"Okay, so from what I remembered, the rules are basically each side is at disadvantage until you make it you advantage. Correct?"

"Yes! See look your getting the hang of this." Taehyung nudged the prince with a bright smile of his. Hoseok sighed, leaning against the tree he currently was standing by. He ruffled his hair with his lips plucker in a pout. The sun had risen giving the morning air a nice warm crisp with an orange hue illuminating from the sun.

"Tae just what exactly did I sign up for?" Hoseok asked, crossing his arms over his chest. Taehyung scratched behind his neck giving a wary smile.

"Something I don't think was a good idea. But hey your trying to impress Y/n no?" Hoseok's eyes widen and immediately stood up straight, smacking his palm over Taehyung's mouth.

"Shh!! Don't be loud! I don't want anyone knowing!" Hoseok quickly hushed with wide eyes. Taehyung shoved the man off him as he rolled his eyes.

"You should've thought about that a while ago. Not only does Seokjin know but so does Jungkook. Your so bluntly obvious Hoseok, like can you be any louder with your actions and your emotions?" Taehyung scoff. Hoseok groaned and whined, covering his face with his large palms.

"I wasn't trying to be obvious she's just so pretty and makes me all giggly for some reason. I can't even concentrate whenever I'm around her. It's so unfair how whenever she wears those those men clothes she looks too good on them." Hoseok whined, his ears turning red from the thought. His own face heating up, burning as if steam was put on his face. Taehyung raised his eyebrow at his friend. The way just the mere thought of her made his knees buckle concern the younger man.

"Hoseok bro you have it bad. I mean I knew it was bad but I didn't think it was that bad." Taehyung blinked seeing his friend so flustered.

"Oh? Is he thinking about Y/n again?" A third voice pipped in causing Hoseok to jump. His face was still beet red with the tips of his ears still red and hot. Jungkook laughed at his reaction, scrunching up his nose.

"Oh geez Jungkook it's just you." Hoseok said sighing in relief as he placed his hand over his chest to calm his beating heart. He thought someone else found out and he didn't want any of that to happen anymore. Jungkook grinned nodding with what the older male said.

"Yessir! And I see your thinking about your little dove huh?" Jungkook teased. Hoseok's eyes widen once again waving up his hands in defensive.

"M-Me?! No! Little dove!?! A-Absolutely not!" Hoseok defended. Taehyung rolled his eyes, facing Jungkook now.

"Yeah. He's talking about how pretty she is." Taehyung snort with annoyance.

"Ohh~Ain't that cute? The prince fell in love with a beautiful thief~" Jungkook cooed, pinching the prince's cheek. Hoseok step back from his hand with a burning face.

"Well I w-wouldn't say l-love." Hoseok grumbled, rubbing behind his neck. Jungkook rolled his eyes and wrapped his arm around Hoseok's shoulder.

"Yes you do. At this point you do. I mean it's scientifically proven that you catch feelings for someone in about six months. Look I might not know anything about love but people always tend to seek advice from people who have zero experience with love. Take writer for example, she has no experience with love and yet people goes to her with relationship problems as if she knows a thing about relationships." Jungkook giggled like a little boy, poking the male's cheek. Hoseok furrowed his eyebrows at the weird statement that left Jungkook.

"Um what? Who are you talking about?"

"The writer!"

"Who?"

"Don't listen to him Hoseok he's crazy." Taehyung took Hoseok by the arm and pulled him away from the younger male.

"What! I'm just trying to give the prince some advice!" Jungkook whined and took Hoseoks other arm.

"Advice about what?! Your not even seeing anyone Kook!" Taehyung exclaimed, pulling Hoseoks other arm harder. Hoseok let out a pained cry. Jungkook frowned and tugged Hoseoks other arm even harder. Hoseok hissed as he was being tugged back and forth.

"I was telling you that most people seek advice from people who have no experience in relationships so I'm gonna give Hyung some good advice!" Jungkook whined.

"No you just talking about some writer!! Like who's 'the writer'! I bet that's some person you made up!" Taehyung yelled tugging back the prince. Hoseok stood in the middle getting tug like some kind of rag doll that two children are fighting over for.

"No shes real!!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Is not!"

"Is too!"

"Lair!"

"I'm not!"

"Butt licker!"

"Fart smeller!"

"Booty kisser!"

"Piss drinker!"

