Chapter 59.1 - Runaway Genius # 1

The next day when the schedule in Sydney was all sorted out, the Hanwoo group was getting on a car to Melbourne. Occasionally there was no noise at all except when the car was rattled. Tipped around the rented vehicle

It was also because all the outgoing scenery was monotonous.

The road from Sydney to Melbourne could be divided into two types: the fast but the uninteresting and the relaxed but fun way. Tourists often choose the latter and look around the coastal roads.

It was. I came here for a long time to play, but I didn't have to take a short breath.

Shin Se-yeon's path, however, was the Hume Highway. The road, with a speed limit of 110 km / h, was no different from a typical Korean highway. Endless fields, cows and sheep

This was a tedious road going on. Is it only better that inorganic cement walls are not connected?

The two men who had just finished the conference rush in the way, but it was no different. It was to get there as soon as possible to the Australian Open, where the finals had already started.

'Did you say it takes about 8 hours from Sydney to Melbourne? Then it won't arrive until around 3 or 4 pm. '

Han Woo-jin rolled the abacus while watching the scenery pass by like a shot. The couple got up early in the morning and finished their meals at 7:00 am and got in the car. It has been four hours since I entered the highway.

The time is right around 11 am, three to four hours later.

It's also an hour or two to sleep, Hanwoojin couldn't fall asleep now.

Although it was quite a staple at Sydney International, his speed of recovery was not common sense. As previously thought, stamina had an effect on recovery speed. A nutritious meal with a good night's sleep of 7 hours

Hanwoojin was almost close to come back.

If you are stuck in a narrow car in a state where you can run the game right now, can you have a chin to sleep? I also got tired of checking the status window and checking my status window in 30 minutes.

The ATP250 Reign, who had already won the game once, was not very rewarded. On the contrary, what I gained from my confrontation with Radal was even bigger. A boost in strength stats and a 1 level increase in Balinese skills win Sydney International

It was all of the rewards earned by Hanwoojin.

However, his thoughts were far away from his status window. It was already summarized yesterday, and now it was more important.

That was the story of Choi Yeon-hyuk's runaway that I heard from Shin Se-yeon last night.

"·· Then it was a bit strange that day."

My voice leaked out of my mind, but it wasn't the volume I could hear. Han Woo-jin remembered his encounter with Choi Yeon-hyuk in the team that came by just before returning to the season. The eyes of the enemy that he showed him

I could think of it vividly. Did you say that the overseas tour at the time of the season was decided without consulting the agent Choi Joon?

'It's not like you, Choi Yeon-hyuk.'

The longing of the end was hidden behind the feeling of inferiority held before the return. There was a time when we wanted to be like him and enjoy the same glory.

Of Han Woo-jin, he may have been a hero.

Prince of Korean tennis, genius won second place at Wimbledon. There was no reason not to look up at him.

Is that so? Hanwoojin put Choi's image in a higher realm without even knowing it himself. He is still immature and unfinished. Far from Wimbledon, even the top rankings in the world have yet to be unstable,

Was treated as in his heyday.

Error inference from the beginning cannot reach the correct conclusion, and Hanwoojin's trouble continued until 4 pm when she arrived in Melbourne. If you hadn't lifted your eyelids from time to time, you would have thought he would sleep again.

In the end, Han Woo-jin stepped into Melbourne Olympic Park.

* * *

Although Sydney Olympic Park is quite large, it was no match for the grand event of the Australian Open. The biggest event in the world is the Australian Open. Melbourne where such a convention is held

Not surprisingly, the Olympic Park's success was not quite significant either.

"·· What does Lotte World come to? I don't think so many people. "

Hanwoojin's mouth widened with a crowd that seemed to be several times as large as Sydney International. Not only the tourists but also the citizens of the surrounding area came to play with their families.

Wherever his eyes went, people crowded like ants and sweat began to rain as the population density increased even in hot weather. Even though it was about 4 pm, it was time for the sun to subside.

However, this unnatural scene for Hanwoojin was surprisingly frequent.

Nevertheless, Australian citizens, who have good access to tennis, had a huge fan base for watching tennis. What about the grand opening of the Australian slam? I don't know if it's worse than snow or gold.

The Rado Australian Open took place during the Australian holiday season. There was nothing strange about the visitors.

'It was fortunate that he broke up with Seyeon because of the accommodation.'

To seize the hostel, Shin Se-yeon decided to join later. But looking at the situation now, I was fortunate not to flock. It was not necessary to go through this tired situation together.

And this population density had its own reasons.

The Australian Open splits all the rounds in two rounds throughout the tournament because it's a lot of games and it takes too long to play five sets.

It was like a game at 11 am and a game at 5 pm. At 4 pm, the second game is now approaching, so people will be crowded.

No matter how I waited, the crowds did not show signs of fading. Han Woo-jin had no choice but to throw himself into a crowd of people of different races and ages. I feel mysterious body odor and unpleasant moisture tickle my skin and somehow get to my destination.

