“Senior, are you here?”

“Oh, good morning.”

Two men wearing uniforms with the Taegeukgi on their chests entered a small booth holding cups of coffee.

He was a caster and commentator who broadcast track and field events.

The two prepared for the game by looking at the player list.

“Don’t you think today will be fun?”

“Because of 5,000 meters?”

“Yes. There’s already a huge reaction on the Internet right now.”

“Is that why you’re saying that, revenge or something?”

“Yes, that’s right. Tae-ha and the player were unfairly eliminated, but we’re going to face each other in the finals.”

“I know it’s become a hot topic, but I don’t have high expectations.”

“Why? Han Seok-jae’s performance was also good.”

“That’s true, but he’s not at the level to win a medal.”

“Is that so?”

“You don’t even play as a child, you start late. No matter how talented you are, the world stage called the Olympics is not an easy place.”

“Well, since you showed me something, I’m looking forward to it.”

The commentator frowned, not liking the caster’s opinion.

“To be honest.”

He added, throwing the player profiles on the desk.

“I don’t really like that guy.”

“Are you Han Seok-jae?”

“Oh. What do you mean, you go around pretending to be an artist or something?”

“He was originally a contemporary artist. Now he has transitioned to being an athlete.”

“It’s not like it’s a complete conversion. Didn’t you post anything related to modern art recently?”

“Yes. I uploaded a piece of art before leaving the country.”

That was Bae Jeong-min’s work.

He confessed to a female gamer he met in Lineage M by doing a drone show, got criticized, and then lied about it, saying it was art.

“Anyway, if you’re an athlete, you have to focus on your sport seriously.”

“That’s true, but in the current situation where Tae Ha-rang, who was a promising track and field athlete, was unfairly eliminated, he is the only hope.”

In track and field, South Korea’s only gold medal was in the marathon.

That was decades ago.

That is why it was a sport that neither experts nor the public had high expectations for.

It was inevitable that I wanted revenge on Tae Ha-rang.

“At least I hope that Chinese player wins.”

“Qingpioling?”

“yes.”

“But it’ll be hard. That guy’s physique is so out of the ordinary.”

At 195cm, he is very muscular.

My mother was a gymnast and my father was a marathon runner.

Because among the 1.4 billion Chinese people, he is the best at running 5000 meters.

Although this is his first Olympic appearance, he has already won a bronze medal at the World Championships.

“Rather, that guy is being called a gold medal candidate, but it won’t be easy for him to win.”

“Still, as a citizen of the Republic of Korea, I will try to cheer you on.”

“I should do that when I’m broadcasting too, you know.”

After a while.

The camera lights up.

The athletes entered the track.

“Now, Han Seok-jae is coming in.”

“Yes. He is a proud representative of the Republic of Korea.”

The caster appeared professional, but the commentator, who was a former player, was not a professional, so his personal feelings were revealed to some extent.

“It would be nice if you did well, but if you expect too much, it can become a burden.”

Rather than giving ignorant compliments, I spoke realistically.

“Because the Olympics are meaningful to participate in.”

“Still, I believe you can do well.”

However, the caster cheered for Han Seok-jae.

“If you started late, it means you have talent.”

Although their opinions clashed, they continued their discussion naturally and professionally.

“Personally, I would like to prove the potential of the Republic of Korea. Proof that Koreans can win medals in track and field.”

“Just being able to participate in the finals is amazing.”

“It would be even better if we could win a medal.”

After a while, the players took their starting positions.

Taang-!

The players started running with the sound of a gunshot.

“Okay, the game begins.”

“The 5,000-meter race is a long-distance race. It is standard to maintain a moderate pace in the beginning to build up stamina, and then sprint at the end.”

“Yes, that’s right. Of course, even if you maintain a reasonable pace, it’s on a whole other level than normal running.”

“That’s right. It takes a little over 13 minutes to cover 5,000 meters, which works out to 23 km/h.”

“It’s the level of normal people sprinting.”

“Yes.”

The relay team started with a basic explanation.

The long-term game is not one that is tense and tight throughout the game. It is a style that is loose in the beginning and then makes you sweat in the latter half.

“uh?”

At that moment, the relay team burst into a suspicious death.

“Just a moment. One of the players is suddenly getting ahead.”

“I see the Taegeukgi of the Republic of Korea. It’s Runcaban… no, it’s Han Seok-jae!”

While everyone is running together to maintain a suitable speed and conserve stamina.

Han Seok-jae started running along the track alone.

