"Ladies and gentlemen, if you guys have a weak stomatch, please turn away... because this is not going to be pretty." Knight warned to the viewers. "Dong Taeyang and "The Sinister" Shin Donghee finally clash here tonight at Superslam."

Taeyang enters the ring, leaps at the ropes and stares down a hole at Shindong before doing his taunt and proudly showed the golden telt in his grasp.

"Taeyang promised to show the world the evil son of a bitch they have ever seen before." Kwangsoo reminded. "And now he stands before us as a World Champion tonight."

"This is a Falls Count Anywhere match. That means you pick up the victory in this building, to be out of the street as a matter of fact. Taeyang, Shindong, for the World Championship title." Knight explained the rules to anybody who might have forget how does the stipulation works.

-----------------------------

5 minutes after the bell rang to officially start the match, the two collided with all their last stored might at one another, sending them all around in the arena.

Taeyang rudely kicks Shindong's face while he is crawling away in the ramp from him. "I've never seen this side of Taeyang before." Knight commented as they continue to watch him assaulting Shindong.

Taeyang picks up Shindong and threw him to the LED screen of the entrance way. "C'mon, Shinister!", he mocked as he weakly kicked his face then bounced his head on the screen.

Both went to the curtain, Taeyang punches Shindong leading him inside to the backstage area where the producers monitoring the match left and gave space for the two behemoths to proceed hurting each other while sparing theirselves from harm.

Taeyang fires a blow on Shindong's stomatch before attempting to lift him up for a powerslam but the latter refuses and fights back, pummeling Taeyang with multiple arm hits on the spine.

The two exchanged hits until Shindong took the advantage and threw Taeyang into the wall, shoulder and arm first on the bump. Shindong grabbed him again and he drove him on the other side of the wall after.

Shindong positioned Taeyang to prepare executing his finishing manoever, the Kiss Of Death where he kisses his opponent's forehead first before he rotates along with the head, slamming the face backwards straight at the ground.

He perfectly performed it, putting Taeyang unconscious for good. "That's gotta be it. No one's getting up from that." Kwangsoo reacted.

"And the cover now by The Shinister to win the Japan World Championship"

"1...2..."

Taeyang swayed his arm away, lifting his shoulder up to break the count and kick out at two. Shindong sat beside his beatened foe, and maniacally laughs at how Taeyang is determined to hold on and willing to take more pain just so he could submit once and for all under his hellish brute power.

-----------------------------------

Another 5 minutes have passed, Shindong and Taeyang's fight returned to the ring. Taeyang who is now leading the match under his control, is carrying Shindong's body over his shoulder to attempt for a second repeat of his own finisher, a running powerslam.

He ran, turned, jumped and drilled Shindong's body down on the mat. He hooked his leg and the referee began to count. "1...2..." but Shindong kicked out again.

"And if you're Taeyang you're gonna start wondering what the hell do I need to do to keep The Shinister down?" Knight stated as the camera flashes at Taeyang with bloody head muttering something out of rage in which it urged him to hammer fist Shindong's face repeatedly before screaming in anger on his front.

Taeyang rolled out of the ring and slowly walked around the ringside before he noticed something on the floor. A laid out opened toolbox with its contents scattered. He squatted and picked up a sharp object as he stared at it with fascination.

With a cruel idea, he reentered the ring and guards Shindong who is still down. He kneeled  on the vacant space and looked at the sharp object around his hand as he lets out a frightening laugh.

"The hell is Taeyang gonna do with a damn box cutter?" Knight confusedly asked before the answer was thrown at him when Taeyang started to slice through the mat of the ring.

"Taeyang is exposing the wood inside the ring." Kwangsoo replied as Taeyang spreads and tears off the thin foam and the canvas away to make the wood surface visible.

After he finished doing a little work to assist his plans, he turned around only to see a fully recovered Shindong standing and staring intimidatingly at him.

Taeyang immediately charges at Shindong but he catches him, hooking his arm around and squashes him down with a urinagi straight into the exposed ring area.

He wasn't done yet, as the tables suddenly  flipped, Shindong snatches the opportunity where he grabs the critically damaged Taeyang and sets him up again for a Kiss Of Death on the woodened surface in which he did succeed.

"Wait what? The Shinister isn't done yet?" Knight was baffled and even Kwangsoo as they thought Shindong is going to pin Taeyang already but it looks like the monster isn't finished yet with his agenda.

Shindong positioned Taeyang again on his hold, head locked around thd arm for another Kiss Of Death on the wood.

He finally covers Taeyang's completely knock- outed body and the referee counts. "1...2...3."

The bell rang on the signal and the timekeeper handed the world title belt on the referee as the entrance theme of Shindong played across the interior of the arena.

"Here is your winner and the NEW Japan Combat Federation World Champion, "The Shinister" Shin Donghee!!!" ring announcer Song Jihyo yelled into the microphone to declare the win for the brand new victorious champion.

"The Shinister is a champion again." Knight acknowledged Shindong's second world title run after winning it last year in 2019.

"Once more, darkness reigns over the Federation." Kwangsoo said. Shindong snatches the championship belt away from the hands of the referee who is presenting it in front of him.

He slowly rose from his feet and exhaustedly stood to raise his arms up with the belt in his hand to celebrate his another achievement before he sensed something danger coming against him.

He glanced at the side and the entire world went stunned when a familiar person appeared on the scene, tackling Shindong down with an emphatic spear before aggressively punching him in the head.

"What the- who the hell?!"

"You know who the hell is he!"

"OH MY GOD IT'S YUTA NAKAMOTO!!! THE GUARDIAN OF NCTIZEN IS BACK, AND HE'S BEATING THE HELL OUT OF THE NEW WORLD CHAMPION!!!" Knight exclaimed as they keep on witnessing the returning Yuta Nakamoto in action after being on a hiatus for months due to suffering from a virus infection since 2020 was when the pandemic started and spreads out around the globe, affecting all the people in every different countries.

All the fans watching that were visible on the screens provided as a temporary replacement for the arena's set-up during the pandemic were all making the different shapes of reaction to Yuta's return: shock, disapproval, and hype.

"And now he's got his eyes set on The Punisher!" Knight said as Yuta glanced at the weakened Taeyang on the ringside. He rolled out at the other side and starts to run towards at Taeyang to unleash a massive spear into his midsection.

"DID YOU TWO SERIOUSLY FORGOTTEN ABOUT ME?!" Yuta asked, talking to both Shindong and Taeyang who were taken out by him. He looked down at Taeyang laid on his feet. "I MADE YOU! DON'T ACT LIKE YOU'RE THE BIGGEST THREAT AS LONG AS I'M HERE!"

Yuta went to the timekeeper's area and grabbed a steel chair with him which he used to brutally smash it on Taeyang's back and his left arm.

"Yuta Nakamoto is mangling the chair out of the fallen body of Dong Taeyang!" Kwangsoo said.

Yuta threw away the chair bended in half and went back in the ring to set his sight on target at Shindong crawling in fours. He stood at the corner and prepares himself to create another attack on the champion.

"The Shinister, the World Champion has no idea what's going on. He has no idea where he's at. He was blindsided by Nakamoto moments ago." Knight said as they all wait for Shindong to realize the pain he's about to take.

Yuta charged and speared Shindong again for the second time. He stood up and fixed his shirt as he breathes out the effects of the impact he showed tonight.

"Yuta Nakamoto is back with an empathic statement."

Yuta observed something beside the unconscious Shindong. The golden belt in the ground, he grabbed it and admiringly looked at it as he switches his gaze to the current holder of it.

"What is this? You think you can handle the responsibility?" Yuta asks Shindong as he threatens him while holding the belt. "So this is what's all for, huh? No. You're just a freak, out of your mind. I'm the man. I'm the guy, I'm the one."

The show ended with Yuta Nakamoto officially makes his return back in Japan Combat Federation as Shindong's new challenger for the World Championship in which everyone didn't see that coming.

----------------------------------

AUGUST 28, 2020 | 1 WEEK LATER

The general manager of both main rosters, Monday Night War and Friday Night Knockdown Bang Sihyuk knocks on the door thrice to drew the attention of the occupant inside.

"Yuta, it's me Bang Sihyuk!" he exclaimed. Not having any responses by receiving a "get in!" signal or the door opening for him, Sihyuk had no other choice but to do it by himself, muttering "Alright, then" under his breath.

He entered the locker room, meeting Yuta inside who is organizing his things. "Oh thank God you're here, I was looking for you everywhere."

He opened the folder, showing the paper content inside of it to Yuta. "Here's the official contract for your Triple Threat match at Retribution."

"Let's see this thing."

"I'll show it to you."

Sihyuk handed the ballpen to Yuta but he didn't grabbed it from him. "I'm gonna check this out first with someone. Is that alright?"

"Yeah. Go. Sure, take your time." Sihyuk nodded before he left the locker room. Yuta picks up his phone and made a phone call, informing somebody that he finally received it and got updated in return that "he" is on his way now in the arena.

----------------------

Two matches has passed for tonight's show, Sihyuk decided to check over Yuta regarding the contract signing.

He entered his locker room again, and in his surprise, he recognized a very familar individual sitting beside Yuta on the couch.

"A-are you done, now?" Sihyuk asks Yuta who is reading the contract.

He massaged his chin, pursed his lips and popped it before he speaks. "Let me tell you this, I want you to fix the changes that I need. I assure you right now, I will be on Retribution this Sunday. That is a promise." Yuta said to Sihyuk who is switching looks to him and the other person with them in the room.

"I will be in the Triple Threat match, destroy everyone and vanish. That's a guarantee, and I will win back the World Championship that I never lost in the FIRST PLACE." Yuta added, referring to his previous reign that was unfortunately cut short with regards to his health condition where he was forced to vacate the title as a consequence for taking a time off away from the company.

"And that's not just a prediction..." He turns his head to the side, now his and Sihyuk's attention are both glued at this mysterious person making the general manager distracted. Grinning from ear to ear, he looked back at Sihyuk to end his statement.

"... that's a spoiler."

The camera's frame widens, revealing the identity of the man, who is none other than one of the most legendary managers in pro-wrestling and combat entertainment history who held many iconic fighters that ever stepped foot in the industry, Park Jinyoung.

He leans forward to make his words clearer to hear for Sihyuk. "Believe. That."

Him and Yuta looked at each other with an interesting smirk as they nod their heads, teasing everyone who is watching at their homes about their newly formed affiliation.

-----------------------------

AUGUST 30, 2020 | 2 DAYS LATER

Japan Combat Federation held their Retribution pay-per-view in Hokkaido. The show's main-event features the Triple Threat match which includes the rivals Dong Taeyang, "The Shinister" Shin Donghee, and Yuta Nakamoto who is making his first match since his months-length of absence.

Strangely enough, the match started with only Taeyang and Shindong present in the ring when the referee signalled for the bell to rang immediately as Taeyang plowed Shindong to the back of his neck while he was performing his entrance in the ring.

They forgot about Yuta supposedly to be included also in the match, and it proceeded instead with only Taeyang and Shindong fighting each other off for the World Championship.

"Taeyang going after at The Shinister, still upset after what happened last week."

Taeyang ran through Shindong and collided his body on him at the corner before lifting him all over and slam him down on the mat.

He made a quick cover, looking to end the champion earlier than expected. "1...2..." but Shindong kicks out.

Taeyang just laughs at the toughness of Shindong until the latter just stood back up like a possessed madman, only to be caught when Taeyang drives him to the turnbuckle and deliver some right hand shots and headbutts before he tries to splash him again on the corner.

However, Shindong finally manages to prevent the Punisher by blocking him with a crossbody, two heavyweights involved in a collision.

Shindong stalks Taeyang who is groaning in pain. He sets him up for a Kiss of Death and he nailed it. A cover was made "1...2..." but Taeyang kicks out.

Taeyang crawls out of the ring. Shindong pursues the challenger but Taeyang caught him with a choke, then a knee to the stomach and elbow shots at the back. He was about to smash his head on the edge of the ring but Shindong counters, taking his turn to attack with his own hits and returns the attempt back at Taeyang, bouncing his head off at the ring.

The two titans continues to apply pain at ond another. Shindong wraps Taeyang and performs a urinagi slam to him right through the announce table as it exploded on the impact.

---------------------------

Their grueling and intense fight created a slightly similar feel to their match back at Superslam when both of them were now brawling at each other around the ring.

Shindong punches Taeyang on the stomach and sets him up again for another Kiss Of Death but on the steel ramp this time but Taeyang was able to block him with a headbutt to the forehead, escaping from his possession.

He punches Shindong on the face. Noticing that he is now standing at the end of the stage, Taeyang did an unbelievable spot by pouncing at Shindong and send theirselves crashing through the tables stacked below.

"We anticipated chaos and destruction, but these two have no bounds." Kwangsoo said.

Taeyang slowly gets off from Shindong's side and continues to hammer his fists around his face. He stands up and leaned at one of the equipment machines for the stages to heavily breath off his exhaustion caused by the ongoing battle.

Afte resting a little, he pulls Shindong's hair upwards and carried him all the way back in the ring.

Taeyang climbs at the top rope, looking to fly and land through Shindong to apply more damage but the immortal-like ability of Shindong assists him to recover eventually and fires an uppercut at Taeyang's face.

Shindong joins Taeyang on the turnbuckles and proceeded to attack him.

"These two entities, these two monsters climbing at the top of the ring."

"There's a great deal of humanity in the ring ropes even though neither of these were close to being a human"

Shindong clutches Taeyang's head around his arm and sets him up on the corner before performing a superplex to the top rope, and in everybody's bewilderment and amusement, the ring collapses at the massive impact it took.

"Oh my goodness, The Shinister has Taeyang in position for a superplex! O-OH MY GOD!"

"WHAT THE HELL! THE RING IMPLODED!" Knight and Kwangsoo reacted in utter awe as they watched the ring bounce and deconstruct. The posts bended, the ropes untangled, the referee was yeeted out of the ring, both fighters down in the destroyed battleground.

The arena then played Yuta's entrance theme, alarming everyone who might've forgotten already that Yuta is still included in the match. "And at this moment, with both men down. Here comes the Guardian of NCTizen, with Park Jinyoung in tow."

Yuta with a steel chair in hand emerged along with Jinyoung holding the contract for him. He took out the ballpen and gave it to Yuta for him to sign the contract.

Yuta starts to march in the ramp with steel chair in his hand as a weapon, completely legal based on the No Holds Barred rules.

He entered the collapsed ring, rolled Shindong around to pin him but he noticed that no referee was present anymore. He commanded one from backstage to get out and substitute.

One listened and runs through the ring to count. "1...2..." It's too late as Shindong kicks out at two, much in Yuta's disbelief.

He shook his head, then proceeded to hook Shindong's leg again for another cover. "1...2..." and a kick out still.

Yuta panics. He decided to switch to Taeyang and cover. "1....2..." but yet also, the Punisher is still holding on to his strength.

He figures out what to do next. He grabs again the steel chair that he left on the ringside and starts smashing it on Taeyang's back repeatedly.

Yuta pins Taeyang again, thinking it might finally work "1...2.." but still, it wasn't enough as Taeyang refuses to stay down.

Yuta confusedly looked at Taeyang and wondering why is he still fighting with everything he can when he knew he's losing the advantage of the match.

He tried to attack Shindong next with a steel chair but it prevented Yuta when he chokes him out with a mandible claw manouvre stuffing his fingers down into Yuta's throat only to receive a low blow on his crotch.

Him enduring the pain sends him rolling out of the ring. Yuta covers his mouth to ease the pain that he felt on that part before ficusing back on the action, setting himself on the corner as he eyed Taeyang slowly getting up back to his knees.

As Taeyang rotates, Yuta engaged a spear to him, putting him down. He covered Taeyang for the third and final time.

"1...2...3."

The referee signalled for the bell and Yuta's entrance theme played. "Here is your winner and the NEW Japan Combat Federation World Champion, Yuta Nakamoto!!!"

Jinyoung laughs and applauds for Yuta on the stage as he watches him being presented by the golden belt. Yuta grabs it and accepts the declaration by the referee to raise his arm in victory.

"Nakamoto regaining the title he never lost." Knight said at the aftermath of the main event.

"Listen, Yuta did exactly what he filed to do but I don't think Yuta even expected it to do this way. It doesn't matter anyway, because we got a brand new World Champion!"

"But wait, Kwangsoo. What about the way Yuta did this? He waited for the opportunity. He walked down here, signed the contract on the way to the ring..."

"...exactly what Yuta said he's going to do. Destroy everyone and vanish."

The show ended with Yuta approaching Jinyoung praising him for his title win, marking the beginning of his historic championship reign in the main roster of Japan Combat Federation.

----------------------------------

SEPTEMBER 4, 2020 | 5 DAYS LATER

For this week's episode of Friday Night Knockdown, the brand new World Champion Yuta Nakamoto and Park Jinyoung are both scheduled to appear tonight for a segment, to address everyone and explain about their relationship.

Yuta with his golden belt around his shoulder, standing beside Jinyoung with a usual microphone in his hand fitting for his expertise.

"Just when you thought I was out, HE... pulled me back in." Jinyoung starts his speech, pointing his finger at Yuta staring seriously at one of the cameras recording them live.

"Oh please, don't make fools out of yourselves and embarass yourselves pointing your accusatory fingers at me for corrupting him, because I assure you... HE is corrupting ME."

"Let me ask you a question, what happened to the thank yous, the appreciation to all the selfish executive decisions through life-threatening illneses this man has delivered?"

"Let me tell you this one time, so you can get this into your thick unappreciative skulls. Ladies and gentlemen, my name... is Park Jinyoung, and I serve as the special adviser for YOUR Empire Chief, YOUR reigning, defending, undisputed World Heavyweight Champion... Yuta Nakamoto.", Jinyoung said, announcing to everyone his role in Yuta's life while introducing a new side into the man's entire personality.

He handed the microphone to Yuta, while he remained behind and watch him patiently.

"I'm a man of my word." Yuta speaks out his message. "I did exactly what I was about to do in Retribution. I signed the contract, I destroyed Shindong, I destroyed Taeyang and I left as your World Heavyweight Champion."

"At Battle Of The Champions, I don't care who I am gonna face. Monster or man, watch them get enslaughtered by me because THIS IS MY TERRITORY."

"And when you have this kind of power, all you have to do... is show up and win."

After they ended the segment, they walked through the backstage to make their leave on the arena. In the middle of their way, Yuta plastered a grin on his face as he get to crossed paths with one of his cousins, YN Myoui who is clapping his hands loud enthusiastically.

"OH YES SIRRR! LOOK WHO IT IS!" YN shakes hand with Yuta. "WELCOME BACK, THE NEW WORLD CHAMPION!"

He waved at Jinyoung who nodded and smiled at him. "Oh man, you really made our family proud! Yo, I've been texting you for a whole week, man. What were you up to?"

"I'm sorry, man. I was busy, alright?"

He commanded Jinyoung to go first and prepare the car for him.

"Can I ask you something, man?"

"What is it?"

"What's with you and JYP?" He asked intriguingly with a mix of doubt in his tone. "After all he'd put you in, bro? You trust him?"

"Wait, don't worry. I know, okay. I got it under control", Yuta calms down YN, understanding his point knowing that Jinyiung has been once a manager of some of his previous best rivals throughout his career.

"Everything is all in line, just let me handle this okay?"

"If you need somebody to watch your back, you know I got you. Always."

"I know. I love you, man but I have to go." Yuta bid his farewell to his cousin who still has a match upcoming for tonight.

"Okay. See ya!" He watches Yuta walk away, but he just remembered something when Yuta was already quite far away from him already."

"Wait, yo! Wanna grab some steak with me after the show ends?"

As expected, Yuta couldn't hear his invitation anymore.

--------------------------

Jinyoung received a notification from his phone while he is in the middle of driving.

He tapped the screen to check, the information displayed on it.

As he quickly reads it to maintain his focus more on the road, he blinked his eyes rapidly when he understood what the update is sharing.

"Uhm, sir..." he called at Yuta who is busy playing a game on his phone.

"What?"

"Did you know that YN had a match earlier tonight?"

"No." Yuta answered. "He did?"

"Yes sir."

"What's the match and the result?"

Jinyoung cleared his throat before speaking as he wasn't sure what his Empire Chief would feel about this.

"Mr. Sihyuk organized a Fatal 4-Way match earlier with the winner to be the number one contender and your first challenger for your World Championship at Battle Of The Champions-

"Yeah, I knew that he will." Yuta replied, interrupting his sentence. He then furrowed his eyebrows and paused the game. "Wait, so YN is in the match?"

"Y-Yes, sir...

... and he won the match too."

Yuta slowly raised his head and stared at the reflection of the nervous Jinyoung in the rearview mirror as his reaction to the unexpected information that was given to him.

Minatozaki Sana, the Honorary Muse for The Bloodline is currently having a match together with MAMAMOO's Solar for this week's Friday Night Knockdown.

In the ring, Sana lifts up Solar and throws her down with a powerslam. She walks out of the ropes and climbs at the turnbuckle. YN who is on the ringside watching along with Moonbyul, raises his finger to the sky.

Viewing Solar who is slowly rising back from her feet, Sana stood straight and was about to hit a double axe handle but she was caught by a dropkick by Solar, putting both of them down. YN covered his mouth in shock at the impact.

Back again at each other, Solar ran through Sana and dodges her attempted left hook, she went bouncing on those ropes and was about to give Solar a kick but the latter caught her feet in no time, they fell together until Sana decides to roll Solar for a pinfall.

"1...2.."

Solar kicks out. They both stood up again, and this time Solar seeks the momentum when she hit Sana with a leaping knee straight to her forehead. Solar covered Sana for the win.

"1...2..."

Sana kicks out. After some few moments of them exchanging attacks at each other, it led Solar sitting at the turnbuckle. Sana was about to her but the defense was activated to blow some knuckles atop of the Honorary Muse's head and a kick to make her kneel on the ground.

Solar starts to set off both her feet on the top rope but Sana charges again, now she tries to push off Solar but she gets ducked instead. Sana climbs at the corner and hooks Solar's head for a possible superplex but Solar fires hits on her midsection before ending it with a headshot to get rid of her.

Without no more distraction, Solar positioned like a frog at the top turnbuckle and slowly stands to fly away at Sana but instead, the outcome went opposite as Sana quickly backs up and finally pushes off Solar out of the ring. The height of her fall has what made Solar to unable to stand for a while after crashing to the ringside.

Sana grabs Solar and rolls her back in the ring.  Going for another slam, Solar avoided it and chops Sana's chest, then ran through a hopes with a clothesline maneuver. Down on the mat, Solar climbs again on the turnbuckle but Sana rolls off the harm's way.

"And here comes Solar, going off the top rope, taking out Sana!" commentator Knight Yoo said as Solar targets Sana with a cannonball dive to continue the assault on her outside. Moonbyul cheers for Solar while YN is looking agitated at Sana's condition so far.