"Ew what the hell J-"

"And what the hell are you two bickering about?! I could hear you guys on the other side of camp!" A voice yelled. The two boys stopped and tensed, both slowly facing the now angry Y/n. Y/n had her hands on her hips with her face in pure fury. Jungkook immediately let go of the prince and pointed to Taehyung.

"He started it!"

"I did not you lair!" Taehyung defended also letting go of the prince. Hoseok fell backwards from the sudden weight loss.

"Woah! Ouch.." Hoseok grumbled his body already weak from the fight from earlier. As the boys bicker, Y/n walked towards the prince and extended her hand out. Hoseok looked up at her and blinked. He took her head as she helped him up.

"Thanks."

"No problem. Sorry about them they always bicker it's worse when Jimin is involved." Y/n sighed, placing her hand on her head as she was exasperated. Hoseok gave a shy smile and waved it off.

"It's no problem. It was kinda funny. Though I'm not really sure how they ended up bickering." Hoseok said. Y/n looked at the two boys bickering and immediately clapped her heads to gain their attention like little kids.

"Yah! Stop bickering or I'll give you a reason to bicker!" Y/n yelled, smacking behind both of their heads. They both groaned in pain and rubbed their sore spots.

"How such a small women possess such strength. Such godly strength." Jungkook hissed. Y/n crossed her arms over her chest giving the two a glare. Hoseok's eyes couldn't help but scan her furious position. To him, she looked adorable for being so small against these giant men. And yet everyone in the camp feared her. He was also bluntly checking her out once again feeling his mind all fogged up once again. Like come on prince, you should concentrate more.

"Yo I think the prince is checking her out." Jungkook whispered towards Taehyung. Taehyung smacked his head once again.

"Stop it."

"But he is! Look at the way his eyes are scanning her-"

"You have something to say Jeon?" Y/n scowled at the boys. Jungkook raised his hands in defense and shook his head.

"Nah madam. Just wanted you to know you look stunning today cutie." Jungkook grinned, playfully winking at her. Y/n furrowed her eyebrows before smacking Jungkook's arm.

"No I don't, I think you need a check up from losing that battle with the prince. You talking outta ya as-"

"But the prince agrees with me! Right Hyung?" Jungkook smiled, but behind that glint in his eyes was mischief. Hoseok tensed at the sudden attention on him and him totally not getting caught checking her out. Y/n now faced the shy prince.

"Me? O-oh yeah I think you look s-stunning today little dove." Hoseok swallowed, rosy coloring his cheeks. His Adam's apple bouncing in his throat. Y/n tensed at the nickname. She quickly cleared her throat, her own face slowly heating up.

"I've told you to stop calling me that. You just don't listen now do you?"

"But little dove suits you greatly." Hoseok smiled shyly, trying to keep his body still and not completely melting in front of her. The way he had to stop the urge of his legs to buckle beneath him was hard. His eyes locked with hers, him completely forgetting to breathe. He was left utterly breathless with the warm look she was giving towards him. His whole body heated up once again, chewing on his lip.

"See told ya." Jungkook whispered. Taehyung rolled his eyes and stepped right between them to break their locking gazes.

"Alright alright. Hoseok you should practice your sword skills." Taehyung said, throwing a sword his way. Hoseok caught it as he blinked from the moment being ruined. When he flickered his gaze towards Y/n they were cold once again. But he could've sworn they held warmth.

"Yeah I should be going. I wanna see how Namjoon is doing." Y/n said flickering her gaze towards the two boys.

"You two behave or I'll make sure you both have twice as much training this week. That's technically the punishment for the first round, Jungkook." Y/n narrowed her eyes at him. Jungkook laughed nervously, scratching behind his neck.

"I'm aware Noona. And I'll make sure I behave." Jungkook smiled, batting his eyelashes. Y/n's eyebrow twitched from annoyance, pulling his ear.

"Don't you dare call me Noona! I'm not that old!" Y/n shouted. Jungkook yelled out in pain with wide eyes. He tried to move but she only pulled harder. He whined, squirming in her hold.

"Okay okay okay! I'm sorry Y/n!"

Hoseok gave a wary smile at the interaction. Sweat dropping from his forehead in worry.

'Jungkook is considered one of the strongest and yet Y/n can literally bring him to his knees. Oh god out of the ladies in the world, why this one?'

