God of Tennis
< Reason to lose # 1 >
Shin Se-yeon stayed on the porch with the awards ceremony. It was her own consideration to let Han Woo-jin spend time with his family. Originally, it was forbidden for outsiders to enter the fleet building. It was to prevent journalists from going in and out of the competition.
It was because I could distract the players.
However, the tribute was fine. Han Woo-jin hurriedly left the front door. It was only a matter of time before we reached his room near the edge of the house, through corridors and stairs inside the vehicle that were more familiar than around the house.
I still had my mother in front of my visit. Hanwoojin opened his mouth with a glare.
“Mom!"
When she touches the three names written on Hanwoojin's door with her deep eyes, she turns her head in amazement at her son's voice. It wasn't even time for dinner yet, so he didn't think he would come already.
“Is the game over already? Did you do well?"
“Of course I won. I have a chance to see my son's game like Mo. Can I fall already? ”
“He may not be good, but he's gained four years. Let's go inside. Yura's here. ”
She makes an unannounced visit. And the woman who was looking around in the room was furious and poised. But it was after I saw it all. Hanwoojin smiled with a shivering face and said.
“Is there anything strange? I don't remember putting anything so special in the player's room. ”
“Well, I'm just curious that this is your living room. ”
“Hey, don't you have a computer? ”
Unlike Han Dong-hoon, the father who clears his throat and makes excuses, Hanyura asked with a face that he didn't know how people can live without computers these days.
Then Han Woo-jin shakes his head instead of answering. He had no schedule other than regular training, meals, and watching video games. Moreover, there was no reason to put the computer on because there was a separate audio-visual room to watch the game.
“I don't need it. ”
“Wow... You're a primitive. I didn't know my brother was such an analog. ”
Hanyura said in a playful voice. Well, she wasn't wrong either. His room was very shabby when he changed his perspective. There was nothing but essential furniture, such as beds, closets, desks, etc. Two sets of clothes hanging in the closet.
Other than that, they were all tracksuits.
Perhaps Hanwoojin's room was the only racket other than furniture. The mobile phone wasn't expensive. Even the jewelry and the watches were wearing electronic devices.
Now, I could earn 10 million won by jumping into a match, and the writing was too modest. It was also because of subjective self-assessment.
“I can focus on my athletic career, but time is tight. ”
“They say it's strange to get along with muscles at your age without a girlfriend...”
“Don't be ridiculous. Why don't you focus on your mastery? Mr. Han's only apprentice? ”
“Ugh, I'm working hard! ”
In the end, the small debate ended with the verdict of Hanyura. Who should the apprentice who is about to become an apprentice discuss their time with? She takes a step back, looking at Han Woo-jin stabbing her weakness. If the story continues on this topic, I will hear what you said to my parents.
It was because it was obvious.
Han Dong-hoon said as soon as the sister showed the end of the story. The room in the accommodation was very small for four members because it was based on the premise that one person lived in the first place.
“Don't you have anywhere else to go? It's a little small to keep talking here. ”
“Um... wait a minute. ”
Han Woo-jin thought for a moment. Since there was only one athlete attending the Seoul Open, there were very few people who were staying on the ship. Due to the season's peak, many athletes went down to the province for the regional competition.
If so, all I had to do was get permission. Hanwoojin picked up the extension phone that was installed in the corner. It was a phone that connected to a specific area inside the building by pressing a number. There are only three numbers he knows.
Indoor tennis courts.
Weight Training Room.
And it was the supervision room.
Rrrr…
The phone continues to ring for a moment. It was natural for me not to answer the phone if the director was still on the porch. As soon as Han Woo-jin was about to put down his handset, he clicked and heard the sound on the other side of the handset.
[Is that Woojin?]
I was the director's voice. As there was no one higher in the crew, it was always half-assed. And he was roughly expecting who was calling. He spoke before Han Woo-jin said anything.
[Why did you call? What, you're gonna use a restaurant?]
“I'd appreciate it. How many people are on the crew right now? When I came in, I saw very few people. ”
[Let's see...]
The director didn't say for a moment if he was checking the entry and exit records. But the answer soon returned.
[Me and Se-yeon, and you and your family. There's not a single player and a few cafeteria ladies. Why is that?]
“Oh, well... ”
I always wanted to do something. Han Woo-jin gave his wish to the former director. He gave me the pleasure of saying it's not a big deal. Rather, I even added a few words to think about this situation.
[Do you need a racket?]
“Yes.”
The weather was pretty good today. It was the right weather to play on an outdoor court
Hanwoojin and his family headed to the outdoor courtyard of Sunsun. It's not that far.
10 minutes walk from the listing. It was in the vicinity.
Bam! Bam!
The less the sound, the cleaner it sounds. It was the same as digging your ears easily if there was no noise. The same was true of a wide outdoor coat. If you only use one coat, the sound of the ball spreads coolly.
