Chapter 217 – Side Story 51: Ordinary Daily Life.
***
Kim Du-sik, CEO of Jejus Agency, has a busy day. The Lord Jesus thinks that Kim Du-sik is idle, but that is not true.
From the personal affairs of the Lord Jesus to the management of the orphanage, there was nothing that Kim Du-sik was not involved in.
It was the same today.
Kim Doo-sik’s day began early in the morning. He tried to drink coffee to wake up from his heavy sleep, but quietly put down the coffee when a company employee contacted him.
“Where did you get the call?”
“STV! It’s a popular entertainment show in Korea. Do you want to film the daily life of Jesus Christ’s family? We also play simple games that children will enjoy.”
“Jesus’ daily life.”
Kim Du-sik quickly organized his thoughts. He doesn’t have a problem filming entertainment shows as long as he gets a decent amount of appearance fee. No, it’s actually better. If you are an average player, it can also be helpful in terms of image management. Meanwhile, many fans in Korea also persistently wanted Jesus to appear on entertainment programs.
But even so, Kim Doo-sik was not attracted to the offer from STV. Because the conditions are not good? The conditions were not a problem.
Just.
‘I’m currently trying to achieve the unbelievable feat of winning 5 consecutive Champions League games, so where is the time to film something like a broadcast here?’
This was an important time for Joo Jesus’ personal career and for the team called Real Madrid.
‘By the way, how many goals did Jesus score in the last game? If this continues, won’t there be an award named after Jesus in FIFA later?’
In addition, Kim Du-sik felt vicarious satisfaction by seeing the monumental tower of records being built by the Lord Jesus.
‘As expected, it was a good decision to change course to become an agent.’
Unfortunately, he gave up football because he was not talented, but he never once regretted that choice. Because there was talent in the orphanage that could be seen by anyone.
‘Well, I didn’t know you would be this good.’
Lord Jesus exceeded Kim Du-sik’s expectations when he was young. The Lord Jesus skips grade after grade, chewing through the youth national team for each age group.
He joined the World Cup finals at the incredible age of 17.
‘I used to be a monster, but after experiencing the World Cup, something changed.’
Due to his performance in the World Cup, he transferred to FC Barcelona, but due to issues such as racial discrimination, he transferred again to rival team Real Madrid that winter.
Lord Jesus received tremendous love and attention from Real Madrid fans from the first day he joined due to his outstanding skills and the fact that he was the ace of a rival team.
And the first year of his transfer. The moment we won the Champions League for the 15th time in 16 years.
He has become a living legend for Real Madrid, and now Real Madrid is attempting to win the Champions League for the fifth time in a row, not having won the Champions League for the fourth time in a row.
‘If criticism were poured out against Jesus in Madrid today, wouldn’t he end up floating dead in a nearby river?’
He became the living god of Real Madrid.
“Boss, so what should I say to the broadcasting station?”
Kim Du-sik, who had been imagining something strange, came to his senses when he heard the employee’s voice coming from the other end of the phone.
First, Jesus’ opinion is important, right? Kim Doo-sik muttered quietly and answered the person on the other end of the phone.
“Well, first I’ll ask Jesus. In the meantime, raise the conditions.”
“Yes, I understand.”
Kim Doo-sik, who was about to have a cup of coffee while reading articles on the Internet after a phone call with an employee, overturned his coffee when he saw an article recommended by AI.
[The Lord Jesus announces his sabbatical year on his own SNS. ‘Just as you give your brain a break, it is also necessary to give your body a break. I plan to take a sabbatical after this season.’]
“… Jesus, why are you suddenly doing this again?”
It was vicarious satisfaction and foolishness, and I suddenly felt like resigning.

Peaceful daily life is repeated. I’m happy, but a little bored.
So, I tried to add a little variation to my life.
-Woooooh.
Not long after posting on social media, the response came immediately. By the way, doesn’t this guy have anything to do? You’ve been looking at my SNS since morning. Can I give you some more work? I answered the call while grumbling to myself.
“Uh, bro.”
“Hey! What do you mean a sabbatical year? What do you mean!”
When I answer the phone, I hear Doosik hyung’s incoherent screams.
Anger? Disarray. I feel pleasure in Doosik’s voice, which is mixed with disappointment(?) And other emotions. In an instant, your boring life becomes colorful.
