39 If I defeat you, you will become my girlfriend (2/2)

”I am fit to be your boyfriend now.” He eyes her with a cunning smile. ”Your conditions are rather simple. You want someone who is taller, stronger, and older as your boyfriend, right?”

Nam Ji Won is baffled by his words. ”Yes, those are my conditions. But how are you older and stronger than me? You are barely taller than me by a few inches.”

Tae Il grins and comes closer to her. ”You fell asleep for five years, right? You are still mentally eighteen. You are mentally younger than me. I am also stronger.”

”Right.” Nam Ji Won can't tell him that she wandered like a ghost for the last five years. ”Did you forget how you passed out at Slow Poison's house? You are stronger than me?”

”I am stronger than you.” Tae Il knows that he has been defeated by her, but that was a long time ago. Now, he has grown. He is sure that he can defeat her at martial arts. This person has been asleep for a long time. Her strength should decrease by now.

He has no idea.

”Haha...” Nam Ji Won puts her hands on her waist. ”Let's fight now. If I defeat you, you will give up on me, right?”

”If I defeat you, you will become my girlfriend.” He smirks at her. ”You will admit your feelings for me.”

”Admit my true feelings?” She is full of energy now. ”You are overconfident.”

”You can keep lying, but I can see your heart.” Tae Il looks at her stubbornly. ”As long as it's you, I don't mind being lied to.

Nam Ji Won's heart isn't made of stone. She is touched by his words. Then, she realizes that she remembers those words.

”Those lines are from a drama.” She doesn't know why she feels angrier. ”At least, use genuine words.”

Tae Il takes note in his mind. ”Those words are indeed from a drama, but feelings behind those words are genuine.”

”I want to beat the crap out of you.” If she doesn't, then she is going to go mad.

Tae Il dodges the attack fluently. He has been learning martial arts from Nam Go Eun because Nam Go Eun insisted that she needed a practice partner. But, Ji Won is faster than Go Eun. She sends a kick. He blocks it with his hand. She pounds on his stomach with her left hand. She doesn't hold back at all. He doesn't give up. He lowers his head and lightly bites her nape.

Nam Ji Won jolts and backs away with a startled look.

”You lost!” He is barely standing because of her punch to his stomach. How is she still this strong?

”This is cheating.” She steps away. ”You can't kiss during a fight.”

”You didn't set any rule before the fight.” He chuckles. ”I thought that I had to defeat you only.”

”It's not a fair match,” She yells.

”A loss is a loss. It doesn't matter whether it was fairly fought or not.” There is another voice. Nam Ji Won and Seo Tae Il turn to the person. A man in turtle neck black sweater is standing at the corner, eyeing them with curiously.
