fighting

I usually go down to Seohyeon subway station simply to get away from life here, on the mountain.

For the past two Fridays I've watched people pay to fight a boxer. Last week the boxer noticed me and asked me whether I wanted to fight. I declined. Last night the boxer asked me whether I wanted to fight and I declined, again. He insisted, dropping the price from 10 000\ to 3 000\. I tried to walk away but he simply stood there and the crowd was getting antsy at watching this foreigner try to back out of the deal. I turned around and put on the gloves.

Here goes nothing.
