Fighter~ Yang Jeongin

You were busy getting ready for the MMA match you were going to watch today, it was a pretty chilly night so you wore your warmest hoodie and a pair of jeans with some boots.

When you were done, you waited for your friend to come and pick you up. To be honest, you weren't really that excited to go, fighting was not something that interested you, whether it was a professional one or two drunks fighting on the sidewalk, you always turned around and left.

You weren't really sure why you agreed to go, maybe it's because you needed a change in your life. You have always wanted to try something new in your life, maybe this was it.

A knock on the door had interrupted you from your thoughts, you opened it and revealed your friend standing on the other side.

When you two arrived at the venue, you were surprised to see that it was a dark alleyway. You turn to look at your friend, hoping to get some answers.

"You're not gonna kill me here, right? I always thought you would take me to the forest or something. " you joked.

You're friend just chuckled. "There's a secret entrance in the alleyway. "

"Why do they need a secret entrance? " you asked. "I thought MMA fights took place at an arena. "

"This is not technically an MMA match. " he said, you gestured for him to explain further. "Basically, the junior MMA fighters come here to blow off some steam, on each other..."

"So this is like illegal fights happening here? "

"Essentially, yes it is. " he confessed.

"Alright, take me home. " you buckle up your seatbelt.

"What no! Please stay, it will be fun I promise. "

You thought about it for a little while. What was the worst that could happen? You won't get arrested because you didn't do anything wrong, and this was the change you were looking for.

You sighed after some time and nodded. "I'll go in, but only this one time! "

"Perfect. "

You both walked to the entrance of the alleyway, scooting closer to your friend you looked at the walls of the alleyway, you could smell the drugs and alcohol that people would've had when they were here. You swore you saw a bloodstain on the wall as well.

As you approached the back of the alleyway, on the wall to the right was a giant steel door, unnoticeable to the people who walk past the alleyway, it was a good hiding place.

Your friend knocks on the door, using some sort of secret knock pattern, the door opened slightly, enough for someone to slip through. You both walked in and the smell of weed immediately hit you, you chocked as you covered your nose with your sleeve.

"That's pretty intense. " Your friend mimicked your actions. You looked around and saw a small man standing at the door, he probably opened it. He had many scars on his face and his bald head was oddly misshapen.

He didn't say a word to the both of you but pointed to the run-down elevator straight ahead. You two took the elevator down since it was the only button there.

When the elevator stopped, the sounds of cheers and screams could be heard, when the doors opened, you were met with a more sloppy version of a fighting arena.

The area could seat maybe around one hundred people maximum, the seats surrounded a boxing rink that was splattered with a red substance which looked disturbingly like bloodstains.

"Let's go find a good seat. " your friend pulled you towards the middle row, it had a clear view of the rink. You sat down and looked around the area.

Half the seats were already taken, people were screaming and cheering at nothing, there was no fighting going on yet, in the far corner you saw people taking bets which disgusted you because gambling was a stupid thing.

"Do you know whose fighting? " you asked your friend.

"Apparently it's this dude who has never been defeated yet, he's kind of a huge deal here, I think he goes by the name I.N.," he says.

"I.N? " you can't help but feel like you saw that name somewhere. "What does he look like? "

"No one knows, he wears a mask. People think the only reason he wears it is because he is too young to be fighting but he really wants too. "

"That's, interesting? " you say, unsure of this I.N person.

The lights dimmed and you knew the match was starting, for some reason you had the urge to use the toilet, it was too much to handle.

"Hey, do you know where the restrooms are? "

"This is an illegal institute, you think they'll have restrooms here? " your friend replied.

"I really need to go. " you said.

"Uh, check over there. " he pointed at a doorway at the back of the arena.

You nodded and rushed to the doorway, pushing you way past people. You walked down the hallway and tried looking for any signs of a bathroom.

You found a door further down the hallway and thought you found what you were looking for so you pushed the door opened, but instead you were met with a sight you thought you would never unsee.

Reader's POV

I pushed the door opened and immediately regret what I saw.

"What are you doing here?! " screamed the voice of my former best friend and my school's biggest nerd, Yang Jeongin.

"I was looking for the restroom- " my eyes trailed down his naked torso, I blushed when I realised he was only wearing black supreme boxers.

"My eyes are up here! " he said harshly.

"S-Sorry. " I apologized. My eyes landed on a gym bag on the floor. Red boxing gloves were poking out of it, it didn't take me that long to realise what I was seeing.

"Y-you're I.N!" I said looking at him in disbelief.

He sighed and looked at me with his sharp eyes.

"You're the first person to figure it out. " he said.

"But, you're like- you're bullied at school, but you're undefeated here- " I was unable to comprehend what was happening.

"Glad you noticed I am bullied, thanks for your help. " he glared at me.

"Im sorry. I was afraid that if I interfered, I would- "

"Get hurt yourself? Wow, people really only think about them themselvese chuckled sarcastically, putting on his pants.

"That's not true! I try and help people in need! "

"Then I ask, when I was being bullied, punched and kicked, assaulted, where were you? "

"I- I walked away. " I looked down at my shoes.

"Thought so. "

"But you can defend yourself! Why play the victim in school when come coming and do illegal fights?! Why are you blaming me when you can defend yourself?! "

"Why do I need to explain myself to you?! I don't owe you any eanaination. " he turned around.

Suddenly, my urge to use the toilet disappeared, but I was angry.

"What gives you the right to yell at me for not helping me you when you can protect yourself?! You made me feel guilty for years! " I walked up to him and made him face me, our faces were so close together, I could feel his breath of my lips.

"You should feel guilty! Leaving me for those so called 'popular' people! " he put air quotes around 'popular'.

"I was trying to be nice to them, it's not my fault you can't make friends! Just because no one wants to be friends with you doesn't mean they don't want to be friends with me! It's not my fault you were weak!" I yelled back at him, immediately regretting the words I let slip out.

Jeongin took a step back and looked at me with an expressionless face.

"Jeongin I didn't mean- "

"Save it. " he grabbed a black mask and put it on, "I don't need fake people like you in my life. "

He walked out if the room, I followed him trying to find the words to say but I couldn't think of anything. I really screwed up. He walked out into the arena and I stood at the doorway and watched him.

"Ladies and Gentleman! Here is the man we've been waiting for! The Undefeated I.N! " the commentator screamed, his voice blasting across the whole arena.

"Daring to challenge him is the newcomer goes by the name of Destruction Monster! "

Throughout the whole match, Jeongin didn't punch his opponent a single time, he just dodged all the punched and kicks that were thrown at him.

I had to admit I was impressed with him, he didn't do much to tire his opponent, his technique was more defence than offence. It was a smart technique.

Destruction Monster had enough of Jeongin playing around with him, he threw a fast punch at Jeongin which caught him off guard and hit him in his jaw.

I winced as Jeongin's lips started to bleed. He touches the blood on his lip and smirked at his opponent, who was busy celebrating rather than watching him.

Jeongin came from behind him and put him in a chock hole, instantly knocking him out.

"Destruction Monster has been hit with the chock hole, he is out like a light! I.N remains the champion! "

Screams erupted front the crowd and Jeongin walked out of the rink and straight to me, pulling if his mask in front of everyone. Everyone gasped as they watched him, I backed into the wall, getting more scared as he

"Not so weak now am I? " he pulled me towards him and placed his lips on mine.

I was shocked at the sudden action, but melted into the kiss. His lips were soft but sticky from the blood that was still on it. Between the intense kiss and the sounds of the crowd cheering, I think this was the change I needed in my life.
