Grand Slam

“Come on, smile more confidently! ”

Park Jung-hoon was running around with an enormous camera that could be used as a weapon. It looks like you've been a journalist for a long time and you're dealing with a camera that weighs a lot more than you can see.

“Ms. Jinhee, that's great! Wow, what a beautiful painting you are, Grimm! Oh, why is the infantry so hard? Make that handsome face more radiant, please. ”

There was a round golden plate on the stone and Jinhee's arms, trembling in busan.

Braidenton Open Winner

Writing like a egg, the word that comes out loud is the award to commemorate the victory of marble and Jinhee (Note: 29260;).

As the tears on his cheeks dried up, marble and Jinhee awkwardly smiled and responded to the film. I was never a picturesque Sun-nam like Park Jung-hoon said, but there was a beauty coming out of her proud expression.

‘Oh, that guy is so cruel.... ’

A briefly muttered marble inside was forced to smile that did not fit the feeling of pride. I've done this kind of commemorative shoot hundreds more times in the past, but in the mind of the marble, whether I thought the Braydenton Open winner was a ‘special’ experience, the natural joy was not expressed as I thought.

“Reporter Park, stop harassing my son! ”

Hanminji, who was watching with Jinhee's parents, smashed Park Jeong-hoon. Of course, Jung-hoon didn't die at all.

“Madam Young-seok, I'm starting a new history of Korean tennis right now, how can I take a fake picture? I put all my journalists' lives on the line for this article. Leave it to me."

“Well, then we have no choice. ”

After that, Park Jung-hoon's high will and enthusiasm for taking dozens of photos for about five minutes overwhelmed everyone in the waiting room.

* * *

“The reason I started tennis, the story of my parents, the reason I dropped out of school and chose Black Gossip... I heard it very well. I'm sure it'll be a good story. So let me ask you one last time. Tell us your future goals for the year. ”

After the family interview and Jinhee's interview, there was a single interview with the marble that remained in the waiting room. No one was listening.

“The goal of the year… I want to participate in many competitions and look good. No, I want to show you winning, not looking good. Futures, ATP250, 500, 1000… I want to build my career so that I can attend all four major openings next year and next year. And finally, I want to be the first Asian national to win the Major Open. ”

Reporter Jung-hoon Park stopped making fun of the fans for a moment. A slight tremor spread throughout my body.

Yeah, that's it! You ambition! You guts! You Beat!! ’

The word "recession" means that you need to have experienced injuries.

Korean tennis is now dead. Since the past, there has never been a light on. In the millennial era, that hasn't changed in 2000. Soccer, baseball, badminton, swimming, ping-pong, coaching and taekwondo… there was no such thing as a ‘good Korean' and encouraged the world. But not as much as tennis. I still don't.

‘As much as that... Lee Young-seok and Kim Jin-hee will treat them as precious. ’

Park Jung-hoon resolved to energize the fan who stopped for a while.

The Association and the unemployment team will all be stimulated. I had to do something to make all the focus shine on them. It can also change the infrastructure of Korean tennis itself. Just like the Golf Lady did a while ago. And the comment of the stone that pours oil on Jung-hoon Park's commitment continued.

“Off the record, please. because it might sound arrogant. I don't intend to end it with just me. ”

Reporter Jung-hoon quickly raised his head like a flash of light. Both eyes were filled with awe and confusion. He glanced at the reporter Jung-hoon Park and said.

“I want to revive Korean tennis itself with my success. As the first generation of up-and-coming pioneers, Jinhee and I will continue to make every effort to achieve good results. Reporter Park... Can you help? ”

Park Jung-hoon, who received the stare of marble, gave me goose bumps. I didn't get goosebumps from the cool, complex eyes. More than that, can you help me? I was even more surprised because I knew that there were many things in the sentence ’.

‘How can a 16-year-old think like this...! ’

Lee Hyun-woo and Hanminji passed by with Jung-hoon's brain.

A couple of amateurs with great tennis skills and exams.

I shared the familiarity with the first winner of marble, and Park Jeong-hoon who visited them in his time and competed with them knew their skills well. And a different way of thinking than a normal parent.

Are those the values your parents infused? No. '

Jung-hoon Park shakes his head.

I persuaded my parents myself, and I was different when I was young. I know it when I speak decisively. Whether the words were injected like dolls, or they were his.

“The Quartermaster will be a great player. ”

Park Jung-hoon suddenly spilled his horse with a faint smile on his mouth. The excitement of not being able to meet my age reached an end. Even the hand teasing the fan naturally softened.

* * *

“Hey.”

After leaving the waiting room, a group of men approached the marble heading to the parking lot with their families.

“Eh, eh……. ”

The quartz looks at the person who put the horse on him and freezes again.

He was. Marat Safin is the next runner to achieve world ranking in the future and the second major competition in the future.

“Do you speak English? ”

Behind Safin were five or six people.

Safin looks at the frozen marble face and asks.

