Late Night Truces
*Content warning: some violence and language*Lee Park’s first thought when he discovers his childhood rival has a cousin is far from polite.Shit. There’s more of ‘em?The Tri-State Martial Arts Tournament had pitted him against newcomer, Chiyo Hamada, for his third match and while a fist to the face might not be the most formal of introductions, he can’t say he wasn’t the slightest bit impressed by her strength.She knew how to pack a punch. How to properly generate the right amount of torque with every meticulous swerve of her hips. There was something vaguely familiar about her technique and a...

But, taking into account that neither of them knew the other, and they were in a very similar occasion one would think that is quite special.
