Thankfully, that was the end of that discussion as the kids were drooling at the sight of food and helped themselves up. I was walking out of the washroom when Jungkook pulled me to the side. "What is it Jeon? Confessing?" I grinned, twirling a lock of my hair.

"Get over yourself Manoban." He rolls his eyes. "I want to know if you're watching the game later."

My brows quirked up at the question, tilting my head at him as he stares at me for an answer. "Why? What are you planning? Public confession when you win?"

"I want to know so I can keep an eye on you, and no! Not because I want you to be there for inspiration or whatever it is your delusional mind comes up with. Muho might do something stupid, I wouldn't put it past him to do some dirty tricks again." I smirked, sliding a palm on his chest "Awee, you're concerned."

He glares at me, "Lisa, I'm serious." He is, alright, with him calling me by my name.

"He can't do something to me, I can handle myself and besides, chaeng and hyejin's tagging along." He nods, shoulders relaxing. I cross my arms as my eyes softened. "Hey, stop thinking about it and focus on your game. End him once and for all or I will do the honors." he scoffs but nods. We went back to the table and saw the kids already finished eating.

"Where did you two go? Quickie?" Hyejin gave me a look and Chaeyoung slapped her arm, looking if any of the kids heard it. I ignored her question as we headed out to go home for a quick rest before going back to the venue to watch Jungkook's game.

"Where's your friends?" is his greeting to me as soon as he saw me.

"Chae had to take care of her requirements for her internship the next school year and hwasa's probably with DK." I shrugged and he sighs, looking around.

"You look like you're in a thriller movie." I snorted, observing how alert he looks.

"Come on." He ignores me, and grabbed my hand, pulling me to where the kids are. "stick to my brother and his friends." I wanted to snicker and give sarcastic remarks but observed his body language and decided against it. "I will. Now go before you change your mind about competing." I roll my eyes as the kids surrounded him, giving him massages and wiping his face even if he's not yet sweating.

"HYUNG FIGHTINGG!!" They cheered as he jogs to the mat.

"Noona, do you have a gift for hyung?" Junghwan poked my arm and I furrowed my brows at him. "Wow, you're that confident with your brother?"

He nods proudly, "I am! but it's not for him winning. His birthday is tomorrow. It'll be a perfect time to confess." I scowled and he rolls his eyes at me! My jaw dropped. "Ya! Where did you learn to roll your eyes like that?"

"From you" He grins and I shrugged, touche. The game is starting and I see Muho walking in and watching the game. His game is done? That was quick. Junghwan and his friends suddenly stood up and angrily shouts protests "THAT WAS CLEARLY A FOUL!" I turned my attention back to the game and see Jungkook wince as he got up from being bent over. 

"What happened?" I ask as I watch the referee walk up to him, asking if he's alright. "He punched hyung and when hyung blocks it he knees him below the belt" Junghwan frowns as he recalls to me what they saw. Even I winced. It must've hurt if it was direct to his groin.

A shrill of the whistle breaks into the court as Jungkook is declared as the Winner. We hurried down to go check on him as he sits on the bench. "Hey, You ok?" He turned to me and huffs, glaring at something. "I told you he plays dirty." I followed his gaze where his previous opponent is giving a subtle nod to Muho's direction as he went out.

"Hyung, are you alright? Can you still play?" Junghwan worriedly looked at his brother, handing him a bottled water which he accepts with a thanks. "I'm fine. I can still play."

"Don't force yourself." I muttered and his eyes went to me, "Concerned, Manoban?"

"I'm just saying, it's the future of your generation we're talking about anyway." I nodded, my eye towards his crotch. He leans back, manspreading and smirk on his face. "We can test it out later."

"You wish! Let's go kids!" I walked back to our seat followed by the children, they look like my ducklings, following me in a single line.

"Ooh this is gonna be legendary!" Yoshi beams as Muho walks up to the mat, stretching while Junkyu yawns, looking comfy in his hoodie.

"This will be the longest 6 mins ever! I can already feel the tension." Jaehyuk comments, an arm around Asahi who just sat quietly. Oh if you only know kid.

"Where's Sukkie hyung? They're gonna miss it." Jihoon cutely whines.

"I'll record it for them." Jeongwoo pulls out his phone, ready to film. I feel my heartbeat race as Jungkook and Muho stood face to face. It wasn't long as the first round starts and Jaehyuk was right.  The match having three rounds, two minutes each. Sounds short, but the first round already feels so damn long. They're being cautious around each other, carefully assessing where to hit and when.

"Aisssh.. Noona, I'm just going to pee." Junghwan excuses himself, bolting out, followed by Doyoung. Jungkook's not focusing, he keeps on glancing over to us. He managed to hit a combo for the first round, but Muho also managed to hit him.

The second round is about to begin but Junghwan's still not back. I pursed my lips and went out to look for Junghwan. I ran to the rest room and sighed in relief as Junghwan and Doyoung came out making me stop on my tracks. "Ya, ppali!" I called them over. They smiled and waved over to me but they suddenly sprinted towards me yelling "NOONA!" I turned around in instinct but I was too late. A sack covered my head, stopping by my mid section and I felt myself being thrown over the shoulder. I screamed and kicked but this guy's built is like of a WWE wrestler. Damn it! Where's the guards? There's not much people loitering outside as well as they are all indoors, watching the games.

Shit. Jungkook! The time is ticking! I stopped thrashing when I felt the body sway along with Junghwan, Haruto and Hyunsuk's war cry. The other kids have arrived. "LET GO OF LALI NOONAAA" I braced  myself when I feel my body going down with the body carrying me. I quickly removed the sack covering me as soon as I was free from the hold to see Hyunsuk, Junghwan, Doyoung, Mashiho and Yedam struggling to pin the guy down. He's that huge ok!

"Kids! On the count of three." They looked at each other and then looked at me. "RUN!" I pulled Junghwan as we sprinted back to the court with the guy chasing us.
