Zack didn't have many close friends. He was one of the more popular third-year students at Jae Won High and although the fame that surrounded him due to his boxing elevated his status it didn't mean people liked him. He was quick to anger, Zack knows that not many people can deal with his emotions like Mira and Johan can. He also used to be a bully, hurting and borderline tormenting those that he saw as weaker than him. He may have changed since his first year days but It doesn't excuse what he's done, especially since he never did get to apologise to Jiho before he ran away. Nowadays he lives with that regret.

So despite being popular, Zack doesn't have many people whom he can call good friends who understand him. Sure there was Zoe, Doo, Han and Kay, he hung out with them because they couldn't seem to leave him alone but they were just regular friends. Vasco and Jace on the other hand, were two people who helped him get over himself and his weakness…the two who punched some sense back into him before he lost Mira for good because of how he acted, he would never tell them to their faces but he would consider them close friends. They helped him and he in turn found respect for the two Burn Knuckle members, as annoying as they could be on occasions.

Seeing Jace go through what he had against Channing ignites a fire within Zack that he didn't think he would feel. Channing hadn't been fighting fairly, not that the CC ever really has fair fights. It was a dirty ring with even dirtier owners but what he just witnessed was one of the more cruller fights. The only fight that topped this was Olly vs Darius but even Zack knew there was a deeper meaning underneath that fight.

Jacky on the other hand was different to Channing. He didn't radiate the same cruelty Instead, he smiled and excitedly looked around the arena.

"Wow, Channing screwed me over in terms of popularity. He left me to the dogs" Jacky murmurs with a soft pout, his eyes scanning the arena that was screaming profanities about his crew Ansan Public. "But I swear, we're not all like him" He huffs before his eyes spot something,

"OH! HUDSON! HI! TAKE A PHOTO OF ME!" Jacky calls out to his leader.

Zack turns to see the blonde sighing into his hand before pulling out his phone to indulge his crew member. Yeah, Jacky and Channing definitely didn't have the same personality but whether or not they both fought the same was a different story.

Zack didn't agree to use weapons and Jacky hadn't asked. This meant that it would be a straightforward fist vs fist battle. Just how Zack preferred.

"You're new to the CC too right? This is your second fight?" Jacky inquires as he approaches Zack who frowns at him. "Let's have a good fight, no hard feelings or anything afterwards right?" Jacky asks and Zack sighs.

"You talk a lot," He grunts. His fury for Jace was still present. He's not a part of the Burn Knuckles but they along with himself represent J High, they were his friends and so it was his duty to give Vasco some reprieve for what happened.

Goo calls for the fight to start and Zack takes his usual boxing stance, immediately sending a straight punch since Jacky had been stupid enough to get so close to him. He was surprised when instead of meeting flesh he was met with air.

"What the hell?" Zack calls, bewildered as he stares at Jacky who had instead of side-stepping or blocking the punch was bent backwards. As if he didn't have a spine, a laugh was heard.

"Oh yeah it would be unfair for me to know that you're a boxer without you knowing anything about me" Jacky calls and suddenly Zack feels pain coursing through his body. Jacky had sent a kick and it landed perfectly against his shoulder and neck. "I'm a gymnast" The shorter boy coos excitedly.

Snapping out of his surprise Zack sends a flurry of his own punches but Jacky merely dodges and weaves through it expertly.

"Hold still, bitch!" Zack shouts, irritated by all the constant moving. Zack knows that his fighting style and punches weren't slow so for Jacky to dodge all of his moves meant that the guy was much faster.

"You're such a polite fighter, sticking to boxing and only boxing when your friend was just maimed. You know there's no referee right?" Jacky taunts.

Zack grunts as he keeps trying to land a hit.

"Want to know something?" Jacky asks and before Zack can register it, the shorter man headbutts him in the face. "I'm way stronger than Channing" He giggles and it irritates Zack.

"Shut up!" Zack growls, feeling the blood pour down from his nose only for his shoulders to be grabbed. Staring up in surprise, Jacky uses his body like a spring board, lifting himself off the ground into a handstand.

"Channing likes to fight dirty but as for me, well I'm purely just strong!" Jacky grins before using his knees to send Zack crashing into the concrete floor.

"Fuck" Zack groans, his torso throbbing in pain. He distantly hears Goo commentating on the fight and Jacky muttering something about this not being a satisfying fight.

The hit hurt like a motherfucker, he was sure that Jacky potentially bruised his ribs but as he lays on the floor he could only think of one thing.

"Hah, I've had worse" He huffs to no one in particular, opening his eyes to stare at the blinding lights that were located on the ceiling.

"Huh? Did you say something?" Jacky calls as he turns around to look at Zack, surprised to see Zack still conscious. He was even more surprised to see Zack sitting up, brushing off his shirt as if he wasn't in any pain. It was a bluff, of course, it hurt but he didn't need Jacky to see it.

"I said I've had worse" Zack restates as he stands up.

Jacky was a good fighter and he was strong, he gave the kid props for that. He wasn't dirty like Channing and he was a skilled gymnast but even so, that didn't mean he was better. Jacky was ten times weaker than Johan in every single aspect and Zack had spent the better part of the last couple of years getting his ass beat by his childhood friend.

When Johan had beaten him all those years ago during the boxing match Zack knew that the brunette's raw talent was way better than any hard work he would put in. So he gave up boxing professionally because no matter how much he trained he knew he'd never beat someone like Johan. Then Vasco and Jace taught him better and he came to realise something.

There was a chance that he could beat people with talent if he trained but there wasn't a chance at all if he didn't. So he went back to his teacher and worked on himself. Not long after he met Johan again, it was under strange circumstances and he should have been pissed at the brunette for beating him up the last time they saw each other and leaving without a single word yet instead he ran up to him and embraced him. Threw his hands over the brunette before he could even register who was doing it.

Johan had been confused, angry and annoyed. He had tried throwing Zack off him but the moment he realised that Zack had been crying he stopped.

'Where the hell have you been? Do you realise how worried Mira and your mother have been? How worried I've been? I've missed you!' he had confessed and Johan had given up trying to get him off.

They talked. Johan told him about how he was going to join the CC to get money to pay for his mother's hospital bills and surgery. He told him about how Gun saw him beating up some people to steal their money and had immediately taken an interest and trained him for a while. He told him about his plan to overtake God Dogs and make it his own. Zack had been worried but he knew if anyone could do it, it would be Johan.

They kept in touch after that, Zack making Johan promise that he would message him at least once a week to say that he was alive and fine.

Soon enough Johan did start fighting in the CC and Zack watched. At first, it was only through the streams but once Mira caught wind of it they went to see it in person. Then Mira started volunteering and Zack knew he couldn't let her go to the CC alone without him there. He was too proud to volunteer as a medic and he also didn't think he was smart enough to do all the fancy things they did, so he kept an eye out from the stands. It gave him a view of both Mira and occasionally Johan when he fought.

And boy was it a great view.

The jealousy that Zack harboured against Johan's talent melted into awe. Eventually, he was messaging challenges to Johan.

'Come by the gym, fight me'

He sent that message everyday for two weeks before Johan eventually showed up.

'You're just asking to be beaten up, you know that right? You're no match for me' Johan had huffed haughtily.

'I know I'm not right now but teacher has taught me all he knows and now I have to learn elsewhere. Maybe if you keep beating me up I'll get better'

'You'll have to change and grow as a fighter a lot if you want to beat me. It's going to be painful' Johan retorted.

'Change is painful, Growth is also painful but what hurts more than both is staying the same as I've always been. Please help me, Johan"

Johan had huffed about how dumb it was but when they started 'sparring' he never held back his punches. So of course Johan's strength in comparison to Jacky's was unmatched.

Zack had been taking Johan's punches and training for over a year at this point. He wasn't going to lose to some gymnast from Ansan, not when his spirit had yet to be beaten by Johan.

"Excuse me?" Despite Jacky's smile, his voice held offence.

"Are you deaf? You're not that strong compared to Johan" Zack grits out, his stance shifting slightly as he glares at Jacky. "Also, you haven't even won yet. Why are you walking away from me?" He asks and Jacky's eyes widen.

"Tch, for someone with no talent you sure are annoying!" Jacky shouts before running and performing a flying front flip kick. Although it lands, Zack doesn't let him go.

Taking the hit he bites Jacky's exposed ankle, making the brat cry out in pain.

"What the hell?!" Jacky shouts. "That's disgusting!"

"Doesn't matter, there are no referees" Zack snorts.

