章 53: Go Woo-Chan's disagreement (3)

Go Woo-chan said something that instantly made the atmosphere awkward. The people around him shifted uncomfortably, but he didn't care. Coach Hong merely furrowed his brow, puzzled by the young man's behavior.

"Young man, why are you so weak? At your age, with so many opportunities ahead, you should be thinking about your future seriously. You need to be honest with yourself, look in the mirror, and ask: where are you going? Do you understand what I mean?"

Go Woo-chan could only stare at Coach Hong, utterly confused. The question felt like a sharp stab from an unexpected direction. How could someone he'd just met today speak as if they knew everything about him?

"Sir, that's a different matter," he replied stiffly.

"I just want to win, even if I'm up against a gang of thugs."

Coach Hong chuckled softly, though there was something hidden behind his sharp gaze. "Haha... This kid."
