Chapter 45: Chapter 46: Am I Really Fighting Against Eun-soon (Part 4)
Days passed and soon, it was finally the day of the match. I put on 55 kg to go up against Eun-soon. Then again, my metabolism is so strong that I can lose all that if I don’t eat for a day. Oh, and I’m taller than Eun-soon as well. After Jong-woo, I got three more coaches, but just like Jong-woo, they all quit within a day. So in the end, my coach was Jinwoo. In the end, Jinwoo became my coach.
Still at the dorms.
“Sian, how much do you weigh?” Jinwoo asked.
“55 kg.”
“You match with Eun-soon exactly then, since she’s also 55kg. But you’re taller right?”
“I’m 168 cm.”
“Eun-soon is 163. You’ll have a higher reach than she does.”
Jinwoo threw out a kick of his own.
“But Sian,” Jia said as she approached me.
“Yeah?”
“Since you gained weight, your curves look way better,” Jia whispered.
“Do they?”
I looked down at my chest. It seems like they’re the only ones that actually got bigger.
“Sian, be sure to get at least one good blow in. Then, I’ll forfeit right after.”
Jinwoo waved the white flag in his hand. It seems that he really did intend to throw it in if I ended up getting beaten.
“Give it to Eun-soon.”
“Eh? Why would I give it to her? I have to have it. I brought another one as well, just in case.”
Jinwoo proudly whipped out another white towel. I clicked my tongue when I saw it. To think that he has so little faith in me.
A few minutes later, Jun-jin showed up and we all headed over to the KJOBBAB stadium. There, we’ll have a weigh-in and tomorrow, we fight.

We arrived. Jun-jin followed me around with his camera while the other members of Fifteen occupied themselves by taking a look around.
“Sian, are you nervous?” Jun-jin asked.
“There’s no reason to be nervous,” I replied with a shrug.
I really didn’t feel nervous at all. Not even a single bit.
“Dos that mean you think you’ll win against Eun-soon?”
“What do you think, Jun-jin?” I countered.
Suddenly, Jun-jin began to hesitate.
“Uh…uh, well…”
“Be honest. Who do you think will win?” I asked, flexing my fists.
The sound of my bones cracking was very nice today.
“If…if I were…to be honest…I think you…you might be able to win.”
“If I win, I win. What do you mean ‘might be able to?'”
As I spoke, I looked over at the JOBBAB girls standing by the scale. Those girls were sexy and curvy. The type of appearance that made you want to keep staring. If I were a guy, I’d definitely be into that.
“Sexy.” I observed them with a nod.
Jun-jin cut in.
“The JOBBAB girls are sexy, but I think the CIVA girls are sexier.”
CIVA girls. He was talking about the team from UCIVA, the top MMA team in the US.
“They are pretty sexy.”
They were foreigners, sexy ones at that. They were sexy and voluptuous, which was really a turn-on. I mean, attractive. But still…what good was it to just be attractive on the outside? Then, they’re most likely completely different on the inside. I should know – I’m a girl on the outside as well.
“But Sian, your body is way better compared to the JOBBAB girls,” Jun-jin said, giving my body a quick scan. I almost poked his eyes out then, but I let it go since what he said was true.
“Exactly. It’s not like I just lost that weight aimlessly.”
Suddenly, it was time for the weigh-in. Jin-woo wished me luck and the other members of Fifteen rushed over to massage me on my shoulders and arms. It’s just a weigh-in. Why are they making it into such a big deal?
“Go, Sian!” Hainan said, giving me a kiss on the cheek.
I could feel a smile forming on my face. I guess I am still a man, thank goodness. I was still a man and will forever be a man. I just had to make sure to not let go of my identity or my dignity!
Eun-soon stepped up to the scale. The moment she did, all the athletes began to cheer for her.
After Eun-soon, it was me. Then it was Jinwoo’s and the Fifteen members’ turn to cheer me on. Unfortunately, they’re not as loud as the MMA athletes. If I’d known, I would’ve posted something on SNS to ask the fans to come. Anyways, my weigh-in soon ended and our profiles were put up afterwards.
