I just kept running while a group of men in their late twenties chased me. No matter where I turned or looked, I could see them just scattered around me, so I couldn't get out of that place right away. It wasn't easy, but I still didn't stop because I was their only hope. I tried to lead them away, and I ran even faster as I entered a room to hide and immediately closed the door. I was panting and leaning against the back door as I was sweating profusely from nervousness. Furthermore, I heard the footsteps of their shoes where they were now heading to where I was. As they got closer to me, the nervousness in my chest grew stronger, but after a while the noise I heard from outside disappeared when they passed the room where I was. It was only then that I breathed a sigh of relief as I looked all around me, where I was stunned to notice that there were several patients in that room. I immediately approached them and watched their pale faces. They were in their fifties and looked like th
I have no money, I have nothing with me but myself. But I can't go back to us empty-handed, so I thought of another way to solve my problem. Even though I was walking there, my attention was aroused by the chaos that was happening there. It appears that there are people fighting there but no one has the courage to stop them, instead they seem to be enjoying themselves. “What are they doing?” I whispered to myself. I temporarily stopped walking as I looked at the two men who were now fighting with only their fists. “Alright, knock him down!” I heard a man shout from behind me. I was surprised to turn around where they had wide smile lines on their lips and seemed to be enjoying what they were watching. Until his opponent fell to the floor and was bathed in his own blood, but no one tried to help him, instead they screamed loudly and seemed to be celebrating his defeat. In addition to that, I noticed that they were exchanging money with each other as if they had made a bet between the t
“It's clear what we mutually agreed on, and all you have to do is take him down.” He said to me where he turned his gaze to the man he was referring to me. I looked around where I noticed that people seemed to be leaving. But they can't leave because they have to watch the reckoning between the two of us, and they have to bet on which of the two of us will be the last man standing until the end. He seemed to notice that I was doubting, so he immediately let go of my hand, causing me to turn my gaze to him. Unexpectedly, he suddenly screamed as if he was calling everyone's attention. “It's not over yet because I'm challenging Rocky for a second fight.” When they heard what he said, they all stopped and turned to him with a look of surprise on their faces, even my competitor Rocky also turned to look at him. To our left, our attention was drawn to a mysterious man who was giggling as he walked closer to where we were, and then he stopped in front of him. He looked at him from head to to
Many are trying to volunteer to fight Rocky, and the reason it all has to do with his ring. But I can't allow that thing to go to someone else because I need it more, and that's why I also raised my right hand, and they all turned to me. “I can prove to all of you that I can knock him out in just one round.” What I said silenced them all as they looked at me in wonder. But that silence was also broken when they all burst into laughter with a trace of mockery on their faces. None of them seemed to believe me, even he just shook his head with a mischievous smile on the corner of his lips. I stepped closer to him, and then I stopped in front of him while he looked at me up and down. “This ring can only be yours if you can prove everything you told me.” That's what he said to me, and then he dropped his ring in the box. I turned around and observed the expression on the faces of the people around me, where their eyes and attention were focused only in one direction, on the box. I clenched
This time it was me who attacked him. Using my whole body, I pushed him with all my strength until I knocked him to the ground, causing them all to scream. Then I came over to him, and then I looked him deep in the eyes. I raised my right hand that was shaking with mixed emotions, and then I dropped it hard on his cheek, but it just didn't matter to him, and he even managed to laugh as if he were insulting me even more because of that, the nervousness that I felt earlier was disappeared, and it has been replaced by intense annoyance. Where I can no longer count the number of times I have dropped my fist on his face just because I was stunned by him, my facial expression was blank as if I were thinking deeply. His nose almost bled, and his blood splashed on my face, but I didn't care because in those moments I felt like I was on another planet. While I was repeatedly punching him, a man suddenly came to where we were and unexpectedly, he intervened in the fight between the two of us. H
The strange man stood up to where I was as he dragged one of his legs and looked at me intently. I folded my fists as I looked at him without blinking an eye. I prepared myself for the battle between the two of us, but unexpectedly he just passed in front of me as if I were just a tree standing on one side of him. What is that? Why did he ignore me, and why didn't he challenge me to fight with him? Does he underestimate my ability? I whispered from my mind with a hint of annoyance on my face. That's why I turned to him and called him. “Hey! Where are you going? Can't you see me? Are you blind?” I said while grinning to show them that I'm brave, but in truth I'm confused, and I felt like he stepped on my pride. that's why I didn't let him leave. He slowly turned to me with a blank expression on his face. I lifted my chin a little to show him that I'm not afraid of him, but he just smirked which surprised me. What is that? Is that his response to me? in that case, he thinks that I am an
He stood up, and then he stepped closer to me, at the same time, he stopped in front of me where he held my hand and placed his ring in my palm. I slowly looked up at him with a look of wonder on my face. “I'm the man who doesn't back down on his word. So, just think that I'm gifting this to you.” He said to me. Although there is a mischievous smile on his lips, I can feel from the tone of his voice that he is sincere in what he says. However, I still didn't accept it because I knew I didn't deserve that ring, and I wasn't the winner of the fight, so I gave it back to him and put it in his pocket, which made him look up to me with a trace of curiosity on his face. “What do you think you're doing? Didn't you hear what I said earlier?” this time his facial expression changed where he became serious as well as his voice. Maybe he feels frustrated with me, but I would rather not accept something that I know is not for me. I want to be fair and if I would like to get that ring in the right
“Why are you staring at me like that?” he stammered to me, whereupon I immediately looked away from him and pretended to cough while he looked at me curiously. He didn't seem to care about that, and it didn't seem like he noticed me, so he just acted normal even though I still can't forget that short moment that even though it was only more than ten seconds ago, I still can't get his pretty eyes words out of my mind. What are you doing, Ck? What is happening to you, and why are you suddenly nervous in front of him? Don't say that you have special regard for him? But it's not possible because he's a man— I looked in Van's direction for a moment where he happened to look at me, but I immediately turned my back on him. He frowned and then shook his head as if he were wondering about my actions. Did he see me, or did he notice that I was staring at him? I whispered from my mind where my nervousness intensified as I bit the nail on my index finger. I slowly looked around me where I turned
