The One That Got Away-s.rj x c.js

43

The tournament is approaching pretty fast and that means, I got to train a lot. Our team do 7 to 7 everyday. Practically working our asses off for 12 hours. Also it means, I spend less time with my girl. But nonetheless, I'm sure she'll understand.

"Hi, babe!" Speaking of her, the blue-haired girl of my life appeared before me. Handing me a bottled energy drink and a towel.

"Thank you!" I said and kissed her cheek.

"I can't believe another month is ending." She said out of the blue.

I glanced at my phone when I felt it vibrate. Our picture appeared as same as the notification. But what got my attention the most is the date. It's just two days before our first monthsary! That's also the day of the tournament—the first day. I need to think fast.

"Busier days for me." I knew I sounded tired but I just shrugged it off.

"Aww, my poor princess." She cupped my face and kissed my nose.

"I spent less time with you. I feel like a bad girlfriend." I pouted at that thought. How can I neglect a gorgeous girl like her?! I feel bad for myself. Gosh.

"No, no! You're not a bad girlfriend for me, okay?" I nodded at her.

"I understand it. You're a busy person but still, you make time for me. That's what matters." She kissed my forehead after saying those words. I hugged her and let my head rest on her shoulder.

"Thank you for being there." I said and planted a soft kiss on her neck.

"No problem. I'll be here if you need me. Now, go. You'll be late!" She said and kissed me once again before sending me off. I gazed at her once again and saw that ever annoying guy approaching her and rested his arm on her shoulder AGAIN.

My jaw tightened with the view. I quickened my pace and drop my bag harshly at the floor of the gym as soon as I entered. I wore my dobok top with my black belt and led the warm-ups. I can feel my blood boiling because of that scene.

I have said my worries to Vin, including that guy. But she said that I don't need to worry for he is only a friend and she loves me very much. I hold by that but the way he spends more time with my girl than I am, is making me freaking insecure.

After our warm-up, everyone proceeded with their training. I didn't bother to wear my gloves and faced the heaviest punching bag at the corner of the gym. I start to punch it and kick it hard. I can hear the rusty chains at the top of it, screech. It was moving like a light-weighted material because of my attacks. Everyone considered this thing as a sack of metal for it barely move. With some combinations of mine, the punching bag flew accross the room. I heard few gasps, even coach Hwang was surprised.

I breathed furiously, neverminding the beads of sweat forming in my forehead. That freaking scene is replaying in my mind. How dare he touch my girl?!

I focused my eyes on the highest considered place for a 1-inch wooden pad, in this place. It's about seven to eight feet high and is being held up by a metal pole on the side. I exhaled heavily and jumped really high before doing a flip mid-air and kicked the pad. I landed on my feet and the pad pieces scattered on the floor. I heard some cuss from my team mates.

"Choi Yurisses! To my office! Now!" I sighed  loudly and followed coach Hwang to her office along the Junior High School building, bare-footed. I was looking down the whole time and tried to roam my eyes around. But shitty things happen, my eyes fixed at a certain blue-haired girl laughing and smiling with that guy. I clenched my fist and looked away.

"Choi Yurisses!" Coach Hwang's voice echoed in the halls making the students look at me. I followed her, ignoring everyone's stares.

"What do you think you're doing?!" Her loud voice filled the whole office.

"I—I'm sorry, Coach. I—I was just..." I didn't manage to finish my explanation and looked up, trying to stop my tears from flowing.

"What if you hurt yourself?! Or your team mates?!" I looked down and rubbed my eyes. I heard her sigh and went close to me. Next thing I knew, she was patting my back as I cry.

"I—I just bented out my emotions, Coach. I'm sorry." I said, tears streaming down my face.

"Hey, I treat you like a little sister. You can tell me what's bothering you. Just don't do that again. You might badly injure yourself."

"Thank you, Coach. It's just...I've been losing time for my girlfriend lately and she's spending time with a certain guy in her class. I—I tried to talk it out with her, saying I'm kinda pissed because he stood way too close for my liking." I closed my eyes as I release it. "It's just...I'm insecure." I finished.

"You'll get through this. Talk it out to her again and if that doesn't work out. The whole taekwondo team is here for you." She jokingly said the last sentence. I laughed it off and thanked her.

"Thank you, Coa—"

"No need to call me Coach at all times. You can call me 'Unni'." She said and smiled warmly at me.

"Thank you, Coa—Unni—Tiffany-unni." I said and smiled the same way. We walked at the corridor silently after I calmed myself and wipe my tears.

I glanced at their direction again and saw that the guy is trying to talk to her again though she seems occupied. I sighed at the view as I felt a pang on my chest. Damn, why must this simple insecurity turn out like this? This thing is way too much for me to handle.

We entered the gym silently. The heaviest punching bag is back at it's place again and the highest wooden pad is changed too.

"Are you okay?" Jay asked me with a soft look on her face.

"Yeah, just some insecurity stuff." I tried to let it out cool and laughed a bit.

"Hey, that can be a serious case too. Have you two talked it out?" I shrugged at her question.

"Well, we did but seems like she's way too nice to shoo the guy away." Just the thought of their little talk earlier made my heart sad.

"Talk about it again. You can't go in a condition like this. Our City tournament is just around the corner." She patted my shoulder.

I hung my head low and wore my gloves. I faced the heaviest punching bag again and attacked it again. It moved like earlier but I'll surely be careful so it won't fell off again.

Why must be this thing be hard?

Why must be this shit hurt me?

Why must be this guy interfere?

Why must be this love be painful?
