Chapter 261 – Chapter 259. Convocation of the National Team.
“Now, there will be familiar faces I haven’t seen in a while, and there will be people I haven’t met for the first time. Do you still know who I am?”
“Yes.”
“Hello.”
Most of the players responded brightly to coach Lee Geum-hyeon’s greetings. Coach Lee Geum-hyeon is a master coach who led the WBC to runner-up. In addition, since he is in charge of the national team coach until next year’s LA Olympics, the players were eager to take a picture of their eyes.
And among those players, there was one player with thick dark circles in his eyes who answered weakly.
“… Haam.”
It was Ji Maeng-ho, who entered the dorm and slept for about 30 minutes.
‘Ha, I misunderstood the time. I was supposed to come three hours early… , For some reason, reporters were all over the place.’
“Ji Maeng-ho?”
Director Lee Geum-hyun, who caught Ji Maeng-ho yawning with a hawk’s eye, immediately called Ji Maeng-ho’s name.
“… Yes?”
“Yeah, yawning is boring, right?”
“No, no no no. It’s not…”
“Come out.”
“… Yes?”
The players who gathered for the Asian Games were competing players even two days ago, and coach Lee Geum-hyun tried ice-breaking using Ji Maeng-ho to strengthen teamwork. Ji Maeng-ho, unaware of director Lee Geum-hyeon’s intentions, began to step forward recklessly.
“What are you doing standing still? Let’s start by introducing ourselves.”
“Ah yes.”
At Lee Geum-hyeon’s words, Ji Maeng-ho began to look over the players. The faces that have become slightly familiar after spending the season for a year. There were a few faces I couldn’t remember, but most of them were familiar, so Ji Maeng-ho opened his mouth comfortably.
“How are you? I’m tired.”
Clap clap clap, the sound of applause bursting out mainly from players who are acquainted with Ji Maeng-ho.
“Let’s try to win the Asian Games. Well, please feel free. Because I will take care of it.”
“Ooh! Be impertinent!”
Players who are close friends who playfully boo. However, his jeering expression was deeply rooted in his trust in Ji Maeng-ho.
All of the players gathered here are players who have played against Ji Maeng-ho in their own team. When they met as opponents, they were players who keenly felt what kind of nightmare Ji Maeng-ho gave them.
“Confidence is good. But! I bet no one really thinks it’s easy for Meng Tiger to say this. This Asian Games is the first time there is an age limit, so don’t be offended.”
However, there was nothing good if the atmosphere was relaxed before the game, so coach Lee Geum-hyun calmed the players down. I don’t want a catastrophic event where I can’t win the gold medal because of my negligence.
The reason why players were selected faster than other international competitions was because the idea that anything other than the gold medal was a failure spread to the high-ranking members of the baseball world. From the president to the head of a professional club, this Asian Games was a pretty important event for baseball players.
The president of KBA is for the revival of Korean baseball, and the general manager of professional clubs is for the military exemption of their players. And for the people who will be watching the game apart from those things.
Of course, the level of the Asian Games was much lower than that of the WBC or the Olympics, but there were few players who were vigilant because they could not allow any carelessness.
“Director.”
Except for Ji Maeng-ho, who is more interested in ashes than ancestral rites.
“Huh?”
“But do we only train ourselves? Are there any other athletes?”
Maeng-ho, who was curious about this because he slept in the dorm as soon as he arrived, asked the director what he was curious about.
“There are things that are there, and there are things that are not. But why?”
“I’m just curious.”
There is only one reason for asking such a question. It’s because he’s dreaming of a night with the women gathered in the athletes’ village.
“I trained separately when I was in Taereung because there was no baseball field, but it is possible here.”
“Oh, I see.”
A smile bloomed on the corner of Maengho’s mouth as he responded calmly. Ji Maeng-ho was the man who could rejoice at the news that there was a woman in the athletes’ village even though he had been up all night having sex.
“Well, fierce tiger, you only participated in the WBC, so I don’t know. Alright, that’s about the introduction, let’s go. So next, who are the youngest? … The universe and Wonho. Come out.”
‘Nice! If this is the case, will Hyuna be able to see it? Besides, I wish there were some pretty girls. I mean, kids who exercise hold up well.’