"Y/n! Come on! Your gonna rip off his ear if you don't stop tugging on it!" Taehyung panicked slightly from the amount of strength she was using. Jungkook screamed causing everyone to look their way. Hoseok turned beet red from embarrassment, his eyes wide feeling everyone's eyes on them.

"H-Hey guys can you please sto-"

"Moonchild! Geez why are you causing such a ruckus?" Namjoon walked towards them with a sigh. Hoseok immediately shut his mouth, his shoulders sinking at the sight of him. Of course the charming, tall man just had to show up with his stupid dimples, just like Prince Charming swooping in to save the day. How ironic since Hoseok was the real prince here. But he really didn't consider himself charming.

"I'm not, Jungkook just called me noona, and he knows how much I hate being called Noona!" Y/n yelled tightening her hold on Jungkook's ear. Jungkook whined even more, his eyes squeezed shut from the pain. Namjoon chuckled, taking her wrist, gently pulling it away from Jungkook's poor ear. Jungkook sighed in relief, rubbing behind his ear in a pout. Y/n scoffed moving her wrist away from his hold.

"I wasn't done punishing him." Y/n huffed. Namjoon smiled, his two dimples popping out in glory. Any girl would've swoon at the sight.

'Curse those damn dimples.'

Hoseok grumbled to himself, gripping his sword so hard his knuckles starting to turn white.

"Yes you are. Your being loud for literally no reason Moonchild. He's fine, right Kook?"

Jungkook merely nodded with a pout. Y/n huffed, crossing her arms over her chest. Namjoon pinched her cheek with a grin. Y/n whined, squirming from his hold.

"Don't! Not now! Joonie!"

Namjoon laughed, now cupping both of her cheeks squishing them together, making her lips plucker out. Y/n whined even more, placing her hands on his, playfully glaring at him.

"Let go you brat."

"No. Look at you so cute." He cooed, that alone made Y/n flustered. The back of her neck heating up from embarrassment.

"I-I'm not!"

"Are too~"

Hoseok stared from afar with a blank expression. He looked down at his sword before dropping it on the ground. Everyone around them muttering about the two.

"They are so gonna get married."

"Look how cute they are."

"Ugh she's so lucky he's so handsome."

Hoseok flickered his gaze to the ground with a blank look. This caught Jungkook's attention. Jungkook turned his head towards the older male seeing the way his shoulders sunk but his features blank. Jungkook walked over towards the male with furrowed eyebrows.

"Hey? Hyung? You okay?" Jungkook asked, picking up his sword. Hoseok blinked, now his gaze towards Jungkook.

"Hmm? Yeah I'm fine. Just thinking. I should get going. I need to get ready for the second round. I'm not that great at sword fighting so I might lose this round anyway." Hoseok said blankly. He mindlessly grabbed the sword handle from Jungkook and began walking. Jungkook pulled his lips into a thin line, not even hesitating to follow the male.

"Hey, Namjoon Hyung doesn't even like Y/n like that. He's just really good friends with her." Jungkook reassured, patting his back. Hoseok laughed sadly, his eyes looking at the ground.

"No he does Jungkook. Besides you can compete with a handsome guy like that? Tall, charming, and even has dimples. He's a literal prince. I'm just an ugly guy who isn't as charming and barely has any social skills. Yet I'm the one born royalty." Hoseok continued to walk away from the crowd, his head low.  Jungkook walked beside him with a frown.

"Hey don't say that. Your are very handsome Hyung. Look." Jungkook stopped him, making him face him. Hoseok blankly stared at him. Jungkook pointed to his cheeks.

"Look high cheek bones. Namjoon Hyung doesn't have that."

Jungkook then pointed to his eyes.

"Nice eyes too. And perfectly shaped as well."

Then he pointed towards his curly hair.

"Nice curly hair to attract the ladies."

Jungkook then pointed to his jawline.

"And a very attractive jawline that not everyone has. So sharp it could cut apples." Jungkook grinned, pretending to cut himself with his jaw. Hoseok's lips twitched into a small smile.

"Also your personality isn't bad either. Your very nice, actually is funny and very bashful. That should be more important then looks. But you have the looks 100 percent as well. So your the whole package deal. I'm sure Y/n would like you."

Hoseok lost his smile, averting his stare onto the ground.

"How can you be so sure? Namjoon's known her longer."

