Taekwondo Love
Description
You were a 1st don black belt and Hoya was a 2nd black belt of Taekwondo. Both you and him registered when you guys were 6. Of course at first you didn't recognized him and so do him. But, since you and him still attending the class every Sunday up until now, you were 17, both you and him started getting closer.
When you were 14, you admitted, it was awfully awkward to start the conversation with him. When you were 15, and both of you joined a tournament, you can say that it was still a bit awkward when you wanted to congrats him since he won a gold medal while you just won a bronze medal. When both of you were 16, the awkward atmosphere were fading away and you and him were getting closer.
The coach had always paired you and him up for sparring or one-step sparring even you were a girl and he's a boy. Because, normally, if you need a partner for Taekwondo, it has to be same gender as yours.
You weren't really sure either you had a crush on him or not. Every time you saw him at the class, it was enough to made your day and you weren't felt any butterflies in your belly whenever you and him became a partner. But one day, the activity was practicing one-step sparring and once again you and Hoya were a partner since all the boys and the girls had their own partner with same gender but you and him.
Foreword
For those who doesn't know (which is I bet, a lot of you :p) what the hell is sparring and one-step sparring, let me tell you guys since I'm an expert xD LOL! Okay sorry, just kidding ^^'
Sparring is two people with one wearing a blue vest while the other one is wearing a red vest. That people will 'fight' for a certain time and for the points. Usually, it took about 3 minutes for 2 rounds and a break between round 1 and round 2. The break usually only took about 30 seconds. And for the points, kicking at the torso part with a loud thud, you'll get 1 or 2 points and for the head, you'll get 3 points.
One-step sparring is still two people but they are not 'fighting' with each other, it just one person attack while the other one defend himself. So, one is called 'attacker' while the other one is called 'defender'. They will stand facing each other and the 'attacker' will punch at the face level of the 'defender'. So, the 'defender' will make a specific movement to defend himself (well, he's a defender anyway). And the 'attacker' just need to punch while the 'defender' will take the lead. Oh, they don't need to wear the vest and the head gear because this is just a practice.
Get it? That's why it has to be same gender for both sparring and one-step sparring because the skinship is the main movement. (if you know what I mean ^^)
And by the way, I used Hoya as the guy is because he used to be in a Taekwondo but stopped when he was a 3rd don black belt because he had joined a tournament and get hit a lot since the one who he 'fight' with is higher level than him.
Aaaaaaaaand, you'll know how I know all about this and how'd I get this idea at the end of this story^^ Thanks for reading and I hope you would enjoy it and add some knowledge about Taekwondo :)
