Third Person's POV

"Jia, Mr Kwon told you to choose your PE class as soon as possible."  Hoshi informed her. "They have to add it to your schedule or else you won't get any points."

Jia thinking a bit before asking him.  "Which is the least chosen one?"

Hoshi knitting his brows hearing this weird question. Because people normally asked which is the most favorite.

"Boxing"  he responded, "only 4 out of every student here pick this sport. It was too hard to be impressed."

No thought, no reaction. Jia just smile at him and says. "I will be the fifth student."

She then leave him alone with so many questions. He couldn't believe what he heard and what is in her head. If entering someone's brain is possible she would be the first person he choose.

"This girl is scary."  Hoshi talking to himself.

On Friday afternoon all students have to depart from class to join their PE session they chose.

As most people go to basketball court or dancing room. Jia was excitedly making her way to the boxing club so eager to try on boxing gloves for the first time.

Hoshi wasn't lying, there were only 5 people including coach who is unexpected to see the new student is a girl.

"What is your name?"  The coach asked.

"Baek Jia."

"Did you choose it by mistake?" He asked again, seriously curious.

"Wide eyed and fully conscious, sir."  She said.

"How fearless of you to join something not even a guy have a brave to." He patted her shoulder. "I like it."

The only face Jia recognize is Mingyu who is looking at her down from the ring. And the other two guys she believed are from different class.
'At least there is another girl.' Jia was glad to see one girl in the team. Even though that girl doesn't seem like she would be interested in men because she looks almost like a man herself.

"Have you play any sports before?" Coach questioning Jia to complete the task paper in his hand. To avoid any activities she can't do or any accident in the future.

"I used to play basketball and fencing."

"We have those sports too why don't you join?" Her teammates asked.

"I want to try new things." She shrugged.

"Have you get your ankles sprained or twisted before?"

"I did. It was my left foot." The coach nodded and ticking something again in his paper.

After asking her every question needed. Coach told Jia to go warm up with a big punching bag. Having Mingyu as her guide.

"Hand wrap and boxing gloves is a must." He then pull the hand wrap up from the ground near them. "This called kumpur is to protect your hand and wrist against injuries from punching."

Mingyu gently wrapping it around her hands and wrists. Jia doesn't say a word but she lets him do it for her. After done wearing all protective equipments needed, Mingyu starts teaching Jia some basic techniques.

"Position and movement are important in boxing but what even more important is speed." He stands beside her while lets her facing the punching bag considering it as her competitor. "Knees has to be slightly bent. Elbows down, hands up." He commands her to do as he says.