"Well Taehyung knows her as long as Namjoon and she doesn't like him like that. Besides Y/n only acts that way with Hyung because he's been there when everything happened. You have a chance just as much as he does. Y/n's never really been interested with marriage or anything like that so your both on the same boat. Anyways I think Noona is warming up to you." Jungkook smiled. Hoseok rose his head with a puzzled look.

"But she still hates me."

"Not really if she truly did she would avoid you or even tie you up. But she hasn't done any of that. In fact she talks to you like she talks to everyone else in the camp. Which is a good sign. Besides, Y/n needs to see not all royalty is bad."

Hoseok raised his eyebrows in surprise, tilting his head. Jungkook placed his hands behind his head with a smile.

"I know Y/n thinks that because of what happen to her father, but not all royals are like that. Seokjin Hyung was part of a rich family. He was never happy so he ran away. He nearly got killed by the Royal guards despite him being so high up but Y/n saved him. Y/n was 16 then. Seokjin was forever grateful and decided to stay with her. Then her point of view changed. But she still hates the royals. Of course she has every right too but it's not fair to the people who are actually good. It's never good to assume a certain person is bad just because you met a person with the similar status that treated you like garbage." Jungkook explained. Hoseok listened, silently agreeing with him.

"That's true. But why do you agree with it? I mean I agree but everyone in the camp seems to have the same ideals as her."

"That's true but it can't be helped. At least everyone in this camp is here because they were treated unfairly. I was too but the queen personally helped my mother so why would I hate on her?" Jungkook said softly, his voice growing soft.

"I didn't necessarily meet her because at the time my mother was pregnant with me, but my mother would always tell me the special honor she had that the Queen herself saved her. See my mother was peasant and so was my father. My father worked in the kingdom as a servant but we were barely making ends meet. My father grew desperate since food was scarce, he stole from the king. He got caught so his punishment was his wife would take the beating. My mother was pregnant so obviously a beating would've killed me. But the Queen stepped up and took mercy on my father, compassion on my mother and saved my mother and mine life too. She even gave us some money to support ourselves. So disrespecting the royals and hating them is like hating on her." Jungkook smiled to himself, shoving his hands in his pockets.

"When the Queen did die though I was truly saddened even my mother cried. I was about 5 years old but it was still sad the Queen passed away. That was the kingdom's only hope. But you probably know that huh?" Jungkook asked. Hoseok nodded mindlessly, a small smile coming to his lips.

"Yeah my mother was the kindest from what I remember. And it seems like everyone remembers her that way too. But had the same amount of power I have no, maybe even less. She couldn't really do much since father held most of the power according to tradition. Though I always knew many people looked upon my mother. She was so sweet and warm."

"Yeah. Well point being, I really do hope Y/n warms up to you. We really shouldn't judge people for anything they can't help being. Anyways you should go practice. The second round will start soon." Jungkook patted his back before turning his heel to walk away.

"Wait!"

Jungkook halted his movements and turned his head to face the prince. Hoseok gave a smile, ruffling his messy hair. Jungkook blinked at the sudden affection.

"Thanks buddy. I feel better now knowing my mother helped you out. I don't remember much of her but thank you."

"Your welcome hyung." Jungkook grinned.

"By the way, why do you call me Hyung? How do you know I'm older?" Hoseok asked. Jungkook thought a moment before speaking.

"Easy your the same age as Namjoon Hyung and Y/n. You three are from the same year." Jungkook shrugged.

"Wait! Y/n is the same age as me?!"

⚔️⚔️⚔️⚔️

Hoseok stood nervously in the crowd. Only a few people were able to make it to the second round. Of course Namjoon and Jimin made it with ease. They had no problem passing the second round. Yoongi came from the tent with a tired expression, clearing showing his distaste for being here in the first place.

"Wow look at this crowd, you all should be proud of yourselves for passing the first round. Except the prince, that was pure luck." Yoongi snorted making everyone snicker. Hoseok rolled his eyes, crossing his arms over his chest in annoyance. It wasn't luck, he actually had skill. But he surely knows he's gonna lose this second round for sure.

"Anyways, we're going in order of who won last round and having them up first. Which means, the prince is up first against whoever won the round after him. And it appears to be, ah Jimin." Yoongi looked over towards the sliver hair male who was standing next to Namjoon.

