God of Tennis

Han Woo-jin was able to rest properly after the propaganda opening, which was a lot of work and a lot of work. It was due to be close to the next two weeks until the opening of Tokyo. I wasn't even sure if he was still in the game. In many ways, physically and mentally

It was a good time to weaken the enemy and the enemy.

I was still staying in the fleet building. During the season, I had to keep the tension to a minimum, even if I could spare it. Han Woo-jin was sitting on the couch in the audio-visual room watching the video. It was a recording of the Australian Open at the Major Games last year.

I touched someone's hand on his ear, who was still focusing on the screen. It was a gentle, delicate feel that did not irritate the area of the wound.

“Stay still. ”

A sound came from Hanwoojin's ear, which stopped moving as he said. It was the area where the ball was hit at the propaganda open finals. It has been conveyed from skin that reveals the feeling of cool air.

“How are you feeling? ”

After turning his head, Shin Se-yeon's face was in front of him. He shrugs and replies with a gesture. In fact, the pain had been gone for about two days. I was saying that I don't know, but it was a little stuffy.

“Totally fine. You're not even hit by a bullet. Aren't you worried too much? ”

“If you hurt your eardrums, the problem grows. It was squeezed, but it was swollen. ”

Like she said, it was quite a mollusk right after being hit by Max's body shot. I felt like I had lumps in my swollen stomach because it wasn't red. Three days after the competition, I lived with a bag of ice in my ear. It won't hurt.

No matter how many times Arthur sleeps.

“I wasn't even able to practice... ”

“You're just gonna leave it alone and then listen to me talk to you? I'm not the kind of person you just wait to see. ”

“That's right. ”

Avoid over-emphasizing the topic of hard training. The former director's style was like that. If you want to see any signs of injury while always pushing the players hard, you recognize them like ghosts and drive them out of your coat.

If Han Woo-jin was hitting the ball in his coat with a deaf ear, he had a temper to hit the other ear. On second thought, it seemed like a wise choice to take a break.

‘Max Muller. ’

I came up with an offensive name. He picks up the paper cup he left on the table in front of the sofa and takes a sip of cold water. A German ranker with a personality defect. A slug that went into optimal timing that day stretched Max's wrist ligaments.

“… You said Max is out of season, right? ”

“Yes, I think the injury you sustained last time was somewhat severe. They said they're going to take a break for a while. ”

The ligaments were difficult to heal because they left the player's own resilience. Perhaps you need a monthly break. In some cases, the skills they had before the injury could not be recovered.

Well, to be honest, that wasn't the point. Hanwoojin had no sympathy for Max, who flew the ball with clear malice. I wanted to think of it as a causal response and try to fix my personality with this.

The silent audio-visual room called after two people had watched three games. Just then, Shin Se-yeon, who was sitting near the phone, answered the phone.

“Yes, this is the audio-visual room. ”

She raised her voice. There was only one person in the vehicle who could know where they were in real time. It was a call from a tribute director.

“… Got it. I'll be right there. ”

The call wasn't long. Apparently, the former director paged you two.

“What's going on? ”

Yesterday, I told him to rest well when he came up to practice. I didn't think of any reason to suddenly summon in this way. Shin Se-yeon got up while turning off the TV with the remote control.

“I hear you have a visitor. I don't think I'll know until I go. ”

* * *

The two people who found the supervision room were able to meet someone they had not thought of. Sports broadcasts, anyone could relate to. South Korea's No.1 sports commentator, Sungjin Park, was there.

“Hey! Nice to meet you, Hanwoojin! I can't tell you how good it feels to see a camera face! ”

“Nice to meet you. ”

As soon as I reached out my hand, a warm touch wrapped around my palm. It was the generous taste of an old man's unique hand, with a little sweat on it. Han Woo-jin couldn't help but be embarrassed when he saw Park Sung-jin being overly hospitable.

"Why are you so pleased? ’

There was not a single moment of personal friendship. Even as a player, I knew what kind of character Park Sung-jin was. South Korean sports commentator. I just called and the viewer said it was inflated like a balloon. Listening only

But he was also a tasty Chuimbird and a great voice.

You don't think that kind of person would show this much affection for themselves? As Han Woo-jin, it was a surprise. He followed his waving hand and his gaze. I was aiming for the director.

What's wrong with him? The tribute ceremony shook its head with a shivering look. It was also because I didn't know why.

“Come on, let's sit down. When I got older, I became too clumsy. Putting the owner on the guest list. Isn't that right, Victory Ceremony? ”

“What's wrong with you, Seong-jin? Someone who's been coming and going since I was a veteran. ”

The awards ceremony was grumbling and did not refuse Park Sung-jin's handiwork. He had a personal friendship, and in the whole industry, he was just like you. The name "brother" came naturally to me.

It wasn't until the four of you split up and sat down on the couch that the story really started. Han Woo-jin, who was surprised by the sudden hospitality, also regained his original ignorant face. I wouldn't have known if I was a fuzzy person, but I was told that the target was a Park Sung-jin commentator.

Park Sung-jin opened his mouth. He brought out the topic himself with an interesting face today.

“Han Woo-jin, are you interested in broadcasting? ”

“Broadcast… what kind of show are you talking about? ”

There were many kinds of broadcasts. There were many roles such as documentaries, interviews, and guests. Of course, there were limits to the role of sports athlete Han Woo-jin, but it was definitely not a predictable choice.

