There is always someone in your vicinity who uses violence to justify their cause and succeeds in doing so. As absolute strength needs no further excuse, they can do that. Taehun is just like that, he never pulls back his punch and always follows through with his actions.
Absolute domination through fear and inflicting humiliation is his modus operandi.
Taehun, with his viciousness, took such steps going forward which conflicted with human morals.
In this 7th episode of Viral Hit, we will see a showdown between that vicious Taehun and the protagonist(Hobin) and its preparatory phase.
Previously…
Previously, in the 6th episode of Viral Hit, Pakgo was finally out of their hair, so Hobin and Snapper started to think about growing their New Tube channel further.
There was an obstacle in their path to success.
Both of them lacked the skill to edit a video.
“ding”
Hence, they started their search for a video editor.
After going through the requests of many applicants, they finally found out, that one of their faithful viewers is skilled in video editing.
That person’s handle name is “ding” and according to the speech pattern, he is an old man.
A reluctant Snapper agreed to interview “ding” as Hobin forced him.
Upon meeting, they realized that “ding” is a she, not a he, and a cute junior of them.
Her name was Gaeul.
Taehun
After completion of the team, they set their next target to the renowned bully and a Taekwondo expert, Taehun.
He was also a disqualified MMA fighter of the new “MAX” leagues.
Snapper went to research on Taehun and called Hobin as he feared getting caught.
What Snapper feared happened, along with Hobin and Gaeul was caught by Taehun.
Taehun following his nature started torturing Snapper and demanded their New Tube channel “kenkadokugaku”.
Next…
Taehun was beating Snapper black and blue and was demanding Hobin’s New Tube channel again and again.
Pressurized by the situation, Hobin promised to give his New Tube channel to Taehun.
His strategy was to show his lack of backbone to reduce Taehun’s fun of torturing, as Taehun was doing that out of fun only.
It worked as he stopped torturing Snapper after he slapped Hobin out of frustration.
Snapper’s regret
Later, he had to admit Snapper to a hospital due to his fractured ribs.
In the hospital, Hobin and Snapper had a conversation about Hobin’s willingness to surrender the New Tube channel.
He further said he was not expecting that action from him as he had seen him perform miracles by fending off Pakgo.
But, Honbin was adamant about his decision.
Later Gaeul comes to visit Snapper, but he sends her away as he is embarrassed enough in front of her who is his crush.
Snapper wept in secret.
This reminded Hobin of the humiliation he faced from Pakgo in front of his crush Bomi.
Challenge
Hobin decided to take matters into their own hands.
Hobin visited Taehun at a game center defeated him in a fighting game and mocked him regarding the outcome.
He went there with the excuse of handing his New Tube channel over to him, but he changed his approach.
He challenged Taehun in a fight after one month of betting on his New Tube channel.
At first, Taehun doesn’t agree to the terms, but after Hobin incites him by asking if he is afraid of fighting him, Taehun immediately agrees.
Training
Hobin started to watch the video of the “chicken man” of the fight tutorial New Tube channel he followed to know the ways to fight the Taekwondo expert Taehun and the training method.
At first, he was sad knowing that, in a fair match he couldn’t win.
But was hopeful again, when he knew, in a brawl, some variables could up his chance to win.
One of them was less ground clearance of grip of the foot.
So he decided to fight Taehun on a rainy day in a narrow alleyway.
In the first phase of the training, he had to revise his already learned skills calf-kick and overhead punch.
In the second phase, he had to learn how to tackle underwater, as in wrestling tackle. This increased his endurance.
In the third phase, he had to do sit-ups with weights and had to hang from a bar, to increase his core strength.
The fight
Slippery ground was of advantage to him, he followed the weather forecast and decided the fight date on a rainy day.
It was his bad luck, the weather report was wrong and there would be no rain.
At first, he decided to run away, but later changed his mind as well as the location of the fight.
He selected a public toilet where Taehun was, splashed water all over the floor, and started fighting.
He was hopeful at first in vain as Taehun was beating him repeatedly despite the floor being slippery.
Hobin was able to hold on because he was wearing marine shoes with a good grip.
Then, he made a do-or-die attempt to tackle Taehun with no success.
Finally, he came back to basics and used a calf-kick which worked a little.
Now, what will happen next? How will Taehun react and what will Hobin use to his advantage?
To know all these, stay tuned for the next episode…