"After them is Mingi and Bang Chan, then San and Jongho and who ever wins those rounds and the first round would complete against each other. Third round starts tomorrow in the evening. Now that's cleared Jimin and Prince, grab your swords and head towards the middle." Yoongi ordered. Jimin didn't hesitate to grab his silver sword out from his belt and walked towards the middle. Hoseok bit his lip as he took out his. He walked towards the middle standing in the middle with Jimin. Everyone spread out forming a large square around them.

"Okay so here's the rules because the prince is clueless. This is a sword battle. It's basically the same rules like with the wrestling battle. However, if you cause any serious injuries with the sword you are immediately out. This isn't a battle to the death it's just a testament of strength so don't go overboard. Ah and one more thing, just like the wrestling battle you need one more person from the crowd to help you. It could be anyone even if they are already disqualified or even someone who isn't even in the tournament. It's required in this fight so pick your partners." Yoongi said motionlessly.

Hoseok pulled his lips in a thin line, his eyes flickering in the crowd to look for Taehyung. But he was no where to be found.

"I choose you Yoongi Hyung." Jimin's loud voice startled Hoseok from his thoughts. Yoongi sighed and groaned.

"Fine. And you prince? Have you chosen your partner?" Yoongi asked, walking over towards Jimin to stand next to him. Hoseok shook his head, his eyes scanning through the crowd. But everyone averted their eyes away from his purposely so they wouldn't be chosen. Hoseok felt his heart shattered seeing Taehyung purposely far from the crowd so he wouldn't be chosen. He should've known, just why would anyone truly be his friend?

"If you don't pick a partner then you are immediately disqualified." Yoongi said bluntly. Hoseok side glared at the older male but sighed in defeat, no one was gonna be his partner so might as well give up.

"Alright I giv-"

"I'm gonna be his partner!" Jungkook yelled from the crowd. He jumped up and immediately walked towards them with a big grin. Everyone blinked at his exclamation, not really expecting that. Even Jimin looked surprised.

"You sure? You don't have to Kookie. He's the one that beat you in the first place." Jimin spoke, pointing his sword at the prince. Jungkook merely shrugged, wrapping his arm around the prince startling the man.

"That's fine! I'm positive I wanna be his partner! Besides that's not fair no one wanted to be his partner, man I expected more from Tae but hey can't say I'm surprised." Jungkook hummed. Jimin furrowed his eyebrows, lowering his sword.

"Jungkook-"

"Leave it Hyung I'm gonna be his partner. Now come on I can't wait for this battle. Let's see if I can beat you Hyung!" Jungkook grinned. Jimin sighed and nodded.

"Very well."

"Alright then, let's start I guess." Yoongi yawned. Jungkook drew out his sword while Yoongi did the same but tiredly.

"Ready, Go!"

The shout got Jungkook lunging forward with his sword, directly aiming it to Jimin. But with swift speed, Jimin dodged it.

"Of course the same technique every single time Jeon." Jimin scoffed, but before he could even say anymore, Hoseok came from behind lunging forward towards the male. Barely in seconds was Jimin able to dodge it. His eyes widen at the sudden attack. Hoseok regained his balance and so did Jungkook, legs spread apart, their swords pointed towards him.

"Yeah but this time it isn't the same partner." Jungkook grinned. Jimin narrows his eyes, circling around them, then smirked.

"Now Hyung!"

That alone made both males whipped their heads behind them only to fine Yoongi lunging towards them with his sword in his hands. Hoseok jumped back, gripping Jungkook's sleeve to pull him back. Jungkook grunted, the sword barely brushing against his cheek. But they both barley had time to recover when Jimin came from the front to swing his sword. Hoseok ducked, lunging forward to trip Jimin over. Jungkook moved to the right to block Yoongi's attacks, grabbing his arm and flipping over his shoulder. Yoongi grunted and gasped for air as his back hit the bare ground. Jungkook winced at the sound of hearing his back crack from the impact.

"You good Hyung?" Jungkook asked. Yoongi huffed, jumping back up with his sword in his hand.

"I'm fine Kook. Don't worry about that!" Yoongi lunged forward again with his sword only for Jungkook to block his attack with his sword. He grinned from ear to ear.

"Oh okay but that's good to hear! You should really get that checked with Jin Hyung." Jungkook stated.

"JK! Duck!"

Jungkook glanced as Jimin lunged forward towards him. Jungkook ducked making Jimin crash into Yoongi. Jungkook rolled out with a heavy breathe. Hoseok stood up on his feet panting from the lack of air he received. Jungkook stood up immediately, gripping his sword.

