Nathan is an engaged worldwide boxer, he is arrogant and aggressive but with a twisted secret causing his manager Sophie a lot of chaos every day, and one day she finds out about his secret but she definitely shouldn't have. Is the secret as dark as it sounds or is like it a blessing in disguise? "Goodnight Mr. Kim. You're gonna be fine, just give it a couple of days," I smiled as he kicked the slippers off and quickly hid under the covers. "Hm? How'd you know? You don't know about me," he teased, still a bit of slur in his voice as I shifted him a little to the side to sit beside him. I chuckled softly and shrugged. "Trust me, Mr. Kim, I might not know about you but I know about heartbreak. Someone will come along you know, to mend these pieces of your heart," he chuckled sadly and shook his head. "It's not my heart that I'm worried about Sophie." Typical but atypical.

PART ONE:  

~COMBATIVE~

He lost today. 

He had been winning all the matches since last year but he lost his streak today. I wonder what happened for him to be that distracted in the middle of a fight. With my chest heaving up and down vigorously out of fear, I enclosed my fingers around the handle of the waiting room and pushed it open with closed eyes. 

Big mistake, because there he was, in the same clothes from the fight, back visible to me. Even from the back of his head and shoulders, I could tell what was about to happen. His shoulders moved up and down due to how heavily he was breathing. I took small quiet steps till my knees touched the behind of the bench he was perched upon. 

"Sir?", his head snapped towards me in less than a second, gorgeous silver hair wet at the ends with sweat sticking to his forehead and dragon-like eyes red with fury. His nose flared with every angry pant of his lips and puff of his chest. I kept my heart which was clenching with fear, at bay and circled the bench till I was standing right next to him. 

His gaze never left mine as I extended a shaking hand towards him. He let his palm clammy with sweat rest in mine followed suit by the same action for the other palm. I gulped but smiled nonetheless, trying my best to not show him how scared I was as I sat down in front of him on my knees between his widely parted legs. I could sense that he was trying to fight the outburst that was bubbling up in his chest and chose not to question anything right now knowing how dangerous it could be. 

"Would you like to have something sweet?", I looked up at him as I tucked my finger under the white wraps around his palm slowly pulling out the part that had been tucked underneath. He too knew I was only asking it so he wouldn't feel the burn of the cloth against his bleeding scratches. Understanding that he wasn't willing to answer, I unwrapped the cloth from both his palms and turned them over to look at the knuckles. 

"Where is she?", his voice came out so vulnerable, so weak and so shaky that I would've mistaken him for an emotional man if I didn't know better. I clamped my lower lip between my teeth before puffing my cheeks out as I blew air out of them. He was getting impatient and honestly, it scared me a little too much. 

"Teressa left before the fight," I could feel him tense up even without opening my eyes since his almost double my size palm was still in mine. With a firm heartbeat, I opened my eyes and found him staring upwards with a clenched jaw and I almost thought he was crying for a moment but he couldn't be crying, right? He was the toughest person I knew. 

He took in a deep breath through his nostrils, the anger evident in his neck and eyes snatching his palm away from me starting to get up but I quickly latched my fingers through his left hand pulling him back down with all my strength. He gave me a questioning look and I silently pleaded for him to sit down. He knew I had reached my limit today and there was no way I'd be able to handle another one of his tantrums especially tonight so he let himself fall on the bench listening to me. 

"I'm gonna be applying antiseptic, squeeze my hands if it gets too much," I warned pulling the box out from under his left leg and he nodded quietly. As tough and emotionless as he was, Nathan couldn't handle smaller problems like getting his thrashed wounds treated but who was I to complain, it was fun, you know, to watch the person I feared so much be so under my control even if it was for a minute. 

"I saw your uppercut today. Impressive," I commented as I slowly let the cotton dab against the wounds while I help his hand as if about to kiss it like a prince. He didn't say anything, he never did when he was angry so I let it go and pressed the cotton against all his knuckles one by one. By the third one, I felt my hand being squeezed so I stopped and looked up at him. 

"Hurts?", I asked him in a low whisper but he just squeezed my hand again so I ceased all movements and softly patted his forearm trying to calm him down. I whispered a string of 'there, there's before proceeding to repeat the process all over again in both his hands. 

I got up from my knees and dusted my pants before taking a step closer and he leaned back on the bench after brushing his hair with his fingers, giving me enough access to his face and jaw. This one was an easy task, it didn't hurt as much in the face so I quickly finished treating him. 

"C'mon, I'll take you home," I said keeping the kit away and grabbing his clothes for him to wear. He held both his injured arms up and I quickly bunched the material together pulling it over his head and then through both his arms. He slipped his feet into his flip-flops and stood up keeping completely mum about everything. 

