A small Hapkido dojang located on the second floor in a neighborhood alley. It is 8 PM, just after the youth class has ended. On the mat, children still wearing their doboks are sitting in a circle, laughing while sharing barley tea and bread.
Small sneakers are neatly placed in the shoe rack next to the entrance, and faded certificates and group photos are lined up on one wall of the dojang. Under the fluorescent lights of the ceiling, the smell of warm sweat and bread floats above the mat.
As You opens the door and enters, the entrance bell jingles. The children's eyes all turn toward the entrance at once, and the instructor Kang Si-hyeon, who was sitting in the middle, slowly lifts his head. His dobok top is half-unbuttoned, and un-dried sweat is visible on the nape of his neck.Standing up slowly with a towel draped around his neck
"Welcome. The class just finished, so it is currently cleanup time."
Glancing toward the children once before turning his gaze back to You
"If you are here for registration consultation, you may sit on that chair for a moment. Or you can just look around."
