Meant To Be

Chapter Thirty-Four

Lee Ho-Seok

Ho-Seok wiped the sweat off of his forehead before sitting down, Junhyeong passed him a bottle of water before sitting beside him. He knew he needed to have a conversation with Junhyeong before going public with his retirement.

"What's on your mind?" Junhyeong asked.

"A lot actually." Ho-Seok said.

"Are you and Lyric good?" He asked.

"Oh yeah, we're great." Ho-Seok smiled.

"That's great to hear." He smiled.

"So I've been thinking of making this my last season." Ho-Seok said.

"You want to go on a hiatus?" He asked.

Ho-Seok shook his head.

"Retirement." Ho-Seok said glancing at him.

Junhyeong looked at him and nodded.

"I knew it was coming, you are getting older and Lily and Ha-Joon are now adults." He said.

Ho-Seok nodded agreeing.

"What do you think?" He asked.

Junhyeong tilted his head as he began to think.

"You just better go out with a bang, especially if it's your last season." He said.

Ho-Seok nodded.

"Thank you, for everything." Ho-Seok smiled embracing him in a hug.

Junhyeong smiled as he patted his back.

"It's been an honor watching you become a great fighter." He smiled.

"Thank you." Ho-Seok chuckled.

Junhyeong smiled.

"Go home get some rest." He said walking away.

Ho-Seok smiled as he tossed his towel over his shoulder, he heard a few guys whistle before looking over his shoulder.

"Easy." He warned.

Everyone chuckled before they returned to their workouts, he looked at Lyric who smiled as she continued making her way to him.

"Calm down boys, we don't want Mr.Lee to get upset." She teased.

He chuckled before pulling her close.

"You look good." He smiled.

"Thank you." She cheesed.

"What are you doing here? I thought you had an interview?" He asked.

She nodded.

"I did, but that was an hour ago." She said.

"And did you get it?" He asked.