A green ball flew across the sky with a net between it. The ball moves left and right while watching, then shortly after a double tap on the right coat, it stops moving.
Hanwoojin, who was watching, raised his left arm.
“15: 0! ”
Then the two men and women who were playing the rally on their coats picked up the ball and said,
“Woojin, didn't that just go out? ”
“Oh, would you look at this? That's how it works out, even for Pro Woo-jin. ”
It was Hanwoojin's parents who were playing on the outdoor court.
He was married as a hobby. Even on my honeymoon I went to a major competition overseas. And since Han Woo-jin was born from that day's history, the sports of tennis in the Hans family had to be different.
They used to go to club meetings every holiday and play at the local tennis courts, but the tennis courts in Korea couldn't be better. The net is rattled and the coat is untidy, causing a fall.
Han Woo-jin wanted to give those two the right coat experience. There was a reason why his mouth was smiling unknowingly at the judgment. Hanyura also sat beside him and watched his parents having fun giving him a ball.
There was.
She turns her head and speaks.
“Is tennis that fun? I don't know about you, but Mom and Dad love you. ”
“Whatever it was, it wouldn't have started if it wasn't fun. I'm at work now, but you two will probably keep hitting each other when you're older. No, he might retire for the rest of his life. ”
Speaking of which, Han Woo-jin slashed his bitter smile and asked. These days, whenever I had a chance, I was the two of you going to play tennis. If I could relax after retirement, I was more likely to be more active than I am now.
I stopped saying "Han Yu," smiled happily, and watched the two of them join the rally. Not only was she a minor happy girl when she was a child, but her own taste was not suitable for sports. It was hard to understand the three brothers and sisters who were immersed in the charm of tennis.
However, Hanwoojin opened his mouth in amazement of the few words that followed. It was a word I hadn't thought of.
“How do you hold this? ”
Hanyura pointed to his racket next to him and said so. It was a very different attitude than what I had shown. I felt ashamed and blushed. This was the first time she was directly interested in tennis.
The two of them showed up behind Han Woojin, who was unable to speak with joy and awe. Even the parents who were focused on the rally, the current speech was influential.
“Yura, are you going to play tennis? ”
“Hehe, there's a teacher who teaches well around the house...”
“Oh, brother! ”
I hurriedly reached out to Han Woo-jin, who had a heavy interest in her parents. But there was nothing he could do about it. Han Woo-jin took a few steps back and laughed.
“Learn well. How good would it be if you played with your family? ”
“Traitor!”
She shouts, grabbed her arms and pulled them over her coat like a dragged animal. However, the voice went up lightly. Han Woo-jin looked at her sister who was so focused on racquets that she was surprised.
‘You've fulfilled a wish. No, not yet. ’
He reminded me of my father's words, "It's my dream to play a dress on my coat with my family." Until the evening that the families left the ship, an empty outdoor coat was noisy with a peaceful family rally.

Then the two men and women who were playing the rally on their coats picked up the ball and said,

“Have a good time? ”
Shin Se-yeon said with a playful smile. Realizing that she was looking at them through the window, Hanwoojin shrugs his nose.
“Well, yeah. I'm sorry to keep you waiting. ”
“You're welcome. I never thought about the time I'd get out of work during the competition. ”
“Well…. ”
Han Woo-jin shut up because he had nothing to say. Sometimes, the workaholic side of her show was even a little scary. I learned that it was not a mixture of exaggerations at all. Maybe I don't want to go home today if I don't get what I came here to do.
Of course.
And her integrity was a daily multireflection that led to the pain of Hanwoojin. Of course, it was a big help, but mental fatigue was also no joke.
“Oh, and Mr. Woojin. I've replenished some more data on the Oscar player I asked you about. There's a lot of recent competitive footage on the Internet. ”
“Oh, yeah? ”
My voice was naturally trembling. "A little," Shin Se-yeon said, was always "a lot." How would it be if I could say, "It's everywhere"? There must have been an enormous amount of data waiting for him.
Suddenly, I felt like my eyes were getting darker, but shortly after, Han Woojin opened his face. There was something more important than the mental damage the briefing would do.
‘I can't lose tomorrow. Not as good a fight as tomorrow. ’
The faces of the family members who were laughing and chattering until just now reminded me of Han Woojin's brain. Looking forward to his victory, there were three brothers and sisters who will visit the Grand Chamber tomorrow. They were much more important than the audience or their capabilities.
Seeing Han Woo-jin's expression calm down, Shin Se-yeon floated. She also knew how tired he was when she heard his briefing. But it was the first time my face was sharpened like this.
It was the strength that brought me a few hours to visit with my family today.
“... I'll be right there. Audiovisual room, right?”
“Yes, but there's one thing I need to do first. ”
“What is it?”
In front of the curious Han Woojin, Shin Se-yeon tapped her abdomen. Otherwise, the needle on the clock was pointing to six.
“Eat first. I'm hungry.”
