"Wow... It's already match day."
Yes. The National Sports Festival is being held in the fall. I've been practicing for it since the beginning of the semester, but because of Seo Ga-hyun, I missed a month or two of class. And... I also missed a few months after that incident with senior Min-gyu, so honestly, I'm a little worried.
"Hey, you have a match next week... What should I do?"
"Can't you see the face I don't recognize right now?"
" ..sorry "
"Ha.. Seriously, what should I do?"
"This won't work. I'll give you special training."
"Special...what?"
"Special training! I'll give you a little help."
"..are you okay?"
"Just dodge like you did during the match."
"Is that...controllable?"
"Anyway! Starting tomorrow, we start special training."
"Yes, yes~ Then please take care of it."
"Okay~"
So, my 7-day special training began.
Day 1 -
"Senior, I have an appointment today.. "
"Since everything else is taken care of, all you have to do is practice a lot with me.^^"
" .. yes "
I hate practicing like crazy, but when I do, I do it right. Well... hey, it's because I'm with these people, but I'm actually number one in women's boxing at the World Championships!
So, I climbed into the ring with Seungcheol to practice. After skillfully putting on my gloves and headgear, I slowly prepared to step forward. Seungcheol seemed a little nervous, too. Well, I guess I was the only one who was hitting.
"It really hits hard."
" okay..! "
I slowly started to step forward, and soon Seungcheol also started to step forward.
Hook -
"Is it because I haven't used it lately? Why are your fists so slow?"
".. haha are you trying to provoke me?"
"No, it's a stimulus."
If you thought that stimulation would stimulate me..!
Yes, you really stimulated me.
After regaining my composure, I threw my fist at Seungcheol.
Seungcheol's point of view -
Swish -
"Oh.. Is this the real skill you're showing now?"
"That's right... Ha, I'm glad your skills haven't slowed down."
As I regained my composure, I felt a murderous look in the heroine's eyes and I cowered slightly. That would scare anyone. That's because I could feel tremendous confidence and murderous energy in her eyes, as if she was going to beat me to death.
So we flew around freely on the ring.
Back to the heroine's point of view -
"Ha.. Should I take a break?"
" okay..! "
We kept hitting, blocking, dodging, and repeating until we were drenched in sweat. It wasn't until evening that we finally decided to rest. We'd been building up our stamina, so we rarely got tired...^^
I went to the home base to get a drink and there was Bu. Seok. Soon.
"..what is it? why are you here?"
" yes..? "
"No... I came out to take a short break."
"Uh..yes, no, that's right"
"What.. why is everyone suddenly using formal language? LOL"
" ah.. "
" ah... "
" ah.... "
"Am I that scary? Haha"
"No.. He was talking to us with a blank expression, and for a moment I thought it was a wild lioness talking. No, it was just.. It was wild here just now."
"That's right. I'm a tiger, you're a horse, he's a rattlesnake. You're a wildcat."
"No... Are you saying that a tiger, a horse, and a red panda would be intimidated by that little lynx? Are you trying to become tiger food?"
"You don't know... It's the small things that are the scariest. Look at Lee Ji-hoon."
"Kwon Soon-young. Do you want to die?"
"Huh..!!"
Bu Seok-soon suddenly started using formal language towards me, saying things like "it was wild" or "it was scary," which was amusing, but also made me wonder if it was really that scary. When the topic of wild things came up, Sun-young, who said that small things are scary, told Ji-hoon to look at her and bowed fearlessly(?). Eventually, Ji-hoon, who was coming with Min-gyu, caught her, and Sun-young was genuinely shocked. Seriously... really seriously...
"Hey, are you practicing? I haven't seen you in a while."
"Oh, I..."
"Brother..haha look at this"
" Phew hahahahaha"
"So what... I'm practicing"
"What..g"
"Kang Yeo-ju!! Come quickly~!!"
"Yes!! I'm going!! "
When Seungcheol called me, I couldn't even say hello to Mingyu and ran straight to the boxing room.
Day 2 -
"Wow..this sandbag really brings back a lot of memories"
"The one who ruined your hand. Ugh..."
"No, really back then...// It was kind of like that..."
"But it looks good now, so it's okay~ Let's get started quickly."
" yes ~ "
So on the 3rd, 4th, 5th, and 6th days, even though Seungcheol-sunbae had a competition coming up soon, he would always come and look after me like my personal coach. I should buy him something delicious later because if I got first place, it would almost be thanks to Seungcheol-sunbae.
So it became D-1.
" after.. "
"Why? Are you shaking?"
"A little..? I always get nervous no matter what I do."
