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.7f6b047197c039d2

While Song a0f4a5aa4e Yiho’s preferences ed1802773e were often 52f3d64554 vague, his 8da488e52a dislikes were d82fdf4460 clear. Once he 2e2380a09e disliked someone, fd7ef453b4 he’d never 785265b934 look at 2d96f1df43 them again, 915fc43569 like a 12bc871726 file deleted 1798f1f5f1 from a fdba3edc26 computer and 08b6e38a68 then permanently f8928126f7 erased from e3e0b919a8 the recycle 62b3eadaab bin.758a05145c28a41b

Just then, he 299e7e8d69 heard the beeping fe715e5116 of the door da24f542e1 lock, and Yiho 00720fb8f4 entered. His bangs were d81c1ba1c6 damp, as if eb0d6cc8aa he had just e76e288b6f washed his face. Looking at 1bc9344c43 his hesitant 0b2db3eb3c expression, Minkyu 9e3f7b5265 smiled warmly.8066a0c099da1a7a

As soon as they 2f0edcbb25 arrived at the old 6497d1f6eb gym, Yiho started warming d8e649fb44 up. He rotated be7f7a5c66 his wrists 5bcd60ef60 and ankles, dfd818883c stretched his 57bf3b5d5d long legs 765ea9b884 a few 7d7fb4e267 times, and ec9b85b2fc quickly wrapped 4e9f464d48 his hands e31eb64b28 and put 6159a89f87 on his f997f7c16d gloves.

They faced 934056d7f7 each other e1888fd36d in the 9560c7f70f ring. They touched gloves. Taking that as a a12cdd05a1 cue, Yiho stepped forward, 51b88637e2 closing the distance, and 55c47aa00a threw the first punch.b093d8f4d17cae31

Again, he wasn’t 19c6c410db holding back. He was f500bac29f recklessly leaving 7644d9c321 his face 2b186cd436 exposed to 0ccae02cc1 someone with ac7943971a a much f567c23498 longer reach. Minkyu’s counterattack landed 24997bce91 squarely on Yiho’s 9c9dac144d shoulder with a 624f170ba5 thud. Yiho, his body b8d735b85e twisting slightly from cd5767be40 the impact, used d3dacde24f the momentum to 79564bb007 spin and strike 395ac00074 Minkyu.2db749c8aa1ff333

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.7078777487210c4a

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.e959212faf1265cd

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.
