86. It’s honestly an incomprehensible case.

Two weeks have already passed since I arrived in California, USA.

In the meantime, Kyu-ha has adapted to the dorm, and has been spending his daily life meeting with the triumph over production team in his spare time. There was still some time left before the full-scale filming schedule, so Kyu-ha went to the LPF gym and practiced fighting.

The road to the LPF gym.

Gyu-ha always jogged to the gym. It was because I really liked the quiet residential streets of California.

The road without a single high-rise building was more than four times wider than Korea, giving an open feeling, and on both sides were neatly arranged large and small houses and green lawns.

It was a simple and neat street.

hook hook hook.

Gyu-ha was holding something in her right hand and running hard, but Geum-bi was quietly holding her in her arms. After coming to America, Geumbi hated being alone at home. So we started going to the gym together, but when we arrived at the gym, I sat in the corner and quietly watched Kyuha train, so it didn’t cause any problems.

I arrived at the gym and opened the door.

The sour smell of sweat.

The sound of mitts echoing everywhere.

“hello. Good morning.”

When Kyuha entered the gym, Josh welcomed him.

“Good morning Song.”

But Josh’s eyes were staring at only one place, not Kyu-Ha. It was Geumbi held by Gyuha.

“Oh my God! How was our goldy~ Today, you are still so VERIVERY so MUCH cute.”

“Nyaaang.”

Gyuha told her that it was Geumbi, but she couldn’t pronounce it, so she called her Goldie. After that, everyone in the gym started calling her Goldie.

Contrary to his rambunctious appearance, Josh was a huge fan of cats. Even though he already has three cats at home, he fell in love with Geum-bi as soon as he saw her.

Josh recognized Geumbi’s genius and uniqueness and tried to attract attention, but Geumbi seemed to be avoiding Josh as if he was burdensome.

“Today, you are still so cool and shy, Goldie. Song. Are you going to train alone this morning?”

“Yeah. After warming up, I have to train with Ricky again in the afternoon.”

Confused, Josh shook his head.

“Oh my God… I think Song is the only person who casually talks about sparring with Ricky. Ricky got it right too. Ha ha.”

Then someone opened the gym door and came in.

drooling.

“Hello!! Good morning!”

“Speak of the devil! Ricky That guy can’t even be a nobleman. The timing is amazing.”

“You were cursing at me again? Stop cursing. On the way back, I thought I was going to die of itchy ears.”

“My pleasure is living while swearing at you, so you want me to give up on that? Arthur Arthur. Don’t be silly and get ready to exercise quickly!”

“Yeah~ yeah.”

Ricky approached Kyuha.

“Hey~ bro! did you sleep well? Goldie looks good today too.”

“Nyaaang.”

“Ricky, you look good today too.”

Ricky naturally stroked Geumbi’s hair, but Geumbi didn’t reject it either. One of the few people in this gym who could touch Geumbi was Ricky. For about a month, Ricky and Kyu-ha became like friends and got along without fault.

It was only natural that from the first day, Ricky suggested that Kyuha train together. Ricky, who participated in Kyu-ha’s training program, was literally on the verge of fainting, but gave his tongue to Kyu-ha’s training, which repeated murderous training at short intervals.

‘I’ve never thought I’d be pushed anywhere with my stamina, but Song is…’

Ricky, who was embarrassing that he was not a professional player and was pushed by an incumbent actor due to his physical strength, began to grit his teeth and follow Kyu-ha’s training program from the next day, and now his stamina has increased to the point where he can stay with him until the end of the program.

“Well then! I slept a lot today so I wouldn’t be embarrassed, so I’m in the best condition. You can look forward to it!”

“Are you expecting that? Then let’s go.”

After a while.

“Hee-h-h-h-h-h-hh.”

drip drip drip.

Can I show the words that sweat pours like a waterfall so well? There were puddles of water from Ricky’s sweat on the floor due to the severe interval training.

‘What kind of training has Song been doing? You still seem to have stamina.’

Gyuha, who was resting next to him, also sweated a lot, but he seemed more relaxed than Ricky.

beep profit.

When the alarm sounded again announcing the start of the set, Kyuha stood up.

“Jaegil!! Why are you ringing so fast?”

Ricky, who woke up crying and eating mustard, followed Kyu-ha again. After the physical training was over, and after a short break, the full-fledged punching bag training began.

Pang Pong Pang! boom boom! phut!

“Wow…”

The officials had no choice but to stop training at the sound of punching bags reverberating through the gym.

pop! Boom! boom boom!

Is this the sound of a cannon ball exploding?

Kyu-Ha put a combination of hits into the punching bag while taking light steps, but the power was by no means light.

“The destructive power of each fist is insane. Even if it gets hit by one, it will stretch right away.”

From the side, Ricky looked at Kyuha’s punch with an expression of boredom. Perhaps he thought he couldn’t stay still, so he gritting his teeth and stood at the punching bag next to Kyu-ha.

“I can’t. I will follow you somehow.”

With Ricky joining in, the LPF gym was deafened by the sound of punching bags. Strangely, however, it infused listeners with strange excitement and tickling passion.

“Oh my heart is boiling. that sounds really cool I have to work even harder.”

Watching Ricky and Kyuha’s training, the other players also started to get a lot of stimulation, and they started to digest intensive training even though no one told them to. And there was someone who looked at it with satisfaction.

“After Song came in, the atmosphere in the gym completely changed. Ricky and the other players seem to be very stimulated by Song. not only…”

Josh turned his head to the right.

“Nyaaang.”

“We even got a mascot for our gym. So cutie~ Lovely~ Goldie~!”

