Grand Slam

“Futures?”

“Yes, it's a competition hosted by our Academy. It's just a futures competition, but it's still a formal competition, so there are points on it. How about you join us? ”

The clerk handed out the documents and told marble and Jinhee.

It was suggested by the clerk to the two who defeated the Academy in a weekend tournament.

“We'll take care of all the entries, all you have to do is compete. ”

“What's the schedule?"

The marble calmed down.

But my heart was overwhelming.

“It will open in a month. The venue has been decided to take place at the Hardcourt where you guys played the weekly tournament. We're attracting Future for the first time, so we have a lot to prepare, a lot to promote to the players, and so on. ”

Kwaak -

I feel a strong grip on Jinhee's hand. Jinhee is also nervous.

“First, I will consult with the staff in Korea and decide. ”

“You only have to answer within the week. ”

* * *

As soon as he finished talking with the clerk, Yoon-suk and Jinhee hurriedly left the building.

“Hey, what should I do? ”

“What are you so nervous about? Calm down.”

Even the voice of the quartz that hit Jinhee was trembling because only she didn't know it.

“First, let's make a statement. Now is the time · · · · Korea is the morning · · · · · · · · · · ·. ”

I hurried to a place where I could make a phone call.

As students come from all over the world, credit will also be paid by the Academy. But if it's a glitch that's quite far away, it's a glitch.

"debut · · · · ·. ’

Jinhee, who unknowingly hugged the arm of marble, looked up at the marble with a vague mind. I could feel the marble's gaze distant while walking and thinking.

‘Time flies. ’

Jinhee suddenly remembered when Yeong-suk saved her.

It was confusing to talk about Future, but I thought it would be something for him to think about. This way of thinking continued to benefit Jinhee. Jinhee thought about Jinhee because she had faith that she would tell the story by herself.

‘That car · · · · was scared. ’

The current confusion was nothing compared to that. When I encountered the still vivid memories and fears I didn't know how to do, marble rushed to save me. My parents still often talk about it. He's a great kid.

It's the same now. Years have passed since you decided to play, but just like that car, the reality of debut suddenly hit you. Jinhee does the competition, of course, but the situation itself is not so scary when it comes to marble.

After walking down the aisle, I arrived at the call center.

“Hi! ”

As the quartz entered, the staff asked.

“Young stone! What are you doing? I haven't been able to see anything lately. ”

“I came to call Korea. Can I talk to him now? ”

“Let's see · · · Korea, Korea · · · Yes! It should be okay now.”

An employee picked up a handset, made a few simple changes, and handed it over to the marble.

“Just dial the number right away. ”

“Thank you.”

I dialed the phone number of the house that Baek Seoin was memorizing when he picked up the phone. Your parents will all be home before you go to work.

Tour.

I heard my father's voice with a voice that sounded like a primitive signal connection two or three times.

-Hello?

“Dad, it's that marble. ”

What are you doing here so early in the morning? It's been a long time since I've called from America. ”

I just saw him at the airport, but he always had a good voice.

“Not only that, I asked if I could join Future at the Academy. ”

The quartz briefly said something.

- · · · · · ·.

“Hello?"

- Oh, oh, yeah. Futures? When? · · · · · · · · · · · · · ·. Oh, honey!

You hear a rumbling past the handset.

-Hello?

“Mom!"

My mother answered the phone.

- When? I can't go this week.

“It opens in a month. ”

- Yeah? · · · I think it's okay for Yeong-suk to join both you and Jin-hee · · First call the fetus coach and Yuri. You know the number, right?

“Yes.”

Call me, make a decision, email me the details. Oh, tell Jinhee to call home too.

“Okay, I'll get back to you. ”

No matter how burdensome the Academy was, the calls were always this short, whether the international calls were quite burdensome. Baek Seoin handed the handset to Jinhee.

“Jinhee, don't you think you should tell home? ”

Jinhee nodded her head and called home.

And the third call was to Coach Choi Young-tae.

-Hello?

“Coach, it's me. Lee Young-seok.”

- Yeah, what's up?

His voice must have been sleepwalking.

“Not only that, but the Academy has asked me to enter the Future Games. ”

Future? Honey, bring your calendar. Go, go, go, go!

Choi Young-tae rarely raised his voice and picked up Yu-ri.

- When?

“A month later, I said. ”

- Let's see. In a month? Hold on a second.

It sounded like Young-tae Choi and Yu-ri were discussing something beyond the handset.

I think it's been a minute.

It's time for your debut. We're going, too.I need you to build your body on schedule.

“Are you coming, Coach? We can make a body. We can keep our own schedule. ”

- Hey, you think your teacher can hold out on you when his students make their debut? Anyway, I'll talk to Hyunwoo, Minji, and Jinhee's parents and go with them. You've been training well. Don't beat yourself up.

“Yes, of course. ”

He handed the handset to the staff and said.

“Thank you.”

“Let's play another game! ”

The staff smiled and said to marble.

Academy staff are almost all tennis players and all tend to make friends with tennis. While visiting Florida every year, quartz also played a game with almost every employee.

“Great. I'll see you then. ”

The marble leaves a greeting and leaves the building with Jinhee.

I was out of my mind, listening to Future and talking to Burya Burya, · · · · · · ·.

I was so tired of this situation that took less than an hour.

“ · · · · · ·. ”

When I arrived at the dormitory building without saying anything, I was full as a condition reflex.

I was nervous and hungry. Myrtle and Jinhee stared at each other and complained about the complaint.

At the entrance of the dormitory, I looked back and saw the Academy view, and there was a bright crimson glow.

The stone's mouth opened while looking at the sunset.

“Jinhee, it's time to start. ”

Jinhee replied, filled with joy.

“Yes. Can you do that?" ”

“Of course. You have to do well. ”

“Yes. Let's go inside and eat. ”

As I went in first, Jinhee bruised the atmosphere, and he scratched his head and headed to the restaurant.

For the quartz and Jinhee who were obscuring the way to becoming a pro, the opportunity came as if it were a coincidence.
