Their seats were down on the floor, right in front of the ring: the most expensive and the most exclusive. Jungkook explained her the simple rules of sumo: first to fall out of the ring or touch the ground with any part of his body other than the soles of his feet would lose.

"I already knew that information, Mr. Jeon Jungkook. I have watched a match on television before, just so you know." She said, smiling sarcastically.

Jungkook just laughed, then turned to watch the current fight. There's already a fight on the ring when they entered.

Meanwhile, Chaeyoung turned her head to Jungkook instead. He was holding her hand from the time they took off from the train till now.

She tried to drop a joke at him and said, "Why don't you accompany me inside the girl's restroom later too since you are like a sticky glue on my hand?" Jungkook just ignored her comments and acted more loving and caring.

Chaeyoung sighed deeply and just stared at Jungkook lovingly.

"I know it's better to watch this handsome and sexy boyfriend of yours than those blubber men fighting on the ring." Jungkook suddenly murmured as he noticed that Chaeyoung was staring at him for quite some time now, instead of watching the sumo wrestlers.

"You are such a big-headed guy, aren't you?" She murmured as she turned her head to the sumo wrestlers while pouting her lips.

"Ohhh..." Chaeyoung gasped in daze together with the crowd when a wrestler fell out of the ring in just seconds. "That was fast," she murmured.

Jungkook couldn't help and whisper to her ear, "But not as fast as Jeon Jungkook right?" He raised and rubbed their clasping hand to his cheek then kissed her hand. Chaeyoung just made a face at him, and Jungkook laughed.

Then, a man entered the ring and announced the names of the next two wrestlers. Those sumo wrestlers entered the ring, looked each other in the eye, then turned to their corners of the ring and squatted. They both raised one leg, and then slammed it back down on the ground, followed by the other leg. They were intimidating each other.

"Wow! That was impressive!" Chaeyoung exclaimed with wide eyes. It was like an enacted pre-competition ritual when new wrestlers stepped into the ring.

Jungkook smiled as he looked at her. Chaeyoung was so cute in his eyes, and he just loved how she was openly expressing herself.

That time the match went long, generating huge waves of excitement, as they watched two wrestlers attempt to push each other over.

"Bouts can be won or lost in a matter of seconds, although some matches go in for a minute or more like this," Jungkook commented. Chaeyoung just nodded, with her eyes still fixed on the current fight.

"Ohhhhh..." Another reaction was heard from Chaeyoung and the crowd.

Jungkook laughed silently when he watched different expressions plastering Chaeyoung's face while she intently watched the current fight. She was even biting her nails? Jungkook shook his head. His girlfriend was definitely extraordinary.

The crowd was funny, with everyone shouting out and even laughing when the sumo wrestlers got pushed out in each match. There were some obvious favorites among the sumo wrestlers because when they all came onto the ring at the end of their time slot, some people were cheered a lot more than others.

After about an hour and a half of watching, Jungkook suddenly whispered to her ear, "Let's get out now. This is no fun anymore. It's just two, fat, sweaty guys fighting all over again. Let's go and explore more places."

Chaeyoung laughed at his comments. It was actually quite a funny cultural experience, but she agreed with Jungkook to leave because she thought that watching sumo for an hour or two was already enough.

They had a tourist guide, who assisted them the whole day.

Jungkook wanted to take a picture of them together, but Chaeyoung strongly refused, telling that she hated taking pictures as they usually spoil the tour by consuming extra time.

But in reality, it was the first thing James warned her to be cautious about. They didn't want Jungkook to have a photo with her, because it would only make things difficult for her and she would not be able to hide from him afterward.

Her consistent refusals made Jungkook snappy. He was frowning most of the time. He even tried to take secret photos of her, but they ended up being blurry or just a side or back views.

Chaeyoung laughed and just appeased him by being extra sweet. This time she initiated the holding of hands the entire time. She cuddled him every now and then as they walked. She even gave him unexpected kisses just to divert his attention.

Jungkook seemed to be pleased by it and did not insist on taking a picture together anymore.