As the two fighters went back in the ring, Moonbyul and YN got into a confrontation. The referee saw them narrowing their gaps together as they argue and starts to warn them.

That didn't prevent YN to just unleash a thunderous superkick at Moonbyul, releasing his stress at her. Solar saw what happened, she was about to call out YN but Sana pulls her back and performs her Purple Thunderbomb signature move at Solar.

She pins her enemy "1...2..." but Solar kicks out at two. YN starts to encourage Sana to keep fighting and don't let herself get beaten.

With another sequence of attacks from two opposite profiles, Solar finally strikes a double axe handle at Sana to get dizzy. She makes the crowd to join her hype the finisher she's about to execute on Sana to finish the match, clapping her hands altogether with the chant saying "MAMAMOO".

"Solar got Sana where she wants her, but wait a minute; YN Myoui climbs to the ring to draw the ire of Solar!" Knight called on the right hand man's action as YN received a punch instead on Solar for doing that.

The distracted Solar got surprised by a roll up by Sana and the referee began to count.

"1...2.."

Solar kicks out. She tries to hit Sana with her finisher, the Decalcomanie spinning heel kick but Sana dodges. She stood behind, lift her off with her own attempt of the Purple Thunderbomb but Solar ducks under and flips Sana for another cover.

"1...2.."

Unknown to the referee, YN offers a back up as he push back Solar using his feet to her chest, allowing Sana to roll the pin against Solar.

"1...2...3!"

"YN Myoui with the kick, reverses, Sana with the win! YN hands the win for Sana!" Knight exclaims as the referee signalled for the bell to rang.

"Here's your winner, Minatozaki Sana!" the ring announcer Song Jihyo declares as YN slides to the ring and lifts the victorious Sana raising her fists. He patted her in the shoulder and sent her congratulations.

----------------------------

"Tonight. Momo, you get the job done for The Bloodline just like I get the job done for The Bloodline." Sana said as she motivates Momo who is crossing her arm, scheduled also for a match tonight.

"Yeah, you're welcome though. You're welcome, Sana." YN said.

Sana furrowed her eyebrows in confusion. "For what?"

"The Empire Chief wants me to give you the W and that's what I did, muse." YN explained.

"How?" Sana blurted. YN's stare began to increase its intensity again, not liking how this is going for him.

"Look, YN I get all of that on my own and for once I would like to appreciate a credit for me." Sana replied, pointing at herself. "Is that too much to ask?"

"Wait, Sana are you kidding me right now?" YN expresses his disbelief. "Yo, Momo! Tell me you saw that. Tell me you saw what happened back there."

"Nope, I didn't." Momo answered. "I missed it. I was watching Sana, and I'm learning a lot from you, muse." she said at Sana.

YN scoffs, turns his body around and seethes in his temper as he covers his face with his hands.

"And you have learned a lot from me, Momoring! Now, you're going to follow my footsteps. The former 3-time Southeast Asia Champion. Tonight, you're gonna be out there on your own and you're gonna ran through all of those fools to become the number one contender for the Southeast Asia Championship. That championship... is yours." Sana pours all of her inspiring message for Momo who is nodding at the words she listens to.

"You know what, after I level up tonight. When I embodied these fools, I'mma have me get a piece of a gold for myself too." Momo sweared.

-------------------

OCTOBER 21, 2023 | 1 WEEK LATER

Hirai Momo is scheduled for a fight against the leader of BLACKPINK stable, Lisa Manoban after their little altercation that happened back in the Fatal 4 Way match for the No. 1 Contender opportunity to face for the Southeast Asia Championship, in which costs both of them to lose.

The Bloodline members, the twins YN and Mina Myoui, the current Japan Combat Federation Tag Team Champions and the "Honorary Muse" Minatozaki Sana watches on the ringside for Momo while Kim Jisoo and Park "Rosé" Chaeyoung is there also to support Lisa.

During the match, Momo chops Lisa on the neck, ran through the ropes and fires a spinning leg bump to her. As she approaches Lisa, she throws her rather out of the ropes and blows a forearm at Momo's spine.

Lisa was about to position Momo for her signature 10 Beats Of Boombayah by hooking her arms each on the ropes but Momo struggles until she gives a hard elbow at the side of Lisa's face.

Lisa holds Momo's hands and tugged her arms down on the ropes to apply pain on her shoulder. Momo tried to reach Lisa but she dragged her out instead to the ringside.

Lisa sat and leaned her back on the steel steps to rest for a little but the adrenaline cursing over Momo won't let her be in peace as she charged at the hurting fighter with a rear bump, driving onto Lisa's weakened shoulder again.

Few minutes later, Lisa regained the advantage. She hooks the exhausted Momo's arms on the ropes and locks it before pounding her arms on her chest for the 10 Beats of Boombayah, with the crowd chanting the counts.

It was supposed to be just ten, but Lisa is too frustrated that she gave an extra five more beating at Momo as she slowly collapses on the apron after the breathtaking pounding that she received.

"Lisa and the BLACKPINK are all fired up here tonight guys." Knight said as Lisa stood in the corner and points at the crowd chanting along with the members for her. She starts to taunt her finishing move, the Shut Down kick.

She marches at Momo but avoids and rather unleashed a superkick on her face, it stumbled Lisa and bounced on the ropes only to elicit a high knee in return to Momo's face.

Lisa covers Momo "1...2..." but Momo kick out just before the referee shouts three.

That brought the Bloodline in shivers as they got nervous thinking Momo would almost lose there. Sana climbs on the apron and complains on the referee but Jisoo pulls her leg down, making her head bump on the ring. Mina to the rescue, gave Jisoo a superkick that sends her atop of the announce table.

Rosé came to avenge her partner as she charges at Mina and aggressively punches her but YN superkicks Rosé, joining her partner beyond the announce table.

"And now, the announce table gets put on the top of BLACKPINK! Rosé and Jisoo are trapped by The Myouis!" Knight exclaimed as he and his commentary partner Lee Kwangsoo watched their area get destroyed in order to use as a way to eliminate the fighters.

Lisa saw what happened, she climbs on the top turnbuckle and jumps at The Myouis witj a double clothesline.

She returns to the ring, Momo approached her and she gave her a weak albow due to how tired she already is.

As she was about to enter, Sana grabs Lisa's leg but ended up getting kicked only to allow Momo to kick the arm where Lisa's damaged shoulder is located.

Momo shouts her battlecry, she clutches on Lisa and slams her down with her finisher, the Ultra Urinagi before going for the cover.

"1...2...3"

Sana raised her fists up in joy as she witnessed her co-member and friend take the victory for The Bloodline, thanks to her help.

"Here is your winner, Hirai Momo!!!"

After the match, Sana enters and congratulates Momo while YN grabbed Lisa and threw her outside the ring.

Lisa still tried to fight back but she got cornered by all the four members of The Bloodline, assaulting her all at once.

YN commands Sana and Mina to grab some steel chairs on the timekeepers area and they did.

Momo sets up the weakened Lisa on the steel steps, YN steals the chair out of Sana's hand who got startled, Mina locked Lisa's bad arm on the chair while Momo continues to punch Lisa.

"Lisa Manoban is helpless, Rosé and Jisoo are still here buried under the announce table." Knight said.

"THIS IS FOR DISRESPECTING MY FAMILY!!!" YN yelled at Lisa, he hits the chair twice on the floor before proceeding to smash it on the chair where Lisa's bad arm is locked in.

"OH NO!!! HE'S TRYING TO BREAK LISA'S ARM! SOMEBODY STOP THEM!!!" Knight reacted pitifully as Lisa shouts in torment while YN repeatedly smashes the chair on her arm for 7 times.

"JUST GET THE DAMN SECURITY OUT HERE" Kwangsoo agreed on Knight.

Sana interrupts YN and asks him to stop before Momo and Mina lets go of Lisa, letting her clutch her damaged arm and grit in pain.

"You don't bad mouth, you don't cross the family, you don't cross the Bloodline. This is their primal domination." Knight said on the final shot of Momo, Mina, Sana and YN surrounding the viciously assaulted Lisa being checked upon by the medical team before the show ends.

--------------------------

OCTOBER 28, 2023 | 1 WEEK LATER

After what happened to their leader Lisa Manoban in the merciless hands of The Bloodline, Rosè and Jisoo are out for payback against them.

They requested a match on General Manager Bang Sihyuk and he agreed, which he decided to make them face off against Minatozaki Sana and Hirai Momo.

As they made their entrance and wait in the ring, the camera shifts on The Bloodline behind the curtain, with Mina and YN cheering both Sana and Momo for their match tonight.

"YN, can I have a word with you for a sec?" Sana excused YN who looked at her seriously.

"Listen, tonight is a big night for us, okay?" Sana said as YN listened. "You understand what I'm saying here?"

"Let me guess, you don't want me to get involve tonight, don't you?"

"No, no. The exact opposite of that. Tonight is all hands on deck. Okay, last night was a bit of a black heart for The Bloodline. Yuta Nakamoto is not here yet, The Empire Chief is not here yet. When he gets here, the first thing he needs to see is all of our arms raised in victory, okay?" Sana continued.

"Look, a couple of weeks ago, you helped me against Solar. I saw it, so I need that tonight.  Can you do that for me? Can you bring that energy tonight?"

YN nodded and slapped his title belt. "Yeah."

"There we go. Alright, lets go!" Sana clapped as all of them make their way out of the curtain while Momo's theme began playing in the arena.

------------------------------

"Tag!"

After Jisoo successfully escaped Sana's control by giving her a dropkick to reverse the advantage, she made a tag to Rosé to prevent Sana from reaching Momo.

Sana tried to attack Rosé but she was greeted by a clothesline, then a shoulder tackle and a flying one as she increased the speed of her sprint through the ropes.

As Sana went to the corner, Rosé didn't stop her barrage of attacks as she fired a couple of splashes on the Honorary Uce before she got stopped with a boot to the face.

Sana ran through the hopes and attempts to hit Rosé with a crossbody but Rosé's strength enabled her to catch the enemy with a smile on her lips. Twisting the body, she planted Sana down in the mat before the referee counts the pin.

"1...2..."

Sana kicks out at two. "Panic in the eyes of The Bloodline, this is slipping away in the worst possible time." Kwangsoo commented as he viewed YN and Mina's nervous demeanor after Sana barely made it alive.

Rosé placed Sana bending under her, grabs her underneath to perform a powerbomb but as she had her in the air, Sana hammered her head to let go.

She stayed on the ropes, Rosé went closer but Sana shooed her away with an albow. Momo returned to the ring and tagged Sana who proceeded to went back at Rosé who lifted her up but Momo saved her with a superkick.

The stunned Rosé was pushed from behind by Sana for Momo to recieve and carry her instead for a Samoan Drop before doing another cover.

"1...2..."

All of The Bloodline's fingers raised was brought down again after they thought Momo almost had it but the BLACKPINK member fights back at two and a half count.

Momo watched Rosé stumbling on her knees and feets as she tries to stand back up. She clawed her head and slowly tugged it upward, leading it near to her face as she mocks.

"Who the hell do you think you are, huh?" Momo slapped Rosés head. "Do you know who we are?"

Momo attempted some blows on the sides of Rosés abdomen but she got it both locked within her own grasp. The two stared very between each other, their face and bodies closer, realizing that none of them could get released unless one of them should provide hurt as a key.

Rosé headbutts Momo who instantly felt that stinging pain in her forehead. She returned the same until both of them were now exchanging shots of headbutts, creating red spots and a slight cut of wound from Momo's head that caused her to bleed a little.

They ran from the ropes, until Momo launches a clothesline over Rosé, both fighters down in the ring.

Sana opens her hand, free for Momo to reinsert her into the match, so as Jisoo who is doing the same for Rosé.

Rose was the first to crawl faster and reach Jisoo but was followed afterwards by Momo who hurried at Sana. The two are now legal competitors to fight. Sana slapped Jisoo and strikes back with a slap of her own too.

They touched their aching cheeks and lip at the impact until Sana initiates a high boot at Jisoo before rotating her around and position her for the Purple Thunderbomb but Jisoo added pressure to her weight and wrapped Sana's head to a side headlock as she drilled repeated elbows on her skull.

She tried to run ahead but Sana grabs her outfit and pulled her back for another attempt of the Purple Thunderbomb but Jisoo's quick instincts helped her reverse the move, dragging Sana down and sets her up to a surfboard submission move. Mina went to the apron to cause a distraction but she ate a kick from Jisoo rather.

Sana rolls up Jisoo by hooking her leg from behind, looking to steal a victory. "1...2..." Jisoo kicks out, and dashes at Sana who countered her instead for an explorer suplex to the corner.

"Sana has now put Jisoo where she wants her, aiming for her Helluva Kick finishing manouver." Knight said as he watched Sana taunts Jisoo from the distance to show her face.

Sana runs but Jisoo dodges and kicks her to the back of her neck. The collapsed Sana is now available for Jisoo to climb on the turnbuckles and go crashing against her but Momo hangs on to her feet, not too long though as Jisoo pushes off her head.

That wasn't a bother to Sana as she mocks the preparing Jisoo to perform a moonsault but her intentions to trick the opponent was interrupted by YN who grabbed her feet and pulled her out of the ring.

"What are you doing?!" Sana looked at YN puzzledly.

"It's cool, she was about to jump on you!" YN reasoned.

"I had her, YN!" Sana said as she caressed her face irritatingly.

"Yeah, it ain't like it?!"

"I got a strategy, okay?"

"I was protecting you, Sana!"

Meanwhile, Momo sweeps off Jisoo's feet who is watching the two members of The Bloodline argue at each other. She walks over to the quarreling section where the two obvious and predictable people with beef at one another going out at it again.

"See! That's how you help, that's how you help, YN!" Sana compared Momo's action to YN's

"Oh really? I'm trying to help you out, Sana... but if you don't get out of my face right now, I'm about to get you!" YN warns Sana's unappreciative manner.

"Wait, calm down..."

"Hey, relax YN! Break it up, now!" Momo joins Sana on cooling off the pent-up boiling anger of YN, spreading her arms between the two but YN just keeps brushing off her hand.

Too busy with their argument, they weren't aware that Rosè just surprised every one of them by charging on their huddle, plowing both YN and Momo with a shoulder bump.

Sana re enters the ring to get out of the harms way, she called out Rosé for what she did before focusing her attention on the immovable Jisoo laying down on the ring. She grabbed her but in her shock, Jisoo rolled her up, hooking her leg while the other was tangled around on Jisoo's leg to make the cover unescapable.

"1...2...3!"

The bell rang. Knight and Kwangsoo reacted in astonishment as they saw Sana and Momo of The Bloodline lose over Jisoo and Rosé of BLACKPINK despite how that wasn't even suppose to end that way as from what they knew.

"Here are your winners, the team of Kim Jisoo and Rosé!!!"

"Again, the issues of Minatozaki Sana, YN Myoui and the rest of The Bloodline blew up in their faces here tonight. BLACKPINK with a huge win here on Knockdown." Knight stated as the crowd cheered for Rosé and Jisoo who successfully get their redemption and revenge for their leader, Lisa Manoban who is watching proudly on her home while resting.

"Minatozaki Sana and YN Myoui's tenious relationship here in Kyoto. They might be about to explode." Kwangsoo shares his thoughts as everybody is just watching Sana and YN continue to argue inside the ring while Momo and Mina just problematically witnessing their childish behavior.

Momo tries to calm down YN again but like earlier, he is swiping off her hand. Momo stares sharply at YN before his attention was stole by Mina who rotated him around to connect his deadly stare rather at her twin brother.

YN went silent for a second as she looked around again to see Sana and Momo's stressed faces before all them felt tense in their veins as they heard the familiar theme echoed inside the arena.

The Empire Chief has arrived in Kyoto.

"I believe there's gonna be a hell to pay." Knight said.

"The kids are in trouble." Kwangsoo replied.

As the beat drops from Yuta's theme, Knight followed his statement. "Daddy's home. The Highness Of The Land, The Leader Of The Bloodline, the current Japan Combat Federation World Champion Yuta Nakamoto with his Special Adviser Park Jinyoung, and the look on YN Myoui's face tells the story. This is gonna be a very uncomfortable conversation for the family."

YN has a troubled expression as they viewed his cousin make his entrance by raising his belt with the pyro popping off in the background before walking down in the ramp.

"You're done messed up, now you gotta face the consequences." Kwangsoo said as Yuta stops in his tracks and glanced at the four guilty members of his empire waiting for him to settle their issue altogether.

As Yuta enters the ring with Jinyoung, he showcased again his golden title belt to the crowd before Jinyoung requested a microphone for him.

He gave it to Yuta who cleared his throat before starting his speech off with his famous catchphrase. "Kyoto... RECOGNIZE ME!!!"

Most of the crowd puts up their ones to the sky to acknowledge the Empire Chief. Yuta was satisfied enough at the reception he got, nodding his head. "Alright, now it's time for me to recognize this elephant in the room."

"You two..." he said, referring to YN and Sana who looked at his back. "You wanna act like kids? Then we're going to treat you like kids."

"I don't believe that the air in the backstage is the same in the ring. I believe that the fighting and handling your business goes in the ring but you two just couldn't do that." Yuta said, with some hand gestures here and there.

"So this is what I want you to do. I want you two to put it all on the table." Yuta instructs both of them. "I want you two to let it all out because I want this problem fixed, RIGHT NOW."

Sana raised her mic to her mouth, taking the first move to speak." Well, uh...I'll be the first to admit that there's been a communication breakdown as of late, and I feel like it's pretty specifically with YN, right?" Sana said as she points her hand at YN who is glaring at her.

"So I'm going to be honest, I really don't understand what's been going on around here. I like you, YN. I've always like you." Sana said, making YN taken aback at her words as she tried not to make it obvious so he looked around by wearing a grumpy face.

"And we've always gather along but when I started to hang out with The Bloodline, I don't know what it is but you just can seem to stand me. I don't understand, Mina seems fine, Momo seems fine, everybody seems fine, except you and I just don't know what I did to offend you. I really don't but whatever it is, I'm sorry okay?"

"I just don't want this to keep going anymore, okay?" Sana said to YN who keeps on listening at her. The crowd started to applaud and cheer for Sana while Jinyoung patted her back. "T-thank you. Seriously, YN whatever I did... I'm sorry. Can we just be fine? Can we just bury the hatchet once and for all?"

Sana offers her hand for a peaceful handshake to YN who looked down at it seriously before inspecting her eyes again. Yuta, Mina, Jinyoung, Momo, and the rest of the crowd are eagerly waiting for whatever YN is going to respond according to Sana's apology.

"Sana, you only got two seconds to get that out of my face." YN said as he looked at Sana with fierce. Yuta clenched his lips, Momo and Mina shook their head disapprovingly, Jinyoung sighed and the crowd booed at YN.

Sana's mouth left agaped, in disbelief that YN still doesn't want to keep things pleasant. "I don't like you. I don't like your hair. I don't like your face. I don't like that scarf you wear. Hey! I don't even like her being around my family every single week. Hey sis this, let's go that, HEY! How do you think you're part of The Bloodline if you're not even blood! I didn't even know we're accepting butlers here from now on!" YN said as he criticized Sana.

"News flash for you, you will never be valued  and worthy of serving our family because you don't belong with us and we don't need you!" YN harshly told Sana who frowned. "Nobody in this group likes you, I'm the realest out here who's gonna say this to your face that you're just a fake muse!"

"You know what's the difference between you and me is? I share blood for every single members out here because it's my family! Don't make them look like yours!" YN exclaimed with rage. "Are you gonna do it?! Will you?! I'm asking you a question-"

"Why are you yelling at me?! I'm trying to make peace, The Empire Chief says he wants peace!"

"I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHAT THE EMPIRE CHIEF SAYS!"

The crowd elicited a loud shocked "ooohhhhh!" reaction at YN's outburst that ultimately crossed the line, especially looking at Yuta's enlarged eyes and dead expression after hearing what YN said to him.

The crowd's noise becomes louder and louder the more Yuta turns his head slowly at YN who is looking at him with seriousness. Jinyoung is covering his mouth, Mina buried her head on her arms at the corner, Momo just looked away at the scene, Sana is just stunned at what she's witnessing.

Yuta stood closer at YN and eyed him intimidatingly as the crowd chants "YOU FUCKED UP!" at YN.

"Yuta, hey look. What YB said was very messed up but... he didn't mean that. Right, YN? You didn't mean that." Sana said in defense for YN, barricading Yuta from him with her arm.

YN whispered, agreeing on Sana. "Seriously, Yuta he didn't mean that, okay? YN has gone through a lot, he's been through a lot, he's just not himself right now, okay?"

Sana continues to plead for Yuta to spare YN from his rude behavior. "He might be a hothead but I believe he doesn't want to get close with me is because he's uhm.... shy shy shy?~" she said as she did a little dance to imitate her sing song tone to tease YN, wiggling her shoulders and knocking her fists adorably along with her small voice.

Both Yuta and YN looked weirdly at her before Yuta lured his gaze away to smirk and oppress his chuckle while YN whispered "Really, Sana?" unbelievably at the unserious and bubbly muse.

The crowd began chanting SHY SHY SHY and that effectively infected Mina and Momo to slowly laugh silently at the expanded humor. Yuta couldn't help but to grin widely too at what Sana just did including Jinyoung.

As Yuta continues to stay speechless, the crowd erupted with cheers and applaud for the cute act of Sana before he switches glances at the Honorary Muse who is amused at what she has done.

"Is that what's been going on around here?" Yuta confusedly asked at YN. "I-is that because you're acting... SHY SHY SHY at Sana?!"

Yuta looked strangely at YN who is covering his face with his hands so that he could hide the uncontrollable laughter he's trying to contain and make himself not vulnerable from Sana's contagious charm.

Yuta was about to place his arm wrapped around YN's neck, the latter saw his grinning face causing him to finally broke out at how difficult it is, suppressing his laughter as he squeezed his clenched fists on his mouth.

"Stay here, stay right here would you?" Yuta said as YN wanted to distance himself a bit to avoid himself laughing out loud at Yuta's hilarious look.

"Here's what we gonna do. If you still don't work yourself being SHY SHY SHY around Sana again, I'm gonna do something you ain't gonna like." Yuta warned YN who is still couldn't calm himself down from his cackles because of Sana's newly made catchphrase.

"Here's what I'm gonna do. I'm gonna take that "Honorary"away, and I'm gonna make her our official Bloodline's muse." Yuta said as he points out at Sana's scarf around her neck, with YN now back at being seriousness even though the glimpse of how he surrendered herself from Sana's irresistable effect is still visible.

YN gave Yuta an incomprehensible look, muttering "You can't be serious, cous?!" but Yuta just nodded back at him and points his head. "Use the time well, think wisely."

