“This is ridiculous!”

Player Jang Seok-ki strongly protests against the staff. He has the pride of a former professional and seems angry at the production team for trying to force him to compete with ordinary people.

Coach Cro, who was in charge of commentary, heard the uproar and rushed over.

“Oh my, Mr. Jang. We didn’t plan this without thinking.”

“Then you want me to hit and fight with ordinary people? Even if I win, I get criticized because I beat an ordinary person and won, and even if I lose, I get criticized because I was a professional and got beaten by an ordinary person! What on earth are you going to do if you get injured?”

Coach Crow urgently waved his hand at him as he spoke with a sigh.

“Participant Lee Min-ho also reportedly learned martial arts! I am by no means trying to start a fight casually!”

“Have you ever learned martial arts?”

Jang Seok-gi turned his head and looked at me.

“Really, Minho?”

“It was simple to learn.”

When I nodded, Jang Seok-gi hesitated for a moment. Coach Crow took advantage of the opportunity to explain diligently.

“And I really don’t plan on playing like the UFC. There is a risk of injury and there is controversy over fairness.”

“Who knows that…”

“Because of its external appearance, we prepared an octagon-shaped ring, but we plan to use boxing gloves and prohibit kicking.”

The plan is to use boxing gloves rather than the open gloves used in the UFC to prevent excessive injuries, and to conduct matches using only striking and grounding.

I think it is a meaningless restriction considering that the opponent is a former professional, but the production team also has their own thoughts.

“Ha……”

Jang Seok-gi sighs as if he is frustrated. If things continue like this, it looks like he will eventually abstain. For reasons like professionalism or something like that.

I guess the reason he hesitates is because he’s worried about me. Because once the game starts, you can’t do something half-hearted. Even if he won this way, it would only be awkward for him.

In the end, I took a step forward.

“I’m fine.”

“Yes? Anyway…”

“Rather, I have a slight advantage.”

At those words, not only Jang Seok-gi but also Coach Cro, who was persuading him next to him, looked at me like I was crazy.

why? Are you going to close the program?

“The martial art I learned was boxing. I am confident with these rules.”

“Do you have any amateur experience?”

“No, I did some part-time sparring work overseas. I kind of understood it.”

In this way, another line of fraud has increased in my life. Still, isn’t it a white lie to prevent the program from being overthrown? The production team should really thank me.

Even Jang Seok-ki, who has a strong work ethic, needs to reach this level to change his mind.

After hesitating, he spoke to me.

“……Are you really okay?”

“Of course. It is rather an honor to be able to play with Jang Seok-ki.”

“I can’t look at it for you.”

“This is what I hoped for.”

His eyes are burning as he looks at me. Yes, if you’re going to do it, you have to do it right. Viewers probably don’t want to see them making a fuss in the finals.

I wasn’t even paying attention to Coach Cro, who was already talking loudly next to me. Now we are just prey to each other. Who will be hunted will soon be decided.

“The winner has been decided.”

“Sure. Are you glad it fell off quickly? It’s better than getting hit and falling.”

Whispering

‘Who will get hit? joy!’

Chaney glared at the other participants chatting next to him. Doesn’t it seem like you’re just trying to get people to hit you?

She didn’t like that the only person she had become close with on this program became the subject of conversation like that.

‘It would be better if you didn’t get hurt…’

Her eyes were fixed on the monitor hanging on the wall as she nervously folded her hands together.

On the screen, Lee Min-ho and Jang Seok-gi were shown shirtless entering the ring.

On the surface, Lee Min-ho seemed to have the advantage. Because he was taller and had a very strong body.

The problem is that the opponent is a former professional.

[preparation! Fight!]

The match has begun.

The two people who were a little away advanced to the center of the ring without hesitation. Jang Seok-gi took a jab first to check the liver.

Shook

Lee Min-ho, who did not block with a guard but just slightly twisted his head to avoid it, took a step forward and hit a straight shot.

puck

Jang Seok-ki, who was caught off guard thinking that Lee Min-ho could not come right away on the first move, stumbled for a moment after being hit by a clown.

Even when there was a golden opportunity, Lee Min-ho did not hit an additional hit, which felt like a signal to him to ‘act sincerely’.

Puzzle

A spark flew into Jang Seok-ki’s eyes as he held the glove tightly. He tightened his guard and dug in backwards.

