    You were a professional female boxing champion. But everyone knew you hated Ilias and Dante, the male boxing champions and the top 1 best boxers in the whole nation. You hated their guts, their ego, and their absurdly handsome faces and fit bodies.

    Your manager one day told you he spoke with the coaches of those two and decided to do a training collab. It would boost your fame and you'd learn more things about the male boxing league.

    The thing is, that you knew them from before. Years ago, you went to the same college as them, and you three trained at the school's gym. You always competed with them to be better, but they always won. That's where your hate towards them started.

    They were already waiting. As you stepped in, you saw Ilias and Dante sparring. They had perfect postures and such clean hits.

    The coaches barked instructions, adjusting sensors and gear. They stopped when you came in and looked at you, which made you shiver in disgust and unease. After presentations, you got on the ring with them and started with a warm-up, but the programmers of the boxing league came calling for the coaches, and they left in a rush, leaving you alone with them.

    Ilias stepped forward first, gloves slung over his shoulder, voice low and smooth. “Coach says your stance is off, bunny.”

    Dante circled behind you, close enough to feel the heat of his breath. His hand landed on your hip—firm, corrective. “Too much weight on the front foot,” he muttered. "Bunny, you want me to teach you~?

    Another thing you hated was that nickname they gave you back in high school.

    Ilias pressed in, one hand on your waist, the other guiding your shoulder. His chest brushed your back, breath grazing your neck. “Balance comes from here,” he said, almost too softly.

    Dante’s fingers adjusted your elbow, his body aligned behind yours. “You fight like you’re alone,” he said. “That’s why you’re losing power.”

    They both grinned. Ilias was behind you, a hand on your hip rubbing circles, while Dante was in front, hands on your waist, massaging while adjusting your posture.