"Well ladies and gentlemen, I think The Empire Chief has called an end to this segment. Please catch your Empire Chief LIVE and in person from all around the world next time on Friday Night Knockdown." Jinyoung said as he gave his closing remark in regards to The Bloodline, doing a mic drop before the arena played Yuta's theme again.

The show ended with The Bloodline as Yuta walked out on the ring first followed by Jinyoung, Mina, and Momo until YN and Sana were the last ones. Sana gave a cheeky smile on him in which he blushed before quickly rolling his eyes back and ignoring her to hid it away.

The match has started, and as of now, it's been more than 10 minutes that it's still continuing. Rosé tags on Jisoo, who climbed and stood on the middle turnbuckle facing her partner, holding the arm of the beaten YN.

Rosé spread the arm and prepared it for Jisoo before it lunged and stomped at the poor arm, making YN kneel and groan in pain.

Mina was about to distract the referee when Jisoo quickly charged at her and delivered a speeding elbow to her face, stumbling the opponent.

The other half of Myouis was about to drop from the apron and out of the ring when both Jisoo and Rosé caught her shoulders and brought her back up as they moved her to the middle of the outside rope. They spread both her arms and hooked them around on the top rope; they stood on her sides.

The fans started to increase their volume of cheers when they recognized this signature move by the duo and dedicated it to their leader and friend, who originally owned the move. Both Jisoo and Rosé began slamming their wrists on Mina's chest alternately until they both hit 10 counts.

Jisoo then ran fast through the ropes and flung herself with a heavy elbow to the back of Mina's neck, who got yeeted away from the ring.

A few moments later, Mina got back in the ring. She was about to run towards Jisoo, but she pulled the ropes downward, launching her outside. However, she didn't notice that YN had made a tag.

The referee counted it; YN was about to attack, but Jisoo quickly got it with a side kick to the face. Both twins are now out of the ring. Jisoo saw Mina closer at her, so she delivered a moonsault at her and hyped up the crowd more, who applauded her assault.

Jisoo enters the ring but YN joins her as he ran only to be dodged, he bumped into the ropes and Jisoo gave him a suplex. The right hand man of the Bloodline is on all fours, Jisoo jumps and stomps both of his hands before executing a kick to the back of the neck.

Jisoo covers YN for a pin. "1...2..." but the latter kicks out. Sana on the ringside became nervous that the defending champs nearly lost there.

Jisoo grabs YN's hand and grips four of his fingers, dividing them in two. The crowd and even the commentators ooh-ed in pity as they knew exactly what the victim of this move will suffer through.

"Oh no, she may break YN Myoui's fingers!" Jisoo kept on splitting his fingers until she eventually snapped them before tagging at Rosé.

The aching YN allowed Rosé to slowly carry Hin from behind, turning him upside down on her back for a slam, but YN wiggled his body to prevent her from doing it perfectly, leading both of them closer to Mina, who tags at YN.

Mina went to the corner and booted the face of Rosé. YN flipped her underneath for a cover, only to break it when the twins found another idea. They both stood at each other and were about to deliver double superkicks at Rosé, but instead they got tackled so badly by the strength of BLACKPINK.

Rosé tags on Jisoo, and the crowd begins to cheer loudly as they feel like the end is getting nearer. Rosé carried Mina, and Jisoo kicked her head before Rosé slammed her down.

"Double team! Are we gonna witness new tag team champions tonight?!" commentator Knight Yoo asked as the referee began counting Rosé's cover.

"1....2..."

"Ohhhh that was close! YN Myoui breaking things up!" It was saved as YN rushes back in the ring and shoves Rosé away from Mina.

With all the fighters down in the ring, Sana, on the other hand, found a way to help. She grabbed some steel chairs underneath the ring and aims to give them secretly to Mina, who is near the corner, while Momo is distracting the referee.

However, Lisa caught her and snatched the chair from her. Lisa and Sana got into an altercation until Momo joined Sana's side, and they both badmouthed the leader until...

"Wait a minute! Yeri and Wendy! Red Velvet are here, attacking Lisa!" Knight exclaimed at the call as suddenly the rivals of BLACKPINK surprisingly appeared during the match as two of its members tackled Lisa while it was being distracted by Momo and Sana.

Lisa was successful in getting rid of them, though, but she got blindsided with a big boot when the leader of Red Velvet and the current Southeast Asia Champion, Bae Irene,

Irene pulls Yeri and Wendy back to retreat. They were caught by Jisoo and Rosé, who went outside and confronted them, only to be greeted by superkicks from YN and Mina.

"And The Myouis, looking to take advantage!" Knight said as they rolled back Jisoo in the ring. YN tags Mina to make her a legal competitor and for them to set up their finisher, The One And Done.

YN throws Jisoo to the ropes to bounce her back at him, carrying her body and allowing Mina to catch her head and pull it down as she crashes to the mat.

"One and Done! The Myouis' streak continues."

"Here is your winner, and STILLLLL the Japan Combat Federation Champion, YN and Mina... The Myouis!" ring announcer Song Jihyo declares the win for the defending champs.

Sana and Momo went to the ring as they celebrate their blood's victory. Sana hugged Mina for comfort as she noticed it holding her back painfully.

The referee handed the belts at the champs for them to raise and show to the disappointed crowd that they still rule the roster.

The show ended with The Myouis retaining as the Japan Combat Federation Tag Team Champions.

SEPTEMBER 30, 2023 | ONE WEEK LATER

"She's still obnoxious and unbearable." the fighter Jeong Yunho said to his friend Woozi as he pointed at Sana.

"Yeah, that's right."

"But yeah, now it's really bad." the two were agreeing on each other, not minding Sana who is now getting offended at their words, crossing her arms and frowning at the two.

"It's a whole new level and I get it, that's what happens when you take your head and let it being dragged along by Yuta Nakamoto."

"Listen to me very carefully, okay?" Sana had enough, now it's her turn to say something against these two fighters who acts tough but only ends up acknowledging the greatness of The Bloodline in the end whether they like it or not.

"You can disrespect me anytime you want, that's fine. Just understand something, when you disrepect me. It doesn't just mean to me..."

Sana tugged her scarf, showing the imprinted The Honorary Muse title at Woozi and Yunho.

"You are also disrespecting the entire Bloodline. Understand?"

"Look, Sana. You might consider yourself an Honorary Muse right now, when in reality here is that everbody here knows that you're nothing but a certified-"

"WAAAGHHH!!!" Woozi didn't get to finish his words when Momo charged at them, getting the two bumped at each other so badly.

"What do you say?! CERTIFIED WHAT?!" Momo pulls Woozi's hair and slams him repeatedly over the rolling shutters.

She proceeded to aggressively punch Yunho's head until Sana tried to stop and break her up from him.

"Say something! Say something!"

"They get it now, they understand. They understand, don't they?" Sana mocks at the two beaten bashers. "You're dealing with the Bloodline now!"

Sana and Momo watched them groan in pain on the floor before leaving and returning back in their locker room.

--------------------------

Because of the assault Momo did earlier on, that didn't make Woozi and Yunho let it pass easily. They visited General Manager Bang Sihyuk and requested that he make a match for them along with Minatozaki Sana and Hirai Momo of The Bloodline tonight to get their payback.

Fortunately, they were granted, and the match is now scheduled to happen. Momo and Sana got informed too, and that was no problem for them to beat up those two again as a lesson.

Momo and Woozi both tagged their respective partners. Yunho and Sana went to each other; he just pushed Sana hard twice as she landed on her back.

Throwing the Honorary Muse to the ropes, he carried her horizontally to perform a fallaway slam, adding more pain to Sana's spine.

"And now, Woozi is just teeing off Sana in the corner," commentator Lee Kwangsoo called as Woozi repeatedly pounded Sana's head until it lowered her body and made her look more helpless in his aggressive attacks.

"A full-headed steam, burying his shoulder on Sana's midsection." Knight described Woozi sprinting back and forth from one corner to another for him to catapult a shoulder block at Sana before doing it again.

He sensed Momo entering the ring, Yunho runs through the ropes, dodging Momo's attempted punch and shoulder tackles her out of the ring. Momo stood there, looking pissed off, as Woozi let out a pumped-up scream, releasing the stress he felt from the attack earlier.

Yunho continued to mock Momo until it finally got irritated, tempting Momo to grab a steel chair. She was about to enter with it to smash him, but the referee didn't allow her to do so as the weapons were illegal in the match.

Woozi appeared and held Momo's feet to intercept. Momo kicks Woozi away, only to get distracted by Yunho charging at her and plowing her out again from the ring.

Sana then surprises Yunho by rolling him from behind. The referee began counting at the cover, "1...2..." but Yunho kicked out at two.

Yunho gets up and was about to hook Sana, but he dodges and sets him up for a Purple Thunderbomb signature move. Sana pins Yunho, but it also kicks out at two.

Sana climbs through the turnbuckle, waiting for Yunho to slowly get up. As it did, she prepared herself to launch from the crossbody, but Yunho just flipped themselves up, and now he's carrying Sana horizontally again and reversing it with a jackhammer slam.

Yunho pins Sana, but Momo hurriedly breaks the count by shoving off Yunho. Momo gave him a couple of knuckles, but Woozi went for the rescue, now brawling against the enforcer of The Bloodline.

Momo pushes Woozi through the ropes; he dodges her attack and counters it with a knee to the face, sending Momo to the ringside area.

Woozi was about to take flight by catapulting himself through Momo, but Sana gripped his feet underneath the ropes, causing him to flip a little. She remained in the hold as Woozi tried to escape, but thankfully Yunho attacked Sana and threw her at the ring barriers.

Woozi, who is now free, tried to finally do it, but instead he got received by a midair defense when Momo used the folded chair to throw at Woozi as he nearly flew through him. The referee didn't see her doing it because he was checking up on Sana.

"Hirai Momo, launching a fastball of a chair into the face of Woozi, and now she's beating the hell out of him, Knight Yoo stated as Momo drove Woozi through the ring post and threw him out on the timekeepers area.

"The Street Champ is wrecking havoc here!"

"Now back in the ring, Yunho now giving shoulder blocks at Sana on the corner." Knight narrates. When Yunhi turned his body around to attack for the third time, Momo slowly backs up on the ring and tags at Sana.

"I don't believe Yunho realizes it. OH! A spinning kick from Momo!"

"Look at the intensity on the face of Momo!" Kwangsoo said as Momo lets out her battlecry.

She grabbed Yunho and stood him up, hooking his arm and execute her finisher, the Ultra Urinagi. The referee counts Momo's pin "1....2....3!" and the bell rang, a secured win for the Bloodline courtesy of Sana and Momo's tandem.

"Here are your winners, the team of Minatozaki Sana and Hirai Momo!!!"

The match ended with the referee raising both arms of Sana and Momo to present the winners.

---------------------------

After a match just ended for tonight's episode of Friday Night Knockdown, the camera shows backstage as Sana and Momo are walking together while the Honorary Muse is talking at her.

They're about to enter the Bloodline locker room, but Sana noticed that the handle didn't go unlocked at the first press until she did it again, and surprisingly, it opened and YN appeared in front of them.

"YN? W-what are you doing here?", Sana asked.

"You asking me what I'm doing here? Just came here to make sure my little cousin here is good, that's all."  YN answered as he patted Momo's head who smiled at the contact.

"Uhh, I'd say that she's good I mean... do you saw what just happened earlier?"

"Yeah, I did. You guys won."

"Alright."

Momo excused herself to enter first and rest. Sana was about to follow her when YN paused her, watching over at Momo inside before closing the door.

"Wait a minute.", he said. Sana was a bit puzzled why she was stopped not until YN stared at her closer again, that familiar look of doubt.

"I see right through you, Sana. You got everybody out here getting fooled including my family and... I see right. through. you, Minatozaki Sana." YN points at her.

"This is your only shot, if you ever think about putting my family in jeopardy, I will get you. You hear me?"

"Alright." Sana smiled. "You know, maybe... maybe you should take it up with Yuta." She said as she tugged her scarf again and present the Honorary Muse title.

"Now, if you don't mind. I would like to get in on OUR locker room." Sana directs her hands on the door before she patted YN on the shoulder to step side and give her way inside. She enters and closes the door, leaving YN grunting in annoyance.

OCTOBER 7, 2023 | ONE WEEK LATER

After watching Momo win against her opponent in her match, the attention shifted on The Bloodline in their locker room, all seated in the couch.

"No joke, sis. She has been unbelievable." Sana commented on Momo's performance in her first month of being in the main roster. "It's such a great addition to The Bloodline. The Fighting Machine, right? I feel like I kinda have a good thing going on with her. I'm sort of taking them under my wing lately and it's really-"

"What do you mean 'taking them under your wing'?" YN interrupts, looking confused at Sana beside him. "You ain't down since day one, muse. She earned this over. That's my cousin, that's our family, muse."

"Hey, god calm down."

"What are you talking about?"

"Yeah alright, alright don't be such a hothead jeez."

"Hey, hey! Sana, call me a hothead one more time and I'm gonna get-"

"You're a hothead."

Sana and YN looked aside at Yuta who is massaging his head at the miscommunication between these two bitter individuals again.

"You are. You have always been a hothead."

"No, I didn't mean a-" Sana was about to explain but Yuta halts her to make sure it's fine.

"No, no wait. He's a hothead. We dealt with this through our whole lives." Yuta said. "The fact that you keep on doing this, that's a problem, and it's been our problem our whole lives."

"I don't want it to be my problem, so it's not gonna be my problem." Yuta glances over YN who felt guilt before switching at Sana.

"It's your problem now, Sana."

Yuta tilted his head and caressed his chin slowly, thinking about other things. The locker room was awkward silent. Mina, Sana, YN, and Jinyoung just don't know how to respond to that to avoid putting more stress on the Empire Chief.

Jinyoung and Yuta then looked at Sana, with Mina encouraging her to say something regarding that while YN, on the other hand, was glaring in disgust.

Sana who has been in shock in awe, slowly nodded her head and looked at every members before focusing on Yuta.

"O-okay."

OCTOBER 3, 2023 | FOUR DAYS LATER

It's the season premiere of another episode of Monday Night War, and The Bloodline arrives in attendance for today's show except for The Empire Chief and the current Undisputed Japan Combat Federation Champion Yuta Nakamoto, along with his Special Adviser Park Jinyoung.

Sana and Mina were laughing together while Momo tried her best to stiffle herself as Sana narrated a funny story to them while doing her hilarious reenactment of what happened. The vibes were ruined, although YN showed up and made all three of them quiet.

"Oh, hey, YN, Sana greets him while she tries to ease herself down with heavy breaths but fails to do so as the thought of the story still makes her laugh, which easily caused Mina to join her too.

"What's so funny?" YN asked them seriously.

"It's not even important, so don't worry." Sana waves it off.

"Yeah you're right, but here you are having a good time yet we're suppose to out here handling our business tonight."

"Hey, relax brother. Chill, it's just a joke." Mina calms down his brother's naughtiness.

"He's actually right. We're out here for business." Sana agreed on YN.

"Yeah, we're here because we're about to everybody know that the Empire Chief is pulling up on Monday."

"In fact, let the Honorary Muse do some example of this. Let's make these fools put up on notice. Am I right?"

"Yeah!" Mina answered.

"Then let's do it."

All four of them started to walk at the backstage but suddenly they crossed paths with the duo TXT, Huening Kai and Choi Beomgyu.

"Well well well look at these suckers." Sana insulted the two immediately who are just doing nothing wrong but conversing at each other.

"Gentlemen." Sana tried to drew their attention. Kai and Beomgyu looked at them. "Hey, this message is for you and the entire War locker room. Next week is the season premiere, The Bloodline will be in the house including your Empire Chief Yuta Nakamoto so be prepared to acknowledge him."

Kai pointed at Sana with shaky finger. "Dude! Look who it is! It's the Honorary Muse and the hype woman of the century, Minatozaki Sana!" he enthusiastically told his partner.

"Along with The Bloodline, walking around here in War thinking like they own the entire arena." Kai twirls his finger up. "You don't own the arena, Sana. As a matter of fact, there is one thing- no, TWO things the Bloodline needs to acknowledge~ And that's de-"

"Woah woah woah don't do em like that, fam." Beomgyu prevents his friend.

"Hey, let him finish! This what huh!" Mina complained.

"Yeah, this what? Huh! If you say something disrespectful to the Empire Chief, imma give you two matching boots, Kai." YN said, mentioning Kai's injured feet which is sealed up with a brace.

"Oh you talk with a lot of aggression in your voice, huh." Beomgyu defends Kai as he talks back against YN. "How about I break my boots up on your ass?"

YN and Beomgyu went into a fierce stare at one another before Momo steps in between, replacing the focus of Beomgyu at her. She traced him from head to toe with angst.

"I'd like to see you try that on me." Momo challenged.

"Say less, fam. Let's see each other out there." Beomgyu smirked and accepted Momo's invitation.

-----------------------

Beomgyu runs at the ropes and tries to shoulder tackle Momo, but the fighter just barely moves from her position.

He tried again; now Momo got pushed through the ropes and took the turn to charge, but Beomgyu avoided it with a high leap.

Momo pushed Beomgyu on his back, back at the ropes. She formed herself and prepared to carry Beomgyu, but the warrior just did a cartwheel to skip her.

"What an incredible display of agility from Choi Beomgyu!" the commentator Kim Jongkook complimented him.

Beomgyu then proceeded to give Momo a powerful dropkick with pinpoint accuracy. Momo rolled out of the ring, where Sana escorted her and checked up on her.

Beomgyu mocked the pissed-off Momo, prompting her to return to the ring only to give her a crunchy slap when she was about to climb on the apron.

Out of control, Momo grabbed a steel chair, but Sana blocked her from doing so because it would cause a disqualification for her and grant Beomgyu the win instead.

"No, Momo not like that, okay?" Sana tries to plead at Momo.

"Hey, stop. I got her. That's my cousin." YN insisted. Sana just lets her do so and watches them talk.

Afterwards, the two are now fighting again in the ring. Momo sent Beomgyu on the ropes but again skipped her to perform a flying back elbow.

The lit-up Beomgyu went to the corner and charged at Momo, who was trying to take a little break at the opposite corner. He did a spinning splash and then a kick to the side of the head as a combo to add more damage to Momo.

Dazed and confused, it gave an opportunity for Beomgyu to lock Momo's arms for an underhook suplex. He covered Momo, and the referee counts "1...2..." but the baddest kicked out.

Sana tried to complain to the referee, climbing on the ring. YN joined her and instead of cooperating with her, she got a scolding rather from him.

"Hey, get down right now muse and let cousin handle it on her own!"

It only led both of them to argue with each other, with Mina just watching them problematically. With the referee and Beomgyu distracted by the conflict, Momo went for a superkick at him.

She pinned Beomgyu, but then again, the argument between YN and Sana is still not over. The referee just noticed it late and counted, but the time Beomgyu spent laying down on the ring was enough for him to recover and kick out at two.

Momo slowly gets up Beomgyu and tries to clothesline him, but Beomgyu avoids it and tackles Momo, yeeting her off the ring.

Sana went closer on the collpased and exhasuted Momo. "Hey, you got this. It's your match, cmon you have to win for The Bloodline."

But then again, YN approaches her and removes her off near Momo. "Leave her be and let her rest for a while."

"What's your problem again?!"

"I'mma get her myself. Just stay there."

YN took the turn to check upon Momo. However, the amount of disrespect and offense made by YN was too much for Sana already to contain.

She tugged YN's arm and had a deep staredown at him. "Look, what the hell is wrong with you? I wasn't doing anything at you but then you'll just make every thing a big deal to you!"

"Was I suppose to trust you when you're not even one of us, huh! I tell you stay put, then comply if you want to prove yourself right!"

"You're just making excuses as always, why couldn't you just admit and lessen down that-"

"Look out!!!" Mina warned them but their late reaction didn't helped them so. All three of them received Beomgyu's dive from the ring, effectively laying down them at once.

Beomgyu rolled Momo back in the ring as Kai cheers him for it. Sana who was the one that took the less bump, stands up and confronts Beomgyu.

"Do you understand that these are my buddies, my family-"

Beomgyu was too impatient to hear more nonsensical things, he slapped Sana straight to her cheek and returns to the ring. Kai teased Sana who is holding her face painfully.

He didn't realized that Momo countered Beomgyu with a spinning kick just as he arrived back in the ring. Momo did her battlecry and finished Beomgyu with Ultra Urinagi.

"1...2...3!"

"Here is your winner, Hirai Momo!!!" the ring announcer said with the referee raising her arm in victory.

OCTOBER 14, 2023 | ONE WEEK LATER

As Sana waits for her opponent's entrance, belonging to Kim Yongsun, or Solar as her nickname, who is one half of the popular tag teams and one of the longest tag champs in the history of the company group known as MAMAMOO, she talks with Momo, who will be accompanying her tonight on the match.

"You know, Momo. I really appreciate that you'll be here with me tonight. That's what I like about you; you're so reliable, unlike..."

Sana stopped speaking when they saw YN step beside her and eye them intently while furrowing his eyebrows.

"Oh, great. Perfect timing." Sana said, gesturing her hands at YN. "W-what are you doing here? Where's Mina?"

"Mina is currently handling some business. You know, it's a family thing." YN replied

"Well, I think if that was a family thing, she would've told me about it."

YN stared at Sana puzzledly, pursing his lips. "Real family." he enlightened.

Sana chuckled, bowing her head. "Okay, you know what. We don't have any more time for this." She looked at Momo standing behind her, crossing her arms. "Momo, you can hang back, you have a really big match here tonight. Just focus on what's important, okay?" she instructed.

"And YN, you're out there with me tonight, okay?" YN glared at her. "Let me make things clear around here, alright? I don't want to reapet on what happened last Monday, okay?"

"Yeah, I agreed. I agreed because you said you had it, so I let you get it, Honorary Muse."

"I know, I know."

They continued arguing with each other until, suddenly, they were cut off by the sound of a ringtone coming from Sana's phone.

She grabbed it and looked at the screen. "Oh, it's from the Empire Chief", YN scoffed.

Sana answered the call, putting the phone near her ear. "Yuta, hey. Yeah, no, actually I was about to go out there and I talked to him about it." She glanced at YN.

She looked away from him and rather at Momo to make him hear less about what she was going to say to Yuta. "Personally, I think he could've done something. I feel like he chose to do nothing. Yeah, no, I'm with him right now. I'm looking right after him." Sana stared at YN, who returned with a higher intensity of gaze at her.

She lowered the phone and handed it to YN. "He wants to talk to you."

Agitated, he snatches the phone from Sana's hand and pressed it on his ear. "Sup, man. Yeah, I know what you told me about Monday. You said I have to make her get the W but this fool said she had it now. Let me just-" YN paused from talking and showed some wincing expressions on his face.

