LOVE DEFENSE

5. HIGH KICK TO THE SKY

JUNGKOOK'S POV

Damn! among so many people here, why her?  "But.. sabeumnin..." I am mumbling. "Yes, boy?" He answers. "Is it okay if I am paired up with her? since we are new and she is ... a girl." I don't wanna to underestimate her or discriminate her, but I just wanna prevent something bad happen since we are not a pro. "Don't worry me. I am okay", she talks to me with her confident written all over her face, "..or you just underestimate me because I am a girl?" Geez! She starts with her attitude again and what happened with her over confident face just now? "N-No! of course not! I just-" I answer her fast but then get cut by Jiyong Sabeumnim, "Okay..okay. Let's cut this! Boy.. you don't have to worry this girl since this practice won't give both of you any harm if you do as my instructions. Okay?"  We just nod and then he leaves us.

"Hey..my name is Chaeyoung. I don't want to start our friendship with this kind of...you know, " she tries to talk to me and gives her hand. "My name is Jungkook. I actually also do not intend to have enemy or somewhat. I just felt angry back then because you accused me and didn't let me explain myself at that time." I start to soften and accept her hand. "Yeah...but I still should get a sorry from you since you were wrong", she adds. Without warning, I strengthen my hand which makes her gasp. She yanks my hand. "Sorry", I say plainly and.. "if you are satisfied then let's start. We have to pay attention to the trio sabeumnim". She rolls hey eyes. What the hell! She still doesn't understand my point. I am okay if I have to say sorry, but she will think that the problem lays on me only and she won't learn her lessons. This is so endless and useless. Just ignore that crazy girl Jungkook!

ROSE'S POV

He strengthens his hand which makes me gasp. Automatically I yank his hand. He then just says "Sorry..if you are satisfied then let's start. We have to pay attention to the trio sabeumnim." Holy molly! What happens with him. Why did he do that?! Is he still mad at me? I then mumble softly but enough for him to hear, "We are still enemy then.." He turns to me and smirks.

.................................

"Okay.. you have practiced basic kicks in taekwondo slowly and how to move part by part. Now try to practice it directly in one full movement from your joonbi stance until you finish and land your legs again", Minji sabeumnim gives us intructions. This is so boring, but not only new taekwondoin who are instructed to do basic movements and basic kicks but all colored-belt-taekwondoin do the same. So I have to cope with that since this is also my choice. I look around to see there is no senior or new taekwondoin who has black belt. The highest is red from seniors and blue from new taekwondoin. It seems new students who have black belt like me are not interested to join taekwondo again. It is understandable since we may feel bored practicing taekwondo for such long time to achieve black belt. "Hey! Don't be spacing out since you are holding target punch for me. If you are not careful, I may kick you. Unintentionally, of course". I just laugh at him. "You? Kick me?" He just rolls his eyes. This is so funny. He is just a beginner, but I should admit that he is potential since he has strong power but lack of techniques. If he practices hard and regularly, I am sure in six months he will be a good athlete. 

"Listen guys ! Now try the last basic kick. Ne-ryo chagi  or axe kick. The way to do the kick is as already explained before. Because most of you are new and still not flexible, so just try to raise your leg as high as you can and then bring your leg down against the target. Understand?", Seungri sabeumnim instructs us. "Yes!" what we all say. "Okay..stand in your relaxing guarding stance..balchagi joonbi..shijak !" 

I kick the target punch with so much passion but still not in a full technique and power. This is so relaxing. All of my stress is gone away. I still have so much energy left which makes Jungkook looks me in awe. "Close your mouth. I am afraid that it can suck an elephant into there". "Huh! Shut up and just keep kicking the target. Your kicks are so weak! Even it is like wind passing by". "Oh, If it is like a wind then will it be okay if I am carelessly kick you in the head just once? Unintentionally of course!" I give him my evil smirk. "Then try it on! This!", he lean forward so his head is in my reach near the target punch beside his face. Ignore him, Chaeng! Just ignore! "Huh, you won't be able to reach right? Because your legs to short while I am tall. In addition you are just fanning me, not kicking!" He is really testing my patience! 

"Come on! Don't be afraid to give me more wind! This! This!" he still shakes his head and leans forward. I am boiling with anger. He really knows how to make people lose their patience. Then, without warning, I raise my left leg as high as I can and bring it dow with fast movement and controlled amount of power so he can't anticipate the movement. Bugh! My sole of the foot lands on his face and wipes it.

I intentionally did not use my heel because it would give him more dangerous impact so I just used my sole of foot and wiped it on his face to prevent some serious and fatal injuries. To my surprise, he is fainted.
