"Did you get beat up by Mr. Baek again?" Your familiar voice startled Gang, who had just slumped onto his bed, having just come back from a beating– ahem, training session with Mr. Baek. You were leaning against his doorway, with a tiny amused smile and your medicine kit propped against your hip.

He flushed, embarrassed that you were seeing him all battered and bruised up (again) but you made your way over to his bed, settling down across him. A tiny voice in the back of his head asked why you always came to his room to do this, when the girls' dorm rooms in the Baekryong school were at the other end.

"You knew I would so why come here to rub it in my face?" He huffed, not really meaning it. He would never admit it, but he liked that you came to fuss over him. You just hummed in response as you opened the kit and started applying the medicines on his cuts and bruises.

"I wonder why, too," you said quietly, avoiding his eyes. Whenever you would come to fix up his injuries, Gang would always stare at you unashamedly. It made you flush but you had learned to ignore and pretend that he couldn't notice it, dense as he was. It's not like you needed to fix his wounds either; it was just an excuse to be close to him, to care for him in your own small way. If he didn't realise that, then he certainly wasn't going to figure out your crush on him through a mild flush on your cheeks in the dim yellow lights of the evening. "It's not like I expect you to ever win."

"Hey!" He pouted, more hurt than he would let on at your lack of belief in him. You paused in your actions to look at him carefully.

"Of course I don't expect you to win against Mr. Baek," you clarified, lips drawing up in a small smile again. "If it's anyone else though… I think you're more than good enough to take on any of them."

"That's right, I am!" Gang's cheeks burned. You complimenting him while he could feel your gentle touch over his face was a dream. Sometimes, he really worried that he was hallucinating you coming to his room every evening. Wouldn't that make him some sort of weird pervert?

You just smiled at his response and continued working quietly. Gang stayed still and silent as always, never letting out even the smallest of hiss or a grunt at the burn he was definitely feeling.

"The medicine must hurt, right?" You asked quietly as you worked on the last one. His eyes flicked up to meet yours (where was he looking?) and he shrugged.

"Nothing can hurt me," he muttered, the line making you huff out a short laugh.

"Of course," you teased, "nothing can hurt the big, strong Heonwon Gang!"

"You…!" Gang narrowed his eyes at you as you stifled the laughter while packing up the kit. Only when you were done did you look back at him. The moment your eyes met, you burst out into laughter much to his protests. "I am the strongest! I'll show you!"

"Alright, alright, I admit you are, really," you giggled, failing to hide it under your hand. Despite his words, you could see the tiny smile peeking out of the corners of Gang's mouth. "Come on, let me circulate your qi once, then I'll leave you alone."

Both of you paused at the last part, neither wanting you to leave but he couldn't justify any other reason for you to stay. (And if the Head Supervisor found out about a girl staying over in a guy's room, the both of you could say goodbye to the Blue Dragon academy for life, so maybe it was a good thing.) Gang offered you his hands, both palms up for you to slide yours into.

"Alright, relax," you murmured, letting your qi into him to check his flow. Your instruction to relax was the only thing Gang could never follow; how was he supposed to relax when you were holding both his arms and he could feel your qi running through his system? It felt like a gentle and intimate caress that always left him flustered beyond belief. (And if it did anything down there, then no it didn't, and he would carefully hide it.) "Everything seems okay! That's great."

Your hands lingered for a second or two more before you slipped them back and fiddled with the kit to distract yourself.

"I was joking before but…" you hesitated for a second then looked up to find Gang staring at you intensely. Your heart raced under the attention, the thumps resounding loudly in your ears. "I just wanted to say that it's okay if it hurts. You can complain and hiss and tell me if it burns. Just because you're strong doesn't mean you don't feel pain– and I know you complain to the others, but you always hide it from me, so I thought…"

Gang stayed silent at first, looking away. When he spoke, he almost seemed a little shy.

"You already see me…like this," he mumbled, uncharacteristically timid for once. "I want you to think I'm really cool and strong and dependable, not… not what everyone else makes me out to be. I know everyone says I'm a troublemaker, violent and absolutely nuts, but, I didn't want you to see me that way."

If you saw him like that, you would never love him. Why would you? You were one of the top students, a role model of good behaviour and obedience. Even the Head Supervisor was a little soft on you! The only reason you had ever even looked his way was because you both studied under Baek Suryong.

"I'm sorry for pretending I'm someone I'm not," he flushed and looked down, really embarrassed. His apology startled you– he was being really unlike himself.

"What's wrong with being who you are?" You huffed, crossing your arms over your chest. You leaned forward, feeling bold from what he had just said, to admit, "I like you as you are, dumbass. You might be violent and a troublemaker but you're also cool and strong and dependable. I wouldn't like you any less if you complained or whined or told me something like you're scared of the dark– you would still be the Heonwon Gang who made me laugh when I was in a lot of stress, the same guy who risk his limb from Cheon, the same Gang who has a heart of gold. You're more than what you make yourself out to be. You weren't pretending to be someone you're not because you are all of that and so much more."

Gang blinked, stumped at your unexpected confession. Suddenly, you wondered if you had said a little too much. You were about to lean back, noticing the proximity now but he leaned in, effectively freezing you. His eyes kept slipping downwards to your lips as he carefully asked, "So… if I show you all of me… all of who I am… would you still like me?"

He was slow, giving you enough time to back away if you didn't want it but you did. You had wanted this for so long and it was like your heart was about to burst.

Instead, you just smiled and said, "I would, because I'm dumb enough to do that," before closing the distance.

(Outside the room, in the hallway, Hyeok and Sang-ung high-fived and Yeomin muttered a "fucking finally" to herself. Cheon just laughed silently, knowing your qi senses were sharp enough to notice them all.)
