Where was Lee Seonji?
Luong Chun

It was more than a little troubling, but she pushed these thoughts out of her mind for the moment and brought the focus on her opponent for the evening: Juri Han. She knew little of the woman, though the name alone told her plenty. A fellow Korean, apparently, and one who also possessed some skill in Tae Kwon Do. She doubted it would be enough to prove a real challenge for someone with her pedigree, but it would be a welcome change to fight someone with a style reminiscent of her own, even if it wasn’t as refined.
As irritating as Lee’s absence was, Luong was not afforded much time to lament - her started, signaling that it was her turn to come out and start up the match. She had a rueful sigh, then went through the curtains, coming out of the darkness and standing before a legion of unworthy wrestling fans.
With her head held high, Luong made her way down to the ring with long strides, her bare feet scarcely touching the ground as she went. She made her way up the steps and stopped momentarily, expecting Lee to bend the ropes for her entry, on total reflex. She came to her senses soon enough, then grimaced and slipped through the top and middle ropes, forcing to touch the dirty things several times on her way in.
It was a mortifying experience already and the match had not even begun. Whoever Juri Han was, she would receive no small dose of Luong’s ire. She almost felt sorry for the poor woman, but it was simply bad luck on her part.
