Season two, chapter fifty-three
"Reckless"
THEA FINDS HERSELF trapped in a riveting deja vu experience, reminiscent of the tumultuous days when Mun first became a part of the team. As history eerily repeats itself, tensions escalate when Hana boldly challenges Jeok-bong, a seemingly feeble opponent who struggles to even defeat a helpless fly.
"Okay, come at me" As Hana extended her bandaged hand towards Jeok-bong, her unwavering determination shone through her expressionless face
"Okay, I hope we get along" Jeok-bong reciprocated her action and extended his hand to shake Hana's. Though in a split second, Hana effortlessly outwits Jeok-bong, sending him crashing to the ground with a lightning-fast maneuver. Even Thea, with her keen eye, couldn't anticipate Hana's incredible display of skill
Thea couldn't help but cringe as Jeok-bong clumsily tumbled, overpowered time and time again by Hana's unwavering skill. In each defeat, a familiar memory stirred within about a certain black-haired boy sitting next to her.
"First period's over" Hana announced, removing the bandages wrapped around her hands
"Don't be so hard on him" With Thea's gentle voice echoing in his ears, Mun felt a little sorry for Jeok-bong who was really trying his best
"Goodness. This is making me nostalgic" Mun exclaimed, scrunching his nose up as he approached the boy lying on the boxing blanket. Inspired by the heartfelt words of his adoring girlfriend, "Jeok-bong. You need to get up" Mun took him by the hand helping him stand up on his feet
"Holy... do I look like I'm okay?" Jeok-bong's voice barely escaped his lips, stumbling over his own feet
"I thought he was swearing" As she clings to a simple plastic cup brimming with refreshing water, Thea filled it with water for her
"You're dead meat" Jeok-bong commented through clenched teeth, holding Mun weakly by the waist
"That's good!" Mun exclaimed with excitement, effortlessly and exuberantly flipping his opponent to the ground. Amidst the intensity of the moment, Hana's exasperated sigh lingered, laden with the weight of frustration and disappointment "Back then, Mo-tak did something and knocked me out. How did he do it?" Mun questioned, lying on the ground beside Jeok-bong, clinging to Jeok-bong's neck "Man, this grip feels nice"
"Tap!" Jeok-bong desperately tried to break free, battling against the iron grip exerted by relentless Mun
"Hey, you can't tap out in real fights. Go it?" As he tightens his grip around Jeok-bong's neck, he suddenly grunts in pain when Jeok-bong tightly grabbed his hair "Let go!"
"Hey! That's enough!" In a moment of distress, Thea's protective instincts kick in as she races to the aid of her boyfriend, whose irresistible features now wear a tortured expression
