“Real Man” Episode 16.
The day I was supposed to meet Park Young-hoon, a senior military officer, came.
Yoo Hyun stopped by the mart first.
Yoo Hyun, who entered the mart, put canned coffee on the counter.
Now, there was a smile on the face of the boss who recognized Yoo-hyun.
“Auntie, you must have bought new clothes.Purple goes well with your face color.”
“My son bought it for me anyway, but I’m so grateful that you recognized it.Oh, by the way, look at my sanity.Take this.”
“Something like this.It’s all right, auntie.”
“Just keep it because it’s an event product, okay? It’s because I really want to give it to you.”
It was a kitchen towel that Yoo-hyun didn’t need much, but I was grateful.
There is no reason for someone not to feel good when they take care of themselves like this.
After greeting, the lady murmured to herself as she looked at Yoo-hyun’s back.
“Oh, so pretty.How can he be so friendly and polite?”
Yoohyeon left the mart with a good heart.
Click.
I feel like a cool can of coffee cools my heart.
I hummed automatically.
Yoo-hyun, who put a kitchen towel in hIS bag, took the bus to the appointment place.
Yoo-hyun, who met Park Young-hoon, stopped by a pub after dinner.
“Who else comes all the way to buy me food and drinks?”
“Hey, I’m trying to get you hateful comments even after I buy you one.”
“Oh, boy. You’ve become so sly in a while.”In any case, if you get a job, you must take a certain portion of the profits from the fund.It’s all blood and flesh.”
Park Young-hoon was working for a well-known financial company in Korea.
I haven’t done anything special with my name because I haven’t had much annual leave yet.
However, based on what he saw and learned, he gave advice to Yoo Hyun, who had not even joined the company yet.
It was not a very helpful word for Yoo Hyun, who rolled according to the rules in society.
Still, it didn’t seem bad to try to help purely, not in his own interest.
It’s true that investment is also necessary.’
Yoo-hyun, who excluded money from the priority list, needed to invest a certain portion of the profits in case you didn’t know.
“Okay, have a drink.”
“Come on. One shot.”
Park Young-hoon was full of opportunities.
Yoo-hyun talked a lot with Park Young-hoon.
The story of the two locked up in the mountain and installed communication equipment, the guerrilla training and the cold weather training, which are still shaking.
The memories of shoveling for a month because of the serious construction, and even secretly working out to build a body.
Yoo-hyun was very excited by the memory of the army that came up when he spoke.
It was fascinating to think of it even after 20 years.
“To be honest, I was worried about you a lot.”
“Don’t worry.”
“I’m telling you. Is it time for you to stop Private?” After coming back from the vacation, my complexion was completely gone and I felt like I was going to fly.How cool the two of them are working at the guard post.”
“Why? In case I jumped?”
“No, I’m afraid you’ll shoot me.(Laughs.
Memories of the breathtaking past passed by in an unsympathetic joke.
It was when I was dispatched to work in the mountains with nowhere to hide.
I couldn’t sleep because I thought of a house with a red label every night, a mother’s face with mascara spread, and a father suffering from a debtor.
Life, which had to be worried in a limited environment, was pain itself.
Anxious thoughts became solid by creating a wall on their own, and Yoo Hyun was frustrated and frustrated hundreds of times a day in front of the wall he made.
At that time, it was a “success” to be a beacon to Yoo-hyun.
I thought success was the only way to escape the hellish life.
It was also at that point that he studied English all night in the military and set a goal of getting a job at a large company.
As I talk, I sort things out dimly.
It’s all just an excuse.’
It can be said that it is because of the specificity of the military, but perhaps even that is just an excuse he made.
If you trusted your family more, if you talked more, or if you called often, you didn’t have to moan to yourself like that.
Perhaps because of Yoo Hyun’s serious expression, Park Young-hoon tried to change the atmosphere.
“Do you remember that time?” I was training at the gym while watching the game between Hyodor and Cro Cop.”
“Did I?”
Of course I don’t remember exactly.
I only remember working out with Park Young-hoon at the gym.
“LOL, did you forget already? That was the most fun for me.I couldn’t do it because you suddenly went down. “
“You can do it with someone else, no way.”
“Hey, you were the only one who couldn’t avoid my fist.(Laughs.
“Ah.”
I know what you’re talking about it.
Even then, my eyes were good, so I could easily avoid a decent fist.
“Why don’t you come to our gym? Even if you pass the interview, you’ll have some time until you enter the company.”
“Where is it?”
“It’s not that far from where you live.Hold on.”
Park Young-hoon suddenly took a pamphlet from the bag next to him and handed it to him.
Under the cover of a muscular man wearing a glove, it said, “Specialized in heterogeneous martial arts.”
There seemed to be quite a few people who made their professional debut from this gym.
“It’s not dangerous at all.I’m telling you.”
“Hmm.”
It can’t be dangerous.
I wasn’t very interested in hitting and hitting from the beginning.
I have never learned boxing, let alone mixed martial arts.
He was most busy with his work at work, but his basic tendency was not to like rough exercise.
I wanted to learn how to exercise once.
“If so, just drop by.”I’ll tell you well.”
“…….”
When Yoo Hyun didn’t answer, Park Young-hoon kept releasing carrots.
I don’t know why you’re doing this.
I was curious.
It seemed meaningful to do something new because I wanted to live a different life.
Yoo Hyun replaced the answer by nodding his head lightly.
The next day, Yoo Hyun went to the gym where Park Young-hoon said, “Take it out while the iron is hot.”
I had to take a bus, but it was worth a 20-minute drive.
Of course, I didn’t know I would really go.
