Chapter 457:
Han Jinho immediately chose a snowboard, while the others hesitated for a moment.
They had thought about it beforehand, but both ski and snowboard equipment looked fun when they saw them.
“Should I go with ski since it\'s my first time?”
“Snowboarding is harder because your feet are tied together, but skiing is easier because you can walk and use poles.”
Park Si-young answered Yang Ju-hee\'s question and pointed at Han Jinho. He had already put on his rented snowboard and was struggling to move.
The beginners Yang Ju-hee and Jeon Seong-min didn\'t think twice and picked ski.
“Then should we go with snowboard?”
“Let\'s do that.”Seo-jun, who was good at all sports, and Kim Joo-kyung, who loved winter sports, decided to go with snowboard.
“They’ll be flying around.”
“Seriously.”
Park Si-young, who preferred ski over snowboard, chose ski, while Kang Jae-han, who was not as good as Seo-jun and Kim Joo-kyung but could handle snowboard well, chose snowboard.
That\'s how the ski team and the snowboard team were formed, and the kids who got their equipment went outside where the snow was white. They thought they came early, but they saw people who arrived earlier having fun.
“Let\'s start with learning how to fall.”
The ski team, Park Si-young taught Yang Ju-hee and Jeon Seong-min, while the snowboard team, seo-jun and Kim Joo-kyung taught Han Jinho and Kang Jae-han.
“When you fall, land on your butt. Don\'t try to catch yourself with your hands or you\'ll hurt your wrist.”
“You don\'t know when someone will come down from behind, so get up as soon as you fall. If you need a break, you have to go down to the bottom.”
Safety. Safety again.
Seo-jun and the kids paid attention to safety and explained carefully. The kids who were learning also listened well.
And 30 minutes later.
The kids who got used to ski and snowboard started to have fun.
***
“This is so fun!”
The kids who had bright smiles on their faces went to the food court inside the building for lunch.
They lifted their hard goggles that protected their eyes from the snow to their foreheads and bought their favorite food.
They gathered around one table.
“I thought I was going to starve.”
“Me too!”
“Ahh. It\'s warm.”
The sun was high in the sky, but it was cold enough that they all wanted similar types of food.
The table was full of warm soup dishes.
The kids’ faces relaxed as they sipped the hot broth.
“Seo-jun and Joo-kyung can go to the advanced course now, right?”
Kang Jae-han\'s words made the others nod.
They had stayed on the beginner and intermediate courses with their friends, but Seo-jun and Kim Joo-kyung were clearly skilled.
“Yeah. You guys look too bored on these courses.”
“It\'s okay if you go to the advanced course because of us.”
The friends said to Seo-jun and Kim Joo-kyung, who were eating soft tofu stew and seafood noodle soup respectively.
“We were going to go there after lunch anyway.”
“We’ll be back in an hour after having some fun.”
“You can stay longer. We’ll come watch you.”
Han Jinho said and everyone laughed and nodded.
***
“I’ll go down first.”
“Okay.”
Kim Joo-kyung, who wore goggles, slid down like a glide.
Chwaaak! Every time she turned sideways, the piled-up snow rose lightly like a spray of water. She saw her friends waving their arms from below at her cool appearance.
The people next to Seo-jun also exclaimed in admiration.
It was an advanced course, so it was higher and steeper than the beginner and intermediate courses.
There were also small and large jumps that were good for showing off one\'s skills.
“Wow!”
Joo-kyung went up on a jump and leaped into the air.
And landed lightly.
Clap clap! The applause that Joo-kyung couldn\'t hear came from Seo-jun, who fixed his goggles that he had been wearing on his forehead and shook his boots lightly that were attached to his snowboard.
The boots were tightly locked and didn\'t seem to fall off.
He looked around.
He was glad there weren\'t many people, because he had to be careful not to go in the same direction as others when there were many people.
Seo-jun slowly moved forward.
The end of his snowboard caught on the slope.
He balanced himself by putting his weight on his right foot that was behind him.
‘One, two.’
He leaned his upper body forward and the snowboard started to slide down the slope.
He slid fast on the white snow and turned to the right.
Just like when Joo-kyung did it, the white snow that was piled up rose like a small fountain and then settled down.
He gained more speed and felt the cold wind blowing on his face, but it felt cool and refreshing.
His lips curled up naturally.
He saw a small jump in his narrowed vision due to the goggles.
