EPISODE 11

Hae-kang, your direction keeps going off.

All of you, watch your mouths, okay?

-Yes, Coach.
-Yes, Coach.

What's with your faces?

Don't slack off
just because there's no coach.

There are only three days left, okay?

Coach, do you know who the White Wolf is?

The White Wolf? Of course.

It's Head Coach Bae. Why do you ask?

Well, about the White Wolf…

I mean, we heard that

Head Coach got kicked out
for beating the students.

Who said such a thing? It's not true.

Don't you know him?
You know what kind of person he is.

Don't worry about such things,
and just focus on the draft match.

-Yes, Coach.
-Yes, Coach.

Honey, did you hear?

Mr. Hong told me

that most of the houses and fields here

are owned by Big Gran.

She never rested a single day in her life.

Isn't that amazing?

How can you talk about that right now?

You know what the people are like.

Sorry.
I guess I didn't need to mention that.

All right. You all heard the news, right?

Mr. Kim is almost done
developing the new drug,

and he succeeded in winning
a 10-billion-won investment.

Why don't you give us a comment?

Well, I didn't do it all by myself.

Gi-hyeon did half the work as well.

Say something too.

Me too?

Come on. Everyone here worked together.

Forget that jerk. Why don't you
treat us all to something nice, then?

Well…

Right!

Let's eat out!

-Yes!
-Nice!

FEEL SO GOOD

You can't even drink well.

Things are tough, aren't they?

You won the investment too, you know.

Did I?

Others may not know it, but I do.

But how is your mother doing?

She had another operation,

but the hospital fee is the problem.

Why is my life so difficult?

I'm sure things will work out.

You're the only one

who cares about me
out of all the people I know.

Thank you.

Let's just go without helping her today.

-Hello.
-Hi.

It's hot today.

Get in.

Gosh.

This is so nice!

Just let me off at the bus station.

Where are you going?

The public bathhouse in town.
I want to get a nice bath.

Right. We're heading somewhere else,

so we'll take you to the station.

We'll take you to the bathhouse.

I told you, it's fine!

Then I'll give you some kimchi as payment.

All right. Thank you.

You're working hard.

Drink this.

It's really amazing.

I have good news and bad news.

The bad news

is that you won't be able
to draw entries for others anymore.

Then how will I earn my living?

Instead, you can draw your own pieces.

Don't worry about social ladders.

Just trust me.

Thank you so much.

-Thank you. Thank you so much.
-Okay.

-I'm so happy for you.
-Thank you.

You worked so hard all this time.

RACKET BOYS

Did you hear that
Hwasun Middle School's coach changed?

They must really want to win the
Nationals. I heard he's from abroad.

They still have no chance against us.
Haenam has Yoon Hae-kang.

At least his mouth is perfectly healthy.

Anyway, you guys. You better not
say anything about Hae-kang's eye.

It's going to be difficult winning against
Dong-hyeon or Yellow Hair.

-We have to think of something.
-Forget it.

I can beat them with one eye closed.

Good morning, guys.

What's up, Hae-in?
It's so early in the morning.

I need just five minutes.

I got homework from kindergarten.

What is it?

I have to depict love.
It doesn't matter how, though.

What's love?

Hey, Hae-in. You won't even need
five minutes for that.

Five seconds is enough.

I love you, Hae-in.

No way.

Isn't this better?

I love you, Hae-in.

No. This is how you express love.

Hae-in, I love…

Mister! Move your car!

Hey, In-sol!

-Hello.
-Hey.

Mr. Jeong!
What brings you all the way here?

I'm doing my best to guide In-sol,
but I'm not sure it's enough.

-Have you been well, Coach?
-Of course.

You should've told me you were coming.

-Guys, Mr. Jeong is here!
-No. It's fine.

-I just came here as In-sol's driver.
-What?

He suddenly shouted, "I got it!"

and told me he had to hurry.

Look. Do you see this?

The video quality is killing me.

We're at an age when you can get
a tractor with a single click,

but you're showing us such an old video?

Shut up and watch.

I'm sure In-sol's showing us this
for a reason.