Taking that as a distraction, Zack grabs him by the waist and immediately slams him head-first into the concrete with all his strength.

Jacky groans from underneath him, disorientated from being thrown and just as he was blinking his eyes to adjust he catches sight of a fist. The hit lands, blood splurts out and the concrete around Jacky's shudders but doesn't crack.

"Hey, brat" Zack calls and Jacky opens his eyes, fear emanating from the gaze. "What happened to that boyish, happy-go-lucky attitude from before? Where's that smile?" Zack asks as he lifts a fist again.

Eyes widening, Jacky chokes out.

"W-wait! I can't move!" He shouts.

"Not my problem" Zack shrugs as he swings his arms down.

"I yield!" Jacky cries and just before Zack can make an impact he stops. Letting out a sigh he pulls away and nods.

"Good, then this fight is over" The crowd goes wild at the unexpected turn of events and victory. "And unlike your friend, I won't torment someone that's already defeated" Zack mentions just as James calls the results of the fight and people move past him to get to Jacky.

"You alright?" Doctor Park asks, hand placed on his shoulder as he comes to stand in front of him.

"I'm good, help Jacky since he's far more injured" Zack urges and although Daniel looks reluctant to help someone from Public after the Channing incident he does move forward to do so.

Since he doesn't need a stretcher, Zack walks back to the medical set up just as he did the first time around and instantly he's pulled into a hug by Mira.

"I'm so glad you're ok" She states warmly and Zack returns the embrace.

"So am I, although I think my ribs are bruised so don't hug me too tight" Zack teases and Mira lets go to inspect him. Nurse Hong or Jay, comes by to check on his condition and he allows the blonde to do his job. As both Mira and Jay are fussing over him he turns to look back into the Arena, making eye contact with the one person he knows is still watching him.

Johan lets out a huff, crosses his arms and looks away in contentment. The brunette would never admit it but Zack knew he had been worried. Turning back to the two medical experts, he turns to see Daniel tending to Jacky and having him rate the pain in his neck before moving his gaze to see Vasco still holding onto Jace.

Zack nods at Vasco and in return, the Burn Knuckles member also nods.

Zack had won his battle, he's lived to see what becomes of Channing after today.

.

.

.

Daniel sent Jacky off with a couple of bandages and some pain meds. Zack hadn't broken any of his bones or his neck so the Public member would be just fine. Despite the boxer's victory, it didn't lessen the anger Daniel felt towards Channing. Jace deserved better than what happened but of course, there wasn't anything the Doctor could do to change what had already happened.

The fights for the night had ended and Daniel had finished cleaning up the medical bay with the other volunteers and employees. Dismissing them before heading outside for a breather. Gun had been honest when he said that if the fights went too far then one of the Founder's would interfere yet all that happened was James ordering Channing to stop and the fighter refusing to listen to him. How was that action? Their solution simply wasn't fast enough and overall, it wasn't good enough.

He was annoyed and he was sure Gun knew this after he had sent that look to the Founder.

"My neck hurts, Hudson!" A whine was heard.

"Maybe if you had fought harder you would have won and it wouldn't be hurting" A grating voice replies.

Turning the corner he catches sight of the Public Ansan trio.

"Shut up, Channing. I don't want to hear that sort of thing from someone who now has the whole CC hating on him" Jacky replies.

"Haters are gonna hate but at the end of the day I won, that's more than what you achieved" Channing sneers in return.

"Enough you two, Channing you went too far and Jacky you underestimated your opponent. Enough's said. We came to Seoul to open our store and promote it, we also came to get revenge for our former leader. Today was not supposed to be on our agenda" Hudson tells the two off before he catches sight of Daniel lurking not too far away. "Doctor" He nods, smiling at him in the same flirtatious way he had during their first meeting.

All the butterflies from his words, appearance and touches had soured since Channing's fight. Instead of fluttery and flushed warmth, he felt a detached coldness, something that he shouldn't specifically blame Hudson for but at the end of the day the people you hang out with were a reflection of your own values and opinions. Currently, Hudson didn't seem to see any problems with how Channging had acted. Pulling something out of his pocket, Daniel marches up to Hudson and slaps the object into his chest.

"You can take this back" Daniel hisses as Hudson catches the card. He frowns.

"What's changed?" Hudson asks. "Not interested anymore?"

"I'm not interested in people who can't control their men and allow their 'friends' to act in such distasteful ways" Daniel shrugs as he shoots a glare at Channing.

"The way you grabbed me earlier still hurts, Doctor" Channing calls, lips forming a sneer but Daniel ignores his words.

"I'm not interested in running a dictatorship, my men are free to act how they please without me micromanaging them, this isn't an autocratic system" Hudson justifies and Daniel scoffs at the business talk.

"As his friend and leader, it is your moral obligation to ensure that he acts correctly. The only reason he has this sort of attitude is because no one has ever held him accountable before. Grow up, be a man and make him accountable because what he did to Jace was disgusting. If the crowds at the CC of all places, people who like bloodshed and carnage also agree with my sentiment then you know he went too far" Daniel hisses.

"Oh please, what's up your ass, Doctor? You have no right to be talking about me or to Hudson in such a way. I ought to teach you a lesson" Channing moves forward and Hudson quickly grabs him by the shoulder.

"Channing, you've done enough today" Hudson scolded and his vice was shocked.

"You're seriously siding with this twerp?" Channing squawks out, baffled by his leader's opinion.

"He better be, because if you lay a finger on the Doctor I'll do more than threaten you with a suspension" A new voice enters the scene and heads turn to catch sight of Gun walking towards them. His figure and aura were much more serious and intimidating than what Daniel was used to.

"Excuse me, Suspension?" Channing calls out in confusion. "Are you all seriously that butthurt about what I did to that big-eared fool? I thought the CC was supposed to be a serious, hardcore fight club that doesn't have limits" He calls and Daniel just about has an aneurysm from holding himself back.

"You're right, we are but I'm not here to talk about your actions against Jace Park. I'm here to talk about how you disobey direct orders from James. Seeing as Public is new around here and this is your first fight James decided to let you off on a warning but the next time you refuse to listen to us and act out again you will be suspended" Gun explains.

"Oh, I'm so relieved that the great James Lee is so forgiving" Channing mocks and Gun grits his teeth.

"Channing that's enough" Hudson calls again, pulling his vice back to his side. "I apologise for his behaviour, he's still high from his win, therefore, he's been acting like an asshole more than usual" The leader admits much to his friend's chagrin and Gun grunts at the admission.

"As Doctor Park said, keep him in line or else I'll do it for you" Gun threatens.

"I don't take orders from you" Hudson's eyes narrow and Gun snorts.

"Who do you take them from? Taesoo Ma? As far as I'm aware your former leader abandoned you all and left for a life in the wild because he couldn't stand the fact that he lost a fight, his honour, turf and became disfigured" Gun sneers and something about the Founder's words must have pissed Hudson off because the blonde marches towards the taller and attempts to shove him back. Even Channing and Jacky had gasped.

Gun didn't move an inch and he looked down at Hudson with a smirk. Even if there was only a small difference between their heights.

"Oh, did something I say strike a nerve?" He taunts as Hudson shoves his index finger into Gun's chest.

"Keep his name out of your mouth, you lot don't deserve to say it. You know nothing about him" Hudson growls when Gun grabs the finger, crushing it tightly within his grip. Hudson winces.

"Yeah, what are you going to do if I don't?" Gun jeers.

There was a tense moment between the two, Daniel, Jacky and Channing staring back and forth between the Founder and the leader. Eventually, it's Hudson who grits out a couple of words.

"I challenge you to a duel in the arena" He hisses.

There was a pause before eventually, Gun let go of his hand and threw his head back to laugh at the words.

" You? You want to challenge me to a fight? It's laughable how you think you have any chance at winning against me" Gun leers and Hudson growls.

"Fight me so you can prove that you're superior. If you win against me I'll keep my men in their place and have Channing apologise to Jace, I'll even pay for him to either get the tattoos lasered off or have it covered up" Hudson announces. "I'll even swallow my pride and apologise on behalf of Public Ansan, right on my arms and knees" He adds.

Gun hums at the words, thinking it through before answering.

"As intriguing as the offer is and no matter how much I want to put you in your place, I'm going to deny the request" Gun replies, a cocky smile on his lips. "If you want to fight me then you'll have to get in line and make do like everyone else. Wait for the next tournament and if you're strong enough to beat everyone else then getting the opportunity to fight me should be easy. Shouldn't it?" He explains and Hudson grunts, backing away from Gun as he grits his teeth. He was disappointed but it was an answer he expected.

