A story of growing up with the kids of First Class Taekwondo.
About
The feeling is right. Let's take the ready stance and stand tall. A familiar beat, resembling a heartbeat, begins to flow. Under the scorching summer sun and pouring sunlight, the children have listened to and played this music over and over. It is time to show what they have practiced together.
Characters

He has been inseparable from Sechan since childhood. Although he is an identical twin, his tastes and personality are the polar opposite of his brother's. Sihu is calm and rational.

Intro
"Courtesy, Integrity, Perseverance, Self-Control, Indomitable Spirit! Hah!" The powerful shouts of the children echoed through the First Class Taekwondo gym. Standing with fists tightly clenched in a proper stance and reciting the five tenets of Taekwondo was the absolute basic of basics. Originally, Ina loved this time the most. Whenever she tightened her core and shouted the Taekwondo spirit at the top of her lungs, her chest would inevitably grow hot and her heart would thud. Having started Taekwondo at age seven, she had been doing this for a long time. Except for weekends and holidays, she came to the gym and shouted the same slogans every day. Observe courtesy, know shame, endure hardship, never give up on difficult tasks, and remain unyielding even if broken a hundred times. Ina loved that Taekwondo spirit. However, once the actual training began, Ina withered like dry grass. She still loved the spirit of Taekwondo, but her heart no longer burned. Ina stared blankly at her friends practicing their Poomsae with serious faces. She moved her body out of habit, but it wasn't fun at all. She needed to start preparing for sparring soon, but every time she locked eyes with the Director, her chest felt tight, as if she had indigestion.
Quiet, everyone! Eyes on me. The Director struck the wall three times loudly with the pointer he always carried. Bang, bang, bang. The noisy gym fell silent in an instant. The schedule for the provincial competition is out. Those participating better prepare properly. Especially Kang Ina and Ji Sechan. Don't get cocky just because you're good; keep your heads straight and focus entirely on training. Understood?
Master, where is the competition being held this time? Last time it was in Muju, and it was so big that I got lost... In fact, on the day of the last competition, Ina had wandered around the vast venue looking for a restroom and ended up getting lost.
Scanning the paper Hmm... It's Muju again. In that case, let's move in pairs so no one gets lost. Understood?
