"Hurry up sannie! The fight starts in 10"
Said his mentor trying to rush the taller for their awaited fight. Wooyoung had planned something for this fight and so he does for every last fight in each ring.

"It is today sannie, I promise to feed you well after this one"
San smiled brightly, those smiles he only shows to woo, continuing to wrap his wrest with a fold.

He finally was ready to go in and eat the battle up, he stayed up late last night thinking of how to win the fight to please woo, and now that he is a fight away from happy Wooyoung? He will go all in for him.

The cheering was all loud as soon as they entered the room, the guy Mount will be fighting today is farther from being an easy target, he knows it so well but never hesitated once to fight, he didn't care how hurt he could get as long as it made his mentor proud.

The referee welcomed both fighters on the ring, "Ladies and gentlemen, please direct your attention to the right corner of the ring! Introducing to you one of the fiercest competitors in the world of combat sports. He's known for his unyielding strength, lightning-fast reflexes, and a relentless determination to dominate his opponents. Give it up for the one, the only, the unstoppable force: Leo!"

"And in the opposite corner, brace yourselves for the epitome of resilience and triumph! This warrior has faced countless challenges, yet never once backed down. With an indomitable spirit and a heart of a lion, he has astonished audiences time and time again with his miraculous comebacks. Get ready to witness the master of resilience, the conqueror of adversity: Mount!"

San's expression got serious and his mien changed to competitive, he was determined to win again today regardless of how strong and scary his opponent appeared.

The first round out of 10 started. In the opening moments of the match, the atmosphere was charged with anticipation as Leo and Mount entered the ring. Leo, with a determined look in his eyes, exuded confidence, while Mount, known for his legendary comebacks, wore a calm yet focused expression.

As the bell rang, signaling the start of the bout, Leo wasted no time, unleashing a barrage of swift jabs and hooks, aiming to establish dominance early on. However, Mount, with his trademark resilience, expertly evaded Leo's attacks, showcasing his impeccable defensive skills.

Mount countered with precision, landing a few well-timed punches that caught Leo off guard. Despite Leo's aggressive onslaught, Mount seemed to have a slight upper hand in the exchanges, his movements fluid and calculated.

The crowd erupted with excitement as Leo and Mount engaged in a fierce back-and-forth, each fighter demonstrating their unique strengths and tactics. As the first round came to a close, Mount's ability to weather Leo's assaults and mount his own offensive maneuvers hinted at the thrilling battle that was yet to unfold.

Every punch tackled wooyoung's nerves, he was not the best when it came to patience, all he wanted was to implement his plan successfully again today. He went around checking with bettors who their bet was, while keeping an eye on san.
The bell rang announcing the end of the first round. Simultaneously Mount's mentor hurried to his side of the ring to prepare him for the next round.
Handing him a small towel with some water to hydrate himself and catch a breath. He started massaging his shoulders and the back of his neck whispering a few words into his ear and san only nodded.

The next few rounds went the same, with Leo having the upper hand at times but Mount always had his comebacks, that's what he is known for after all.

Wooyoung kept ticking the boxes of his plan around while san took care of the fight.

Wooyoung's plan was to convince the people around who didn't know Leo enough that he was way stronger, always winning his fights eventually, although this wasn't too far from who Leo was but he took privilege of knowing san too well too. He had whispered him the words he loves to hear from him, he just knows san will never let him down.

He wanted to have people trust Leo so they bet generously on him instead, resulting in their money being his own once Leo loses, let alone the money he would get when san wins, it was a win-win for his team only. He had done this way too many times before and always on the last day of visiting a ring so he can still fool bettors in different rings.

The match on the other hand was in progress, they were already closer to the last 5 rounds than the first. It was the beginning of the 7th round, Leo had won 4 of them while Mount only won 2, no doubt their strengths were comparable but the difference of wins was only a part of wooyoung's plan, he whispers to san when to win or lose before each round and he complies.

San continued the 7th round with the plan of winning it after being told to do so, although he was so focused on winning yet he still stole some glances here and there at his mentor, until one time when he landed an eye on him wooyoung was backing off from someone screaming in his face with their hand raised ready to be thrown at him.
San had lost all the brain cells that make sense of things and in a flash light movement he jumped off the ring appearing in front of his mentor that he was no longer visible to the man attacking him, san's massively built body had been utilized as a shield to absorb any punches coming from the fuming man. The man backed off when faced by san's sharp eyes like a wild cat with claws ready to attack.
"Are you okay!?" San said looking wooyoung up and down with his hands tracing the shorter's face making sure he didn't get hurt anywhere.
Wooyoung only rolled his eyes pushing the latter's hands off him grimacing to show annoyance, "for god's sake Mount look what you have done, can you just focus on the fucking game??" He raised an eyebrow finishing off his words with a huff, the taller lowered his face walking back to the ring "I..i'm sorry.. Young~ah".

The fighter's mentor was mad because now no matter if san wins all three left rounds it would only make a tie, leading them to add an extra round to determine the winner which he hated since he wanted to finish with his plan asap and leave without looking back.

San was giving the fights his all, he not only insisted on winning to please wooyoung but also had gained more power knowing that his one and only was now safe, it filled his heart with relief.
He fought like there was no tomorrow, until the tie was announced by the judge.
"Now that this ended with a tie, we will add an extra round to decide the winner of tonight." Once again Mount's mentor prepared him the towel and a refresher of a drink, he cupped san's face in his hands and connecting their foreheads
"Look sannie, I know you are tired by now but I believe in you, do this for us hm? So we can finally afford a house for us to live together" he hummed in anticipation waiting for san's reply.
The taller was focused on the shorter's eyes, he smiled and nodded lifting his hand to caress the latter's face, it only felt the warmth of wooyoung's face for a second before he took a few steps to the back causing san's hand to feel cold again caused by the referee's announcement of the last game.
