Chapter 319 – [Side Story] Purpose of the Reunion. (1)

(This is after the Asian Games and before the postseason begins.)

“Am I really going alone?”

“I said go alone.”

“I want to go in together.”

“It’s not even a kid, really. Do you have anything to advertise to people? “I’m already annoyed by reporters these days.”

When I parked my car in the parking lot and tried to get out, Hyuna strongly refused. He seemed to be under a lot of stress, perhaps because he became quite famous during the Asian Games.

“And Jihee said she wanted to see me for a moment before we met. I’ll meet Jihee at the café ahead, so go ahead and wait. Okay?”

“Jihee? Jihee is her? Fencing?”

“Uh. I’ll go first, so come out in about 5 minutes. Because there might be reporters.”

“I really think Ji is some kind of celebrity. That’s a celebrity disease.”

“Oh, no!”

After Hyuna screamed, she got out of the car. The sight of Hyuna getting angry was quite cute, so I let Hyuna go as is.

The reason I came here in the car with Hyuna was simple. It’s because of my promise with my classmates who were selected for the Asian Games today. Every time we met at the athletes’ village, we talked about meeting each other once, but we only had time left after the Asian Games ended.

‘Shall I go soon?’

When I left the parking lot and looked around, luckily there seemed to be no reporters. During the Asian Games, there were so many reporters that it was a bit uncomfortable, and I also felt a bit disappointed that there weren’t any. Because it meant that he wasn’t yet at the point where he would follow my every move.

“Oh, are you here?”

When I arrived in front of the store, a man smoking a cigarette greeted me warmly. When I looked closely to see if he was a fan, I saw that it was Park Seung-woo, a national boxing teammate and high school classmate.

“Yeah, it’s been a while. Congratulations on your gold medal.”

“Congratulations on your gold medal too, brother.”

After saying hello to Park Seung-woo, who came to meet me, and going inside with Seung-woo, I couldn’t see a single person in the room.

‘What, am I the only one who came? ‘These bastards are addicted.’

“But didn’t the other kids come?”

“Wonho said he would come soon, but I don’t know about the others.”

‘If I had known it would be like this, would I have come in with Hyuna?’

To be honest, in high school, I was only on the baseball team and was digging into the ground, so it felt a little awkward to be alone together like this.

‘Wonho, when is this guy coming?’

“Wow, I never thought my brother would be this successful in baseball. “You really don’t know what people are doing?”

“You’ve been called around since high school, and you ended up winning a medal. Congratulations on your military exemption.”

“Fuck, I couldn’t even go pro because of this. Well, in boxing, Ama earns more. Anyway, now I’m going to prepare properly for MMA.”

“MMA? Is it like UFC? What was your weight class?”

“Flyweight. Increase the weight and go to Bantam or Feather. Ah, I’m really jealous of your physique. I wish I could be like my brother.”

“But isn’t it better for Asians to be in a lower weight class?”

“Well, that’s true. Now that I think about it, the coach told me to bring Ham with me when I quit playing baseball, but in the end, I didn’t quit and joined the national team. True.”

“Did you do that?”

“Brother, he was famous around here. “Why do you play baseball with that physical strength?”

Was it like that? At that time, I was only thinking about baseball, so I didn’t even know that other coaches wanted me. Well, I didn’t think it would have worked out well if I had changed sports in high school. Anyway, even though we weren’t that close, the awkwardness eased when we talked.

“Did you order anything?”

“First, a few snacks. I also ordered some drinks. “Am I feeling salty first?”

“Okay, follow along.”

“Yes, brother.”

After sharing a few drinks with Seung-woo, the door opened and Won-ho came in with Lee Do-hyun, a national fencing player.

“Oh, Wonho is here? “You came with Dohyeon?”

“Brother Meng Hao, hi.”

“I met you in front. Seungwoo hi.”

“Hi.”

When Wonho comes in, Seungwoo’s face brightens. This kid must have been feeling a little awkward too. Compared to me, Wonho had quite a few friends at school, and he was the ace of the baseball team and had a gold spoon. In addition, he had a good-looking face and was good physique as a pitcher, so he was popular within the school, so I could understand Seung-woo’s feelings.

“You were drinking first?”

“Uh. “Sit down.”

“Dohyun, it was a waste of a bronze medal.”

“I know. I should have been exempted too. Oh, I’m so fucking jealous. Ah, this bastard, Park Seung-woo, sucked the crap out of boxing.”

