Restaurants near Shincheon Station, TOUL

It was a good place to hang out with lovers rather than going alone or going to dinner as a family. It seemed to tell us that the quiet, quiet classical music was not a place to brag about.

Although Shin Se-yeon probably chose a quiet restaurant, there were some couples who were holding a strange plot when they entered the store.

“… Shall we go in? ”

“Well, I guess I should, right? ”

It was awkward to lift my foot. When Han Woo-jin got lucky first with a subtle tone, Shin Se-yeon replied with an energetic voice that was really unexpected or bewildered. Normally, they were not too dull, but today they were quick to notice.

Hanwoojin pushed the glass door one step ahead. Whether the glass door was slightly opaque, Shin Se-yeon's image behind the glass had to be clearly shown inside was reflected.

‘It's been a long time since I wore a suit. No, this is your first time seeing him today? ’

She was always consistent in a black suit and a white t-shirt. The clean and robust outfit was very well paired with sincere work attitudes unique to Shin Se-yeon. I feel like I have a professional vibe. A talented career woman, no matter who sees it.

It was a judgmental code.

And the uniform without any crumpling made Shin Se-yeon look more relevant than her real age. In a society that doesn't look so shabby, it was a reasonable outfit. in exchange for hiding the beauty of my youth a little bit.

But today, Shin Se-yeon came in regular clothes, not formal clothes. She wore a brown cardigan without breakage and a white sweater with skirt on, she looked completely different from usual.

"More like a college girl... than an agent. ’

Maybe it's because he hasn't come back to work yet? She looks quite odd. My personal life was very different from the season when I had almost nothing to say.

I was more likely to talk to my friends over coffee than walking around with documents, laptops, cameras, etc. In fact, it was also suitable for her age. You're so talented that after taking an early graduation course,

employed by.

Daughter

“Welcome! Are you two?”

“Yes.”

“I'll show you inside! ”

A waiter appeared in front of two people who opened the door. She welcomed the guest with an energetic voice, taking a volatile step with one of the menu panels pulled out. It's called dinner time, but it's a weekday. Top window seats for guests

There were several vacancies in the figure.

The waitress had to sit down and put down the menu and walked away from the gun.

“Then call me when the order is made! ”

After sitting down, awkward air circulated between the two of them. It was the first time we met each other dressed in Han Woojin or Shin Se-yeon. I don't know if I'm conscious or not, but in a restaurant like this, you're under the right light.

I was about to wake up.

But you can't keep your mouth shut. Han Woo-jin opened the menu first.

‘Just as I thought. ’

Like a stylish restaurant, there were many types of steak or pasta dishes, and a la carte was a fusion or something. There were many menus that I could guess to taste roughly even if I didn't try them. Han Woo-jin, who just decided to order, looked at the menu nearby.

Dunn asked for her.

“What are you going to ask Se-yeon to do? ”

“Well, I'll have a seafood pasta... and a relief steak. ”

Calling the waitress and chanting, I could see the awkward atmosphere coming back.

Then, this time, Shin Se-yeon raised the issue first.

“Ms. Woojin, have you heard anything about Choi Hyun-hyuk's current situation? ”

“Did you break the seal overseas? ”

“Hahaha, I'm not wrong. ”

Whether the expression "break the seal" was fun, she smiled brightly and took a sip of water. It seemed like he knew something about Han Woo-jin. He leans forward slightly, forgetting the awkward atmosphere.

“Does Se-yeon know anything else? I haven't heard a few words from the director, either. ”

“Well, I heard it from Joon-sung. I guess budget management is the agent's role, so I can't hide it from my senior. ”

It was a plausible story. Even if Choi Yeon-Hyuk was completely silent by robbing Sabi, cooperation with Choi Junsung was essential to the use of the association's grants as well. Han Woo-jin, who was listening quietly, found a word in the middle and put it in his mouth.

“Uh, you? ”

“Hey, didn't I tell you before? He's from the same university as me, Agent Choi. We graduated together, but my number is a few hits. ”

“Aha.”

Han Woo-jin nodded reasonably, and Shin Se-yeon continued the conversation that had been interrupted for a moment.

“Anyway, I got a call from my boss. He's been acting strange lately. Woojin asked if he knew anything. ”

“Strange, what's the status...? ”

He blurs cautiously. It was because the image of Choi Yeon-hyeok that I encountered today passed through my mind.

Lost eyelids, overwhelmingly shaped body, dull skin, and a sunny day that feels like a veil just around the corner. It was worth considering that he was completely different from Choi Hyuk before the Season Out.

“Well, you said you heard about Choi Hyun-hyung's travelling abroad, right? It's not a big deal. ”

“Then?”

“He says he's been rolling around too hard lately. He doesn't rest well and sometimes hits the ball with broken posture until the racket breaks...”

It's unusual.

Hanwoojin's face hardened in a few lines of stories flowing from Shin Se-yeon's mouth.

Wouldn't it be better if people who don't know anything about exercise work worked hard without rest? I do. I know that rest is important enough that anyone with a little bit of experience and study will not lose to exercise.

