[ He's done it, ladies and gentleman! The champ is back! And the crowd goes-- ]
Hrk--! [ Jake chokes, catching himself clumsily on an opposing table. The momentum of a man his size was enough to set the booth seating at a strange angle, turning the entire seat into more of a recliner situation. Jake works his jaw with a wince, reaching a hand up to spit out some of the blood pooling in his cheek. Distantly, he can hear a lady screaming for help. Even more distantly, he might be able to hear the thunder of conductor footsteps racing towards them. What stood out loudest was the high, tinny ring of his jaw vibrating all the way up to his eardrum.
Slumped against the booth like this, Yujin didn't just look tall. He looked towering. Jake might've thought it would be hard to look at him, but he found he couldn't look at anything else.
Which of course made it all the more startling when those distant footsteps suddenly weren't so distant anymore. Strong arms linked tightly around Yujin's shoulders, pinning the man's arms behind his back abruptly. Jake's wild, instinctual urge to tell the strangers to lay off is swallowed up by his persistent daze.
Were he more aware of his surroundings, he might've notice the ringing in his ears was joined by the squealing sound of breaking wheels. ]
Hands at your side, sir. [ The conductor ordered brusquely, nodding to his companion to check on Jake. ] I will restrain you further if I have to.
