Player 53

"I warned you, didn't I?" I clenched my fists hard as I try to focus, but I can't help glancing to where Lisa is. Junghwan's not back yet.

"If something happens to my brother again-" I blocked his side kick and hit him with a high kick  "I won't think twice to stop your dirty tricks for good, I'll make sure you'll be banned from playing  ever again." He scoffs, looking past me and smirks. "You sure about that?"

Is he bluffing? I need to turn my head so I can see where Lisa and Junghwan are sitting. I held my ground and focused on him. I tried to travel so we can change position again, but he's not letting me so I decided to attack with series of kicks which he managed to block but with this, I was able to turn us around so I can look at where Lisa is seated. My jaw clenched when I still don't see my brother and now Lisa's not on her seat.

I got distracted as it felt like dejavu. A strong kick landed on my jaw, making me stumble and almost fall bringing me back to my senses. I tried to focus as I curled my fists hard. "Now be a good boy, and stop dodging." Muho smirks at me and I hear the buzz of the crowd. Should I forfeit?

"Don't do anything, don't move, don't block and I won't do anything to your brother and your precious doll." my fists clenched tighter. "She's not a doll! Let her hear you say that and you'll get a good beating."

He snorts, "Oh but she is, her doll-like features must be contorted into a fright by now as my boys play with her." My blood ran cold and I froze. "Now let's end this quick and end her misery shall we?" I'm going to kill him! 

He must've felt my murderous intent when he eyes me uneasily. "Ah, your brother will be watching what they do to her." I lost my composure and dropped my hands in surrender, letting him hit me.

"JUNGKOOK HYUNGGG!! WHAT ARE YOU DOING FIGHT BACK!" I hear my brother's friends yell as I let Muho land points on me. The second round ended with Muho surely accumulating more points.

"Dude, what's wrong? Why are you just letting him hit you?" Dokyeom asked as he hands me my water which I gladly accepted, scanning the crowd frantically.

"hyung are you ok?"

"hyung does it hurt somewhere?"

"hyung, you can have my banana milk, but I drank half of it already..." Jaehyuk offered me his half-filled bottle of Banana Milk.

"Where's your noona?" I ask the kids as they came up to me.

"Noona? she went to fetch dobby and hwannie. Why hyung?? Is something wrong?" I contemplated whether I should tell them but the whistle blew, indicating for the last round to start. They were about to go back to their seats when I held Jihoon's arm. "Please find them." His round boba eyes looked at me with confusion but nods and motioned his friends out of the court who wordlessly followed him.

"Kook, what's going on?" Dokyeom asks but I had no time to talk so I told him I'll fill him in after the game.

🥋🥋🥋

I can see the door! We were almost there when I heard Haruto's dolphin scream and more screams followed. "What the-" I turned to see more men came to chase us and was able to grab the kids. I immediately pulled Junghwan behind me knowing he's the target but he stepped up instead and prepared his defensive stance. He's ready to fight!

The door suddenly opened and out came the other kids. "Noona!" Oh thank God!

We have no time for this! I pulled Junghwan but he's being stubborn. "Junghwan-ah we have no time for this! Your brother needs to see you or he'll badly lose to that stupid cheater!" He finally budged, but a confused expression on his face. "What do you mean noona?"

"No time. I'll explain after the game. Jihoon-ah?" Jihoon nodded.

"Let go of hyusukkie!!" and all I heard were war cries and grunts. I just hope the kids will come out of it unscathed.

We ran towards the bleachers  but I caught sight of Jungkook getting beaten up. What is he doing!? 

🥋🥋🥋

"YA! GET YOUR SHIT TOGETHER DUMBASS!" My head snapped up to that voice. Where is she? I don't see her. Am I hearing things?

"HYUNG!" Muho was as distracted as I was. There they are, safe and sound.

"WIN IT!" They yelled together.

"Why are they here?" I hear Muho hiss as I straightened up. He had gathered a lot of points already for the times I let him be. The only thing that I can win is if...

I breathed in, and stood in stance with my right foot back, "This is for my brother." He finally puts his focus back to me but too late. I hit his side with a right kick, making him crouch from the impact. "This is for Lisa." I hit his head with a round kick. "And this is for me." I finished it off with a perfect 360, completely knocking him off. 

I breathed hard.

1.. 2.. 3.. and the whistle blows with the referee declaring me as a winner as my opponent can no longer fight back as he's knocked out. Well, that was anticlimactic.

I looked up at the ceiling, finally it's over. I got tackled to the ground and I groaned. "Hyung!! That was soo cool!!" I looked at my brother who's on top of me, grinning widely.

"Ya! what took you so long to put him in his place? If it were me, he wouldn't even be able to get a hit on me." My eyes darted to Lisa who flipped her hair, crossing her arms. I snickered, I shouldn't have worried. Of course she'll be fine.

"What are you staring at?" she squirms with my gaze and I sat up. "Thank you."

"Whatever." she looks away but I see her cheeks flush in color.

"Noona, what do you mean earlier? That hyung will lose to a cheater if he won't see me?" My eyes widened and she gasps, clapping her hand once in a loud smack. "The kids!" and ran off. I was about to follow her when a hand stopped me from going and pulled me back down.

"Hyung, tell me the truth. What did she mean?" I got startled at how firm he sounded, I looked at my brother's features. For a second, he looked so grown and I wondered when he grew up that much? I heaved a sigh and told him everything.

He was silent the whole time and when I was done he suddenly stood up.  I scrambled up after him when he gave me a proper bow. "Sorry hyung, and thank you. I still have a long way to go but I have grown up so from now on, you can rely on me and not keep the burdens to yourself."

I opened my arms wide and he grins, running over to give me a bone crushing hug. "You're right, you've grown." I mumbled, ruffling his hair.

Dokyeom jogged up to me after assisting the paramedic with Muho. I told him about what happened on our way out only to be greeted with Lisa talking to the police with the kids looking disheveled as some men were escorted out. What in the world? Lisa glanced over to me and winked.