Do you know Shon Seung-mo?

Of course, we do.

He won the silver medal for men's singles
at the Athens Summer Olympics.

-What about him?
-What do you think of his playing style?

He's tall and has a big build,

so his swings were pretty powerful.

What about in this video?

First, there's a lot of net play.

And the rally ends within five strokes.

That's right. And?

He sends the shuttlecock
towards the opponent's right

so it will come to his left.

Pretty good, Airhead.

Whatever. So what? What does this have
to do with anything?

He lost vision in his right eye.

He's playing this match
while he can't see in his right eye.

He must've practiced endlessly
to find a way to keep going.

Thousands upon thousands of times.

We've always lost against Seoul,
but it's different this time.

-Got that?
-Yes, Coach.

I will teach you the know-how
I learned from abroad.

Group A, practice your swings
with the bands.

Dong-hyeon.

It's to manage your wrist movement,

but it's also to control
your body strength.

Don't give me that.

And Group B, move the shuttlecocks.

And finally, running. Get going.

-Yes, Coach!
-Yes, Coach!

Thank you.

You really look like a proper coach now.

It's been a while since you came here.

He's really busy, you know.

About the White Wolf
you mentioned last time…

-Yes?
-Hey. Are you still on about that?

You said he never swore at the kids
or beat them

even if the training was tough, right?

Well, to be honest,

I'm not really sure.

I heard about the incident
that happened 10 years ago,

so I tried to ask my son about
White Wolf and all,

but he wouldn't talk.

Really?

You said your son's trying
to be a coach, right?

Yes, he's a coach now.

He's earning money!

But he wouldn't tell me,

so I'm not sure he'll tell anyone else.

Gosh, you didn't eat the meat with fat?

Do you remember when we first came here?

You had a huge argument with that grandma.

You seem pretty close now.

So what?

-Are you disappointed?
-No, it's not like that.

Let's go.

MR. HONG

-Who is it?
-It's Mr. Hong.

I'm sure it's nothing.

-Just answer your phone.
-What? Should I?

-Yes, Mr. Hong.
-Where are you?

I need someone to help move
the fertilizer.

I'm sorry,
but I'm heading somewhere right now.

Is that right?

Well, I got some fertilizer for you.

I'll do it myself, then.

All right. Bye.

Move your right foot back a bit.

Good.

Stop.

Focus.

It might be old-fashioned,

but it's a sure training method.

Are you exhausted?

Your answer?

-I'm okay.
-Go.

Group A, do the opposite side.

Did you see that? Did it work?

-Yes.
-Yes.

You have to shake up the opponent's
receiving and play near the net.

But then the opponent might notice.

The point is not to drag the rally on
or let the ball move too far.

What do you think, Woo-chan?

You should end the game faster
near the net.

Let's try it once more.

Hae-kang should treat you to a nice meal.

Right. You must've searched all night
to find that.

It's fine. It's not just for him.
It's for all of us.

-Liar.
-Liar.

It's tough, isn't it?

I asked your mother for something.
Is she coming tomorrow?

Well…

she said she has to work
at the market tomorrow.

Gosh, I see.

All right. Anyway, you'll do fine
at the draft match. You're good.

Thank you.

But I'm not sure about the Nationals.

The matches will be centered
around Dong-hyeon and Seon-gyun.

I practiced really hard, Coach.

Hey, kid.

Everyone practiced hard, you know.

Things might

change if circumstances were different
for you or your mom.

Go on.

One more thing.

Eun-ho, clean the gym from now on.

Keep it up.

I didn't know "a bit of fertilizer"
meant 500 bags.

You must be exhausted, too.

Honey?

Why don't we just go home
and head out tomorrow?

It's not that urgent.

-What do you think?
-Deal.

Deal.

Hae-kang, move the side dishes.

Here.

Where's Dad and Hae-in?

He went to pick up Hae-in,

but they're having dinner
at Grandma's house.

I should've joined the others
to practice, then.

You said you're going to rest.

Why? Is it awkward be alone with me?

No, of course not! I'm totally fine!