“Bastard. Boxing is harder. But doesn’t baseball suck more? In baseball, a gold medal is guaranteed.”

“It’s because I’m good at it. “It was hard for us too.”

“Brother Meng Hao admits it. He played really well. Wow, I never thought Maengho would be this good at baseball. “You were a bench player on my brother’s baseball team.”

“I flew around in third grade. “You bastard.”

“Is that so? Oh, it was like that. I remember the school going crazy after winning. Didn’t you and Wonho just receive a commendation?”

“It’s at the high school level. “What?”

“Well, the baseball team coach is also really weird. Why didn’t you use Meng Hao? “Isn’t your brother the MVP this season?”

“Is it that much? “I’m not interested in baseball.”

“Didn’t you know? What are you doing, you idiot? You don’t even watch baseball. “My brother is almost like Ota in our country.”

“Otani? Otani knows. Is Meng Hao that good? For some reason, the article came out really well.”

Dohyun, who was always interested in baseball, seemed to know what I was up to. Although I barely had time to meet Dohyeon because we were in different sports, he was still in the same class as me, and he didn’t feel bad about putting gold on my face. Well, he was always a talkative guy.

“But the girls didn’t come?”

Dohyun, who had been praising me like that, subtly asks me. A total of 7 people will gather today. Me and Wonho. Including Hyuna. Seungwoo, a boxer, and Dohyun, a fencer. And it was Yu Ji-hee, a fencer, and Su-yeon Lee, a tennis player.

“Are you looking for Jihee again? “Has Jihee still not accepted your confession?”

“Oh, shit, because I’m graduating. It’s hard to even meet. The teams are different too. I asked him to try flirting with me this time, but he said he still likes someone. I heard it’s been like that since high school. Who the hell do you like? First, our school is clear… Anyway, if you show up today, please make room for me.”

“Okay. “You bastard.”

“But is Wonho still dating Hyuna? It suited me well. I saw that article. There are dating rumors between Maengho and Hyuna. “I was dumbfounded when I saw it.”

“… Huh? What are you talking about all of a sudden? Are you dating Hyuna? “It’s not like that.”

Wonho was startled by Dohyun’s sudden words and looked at me.

“Oh, really? I thought we were dating, right? Ah! Right. “Then is that article true?”

Dohyun must have felt those gazes as well, as he looked at me and opened his mouth.

“Well?”

“Oh… What’s the reaction? Are you really dating? “I’ll have to ask Hyuna when she comes later.”

“Are you close with Hyuna?”

“No? “I only know the face.”

“You crazy bastard… Okay, that’s enough. Let’s do it.”

After drinking a few more drinks, Dohyeon opened his mouth with a red face.

“Hyung, then, try to solve that story before the girls come. Why did you go to accommodation in another country while you were at the athlete’s village? “Is this really true?”

“Wow, I was curious too. “Our country’s players aren’t good at that.”

“I used to go around fucking.”

“Ha, I fucking envy you. Next time I go to the Olympics, I will follow Meng Ho.”

“Can I come to the Olympics?”

“Bitch, I have more potential than you. Ah, but then what about Hyuna? Aren’t you two dating? “Does Hyuna know that you’re acting like that?”

I can feel Wonho’s gaze on Dohyun’s question. At that time, when there was a scandal with a celebrity, I heard that Wonho put up my shield for Hyuna, but I was really curious.

“It’s all taken care of.”

“As expected, Meng Ho’s face is worth it. I’m so fucking jealous.”

“Meng Hao. But don’t let Hyuna catch you.”

Wonho seemed worried about me. As expected, I made a good friend. Later, I will introduce Wonho to a nice and true woman. She is a truly true woman.

“Stop talking about Hyuna. “Tell me about the Asian Games.”

“Later, dude. “I will release you when we meet together.”

As I was drinking like that, the door opened and other kids, including Hyuna, appeared.

“What? “Everyone gathered together?”

“Sister! Hello.”

“Uh, kids. Hello.”

“You all came together?”

“Sooyeon also contacted me. “I waited and met you.”

“Oppa, hi.”

“Welcome.”

After exchanging her greetings, Hyuna naturally sits down next to me. Next to her sat tennis player Lee Su-yeon, and in the seat in front of Hyuna and next to Won-ho sat fencer Yoo Ji-hee.

“What were you talking about like that? “You waited, right?”

“For a moment. Jihee said she had something to discuss. “I’ll tell you later.”

“Okay.”

“Oh, what are you two whispering about? Are you really dating?”

“Yeah, dude.”