"Do as usual today and go early today. I know Kim Min-gyu said that, but he must be really upset right now."
" .. I know that"
So today, I finished practice a little early and went to the pool on purpose to wait for senior Min-gyu without telling him.
"Oh... one more"
While we were waiting, a whistle blew and we all went into the water one by one, as if we were practicing. Oh... Isn't that cool?
Then, senior Kim Min-gyu's name appeared on the scoreboard, and a person who was presumed to be senior(?) jumped into the water. Oh, so fast...
Beep -
"..? What? You're here already?"
Sure... We've only just set off, and we're already here...? Is that a person? Is that? Oh... Dogs are really good at swimming...
After a while -
"Oh... I guess it's over."
After practice, people went into the waiting room one by one, and I also went to the waiting room and waited for senior Min-gyu.
" .. when is it coming out.. "
at that time -
"..? The heroine?"
"Oh my... why are you coming out so late..!"
"Um...I'm sorry, but did you wait for me? "
"Is this my reward for waiting for you every day?"
"Hey let's go home"
" yes! "
So we went home.
"There you are, heroine."
"What is it?"
"No.. I thought it was really cool watching you practice.. You didn't pay any attention to anything else and just focused on practicing.. So I wasn't disappointed.. No, there wasn't anything.. No, there wasn't anything."
"Heh.. I'm sorry. I had so many thoughts about you in my head that I didn't even realize the match was almost over."
" .. because I have a lot on my mind..? Really..?"
"So, don't be upset~"
" .. my lady "
"Why again~? When you say that to me, I get so excited that I can't concentrate during the match."
".. No, I just love you.. "
" Heh me too~ "
Then I got a call from an unknown number, and when I answered the phone, I heard a familiar voice.
" hello. "
"..Come to the cafe we met at a while ago."
Thump -
"Who are you? Why does your expression look so bad?"
"That woman. The woman who abandoned me."
"What? Is this some kind of threat?"
"No. He told me to come to the cafe I saw before."
"Should I go with you? That would be better..j"
"No. Senior, go wash up first and sleep. It might take a while."
" .. why? "
"Why...?"
"I think I'm your boyfriend... but I don't think you are, so I'm not going because I'm worried that my girlfriend might get hurt because of that little nap. How can I not go? Why? Because I'm involved too."
" ..so that won't work."
" what..? "
"It can't be because it's related. That woman is someone who can immediately figure out what kind of person you are and what your weaknesses are. And I'm not a senior.I wish my boyfriend wouldn't talk to people I don't like. "
"My lady..."
"I'm a stronger woman than you think. I can't be swayed by that person's words. So, senior... no."
" ... "
"Brother, stay home and sleep well. I'll be there soon, so don't go to sleep otherwise. If I'm in danger, I can come out right away."
" .. okay "
"Heh.. When I get home and you're not sleeping, come out and comfort me."
" okay. "
"..smile. I like smiling seniors the best."
"Okay.. Okay"
" then. "
So I went to the cafe that the woman had mentioned.
" ... "
"Hmm... It took quite a while. Anyway, please take a seat."
"No. I have to tell you right away. Just tell me."
" .. Well, let's get to the point first. Give up on being first place in tomorrow's match."
" ..what?"
"Our company is also sending a boxer to the competition this time. So, give it up."
"No. Okay, I'll leave now."
"Do you think there will be anything good if you come out like that..?"
" ... "
I was about to ignore him because he kept talking nonsense.
"Kim Min-gyu. Is that kid going to be in danger?"
" ..!! "
"Haha.. That kid can't help but be nervous."
" .. It's me you want. But why do you keep picking on unrelated people..!!"
"Not related? Why?You like it"
"..because I like that person, that person is dangerous..?"
"Or you break up with Kim Min-gyu and you take first place. I think that would be better too. You take first place and he doesn't get hurt or in danger."
" .... "
"Anyway, think about it carefully."
I ignored those words and left the cafe. I was just... so sad that the tragic decision came so quickly. It was so sad that I couldn't even think about it.
House -
" ..you in the end"
No matter how sad I am, just seeing my senior's face brings a smile to my face. Was that why he was waiting? The TV was on, and I saw him sleeping on the sofa...
"Oh, I have to go out later.. Let's pack quickly."
So I quickly packed my bags.
After sleeping soundly -
".. only 30 minutes left.. "
" ... "
Swish -
"Why can't I choose? I can't let go of either of them, but why would I want to choose the path that's not dangerous for you? I know that would be sad."
" ... "
".. please help me.. "
Touch -
So I left the house with a large carrier.
After the heroine leaves -
"I'm going out later too... Wake me up and say hello before you go."
