Chapter 77 – The Great War (2)
077
It’s not a horde of zombies, but the airport security officers and the lifeguards prepared by the Livestock Cooperative desperately block the crowd.
“Hurry up!!”
“Miss Ai, don’t push Mister!”
“Ooh catch the line! Don’t let the line collapse!”
“Step back! Everyone, please step back!”
As the agents quickly pass the desperately created line and arrive at the press conference, a slightly organized atmosphere emerges.
“I am Kang Ga-young from KBS. Coach Gong Jeon-seong, you achieved the best performance in the history of the Olympic team. Please tell us how you feel about winning the silver medal.”
“Sports Daily. I have a question for Seol Yo-han. Seol Yo-han, returned to the domestic stage after playing in the Bundesliga due to military service issues. If you receive a military service exemption this time, will you try to advance overseas again?”
“Players, please take a look here! This way!”
“Minjoon Hong! Interest in the transfer is already increasing, and there are links to various overseas clubs! Have you decided which league you want to go to?”
The captain’s interview, which began calmly, continued for over an hour.
A person who only asks prepared questions, a person who asks for professional information, a person who seeks gossip, a person who takes pictures… When the press conference ended, everyone was exhausted.
Time didn’t pass like a jingle, but time doesn’t stop.
The last official schedule, a member of the National Assembly, an employee of the Livestock Cooperative Federation, a governor or a mayor, shaking hands, hugging, and posing for pictures with high-ranking people, passed and the disbanding ceremony approached.
“Fuck you bastards. When the list was announced and the controversy erupted, he didn’t even show his nose, but since he won the silver medal, watch him raise his spoon right away.”
“Ugh. You have so many schedules, really. Why do I think this is harder than running for 90 minutes in the first half?”
While the seniors were grumbling, a member of the livestock cooperative approached.
“I have a message for the national team players and coaching staff. Encouraged by the national team’s promotion, the president supported the players and coaching staff with accommodation and dinner at Paradise City in Yeongjong Island with his family. By the way, my family has already been staying in Paradise since yesterday. All of these are funded by the president’s own money, so those who wish can use them as much as they want.”
“Paradise City… ? It costs between 400,000 and 500,000 won a night there.”
“Wow Mr. After searching, the buffet is over 100,000 won per person?”
Players look at each other.
“Great… “
“Suddenly, the livestock got better.”
* * *
Paradise City Hotel, located on Yeongjong Island, is said to be the first casino complex resort in Northeast Asia.
As described as a complex resort, the hotel has various facilities such as a spa, plaza, and club, but I don’t know the details.
Of course, no player or coaching staff turned down this opportunity.
In peak season, you can use the hotel for free, with your family, at a hotel that costs 400,000 to 500,000 won per night and a buffet that costs more than 100,000 won per person. Oh I can’t stand this
Even today, perhaps because the chairman is the head of the Hyundai Group, the buffet was rented out.
This is the chaebol class… ?
There must be a reason why Harin spends so much. It was like she was from a chaebol family.
“Aigoo, Gideok~”
“Oooh!!”
“Dad~”
“Ughhh~ did you miss Seoyoung’s father?”
“No~!”
“… I didn’t want to see you. Okay.”
“Honey!!”
“Father!!”
Arriving at Paradise City in a car prepared by the Livestock Cooperative Federation, entering the convention room, the family members who have been waiting for you warmly welcome you.
Where are my parents?
“Minjun! Oh my son!”
“Mom!”
I’m going to go up to college life… No, I rather went down to the provinces, but anyway, after going down to my own room, I saw my parents for the first time in about half a year.
“Mom and Dad?”
“What is a grown-up person’s mother and father?”
“Why does this person say something to a child on a good day?”
Hehe.”
My father, he cares a lot about people around him.
Unlike her father, who had a stricter, more solemn, and serious expression than usual, her mother was more fussy than usual.
“Oh my son, your face is so half! After all, foreign food doesn’t suit your mouth? How much did you suffer to become so skinny?”
“…….”
Mom.
My face is glistening with dog oil because I eat well and pack well.
‘As expected, no one knows that his face has changed.’
I didn’t even know the smart Yoon Daye, so I expected it, but I wasn’t worried at all… Seeing that my parents naturally pass on it, I don’t think I will have to worry about changes due to my charms in the future.
“Good job my son. Mom, I’m so glad Minjun is healthy and not injured.”
I was having a thrilling reunion with my parents, but there was a strange person in between.
“… Why are you here?”
The woman standing shyly behind her parents smiled discreetly, covering her mouth with her hand.
“Hello Minjun.”
“Mom! Daye Yoon is here!?”
“Noisy this. Do you have any other talents?”
“OMG….”
Are you someone else?
Of course it’s someone else, so are you a family?
“The one who has a son went to university and has not been contacted. Do you know who we talked to instead of our indifferent son?”
“Eh, huh? Have you been in touch with your mom, Daye Yoon?”
“Why do you ask something obvious? Did you know that you are Daye?”
“Since when?”
“Since when, since you were young. What is he talking about?”
I’m dumbfounded, I have no words.
