Love At First Kick

118

We've been here for about 2 weeks now, and it looks like those who lazied around are gaining back their hard work. We are having intense classes, and it's only getting worse, but people are working hard.

I'm personally feeling fantastic. Thanks to us being in the same room, I'm sleeping like a baby through the night. I didn't have any issues like I usually do when we first get here. Jimin is the same at the moment. Every night when we get into bed, he gets all giddy and happy about it. Looks like he's happier about that, then he is about training.

And talking of Jimin and the training... he's been working out like a madman. He even started going to the gym between the classes with Chen and Shonwu. I don't see why. I'm afraid he's going to overwork himself, but he says he is more than okay. Besides, I'm not going to complain. Muscles and all.. y'know.

''Class dismissed. Thank you for your hard work tonight. I will see all of you later tonight.' Coach Ishijo waved before he left the gym. He tends to leave quickly.

'Damn, I'm starving.' Chen whines

'Are you ever not hungry?' Iye teases him, snickering a bit

'It takes a lot of effort to stay tanky, kiddo.' Chen grins at her

'Talking of tanks, are we heading to the gym later?' Jimin asks Chen

'Where do you get the strength from, man? You are an absolute machine.' Chen sighs at him

'You were the one that asked me to come with you first, you dumbass. What are you complaining about now?' Jimin laughs a little

'And now I feel like I've made a mistake.' Chen teases. 'After lunch, then?'

'I think I'm gonna skip on lunch today. I ate so much last night that I'm still thinking of throwing up.' Jimin grimaces

I didn't want to say anything as no one else really knows how much he eats or anything, but he never skips lunch. He needs all the energy he can get, so he needs to eat. Skipping lunch with this amount of training is not good.

I waited until we came back to the room to ask.
'Hey, Jimin, is everything okay?'

'Hmm? What do you mean?'

'You don't skip your lunches and such. Are you feeling okay?' I ask

'Ahh.. Sorry to worry you.' He smiles. 'I'm just too tired too chew, I'm not gonna lie. I really don't feel hungry at the moment. I just wanna shower.'

'You can't skip meals, Jimin. You're working yourself too hard. You're gonna get sick. Please, don't do that.' I plead with him. I'm worried about the amount of work he's been putting it. He basically has 4 training sessions a day. Running, training, gym, training. And on repeat. Even on Sundays, which is our day off, he goes running and to the gym. That's a bit too much.

'I'll be okay, I promise. If I feel it's too much, I'll rest.' He smiles, but this is not something that's convincing me much. He is too stubborn to do that.
'I'm sorry for worrying you, baby. But I pinky promise I won't get sick.' He cupped my face, looking directly into my eyes

'Pinky promise.'

He giggled a bit, but he wrapped his finger around mine.

'I'm gonna go shower now.' He kissed me, then brushed his nose over mine cutely. Damn it. He just melted all my worries away. I love it when he does that. Too cute.

'Is he seriously not coming to lunch?' IyeShi asks me, seeing how I came to lunch on my own

'Yeah. He's gone straight to bed from the shower.' I sigh. 'Chen, can you do me a favour?'

'Name it, Bubbly.' He nods

'Can you keep an eye on him in the gym? I think he's overworking himself but he's too stubborn to pull back. He's refusing to stay still and I'm worried he'll end up getting sick or something.'

'Consider it done. I'll get him out of there early and cut a few days. Hopefully that's gonna help.' He nods again

'Thank you so much. I'm sorry to ask that of you. I know you wanna train as well.' I do feel a bit guilty that he's cutting his own workout to help Jimin

'No, not at all. He's the one that's been pulling me around lately. I know I asked him to join me, but now I'm the one struggling to keep up.' He sighed a little

'I've given up on keeping up. He's impossible to keep up with.' Shownu, who's always in the gym with them, added to the convo

'At least he's gonna look hot. With that much training, he must be ripped.' JinWoo grins

Well, that changed the conversation completely.

'Look, I'm a guy. Straight. Got a girlfriend. But even my heart races seeing that guy naked. I feel bad for you, Bubbly. You have it rough.' Chen made everyone laugh

'Don't I know it.' I sigh dramatically, making them laugh even more

'Talking about muscles and all made me wanna work out. I'm heading to the gym. See you there.' Shonwu patted Chen on the shoulder as he got up and left

'I'll head out, too. I'll see you later.' Chen left as well, and soon, everyone else disbanded

I went back to the room as well to let Jimin know that they'll be in the gym, but it seems he's already gone himself. His gym shoes are gone. When the hell did he end up going?!

-----

I haven't seen him since the morning class. I did walk past the gym just to see if he was there, and I couldn't see him at all. He must have been in the back or something.

He was already in the gym, stretching on the floor by the time people started coming in.

'Jimin, please tell me you didn't come here straight from the gym.' This was more of a threat than anything

'No, no. I've gone to eat something after the gym. I just got here like 5 minutes ago.' He smiles at me

'Jimin, please, stop pushing yourself this much. This is too much.' I plead with him, kneeling in front of him

'I'll be okay, baby. I promised, didn't I?' He smiled, reaching over to caress my face
'What is it?' He asks, seeing me look a bit weird

I put my hand over his, then moved it from my face, taking it with both of my hands.
'Jimin, are you sure you're okay? Your hand is really warm.'

Now that I think about it, this morning when he kissed me, his lips were really hot. I just figured it was because we just came out of the class and all.

'Yeah, I'm feeling alright.' He l looks at his hands, touching it up a bit

'Can you do me a favour and calm down a bit? Don't go for that run in the morning. Just rest. Please.'

'Rin, I'm okay. I know how far I can go.' He argues

'No, Jimin, you don't. You are way past your limit. You are staying in in the morning, or I'm gonna tie you to the bed.' I threaten

'Oooh, kinky. I'm into it.' He giggles, joking

'Jimin, I'm not joking. You need rest. And if you're too stubborn to take it, I'll force it on you.' I'm not in the joking mood

He took a deep breath after he saw that I'm not in the same mood. 'Okay. I'll sleep it in in the morning.' He smiles

'Thank you.' I caress his face, but now I'm even more worried. His face is even warmer than his hand. Even a bit flushed. 'Are you sure you're okay?' I ask again

'Yes.' He smiles. He's lying. He's barely looking me in the eye. Damn it, Jimin. But this is not the time to argue. I'll do that after class when we're back in the room.

'I'm gonna change now. I'll be back in 5.'

He was laughing about something with the guys once I came out. I know he's not feeling well, but I think he will be fine for the class. He can rest after.

'Evening ladies and gentlemen. Let's line up.'
