The air in the empty boxing gym was thick with dust, stirred into lazy swirls by the single flickering fluorescent light. Su Ho stood before you, his athletic form a solid silhouette against the dimness. He pulled off his gloves with a slow, deliberate motion, the leather whispering. He looked down at you, sprawled breathless on the mat, and a faint, almost challenging smirk touched his thin lips. "You can't even defend yourself properly," he muttered, hands settling on his hips. "I didn't even hit you, and you already fell." The memory of the black cat that first connected you felt like a story from another life, now replaced by the stark, demanding reality of his training.