Right. I get it.

Your dad was the one
who took care of you so far.

I'm not even good at cooking,

and I didn't spend much time with you.

Are you anxious? Winning the
Nationals is the best achievement, right?

I'm the same as usual.

What was your best achievement
while playing badminton?

I'm not sure.

I was always good,

and I never lost.

Jeez.

I guess my best achievement was when
I won a gold medal at the Asian Games.

I was aching everywhere,

but I won at the finals.

You know how the rules were different back
then. Matches could last up to two hours.

You're just bragging.

Then what about the worst moment?

When I won the gold medal
at the Asian Games.

No, not the best moment. The worst moment.

They're the same.

It was the best and worst moment.

YEONHA ASIAN GAMES GOLD MEDAL

It's so shiny.

Congratulations again
on winning the gold medal.

How did you do so well
even with an injury?

But Ki-won,
we arrived in Incheon hours ago.

Why do we still have to wait?

Where are you going?
Wait! Don't open the door!

-Ra Yeong-ja!
-Over here!

-Ra Yeong-ja!
-Ra Yeong-ja!

I told you not to open that door.

You have more than ten
interviews and TV appearances

starting tomorrow.

There were over 30 requests,
so I had to reject a lot.

People only show their interest
in badminton

during the Olympics or the Asian Games.

I'm still grateful.

It's something, right?

We should work harder.

Then people will be more interested.

They'll realize how fun and cool
badminton is.

Right, Ki-won?

Why are you always so cool?

Let me do all 30 interviews.

-She's coming out!
-Ra Yeong-ja!

HYEON-JONG

What is it? Is something going on?

All right. Be careful on the way home.

What is it?

It's nothing. Your dad said he'll be late.

The soup will get cold. Eat up.

I made that sujebi for you

whenever I came home when you were little.

Your grandmother

made that for me, too.

Whenever I see this dish,

I think about you.

How is it?

It's salty.

Super salty.

Salty?

Why are the lights on?

Who would be here right now?

Could it be Airhead?

It's strange.

Is it Mr. Hong?

Chan, what are you doing here?

I was nearby visiting my grandma
and stopped by.

-I should get back.
-Come on. Don't go right away.

-You should have dinner with us.
-I'd love that.

I was hungry.

That sounds pretty fishy.
You didn't come to see Se-yoon?

Hey, Han-sol. Don't say such nonsense.

What? Han-sol's right, though.

-You're killing me!
-You're killing me!

Did you hear that?

-"Han-sol's right"!
-Oh, my gosh!

Se-yoon. Does returning serves from guys

really help with practice?

Of course.
Since guys are usually faster than girls.

But Se-yoon is sometimes faster than me.

-You're killing me!
-You're killing me!

Stop that, you guys.

By the way, Han-sol and Yoon-dam
seem to be getting along well.

You seem like you're dating.

No, we're not. We're…

I should really tell you now.
To be honest, Han-sol and I--

You're dating?

Do you think I'd really fall for that?

I'm not that clueless.

Clueless…

Yong-tae, what's for dinner tonight?

Don't worry. I made a reservation
at a great restaurant.

Beggars would eat a better meal than this.

I didn't get to cook much.

There's nothing much to eat.

-This is amazing. Thank you so much.
-Gosh.

Just think of this
as a simple late-night snack.

Enjoy the food.

-Thank you!
-Thank you!

Hey, get lost!
Why is there an intruder here?

Hey, Hae-kang. Can't you be nice for once?

Forget it. Hey, temporary best player.

What is a Seoul kid
doing all the way here?

-I was--
-He was visiting his grandma nearby

-and dropped by to see Se-yoon.
-What?

-When are you leaving?
-I--

He's leaving right after dinner.

Anything else you want to know?

I don't want to know anything.

Thanks.

Se-yoon, how is your arm?

You should be careful
even without the cast.

I'm totally fine.

I'm all better, so don't worry.

Wait, I'd better go now.

I might miss the bus.

You should still finish your food.
You said it's not far.

My grandma lives in Ulsan.

-What?
-What?

-What?
-Ulsan?

