Waiting and playing the game I was looking forward to.

After that day, no one treated me rudely at school.

The same goes for the children who watched Jihoon fight.

Well, how dare you look at my flying knee kick that was just like in the picture.

Anyway, today was the school opening anniversary, so I didn’t go to school and followed my dad to the JSM headquarters.

“Si-yoon.”

“Why? Grandpa.”

CEO Jang Seong-man was getting restless and offering chocolate to me.

“How could you not… as an uncle?”

“I call my grandfather Grandfather. What do I say?”

CEO Jang Seong-man’s eldest son entered his third year of high school this year.

The age difference between me and my father is a whopping 16 years.

Since my father is 30 years old, CEO Jang Seong-man is a 46-year-old man.

“I… I’m not even 50 years old…”

I spoke harshly to Jang Seong-man, who was complaining.

“So why did I ask to see each other separately?”

“I… I told my dad… do you want to film a movie?”

I became very interested in those words.

“movie?”

These days, all I do at home is play Maple Leaf, watch the alpha and beta, or watch movies.

More than anything, watching the child actors act made me feel like I could do better.

“Yes, a famous director is preparing a movie this time~”

“Who is it?”

“My name is Yoo Dae-yeon…”

Yoo Dae-yeon, a director with many works that have exceeded 10 million viewers.

It’s a name that might spark interest that wasn’t there before.

“oh…”

When I responded positively, Seongman Jang’s eyes sparkled.

“you know that?”

“I’ve seen it a lot, and it even won an award at the American Film Festival in the past.

“…That’s for 15 year olds…”

“…?”

Jang Seong-man was greatly embarrassed by my cold expression and waved his hand.

“No, no. Uncle made a mistake…”

I nodded and said that I was now sure of your title.

“Yes, grandfather.”

Jang Seong-man grabs my leg.

“Si-yoon!!! I’m sorry!”

“Tell me first why Director Yoo Dae-yeon needed me.”

When I tried to cross my legs, I uncrossed them only to see Jangseong holding back from pointing out.

I think habits are really scary.

Now, when an older person points something out, my body moves automatically.

Jang Seong-man took notice and first explained why Director Dae-yeon Yoo discovered me.

“They said they saw Si-yoon on Brother Next Door’s TV show…”

And the movie story continues.

The main story is about Korea, which has been transformed into a world full of zombies due to a virus.

The role I had to audition for was the main character’s beloved younger brother.

Although the role is at the level of a minor role, the film itself is expected to receive a huge amount of investment from a famous overseas distributor.

“Is that it?”

“…huh?”

“No, that’s all the character settings are.”

“…As the investment cost is high, it seems like they are trying to reduce the risk as it could be a spoiler…”

I answered after watching the general explain additional concepts.

“Tell Dad I want to do it… Oh, no, Grandpa, I think he’ll say something weird again.”

Jang Seong-man made a bitter expression.

“…How do you look at me…?”

“I’ll just say it myself.”

“…okay.”

I approached my dad who was filming.

Because of my sudden appearance, my father’s concentration was scattered.

Fortunately, the film director also seemed to want to take a break and stopped filming for a while.

“Is Si-yoon here?”

“huh.”

Dad hugged me and greeted people.

“Oh my! Siyun is so pretty!”

“i know.”

People were mesmerized by my face.

I said looking at my dad.

“I want to do a movie. What do you think, Dad?”

“… You know that movies shouldn’t be played as jokes, right?”

I looked at my dad and smiled.

“Are you going to do it as a joke? Anyway, if the director likes me, he’ll make me do it.”

“Oh… I see?”

Other people couldn’t hear my dad and I talking.

There were many people taking pictures of me and my dad.

It’s a burden for no reason.

The next day, we were doing gymnastics with the teacher in front of the swimming pool during physical education class.

The kids in front are eagerly following along.

I was lazy, so I roughly followed along and warmed up.

Then Jihoon, who was next to me, looked at me and spoke.

“Wow… swimming… it’s been a really long time.”

Jaehyung and I had learned survival swimming before, and we weren’t bad at swimming back then either.

No, rather, we quite liked water.

As proof of that, when we went to the swimming pool at daycare, the two of us swam like athletes.

That’s why Jihoon makes such an excited expression.

After gymnastics, the swimming teacher looked at us and asked.

“Do you have a friend who is good at swimming?”

Jihoon and the other kids in the swimming club proudly raised their hands.

Jihoon looks at me and laughs.

“Hehehe… I guess I’ll do better this time?”

These days, I’m starting to feel like Jihoon is a real elementary school student.

After nodding with the same expression as usual, I finished the exercises and sat quietly behind me.

Perhaps they were professional swimmers, the children who raised their hands were slightly faster than Jihoon.

One of them had superior swimming skills compared to the other children, as if he was preparing to become an athlete.

To be honest, Jihoon… tried to swim with strength rather than technique, so he was bound to waste a lot of energy.

‘If you do that, your body will get better…’

Jihoon was so absorbed in swimming that he was upset that he lost to that kid.