"Y-you're the Empire Chief. I got you."

He aggressively returned the phone back at Sana, bumping her hand before looking away to control his temper.

Sana listened to whatever Yuta is telling her until Momo and YN were taken aback when Sana burst out a laughter.

"W-what he's saying?" YN pokes Sana using the back of his hand.

"It's just an inside joke, don't worry about it."

YN just looked away again, he sulked as he felt offended that Sana didn't bothered not to share it to him and kept it as a secret.

"Wait, Yuta my music is about to hit soon. We'll talk later, okay?"

Right on the spot, the producers played her theme in the arena. They all heard it and probably Yuta behind the call too.

"Gotta go, Empire Chief. Bye bye!"

She dropped her phone to the table and tapped both Momo and YN as she rushes out of the curtain while YN followed the Honorary Muse from behind after high-fiving at Momo and leaving her cousin for a while.

Somi smirks and nodded. Sejeong continues to speak. "And that's why our tandem is still in the center stage." "Hey, Sejeong-ah let's get straight into it." Somi excused Sejeong, placing her hand on her shoulder. She followed, allowing the champ to do the talk this time. "Choi Yena, she ain't gonna make it here tonight, okay?", she said; referring to her rival who got viciously attacked in the backstage earlier. Yena was even supposed to fight Somi for the title in the main event. "But let's be completely honest here, I just did Yena a favor. I know girls like Choi Yena, she ain't built enough to handle this life." Somi patted her title belt wrapped around her waist. "She doesn't know what it takes to be the A-champion." "Talk that talk, Somi-ya." "Everybody in the back, they're praying for my downfall. They don't wanna see me win. You got people from different brands to come here and try to take what I built." Somi said. "Heavy lies the head that wears the crown, and you are all looking at the one with the heaviest head and the biggest crown here in UCF!" Somi pointed at herself while unbuckling and raising the title belt on her right arm, Sejeong is hyping and praising her bestfriend more as a support. The arrogant fun they've been having didn't last long when the arena suddenly went dark as the familiar theme resonated through the speakers. Once the titantron played in the entrance screens, the crowd popped in amazement while Somi and Sejeong are still staring unbelievingly at the person who just showed up for tonight's show. "Uhh... what?" the color commentator of UCF, Ok Taecyeon expresses his mixture of surprise and confusion after this particular prizefighter makes her unexpected appearance tonight. "Man, this place is shaking! W-we never thought that we would see Hirai Momo again!" he said. The recently main roster debuted Hirai Momo walks down in the pathway while the crowd goes chanting "MOMO!" along with the flow of her badass theme. "Yeah, and she's dressed to fight too!" Taecyeon's partner in commentary, Cha Eunwoo agreed. "Listen, I didn't think we will see her again after seeing her antics from Clash In The Combat in Seoul, South Korea ten days ago when she costs Kim Jennie the Japan Undisputed World Championship by helping her cousin, Yuta Nakamoto. As far as I'm concerned, Hirai isn't welcome here. Somi needs the time off." Momo is now climbing the steel stairs through the ring. Somi watches her as she goes while the fear and irritation gets her, shaking her head while whispering "ah damn it." "It's Hirai now who is sitting at the biggest table in JFF." "Well she's hasn't been invited into this particular table, hasn't she?" Momo enters the ring, grabs a microphone from the production staff and stands in front of Sejeong and Somi who were yelling "Get out!", "Leave!" and "You don't belong here anymore!" while the crowd goes contrast rather at their pleads, saying "We want this!" otherwise. "Somi, like I said before: I GOT NEXT!" Momo stated, officially announcing that she's the one who stepped up as the replacement for Choi Yena tonight with General Manager Bang Sihyuk to accept that request. Momo immediately Somi, Sejeong charges at her but she she threw her rather out of the ring. She shouted a battlecry as the crowd cheered. "Momo is dropping everything now at this point.", Taecyeon said. "We said, expect the unexpected." "Is this gonna happen?" "Yeah, same question. is it really gonna happen?" The referee enters the rings and monitors Momo just in case the brawl continues. Somi who is agitated, went all around the ring as she composes herself before finally enter the ring to accept Momo's challenge. With the two fighters now being in the ring, the referee called for the bell to ring and start the match.

-------------------------- As the match progresses, both of them slowly stood up but Somi went first, goes to jump attack Momo but she caught her by gripping both her legs. She throws her away then went for a punch. Somi stepped back into the ropes, tries to return the favor but Momo blocked, again she did another shot then another and another until she starts to target Somi's midsection either, firing fast blasts on it. Momo pulls Somi's arm and pushes her through the ropes on the other sides, she catapulted and Momo greeted her with a shuddering super kick onto her face. Somi bounced through the ropes again after getting dazed and Momo carried her to be slammed with a Samoan Drop maneuver.  The weakened Som crawls in the corner while the fired up Momo shakes the ropes aggressively, earning anoher cheers from the  crowd watching the fight. "It's Hirai now, adrenaline will make you do crazy things." Taecyeon said. Momo went to the opposite corner, clutching her knee that was previously targeted by Somi. "Blowing up a real head of steam, that knee having a big effect on Hirai's body." Momo runs ahead to the sitting Somi and harshly bumped her rear through Somi's head as she flew herself in the corner. She tugged Somi's body again and she landed perfectly on her shoulders again as she carried her. Meanwhile, Sejeong who is watching at the ringside to support her friend distracts Momo as she climbs up at the apron. The referee stopped her, Momo saw her and Sejeong quickly surrendered only for Somi to attack Momo as she turns around with double knees pressed on her face. Momo got dizzy, the exhausted Somi noticed and encouraged herself to get up with a mad slam of her hand in the ring. She stands up and runs through the ropes but Momo quickly recovered, throwing her up and catch her for another Samoan Drop. "What goes up, comes crashing down! Now this could be it?" Momo hooked Somi's leg, the referee slides in and began to count. "Tokyo Middleweight on the line, Hirai with the cover and..." "1... 2...-" Somi kicks out. Momo looked in the disbelief while the exhaustion is also present within her now too. Both remained laid on the ring, Sejeong climbs again and problematically searching ways to help Somi retain the title and not just by watching her for support. The referee is giving her a warning, adding more to her troubles. "Kim Sejeong knows and realizes there's nothing she can do at this point." Eunwoo said. Sejeong jumped out with her hands both up, proving that she's following and  that she's not gonna do something that will ruin the match as the referee simulteanously guarding her and checking up on both fighters. "Take one more look. Somi thought she had her, but then she gets dropped." Taecyeon said as the screen shows the replay of Momo's counter to Somi's impending attack. "And in that moment, Hirai thought she had Jeon and she thought she had her first taste of gold." As Momo stands up, Sejeong once again climbs up to attempt distracting her but it completely failed when instead she received a superkick, crashing back into the ringside. She turns around, saw a glimpse of Somi already about to blindside her as she bounced in the ropes and fly through her but with a quick instinct, Momo clutched Somi's arm and slammed her roughly with a Urinagi move. "Went for too many times, paid off the first time, not the second time, no chance!" Eunwoo called as Momo went out of the ropes and climbs in the turnbuckles. "Could this be the moment?" "No chance!"

"Flying Momo! Hirai got all of it!" Taecyeon exclaimed as Momo successfully splashes brutally onto Somi's helpless body. Momo hooks the leg, the referee began to count with the crowd joining. "1...2...3!" "What the hell?! WE GOT A NEW CHAMPION!" Taecyeon yelled shockingly as the bell rang for the finish. The crowd erupted in joy while the other has this astounded look in their faces. "Here is your winner, and the NEWWWWWWWWWWWWW Tokyo Middleweight Champion, Hirai Momo!!!" the ring announcer proclaims as the referee hands in the title belt and approaches to Momo who is still kneeling and heaving in her deep breaths. "W-what is this, this was not supposed to be how the night ended." Taecyeon said. "I-is the Tokyo Middleweight going to Knockdown?!" "Looks like it is, Taecyeon. But one thing's definitely we're sure of is that... The Bloodline has another gold to be stored in their prized collection!" Eunwoo replied. The show ended with Sejeong feeling pity for her defeated friend and frustrated at herself for not being able to help properly while Momo stands tall in the middle of the ring, celebrating with her newly won championship for the first time in her career in front of the Tokyo crowd. -------------------------- SEPTEMBER 16, 2023 | THREE DAYS LATER The current Japan's Tag Team Champions Myoui Mina and YN and 'The Honorary Muse' Minatozaki Sana are at the backstage along with the newly crowned Tokyo Middleweight Champion Hirai Momo. They were cheering her up for her match tonight with her challenger for the title against the fighter Jeong Yunho. "Let's go, Momo! It's about time to represent The Bloodline again tonight, but you already know that." Mina said to her cousin who wasn't looking again them, rather focused at somewhere else but still listening to their words of motivation. "Yeah! We're abut to go out there and handle business. We got your back just like we did last week. Let's go get it, Momoring!" YN starts to jump up and down at the rising excitement he's feeling of being involved in another chaos with his family. Suddenly, she was stopped by Momo who pressed her arm on his chest. All of them looked confused at Momo. "I got this. Yours are off the game today, YN." Momo said to YN who became silent. She turns around and gazed. "Hey, Sana. You're going?" Sana looked at her puzzledly. "M-me?" YN and Mina directed their eyes at the Honorary Muse, especially YN who looked baffled and ridiculous at her. "Gotta go guys." Sana patted Mina who gave her a proud smile while YN glared as she makes her exit behind Momo off the curtains with the theme began playing in the arena. ------------------------- Momo pushes Yunho through the ropes, she attempted for a superkick but Yunho caught her feet. He used both to add more strenghth as she carried Momo and plants her down to the ring. He covered Momo, the referee began to count. "1....2...-" Momo kicks out at two. Yunho lifts her body up and locks her head up to prepare her for his finsiher called the Endgame but Momo separated and blows the back of Yunho's neck. The athletic warrior gets stunned. Momo hooked his arm for a Urinagi slam but Yunho prevented, dragging her feet down and roll her up for a pin. "1...2...-" Momo kicks out. Another near fall has been broken. Yunho charges through her at the corner but she defended with an elbow to the side of the face. Seeing him bent his body had Momo to take the opportunity by sprinting through the ropes and attack him for crossbody but instead she was caught in the mid-air by the powerful Yunho. He throws her behind with a fallaway slam, Yunho positioned himself at the corner. "And now, it's Yunho's opportunity to claim the gold." Knight says as he watches the fuming fighter dialing up his advantage. He ran, but thankfully Momo was pulled out of the ring by Sana. Yunho was irritated by what she did, so he went out of the ring and start chasing Sana around like cat and dog. Sana entered the ring and slides off. Yunho still chased her but instead met with a surprise superkick by Momo who remerged in the ring. Momo hanged her arm around Yunho and lifted him up, slamming him down hard to the canvas with her finisher, the Ultra Urinagi to secure a victory. "1...2...3" The bell rang, Hirai Momo successfully retains her title thanks to the assistance by Minatozaki Sana. She snatches the belt away from the referee and instead took the honor to hand it to the champion and raise her arm proud to display the representative of The Bloodline in front of the booing crowd. --------------------------------------- Minutes later, it's time for The Honorary Muse to focus on her own worry as she faces the high-flying, superhuman-like fighter Lee Jihoon or better known by his alias Woozi in a match tonight also. With The Bloodline on the ringside for her, watching and supporting her through the match, they saw Sana trying to set up Woozi for a Purple Thunderbomb with couple of arm pounces on his spine. She carried him but Woozi backflips, Sana tried to grab back but Woozi avoided her by stepping on her shoulders and perform another backflip then a kick straight onto her jaw. Sana collapses in the ring, Woozi did a taunt and climbs through the turnbuckle. However, Mina climbs in the apron, distracting Woozi as she got blocked by the referee. That allowed Sana to slowly get up and carry Woozi from behind with a clean Purple Thunderbomb. She pinned him exactly as she slammed his body, but Woozi kicks out at two afterwards. Sana pulls up Woozi but the latter tries to fight back with some punches around her body. She lets him go, runs through the ropes but Woozi jumped and wraps his legs around her leg then spin her for an amazing hurricanranna move. He pins Sana, but she kicked out at two also. "Woozi not looking to slow down." Kwangsoo said as the fighter carried Sana on his shoulder but he dropped her shortly when he observed YN climbing up through the apron and quickly fought him with a punch. "And now, once again but this time it's the 'Main Event' Myoui YN. Sana from behind, rolling up Woozi for the victory, and Woozi kicks out again!" Woozi runs and bounces at the ropes and delivers a terrifying high knee right into Sana's face. YN backs up again but Woozi parkours in the middle rope then lures him away with a flying kick on the face. Sana caught Woozi again from behind, surprising him with a suplex then a cover. However, the referee didn't counted right away because the pissed off and arrogant YN tried to enter the ring again to lay his hands finally on Woozi. As YN backs out in anger, the referee then counts but Woozi kicks out. Sana peeked at the ropes to talk with YN. "What are you doing?" "I'm trying to get on him!" "I had him!" "I'm just helping you, okay?!" YN continues to push her back in the match and spit his excuses but Sana had enough, she rolled out of the ring and stares dangerously at YN as she pushes him. "WHAT ARE YOU REALLY TRYING TO DO, HUH?" "OH, SO NOW YOU'RE BLAMING ME?" "YOU COULD'VE STAYED THERE! CAN'T YOU SEE I ALREADY HAD HIM?" "THEN GO BACK AND FOCUS ON THE MATCH THEN! I'M TELLING YOU RIGHT NOW, I'M JUST LOOKING AFTER YOU!" YN and Sana traded barbs with each other, Mina steps in between and tries to break up their argument. They were too occupied to settle with this conflict that they didn't even noticed Woozi charging at them with a high cannonball to take them all out at the ringside. Woozi grabs Sana and rolled her back in the ring. He climbs up to the corner and stand at the top rope before he executes a picture perfect shooting star press through Sana's poor body. "With a style! Highlight of the night and Woozi gets the win!" Knight exclaimed as the referee counted to three on the pinned Sana. The referee raised his arm in victory. Woozi let the ring immediately when Momo enters and tries to chase him. Woozi celebrates with the crowd with The Bloodline suffered in the growth of their problem as they failed to provide their service for Sana in return.

---------------------------------------------

SEPTEMBER 23, 2023 | ONE WEEK LATER After Yuta Nakamoto delivers his speech for The Bloodline's Acknowledgment Ceremony to celebrate and congratulate Hirai Momo's title win last week as a complete group, they were about to leave the ring when Sana requests for a mic to be handed. "Can we cut the music for a moment, please? Can we just cut the music for one moment?" Sana speaks as she requested for Yuta's theme to be stopped. That took the rest to face her confusingly, especially Yuta. "Guys, I'm sorry. Sorry." Sana apologizes as she knew what that looks could have mean about. YN began to yell "What are you doing, Sana?!" and even Jinyoung who just asked her calmly. Jinyoung saw Yuta gesturing for an initiative. He gets another mic and gave it to him. "I-I just wanted to say that I know I'm not technically 'Blood', right." Sana mimics the quotation mark. "But the way you guys are taken me in as a family as of late, I wanted to show my gratitude and I wanted to ofcourse, publicly acknowledge The Empire Chief." Sana pointed her hand at Yuta who nodded and satisfied at her respectful remark. Yuta grins and smiles impressively at Sana who blushed at that reaction. The crowd then chanted her name loudly, capturing Yuta's attention. "I like you, Sana." Yuta said. Sana's eyes widened and her face nearly reddened. She wasn't entirely sure what it actually meant. Her heartbeats quickened but she tried to be steady. "I like you.... but what are you talking for, right now? What are you saying right now?" Sana's face turns clueless. "I get it. I've been seeing what's happening here but like... why are still here?" She gasped and furrowed her eyebrow, encapsulating her confusion further. The crowd slowly booed. "What is going on, muse? Why do you still have that scarf on? Why are you still tagging along with us? This whole thing, w-what is this about? What do you want?' Sana remained silent, she doesn't know what to respond other than just to release some "huhs?" and "what?". "I'll tell you what I want. I want you to take that scarf off." "TAKE IT OUT! TAKE THAT SCARF OFF!" YN shouted at Sana who got taken aback. "Y-Yuta, I don't know if you're kidding or not kidding but if this is about what happened between me and Woozi last week, I-..." "Sana... I'm not going to tell you again. Take. that. scarf. off. Now." "LISTEN NOW, SANA! TAKE. THAT. SHIRT. OFF!" YN yelled at her again. Jinyoung snatches the mic away from Sana's hand. Sana still tries to explain but it all just falls in deaf ears of The Empire Chief. "YN." YN aggressively tugs, untangles, and rips the scarf out of Sana's hair and neck. The Japanese woman was frightened and nervous at what is going on for her. "See, this is what I'm talking about, I need you to listen for once. I don't want to see you in that scarf ever again, do you understand me? You ain't ever gonna wear a Bloodline scarf, EVER AGAIN!" Sana just stares terrifyingly and heartbroken at everything she's listening to Yuta's words. The man she deeply idolizes, respects, and admires discreetly... is the one who is commanding right in front of her to leave him and his family alone with utter dislikedness. She feels like she's about to cry, her body starts to slightly shiver in her emotions. "You ain't ever gonna wear that scarf...

... because I got you a new one." Yuta reaches inside his shirt and throws a red cloth at Sana who catched it while shocked at what she just heard. YN who is walking around behind feeling confident and relieved, had to halt all that when he saw Sana holding a piece of clothing. Sana slowly unfolded the scarf and spreaded it, showing to everyone what it looks like. The red scarf has The Bloodline logo and prints on it with the letters spelled out "THE HONORARY MUSE" engraved on it. "Wow." Both Knight and Kwangsoo reacted in awe while the crowd cheered and clapped for Sana who still can't processed what just happened. "I guess, welcome to the family." As Sana reads the words again and realized that Yuta himself gave that scarf to her, that only confirms one thing. She finally did it. She is now an official honorary member, an Honorary Muse for The Bloodline. Sana became delighted and jumps in glee. She excitedly wears the scarf around her head and neck then raised her arms in glory. Yuta just amusingly watched Sana being very happy with the gift. Sana quickly high fives and hugs Mina and Momo who couldn't contain their happiness for their new co-member and friend. For YN though who is uncomfortable and humiliated, Sana mocks him closer to his face before facing Yuta. "Anything you wanna say?" Yuta smirked. "Yes. As a matter of fact, I do. I ACKNOWLEDGE YOU, EMPIRE CHIEF!" Sana stepped forward to approach Yuta, circling her arms to embrace him thankfully which made him unaware of. Yuta felt Sana shake through her sniffs as she finally cried on his shoulders. To comfort and be guilty of the prank that he planned to do to make her mistakenly believe that she's going to be kicked out and declined to be part of his family, he made his apology with a simple caress and pats on her back while repeatedly telling her to slow down her cries. The show ended with The Bloodline: Mina, Jinyoung, and Momo celebrates  while YN is on the corner, watching Yuta and Sana hugging together with a frown and mixed feelings disturbing him inside, not with disappointment anymore... but because of something confusing that he couldn't yet exactly identify the reason why.

That is the reason for it. Sana was informed by Nayeon that she was at a loss for what to do at her dorm on her alone. Sana lamented having to leave her buddy and felt sorry for her. She is the reason they are at the airport. Her flight is the one they are now waiting for. Because her parents have discovered a better possibility for their daughter to succeed in the course she wants to take on her path to her dream profession, Sana is planning to return to her native Osaka, Japan, to attend college there. The agreement was finalized once she provided her consent. It's bittersweet that she has the one Korean she mostly knows, who she has become particularly close to and precious to, at her side on this final day that she has left in South Korea. The last spoonful of ice cream was scooped onto Nayeon's cup, and she ate it. "It's not a problem to me if the landlord starts looking for my new roommate to settle in with me, but..." she said. She scowled, "I'm not used to waiting longer for someone to come, and it takes time for me to build trust with that person. They're just not like you, Sana." Sana grins warmly at her friend's final sentimental comment. "Don't worry, unnie. I assure you, I'm going to do something about it. Don't be like that, okay? I want to make you happier and see you smile before I go."

Nayeon started to glare and furrow her eyebrows at Sana's reply. She moderately plunged her fists on the younger lady's arms which earned a giggle. "Aghhh! Why you gotta do me like this, Sana. I said I'm not going to cry."

"Hehehe sorry." Sana said."As what I'm saying, I do indeed have a plan."

"And that is?"

"To get you a new roommate by myself."

Nayeon's curiousity arises. "That? How would you be able to do it? Do you know someone aside from me here?"

"Yes, I do know more than you Nayeonnie but..." Sana paused as the image of that person she's referring popped up in her mind. "That wasn't from here, it's on Japan."

"Eh? W-wait, so you're saying..."

"Yes, I plan to get you with my friend from Japan. Speaking about right timing, both of us were changing ways for our college life; if I'm going back... she's... going far away." Sana explained.

"And that friend of yours decided to... come here?"

Sana nodded in response. "Yes, she said she wants to visit and try the lifestyle and culture of Korea while she's studying... so I just contacted her a while ago if she would like to accept my invitation of her being my substitute to become your roommate, Nayeon."

Nayeon's eyes expanded and jaw slightly unclenched. "Wait, you got me already a new one?"

"Mhhmm... and don't worry about her. Now that she's recommended from me directly, you don't have to doubt about her a lot. I've known her for many years, she's my childhood bestfriend in Japan." Sana revealed.

The two threw their trash off to the garbage bin before they proceeded to talk.

"What's her name?" Nayeon asked.

"Oh nope, I'm not going to tell you. I want you to meet and know everything about her personally." Sana shook her head and smirked. "But hey, I'm going to give you just one since I have mercy."

Nayeon was excited to know, so she listened attentively to Sana. "What is it?"

"Well you're going to notice that she has this habit of acting very dumb. Like literally, dumb. If not dumb, maybe spaced out?" Sana said with a bit of confused tone in tbe end at the inassurance. "I don't know, but coming from a perspective and experience of being her longtime friend, despite how she's like that; look at her now. She won't be an exchange student if that's frequent of her to be like that.", she shrugged.

"Ahh I remember how I used to call her 'airhead robot' before as one of my ways to tease her." Sana flips upon the recollection of her past memories with her childhood friend. "I miss her and I'm going to miss you too, Nayeon. I may not be seeing neither her or you, but please... I want you both to be good, okay?"

"Okay." Nayeon nodded and pursed her lip. "Thank you Sana, I appreciate how you're still considerate of my situation knowing you have to do the hard thing even if it's not what you want to do in the first place. I'm going to miss you too."

An alarm sound echoes in the airport followed by an announcement coming from the lady secretary.

