CHAPTER 34

Jasmine was left alone in the kitchen lost in her thoughts.

NO ONE POV

Jasmine sat down on the floor of the private gym of the mansion waiting for Yoongi to come for their first training session. She couldn't help but feel nervous, Jasmine felt out of all the guys Yoongi was one the most intimidating.

She got so used to just hanging out with Seokjin or watching Jimin, Taehyung, and Mingyu playing with Euphoria. And her occasional conversations with Hyungwon whom she found out was one of Jungkook's cousins.

She let out a sigh trying to relieve her stress.

"I got this, I'm strong"

Soon after the door of the gym opened revealing Yoongi who looked like he didn't want to be there.

"Let's get this over with," is all he said as he walked towards her.

Jasmine quickly stood up.

"Good morning," she muttered.

"Yeah, morning"

"Have you ever done anything regarding self-defense classes before?" He asked looking at her. Jasmine shook her head. "I've never had the chance", Yoongi signed and was silent for a moment.

"Any workout routine I should know of that you have done before," Jasmine fiddled with her fingers trying to calm her nerves, as she took too long to answer his question Yoongi raised his eyebrow in anticipation.

"Oh...I used to do some cardio after I gave birth to my daughter, and after I started working at V.I.P I was going to Pilates and Yoga lessons.... but I haven't gone to any for obvious reasons," Jasmine said. Yoongi only nodded.

"Good to know I can make a solid workout routine and a diet you should follow. Just so you know I won't go easy on you, for today we will start with how to defend yourself when someone tries to attack you. Gear up and get in the ring," he said looking at her without blinking.

Jasmine already felt like dying.

"I'm going to teach you two different kinds of martial arts fighting styles for now, we're going to start with kickboxing and end with Karate. Do you know anything about kickboxing or karate," he asked her with a stern face

"No, I don't,"

"No, sensei," Jasmine looked up confused

"In here I'm your teacher and coach so address me as sensei, and when I talk to you look at me in the eyes, if there is something so interesting to look at on the floor please elaborate on me so we can both have fun," the sarcasm made Jasmine feel embarrassed

Yoongi raised his eyebrows waiting for her answer.

"No sensei I don't know anything about kickboxing or karate," she said trying her best to maintain eye contact.

"Good, listen carefully because I'm only going to say this once. Kickboxing is a hybrid form of martial arts combining pouches and kicks, emphasizing agility and rapid striking. Are you still following," Jasmine nodded. Yoongi only hummed.

"Karate originally comes from Okinawa, Japan, and focuses on powerful strikes, kicks, knee strikes, and open-hand techniques. The rules we've set for everyone who works for BTS are to obtain these material arts first,"

"Since you don't know anything about kickboxing or karate I will give you homework after each lesson, you should be able to know how the human body works and you should know the ins and outs of the art especially when it comes to defending yourself"

Jasmine felt like her brain was being fried alive as she listened to Yoongi talk.

"I expect you to finish the homework I give you after each lesson if not punishment will be required and you will have to redo your old homework with new homework so avoid piling up your work, you may hate me right now but it's for your own good. Am I understood," Yoongi said
