Chapter 3 - ARRIVAL

The news of Yumin and Sang-hyun's match sent waves of disbelief, shock, and excitement throughout the world. An unprecedented spectacle was set to unfold, a collision of two worlds, of strength and grace, and the public was abuzz with anticipation and a myriad of emotions. It wasn't something anyone had expected, and the news swept across continents, leaving a trail of curiosity and confusion in its wake.

The purists, the hardcore boxing enthusiasts who revered the sport and its traditional norms, found the prospect of a male boxing champion fighting a ballerina distasteful.

The notion of a celebrated ballerina stepping into the ring with a world champion boxer was preposterous. The sacred ring, in their eyes, was being tainted by the intrusion of an outsider, a delicate ballerina, no less.

They argued that the sacred art of boxing was being tainted by this spectacle, that it would reduce the prestige of the sport into nothing more than a publicity stunt, and it woud be almost disrespectful to the sport they held so dear. They scoffed at the idea, dismissing it as a circus show, a performance more suited to a theatre than a boxing ring.

Yet, there were those who were intrigued by the unprecedented nature of the event. The sheer absurdity of it was a form of allure in itself. The dramatic contrast between the brutish, masculine world of boxing and the graceful, feminine realm of ballet was a captivating narrative.

They were intrigued by the spectacle it promised, drawn in by the allure of the unusual and the unexplored. The talk of the unique rules added an extra layer of intrigue. They wondered what a fight between these two extraordinarily different individuals would look like.

Meanwhile, the world of dance was equally divided. Many purists were outraged that Yumin would involve herself in such a violent sport. They saw it as a betrayal of the art form they cherished. But there were also those who admired Yumin for her courage and audacity. She was pushing boundaries, exploring new avenues, and challenging stereotypes.

Women's rights groups saw this as an opportunity to break the stereotypical gender norms. They hailed Yumin as a beacon of women's strength and resilience, willing to challenge a man in what was traditionally a male-dominated sport. For them, Yumin was more than just a dancer, she was a symbol of defiance, challenging societal norms and breaking barriers.

This was not just another match, it was a spectacle, a once-in-a-lifetime event that was sure to keep everyone on the edge of their seats.

The media, of course, were in a frenzy. The buzz surrounding the event was a gold mine for news outlets and bloggers. The story had all the ingredients for a media feast - sport, arts, gender, power, beauty, and a hint of sexual tension.

In the end, the world watched beautiful ballerina and invincible boxer with bated breath. Whether in fervent anticipation or scornful objection, everyone had their eyes firmly fixed on the upcoming boxing match between the ballerina and the boxer.

Everyone was eager to see what would happen when Yumin, the graceful ballerina, stepped into the ring with Sang-hyun, the invincible champion. This was more than a boxing match; it was a spectacle that promised to challenge societal norms and expectations, and no one wanted to miss it. The prospect of witnessing this unprecedented event had sparked a wave of excitement that spread rapidly, reaching its peak as the day of the press conference finally arrived.

Anticipation was palpable in the air. Reporters and photographers crowded the event, their cameras flashing incessantly. Sang-hyun arrived punctually, dressed in a sharp suit, his demeanor composed and ready for the onslaught of questions. He greeted everyone with a courteous nod and patiently waited for his opponent to arrive.

The press conference had already been running for an hour, yet there was no sign of Yumin. Anxiety was a foreign sensation to Sang-hyun, who was accustomed to confidence and control, yet he found it creeping in as the minutes ticked by.

He glanced at his watch for the umpteenth time, his mind reeling with possibilities. Had she changed her mind? Was this all just a ploy, a twisted game to humiliate him? He swallowed hard, trying to push away the nagging thoughts.

A murmur ran through the crowd, whispering words like 'backed out' and 'no show'. Sang-hyun frowned, a bead of sweat trickling down the back of his neck. He felt the weight of the eyes on him, scrutinizing, questioning. He couldn't help but feel a certain vulnerability, one he was unaccustomed to.

The fact that Yumin was capable of stirring such uncertainty in him was a testament to her power. He was the invincible champion, the Fearless Destroyer, yet he found himself nervously awaiting the arrival of a ballerina. The irony wasn't lost on him.

Finally, he began to entertain the idea of her not showing up at all. Sang-hyun took a deep breath, steeling himself. He was about to address the crowd, to salvage what he could from this situation, when the buzz in the room shifted. All heads turned towards the entrance, and a hush fell over the crowd.

The sight of her instantly drowned out the clamor in his head. The nervous energy that had filled him moments ago seemed to fade away, replaced by an intense focus on the woman who had managed to captivate an entire room.

Yumin didn't just arrive - she made an entrance. The doors to the conference hall swept open and there she was, an exquisite vision bathed in the soft glow of the entrance lights. A hush fell over the room as everyone turned to look at her, their eyes wide with surprise, admiration, and a hint of shock.

She was dressed in a crimson dress that clung to her like a second skin, accentuating her curvaceous figure and a thigh-high slit highlighting her long, toned legs. The plunging neckline showcased her ample cleavage, a daring show of skin that made several in the room blush. Her dress sparkled under the stage lights, turning her into an enchantress bathed in stars.

Her makeup was flawlessly done, with a dark red lipstick that matched her dress, drawing attention to her full, sensual lips. Her hair cascaded down in waves, framing her face and adding a hint of softness to her sharp features.

Yumin walked with the grace of a ballerina, her every move choreographed to perfection. She exuded a potent aura of confidence and sensuality that seemed to fill the room. Her heels clicked against the marble floor, each step taken with the precision of a predator on a hunt. She was the embodiment of seduction and power, and everyone in that room felt it.

Sang-hyun watched as she ascended the stage, his heart pounding in his chest. every movement accentuating the sensuous curves of her body. Her aura was intoxicating, her confidence almost overwhelming. Up close, her beauty was even more breathtaking, almost ethereal.

He felt a shiver run down his spine as she offered him a smile, her eyes sparkling with a hint of mischief. Sang-hyun found it difficult to maintain eye contact with her. It was as if she was both the flame and the moth, drawing everyone towards her, yet perilous to those who ventured too close.
