God of Tennis

August 11.

After preparing for departure, Han Woo-jin arrived in the parking lot inside the vehicle and noticed that there was one person he didn't know. As he noticed his gaze, the man grabbed his hand without hesitation.

“Greetings. Are you a boxer?" ”

“Yes, but who are you? ”

“Oh, it's too late for introductions. I'm a person like this. ”

He pulls out a small piece of paper that appears to be a business card in his arms. As soon as Han Woo-jin received his business card, he read Jurr down.

[Sports Agent Choi Junsung]

“Agent?”

“Yes, I am Joonseong Choi, who is in charge of Choi Yeon-hyeok. ”

The man who named himself Choi Junsung gained just enough weight to look good. Nevertheless, his eyes gently curled up like a raccoon. It was a temptation that seemed to clear the boundaries of anyone who approached me.

Han Woo-jin bowed his head lightly. As an agent of Choi Hyuk, I was able to convince him to be here.

“Are you accompanying us to the Mets Open? ”

“Yes, it's been a long time since I've stepped foot on European soil. It's a lot less than I thought. ”

He replies with a swirling smile. The more you talk, the more likely you are to entertain the target. But before I could say anything else, there was also a man here who stopped talking.

“Hop on if you're done talking. If you miss your plane due to traffic, it will fly away for 5 million won. ”

“Yes, sir. ”

The two of them climbed into the car without a word in the harsh words of the tribute director. This time, their car was a van large enough to be seated with six people sitting around it.

I wasn't sure where this came from, so Shin Se-yeon welcomed him who was riding around first.

“Welcome, Woojin. How are you feeling? ”

“Fine, fine. Se-yeon is the one who got a good rest, right? Why do I look so white? ”

“Do you want to start with mud packs tomorrow? ”

“Eek, don't do that. I was wrong.”

The two resolved their discussion through a foolish conversation. Considering that they were both pronouns of silence, they were the advancements of the elders.

Even Choi Yeon-hyeok's eyes were filled with wonder, and he guessed how surprising it would be.

The wide seats of the van were seated by two pairs of players and agents. It naturally came to the conclusion that the award-winning director was sitting in the driver's seat.

Hanwoojin tapped on the window connected to the driver's line. Then the window opens and you hear the sound of walking.

“What is it?”

“You want me to drive? ”

He was licensed, too. Even the agents that followed were all licensed ones. The former director didn't have to drive.

But I immediately gave him an answer.

“I sat down to try and drive this guy. Why? Do you want to drive? ”

“… No, thanks. ”

Han Woo-jin, who didn't want to scratch and splash, quickly closes the back window.

Perhaps the rest of the crew were just smiling bitterly before he arrived. It reminded me of the time when the oldest person, Prize Ceremony, decided to drive.

Hanwoojin, who had cleared the question, sat down with his seat belt fastened and closed his eyes. It takes more than an hour to reach Incheon Airport anyway. You will sleep on the plane for a long time, but the latest training has been tough enough to keep you awake.

Just before closing the snow, Choi Yeon-Hyuk was also beginning to shake his head. Han Woo-jin even felt Dong Byung-soon and sank his consciousness.

Two athletes fell asleep as soon as they got in the car, leaving only two agents in an awkward atmosphere. The two of them, who didn't have anything to say to each other, decided to sleep in the same way as the players. It was quiet in the car so quickly.

* * *

When they arrive at Incheon Airport, Hanwoojin's group unloads, including the carrier. The van will be back in the van by the time it gets home. The award ceremony tapped the door to see if I liked the large car that had driven like a brick and left.

As they stepped inside the airport building, a crowd welcomed them. When Shin Se-yeon and Choi Joon-seong left for airplane tickets and baggage related arrangements, the director said he would take a look at the airport.

Only the two players who had just woken up were left in their seats. As they looked around the landscape inside the airport, they felt that little perception of France was gradually approaching.

“You're going, France. ”

Choi Yeon-Hyuk muttered in a dazed voice. The voice also resounded inside Han Woojin. A French ATP tour, South Korean athletes could hardly qualify for the tournament. I can't believe you're going there.

But he pretended to be strong. The rest of the journey was too long to be surprised by this one.

“There's a lot more where that came from. ”

“Should I?”

“Not necessarily, yes. ”

Yes, I had to. This contest should never have been the end of them. It had to be a platform for us to move forward. As a tennis player, the goal is not ATP250.

‘He reached there. ’

Grand slam in four major competitions.

Korean tennis prodigy grabs the runner-up in Wimbledon, England. Seeing a guy like that in the ATP250 league freaking out, he picked up a smile.

Choi Yeon-hyeok who saw Han Woo-jin's real smile frowned. It was because he seemed to be struggling by himself.

