Chapter 276 – Episode 274. My Help. (1)

“Ji Maeng-ho! Congratulations! “With this match, you successfully advanced to the super round. How do you feel?”

“Actually, as I said in the last interview, I’m not that happy. “It’s a natural result.”

“But all three group stage matches ended in cold games, right?”

“Yes. It’s a natural result. In fact, there are many good players on the national team besides me, so it would have been more surprising if it hadn’t ended in a cold game, right?”

“As expected of Ji Maeng-ho. So, you hit 3 home runs in today’s game and there doesn’t seem to be any aftereffects from the injury. How did you get back in shape?”

“I was sick at the time, but the test results showed no abnormalities and there was no particular pain, so I did it as usual.”

“Okay. Oh, and I’d like to ask you this question. You often see me at the women’s volleyball stadium when there are no games. Is there a special reason?”

During a normal interview, the reporter suddenly asked a question outside the game.

‘Why are you suddenly asking this question?’

“There is no particular reason. “The organizers said we couldn’t use the baseball stadium, so we just went to look around in our spare time.”

“Oh, then what do you think about the dating rumor with Choi Hyun-ah, the setter of the women’s national volleyball team?”

‘Ha, it was because of this. I was worried because there were some reporters in the dorm. Sseu-eup, have I met Hyuna too much?’

There was a reason why the reporter asked the question. She met Hyuna quite a few times when she was eating at her dorm or during dinner time, so I guess rumors about me got around among the reporters. Last time, I tried to go for a walk at night, but Rossby told me that a reporter was following me, so there were so many reporters following me that I couldn’t go for a proper walk and ended up just walking back.

“He’s a good friend. She goes to watch the volleyball game because Hyuna Lang is her high school classmate, and she went to cheer on her. Under… Why am I saying this? “If you’re going to ask this question, am I leaving?”

I answered because the camera was rolling, but if it had been a paper interview instead of a video, I would have stormed out.

‘Ha, if it were Korea, Soyoung would have filtered out all these reporters…’

“Sorry. Then, lastly, I would like to hear your aspirations for this Asian Games…”

“It’s a win.”

“A little longer…”

“It’s a gold medal.”

“Oh, yes. Ji Maeng-ho, thank you for the interview.”

After the interview was over, the camera turned off. I was a little annoyed by reporters asking about my private life, but I was still a little curious about how much the reporters knew.

“Reporter?”

“… Yes?!”

“Why are you surprised?”

“Oh, sorry. “I thought you sounded angry.”

“I’m not angry, I’d like to ask you something more than that. Off the record.”

“Oh, yes. “Ask.”

The reporter, who sensed that if I looked wrong here, it would be difficult to get an interview when I returned to AT, answered obediently.

“There are a lot of reporters following me these days. “Have you done any research on me?”

“… Well, it’s better to read this article than to tell you…”

Then the reporter turned on the smartphone screen to search for something and showed it to me. What the reporter showed was an article from a third-rate internet newspaper.

“Is sports star A libertine? Sports star A, who is currently heating up Korea, is becoming a hot topic after being caught entering the dormitories of foreign players at the Asian Games. There are widespread rumors that the reason Mr. A stayed in a hotel in another country was because of his promiscuous sexual life. There are even stories that many players have trouble sleeping at night because of the moaning coming from the room Mr. A entered. . “Is there an article like this?”

There are no photos or anything like that, but the content was pretty accurate.

“Actually, we know everything there is to know, but since it is an international competition, there are issues with the players’ condition, so we didn’t publish articles like this. For no reason, if Meng Ho doesn’t do something because of an article, people get criticized and say it’s a joke.”

“Where did you hear that?”

It would not have been possible to report directly. It would be difficult for reporters to enter the players’ dormitories.

“Well, there are rumors going around within the Korean team, and there are people who saw Meng Ho heading to the foreigners’ dormitory.”

All the reporters knew.

“Is it so? But why did you ask about Hyuna?”

“Hyuna, there’s a lot of interest in Korea these days, right? “She’s pretty and good at volleyball.”

It was like that. Even though I don’t know much about volleyball, Hyuna caught my eye when I watched the game. The women’s volleyball team was in a difficult situation, barely able to advance to the quarterfinals with a pull-up, but Hyuna’s performance stood out in the game she won, so it was worthy of the public’s attention.

“That’s why I asked because there were a lot of people in Korea who were curious. A sports star couple is born! This gets a lot of views. But are you really not dating? “I heard you stick around quite a bit, right?”

“Well, think whatever you want. But what is the reaction to this article?”

“This doesn’t get a lot of views, and there are probably a lot of people who think it’s just trashed, right? And aren’t there many people who think it’s Meng Hao? There is a saying like that, right? When the article says famous singer A, he is not a very famous person, and he is only truly famous when his name appears. “I mean.”

Although it was a fact that she didn’t really care about, if it was known that she was having sex, she would have been bothered, but based on what the reporter said, she didn’t seem to have anything to worry about.

“Well, thank you for letting me know.”

“Yes. Then, fight for the remaining matches as well.”

“Yes, reporter, good work too.”

After the reporter left, I looked on my cell phone to see if there were other articles that mentioned me, but as the reporter said, most of them were gossip or third-rate internet articles, so I didn’t think there was any need to pay attention.