You really came all the way here
to see Se-yoon?

You rode the bus for five hours

all the way here to Haenam?

All right.

What are you doing?

The Nationals are coming up.

I should do some skincare.

Right?

This is really moist.

I feel like I'm in a swimming pool.
This is so nice.

-All right.
-It's moist?

Mom. Dad.
How are you supposed to show love?

What is love?

Hae-in, love is…

Please don't make a heart
with your fingers.

Of course not.

Love is…

Don't make a heart over your head.

I should change my shampoo.

That's so cliché.

You should at least do this much.
Look, Hae-in.

How about this?

No? Then how about this?

I'm supposed to eat it, too.

About Head Coach Bae.
Do you think it really happened?

You said it was impossible.

Did you hear something?

No way.
There's no way he did such a thing.

What about the kids?

It might be bugging them.

They don't seem that bothered.

But I should still check.

I'm getting pretty curious.

They say there's more than meets the eye,

but that's impossible.

Should I just call him myself
and ask if it's true?

If he hasn't mentioned it,

maybe there's a reason.

It could be something painful
he doesn't want to remember.

And sometimes, rumors are scarier
than the truth.

You couldn't ask
because you know that, right?

Let's go today, no matter what.

All right. I really hope so.

I can't do this anymore!

My gosh! I told you, that's not it!

-Gosh!
-Hurry up!

-That's not it!
-Don't look. Just go.

-Let's just go.
-I can't do this! Tell Hae-kang to do it!

Hae-kang's not here right now!

Do it just like Hae-kang did!

-Hurry up!
-I can't do it anymore!

Can't you even take a photo properly?

I already took about 100 photos!

I might die from taking too many photos!

That's fine with me!
I'll get a nice incense for your funeral!

How are you two?

-Terrible!
-Terrible!

Sorry, but what's going on here?

He's so bad at taking photos.

They're so blurry, I can't see them.

My finger's going to break.
She keeps forcing me to take photos.

Could I see? Let me see them.

He can't do anything properly.

I can't believe this.

Why do I have to live like this?

Let me show you how to do it.

Grandma, look. Honey.

If you think the face looks blurry,

press the face on the screen like this.

That's all there is to it.

I see. Wow.

City people really are different.
Thank you.

-Do you get it now?
-Hey, city people. Listen.

This old woman keeps looking down on me,
whatever I do!

I have good reason to!

Hey!

Don't yell at me!

Do you think I'm pathetic too?

Because I'm always getting scolded
by my wife?

-No.
-Of course, not.

-Then why am I not there?
-Pardon?

Over there.

Her face is drawn so big right here.

Why isn't my face here?

-I'm so disappointed.
-What?

My goodness.

Hello.

Turn it.

Turn it and it'll come right out.

I'll try and take care of this.

THANK YOU

Right.

-Here.
-Thank you.

I'm a regular at your father's restaurant.

My father must have bragged
about me again.

Do you know about the White Wolf?

Well, if I knew it was about that,
I wouldn't have come.

Are the rumors about him true?
Did it really happen?

What do people say?

I heard that the White Wolf suddenly left
after he beat you…

I have lessons to go to.

What happened back then?

Coach, I have to keep my job
to earn a living.

And please don't come see me again.

Don't ever come see me again.

What's troubling you so much?

There's no one who continued playing
after that incident 10 years ago.

What really happened back then?

I'm pretty sure no one will tell you.

The same goes for me, too.

My students seemed to have heard
the rumors that the White Wolf beat you.

They seem to be pretty bothered
and anxious because of that.

Then it's even better for you not to know.

You all practiced hard,
so good luck on the draft match tomorrow.

-Yes, Coach!
-Yes, Coach!

You know the results of the team match
affect the singles matches, right?

Make sure to stretch properly.
That's it for today.

-Yes, Coach!
-Yes, Coach!

Wait, In-sol.

-Yes?
-How is it playing badminton?

It's fun. Playing badminton
and hanging out with the others.

Is that so? That's a relief. I'm grateful.

Do you have something to say, Coach?

