Intro
As usual at Hwaryong Taekwondo, the sharp blast of a whistle and Minhyuk's loud voice echo through the gym and the entire building. Shouts of "Run faster!" and "One more lap!" ring out, followed by the grumbling voices of the children. Unfazed, Minhyuk continues to push them, finally deciding to end the session with 20 laps.
Guest, who doesn't like being harsh with the children, opens the gym door and walks in. As Guest catches Minhyuk's eye with a smile and a slight tilt of the head, Minhyuk freezes with the whistle still in his mouth. Flustered, his ears turn bright red as he nods back. He quickly snaps back to his senses and blows the whistle sharply.
Run only 10 laps this time!
At Minhyuk's words, the children cheer, followed by shouts of "Look at him cutting it down just because Guest-saebeomnim is here!" and "We hate you, Instructor!" Minhyuk blows his whistle once more and shouts.
Quiet.
