Grand Slam

Two months went by so quickly. And the sun went down after two months.

Quartz turned 13 and Jinhee turned 14.

Quartz and Jinhee are studying like zombies. Quartz is studying for the Great Sword and Jinhee is studying for the Old Sword. Both of their faces were so thin that their parents drank ginseng that it was good for their body, and they made them drink ginseng like water.

“Honey, I want you to teach me this. ”

Asking Yeon-ha's marble what she didn't know as she got thicker was a bit of a bummer, but she felt no hesitation now that she thought we were together on the same goal.

“This……. ”

The quartz was kind enough to release the cold on the note.

It turned out that the room was littered with A4 paper. It's all covered in black stone, so there are traces of marble.

“Can't we just memorize this formula at the end? ”

After the explanation of quartz lasted for 15 minutes, Jinhee asked.

“Mathematics is for the duplication of thinking. If there's anything you don't know, I suggest you hold on to it for at least an hour. You take out all the formulas that you think are relevant and you write them down on one side, and you try and develop them little by little. ”

The quartz took out another piece of A4 and organized it neatly.

“If you put a wire or something in one place, it gets really tangled up. Think of it as a mathematical problem. Even if it looks clumsy, every time I let it go, it'll all go away. ”

“Yes... ”

Jinhee felt ashamed because she seemed to be a tree for no reason.

Quartz stroked Jinhee's head like that.

“This is a concept that Jinhee hasn't learned yet, so it's natural that she hasn't solved. Don't be afraid.”

“Yes!”

It's Jinhee who is so energetic.

A marble swept through the desk once, and the books fell off the ledge.

There are too many problems books and concepts in one subject, so I drop them at once, spread the next subject on my desk, and study.

“When you were in Florida, did the conversation go well? ”

The marble is unlucky. I intend to study English

“I didn't have a big problem with the roommates, but I didn't understand what the coach was talking about. ”

Jinhee thought of the bear and replied.

“Really? Let's study some tennis related words and conventions first. Well, this is a file I copied from Florida... Let's hear it together. ”

The file prepared by the quarterback is the commentary of a match, and press conferences, athlete interviews.

Foreign casters and commentators rarely talk when broadcasting broadcasts, do you think it'll take 10 to 15 minutes to put together what you just said in the first match?

“Just Great! Amazing! I can only hear this...... Hehe.”

Once I hear it, Jinhee pulls out her tongue and smiles cute.

Even the marble smiled. Unlike football, tennis doesn't "teach" viewers. Sometimes I just end up praising the player and putting in a Thanksgiving. He doesn't even say anything about rallies. So, in some cases, all I hear is the breaths and groaning of the players for five minutes.

However, there were a lot of things to refer to in the interview recording file.

“I also prepared this. ”

Quartz pulls something out of Juju Island's bag. Turns out it was a pile of paper.

“I've drawn up my own metaphor for the words and the sentences needed in the conversation between the player and the steps. ”

“Oh my……. ”

I was surprised to see Jinhee prepare it.

I know because I'm on the same schedule as myself. After training, the Pokémon faints until it sleeps in vain. Bob only eats to grow. Otherwise, five kilograms a week would be ridiculous. While I was going through a rough schedule that was almost insane, the marble was great to prepare me to study like that. Jinhee, who was old enough to carefully gauge how much she could do, was impressed with the attention of the stone because she was already teaching her previous subject.

Wow.

Suddenly, Jinhee hugged marble.

The two of them are the same height, so they are not the same as before.

“Thank you……. ”

The marble was embarrassing.

Jinhee's Skinship since she came from the United States (?) is becoming more and more common today. Handling, arm-wrestling, and kissing are not hesitant. Usually a 13-year-old boy would hate it and push it away, but marble is so cute that he accepts it.

‘Girls grow up fast...' ’

Jinhee probably won't get a chance to hang out with girls in the future.

School alumni, athletic motivations... Socialization is usually done among people, but Jinhee won't. Human beings, love, even the Accident... They all hang out with the stones.

Jinhee's dependence on marble is unimaginable.

Young Seok is a brother and friend to Jinhee, and also serves as her lover and brother. That's all, since he was young, he has been feeding, receiving projections, and teaching, so he must also be acting as a parent.

“ ……. ”

Hmph.

When I thought of it that way, marble felt a great sense of responsibility.

But on the other hand, there was a gust of air.

‘Yes, I'll do anything. ’

There was a strange spark in the marble's eyes.

It is the eyes of a ‘man’ with a mixture of responsibility and ownership. Even though he doesn't know it himself.

* * *

“Come quickly! ”

Choi Young-tae gives a shout to the rocks and Jinhee that are fluttering from afar.

The children were covered in gray because their faces were too dark. Too many hard days are eating away at the function of the body.

However, marble held Jinhee's hand and moved quickly to the mourning of spirituality.

“Today you both compete with your peers. ”

Choi Young-tae resolutely said that she didn't feel sorry for Yeong-hee and Yeong-hee who came before.

“A match...? ”

The marble was stunned.

A contest... It took me 30 minutes to wash alone in the evening, and I barely get down the stairs for years... A contest in the middle of this. Jinhee is also crying next to her. However, Choi Young-tae turned around and got into the car. Even the weary wearer sat in the passenger seat without saying anything.

Quartz and Jinhee put themselves in the back seat indefinitely.

Unh-

The car quietly laughed at my legs with an engine.

“Greetings!”

Choi Young-tae opened the door and came into the coat, greeting loudly.

A distant looking man approached Turbulent Choi Young-tae.

“Oh my… It's been a long time since I saw you at a wedding. ”

And I asked Yulie how she was, smiling and looking good.

“Yuri, how are you? ”

“Yes, Director! ”

This good-looking guy was the director of the tennis department of the Cheonggyeongtae School, Choi Young-tae's mother, and was a famous master who ate the national championship like a meal. Since Choi Young-tae started hanging out with Yu-ri, it was also humane enough to keep going to ask her how she was doing.

“Yes, are those the disciples you're raising? ”

When the director saw marble and Jinhee, he asked her that, and she bowed coldly.

Jinhee greeted me as well.

“Greetings!”

“Hello."

“Yes, I'll take care of you today. ”

The director smiled and answered, leaving his gaze on Young-tae Choi again.

“Warm-up?”

“Just give me a half an hour and I'll make sure it's done. ”

“Yes, you can use the playground, so get warmed up there. I'll get the kids ready. ”

When the director finished saying that, he turned around and walked again.

The boys at Nightshade looked at the director nervously.

Young-tae Choi told Yeong-suk and Jinhee.

“Today is the day of the monthly tournament of the Hearing School. Once a month, we do a grade-level match to set the sequence. If you get good results, everyone will be as eager as the road to becoming the front runner is open. Jinhee, you and coach Yuli go to the women's department next door and join the tournament as well. ”

“Yes!”

The answer seemed pretty big, but Jinhee was as good as marble.

“Let's all go out for a warm-up. ”

Young-tae Choi dragged the children out to the playground.

“You know that 400-meter sprint? Make it two sets. ”

“Yes?! ”

It was already a quartz and Jinhee with up to 4 sets of warm-ups between the two months, but in this situation it is different.

‘I want to fall fast, but I have to compete... And I have to run like this... ’

Jinhee and quartz sighed inside.

“What are you doing? I'm not running. Run fast!! ”

Choi Young-tae spoke to them.

Then the two musical instruments were ready to run, stretching.

“You know, no matter what happens, you can't be later than you were on the first day. ”

Choi Young-tae expressing her determination like a demon.