"I'll do it instead, as long as those same terms are upheld" Daniel voices before he can stop himself and heads turn to the Doctor.

"Huh?" Hudson blurts out and the Doctor clicks his tongue in annoyance.

"A couple days ago you said you wanted to fight me, well you've pushed my buttons enough at this point. I'll fight you and if I win then you'll do all those things you promised" Daniel insists and with the new turn of events it causes everyone to gape. Hudson's surprise wears off and immediately he starts grinning.

"Yeah, what's in it for me if I win?" Hudson asks, moving to tower over Daniel.

"What do you want from me?" Daniel retorts.

Public's leader takes a moment to think before replying.

"If I win I want you to come by our club, spend the day with me. We can get acquainted" Hudson states and Daniel raises a brow.

"That's all?" The request was odd and it probably held a different motive. "Sounds like a date" He states plainly and Hudson nods.

"That's exactly it. Think of it as a date" Hudson states and Daniel stares at the taller male passively. "You're not going to back out on me, are you?" He taunts and Daniel sighs.

"What are the terms and conditions of weapons usage?" Daniel asks, unsure if Hudson is the type to whip out a tattoo gun like his vice or raw dog it by just using his fists.

"I don't care about weapons, you can bring as many weapons to our fight as you want and I'd still win with just my fists. I know that I don't need a weapon to beat you" The Public leader announces and Daniel takes another moment to think.

"Fine, I agree to the terms" He holds out a hand and Hudson shakes it firmly before letting go. "I'll see you then" Daniel turns around and walks away, passing by a shocked Gun who was staring between the Doctor and Hudson before he was grunting leaving as well.

"You sure you want to be doing that? Didn't you say that you wouldn't ever be fighting in the arena ever again?" Gun asks and Daniel rolls his eyes.

"I did but he's forced my hand" The doctor responds casually. "I'm surprised you let me do that, you're not worried I'll get my ass beat?" He asks, causing the elder to snort back a laugh.

"Worried about you losing? Hell no" The casual confidence that Gun had in Daniel was empowering. "Although If you do lose I'll be the one beating your ass" Gun adds and the Doctor sighs.

"Training is going to suck this week, isn't it?"

"You bet your ass it will"

.

Daniel may have read Hudson's file; it didn't mean that he understood how strong the leader was. In terms of fighting prowess, Hudson didn't put down any particular martial art style so Daniel could only assume it was some form of street fighting. As the rest of the weekend's fights finished off, the Doctor came to the realisation that he really did sign up to fight.

He hadn't told anyone else about what he had gone and done. Not Jay, not Mira, not the Burn Knuckles or Zack. When Monday came by he submitted his request to James, the Founder had been shocked by it but didn't voice his concerns.

'I'm looking forward to seeing how the nurture genius has nurtured you'

That was all he had said, cryptic and ominous as ever. However, as he left the office he ran into Goo of all people who immediately latched onto him.

"Hey Doc! Gun told me about your situation!" The blonde calls, throwing an arm around his neck. "You have balls, Doc. I mean, after the first time I saw you fight I didn't think you'd ever get challenged or challenge someone like ever and yet here you are ready to defend your friend's honour. Real cool of you, Miracle Doctor" The blonde squawks as he directs Daniel back to his room.

"Uh…thanks?" Daniel has only ever interacted with Goo a handful of times, and of those times he's never been alone. "Uh, where are we going?" He questions and the Founder chuckles.

"Well you're going to get changed, duh. We're going on a nice, long run" Goo answers easily and Daniel frowns.

"Why?"

"What do you mean 'why?' I'm helping you get ready for your fight. Gun was adamant that you get in all the training you can before you go against Ansan's sun. In all honesty I've never seen him so biased on one person winning before" He chuckles and Daniel sighs.

"Gun put you up to this? Listen, Goo you don't need to do this. I can take care of myself and after all the training that Gun and I have done at night-" "WAIT! So Gun has been training you?!" Goo lets go, moving to stand face-to-face with the Doctor.

"He didn't tell you?" Daniel inquires and the blonde shakes his head vigorously.

"He did not. That asshole just told me to help you out during the mornings, I had no idea he was helping you during the nights. Why the hell is he so worried if he's been training you for…for…how long has he been training you?" Goo shrieks.

"Uh, I think a couple months at this point, after my fight with Ryohei" Daniel shrugs and Goo slaps a hand to his forehead.

"I should have known when he started coming home later than usual. I just thought he was going out to see that girl from the club to get laid" Goo blurts and it causes Daniel to narrow his eyes.

"Excuse me?"

"Nevermind that, Doc this training that Gun's been giving you…I'm surprised you haven't backed out yet. All of that freaks other students usually reach about six months before quitting. Also the fact that you've survived for so long…you really are special" Goo rattles on and Daniel couldn't help but feel a headache growing.

"So why are you here to help me? Aren't you supposed to be busy?" He asks again and this time Goo is just as sceptical.

"The Chairman is on a private trip for the week. He made it clear that he didn't want me along so I'm free all week. Gun on the other hand is still guarding the Chairman's daughter so he's still busy. I guess if he wants you to be trained in the mornings and nights it either means he wants to kill you or he cares about you" At this conclusion, Goo's gaze narrows onto Daniel as if he was attempting to decipher something.

"Then I guess he really hates me" Daniel sighs, waving off the accusations the blonde was throwing at him. "So how can you help me? I might as well accept it since you're here offering it"

It takes a moment for Goo's serious face to drop.

"I'm the weapon's genius and I'm a super strong fighter, there's loads of ways in which I can give you help. I also know a lot about Public and specifically Taesoo Ma so let's get this show on the road. Let's train!" Goo shouts and the loud individual makes Daniel flinch away from him.

"Alright, alright" Daniel agrees even though he knows he'll regret it.

"By the way, your late-night training with Gun is totally about fighting and not a euphemism for anything…right?" Goo asks. "Because that guy is totally interested in both men and women. You gotta watch yourself, Doc or else he'll pounce on you" He warns and Daniel snorts.

"Yeah, yeah. Thanks for the warning"

.

.

.

The fight was scheduled for Sunday, the least busy CC day compared to the others and the news about it wasn't posted online. Daniel had been confused as to why and when he had asked Goo the blonde simply shrugged and stated.

'James probably wants it to be a surprise. Also, he's been trying to increase viewership on Sunday's and with you competing as a surprise on the night the amount of trending tags we'll get on different social media will be through the roof and the online viewership will probably also pop off'

Which Daniel found understandable but was also a little peeved seeing as his fight was at the very end of the list, there was no way viewers were going to stick around for the surprise. The only reason it was on the last day and would be last was due to his position as the medical practitioner. He wouldn't be able to help others if he was injured in a fight.

"That's the last fighter of the night" Mira announces as she sends the Workers member on his way and turns back to Daniel who had finished writing down the list of injuries for the night. Jay approaches him to pass his notes over and the other volunteers slump in their spots, exhausted after a full night of work.

"Hold onto that for now" Daniel states evenly with a smile causing Jay to pause and tilt his head questioningly.

Daniel turns around and settles his belongings down on a table before he starts taking off his coat.

"AVID WATCHERS OF THE CC ARENA! WE HAVE A SURPRISE FOR YOU ALL!" Goo's voice thundered through the arena and the crowd that had been ready to start leaving turned to the Founder. "A SPECIAL LAST MINUTE MATCH UP!" He roars and this time the crowd's interest is piqued.

"Another fight? Are you kidding me?" One of the volunteers groans.

"As if we haven't worked long enough, now we're doing overtime? We're not even getting paid" Another individual groans and it gets Daniel thinking about their situation.

Despite the volunteers not being professionally trained they did good work. There were times when they gave him attitude but otherwise, they worked hard even if they got some things wrong. If anything, Daniel would say that he whipped them into shape. Perhaps he could convince James to change their titles from volunteers to casual workers so they got paid for their efforts.

"I wonder what this is all about" Mira voices as she comes to stand by Daniel's side, Jay stands by his other side.

"It's nothing too worrisome" Daniel states and the brunette turns to him.

"You know what they organised?" She questions. "But it wasn't even listed online, did they tell you who's fighting because you're the Doctor?" Mira continues to ask and Daniel smiles.

"Something like that" He replies before taking out his keys and phone from his pants pockets. Maybe he shouldn't have worn suit pants to a fight. "Jay, can you hold onto this for the moment?" Daniel requests, passing the items to the blonde who takes them with a confused look.

'What are you doing?' He seems to ask and Mira hums in agreement with the question.