I picked up his bag and walked beside him to the car that was parked across the street for the three of us but unfortunately there were only two of us here. He glanced back at me over his shoulder and again walked back ahead, for a second I thought he wanted to say something but I guess not. With another sigh, I slid open the door for him to enter looking left and right for any tails. 

"What are you doing here now?", I jumped up slightly my eyes darting back and forth between Teressa sitting in the middle of the seat and Nathan standing by my side with his fists clenched, veins protruding out of his forearms. There was no going back now. He was gonna cause a scene again and I was not ready for another one so soon. 

I whined to myself silently and placed a hand on his tensed up back nudging him forward so he sits inside before he starts yelling or she does. He understands, immediately stuffing himself on the seat opposite to her. I placed his bag next to Teressa and climbed in myself, perching down next to Nathan. She looked at me with a scowl and I gave her a blank look, the feeling of hatred between the two of us more than visible and mutual. 

I had nothing against her till the day she pushed me down to the floor leading to a bruised knee and pride.

 He ran a hand through his hair looking at her and then at me. 

"Why are you here now? Was sleeping with my best friend not enough that you're back here?", His tone was louder than last time and she didn't hold back either. 

"I told you it was a mistake, he was too drunk to function properly!", she yelled slapping her hands against the leather seats. Nathan growled lowly, face turning red with anger. 

"He was drunk but you weren't and I trust him enough to know that he would never make a move on you!", I could tell by his voice that his throat was aching and he was struggling. 

"Oh come on! I said it was a mistake! I've done so much for you till now, you can't possibly break our engagement because of this!" I flinched in my seat because of how loud and stupid she was. He took notice of my cringing face but didn't comment on it. 

"Get out of the car, I'm not letting you ruin my life over and over again." After this sentence, I tapped the driver's shoulder and he pulled the car to the side in a second. She scoffed at my behavior and I smiled graciously before sliding the door open and gesturing for her to leave.

"I wasn't planning on staying anyway, we both know this was all for mom and dad!" Teressa screamed stumbling out of the car in her heels before snatching her purse from the seat. I quickly closed the door and hopped onto the seat in front of him. 

"Fuck!", he cursed under his breath before slamming the side of his fist on the car door. It wasn't new or unexpected to me but the driver was still scared so he swerved the car slightly after jumping in his seat and I held back a snicker at that. Nathan held his head in both his hands constantly slapping the left side out of frustration making me sigh. 

I slid forward in my seat till my knees were in between his spread-out legs and he was in my range of touch. As much as I knew him, he wouldn't act up with me being too close so I placed a hand on his knee and his eyes shot up to me quickly. 

"You know, for such a small woman you sure can take a lot of fights without being scared," he commented when I slid the stress-relieving ball in his left palm while the right one was in my hold. I chuckled slightly nodding along and pulled back when I knew he was stable enough to carry on his own. 

"I've learned to do so, sir. You've been an awfully good teacher," I said with a cheeky smile and he too let out a hoarse chuckle before he quickly traced his hand back to his throat with a pained expression. 

"Sophie, I think I'm gonna have to retire at this rate," I gasped out of surprise and placed my fingers against his lips without thinking much of my actions and vigorously shook my head. I was never good at boxing or any other sport but I looked up to Mr. Kim greatly, he was just so hardworking and tough, I aspired to be just like him. 

I adored him. Every part of him.

"Please Mr. Kim, don't joke around about such matters," I scolded backtracking my hand from his lips and huffing out with crossed arms."I-I, u-uh, okay," he pursed his lips together with a red face which I assumed must be from his previous anger. "Right, you're right.""Of course, I am. You're just twenty-four right now, we have eleven years till retirement," I stated in a matter-of-factly tone and he just nodded in response quietly."We're here," the driver announced as soon as the car came to a halt and Nathan quickly opened the door rushing out, probably exhausted. I rolled my eyes, shoved the ball back into the bag, and jumped down waddling behind him. He looked over his shoulders again but kept walking straight ahead. A bunch of his servants greeted us at the main door and I bowe

"Nathan," He greeted Mr.Kim back with a mischievous glint in his eyes and I knew all too well that Mr. Min was very good at provoking people without even letting it affect him in the slightest. He was quite a smart man, almost as smart as Mr. Kim himself."Why do you people like to annoy me?", he asked in a hard tone and my eyes widened. He was never cold to Mr. Min and he too knew that Mr. Min wasn't the one who was at fault."Why are you getting annoyed? I'm just here to patch things up between us," he stated calmly springing back up to his feet and sighing. The aura in the room was a little too cold and unusually calm for my liking. It signified only two things: either both the boys were going to patch up or Mr. Kim was about to jump Mr. Min any coming second and I was ready to prevent anything from happening.

