[Ballboy Tactics]

Hello?

Is the photo-taking going well?

Yes.

I'm taking a break now.

What's up?

I called because I wanted to hear your voice.

You're so hard to reach.

I was taking photos.

I'm sorry.

Who did you go out with today?

Did you meet the friends you met yesterday?

No.

They didn't come.

Instead, Hyoseok is here.

Oh, that...

that one who took a selfie with you.

Right?

Yes.

That's right.

He's nice and handsome.

Oh.

Jiwon.

You must be happy to be on a date with a handsome guy.

Gosh. What date?

That's not it.

Then Jiwon...

Hmm?

When will we meet again?

I see you every day.

Huh?

That's a good thing about you being famous.

I can find out what you've been up to by searching you up.

Hey, how is that meeting?

I miss you.

I'm going crazy cause I want to touch you so bad.

Seems like you're fine with just looking at photos.

Actually,

it's not enough for me too...

Hey, Kwon Jeongwu. Come over quickly!

I was just enjoying this...

I have to go.

It's okay.

Go ahead.

Take nice photos till I'm back.

Don't cheat on me.

Bye.

Okay.

Darn it.

This training is too much.

Let's ask the coach to change the training plan.

That's why I told you to strengthen your stamina.

Don't complain all the time.

Do you think a normal athlete can run as fast as you?

Your lung capacity is too strong.

By the way...

Is Jeongwu okay?

I think his ankle is getting worse.

It's okay. The treatment went well today.

I'm just telling you just in case but

don't tell Jiwon.

Why? A friend got injured, of course we've got to tell him.

To save trouble. If Jiwon finds out,

Jeongwu will feel burdened too.

Don't tell me...

You like Jiwon?

What are you talking about?

You seem

worried about Jiwon.

It's not like that.

I'm just afraid they'd

worry about each other and feel pressured.

Both of them are the type to overthink things.

That's true...

But... Who do you like?

Why’d you ask that all of a sudden?

Well.

I'm just curious if there's someone you like.

There is.

There is one. Well...

I don't know.

I don't know if I like them or not.

That happens.

Now that you mention it, I'm so curious.

Who is it?

It's a secret.

Why do all of you have so many secrets?

Just tell me!

In the future.

I'll tell you in the future.

Hey.

Your shoelaces are untied.

Whatever.

Thank you.

Mm.

Are you out of your mind?

I'm sorry.

You came all the way here to prepare for the season,

but you got hurt on the first day.

What are you thinking?

I'm sorry.

-What's the problem? -Nothing.

Are you dating someone?

Fine. Although dating is your business,

we have to separate personal and work.

This is a team competition.

You should know how important this season is.

Don't bring personal emotions to the court.

Answer me.

Yes.

Get some rest.

[Dad]

Hello?

Jiwon.

Have you been well?

Yes.

How are Mom and you?

What about those who came to our house?

Well, this is the countryside.

It's hard to find us.

We're fine. It's gotten quiet.

Are you okay?

Yes.

It's gotten quiet here too.

That's good.

Jiwon, eat your meals on time.

When your mom gets better,

we'll come visit you too.

Okay.

I'm always sorry and grateful.

We're more sorry.

No.

Have a good rest.

Keep in touch.

Okay.

[Is it "discipline" or "abuse"?] [National team player Han Jiwon reveals the truth] ["That wasn't discipline by a coach," Han Jiwon brings up abuse allegations personally]

[According to Han Jiwon's own revelations, during his childhood and youth, he endured harsh training and continuous psychological oppression. If he lost a match, he would be publicly humiliated and physically punished. Even when injured, he was forced to train. His testimonies were deeply shocking.]

[At the time, he endured, wondering if he was too weak to withstand it. However, ultimately, all of this turned into severe stress, and as his psychological anxiety grew, his athletic performance was also significantly shaken. Following this interview, various reactions are emerging within the sports world. Some officials cautiously stated that "a certain level of intense training is necessary in the sports field," while many former athletes raised their voices, saying, "the culture of violence that we have endured must change."]

I'm sorry...

Don't hit me...

I have a lot of questions,

but I can't ask him.

[At the end of the interview, Han Jiwon stated, "I hope my story can give courage to someone," and expressed his hope that such environments will improve in the future. It remains to be seen what changes his brave statements will bring to the sports world]

I'm afraid that what I say

will hurt him again.

