Love At First Kick

59

I don't think Jimin's opponent knew what hit him. He probably didn't expect the raw power from Jimin, as he is so much shorter. But he practically carried him out of the court with his kicks.

He was even more shocked as Jimin clapped him over his head, stretching his legs in a perfect split. God, he looks so damn cool when he fights.

First round ended with Jimin leading by 6 points. He didn't even seem as tired. Sweaty, but not tired.
The next round started with a guy running to Jimin, trying to go for his head, but Jimin jumped and back kicked him in an awkward spot. He hit him in the throat by accident, getting the opponent to start choking. It was damn scary. He was also the first one to jump and pull off the helmet from the opponent to help him out.

The fight got stopped as Jimin and the opponent's coach quickly started undoing his shield to let him get some air as quickly as possible. Getting hit in the throat is not fun. You instantly go into panic mode and start choking. Happened to me once, and I've still got nightmares from it.

It was quite a commotion on the court, and a lot of people from the side were looking in shock as the guy was struggling quite a bit to reset himself.
Thankfully, he managed to recover from it, but he was still sitting down on the ground, just trying to breathe. Even from here, we could see his eyes went bloodshot as he was lacking air for so long.

Jimin was on his knees next to him, his hand on the guy's shoulder. He probably got scared as well.

They took good 5 minutes, but the guy surprisingly wanted to continue the fight. He got up and they put his equipment back on. Jimin and he hugged before continuing the fight.

Props to him for not giving up, but it might have been better if he did. He lost within the next 40 seconds, with Jimin putting him out. Again. At least this time it was only for a moment, as he quickly woke up. But he couldn't continue.

They walked out of the court with Jimin supporting him from the side, and both coaches walking behind them. I guess he walked him back to wherever he was sitting before coming back to us.

He came back looking so worried and scared. No one knew what to tell him, seeing how he was. He went straight to me, hugging me tightly and burying his face into my neck. He was all sweaty, and his hair was pretty much damp, sticking to his forehead.

'You alright?' I ask him softly, rubbing his back gently

'I got scared shitless when he started choking. I thought I could have killed him.' He says, barely even talking

'Hey, look at me.' I lift his face, forcing him to look at me
'I know you got scared. It wasn't a nice sight. But you can't kill someone so easily.' I chuckle, trying to lighten him up. 'It's not like one kick is gonna end his life. Unless you kick him off the cliff or something.' I joke and he scoffs a bit, but a tiny smile shows on his face

'I guess you have a point.' He sighs. 'Still scary as hell. I should pull back a bit.'

'If you pull back, you'll end up getting hurt. Don't you dare do that. Just keep going as you did so far. It's not your fault he ran to you. He should be more careful.' There's not much he could do. It was just an awkward spot

'Again. Good point.' He finally relaxed, smiling at me. 'What would I do without you?' He says with a light smile on his face, caressing my cheek

At least he's managed to stop worrying. He seems okay now. He must have just been in shock. I would be too if I were him.

We watched Anya win her next fight, running circles around her opponent. Jin got another win, with IyeShi following behind with another win. A KO point.
