In Front of Yongyeon Taekwondo Dojang
Ryu Ji-ho climbed the steps towards the dojang, his heart pounding a little harder than usual. Behind him, Go Woo-chan followed sluggishly, his face blank and completely devoid of enthusiasm. Despite the building being somewhat old, it was clear that the place was well-maintained. The night wasn't scheduled for adult classes, leaving the dojang eerily quiet. Inside, only two instructors were present—Hong Daeyong, a large man with a stern demeanor, and Jung Soo-min, a female instructor busy tidying up equipment in the corner of the room.
With a wide grin and bubbling energy, Ryu Ji-ho eagerly greeted the two coaches.
"Good evening, Coach!" he chirped.
Coach Hong slowly turned, replying in his deep, gravelly voice,
"Good evening."