What?

Isn't that Han Jiwon?

Let's go ask him.

Excuse me.

Are you an athlete, Han Jiwon?

It's him.

I was right.

It's an honor. I'm really your fan.

Excuse me, can I take a photo with you?

I'm sorry.

Come on.

Just one photo.

I won't post it online.

Sorry.

Just one.

Just one.

Do you want to take it together?

If not, can I have your autograph–

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean for that to happen...

Let's go.

W-We're sorry.

I'm sorry.

Jiwon, are you okay?

What happened?

Your phone...

I dropped it.

Maybe this is better.

What do you mean?

[[Exclusive] Former national athlete Han Jiwon and varsity basketball star Kwon Jeongwu are secretly dating?]

[[Exclusive] Former national athlete Han Jiwon and varsity basketball star Kwon Jeongwu are secretly dating?]

["He's dating right before the national competition, looks like he has no intention of going pro." "Fans are worried about his athletic performance, but he's busy dating." "Who's going to take responsibility if his image tanks?" "He said he wanted to live quietly, but he's dating a celebrity after all." "Is he trying to piggyback off Kwon Jeongwu's fame?" "Didn't they know that dating in the sports industry would cause such a big controversy?"]

I thought I got used to things like this.

Why do I...

feel so stuffy?

[Jiwon (15)]

[Jiwon]

Hey!

What's going on?

It's all over the forum now.

Former national player Han Jiwon

and varsity basketball star Kwon Jeongwu are secretly dating...

That's nonsense.

How could they believe such news?

How's Jiwon?

I can't reach him.

He didn't answer our calls either.

My Jiwon...

wouldn't believe such trash news and get upset, right?

Jeongwu is a victim too.

Watch what you say.

It's not true anyway.

He's not one to play not as well just cause he's dating.

He's still practicing even with a swollen ankle.

Huh?

Speaking of, your ankle is sprained.

Is this the time to joke around?

I'm worried.

I'm sure the coach thinks it's not true,

but there are so many eyes watching.

I'm afraid he'll reach out to you one on one, Jeongwu.

It won't be just the coach contacting him.

Hey.

Don't cause trouble to Jiwon.

Go and clarify it.

As long as you say you have a girlfriend,

this would be dissolved.

Don't worry about it.

He'll take care of it.

[[Exclusive] Former national athlete Han Jiwon and varsity basketball star Kwon Jeongwu are secretly dating?]

Han Jiwon.

Oh, Jeongwu.

It's me.

Where are you?

I am... still out...

Why didn't you call me right away?

I dropped my phone.

I just borrowed Hyoseok's phone to call you.

It'd be difficult to contact you then.

Well...

Are you with

Hyoseok now?

Yes.

I just borrowed his phone for a short while.

Jiwon.

Should I just leave my practice and go back?

What?

Should I go back, drink some coffee,

and run after you?

It's not like my skills will deteriorate with one week less of practice.

That's true,

but Jeongwu...

I'm afraid you'll just leave.

Even without me by your side,

you seem to be living well.

Jeongwu.

Did I interrupt something?

Don't get me wrong. Listen to me.

I'm telling you that I've been missing you.

I'm sorry for calling you so late.

I've never been in a relationship before.

I don't really know...

All right.

It's late. Go back now.

Be careful on your way back.

Call me when your phone is fixed.

Okay.

What are you doing?

Nothing.

I don't think it's nothing.

Something's up.

Why do you work so hard?

Well...

I just feel that I have to.

What are you anxious about?

Recently,

I've been kind of out of my mind.

The injury is one aspect.

My skills are deteriorating too.

Isn't it more difficult for you to act like nothing's wrong?

I have to endure it.

Why?

Fine.

But Jeongwu,

do you really think enduring it

is for the better of the team?

Well...

I don't quite know now either.

I won't say anything to you.

If you insist,

I'll endure it with you.

But it's not just about waiting and enduring.

We could go further,

or we could get too close

and things become blurry.

If we keep waiting like this,

we might not know what we want in the future.

You know that.

Once you start to think too much,

misunderstandings and suspicions will accumulate.

Then, there will be no progress.

Hey. Just do it your way.

Don't be so upset. It's not like you.

What? Weren't you comforting me?

It's no fun to do that too much.

I think humor can save the world.

But without Byeon Seungjin, it's not quite there.

That dude would only make things chaotic.

