Chapter 53.3 - Butterfly Effect # 3

"Director, what are you talking about? Why is form suddenly retired? "

Perhaps because of the confusion of his head, the usual tone was broken. Hanwoojin was so embarrassed. In fact, he was more embarrassed than anyone else.

Kim was another active player for the next three years. It was in 2007 that I reached my highest ranking, and two more years later I made several active records.

But suddenly retirement. No matter how much the change of Han Woo-jin and Choi Yeon-hyuk changed the history, how many years did one player retire?

'… Not too. No matter how I think about it, I have never heard of retirement at this time. '

The same was true of the memory over and over again. Han Woo-jin noticed that the unknown news was the history of his intervention. I don't know what the reason is, but Kim Hyung has been working for a long time due to the change of herself or Choi Yeon Hyuk.

I'm trying to reduce it.

[That way. I don't know English either. Although he's old enough, he's not going to be retired for good reason. ]

Jeon Sang-sik also seemed very embarrassed by his sudden resignation. The sound of the beating in the voice over the phone remained the same, but the tail was subtle. Hanwoojin has nothing to say

I was in trouble.

But even for a while, the former director turned the topic to another if he was supposed to postpone the unanswered worries.

[Well, let's talk about forms later. Anyway, the reporter told me that you're coming to interview next week, so let's talk about it again. know?]

"Yes, bishop. See you next week. "

Han Woo-jin put his cell phone in his bag. Obviously the story is over, but the content of the painting did not go away.

Kim's retirement. I had never thought about it. Although Han Woo-jin and Choi Yeon-hyuk emerged to prevent the stagnation of Korean tennis, Kim's presence was by no means inferior to them.

I got on a car with my family when I finished organizing my luggage. In the car going home, Hanwoojin sighed as he watched the dimly lit landscape.

'Hu, are you going to be changed one by one like this?'

It was a story that Hanwoojin didn't know in detail, but the term butterfly effect existed in physics.

It is a scientific theory that butterfly wings in Brazil may generate tornadoes in Texas in the United States. It's also a term that describes the ever-changing weather capacities that never change, even with very small variables.

This means that errors can occur.

Of course, this theory does not really explain that butterfly wings lead to tornadoes. Originally called gulls, not butterflies, they were replaced by butterflies for aesthetics.

The term "butterfly effect" really means a big change caused by small variables. Hanwoojin's return to the past with the memories of future memories and systems means that he has now made the world so different from before.

Also did.

Han Woo-jin, who was staring out the window for a while, remembered some of what the former director had said.

'You said it came out as an article? Then you can find it in the sports newspaper. '

In terms of Korea's most famous sports newspaper, there was only one candidate.

Sports Korea, a newspaper company that delivers detailed information on all sports in Korea. Major sports such as football and baseball, as well as basketball, volleyball, tennis and ping pong. Isn't it the best in Korea?

The news was even rumored to be unreliable.

Han Woo-jin looked at both pockets of the vehicle to recall his usual memory. The two nets attached to the back of the front seats contained maps and candy bags, respectively. The sports newspaper he was looking for was folded in half behind a tightly placed map.

촤

The crumpled newspaper spread out and made a loud noise. Han Woo-jin turned over pages 4 and 5 about soccer and baseball, and flipped over page 9 with news about tennis.

In time, the article he was looking for caught my eye.

* * *

Three days have already passed since the day of the fellowship event.

Han Woo-jin, who was walking around the house and waiting for the coach's contact, could not receive his call until Wednesday. The NK ship building, now more familiar than the house, welcomed him.

The Squad Building, which was built on NK Corporation's massive subsidies, had many empty rooms. Most of them were used for warehouses, but some rooms had basic furniture and were used for rest rooms and offices.

And Hanwoojin met with a reporter dispatched from Sports Daehan today was one of those neglected rooms.

"Five! Nice to meet you, Hanwoojin! My name is Hyuk Joon Kwon from Sports Korea. "

The two met across the table and shook hands with their usual greetings. The palm of a man who lived with a pen and a man with a racket was very strange to each other. Hanwoojin first puts his back behind him

Ass on sofa edge lying on

It was Kwon Hyuk-joon's first mouth. He opened his mouth, revealing his face with no excitement. It was a bit burdensome to stick my face forward.

"So let's start with the basic question first. I heard you made your professional debut in the first half of this year. Have you been playing tennis since then? "

"Yes, elementary school… No more than that. I learned tennis since I was able to hold my racket by hand. "

"Oh, it must have been a big influence on my parents. You both go to clubs every weekend? "

"I can't say no. They've been to honeymoons and grand slams. "

Han Woo-jin had a bitter smile without me knowing. The child born through the honeymoon was his own feelings. The racket lost in the past was also signed at that time.

The two talked about it like this. The questions to go out of the article were few, and others were caused by Kwon's personal interests. Is Max Muller really a win?

Though. As a veteran of a well-known newspaper, Kwon, Hyuk-Jun opened the words of Han Woo-jin with his skillful speech.

