Hyunmi's POV

This is so awkward. What do I say to him? I'm so nervous when it's just the two of us alone in the same room. My heart is beating like crazy. I feel like I want to bury myself in the grave.

He kept on staring at me as if I'm interesting to look at. I look away from him but he spoke up out of sudden making my shoulders to jump a bit.

"Why don't we spar for today?"

He was offering me to fight him with him. 1 against 1. I turn my head to him almost immediately. It kind of reminds me when we were little.

We used to fight together to make us even stronger but I always win against him. We even entered a karate tournament and guess what? I win again and got a trophy, making my parents proud.

"You mean like when we're little?"I questioned him.

Why am I even asking him that?

"Well yeah. It's not like we do it so often"he give me a smile where his teeth showing.

"O-Okay. Let me stretch a bit"I replied, walking to the centre of the dojo.

He was now standing right in front of me and I grew even nervous. I started to strecth my arms and legs. As soon as I'm done, I'm ready to fight against him. Just like before.

I have to win this. I don't want to lose. Think of this fight is like a tournament and everyone around you is watching. Dad doesn't teach you to be weak. I must stay stronger.

I clench my hand tightly, doing my own fighting stance. Same goes to him as we stared at each others eyes. I inhale and exhale my breath trying to ease the nervousness in my chest.

"Ready when you are"he said while forming a little smirk.

I lastly exhale my breath out and begin to throw some kicks and punches to him. I show him all my fighting techniques where I learnt it from my dad.

Most importantly, must know how to block from the opponent. Both of us are black belts so we are the experts and have been trained with all the skills.

What I'm more scare is that, some of his techniques are different from before. He may be training alone after he moved away from around this area.

I send him a roundhouse kick but he blocked it just in time and grab my leg as he pulled me towards him making me lost my balance. He almost gave me a punch on my right cheek due to me avoiding it quickly.

But that won't stop him from attacking me yet he succeed punching me on my arm. I wince in pain from how strong he is.

"You're getting stronger huh?"I smile through the pain.

"Heh. Of course I am. I won't lose to you"he answered, running towards me.

I avoided his kick by ducking my head down and grab his arm. I was planning to make him fall down but I didn't expect that he pulled me down as well.

A thud sound can be heard and now I'm on top of him. I open my eyes as I raised my head up to see his face so close from me. I lean away with tint cheeks.

Somehow I'm hypnotize by his beauty. We stare again but this time is longer than before. I can feel his chest heaving up and down. We've been breathing heavily from the fight plus sweating.

I realize that his arms wrapped around my waist but my heart say to stay still. I don't know for who God's know how long we've been staring and someone interrupted our moment.

We both break the eye contact and change our gaze to the person. It was Woong.

"What are you guys doing?"he asked with his eyes widen and approaches us.

"I-It's not what you think!!"I stood up immediately, blushing madly.

Jihoon just casually get up and he wipe away the invisible dust from his uniform.

"W-We were having a spar earlier"I stuttered and try to convince him with the truth.

Woong is protective when it comes to this for example that I was on top of Jihoon. Scene like this happened before and he was mad about it when a guy suddenly pin me to the wall.

He went rampage and told that guy to stay away from me. This happened in my previous school tho. He doesn't like seeing me like that with other guy. I don't know why but I think that's just how a brother is.

He squint his eyes at me, as if trying to read my expression. I bit my bottom lips and hung my head down.

"He's telling the truth"Jihoon said from beside me."He lost his balance and I tried to catch him"

The way he lied to him with a serious face is amazing. He stood up for me. I'm kinda grateful for that. I glance at Woong who is nodding his head up and down.

"Okay as long as my little brother is not hurt"he smile so brightly and look at me.

"Oh Jihyun... Mom and dad was worried that you aren't home yet so I came here to come get you"he told, walking up to me.

"Okay!"I answered and turn to Jihoon."You should go back home now. We'll spar next time"

He just bounced his head up and down meaning it's a yes and went to the locker room to grab some of his things. Woong look at me with a playful smirk.

"Is that your childhood friend who you've been crushing for?"

"S-Shut up!"

I blush and hit his arm hardly making him in pain as he rubbed the place rapidly. Serves him right. I chuckle and wait for Jihoon to come back from grabbing his stuff.

After he is done, I switch off the lights of the dojo and locked the door using the spare key dad gave it to me. Jihoon tap my shoulder and grab my hand, placing a piece of paper on my palm.

I gaze down and saw few digits written on it. I smile to him while waving my hand. We bid our goodbyes as both me and Woong went home together.

"Are you hungry?"he asked, lifting up one of his eyebrows.

"Not really I think I--"my words got cut off by the sound of my stomach growling, telling me that I'm hungry.

He couldn't help himself from laughing as he put his arm around my shoulder.

"C'mon, I'll cook some food for you"

However he really did cook some food for me and it was delicious. It was my first time eating the food he cooked. I went to my bedroom, sitting on the chair and stare into space.

Until my phone vibrates making me to snap back to reality. I take my phone from the table and saw some messages from an unknown person.

[?????]:

Hey Hyunmi... It's me Jihoon :)

[Hyunmi]:

Wait... How'd you get my number? And why did you even gave me your phone number?

I immediately save his number into my contact. Now I can finally able to text you. My phone vibrates again and I can't help but to smile like an idiot.

[Jihoonie]:

I can't wait any longer for your text to come lol

[Hyunmi]:

Aish...

Uh... Do you want to hang out this weekend?

[Jihoonie]:

Sure!! We'll meet at your dad's dojo then

[Hyunmi]:

Alright!!

I stood up from sitting on the chair and I plopped down on the bed as I slid in my phone under my pillow. I'm looking forward this weekend with Jihoon.

I hope there's nothing bad to happen between the two of us.