"Next plane for South Korea to Japan has arrived. Please, fall in line to the departure entrance and follow the instructions given by the security and personnels while escorting you all. Thank you." the voice of the lady disappeared and the alarm beeped three more left before it also went gone.

Both Nayeon and Sana heard that cue. "Oh, there's my flight."  Sana stood up first on the seat and starts to grab her bag and hold the handle of her luggage while Nayeon just observes her sadly.

They both stepped near to the entrance. Nayeon and Sana stood for a while and faced theirselves. "I guess this is it."

"Yeah" Nayeon muttered.

Sana didn't waste any more time and embraced Nayeon's body, wrapping her arms around the latter as she began to cry in her presence as she saw the queue beginning to grow with other passengers from the plane.

"I'm going to miss you so much, unnie. This won't be the last of us, but I just want to say thank you so much for helping me live confortably and familiarize everything about South Korea. You have became my partner of creating memories, and I would like to do it more with you someday where the time would allow us again, my friend."

"Goodbye, Sana. I'm going to miss you a lot too. I will be fine. I promise to be okay with someone you got for me, and I have to support the paths you're choosing for your career because I'm your friend and I want to see you again too, Nayeon stated between her sniffs and heavy breathing as she continued to cry on Sana's shoulder.

They let go and smiled at each other. "You have to go there now; you wouldn't want to miss the flight, Nayeon joked.

Sana chuckled at Nayeon's hilarious remark. "They won't. The princess of Osaka, Japan, should be prioritized at all costs." She swayed her hair aside with an aura. Nayeon was impressed at how Sana transitioned from influencing her self-confidence.

"Just go, you squirrel." Nayeon pushed her away gently.

Sana walks near and falls in line across the entrance, where the guards are checking the items of every individual entering.

As she was granted access by the security, Sana turned her body one last time to wave her hand and bid goodbye for now to Nayeon who sent the same gesture. "Be safe on your way home, Satang!" Nayeon shouted, didn't cared about the people around her who were startled at her loud voice.

Sana warned her to be quiet quickly and laughed after at her friend's sillyness before she finally made her way through the inside, where her body is nowhere to be found in Nayeon's sight.

Her friend is now gone, hopefully for temporary measure... but Nayeon who is standing all alone in the middle of the airport, couldn't be helped but to feel lonely and down about it.

-----------------

If she wasn't sleeping, her mood would just force her to perform tasks that hardly even pique her interest or provide her with amusement but which she is yet required to perform, such as housework, eating, or finishing her schoolworks. Until the next day, when she heard a knock at her door, Nayeon remained monotonous and lifeless. The owner of the apartment she is renting is there in her doorway as she threw open the door, but she's not alone though. There is another person standing next to her, and as Nayeon fixed her focus on this stranger, it seemed as though everything abruptly ceased to move or function at its varied rhythms and speeds. The other girl next to her attracted her interest, she had long black hair styled in a hime cut with blonde streaks, was dressed in a black dress and a red skirt, and was carrying two bags and a luggage. Given that she truly resembles a foreigner, Nayeon surmised that this is the Japanese female Sana is referring to. The landlord utilized her purpose for being here with them even though it was uncomfortable for her to be next to these two who were lost in thought as they continued to stare at one other.

"Oh yeah... yeah, sorry. Good morning, Mrs. Kim." Nayeon sheepishly smiled and scratched her head.

Mrs. Kim shook her head and formed a little smirk in her lips. "Kids these days..." she muttered to herself.

"Sorry to interrupt your breakfast or calling you up after you just woke up but... as you can see I came here with this girl with me." Mrs. Kim said, shooting a glance at the mysterious girl beside her who is still switching her looks at the two, but stays longer on Nayeon as she gets more curious about the Korean rather.

"And I'm here to tell you that this girl will be your new roommate, Nayeon, Mrs. Kim said, gesturing her hand at the Japanese as if she were presenting her. "I received a call from your previous roommate and my tenant, Sana, that she already paid for this friend of hers to occupy with you in this dorm."

"Oh, she did?" Nayeon fakely commented, hiding her confirmation that this girl indeed is the childhood friend of Sana she's mentioning to her back in the airport.

"Yes. Well, I couldn't stay here longer. I still have to manage my son to prepare for school. I hope you two get along well." Mrs. Song patted the Japanese girl's shoulder before she left.

Nayeon and Sana's friend were the only ones left in the quiet, bright hallway. "O-oh, yeah. Please let me help you with this."

"A-arigato..." the Japanese bowed in gratitude to Nayeon. She figured that she spoke in Japanese, so it seems that unlike Sana, she would be encountering a language barrier with her because she doesn't speak Korean.

Fortunately, Nayeon knew that very familiar Japanese word, so she still understood it. She grabbed the luggage and brought it inside the dorm.

"Come in, make yourself feel at home, Nayeon invited her as she let the Japanese remove her shoes and place them on the shoerack. She steps inside, and Nayeon moves the luggage so that she can close the door.

"A-ah... eeh..." Nayeon pulled out her cellphone and searched for a translator generator on Google to help her communicate with the girl. The latter was sneaky, though; she caught Nayeon's actions and silently laughed at how cute this girl is when she is tensed and how oblivious she is also.

"You don't need to. I can speak Korean." the latter said to Nayeon, who was taken aback, her fingers almost inches away from touching the screen.

"Y-you can?"

"I studied it. Going to Korea was one of my biggest dreams when I was young, so I learned Korean with Sana." she answered

"Oh...." Nayeon reacted in fascination. It was dumb of her not to think about that. She assumed too early and didn't check it further. "Sorry, I just heard you speak Japanese, and I thought that you were not fluent in Korean."

The Japanese girl laughed. "No problem. It's my fault anyway. Well, sorry too. I just want to still speak in Japanese despite knowing other languages because I don't want to end up forgetting completely my own language, she said. "I'm afraid of that happening. My parents would probably disown me too", she joked.

"Makes sense." Nayeon nodded. "Well, that's a great way to start a conversation with you. I'm Nayeon, Sana's friend and former roommate here."

She offered her hand.

"I'm Hirai Momo, Sana's childhood bestie and... your new roommate, I believe." She smiled and accepted Nayeon's hand for a introductory handshake.

"Let's go to the couch, you should take a rest for a while. I suppose you might be tired." Nayeon said as she lets Momo have her way on the living room. "Cmon, don't be shy. This is now your second house too anyway so go ahead."

"Well, who am I to reject a kind offer. Thank you." Momo said and sat at the couch, feeling its softness that made her relax in an instant. "I came a long way from here and the heat outside along with the length of the ride I took feels like my body is already exhausted."

"Like I said, take a rest. You can sleep already if you want."

"I can't. I- I haven't ate proper breakfast yet."

"Oh, is that so?" Nayeon was quite surprised. "Hey, I'll prepare us food. Good thing you said that. I'm getting hungry too."

Nayeon grinned at Momo who had to watch her cook their breakfast meal for this morning.

After minutes of waiting, Nayeon served their food on the dining table and followed it up with drinks. Momo thanked Nayeon for this.

"I hope you like it, I'm not really that good at cooking but atleast I know how to do this so yeah... pardon me." Nayeon shyly pleaded.

"It's okay. It's not like it's burnt." Momo shook her head and examined the bacon she stabbed with fork. Taking a bite, she munched it and analyzed the feeling of it inside her mouth while Nayeon is anticipatingly waiting her her reaction.

"A little bit over cooked, but still good." Momo said, smiling. Nayeon nodded and formed a relieved smile.

"H-how can you tell it easily by the way? Does your parents taught you how to cook perhaps?"

"I just love eating, that's why." Momo smiles cheekily. "And I used that to motivate myself to cook on my own so that you know, people won't just call me as a heavy eater or eating machine for one reason. I still like those terms, it's true anyway. I don't take it much as an insult." she added.

"Ahh... woah impressive of you, Momo. I kinda feel jealous for you, I still haven't improved. Sana would probably be disappointed at me if she knows she's teaching me for nothing." Nayeon stated problematically.

"Oh so Sana is the one who cooks for you both?

"Yes, but ofcourse if she needed help I willingly volunteer."

"She won't be mad at you, I know that. That girl doesn't even get mad instantly, but when she does... nevermind, I don't want to recall that, Momo said as she nearly got terrified of that one rare particular flashback she had with her friend. "It just sends chills all over me." She acted like she was freezing cold.

"From the way you're saying that, I'm being grateful that I never triggered her in the span of 3 years of having her as my roommate." Nayeon chuckled.

"Sure you do, because you'll never like it when she's angry." Momo scoffed under her breath.

The two proceeded to take a couple of bites and a spoonful of their food before they talked to each other again.

"How did you and Sana met, if I may ask?" Nayeon curiously pondered.

"We were 8 years old back in elementary. It was the first day of school and she was my seatmate. Given how bubbly and sociative Sana's personality, she decided to come up and be friends with me which I did the same because she's so nice to me. Then one time we found out that we actually live not that far from our own houses so... that's where it all began." Momo narrated her story with Sana.

"How about you?"

"Well just like how I met you today, that's the first time me and Sana saw each other." Nayeon replied. "She was also standing there with her belongings. I thought she was clueless at what's happening around herI caught a glimpse of her blank expression but when she landed her eyes at me, there's this smile of hers that makes you feel trusted, you know? The way she looked at me, she's sure that me and her will become friends quickly and she will be okay on her stay her in Korea."

"And I'm happy. I'm happy that I somehow fulfilled and reached that expectation she has on me." Nayeon smiled as she roamed her eyes around the house, reminiscing some of those many memories she and Sana did that occured here.

"And now that I have you because Sana entrusted me to you, all I need to do is to pass my responsibility to you... and I for me to be able to do that, would you like to be friends with me, Momo?"

Momo looked at Nayeon who is offering her friendship to her, questioning for confirmation while her free hand is presented to her.

Given all the allegations she revealed with her, Nayeon does appear to be a kind person after all. She's bringing up a valid argument. Without Sana, she wouldn't be here at all, and if her friend didn't know Nayeon well enough to recommend her as her new roommate, she wouldn't have much faith in her. Sana wanted her to meet Nayeon so that she could experience what it's like to have someone like her staying by her side.

Thinking about all of that profoundly, Momo's increasing assurance and her desire to discover is what urged her to choose the right thing.

She accepted Nayeon's hand and shaked it to finalize their agreement of considering one another's creation of friendship.

"I want to be your friend, Nayeon." Momo smiled at stared at her delighted expression.

"Now we're even!" Nayeon exclaimed. "I promise, Momo. Just like everything I've done for Sana, I will treat you without difference. As long as you have me on your side, I will make sure you're going to enjoy my company as your friend and roommate."

Momo went agaped at Nayeon's swear. That was exactly what she's just thinking earlier. She wouldn't take it much as a coincidence because now, as how she can observe Nayeon; she can determine her sincerity of being close to a person and be a part of her life.

They finished their meal and Nayeon volunteered to clean the table and do the dishes as she encouraged Momo to take a look at her room.

"How is it?" Nayeon asked Momo who is standing below the doorframe, tracing the area of her new room.

"The space is just perfect for me. I like it." Momo said as she pulled her luggage with her inside.

"You and Sana were indeed friends." Nayeon blurted and stiffled a laughter as she starts washing the plates on the sink.

Momo started to open her things and remove them one by one as she places it on the bed after she decided where should she put all of these around.

She was busy inserting her folded clothes and other various garments when she heard Nayeon yelling from the kitchen.

"If you need help, don't hesitate to call me, okay?"

"Okay!" Momo shouted back after she heard that.

"Ahh I'm so glad you're here, Momo. I've been so bored and lonely these past few days." Nayeon yelled again behind the walls. Her words were audible for Momo to pick up and understand it forwardly, which it made her smile and touched at Nayeon's welcoming behavior.

Yeah, she will definitely like it here, she said to herself.

--------------------

As time passed, their closeness with each other became thinner. They started to hang out even more, especially after realizing that both of them were studying at the same campus and that they were classmates in some of their subjects.

That allowed both of them to know a lot more about each other. However, that gives Nayeon a different feeling, which she unconsciously develops as she digs deeper to learn everything about Momo.

It brings her satisfaction and delight. and attraction for her new roommate, enumerating all the moments they had in her mind where she had those feelings, keeping her to think about it every single day.

Some of her favorites are when Momo revealed that she is a dog lover just like her; she adopted two new dogs so that she wouldn't be jealous anymore of Nayeon having her own dog; Momo being the home chef as she cooks all their food every day; and they share the most similarities in their interests in other things.

Through that, she starts to see Momo differently from an admirer's perspective, which is pretty impressive for her at how unbelievable it is that Momo turned her into that when Sana couldn't even do it to her.

One month later, Nayeon and Momo celebrated Boo and Dobby's first month after being adopted.

They ate and drank alcohol like there was no tomorrow until Nayeon became drunk faster.

Momo, who is still sober from all of the contents she consumed, helps Nayeon transfer her into her room, where she can finally rest comfortably and sleep the night away.

As she was tucking the blanket around her body, she kept staring at Nayeon's peaceful face. Momo thinks she couldn't even recognize if there were times when she didn't see Nayeon as adorable and... attractive.

She was born with it, she guesses. That's why it's so natural for her to be that way, and... from how it makes her feel about it these days.

Momo's cheeks puffed as she smiled in flutter at the thoughts in her head until it was interrupted when she heard a mumbling coming out from Nayeon, who felt some movements being done to her and slightly woke up.

"M-momoring~~~" Nayeon said with a smile as she patted Momo's arms still connected to the sides of the blanket she's using to cover Nayeon's body.

"Yeah, I'm here Nabongs. Sleep well, okay? You need to rest. Goodnight." Momo said, smiling at her nickname being called in a singsong tone almost near to the usual aegyo treatment she's getting from the older which she secretly adore.

"N-night night Momoring~~~" Nayeon's hands climbs up from Momo's arms and went into her face where she cupped her cheeks. Momo couldn't move at this bunny's sudden action.

"W-what-"

"T-thank you..." Nayeon lets out a hiccup for a sec. She stared at Momo's face with half lidded eyes as she continues to pinch her soft cheeks. "Ah~ you're so r-reliable. I want to stay with you always.

I like it. I like all of you so much, Momoring hehe~"

Momo heard and saw her speak that with shock and surprise, staring at her friend who just unknowingly expressed her likedness on the latter.

Nayeon fell back asleep again, leaving her friend in dazed and confused who is still processing what did just happened.

She gulped hard and looked at Nayeon one more time, now in her sleeping state before she left the room with her senses barely functioning properly, still being disturbed by Nayeon's double meaning compliment on her.

After that day, Nayeon noticed that Momo became distant and awkward with her again. She literally personified what Sana has been describing her, and it doesn't sit well on her.

She couldn't move around the house if both of them were having this some sort of line drawn between each other that prevents them from an attempt to be closer as what friends always does.

It remained like that for almost a week until one day when she received a call from Momo.

"Hello, Momoring?"

"H-hello, is this Im Nayeon? Momo said that you're her friend, am I correct?"

"Yes, this is Nayeon you're talking at. What do you need and why are you using my friend's number?" Her eyebrows furrowed.

"Sorry if I got you unconfortable, miss. I'm Lee Sunmi, her dance instructor. I just want to inform you that Momo unfortunately got injured today during our rehearsal."

Nayeon's eyes widened, covering her mouth in bewilderment. "W-what?! How's she doing right now, Miss Lee?"

"We already given her proper medical aid to treat her injuries. She's here in my office, you can take her home to rest and help her recover. I already considered it as a temporary leave for her. As an instructor, my student's health condition matters the most to me."

"Thank you, Miss Lee." Nayeon said with gratitude present in her voice. She ended the call and placed it hurriedly on the table as she rushed to prepare herself before going outside and drive ahead to the dance studio where Momo is at.

More than half an hour later, Nayeon successfully took Momo and she brought her home where she applied instant care in massive worriedness.

"What happened to you?" Nayeon asked Momo who remains silent on her seat since during the drive.

"My foot went outbalanced while performing our dance break." Momo explained, her voice is plain along with her emotion.

Nayeon clicked her tongue and shook her head. "That's bad. I hope you got to be careful next time, okay?"

Momo just nodded and hugged her pillow tighter.

"Do you want to eat?"

She just shook her head and answered "No."

"O-okay..." Nayeon is starting to feel awkward again and she hates it. "Uhm, do you know how long you'll be out?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Momo repositioned herself, her body now facing away from Nayeon who has now at her lowest limit of resisting as she inhaled deeply before deciding to pour out everything she's enduring.

Momo was still acting different and Nayeon who's had enough, confronted her to know the reason why.

"Why are you being so cold to me?"

Momo didn't make a move.

"I know you're still awake Momo. What's wrong, did I do something bad to you that I don't know?"

Meanwhile, Momo is hiding herself her face in the pillow with tension and fear.

"This won't do. I guess I'll ask her about it later." Nayeon has given up, sighing heavily. She was about to rotate her body when she heard Momo speak behind her.

"You didn't."

Nayeon slowly looked back at Momo who is now staring at the ceiling. "... but you did do something you didn't know."

Nayeon's curiousity activated. "Is that why? Cmon, tell me. What is it?"

"So you really don't remember." Momo chuckled at the confirmation. "You were really out like a light at being drunk on that night anyway."

"W-wait... HAVE WE DONE SOMETHING- UHH... MOMO, D-DID WE?!" Nayeon suddenly hugged her body as her face presents surprise.

"What?! No! That's not what I mean!" Momo exclaimed. "Gosh, that's not what I'm referring at, you pervert."

"P-pervert?!" Nayeon defended. "You're the one here who's giving double meaning, as if I can tell what are you really implying!"

"But that doesn't deny you being like that, grandma." Momo rolled her eyes. Nayeon's agitation fueling up inside of her.

"AAAGHHH JUST GO STRAIGHT TO THE POINT HIRAI!"

"Fine, you wanna know?!"

"Yes!" Nayeon replied. "Do you know how I keep asking myself, What have I done to you that you became so distant and cold to me? It was like, very weird considering how much we had fun when we celebrated Boo and Dobby's first month of adoption."

Momo saw Nayeon lowering her head, probably at the switch of sadness she's starting to feel. Having empathy for her, she had finally decided to do it. It will, after all... would help both sides to know the answer they've been peering for.

"Yeah, we did have so much fun that night, Momo agreed. "That's why you became so drunk you wouldn't even remember that you told me how much you like me, Nayeon."

Nayeon's eyes seem to be almost going to pop out of her sockets. Her heartbeat rose, embarrassment went over the roof, and chills ran throughout her body as she realized what she had done.

It was her fault all along that she was being like this, not just because of Momo's strenuous actions being the cause, but because of her drunken confession being exactly why.

Nayeon has concluded that she won't be drinking alcohol ever again. She hissed at herself.

"What did you say?"

"You said you liked me, Nayeon, Momo repeated. Nayeon became flustered even worse. "I was fixing the blanket for you when you just grabbed me out of nowhere on my arms, then it crawled upward, and you were pinching my cheek," she recalled.

Nayeon couldn't remember but she can surely imagine what Momo is describing and knowing it was her who's doing the shameful act, she is having the heavy guilt for herself on doing that.

"You've been telling me how reliable I am and you were grateful of it... until you just informed me of your likedness that you're having on me."

Momo slowly sat up on the couch, her injured feet remained anchored on the end.

"And I was wondering about it for days, that's why I couldn't have myself going near from you... because, I don't know... I'm troubled? Thinking, what exactly is this likedness that you developed from me?"

Nayeon looked up and saw Momo looking at after asking that.

"So, Nayeon. Since you and I want to be clear about this. I gave mine... and to make it fair, please give yours." Momo said.

"Do you like me as just a friend... or is there something else more than that?"

Nayeon remained staring at Momo for a while as she replayed all the occurrences of hints regarding her attraction to Momo that had progressed that led them to this very moment.

Knowing what she has done accidentally and in mistake on her part, Nayeon has no choice but to take the turn and provide what Momo wants her to give.

She breathed deeply and tightened her lips before she spoke of the revelation behind what happened on that given night.

"I do like you, Momo. You're more than just a friend to me."

Momo didn't show any surprise or shock in her face. She remained stoic, but deep inside her blossomed heart, blood is flowing from the swift run of cursing through her body like butterflies all over her stomach gone wild.

The effects of the enjoyment and satisfiction that she rather felt is taking control of her.

"How did that happened?" Momo asked. Nayeon pleaded mentally that she could just collapse anything in the mix of utter nervousness, emnbarassment and terror disturbing her.

"I- it was when I got to do things with you that we both share the same interests for." Nayeon said. "The more and longer I see you being happy with me as we do all of that, it was like I just want us to stay like this forever. That's probably why my feeling grown upon you. My heart's solution for me to keep you still on my side is to make you mine.

So I fell in love with you. The new replacement as my roommate that I met at that door, I found her so beautiful and it was a lucky opportunity for me to get to know such pretty interesting person like you, Momo.

You were the only one who make me know what is love in my whole life. I can't believe you took it just easily to grab my attention and expand it into further possibility that myself would want more of you just like how I admire all of who you are.

It was like, we're compatible to each other. We're indeed like a pair. And I like that idea, because Momo... I would surely be delighted of having you as my partner through all of my happiness, sadness and in our interests for the rest of our lives."

Nayeon expressed all of that and Momo can admit that she spotted how it came all from the heart.

The sincerity, the dedication, the admiration. It was all there within Nayeon's speech of confessing the love she's protecting in her own will.

Not until Momo saw a teardrop flowed down on Nayeon's face. She was shocked at well, she caught it and looked at it.

"God, what is this? W-what am I crying for?" Nayeon puzzledly asked as she coped it with laughter. "I brought up myself that much, do I?"

"Yeah, you do." Momo nodded. "But it was fine to me. I truly understood and felt how you really liked me, Nayeon."

Nayeon smiled and nodded. "T-thanks."

"I agree with everything what you said. Our lifestyle perfectly suits within each other. We couldn't find anything that will seperate us apart from each other. It was like, wherever I go; you'll follow and we'll be just like that on repeat."

"We can go through circles with it, but you know what... I'll never get tired of it, especially if I was running along with you Nayeon."

Nayeon's smile shrinked as she sensed that Momo might have been leading up to something here.

"I agree on all of that because, Nayeon...

I would be happy to be your partner too and I'm looking forward to share my life with you more, because I like you too."

Nayeon walked towards to Momo and accepted her invitation presented with open arms as she hugged her lovingly.

The two felt each other's heat fumed ny the rapid beats of their heart pumping nothing but love and affection the more they gain contact and attention with each other.

"I'm sorry if I kept you waiting and worried, Nayeon. I was scared too that you'll choose the opposite of what I'm expecting from you. I thought you wouldn't like me back." Momo whispered apolegetically.

"Don't mind it, Momo. Atleast it was all worth it, in the end we still had ourselves discovering that we are still even in anything, including love." Nayeon stroked Momo's hair from behind and squeezed her body a bit tighter.