Seo-jun went up on the jump with the same speed as he came down and jumped into the air.
And grabbed.
He curled his body in the air and grabbed the board in the middle of his feet with his right hand.
Ooh!
He thought he heard his friends’ cheers.
He smiled lightly and landed gently, then headed for the next jump.
He shifted his center of gravity forward and slowed down for a moment.
And then sped up again.
And jumped again!
This time, he spun.
Whirl whirl. He spun two times sideways in the air and landed.
Swoosh.
That\'s how Seo-jun and Joo-kyung, who showed off various tricks on their snowboards, slid down to their friends one after another.
Instead of clap clap, the sound of thick gloves hitting each other was heard.
“You guys are flying!”
“Seo-jun and Joo-kyung are really good!”
“It\'s like watching a winter Olympics game!”
The friends praised Seo-jun and Joo-kyung, who laughed heartily.
***
Two hours before the lift tickets for the afternoon ended.
The sun that had been in the east was now setting in the west, and the kids were also skiing and snowboarding skillfully.
“Huh? What\'s that?”
Seo-jun and Kim Joo-kyung, who had enjoyed the advanced course enough, and the kids who had become proficient in skiing and snowboarding, were having fun on the intermediate course when they tilted their heads at the sight of people flocking to one side.
It seemed unusually bright over there.
“They’re filming Working Man over there!”
“Really? Let\'s go see!”
The kids’ eyes widened at the voices of the people who came by and looked at Seo-jun.
He had been talking and laughing with his friends until a moment ago, but he silently pulled down his goggles that were on his forehead.
The kids laughed at his natural gesture that covered half of his face.
“Should we ski or snowboard?”
“Let\'s go. Everyone else is going to watch, so it\'s quiet here.”
The kids got on the lift again and went up. It seemed that the news of [Working Man!] coming had spread to the upper part as well.
“They’re filming a promotion for Babel Tower!”
“Babel Tower? Did the actors come too?”
“Yeah! Four of them!”
This conversation caught Seo-jun\'s attention as well.
He couldn\'t see his expression well because the goggles covered half of his face, but it seemed like that.
Seeing Seo-jun\'s reaction, his friends realized something.
“Come to think of it, choi So-yeong sunbae is in Babel Tower.”
“Did she come?”
Choi So-yeong.
A friend of Lee Da-jin who was the same age as him, and an actress who played the main character ‘Dream’ in the children\'s play [Spring].
She was also well acquainted with Seo-jun, who played the role of Cheongryong in [Spring].
“Should we go see?”
“Nah. It\'s okay. I’ll contact her later, or something. And I don\'t even know if So-yeong noona came.”
He thought that if there were about four actors from [Babel Tower] as guests, choi So-yeong, the female lead, would have come too, but he was afraid of disturbing the filming, so he shook his head at his friends’ questions.
20 minutes later.
Seo-jun and the kids who had fun skiing and snowboarding came down and headed to the lift to go up again. At that moment, the main topic of conversation a while ago appeared in front of the kids wearing goggles.
“Excuse me. Is it okay to film?”
It was actress Choi So-yeong.
***
SBC’s Wednesday-Thursday drama scheduled to air in March. [Babel Tower].
A drama about interpreters based on the story of how one language was divided into dozens of languages by God\'s punishment when they tried to reach God by building a high tower.
Four actors from [Babel Tower] appeared on [Working Man!] for promotion.
The new location they moved to after playing games at the previous filming site was a ski resort.
“Wow. A ski resort!”
“I want to ski!”
Both the Working Man members and the actors from [Babel Tower] exclaimed at the sight of the snow-covered ski resort.
The camera that was filming the ski resort turned to the members.
There were 12 people in total: eight Working Man members and four actors from [Babel Tower].
The four actors from [Babel Tower] were team leaders and four teams were formed.
“Then I’ll tell you about this game.”
The Working Man PD handed out four mission papers to the members.
“You have to find ordinary people who match the conditions written on these mission papers and solve the problems together. The time to find people and solve problems will be added together and ranked.”
The Working Man members smiled brightly as if it would be easy, while the four team leaders stepped forward and picked a mission paper.
“So-yeong noona! Please pick an easy person!”
“So-yeong!”
Choi So-yeong\'s team members, Jung-hoon and Park Young-jin, prayed as Choi So-yeong, the team leader of Choi So-yeong\'s team, carefully picked one.
