"...We only have the final round left! The count will start now, so any joining teams, please press the buzzer!"

"One!"

*Buzzzz*

...

...It didn't take long for things to get all fucked up, huh?

...

...Seems I've no choice but to go with 'that' plan.

"...think, Baam?"

...How long has it been now? A week?...No, that can't be right. It feels much longer.

"Baam!"

"Huh?"

"Oh, for the love of God," Khun muttered, giving Baam an exasperated look. "Are you feeling alright? You've been on edge all day..."

"Ah," Baam said hurriedly. "It's nothing really. I guess I'm just not used to this kind of thing - all this fighting..."

It wasn't exactly lying...but it wasn't being truthful either.

I feel bad not telling him the truth, but I can't. Not about Sunna...

"Baam...You're too nice for your own good." Khun mused, shaking his head.

...I'm sorry, Khun.

...

"Stop your moping, turtle!" Rak bellowed. "You are my prey! You are not allowed to act like this around me! It kills my urge to hunt you!"

"...Wow, the crocodile actually cares." Khun said, taunting Rak.

"What! No! I'm not worried at all about that turtle!" Rak shouted defensively. "Stop spouting nonsense, turtle!"

"Admit it, you're just a big softie~" Khun said, taunting and teasing.

"You!"

*Buzzzz*

*Clank, Clank*

"...We can leave the talking for later." Khun said, somewhat solemnly. "Right now we have a match to win."

The remaining four teams had joined the fray.

...And among them stood a familiar person.

...Sunna?

Baam watched intently as the young woman turned to face him.

She met his gaze with an intensity that took his breath away.

Sunna!

his heart started pounding and his mouth went dry.

The woman frowned.

His heart sank.

I'm glad someone got the reference in the last chapter...looking at you, Reiynnya...I sure hope I got that name right...

Anyway...The next chapter will feature some action...which I'm very much 'looking forward to' writing...or not...I'll have to brush up on my English...

...Fighting terms are always fun.