Flashing them both a grin, Daniel turns to the group of volunteers.

"Alright everyone there's one last fight for tonight and then we'll be free for the rest of the week. Let's remain vigilant in our work and ensure that the safety of the fighters is well monitored. This means that everyone should be up and watching" He calls, attempting to encourage them to participate.

"Come on Doctor Park, it's just going to be the same thing we've been watching for the past couple of hours. Besides, we've got you to remain vigilant so we can relax can't we?" Someone whines and Daniel chuckles.

"Sir, if you want us to remain vigilant, why the hell are you dressed down right now? Shouldn't you practise what you preach?" Someone else jokes.

"To answer both questions it's because I won't be here with you guys" He states and this time alarm rings through their faces.

"Doctor Park? Where are you going?" Mira asks just as James' voice sounds through the speakers.

"I would say that this matchup is one of the more interesting fights we've had for the night, perhaps even for the month" James states evenly. "It certainly took me by surprise, isn't that right, Goo, Gun?" He questions the other two founders.

"Came straight out of left field, not that I'm complaining about it. If anything I'm more hyped than I've been all night" Laughs Goo.

"It will certainly be an exciting fight so make sure to share about it online so your friends and the community don't miss this match" Gun drones on, as if he was forced into saying the line to market the fight.

At this point, the inquisitive buzz from the crowd had grown and people who had been in the aisle on their way to leave had sat back down.

"Now who is the match-up you might be asking yourselves? Well, the first competitor comes all the way from Ansan. Leader of the Ansan Public crew, it's none other than the Sun of Ansan, Hudson Ahn!" The blonde leader steps out onto the arena, face serious as he stares out into the open space. "Despite his cold yet handsome appearance, Hudson Ahn is the first-generation king, Taesoo Ma's prodigy and student!" At Goo's words, the interest of others was piqued even further. Channing and Jacky who had been sitting amongst the other crew, on the opposite side of the Burn knuckles mind you, let out their own cheers and calls of encouragement for their leader.

'First Generation King? Taesoo Ma?!'

'The former king of Ansan?!'

'Surely if Hudson is Taesoo's student, he'll be as strong as his predecessor!'

The sudden surge of excitement was building. The initially exhausted arena was slowly being revived.

"I didn't know he was trained by a first-generation king...His opponent or whoever challenged him must be crazy" Mira gasps, covering her mouth with her hand. Jay who was looking between Mira to the Founders suddenly gaped, something clicking in his mind. He grabs onto Daniel's shoulder and starts shaking his head vigorously.

"Jay?!" Mira cries out, confused.

Daniel merely smiles, patting the hand before slipping it off his shoulder.

"Doctor Park?" Mira questions and in return, he gives her a thumbs up.

"I'm leaving you two in charge if things go wrong" He states forebodingly, causing both Mira and Jay's stress levels to rise.

"As for Hudson's opponent, it is none other than-" James was cut off as Goo steals the microphone, snatching it out of his hands to scream into it.

"NONE OTHER THAN OUR MIRACLE DOCTOR! DANIEL PAAAAAARRRRRKKKK!"

The reaction was instantaneous. Daniel gives both Jay and Mira one last look, doing a once-over glance at the other volunteers who were gaping in shock before turning around to walk into the arena. Despite him having fought with Ryohei before, the reaction from the crowd and people held ten times the energy than any other fight they had watched previously that night.

'No way! The Doctor is fighting? Again?'

'YES! Team Miracle Doctor all the way!'

'I wonder what beef he has with Hudson, how did anyone even convince him to do this again?!'

Daniel comes to stand face to face with Hudson, the blonde watching him with a stoic expression before he raises a brow.

"The crowd loves you" Hudson mentions and Daniel shrugs.

"I guess so," He replies.

"I almost feel bad for having to beat you up," Hudson remarks with a smirk. "But if this is the only way to prove that I'm strong and in the right then I'll do it" His right hand was shoved loosely into his pants pocket whereas the other one had curled into a fist.

Daniel stares back at the blonde's knuckles, rough and callous from all the trouble it had been put through. The doctor couldn't help but wonder how many fights the Sun of Ansan had to have gone through to have his fist take the form of that.

"Tough luck, you aren't in the right" Daniel shrugs as he takes his own stance.

"LET'S GET THIS PARTY STARTED!" Goo hollers and the sound of a buzzer going off initiates the start of the fight. Daniel barely braces himself in time to block the hit that Hudson's left fist delivers him, despite his arms blocking it he still skids backwards by several metres.

Daniel's forearms throb at the impact and he grimaces.

"You're going to be more trouble than Ryohei, aren't you?" Daniel huffs and Hudson merely shrugs.

"I'd assume we're both trouble in our own ways" Hudson replies and Daniel takes the opportunity of him speaking to send a straight into the blonde's face. Hudson grunts at the impact but doesn't brush the hit off, instead, he swings his left arm in a left hook, almost landing the hit against Daniel if he hadn't bent backwards and just out of reach.

Before Daniel's fight with Ryohei, he had witnessed the Japanese male's fighting style several times before when he fought in the arena. He had a rough idea of what Nomen was like but in terms of Hudson everything was new. Sure Goo and Gun made sure to tell him that Public's leader was no joke and that his fists reminisce of the first-generation king but experiencing it first-hand was different.

"Tch, this just means I'm going to have to put my training to use" He grunts before performing a move that Gun had taught him. Using the momentum of his body that was already bending backwards, he flips over, landing on his hands before sending a harsh kick to Hudson's jaw.

"WITH THAT, MIRACLE DOCTOR PARK LANDS A CHIBATA KICK AGAINST HUDSON!" Goo announces. "CAN THE SUN OF ANSAN RECOVER? WILL HE BE ABLE TO LAND A HIT?"

"If I'm not mistaken that was a capoeira kick, I wonder where Doctor Park could have learnt that from" James muses, having pulled out another mic.

"I wonder where" Gun adds, huffing softly into his microphone. The question was rhetorical but no one needed to know it.

Hudson's recovery speed was impeccable as barely even seconds after Daniel landed that hit and before his legs could reach the ground the blonde was swinging back upright and plunging his fist into the floor. Daniel reacts barely a millisecond faster, turning his body just out of the way as the fist sends shockwaves and cracks through the floor. The flying debris shocked Daniel but he couldn't let it consume him.

Pushing himself back up, he narrowly dodges another punch that was aimed at his face, and then another and then another. Hudson wasn't only strong or durable, he was fast as well.

"You can't keep dodging me if you want to defeat me, Doctor. You're going to tire yourself out" Hudson calls, face unamused as Daniel's nimble body dodges another hit.

"Well, I can't get hit either if I want to win" Daniel retorts with a scoff when Hudson changes the trajectory of his movements, landing a hook on Daniel's shoulder. Despite blocking it, Daniel couldn't help the gasp from escaping his lips as his body was lifted off the floor and sent tumbling on its side.

Simply getting hit once by Hudson was enough to feel like his bones had been shattered. He winces as he lifts the shoulder, the same throbbing feeling from before is now present in his shoulder.

"I'm curious as to whether or not you can handle my right hand, Doctor" Hudson announces as he slips the appendage out of his pocket. "I saw your strength from your previous fight but even I can tell that you were just a beginner then. You've changed since that time seeing as you can dodge and block all my left-arm punches without so much as passing out" He huffs.

"I'm impressed as of so far but if you want to win our bet you're going to have to do better than this. I hope you're ready to lose" Hudson calls only to gape as Daniel's body that had been kneeling on the floor, not having even lifted his head to look at the blonde, lunges forward.

Daniel's hand outstretched in front of Hudson's face and before the Sun could even realise it he was sent tumbling backwards onto the floor. A one-inch punch. Filled with so much power and strength, the crowd couldn't help but go wild at the sight of the move.

'That Doctor, he's a monster!'

'Since when were Doctors this strong and skilled at fighting!?'

'That's our Miracle Doctor!'

Not stopping for even a second Daniel continues forward. Hudson, who had been reeling at the one-inch punch, immediately grabbed the wrist of his right hand, spreading his legs into a firm stance and waited for Daniel patiently, a frown on his face as he was silent in thought.

"I'll make sure that you and your crew apologise for the wrong you've committed" Daniel grits out, readying for a roundhouse kick but just as he is about to land the hit, Hudson shifts out of the way and launches his fist upwards. Since Daniel was already following through with his kick he couldn't push his body to move out of the way, instead taking the full force of Hudson's right fist.