When I got off the bus, Park Young-hoon received a text message.
I’m sorry. I’ll be a little late because I have something to do.I told the instructor, so just go in.
It’s in there. It doesn’t matter.
“You said you were going to take a test.”
What kind of test is he taking at the gym?
Yoo-hyun wanted to check how far his physical ability was.
Something’s changed, but you don’t know.
It’s not such a good thing.
Maybe I could take this opportunity to check it out.
“It’s my first time, so I’m sure you won’t hit me.”
I didn’t believe it was a free place to test someone who didn’t even go to the gym that way.
You can tell just by looking at the big exterior.
A stylish sign was seen in the new building.
Thinking that it was worthy of the name No.1, Yoo-hyun opened the gym.
It’s popping.
I could hear the sound of hitting the sandbag, and I could see people jumping rope.
On the ring, a man in a glove was swinging his fist.
As the expected scenery unfolded before his eyes, a young man near the entrance asked.
“How did you come?”
“I was introduced to you.It’s Park Young Hoon.”
“Oh, sir, we have guests here.Introduce Younghoon.”
I don’t know why you spit out your voice so loudly, but thanks to that, Yoo Hyun attracted attention.
Yoo Hyun was approached by an enema who looked short and firm in the eyes of people.
At the same time, I looked at Yoo-hyun’s body, and the director’s expression did not look so happy.
“It’s so slender.”
Then, he shakes his head.
If you thought you were just someone to register for the gym, you wouldn’t have to mutter to yourself like that.
I feel something has gone against his expectations.
“What did Park Young Hoon say?”
The director’s expression looking at Yoo-hyun was colored with disappointment.
At first glance, I could clearly see that I didn’t want to relax for no reason.
Roughly, the situation made sense.
It was clear that Park Young-hoon asked for a test by overdoing it severely.
He must have inflated his expectations by saying, “Are you good or have a good body shape?”
I don’t know why he went so far, but he is a person who can do that by looking at his personality.
As soon as Yoo-hyun tried to open his mouth to resolve the misunderstanding, the director said first.
“Younghoon asked me to do a test, but honestly, I don’t often demonstrate it to a beginner myself.You can get hurt.Right, Oh Jung Wook?”
“Giggle. Of course, sir.Where is my fist an ordinary fist?”
When the man on the ring answers, the man facing him smirks.
“You’re a beginner, too.”
“Hey, Kim Tae-soo…… Brother.”
At the last minute, I could hear a voice with a sentence.
The director went on to say yes or no.
“So, I think it’s better to just tell them how to train basic things.What do you think?”
I could feel the atmosphere of ignoring it.
Yoo Hyun was beginning to feel anxious.
“What’s the test?”
“It’s like this. Jung Wook, Taesoo.”
As soon as the director’s words fell, the men on the ring moved.
Oh Jung-wook took a pose and swung his fist, and Kim Tae-soo avoided the fist leisurely.
Oh Jung-wook, who found the gap, tried to tackle by lowering his posture, but the attack failed due to an opponent he avoided.
“Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh.”
I don’t know why you’re making sounds with your mouth, but the scenery on the ring was bloody.
From the perspective of ordinary beginners.
but,
I think it’s better than I thought.’
In Yoo Hyun’s eyes, it seemed as if he was in sync and imitating.
Without knowing Yoo-hyun’s feelings, the director said with a smile.
“What do you think? It’s a bit scary, right? Anyway, let’s do this when we get a little higher.”
Seeing that Yoo-hyun is quietly lowering his words, he seems to think that Yoo-hyun is scared.
But it wasn’t.
Curiosity was greater than resistance.
I didn’t think I’d see him on the ring if it wasn’t now.
“I don’t think I’ll be here.”
Yoo Hyun, who made the decision, opened his mouth lightly.
“I just have to avoid that, right? I’ll try.”
“Avoiding your fists…”….”
When the director, who blinked at Yoo-hyun’s words, tried to explain, Oh Jung-wook, who was on the ring, looked down at Yoo-hyun and said.
“What did you say?”Do my fists look easy?”
“…….”
I frown a lot, but it’s not that threatening.
Rather, the man smiling next to me looked stronger.
When Yoo-hyun did not avoid the eye with a calm expression, Oh Jung-wook once again made a mistake.
“Ana. Chief, please put him up.”
“Hey, you’re overreacting again.Don’t tell me it looks easy for me to avoid it. Don’t you think so?”
Kim Tae-soo, who was next to him, also asked.
Yoo-hyun did not understand those who were suddenly excited.
I think the test is the attacking side, but there’s no reason to be angry just because you said it wrong.
If you don’t have skills, you’ll be ahead of your words.
In the end, Yoo Hyun’s test began.
Yoo-hyun, who was guided to change clothes, put on headgear and gloves and climbed onto the ring.
When I came up, the ring was narrower than I thought.
On the opposite side was Oh Jung-wook, who was attacking earlier.
Staring with a very poisonous expression seemed to have decided to do it properly.
As if to prove it, at the same time as the director’s signal, Oh Jung-wook stretched his fist straight toward Yoo Hyun’s face.
You can’t avoid beginners.’
Oh Jung-wook was confident.
It was a jab that stretched straight without moving its legs and pulling its fist back.
Kim Tae-soo, who wants to be a professional, may not know, but most amateurs cannot avoid this distance.
by the way.
“What?”
I avoided it.
It also avoided the fist accurately by moving its head slightly.
I could even feel the ease in his expression.
Surprised, Oh Jung-wook lowered himself further and punched.
“Slow.”
In Yoo-hyun’s eyes, Oh Jung-wook’s movement was clearly visible.