Sam walked towards the tennis court.

""Wait. Hold on, I'll pass by. "

But I couldn't help but bump into it. Every time I touch someone, I apologize and move forward. Melbourne Olympic Park wasn't a cramped place, but it was hard to make a place to pass.

It was about 30 minutes after Hanwoojin arrived at the stadium where he first targeted. Even if there were only a few people, I would have arrived 10 minutes earlier. He hurried his forehead, stealing wet sweat

Entered.

Melbourne Olympic Park was not a large stadium. At first, the Australian Open begins with a round of 128. I couldn't afford 64 games in one stadium. It's not five, but three. No matter how long

It was the rotation of the grand slam that laid in the bone.

In particular, in the case of one or two rounds with the highest number of games, 16 stadiums are used at the same time. The place where Choi's game is held is Rod Laver, the main stadium held up to the finals.

Arena).

Wow!

'윽, what does that sound ···!'

As soon as they entered the stadium, the crowd cheered hard. There were many people, but each one yelled was not normal. Hanwoojin was frowning and not walking.

But there was a thing that stopped Hanwoojin's feet. It was the panoramic view of the Road Laver Arena, overlooking the stadium entrance.

The audience seating around the neat blue coat was filled with no gaps. It was a spectacular sight that the dome, with a capacity of almost 15,000, was filled with people's heads. Any player in the center of this place

You won't mind the game.

The game seemed over. The shout just before was probably the cheering crowd that cheered the winners and losers at the same time. The two men were shaking hands on a distant court.

Perhaps it seemed like a long-running mesmerizing crowd was also seen to get up from their seats with some tired faces. Buying a ticket but coming in, Woo Woo-dae couldn't find a place because of the crowd. As the spatter began to empty, I had to find a place quickly.

"Where will you look at ... Seat 164 in the Upper Section?"

It was a different composition from that of a movie theater, so it was quite difficult to find a place. Nevertheless, it was Han Woo-jin who came to know the structure of the stadium as he went around the competition. I seemed to be wandering a bit and quickly found my place.

It was then. The voice of someone familiar with his ear trying to sit down was heard.

"··· Jin! Woojin! "

I didn't blame it. Hanwoojin turned his head and there was someone calling him not far away. If you can't sleep properly, the hair with the rice cake and the face of the usual chubby cheeks are slender for some reason.

"Junseong brother?"

Choi's dedicated agent, Choi Joon-sung, was there. I knew how different his face looked and he asked again. Joon-Sung Choi smiled like he understands the reaction and tuk-tuk his empty side seat

Touched.

"I heard it was coming today, but I didn't know I would meet it this way. It's been a long time. "

"Iknow, right. It's been a few months. "

If possible, the two are at odds with each other. In this way, unless someone came first, there was no natural encounter. It also made me feel happy. Ask each other's regards for a while

The two men, who looked at each other, soon got an inescapable topic.

"What's next in history?"

"Huh. Today is the second round, and if you win, you'll have some rest tomorrow. Did you know that the Australian Open takes two days per turn? "

"Yes, there was a reason for the long schedule."

Until now, no greetings or anything. But it could not be avoided. In the end, it's a story that each other has to be ashamed of, so Woo-jin decided to speak first.

"Do you know why Brother participated in the Australian Open?"

"Who was curious about that?"

As the question asked, a deep sigh came out of Choi's mouth. In his opinion, Choi Yeon-hyuk's trip to the Australian Open was crowded in many ways.

As soon as the season started, Choi shook up the league to earn points and immediately threw himself into the grand slam qualifier. When you think about traveling abroad during the off-season when you need to rest well, Choi's fatigue is going to be extremely high.

It was clear. It was not unusual to be injured right now.

"I tried to keep it dry too. By the way, his history was stubborn. "

"You said you were going to play when your brother was drying?"

"Yes, could it be me alone? The former director was very dry but I didn't listen. I'm more frustrated because I don't know why. "

Hanwoojin frowned in a more serious situation than he thought. I thought I would be losing a little coolness, but this was quite a serious problem. Did you go to the agent and push the dried one yourself? Whole value

It was a mistake to participate in the grand slam.

'What are you so being chased by?'

Choi Yeon-hyuk's sneaky face, which passed by the team, floated like a bubble and disappeared. When I think about it now, his face was very nervous. I feel the desperate feeling that I must run now

there was.

Why are you doing that?

His future is like a glorious future.

The more I thought about it, the more I became bogged down. Hanwoojin shook his head to shake off his head, and at the same time, the crowd around him started to raise their voices again.

Oh oh oh

"Does it start?"

You can't talk to the person next to you without raising your voice how loud it is. Han Woo-jin did not try to ask Choi Jun-sung but threw her eyes on the blue court where the players were entering. There was a reason for him to run here.

It's a bit of a gait.

The face of the clown is clearly visible.

Two shoulders slid sideways.

A loose grip sticks out of the grip.

He never stood in the way of the previous Choi Yeon-hyuk.