Well…

the thing is…

Coach, it's fine if I don't participate
in the team match tomorrow.

As you said, I know how important
the Nationals are.

And I'm satisfied with things now.

In-sol, I'm sorry.

Come on, Coach.

We're not a small school club.
I'll do my best for the singles.

All right.

Thank you.

-Let's do this.
-Let's do this.

2011 BADMINTON TEAM CONTACTS

-Hello?
-Hi. We met a while ago at the cafe.

Right.

I thought about it, and I guess
I'm the only one who can tell you.

I'm the only one who quit.

That's right.

Go talk to Coach Noh.

Coach Noh?
I've never heard that name before.

He runs a badminton supplies store
in town.

What? He was a coach back then?

Yes. He was there that day.

That's all I can tell you.

Then Mr. Noh…

You should eat too.

You're not eating?

All right.

What?

It's fixed.

He said he was busy.
When did he come and fix it?

Hang on.

Right. He did a good job with that.

THE CITY PEOPLE

Why isn't it working?

-Are you okay?
-Yes, I'm fine.

The city people did it?

TOOK 2 HOURS CHANGING THE LIGHT

Hae-in, how about this?

Does this show love?

Isn't there anything besides a heart?

-Jeez.
-Gosh, there is nothing besides a heart.

I'm exhausted.

I think I accidentally kicked Han-sol.

Gosh, my shoulders hurt.

My gosh.

Yong-tae, are you still
in touch with Eun-ho from Hwasun?

That jerk suddenly stopped contacting me.

Weird. Dong-hyeon keeps ignoring
my messages, too.

Were you close with Eun-ho?

I was in a competition
in elementary school,

and I accidentally peed my pants.

So I was so embarrassed and scared,

-but the kids were teasing me.
-And?

But Eun-ho beat up all those kids
who were teasing me.

And we became friends.

And Eun-ho's parents got divorced,
so he just lives with his mom.

Five seconds left.

-What? Only five?
-Four,

three, two, one!

I got it!

You're preparing dinner!

Darn it.

Well, if you want, let's eat curry!

Good work today, Honey.

I realized again today that I'm not good

with my hands.

You only realized that now?

But it's fine.

You have way more strengths
than weaknesses.

Really?

Will everyone think the same way?

Of course.

Where should we go now, then?

To our original destination?

Or back home?

We'll give you a call
once the person in charge arrives!

Have you talked to Gi-hyeon?

He won't pick up.

Do you really not know?

He killed himself last night!

What?

Kim Gi-hyeon

gave all our confidential data
to another firm.

He was getting revenge on us.

This is all your fault, you jerk!

But he just said Gi-hyeon died.

He's dead…

Gi-hyeon dropping dead

isn't the problem right now!

He could've just said sorry.

MODERN ART EXHIBITION

This piece won first place.

The name of this piece is The Ugly Truth.

So Director Cha's son took it.

She was always making a face
just because she had some skill.

She probably has an inferiority complex.

I heard she's infertile, too.

She seems a bit dark, don't you think?

I told you order 100 thousand capsules,
not 10 thousand.

-I'm sorry.
-Then go and fix it, you idiot!

Apologizing won't fix anything,
useless scum.

It's me, Gi-hyeon.

I'm leaving first
since the world doesn't need me.

I'm going to a place where I don't
have to receive or give help.

We're not useless people.

But we're leaving
since we can't offer any help.

We're going to a place
where we won't receive or give help.

We're sorry.

When I first came here,

I didn't have the courage to die.

But now I don't have the courage to leave.

Coming back here

was a good decision, right?

To be honest, I'm not sure.

But it's true that I came here to die,

but now I want to live.

Let's

not just survive anymore.

Let's live a good life.

Let's.

There are pretty sunsets here,

and we have our garden.

And the village people…

Don't ugly cry on me now.

Who is it?

Hello.

Did you have dinner, by any chance?

No, we didn't.

Oh, then have this.
You said you liked it last time.

My curry.

Well, we'll enjoy this.

Thank you.

Be careful on the way home.

I'm glad

that you're here.

What do you mean?

