The reaper

Chapter 2

So dohyun’s P.O.V

"Daeshim It's been so long since I last saw you" I said referring to the other man with hair as black as night and with eyes as blue as the ocean.

"Has it been that long, that you could not recognise my agents and even knocked them unconscious?"

Now that he said it, it began to make sense why the men were so vaguely familiar. I could feel a blush begin to spread on my cheeks as I realized who the agents were. I guess I would have noticed it sooner, if I wasn't too suspicious about it. Those agents have been following me for the last three days. A normal person would not have noticed it but I guess a former bodyguard doesn’t count as normal.

 

" As you know, the elections are coming up and people who have a chance will be targeted. Knowing this a client came to us for protection"

"As faltered as I am, I still don't know why you are telling me this knowing full well that I have retired"

"Because you more than anyone is the most situated person for this role". I took a breath before asking "And who might this be"

"Park Hajun"

The minute the name flowed out of Daeshim's lips the first two words that came out of my mouth was "I refuse"

"Already!" hajun said in mock horror.

"And here I was thinking we were such good friends" hajun said laying his hands on my shoulder but the minute his hands got on my shoulder I immediately flipped him only to find him land on his feet as graceful as a cat.

 

"Long time no see doyun-ah. Even after all these years you are still not able to grow an inch" he said with a teasing smile.

I scowled as I began to explain to daeshim "See this is the reason why I don't want to work with him. He is always like this and I will have you know I grew a total of three inches" I said with my chin jutted out.

"Three inches, I didn't notice" he said looking at my 5'9 self from his abnormal height of 6'3.

"I kindly refuse in fact I doubly refuse. Can I go home now?" I asked with as much hope as I could muster

"What if we pay you double"

"In exchange for my mental health? "

"I will give you anything you want"

I parted my lips in such a way that he could clearly see me mouth no.

"Then how about we spar like old times"

"Why would I possibly want to waste anymore time with you?"

"I am well aware of the financial state of the school you are currently employed in. They are a special needs schools that is supposed to be undergoing renovations to make it more inclusive but I am sure renovations are quite hard with the amount of debt they are rolling in"

" All I am saying is, if you win and a big emphasis on if you win, the school you are currently employed in will have more than enough money for their renovations but if I win you will become my bodyguard no questions asked"

"You sure did your homework didn't you?"

"Indeed I did" he said taking a bow, as if he didn't just run a background check on me.

"Can I trust you to keep your word"

"As I trust you to keep yours"

I contemplated and began to weigh the pros and cons. If I did this, the school would have more than enough budget but if I lost I will not be able to find a cliff high enough for me to throw myself down from with a deep sigh I took a deep breath and said "Deal"

It was a minimum of minutes or a maximum of an hour to get the training ground ready.

"You know the rules. The match is 30 minutes, if you hit a vital spot you win. I want a clean game, the fight starts now"

As soon as the words left his mouth the atmosphere of the room dropped significantly as tension rose. It has been a while since we last trained together. Park Hajun has always been swift and powerful, ruthless and overwhelming. Once he starts fighting, he gives of the feeling of a rash careless man but don't let that fool you, he is more calculated than he lets on. With none of us backing down we began to circle each other like predators targeting it's prey. Carefully deciding where to attack I began to check for any weak points he may had left open but I should have known, Hajun doesn't have patience.

Like a maniac, he moved with enough speed and force that I didn't have enough time to blink before he was right Infront of me. Startled I side stepped and tried to put as much distance between us while he burst into uncontrollable laughter.

"Either you have simply began to lose your touch or you have began to feel a little too comfortable in that new life of yours." He said in a bitter tone.

"The old So Doyun would have been able to respond just in time"

He was right the old me wouldn't have ever missed the opportunity, of him stepping into my close range but I guess I have become dull, far too used to being something I am not.

Right jab, left jab, left hook, right hook, throwgrabs and locks is how the fight has been for a while now. Neither of us were backing down and I thought we could both predict each other, till a heavy blow connected with the right side of my stomach. Overcame with rage I charged at him with all I got throwing caution to the wind. I jabbed him in the stomach with my elbow, and hit his ribs before returning a round house kick to his temple but as always he didn't fall, he was always sort of abnormal when it came to physical fights. I took advantage of his disorientation and kicked his legs from under him landing him on the ground. I went to restrain him but he rolled away and managed to kick my legs from under me, shocked by the impact I fell on the floor and he tackled me.

We began to roll on the ground like little kids because none of us wanted to back down.

"Stay still"

"No"

We rolled around some more before I felt his hands digging into my sides.

"You wouldn't " I said warily

"I think u know me well enough to know that I would" he said with a devilish smile before he began to tickle me

"No please stop, I promise I will stay still" I begged

"No you asked for it"he said while laughing

"I'm sorry" I said begging for my life with tears in my eyes. Till he finally stopped and put the knife he pulled out of his back pocket on my throat, signaling the end of the match.

"I win"he said triumphantly

"No! I call a do over" I cried out outrageously

"They are no do overs in a real fight Doyun" said daeshim trying and failing to conceal a smile

"But-"

"No do overs Doyun”

"Fine" I said pouting while still giving them the evil stare. I am sure they planned this and were never really giving me a choice signaling that something must be seriously wrong.
