Grand Slam

New start # 6

“An interview?”

The marble was furious.

It was the magazine I bought at the bookstore a while ago.

It was the only tennis magazine in Korea.

“If it’s not too long, that’s fine. ”

Of course, her parents who knew what magazine this magazine was, accepted it coldly.

Even the marble nods. Half of the magazine was covering overseas news and half of the magazine was covering tennis in South Korea enough to introduce friends.

“Let’s take a picture first. ”

“Then take a family picture. ”

The marble suddenly said. When the reporter who paused for a moment was okay with the request, marble and his parents took a picture with an awkward expression.

“Yes, thank you. ”

When the journalist who took a few pictures was okay, his family relaxed and sighed and sat in the audience seat.

From then on, the journalist with the note started an interview.

“Your name… is Razor Warrior, right? Lee Young-seok.”

“Yes.”

“First of all, congratulations on winning. ”

“Thank you.”

The reporter, who was embarrassed for a moment at the continued short answer, asked the question like a storm. It’s not a problem because it’s written by you.

“When did you start playing tennis? ”

In response to the question, he was unable to answer for a while. In fact, I’ve been thinking about what to do with this for over 20 years. But…….

“We started this year. ”

He brazenly replied. I can’t help it.

“Oh, really? That’s amazing. How did you get started? ”

“My parents taught me. My dad was fifth in his class, and my mom was eighth, so I learned naturally. ”

The reporters who asked the words of marble were surprised, as were the parents of marble. The journalist searches his bag, pulls out a magazine, opens the page, and says,

“Are your parents’ names really Han Minji and Lee Hyun-woo? ”

“Yes.”

“Well, I guess my parents will have to do the interview, too. Once I finish my interview with Young-seok, Haha.”

The journalist who made a big smile asked again.

“Is tennis fun? ”

What, are magazine interviews supposed to be like this? Maybe we should ask about the future aspirations, the outcome of the match. ’

The marble was vague to a question that seemed childish, but it was a marble illusion. As much as covering children, it was natural to ask this question.

“Of course it’s fun. I want to keep going. ”

In response, the reporter hesitated for a long time to write a note and asked again.

“Last question. What kind of player do you want to be? ”

“Well, I want to be a good player. ”

I thought about it for a moment, but it wasn’t a question of what kind of athlete I wanted to be, and she answered simply because it was so vague.

“You’re right, haha…. ”

The reporter smiled and took a few more pictures of marble. He was a little annoyed, but earnestly asked to smile with a gold medal.

The journalist took a picture of a marble and ran to his parents and asked them many questions. Jinhee came up to Lee, who was looking back at him, and said while running.

“Cool!! Nice marble!! ”

“Thank you.”

He hugged Jinhee and replied.

Considering that the legs have moved well since saving this child, this child is no different from a savior.

“Woohoo!”

Jinhee said, out of the arms of marble, whether it was frustrating.

“I want to play tennis too! ”

“What?”

Both her and Jinhee’s parents were surprised and stared at Jinhee dazed.

“I’ll do it! Mom! Buy me some tennis! ”

Jinhee ran to her mother in hordes.

The reporter approached marble and said, “How did you finish the interview?”

“I’m going to publish an article in a magazine next month. I’ll take you home. Read it. I’ll see you later. ”

Then he disappeared like the wind.

That day, Young-goon and Jinhee held a victory celebration while grabbing the ribs.

“I need to talk to you again. ”

After winning, it became Sunday morning the next day.

My father sat down and opened his mouth. It is a symptom that will continue the story not long ago.

My mother also carefully sat next to my father. Mother was usually generous, but respected Father carefully and thoughtfully on important matters.

Tak.

My dad put something on the table.

“Business card?”

When the marble asked with his eyes, my father replied.

“On the day of the match, I was talking to Sun Sun Warrior, and all the national school directors gave me a business card. I want you to transfer.”

“You did?”

I looked at each of them one by one with my business card in my mind as if it were a surprise to Mother.

“At this point, I can’t help but admit that it’s not a lie at all. ”

“Then can I continue with the story? ”

“Yes.”

The quartz immediately opened its mouth.

“I’m not going to be in school. ”

He mumbled as he wept.

“Well, then my house won’t have a typical graduation photo. ”

“Instead, you’ll be taking pictures of your family with trophies from all major competitions. I have to.”

“ ……. ”

The adamant words of marble made my parents feel overwhelmed.

In fact, they did not feel this objection to the demands of marble because they had stepped on Korea’s best elite courses.

If what he said was true, he stepped on top of the world, and his grudge to challenge again was great. Compared to that, Korea’s leading university is just a faded nameplate. Aim for 1% of narrow water and purr to the top of the world is different. However, this conversation with other people’s children that they will not have in their lifetime is only strange.

“Anything else? ”

My mother asked.

“Florida. You have to go to Florida at least once a year. ”

“America?”

“Yes, I know there’s a training institute for athletes with the most systematic systems in the world. ”

“It’s a novice. I’ve been playing tennis for over a decade, but I’ve never heard of it…. How do you know that, marble?… Ah! I’ve known you my whole life. ”

After hanging up for a moment, my father opened his mouth again after drinking a cup of tea in front of me.

“But will the things in the world that you used to know still be available in 1991? ”

“ ……. ”

When my father mumbled and got to the point, marble flinched.

Clearly, this is not the time to go online and tell everyone a few times. The errors and disturbances in the information were also worrying about quartz.

“Well, we can figure that out. Somehow.”

“Let’s get this straight. ”

My mother raises her eyes sharply.

“I want to make use of my school days as your time… Does that mean I dare to give up my junior tennis department? Well, let’s just say there’s only so much supervision left in college. Yes, you’re right about that marble. How many competitions have you won? Well… I don’t need that either. Not even a 250 ATP tournament can help you join the unemployment team. Hmm… Yes. The rest of you, however, have to focus first on the fact that you’re going to be spending your school years in your own way. ”

“Yes.”

“Well……. ”

The stone body of seeing the parents who were struggling to think with wrinkles on their foreheads trembles like an aspen. It’s not because I’m afraid or burdened. After the competition, there is talk. The mindset is open and the reason is broad. It was not easy to switch accidents just by showing performance. Meeting these parents is a marble that thinks it’s the best blessing in life.

“Got it. We’ll discuss it first and then talk to you. It’s late. Go to sleep. ”

“Yes.”

After a long time after the marble entered the room, I didn’t know that the fire in the living room was extinguished.