They separated from each other and leaned away, creating distance in their middle. Both smiled at each other, knowing how their bond has improved and evolved today.

"So... we are dating now then?" Momo smirked while blushing.

"Yes." Nayeon laughed and nodded in answer. "Yes, we are."

-------------

9 MONTHS LATER

For their 9th anniversary of their relationship as girlfriends, Nayeon and Momo fulfilled their desire to go to Japan to visit and stay there.

With Momo having Japan as her home country, she guided Nayeon in their adventure to explore the wonders and treasures of Japan.

In addition, they didn't come here only for that reason. They also flew to Japan, which allowed them to be reunited with their friend Sana, who currently lives in her hometown of Osaka.

"SANA!"

"NAYEONNIEEEE!!!! AHHH MOMORINGGG!!! I MISSED YOU TWO SO MUCHHH!" Three of them ran ahead and went for a group hug as they got to see their friend again after being gone for quite some time.

"How are you these days, Sana?"

"Doing great! My studies are stable in its high grades, I got to spend time being with my family and this time... with you girls which I'm very happy that I am because I love to be with you two again~~" Sana pouted and cooed which heartwarmed Nayeon and Momo.

"And alsooo, I would like to introduce someone to you girls..." Sana stepped aside and let this unfamiliar Japanese woman to appear and face Nayeon and Momo.

"Hi, I'm Myoui Mina. Nice to you meet you two." She softly smiled and presented her hand for a greeting.

"Nice to meet you too, Mina. I'm Im Nayeon."

"And Hirai Momo, we're Sana's bestfriends." They accepted the shake.

"You girls have finally met my girlfriend." Sana said as she holds Mina's hand who became shy and touched.

"H-HUH?!" Nayeon and Momo reacted simulteanously. "Omooo, you two are in a relationship?!"

"For how long now?"

"We're going strong for more than a year and counting." Sana explained with huge proud smile in her face as she looked at Mina tenderly while swaying their locked hands back and forth.

"How about you two? Are you both interested at someone these days?" Sana asked the two of them.

Nayeon and Momo glanced at each others next and exchanged smirks at one another.

"Actually, Sana..." Momo went first.

Nayeon grabs Momo's waist to pull her closer beside her and holds her hand nefore raising it. "Momo and I are in a relationship too."

"HUH?!" This time it was Sana and Mina who were surprised. "What?! Really?!"

"Yup. It's been 9 months for us now, and we're celebrating it today here in Japan." Nayeon informed and laid her head on Momo's shoulder.

"Well, that makes it even better!" Sana beamed up. "Since both of us are here as couples... why don't we just have a 'double date' instead?!" Sounds good?", Sana initiated, changing the purpose of their meetup.

"Count us in!" Nayeon and Momo approved before all four of them laughed at how great their moods are having so far.

"Lets go eat first!!! I'm really starving already." Sana requested.

"Oh so that's why you didn't wanted to eat breakfast first back at the house, eh? You wanted to save it up until once we arrive here at the mall."

"Hehe sorry Minariii~"

"I will never say no to food so let's go!" Momo cheered which Nayeon found her antics hilarious.

Sana and Mina walked first to lead the way. Behind them were Nayeon and Momo, who shared romantic gazes at one another before holding their hands again as they followed the other duo in front to officially begin their double date together.

They scanned through every areas where this plant could appear, and they included it on their mission to assign for their outlaws in command whenever they get dispatched from outside to face these diabolical monsters roaming around.

Just like today, two of the agents from one of the headquarters in Japan named YN and his sidekick Momo were tasked to collect some herbal plant for a new experimentation to be performed.

Scanning around the surroundings of Kyoto, they managed to detect one; which leads them to an abandoned mall. They entered together with the hopes of discovering one for them to finally believe their findings.

"The dot is blinking at the center." YN who is holding the tracker in his hand while walking, said to Momo flashing a light around just like him. "If we will based it from the interior map of this mall..."

"... that means the plant we're looking for is..." Momo and YN stopped on their tracks as they reached the border of the open grounds of the mall. Lowering her head, YN looks at her while waiting for the next words for him to listen. "... down here."

"Basement. We're going to the parking lot." YN specified after getting what Momo is pertaining to. "Cmon, we gotta hurry up and look for emergency stairs that will take us there."

Momo and YN quickened the speed of their steps. "Here!" he exclaimed but not that loud, as they're still trying not to create too much noise to attract monsters that might be strolling around nearby.

They went downstairs and reached the basement. It was dark, empty and almost suffocating with the almost less than average amount of air consisting the place. "Let's stick together. Stay by my side, I don't want one of us to get lost in the dark." YN grabbed Momo's wrist and pulled it closer to him. The black curly haired Japanese woman felt slightly astounded at her partner's sudden touch.

As they continued to cautiously look around while illuminating some spots with the use of their flashlights, they finally directed theirselves into a bush filled with the special herbal plant they've been looking for.

"Gotcha." YN pulls out his scissors and plastic bag. He cuts the stem of the leaves one by one and placed it inside the container while Momo is keeping his vision clear with her light.

After they finished, they both faced each other as YN returns the things back to his backpack. "We're now done. Let's go head back to the base."

Momo nodded. As they're about to walk back to the entrance of the emergency stairs, Momo accidentally kicked a single empty can scattered in the ground; creating loud sounds of metal clanging echoed throughout the parking lot.

"Shit!" Momo cursed under her breath. She gritted her teeth and shuts her eyes in irritation at the accident she has done.

"Oh no." YN looked at her frightenedly. Creepy roars became audible to them from a distance, signalling that the sounds has indeed attracted some of the monsters at the end far away from them in the parking lot to become attracted at the noise.

Hearing some increasing sounds of footsteps, YN and Momo's instincts became aware of what's about to happen. "T-they're coming. We have to run. NOW!"

YN didn't cared anyone if he raised his voice. The monsters already knew of their presence now anyway. It was no use to play safe.

Momo and YN dashed through the steps upstairs and went back to the first floor of the mall. Screeches and intimidating growls greeted them too as it seems like they got alerted too that an invader has arrived in their territory.

Preparing theirselves for a fight to ensue with these bastards, they pull out their handy weapon; a gun out of their waist pocket. While they're on a run for survival, YN and Momo begun to encounter one tethered creature along their way. It looked at them fiercely and opened his mouth to show its hunger, with the black substance slowly coming out from it; effectively disguted the both outlaws.

Without any further ado, YN shot the monster straight to its head double times. "Go! Go! Keep moving forward! We might get trapped!" He encouraged Momo to proceed running by tapping her shoulder.

More monsters emerges from the shadows, YN and Momo back and forth fires bullets to each of them as they defend theirselves side by side. It doesn't mean an easy escape for them now as they also had to face some monsters who had a slightly tougher skin and more resistance to damage.

They why it left both YN and Momo to reveal their secondary weapon they carry with them to finish this in no matter of time. Sliding out their katanas from their backs, they start slashing and cutting all the parts of monsters; causing it to get ripped out or left open with the insides and blood to flow out.

Too occupied with their respective enemies, Momo didn't noticed that a hand from a nearly slained monster just grabbed her foot. She kicked it repeatedly to let go, only for a monster to have an opportunity to charge at her and send her to the ground, dropping her gun away from her.

The monster tried to push its face closer to Momo so that it could get an infectious bite. Momo groaned through her all strength to push the monster away until she uses a knife to aggressively stab the neck. It left her in shock when it is still moving and doing all its best to include Momo as its next victim.

Not until when she had to witness a brutal kill close to her as YN yelled at the frightening sight of Momo about to be devoured by the hideous creature. "MOMO!" He ran and swung his katana to the left, straightfully aiming it on the head and decapitating the monster as its blood splattered around his overpowered sidekick.

Momo was just laying down on the ground, still eyes wide open in shock and confusion about what just happened. The body slowly collapsed in front of her and YN's figure appeared on her vision as it kneeled down and checked on her. "A-are you okay, Momoring? Did you get bitten?"

"Y-yeah. I'm good. Not a single scratch." Momo nodded. YN thankfully didn't found any bite marks around Momo's exposed skin. Due to relief and being afraid of nearly losing Momo, he immediately pulled her closer to him; where he cuddled the stunned Momo around her arms for comfort.

"Thank God I was alarmed right on time to save you." YN muttered as he took more time to feel the still alive and well partner of his who is now blushing and fluttered much at the contact of their bodies together.

Around half an hour later, they both safely returned back to their base. Informing good news to them about successfully collecting plants for a wider research and purposive experiments, their comrades along with their very own command leader thanked and congratulated them for accomplishing their task.

Back in their own rooms, YN was placing back his belongings to his locker when a knock on the door grabbed his attention. It was Momo standing there with a white towel on her hand.

"Oh, hey. I didn't noticed you there." YN said as he closed the locker and fold a towel to his arm too. "What do you want us to talk about?"

"I just wanna say thank you for earlier." Momo smiled appreciatingly. "You saved my life out there. If it wasn't for you, I would probably be one of those infected now, insanely limping around the mall without no memories of how I lived as a human before."

"I had to it. You're my sidekick, Momo. It's my responsibility to put you in no harm. We got each other's back and I would never let you slip out of my sight unless I'm contended enough that I'm looking at you safe and alive." YN replied to her grateful message.

"Yeah I can see that. You just proved that a while ago, and I couldn't be more contented than to pour all of my trust for you to take care of me as much as I want to do the same for you." Momo giggled and tightened her hold on her towel as she shyfully swayed her body.

YN stepped closer to her and stood in front of her near the door. "But could you do the same thing for me about something that I've been hiding from you ever since I get to meet you when you were assigned to be my new partner?" He asked, looking around her features that never failed to make your butterflies in your stomach to go wild.

"Uhm... w-what is it?"

YN sighed and looked around the hallway, wanting this to become a moment only you two could understand and hear each other out. "I like you, Momo. I really do. That's what it keeps me always motivated and devoted from treating you good and keeping you safe and comfortable beside me. You know I lost a partner before, I sweared to myself that I'll never lose one again. Then you came, and you made me feel this something in my heart almost undescribable for me to begin with. Now I know to myself that if something happens to you, I never forgive myself for that... and a part of myself will never recover if you do."

Momo was just standing there in surprise as she watches her friend and mentor confessing his love courageously in front of her. Her heart blossomed, blood rushing fast in her body up towards her cheeks to form intense blushes when she finally got to know that her crush adores her back.

"I know you'll be shocked. I can see it already. You didn't expect me to be this emotional and heartfelt for you but just to let you know, I've been waiting for this moment to come. To finally tell you how much I love you." YN chuckled as he placed his hands on his back and lowered his back in embarassment. "And now, I'll only get to wish that you're fe-"

His words were cut off when YN weren't allowed to speak anymore by Momo who interrupted him by cupping her slim hands to each sides of his faces. She squeezed his cheeks and Momo enjoyed how adorable you looked when she tame you like this.

"Uhh... ehh... M-momo?" You asked confusedly with your muffled voice.

"You don't have to do that too any longer, YN. I'm here to grant it all right now, because I love you too YN."

Momo kissed YN, sending shockwaves through his body as he feel and taste the sincere love gesture across his lips. Melting at the intimacy, YN surrendered from his desires as he touched Momo back by placing his hand behind her head and pull her closer to deepen the passionate kiss.

As they released, both of them laughed sheepishly from one another before they smiled softly. It didn't last long for Momo however, when an idea popped up in her mind that led to the curve of her lips transform into a playful smirk.

"Follow me, YN." Momo holds your hand and pulls you with her.

"Uhh hey, sure but... where are we going?"

Taking a turn to the right hallway, both of you entered a room. It had to recognize immediately from the toilet and showerhead connected to the walls that Momo had just led you to the headquarters' public bathroom.

"W-wait, why did you take us here? This is for anyone?!" You hissed at Momo after you glanced at the sign on the door.

"Don't worry about it. No one will catch us if we won't get too obvious~" Momo said as she caressed your chest and looked at you with her changing aura.

"Look at me." She turned your head to face her.

"Isn't it good to save water, especially when are in a midst of an apocalyse?" Momo asked.

"Y-yeah." You nodded. "Momo, are you saying that..."

"Yeah. I just thought what if... we just clean ourselves up by showering TOGETHER?~" Momo seductively smirked as she gripped your toned arms. You gulped at her growing lost visible in her eyes. She stole your towel and joined it with hers as she hooked it on of the available cubicle doors.

"Let's get started, shall we? We still have to rest afterwards." Momo pulled you with her again, inserting yourself in a free space only occupied by you and her; where she could get to enjoy her time with you tonight for a steamy shower.

She had you in for another kiss before she stood straight in front of you. "What are you waiting for? I'm dirty, take these off from me first." Momo said as she spreaded her arms, causing to inflate her visible cleavage from the tightness of her smelly and filthy suit from the innards of those monsters both of you killed in the mission.

For the first time ever, it won't be your leader that you'll get to comply with her commands to you  You are into Momo tonight, and you're willing to serve and satisfy what she wants and needs for you to make her feel pleasured tonight.

You ran your hand behind Momo, searching for the tip of the zipper and trailing it down to her lower back. There were supporting straps included in her outfit to add stability of its grip to her body and you unbuckled those too; exposing her back to the cold air filling the entire room.

Holding the two folds of her suit, you seperated it further to allow her to slip off the straps in her shoulders. The cups of her pure black laced bra barely managed to contain her large mounds  that were irresistible for you not to salivate with.

Her well-built abs displayed on her midsection were also unveiled as you go deeper from sliding off her garment. Her top is now hanging below, noticing that it was caused by her shorts not removed yet from her waists.

You inserted your fingers inside the waistband and pulled it downwards, as she is now in her matching black panties as well.

Finally making her half naked, you hanged her dirty clothes at the door and admired the view of her incredible body for a while.

"Enjoying the view? Can you believe it that these are all... for you to use if you want to feel good?"

"Fuck, I couldn't even depict if I'm dreaming right now or not." You muttered as you shuddered at her sultry tone. "This is so unreal."

"Come and find it out then." She smickered as you stepped forward on her. Momo took the turn to strip all your clothes until you were left with nothing but your boxers outlining your fully erected cock. She couldn't help but to bit her lips at how fascinating it looks.

"You're so big. I can't wait to feel it stuffed in my mouth." Momo muttered as she lowered her sight. She looked back up to you and embraced each other up again with her pulling your face close to hers as you wrap your arms around her waist.

As both of you make out, her supple breasts were now squished to your chest as you leaned more to her. You grabbed those meaty ass of hers and slowly squeezed it as you feel her skin filling the gap of your hands.

"God, you look so freaking sexy Momo." You said as you looked at her magnificent figure in a black lingerie, effectively turning you on.

"I would really love for you to say that to me often." Momo giggled.

"Oh be assured with that."

Your hands roamed to her sides before it landed on her large boobs as you begun to massage and caressed it with your hands, feeling its softness and perfectly weight for it to bounce on your hold.

Grasping the lock between the two cups, you untangled it and opened her bra, revealing your gift as two bare delicious breasts greeted your eyes.

You licked your tongue and looked at Momo who is anticipating for you to do what's on your mind. "Go ahead, like I said. It's all yours."

Delighted at that permission, you fondled her obs before you finally get to discover its insatiable taste by suckling her hardened nipples and brown areola to her right breasts.

Not wanting to leave the other unattended, you palmed it with all gentle as you get to enjoy sucking her tits. Momo purred and ruffled your hair in a slow pace while taming you once again.

Circling and kisisng every spots of her right breast, you moved forward after to her left breast and did exactly the same; however you did something different this time as you flickered your tongue in her nipples and licked her underboob while your other hand travels down to her panties.

Momo felt your hand invading her wet cavern as you slipped in to her panties and inserted your slender fingers there. Now that you give attention to her crotch, she did the same as she holds your hardened shaft still imprisoned by the confines of your boxers.

She slowly stroked it as she moans with the movements of your fingers pumping in and out on her pussy while on the hand, you whimpered at the feeling of her strokes to your dick as your face is buried between her cleavage.

Kissing her neck and lips once more after you freed her breasts, you seperated your face away from Momo to allow her to kneel and lower down your boxers, finally revealing your huge cock that almost hit her face when it sprung.

"Mmm~ it even looks bigger at this angle." Momo said, licking her lips as she reached out and performed some strokes while your pre-cum streams down in her fingers.

You sighed and groaned as she played with your throbbing shaft more and more until she decided to have a taste of it by circling the tip and your head.

She moaned as she pumped her head more inch by inch to your length, making every skin not left stained with the mix if your pre-cum and her saliva. Licking and slurping as she traced your bulging veins of your impressive length, she curled her fists tighter to add more pressure on her strokes.

You glanced Momo doing a blowjob to you from above and moaned at the pleasure she has been giving you masterfully. Your satisfied sounds is what makes Momo to smile that she's doing the right thing.

She raised your cock and blew your testicles as she toyed it on her hands, your eyes largened at the new found refreshing feeling that Momo spotted. It wasn't a matter of time before your balls gets to join your cock on getting wet with Momo's slobbering mouth.

She sucked each of your balls while pumping your length as she stares above at you with her hungry pair of orbs before she returns to it and gave you an instant deepthroat, you grunted at the heat and the gags that envelopes and vibrated your manhood.

Lasting for almost 10 seconds later, she removed her face away from being almost buried in your shaved groin before she introduced to you next her another way of pleasuring your manhood.

Putting your shaft between her ample mounds, she used it to ejaculate you as your moaned grow louder at how the pillowy and comfortable feeling it sends to your body.

She stopped moving, silently instructing you to do it on your own this time. It motivated you to buckle your hips as you thrusted forward and out repeatedly with your cock still trapped between her jiggling breasts as she holds it steadily.

Momo felt your cock twitching and sensed it as a signal that you're now close to reach your orgasm. She joined your movements and now the both of you are cooperating to make you finally let loose until your cum has successfully spurted out to Momo's face, breasts and some in her hair.

It was too much that Momo had to scooped every stream of it and take it to her mouth to prevent it from being wasted. As she finished, Momo glanced at you and raised herself back up to equal your height.

"So delicious." She commented on the load you delivered for her. Letting you breath out to rest a bit from your orgasm, Momo decided to tell you something first to alarm you what she prefers to do next. "You get to taste me now, don't want you to be the one who gets left behind."

She sat in the toilet seat and spreaded her legs for you. You took the initiative to crouch down and plant you lips to her glistening folds as Momo whimpered at how you carefully spreaded her entrance.

Your tongue invaded her pussy and wiggled it against her insides. Momo moaned in ecstasy as she is now the one feeling how is it to be pleasured orally by her mate and lover.

Her arousal keeps on increasing as she gets to feel every bit of your lips and tongue moving in sync all around her walls while it traces the line of her slit. You even focused on her puffy clit and blew it before you kissed it repeatedly.

"O-ohhh my~ YN... Y-yes yes right there!" Momo cries out as she gripped your hair and pushed your face more to her cavern when she found out that you successfully hit her g-spot. Meanwhile, you observed that your lips and chin are getting wetter from her fluids leaking out.

Momo groped her own breasts to add the euphoria as you continued to tongue fuck her pussy and eat it in an increasing intensity. This reached the required method for her to began quivering her legs as she is now about to reach her orgasmic bliss.

Few more pumps from your fingers who just joined in a late timing while you licked her folds still, she gave her final howl as she squirted out her juices in your face while you attempted to catch some of it in your mouth for you to drink and have a taste of her too.

As she panted to rid out her newly arrived orgasm, you stood up and opened the shower head where the water is now flowing out to the floor. You lend a helpful hand to Momo and she accepted it with a smile.

Both of you shared a reassuring and caring eyes that you two always give for one another in your missions together before Momo nodded and gave you a proof that she is ready for this moment.

Knowing that she's all fine with this, you quickly went to work right away as you stood behind Momo who bended for you.

You slowly entered her body with your hardened cock and gently pumped it in to her welcoming hole before you get to hold each of her wrists and position yourselves in stand and deliver.

You groaned at the sensation as you pounded Momo from behind, her juicy ass rippling from the impact of your body bumping at her while she moans in pleasure at the feeling of your cock rubbing her insides.

She was amazed at how you immediately discovered her g-spot too early and now she has this lustful smile plastered on face as you kept on fucking her.

You amped your thrusts harder, sending Momo to purse forward. Her moans turns to screams as she truly enjoys the combined strength of your pounding and your largening cock drilling up her pussy.

"Fuck... fuck... FUCK! Oh my god you're so great in this, YN. I'm so-mhmmm-turned on right now!"

Sounds of claps from the collision of your wet bodies together goes louder, her hanging hair and breasts were both swaying and bouncing matching the pace of your cock lunging into her.

Few more rams to give into her and you shot out your second load out of her gaping hole, your cum landed all over back which didn't lasted long as it were all washed away by the water from the shower.

Momo noticed her body being carried back up with your hands grabbing underneath her shoulders as you stood her with her back facing your chest. She leaned onto it as she felt your hands knead her tits once again but with a slimy feeling as you added some liquid soap in your palm before rubbing it all over her skin.

As you covered her entire body with soap, Momo does the same for you. However, she left your lower part ignored for a while when you pulled her with you as you sat in the toilet seat and Momo understood the initiation real quick.

Your member pointed straight ahead at Momo's used pussy, assisting her to easily insert it back on her as she slowly sat in your lap with her cock filling her up again.

She rode you in a reverse sitting cowgirl, bouncing herself in a moderate pace while you returned on playing with her hypnotizing huge breast while grazing her puckered clit through your fingertips; sending her into the familiar sensation she just had earlier.

Adding it with some grinding of her hips, you moaned with her at how it feels so good having your cock going in different angles as it kept on thrusting inside her walls. Holding it as your substitute handle to maintain her balance, you nibbled around her nape as Momo whimpered at your soft lips gliding around her smooth skin as you continuously slammed her rear in your crotch.

You gripped harder into Momo, tightened fingers leaving some prints in her skin. She tilted her head and pressed her lips against yours, dueling for another sloppy kiss as she sucked and licked your teeth and sides of your tongue while you explored her mouth that will contrast to her lustful actions. You moaned with her on the kiss before you halted on fucking her moist pussy to remove her on your lap. That's for her to make her straddle your erection and face you now where she can easily kiss you back and for you to gnaw and suck on her hardened nipples after. "Ugh ugh nghh mmhphh I-I'm cumming! haah haah oh!" assorted noises escaped Momo's as the only thing she could react at your huge meaty girth pummeling her walls roughly, making her bounce extremely and voice go shaky until you let out your third wave of sticky cream spurting high enough to mess Momo's face, breasts and torso again.

In retribution, Momo also timed her squirt along with your cum release as her warm juices flooded your thighs and legs after you lift her up; a fair situation to occur.

