God of Tennis

After the season, tennis players had a hard time even eating on the menu they wanted. It is to carefully manage the body so that no problems, including dyspepsia, occur.

In fact, athletes with gluten allergies never mouth gluten-containing foods at the start of the season. Blocking all possibilities that could compromise your ability to compete.

However, it was difficult to keep the routine dry over the course of several competitions and months. A man's heart is a time when he has to let go of his time.

There was a reason why the director brought Han Woo-jin to the buffet after the Seoul Open successfully. It was not only because it needed to strengthen the spent stamina, but also because it needed to slightly dull the overly sensitive mind and senses.

“Eat as much as you want for the day. Well, you're not gonna eat your way out of this one. ”

The tribute ceremony welled up the fried chicken he had on the plate with a grumpy face. Even though I didn't have to worry about a small matter, Han Woo-jin was a hopeless one. I felt refreshed in many ways.

After that, I continued to eat without saying a word. All three of them were not the type to talk a lot while eating something. Then, only the dishes were naturally empty and piled up.

Unlike Shin Se-yeon, who first put the starters, including salads, the former director and Han Woo-jin consistently ate meat.

Is that what all men are, or are they habitual in the sport? Even Han Woo-jin chewed two steaks in a row.

After eating for a long time, the three of them sat down in the chair and started talking.

Between Shin Se-yeon and the former director talking about the interview, Han Woo-jin began to think about the alarm he heard after the finals today.

[Sublevel has reached 14. The sparrow will be disabled until the next level is reached.]

[Special Skill: Sparrow (Sub/Seal)]

‘I don't know why this restriction has taken place. ’

He frowns lightly. Sparrow promising to score close to 100% raises the power of the sphere of power. In the face of numerous opponents, the sub-game alone was not difficult to win.

However, Hanwoojin was not greatly worried or embarrassed.

This system's capability was clearly unfriendly, but it had never done him any harm. I just made the assignment and paid for it.

This seal must be in the same context.

Han Woo-jin calmed down as he tried to hurry. Even without the sparrow, nothing was different. It was a technology he didn't have originally. Hanwoojin's skill was not suddenly reduced by the loss of a special skill.

It was still a matter that I had to worry about. Han Woo-jin later realized that two conversations that he did not even know were flowing towards him.

“Woojin, are you listening? ”

“Oh, I'm sorry. Can you tell me one more time? ”

Shin Se-yeon was curious, but there was no other conjecture. She briefly explained what she had been talking about with the former director.

“I've had a lot of calls since the finals today. Most newspapers, magazine accidents, and interview requests. I want to hear your will. ”

“An interview?”

Hanwoojin opened his eyes wide and asked again.

Interview? That was the part I didn't think of. South Korea had a narrow tennis position and there were no leagues on the challengers within the country. That's why I didn't think the winner would be much of a topic.

Perhaps she nodded with a look of understanding that she knew that much.

But there were factors that he did not consider. The Seoul Open, which was the largest competition in Korea, was the face of athletes who participated there.

1st place in the country, Kim Hyung-hyung ranked 88th in the world ranking.

Rookie defeated the only lighted man in the tennis world no one notices. Hanwoojin's nomination was rising in real time.

“It's a tennis court without talent, like the drought. It's a natural story to be attracted to the emerging rookie. ”

“... Lukira. ”

I was lost without even knowing it. I couldn't help but smile, even though I could see the two of them's gaze. Hanwoojin's inner personality was nothing like that of Luki. I was a person who had seen the bitterness of society and professionals. abnormal

Mental robbery proved that.

Where else could a 10-year-old Luke be? I didn't have any reason to be embarrassed when the director was dealing with Han Woo-jin. The disappearance interrupted me for a moment. Then the director stepped up and said,

“It's going to be hard just to avoid it. The press are sticking to the stars, sucking on their honey, but they're too busy gossiping when they're distant. ”

“That's right. Some of the athletes who used to swear unnecessarily trying to get out of the way of mysticism, I guess? ”

They seemed to want him to accept the interview request. And their advice was realistic.

The media reported on the athletes' performance, raising awareness, and raising body value. However, it was also an aggressive group that brought the gaping stars to the ground at the same time.

I had no reason to fight against them by throwing them aside and asking for their attention.

Moreover, Han Woo-jin didn't know much about this. I should have known that I had interviewed somewhere, but a few words that I had previously shared with Sang-pil Kim in Jeju Island were all part of my experience.

So I needed advice from experts like Shin Se-yeon and other experts like the previous director.

He agreed without objecting. If I had said this, I would have thought of something.

“I'll do the interview. I wasn't going to go into the concept of mysticism, and you and Seyeon know this better than I do. ”

“So, ”

The former director hung up with a sip of Coke from the beverage machine in the corner. There seemed to be more to the interview.

“You remember Sang-phil Kim, right? ”

“? Yes. ”

It was the first reporter I ever met as a player, so I have to remember. Han Woo-jin immediately remembered his four-year-old face. He was also a natural storyteller. But I couldn't figure out why his name came out of here.