“I feel like I don’t have enough time to spend with my kids. “I’m just going to take a little break next year.”
It’s not a lie. These days, I feel like I don’t have enough time to spend with my children.
I’ve been playing soccer for over 200 years, but this was my first time becoming a father, so everything was new and I felt awkward. Despite this, the children grew up properly and healthily. So, I thought it would be good to spend time with my children for about a year.
I paused for a moment. A device for amplifying emotions. And then he said.
“Being a good father isn’t easy.”
My answer shook the heart of Kim Du-sik, the ‘father’ of a child.
“Then, I should talk to my brother and post it… “If you upload it suddenly, they will be surprised.”
Doo-sik’s voice, his anger subsiding, is heard through the smartphone.
Oh my god! I just successfully manipulated one person’s emotions!
While I cheered in my heart. Du-sik must have felt the silence was awkward, so he cleared his throat a few times and changed the topic of conversation.
“Hmm… By the way, the broadcasting station asked me to appear on the show. What should I do?”
“Huh? Broadcast? What program is it?”
“Well, you just talk about your family’s daily life, talk, and play small games?”
“Hmm… The fact that the family appears is a bit odd. “I barely managed to stop Yuna from revealing it on her children’s YouTube video, but it’s a little too much for her to ask to appear on TV.”
“… “It’s okay to say this to Jesu, but it seems like he’s crazy about the number of views on YouTube these days.”
“So, ugh. What was it last time, were Yuna YouTube subscribers an U&I equity loan? “I feel like it’s gotten worse since I brought that up.”
“Oh, I know that. “I heard you have a 90% stake?”
As married men, we complained about our wives over the phone for a long time. Doo-shik’s agony, which I couldn’t understand in the last episode, is now understandable.
I think I understand Doosik better now that I have become a father than in the past 200 years.
Anyway, we talked about our complaints for a while and relieved our stress. Before we knew it, it was time for the family to wake up.
“Then will I refuse?”
“Ah. “Don’t refuse right away for a moment, I’ll ask Yuna and the kids too.”
“I get it. Please contact me within 3 days. Until then, I will try to raise the conditions as much as possible.”
“… “My brother is working?”
“Do you think I play around all the time? Anyway, let’s hang up and talk later. Hyena woke up.”
“Okay, by the way, tell Hye-na to come visit her uncle often. “The kid hasn’t been coming to play lately.”
The call has ended.
Then, in an instant, I got bored again.
Ah. What should I do?
When are the kids going to wake up?
“I’m bored, I need to exercise.”
I started lightly ironing in the home gym I built in the basement.
Oh, by the way, even though I don’t participate in team training, I still do individual exercise regularly. As a professional athlete, it is natural to stay in peak physical condition.
“Ah, my lower body was well tightened.”
Let’s come up after finishing our individual exercise. The twins were standing at the front door wearing Real Madrid Women’s youth uniforms.
“Dad! Soccer!”
“It’s late! It’s late!”
As soon as the children saw me, they held my hand and tried to get out of the house. I urgently calmed down the twins.
“Hayun-ah, Seoyun-ah. “Today is the academy’s day off.”
“Okay?! Hayun didn’t know!”
“Even Seoyoon didn’t know!”
I burst out laughing at the sight of the twins widening their eyes as if they didn’t even know.
“Hehe, Dad! Then play!”
“Play! Let’s play soccer!”
“Only until you eat?”
And so another ordinary day began.
***
Time flies so fast. A month has already passed since they crushed Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16.
A lot has happened in the meantime. The most representative example is that Yohan’s Real Madrid youth team won 8:1 against the FC Barcelona youth team of the same level.
In this game, Yohan scored 7 goals by himself. Seeing as the twins and Yohan are good at soccer, I guess soccer DNA runs in my blood.
While I was thinking about Yohan, who was having fun dating a girl named Isabelle.
[The second leg of the Champions League round of 16 between Real Madrid and Manchester City begins with the referee’s whistle.]
The second leg of the Champions League has begun at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real Madrid, which had already won the first leg 8:1, gave its main players a break.
On the TV screen, two rows of buses from Madrid were parked.
No, you have the nerve to stop a bus at a home game, but you are tactically inflexible?
Isn’t it so shameful that someone with such courage is trying to retire?
I guess Valverde should be sentenced to life supervision.