"Yes Mr. Kim, everything is perfectly fine," he chuckled twisting his neck from side to side till he heard the satisfying pop of his bones cracking. The car came to a halt and I didn't think twice before jumping to check for any cameras around while Mr. Kim put on his face mask since the gym was still a minute's walk away. He got down and followed my lead once I had gestured for him to do so."Mr. Kim, I think you should take a break from practice today. I mean, you should maybe go out with a friend or something after working out," I suggested without looking back at him."I don't have such friends Miss Y/n but sure I could use a break," he mumbled facing downwards as he walked behind me aimlessly since he knew I would lead him anyway."Yeah. You've been overworking yourself, maybe I'l

"Mr. Kim?", I called out in a soft voice intertwining my fingers behind my back and peeking from his side. he inhaled sharply and turned back with a blank expression."Are you upset?", I ask him even though it was a very lame conversation starter since I was already aware of that. He didn't reply, he just shrugged and stretched before dropping to the ground on his knees, taking a stance for pushups."Sir," I called out again as sweetly as I could and he hummed starting with his push-ups, completely ignoring that I was trying to talk to him. I silently stomped my feet and frowned."Mr. Kim, why are you ignoring me?", I asked a little louder and he gave me a side glance but faced forward again. I whined and walked across sitting in front of him with my legs crossed so he wouldn't be able

"Stop fighting with me Sophie, you know I'm not myself around you."He teased, grinning slightly as his calloused and bruised fingertips brushed over my arm slowly traveling upwards till he slid it between the gap of my elbow and the dip of my waist, encircling it with one veiny muscular forearm. He hummed softly pulling me flush against his naked torso and dipped his nose in the crook of my neck."Mr. Kim," I half moaned, half gasped when I felt his nose rub against my sweet spot and my feet being lifted off the ground as the curvature of his back straightened slightly. My hands found their way to his bicep and around his neck and I knew damn well that if my feet were on the ground, I'd collapse immediately."Fuck, you smell sweet," he growled against my neck almost like it was a thre

"Oh? That's good to hear Mr. Jung, I haven't met Jimin in quite some time," I said folding my hands in front of me. He nodded curtly with a faint smile on his beautiful face."He's been eager to hang out with you too, I remember how you both used to play around with Yeon while we three practiced together. Ah, it feels like such a long time when it's only been a year. If only, he hadn't met that b- I mean hadn't met Teressa," I too sighed as the memories of the six of us going around in the same car for practice and matches had me closing my eyes for a moment."It'll be back to the same very soon sir, I know Mr. Kim, he wouldn't be able to survive without Mr. Min and you for too long. Also now that Teressa is no longer in the picture, I'm pretty sure we'll all hang out again," I said running a quick hand through my hair.

He raised an eyebrow but complied, resting his head on my shoulder and I wrapped my arm around his shoulders although barely but manageable. He hummed wiggling slightly to find a comfortable angle."Mr. Kim? Can I ask you something?", I said softly stroking his back as I spoke."Yes Miss Sophie, you can ask me anything," I hummed zoning out and rested the side of my face on top of his head slightly leaning against it."How are you? And I don't wanna hear 'I'm fine, what would happen to me'," I said mocking his deep denying tone and he chuckled softly starting to speak."Honestly? I'm miserable. I don't even think of why I'm doing what I'm doing," he chuckled again but sardonically and I sighed nodding to encourage him to speak more.

"Here you go," I laid one of my palms flat against his chest while using the other one to pick my glass up. I watched as he held my gaze slowly pushing my body towards him, so I kept my glass away, expecting another peck on the cheek or neck but he stopped just an inch away breathing heavily and I sucked in mine nervously."Oh, I- I just wanted to taste y-your drink," he whispered and I almost rolled my eyes in front of him but because of habit, I did a great job in hiding my disappointment with a small smile."Sure Mr. Kim, I know you so well, I knew you wanted to taste my 'drink'," I said pushing my glass towards his as I emphasized the word 'drink'. He cleared his throat awkwardly turning his head to the drink and gulped it down in one go out of nervousness. I laughed as he dunked down his own drink too.

As I looked at him standing there, right in front of me, a very slight sense of Deja vu channeled through me but a lopsided smile stretched my lips so I could cover it. Everything with Nathan felt like a mistake in the beginning but I never learned. I never understood how it all could come crashing down in a minute. A word, a sentence, a touch, one single thing could change everything between us for the future as well. Who knew if he was going to wake up and want to date me or I was going to regret this the next morning?All that mattered was that I was here in this moment, with him, despite the consequences of it.With one last kiss, he stepped away from the wall with me in his arms and turned to his bedroom not even bothering about anything else. I smile as I stare at his clashed brows, lips trying to chase mine but I kept backing awa
