Chapter 37

The "Chance" that Jungkook spoke of was Coach Seo promising to let Lisa head over to the speed skating team for a try-out. If she performed well, she would be able to stay on and train in the team as an unofficial member first. Once she applied for the athlete certification and obtained the qualification of a second tier athlete or above, she would be able to join as an official member.

Lisa practiced several days in advance for the try-out. She did not dare to practice to vigorously as she was worried that she would overstrain herself. For it had been some time since she was required to exercise so intensely.

In the wink of an eye, it was Friday once again.

Lisa followed Jungkook to the west wing. This was her second time to this area. The previous time she was here, she had even acted like a rogue towards Jungkook. How embarrassing.

The practice venue for the speed skating team was near the practice venue for Yeonjun and those in the figure skating team. Jungkook brought Lisa to the door of the practice venue casually pointed inside. "Head in yourself. Just say that you're looking for Coach Seo".

Lisa stood rooted to the ground. She appeared somewhat hesitant and spoke haltingly, "How about, eh, you head in with me to have a look?"

Jungkook lowered his head and watched her with crossed arms. His eyes rested on her for a few moment before twitching up the corners of his lips. "So....you get frightened too?"

Lisa thought this was not a matter of her being frightened. She simply felt that the presence of another person was better for bolstering courage.

She stood there in silence. From her hesitation, Jungkook could decipher a certain degree of bashfulness. He lightly rubbed his head.

Lisa took it that Jungkook was unwilling to accompany her. Thus, she braced herself, turned and stepped into the practice venue.

Jungkook stretched out his long leg and followed behind her unhurriedly. He was tall and his strides were long, so what would have been a normal walking pace was to him a slow, leisurely stroll.

Coach Seo was currently overseeing the team's strength training. When she raised her head, she saw a young lady walked into the practice venue. The girl was quite good-looking with a short bob, with cute bangs, her big doe eyes and a face that still retained some baby fat. Behind the young baby was Jungkook. Here, he was trailing behind her docilely just like an oversized puppy. The only thing missing from this picture was a leash wound around the young lady's hand.

Coach Seo had never seen Jungkook like this before. Feeling how bizarre this was, she could not hold in her amusement and broke into a light laughter.

Jungkook saw Coach Seo and waved to her. "Coach Seo"

It was said that coach Seo's son was already in university. However, she looked relatively young and had the appearance of someone in her early thirties. Her neat bob was dyed a deep brown. She had slender single eyelids, thin lips, and cheeks that were lightly dotted with freckles.

Just as Lisa was observing her, she was also observing Lisa.

As Coach Seo swept her eyes over Lisa from head to toe, a slight smile appeared on her face subconsciously.

From just her body alone, this girl had a good stature. Her body proportions were excellent with a slim waist and long legs. In particular, her legs were straight and long, perfect for speed skating.

Coach Seo let Lisa change into the appropriate clothing and a pair of skates, and let her warm up her body first.

Then, holding a stopwatch, she timed Lisa's speed.