“What a new strategy! You’re keeping your distance from the start?”

The caster burst into elasticity.

“What do you think of this strategy?”

“Oh, it’s ambiguous.”

The commentator revealed his discomfort.

“If we do this, we will inevitably end up in a slump in the second half.”

“Is that so?”

“Of course. There’s always a reason why players don’t do something. Do you think coaches and managers are stupid enough to not use such strategies?”

“Isn’t it possible because it’s Han Seok-jae?”

“I don’t think so.”

The commentator pointed to the screen as if he had expected this.

“Look over there. That Korean coach behind you. Doesn’t he look flustered?”

“Oh, I see.”

The caster took a deep breath.

“Still, I think that Mr. Han Seok-jae made a good move.”

The 5,000 meter race requires a total of 25 laps around a 200 meter track.

“Jump, Han Seok-jae, jump! Keep jumping!”

Han Seok-jae took the lead and overtook the runners who were behind.

And surprisingly.

Naturally, I mixed in with the other players.

To be exact, he was running in the middle of the leading group.

“Doesn’t anyone see that you’re the one who ran the first lap?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

20 laps.

15 laps.

10 laps.

“South Korea’s Han Seok-jae! He still hasn’t lost.”

“The other players probably have no idea.”

“Didn’t you see him run first?”

“I saw it at first. But long-distance running is a battle with yourself. It’s important to control your pace, so you don’t have time to worry about external factors.”

“You don’t know that Han Seok-jae has already completed one lap and joined the group.”

“That’s right. I think the person who runs first will naturally lose stamina and be defeated.”

“What that means is that if player Han Seok-jae doesn’t have enough stamina, he won’t be able to move······.”

“Yes. While other players are doing 24 laps, I am doing 25 laps by myself!”

Surprisingly, Han Seok-jae did not spread.

Before they knew it, the players had only six laps left.

“Ha Seok-jae is the only player with 5 laps left?”

“Yes, that’s right.”

“Okay, players, let’s sprint!”

“Wow! Han Seok-jae is not far behind!”

“In the leading group that is sprinting, we are actually competing for rankings!”

The caster was already going crazy.

The commentator who had been jealous of Han Seok-jae also began to gradually become more patriotic.

“Wow! Is this possible?”

“I’ve seen this for the first time in my 50 years of life as a player, coach, manager, and commentator!”

“The leading group has been reduced to four people. At first glance, it looks like the four are competing for gold, silver, and bronze, but······.”

“Han Seok-jae is already one lap ahead!”

“you’re right!”

4 laps.

3 laps.

2 laps.

1 lap.

“This is the last lap!”

Han Seok-jae crossed the finish line mixed in with the leading group.

The commentators and casters jumped to their feet and expressed their joy.

“Han Seok-jae! You’ve won the gold medal!”

“The first gold medal in track and field for South Korea!”

“That’s right! Son Ki-jeong ran while wearing the Japanese flag during the Japanese colonial period!”

“Officially, this is South Korea’s first gold medal!”

Their enthusiasm was short-lived, however, as soon questionable deaths began to emerge.

“Hey, what is this?”

“Player Han Seok-jae won’t stop?”

“It keeps running? Why is that?”

“Have you forgotten that you overtook a lap?”

“No way.”

As the two’s doubts grew.

The camera zoomed in, revealing Han Seok-jae’s face.

“Oh, what is this?”

“Han Seok-jae is smiling!”

“You’re laughing so viciously! Does that mean anything?”

***

“Is there a reason you ran one more lap at the end? Have you forgotten?”

“No. Am I stupid? Forget that.”

“Then why did you run?”

“When I was the fourth of the four that ran together, how were the players in front of me?”

“Everyone was happy.”

“They were happy because they thought they were gold, silver, and bronze medalists. In reality, they were silver, bronze, and fourth place medalists.”

A faint smile appeared on my lips.

The reporter was embarrassed.

“Then surely······.”

“Yes. I want to see that.”

“······Why on earth.”

“Isn’t that fun?”

The 4th place athlete gestures for the national flag, thinking he has won the bronze medal.

The second place athlete proudly waves one of his index fingers toward the camera, thinking he has won the gold medal.

It was so funny to see that.

I was already out of breath, and I almost suffocated from laughing.

“What a great person.”

The reporter asked with an exclamation of admiration.

“I’d also like to hear a word about your victory. How are you feeling now?”

“Personal feelings?”

“Yes. You can tell me briefly.”