“Hey, don’t go around talking. “It’s already bothersome.”

“Yes. “Sister.”

“Well, now that we’re all gathered together. Let’s do it. Ta-da!”

“Brother Meng Hao, since you are the most successful, shouldn’t you give a toast?”

“The toast is damn good.”

“Boo! Ji Maengho! Ji Maeng-ho!”

“Ha, fuck. It’s embarrassing. Okay. The center of Korean sports!”

“Hanche High School Fighting!”

I was a little embarrassed by the slogan I had shouted in high school for the first time in a long time, but all the other kids responded to what I said, so it reminded me of my high school days.

‘… 시발, 이기철 개새끼.’

“Wow, it’s so awkward since it’s been so long.”

“Yes.”

“Wow, it’s already been a year since I graduated.”

“Let’s get all of our classmates together later and have a reunion.”

“Yes, yes.”

As the drinking party continued, various stories were exchanged, including team stories, sports stories, Asian Games stories, etc., And there was a lull in the drinking party for a while.

“Brother, do you smoke? Are you smoking?”

“Oh, I unfold.”

“Uh? Didn’t you smoke? Let’s go together.”

“Okay, come back.”

“Brother Meng Hao, isn’t he going? “It’s okay to smoke so much.”

Wonho, Seungwoo, and Dohyun went out to smoke, and the other women except Hyuna went to the bathroom, leaving Hyuna and I alone in the room.

“So, what were you talking about?”

“No, Jihee… Ah! “Don’t touch my breasts!”

When she put her hand inside Hyuna’s clothes while the kids were out, Hyuna reacted violently. Of course, just in words. Since Hyuna did not want to take my hand away, she put her hand inside her bra and Hyuna’s inverted nipple shyly welcomed me.

“Oh, you’re not there yet?”

“I’m not even a pervert. “Can I stand there when I have kids?”

“Transformation… “No?”

“… “It’s not.”

“So what did you talk about with Jihee?”

“Jihee liked Wonho. “Since high school.”

“Uh? Jihee?”

I think Dohyun said something like that earlier… There was a guy I liked since high school. Was it Wonho?

“But why did I talk about that with you?”

“I think Jihee thought I was dating Wonho. But there are rumors of us dating, so… I think I asked just to confirm. “If you’re not dating Wonho, please push me today.”

“… Okay? So, he sat next to Wonho.”

Jihee likes Wonho? This was a story that could not be ignored. Wonho was my precious friend, so I had to choose a good woman. As Wonho’s best friend, I couldn’t bear for any woman to approach Wonho. In order to date Wonho, she first had to prove to me that she was a true woman.

“… What’s wrong with your face? “While touching someone else’s breasts.”

“No. “I need to check it out.”

“… “What?”

“Jihee is fine, Angie.”

“… What are you thinking? Ugh. And it’s time for the kids to come, so please take your hands off, right?”

“Okay. Okay.”

As soon as Hyuna took her hand away from her chest, Jihee and Suyeon, who had gone to the bathroom, came in.

“Oh, you two seem to get along well. A couple after all?”

Jihee started talking to me as she sat down, and looking at Jihee’s expression after listening to Hyuna’s words, she definitely seemed to be in a good mood. Was it because he knew Wonho wasn’t dating Hyuna?

“It’s not like that.”

“But weren’t you two very close in high school?”

“Well, it’s different from high school.”

“Anyway, it suits you well. “A very handsome man and woman.”

“Thank you for saying that.”

“Oppa, but you’re closest to Wonho, right?”

“Yes… ?”

“Wonho, aren’t you seeing any women these days?”

“I guess there isn’t anything in particular?”

We used to go to clubs together, but I had never heard of such a story, so I answered the truth.

“Okay? “Thank goodness.”

“You said you like Wonho?”

“Uh? Hyuna unnie! “What if I tell you that?”

“That… “I’m sorry.”

“Really… !”

“Jihee. I know Wonho well. “Why didn’t you get advice from me?”

“Under… Then, oppa, give me a push today too.”

“Hey. Wonho doesn’t like it when you approach him suddenly like that.”

“… Really?”

“Uh. Wonho and I stayed together for 4 years. I know it well. “I’ll give you some advice after I’m done.”

“It’s true… ? Okay.”

Good. I passed it. After today’s meeting, I felt like I had to make sure that Jihee was the right girl for Wonho.

‘I guess I’ll have to pick it and eat it today. If you’re such a slut, I can’t stand watching Wonho date a bitch like that.’

… My way.
