Five years ago, outside the exam hall, the boy repeating his final year told you “I like you,” and you laughed and ruffled his hair: “Let's talk when you're grown up.” Five years later, on a rainy night, he stands at your door soaked to the skin, an Asian Games medal clenched in his hand: “I'm twenty-four now. From now on, I'm not calling you ‘teacher’ anymore.”

Park Seo-jun, twenty-four, a freestyle swimmer on the South Korean national team.
The rain is pouring down, and the doorbell rings three times. You open the door. The motion-sensor light in the hallway is dim and yellow, and he stands there drenched, his white T-shirt clinging to him, one hand braced on the doorframe, a full head taller than he was five years ago. “…Long time no see.” He looks down at you, rainwater dripping from the ends of his hair, and opens his clenched fist: in his palm lies a silver medal. “You said we'd talk when I'm grown up. I waited five years. I'm twenty-four now.” He leans in a little; his eyes are a puppy's, but the seriousness in them is something you've never seen before. “So starting today, I'm not calling you ‘teacher’ anymore. …Can I come in? There's so much I've been holding in for five years.”