Hanwoojin, who didn't know how to go for a long time, opened up his mouth because there was something to come up. All of them have advanced to the semifinals and are being interviewed or asked for coverage. I was curious about what interest Choi Yeon-hyuk, who had even runner-up to, won.

"Hey, reporter Kwon. There is no news about the history, are you preparing a column? "

"Yeah? Choi Yeon-hyuk? "

Kwon Hyuk-joon inquired as if he heard a surprising sound. It was a reaction that Hanjin did not expect at all. He looked as if what he was talking about.

Hanwoojin, have you heard anything from your manager?

"What is that… ? "

When Han Woo-jin showed signs of not knowing, Kwon Hyuk-joon looked around with a slightly embarrassed face. Of course, there couldn't be anyone else in the room lined with just a few pieces of furniture, and he finally sighed and reacted to his reaction.

Explained to me.

"I talked to Agent Bun, but Choi Yeon-hyuk is not in Korea right now. So there's no way to report or interview. "

"Yeah? Overseas? "

What are you talking about? Hanwoojin's eyes widened round. How long have they been home?

He and Choi's season ended with the Tokyo Open. Even if you stretch out like you're dead, you're leaving the country. That's right after the ATP500 league runner-up, a stroke in Korean tennis history.

Kwon, Hyuk-jun also shrugged his shoulders as if he did not know the meaning. Han Woo-jin wondered why there was a reason for Choi to go abroad, but nothing came to mind.

'This is a question that's not answered here. I'll have to call you later. '

Unless you asked the person directly, the reason was unknown. Han Woo-jin decided to talk about what he originally wanted to ask Kwon, rather than wasting time struggling with Choi's departure.

"We change topics. Kwon, have you recently reported Kim Hyung-soo? "

"Ah yes. It should have been in an issue published last Saturday. "

"… Can you tell me a bit about Kim's retirement? I read all the articles, but I usually have a lot of expressions. "

"Hmm."

Kwon Hyuk-joon paused for that question. Whether or not he recalls his memory when he interviewed Kim, he started talking with his open eyelids.

"I've been dedicated to reporting Kim's form since quite a long time ago. Is it about six years this year? That's why I'm close personally, and I see a lot more than others. "

Han Woo-jin quietly listened to him. Sometimes he turned his head and expressed affirmation, but he didn't do anything stupid enough to break the flow of conversation by putting up a bold impression.

"Maybe it's been around last year. The friend who was always full of energy was not motivated by spirit. The expression was heavy, and I was always attracted to the light feet. It was too serious to be a temporary slump. "

Korea's No. 1 spot, Korea's best tennis player.

Ironically, the expression was not just a tribute to Kim. At the time, there was no one who could replace him in Korea, and Kim was the only player on the world stage.

However, even the best in Korea was only slightly superior at the world level. As the burden increased, the vitality of the body passed through the years.

"That was a difficult situation. As I tried not to retreat fiercely, the rankings climbed, and there was no sign of weakening my skills. But psychological fatigue would have been more than that. "

Non-alcoholic stocks that are not well served in Korea. Even in such places, I have been carrying an endless burden in the name of representing the country. One year later, another year later, the body and mind were worn out like a stone carved out by the wind.

In spite of intense stress, he could not retire or make a sound. The reason was simple. Kim Hyung loved tennis so much. I wanted people in my home country to cheer tennis and try to grab their rackets.

But the limits come. While maintaining the nerves like a blade, I somehow aimed at the ATP500 and Tokyo Open. Someday, even before the day of the breakdown, I had to scrape away the life of the athlete, trying to leave something unreasonable.

In the original history that Han Woo-jin remembers, he stood on the court with all his energy until the end. Until the genius of Choi Yeon-hyuk came to ease his shoulders.

"But suddenly two people appeared. Han Woo-jin and Choi Yeon-hyuk. "

But that period was pulled. Choi Woo-hyuk, Han Woo-jin, revealed his existence faster than a year. Kim Hyung, who was pulling tension as if it was going to be cut off right now, was enough to unwind.

"Seoul Open and Tokyo Open. I lost my heart there when I defeated my juniors. The face of Kim Hyung-hyun who recently met looked more distracting than ever. "

"… i See."

Only then was Han Woo-jin convinced. Change of himself and Choi Yeon-hyuk, it hastened his retirement. And the judgment never contains negative emotions. If so, there was no reason to leave regret or regret in Kim's retirement.

I felt a little lighter in my mind.

This concludes the story between the two. The question and answer required for the article was over 30 minutes ago, and all the questions I wanted to ask were answered.

Hanwoojin was trying to give power to the palm of his hand on the armrest to get out of his seat.

"Oh, I saw one thing that Kim told me."

"Excuse me?"

It was a curious sound. Hanwoojin even bowed the upper body in front of what you want to say.

Soon a heavy voice came out of Kwon Hyuk-jun's mouth. The voice itself was not the weight. It was a weight in words, just a sentence.

"As a senior walked ahead, now I want to watch the back of two people."
