Thumping Spike (Pounding Spike / Dugeundugeun Seupaikeu / 두근두근 스파이크)

I'm sorry for hitting you.

It continued to bother me.

Don't worry about it.

I was going to tell the reporters...

why I had no choice but to become a coach.

When I'm no longer able to play on the court

I wondered if they'd understand me... or if they'd misunderstand.

Even though it's risky...

I was about to put everything on the line.

I thought you would get hurt if you stayed at the residence

and that's why I told you to leave.

Because I can't protect you...

Because of my selfishness...

I hurt you even more.

Win the President's Cup.

Hanbit University...

I hope you can go.

Thank you.

I'll treasure this one.

Does he like me?

Oh, no way. I must be crazy. Kang Se Ra, you're a coach!

But... I quit that job...

and if he likes me...

Oh my god, I'm crazy.

You're a student, and I'm a teacher!

And I'm slowly going insane...

Get your head together, Kang Se Ra.

Who's that?

Baek Woo Jin!

What did you do all day?

Do you know what time it is?

That kid...

When were you going to tell me?

If you want to terminate our contract, go ahead.

You never intended to renew our contract, did you?

I haven't received my down payment yet

but since a contract is a contract, I'll pay the cancellation fee.

You grew up, Kang Se Ra.

Terminate our contract? I won't do that.

Representative!

How will I use Kang Se Ra, who can no longer play volleyball?

Aren't you curious?

He's not answering.

Do you think he's sick?

Has Woo Jin ever skipped practice because he was sick?

- That's true... - What's going on?

Okay! Let's start practice!

- Okay! - Okay!

Let's go.

Louder, louder!

Where did Woo Jin go?

What is he doing? Why isn't he answering?

Jung Eul Young?

Hey, Jung Eul Young!

Hey, Jung Eul Young!

- Coach? - Coach!

Hi.

- Hello. - Hello.

Practice! Keep practicing...

How did they know it was me?

Does she call that a disguise?

What? You haven't seen Woo Jin?

That's strange.

When I called him yesterday, he said he was practicing and told me not to worry.

Last night?

Yeah... last night...

before I saw you.

Why are you hiding your face?

I should be the one to do that!

Oh, sorry about that... I was caught off guard.

Did I look like a volleyball?

Hey, of course not! I won't do that next time.

Really? Then... I'll look forward to next time.

What?

Wait, that's not what I meant...

Guys! Let's end it here for today!

- Sure! - Okay!

- Good work! - Good job everyone!

Coach, when are you coming back to the residence?

What?

Hey, after the reporters mobbed us the other day...

- Why does that matter? - But they corrected that false report.

What about practice? You'll continue to coach us, won't you?

About that...

Yes, Representative.

It won't be impactful if you walk into the hospital on your own two feet.

So I was thinking...

that we would hold a game in which you will participate.

If you collapse at an appropriate time, an ambulance will take you away.

In an interview with the medical team, we will expose your injury to the world.

What will happen then? You will win them over with pity!

That's when we will transition it to an interview with you!

Yes! Just like that!

That's how we will reveal it to the entertainment world.

This is our plan.

You'll use my injury... to get their pity?

No, no. No need to look at it so negatively.

Secretary Kim.

Leave us.

I'm not good at anything but volleyball, and I'm okay with that.

I held my first volleyball when I was eleven years old.

My desire was to play as an athlete for over thirty years until I was forty!

Not even my family knows this dream of mine.

But someone who knows that...

Was this what you meant?

When you said you were going to use me?
