It was time for the competition, I was nervous as I could be, one of Mujin's men, Taeju, had waved his hand for us to fight.
I was brought to being punched in the face, I tasted my blood as I kicked and punched wherever I could from being lifted up.
A lot of people were already being out and knocked, I noticed Jiwoo being choked and instantly ran to her punching the guy in the face.
"You got this." I spoke, she nodded as we both walked away to different opponents.
Less people started to appear as I got attacked.
I grunted as I tried pushing and punching him off, I defended my face while he was distracted I lifted up and pulled myself onto him punching his temples. I quickly stood up stomping on his genitals.
Knocked out.
Then there were three.
Gangjae, Jiwoo, and Me.
I had seated down for a break in the corner as Jiwoo was stuck on the ground with a guy on top of her. I felt like I could barley move, I wiped my bloody nose as people were cheering, thats when it's stopped when I got up.
"Ah..the rookie." Gangjae spoke, I looked at Jiwoo still struggling.
"You shouldn't even be here, you're a girl."
"Just say you're jealous of me already." I smiled, I took the first hit when he was distracted.
I was pushed into the fence as I was dragged into chains, I pushed off making me stumble onto him.
Punching and punching was tiring when I had pulled him up.
"CRUSH HER!"
I kicked and kicked.
He bottled me to the ground tossing me while kicking me in my stomach, we tossed and turned into a bloody mess when I had tried getting a chance to punch him I was already down.
Jiwoo had finally got up, now Gangjae had to fight her.
"Let's get this done." Jiwoo spoke.
"Damn.." Gangjae smiled.
They both charged at each other, everyone was cheering loudly; as loud as they could at this point.
Jiwoo was being dragged while trying to get up, Gangjae did the same technique with the chains. Jiwoo strongly got out of the position and tossed him down.
They tossed, punched, and kicked to each other's abilities.
"Just loose already!" Gangjae shouted.
"In your dreams!!" Jiwoo shouted back as she punched him in the face as hard as she could.
Mujin had walked over grabbing Jiwoo's wrist and putting it up.
"Dongcheon!" "Dongcheon!"
Everyone cheered.

Jiwoo had went to go take a shower as I rested on a near by bench in the gym, I winched a when I went to touch my nose.
"Myeong!"
I rose my head in Jiwoo's direction with her voice.
"You okay?!" Jiwoo shouted.
"Yeah, why?!" I shouted back.
"No reason!"
Seeing someone in the distance walking towards me made me scoot back, I instantly stand up as they became closer, Gangjae?
"Hey loser." He winked
I rolled my eyes at him as he became inches away from my face, why so close? There was so much tension between us.
"What do you want?"
"Just came to say hi." Gangjae replied grabbing my chin and whispering into my ear,"And that I'll see you tonight."
Gangjae let me go and walked away from the area, god...why did he seem so hot during that?
Stop thinking that Myeong, there's something wrong with this. He said he was going to see me tonight, fuck what does he mean by that?
Seconds later she comes out, I stepped out of my thoughts, we both walked into her room as she went to drink her water.
"Lemme get some."
"Come on you have your own."
"Pleaseee." I begged, "Fine."
I chugged the rest of her water at this point, it tasted a bit weird. Jiwoo sat down holding her head.
"You okay?"
"Yeah, my head just...hurts."
Mine felt the same, my vision had faded to black.

Snapping back to reality I was laying down on Jiwoo's bed as I looked around, Gangjae was beside me gripping onto my wrist as his friend was on top of Jiwoo.
"Fuck! Jiwoo!!" I shouted, I kicked her legs to make her wake up.
She shook awake but dizzy at the most.
"Yah, she's stubborn. Stay still." His friend chuckled while taking her jacket off.
"Gangjae please, please! Leave her alone." I begged, "No thanks, I told you I'd see you tonight so here we are."
I tried to get his hand off of me but he wouldn't budge, Jiwoo had kicked Gangjae's friend off into the wall causing father's ashes to fall to the ground.
"I'll fucking kill you, I'll kill you both." Jiwoo mumbled.
"Get off me Gangjae." I spoke.
He gave me no reply as I punched him in his nose, Jiwoo had stabbed his friend in his dick as he screamed and cried for help.
Rarely having strength Jiwoo had helped me run out of the room. Gangjae was furious, he quickly ran out holding a hammer in his hand.
Jiwoo had stopped walking and held onto me looking for help, Gangjae had attacked me from behind holding a hammer close to my face as I grabbed a sharp object and stabbed him from the side.
"Fuck..you." Gangjae mumbled.
"Look who's..loosing now." I gasped.
Choi Mujin's men came running into the gym taking away Gangjae from our faces.
"Shit..are you okay?" Jiwoo spoke helping me up.
"Yeah, are you?"
"I'm fine." She replied patting my back out of breath.
~
"Face, arm, leg. Which one?" Choi Mujin began, "I'll only mangle one." He added sharpening a sword.
Gangjae looks towards Taeju, no emotion comes out of him looking helpless.
Gangjae goes down onto his knees apologizing.
"It was a mistake."
"That's why...I won't kill you." Mujin replied putting away the sword, "Choose."
"Are you abandoning me?" Gangjae chuckled, "You said I was useful."
"That's unfortunate." Mujin then walks towards Gangjae. "It was something Jiwoo and Myeong had to go through atleast once."
"But I didn't know." He then squats down to Gangjaes height, "It was going to be you."
"Please forgive me." Gangjae begged, "All I did was beat some bitch up a little!"
That made Choi Mujin even aggravated causing him to choke up Gangjae, "I brought them personally, You shouldn't have messed around."
Gangjae was then tossed to the ground while Mujin walks towards Taeju, "Which will it be?"
"I'll decide." He smiles while walking towards Gangjae with his own knife.
"Please. No. Please no." "Please don't!"
Bloody screams came from Gangjae's mouth covering the left side of his face, rage was filling the room. Of disgust.
~
Me and Jiwoo walked out of her room as we noticed Taeju standing there waiting.
"If you both are done crying, you can leave." He began, "Because of you, I lost a valued subordinate."
"This is your last chance, your chance to stop acting foolish." He added.
"We're not going anywhere." Jiwoo began
"I served Donghoon, very closely." Taeju looked down, "He didn't belong in a crime ring. Same goes for you two, stop it now."
"It's too late to stop."
