The first crack of thunder sends shivers down her spine in a slow crawl.  This wasn’t something they had last time.  But that would only figure wouldn’t it?  Since this was a repeat of course they would add something to make it up the difficulty.  Dahee makes the mistake of looking back at the forest behind them, seeing the dark clouds forming.  “Son of a bitch.”  She mutters under her breath and turns back to her target.  It’s selfish but she doesn’t want the other to see her lose her nerve.  Instead, she forces herself to take a deep breath and continues on to the next level, her grip tightening on the rocks unintentionally.  

It occurs to her a few rocks up that she should keep in communication with Yukwon.  This is one of the disadvantages to both of them being quiet.  Frankly it is a lot easier to talk when it’s about movies or something of the like, actual combat situations are more difficult.  Her mentor told her it could be because they both lacked confidence in their abilities.  Yeah, how is she supposed to bring that up in casual conversation?  Her grip slips slightly and Dahee shakes her head, forcibly clearing her thoughts and focusing on the task at hand again.  She really needs to stop letting her imagination get to her.  The fast approaching dark clouds seem to increase the cortisol levels of her partner, and her own. She takes a moment to will her own down and wishes that she was more capable of lowering his as well.

Although she can’t see him that well anymore, she can still hear what he claims he can’t do it.  She glances down at him and although she can only see his outline it doesn’t matter.  “We can do this.  We can.” The rain hits her neck first, crawling down her spine, leaving her with a cold shiver.  “One level at a time.  Just keep your head up and stay on target.”  She speaks as reassuringly as she can, hoping her voice sounds as determined as she feels in that moment.  

With a small huff, she inches upwards slowly but surely.  The rain has already soaked through her black shirt, weighing down on her heavily.  The bigger problem however is the way it affects the rocks and slope itself.  Surely as the instructor planned.  Dahee moves a little too quickly, a little too urgently and pays the price for it. Grabbing a seemingly secure rock, it slips from her grasp, her other hand putting too much pressure on the other rock and she slides down the cliff face a few feet until she grabs a tree branch, halting her descent.  Hissing at the slight burn on her arm, she pushes herself up again.  “Singing in the Rain makes this seem so much more fun.” She comments, trying not to seem too affected by it, though her tone is a little shaky.

“We can do this. We can,” Dahee’s voice made Yukwon connect with reality once again, his tunnel vision dissipating as he looked up to find his partner again, the distance between them closing due to the rain. “One level at a time. Just keep your head up and stay on target,” while the words were meant to be uplifting, he was losing his grip on the earth and he could feel his body growing warmer- a bad sign.

Yukwon meant to respond, but the sky cried out, loud thunder redirecting his thoughts back to the climb. The shower of rain, real and wet against his skin, soaked his clothing and weighed his body down so that each movement was harder than before. The muddy cliff was becoming unforgiving underneath his hold, rocks sinking to where his fingers were digging deep into the sludge to keep from losing his grip. Even Dahee became a victim to the changes in the earth, closing the gap between them a little further as she slid, causing Yukwon to reach up towards her, fear further bubbling at his core as he fell a few inches short of her feet.

There wasn’t a movie that had prepared him for such a specific situation and his eyes studied the immediate vicinity for a way to keep the two of them from falling, taking each vine, rock, and branch into consideration, hands planted deeply in the earth while he stalled. Yukwon hadn’t been known for his problem-solving skills, and the current scrimmage needed more than proficiency in climbing- there was a key to the successful run of this particular obstacle and they had yet to find it. It was time to think of a strategy.

“Dahee! Take your time!” he finally found his voice, ignoring the female’s ruse. “Just a few more feet and we can rest for a minute and regroup. Are you hurt any? There has to be a better way to beat this.”

It is moments like these that Dahee wishes she went rock climbing with her mother more often, maybe that would make her feel less sweaty and gross.  But she tries to remember all the advice she ever gave: keep your center of gravity right, test rocks before you pull up, don’t grip too tightly.  All of which can be difficult to remember in the moment even when she restates the advice to another.  Now, she wouldn’t admit this aloud but the fact Yukwon was here made her far more determined to do well than if she was alone.  Perhaps it’s the fact it’s an audience or she wanted to show off or wanted to prove they both could do it, Dahee really couldn’t tell.  Either way, it was strangely motivating.

When he yells some motivating words she glances down at him and grins brightly because yes they have gotten better, they can do this.   And seeing him move from his comfort zone is remarkably uplifting.  She looks back up to their first end zone and takes a deep breath.  “Look at us, kicking this cliff’s ass!”  She yells down at him but doesn’t risk another look.  I can do this.  One foot at a time.  So she continues her slow movement up, stopping for a moment when a rock shifts a little too much for her liking.  She looks around until another rock catches her eye, a bit farther than she wants to go but decides to risk it.  It pays off, this time at least but leaves an unsettling feeling in the pit of her stomach that she tries to shake off.  

The worst part is always pulling yourself up over the last obstacle and the same is for the cliff face. It takes her a moment to find a good grip and when she does, her arms are none too pleased with the strain. Thankfully she isn’t too tired just yet, but there were still several levels to go.  Once she reaches the top, she shakes out her slightly tired arms and walks to the edge where Yukwon almost is.  “I’m really proud of us right now, just saying!”  She half laughs, half speaks as she grins at the other.