Jimin and Yoongi groaned from bumping heads but that didn't stop them from getting up more determined to defeat them.

"Oops sorry." Jungkook giggled, his chest heaving with air. Jimin rolled his eyes and stepped forward with his sword up towards Jungkook. Jungkook blocked the attack but only for Yoongi to come up from behind to make the same attack. Hoseok however, shoved Yoongi to the ground to block his attack.

"I hate fighting." Yoongi whined and groaned in pain. He jumped up again, swinging his sword towards Hoseok. Hoseoks eyes widen trying to dodge each swing. But he barely missed the sword when it brushed against his bicep. He hissed his clothing ripped and blood oozing out of his bicep. Taking this chance, Yoongi got ready to finish him off but only for Hoseok to block the attack with his sword hearing a loud cling echo through the forest.

Hoseok gritted through his teeth to keep the sword from coming through. Yoongi did the same thing but stronger. Hoseok panted not sure how much longer he could keep this up.

"God why don't you just fall already!" Yoongi yelled out in frustration.

"I could say the same bout you old man!" Hoseok snared out, finally having enough strength to over come him. Yoongi jerked backwards from the amount of strength he put through. Hoseok breathed heavily, when Yoongi collapsed onto the ground, his sword far him him. Hoseok pointed his sword towards him with dark stare.

"Your out." Hoseok panted. Yoongi glared at him, sitting up to grab his sword.

"Jimin I lost. It's up to you now." Yoongi shouted. He stood up, gripping his sword as he walked back to the crowd. He didn't want to show it but his shoulder was popped out of place from the fall Hoseok caused earlier and hurt like hell to him.

Hoseok now flickered his eyes toward Jimin and Jungkook fighting with their swords, the clashing of the swords was the only thing heard besides their grunting. Hoseok ruffled his sweaty hair as the sweat dripped from his forehead down to his chin.

Y/n who was standing in the crowd stared at lot longer than she intended. Her face slowly heating up when she realized she was staring for too long. Feeling someone stare at him, Hoseok flickered his eyes meeting hers. He wiped the sweat from his chin with the back of his hand and with heavy breathes leaving his parted lips. His eyes flickering a burning flame to win. He playfully winked at her once their eyes met and started walking towards Jungkook to help him out. Y/n tensed, her whole face heating up to the point the back of her neck also heated up. Just how did he look so attractive while sweating?

Y/n tried to push away her thoughts but couldn't keep her eyes off him. She tried to keep cool but that seem impossible in this case.

Hoseok took a deep breath before lunging behind Jimin to catch him off guard. Jimin immediately ducked under, rolling away from the clash Jungkook and Hoseok were about to do. However, Hoseok caught himself while Jungkook there with wide eyes. Hoseok looked at Jungkook. Jungkook blinked seeing his Hyung's eyes so scary. His eyes burning a flame he's never seen before.

"Go for the legs. He might be fast but he's terrible at long distance battles. So head for the legs while I'll distract him, got it Kook?" Hoseok asked, twirling his sword in his hands. Jungkook smirked, also twirling his sword.

"You got it Hyung."

Jimin stood up, narrowing his eyes at the two. If anything Jimin was certainly surprised Hoseok defeated Yoongi by himself. But that wasn't gonna waver him. He's still one the best person to wield a sword in the camp. Jimin circled them, his fingers gripping his sword so tightly his knuckles turned white. Hoseok glared at Jimin, licking his dry lips as he stared down at Jimin. Now Jimin's focus was solely on him. Hoseok had to stop himself from smirking.

'Perfect.'

Hoseok attacked first, his sword immediately blocked by Jimin's. Jimin gritted through his teeth, trying to keep his sword away from his face.

"Really?! The same move?!" Jimin barked. Hoseok laughed with another heavy breathe leaving his lips.

"Nope! Jungkook now!"

Jungkook came from behind, kicking behind his knees causing his knees to fold and collapsed on the ground. Jimin didn't even have time to react from the impact and let his body fold into the ground. Hoseok and Jungkook above him with the tips of their swords pointing at him. Both with heaving chests and panting like a dog. Hoseok had a smug grin, confidence swirling in his brown eyes. Something Y/n hasn't seen, but boy did it make her heart pound in her chest.

"I win, Park."

"Jimin loses, Hoseok wins. He can now proceed to the next round."