He's so annoying that I can't even think.

That's his charm.

He's kind of cute.

Are you serious?

Yeah. I'm serious.

Get some rest.

With your current condition,

the coach won't let you play.

I know.

Then take a good rest.

Do I have to teach you everything?

Look at the situation.

All right, all right.

Thank you for your teaching.

Okay.

Let's go back.

[Photography Department] [Other majors are not allowed in! (It will be 100,000 KRW fine if you're caught)]

Jiwon.

Rather than just doing nothing,

why not just respond it naturally?

How so?

Look here.

Let's take a photo.

One, two, three.

[Hello everyone! I'm Kim Hyoseok, who's super close with Jiwon hyung! You guys aren't really falling for those absurd rumors, are you? Jiwon hyung and I are just really good friends! Besides, athlete Kwon Jeongwu already has a super beautiful girlfriend, so please don't have such strange misunderstandings. #IfKwonJungwooIsMyBoyfriend #ThenI'mAlsoHisBoyfriend #JustKidding #HanJiwon #KwonJungwoo #Clarification]

Girlfriend?

This is the only way people will stop talking about it.

Isn't that too much?

Don't worry about it.

Leave it to me.

But still...

I'm afraid it's inappropriate.

Gosh.

[Your new post has been uploaded.]

Hey, did you see it?

Kim Hyoseok's social media account?

I told you to read it. Jiwon's clarification.

I didn't expect to see it on Kim Hyoseok's social media account.

Huh?

Wow, this is crazy.

[Hello everyone! I'm Kim Hyoseok, who's super close with Jiwon hyung! You guys aren't really falling for those absurd rumors, are you? Jiwon hyung and I are just really good friends!

[Kwon Jung-woo just got dumped LOLOLOL] [What will Kwon Jeongwu do? TTTTTTTT] [Jiwon is even cheating, he's got skills LOLOLOL]

Hey, be quiet.

Thinking about it, Jiwon doing this is upsetting.

We're out of town for training.

Not only did he not answer our calls,

but you're already gotten so close to Kim Hyoseok.

Hey, stop it.

Why?

Hey, Kwon Jeongwu.

People are talking about you getting dumped by Jiwon

and that Jiwon has changed a boyfriend so casually.

But from a certain point of view,

it's a good thing for

restoring Jiwon's image.

You're so noisy.

Be quiet.

Rest time's up. Gather around.

-Okay! -Okay!

[Kwon Jeongwu]

I told you to call me, Jiwon.

To call me as soon as your phone is fixed.

So I was going to call you.

Shouldn't you tell me

before that clarification post was uploaded?

If it's about Hyoseok,

don't worry about it.

As you know, he's just my friend.

Jiwon.

I'm the same too.

Huh?

I'm saying...

in front of others, I'm also just your friend.

Just close friends.

Yeah...

If we were just friends,

you wouldn't be so upset.

What?

If we were just friends,

you wouldn't mind who I'm dating.

And I wouldn't have to say things like

you have a girlfriend.

What?

Jeongwu.

I...

always imagine us breaking up.

What do you want?

Do you want

to make our relationship public?

Or you just want

me gone from your side?

If this is what you want, I'll do just that.

If this is really what you want,

I can do it.

You've been dating girls all along,

it must be hard to date a guy, right?

It's all my fault.

I'm sorry, Jeongwu.

I know I shouldn't have said that.

Jiwon.

Do you want me to date a girl as soon as possible?

No.

That's not it.

I don't want to see me ruin your career.

What?

To an athlete, reputation is very important.

I know how hard you've worked to get where you are.

I don't want your efforts to go down the drain

because of me.

What about my feelings?

Can't you see I'm hurt?

I get hurt too.

Why do you want to carry this burden alone?

Can't you just tell me?

We're going through this together, Jiwon.

If it's too hard for you,

you can be selfish to me.

I can bear my own suffering.

Don't always feel sorry for me.

Don't try to understand me.

You just need to be greedy.

Do you hate me?

No.

It's not like that.

Let's...

give each other some time to think about it.

[In the next episode]

You've been so sensitive lately.

Is it because your relationship isn't going well?

Stop going around talking about others' privacy.

Then prove it to me.

What?

I don't know how much you like me.

I'm dating Jeongwu.

You must have seduced Jiwon.

I seduced him first.

Are you nervous?

Yes.

It's my first time.
