Chapter 3 - 2seok

The next day..

It's finally the moment..

It's my free period!

Actually it's my library period, but I was told that no one really cares if you went there or not.

Namjoon told me a lot yesterday about the school. He said that he was busy at that time in school because he didn't finish his assignment and apologised to me.

He told me about how school works.. This school has two kinds of pupils..

One, who are normal rich kids who aren't responsible to get all the ranks.

The second group is called 'Einsteins'. The title describes them all. They are the students who are kept in a pressure cooker called ranks and boiled till the end of their schooling.

Their parents pay extra for them. Poor them.

They can't even have a sports period or a break. They must study and study... Thank god Namjoon isn't one of them..

The first period ended and I cam go to boxing class now. I changed into my sports dress and I walked towards the boxing class.

I opened the door to see Jikyo kicking the punching bag. Is she a boxer too?

"Huh? Are you here to join in boxing classes?", a man in his 20's with a heart shaped smile, walked towards me.

His fist came close to my face in the form of a punch. What the hell?!

"Oh! You didn't flinch or closed your eyes! YOU ARE IN!", he pulled me into the boxing ring by my wrist.

"Isn't it amazing? You got a boxing mate! You must be tired of training with only me,Kyo", he spoke to Jikyo.

"What's your name?", he asked me, "And when did you started training?"

"Kim seokjin and from 10 years", I told him.

"Wow.. That is the reason you can keep your eyes open for a kick! Let's get you warmed up then", he spoke, "Run ten laps around the room and come to me. I'll make you do stretches", he spoke,"Kyo...Join him!", he shouted with full of energy.

She sighed and started running and I followed her. Ten rounds are really tiring.

I sat on the floor, trying to control my uncontrollable breaths.

"Tired already?", He spoke and gave me a water bottle.

"Sir.. That's.."

"Sir?!", he laughed his butt off and spoke, "Call me Hobi. I'm not that old".

Hobi..okay!

"Drink your water first", he spoke and I remembered that I have a bottle in my hand. I drank the water.

"You have low stamina.. Don't worry. You will improve in no time. You are in the expert's hand now", he laughed, "Wow! It is embarrassing to praise myself.. But they are facts!", he laughed again out of embarrassment.

I felt second hand embarrassment for him.

"Alright! It's time for stretches!", he stood and clapped.

I stood up and he started training me stretches.. I did them in competition with Jikyo.. She is flexible too, but I'm more flexible.

"Woah! You are flexible!", he laughed again. Laughing is his mannerism, anyone who see him talk for a minute can say that. He is talkative too..

"Now... Let's train your concentration. Both of you do meditation", he spoke and we meditated for some time.

"That's enough for now. Go and fresh up and go for your lunch. Let's meet at 4PM again", he spoke.

I freshed up and walked out with uniform. It's so refreshing!

"Hey you ugly nerd! Give me your assignment when I'm asking nicely", I heard some voice at the staircase on my way to canteen.

Some guys are surrounded around Namjoon and he held his head low. Are they bullying him?

"You guys! What are you doing?", I walked towards them.

"Who are you?", they asked me.

"Are you harrasing Namjoon?", I stood beside Joon, facing them.

"Are you his Knight in the shining armour?", one of them, probably leader of this little gang, laughed wickedly.

He pushed his fist towards me. I dodged that, but he lost his balance and ran to the wall made of glass. Damn, that will be a suicide attempt.

I grabbed him by his tie and pulled him, but he again lost his balance and almost fell off the stairs.

I pulled him by his hair, because that's the only thing I can grab at that second. He screamed in pain and they looked horrified at me.

The gang ran away.

I asked him, "are you getting bullied?"

"I don't want your pity", he spat and started walking to cafeteria.

"Why would I pity you? You are my friend!", I followed him.

"I don't want to be your friend", he spoke.

"Why?"

"I don't want to drag you down with me"

"Drag me down? In what way?"

"I'm in the bottom of the food chain here. The easiest target for everyone. Just a nerd with no money"

"I don't think so. I can see that you are intelligent and a bit sassy when you can be. I just met you yesterday, but I can say that I want to be your friend. Don't you want me as your friend?"

"But..They will not leave you alone "

I laughed. "They can't to anything to me. But it's not about them! Tell me, don't you want me as your friend?"

"... Alright. Don't complain later", he smiled showing his dimples.

I find dimples beautiful. No homo.

We are already at cafeteria then.

"I joined boxing class today!", I told him.

"Really!? Is Jikyo there?"

"Yes", I 'tch'ed. "Do you have a crush on her?"

"W-what makes you think so?", he looked flustered.

"You are too obvious man", I laughed at him and he pouted.

"Don't mock me", he glared at me.

"Our little Joonie has a crush on the boxing girl!", I cooed.

"Isn't she so cool? She is the only one who joined boxing class before you. Our school got many trophies because of her. She is so intelligent too..!", he kept on rambling about her.

He is head over heels for her.