“Is this going to be broadcast worldwide?”

“Yes, it will be conducted live in real time.”

Then I have something to say.

“It’s unfortunate that Tae-ha and the other players were not able to finish yesterday. I saw the Chinese players push.”

“yes?”

“So I have something to say.”

“······?”

A look of confusion appeared on the reporter’s face.

What kind of accident will happen

“Fucking China. Taiwan Number One. Free Tibet.”

“······!”

“China loves Tiananmen. But these words are also censored, so they can’t see them. It’s a shame. Incidentally, the feelings of Qing Pioling, a Chinese athlete who came in fourth and didn’t win a medal, are the same as mine.”

The reporter hurriedly blocked my path and snatched the microphone away from me.

“Yes, it was Han Seok-jae so far. Thank you.”

In an instant, the red light on the camera went off.

The coaches and staff came running.

“Han Seok-jae, are you crazy? The medal could be revoked. What are you talking about?!”

“Still, I have to say what I have to say.”

Because I am the type of person who can’t live without patience.

“If I have to remain silent in order to receive just one medal and see something that goes against the Olympic spirit, I will return the medal. How can I remain silent when I see biased judging?”

“You and Taeha aren’t on good terms either, right?”

“It’s not for Tae Ha-rang. It’s because of the things I overlooked that it piled up and led to this situation.”

“Even if that’s true······.”

“The IOC committee was asked to watch this video and reflect on it. How can they talk about the Olympic spirit and all that when they made such a crappy decision?”

I took out the gold medal I was wearing around my neck and threw it away.

“Fucking Olympics. These medals aren’t worth it.”

I threw my medal and left the awards ceremony.

***

“Hey, you crazy kid!”

As soon as I finished the interview and left, Bae Jeong-min ran towards me with glaring eyes.

“Are you serious?”

“I’m tired. Can you give me a drink?”

“Anyway, that crazy guy······.”

He opened the cap of the sports drink and handed it to me.

“Were you serious about that?”

“It was broadcast live around the world, and you’re asking if I’m serious?”

“okay.”

He chuckled.

“Am I crazy?”

“then?”

“It’s a performance.”

“······what?”

“Hey, think about it carefully.”

This interview will not be broadcast only in our country.

Of course it will become a hot topic and a topic of discussion all over the world.

Even players who are insensitive to the issue cannot help but know.

The coaches will also be on high alert and will be warning all the athletes in the Olympic Village not to do that.

“No, but the camera was turned off during the important part?”

“Just because the live broadcast stops doesn’t mean the recording has stopped, I saw the cameras rolling.”

“······what?”

“Besides, how many citizens were there at the scene? While I was doing that shit, do you think not a single person took a picture?”

“That’s true······.”

“Then my name will be known?”

“Yes. I even know your face.”

“That’s my free pass!”

Olympic Village.

For the rest of my life, my face will soon become my business card.

It goes without saying that he is a gold medalist.

Since he even showed off his performance throwing the gold medal at the awards ceremony, other athletes couldn’t help but take interest.

“Hunting pocha······ No, there’s no need to go around the athlete’s village promoting yourself and appealing. If I just stay still, they’ll come to me.”

“······This guy is crazy.”

“Hehehe. I’m going to use all the condoms in the Olympic Village!”

Wait a minute, beauties of the world!

***

“······What is this?”

Things turned out differently than I had hoped.

I was just hoping to have a good time with the pretty ladies at the Olympic Village.

Public opinion on the Internet was different.

-Say what you want to say, Han Seok-jae’s cider!

-Wow, this is South Korea.

-It is a democratic republic ^^7

-It’s art.

-Every single comment is a gem.

-He’s not a modern artist for nothing.

-I actually ignored modern art until now, but after seeing it this time, I became a fan. I even made a reservation for the exhibition tomorrow.

-That’s so cool···.

It wasn’t just Korea.

Even the foreign media was in an uproar.

-Direct criticism of the gold medalist’s biased judgment!

-Respect Korea!

-While all world leaders were watching China’s suppression of public opinion, the South Korean athlete’s rebuke spread throughout the world.

-The aftermath of biased judging······What is the meaning of the Olympics?

-The storm of change in sports brought about by a small stone thrown by Han Seok-jae!

And that wasn’t all.

-Yongsan Presidential Office said) President Park Man-bong was so impressed by the interview that he will personally take a private plane to Qatar to encourage player Han Seok-jae···!

“What the fuck, what the hell is going on?”
