Waking up from the pain she felt all throughout her body, she groaned. She tried to get up but she couldn't. She grabbed the nearest chair beside her and pushed it as she tried to stand up..
She got out of the tent, limping and saw Jihyo and Dahyun outside waiting for her to start their job which was to cover her wounds. Chaeyoung and Nayeon ran towards her while bringing some extra make up and bandages.
She was in confusion with them bringing those things. Curiosity killed her when she asked them why were they in her tent at this hour but even if she was given honest answers, she still couldn't stop herself from asking more. It was just hard for her to believe.
"Ready?" Jihyo asked while looking at her with her dazzling smile. Leilein hadn't changed, she thought. Of course she didn't.
She looked at herself in the mirror and she can't believe the girl in front of her. Although she only wore their uniform but the magic of the girls was clearly seen. No sign of purple and black bruises, no sign of lumps or any scratches. Perfectionare!! From scale 1-10 she gave them 11/10.
Suddenly, the bell rang, breaking the ice. She thanked them after she got up from her seat and soon, they also prepared themselves. She sat down on the chair while massaging her legs. Standing up for too long was not good and sitting for too long didn't do any good too.
Baekhyun kept on worrying about her. He kept on babying her, and sometimes, he fed her in front of the boys. However, she strongly refused to be fed. It was a childish and suited for couple. They were not and the action was not necessary.
After breakfast, they settled down on the field as per request of their dean. Then all of the representatives were being called to start their training. Everyone watched what happened, while Jimin was nervous about the outcome.
He knew everything about her. He knew her strength, and that she was not that easy to fight with. He was not just worried because for her opponents, but for her health also. She has so many scars that are still fresh from the cuts and beatings. Everyone was worried for her, in short.
Each representative had a new opponent every day and every training. As they were getting ready, there would be a surprise attack. It depends on either side, who's going to attack first.
Here she was, getting ready. Her hands were shaking and her knees were trembling. Slowly, she and Baekhyun quietly walked behind the open ground as she was the last one to fight.
She decided to have a practice. She dragged Tao and Jimin for practice. They started with the basic one, down to the next one and then to the next one. As they were getting into it, she accidentally punched Jimin's jaw.
He stumbled and held his face. Tao chuckled and left to get some ice, while she stayed behind. She gently massaged it, forming small circles with her tiny cute hands.
"I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have dragged you,"
"Hey, it's fine. This was not the first time, remember?" he teased.
"aish, still. I'll treat you something after this camp as a compensation for this," she watched Jimin who nodded and took the ice from Tao before going back to his seat.
Just in time, she was called and Tao made a high five with her. She totally got this, he thought. As the their coach announced the rules, they started warming up.
"are you afraid? Oh you must be afraid. You don't know this one right?" Jennie sneered, seeming to underestimate her.
However she kept silent and went to her position, leaving Jennie. She was ready to crack some kips.
"Leilein please take it easy ok?
We mean do your lowest move," Tao addressed her. All knew her capabilities.
"we don't want to have issues saying you broke bones," Sehun said to her, worrying about her opponent while patting her back.
"Lei~ do as what they say although I want you to relax and enjoy your fight," Jihoon made a calm motive but he was pinched by Daniel. He whined at the pain but he received a glare from him and he immediately closed his mouth.
After some time, they stopped as she was called to start the fight before evening. The boys cheered loudly behind her back as she slowly walked towards the open field.
She gulped nervously and looked at her trembling hands. She shook her head and recalled what they've said to her. It made her smile and her mind was filled with determination. Although she hated showing off, she was going to do it for the boys.