The air leaves his body and the pain is immense as it courses through his body. Had the hit landed against his ribs, Daniel was sure that a couple of bones would have been broken but even so, the fist to his stomach was still just as agonising.

"I look forward to our date, I'm sure we'll both have our fun even if it came about due to a bet and fight. Don't be too upset with me Daniel Park, you weren't going to beat me anyways" Hudson whispers into Daniel's ear, his voice low and knowing.

Hudson slides his fist away and without the blonde's body underneath him gravity takes Daniel's body and he slumps to the floor.

"You got a couple of good hits in, I'm not going to lie" Hudson muses as the crowd around the arena gasps and shouts a range of different things into the arena. "But they weren't good enough to beat me. You should have stayed out of Public's affairs, you may be strong and attractive but I was the clear winner from the beginning" Hudson eyes Daniel's slumped body on the floor before turning around to face the crowd, basking in the spotlight and cheers.

"You put up an even worse fight than Burn Knuckles' second in command and his fighting style was already terrible, perhaps you should stick to being a Doctor" He calls out loudly, enough for people to catch what he said. "I won the bet, see you at my club"

Daniel couldn't move his body, no matter how hard he tried to will it to get up he was frozen in place. His limbs felt heavy and he could barely breathe as it is due to the punch he took. He could only stare at Hudson's feet which was a distance away, hair covering his eyes so that no one else could see that he was still awake and not knocked out. The roar of the arena was deafening, some people screaming for him to get up whereas others were in awe of Hudson.

'I mean, his first fight must have been a fluke. He is just a Doctor after all'

'Come on Miracle Doctor! The Founders haven't called the end of it yet!'

'Maybe he was always this weak from the beginning'

He felt weak. He felt sore. But most of all he felt disappointed in himself. Gun who had spent months training him, hammering techniques and strength into him had now gone to waste. The time that Goo spent this week alone helping him work out was laid to waste. The potential that James thought he saw in him, was for naught. The confidence he had exuded previously with Jay, Mira and the volunteers was nothing but added embarrassment. How could he face them?

Weak.

Useless.

Pathetic.

Freak.

Piggy.

Insults he hadn't heard in years come flooding back into his mind. The eyes of those who thought they were better than him, the voices for their degrading insults, and the harmful actions they took against him in the form of 'pranks' and mere 'tricks' came flooding in... His middle school bullies, his university bullies, the bullies that existed at SNMC.

Nothing has changed. He may be in a new environment, he may have gotten thinner, stronger, and smarter, but it didn't matter. He was still the same old pathetic excuse of a person. A weak, poor, no father coward.

Who was he to think that he could get revenge for Jace? Why did he think he could fight? What made him believe that he had any right to interfere within the arena? Jace and Vasco certainly didn't ask for his help. He took it upon himself to act and now he was facing the consequences.

Were Jace and Vasco disappointed? Were Jay and Mira? Were the Founders? Was his Uncle watching the arena, disappointed in him as both a fighter and a doctor?

He couldn't stand it. His own disappointment in himself was already so overwhelming, the disappointment from people who knew he was a failed Doctor was also already so suffocating and now in front of hundreds of people and an online audience of thousands of people he embarrassed himself. He couldn't take it. He couldn't lose.

His own body starts to feel warm, his breath quickens and he could feel his muscles spasm slightly.

Through the thunderous crowd and Hudson's cutting words, Daniel hadn't heard any of the founders speak yet. The fight wasn't done yet.

.

.

.

"Gun, I think it's time we called the fight" James voices, hand covering his microphone as he looks over at his usually stoic friend.

"Yeah man, it doesn't look like he's getting up" Goo murmurs, quieter than he's ever been.

Gun in question was stiff, his jaw was locked and his gaze hadn't left Daniel's prone frame that was still lying on the floor even as Hudson was parading around with a grin on his face. Even as the crowd was hurling contrasting cheers and insults due to their strong opinions as to how the fight should have turned out.

"Just another moment" Gun grits out, his stubbornness getting the better of him.

The moment was dragging out, usually, the instant someone was knocked out it would be James or Goo announcing the winner but Gun adamant.

"The fight's not over" Gun adds and Goo and James turn to look at each other with questioning looks.

Neko and Vivi were sparing glances at the Founders, Eugene had a knowing look on his face, and some of the crew and even a couple of the crowd members seemed to register that they hadn't ended the fight yet. No siren or buzzer had gone off, not a single word from them.

"He's been knocked out" James states and Gun scoffs. "He's lost, perhaps he wasn't ready for a match like this yet, no matter what you believed" He adds much to the other man's chagrin.

"No, he hasn't. You just haven't been paying close enough attention" Gun retorts harshly and James wants to reply that it was his wishful thinking yet the conviction in his friend's voice was enough to make him falter. He turns to look at the body, eyes straining due to the distance but eventually he gapes.

"Well shit" James grunts and Goo in turn follows his gaze.

"No way"

The body that had been on the floor not only moments ago picks itself up effortlessly, as if it hadn't just been abused by fists of steel. It was as if Daniel Park had only just woken up rather than having gone through half a fight with the leader of a formidable crew.

James felt a chill flow through his body and he knew what was coming. He knew what this was, had seen it in several of the opponents he's faced but he never thought he'd see it in Daniel Park.

The people fall into silence as they notice the Doctor on his feet and they pull back in disturbance as his face splits into a grin and a laugh pours out of his mouth. A similar sort of unhinged laugh that James has only witnessed Gun do.

"He's spent way too much time with you" James announces to Gun who merely grins sharply at the sight of his disciple.

"Perhaps" Gun shrugs before turning his microphone back on. "And it seems that Doctor Park is still in the running for this match! Has Hudson Ahn, The Sun of Ansan, celebrated too soon?!" He calls with more emotion than he's ever showcased.

The match wasn't over yet.

.

.

.

Daniel didn't know how to describe what he was feeling. It was so hot and he felt so pent up with energy and rage he needed to release it all instantly or else he'd explode. He couldn't help throwing back his head and letting out a laugh as deranged and uncanny as it sounded. He pushes his hair backwards, the sweat from his face is enough to make the hair stay put as he grins at Hudson who turns back to him, eyes wide in surprise.

"I'll admit, you almost got me there" Daniel barks out, he can't prevent the grin that manoeuvred its way onto his face. "Shit, you're strong as hell Hudson but as if I'd allow one measly punch to take me down" He cocks his head to the side as the blonde tenses.

"You…I was sure my right hand landed" Hudson frowns as if he couldn't comprehend what he was seeing.

"Oh it landed alright, I'm sure it's gonna bruise" Just for show he lifts his shirt to show the red spot that was forming. There were a couple of whistles at the display and Hudson's eyes locked onto the sliver of skin, of course, Daniel took that distraction as an opening.

He swings a straight punch right into Hudson's face, this time blood pours out of his nose and he grunts before stumbling backwards.

"Use your right hand, try it again, come on!" Daniel urges, taunting Hudson.

A huff escapes Hudson's lips, even though he's bleeding he gives his own smile.

"You really are something else, Doctor Park" Hudson announces and Daniel's cheeks are aching but the grin remains on his face.

The heat, the energy, the rush of adrenaline that made him feel higher than he had ever been. Daniel was ready.

Wiping the blood off his face, Hudson throws off the jacket he was wearing before preparing to use his right fist again, his left hand wrapping itself snugly around his wrist.

"The results will remain the same, Doc" Hudson advises but Daniel couldn't care less.

Instead, he starts unbuckling his belt much to the confusion and surprise of everyone. He might have heard a couple of girls screaming in glee, he wasn't sure.

'Take it off! Bark! Bark!'

Nope, he was sure.

Hudson eyes Daniel's movement warily yet the Doctor pays it no mind as he drags his leather belt through the loops of his pants. If anything he was sure that Hudson's gaze was a little more heated than before, clouded by something that was rated more than PG13.

"You like my waist that much, Sun of Ansan?" He roars, laughing as he calls the other man out. "Couldn't get enough of touching it the last time round?" His filter was gone, he didn't understand why he needed to let loose but he was going to do it. The arena had barely any limits anyway, what's the shame in getting things a little more heated?

"I won't deny it, it's enticing. Especially when it fits just right in my hands" Hudson admits with the same shamelessness, it was as if Daniel's recklessness was empowering him to act just as stupidly.

"Well then, why don't you get your ass over here!" He shouts, whipping the belt against the floor which initiates a 'cracking' sound.

'Um…what are they talking about?'