Meng-ho went to his seat thinking about the women who accepted him. Not to mention Hyuna, an active professional player, Hyejin was a former tennis pro, and Joeun and Jia were also elite athletes who played tennis and gymnastics until they were in middle and high school. Except for So-Young, all of them were former athletes, so Maeng-ho, who came to the athletes’ village, had no choice but to expect the love that would bloom in the athletes’ village.
“I was tired until earlier, but now I’m smiling.”
“It is time to wake up.”
As Maengho returned to his seat, Lee Yong-gi, the only wild card in the national team, spoke to him.
“What did you do yesterday to get dark circles under your chin?”
“What, hehe.”
“Baby, look at that wicked laugh. Hey, but did you unpack your luggage in the biggest room?”
Was the sign you heard in your sleep a sign of Lee Yong-gi? While Ji Maeng-ho was thinking, Lee Yong-gi continued.
“That room is my room, so you want to share a room with me, right?”
Maengho’s expression, which was smiling happily with pleasant imagination at Lee Yong-gi’s words, suddenly hardened.
“Yes?”
In fact, Lee Yong-gi’s words were natural. Because he was the only wild card in the national team and the most senior player.
The reason the Grizzlies hired Lee Yong-ki, the main catcher, at this time when the ranking battle was in full swing was simple. To send more players to the national team. In fact, in Hancheol, Joo Seung-cheol and Kim Dong-jin, along with 4th and 5th starters Na Seung-yoon and Park Hee-min, were on board as a condition of sending Lee Yong-ki.
For the general managers in charge of the operation of each club, the military exemption of players was quite important, and breaking the limit of three per team was a difficult task. Currently, only two teams have more than four players in their national team. It was only Han-cheol who allowed the selection of the main catcher as a wild card during a fierce ranking battle with Hwasan, who has four promising prospects who have the ability to be recognized by everyone.
Lee Yong-gi, who has enough status to break through the limit of three per team and allow two more to board. It is only natural that such a person would use the largest room in the dorm.
“Me?”
“You mean you don’t like it?”
“Hehe, it’s not that I don’t like senior… I’ll unload right away.”
“Well, then, who am I to share a room with? You come.”
“Ah, Seungcheol has a hyung or Dongjin. We are on the same team.”
“Gene is on the same team, so it’s not very interesting…”
“Ah! Wonho, Wonho is really fun and respectful.”
“Well, it might be better to have a room with the pitcher.”
‘I’m sorry, Wonho!’
Ji Maeng-ho, who sold Won-ho at once, approached Jang Woo-joo, who just entered after introducing himself.
“Hey, space!”
“… Huh?”
“Where are you in your room?”
Among the draft motives in 2023, three were selected for the national team. Ji Maeng-ho, Kim Won-ho, and Jang Woo-joo. Among them, Ji Maeng-ho and Kim Won-ho were paid 21 years old, and the real youngest was only Jang Woo-joo, who was 20 years old. It was natural for Ji Maeng-ho, who had a deep Confucian consciousness, to ask for Jang Woo-joo’s room.
“Why? Shall we write together?”
“Ok. I don’t have many close friends.”
“Aren’t Wonho hyung and his alumni?”
“Shit, but my brother isn’t trying to take care of you.”
“Okay, then let’s write together.”
Jang Woo-joo, who did not know what future would unfold for him, readily accepted Maeng-ho’s proposal.
‘I can’t do the laundry. Exorcism. I’ll have to move my luggage as soon as I go.’
While Maengho was thinking about this and that, the self-introductions of the players began to come to an end. Since they were acquaintances from the beginning, that time passed quickly.
“Okay, then I guess this is enough for a self-introduction. Change your clothes in 30 minutes and assemble at the training ground. Opinion.”
“Yes.”
The captain of the national team was, of course, Lee Yong-gi, the only wild card.
“So that we can assign rooms on our own and gather on time. Can I trust you, are you courageous?”
“Leave it to me, Director.”
“Okay. See you in 30 minutes. Today’s schedule is a simple fitness test and training. Practice games are held every two days from tomorrow with the 2nd team, so be aware of it. More.”
“Thank you for your effort.”
‘Ah, then are we only doing fitness tests and training today? The training is more intense than the competition.’