You helped the elderly in this village
go to the hospital

and the bathhouse.

And you helped Hae-in last time.

Mr. Hong also bosses you around…

I mean, he needs your help often.

Right, Hae-in?

Yes. And you're the only ones
who enjoy Hae-kang's disgusting curry.

Sir.

are you okay?

Kids.

Thanks for the curry,

and thanks for thinking of us
and coming here.

Thank you for making us feel useful.

Thanks for making us live.

Mister, are you okay?

What brings you here?

I can deliver supplies, you know.

I came here to ask you something, Mr…

I mean, Coach Noh.

Do you know the White Wolf by any chance?

Of course. It's Head Coach Bae.

The kids were asking about him, too.
Is there something going on?

Ten years ago,

what happened with the White Wolf
and the students?

The kids are pretty worried about it.
I'm worried, too.

I'm sure I'm not the first one
you're asking.

Right. I met all the athletes from
back then apart from Kang Tae-seon.

Nobody would talk.

Coach. There's a reason
why people don't talk about it.

And that goes the same for me.

Mr. Noh, please. It's for the kids.

I'm just barely moving on from it,

so please stop.

Don't try to reopen old wounds.

And…

Head Coach Bae wouldn't want this, either.

Hae-kang. Don't you think it's strange?

What do you mean? You're scaring me.

That man's house.

They had nothing in their house,
like they were going to leave soon.

This curry was really delicious.

Right. I thought he was a chef.

What is it?

Didn't he say it was the same curry?

Why is it disgusting this time?

Did he mean it's the curry from
several months back?

It's nice to see you like this.

You're smiling a lot today.

Did I?

-When did I smile?
-Don't you know?

When you were drawing the mural,
and when you drew for Hae-in.

That thing about love.

But you know, the best way to show love

is this.

Are you sure she understood the homework?

It's how to show love.

-Why?
-Look.

It's just a cartoon about you
giving that man some curry.

THANK YOU
WE'LL ENJOY IT

You're right.
She didn't understand the homework.

Let's go. It's scary out here.

All right. Tell me.

What is troubling you?

Master, two things are troubling me.

I see. So there are two things?
Go ahead and tell me.

It's about In-sol. He trained really hard.

We won a lot of matches thanks to him.

But I couldn't put him on the order
for tomorrow's draft match.

What did he say?

Isn't it obvious? He said it was okay.

I'm sure he'd want to join.

But I feel so sorry about it.

Would you have found another way?

Well…

I think I would've made the same choice.

Come on. You're lying.

I mean it.
The Nationals are really important,

so you should value skill the most.

All right, then.
What's your second concern?

I think the rumors could be true
about Head Coach Bae beating the kids.

Everyone gets scared and avoids talking
whenever I ask.

Didn't you say you called him
about the draft match tomorrow?

Yes. But he said he was out
and that he'd call me back.

-Let me go to the bathroom.
-Sure.

The White Wolf.

I shouldn't say that.

Head Coach.
I'm really curious about one thing.

What happened 10 years ago?

There are posts online

about how you beat the students
and disappeared.

I bet the Haenam Seo
Middle School students know.

-Did you really--
-Let's go.

What? I just want to know if it's true.

Let's go!

All right, exhale.

Okay. Good.

In-sol, come on.

All right.

You're here.

There's the second-ranking team
in Jeonnam.

You don't need to turn off your cars.
You'll be leaving soon.

-Hello.
-Hello.

-How have you been?
-Fine.

Guys, did you greet the coach?

Greet him properly.

-Hello.
-Hello.

Okay.

Let me tell you something
before the match.

If Haenam wins, you get all the authority.

But if we win, you can't participate

in the training or come to the gym.

You will not intervene in any way.

Right.

Geez.

-Yes! Nice!
-Nice!

21-16.

Haenam Seo Middle School wins.

FIRST SINGLES MATCH
BANG YOON-DAM WINS

HAENAM SEO : 1
HWASUN OSEONG : 0

It's okay.

21-18.

Hwasun Oseong Middle School wins.