'I didn't realise we were getting sexual about this'

'Sun of Ansan x Miracle Doctor? I didn't see this coming'

Ignoring the crowd, Daniel lunges first in a fake and Hudson falls for it as he spins out of the way. Daniel snorts, sidestepping so that Hudson's back is facing him he brings his belt down fast and hard.

Hudson grunts as the belt makes contact with his back and butt.

"Just because you're the gangster leader of some crew you think you're better than me?" Daniel seems to ask through his smile. "You're fucking wrong about that, how dare you look down on me and hurt my friends!" He shouts as he kicks Hudson in the back, making him stumble.

Without hesitation or waiting, Daniel sends several more slashes down Hudson's back, the stinging sensation could be felt by everyone across the arena, both those in person and those viewing it online. The blonde's shirt at this point was ripping due to the force of Daniel's belt and his hits. Fed up with the belt, Hudson snatches it out of the air and pulls Daniel into his range for him to land a right hook straight into his face.

Pain erupts but Daniel can barely feel it through the rush of adrenaline. Even as his body goes tumbling to the floor, he can only continue to grin as he props himself back upright. Blood runs down his face but the Doctor merely swipes it away with the sleeve of his shirt.

"That's the second time you've gotten hit by my right hand and you're still conscious. You're even more intriguing than I originally thought" Hudson claws at his shirt, ripping the already ruined shirt off his body to expose his bare torso.

Daniel licks his lips at the sight. Yeah, the other man's chest was a pretty sight indeed.

"Still, I'm not going to lose," Hudson announces firmly, taking his usual stance.

"Oho? I guess we'll have to keep going until one of us dies!" Daniel roars back, spreading his legs and knees before grabbing his own curled-up fist by the wrist with his left hand. Hudson's eyes widen at the familiarity of it and the whispers from the crowd go to show they knew exactly what the stance was.

"What's this? Miracle Doctor Park is copying Hudson's signature style?!" Goo calls, gaping.

It takes a moment more of staring at each other before Hudson and Daniel launch their fists right into their opponent's face. The combined force knocks them backwards, blood pouring out of their noses.

"No wonder you punch like this" Daniel snorts, his brain felt like it was being rattled inside his head which in all honestly wasn't a good sign but he didn't care for the moment.

"It doesn't matter if you're copying my moves, at the end of the day I'm stronger than you" Hudson grunts, the only giveaway that showed he was hurt was the way his brow twitched in pain. Without being considerate of Daniel, which was fair since Daniel himself had been attacking Hudson relentlessly, he started attacking. Daniel narrowly dodges everything, crackling like a madman each time the fists of steel almost land against him.

"Damn, I really might die if you hit me this time!" Daniel acknowledges as he ducks. "Try not to kill me, the CC already has trouble finding medical help!" He hoots out cheekily only to trip and fall back on his ass due to a broken piece of debris.

Realising his mistake, Daniel stares up at Hudson who was swinging his arm down.

People around the arena suck in their breath, waiting for Daniel to get hit by the fist only to gape as Hudson pauses his movements. Staring down at his stomach he notices that Daniel's foot was keeping him at a distance.

"Hey, hey, what did I just say about killing me? If I die then no one will be able to kiss your wounds better or better yet, go on that date with you" Daniel calls out cockily before using his other leg to kick at Hudson's ankle. The blonde hisses in pain as he stumbles forward only to cry out in pain as Daniel swings his body upright and nails his face with his knee.

"Honestly it's not nice..," Daniel starts as he yanks Hudson by the hair and nails him again in the face, only this time it was with his fist. Hudson groans but attempts to punch Daniel in return only to hit nothing as the Doctor dodges and kicks him in the gut with enough force to knock him back onto the floor.

"To beat up the guy…" Daniel continued lunging forward as Hudson was trying to stand up, propping himself on his knees. The Sun of Ansan's eyes widen as he notices what Daniel is doing.

"You're trying to flirt with!" He shouts, jumping on the blonde's face and using his entire body weight to smash his face against the concrete floor. The cracks that form in the ground should have worried anyone and everyone but they were too enraptured by Daniel's performance to fully comprehend the action.

Hudson groans, the noise barely hearable due to his face still kissing the floor. He shifts, rolling around so that he is facing upwards, his body protesting in pain and agony. He needed to keep going, he needed to keep fighting to show the people that he was the Sun of Ansan. That he was a strong leader of Public, to honour his teacher. Yet as he felt a body straddle his chest, as he stared into Daniel Park's deranged eyes as he lifted a fist to smash into Hudson's face there was only one thing he could do.

He couldn't move to dodge. So instead he opens his mouth before the punch could land.

"I concede!" He gasps out, just loud enough for Daniel to hear and pause. The hand was mere inches away from Hudson's face before eventually it pulled away.

"What was that? I don't think the people could hear you" Daniel taunts. Hudson clenches his jaw and scrunches his eyes shut before eventually he repeats the words.

"I CONCEDE!" He shouts and just like that the fight is over. The siren sounds for the match to finish, the crowd roars at the victory and Goo screams something into the mic but all Daniel could focus on was the fact that he won.

The heat and adrenaline vanished with those words, the previous conviction to win was gone because he had achieved it. Breathing hard yet still smiling, Daniel stares down at his opponent, Hudson who is staring wide-eyed at him, breathing just as hard.

"I won" Daniel gapes as if he couldn't believe it.

"Yeah, you did" Hudson replies even if the Doctor hadn't been expecting a response.

Several more deep breaths.

"Fuck, you were strong" Daniel blurts out and the proof could be felt throughout his body. He was going to regret the fight by tomorrow. Hudson didn't see the words coming but he didn't react badly either, instead, he let out a huff and a small grin. Despite losing he couldn't do it, the Doctor was just that unbelievable.

"You were stronger" He returns the compliment, making Daniel break out into his own grin. Different to the previous grins when he felt deranged, this one was much more normal.

Hudson pushes himself upright even if his torso was protesting for him to stop, yet as he readjusts his position he notes that the Doctor has yet to get off him. Instead, Hudson's movements push the Doctor so that he is sitting on his lap instead, their faces intensely close and neither moves away as they stare at each other.

"You gonna get off me?" Hudson asks eyebrow arched as Daniel's face scrunches into frustration. Hudson could feel the Doctor's body shuffle slightly yet despite the effort he doesn't budge.

"I…I can't" He groans in defeat, his face flushing in embarrassment at the position they were in. "Shit" He cursed as the voices from the crowd had transitioned from cheering to confused muttering.

Hudson couldn't hold back the laugh that bubbles up in his chest which only increases Daniel's embarrassment.

"I don't mind the position" Hudson whispers so that only Daniel can hear.

"Shut up" To hide his face from both Hudson and the people he tucks his face into the larger man's bare shoulder. Hudson's chuckle rumbled deeply and Daniel could both hear and feel the vibrations of it.

'Awe wait, they're kind of cute together'

'Enemies to lovers, so true'

'Look at them cuddle after beating the shit out of each other'

Daniel felt as if his ears were going to burn right off his body when suddenly Hudson was moving. He yelps as the blonde stands and takes him along for the ride, he quickly holds onto Hudson's neck and rough hands hook under his thighs. There were a couple of screams of glee at the action.

"I got you," Hudson reassures.

"How the hell do you still have the strength to move?" Daniel squeaks, baffled that Hudson whom he had beaten up without holding back was still walking.

"Well one of us has to" Hudson replies before his footsteps pause. "Oh, your sidekicks are here"

Twisting his head around to see what Hudson was talking about he noticed the volunteers and Jay had finally gotten off their butts and was approaching them. Their shock was still evident on all their faces except for Jay who marches right up to the two fighters. He holds his hands up silently, gesturing at Hudson who knew exactly what he wanted. Daniel was handed from one blonde man to the next without protest.

Daniel could barely process how he got here but once he did he noted that Jay was cradling him in his arms and marching back into the medical set-up as if he weighed nothing. He's seated on one of the beds before Jay eventually lets go and starts examining him for injuries. It was a little weird for Daniel to be on the receiving end of this but he doesn't deny Jay from doing his job. It went by quickly and after a couple of bandages, he was free from the worried hands.

What he wasn't free from was Mira giving him a lecture.

"What the hell were you thinking?!" She shouts, continuing to berate him for his actions. "I understand that you were upset with what Public did but that doesn't mean that you should throw away your safety and fight for their honour" Mira hisses, Jay standing next to her looking like a disappointed parental figure with his arms crossed as Daniel rubs the back of his head sheepishly.

"Sorry Mira, sorry Jay," He tells her as she lets out a deep sigh. "But I had to do it, you might not understand it and I can't explain it even if I tried but…yeah," He finishes off lamely. Before Mira could continue speaking there was a cough and their heads turned to see Hudson waiting patiently to speak.

