Chapter 113 – 113. Weaknesses (5)
Sunday.
It was a sunny day, not to mention sunny.
… But these bastard pitchers.
What was so dissatisfying on this nice weather day? The Pattas were spewing out the points they had earned.
“Ha, really, are you kidding me…” ” .”
A triple hitting the first base line.
Two runners returned home and the score was 6:7.
I wonder what the hell is going on in the beginning of the 4th inning, really.
Why on earth doesn’t this team play line defense?
Is there a disease that causes you to rummage when you get close to the first base?
Since I couldn’t let go of this anger on my own, I was once again trying to swear on Twitter.
“Excuse me… , I’ll sit down for a bit.”
“Ah, yes. Sorry…”
… A very suspiciously dressed woman putting her cell phone in her pocket
She snuck up to the seat next to me.
What is it?
How dare you wear a suffocating mask in this hot weather,
This woman is wearing sunglasses and a hat.
“…”
This woman who vaguely entered episode 4 looked very suspicious, so I took a closer look.
A familiar purple ponytail flowing behind a baseball cap caught my eye.
… Perhaps.
“… Hey, maybe. At the gym… ?”
“No way…”
… Is it Seo Ji-ah?
What is it, me?
Why do I keep meeting celebrities these days by coincidence?
… If you’re going to meet them, you should at least present a male idol.
“Oh, it’s true. You’re a part-time worker at the gym, right… ?”
“Ah, yes. That’s right…”
While I was internally releasing all the unnecessary anger I had built up because of baseball towards poor Seo Ji-ah.
She lowers her sunglasses slightly, showing me her familiar and attractive eyes.
… Ah, it’s so pretty that I’m not even annoyed.
I thought the mask was big, but actually her face was small.
An appearance that evokes awe rather than a sense of inferiority.
By the way.
Why does a woman who is an idol go to the baseball field alone? ?
“It’s a coincidence. Is she a fan of our team too?”
“Oh, yes. I’ve been a fan since I was young…”
“Me too. Because of dad. … Do you know anything?”
“Ah… Ah. Yes. I know. Captain…”
“Yes yes.”
I had a strange suspicion.
This woman is the daughter of our team leader.
In fact, it would be even weirder if you weren’t a fan.
As I thought about it like that, the doubt I had felt about her earlier she disappeared completely, and instead, I felt a subtle sense of kinship with her.
… It was a very good team to watch without any fans, so it was a bit lonely.
Even my few friends usually didn’t watch baseball or cheered for other teams.
Even if my uncle brought me two tickets like this time, one ticket was always thrown away.
“But, it’s quite a coincidence. Zia… Ah. … “Can’t I say your name?”
“Does not matter. Oh, by the way. “What is your name?”
“Um, me? I am… It’s Hwang Soo-ah…”
“Ah, Sua… “That’s right.”
“Yes yes yes. That’s right.”
Likewise, she must have felt a strange camaraderie with me, and unlike her her blunt attitude her at the gym, she sat next to me and showed me her affection her.
… However, since there were still plenty of seats around, I wondered if I could sit just one space away.
Well, it’s not a man, it’s a woman…
“It was my first day off in a while, so I came to cheer. But, like this, I met someone I knew like Su-ah. I’m very lucky. “Today.”
“… It would be nice if Gyeonggi were a little lucky.”
“Yes? Ah… I know, right. “I was winning when I came.”
There’s something about her, it’s subtly awkward, but I have built up an inner intimacy with her in my own way. Sitting next to her, I look at her electronic display board and hate the trashy pitching staff who kept giving up another run.
… If it weren’t for this woman next to her, she would have had a great time fucking her.
Even so, it’s difficult to do that in front of people who are aware of my existence.
“Well, anyway. Today’s batters are good, so it’s not like they can’t come back… Oh, really.”
She kills her inner demons and continues her words while wearing the mask of an innocent, but baseball-loving female college student.
I sigh heavily as I look at those cancers piling up runners while giving up walk after walk.
If that’s the case, just put him in the middle and get beaten up. What are you doing while receiving hundreds of millions of dollars in annual salary? Really.
These guys, who are not rookies but have some experience, got scared in the 4th inning…
… I really miss you, boss.
Even though it was only one season, he always came out and blocked us reliably in times like this.
“… Hey, maybe. Do you have anything to drink?”
“Yes? Oh, do you want something to drink?”
“Yes yes. It’s hot, so if you don’t mind, have some water…”
“Here.”
“Ah, thank you.”
Just when her her inner demon was about to burst out, she barely managed to swallow her her curses her her her thanks to the girl who spoke to her and handed her some ice water that she had kept in her bag .
… For some reason, he seems much more polite and timid than I thought.
The Seo Ji-ah I knew had the image of sitting with sunglasses on her forehead, legs crossed, and chin resting on her chin.
Watching him sit quietly and sip the water I gave him, I feel a bit of cognitive dissonance.
… Is there really a difference between delusion and reality?
I secretly feel sorry that I messed up with the boss and made a fuss…
“Ph… Thank you “I was thirsty.”
