Chapter 55.3 - Beyond the equator # 3

"Well, it looks like Mr. Han doesn't know his position yet."

"What are you saying?"

To Han Woo-jin, who visited with a suspicious voice, the answer came back even more puzzled. He didn't know what was in English and tilted his head lightly. It was strange that the first-person partner welcomed him, but the dialogue continued.

Was not.

'Is there something wrong? No, Seyeon will take care of it. '

At first, he wanted to know that his inexperienced English was misinterpreting Marcos' words. But if there had been such a problem, Seon Yeon could not stand still. It would have naturally come forward to pull the story instead. That didn't mean that his interpretation and the present dialogue didn't quite go wrong.

When Hanwoojin really looked like there was no place for him, Marcos pointed his forehead with a slight exaggeration.

"Oh, I really don't know. Was it me like that last year? Hmm, this will make the story a little longer. "

He put his chin weight on the side of Daewoo Hanwoojin and leaned a little. There was a young man who felt as if he had just stopped by for a while and disappeared.

"Mr. Han is a pretty hot player these days. Well… The story started to turn around in November last year. "

"If it was November last year… ""

At the end of Marcos Hanwoojin recalled for a while. November 2006 marked the end of last season. And when I recall that time, there was only one thing that came to mind.

Tokyo Open, first ATP500 League The strongest monster I encountered in the quarterfinals.

""… Roger. "

"'That's it!'"

Marcos responded with a delightful gesture, picking up a murmur with a small voice. Hanwoojin shrugged his body without knowing how loud it was to answer the applause once.

Not knowing his reaction, Marcos began to vomit with a passionate gaze.

"It wasn't just a hot topic for the ATP500 League semifinalists. I don't want to dismiss Mr. Han, but I can see as many players as I can. "

"Umm."

It could have been rude, but Hanwoojin fluttered only once. Because it is true.

In fact, in Korea and the best rookies ever, it was a normal gifted person in a country classified as a tennis powerhouse. Han Woo-jin, who was only 20 or 21 years old, won the grand slam and won the championship.

It was just the Asian who showed it.

But this time, he added another variable.

One of the best players in tennis history is the variable named Roger Pedro.

"But the story was different if you had a problem with Roger. It's actually an ATP500, so it's not important. The few games played against the Emperor in front of me raised Mr. Han's rating. "

Only after listening to it did Han Woo-jin understand the situation he was in. Why couldn't Marcos' high-ranker come to him and show his interest, and he could understand the strange surroundings that he had felt before.

Are you talking a little bit different from the ugly black?

Han Woo-jin felt like someone else's story and thought.

A player named Roger Pedro attracts so much attention that even he who fights against him gets part of it. If I had fallen out of nothing, I wouldn't have done that, but I showed my ability to pull the tie break.

Those who were looking at your emperor just saw the eye.

'Besides,'

Pretending to look elsewhere for a while, Hanwoojin glanced at Marcos staring at him next door. From the beginning, his eyes were intense as if he had made a hole in his face. At first I wanted to be that person, but the world has no reason

It was hard to find attention or attention.

'Is it search? I'm sure I'm going to get all this stuff. '

The tail of the mouth wriggled. Do you think Hanwoojin, who used to see someone in the shadows every day, will be "searched" against the top rankers like Marcos? Because he was always looking up at the strong with a weak point of view

The feeling was deeper.

In the beginning, coming to the front to search for an opponent was the same act as acknowledging each other's equality. Marcos proved that Han Woo-jin was on the same stage as him in this one meeting.

"So, how do you feel about meeting the main character of the topic?"

Hanwoojin asked rather proudly. He faced Marcos from the front, facing his skin.

In his experience, not his experience, it was meaningless to bend in at this time. It is a situation where the opponent has already judged his or her equality. There was no need to lower or raise yourself.

""… haha! Oh, you've caught it! "

However, Marcos was not ordinary either.

He laughed excitedly by waving the flesh on the firm muscles. It's not cool to get rid of shichimi. Compared to a little fat body, the slender face was crumpled and stretched with a cheerful laugh.

And as he smiled for a while, he suddenly calmed his floating gaze, making a serious expression.

"Well, honestly, it was only interesting at first. Anyway, the player who once or twice promoted was widespread, and I thought it was a similar case again. By the way,""

Marcos moved his cold eyes around as if he was laughing brightly. His voice erased the cheerful spirit of his former voice and produced a cold, cold sound like the autumn wind.

""… Mr. Han showed me last year. "

Despite the muggy air, chills arose. Han Woo-jin felt overwhelmed by the atmosphere in which the player in front of her eyes was wrapped around. It wasn't just a win between players. It was an unusual level of fighting, which seemed to be standing.

