Chapter 9.1 - Physical Modification

When I arrived, my fatigue did not go away.

The group that arrived at home in the middle of the night all fell down again. Yeongseok and Jinhee in particular did not have the energy to share their bodies. After four weeks of intense training and resumption of tension, he was cut off as if the thread was broken.

I spent a few days doing so and greeted the weekend.

"Come on."

Pressing the bell outside, Yeong-seok opened the door and greeted Jin-hee.

Behind Jin Hee's parents were located.

Young-seok's parents were busy because of someone.

My mother was carrying food in the living room, and my father constantly made food in the kitchen.

"Huh! Can I go in? "

Jin-hee asked a question that didn't need an answer and came home coldly. Jin Hee's parents hesitated and came in. He had wine and liquor in his hands.

"Oh, come on, Jin- hee. We saw him a few days ago and missed us again. "

Young-suk's mother hugged Jin-hee.

"Hahaha, excuse me."

Jin-hee's parents stepped into the living room with a laugh.

Today is the day of Yeongseok and Jinhee's family gathering. After Jinhee's declaration of becoming a player, a meeting was needed to discuss the future schedule in earnest.

"Welcome ~!"

Young-seok's father came out of the kitchen. It was very nice to see the apron and the hands holding the dish containing delicious jjachae and yukbokki in both hands.

The meal continued satisfactorily. It was so delicious that Yeong Young-seok's father, Lee Hyun-woo, praised him.

"As you know, I want to discuss with you that Jin-hee wants to be a player."

After the meal, six people face-to-face with the tea and fruit in front of the meeting. The fire was opened by Jin-hee's father. Jin-hee's parents have lived a life that is not related to tennis and always consulted Young-suk's parents. There are laws to force Jinhee on their paths, but both of them love Jinhee terribly, so she wants to support her as much as her parents. Young-suk's parents were also willing to take care of and treat Jin- hee as my child, so Yang-ga was much more sticky than Young-seok and Jin-hee think.

"We are careful to leave everything to him. The school doesn't respect Young-suk's will. "

"Jinhee had recently sanctified that she would see a black notice like Young Suk. I'm a little worried about that. Is it really okay? "

Jin Hee's parents are very realistic.

If there are 100 parents with children, 99 people think similarly and live with similar support. That is true even if you include arts.

But Yeong-seok was a 1% exception. Nobody knows if that's really good. It's natural to worry about anxiety and behavior or a big problem in your child's career.

"Well, we've been thinking about it a few years ago… So far we have decided that it is not a problem. Yeong-seok passed the heavy sword, and now he is preparing a sword. The problem is college… … . "

Yes. University is a problem.

It is a university that is a cancer cell that is deeply rooted in Korea.

Sports players are no exception. There is a reason to write enemies in universities even though they have the skills to make the world work. Athletes and professional athletes who participate in the Olympics, the amateur festival, are no exception. All are done in the bosom of the university. Network, career, honor, etc… Korea is the only country that can't afford a college.

"University just studying ordinary and taking exams… You can go in sexually. "

At that time, Young-suk stooped in and said.

Youngsuk knows what Jinhee's parents are worried about.

If you dream of 'athlete,' you should be managed by belonging to the sports department in both middle and high school. Such children will be recommended and admitted if they perform at national scale competitions, either individual or group. In the meantime, ordinary people come and go with horrible corruption and secrets that they can't imagine. Even if there are pros, the unemployed team really follows the university's tag until it dies. Of course, if you win the medal at the Olympics because you are the best in Korea from the age of 17 and 8, the story will be different. Or if you are born and raised overseas, you may be an exception. The exception is when you have exceptional skills.

"You don't have to go to a university like Adeiba in this barren country. I don't need an unemployment team. Jin-hee and I are not bad in hair… For the past four years and two years, you just have to take a normal test and go to a place like physical education. If you want to do this too hard, you can just ignore college and concentrate on the competition. Every year, there are more than 80 competitions in the world, and if you leave results there, you'll be suspended from college later. "

Yeong-seok's words are certain, but he was gambling.

What if you don't perform on the world stage? Tennis must enter the competition at its own expense if an individual does not have a contract with the company. Because the cost is not formidable, many Korean athletes are tied to the unemployment team. If you're on a jobless team, don't worry about your livelihood.

"The cost is… I'm sorry but I have to rely on my parents. "

Young Suk calmly spits out.

Because I am confident. Yeong-seok himself, as well as Jin-hee, grow smoothly and sharpen their skills, and the ATP250 competition can be won within 10 years. 10 years training fee and how do you pay the lesson fee? So Young-suk insists he doesn't have to go to school anymore. The cost of a student to become a player is similar to whether he goes to school or not. It's better not to go around because you don't need to be stressed over useless things. Moreover, tennis is not a group sport, it's an individual sport.

"80? Do you open so much? Please explain in detail. "

Jin-hee's mother opened her eyes and asked Youngsuk. Jinhee also looked at Yeong-seok, whether he was curious.

"Wait."

Yeong-seok came out with a big sketchbook out of the room.

He began to explain by tapping on the table in the living room and writing it by hand.

"On tennis, you only have to know two things. ATP and ITF. ATP Men's Professional Tennis Association… Oh, Jin-hee is a woman, so you and me can memorize WTA and ITF. In any case, these organizations host the competition every year. There are a lot of competitions, each of which has a 'grade'. "

"ranking?"

Everyone was interested in the explanation.

"First of all, Futures and Challenger are divided into two."

Young-seok, who assumed that the term itself was unfamiliar to the general public, calmly explained.

"There are more detailed categories of challengers, but you don't have to know them all. Once I win the competition, I have points. "

Young Suk's eyes turned to Jin-hee's parents.

Indeed, they only had to seek their understanding.

"The world rankings are determined by the sum of the points of the 18 best-performing competitions of all the competitions the player has played in a year. Would you like to win a competition that gives you as many points as possible? Of course, the bigger the points, the higher the players' level. Wimbledon, as we know it, is one of the four tournaments with the largest hanging point of 2,000. In addition… … . "

Yeong-seok's explanation continued after that.

"… So in the case of Jinhee or me, you have to go around the world to get points. This is the life of professional players. "

Yeong-seok also explained the size of each prize and the contract with the company.

All of them were surveyed in Florida, and Yeong-seok himself was curious.

After that, six people continued to discuss without knowing how to go. The wine and liquor brought by Jin Hee's parents did not come out of the package.