“No, no, it’s okay, ok… ” ! … Ha. I caught it.”
While taking the water back from her, bang! I capture with my eyes the scene where a baseball, flying at a frightening speed with a sound, is narrowly sucked into the glove.
… Fuck, really. Anyway, I can’t see this being easily overlooked.
At the end of an inning that was long enough to make me vomit, I quickly poured the water I had into my mouth to soothe my burned stomach.
During the shift change, I glance at the woman sitting next to me who is fiddling with her cell phone.
“…”
… To be honest, I know it’s not polite.
I’m using my phone too openly.
Privacy… , If there was something dangerous, you wouldn’t have done it like that, right?
That’s probably not the case…
“Ah.”
So I secretly glanced at her to the side of her.
… I noticed a familiar company logo on her cell phone
I let out a sound without realizing it.
“… “Why?”
“No. Just… What. Yes.”
… It’s a game I play too, that one.
Even though it’s famous, it’s a crappy phone game.
Why did you, the world’s greatest insider, do that… ?
“Do you know this game, Su-a?”
“Ah. What. Yes. I know, but…”
“Do it, by any chance?”
“That… , Yes. Little…”
… But.
Whatever the reason.
As she stood watching the game I was playing, I showed her sparkling eyes behind her sunglasses and showed her her personal account her to me.
“Really? Ah, this is my friend… I recommended it by a member. I keep doing it because it’s fun…”
… As an old man, I couldn’t shake the dark desire to tell people.
Oh, really.
I didn’t come all the way to the sacred baseball stadium just to build these little friendships.
Idols aren’t that great…
… But.
It’s not good for your health to keep watching crazy baseball games, so let’s help a newbie for a moment… ?
Ugh…
**
“Oh, and Jia’s favorite character is being reprinted next week…”
… She’s a pretty annoying woman.
Unlike the image I’ve seen so far, there’s a lot of talk.
She was playing her own game, so there was nothing she said that I couldn’t understand due to her her knowledge of her her, but seeing her talking her her so excitedly made me feel a bit bad to be honest.
I wouldn’t necessarily say that out of her mouth.
“Oh, really? Thank god. I really wanted to use it…”
“He appears attractive in the story.”
I don’t know what she’s so proud of, but I agree with her when she’s strangely shrugging.
She stares through her sunglasses at the end of the baseball game, which has already reached 15:10 and is almost over.
… Was baseball originally a sport that scored this many points?
I’m not sure… Since she is winning, this woman won’t feel bad either.
“And… , … Ah. Really… Let’s win nicely…”
But as soon as she heard the sound of a baseball flying far away while she was talking excitedly.
She reflexively looked towards her fence, sighed, and started squeezing her thighs.
“But we’re still down by two points.”
“By the way. Just… “It’s frustrating because they keep messing with me over something that could have been finished in a neater way.”
“There is only one out left, so I will win.”
“…”
Contrary to her reaction of being stressed to the very end, the game ended with cheers as the next batter easily struck out, despite the fact that it was futile.
The sun hasn’t set yet, but it’s no wonder it’s called evening.
Following her as she shakes off her jeans and stands up from her seat, I also put on her hat, hiding her face, and walk out of her stadium.
“Hey, Su-ah.”
“Yes.”
“By any chance, how old are you? Actually, I was going to ask you earlier. “I forgot.”
“… “I was born in 1998.”
“Oh, then it’s my sister. “I was born in 2000.”
“…”
Actually, I already knew these little details.
What kind of games does this woman like?
… Where is she sitting and watching baseball?
Because she was uploading everything to her tweets with her own hands.
“Actually, it’s really awkward to sing with the last name… “Can I just call you sister?”
“Uh, that… It doesn’t matter…”
Unlike her excited and chattering appearance earlier, she has become strangely lethargic. I match her steps with her shy girl and lightly say, ‘Yes, Su-ah.’
… Honestly, it gives me goosebumps.
She has never spoken in this tone of voice in private in her life.
“…”
But.
Because it is a voice and gesture that I have honed through my profession.
Even if the other person is of the same sex.
It’s not easy to push away a woman like me.
… Actually, half of my fans are women.
There are many fans who fell in love with his cool appearance.
There are many fans who fell in love with the gaps I created.
“And, Su-ah, you can speak informally too.”
“Yes… , Hmm… Huh. Okay.”
Listen to my tone appropriate for my age,
While analyzing the feelings of the woman who had a very sinister expression,
Not knowing her destination yet, I follow her footsteps and find a nearby restaurant.
“Oh, aren’t you hungry, sister? “Let’s go after dinner, right?”
“… Dinner? With you?”
“Because I taught you various things about the game. I will buy it. In return.”
“Yes… , Uh. Okay. Let’s eat. Dinner…”
Getting close in itself.
Because it seems like a success.
Since I don’t have time to meet in person while I have a schedule, I need to at least find their contact information.
Having personal contact with an idol that everyone looks up to about personal matters.
Because it’s a lot more fun than I thought.
I hope you will listen closely to my story for a while.
… Mr. Hwang Soo-ah.
