Grand Slam

“Honey, I'll teach you the future. ”

I stopped the clerk who wanted to guide me out of the office for a moment, and she firmly looked at the eyes of marble.

“Auntie has to return to Korea next week. So I'm gonna stop by here one last weekend and see how you guys are doing, and I'm gonna head back. I noticed earlier that you can email your mom and dad, Jinhee's parents, and email me every day. If you fold it into week 4, your parents will come back here and come home with you. Don't worry, they say you check here thoroughly for safety and health issues. ”

Young-ae quickly spits out a word. Whether I'm a little worried about leaving two children behind or my pupils are shaking nicely. Quartz tightly grasps the spiritual hand and says.

“Don't worry, aunt. ”

Yeong-hee smiled at the stirring of such marble. She looked at Jinhee and hugged her.

“Jinhee, since Jinhee is your sister, you should take good care of her. ”

To Jinhee, spirituality was one of the closest adults, so she accepted spirituality without rejection.

“Yes, I'll take good care of it. ”

Yeong-Ae stroked Jinhee's head, then went to the stone and said quietly.

“I think you'll be fine, but Jinhee can be mentally ill. You need to take good care of the quartz. It can be stressful with nostalgia, language problems, so please take care of it as you have done so far. ”

“That's my job. Don't worry, Auntie. ”

“You old man! ”

Young-ae hugged the marble and said,

“This is the dormitory building. ”

After his spirit fainted, he was guided by the clerk and reached the dormitory building.

Two identical buildings stand out. On the first floor, the guards are calling out with a flash of their eyes. Amazingly, the women's dormitory is occupied by female security guards.

“Most of the guards here are from the military. That female security guard over there was a Special Forces officer in the field. It's a relief that no one can beat her in this academy. Haha.”

The clerk responded with a sensitive reaction to the stare of marble.

The marble nods in relief.

‘That's good enough. ’

“How do you eat when you eat? ”

The clerk kindly answered the question of marble.

I thought it was a little difficult to treat the child because I saw the adult hair, but I felt it in my mind.

“You will eat in a single connected basement. ”

Jinhee secretly sighed for a light relief in the clerk's answer.

“First, let's unpack and guide you through the facility. Quartz is coming with me, Jinhee is... Hey! Jessie!"

As the employee called out with a loud wave, the female security guard on the first floor slowly walked over.

Walking slowly, the marble is surprised to see her in front of the group.

"What... are you so energetic? ’

She was a woman who was close to 180 cm tall, wearing a protective clothing, with a strong body flexion that could be analogous to her, clean hair style, and deep eyes like the abyss... and a feeling of 'I can't win’ after leaving her gender.

“Juniors staying at the Academy for a month from today. This lady is Jinhee. I need you to show me to my room. ”

Jesse smiles faintly at Jinhee. Surprisingly, I can smoke on my face with a smile like that.

Flash.

Jesse, who lightly lifted Jinhee's luggage with one hand, headed towards the covered building.

“Come with me. Jinhee, let's unpack and meet again. ”

“Yes!”

Jinhee runs like a woodpecker at the quarry.

Young Seok smiled at Jinhee's back and told the clerk to look at her.

* * *

‘Phew…. ’

In the future, the marble that saw the room he was staying in was lightly impressed.

I liked the fresh yet practical interior of the stone.

“What are you doing? ”

In the room, the marble asked, watching the children sitting in front of the desk doing something.

“It's the only mandatory job at the Academy. You check your condition and level of motivation every day; you check the corresponding number on a scale of one to five. Of course, five is the most positive. It doesn't matter when or when, but it must be done once a day. ”

“Do you check it yourself? ”

The marble asked curiously.

“Of course, I don't know yet, but if you're looking for a professional, you need the ability to judge your condition objectively and calmly. ”

The employee's explanation made sense.

‘I see. Does that make sense? ’

“Come on, let's go. I have to look around before dinner. ”

In the urge of the clerk, he sneezed his luggage onto the bed and turned to the outside.

* * *

Jinhee and Jesse were waiting outside.

Based on Jinhee's bright expression, she felt relieved that her roommates were okay.

“Now, let's go to the coat. ”

I came to America, Jinhee held onto the arm of marble.

From the look of the pink face, the new environment seems to be enjoyable.

“Wow!! ”

“Oh…. ”

I dig my eyes out like they're piercing my eyes.

