First Fight between Friends

Yonghwa watched as he made them do marching drills for a warm-up all the soldiers including jhaesun falling into a troop and doing the drills perfectly in clean lines

"wow!" Yonghwa breathed understanding now why jhaesun didn't want him to get involved the amount of practice

it took to get their drills to be syncronised without any mistakes must have taken a lot of hard work

after the drills were completed they were made to do exercises like a regular workout

situps push ups jumping jacks and other various exercises they were split into the groups

and each group had to do a certain number of various exercises so they were pushed

to compete to see which group would complete their exercises first

Jhaesun was grouped with a number of recruits and they were not doing very well compared to the other groups to the point

Yonghwa became frustrated watching

"hey youre team is not going to win if they keep being like this" Yonghwa yelled at jhaesun getting to his feet

"yonghwa I told you not to say anything" Jhaesun yelled back

yonghwa stamped his foot at him "but youre losing!"

he yelled back

some of the men on the other teams chuckled

"hey! you kid! shut up! what do you know? you cant do half these exercises yourself!" one of the recruits from Jhaesun's team yelled at him in annoyance

"I can do them better than you!" Yonghwa shot back affronted

"yonghwa!" jhaesun yelled sharply getting to his feet "no strenuous activity the doctor orders!"

"but im better already!" he yelled back vehemently "my injury is all healed im fine!" he argued

"I bet I can do it" he stuck his nose in the air and pouted but he was too cute so some of the older soldiers chuckled

finding his stubbornness adorable and funny

"prove it then you mouthy brat!" the recruit spat at him

"Why are you on the side of the field relaxing while the rest of us are training hard?

and talking like you think it's so easy you fucking spoiled twerp!"

"hey dont curse at my friend like that he's just a kid" Justin yelled at the recruit

"How dare you yell at me! I'm a grown-ass man!" the recruit yelled back at jhaesun

"just because youre the general son you can bring your fucking twerp friend to the training ground to make fun of us when we are working hard?"

he swung his fist at Jhaesun suddenly jhaesun saw it coming and dodged his punch and suddenly Yonghwa was there he had come

running from the side to defend Jhaesun with all his might in his little body slammed into the recruit tackling

him he went down hard slamming into the ground with all the momentum in Yonghwas body had and he had been running

knocking the wind out of him to the point he coughed and choked grasping his stomach

and ribs hurt by the impact he couldn't believe such a small kid could hit him so hard and take him down

Jhaesun was stunned yonghwa glared down at the recruit groaning on the ground under him

"don't you dare hit Jhaesun he's my best friend!" he yelled at him

he stomped over to jhaesun to continue his argument

"See! I can take down a stupid guy like this if I try hard!

I am not a weakling stop treating me like one!" he yelled at jhaesun angrily

"ok I believe you youre fine dont be mad ok im sorry," Jhaesun said

"I didn't mean to make you feel like a weakling or anything but you've never done this kind of hard stuff before"

it was the first time yonghwa was blowing up at him he had never seen him angry before with fire in his brown eyes and his cheeks flushed red

"no, you dont understand I have done very hard stuff before!" Yonghwa yelled

"my dad is the meanest man I know in my whole entire life! when my mom died I endured living with him for an entire year! by myself!

with depression and insomnia and getting bullied every day by him and my stepmom putting poison in my food and picking on me!

does that sound easy to you? it was very hard, so hard I cried to you a lot so you think im a cry baby!

I dont know if I am strong or weak but you won't know if I can do it if you won't even let me try to begin with!" Yonghwa finished huffing hard it had taken a lot to get that off his chest especially at Jhaesun his first friend

the entire field was silent stunned by the boy's words his dad was mean his stepmom put poison in his food what the hell had this kid been through at his young age?

the instructor was moved, this boy was braver than half of the recruits here he was a fierce little guy

Jhaesun realized he was wrong he would have been mad too

"thats true" jhaesun acknowledged he put his hands on his shoulders

"I know you have been through a lot that's why as your friend I am worried about you and I'm overprotective of you

I didn't mean to make you feel like I was looking down on you or anything like that I just dont want you to get hurt anymore

but if you want to do it then try I won't stop you but if you get too tired you must stop ok dont forget what the doctor said"

"I know trust me" Yonghwa replied

"come on," Jhaesun said leading him to the field

"Sorry about interrupting the training sir," Jhaesun said to the instructor

"just make sure you finish your exercises and get to the obstacle course" the instructor replied

"get the recruit off the ground if he can't walk then he should go to medical immediately" he ordered others

two of the recruits were picking up their downed fellow member and taking him off the field to the medical tents set up further down the field

"little kid what should we call you that was a nice tackle takedown," the instructor said

yonghwa grinned "my name is Moon Yonghwa"

"then we will call you, recruit Moon" the instructor replied

"do only what you can manage since you are on doctors orders"

"yes sir" he replied

"Jhaesun you must monitor him so he's you're friend"

"yes sir" Jhaesun replied