There were footsteps that joined the sound of the running water from the shower as you and Momo noticed that there's two fellow members of their organization just entered the bathroom and mind their own business.

You paused to guard any obvious movements of theirs in case they might accidentally get caught red-handed so you and Momo had to be careful with this.

As you're about to be contented that none of them suspects anything as they continue to talk about a random topic not minding someone very near to them is taking a shower while secretly engaging to have a sex with a fellow comrade who is a sexy woman inside the cubicle, Momo surprises you when she steps behind you and grabbed your sensitive cock; awakening its hardness back as she strokes it.

"W-what the- Momo!"

"Ssh~ Be quiet if you don't want them to see us like this." Momo whispered in your ear. You failed to contain a moan in your mouth as she involves her another hand to roll your balls in her fingers while she proceeds to pump your length until it's erected again. "Just imagine, they take a peek and led theirselves to watch you getting jacked off by a fine lady like me. They'll be so jealous to be in your position. Do you even realize how lucky you are on winning the heart of a woman like me?"

She rotated you and stared at you with her cunning smirk, you shook your head at this new side of the seductress that you will be getting to meet frequently from now on whenever her horny state got activated.

As the loud voices of those two men decreases, signifying that they just walked out of the room and leaving both of you to be alone again, you took the opportunity to speak again to address what she just did.

"You're crazy for that, Momoring. I barely had to endure that." You said as you sighed deeply and looked at your manhood standing and poking her abs.

"That's what you do to me, YN." Momo winked and pinched your cheeks. "Let it all out on me, we'll go for last round then we can wash ourselves fully after."

"Alright. What do you want us to do next?"

"Hmm~ I want to try... this."

Momo raised her one leg and you hold for support as she stand with her other leg only planted in the tiles of the floor. She moved your cock closer to her entrance and you took that as a signal to slid into her, setting yourselves up in another new sex position in similarity of a ballet dancer through its required form of stance.

You kissed Momo on the lips as she wrapped her arms around your head while you rammed into her wet core mercilessly and aggressively to test how it will took Momo to give in.

Feeling her insides compressing your cock as you rocked her body back and forth, you let a muffled moan in tune with her own as both were feeling the pleasure invading their nearly drained bodies.

Momo was challenged to strengthen her grip into you as she is now raising both of her legs in the air when you lifted the other one before sending her in the wall to lean on while you cornered her on fucking her precious little tight pussy.

"Ooh ahh ungh Y-YN... I love this so much~ I knew it would be awesome when it's been done by you."

"Damn, Momo you're so freaking hot. Why I couldn't get enough of you."

"So as I! Give it all you got, YN. Don't be easy on me. Oh god I can't wait to do this with you everytime we want."

"As you say so, Momo. Fuck it feels so incredible!"

You drilled your cock into her pussy upwards as Momo insanely bounced in the intensity of the impact of your crotch clapping with her thick ass. Her moans and screams alternate until you interrupted her by shutting her damn noisy mouth with your rough kiss.

Another slow grinds and palming of her supple breasts to give yourself a short timeout before you returned the speed by thundering her loving hole with your maximized manhood.

Momo felt that twitching again in her velvety tunnel, knowing that you're close on your end. "D-do it inside! I want you to fill me up!"

"Are you sure? Is that safe?"

"Yeah positive. I took birth control earlier. Just trust me, please I want you to make me feel good for the final time."

The desperate pleads of your lover on making her satisfied and enjoy is too harsh to be denied. Strong few thrusts and your cock called it a wrap as it spasmed at the splash of wave flowed into her insides, giving her the first ever creampie from you.

Her face lit up and eyes shined white while she gaping her mouth in awe as you suckled on her tits one more to ride her orgasm away with your shaft still remained in her slimy pussy.

She loved how it absolutely makes her full as you couldn't even count how many times your cock gave ropes of pearly fluid that resulted in Momo to feel how it overflowed and broke out of her folds, your liquid streaming down in the sides of her fluffy thighs.

You slipped your cock out of her dominated core and helped her to sit on the toilet. You cursed in admiration at when the sight has became visible to you of Momo's lustful smile watching the continuous leaking of your seed out of her.

Both were slightly sweaty and spent at your first ever sex with her new girlfriend, you did a couple of inhale and exhale, planting both of your palms and lower your head as you breathe heavily.

"We did it so well..." Momo said as she scooped some of your cum and sucked her fingers with it to have a taste of its saltiness. "Our bodies were indeed compatible with each other."

"I'll take it as part of our destiny to be matched together." You chuckled and smiled unbelievably at Momo's never-fading dirty talks. "Stop doing that now, you're sounding like you want another one."

"What if I do?" Momo dared you as she crossed her legs and stares at you menacingly.

"I would like to give it to you, but no thanks. That's enough for tonight, Momoring. We have to take a proper bath now. Don't you want to rest?" You declined her dare as you stepped below the shower to wash yourself.

Momo saw your serious expression and pouted. "But I'm just kidding though. Don't be too serious." She replied as she went away from the toilet to join you.

You looked at her and assumingly sensed her worriedness and tensed emotion. She was focused on scrubbing her skin with soap when you turned her to face you and cooperate with you on another passionate kiss.

"I should be telling the same as you. Chill, okay? I'm not mad. It's just a joke, I know. I don't even see that for my blood to boil at you with just tiny thing such as that. I just love you so much Momo and I'll always think of what you feel for me." You patted her head and kissed her again in her peachy colored cheek.

"How sweet of you, YN." Momo blushed at your heartfelt words. She coiled her arms around you and glanced. "I'll do the same, ofcourse. Remember that now in our relationship, we'll be as one and it will stay like that for the rest of our lives. Whatever it takes for us to keep on surviving and defending ourself against the odds around us. I love you."

"I love you too, Momo. I will be your protector and romancer until time will tell us how we end."

"Till death do us part." Momo added and you nodded agreeingly at her truthful oath. You kissed again before continuing to freshen yourselves up on a cold bath to ensure your entire cleanliness.

You and Momo sneakily returned to your respective rooms and dressed up before rejoining again, as you proudly and joyfully cuddled with her to make your relationship official for anyone in the camp to see and determine the good news.

Later at that same night, Minatozaki Sana participated in the Fatal 5 Way match with the winner will get awarded as the number #1 contender to face the current Intercontinental Champion in the roster at the upcoming September premium live event Clash In The Combat officially announced by general manager Bang Sihyuk. Unfortunately, Sana was one of the 4 fighters who failed to achieve the victory as one of them instead took the pin and secure a chance at the said championship match. Sana felt sad and upset at herself for not turning what she and Yuta agreed on to be a reality. She wanted to make Yuta proud of her but again, she failed. She believed that she had that advantage already but the moment stole it from her, and now it's making her blame the fault at herself because she's the one who did the failure of accomplishing her task. It wasn't too late though, as what she keeps on saying to herself. She can still able to understand that not every time will favor on what she wants. She just have to keep moving forward and be grateful that atleast she's still managing to maintain her relationship with The Bloodline, but she assures that it will turn out soon that she'll finally succeed to make Yuta acknowledge her to be part of their faction and somehow... began to easily impress herself more on him once they had a wider closeness between each other. Without anyone's knowledge, the real reason why she's so motivated in getting close with them especially Yuta is that... Sana wanted to be friends with them while she's keeping a secret of having an affection for the The Empire Chief. This was her strategy to prove herself how worthy she can be and attempt him to share the same feelings she's having. Although so far, she wasn't seeing any signs; she could tell that Yuta was getting along with her and that's fine enough for her. It may be going slow but atleast it's moving. It ain't going to be a distraction though, that's why she can somehow set aside her feelings either when he's in front of The Bloodline or exactly at Yuta. The important thing remains and that is to stick at the plan of strengthening their bond just as what she always wanted from the start. Back at her the next move she has in mind, Sana knew that Yuta will be addressing the audience tonight by showing up live in the arena before the show ends; so she decided to standby at the backstage by keeping an eye on her Empire Chief in case something goes wrong despite of the recent bumps and hits her body took during the match, as well as to strive redeeming herself for the loss she took earlier. Transitioning to the scope of the arena where the show is still on air, the crowd was awakened and thrilled for the arrival of the Empire Chief and the current Japan Combat Federation World Champion Yuta Nakamoto when his final-boss like entrance theme played around the arena. He made his way inside the ring in a pace he prefers to allow the crowd to acknowledge and respect his presence in their eyes. As he got what he always wanted whenever he shows up as the main event champion, he starts off his segment with the message he has in store for everyone to hear. "Alright, here's the deal." Yuta said in his microphone, focusing back at the camera filming him after roaming around in the center of the ring. "I'm not here every week anymore.So, everyone's in a while people gonna come here and say some STUPID STUFF." He tightlipped and slightly extended his head forward as he spoke the last words slowly and loudly. "If anyone ever comes out here and say in my face that the face of the company is not me, they're lying." Yuta crumpled his expression at how absurd it is. "If anyone ever comes out here and saya that they're the main event and it's not me, they're lying." He repeated the way he reacted. "And if ever they come out here and say that they are carying this company on their backs..." Yuta stared directly at the camera and went closer. "Kim Jennie, YOU'RE LYING." He looked away and turns his attention again at the crowd. "There's only one who can say all of that with all honesty and truth, and that is your Highness Of The Land and The Empire Chief, Yuta Nakamoto!" He said with intensity in his deep voice. "I told you all many many time and I'm a man of my word! What I say has substance here, so I don't have to say anything face to face to Jennie because she's beneath me-" Yuta didn't get to finish his speech when he glared at the entranceway as the battle theme of Kim Jennie suddenly played to alert everyone on his appearance. "She's here, and I don't think it sits well for the Korean Warrior Kim Jennie!" commentator Knight Yoo says as Jennie trails into the path across the ring where The Empire Chief is standing alone, observing his approach with pure calmness. Jennie mentioned last week that when gasoline was added to the fire, things are going to get hotter and what she's hearing again from Yuta himself tonight is what fuels her adrenaline to put shame on his egotistical enemy on their road to their collision at Clash In The Combat by taking off the title from him. Her entire career she built in this company has been heartfelt and emotional for her and she aims to climax it 2 weeks for tonight at her hometown Seoul, South Korea by doing that. Jennie reaches a mic from a personnel and stands in front of Yuta, eyeing him with seriousness. "Now I would love to say right into your face what you've been saying recently but as you mentioned, you're not really always here anymore so I'm going straight to the point." She stepped closer, inches away from Yuta; furrowing her eyebrows. "I don't think you represent those titles the way they deserve to be represented that you did not deserve to be a champion!" Yuta's head went back and forth as he represented a puzzled look, furrowed cock-eye and stretched lips as he tries to process the critique he just received from an unlikely person. He lowered his sight to see the world title belt wrapped in his waist then glanced back at the stoic Jennie. "I don't deserve it? I don't deserve to be a champion?! After everything I just said, you did not understand-" "YOU DON'T DESERVE IT. YOU HEARD ME!" Jennie snaps. Yuta's lips twitched in the increasing anger inside him. " You want me to tell you why? Let's look at these past couple of years, the wiseman has been serving at you politically, you got the Myouis, the Bloodline; working for you physically and taking bullets for you and sure, when you guys are all together ofcourse... yeah! You're the Bloodline, no one can take down the Bloodline, probably you are in god mode but let me remind you this: YOU'RE.JUST. A. MAN!" Jennie daringly pointed her fingers at Yuta who's giving her death stare filled with impulsive fire beneath those orbs at the continous backlash he's getting. "And right now, I can see something different in your eyes... but it's just you and I. I see fear." Yuta kept on tilting his head to avoid Jennie's long-stayed glare at him as soon as she even went closer. "I see some concern and you should be scared because there's no one that me, Kim Jennie can tear apart with my bare hands." The camera directed at Yuta and Jennie doing a heated stare down at one another, the crowd is feeling the anticipation and intense this match is going to be. At Clash In The Combat, I'm going to tear you apart and I'm going to take that title from you." Yuta choked at Jennie's warning, pursing his lips arrogantly as if he's silently encouraging Jennie to do something impossible. Jennie leaned back when she realized something. "You know what? We're alone tonight, and it seems like a unqiue opportunity since you're here in the arena too, you don't have the Bloodline. I definitely feel like I want a fight here in Nagoya!" Jennie threw the mic out of the ring and most of the crowd began to stand up to witness an impending brawl. Yuta did the same and the two traded hits until Yuta surpassed, luring Jennie into the turnbuckle where she took series of blows around her body. It didn't stopped her from being dominated as Jennie found a sneak spot, hitting Yuta in the kidney then stabbed a knee to his thigh as he stumbled, then she took the turn to give him couple of slaps and chops in his cheek and chest. Jennie stepped back to give herself a momentum once Yuta was left in the center, she ran after and performs a neckbreaker to Yuta. She quickly stood up, eyeing the harmed Yuta clutching the back of his head in pain as he rolled in the turnbuckle. Jennie went to the other side parallel to his and taunted Yuta as she sets herself up to attack Yuta with her Pink Venom rocket kick. The crowd then slowly became loud with their noises as Jennie finally charges towards Yuta but with the additional help by the camera filming the fight, the people watching in their homes also realized that Jennie didn't eventually kicked Yuta... ... but rather he was replaced by Minatozaki Sana who just arrived in the scene, enters the ring and pushes Yuta off to sacrificingly allow herself get kicked instead by Jennie in the face. Distracted, Jennie wasn't ready when Yuta unleashed a superman punch on her. She hold her cheek that went contact with Yuta's fist as she went down in the ring, enabling Yuta to be the one to set himself up this time in the corner while he concerningly and confusingly checked on Sana who saved him. Yuta screams out the beast inside of him as he taunts Jennie but as he was about to deliver a spear to her, Jennie countered it with another Pink Venom but this time it went successfully onto Yuta who gasped at the impact that hit his face. "Jennie is right! Yuta is vulnerable if the Bloodline wasn't here!" Knight Yoo calls as Jennie entertained the hyped crowd as she picks up the world title belt laid at the side of the ring. "Poor Sana took a bullet for Yuta, but Yuta got a Pink Venom as well!" commentator Lee Kwangsoo recapped after. "Will this be the scene at Clash In The Combat as Kim Jennie ends the record setting reign of Yuta Nakamoto? Will this going to be Jennie's night at her own hometown Seoul, South Korea?" Knight laid all the possible questions suited for this match as the show ends with Jennie climbing the turnbuckles as she raised the world title belt with the fans cheering out loud for her. ---------------------------------------------- 1 WEEK LATER / August 29, 2023 Sana just entered The Bloodline locker room and immediately met all the people inside: YN, Mina and Jinyoung all standing up in the corner except for one which is Yuta who is sitting comfortably on his personal chair. "Should I-" "Yeah, you know what to do." Yuta understood what she's about to meant. Sana sat beside him. "So uhm, how's everything going?" Sana asked as she groaned at her stiff body sinking at the softness of the seat. "I'm good. What about you?" "I'm okay, I guess. Gotta be honest though, my jaw still sore a little after last week when remember-" Sana answered but Yuta followed right away, didn't want to hear it specifically. "Yeah, you lost." Yuta changed the topic real quick, sending Sana into an instant shame and guilt for herself. Sana caressed her hair behind and shyly looked at Yuta. "I- I did technically lose, that's true yeah." Yuta smiled. "But sometimes, bad things happen right? So we can redeem ourselves." Sana looked at Yuta surprisingly, recognizing that his words were the exact ones she's thinking about last week. She blushed a bit at how they do kinda shared the same mindset. "T-that's right, that's how I see it too!" Sana looked at The Myouis for a second as she found it impressive. "Well, you think I forgot?" Yuta smirked. Sana bit her lips and forcefully contained a giggle of self-reproach. "By the way, about last week. I was alone." Yuta became serious while he kept on looking at Sana. "I needed somebody to help me out, and I appreciate what you did for me. That's something a family would do." Sana's cheeks are now forming beet red spots at Yuta's touching words. "I'm happy to do it, I really am." Sana nodded along with her charming smile. "I want you to know that you can count on me for anything, really." Yuta interlocked his fingers and sat straight, huffing out an air in relief. "Well, that's good to hear... because I need another favor from you." "Name it." Sana spreaded her arms welcomely. "I need Jennie occupied. I need her distracted, eyes off the ball." "Look, I got a match with her tonight and you could have asked the right person, I'm the master strategist Minatozaki Sana and that's what I do." Sana chuckled as she pointed at herself. "That's what you do. Yup." "I get inside people's head, I make myself comfortable there, I'm throwing out a blanket and I'm doing a picnic while having a little dance~" Sana daydreamed while effortlessly showing her dance move she's talking about, unbeknowst to the rest it was the dance from one of her favorite K-Pop song titled "Mr. Taxi" by Girls Generation. Yuta grinned at Sana's sillyness. "That's the dance you did?" "Yeah, I'm dancing like this in her head!" Sana cheerfully said as she continued pumping up and down her fists and arms while Yuta hilariously pointed her at YN and Mina who's observing her. YN was trying to hold out a laughter in the corner, covering his mouth to repel the noise he nearly made. "She won't know what's what, by the time he gets to Seoul; you're gonna break her in half!" Sana punched her palm. "You got this, it's gonna be a piece of cake! In fact, I was thinking maybe this is something we can do all together right? Like as a unit. The Bloodline, it could be a type of bonding for all of us." "That's sounds good but the thing is, you put The Bloodline out there, you put me The Empire Chief and i'm extremely distracting, it's nice about you. That's what I'm saying." "And you command respect, that's fine." Sana nodded. "You know what, I appreciate the opportunity letting me go out there, do this on my own." Yuta proceeds on agreeing at what Sana say, nodding and grinning back at her. "Thank you, Yuta!" "You have the opportunity to be the main event, I don't take that lightly." Yuta confidently stated. Sana slowly stands up from her seat, looking around at The Bloodline with a satisfied feeling. She went to Mina and the two embraced. "I got this. Thank you again everyone, so much." "Good luck, muse." Mina said to her with a small smile. And when Sana was done on Mina as she tried to invite YN for a hug too, YN's eyes largened for a second before it switches to a squint as his brows furrowed, instead pushing Sana away by pointing her the door way out of the locker room. "Alright then." Sana just accepted YN's cold act and exits out of the room. ----------------- 3 DAYS LATER / August 29, 2023 Their ambush was executed perfectly as they closed Friday Night Knockdown with a brutality when Nakamoto Yuta  along with his cousins Myoui YN and Mina emerges after Sana's loss over Jennie and teams up on the babyface fighter with blended attacks on her. Jennie was squad stomped, smashed by three steel chairs one by one repeatedly, ate a spear from Yuta and double frog splashes by The Myouis respectively and many more until it stopped when Yuta poses for a camera shot along with The Myouis and the recovered Sana behind him as he sat in a steel chair that traps the destroyed Jennie's head and neck beneath. Now at tonight's Monday Night War, the Knockdown-drafted fighters Sana and The Myouis visited the show to address the crowd until they got interrupted by one of the actual War-drafted fighter in the roster Choi Miyeon, clarifying them that this show was never theirs and it has always been hers. Miyeon also reminded them that their cousin slash big boss Yuta still owes her one after they feuded 3 times two years ago at the early days of his reign but all were ended up unsuccessful to her. Sana tried to warn her friend Miyeon to stay out but she refuses. Miyeon walks onto the ring and told YN how she doesn't forget that he and Jinyoung were responsible from preventing her to win the title before. She targeted YN and issued a challenge on him which was booked offically later by Sihyuk to be part of the show. During the match, YN is the top rope, focusing on Miyeon who is laid exhausted on the middle. He did a splash but Miyeon prevented, pushing her both knees up that will block YN's collision to her body. YN grunted in pain and it gave Miyeon time to roll him for a pinfall but he kicked out. Miyeon stood up and superkicked YN in the face then gave another one to Mina after her instincts made her aware of the distraction she's doing by confronting the referee. With the advantage in her hands, Miyeon climbs to the top rope as YN switched positions with her this time and unlike him, she executed a frog splash perfectly and covers him up which sadly didn't work as he still kicked out. Miyeon pulls up YN to get him ready for her finisher called Blow Your Mind which is a stunner, but YN returns to his consciousness and punches Miyeon in the stomach before locked her head and performed a DDT to pause her rate of winning probability. Rolling out of the ring, he meets up with Sana and Mina who are watching on the ringside to support her. YN faced Sana and commanded her. "Get a chair." "What?" "I said, get a chair!" Sana was troubled when YN told her to do so, but with Mina's encouragement by repeating it again with calmness that its part of YN's strrategy to attempt securing a victory for this match made her finally move as she complied by picking up one of the spare steel chairs in the timekeepers area. Mina followed through the plan, intentionally trying to enter the ring which caused the referee to warn her and create a complete distraction, it permitted YN to drag Miyeon's head and press it it on the middle rope to present it on Sana who's holding the chair. "Do it!" YN shouted. Sana started to hesitate, realizing that she's being asked to hit her friend in exchange of helping YN to win. She panickedly looked at him and Mina as she finalizes her choice. "DO IT!!!" Sana was still having second choice, her body is still in a stance where she's about to do it. YN has no other choice but to let go of Miyeon when Mina left the referee to check on the conflicted Sana. "What are you doing?! You're supposed to hit her with a chair!" Mina complained as she talks with Sana who is still occupied because of the state her friend is currently having. "T- the referee has caught us!" Sana excused as nervously saw the referee warning her after seeing her drop the chair near the barricade. "I was distracting the referee! You should've hit her with the chair that's the plan!" Mina argued back at her. "Ask YN he saw w-what happened!" "What are you talking about?!" YN frustratedly loosened his grip on the ropes as he listened and watched Sana and Mina's miscommunication. While two continued to discuss about what happened, YN received a surprise Blow My Mind from Miyeon who already spent enough time to recollect his energy and strike back at YN who got inattentive from the altercation between Sana and Mina. The referee counted and it reached the three, late for Sana to hurriedly end her conversation with Mina as she realized that YN is going to lose by trying to enter the ring and break the pin. Sana was left frozen, speechless and responsible for the mistake as she just stared at Miyeon who is celebrating her victory to the ramp while yelling at her inaudibly that she doesn't froget what Yuta did to her while YN and Mina are glaring at Sana in discontent. --------------------------------------------------- 5 DAYS LATER / September 3, 2023 The first September's Saturday evening is the time set for Japan Fightful Federation to finally held their newly produced fight show Clash In The Combat as it is scheduled to take place outside of Japan: Seoul, South Korea. The Korean fans of the said company were introduced from the match card consisting the event. Some results were satisying, some were not but that didn't stopped everyone from watching and enjoying the shown especially that the last match and the main event for tonight is the most anticipated out of them all. It's Kim Jennie vs. Nakamoto Yuta for the Japan Fightful Federation World Championship. Before the match started, The Myouis and Park Jinyoung who were escorting Yuta  in his entrance were requested by the Empire Chief himself to return at the backstage as he suggested to face Jennie alone. They were hesitatnt at first but listened afterwards, granting Yuta's request by leaving him. Meanwhile, Sana was unable to participate and join them for their side tonight due to an unexpected and untimely fever. Her sickness resulted for her absence and she informed The Bloodline about it, and they were completely fine about it because she deserves to rest for now. Yuta told Sana that he will dedicate this win for her before the call ended, causing Sana to blush weakly in her resting bed at Yuta's heartwarming deed. In the midst of the awesome showdown between these two warriors, Jennie was the one who is leading the competition as she gave punches after punches at the bloody Yuta whose head accidentally bumped on one of the metal shards covering the ringpost. She managed to make Yuta dizzy, so she enveloped Yuta's head and hooked both his arms as she slammed backwards, hitting him for an underhook DDT before she entertained the fans with a kip-up and an encouraging gestures to the fans. Raising her hand up in the air as she went to the corner to set herself up that will bring Yuta to the karma he belongs and send justice to everyone who fell victim in his reign, Jennie counts down as the crowd joined her in support. "3....2....1!" "The end of the reign! PINK VENOM!" Knight exclaimed as Jennie capably knocked out Yuta for greated good with her rocket kick of a finishing move. "We're gronna crown a brand new world champion!" Knight added as the referee began to count own while the Seoul citizens cheered and chanted along with the official. "1...2..-" "AWWWWWWWW!" The Seoul crowd reacted distastefully when they saw the referee got yanked out of the ring by a certain force. The camera focused on this accountable mysterious black clothed figure who eyed down the aching referee in the ringside. "Jennie was going to win when this unknown person just grabbed the referee's leg and throw him out of the ring- OH MY GOD!!!" Jennie lets go of Yuta's leg as she confusedly realized that the referee didn't counted up to three. She rotated her head and witnessed also the face of the person who ruined her moment. "That's- NO WAY- Kwangsoo, t-that's..." The mysterious person finally removes the hood blocking off the face, making a quite loud reaction from the fans. She revealed her identity, Jennie, half of the crowd and the rest of the production team of the company were all familiar at this person that turns out to be a WOMAN staring down with fierce at Jennie. "That is Hirai Momo, The Myoui's younger cousin!" Knight introduces Momo to Kwangsoo and to the other people watching from their TVs about who is she. "The fighting machine, the meanest in the bunch, the federation's developmental program standout, Yuta's cousin and another member of the Nakamoto family is here to cost Jennie the World Championship and help her cousin out!" Knight says as everyone watches Jennie reaches for Momo's hair and pull it towards her, making Momo to hop in the ring but the referee broke up the two while warning both possible disqualification. Not wanting it to happen, Jennie lets go from Momo but as she turns around she was met by an emphatic spear by Yuta. The referee counted to three and it completed. The Seoul crowd booed as the announcer declared Yuta's win and still the Japan Federation World Champion for 700 plus days. Yuta raised the title and presented himself as the defending champ in front of the devastated, saddened and unamused Seoul crowd for the loss of their pick and their very own hometown representative Kim Jennie. Yuta exits the ring and reunites with Momo who's waiting for him. The two both nodded at each other and Yuta smirked at her as they began to walk out of the arena triumphantly after accomplishing two important things to do for tonight: retain the title for The Bloodline and let the people be introduced to the newest addition in their group through a surprise appearance which would serve also as the main roster debut, in the name of Hirai Momo.