“Do your interview with him. ”

“With reporter Kim Sang-pil? ”

“Well, in the end, journalists and athletes are inseparable. At best, you'll have some value for your name and you'll find it most convenient to confront someone with abilities. I don't like the stickiness, but there's no one better in the industry than him. ”

Han Woo-jin, who was thinking about it for a moment, made sense. A good journalist is a definite advantage for the player. It could have clicked on an unclear rumor neatly, and it could have an effect on collecting public attention and raising the value of the name.

At least the awards ceremony was telling him Kim Sang-pil was the best choice for him. Then there was no reason not to believe. Shin Se-yeon took out her cell phone as soon as he said yes.

* * *

“Hey, I'll see you in a minute. Han Woo-jin!”

“It's been a while.”

At 6 pm, Kim Sang-pil set foot in the sunset building because it was still the middle of the summer. He gives out his hand with a big smile, as always. A chunky house full of grip was impressive.

Kim Sang-pil floated between his narrow eyes. I noticed a considerable difference in the months. The location was also quite different. He was no longer a player to be called Rookie.

‘I can't believe I won. ’

There were expectations just in case. However, even the score was one step ahead, and Kim Sang-pil was unexpected even if he had a career on the ground.

He doubled the value of Hanwoojin's measurements in his own way. It was a good enough play to earn that much credit. Kim Sang-pil took out a notebook and ballpoint pen that had been prepared to sit in the chair opposite Han Woo-jin.

“Let's get down to business. You must be tired from the game today, but you won't be wasting your time talking nonsense. ”

“Very well. Let's get started. ”

It was the day of the finals. Nevertheless, Han Woo-jin's face was not so serene. It meant that there was enough room for the outside to be neat, no matter what the inside was. I've never seen Kim Sang-pil so good at being a newcomer.

‘You're such a young man. ’

Calm face, unwavering menthol, and strategic skill at solving matches. It was hard to believe the age of twenty-three if it wasn't for the Atoned Face.

First, Sang-pil Kim decided to ask how he felt about the game today. It was the most cliché and essential.

“You won one of Korea's most famous competitions at the Seoul Open, and I was wondering how you're feeling. It's also very interesting that the opponent is that Kim Hyung player. ”

“Hmm... I'm in the mood. ”

Han Woo-jin thought for a moment and opened his mouth. Trying to express things without form in words, I needed time.

“Not bad. It's a bit of a complaint that Kim Hyung wasn't intact, but I want to make a point of winning for now. ”

“By the way, Kim Hyung came to your coat with physical problems, right? What do you think the game would have been like if he was in perfect condition? ”

“I don't like talking about IF...”

It was a material everyone was interested in. He had already thought about it a few times. Han Woo-jin coldly pictured Kim Jong-hyeon in his head. And I looked across his coat at the painting.

“8: 2… Can I play it well 7: 3? At least I won't be interviewing you today. ”

“What? Hahaha! ”

Kim Sang-pil laughed at his pleasant words.

On the other hand, he was admiring Han Woojin's cold analytical abilities. There were rare players who could see themselves as truly objective. I thought it was objective, but the majority of subjects were mixed.

Kim Sang-pil, who was interested in the appearance of Han Woo-jin like an onion, discarded some of the questions that had been pressed before coming and made up the story with the things that popped out of his head. It's been a long time since he focused so much on conducting an interview.

Kim Sang-pil, who was excited for a long time, brought out the topic that he had prepared to decorate the end of the story. He had some interesting material related to Han Woo-jin that other journalists didn't even know about yet.

He said in a slightly puzzled voice that I did not even know.

“Ah, Han Woo-jin. Did you know that? ”

“What's that? ”

Han Woo-jin asked in accordance with Kim Sang-pil's luck. This kind of interview had to be beaten up with each other. And I was really curious. All of the stories Kim Sang-pil has told have been of little interest to him.

And that expectation was rewarded accordingly.

“A few hours ago, Choi Hyuk returned home. It looks like you won the competition on Hakata. ”

“… History? ”

When the unexpected conversation came to mind, Han Woo-jin paused for a moment. He was busy enough to take care of his own work. Even for rivals, I couldn't afford to give up my best history as a competitor.

But the ideals were different. Since the Mets opened, I've been interested in how far that genius has gone, Han Woo-jin.

‘If I had just entered the country, I would have seen your face later. ’

At the meeting, Han Woo-jin answered Kim Sang-pil's continued question, thinking he must take the racket. However, I was clearly less focused than before the story of Choi Hyuk.

Although the heat of the interview was a little cold, Sang-pil Kim smiled joyfully and imagined the future developments.

How interesting is this material, the competition of two young geniuses?

Today's victory will be in the past compared to the tales of the two who will continue to come.

He waited for the day he would come and decided to look forward to two prospects.

If it was a setting star, the two were just rising stars.

‘My job is to get the telescope into those stars. ’

That was the role of the journalist.

Letting more people see them more clearly was what Kim Sang-pil should have done.
