Love At First Kick

89

We had quite a few classes since the group came in, and honestly, everyone is doing great. Even Jea picked it up, but she is becoming worse and worse.

Just yesterday she ran to Jimin giving him some chocolates as a "thank you" for being patient even though she's "so clumsy".

She'd probably be so pissed off if she knew that he passed them to Jungkook. He didn't have an issue gobbling them up. But she really isn't giving up.

I haven't told her a thing about Jimin and me, but I somehow doubt that would stop her.

Aaaand here she goes again.

'Jimin hyung! Can you do my belt for me please?' She ran up to him, holding her belt in her hands, batting her eyes at him

Now I'm getting really pissed off. I get you need some help in the beginning, but you've been here for 3 weeks. You should have learned how to do your belt by now.

'Can you just tell her to back off? Even I'm getting annoyed and I'm not dating him. She's taking over your ritual.' Youji clicks her tongue

She's got that right. Kind of. He tied my belt every single day since the first tournament we went on, but for the last three weeks, this little witch has been taking over. And I know, it's just a belt. But it means a lot more to me than you might think. The fact that he did it for me made my heart skip a beat.

'It's okay. Don't worry.' I smile at her, trying to look like I'm not bothered. But it hurts. And I don't know how to tell him.

'Today, you will try sparring. They will be coaching you through it, and you will give it your best.'

'Fuck yes.' I grin at the thought of beating the shit out of her

'Don't kill her.' Irina teases me

Irina and Mi Noa clicked in perfectly with us. Irina is a bit of a gossip girl, but she's nice. And Shon seems to have become great with the guys as well. They've even gone out bowling the other day.

'Jimin hyung! Can you teach me how to fight?' Jea asks him

'If she calls him Jimin hyung one more time in that damn voice...' I mumble under my breath. It's hunting me in my dreams.

'Sure.' He smiles

I just rolled my eyes and went to put on my equipment.

'Jimin hyung, can you show me how to put these on?'

'I have a 5-year-old brother. He is less dependent on others.' Mi Noa comments

Jea became kind of a club clown in a way. She's been coming on so damn strong. And everyone sees it. But she doesn't care.

Of course, Jimin being Jimin, showed her how to put on the pads and did her shield for her. He should have tightened that a lot more.

'I haven't done this in years. Please, have mercy.' Irina jokingly bows to me

'Don't worry, I'm not gonna fight you like I fight the rest of them.' I laugh

Everyone paired up and the first round started. Irina is actually quite fast. That's nice. She is not half bad.

'Jesus.' She grunts a little, moving back

'Sorry, I'll go easier.' I already toned it down a lot, but it can't be helped

'It's not your fault. Going from your level to mine is a big difference. I just didn't brace myself.' She smiles and straightens herself up. 'Let's keep going.'

I ended up mostly running around her,  not attacking much. I was too distracted watching Jea cling to Jimin in her fight. I don't think I've hugged him this much within the last year and a half we trained together. I might accidentally hit her a bit too hard.