The medical personnel abruptly ran through the scene and joins the referee on helping Wonyoung. Whereas it was happening, YN and Mina grabbed the attention of everybody watching by urging them to acknowledge their bloodline through raising their fingers up to the air; creating a divided response from the crowd.  Wonyoung is now being guided by the rescue team on her cautious limping walks. The recently recouped Chaewon was in shock and dismay seeing Wonyoung who has now reach the ramp back into the stage, realizing that her partner is injured. "Wonyoung..." Chaewon mumbled as she gets close onto her partner and friend.

"I'm sorry." That was all Wonyoung had to say before she continues to be escorted out with the personnel while still wincing in pain. Chaewon just nodded understandably and returns her sight at the twins who are now occupying the ring together. YN and Mina began mocking the alone and helpless Chaewon. Mina pointed threatingly at her but that didn't appear to bother Chaewon as she just nodded and gritted her teeth; tunneling up the rage inside of her. "Y'all think I'm done?! I ain't giving up!" Chaewon yelled at them, propelled by retaliation not only what The Myouis did to Sakura but also what they did moreover with Wonyoung.

Chaewon starts to march, YN left the ring only to receive a direct elbow hit. She climbs up to the apron, Mina attacks but Chaewon counters; punching her to the side of the head.  "And now, Chaewon is taking a fight into the Tag Group Champions as she is now fed up with The Myouis' anarchy." commentator Lee Kwang-soo says as they all watched Chaewon enter the ring and blew countless strikes all over Mina's body. She pushes Mina to the ropes and charges at her with a clothesline, making her join YN to the outside.  "Come in here! Let's end this!" Chaewon shouted at the twins gazing at her unbelievably, knowing that they are getting dominated single-handedly at the same time by the same enemy.

YN and Mina won't let the disrespect and humiliation grew, they stood up and prepares theirselves as they traded signal to one another before simulteanously entering the ring again, both attacking Chaewon together who is also trying to do offense here.  A kick to the midsection downs Chaewon on her knees, taken after by steps to her collapsed body. Mina pulls her hair upwards and strengths her to stand back up. YN and Mina extends her arm as it were to catapult her to the turnbuckle in which Chaewon's back collided brutally there. Mina passes the work to YN as she goes to the ringside. Whereas Chaewon is persevering her pain, he prodded the poor fighter by taunting the same fighting pose that her partner Sakura always do to her matches. After doing so, he did their own "We The Ones" motion by lifting his finger up again to the sky; showing to everyone who is running this match and possibly the ones who will end up taking the win.

Only be blindsided by Chaewon with a running knee straight to his confront. "Sakura meant something to Chaewon's career and Oh! A running knee by the upset Chaewon." Knight exclaimed. Mina who saw that attack had her frightened and worried for her twin brother.  The crawling, desperate YN goes for Mina and tags her in. Mina climbs up to the rope in a plan to execute their finisher frog splash.. However, in her astonishment; Chaewon rises up fast and approaches Mina as she climbs to the top too where she began dropping punches and elbows to Mina's side profile.  She positioned her arms to lock Mina's head for a super Antifragile from the top rope until she got diverted when the undisputed World Champion and leader of The Bloodline Yuta Nakamoto's entrance theme suddenly played. All the crowd viewed the stage to wait for the emergence of the Empire Chief.

"Oh my God, super Antifragile by Chaewon to Mina!" Knight said as Chaewon immediately returns her focus back into the match and achievingly damaged Mina.

"...but she's not the legal competitor!"

They both crashed into the ring, Chaewon groaned at her impact of her back's landing to the ring; not even noticing YN who is now on the top rope and delivers a splash to Chaewon.

"YN made a tag, unbeknowst to Chaewon! A splash! Cover to Chaewon!"

The referee began to count as YN pins Chaewon. "1...2...3!"

"The Myouis retains the title!" Knight claimed as the bell rang to the official finish of the match. Most of the crowd were rankled and saddened at the failed opportunity by Chaewon because of the usual dirty strategy again by The Myouis. Clueless to everyone who is watching and attended the show live except for the rest who stayed in their homes, the camera switches to the audio and technical room where Minatozaki Sana became surprised not because of The Myouis' triumph, but to what she actually did.  "Oh my God... i-it worked! IT WORKED HAHAHAHAHA!" Sana cheerfully celebrates as she giggles while jumping and tugging the staff who is in charge of controlling the sounds of the show, sitting on his chair looking at Sana strangely

Sana rushes out of the backstage and greets The Myouis holding their title as they are heading out of the arena. "YOU GUYS DID IT! MY TRICK WORKED! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU TWO!" She hugged YN tightly who was stunned at the Honorary Muse's actions. As she lets go from him to continue teasing the defeated Chaewon from the separate, YN glances at Sana as he felt confusingly fluttered from the contact. Sana joined The Myouis from behind as they depart, only to become unaware at the infuriated Chaewon's attack as she ran straight through the trio, pushing them and switching to Sana who she started repeatedly hitting her head.

YN saw what Chaewon is doing and in an instant, he moved and took attention as both were now attacking each other. The referee came out to seperate both sides and break the brawl.

"Chaewon is ticked off and you can't blame her for that. The emotions are just pouring out of her body right now." Knight Yoo comments on what Chaewon has been going through these days.

This rivalry has been personal and important for her and she would definitely not letting it go that easily.

------------------

1 MONTH AND 2 DAYS LATER | August 5, 2023

Sana's service with The Bloodline briefly halted for a month as they both focused on their respective tasks to do. Yuta was introduced to his next challenger after Chaewon targeted him next, challenging him for a World Championship match.  The two fought and eventually, Nakamoto remained undefeated for the title as he beats Chaewon clean. As he urges the swarm to acknowledge his continous greatness along with his cousins YN and Mina, the entrance theme of one of his long-time rivals and previous challenger last March at the company's biggest pay-per-view event Battleground of Madness which their final feud together led to their match in August's scheduled event SuperSlam with the stipulation being a Last Man Standing match. Yuta retains the title which finally concluded their feud for good.

Meanwhile, Sana was added to the line-up of participants that will fight in an 8-person ladder match to determine the winner who will have a year-length opportunity to freely use his/her advantage on adding himself/herself to a match with one of the 3 individual titles in the company at stake. Unfortunately, she was one of the fighters who lost in the match.

After the August's annual SuperSlam PPV ended, they were now able cross roads together and get back on track. Sana didn't wasted any more time as she reaches the front of The Bloodline's locker room. Cautiously knocked, she was greeted by the serious-faced YN staring at her in the face which made Sana flinched. He was followed by Mina who greeted the Honorary Muse in contrast to YN's.

"Hi, sorry. I have a terrible reception in the building. I didn't know if you guys received my message or not. I forgot to bring my phone-"

"No. It's fine, muse. In fact, I was about to text you back." Mina assured Sana.

"Oh perfect timing." Sana exhaled, shoulder fell in relief. Mina smiled while YN rubbed his face ridiculously.

"Hey, we need a favor."

"Sure, what is it?"

"Usually, when the wiseman is here. He is the one who handles things. He's in the production truck, making sure the music's good, the graphic's good, the power's good, just to make Yuta's entrance perfect." Mina enumerates while pouncing her fist on her other open palm.

"Okay." “But you know what he went through, right?” Mina said, referring to Jinyoung’s fate last week at the hands of Yuta’s opponent when he got smashed into the announce table after he tried to interfere and be the root of Yuta’s challenger’s doom which ended up backfired, costing his ribs to become severly bruised. “Oh yeah, right. Wait, how is he?” Sana asked considerately. “He’s resting. We got someone in the hospital to watch over him.” Mina updated,  effectively making Sana diminished. "Well, back from what I said... can you do that for us tonight?"

Sana snorted. "Are you serious?"

"Yeah" Mina nodded, stating that she's honestly sincere with her request. YN on the other hand was staring deeply at Sana.

"B-but... that's not really my job?" Sana complained. YN's forehead crumpled and straightened his stance. Mina just chuckled at Sana's confusion.

"I mean I'm the Honorary Muse but..."

"Sana, hey." Mina patted Sana in the shoulder. "It will meant a lot to Yuta." She smiled.

Sana looked at Mina and gone silent for a moment before she sighed and shortly smiled at Mina. "Alright, okay. I will."

They both nodded at each other trustedly before Sana leaves, with The Myouis watching her walk away but still having complete opposite emotions visible in their face as Mina remained calm while YN is annoyed.

------------------

Few minutes later, Sana returns to the The Bloodline locker room as she knocked again and gets received by The Myouis a bit faster than earlier.

"Hey, okay. It's all taken care of. I went to the production truck. Graphics are set, pyros are great. I even almost had a fight with someone. It's the whole thing but this isn't important so... hey listen. I have to talk to Yuta now before he goes out there." Sana persuaded while she does hand gestures to emphasize her eagerness and rush.

However, Mina gave her an apologetic look. "Look, muse. That ain't gonna happen."

"Oh come on, are you kidding me?!" Sana began supressing her stress. "You guys just given me the runaround tonight. Am I really a part of this group?!"

"I just-" Mina tried to calm down Sana but the frustration building up inside Sana is what making her to be uncontrollable.

"Guys, am I not the Honorary Muse?"

Suddenly, Mina and Sana both were taken aback when YN triggeredly turns his head around to look at Sana angrily.

"YOU WANT THE TRUTH, SANA?! THE BLOODLINE LEVELED UP AT SUPERSLAM! IT BROUGHT ME 2 TITLES, MYOUIS HAVE 4 TITLES AND IF YOU DON'T START PULLING YOUR WEIGHT AROUND HERE, MUSE. YOU GOT TO LEAVE THE GROUP REAL SOON!"

Sana was left speechless and intimidated by YN's aggressiveness and rant. He immediately left, followed by Mina who only clicked her tongue and tightlipped for the guilty woman.

1 WEEK LATER | August 12, 2023

After what happened last week, Sana tried to ease things off with The Myouis especially YN himself who became clearly mad at her antics for being too resistant at their orders.

She walks up to their locker room and hesitated for second to knock as she prepared herself one more before she actually did it. The door opened and just like last week, YN and Mina answered the call.

"Guys, guys. Hey, I've gone through a lot of thinking and... everything you guys said about last week, you were right."

Mina cupped her chin as she listened attentively while YN bowed his head and avoid Sana's look in guilt after remembering what he said last week, knowing that Sana is definitely pertruding mostly for him.

"You guys are right about-"

Sana got interrupted on her statement as the agitated Kim Jennie made a surprise appearance in the scene, tackling both Mina and YN aside.

Jennie grabbed Mina's collar and threw her to the wall. She then held YN's head and repeatedly dribbled it onto one of the extra tables around the hallway as Sana kept shouting for help and for Jennie to stop.

It was no effect for Jennie as she continued attacking YN, repeatedly punching and slapping him all around his face and head before she ended it with a push to the wall as what she did to Mina.

Sana ran away and watched the mess worriedly and terrified at the same time. Jennie crouches between the assualted bodies of YN and Mina on the floor.

"Every single week you two gets involved, I'M GOING TO BEAT YOUR ASSES YOU HEAR ME?!" Jennie grunted as she referred to what happened to her last week when she was confronting Yuta Nakamoto and The Myouis until a surprise attack unleashed to her by a returning fighter in the company who possesses dark persona named Bae Irene. She decided to include Irene on her next victims alongside The Bloodline.

"Oh, Sana... where are you~" Jennie abandons the suffering Myouis and proceeded to walk away while in hunt for Sana who already disappeared.

-----------------

About 20 minutes has passed and Sana is still roaming the backstage while unobnoxiously monitoring the sight around in case Jennie is around and possibly caught her.

Walking around back and forth while still thinking concernly about the twins, it turned into a coincidence when right on the time The Myouis approached her with their titles.

"Thank God." Sana was about to check up on them but then Mina cuts her off looking sarcastically unimpressed.

"Damn, you're such a trackstar aren't you?" Mina scoffed.

"You slipped again." YN said as his lips twitched.

"Where did you run off to?" Mina asked her quizzically.

"No! I wasn't going anywhere, I wasn't trying to call the security-"

"Security?"

"I wasn trying to get him kicked out of the building-" As Sana proceeds to defend herself by all of her reasonings, YN impatiently crosstalked into them to interrogate Sana further.

"Enough with the excuses, Sana!" YN irritatedly remarked.

"Wait, hear me out-"

"I told you last week that if you don't step up, YOU'LL BE LEFT BEHIND!" YN barked. Sana went quiet as she takes another scolding from one half of the Tag Champs.

"MINA! Let's go call Jennie into the ring." YN commanded his twin before leaving, entirely done on arguing with Sana as she has a much important business to do tonight.

--------------------

The Myouis were granted to strike back on Kim Jennie as they were placed by general manager Bang Sihyuk into a non-title tag team match to end the show's episode.

The assigned partner for Jennie got hooked by YN onto the barricade which led both crashing into the timekeepers area while Jennie and Mina were left in the ring.

Mina saw what happened to her sibling. She returns her attention back on Jennie who is slowly getting up on her feet, about to carry her in a shoulder drop but Jennie counters, rotating Mina around and deliver a headbutt to her forehead.

Mina stumbles to the ropes in dizzyness but quickly recovers as she aimed at Jennie face for a superkick. Jennie stepped backwards until she caught of the rope, using it to catapult herself to Mina who was about to charge on her. She bows down to avoid her hit and ran to another rope as she finally hit a deadly rocket kick to Mina.

The hyped crowd chants along to the referee's count as the unconscious Mina was pinned by Jennie to the victory. The announcer declared the win for Jennie and her partner.

Sana who was watching in the ringside to support the Myouis, disappointingly watched Jennie celebrate with the fans. As they eyes met, Jennie smirked and stared intently at Sana who seems to already understand what that look means.

She steps back and tries to calm down Jennie but was distracted by the sudden spin of her body from behind by YN who instead got caught by Jennie's fast instinct, hitting him with a underhook DDT.

While YN painfully clutches his head, Jennie performed a kip-up and went to the corner of the ring; feeding up the energy of the crowd cheering for her. She began counting down as they joined her.

"3...2...1...!"

She fires another rocket kick, but Jennie realizes that the person was not YN who got knocked down in the ring.

"Minatozaki Sana has took a bullet for the Bloodline! She pushed YN out of the way only for a rocket kick to be taken by the Honorary Muse herself!"

The Myouis exhaustedly reconciled with their titles on their shoulder as they viewed Jennie eyeing them down along with her partner in the ring.

"Tell your boss that Kim Jennie is coming for her. That's just the beginning." Jennie mutters and grinned at the sight of the badly beaten tag champs as the show comes to an end.

1 WEEK LATER | August 19, 2022

"You said you wanted to see me, Empire Chief."

The camera pans on Yuta Nakamoto who is peacefully sitting on his couch after he saw Sana open the door and greets him with addition of acknowledging him as usual.

"Yeah, take a seat." He touched the empty space beside him.

"Okay, alright. Thanks." Sana sat with him.

"How's everything going?" Yuta asked as he glanced at her.

"Good. The Bloodline has been very good as of late but well... it's not actually entirely true." Sana clenched her teeth, afraid that Yuta might not like her words of choosing but the latter was just listening at her deeply.

"If i'm being honest, it's complicated."

"How do you say so?" Yuta inquired.

"Well, these past few weeks I've been getting it with YN a lot." Sana explained, her face is showing clear confusion.

"YN?"

"Yeah. He's like... he's on me, Yuta." Sana pointed at herself. The Empire Chief is in deep thoughts as he kept listening while not paying a look on the troubled lady.

"A couple of weeks ago, he was really going to tell me. He always yells at me with these 'you have to keep up' thing blah blah blah. He's acting like as if I'm not carrying my weight around here which is pretty annoying when in fact, he was about to get rocket kicked by Jennie but I slid in and I pushed him away. I took a rocket kick in the face for him, for the Bloodline!" Her tone gets more intense and aggressive the longer she speaks.

"Did he ever gave me a call, a text? No. And I hate it. He's so ungrateful." Sana rolled her eyes while slapping her thighs in annoyance. She became tensed when she noticed that Yuta glanced and stared at her.

Yuta furrowed his eyebrows and pursed his lips. Sana gulped and rubbed her lips in anticipation for his response.

"You know what..."

Sana stared at him.

"You're right." His expression lightened.

"Yeah?"

He nodded. "I've been saying that a lot to him too, he doesn't appreciate."

"He doesn't appreciate anything!" Sana agreed. "Thank you!"

"He's my blood, okay. I love him." Yuta chuckled at Sana's relieved laugh. "Why are you talking to him then, by the way? You should talk to Mina instead. Not at me, okay?"

"O-okay, but I just wanted to tell this at you too."

"Uhh wait for a while here, Sana okay? Stay there." Yuta said as he excused himself for a while.

"Sure, take your time Yuta. I will be right here." Sana replied as she carressed the texture of the couch relaxingly while Yuta stood up and went to to the restroom first.

While she's waiting for Yuta to finish his break, Sana sensed an incoming phone call from Yuta's phone placed along with his World Title on a circular glass table.

She took a peek and saw YN's profile. "Uhh Yuta, your phone is ringing."

"Mine?"

"Yeah." Sana said as she grabbed the phone.

"Who is it?"

"YN." She gritted her teeth in nervousness.

"Answer it for me, please." Yuta echoed his request.

"Uhh okay." Sana huffed in the air before swiping the screen at the green button to accept the call. Putting the phone in her ear, she greeted YN only to receive a typical grumpy welcome from him.

"Yes, just don't scream okay? I will tell him." Sana said as she slightly distances Yuta phone away from her ear. "If i'm being honest, now is not the good time."

She nodded after YN's response to what she told him. "I'll take care of it. Yeah, bye."

Just in time as she ended the call, Yuta exits from the restroom. "He is screaming I can't even understand what he's saying." Sana hilariously reacted.

"Sorry."

"No, it's fine." Sana sweeps it off, assuring him.

"What did he say?"

"He was like, we're trouble at the border which I think they're implying that they're not gonna be here tonight."

Yuta sighed and lowered his head disapprovingly.

"But you know what? I'm here." Sana spreaded her arms, lending her invitation of willingness to be on duty to serve and protect the Empire Chief and The Bloodline like she has to do as always.

Yuta tilted his head at Sana then grinned. "Yeah... you are."

The Honorary Muse was delighted at his approval, recognizing her presence of assistance on their side.

"Well actually, I'm scheduled for a fatal five way contenders match for the Intercontinental Championship." Sana braggingly reported to Yuta as she remembered her main goal for tonight.

"Really?"

"Yup."

"But that won't be a problem, in case if you need me. I'll be there still." Sana assures.

Yuta impressively nodded and smiled at Sana's eagerness and wiseful deed.

"I see... a title huh." Yuta smirked at the vision formed in his mind. "You know, that would be a great addition for the Bloodline."

Sana gasped and beamed at Yuta's message of encouragement for her to take that title and help them include it in their collection of achievements.

"Right?!"

"I guess you're the one to do it."

"I am the one!" Sana became pumped up and enthusiastic. "Okay, so what am I doing here?"

"Yeah, what are you still doing here?" Yuta joined Sana's flow, humorously asking her back.

"I'm gonna go out now, get warmed up and take care of this." Sana assuringly said, tapping Yuta's arm. "Hey, you know what? We should this do this often. This is great!"

Yuta looked away and reconsidered that idea, squinting his eyes.

"Okay, good talk! I'm heading out, Chief!" Sana bids goodbye as she stood from her seat and went to the door.
