Chapter 123 – Episode 121. Jujia (1)

“Okay, brothers. Have a good drink I’ll go in. Oppa, is there anything left in my room?”

Damn, why did you ask me to drink with you when you can’t even drink! Joo Ji-ah woke up from the drinking party less than three hours after they drank together.

“Then, Maengho oppa, drink well too! I’m going to sleep with the door locked, so don’t think about anything elsehehe.”

“Puck. If you’re drunk, go in and sleep.”

While drinking her drink, Jujia, who had become a little friendly with her, joked and entered her room with staggered steps.

“Hyung, let’s move right now.”

“What, change your seat. This time?”

“What time is it, isn’t it time to play?”

“Write. It’s a bit like calling a proxy. Hey, it’s annoying when rumors spread that these idiots are drinking and going around after being substituted.”

Joo Seung-chul seemed to have no intention of moving. He looks like he’s already a little drunk.

“Oh, do you want to drink without a woman?”

“Hey. Let’s just drink today. And tomorrow is Monday, who will come out at this time?”

“Hyung said he would introduce me to some idol-like kids. You said that you have friends since you were little.”

Hehe, you crazy woman. Are women that good?”

“Then you hate your brother?”

“Tsk. Grow up a little bit too How many things in the world are more important than women? It’s just annoying to see you.”

“Wow…. How many years apart He looks like a real nerd.”

Eww…. To have to drink without a woman. Until now, Ju Ji-ah was there, so I had been drinking and looking at her face, and I was enduring it.

“Hey…. He played better yesterday than that.”

“Game?”

“Uh. AT These bastards were honestly like dog shit, but after watching the opening match, they seemed a bit like a team.”

“Aren’t you drunk? It’s dog food.”

The team that looked like dog shit was right, so I wasn’t particularly angry at Joo Seung-cheol’s words. I had 1 win and 1 loss with Hancheol, but in fact, I was lucky enough to win.

“It is true. To be honest, it wasn’t shit except for senior Kwan Hyung and senior Suho, but the lineup has definitely improved.”

“The evaluation of other people’s teams. So, when is your brother coming back?”

“Around mid-April? We have a week or two left.”

“There are many left.”

“Jjeop, it’s good to rest thanks to you. By the way, I wish you.”

“What?”

“Honestly, there won’t be much pressure. The team is at the bottom, senior Suho, senior Kwanhyung, senior Sangju, senior Jincheol. It’s all star level, so it’s not too much of a burden, right? I mean, I’m so damn burdened.”

Is this man drunk? Why are you suddenly serious?

“Even in the game against Japan, I could have avoided it if I wanted to be honest. But no matter how much I think about it, I don’t have the confidence to hit it. The baby ball. So it just hit under…. Fuck.”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

It’s not like you suddenly say something serious because you don’t want to go out… ? I was slightly suspicious.

“Hey, it’s a bit awkward to talk like this with Jia. Honestly, even if he ticks me off, I’m probably the person he respects next to my father.”

“I don’t want to know about other people’s family circumstances.”

“Okay? Awesome. Sorry.”

Saying that, Joo Seung-cheol drank the high-alcohol liquor in one gulp. He definitely felt troubled, but he didn’t want to interrupt. He doesn’t have enough time to have sex with a woman, but he listens to the troubles of a man. What do you mean by nothing to do?

“Under. So, did my father talk about me a lot? Was he really complimenting you?”

It’s been less than three hours, are you drunk already? Well, I’ve been drinking so much by myself since earlier.

“Uh.”

I roughly answered Joo Seung-chul’s words.

“Envy you. You. It’s okay to say this. Watching Ohtani hit a home run, I was so jealous. I should have done that too…. If it was your father…. Under…. I came back to Korea and watched the broadcast again, but in my at-bat, the only story was about my father. If it’s Joo Hyung-jin’s son, something like this.”

For some reason, Seungcheol Joo continued to tell me his story.

“Hyung, but why are you telling me this….”

“Honestly, you feel it too. There is a huge difference between the Korean level and the major level. You shouldn’t have seen it since you debuted.”

“Well, it was.”

Certainly, as Joo Seung-cheol said, there was a big difference in level. The pitchers of Han Chul, who are called Kang Tim, also seemed easy to me.

No, on the contrary, it was a bit difficult. It was because my pitches were jagged and jagged, so there were many cases where I didn’t stick to the position Rossby told me. Well, it wouldn’t make much of a difference if you knew the type of pitch anyway.