His former opponent looked awkward, as if he was intruding on the moment and he was playing with his bandages coyly.

"Could I speak to Doctor Park for a moment?" He asks as both Mira and Jay immediately stand in front of the injured Doctor.

"Are you going to beat him up again?" Mira questions, eyes burning with anger.

"Um, did we forget that he won the fight?" Hudson questions and a look flashes on both Jay and Mira's faces.

"Yes, Hudson can speak to me" Daniel clears his throat, standing up from the bed to address his volunteers and nurse. "Since that was the final match of the night and the CC is now over for the day I need everyone to start packing up then you'll all be free to leave. Let's get started" He claps his hands to push them all into action which they do concede.

A couple of people call out to Daniel to tell him how cool he was when he was fighting but after a warning glare from Mira they all scurry away. The brunette was a lot scarier than people gave her credit for.

"So there's no chance of that date happening at all?" Hudson muses, walking over to him. Daniel should have felt annoyed or irritated that the blonde was so persistent with his date questions but after beating each other to a pulp and seeing their respective strengths he couldn't bring himself to be so. Despite Hudson's crew mates being a pain, he as an individual wasn't so bad.

"Why are you so persistent? You don't even know me" Daniel fires back, wanting to know the truth.

"That's what the dates are for, I want to get to know you better. If you hadn't been of interest to me after I watched your first fight or after I had met you for the first time in the medical room then I'm certainly investing in getting close to you after that fight" The leader admits which has Daniel's heart palpitating.

"I see, still you did lose the bet so no date for you" He hums out which has Hudson wilting. "Although, who knows? Maybe I'll change my mind" He adds almost shyly which has the other man grinning.

Seeing the smile makes Daniel feel amused, it was as if Hudson hadn't gotten his ass handed to him not even 15 minutes ago.

"Speaking about the bet, you'll uphold the end of your deal?" Daniel asks, maintaining eye contact with the sun of Ansan who nods resolutely.

"You have my word" He replies in an almost business-like tone before he overhears a voice that cries out his name. The sound of thudding footsteps causes both men to turn to see an upset Jacky and frowning Channing come into view. "I'll uphold my end so just keep your eyes on me Doc" He starts heading over toward his friends yet his gaze is still on Daniel.

"I'm not as horrible of a person as you think I am" He calls before waving goodbye and turning to his crew mates who were giving him disbelieving looks. The three walk away, whispering harsh whispers but what Daniel does overhear is a simple 'Seriously, Dude?' from Channing which has him chuckling.

.

.

.

Clean-up is about as quick and efficient as it could be but once Daniel dismisses everyone he heads back to his office to put away his files and belongings. The light of the medical bay is still on much to the Doctor's confusion but it clears up as soon as he enters the room.

"Of course, you're here" Daniel snorts as he catches sight of Gun leaning against his desk. The Founder looks up and meets the tired Doctor's gaze as soon as he speaks but doesn't say a word. Not a single sound escapes his lips as he studies the shorter figure, it almost unnerves Daniel but he knows the elder is not plotting to kill him so he doesn't worry. Instead, he walks up to the other. "Are you just going to stand there silently and creepily?" He jokes as he tosses his stuff onto the desk, giving the other a small smile.

Still, there was silence so Daniel took a different approach.

"I won" He mentions and now Gun opens his mouth to speak.

"I knew you would," Gun shrugs. "Sure about halfway through your match you had me double guessing but then you went and did something even more amazing" He huffs as he pushes off the desk and approaches the Doctor.

"Me? Amaze the great Jong Gun Park?" Daniel questions in disbelief before shaking his head. "You're exaggerating" yet he pauses as Gun crowds him against the wall.

"Daniel Park, I knew you had talent and I knew that you would be my perfect masterpiece but today…today you went beyond everything I imagined. Throughout that entire fight, I couldn't help but be impressed, even though I shouldn't have been since you are my student. Today showed promise that you can…that you can achieve a certain fighting style I didn't think anyone here could potentially unlock" Gun explains, pressing his warm body against Daniel's whose breath hitches.

"You're also turned on" Daniel acknowledges, feeling the bulge through their layers of clothes.

"How could I not be after watching such a fight?" Gun retorts, rolling his hips which has Daniel gasping.

"You want to mess around now? Need I remind you that my body is sore?" Daniel cries out, he may have won against Hudson yet his body is still just as beaten up.

"Hah, after we're done you'll understand the true meaning of a sore body" Gun grins as he reaches up to cup Daniel's jaw and nudge it so that they are facing each other. "Think of this as a reward for your victory" He states and Daniel's heart stutters.

"You'll reward me?" He asks meekly and at the sight of Gun's predatory smile, he couldn't help but physically shudder. "I really must have impressed you a lot for you to do this" He chuckles out instead as Gun steps away to unravel the doctor from his coat.

"Don't go getting a big head just because you won and I said a couple of compliments" Gun sighs. "You've been in two fights" He hums as he starts unbuttoning Daniel's shirt.

"Three if you count the one with Gian High, and as far as I'm concerned I have a 100% win streak" Daniel tilts his head cockily, a smirk on his lips.

"If we're counting all the battles you've had outside of the arena then I guess we should count all the sparring matches you've lost against me" Gun snorts, causing Daniel to sulk. To wipe the pout off the younger man's face, Gun leans forward and presses a kiss to his lips. "Nonetheless you were still impressive" he informs again and Daniel's face lights up once more.

"More impressive than any of your former students?" Daniel inquires as Gun's lips leave him to trail down the side of his neck. There was a soft hum as a reply. "More impressive than Olly?" Daniel presses on.

Gun's grip clenches around Daniel's waist so that he can grind his own hips against them.

"Yes," Gun replies with a grunt that attempts to hide his moan.

"More impressive than Jake?" Daniel whispers in the man's ears as he lets his own hands trail up to wrap around Gun's neck.

"You're far more charismatic," Gun indulges.

"Better than Johan?" Daniel gasps out as he arches into Gun's warmth, crooning as the elder bites into the meat between his neck and shoulder.

"You've got the potential to be better at copying fighting styles than him" Gun relents.

"What about Eli?"

At this point, Gun pulls away with a frown.

"Are you going to keep saying other people's names whilst I'm trying to fuck you or are you going to shut up and enjoy the moment?" Gun grunts, irritation clear on his face which causes Daniel to laugh.

"Is someone jealous?" Daniel teases as he pulls Gun back in, pressing soft kisses against his jaw and neck.

"You're the one that sounds jealous, asking me about my ex-students when the only one that matters right now is you, my current disciple" Gun implores, trying to tell Daniel exactly what he meant in not so many words. Daniel couldn't keep the smile off his face as he took in the words and heated looks.

"I really am your favourite" He hums as Gun grunts, not accepting but neither denying the words.

"If anything I should be the one questioning you" Gun states as he suddenly lifts Daniel off the floor, hefting him so that the Doctor's legs and arms are wrapped around him. "What was going on between you and that loser? His hands fit around your waist perfectly? When the hell were you letting him touch you so intimately huh? Also, at the end of your fight did you enjoy the way Hudson was touching you? The way he lifted you like you were nothing but a rag doll? Or the way that nurse carried you?" Gun fires out his questions as he starts moving towards one of the beds.

"It isn't like that. My legs kinda just gave out and stopped working" Daniel denies when suddenly he was tossed onto the bed. He grunts before looking up at the larger man who has a dirty smile on his lips. "If you say something about you making sure my legs don't work after you finish I'll kick you out" He warns and Gun shakes his head.

"You said it, not me" He huffs before taking off his layers of clothing, throwing them to the floor along with his glasses. "But it doesn't make it any less true" He hums before pushing Daniel back to lay on the bed.

There didn't need to be any more talking afterwards, all the two men needed was each other and their bodies. Daniel moans against Gun's lips, his nails raking up and down the elder's scarred torso as he rolls his hips.

"I thought you said this was my reward, you gonna keep rutting against me till morning or are you going to fuck me?' Daniel taunts, feeling Gun's lips curl against his skin.

"I should teach you patience" He replies but his hands are quick to unbuckle Daniel's belt and strip him of his pants, the underwear soon joins the pile of clothes on the floor. "Lucky for you, I've run out of patience too" Gun grunts before a fist wraps around Daniel's already half-hard member.

Daniel couldn't stop the moan that escaped his lips nor the gasps as Gun set an unrelenting pace. The pressure of the hand, the stress of the fight and the strain his body had faced throughout the night were all adding to his desire and lust. He needed a release.