While Ji Maeng-ho, who was not in training condition, frowned, head coach Lee Geum-hyeon left and Lee Yong-gi stood in front of the players in place of Lee Geum-hyeon.
“Now, did you all hear? Move fast Surely it’s not a gopiri, and I don’t have to arrange a room, right? Take care and share.”
“All right!”
After the roll call, the first person to move to the room was, of course, Ji Maeng-ho. He struggled desperately not to share a room with Wang Go on the team.
“Maengho, share a room… , What, why is that bastard going so fast?”
Because of that lightning-like action, Wonho, who had been thinking about spending time with his alumni for the first time in a long time, had no choice but to stop gesturing toward the fierce tiger.
“Wonho?”
And Wonho looked back at the voice calling him.
“Yes, senior.”
“Move your luggage to the largest room.”
“… Yes?”
“Maengho says you’re so funny?”
“… Ji Maeng-ho, this bastard…”
“Huh? What? You say you don’t like it?”
“No!”
Knowing that Ji Maeng-ho had sold him, Won-ho only gnashed his teeth.
*
“Hey! It’s crazy? No.”
“Ah, why are you suddenly taking it off?”
“Haa, our training is really hard, I have to take a day off with you once, so how do I do it here?”
My heart ached at Hyuna’s cold rejection. After all the training, she somehow called Hyun-a to come near the dorm where the women’s volleyball team was located, but Hyun-a’s mind did not change.
“Hey, don’t make that face. Listen.”
“… Huh.”
“Damn! Do you want to look like a steamed-up girl again? He said he never had sex.”
“Still, I endured while thinking of you throughout training.”
“Haha, I want to do it too. But baseball and our situation are a bit different.”
“How are they different?”
“You guys are just winning the championship, but we could go crazy. That’s why this Asian Games is really important. I’m still being criticized for being a bubble league.”
“Was Yeo-bae that hard?”
“When I entered national university, there was a generational change. Legend seniors are all retired from the national team.”
Come to think of it, when Hyuna was in high school, when she was first selected for the adult national team, she had a background like that, she seems to have heard the kids at school say.
It’s a shame. I’m so sorry. Since I am also a professional player, I could understand Hyuna’s feelings. The responsibility of her national team is so great that Hyuna, who likes her sex, gives up her sexual desire. But she couldn’t help but feel sorry for her.
“Well, there’s a game and the next day there’s only recovery training, so I’ll call you then.”
“Really?”
“Look at his expression brightening, I want to hit him. Ugh, yup!”
I immediately covered Hyuna’s mouth with my mouth when she said something bad. Hyuna, who was rebelling without opening her lips, finally opens her lips and accepts my tongue. After a few minutes, our mouths fell apart.
Haha… Really…”
“Then I should be content with this for today.”
“… It doesn’t matter if it’s just word of mouth.”
It seemed that HyunA’s switch was turned on with one deep kiss. But as I watched Hyuna, I knew. Hyuna will not stop if she receives it here.
“No, it’s okay. I can’t stand it either.”
For the sake of Hyuna and the women’s national volleyball team, I decided to put up with it.
“What? Are you patient? You’ve grown a lot, our fierce tiger.”
“You are patient, and I must be patient too.”
I’m sorry, but that’s probably right. That’s how I sent Hyuna back to her dorm. When Hyuna disappeared from my eyes, I called for Rossby.
‘Mr. Rossby.’
‘Huh?’
‘Have you finished touring the athlete’s village?’
‘Then. I’ve been looking for you ever since you came. Women who work out are attractive.’
Also! It was a pity that I couldn’t taste Hyuna’s body every day, but it was okay. Because this is an athlete’s village and there are many women.
‘Then, let’s go around looking for a bitch who masturbates.’
Coming to the athletes’ village to masturbate? If you put your mind to it, you can twist it in an hour.
‘Hehe, I’ll tell you right away when I see it.’
‘Still, do you know that there is some goodness?’
‘He sees all the worries like an idiot.’
‘Because it’s Mr. Rossby after all.’
It’s been a long time since we spent so much time together that Rossby and I have similar tastes. Rossby would be able to carry out this daunting task without difficulty. Ten days before departure.
‘I’m going to fuck and eat in the meantime.’