Park Seong-jin did not hesitate to speak. I didn't seem to hide anything about the program I was planning.

“This is going to be a program that will tell you the whole story about tennis. I was going to be the host this time, and I couldn't think of a lineup after losing Han Woojin. ”

“I'm not sure what the right topic is. I'm not particularly good around horses... ”

Once, Han Woo-jin, who had fallen into humility, could recall a fact that he did not realize. There are only two conditions for athletes to be treated in the world of sports. You're good, you're good. And he won the second ATP Tour in Korea.

He was captured. He had every reason to be invited to the program.

‘Even if it were me, I'd come and get you. ’

Park Sung-jin said with a slightly bewildered face what it meant to interpret his silence. It seemed to have interpreted that Han Woo-jin had a negative opinion about the broadcast.

“It might be a little boring for a young player, but I think it makes sense. First, I decided to play Kim Hyung, and this is an opportunity to publicize tennis that is getting smaller and smaller in my country. ”

However, it was the former director or Shin Se-yeon who agreed with Park Sung-jin's enthusiastic persuasion. Unlike Han Woo-jin, who was just saying yes, he was well aware of Korea's underdeveloped tennis infrastructure.

But they didn't open their mouths. It was the player's choice. Broadcasting has always been off-season. There was also enough risk of hitting the candle in the competition that I had to follow such a schedule and focus on.

Han Woo-jin was silent for a moment. He put on the scale what he got and what he lost by appearing on the broadcast.

‘You won't be able to rest well... but it's not a long schedule. I don't know why I want you to be there. ’

He also did not lack the desire to appear on TV. It was hard to know which side was heavy because of the mix of longing and annoyance, but I also had a little bit of a desire for popularity, like normal people. Ultimately, the choice was tilted in one direction.

“I'll do it, the program. ”

“Oh! That's very thoughtful. I may not wear it on my face, but I don't do a lot of hosting in person like this! ”

Park Sung-jin waved his hand on the table as soon as the acceptance fell. Because I had just held it tightly until now, the moist feeling made me feel even more uneasy. He nods with a straight face.

“Oh, yes. Please take good care of it."

But that was the end of the story.

One hour of meaningless chatter was enough to spare Han Woojin's soul. He left the supervision room half-leaning against Shin Se-yeon. I was bored because I was unfamiliar with distractions, but it was rather awkward for someone who was gentle.

It was unpaired.

After leaving the room, two middle-aged men behind him giggle with a big smile.

“You like it that much? You're a very good boy. Catch. ”

“Hey, has Han Woo-jin ever come out as excited as that kid? Twenty-seven or eight shape genomes, plus an ATP cup. I only brought it at 23. Don't you look excited?! ”

“Calm down. If you don't turn your eyes like that, she won't run away. By the way, who's thinking about that program? I heard the head rolling. That's the whole plan. ”

A tennis program that leverages Han Woo-jin's unfathomable reputation. Maybe it's going to be a conference call? He'll cast Kim to attract established fans, and he'll use his new youth as a sign to gather viewers.

“Ah, this one? Ha Jungwoo CP, there's a nice guy at MBS Sports. Han Woo-jin recognized the authentic price at a glance, as well as winning a propaganda ticket to the propaganda opening. ”

“I didn't know the station was so bad these days. You'd be trustworthy if he said that. What about work? If it were next week, I'd try history as well. ”

“Oh no, it's this Saturday. Don't you have time? ”

Park Sung-jin collected glances with a sad face. Although Han Woo-jin won the ATP Tour, Choi Hyuk was more likely to become a ranking athlete. If you win a British Challenge League in the middle of a fight, you will win the world ranking

You will enter the King 80 volume.

Unfortunately, this time was not the right time. Arrival is Sunday, even if you are on a plane as soon as you finish the finals. The tribute shakes his head to the left and to the right.

“Phew, I can't help it. This time, I have to be satisfied as a Han Woojin player. ”

“Oh, you're so old and greedy. Form, Woojin, and my brother will literally have no one left to play tennis in the country. What the hell are you talking about, being a moderator? ”

“Oh, I almost forgot. Common sense, where are you going with Han Woo-jin and Choi Yeon-hyeok? ”

The tribute opened its eyes wide. It was because I didn't know that I was going to bring up something that I didn't say. Park Seong-jin was looking at him with a face that seemed to catch him. Before answering, he said he would not back down.

You have no reason to hide it? ’

Come to think of it, there was no reason to hide it. What is the secret that Korea ranks 1st to 3rd in the Tokyo Open? The tribute opened its mouth for a moment.

“I'm going out to Tokyo Open. So I asked him to build up the points a little bit, and fortunately, it's going pretty well. ”

Han Woo-jin achieved his goal by winning Shenzhen Open, and if he also won the contest he is currently in, he will reach his target point. With this flow, three Koreans could put their name on the ATP500 stage.

However, Park Sung-jin's reaction was strange. He shuts up for a moment with a stiff face. Even the former overseer who was watching was suffocating.

“What, is something wrong? Why does your face look like that as soon as you hear the Tokyo Open? ”

“... Yes, you don't know that yet. ”

No matter how wide the director was, the news couldn't be faster than the top director in the sports media. Park Sung-jin was the person who could find out whether he was a foreign ranker faster than anyone else in Korea.

And he knew. The name of the monster who announced his intention to go to Tokyo Open just a few days ago.