"Fuck, you're already dripping so much pre-cum" Gun teases as he leaves a hot trail of kisses down his bandaged torso until he reaches Daniel's nipple. The Doctor lets out a ragged gasp as Gun starts teasing the nub, suckling it before biting and tugging it gently.

The stimulation of Gun getting his cock off and teasing his nipple has Daniel's body thrumming in pleasure but it wasn't enough.

"More, Gun I need more" Daniel whines as Gun snorts but he responds in earnest. His free hand that had been holding the smaller man's waist still moves to cup Daniel's balls, squeezing and massaging them gently before travelling further to press into the puckering hole. In response to the sensations, Daniel pushed his hips down, attempting to sink the finger in further but Gun was quick to pull away.

"Such a needy little slut. I finger you once and now all you want is something to fill you up" Gun grins as Daniel whines.

"Please, please fill me up" Daniel begs and Gun obliges. Leaving the nipple he pushed Daniel's knees until they were widely spread. He licks the tip of Daniel's weeping cock which makes the younger's hips jump upwards.

Licking stripes down Daniel's cock the scene was nothing short of obscene and the Doctor could only watch through a hazy gaze before throwing his head back against the soft sheets as the Founder deep throats him. A deep chuckle rumbles through his throat, the vibrations causing Daniel to shudder in even more pleasure. Gun moves his head up and down a couple of times before pulling off with a soft 'pop' which causes Daniel to whine at the loss of heat.

"So pretty, such a pretty cock" Gun compliments as he starts fisting the weeping member again. Gun leans forward to suckle on Daniel's fat balls, nosing the appendage and smelling the musky scent that lingered in the area. Sweat and body odour, Daniel hadn't been allowed to shower yet after his fight.

Soon enough he sinks two fingers into Daniel's eager hole, noting that due to the neglect it had been twitching in need ever since it had been exposed to Gun. Due to Daniel being a man the lack of lubricant meant that it took a moment for the Doctor to completely adjust so to help smooth the affair, Gun delves down to eat the hole out. The sensation of a tongue intruding into his hole makes Daniel squeal.

"J-Jong Gun!" Daniel calls out, fisting the man's hair as he relentlessly eats his ass. His hand that had been jerking Daniel's member off had yet to stop and soon enough the younger was feeling overwhelmed. "I'm going to cum!" Daniel cries and if the elder hears, he doesn't stop.

Soon Daniel's body is shaking, stuttering upwards into Gun's hand but also grounding down on his face as well. Even after he's milked, Gun continues for another agonising minute until Daniel lets out pitiful whines. Coming to a stop, Gun sits up to bare his teeth with a grin.

"Look at you, all fucked out even though you're been nothing but a pathetic pillow princess" Gun degrades as Daniel pouts.

"Shut up" He replies, voice already ruined as he shifts to close his knees but Gun stops him.

"We're not done yet, I haven't fucked you yet" Gun states sharply as he stands up and maneuvers Daniel's body to lie properly on the bed. He also gets onto the bed, making sure that he's in between the younger man's legs so he doesn't have to pry them open. "I think you deserve my cock today, baby" he hums in a sultry tone.

"I-I just came" Daniel gasps as Gun throws his pants to the floor.

"And I haven't yet" Gun replies cockily as he lines up his flushed cock to Daniel's hole. He doesn't wait for Daniel to reply or adjust before he pushes in, causing the Doctor to gasp and writhe in both pain and burning pleasure.

"W-Wait, Gun!" Daniel calls, feeling his eyes well up with tears as Gun continues to sink further and further in. He was large, there was no doubt in Daniel's mind that Gun had a huge penis. He's seen it before, even felt it but to have it inside him…he hadn't been ready. "Hurts, it hurts" Daniel sobs, clawing at Gun's back in a desperate attempt to get the man to understand.

"Almost there, just another inch" Gun gasps out, breathless from how tight Daniel's ass was. "Just relax baby, I'm almost all in" He whispers as he turns to face Daniel's tear-stained face to kiss him. The kissing allows Daniel to focus on something other than the fact that his ass was being split open by a snake.

Another inch took too long but eventually Gun sighed as his hips pressed against Daniel and he finally bottomed out.

"So tight, you're so tight for me baby" Gun whispers into Daniel's ear who was struggling to adjust to the foreign feeling.

"You're going to kill me" Daniel whimpers, the flow of tears having slowed but still present.

"You won't die from this, you're too resilient" Gun chuckles before shifting his hips to start moving. Daniel lets out another cry, his grip on Gun's shoulder and neck tightening as he claws at the flesh. "Loosen up baby, that's it. You take me in so well" Gun hums as he holds Daniel's hips gently, rubbing smooth circles against his hip bone with his thumbs.

Daniel merely gasps with every inch that's pulled out and every inch that's pushed in. Yet eventually as time passes those sobs of pain turn into gasps of pleasure and Gun couldn't hold back the grin.

"You're feeling it now, aren't you?" He teases.

"Like hell I am, you're spearing me with a weapon that you call your dick" Daniel hisses back before biting back his lip to hold back the cry of pleasure as Gun angles his hips to hit his prostate. "Look, you're even moving your hips" He murmurs and Daniel pauses to stare down at his body that was betraying him.

"S-Shut up" Daniel grumbles.

"You're right, I should focus" Gun huffs before increasing his pace.

The pleasured moans and gasps, the squelching sounds being made as well as the slapping of skin against skin were all that filled the medical office. Daniel was bearing the brunt of Gun's force, crying out each time the elder's cock would periodically hit his prostate without remorse. It doesn't take much longer before he's shuddering in pleasure and cumming again, but that doesn't stop Gun from continuing his thrusting.

"You've come twice and I still haven't even come once yet, how greedy" Gun remarks as Daniel shakes his head.

"It's your fault" He gasps out, his mind going foggy due to the emotions he is experiencing. A pleasure that he barely felt before today. "Please stop, I can't keep going" He begs.

"My fault? It's your fault for having such a greedy cunt?" Gun retorts as he thrusts even deeper. "Look at this spoiled cunt, so red from all the abuse and yet it still sucks me in as if it can't live without my cock" He narrates which causes Daniel to whine.

"Gun…stop!" He whines, the tears returning as he cries out and grasps blinding at Gun's chest, trying to push him away.

"Come on Doc, let's work on your stamina while we're at it" Gun lectures as he thrusts his cock deeper than before. Daniel's third orgasm comes in spurts, less semen than before and in a much more liquid texture than the thick substance from previously.

"Oh God" Daniel babbles, feeling himself grow laxed in Gun's relentless hold.

"I prefer being called Gun" The elder replies with a smirk but he does take note that Daniel's face showcased his drowsiness. "Just a little more, I'm almost there baby. You can take care of me until then, can't you?" He urges.

"You're…you're gonna fuck me stupid" Daniel sobs. "I'm gonna go stupid" He cries out even louder and something in Gun snaps as he lifts himself onto his knees.

Suddenly Daniel's body that had been lying on the bed was lifted, only the edge of his head could feel the bed sheets as his torso and hips remained suspended in the air. The angle change, the way Gun was furiously moving his hips, rutting into Daniel as if there was no tomorrow. It was too much.

"Noooo…please Gun, too much" He sobs.

"Fuck, so tight. Such a nice little boy pussy…I'm close" Was all Gun had time to gasp out before his cock pulsates under Daniel's clenching walls. He shoots his load inside the younger man, holding his hips tightly in place, ripping a scream from Daniel's lips as his dick spasms and shoots out a clear liquid. Gun took in the entire sight, as Daniel continued squirting, the liquid hit his chest before running down his body due to the position they were in.

Eventually, after the Doctor has finished milking him dry Gun slowly pulls out, taking pleasure in watching the sight of Daniel's twitching hole and the cum that was dripping out. Daniel couldn't move, he could only fall onto the bed, mouth still open with drool dripping down the side of his mouth.

Gun really did fuck the prodigy Miracle Doctor stupid.

"Fuck" Gun grunts as he reaches out to spread Daniel's legs and get a better view of the abused hole.

"No more…" Daniel begs, his eyes unfocused.

"I won't," Gun replies. "Promise" He adds which gets Daniel to relax just slightly.

He might have only been able to cum once but the effort and the sex in general were worth it. He'd finally been able to fuck the Doctor and although he thought his previous confusions would be cleared it hasn't. Now he knew he was ruined.

"Shit" Gun grunts as he stands up.

He was never going to enjoy having sex with anyone else ever again.
