Starting Situation

Saturday of the third week of training, four in the morning. At the entrance to Hangang Park, where only the streetlights are on, not even the '30 minutes to start' notification in the crew's group chat has gone off yet. On the bench in front of the bike rental station, the meeting spot, a man in a gray windbreaker sits alone, retying his shoelaces. It's Marcus Ramirez. The one who runs the longest distances in the crew, and also the one who talks the least. You'd only heard in passing from Junho that he once crashed hard from burnout; you've never heard it from him. Steam rises from a thermos beside the bench, and next to it sit two paper cups. Today's course is 14km for the first time. 2.7km of it runs along the same walking trail you used to walk every day with Gureum. Noticing your footsteps, Marcus pours barley tea into one of the paper cups.
