How to win a big fight, was the question Hobin was asking himself, while facing Taehun. It is Viral Hit Episode 8, and Hobin is facing the biggest danger that he has faced until now.
Yes, he may have beaten Pakgo the school bully, for good.
However, that doesn’t mean he became an expert in fighting overnight.
He had only one month to prepare for his fight with Taehun, which wasn’t enough, as he was facing a pro.
Previously…
In the previous episode, Hobin took one month to train for his fight against Taekwondo expert bully Taehun.
He was waiting for the rain, as that was the only way to seal Taehun’s most dangerous leg moves.
The rain didn’t come and he was about to run away, but he didn’t and came back to fight.
He used his wit to overcome the difference and started the fight only to get beaten.
Using the slippery floor was his strategy, which was nothing compared to the long experience of Taehun.
But due to Hobin’s marine shoes with good grip, he did hold on and launched the blow, he was waiting to deliver.
The next half of the fight will happen in Viral Hit Episode 8.
Next in Viral Hit Episode 8
Our boy Hobin had to win the big fight, otherwise, his integrity would be questioned by his viewers.
He had to also win because not only was his New Tube channel was in stake but he also had to heal his and Snapper’s hurt ego.
That’s why he was more desperate than ever and tried to hit the target with his all.
However, one Luckey hit was all, he managed to deliver, that also in the first half of the fight.
In Viral Hit Episode 8, viewers saw him getting beaten repeatedly by Taehun, helplessly.
Taehun was simply sliding around, beating him, every time Hobin tried to dodge.
But, all of his attacks were using fists, so Hobin took less damage and had chances to deliver some effective calf kicks.
Retaliation
Now as Viral Hit Episode 8 progresses, Hobin got the hang of it and retaliated landing his calf kicks shouting “calf kick”, while getting hit in the face at every turn.
Sapper wasn’t getting the reason, why Hobin was doing the same attack repeatedly while shouting the attack name like some Shonen manga protagonist.
Now pay attention, the important part of Viral Hit Episode 8 will start now.
He was shouting the name of the attack intentionally, to keep Taehun distracted from what was about to come next.
You, who have watched Hobin’s training in the previous episode can guess what move he was about to deliver.
Yes, you guessed right, it’s a tackle.
He distracted Taehun by calling a “calf kick” while attacking him with a successful double-leg tackle.
He then proceeds to choke him with a Cross-choke but in a hurry and anxious state, forgets to secure Taehun’s legs.
This mistake did cost him a great deal, as Taehun used his skill to come free while hitting him.
Tricked and Beaten
Taehun had already predicted the move of Hobin and gave in intentionally to get the marine shoes with a good grip from Hobin.
He beat him and managed to get one shoe from the pair Hobin was wearing, it was of the right foot.
Now, as he got a good grip on one of his feet, his skill to kick was unlocked.
Unlocking the most powerful skill, he became almost invincible against Hobin.
On the other hand, Hobin’s angry crush Bomi was watching him fight with Munseong.
She was angry because he had been out of touch with her since their first date.
He was ashamed and to know why, you have to know, what happened in Episode 4.
Now back to the fight in Viral Hit Episode 8, Mr. Chickenhead’s advice was playing in his head.
The advice was to run away if the Taekwondo user could use their legs freely.
Taehun started to blast some solid kicks making Hobin’s head go blank.
He repeatedly delivered the same attacks with different variations for some time, making him nearly pass out.
Rising from Rubble
Sure of his win, Taehun went to claim his prize, Hobin’s New Tube channel.
However, Hobin wasn’t done, Viral Hit Episode 8 has yet to show us Hobin’s final struggle.
Hobin rose from the rubble of shame and helplessness.
Something more than money and his channel was at stake, it was his honor.
He readied himself for another fight, another struggle, and one last chance to win.
Hobin positioned himself in a somewhat favorable location, a toilet stall surrounded by walls.
To Taehun, it wasn’t a big deal, what the location was, he had the confidence to win.
As Taehun launched another kick, Hobin jumped up and hung from the upper wooden wedge of the toilet stall to evade that.
He didn’t stop only at that and leaped on him and held him in a baseball cross-choke.
Adrenaline was rushing inside his brain making him unaware of the surroundings.
Taehun was tapping for submission and Snapper was asking him to stop, but everything fell on deaf ears.
He had to count to ten before stopping, which left an unconscious Taehun.
Taehun on the other hand, had the worst flashback of his first and last defeat due to the same trick.
Yes, our boy Hobin won, and the victory was an absolute one.
Lastly in Viral Hit Episode 8…
That’s how the most important phase of Viral Hit Episode 8 came to an end.
After Taehun came to his sense, he found a worried Hobin still there to give his cherished watch back, which had fallen during the fight.
He left saying, next time Hobin won’t be so lucky.
Now, commercial time!!!
After they were done with all that, it was Gaeul who would do the remaining work for a re-run of the video, the editing work.
The uploaded video scored a whopping 3 million views and the subscriber grew to 190,000.
However, when everything seems to be going well, misfortune strikes.
The same may happen to Hobin, in the next Episode….
