"So this is Hanyang University."
I buttoned up my coat against the biting winter wind and entered the campus.
"It's winter break, but it's deserted."
Only a few students were scattered around, making the campus feel empty.
The memory of not being able to go to college ...
"Wow, there are four rooms! Dad, can I have this one?"
"Oh my, oh my, look at the spacious kitchen! We could play soccer in the living room!"

After school, in the training room, we were receiving feedback on today’s practice match.
Devon spoke while Jack and I listened attentively.
“Listen while you exercise.”
Sure, why not? It didn’t seem like a bad idea to combine training and feedback.
The problem...
“Ah, I feel a cough coming on.”
Jack discreetly excused himself, pretending to head to the restroom.
Devon, clueless about what was going on, simply blinked in confusion.