“Aren't you worried? ”

“No way. I'm anxious enough to pray for pure water to be lucky. ”

In fact, Han Woojin's mother, Weaning Forest, really tried to do so. even though it was the happy ending that my father told me not to put a son on unworthy superstitions at once.

Choi Yeon-Hyuk tilted his head, looking at Han Woo-jin, who looked just like Tae-yeon. I didn't think someone so anxious could vote like this.

Taking his hesitant gaze, Han Woo-jin said in a cynical tone.

“But what's there to worry about? Whether we're worried or not, the contest will be held, and the opponent will already be determined. Wouldn't it be better if I just cared more about it than a headache? ”

“… you might think so. ”

Someone told me.

People all over the world are wasting their lives because they have so much worthless worries.

Such were the kinds of worries about things that couldn't happen in reality, or the worries about things that couldn't change.

It was the same with the anxiety about Choi Yeon-hyeok. Does it change anything when he thinks about it?

The contest will take place on the 21st, and the contestants will also be finished. The march will also be forged in a place completely unrelated to Choi Hyuk.

Choi Hyuk convinced me that his worries were useless.

“Thanks to you, I feel refreshed. ”

“Say that to the air conditioner over there. Don't do this to me. ”

Han Woo-jin had no intention of sticking to men personally. Only who would like it, it was kind of awkward to say thank you face to face. I didn't know if I lacked socialite or was shy well.

He turned away from Choi Hyuk's gaze and pointed to the air conditioning in the ceiling with his chin tip.

When Choi Hyuk burst into a ceremonial smile because of his dishonest friend's attitude, the former director came back and tapped his shoulders as if he felt a change in the mood of two people.

“Now you're loosening up. If it is always tight, it will sag when it has to be tightened. Take your usual relaxing habits, like now. ”

““ Yes, sir. ” ”

Soon after, the two agents are back, and they make their way out of the country. Today, there were not many people on the plane in the morning, so I was able to finish my flight comfortably.

Beyond the baggage checkpoint, Incheon Airport's duty-free shops were revealed. None of the group showed interest except for the former director, who was eager to buy a pack of cigarettes.

Their flight time is surprisingly short, and the group continues to move without paying attention elsewhere.

Standing in front of the designated gate, they presented their own plane tickets that Shin Se-yeon had dispatched in advance and boarded directly to Charles de Gaulle airport in Paris.

Estimated flight time is 12 hours and 48 minutes.

It was a long time to call it a day.

Hanwoojin sat down and asked Shin Se-yeon who was sitting one space away. This was his first time on a plane to Europe. Including "before."

“Does it usually take this long? ”

Shin Se-yeon nodded as if it were an expected question. Airline knowledge is also essential for agents.

“This is medicinal. The plane we're on is a straightaway jet, so 12 hours, if it's a stopover, basically a day. ”

“A day...”

Han Woo-jin was tired of thinking about it. I can't believe I have to sleep all day in this cramped space or look at a book or something. He liked to move around a lot, so it must have been a hard time.

Surprisingly, the former director was exhilarated. He was taking out the pamphlet that was plugged into the airplane seat and reading it.

If Chairman Jo hadn't planned the project, could he have dreamt of something like going to Europe until he retired? The journey to an exotic country by leaving what was the purpose was always heart-warming. The former director was also no exception.

‘Uh-huh... I hope you'll be okay with a few bottles of wine after the competition, right? ’

It was a selfish nature. The former director who was drunk in an exciting dream was second, and Choi Yeon-hyeok quickly became confident. It seemed that Hanwoojin's story had reached quite well.

Concerned about the upcoming competition, he regained his original relaxation and saw the view from Incheon Airport, which was beyond the window.

And 15 minutes later, the announcement flowed on board, and the plane took off with a slight vibration and sound.

It didn't take long for the rapidly rising aircraft to reach the stratosphere and level.

“You may now move. ”

In accordance with the crew's instructions, people loosened their seatbelts one by one. Hanwoojin, who was going to go to the bathroom, asked when he saw Joon-seong sitting on the aisle seat beating hard on his laptop.

“Joon-sung Choi, do you have internet on board the plane? ”

“Oh, I don't use the Internet. I was putting together a list of competitors who had entered the competition. ”

“May I take a look? ”

“It's not quite done yet... I'll show you later. ”

It was also rude to raise your head to say that. Hanwoojin moved to the bathroom he was trying to go to. At the end of his gaze, his English name took several letters.

Andr…

Hmm?

Something's stuck in my head. It was a strange feeling as if a piece of paper was stuck in a drawer.

Having thought about it for a while, he soon gave up, not remembering much.

It was a while ago that I pretended to not worry about Choi Yeon-hyuk for nothing, because I felt like he cared about something that he didn't want to.

He was tired of the remaining 12 hours of the flight and opened the bathroom door.

Luckily, it was a good thing.

If I had seen that name all the way, Han Woo-jin wouldn't have been able to sleep.

Finish