‘Still, I have to be more careful now. Have you been eating too much?’

Still, I had only a little bit of regret because I ate enough to satisfy myself.

‘Hmm, Hyuna too, but are these reporters here? ‘I guess I should meet up and ask?’

*

“… So the reporters didn’t ask me that?”

That evening, while she was having a meal with Hyuna, who had finished all the preliminaries, she was asked about what happened during the interview, and she responded as if Hyuna was not a big deal.

“Huh. “I’m curious.”

“Well, there was a reporter who asked, but I just passed it on.”

“Anyway, why are people so interested in other people’s business?”

“But more than that, I made it to the quarterfinals, so why don’t you congratulate me?”

“Hey, what kind of celebration is it that 4 out of 5 teams advanced? “I will congratulate you if you make it to the semifinals.”

“… Pup. “You mean you won’t congratulate me?”

“Why? “You could go to the semifinals.”

“We are tied with Japan in the quarterfinals.”

“Good. “If we win the Korea-Japan game, I will congratulate you profusely.”

“… “Is Japan now second in Asia?”

“Why didn’t you do better and meet other kids?”

“Do you know that volleyball is only played in countries like baseball? It’s the same even if you meet another country.”

Ugh, I wanted to refute it, but I couldn’t. If it had been before the Asian Games, I would have refuted Hyuna’s words, but in reality, when we compete against other countries, the difference in level is so embarrassing that it is embarrassing to be happy about winning, so it is not fun.

‘At least it was fun to crush the Chinese bastards. Well, it’s a shame that I don’t have to see them anymore.’

For reference, China won the last game against Thailand, but Hong Kong won 2 wins and 1 loss, and the only countries that advanced to the super round from our group were Korea and Hong Kong, which had won 3 games.

It was an ugly match, but it was a sad result. Well, thanks to that, I was fortunate that I didn’t have to watch China’s ridiculous training time or even laughable strike zones from the Super Round onwards.

“Ha, if it were applied to Japan, they would get a lot of criticism…”

“Well, because it’s a Korea-Japan game.”

I also remember being criticized a lot after losing to Japan in the WBC tournament, so I felt sorry for Hyuna who said she was worried.

“But whatever, people don’t expect much anyway. “You know you’re screwed.”

“Pak! “You call that comfort?”

“… “I’m sorry.”

“Under…” . Anyway, I’m worried. Even in Japan, the setter is Ason, so it’s a shame to be compared, right?”

“Setter? Who is it?”

“Do you understand if I tell you? Under… My name is Ichika Mori. He…”

Ichika Mori? It was a name I had heard before somewhere. Where have I heard this before? I don’t know much about women’s volleyball…

‘Hmm, really?’

“And there are other kids who are doing well besides him…” ” …”

As Hyuna, excited to announce her specialty, was talking about the Japanese national team, she turned on her phone to see where she had heard the name Mori Ichika.

‘As expected, is this the woman who gave me the Line ID the other day? To be honest, she wasn’t my type, so I didn’t even contact her.’

“Hey, hey. Are you listening? A person is explaining something, but you just look at your phone…”

“Of course I was listening. But is the quarterfinal match tomorrow?”

“Yes.”

“Thank me tomorrow.”

It wasn’t my taste, but I decided to help out this time for Hyuna.

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

Seeing Hyuna with a puzzled expression, I stood up.

“Is it okay if I don’t give it a blowjob? Just go?”

“I have to save at least one shot now. For you.”

“Tell me something, so I can understand.”

“You don’t have to know.”

“… What? Really.”

So Hyuna didn’t understand what I meant until I left her place.

*

Ichika Mori was a setter for the Japanese national team playing in the Turkish league. She was also the woman who saw Ji Meng-ho, who was playing as a jockey, on the opening ceremony day and gave her contact information.

Ji Maeng-ho was a hot topic among athletes participating in the Asian Games, to the extent that he was ranked first in the ‘Sexiest Male Athlete at the 2023 Asian Games Selected by Athletes’ survey by a media outlet. The secret to his popularity was his handsome face, height of about 190 cm and solid body, as well as his incredible skills in his main job.

In addition, according to the rumor going around among female athletes, he is said to have incredible sex skills, so it is safe to say that Ji Maeng-ho is an idol among female athletes competing in the Asian Games.

‘I can’t believe Ji-sang (さん) contacted me…’

That’s why Ichika couldn’t control her trembling heart when she received a call from Ji Meng Hao. She had not contacted me since she gave me her contact information on the first day, so I had practically given up on meeting her, but today she contacted me at a completely unexpected time.

Ichika immediately said yes to the call her asking if he could meet her. It didn’t take long for her roommate to ask for permission from her.

‘Phew, last time Yuko asked me to avoid her place, I’m glad she did.’

Ichika keeps her body her preened, praising her past her self her for inviting her boyfriend her, a member of the national shooting team, to her dorm her and saving her place her for her roommate her, Yuuko. I waited for Meng Hao.

And,

Dripping… !

“On the ground?”

“[Mr. Ichika? I am Jimaenghope.]”

“High! [I was waiting!]”

Without anticipating what fate awaited her, she welcomed Ji Meng-ho, who knocked on the door, using the English she had learned during her long years living abroad.
