She’s flustered by his honesty, and Dong-man pleads with her, asking if she thinks about those things, too. He takes her hand in his.Īe-ra looks up, confused, and he says that when she looks at him like that, he sometimes wants to kiss her. He continues that even though he used to only think about things like putting her in a headlock and mooning her (hee), now whenever they touch, it feels like skinship. Dong-man says that somehow, he only saw her tonight in the arena, and that she’s becoming pretty to his eyes. He admits that she’s not the only one who’s feeling that way, and his previous cool falters a bit.
He leads her through the arena right past Hye-ran, and once alone, Dong-man asks if she’s holding his hand like that because she’s feeling fluttery. She tentatively holds out a finger which he grasps, teasing that she’s acting like such a girl. Ignoring the screaming crowd, Dong-man stands and offers his hand to Ae-ra. Ae-ra tearfully asks if he has to do this, and Dong-man smiles and says, “I’m in trouble. She flinches at the bell, but she can’t bear to look up and see Dong-man beaten to a pulp.īut a hand taps her knee and she opens her eyes to see him peering up at her, perfectly fine. After a few seconds she can’t take anymore and ducks her head, claps her hands over her ears, and waits for the horror to end. She sees Hye-ran enter surrounded by reporters, and then the fight starts.Īe-ra watches nervously as Dong-man takes some hard hits right at the beginning. She objects when one of them zooms in on Dong-man’s fine form, though Ae-ra is mostly upset that the woman plans to video Dong-man getting beat up. Round 9: “Youth is only youth when you cause trouble”Īe-ra sneaks into Dong-man’s fight, and she overhears the ladies sitting in front of her gushing over the new handsome fighter. It’s so refreshing to get all of the tropes I count on in a rom-com, but in a way that still manages to pleasantly surprise me. One of the best things about this show is that it gives you exactly what you want, just in a way you didn’t expect. Almost all of our friends experience bursts of positive growth, making decisions about their relationships that will permanently change their futures. I’ve been on pins and needles all week waiting to see what happens next, and I’m definitely not disappointed. 186 JJFight My Way: Episode 9 by LollyPip
