Racket Boys (라켓소년단)

Can't you serve properly? Coach Jang was way better than you.

All right. Another one, coming up.

Here you go.

Yes, that's it! You did great.

Let's take a break.

Please…

MAPO SPORTS CENTER DEPOSIT 2,400,000 WON

Is it pay day?

A new barbecue place opened nearby.

Pork belly barbecue…

-How about three servings? -Really?

Thanks for treating me.

Never mind. What would I expect from you?

I can't even afford to buy chicken for my kids.

By the way, I heard you're going to coach in another region.

About that, my senior is the director of a team at some school.

I was offered a house and double my salary.

But it's five hours away from Seoul. Want to go there instead?

What are you talking about? Why would I go into exile?

Exactly. I'm still thinking about it.

Hyeon-jong, you're the umpire tomorrow, right?

Shout in for all the teams I mentioned, okay?

In, even if it's slightly out of the line.

I told you I won't do that. It doesn't feel right.

What if I get caught?

I'm the chair of the committee. There's nothing to worry about.

You said you needed money.

We still used to be athletes.

We may be poor, but we have class.

If you keep obsessing over class all your life,

you'll lose your money, your love,

and eventually, you'll lose class as well.

So think about it and call me.

My gosh.

JEONG-YONG

-What is it? - Then do you want to help with moving?

It's 200 thousand won, especially for you. Deal?

Really? 200 thousand?

Well, I might pull a shoulder.

-Where is it? - The gym across the street.

Jeez.

A gym? Are you kidding me? I'm not doing it!

I should ask the same thing. Are you kidding me? Where's the rent?

Hello.

I'm not in the mood to say hello.

If you don't send me the past four months' rent,

I'm kicking you out.

I just got paid today.

I can send it to you right away.

My gosh. I've heard that so many times, I have it memorized.

She's so harsh.

I told you, I'll send the money.

I have around two million won, you know.

That's great. Hae-kang's membership fee and training camp fee

is exactly two million.

Sir. I didn't mean…

Please send the money on time.

What?

This is driving me crazy.

Sir, I want to ask…

Why is the training camp fee so expensive? Two million won?

We're going to Saipan this year.

Will he train individually if he can't go to the training camp?

Yes, but if he doesn't attend,

he won't be able to enter the Spring competition.

Can't you just enlist him first?

I have to pay the rent today, so I'm just one million short.

I swear I'll send the money by tomorrow.

I'm sorry,

but it's our policy that you pay the fee first.

Of course.

May I ask how many spots are left?

There are five people who haven't paid yet,

and there's just one entry spot left.

All right, then. I'll come back tomorrow.

But I never heard anything about paying for the training camp.

We gave the kids notice papers about it.

That was over a month ago.

-Match your steps! -One, two, three, four.

One, two.

One, two. One, two.

-Coach Yoon. -Hello, sir. Gather round.

-Okay. -Okay.

You don't pay your membership fees or training fees.

Is this your fault or your parents' fault?

Sorry, sir!

There's only one spot left, you know.

Thirty laps.

Only the first place gets in.

Okay, get ready. Warm up properly.

-Yes, sir. -Yes, sir.

-Hey, do your best. -Of course.

It'll be Hae-kang or Him-chan for sure.

It'll obviously be Him-chan. Congratulations.

Hey, stop that. I'd feel sorry. Hae-kang's here too.

Cut that nonsense.

I can beat you guys even if I hop.

Right. Hae-kang runs fast, too.

But not as good as Him-chan. He used to be in track.

JEONGSEOK MIDDLE SCHOOL

YOON HAE-KANG

LEE HIM-CHAN

Yoon Hae-kang. First place.

You really are something.

Let's go!

COMMITTEE, JUDGES

In!

Yes!

Ump! Are you kidding me?

How can that be in?

Did you receive bribes from them?

-What… -What?

How can you say that?

It was obviously out!

It fell in and bounced out!

-It fell outside the line! -You are all worked up.

-You must've been mistaken-- -It was out!

Please calm down. It dropped near the line…

It's out, but you said it was in!

We lost because of that!

-What's wrong with you? -Please calm down!

-How could you do this? -Please!

-Give us our win! -What are you going to do about this?

Hey. You said you needed money, right?

Just call in, no matter what.

It's not fraud, you idiot. I would never commit fraud.

Everything went well for Hyeon-jong today too.

GREAT GYM

I must've lost my mind.

UNDER REPAIR OUT OF ORDER

No way.

I'm going to kill him.

Where is it?

Jeez.

Darn it.

Jeong-yong, that jerk…

BASEBALL CLUB

Hello.

Hello, sir.

Hello, Mr. Yoon.

Yes.

I'm really sorry,

but if you just give me more time, I'll send the money by tomorrow.

I'm just short by 300 thousand.

Isn't there any way to get Hae-kang enlisted?

Didn't you hear from Hae-kang?

The director said the one

who gets first place in the training session will get in.

And Hae-kang won first place.

Is that so?

But still, I promise to send the fees.

You don't need to give it to us now.

No, I still should.

We're supposed to pay for it anyway.

Parents these days are really amazing.

-Yoon Hae-kang! -Yes, sir!

He's really competitive, isn't he? He won by a whole lap.

I'm so jealous. He can enter without even paying.

Hae-kang is our team's ace.

It's just that the other parents make a fuss about him not paying.

I'm sure Coach wants him too.

-Right. -Right.

Your throw is great these days. And your stamina has improved.

Thank you.

I've talked with the director,

and the one who'll enter the competition

will be Him-chan.

What? Not me?

You just said my throws were great.

And I came first place in running laps.

You know how hard I've trained!

-He paid. -What?

Him-chan's father just paid the training fee.

Parents these days are really amazing.

Him-chan's father used to work at a large firm before he retired.

Please take good care of Him-chan.

But he worked part-time at convenience stores

and worked since dawn to earn money for the fees.

Gosh, you scared me.

Yes! Chicken! What's the occasion?

Son, you're late.

Yes, I was playing games with my friends.

It smells amazing.

I heard about the training camp.

Why didn't you tell me I had to pay for it?

It slipped my mind.

The first place running laps could get in.

I got second place, though.

You know Him-chan, right? He used to be in track and field.

I'll win first place next time. Don't worry.

The chicken's going to get cold. I'm off.

Please pay for Yoon Hae-in's treatment within two days.

Treatment fee, 258,000 won.

FEBRUARY, 2021

Are you done packing?

Come on!

Hae-in, tell your brother we'll leave without him

if he doesn't hurry.

Hae-in, tell Dad to stop annoying me.

Well, he's going to leave me so he isn't my dad now.
