Chapter 8.3 - First defeat

After two weeks of intense traffic, time went by.

In the third week of the tournament, Jin-hee was calm, even in the 14-17-year-old class, and Yeong-seok was able to break through two rounds. Although he was caught by a 17-year-old in the semi-finals, it wasn't much for 12-year-old Yeong-seok.

It was an objective analysis, not an attempt to turn the excuse of the loss into "body condition." Coaches and academy officials have already recognized Yeong-seok as "the lumber for the world," and the players also tried to make friends by admiring him. Young-seok was also greatly encouraged and did not refuse the favor. Contrary to what I was worried at the beginning, Jinhee also became active and actively communicated with peers.

In the 4th week, both Yeong-seok and Jin-hee took part in the training, thinking that they were "last". In the tournament, Jin-hee unfortunately missed the 18-year-old wall and missed the first round.

Thanks to Jin Hee's support for such a pity, Young-seok won the championship in 14 ~ 17 years old. Yeong-seok regretted that Roddick wasn't on the list, but defeated the 17-year-old who lost him in the semi-finals, causing everyone to vomit.

On the last day, I finished my morning training and said goodbye to my roommates. There was nothing sad or sad because it was 'See you next time' rather than 'hello'.

Yeong-seok packs his luggage and waits for Jin-hee in front of the dormitory, while the office worker walks with two women.

***

"Mom! old lady!"

Young Suk's mother and Jin Hee's mother.

In the middle of a busy flight, he flew directly to Florida to return Yeong-seok and Jin-hee safely.

"Oh, my son. It was big because I didn't see it. "

Mother hugged Young-seok and kissed him.

"Mom, you are watching her… … . "

"What do you think? Everybody is shaking their book like this. "

My mother really attacked Yeong-seok without seeing others.

"윽!"

Then suddenly I grabbed my back,

"We're three years old, how old are you?"

With a lament, I put down Yeong-seok again.

"You are a little tall. Let's see I'm 170… It's about 165 cm. In a month ?! "

Yeongseok wanted to say, 'I'm more surprised to see my mother lift a 165cm son.' Because I liked seeing Yeong-seok tall, I didn't want to break the excitement of my mother.

Soon after the trembling, Jinhee loaded up the trunk and came out to the dormitory. Accompanied by Jesse, an oversized security guard, Jesse was still big and scary.

As soon as Jin-hee saw Jin-hee's mother, she ran to Burkinake and embraced him.

"Mom!"

"My daughter!"

Yeong-seok's mother muttered that she was surprised to see that she was really bigger than my mother.

"I think American water is good. The lady is done. "

Not really, as Jin-seok grew up, Jin-hee also grew so fast that the difference between the two was still. It was similar to Youngsuk's mother.

***

After the reunion of emotion, the party headed for the hotel.

"It's hard to ride a plane for a long time. Let's rest for a couple of days. "

Yeong-seok and Jin-hee were also excited by the exciting words of their mother, who still ignored his job and walked on my way.

After unpacking at the hotel, they headed to a tennis store.

Since it was not yet signed with Yeong-seok or Jin-hee, the company bought a beautiful one at will. As promised the other day, I bought tennis shoes with the same design from the same company. Young-seok's mother said, 'Do you have any customs? … 'For a while, I bought it randomly. 'America is really heaven for tennis people!' And bought a lot of tennis wear, tennis shoes, rackets and bags.

After shopping, I had to feel the delicacy, so I stopped by the restaurant and ate things like steaks.

'Is my house okay? … . '

I spent a day luxuriously and luxurious enough to worry. After coming back to the hotel and washing the body, Jin-hee came to the room where Young-seok and Young-suk's mother would stay.

"Let's go for a walk."

Young-seok, who senses the sharp eyes of his mother, 'Look at these things', grabbed Jinhee's hand and left the room.

***

It was not a five-star hotel, but the hotel was quite tidy and the walkway was small and well decorated. The soft light of the street lamp lighted the road, so Yeong-seok and Jin-hee moved without any inconvenience.

"I… … . "

When Jin-hee took off his mouth, Young-suk was sick.

When I grew up and pretended to be my sister, I was talking to me at a time when I felt like an adult these days.

'Can this be me?'

After saving Jinhee, she had a strange sense of mission, so she stuck every day and cared like her brother and daughter. But today, strangely seeing Jinhee was excited. He was a clear adult, and Jin-hee was a child.

"I want to be a player."

Jinhee's declaration came out to cut the idea of ​​Yeongseok.

"Huh?"

Yeong-seok asked without knowing.

"I want to play tennis too. I think I can do it. No, I will. "

Jin-hee replied as if she vowed to her.

"I spent 4 years with you and I was worried because studying was not difficult. I didn't have the talent to continue playing tennis. "

Yeong-seok resonated with Jin-hee.

Choi Young-tae and Yuri did not play with their peers strangely. A child is constantly in the habit of comparing himself with others. No, it is natural for human beings to try to know where they are.

But Yeong-seok and Jin-hee have been playing tennis under their instincts. Yeong-seok always had his eyes on the world stage, so he struggled with himself. But not Jin-hee. She had an unusual view of the girls of her age. You cannot think the same as Yeong-seok. So Jin-hee's comparison was Yeong-seok, and Yeong-seok's skills were always running in front of him, so she lost her confidence. Then he came to Florida for the first time with his peers, and Jin-hee, who was only 13, beat the 17-year-olds. I have confidence.

"Tennis is fun and fun, so I want to keep going. I want to live on tennis if possible. I will be a pro like you. "

"… okay. I didn't want to, but I wanted to tell you to keep playing tennis. "

Yeong-seok nodded and Jin-hee's complexion widened.

I wanted to talk to Yeong-seok before anyone else. I wanted to say this first to Young-seok, who relies more than his parents.

Jinhee grabbed Yeong-seok's hand with a refreshed face and stepped up with pleasure.

I walked through the walk for a while and asked carefully.

"Will you stay together?"

Youngseok smiled and replied.

"Of course."

The two returned to the hotel entrance.

Even when he took the elevator to go to his room, Jin-hee never let go of his hand.

Upon reaching the seventh floor where the room was held, Jin-hee suddenly kissed Young-suk's ball. Then,

"Thanks."

Shy and shyly stepped into my room.

"Ha… Ha… … . "

At the entrance of the elevator, Young-seok was left alone.

Young-seok stroking his ball and laughed desperately.

***

The next day, all night, "Wait, son. What are you doing with Jin-hee? "Yeong-seok suffered from his mother, raising his body. In the morning, I have never been this relaxed since I was 7 when I returned to the past. It was a stone that always lived with sharpened nerves, so when the tension was relaxed, the reaction came severely. Still, I couldn't skip breakfast, so I got up and prepared to go down to the restaurant with my mother.

"Good morning?"

Jin-hee and Jin-hee's mother also came out to visit.

Worried about the tired young-seok, Jin-hui rushed in and asked him.

"OK. let's go eat."

The two mothers smiled as if they were bridesmaids and accompanied the children to the restaurant.

'It's okay?'

The hotel breakfast was not expected because I had always eaten quality food at the academy. But this is what. There is no steak, but quite a variety of food was hanging like a buffet. Even the taste was good, Yeongseok was satisfied and had breakfast.

"Today is… Let's get some rest. It was so hard yesterday. "

Yeong-seok's mother, Yeong-seok and Jin-hee were all exhausted and slept. It was just a series of eating and sleeping.

The two-day rest group left Florida and boarded the plane to return home.
