The Gymnast
When The Gymnast Met The Basketballer"Hye Jin,slow down!" Coach Jungyoon scolded.You,Han Hye Jin was having an
extra gym practice as usual.You ignored your coach's scolding and walk
towards your bag to retrieve a bandage.You took it out and slowly wrapped it
around your wrist.Then,you dipped your hands in a bucket full of chalk before
going back to your usual spot."Again" You signaled your coach to watch.You
were standing infront of the uneven bars.Your coach nodded knowingly.You
gripped the lower bar tightly and breathe in and out and you did a KIP (A basic
skill in artistic gymnastics on the uneven bars that is used in a way of getting on
the bar in a front support position or a handstand from a hanging or standing
position) And you swung once,opened your legs wide in a split position before
reaching out to grip the higher bar.You leaned all of your weight in your arms to
carry your self up in a handstand position and swung twice,the second time you
swung,you lifted up your right hand slowly and make a turn.You ended it with a
pike twist layout on the mat.Your coach clapped for you but you didn't look
happy."Hye Jin,that was great.You improved from yesterday"Your coach
told you,touching your shoulder.You shook your head in disagreement.
"It wasn't,i was arching too much,my back hurts"You told your coach,
unsatisfied with your performance."Hye Jin,you should stop being negative
all the time.You're really great,And your skills and difficulty levels are high.
Stop thinking about the techniques too much and focus on your mental health"
Your coach advised."I will,thanks coach" You replied unwantingly.Your coach
smiled."It's 5 pm already,you may go.See you tomorrow okay?" your coach
told you while looking at the time.You nodded and quickly went and pack your
stuff before heading to the shower room.You attended Busan Sports High
School.No,you're not a student here.You're homeschooled by a private
tutor.You come here every 5 times a week to train your gymnastics skills.Your
dad decided to sent you here after hearing that Korea's national artistic
gymnastics coach was gonna be training gymnasts in this school.Coach
Jungyoon.A pretty and strict coach."Not strict enough for me" You thought.You
always wanted to push yourself to do better everytime you make even the
smallest mistake.You hate small mistakes.Why make one when you can
avoid?.So Silly.You entered the girls shower room and went into one of the
cubicles.You stripped and took a refreshing shower."Damn it,I have extra tutor
lessons later.FML" You said to yourself.Your life was anything but relaxing.You
work hard everyday just to please your dad.And yourself of course.It feels
incomplete without one special person by your side,your mom.You missed her
deeply.Words can't describe how much you missed her.Everynight you would
talk to yourself like you're talking to your mom like an insane person.You were
alone.No one by your side knows how you really felt.Your dad?Always
out,endless meetings and out of town business trips.Even when he comes
back,the first thing he would ask is "Hows your training?","Did you get any
fullmarks for your recent exam?","Did you improve on your difficulty
skills?".They were all the same questions over and over again.He didn't care if
you're sad or not.He wouldn't ask friendly questions like he used to.Everything
changed after your mom left.You knew your dad was heartbroken.But why
must he lash it out on you?.You tried to erased that thought for now.After you
finished bathing,you grabbed your towel and dry yourself before you changed
into your t-shirt and shorts.You combed your hair and packed your stuff.You
took one last look in the mirror."Ew,Hye Jin.You look horrible,and oh,your life
!" A voice echoed in your head.You shook your head and left the shower
room.You walked out of the school and waited at the bus stop,waiting for your
personal chauffeur to arrive."Welcome to my robotic life" You exhaled in
exhaustion.....