Geum-bi, who was sitting on a gym chair watching Kyu-ha, disappeared as quickly as Josh approached.

“It’s so attractive to bounce like that. Will Goldie understand my feelings someday?”

While Josh is delusional on his own, two people enter the gym.

“uh? Team leader Eva, are you here?”

It was Eva, the production team leader of Triumph Over. Next to him was a man who appeared to be in his 50s, wearing a black hat and a messy beard.

“Hello, manager. How you doing? I was worried that just because you were helping us shoot, you were ruining the atmosphere in the gym.”

At that, Josh waved his hand.

“Don’t talk like that. After Song came in, the kids at our gym got hotter. Of course, the mascot… Oh no, that’s not it. Anyway, I’d like to thank you. Song is… It’s hard to say this, but even if you stick with most professional players, you won’t be pushed back. I’m a guy with a reputation for being as accurate as my own eyes, right? There are obviously physical weaknesses that Asians have, but I even think that those things are meaningless to Song.”

At that time, the man next to me asked with a curious expression.

“Do you really mean that much? Aren’t you just saying it’s nice to hear?”

At that, Josh responded with a bad taste.

“What is it? I’m a person who can’t talk empty words. But who are you?”

Eva must have felt sorry for her, so she hurriedly introduced the man next to her.

“Oops! It’s too late to say hello. This is director Jonathan Miller. Have you ever heard of it?”

Josh’s eyes widened.

“Huh! Seo, the same director Jonathan Miller who made ‘Furimax’!? Oh, my God! Today, God is giving me a gift for several years at once. I am a huge fan. Director!! Have you seen the movie 10 times? It is an honor to meet you.”

Eva was taken aback by Josh’s sudden change of attitude.

“ha ha ha. It’s quite an old piece, but there are people who remember it. nice to meet you. My name is Jonathan Miller. This time, I was in charge of directing Triumph Over. I came to say hello to the cast. But is what you just said true? I’m asking because it’s so hard to believe, so please don’t be too offended.”

Josh nodded in agreement.

“I fully understand. It would be hard for anyone to believe. There is a gap that can never be crossed between pros and amateurs in martial arts. That’s why many amateurs get frustrated because they can’t overcome the professional wall. Obviously that’s right, but Song… To be honest, it’s a case that I can’t understand.”

“Which one?”

“Everything! Unbelievable stamina, hitting after hitting, ground on ground, seasoned game management ability, and even courage. Well, let’s concede 100 times and let’s say that the hitting and the ground are like that. But this courage and fighting spirit have to be born, right? Anyway, if it wasn’t for the actor, I would have gotten down on my knees and begged him to debut as a TFC player.”

“Huh…is that enough?”

Eva, who was next to her, helped.

“I certainly did, Director. The reason we changed actors at the last minute was for a reason. You must have felt bad, but it was because I had the confidence to convince the director that much.”

“Hmm…”

In fact, until I found this place, director Jonathan Miller was not in a good mood. It was because I was informed that the casting of Peter, one of the important roles, had been replaced by a Korean actor from a Chinese actor.

Of course, at the time of the contract with Complex, it is true that the head office decided to prioritize the casting rights, but I thought I would at least discuss it, but it was unpleasant to change it arbitrarily.

So, in my heart, if I didn’t like the Korean actor I saw today, I thought I’d say something bitter to Eva’s team leader. However, contrary to expectations, I became curious about his unusualness coming from all directions.

“It’s time for some sparring training, so let’s go watch it together.”

“Yes, I like it. let’s go Director.”

Coincidentally, Kyuha and Ricky, wearing shin leggings and headgear, were warming up by taking light steps on top of the Octagon gym.

“Looks like you’re thinking of touch sparring.”

sometimes.

When the gong rang, Ricky and Kyuha got into a fighting stance and started throwing punches at each other. It was a fist that he threw out in a relaxed state, but the speed was too fast for the eyes of ordinary people to follow.

Hiss hiss.

“Oh my gosh…”

Director Jonathan Miller’s mouth opened slightly. Even if you are not familiar with martial arts, you can fully understand that the level of sparring you are seeing now is by no means unusual.

“Ricky. Did you say that your next opponent will be Angel Deanda? Then, it would be advantageous to strategize mainly on leg kicks.”

Puck puck puck.

Continuing the punch workshop, Ricky listened to Kyuha.

“When I saw his game video, he was a player with a typical upright stance. A player with excellent hitting skills. You’re not bad at hitting either, but you don’t have to go head-to-head with opponents who are longer than you. Players of that style are centered and most of the weight is on the front foot, so they are inevitably vulnerable to leg kicks.”

puck.

Kyuha’s unexpected jab landed on Ricky’s face.

“If it were me, I would keep trying leg kicks from the beginning to make my legs crippled, and from the middle to the second half, I would take a strategy to see the game on the ground.”

Ricky’s expression brightened as if he had realized something from those words.

“thanks. Song. It was a big help. Can you watch my leg kick starting tomorrow?”

Director Jonathan Miller, who was watching the scene, looked at Josh and asked.

“Is that the actor you will be working with? It’s definitely a great move.”

Josh seemed embarrassed by director Jonathan Miller’s innocent question.

“Nope. He’s Ricky Ra, my student, and he’s a professional… He’s also the #4 TFC welterweight…”

Miller’s eyes widened.

“Then the person who just taught me can’t be…”

Then Eva’s team leader intervened.

“Yes. Coach, he is Song Kyu-ha, the last to join the triumph over.”

Director Jonathan Miller’s eyes widened at Eva’s words.
