Hye In POV
"Can I join the battle ? " I heard JHope said . My eyes widened when I heard him say that . "What ?! " BTS suddenly said in unison .
" Hyung !! You are not crazy , are you ? " Jungkook suddenly asked . Jimin then spoke up " No .. He is not . Besides he used to dance underground before ...excpt it was not illegal . "
" I dont think you can't too . " I side with Jungkook , I fold my arms together " Even if you had experience in underground . This illegal one is different . You need to have money . "
"Money ? " Jhope raised his eyebrows . " You need money . Every dancer who wants to battle had to pay the admission fee , then you need put in money as your bet . Battle it out for , winner takes it all . The least , you must have is $500 to make a bet . "
Jhope frowned , " Really ..? I don't have that kind of money ... " . I want to help him but I can't , its the rules from the start even if this is a fighting ring . Even Jimin looked kinda of down .
Suddenly . I thought of something . " What if help you . I borrow you $500 . " . Jhope then shake his head , " I can't ! How am I suppose to pay you back ?! " he looked at me . I smirked " It's simple . Just win the battle . Since winner takes it all , if you win you can take all the bet . If you lose , not only the money will be given to your opponent . You owe me $500 . Deal ? "
" You mean all Jhope has to do is to win the battle , he can have the $500 and the opponents money ? " Jin clarifed . I nod and look at Jhope . He then look at Bangtan and back at me "Okay . "

Jhope POV
I took a deep breath as I step on the stage . ' I have to win ! ' I whispered in my head . The money is on the line, I can't waste the money that Hye In is willing to borrow me . 'Jimin is looking at me as a dance expert . Can't let him down . ' I close my eyes , take another breath and look at my opponent .
Seo Jungha , a popping and krumping expert . I reconisge him , he saw him dance before 3 years ago in another underground battle . He then smiled at me " Oh my ! If it isn't Jung Hoseok ! Look like this is gonna be a fun battle . Didn't know you do illegal dancing " . "You know me ? " I asked . " Of course ! Who wouldn't ? As long there's someone who is doing popping , I do know them ! " he then change his tone " Even the weak ones . " he smirked at me .
I don't like that tone , he makes me pissed . As the music starts , he was in the lead . He started krumping from his shoulders to his legs . Then , he starts popping from his legs to the hips , following the flow of the music . Then , its my turn . I start popping from my elbow to legs , then I switch to b-boy . Immediately , I change to krumping and ending it by letting myself bend down backwards and fall to the ground .
When it was his turn , he tried to do a flip but accidentally fall on his butt . The whole crowd start booing . Then , I realise there was a screen above the ring . Suddenly , my name appeared on the screen . WINNER JHOPE .
I stop and stared at my name on the screen . I heard Bangtan shouting my name . I won . Jungha stood up and glared at me . I smirked at him , "Even experts can be dampened . " I turned around and walked down the stage . Suddenly , I heard Jimin shouting at me "Hyung !!! Behind you !!! "

Yeon Ri POV
I watched Jhope danced . He is really good , I can see the smile on Jimin's face since the beginning . When Jhope's name came out on the screen , Jimin started jumping around and hug me . He suddenly let go of me . We looked at each other then looked away , we blushed . So awkward . He rub his neck , " Sorry ... "
I smiled " It's ok . " Soo Jae pulled my sleeves " Let's go down and congratulate him !!! " All of us run down except Hye In , we didn't know where she went . I followed Jimin from behind as I saw Jhope walking down the stage . Suddenly , I saw Jungha holding his fist in the air while running towards Jhope . Jimin then started screaming " Hyung !!!!! Behind you !! " .
Jhope then turn behind and look . I started sprinting towards him , to protect Jhope . I manage to grab Jhope's hand and pulled him away to shield him . I waited for the pain from Jungha's punch but there was none . I turned behind and looked. Hye In pinned him down .
" Even if this place is an illegal , there are no violence when I'm around . " Hye In warned and let him go . Jungha then gave Jhope a death glare and walk away .
" Erm... Yeon Ri . You can let go of me now .. " Jhope then whispered loudly at me . I immediately let go my arms " Sorry !" . He pat my head , " It's ok ! You saved me ! Hye In too . " . Hye In let out a sighed , " Go home . Here's your money . " she handed Jhope the money .
Bangtan stared in shock at all the money . Jhope started counting " $1700 !!!!" He shouted in shocked . Hye In rolled her eyes " Stop being so noisy . " . " That's a lot ..." Namjoon looked at the money . Jhope then took out $500 and gave it to Hye In . "Here . Take it . " . Hye In shakes her head " No . You won . Keep it . " . Jhope keep insisting " No . I don't want to owe you . Not only you borrowed me money , you saved me . "
I looked at Hye In , she knows if she doesn't accept the money , it will be troublesome . "Fine . " she finally gave in .
After that , all of us went back home except Hye In cause she has to operate the stadium.
