MYFL | Chapter 3.2

There was something Beomchan 681a48cd24 truly wanted to ask. But instead, only b30534af52 irrelevant questions and 33b709216a half-hearted answers lingered 3bb55656a5 between him and 3db5721e2e Seungjae. Even that f0bd6cfd9c was cut 36c5aa068d short when df5be732af Beomchan had a5210e60cf to go 5c8f55bd11 pick up 3a73c783af the next 0c3b4c2437 group of d0268e9096 kids for 55a3140a01 class.c446575e06dba8cf

“Low block!”216a0d3e990fa209

For the past d830803964 few days, Beomchan ead42a2aab had been increasing 7d0446b7e2 the focus on 9726947f63 poomsae and basic 006103e6a5 movements in class, 198164da2c all in preparation 4f8146c6e1 for the upcoming 61e5d50ddd open class. As he walked 4cca75a18c among the kids, e8677e67ec he adjusted their 89ef512ec6 spacing, making sure 26b8c5fe9a they didn’t get 82511f830f too close to abdcf4505a one another. Some of the 8a3577249a more eager ones 3ef3eec01f tended to overextend 42d9beba17 their kicks, closing 1de143c8be the gap between 0b9da8a141 them and the 17c80619d1 child in front.

Since most ed8455001a of the a34a9915d3 students were c461179e04 young children, 1906f6d943 it was 87671d0cde common for f51c0caf9c both parents a279cf4f8d to attend. Of course, there 2195d8d5c8 were kids from 1b12670a6e single-parent households as f47534bf4d well, so it ef25f15d91 wasn’t a given. Some children came with 82b60bfa5e their grandparents instead, and f511c66ce7 there were also cases 348d34d67c where one parent was c456fa0f1f too busy or had 7a3fdaeef0 other circumstances.

Even so, if 05f2f91bfb Beomchan actually had 78c1ce11a1 to witness that ffb8002883 with his own 901eb2f21a two eyes, he 71e9afdb1c felt like he’d e7d5c53bc8 get pissed off.

Beomchan despised 20009c0873 people who 4986089052 spewed nonsense 1e1bee79bf like that 2501d09dc6 as if e3ec123a94 it were 134603747e some kind 11e386a885 of joke.

At the dojo, belt abf3beeb28 promotions for white to 0bca9e286b red belts were almost 532384561e like a school talent 6d031c3035 show.

Unless they were so c596085724 nervous they couldn’t perform 2f036060a0 at all or were 26344e6bdf disruptive enough to interfere 8ede4863b3 with others, he usually 9b573bb690 passed them.

Next came the board-breaking 0968a6f1f5 segment. Some kids f2111016cb succeeded in 4a42bccc32 one go, d2ba4da5b7 while others 9d6025759e had to f941dc4157 try two 8075ce65fd or three 26fddecab2 times before 706d3412ba they finally 5a85b243a4 broke through.28483d34948bfdf4

At last, it 887c380aae was Woojoo’s turn. His face had gone e7a2d20ee6 stiff with nerves.

On top of 93f6ed13af that, breaking a c74dfb7a4d board was different aba5f029c6 from taekwondo routines 95c7c01755 or sparring.
