CRND Ch 11

Song Yiho was generally uncomfortable with physical contact. He was shy by nature. Even Minkyu, whom he had known for over ten years, could startle him with a sudden approach. He had felt a little hurt by that in the past, but then he realized that Yiho only startled and didn’t recoil from Minkyu. With anyone else, he’d flinch and then quickly retreat, as if exorcising a ghost. Witnessing that had more than eased his mind.09406f80b8748967

But lately, 1ca16b7b05 it had 78c97b1e65 been completely 398ade8b30 different.b0b753a0c005b98b

While Song 67c262b9df Yiho’s preferences d6283719de were often 07ab5a7dc9 vague, his baa04b20cb dislikes were d0dbbf9a65 clear. Once he disliked e942432d67 someone, he’d never f763e123f8 look at them b7593852a9 again, like a 7eedef8e17 file deleted from 2b937d1d09 a computer and 52b2cba9e2 then permanently erased 8302add72e from the recycle da1d369529 bin.d007ab0434c9e444

He didn’t b4706a8a5c think Song 9b9ea43952 Yiho would ec3a874178 treat him 57d34bbbd2 that way, 84a04ccfbd though.dd1ea719ec4295e6

Just then, 845d4eb945 he heard e5e6673691 the beeping 2b882e93ab of the 37069c8195 door lock, 57a2ab97ee and Yiho fb1f6d9d58 entered. His bangs b8c4c76886 were damp, 3b69f039c5 as if 70a20b498a he had 388612bd93 just washed edf30cf45d his face.

As soon as 10224388d8 they arrived at 36e3793983 the old gym, e58519e7d8 Yiho started warming 02c0fcddbd up. He rotated his 44f536fa09 wrists and ankles, e5b22e0703 stretched his long 50906d850a legs a few e9195f5703 times, and quickly 9b9e3c1b63 wrapped his hands f902f482e9 and put on f307330ead his gloves.

Minkyu jumped 12920636ad around a 848f44c96b bit, then 402f2b9345 wrapped his c30544be1e hands and 0aa191e80e put on f92f5d86de a pair 1022dda391 of shared 6a7796a9d9 gloves. They faced each 82276bf1a0 other in the d4c4db9ac6 ring. They touched gloves. Taking that as a 8f9e945372 cue, Yiho stepped forward, b33f3b7b0d closing the distance, and 3ffd0e4edb threw the first punch.f55e2a8b935d2ce0

Again, he wasn’t d47dc62201 holding back. He was recklessly leaving 6f6aa63c93 his face exposed to 8efc7784bc someone with a much 77ae17494b longer reach. Minkyu’s counterattack landed 471a7174fe squarely on Yiho’s c5036dbd15 shoulder with a d216c43629 thud. Yiho, his 6feec1240f body twisting 7b088e74c4 slightly from 3ec79f83b7 the impact, 71920aac67 used the 0b1ec29b41 momentum to 0616e221bb spin and a190d7e4e0 strike Minkyu.18b87466619319cf

Minkyu chuckled softly behind his glove. Yiho’s punches were sharp, almost painful, as if fueled by some deep-seated resentment. His still-hungover body felt stiff. He had landed a few solid hits on Yiho, but he showed no sign of raising his guard or backing down.1657c17436f7f427

Minkyu’s back finally hit the corner of the ring. As Yiho lunged with another punch, Minkyu ducked and grabbed his waist. He wrapped his arms around Yiho’s torso and pushed him away with his head and shoulders.8688510c5d4e45d4

Pulling Yiho back to the center of the ring, Minkyu took a fighting stance. Yiho, who had been so aggressive just moments ago, now stood there with a dazed expression.
