Sowon skated around the ice rink and picked up the cones, quickly tossing them aside. Coach Park sat on the bench and allowed Sowon to get some practice with coaching in, smiling as she patted the girls' helmets as she swiftly passed by. "Alright, girls! Let's get into teams of six each, you guys can decide."
"Coach Ryu! Coach Ryu!" The girls called for the Coach, causing Sowon to perk up from her cleaning up. One of the girls was crying, causing Sowon to fly over in an instant. "She accidentally fell down on the ice and she told us her wrist was hurting."
"Oh my. Are you okay, darling?" Sowon got on one of her knees–the one that still remained a little hurt, and winced. However, she, like all athletes, believed in the strength of powering through it. "How did you land on it?"
The first year continued to cry and wipe her tears, causing Sowon to pat her back soothingly. "Go ahead and get into teams. Come here, let's take a break by the wall."
With Sowon's hand in the little girl's, the two skated carefully over to the barrier, and Sowon knelt down again. "Now, can you point to where it hurts?"
The girl sobbed and pointed, sticking her hand out as if Sowon was a doctor. Sowon quickly took it, checking for irregular swelling or bruising. As she looked at the rest of the wrist, Sowon sighed in relief. "Luckily you didn't sprain it. You just put too much pressure pushing down on the ice. You'll be fine after some use."
The girl continued to cry after the good news, causing Sowon to pout and wipe her tears with her thumbs. "I promise you, you'll be okay. Do you want to take a break, or play with your friends?"
"I... I want..." She stammered, pointing to her friends. "I want to play."
Sowon nodded, encouraging her. "Alright then, go ahead. But, remember to clear your eyes, or how are you going to see the puck? Stop crying now," The icy captain brushed the student's tears away with her sleeves, pushing up her fist. "Now, let's go have fun, okay! Blue team, you're taking her!"