Bang~ Bang~

The sound of air exploding is heard from the glove hitting Lee Min-ho’s guard. A barrage of attacks as if they were not going to give him a chance to stick his head out of his guard.

The moment when he was about to throw a hook to the side to break Lee Min-ho’s posture and open his guard.

Lee Min-ho, who was closely observing Jang Seok-gi’s movements through the gap between his arms, threw a jab at Jang Seok-gi’s empty chin.

puck

Wow~

Jang Seok-ki, who once again allowed a blow to the face, frowned when he saw Lee Min-ho not flinching even after being hooked in the side.

‘I’m not usually stubborn.’

Jang Seok-ki thought that Lee Min-ho had no chance of winning unless he opened his guard and exposed his weaknesses. The ground wasn’t even considered. The opponent’s weight class is formidable, and if you have to tackle him and take him down, it’s not a good idea to do it while wearing boxing gloves.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh

He intentionally lowers his guard and maintains an offensive attack to lure Lee Min-ho’s attack. Lee Min-ho quickly realized his plan.

With a grinning smile, he opened his guard and participated in the melee as Jang Seok-gi intended.

Wow

Pangㅡ

The sound of the glove hitting the skin and the sound of air resonate violently.

As the attack progressed at a rapid pace, Jang Seok-gi’s stamina gradually decreased. Lee Min-ho deliberately exposed his chin when his fists showed signs of slowing down.

‘now!’

Seizing the opportunity, Jang Seok-ki’s hook was aimed at his chin, and Lee Min-ho’s cross counter broke Jang Seok-gi’s guard and hit.

A situation in which both parties allowed correct hits.

“……”

All the participants who were watching the game in the waiting room held their breath. The final blow made after a nail-biting battle.

There was no longer any excitement about the winner being decided or who would be beaten.

Lee Min-ho, who took a step or two back, soon regained his balance. And feldspar……

dump

He fell down and was knocked out.

It was Lee Min-ho’s victory.

Wow~

“Aaagh!”

Cheers erupted in the waiting room at a result that no one expected. Chaney stood up and screamed in joy.

‘What should I do… it’s so cool!’

In her eyes, once again, all she could see was Lee Min-ho, who was making a V while looking at the camera.

‘Wow, it’s hard to film a drama.’

I put on a desperate performance to win as dramatically as possible, and I felt relieved.

I was concerned about the production crew’s intentions and thought about ending the game as soon as it started, but Jang Seok-ki’s pride was also strong, so I decided to endure it.

It wasn’t his fault in the first place, I really liked his masculine personality.

From his point of view, there was a penalty due to the rules, but he showed his fierce side, so he must have saved face.

Instead, I swallowed up all the fruits of the production team’s hard work.

‘I’m going to eat well~’

Jang Seok-ki, who had collapsed just then, came over after being checked by the medical team.

“Congratulations. I was arrogant.”

“No. Because it was an open field game with many restrictions to begin with.”

He shook his head.

“Minho’s skills that I felt during the game were not outstanding. If you lose, you lose.”

“…Thank you.”

“If you are interested in UFC, please contact me. Because I will actively push for it.”

We shook hands again and exchanged contact information.

“Mr. Minho!”

When I heard a voice calling me, I turned around and saw Chaney running towards me with a flushed expression.

‘huh?’

wobble

“Congratulations on winning! I was so surprised to suddenly hear that there would be a fighting match in the finals…”

“Ah, thank you.”

There were a lot of eyes around me, so I couldn’t hug her and just patted her on the back. It seems that only then did he realize that he was in my arms, and he dropped his body in shock with red cheeks.

Since she is still topless, she cannot keep her eyes on me and speaks gibberish.

“That… I mean, ah! youtube! Be sure to let me know when you start YouTube! I will definitely help you!”

“Okay. I will definitely ask for your help.”

After appreciating her restlessness for a moment, I opened my mouth. It’s extremely uncomfortable to have to use polite language every time. If we’ve become this close, it’s okay to just talk, right?

“Shall we let go? Last time I saw you, we were the same age.”

“Uh, uh! OK! Hehe…”

What’s so good about barely being able to talk easily? A smile can’t leave my face. My first impression was that he seemed like a reasonably calculating person, but you can’t tell the inside of a person.

“I’ll finish the ending and go for a post-interview! Please gather here!”

So we finished the program and returned to our respective homes.
