# 110 >

With Taeha.

“He’s a national representative?”

“uh.”

“How are you doing?”

“But I think it will do well since it is number one in our country.”

Knock knock knock.

Bae Jeong-min quickly typed on the keyboard.

“Oh, awesome.”

He opened his eyes wide and recited his resume.

“1st place in the National Sports Festival, 3rd place in the Asian Games.”

“Fuck.”

It’s going better than I thought.

“11th place at the World Championships, 8th place at the last Olympics.”

“Still, it’s a bit weak in the world?”

“At that time, I was number one among Asians.”

“This is fucked up.”

“You’re the one who’s fucked.”

“······.”

It’s the golden answer.

But we can’t back out here.

“You’re doing well, but to be honest, aren’t you ultimately failing to prove anything on the world stage?”

“If you tell that to others, it’ll be a big problem?”

“Why? It’s not like Taeha and I have a fandom.”

It’s not like there are fights between fans of one soccer player and fans of another.

“But there are a lot of people who are drunk on patriotism.”

“······ah.”

“It’s amazing that you went to the Olympics. You did your best, that’s all that matters. That’s what they say.”

I shook my head.

“To be honest, I don’t understand that either.”

“What else?”

“No, I went out because I wanted to do well and because it was my job, so why are you acting like that alone gives me the right to avoid being criticized?”

It’s a long thought.

“Not just Tae-ha-rang, but look at sports players. The days of doing well at the Olympics and promoting national prestige are over.”

“That’s right. Because South Korea’s technology, infrastructure, and culture actually help elevate the country.”

“But for example, look at soccer players. They go to foreign teams because they want to play for famous teams and make a lot of money.”

“That’s not wrong.”

“In the end, it’s about building your own wealth, and going to the Olympics and World Cup as a national representative is for your career.”

“Isn’t there also something to be said for running for one’s country?”

“That’s the thing about sports. It’s not just about being good at something, it’s about being popular in order to make money, so you need to manage your image.”

“That makes sense.”

“But you can’t criticize someone just because they became a national representative? That’s not right.”

As I talk, steam starts to build.

“Hey, and besides, if you win a medal at the Olympics, you get an exemption.”

“Yeah. But that’s the rule.”

“The reason this regulation was established was to promote national prestige, so what about raising national prestige through movies and songs?”

“I guess that’s because sports and culture are different.”

“That’s funny too.”

The veins in my neck stood out.

“For example, A is born with incredible badminton skills. B is unstoppable in wrestling. He is the best in the country.”

In Korea, both are sports.

“A won a gold medal at the Asian Games, and B became the best player in the country.”

“A will be exempted.”

“Okay. B has to go to the military. Is that fair?”

I think it’s unfair.

“Both are sports, but I wonder if it is fair to exempt them from military service just because one sport is a little more famous in the world.”

The words came out like a stream of water.

“Look at horseback riding. The skill of leading a horse is important, but frankly speaking, it is a sport where the most important thing is what kind of horse you ride. So is it really fair that a sport where being born into a wealthy family increases your chances of winning a medal?”

Bae Jeong-min coldly grabbed my shoulder.

“Stone.”

“why?”

“I understand what you mean, but don’t say things like that outside.”

“This won’t work either?”

“Oh, I’m getting hit.”

It’s not at the level where malicious comments are posted.

“Someone might come and terrorize you.”

“Is that all?”

“Oh, no.”

“I feel wronged.”

“It’s a shame you got kicked out of the military, but that’s the way the world is.”

shit.

“Then, in the end, doesn’t that mean you shouldn’t criticize Taeha?”

“yes.”

No matter what level you are in the world, Korean culture is like that.

“Besides, the prevailing opinion is that if you get first place among Asians, you did well.”

“Shit. Sports are about overcoming physical ability. When playing soccer, if a Western attacker goes up against an Asian goalkeeper, does he kick the ball slowly?”

“But Taeha’s parents once said something about that in a lecture.”

“lecture······?”

“Oh, this is a bit embarrassing to say.”

Bae Jeong-min scratched his head awkwardly.

“I saw it in a motivational lecture.”

“Those guys give motivational lectures?”

“uh.”

The guy showed me a list of videos.

“There are more than one or two lectures?”

“That’s right. He sells his son’s status as a national representative and goes around giving lectures like this a lot.”

wait for a sec.

This would be a different story.

“I am the bad guy.”

“······okay?”

Even the sales pitch is so dirty I could die.

Not even me, but my successful ‘son’s’ arm?

“If we do it right, the right to a bag might disappear.”

Bae Jeong-min said, taking off his glasses.

“But there is something I remember.”

“What is it?”

“They say that you can overcome many things with effort, but genes and DNA are things that cannot be overcome.”

“Tell me more.”

“I raised my son to be a national runner and he worked incredibly hard, but they said there were limits to Asian genes.”

“So no matter how hard you try, you can’t overcome your genes?”

“That’s right. It’s obvious that Asians can’t win the Olympics. So don’t doubt that I raised my son to be the best, that’s what I’m saying.”

“You little swindler.”

It’s not 100% wrong.

There are certainly talents in this world that cannot be overcome through effort.

But that’s not the story we have between Asians and Westerners, at least in sports.

“This makes the picture look better.”

“What are you going to do?”

“If I had been a good national representative, I would have tried to apologize politely.”

He twitched the corners of his lips.

“I want to spit in the faces of Tae Ha-rang and his parents who are crying that even 8th place is good.”

“······no way.”

“I just need to get first place.”

5000m run.

