Fight Me (BTS Taehyung)

Chapter 7

"But I don't want to hurt you" I said in response.

"Trust me," he laughed, "you won't."

I wriggled a little, trying to make some space. As he loosened his grip a little, I tried to elbow him but failed since I couldn't find the strength for overpowering him.

Without giving me time to think of my next move, he had already pushed me down.

He bent forward and grinned, "I told you."

"Sorry for not being Hulk" I mumbled as I stood up.

"It's okay. You wuldn't be here if you didn't need help."

Then he stepped in front of me and turned around, causing me to face his back.

"Put your arms around me" he ordered me, grabbing my arms and wrapping them around the lower part of his upper body.

"What am I supposed to do now?"

"First, strengthen your grip. And then watch how you could've freed yourself earlier."

As ordered, I strengthened my grip while trying to squeeze his arms.

"You tried to elbow me, right?" he waited for a response.

"Right."

"You need to haul off for your move to be successful. That's not possible when you're embraced that tightly."

"What am I supposed to do? Look at yourself and look at me. Even while talking right now, I'm forced to face your back."

He lightly touched my foot with his heel, "Imagine I stepped on your foot with my whole strength. You would loosen your grip a little, right?" he shoved my arms away, "And that's when you make space for yourself to haul off." He carefully placed his elbow between my shoulder and collar bone. Then he turned around and pushed me to the ground again.

"Memorize this array. I will test you when you don't expect it" he informed me as he helped me standing up.

"What do you mean 'when you don't expect it'?"

"You'd expect it if I told you."

"Makes sense" I slightly nodded my head, "I guess."

"Okay, then let's go eating!" Taehyung rejoiced, pushing me towards the door.

"Hold on" I stopped and turned to face him, "Was that all?"

"Nope" he stuck his hands into the pocket of his hoodie, "There's somewhere we need to go. But let's have supper first."

"Where do we need to go?" I asked curiously.

He took out his hands and placed them on my shoulders. Afterwards he spun me around and continued pushing me torwards the door, "Stop questioning everything. Trust me, there's a reason to almost everything I do."

Taehyung rested in the living room while I prepared the meal. We didn't speak a lot. I asked him where to find a few cooking utensils and that was all. Strangely, it wasn't awkward at all.

After eating up, we left Taehyung's house. It was already dark outside.

"By the way" I said as I walked next to him.

"Yeah?"

"Should we have saved some of the food for your parents?"

"I don't live with my parents, Jihye. My step-mother lives in a neighboring town. And my father is currently in the hospital" he stuck his hands into the pocket of his hoodie.