Yukwon, contrary to his usual self, was proud, too.

He was proud, yet he should have known that in the year that he had attended Nexus, that nothing was the way that it seemed. While his lips pulled into an awkward smile (the only ones he could manage), there was booming thunder in the distance accompanied by dark clouds; the makings of a serious ‘dampening’ of their plans to be victorious. The sound sent a ripple through the forest, shaking the trees surrounding them and sending shocking doubt through Yukwon’s being as he temporarily froze, his grip tightening on the rocks that kept him from tumbling to the earth below.

Taking a deep breath, the brunette started to move; slowly at first, but he kept himself moving upward, carefully choosing each rock that protruded through the dramatic slope of the earth in front of him. The goal is only a few levels away, Yukwon. The pseudo-encouraging thoughts of his inner self had little affect on him and his breaths started to become more labored as the darkness from the storm clouds started to trump the light, the rocks becoming less visible from the mixture of the lack of light and the nervous vision that started to cause blurriness- but most obstacles were fine as long as his body didn’t start to change his fluids and make him untouchable to Dahee, who could possibly help him in the most crucial moments of the scrimmage. He could feel the hairs on the back of his neck stand up at the thought.

“I can’t do this,” Yukwon’s intended inner thought was said aloud as the first drop of rain made a dramatic splash on his forehead, running the length of his nose to sit at the tip- intense, yet manageable. As the rapidness of the rainfall increased, bit by bit, he started to push himself, grabbing the most stable of surfaces to keep the pads of his fingers from slipping; vine to branch to rock. From concentration, he lost sight of his partner and kept his impaired gaze upon his objective, inching his way towards the flat ground of the next level.

OFFENSE CLASS: I am seeking someone who may want to plot with me for the summer games. I’ll be honest. Yukwon isn’t that awesome, but he’s going to try pretty hard and bring his... B (rank) game?

OTHERS: Want to have a fun little plot for the festival? Yukwon is happy to fail at ring toss or eat something too spicy and make ugly faces. Shoot me a message or like this post and I’ll come to you ;)

When Dahee first arrived at the institute, she was skeptical of this class.  What in the world were they doing throwing a bunch of random kids together to handle a defense class?  Especially new kids.  Still, she hasn’t switched out of it despite the weird trust building exercises or the endless drills that beat down the participants.  Though it could mostly be attributed to her partner, Kim Yukwon. He wasn’t the strongest out of the class but she liked that.  They struggled together and Dahee had grown a bit of a soft spot for the other.  The movie night adventures certainly helped too. Now if only they could get the actual combat part down, they might make a pretty decent force to be reckoned with. That’s getting ahead of the game though, better to focus on the immediate task.

Yukwon’s cheerful declaration has a bit of a smile tugging at Dahee’s lips as she glances over at him. “Damn right we do.”  She agrees with a small nod of her head.  The first step is believing after all.  Out of habit she checked his stress level, it wasn’t too bad as of right now but it would be something to keep in mind as they went up in levels.  A part of her thinks that maybe she should be more upfront about her monitoring, but Yukwon was already aware of what she could do so she didn’t bother.  Courtesy had never been her strong suit in regards to something that happens automatically.  Hell, she’s a little stressed too.  Rock climbing wasn’t her strong suit that was for sure but she was advantaged with a smaller frame, it was easier to pull up and grip cracks in the rock.  “Make sure not to over-grip, okay?  Your hands will hate you in the morning.”  Some vague memory in the back of her mind told her that was important.  And how sore she was after last week’s scrimmage.

Goodness, at least it isn’t a cramped room like last month.  She almost lost her cool and her determination to keep that a secret was far too strong.

As with last time, Yukwon is the first to move and Dahee regards him quietly for a moment.  He seemed more confident this time, good. Flexing her fingers a few times, she grabs a secure rock and pulls herself up as well.  “One rock at a time.”  She says, more to herself but it was a reminder for him as well, they’d make it farther this time for sure.  And with that thought, she begins the slow ascent up the cliff in earnest.

[nxyukwon-blog]

It was as if Yukwon were in an alternate universe, where a confident and cool version of himself existed. Although he fell behind Dahee, he had made it slightly further than he had in the last scrimmage, and in half the time. This was truly a scene from a movie. One hand in front of the other, finding his footing in the unlikeliest of the places, he moved along, breathing in a steady rhythm that he kept to keep his body comfortable. Comfort was key as the ground at the bottom of the cliffs became further and further from the both of them- a place that he didn’t look to because of the fear that came with it. 

“We don’t have that much longer to go!” he yelled up to Dahee, eyes on her feet as she moved, the female obviously more agile and seasoned in the rock-climbing department. He felt the need to mimmic her actions, leaving his comfort zone in the trees and vines, fingers finding the nearest rock. 