Marcos woke up when Hanwoojin turned his head because he might know something more. He erased the frosty expression he had just been building and smiled back.

"'That's it, Mr. Han. Then let's meet at the finals. "

""Ah yes. Next.""

The changing expressions and moods drew Hanwoojin's thoughts. As he grabbed his natural hand and shook it once, Marcos frowned with a smile and walked toward the exit of the stadium. Looking at his back away

Hanwoojin just felt uncomfortable.

'Emotions are well revealed… I can't see you. '

Marcos did not hide his feelings all the time. When he was happy, he had a pleasant face, and when he was passionate, he writhed his entire face and even dropped his voice. If that was acting, there was no disagreement with the Raspberry Best Actor award. Face

There seemed to be quite a record, too.

Thinking about Marcos for a while, he realized that this was a waste. What do you have to do to make an uncertain guess?

Han Woo-jin opened his eyes to Shin Se-yeon, who was silent.

"Mr. Seyeon, can you tell me a little about Marcos?"

"Well… Personally, it's a little shocking that Ujin doesn't know Marcos Bodici. "

In fact, she had a bitter smile. Indeed, he seemed shocked by the fact that he did not know Marcos. Shin Se-yeon would be quite a player with such a reputation, but Han Woo-jin didn't really remember. Perhaps

It seemed to be one of the players he did not notice in the past.

Shin Se-yeon pulled out a file containing the profiles of the players seeded at Sydney International. Then he found the name of Marcos and pointed it out with his thin fingers.

"The debut year of Marcos Bodisie was 2003. It's 4 years this year. Born in 1985, ATP rankings are currently moving between 11th and 12th places. "

"Born in 1985 ?!"

The surprised Hanwoojin raised his voice. Is that really your face in your early twenties? Although there is a difference in age perception between Asians and Westerners, it was a face that could not be seen under the mid 20s. Look out the status window

The sound that did not leak into the temple came out of the lips.

Shin Se-yeon expressed his understanding of his reaction, but he continued to speak with his fingers as if it were not a file that he brought out to discuss it.

"It's not important. Mr. Woojin, do you know what made Marcos leap forward?

"what is that?"

She did not answer directly. Han Woo-jin quietly followed the white and thin index finger pointing to a part of the file. It was a file written only in English from the beginning to the end, but it was due to the fact that I learned from Shin Se-yeon.

There was no problem.

"This… "

Han Woo-jin could not speak.

This was enough to understand. I could understand that Shin Se-yeon was shocked because he didn't know Marcos. I wondered why I didn't have such a player in my memory.

VS Roger Fedro 7-5 / 5-7 / 0-6 / 2-6

* * *

Athletes in front of the competition have a toxic time. Han Woo-jin visited Sydney Olympic Park for an hour or two to watch the preliminary round and watch the court. But since that day he has not faced Marcos. Maybe a few days ago

'S encounter is indeed a rare occurrence.

And finally the finals of Sydney International begin today. His race, which was allotted to the rear of the game, had room for about an hour. Hanwoojin, who came early and had no intention of waiting in the hot air, went to a cafe near Olympic Park.

I was spending time standing up.

As he calmed his mind, he narrowed his eyes, reminding me of a few days ago.

'The runner up for the Australian Open last year… Is it only 20 years old? It's really ridiculous. '

Han Woo-jin felt cold. Speaking of grand slam, Korean players couldn't talk about it, and it was the stage that both East and West players dreamed of. The final destination of the tennis player is Grand Slam.

It is.

By the way, only 20 years old, runner-up on such a stage? It was also a runner-up because I met Roger at the end, and I would have won the championship if I played against other opponents. Every time I encountered this, I knew it was a waste.

However, it was inevitable that the power fell by itself.

As I remembered the player who reached the height at such a young age, there was another name that came to mind naturally. That was Lleyton Hewitt.

"Is he also ranked first in twenty? Ha, it's not funny at all. "

I tried to laugh but couldn't laugh. A gruesome sound flowed through the bite of the teeth. Excessive force in the jaw muscles has been a squeaking pain, but the head began to overheat, neglect that much pain.

What was 20-year-old Hanwoojin doing? Wasn't it the turn of the day that I did my best to make desperate struggles and take meaningless steps every day? As he rots in the gutter, someone shines through the path of glory

I was on my way.

Steadily.

I haven't stretched yet, but the muscles of my entire body start circulating my blood. The body responding to the emotional emotion urged the owner to move, just as the water of the boiling smelting furnace flowed down.

It was definitely a flawless best condition.

The vitality that overflowed the whole body made me realize it even without seeing the status window.

"… Let's go. "

It was time to move. His burly grasp grabbed the black racket bag he had placed on the chair. As usual, erasing a series of letters and numbers in his head, Han Woo-jin stepped forward to the arena waiting for him.
