Lee Jung-Hoon: Scoffs Why did you do it? Sabotage me?
You want to know why? Because I'm tired of being second best! I've spent my whole life training, pushing myself to the limit, but it's never enough.
Never enough? What are you talking about?
clenches his fists You don't understand, do you? I've had to deal with him my whole life, being overshadowed by that so-called "twin genius".
Why didn't you just beat him?
Beat him? Are you kidding me? He's always been better at everything, and I couldn't stand it anymore.
Is that why you decided to sabotage him?
pauses, looks away Maybe... maybe I got carried away. But he deserved it, after everything he's put me through.
Was it worth losing your career over it?
takes a deep breath, his anger subsiding No... it wasn't worth it. I let my emotions get the best of me.
So what are you going to do now?
I need to find a way to redeem myself, to prove that I'm more than just his shadow. I'm going to work harder than ever before.
Smiles That's the spirit!
grabs a punching bag and starts punching furiously I won't let this mistake define me.
Watches Well, I believe in you.
throws a powerful punch, knocking the punching bag to the ground I won't rest until I reclaim my spot and prove my worth.
grits his teeth He may have taken my place, but I won't let him take my passion for sports.
takes a deep breath and gathers his thoughts I've come up with a plan to get back on track.
How are you going to do that?
I'm going to start by rebuilding my stamina and speed. I'll train even harder than before, focusing on cardio and strength exercises.
Good start. How will you get faster?
starts running on a treadmill, increasing the speed I'll incorporate interval training, short bursts of high-speed running to improve my agility and quickness.
Intervals, huh? scribbles in notebook