[Goggles, snowboard, freshman male student]
Choi So-yeong\'s team blinked their eyes as they unfolded the mission paper.
“Freshman? Why is there a freshman here?”
“Oppa! We have fish cake soup, skiing, 30s woman! What is fish cake soup, anyway!”
“Oh! We have skiing, 40s man!”
“Only two conditions? That\'s nice!”
“That team looks really easy, doesn\'t it?”
The PD smiled as he saw the members being surprised by the mission paper.
“All you have to do is find someone who fits all of these and bring them with you. Fish cake soup only applies to people who are drinking it at the time of discovery.”
“Huh…”
As the members muttered something, the PD said.
“You can\'t buy it for them.”
“Aww…”
The actor from [Babel Tower] who was taking out some emergency money put it back in his pocket.
Choi So-yeong thought for a moment and opened her mouth.
“Does freshman here mean someone who is entering college this year?”
“Yes. It doesn\'t matter if they are regular students or repeaters or third-timers as long as they are entering this year.”
Park Young-jin scratched his head.
“The range has increased, but… I don\'t know if there are any.”
“I know.”
As the PD shouted start, the Working Man members and guests scattered in all directions.
Choi Soohee\'s team, which had a problem with fish cake soup, went inside the building where the food court was, and Choi So-yeong\'s team, which had a problem with freshman, ran to where there were a lot of people.
The other two teams also split up and started looking for people who matched the conditions.
“None?!”
“I know.”
Choi So-yeong nodded at Jung-hoon\'s words.
They asked the snowboarders wearing goggles, but they were either graduates or college students, but not freshmen.
“Come to think of it, there were quite a few freshman events in February. I mean, things like OT or freshman learning centers.”
Choi So-yeong\'s words made Jung-hoon turn his eyes to the distant mountains and say.
“I graduated from college a long time ago…”
Anyway, it was a difficult condition to find a freshman.
Choi So-yeong quickly turned her head and looked around. The cameramen assigned to Choi So-yeong and Jung-hoon filmed their faces as they were.
“Hey! There are some over there!”
There was a group of people carrying skis and snowboards heading to the lift.
Choi So-yeong and Jung-hoon ran over to them.
For some reason, as they approached, the skiers and snowboarders wearing goggles seemed a little flustered, so Choi So-yeong asked carefully.
“Excuse me. Is it okay to film?”
She asked the person who was standing calmly in a white ski suit.
There was a moment of silence, as if he was blinking his eyes behind the sky-blue goggles.
“Uh, yes. It\'s okay.”
The answer came from the white ski suit.
At that, the other people in the group seemed to calm down a bit.
“Are you a college graduate? Or are you a freshman?”
“…I\'m entering this year.”
At that, choi So-yeong and Jung-hoon raised their arms and shouted hooray. They heard Park Young-jin\'s voice from afar.
“We’re the last ones! The other teams have all found theirs!”
“Hyung! Here! We found him!”
Choi So-yeong and Jung-hoon\'s hearts became urgent.
“We’re filming Working Man right now, can you help us for a moment? All you have to do is answer the quiz, and we’ll give you a prize!”
“Uh… just a second.”
The freshman in the white ski suit wearing sky-blue goggles turned his body. The other kids who seemed to be his friends of the same age gathered around him like an igloo and whispered something.
They didn\'t know what they were talking about, but Choi So-yeong and Jung-hoon, and Park Young-jin who had just arrived, waited anxiously.
They had to be these kids.
They seemed to be the only freshmen in this ski resort.
The kid in the blue ski suit tapped the kid in the white ski suit.
The other kids also tapped the kid in the white ski suit.
The freshman who was pushed out by his friends turned his body and looked at Choi So-yeong and Jung-hoon and Park Young-jin with a strange expression.
Of course, he couldn\'t see it because it was covered by goggles, but that\'s how it felt.
“Then I’ll just solve the quiz.”
“Woohoo!”
Choi So-yeong\'s team cheered.
‘But why does his voice sound familiar…?’
The three people who were tilting their heads forgot what they were thinking at the gesture of the staff who was waiting and moved quickly with the freshman. Choi So-yeong looked back and shouted, “Friends, come too!”
“Let\'s go too.”
“Yeah. Let\'s go.”
Han Jinho, who was wearing a blue ski suit, laughed and said, and the other kids couldn\'t help laughing and followed [Working Man!] filming site with their shoulders shaking.
