After The Lecture ~ Minsung

09 Appearances

'this university sharpens minds by day - but fists rule the night.'

"Look, Innie, if you want to knock him off, you have to hit here." Felix showed their new friend the most effective moves.

"It's not very good to use it tho" Jisung stepped into the ring. "They pay more if you make the fight effective, long, and pleasing to watch. This move is something you do when you're scared of your life."

"Aren't you scared of your life during all fights?"

"Yeah, but it's for situations with  increased risk of loosing consciousness."

"Got it." Jeongin tried to block the fist flying towards him.

They sat at the edge of the rink, completely sweaty.

"Isn't going to the gym enough for you, Ji? You have to also train with us?"

"I go to the gym on weekdays. It's Saturday now, all I have to do today is pick up Hoon"

"You know that I can do it, right?"

"I told you, if we want him on our side, we should get along."

"You volunteered for this task, you don't have to do it if you don't want to."

"I want. Learning new skills may be helpful. And I prefer to neutralize the danger myself."

"Is it my favorite lecturer?" Jisung walked into the gym on Monday afternoon, looking at Minho, who was already working out.

"Finally something other than 'hi, Minho hyung.'"

"If you miss it, I can say it."

"Not a bit. I didn't expect to see you there today."

"Why? Because my best friend is having a fight? A normal day like many others"

"Sure," Minho rolled his eyes, because illegal fights were a casual hobby to do.

"Did you think about my offer?"

"Yes. I won't go to the next fight?"

"What?" Jisung honestly wasn't expecting this answer "I thought you liked my fight. Or you liked it because it was mine." He had a smirk plastered to his face.

"I was seeing what I got myself into by becoming your lecturer. That's all. There's no need for you to make it so inappropriate again."

"Boooring." He hung from the machine, playing like a kid. "You're really not curious how Felix fights?"

"I shouldn't go to your fight too, going to another would be an even bigger mistake."

"If you say so. Remember, if you change your mind, my offer is still up." He put on his headphones with that goddamn smirk Minho hated. At least that was what he was saying to himself.

📖

Minho didn't come to Felix's fight. It was true to say that Jisung was disappointed, but he could do nothing about it. His plan to get close to their lecturer became harder than he expected.

"Are you sure you can do it? You don't look great, Lix." Hyunjin was holding his arm worriedly.

"You always say this. I look fragile and other stuff. You know fucking well it's my advantage. That's why I always win." He answered with a fierce expression on his face. 

"That guy is like two times bigger than you."

"I have dealt with worse ones." Felix shrugged, tying up his hair and putting on the bandages.
