The gym fell silent as taejoon and Han faced off, their competitive energy palpable. Without a word, they nodded to each other and began to lift weights, each trying to outdo the other. The weights clanged and grunted as they pushed themselves to their limits.
Jace and Kai watched in awe, cheering them on. "Whoa, they're really going at it!" Jace exclaimed.
Kai nodded. " It's about time they had a showdown."
As the competition intensified, taejoon and Han began to sweat, their muscles straining with effort. The gym patrons gathered around, drawn in by the electric atmosphere.
Just when it seemed like han was about to emerge victorious, taejoon pulled off an impressive feat, lifting a heavy barbell with ease. The crowd gasped in amazement.
Han eyes narrowed. "You think you can beat me?" he said, gritting his teeth.
Taejoon smirked. "I'm just getting started."
The competition continued, with neither side willing to concede. But in the end, taejoon emerged victorious, lifting the heaviest weight of all. The crowd erupted in cheers as taejoon raised his arms in triumph.
Han grinned, impressed despite himself. "You win this time, Han," he said, extending his hand.
Taejoon shook it, a smile on his face. "Rematch?" he suggested.
Han nodded. "You're on."
As Han and taejoon shook hands, the tension between them dissipated, replaced by a sense of mutual respect. Jace and Kai approached them, grinning.
"Nice work, taejoon," Lorenzo said, clapping him on the back. "I didn't think anyone could outlift Han."
Taejoon chuckled. "I've been practicing. Besides, someone's got to keep IDOL'S in check."
Han rolled his eyes good-naturedly. "Yeah, yeah. Rematch, soon."
The four of them walked out of the gym together, discussing their next workout plans. As they stepped outside, Han's phone buzzed. He glanced at the screen and frowned.
"What's wrong?" Kai asked, noticing Han's expression.
Han hesitated before responding. "It's nothing. Just some family stuff."
Jace nodded understandingly. "If you need to talk about it, we're here."
Han smiled slightly. "Thanks, man. I appreciate it."