It is true that marble is a person who has been directly and informally picked up before.

“It's possible."

As he replied, he found himself pressured by hunger, a brother of Saffir.

‘He must be a great player. But is it freezing enough? ’

I had to be overwhelmed with reflection.

For some reason, I began to explore why quartz was holding its gaze on Sapine. What I'm curious about is the unique household that must be resolved.

By beating Pete Sampras? No, by beating Roger Feathers? That's not it either. '

These two, like the Emperor, often follow defeat. In fact, Peder is heavily pushed from the battle against Nadall.

Sapine is definitely top of the line. But first class? I have to shake my head.

"Shining talent! ’

Sapine was famous for being a player whose mental faculty, including personality and values, were not able to keep up with the body. His natural body skills were mainstream compared to anyone else's. It was a waste of his talent, so it was a waste to make him look more radiant.

Safin talks to the marble about clearing his mind.

“Congratulations on winning. Besides, I'm going to the US Open soon... Do you have time for the weekend? ”

Safin grumbles.

“Why...? ”

Safin frowns at the cloudy stone at the end of her words.

‘There's no difference between a match and a fight. ’

It was an idea I could do because I didn't know the insides of the rock.

Who has ever had this amazing experience of going back in time and seeing people in the future?

“I just need to hang out with you for one day as a hitting partner... Can I ask you a favor? Oh, you got a manager? ”

“Top Partners……? ”

The stone's tension rises to its peak.

"Hitting partners"? ’

“You got it, you got it! It's possible!”

The sparkling marble shakes Sapphire's hand, expressing her strong will. Safin's words, which had cut off many complex thoughts and feelings, were distracted.

I was surprised that the fervent reaction of marble made me a sapphire.

“Y-yeah, let go of this hand... and leave me a contact to discuss the schedule. ”

In response, the marble took out a bunch of empty papers and fans and wrote down the number of the Academy office.

‘This is your chance to experience the world's first-class skills. ’

The inside of the stone that handed over the note was rumbling.

Safin sneaks away, leaving a brief greeting, just as he did when he delivered the horse.

* * *

The Academy was amazed and delighted at the achievements of marble and Jinhee.

He refused to hold a party as a group for time with his family. That day, both the parents of marble and Jinhee opened their wallets and had a sumptuous meal.

“Congratulations."

I rented a table for up to 10 people to eat at the same time in a well-atmosphere restaurant and filled it with luxurious foods. Although marble and Jinhee were fruit juice, wine, candles and gentle flowing music excited marble and Jinhee.

“Young-suk, Jinhee. ”

Coach Yuri stepped forward and opened the gate.

“Yes?”

The way I was holding the wine glass was so different from the way it looked on my coat. I had a feeling that I felt a tempting and lonely margin somewhere.

“Did I tell you? Winning this tournament will change everything. ”

At that, the marble nods.

I thought I knew what I was going to say, but I didn't know.

“We'll discuss more details later. First of all, I want to celebrate your victory today. ”

Yuri said that, pulling out two gift-wrapped boxes from the tote bag, she handed them out to marble and Jinhee.

“It's a gift.”

Yuli said with a loving voice, bending her eyes like a crescent moon.

Quartz and Jinhee are speechless and dazed to open the crate.

“Wow……. ”

Elastic burst at the same time.

On a white basis, black text is simply written Omega, and a famous symbol gracefully embroidered on top of the text.

“Can I open it? ”

Feldspar, who knew the value of this brand, trembled at the tension. Jinhee was just amazed at how pretty the elongation box looked. Same old, same old.

“Of course.”

Gulp.

As I swallowed the needle and opened the box, I saw a metal watch that appeared to be so elegant that I could feel the delicate sheen gently touching my eyes. And a small letter revealed six pages.

The stone's hand turned to the letter, not the watch.

< Congratulations on your first win. Like you said, let's decorate it with a winning cup. >

< My dear son, congratulations on winning. >

< Thank you for always taking care of Jinhee, congratulations on winning! >

< Celebrate the marble winner with a steady look! >

< You have to do better. >

< Take good care of Jinhee. >

It was written one sentence at a time. I quickly found out who wrote it, just by looking at the contents. Jinhee, who was looking at wet quartz, grabbed the watch and kicked it on the arm of the quartz.

All the adults burst into flames.

“After you set the course for tennis, it's a gift that six people have prepared. I was looking forward to giving it to you on your first win. ”

Yuli smiled lightly, as if she was still troubled by Jinhee's actions.

“Thank you. I want to thank you and say I love you more than I ever will. ”

Jinhee said something when she spoke ill. Yu-ri asked if it was cute.

“Jinhee, what? ”

Jinhee throws her words as she spills her marble.

“You're such an inspiration. Feel it!”

“Hahaha!! ”

In Jinhee's words, all the adults burst into laughter and scratched their heads since marble was embarrassed.

The atmosphere was filled with happiness as the feeling came and went.