The little boy who is good at swimming looks at that and smiles.

As expected, I felt peaceful as I rested my chin and watched the children play in the water.

Of course, the kids include Jihoon.

A swimming teacher notices that I am not swimming and approaches me.

“Si-yoon, don’t you like going into the water?”

“no.”

“Huh? But why aren’t you going in?”

I saw Jihoon and other children swimming professionally.

“If I go in, will I feel deprived?”

“…? What do you mean?“

I sat down on the rubber pad on the floor because it was comfortable, and without answering, I tied up my long hair and put on a swimming cap.

I got up from my seat, walked towards the swimming pool, and naturally got into the water.

The swimming teacher watches in silence.

Jihoon found me and approached me while doing excessive freestyle movements.

“I’ve finished warming up, will you also relax?”

Without saying a word, I put on the goggles around my neck, dived, and kicked the wall.

Si-yoon begins to dive, and the children and teacher watch.

And the eyes of the child called Youngjae began to grow bigger and bigger.

Si-yoon returns after climbing the 50m wall underwater without taking a single breath.

In particular, the teacher’s expression was more spectacular than the children’s.

It didn’t look like Siyun took a deep breath before diving.

“”…..””

Siyoon, wearing a black swimsuit and swimming faster than anyone else, looked like a ‘torpedo’.

He arrived at the starting point, shaking the water, but made a clean and perfect turn and moved forward again.

“”…..””

“Don’t… that doesn’t make sense…”

Siyoon still looked relaxed, and the teacher, who thought Siyoon hated water, had his chin extended as if it had fallen out.

Since it was the second time around, Si-yoon looked like he was going to get out, but he kicked the wall and started again.

The teacher looked at his watch and was speechless.

Because 4 minutes had passed since Siyoon dived.

About 6 minutes into the dive, Si-yoon came out of the water naturally.

Si-yoon walks out on the stairs that connect the inside and outside of the water.

I took off my swimming goggles, took off my hat, shook off my waist-length long hair, and went and sat down in the first place.

Breathing evenly, as if I was still relaxed…

When everyone is shocked.

Jihoon, who knew Siyoon’s diving ability, only nodded.

“Puh-ha…”

As I came out of the water, there were a lot of eyes on me, which was unnerving.

It’s a familiar gaze, but… that look in the swimming teacher’s eyes is very burdensome.

On the way, I saw a swimming pad, so I took one off, put it on the seat, and sat on it.

A swimming teacher running from afar.

“Si-yoon!”

“I heard you shouldn’t jump in the swimming pool…“

The swimming teacher was embarrassed by my words and spoke very quickly.

“Oh… I’m… sorry… By the way, did you learn to swim?”

As I looked at that, I remembered the young teacher who taught me how to swim.

“Well… I did learn.”

A teacher who speaks while looking into my eyes.

“Are you… ready for the players?”

“no.”

The teacher seemed pleased with my answer.

“Are you thinking of becoming a player?!”

“no.”

“…why?”

“Swimming is my hobby.”

“I see…”

The teacher glanced at me as if he was disappointed and went to take care of the children.

However, he continued to look at me as he managed the children from afar.

When I came out of the water, Park Ji-hoon approached me.

“Gasp… gasp… I didn’t know you could hold your breath that long.”

I chuckled, looked at the front, and Jihoon continued talking.

“They say it wrinkles in front of a chrysalis…”

“What are you talking about? It’s like a quail flapping its wings in front of an airplane.”

“It can’t even fly…“

“That’s why.”

“……”

Jihoon sat next to me and looked at me looking at the swimming pool.

“No, what happened to that body? Does this make sense?”

“what.”

“When I sparred with you, it wasn’t as untouchable as it is now…”

I looked at my hands for a moment.

Two small hands that were pure white and without a single callus.

“Isn’t it true? You couldn’t touch me before either.”

“…..”

I looked at Jihoon and said.

“Hit it.”

“…?”

I showed my face to Jihoon.

“Try it.”

“If you hit me for no reason, my life will be over.”

Jihoon recalled Lee Jinseok, who controlled the atmosphere at the school violence committee.

“Young man, he was quite majestic.”

I smiled bitterly as the past came to mind.

“Because we made it that way…”

Jihoon, who was thinking about the past, looked at me and said.

“Lee Jin-seok said Park Gi was like that?”

“Crazy guy, you made Ki-seok Lee rice cake… is that what you’re talking about?”

“Hey? Haengnim ordered it, isn’t it ridiculous?”

“Yes, that’s why I’m taking care of Dayeon.”

“That doesn’t mean what you did will go away…”

“…..”

I was resting my chin for a moment and reminiscing about the past.

At that time, a boy who was the best swimmer approached me from afar.

“…?”

“Are you going to be a swimmer?”

“no.”

“…..”

As I was looking straight ahead again with an expression of annoyance, the boy with clenched fists spoke.

“I will.”

‘What do you mean…?’

The little boy suddenly goes into the water again.

“…?”

Jihoon was watching the situation from the side.

“It must be good because it’s popular.”
