Chapter 393 – Episode 385. Break Through Head On.

Ta – Aak!

“No, seniors! Why did you come now! “What did you do yesterday?”

Cuba is probably the best in baseball. These days, even professional players have joined the national team to showcase their country’s players, but that hasn’t stopped our batting lineup.

Seong-Hyun, who appeared as a starter today, held off Cuban batters with no runs until the sixth inning, and Koo Jin-Mo’s two-run home run increased the score to 12-0. I was worried about yesterday’s game against the Netherlands, but fortunately, the seniors I knew were back.

In addition, I had a bad hit, but I added one more home run and recorded not bad results with 2 hits in 3 at-bats, 2 home runs, and 1 walk.

The best game to wash away the defeat against the Netherlands! Yesterday, the hitters who were tied to Van den Berg attacked Cuban pitchers as if they were going to wash away their anger.

And in the bottom of the 7th inning, the pitcher who came up to end the game was Ko Young-hwan, who moved to the big league this season. After replacing Park Cheol-young, I was able to comfortably enjoy Go Young-hwan’s pitching.

“It’s a cold game today, so I won’t be eliminated.”

“Yes.”

“If we win by multiple goals against Panama tomorrow, there will be no problem in taking first place.”

“Well, even if we lose, we will still go up. Unless you get a cold game.”

You can hear the coaches talking from behind the dugout. He was probably calculating the number of cases until yesterday, but his voice was quite light.

All that was needed to advance to the next round was a minimum of 3rd place. There were three groups, so only two teams advanced, but since we scored so many goals today, there was little chance of us falling. Moreover, the moment we beat Panama, advancement was confirmed.

In particular, the team called Cuba was a tough team, and the fact that it was a cold game like this meant that yesterday’s game could be considered a simple condition issue, so the coaches’ voices had no choice but to be bright.

The game ended like that, with Ko Young-hwan cleaning up the last batter with the bright voices of the coaches.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

“Let’s get a good rest today and prepare well for tomorrow’s game!”

“Still, I have to go up to first place.”

“Yes! Thank you for your hard work!”

Unlike yesterday, the atmosphere in the dugout was bright. It was a perfect game except that Seonghyeon, the starting pitcher, pitched well today, so it seems like he will be the MVP of the game.

“Wow, I’m glad I won. It’s really because of me yesterday.”

“Are you still paying attention to that?”

“Under… Do you know how many curses I received in DM yesterday? Are you a traitor to the country? Are you swimming?”

For some reason, Wonho’s expression didn’t look bright in the morning, and he seemed to be worried about that.

“So I said erase it. “What good is that?”

“Still, it’s fun to see the messages of support. It can also be comforting. Ah, but didn’t you make it in high school too?”

“… I erased it. “Strange guys just send pictures of their dicks.”

There was a secret account, but it was like it didn’t exist because I didn’t post anything and only people I carefully selected followed.

“Okay? You should try it too. There are many times when it helps.”

“You do a lot.”

“Even if I tell this bastard good things. Done. “Let’s go take a shower.”

“If you come next to me, I will kill you.”

“… Why is this happening all of a sudden? “When I was in high school, I was locked in a chicken coop and did well.”

At that time, there were many baseball team members, but now there are fewer people and the facilities are good as it is a major league stadium, so fortunately, there is no need to shower while looking at the naked bodies of male cubs.

When I returned from the shower and turned on my phone as usual, the phone was on fire.

“… “What is it?”

-Soyoung: Maengho. Don’t give strange answers. If possible, don’t do interviews. My sister will take care of it.

-Fuck House 1: Hey, are you okay? LOL I think you’re fucked?

In addition to Soyoung and Hyuna, quite a few people left me messages expressing concern. There are so many characters that it is difficult to check them all.

“What? Why are they like this?”

And such fuss didn’t just happen on cell phones. While all the seniors in the locker room were watching me, Ki Joo Ki, one of my closest seniors on the national team, approached me.

“Meng Hao, have you seen the article? “It was a total mess?”

“Why? Did I do it like usual? Well, it’s not difficult to hit two home runs in one game.”

“No, not that one, dude. Didn’t you see the article? “I heard there’s an uproar right now.”

“What is it?”

The weather forecaster held out his cell phone without saying a word. What was floating on the phone screen was an article.

-Popular idol Joohee’s lover, national representative Mr. J. Controversy over promiscuous personal life?

One day before iBlack’s comeback, Joohee visited the stadium to throw out the first pitch. It was not unusual for a girl group about to make a comeback to throw out the first pitch, but Joohee’s next destination was strange. A creepy bar on the outskirts of Seoul. There, Joohee met Mr. J. For your information, Mr. J is a person who had a scandal with Se-hee, an actor from Joo-hee’s agency, last year!

What is this man’s charm? Joohee laughs.

(Photo of Joohee and Mr. J smiling in front of the car.)

The affectionate appearance of the two people made them look like they were dating. Since someone close to iBlack had said, ‘It seems like iBlack and a baseball player are dating,’ this reporter wanted to dig deeper into this meeting. And what I discovered was shocking.

Mr. J never stopped seeing women every night. Mr. J goes home only three days out of the week. Except for the days when he went home, Mr. J was busy going to clubs and hotels and meeting women. Even the team cheerleader.