“I’m just jealous, you bastard. How do you wield it so confidently? Looking at it, it seems like everyone knows what kind of ball they are hitting. Under….”

“I just see everything.”

While having a conversation, Joo Seung-chul continued to drink alone, and his lamentation continued.

“Father…….”

“America…….”

“Yes Yes.”

Joo Seung-cheol’s drunkenness was simple. The comparison with my father, Joo Hyung-jin, is burdensome. I’m doing well now, but I’ll go to America someday, but honestly, I don’t have the confidence to do well in the major leagues. If I can’t do it like my father, I’m afraid I’ll damage my father’s reputation.

This kind of story makes me envious of my batting talent in half. What kind of mindset do you have when you hit? What about this baseball story?

Joo Seung-cheol confided his story indiscriminately, probably because he was drunk, and I had no choice but to listen to that boring story without a woman.

“Ha, so what’s the point?”

“Dude, just, when hyung says, just say ‘I got it’ and listen.”

Totally screwed up fuck. Listening to the drunkenness, it’s already 3:00 in the morning.

“Yes, I got it. So, where do I sleep?”

“Sleep? Ah…. Hey, there’s a lot of room left, so go in and sleep anywhere. If you enter Jia’s room, I’ll kill you, really.”

“Don’t worry.”

It made Jujia want to fuck him, but he wasn’t crazy enough to stick his dick in just about any woman, so he didn’t even think about it.

“What, isn’t Jia pretty? A bastard who is crazy about women….”

“What are you saying? If you’re drunk, go to sleep.”

“Ugh….”

Under…. How did I get into a situation where I listened to drunkenness? I just wanted to drink with the celebrities Joo Seung-chul introduced.

“Brother! Brother!”

“Eww…. Hey, move me.”

Shit, and even support! I’ll just stay home! If I were at home, I would have had a fantastic time with Soyoung noona or Joeun…. Suddenly, I wanted to kill the past me who went crazy with women and followed Joo Seung-cheol.

Still, it was true that I drank expensive alcohol, so I had no choice but to move Joo Seung-chul to the bed. Anyway, I could introduce real celebrities later on.

“I’m just going to hold on for today. If you do this again next time, hyung and whatever will fly away.”

“Baby, I know…. Next time, I’ll introduce you to the Eye Black guys. The member who was a child actor there is my childhood friend….”

“All right. Older brother!”

Eye Black is the hottest idol these days! You have friends there! Also Joo Seungcheol! Since I was young, I went to variety shows and heard that I have many celebrity friends, but Eye Black! It seemed to be worth listening to today’s drunkenness.

“But where should I sleep?”

Calling the assistant manager and going home at this time was a bit unpleasant. I also drank a lot because I listened to Joo Seung-chul’s drunkenness. Still, the house was spacious, so I didn’t have to worry about it.

Jujia is sleeping in the room with the door closed…. I have two rooms to choose from. One had clothes and baseball supplies scattered around, and the other room had a bed or a guest room, so I decided to sleep in that room.

Photos and trophies of Joo Seung-cheol when he was young were hung in the room where the bed was.

“It looks like the room I used to use when I was little.”

However, since I had no interest in looking around men’s rooms, I was about to put on a futon and wash up when Rosby started talking to me.

‘Hey, aren’t you really curious?’

‘What else?’

‘Whether this bastard is really taking medicine or not.’

‘Why are you curious about that? I’m not really curious.’

‘You don’t know what a person’s job will be like, right? Maybe not? I’ll introduce you to better girls if I catch my weakness.’

‘Is it tempting?’

Somehow, it was one of the most plausible words Rosby ever said.

‘Wouldn’t there be something in the room I used to use when I was young?’

‘What if I threw it away?’

‘Didn’t you hear what that bastard said? She has an inferiority complex to Abby. I can tell just by looking at him, but his eyes were like a kid who would do anything to be good at baseball. Even when I was a manager, there were a few guys who looked like that.’

‘Was Mr. Rossby a pipeworm? Eww…. I hate it.’

‘Shut up and search the room.’

After hearing Rossby’s words, I slowly began to scan the room.

‘There is none. Are you a real drug addict?’

‘If you look at his real eyes, he’s 100 percent.’

However, no matter how much I searched, I couldn’t find any evidence of drug use. Cabinets, drawers, bookcases. I couldn’t find the medicine anywhere.