He looks at the surprised marble and Jinhee and says proudly to the clerk.

“This is hard-coat 20 cotton. And as you can see, it's very well managed, so it feels a lot like the courts of many of the world's venues. ”

“Mind if I step on your coat? ”

At the question of marble, the clerk hesitated as if it were natural.

Shrunk.

Going down to the cold coat and stepping on your feet, you feel like your feet are soft as a carpet.

Nevertheless, there is a strange repulsive force.

The marble picks up a rolling ball next to it. It's not very new, but the ball doesn't have the full lifespan. I bounced the ball off my coat. Surprisingly, the ball bounced up well even with a soft coat cotton.

‘This is a real hard-coat. ’

The marble was satisfied. Jinhee also came down one day and thumped her feet. Probably the best hardcoat with several layers of structure. With a coat this size, I wouldn't have to worry about the joint shock.

“It's a practice ball, and when there's a tournament every weekend, it's a match. It's new, of course, because the contract with a tennis supply company has an abundance of supplies. So let's move on to the next place. ”

“Oh, well……. ”

The marble called for an employee who was about to turn and walk in a cautious tone.

“Yes?”

“… Can we look around the Academy later? I've been on a plane for a long time, and I'm so frustrated. If lessons are available right away, I'd like to.... ”

As she blurred her words, she asked Jinhee for her consent.

Jinhee nods happily, even stuffy.

“Hmm……. ”

The clerk hesitated for a moment.

“Come on, it's Saturday after tomorrow, so why don't you join us? This is as far as I go today. ”

The offer of the clerk was provocative and quite seductive.

It's cruel to try to build yourself in a strange environment, but you have to get used to it.

Sport is only worthwhile if it's brutal.

“ ……. ”

Baek Seoin examined Jinhee on the employee's proposal.

The flame that lingered in Jinhee's eyes like herbivores was definitely ‘determination.’

He smiled at me.

“I'll do that. ”

The staff responded with a big smile after agreeing to the pleasant marble.

“Come on, let's go have a nice dinner! ”

* * *

‘Phew……. ’

In the room with the lights out, the marble lies facing the ceiling.

Dinner was great. I was able to choose as many different types of meat as I wanted, such as quality pork and beef, and for balance of nutrition, vegetables had to consume a certain amount of compulsory meat, but I was surprised that it was so delicious. Other comprehensive vitamin health foods were also provided.

After dinner, I sat down to meet Jinhee.

“Jinhee, I'm going to be an academy student from tomorrow... Are you going to be okay? ”

Jinhee smiled embarrassingly at the question of marble.

As Jinhee has studied along marble and exercised along marble, there is a bit of difficulty in thinking on her own terms.

“No…… ”

He stared at Jinhee like that.

Up until now, I have taught everything, as I live with myself. Studying, exercising, reading, and thinking habits are all areas of Jinhee that do not possess her own will. One must be different from now on. Jinhee is about to turn 14 and become a middle school student. It is the time when the path of ‘the way of the way of the way’ begins.

Jinhee opens her mouth carefully as she says nothing.

“I've been thinking a lot lately. I couldn't figure out what I wanted to do, what I wanted to be, what I wanted to be... But I couldn't figure it out... I came all the way to America. I guess I'm not as consistent as you. ”

“No, that's normal. That's right. I just live like this because I like tennis so much. Jinhee, don't worry about me because I'm weird. And whatever you choose, I will support you for the rest of your life. ”

Jinhee's face flushes with stone's encouragement.

“Then... I want to live just like you. ”

After Jinhee's shy words, marble gladly smiled and replied.

“Okay. Let's have fun for a while. Next week, let's schedule another one around the Academy. ”

Quartz strokes Jinhee's head and raises himself up.

It's been a long time since I've had a mental skin.

“By the way, how are the kids in the room? ”

Jinhee smiled at the question of marble.

“Everyone speaks only a little English. No Americans, I guess. That's why it's even more interesting... Body language. ”

“But it's okay to listen or speak English, right? ”

“Yes, I didn't hear very much. You can just say it like you're studying at home... It's okay. Don't worry.”

“Yes. And tomorrow morning, you have a place where you had your breakfast. I'll see you there. Go to bed early.”

As I was just recalling what happened, I felt a sudden rush of tiredness. After a sudden and intense visit, marble falls into a deep sleep without much resistance.
