God of Tennis

< The Championships, Wimbledon # 0 >

The morning at London and Heathrow International Airport was not unlike usual, as the number of tourists who visited the UK during June visited Wimbledon and other events increased.

However, they were not the only ones who contributed to today's chaos. Dozens of journalists who had been overwhelmed with waiting from the dawn were also contributing to the chaos. I don't think we should be hanging around here trying to keep it out of the way.

It was close to work.

“Yawn, when are you coming? Are you sure you got your flight time right? ”

“Of course. Andrew Murray arrives 10 minutes later, then Stan Barbrica, 35 minutes later. And that's not the end of it, that's where the line comes in. ”

“Dammit! What brings you here at the same time on the same day? Last year, they took the day apart, and it's hard this year. ”

Empathy spread around the two reporters who were chatting with a blunt face. Tennis players who move individually rather than in teams were very rare to move in groups like this. As of today, not only in the day, but also in the morning.

It was good to see that there was no precedent in entering Jur.

The 10 minutes of waiting while holding back drowsiness were comparable to one hour. Until Andrew, who was the first to enter, continued yawning with the strength to lose his jaw. Even everyday journalists who are confronted for reasons they don't understand.

was one heart.

"Please come quickly! ’

But they didn't expect the plane to arrive sooner or later.

Andrew only showed up at the airport immigration team exactly five minutes later. Fortunately, there are only a few people in the judging group. Certain identity assurance as a tennis player, and Andrew, who is the UK tennis protagonist, is more

I was able to set foot on the platform through my own procedure.

Cocktails! Cocktails!

The flash from the camera engraved on the film the faces of Andrew surrounding the racquetbag and the team that followed. It's not a place where you can just step in front of a player and push your microphone in, so you have to make a story like this.

I did.

Luckily, after Andrew passed, the players showed up in succession. Journalists who were tired of waiting since dawn were glad of this situation. I'd rather move around busy than squeeze like a diseased chicken.

No. Some journalists opened their eyes and pressed the shutter.

There was a difference between the response of the players who were baptized by the Flash, such as slavery.

Barbringa waves her hand to a familiar face and slips away, while Nicholas, who is still inexperienced, holds the pose for a moment.

In Okuda, it has not been known yet and has not received any attention, but several reporters have recently been watching the Asian players' advancement. Do you think you can just run up like Han Woo-jin?

With the possibility of becoming a khoss in mind.

“Glad Radar and Pedro got here last week. It would be terrible if we could add those two to the situation. ”

“That's right. Wimbledon feels a little different this year. ”

To be honest, I wondered if the fame of all the athletes that appeared today would be crazy for both of them. The encounter at Lollangos has greatly enhanced the reputation of the two notorious monsters.

If he had won this year, Pedro, who won the trophy five years in a row, would have been ideally dominated against almost the only one in the world. As a matter of interest, there is no topic that goes beyond this.

1.

If they had entered together on the same day today, Heathrow Airport would have had to be physically ill, not since dawn.

Approximately 10 people passed by? When I literally let go of the shutter, a man appeared at the boarding gate of the airplane after landing at Heathrow Airport again. Visible black hair, not so big.

Despite this, he was a heavily composed figure.

Han Woo-jin arrived in London, 19th in the current world ranking.

However, there were some familiar faces near him at immigration. If they played tennis in Korea, they were the ones who appeared, Park Sungjin and Yoon Gi-chan.

“Hey, I didn't want to bore you. Han Woo-jin!”

Park Sung-jin, who had a face long time ago, spoke with Han Woo-jin in a gentle manner.

It must have been a coincidence that the commentators who received tickets from Hanwoojin and MBS who went directly from Sunwon to the airport got on the same plane. But even in a fairly large business class, it's kind of odd to lose the next seat.

I was speechless.

“No, I enjoyed it. ”

It wasn't. It really was. It's a 12-hour flight. I was analyzing the profiles of numerous gangsters and woke Shin Se-yeon up all night, and my sensitive senses disturbed me to sleep quietly.

Moreover, the fuselage of the turbulent aircraft was not a good environment for sleeping well. If there were no Park Sung-jin next door, I might have spent 12 hours with my eyes open. No physical problems, but mental stress could not be avoided

1.

“Farewell, by the way. At least you won't be able to see it until after the competition, right? ”

“Maybe.”

They are commentators apart from being personally friendly and have work to do as athletes. Despite all our efforts to overcome Wimbledon's obstacle, there was no way Hanwoojin could look away. Park Sung-jin is also MBS's Mai

There were many things to do as commentators.

Soon, the time has come for Hanwoojin and Park Sung-jin to part ways past the immigration team. Park Seong-jin stretched out his thick hands without hiding the feeling of regret.

“Good luck, Hanwoojin. Can I expect an interview the next time I see you? ”

“While I'm at it, let's prepare for a sense of victory. ”

“Yes? Hahaha, then you won't want anything more! ”

No matter how high the expectations of Hanwoojin were, no one expected to win a trophy. Moreover, Grand Slam, one of the most prestigious championships in Wimbledon, has never claimed a single Asian title.

is an honor. It sounds like there's nothing wrong with a smile even if you say nonsense.