SECOND SINGLES MATCH
LEE YONG-TAE LOSES

HAENAM SEO : 1
HWASUN OSEONG : 1

-Nice!
-Nice!

Yes!

FIRST DOUBLES
HAE-KANG, YOON-DAM WINS

Haenam Seo Middle School wins.

Yes.

-Hey.
-Yeah!

-Good job.
-Good job.

You did great. How's your eye, Hae-kang?

It's fine. It feels
a little uncomfortable, that's all.

I can just finish the match quickly.

All right, but make sure
the opponent doesn't notice.

Don't worry. They'll never find out.

Are you kidding me?

-No, sir.
-No, sir.

Eun-ho, what's with you?

I'll deal with you later.

Win the second doubles match,

and beat Yoon Hae-kang at the final match.

Got that?

Yes, Coach.

I feel sorry for always getting a ride.

We're on our way to town anyway.
And it's hot outside.

And we enjoyed the kimchi.

Why didn't you come in?

What are you talking about?

You left kimchi at our door last night.

What do you mean? I was going
to give you the kimchi today.

That's strange. Then who was it?

It was really tasty dongchimi.

What?

Could it have been--

Can you stop the car for a minute?

Sir! Do you want to get buried
along with that bag of trash?

-Pick that back up!
-Sorry.

It's all right.

21-19.

Hwasun Oseong Middle School wins.

It's all right.

Good work.

Playing a final match against them?
How embarrassing.

Eun-ho, it wouldn't have come to this
if you had won the first match.

Sorry, Coach.

Jeez.

What's going on with them?

They don't even talk
or do handshakes with us.

Right. And the coach
is totally bullying Eun-ho.

Does he have to go that far?

Guys, let's focus.
Just focus on our match.

Hae-kang's not in his best condition
and they're pretty good,

so keep your focus. Okay?

-Yes, Coach!
-Yes, Coach!

Get away from me.

Or you won't be able to play
in the Nationals.

What are you on about? What's going on?

Well…

Never mind. Forget it.

I have no secrets from you, you know.

You even saw me pee in my pants.
You were so cool back then.

You didn't look like this.

Our coach is a bit strange.

He told us not to greet you.

The Nationals are pretty important.

And he just keeps making me run laps,

but I don't know why.

He said I'm doing well,
but I can't play in the Nationals.

My mom loves it when I play matches.

You should show him.

Show him the team needs you.

You can prove it with your skills.

I'm a loser who always
mimics Lee Yong-dae,

but I'm doing my best.

-Yes!
-Good job.

Let's go!

21-17.

-Haenam Seo Middle School wins.
-Come in. It's okay.

-Yes!
-Nice!

Good job.

You're doing great.
You shouldn't drag it on,

-so let's finish up quickly.
-Right. I should finish it.

Good luck, Hae-kang.

Right. Help us be
the main school for once.

Hey, Airhead.
Don't ever let the ball move to the rear.

We're almost there.

Hae-kang, please win.

What? The ball's going far.

Hae-kang's method isn't working.

What? Did they notice Hae-kang's weakness?

No way. They didn't notice until now,

and he mixed up the patterns.

But it doesn't make sense.
Unless someone told them.

Plus, even Hae-kang changed
his playing style

because he can't see well
in his right eye.

We'll both be fine
as long as we do our best.

Thanks.

HWASUN OSEONG MIDDLE SCHOOL

Are you sure? Can you rely on that?

Yes. I heard it from Yong-tae.

See? You can do well.

Coach.
Then can I participate in the Nationals?

Of course. Who will play if you don't?

Thank you, Coach!

SPECIAL THANKS TO JO JAE-RYONG

RACKET BOYS

Something happened between
Hae-kang and Yong-tae.

-I'm heading out first.
-I don't think he did it on purpose.

-But I get so mad.
-Is training a joke to you?

-Start running now!
-By the way,

when you said it was okay for me to listen
to your secret, what did you mean by that?

It's the singles tomorrow,
but I'm not sure what to do.

When this happens,
one player usually gives up the spot.

I'm going to play this match.

I won't let this be my last match.