If I could win a gold medal in the event that Tae Ha-rang said an Asian could never win first place in, I could hold Tae Ha-rang’s nose in check and stop those swindler parents from selling their sports.

“How are you going to get first place?”

“I have overwhelming talent.”

“······No, are you crazy? You’re contradicting yourself.”

“Oh, well, race and talent are two different things anyway.”

“I think this kid has a problem with his intelligence······.”

That kind of thing is fine.

“Oh, there’s the Olympic national team trials coming up.”

“······It’s here again.”

“The association is very clean, just like the archery association. They only select members based on their skills transparently.”

Selecting two national representatives to go to the Olympics.

One person will be selected based on performance in national and world competitions over the past two years.

Another person will be chosen as the player who placed first in this preliminary round.

In addition, all other standing forces will be selected in this competition.

“There is nothing to worry about.”

-Your application has been completed.

“······Do you have no back?”

“There is no way ahead.”

“Yeah······. That’s right, Han Seok-jae.”

Bae Jeong-min shook his head as if he couldn’t say anything.

“Ah, there are only two months left until the preliminary round. There won’t be much time left until I can pinch your nose.”

I’m already looking forward to it.

But Bae Jeong-min struck first.

“But we won’t be able to meet anyway?”

“why?”

“I told you he’s the top in the country?”

“ah······.”

Even if you don’t participate in the preliminary round, you can be selected for the national team based on your scores.

“Would you come out?”

“It won’t come out. But if you make it come out, it will.”

“······?”

“You can just provoke him.”

I logged on to SNS.

[Tell Tae Ha-rang.]

-Stop being a jerk and come out and let’s have a go.

(Photo from the 5000m running trials)

If you’re scared, just run away.

***

“There is no such thing as a fool.”

Taeha-rang was so excited.

“What kind of sport would a painter who only does art in the corner of his room play······.”

“Don’t worry too much.”

The coach tapped Tae Ha-rang on the shoulder as he was running on the treadmill.

“I think the artist is just trying to raise his profile.”

“It’s already like that.”

“Because things are going well, flies are flocking to them.”

“I guess so?”

“uh.”

“If there’s a small problem······.”

-yongju4815: Wow, haha, this will be so much fun!

-hemoop : Hemoop! Hemoop!

-yeonri62: I’ll watch the game well ^^

-miracleboyz: Will you broadcast the preliminary round on TV? I want to watch it lol

-n9941_neonick: I heard you can also get on-site intuition?

The public is starting to expect it.

Taeha-rang couldn’t help but be conscious of the comments.

“Ah, I should have just endured it for nothing.”

“Don’t worry too much. It’ll be okay.”

***

Crunch crunch.

Crispy, crunchy.

“Why are you looking at me?”

He was lying on the sofa, munching on a snack, his head turned to the side.

Hong Ah-hyun has been staring at me for a long time.

“Are you too handsome? You’re not thinking about just jumping on him while Jeongmin isn’t around, are you? That won’t do.”

Hong Ah-hyun snorted as if she was annoyed.

“Why don’t you practice?”

“yes?”

“There is less than a month left until the national team selection.”

“Is there still that much left?”

“That’s all there is left.”

Hong Ah-hyun stuck her head out as if she wanted to look into my head.

“What on earth are you thinking, that you’re just joking around? This time, it’s not even art, it’s real.”

“Well. Mind control?”

“No, even if you run a marathon, you start working out three months in advance.”

“But I find it a bit bothersome to practice. I don’t really like running.”

“······You’re not doing this on purpose to get cursed at by the people, are you?”

“Not at all.”

“Then let’s practice a little.”

“I’m talented, so I guess it’ll be okay?”

Sports is a field where talent is everything.

In that sense, my pheromones are invincible.

“Oh, I’ve lost the fun of trying. I’ll do well even if I don’t do it.”

“······.”

“Besides, if you become a national representative this time and win an Olympic gold medal, won’t you be flooded with advertisements?”

Then you’re sitting on a pile of money.

3 billion in the bank account?

‘It’s cute.’

It’s obvious that they’re going to make a lot of money by filming dozens of commercials.

“We’ll probably raise about 10 billion, and then we’ll be free.”

It could be the power of coins.

Since his talent has already been recognized, I think he could go out and play any sport and earn a salary in the hundreds of millions of won.

“Then shut up and practice a little.”

Hong Ah-hyun snatched the remote control and turned off the TV.

“Why don’t you go out and run around the Han River?”

“Oh, is this the help?”

Crack-!

I got hit in the back.

“Get out there and run!”

***

“Wow, the view is nice.”

Sizzle- sizzle-.

I walked around Hangang Park wearing baggy sweatpants and slippers.

“Oh, I don’t want to run.”

I didn’t feel like practicing, so I just kept walking and enjoying the scenery.

‘Wouldn’t it be okay to just kill some time and then go in?’

With that thought in mind, I put my hands in my pockets and wandered around for a while.

“oh.”

I noticed a striking woman jogging.

A tight-fitting bra top and leggings.

A well-toned body with neatly cut short hair.

“This is the Han River.”

What’s more serious is:

‘Why are you so pretty?’

It’s my style.

Living with Hong Ah-hyun, her standards have gotten considerably higher, but seeing her still look pretty, it is an undeniable fact that she is quite pretty.

I followed her as if I was possessed.

Knock. Knock. Knock.

One is running.

Strolling around.

One of them was wearing slippers, so the distance between them was bound to increase.

‘I can’t keep up if I walk.’

Eventually, I also started to run a little bit.