You’ve done this before. And he had, although hardly graceful and ending in failure. Kim Yukwon had rock-climbed. Although the details were plenty embarrassing, the gym rat had tried that alternate form of fitness, finding himself slightly too bulky to be a successful hobby rock-climber. But at this very moment in time, he had wished on every tree that he had tried harder. The pads of his fingers would have probably felt the same, as they were automatically uncomfortable as he shifted his weight, now completely dependent on the rocks.

Jin Goo looked down at the table they were standing in front of. The equipment was very familiar to him, especially since he used those bullets himself. “Yeah, don’t worry. By the time we’re finished, you’ll be able to use this stuff and fight long range.” Of course, accuracy would improve with practice, but all the other stuff could be taught within the next hour or so. 

He pointed to the needle first, “We’re not going to touch this until later on.” He held up a bullet filled with water. “These are the bullets we’re going to be using today. They’re filled with water right now, but eventually, you’ll be putting your poison into here.” 

“First things first, let’s have you familiar with loading your gun. This handgun is called a glock 19, and it holds 15 bullets.” He showed the other how to properly load the bullets into the clip before inserting the clip into the handgun. Taking it all apart again, Jin Goo gestured to Yukwon, “Your turn.” 

[nxyukwon-blog]

Long range. For someone with the combat skills of Kim Yukwon, those two words were an absolute miracle, and the thought of being able to use his ability from a distance would ensure his survival- if he could only learn how to use this one gun. He had seen similar weapons in film, but nothing could prepare him for this lesson with Jin Goo, who could load and unload bullets without hesitation, whose movements looked fluid and natural. Yukwon couldn’t be like that, or at least that’s what he had convinced himself from the moment he saw the carefully placed items on the table in front of the two of them. Real life always became too real in these moments, yet his hands moved towards the clip, shaky fingers clutching it tightly.

“Ooookay,” Yukwon said to no one in particular, focusing on each bullet as he carefully placed them into the clip. One by one, slow and steady. With practice, all skills can be perfected, can’t they?

The slight spring of the internal components made each bullet push back against Yukwon’s fingers and while that made him slightly nervous, the fact that they hadn’t all exploded into a mess on the floor gave him the assurance he needed to move forward. Once each bullet had found its place in the clip, he slid it into the gun until he heard the oh-so-satisfying ‘click’ of success.

“Do I have to take it apart? You might need to show me that part again. I forgot,” he said with a nervous smile. Oops.

I’ve done this before. The obstacles were always familiar in this particular class, General Defense. The point of the class was to learn how to survive in different situations, advancing to new levels after mastering each obstacle. These obstacles ranged from the simple, the small-time mugger in an alley, to the difficult, the powerful mutant in the rainforest. The catch was that you were assigned one partner for the duration of the class, and you were to survive, or fail, together. I think I can do it this time. It was very possible that he, Kim Yukwon, could not do it this time. While he was gifted (as some would say), he was not talented.

“We got this!” Yukwon said cheerfully as he looked to his partner, Min Dahee. The two had been paired since the beginning of the semester, combining their wits and abilities to make their way through whatever was thrown at them, barely scraping by up to this point without any toxin disasters- a disaster in which he becomes toxic at the wrong time and takes out his own teammate. While the two had synced quite well outside of the institute over the better half of a year, the same could not be said of their synergy in combat (but they were working on that). While Dahee had been skilled at defense tactics and had a good grasp of her ability, Yukwon had been the weaker link of the two, being bit clumsy at times when it counted the most.

The danger room suddenly changed to the setting that it had been the week before, simple, yet mentally (for Yukwon) and physically draining. The pair was to make it up a series of cliff-like structures in a forest setting, beginning nearly 200 feet above the ground, the wind and uneven terrain making it an immediately uncomfortable situation. While they were essentially safe in such an advanced simulator, the uniqueness of each blade of grass and the dampness of the ground leaving mud clinging to the sides of the pair’s shoes made it feel as real as ever. Yukwon had lacked such advanced climbing skills and had only made it past a couple of cliffs, depending on the strongest of tree branches, unable to grip the small rocks. That was definitely on the list of things he would have to develop- Yes, it was a real list.

“L-let’s go,” he stumbled through the simple sentence as he grabbed for the nearest branch, easily pulling himself up to challenge the first cliff. Maybe he had learned something from the last attempt.

Yukwon had spent an entire year training, although it was hard to call it training, since he hadn’t made any significant improvements in that time. The problem with this particular moment was that he had successfully dodged weapons training and because of this, the extent of his knowledge on the subject went as deep as action films, where macho men could pick up any automatic weapon and shoot with frightening accuracy. Unfortunately, that was not the world that Yukwon lived in. He could hardly use a straw with such accuracy.

The young man stood awkwardly, staring down at the table, eyes studying each peace that laid before him: a tranquilizer gun, empty shots, shots filled with a clear substance, a towel, several glass cups, and a needle. What each item was for, Yukwon couldn’t tell you; but he did know the desired end result. Each item on the table was meant to extract his poison, fill individual shots with it, and use the tranquilizer gun to shoot this unique ammo. Easy, right?

“You’re going to show me how to do this, right?” Yukwon asked in a small voice, turning to look at the figure next to him; the weapons expert that was needed to make all of this happen, Jin Goo. “I’ve never used anything like this before. At all. Ever.”
