The dim lit room was warm, Mun's face burning up from the sudden appearance of Hana made it even worse. He sighed to bring himself back together and turned around to see the silhouette of the woman.
Hana stepped back as Mun smiled. They both got their guard up and Mun nodded, "of course, miss Do."
The room was silent, except for the two counters steps and breaths. They were circling around the ring until Mun crouched to launch himself towards Hana. The woman was quite surprised, since he would usually let her attack first.
Hana always seems to forget how fast Mun is. But she closed her eyes and waited for the last second to dodge and that made the man crash into the ropes.
Hana found that a great opportunity to get to him but Mun slid aside and got up.
The match was pretty equilibrated and the two were getting a little tired of trying to chase each other around in the ring.
Mun sighed and let his guard down for a second, Hana took that chance to throw him down on his back.
She was about to give him the final blow, but as she got on top of him, Mun gave her a little peck on the cheek to distract her and rolled her over.
"Got you."
At this point, Hana didn't even care about losing. "What was that for?" She asked, covering her blushing cheeks with the back of her hand.
Mun froze. What in Yung's name made him do this? He got up and lended his hand to Hana. "I absolutely wanted to win but I couldn't find a way to, so I improvised." Hana got a grip of his hand and got up. Mun continued to babble; "I'm sorry I didn't mean to make things awkward, that was stupid I- mph-"
Hana covered his mouth with her hand. "It worked well. Just, don't use that technique on actual evil spirits, or anyone other than me," she stopped talking and searched for his eyes. "I might get jealous."
Mun was speechless. He followed Hana down the ring and they both sat down on the exterior part of the canvas of the ring, leaning back on the ropes.
"I'm sorry for avoiding the topic these past few days, Mun," Hana started, "I do have feelings for you. And that peck really made me realise how much I want you."
Hana closed her eyes to shut out any weird looks from Mun, but she felt his pinky hooking onto hers, and slowly lifting her hand up and tangling their fingers together.
"Hana. Look at me."
The woman opened her eyes to see Mun having the biggest smile on his face. Hana hasn't seen him this happy ever since he got back from his trip. "I like you too."
Hana's eyes lit up, the reflection of the vending machine lights shining in her eyes. "You do?" She sighed and got back to her usual self. "Ugh we never know with you, you still have that childish, flirty personality. You made me think I was extremely delusional but I was right all this time?"
Mun got up and placed himself in front of her, putting down his hands on both sides of her. "And you thought I knew about you having a crush on me," Mun said, nearly a little irritated.
The two then realised how close to each other they were, their noses nearly touching.
Mun got closer, feeling Hana's breath getting quicker and her gaze lowering to his lips. "Can I?" Mun asked, getting his right hand on her cheek. Hana nodded, closing her eyes.
Their lips touched and they both leaned into the kiss. Hana pulled back and placed her hand on Mun's shoulder. "I've never kissed someone before. I'm sorry if I'm bad."
Mun nodded. "I haven't either."
The both of them giggled a little, and Hana grabbed Mun's hand and held it tight.
"Mun, will you go out with me?"
Mun looked at her with a little smirk. "Those words are coming from the same person who got angry because I told my grandparents you asked me out first~"
Hana grabbed his cheeks and smooshed them a little. "Just answer."
Mun pecked her on the forehead. "Of course." He then pecked her on the cheek, then the other.
"Just- kiss me on the lips already."
The man looked at Hana and held her face with both hands. "Of course, miss Do."
"That's the worst nickname you've ever given me," Hana rolled her eyes and kissed her boyfriend. This kiss was more passionate that the first one.
Mun brought his hands to her waist, not really sure what to do with them since it's his first time kissing someone. Hana just wrapped her's around his neck.
Mun pulled away a little too soon to Hana's taste, apparently, since she glared a little. "Hana; You meet up with Dasom early tomorrow. You need to sleep."
The woman slid her hands to his shoulders. "You're right. Good night then," she said as she kissed him one last time, "I love you."
Mun hugged her. "I love you too."

[Do Re Mi Fa Sol La Ti Do Piano Academy]
Dohwi was closing up the academy as Dasom waited for him outside. As the man got out, he noticed a strange old man standing on the stairs.
Dohwi looked at Dasom, who was just staring at the mysterious man in horror. "Dad, what are you doing here?"
A raspy, eerie response came from the man who was supposedly Dasom's father. "Dasom, sweetie. Daddy's having money problems again. Mind lending me some? Sharing is caring~"
The woman got closer to the older man. "I won't give you anything. We've talked about this."
Dasom's dad put his hand out and Dohwi somehow was pulled towards it, the old man was now holding him hostage.
"You're embarrassing yourself in front of your boyfriend. Come on now, give me at least 100 thousand won. I'll pay them back~"
Dasom was shocked by the man's sudden use of some sort of psychokinesis, she was frozen in place.
Her father looked around, still holding Dohwi by the throat. "The... 'territory' appeared~"
A few seconds later, two other figures appeared at the top of the stairs. Dasom examined them and then gasped.
"Hana? Mun?"