“Ah fuck, what a drug lord. There’s no proof! And if you were a drug addict, would you let me go home? Come to think of it, if I had been able to break through the WBC, I wouldn’t have done it already. I suffered for nothing.”

Perhaps because I was annoyed, dissatisfaction erupted with upbringing. Training your mutt tonight. After all, I don’t have the right words for what Rossby says.

“Well, if I had done it, I would have done it in high school and abandoned it. Does Korean professional baseball look like shit? It captures all of this.”

‘Bastard, or not, why are you fucking all of a sudden? I’m still thick these days. Won’t you tell me?’

‘Sorry.’

When I came out of the room after the moonlit search, an unexpected person was standing in the living room.

“… Mangho brother?”

“Uh, why did you come out of bed?”

“No, because of the bathroom.”

For some reason, the expression looked bad. I felt like I was breaking out in a cold sweat.

“Oh yeah? Write first I will write and wash you.”

“No, no. Brother.”

Well, since my child is also a girl, using the bathroom in front of me would be a bit like that. I have to write it first and go into the room. After all, there is no one with manners like me.

“How long have you been drinking….”

Two hours since I came in to sleep. Jujia awoke from her hangover, from thirst and from not having a good night’s sleep due to her menstruation.

And as soon as she woke up, Jujia could immediately know her condition.

‘This is a big one… ?’

She wanted to go to the bathroom quickly, but she was in the living room and the two of them continued to drink and drink. In fact, it wouldn’t have mattered if it was Joo Seung-cheol, but the problem was Ji Maeng-ho. Do you use the bathroom so you can hear everything in front of a man you’ve never seen before?

To Jujia, who grew up beautifully, such a thing was impossible. Moreover, if you have a crush on someone, even more so. Born into a baseball family from an early age, Ju Ji-ah’s ideal type was someone who was good at baseball like his father, Joo Hyung-jin. But he is good at baseball, has his father’s approval, and his face is handsome?

There was no reason not to have a crush on a man like that, and I didn’t want to hear the sound of the toilet on his first meeting in front of such a man.

After being stuck in the room and listening to Joo Seung-cheol’s drunkenness for 30 minutes, Joo Ji-ah had an opportunity.

‘Now!’

Joo Seung-cheol lay down in the master bedroom and Ji Maeng-ho entered the room. Jujia walked stealthily to the bathroom. But there was another difficulty. It was that the room Ji Maeng-ho had chosen was close to the bathroom, and that the light in the room had not been turned off yet.

Early morning when everything was quiet.

‘If I use the bathroom now, it will sound 100% right?’

At least after the lights are out…. Joo Ji-ah waited near the room to check when Ji Maeng-ho would go to sleep.

Just then, Ji Maeng-ho’s voice came from the room.

“Ah fuck, drug lord… , Evidence……. Drug addict… At home……. … Break through the WBC……………..”

What about? No way… ? In Jujia’s head, memories of his childhood began to surface. Joo Seung-chul, who suffered from an inferiority complex as a child, peeped through a visit and inserted a syringe into his forearm alone. And the muscles that stick at some point and the grades that started to grow.

He didn’t say anything, but the governor knew. That Joo Seung-chul took a banned substance in high school. It was clear that he had approached me as an acquaintance of my father. Also, since there was a baseball player who was close to his father in the United States who later got a banned substance, Joo Seung-cheol had plenty of opportunities to get in touch with banned substances.

‘No way, you confided in this bastard drunk? Isn’t Joo Seung-cheol crazy?’

Jujia started to get anxious. Joo Seung-chul is drugged? It wasn’t just Joo Seung-cheol’s problem. He didn’t even have to worry about something as small as his own channel. He was certain that the honor and record of his father, whom he admired most in the world, would be tainted.

Jujia moved a little closer to the room. To make sure that Maeng-Ho really knows.

“… , If you did it, do it in high school…. Does Korean professional baseball look like shit? To this extent….”

Some angry voice.

‘Come to think of it, I read on the news that he devoted himself to baseball even after losing his parents in a car accident….’

A pure baseball boy who devoted himself only to baseball even after losing his parents. The memory of him, who had many articles about him as a model of human victory, flashed through his mind. If it was Ji Maeng-ho, a baseball player like that, it was only natural that he would be angry about this. He assured Jujia that he knew all the facts and was obviously upset.

‘I… , Must stop! Money, let’s stop it with money… !’

And Jujia was determined to do his best to protect his family’s honor.
