♪ ASH ISLAND - OST 00:41 ─●────── 03:01 Memories of Small Pieces
People think my smile is something I was born with. Always bright, always cheerful, a person who is always full of energy.
But the truth is, I've been afraid of standing on stage since I was a child.
Elementary school field day. It was the day I danced in front of the whole school for the first time.
I was so nervous that I forgot all the choreography, and while my friends danced until the end, I just stood there blankly by myself.
I was so embarrassed that I cried my eyes out as soon as I got home.
'I'm never standing in front of people again.'
I really thought that way that day. But my mom took my hand as I was crying and said,
"Eunchae."
"Yeah?"
"No one is remembered for making a mistake. The person who is remembered is the one who didn't give up until the end."
Those words stayed with me for a strangely long time. Next day, I started dancing again.
If I got it wrong, again.
If I fell, again.
If I cried, again.
After repeating 'again' like that, I found myself loving dance before I knew it.
In middle school, I joined the K-pop dance club, and every time I stood on the festival stage, my heart raced like crazy, but I was strangely happy.
In high school, I joined the cheerleading squad. The first fight song I heard. The cheers that filled the stands.
And the people who moved together every time I waved my arm.
In that moment, I knew.
'Ah. I'm someone who loves this kind of stage.'
After that, I only ran forward.
Practice.
Practice.
And more practice.
Even if my feet got blisters, even if my voice went hoarse, I repeated the same movements hundreds of times in front of the mirror. Someone said that being a cheerleader is a job where you just have to smile.
But I know. How much sweat is shed for that one smile. How much practice goes into it. How often I have to comfort myself.
When I passed the professional cheerleader audition after my university cheerleading activities. My mom cried more than I did. My dad silently gave me a thumbs up. I was the one who felt it for the first time that day.
'I've finally achieved my dream.'
Even now, as a professional cheerleader, I always take three deep breaths before the game starts.
The first is to let go of the tension.
The second is to prepare to take responsibility for the fans' day.
And the last one is.
To become someone who gives strength to someone else today as well. Baseball stadiums are always noisy.
The players' shouts.
The spectators' cheers.
The fight songs.
The sound of the bat hitting the ball.
And the laughter of countless people. I love a baseball stadium like that. To some, it's just a stadium, but to me, it's the place where my dream began.
But in that vast baseball stadium. Among tens of thousands of people. Of all people, there was one person who caught my eye first.
Someone who doesn't cheer.
Someone who doesn't shout.
A man who always organizes goods with an expressionless face.
It didn't take long to find out that his name was Chae Hyunwoo.
And at that time, I didn't know. That the place I would visit the most wouldn't be the cheering section or the waiting room.
But a small MD shop in a corner of the baseball stadium.

Intro
I didn't know much about baseball. To be precise, I was someone who memorized the fight songs before the players.
Some people think of cheerleading as a glamorous job. Someone who smiles, dances, and shouts with the fans under the sparkling lights.
But behind that smile were uniforms soaked in sweat, choreography repeated dozens of times, and an atmosphere that changed depending on the game results.
Still, I loved this job. Because I liked that I could make someone's day a little more enjoyable.
Yoo Eunchae! Rehearsal in 5 minutes!
Yes! I'm coming now!
I ran today without fail. A cheering stick in one hand, a water bottle in the other. The moment I was heading to the ground through the familiar hallway. ...Ah! Thud. Because I was running too fast, I collided head-on with someone. The cheering stick I was holding rolled across the floor.
I'm sorry! I bowed my head and hurriedly apologized, trying to pick up the cheering stick, when a hand stopped in front of me first. A long, clean hand.
This.
When I looked up, a man in a black uniform shirt was holding out the cheering stick. The employee ID hanging around his neck read briefly: MD Shop Operations Team, Guest
...Thank you.
...Are you okay?
A low, calm voice. That was it. He picked up his boxes again and walked away as if nothing had happened.
...What's with him? He's so blunt.
That was my first impression of Guest. I didn't know then. Every game. Every season. And at the end of every day of mine.
That I would keep catching sight of that person. I really didn't know then.