(Photo of Team A’s cheerleader and Mr. J entering the hotel)

Did Joohee notice Mr. J’s promiscuous private life? Perhaps because of shock, I was unable to capture Juhee and Mr. J meeting after that, but judging from Mr. J’s private life, it seemed true that Juhee and Mr. J were passionately in love. …

‘What the fuck, when did you take this photo? Anyone can see that it’s me, right? And what is Juhee? Fuck, I couldn’t even hold his hand. I wrote a complete novel.’

I was dumbfounded, but I read the article out of curiosity to see what it would say. But after that, the article was filled with useless words and a few pictures of me entering the hotel. Feeling like there wasn’t much fun going on, I handed the phone back to Gigi-ju.

“… Nothing special?”

“Are you sure you’ve seen the end?”

“No. It stopped being fun in the middle.”

“Hey, read everything.”

-… Meanwhile, Mr. J’s promiscuous personal life continued even in the United States. Mr. J, who was selected as a member of the national team for this Olympics, seemed to have forgotten that he was representing the country. He was captured eating with foreign athletes at a restaurant near the athletes’ village.

(Italian track and field athlete eating with Mr. J.)

(American shooting athlete entering the athletes’ village with Mr. J.)

(French equestrian athlete entering a hotel near the athletes’ village with Mr. J.)

(An American swimmer coming out of the athletes’ village with Mr. J early in the morning.)

This is all that this reporter has confirmed. Perhaps he had forgotten that he had to train for the Olympics where he would represent his country, but Mr. J was busy meeting women. And then the game started.

(Mr. J getting out at third base. Should he have had sex a little bit? Mr. J looks like he regrets it.)

(Mr. J makes an error at second base. Was he thinking of the girl he met yesterday during her game?)

Perhaps because of Mr. J’s mistakes one after another, the national team ended up losing to the weak team Netherlands… … Meanwhile, one player who enjoyed a night with Mr. J said, ‘J is the best man I’ve ever met. ‘After I had sex with him, he couldn’t come to his senses for the rest of the day.’, ‘He only felt pleasure twice while I was going 7 times.’, ‘J. He supported Mr. J’s promiscuous private life by saying, ‘He was like a drill.’ …

“… What? Are you crazy? “Why did you write an article like this?”

“Hey, so I told you to try not to get caught, right?”

Of course, I knew that I met a lot of women all day and night. It was strange not knowing that I was with my teammates six days a week. Even when I asked her what her routine was, she would answer that she had sex the day before.

Of course, at first, there were some seniors who told me to do it in moderation, but since my grades were so good, no one really touched me.

Also, touching was strange. It wasn’t that I was late for training or that I was bad at the stadium, but touching an adult’s private life was strange in itself, so my seniors didn’t say anything.

“Mianta, Meng Hao. I guess I accidentally introduced Joohee that day and ended up with a strange person. There are a paparazzi that specializes in the entertainment industry…”

Before I knew it, Joo Seung-cheol also came over and expressed his apologies. He probably thought it was his fault that this reporter was there.

“Hey, what am I sorry about?”

After I told Joo Seung-cheol that it was okay, seniors started coming around me.

“Hey, but are you really dating Joohee?”

“Wasn’t there a rumor that you were dating an actor before?”

“No! No. “Juhee couldn’t even hold her hand!”

“So you’re actually a cheerleader?”

“Hehe, what is that?”

“Wow, this bastard has been picking on so many different things. To Italy, to America, to France.”

“Did you get a rice cake the day before yesterday too?”

“That too…”

“Bro, this bastard’s routine is the day before the game.”

“Is it real?”

“I heard it’s true.”

“It’s usually like that.”

“… “Did you even hit it before last year’s Korean Series?”

“Yes. There is no reason not to hit it. And I did better on days when I hit than on days when I didn’t.”

“Under…, I ended up getting runner-up because of this bastard.”

“Ruler! Quiet! Quiet! Ji Maengho! Come here! The director is calling.”

While I was answering the players’ questions, the coach called me. I followed the coach, ignoring the seniors who were asking questions.

“Under… It’s Meng Hao. What are you going to do with this?”

“Yes? What do I do?”

“The national team’s image right now doesn’t make sense. There were reporters outside too. Ah, director. “Are you here?”

“Meng Hao.”

Director Lee Geum-hyun spoke in a low voice that was not normally heard. He felt like a grandfather who always said nice things to me, but when he spoke in such a low tone, I felt a cold sweat break out.

“Yes?”

“How are we going to solve it?”

“That is…”

“… If you want, we can ban you from contacting reporters until the Olympics are over.”

As expected, director! The director seemed to be on my side. In fact, even in the Asian Games, coach Lee Geum-hyun turned a blind eye to me going in and out of other players’ rooms or calling other players into my room.

“Instead, you have to win unconditionally. Otherwise, the words will continue to come out.”

“… It’s okay.”

It was a good thing to say that I would not have any contact with reporters until the Olympics were over, but I did not want to cause too much trouble to the coach who trusted me. Therefore, the words that came out of my mouth were rejection.

“… Huh?”

“Of course I will win.”

“Then…”

“We will attack head on.”

I haven’t committed any crime, so why do I have to avoid reporters?