“No… You went to a special purpose high school far away from Yoon Daye High School!”
“I have a smartphone these days, so what does that have to do with it? Sometimes when he came home, he said hello to us too.”
“What. Why didn’t I know?”
I really didn’t know.
During the winter vacation of my second year in middle school, I confessed to Daye Yoon.
After that, I clung to going to a prestigious high school famous for soccer.
In the meantime, she desperately participated in the training that she had only believed in her genius, and even after the regular training was over, she devoted herself to self-training and avoided Yoon Daye as much as possible.
As the guy said, to prove his ability.
After proving her ability by going to a prestigious high school, she tried to confess again.
She succeeded in going to the place she wanted, but she never confessed to Daye Yoon again.
The guy went to a famous special purpose high school far from her hometown and entered the dormitory.
At the time, I hated Yoon Daye, who left without saying anything to me.
Childhood friend and first love. I thought he was special, but I felt like you weren’t.
That’s why she avoids contact with him, and it seems that she has a sense of qualification for a pretty woman.
After that, she lost interest in soccer, trained poorly, and had no fun in games… Maybe that’s why the slump came. A long slump that continued throughout high school.
The cause was all Yoon Daye.
No. The cause wasn’t Yoon Daye, it was me.
“… Umpa was in touch with Daye Yoon? Was she still seeing you?”
“Of course, what does he keep saying? When you were in middle school, you fought with Daye, and you were upset by yourself, but is that still the case?”
Does mom know that?
“I know that, but why ishehere?”
“Why? I was eating with Daye when I got a call from the Football Association. Daye is no stranger, we came together.”
It’s a mess, but I knew for sure that my mom’s dad terribly thinks of Daye as if she were her family.
… Got it,
“Why are you guys here again!!”
Hehe. Hello Minjun.”
Heeyeon noona, who was watching with interest next to her, waved her hand softly.
Besides Oh Harin and the reporter noona?
Her mother’s eyes widen when she sees Noona Hee-yeon dressed in the ‘girlie look’ of a white sleeveless tee and a flared tennis skirt.
“Oh my goodness. Aren’t you Heeyeon Yoon, the tennis fairy?”
“Oh, right! You know! Hello, this is Yoon Hee-yeon, the tennis fairy~”
What. Heeyeon noona, you were famous enough for my mom to know!?
“Oh, nice to meet you~ It’s the same as when I saw it on TV! How are you so pretty?”
Hehe, thank you.”
“By the way… I know my son… ?”
Seeing her mother’s narrowing eyes, Heeyeon noona quickly replied.
“Sure! She belongs to the same Hojindae! Besides, my younger brother is Yunhyuk. Do you know Yunhyuk?”
“Ah, I know, I know. I heard that you are the best friend of our Minjun. Oh, and Yoon-hyeok is also tall, so his handsomeness is the same as that of my sister!”
“Ehehe. Minjun and I are seniors and juniors at school, and when we interviewed the reporter here, we became close while interviewing together, so I came to say hello.”
“Min-joon should tell you that he knows you if he knows Hee-yeon, he is so indifferent. I’m a fan of Heeyeon, but I don’t even know who her mother likes.”
Her mother’s gaze turned to her journalist sister as she chatted happily.
“Hello, I’m Kang Soo-yeon of a sports star.”
Hair neatly tied in an expensive-looking woman’s suit. Seeing her reporter sister acting like an elite career woman, her mother was blown away.
“Oh my gosh, you are a reporter! Nice to meet you, Minjun is your mother.”
“Hmm. I miss Minjun.”
A father who quickly intervenes.
No, but did the reporter noona pass the press exam?
“Since your son is a player Minjun Hong, the two of you must be really proud. He is so talented, and his character is so tall.”
“Oh-ho-ho-oh, yes. Our Min-Jun is not a kid who gets lost somewhere~ Oh ho-hong.”
“No. Our Minjunie is not such a handsome guy. Absolutely not a world class level.”
No… My dad and reporter noona never said it, but what is the criterion for naturally determining that you are a wall class?
“But what are you doing?”
A chill flowed from the place where Harin Oh, arms folded, and Yoon Daye, standing face to face, stood face to face in contrast to the world over here.
“Min Joon-ah. Who is this?”
Parents who secretly show interest in Daye Yoon’s question.
To be precise, I was interested, but it must have been because of Oh Harin’s atmosphere that I was trying hard to ignore it.
Yes, Oh Harin’s atmosphere was different from hers.
The outfit is nothing special. A blouse and slacks that are casual and formal attire appropriate for the location.
Considering Oh Harin’s taste, it is obvious that it is a luxury product, but to us outsiders, it looks luxurious, but we do not know how expensive it is.
Even so, Harin Oh had a unique atmosphere that was difficult to deal with.
From the attitude to the expression, the momentum… An aura that is hard to describe.
“Hello. My name is Oh Harin, who promised Min-jun and the future.”
“Wh-what!?”
“Why are you surprised? Then isn’t it?”
What kind of bomb are you exploding calmly!
“Oh, mother. This is gearco… !”
“Ouch! Mom, wait, Mom, I’ll explain everything!!”