However, Park Sung-jin felt strange.

The atmosphere was subtly different from the Han Woo-jin I had encountered before. I didn't just say it to get lucky, but I felt like I was seriously talking about winning.

‘· · Obviously the weight has changed a bit. ’

I've lived as a broadcaster for over 20 years. He has seen and rated many stars. It was not that hard to see if there was anything different from the average athlete. If Han Woo-jin had been the kind of rookie you'd expect,

The kind of existence I felt in Woojin was something I had never felt before in my life.

But is there a journalist who can guarantee Grand Slam's victory just by feeling simple? Park Seong-jin also shook his head. Thinking that liking Han Woo-jin made me feel like this.

“I'll go first, then. ”

Unexpectedly, Han Woo-jin crossed through Park Sung-jin and entered the passageway to the platform. The flash, which had already begun to explode from afar, shines through his body.

I wonder if it's my feelings again.

The back of Han Woo-jin who came into Park Sung-jin's view looked strangely large.

* * *

Through the flashlight that reminds him of the rainstorm, the group catches a bus and takes a breath while looking out the quiet window. Fortunately, Heathrow Airport has a bus route to Wimbledon. Out at the Central Bus Stop

This bus will take you about an hour and 20 minutes after arriving at Albert Grove.

The two people barely sat down, faced each other with a long face.

“Picture, I bet you took a thousand with that, right? ”

“That'll be twice that. ”

“But why is the back water taken? · · ·. ”

Old people used to believe in the myth of being captured by the camera. Han Woo-jin felt a little real today. The camera lenses are tapped both front and back and forth.

Rum, my whole body was stretching.

After a 12-hour flight, the journalists passed away and the painting did not take place.

The time of awakening was exactly one hour and 20 minutes later. The two men and women immediately opened their eyes because the pre-set notification sounded scary. I didn't see a single drowsiness in their eyes, because they were usually tamed by regular lifestyles.

Shortly after, the two of them get off the bus, pull the carrier out of the trunk and start walking again.

“Is this the neighborhood? ”

“Yes, you don't have to go to Wimbledon Stadium today. ”

The date was still two days away from the start of Wimbledon's mainland on June 23. As long as the march had already been received and the guitar had already been completed a long time ago, there was no reason for Han Woo-jin to find the stadium.

When the group arrives at The Wimbledon, a hotel they captured shortly, they enter the lobby without hesitation.

It was a building with a slightly different image from what they usually say about hotels. It looks more like a medieval nobleman's mansion than a modern one, only four stories high. The interior of the lobby was no different. Old-fashioned but cool

The walls and decorations were showing off a strange charm.

However, Han Woo-jin couldn't afford to savor the beauty. I have been familiar with it and have grown up near the lobby desk.

“· · · History? ”

“Oh, you're here now. ”

Unlike Han Woojin who opened his mouth in surprise, his face was unsettled.

He also had no choice, this encounter was never an accident. Just like Han Woo-jin and Choi Yeon-hyeok, he is a member of the NK. Booking their accommodations was also done in the NK. Similar listings since staying at the same place

It should be enough to arrive at the time zone.

“By the way, are you ready? ”

I heard from the director that Han Woo-jin had been trained for almost a month. However, it was a story that I did not know how it was going to go. Most professional skills are already completed, so it is difficult to improve through training. Still

It was hard to get a sense of the history of seeing Han Woo-jin with common sense.

“Well, I did my best. ”

Han Woo-jin blurred his words. Nothing was as meaningless as self-worth.

But I was able to confirm one thing. That you're stronger now than ever before.

My voice and face did not stain, but the atmosphere changed. Pride that doesn't fit the fountain is arrogance, but a skilled arrogance soon leads to defeat. For example, Korea's genius GO Knight, Last words when Isedol was in his prime.

No matter how many times, no one could accuse him of being arrogant. It's because I have skills worthy of arrogance.

It's been a long time since I've met a friend in exotic lands, but there's nothing more I can say about Wimbledon. Han Woo-jin takes the key and looks at Shin Se-yeon coming over.

“Come up, Yeonhyuk Choi. ”

“· · · What? ”

“I won one game, but I won the last one. Now it's your turn to take on the challenger. ”

Choi Hyuk's eyes, which understood the context, shook like a flame. This is a declaration of war, a knot created two years ago by their ties to the NK Vehicle Test League. Hanwoojin was going to cut the end of the knot here.

Now gone, with the history of the past.

‘I have finally decided to beat you. ’

He was reborn as the crown prince of tennis in South Korea with a semi-winning victory in Wimbledon. Instead of pretending that the honor and achievements were both absent, I made a commitment to do more than that. If you do not do so, you will be left with the shame of stealing others' glory.

It won't heal.

However, it could not be preached to Choi Yeon-hyeok who did not know English. So Han Woo-jin swallowed the horse.

"On your behalf, I will go up and drop the emperor. ’

I decided to swallow what I could not say with my mouth and speak with my heart.