‘Besides, that history kicked ass on basic things like body care? ’

However, Choi Yeon-Hyuk was a professional. Just because you're an athlete doesn't mean you have to move your body. Hanwoojin has also learned a variety of knowledge about dietary importance, digestion, distribution of sleep time, etc. from several sports instructors, including former supervisors. Choi Yeon-hyeok

It would have been the same.

While thinking about it for a moment, Han Woo-jin was able to recall what was written in the corner of Choi's Statement of History.

[Very tired], I had never seen it before. All the stats were given a huge penalty of 8, and it was never a mild symptom.

“Is there anything on Woojin? Honestly, I heard that only Woojin is close to Choi Yeon-hee. ”

“… I don't know. I didn't even know I was out of the country by the time he came back. ”

Moreover, I was able to read the clear hostility in the eyes of Choi Yeon-hyeok who only met today. The negative emotions like hatred did not mix, but his steaming vigor was hard to reach out and speak to.

But I decided to think about it. That's why Choi Yeon-Hyuk, who never lost his natural fur, is now desperately pushing himself.

By losing to Roger? No way. If that's what you're gonna do, it's gonna blow up. Then what is it about? ’

He didn't have enough to answer for. Just as solving puzzles would have to be possible, explaining Choi Hyuk's need for corresponding information.

However, before I could think of anything based on the lack of evidence, I ran out of creepy creeps on Hanwoojin's back.

It was not why Choi Hyuk did what he did.

‘Is this why his skills have increased so much? This is what you've been working so hard for? ’

Promote to a level similar to that obtained at the Tokyo Open. If the only way to achieve that was to change his mind... how far can he go?

Gulp.

I drooled unconsciously. Hanwoojin realized one thing he had forgotten while getting close to Choi Yeon-hyeok.

Grand Slam 2007, semi-winning Wimbledon.

Not to mention Korea. Even searching across Asia is hard to find a comparable player. His talents are at a level that even the world class, including Big 4, can reach. I could jump to the top class anytime I got the chance.

And I don't know what or who, but right now, that trigger has been pulled!

“Here's what you ordered! ”

A cheerful voice interrupts their conversation. The waiter arrived with a cart full of food. With a quick and skillful gesture, she starts placing the plates on the table one by one.

Seeing the various foods smoking up the sand dunes with a tasty smell, Han Woo-jin decided to think after dinner.

“Enjoy your meal, Ms. Woojin. ”

“Se-yeon, too. ”

... Now it was more important this way.

* * *

As soon as they finished eating, not too fast or too late, they moved to a nearby cafe. I've always been there, so I'm used to it, and I can't think of a better place to talk in the cold autumn weather.

It was.

“Woojin, how was the restaurant just now? ”

“It tastes good. How did you find it? ”

“Of course it's the Internet. Nowadays, there are a lot of people who leave restaurant reviews on places like blogs. ”

She smiled and pointed to a cell phone, and in 10 years' time, what would she look like if she knew that she was using a mobile phone as well as the Internet? Han Woo-jin picked up an Americano glass floating on ice, thinking of a question he never knew the answer to.

I heard.

At first, it was green tea and coffee that I started drinking to help burn body fat. However, when I had a chance, it became a new habit. Now I hear a voice from Shin Seyeon's side, frightened to put down the cup that doesn't even taste bitter.

“What do you have in mind for next season? Either the goal of a competition or how far you can rank. ”

“Well, I never thought about it that specific. ”

Hanwoojin acted like a prudent resourceful man in his coat, but many other things were surprisingly poor. It was the same today, but it was a big deal to work closely on each match, but to schedule or organize the competition.

I went as far as I could. But since nothing has failed so far, I can say I'm lucky.

However, Shin Se-yeon side did not seem to have taken it out lightly. She gazes at the clover that the barista hovers over the coffee for a moment, then raises her transparent eyes and looks at Hanwoojin.

“You're probably thinking of sending Woojin to Grand Slam this year. Maybe that's what you want. ”

Hanwoojin, who was about to answer something, swallowed the words that rolled up to the tip of his tongue. It seems to her that there is still something left to say. On the contrary, Shin Se-yeon added a few words with a slightly hesitant voice.

“But I don't think so. Woojin is still growing at a rapid pace, and I think it's better to try to improve his experience and competence. ”

Challenging the league was not a good idea. Challenges that do not match the fountain consume the skill of the challenger, as well as the lifespan of the player. If you don't have talent in the family of merit, it's not a bad idea to just give up. It's a challenge.

It was because such tenderness, which was acceptable with a conventional attitude, was nowhere to be found.

“I'm Woojin's agent. And I think Woojin has the ability and discretion to do things the way he wants. ”

In response to the serious narrative, her delicate tone settles quietly. Hanwoojin once again tasted the bitter flavor of Americano, lifting the glass halfway up. I feel a little bitter than before, because the atmosphere sank heavily.

In front of Han Woo-jin, Shin Se-yeon finished speaking without even looking back.

“So tell me. I wonder what Mr. Woojin would like to do. ”
