Chapter 139 – Korean Fandom Culture? (One)

139

In the eyes of others, I think there are only two crises in my football life, high school and Barcelona.

Even if it was unknown in high school, the sluggishness in Barcelona really received enough attention that the Korean soccer world was covered with that topic for a while.

Isn’t that the target of sluggishness right away.
Starting with the story of an unknown university leaguer suddenly being selected for the Olympic team, leading Korea to a silver medal and winning the top scorer?

The first time in Korea and the second Asian scorer.
In addition, at the young age of 20 at the time, he had a gorgeous play style and appearance.

When the contract with Barcelona, ​​which can not be known by those who watch soccer, was announced, the whole nation cheered.

How can you not be interested in the sudden fall of such a rising star?

“Hey, Minjun. If you’re having trouble talking, you don’t have to.”

Kind sister So-yeong tries to dissuade her, but in fact, there is nothing difficult about it.

“Ah~ It’s okay. Actually, I wasn’t bad at Barcelona, ​​right?”
-Ugh!!
—His sincerity revealed
—No Oppa ㅜㅜㅜㅜ Oppa was really good, but Barsilona? Was bad ㅠㅠㅠ
—But Barça Hong Min-jun couldn’t hit the shield lol It was a really eye-opening performance;
—My brother never did that, right? Why are you fabricating? It makes me feel bad

Indeed, the Barcelona aggro effect was excellent.
Black is the background, white is the text… Looking at the chat window that went up so quickly that I couldn’t even recognize what it was, it seemed that the aggro was working properly.

“Wow… I can’t read the chat window because it’s so fast. But honestly…”

Well. Devil’s Mouth… No, let’s brush the snout.
Shamelessly put an iron plate on his face and fluttered his snout.

“I do have a bit of an unfair side. Sluggishness is sluggishness and failure is failure, so I’ve never said it before in case it sounds like an excuse… In fact, right after I moved to Barcelona, ​​I suddenly grew over 7cm tall.”

First of all, my position is that of a victim.
Actually, the sluggishness started because of my shoveling, but no one except me knows the status window, and it’s true from the outside.

“Some people say it’s good to be taller… But if you grow taller in such a short period of time, everything from your center of gravity to your balance is ruined.
“Right. In particular, this is a subtle sensory part that is difficult to recover in a short period of time even with training, so it must have been very difficult for Hong Min-joon.”

Soyoung, who is kind and ignorant of anything, warmly responded to my throat.
I think the victim cosplay is enough, so let’s finish it in moderation.

“I wish the club waited a little longer, but I don’t blame Barcelona. Barcelona is a club that wants to win in all competitions, so we need to use the 25-man roster as efficiently as possible. Above all, we are professionals. I understand the club’s decision because I couldn’t show it.”
— Kya… I would be so damn sad if it was me
— Minjun Hong! Minjun Hong! Minjun Hong! Minjun Hong!
—The light of my heart, the light of my soul, Hong Min-joon is a legend…
—Honestly, this is Barcelona’s fault
—Even if you waited just a little bit, Hong Min-joon would become a team, but it was too latehaha

After talking about the most sensitive part first, after that, I received various questions in a relatively light atmosphere.

“The goal is to grow as much as possible in Frankfurt, improve performance, and go to the World Cup finals?”
“Ah~ The salary is a secret.”
“Who is it? Who? Jorge Garcia? No, why ishehere? Interview? He mentioned me in an interview again? Ah~ crazy. What is he my stalker? Well, he always talks about me. Oh, it’s really not like that. . I’m really not gay. Absolutely not… I’m not really like that with him!!”

The more I interviewed, the more I could clearly see what the public’s image of me was like.

More professional than expected, sincere, not fond of training fanatics and media exposure, diligent and disciplined incarnation… This is a shameful image of senior Park Ji-sung.

I expected it to some extent, but it was much worse.

“I’ll think about appearing in commercials or broadcasting later. Ah, now it’s almost time to board the plane. Let me take one last question.”
“Ah, sorry. Then, the last question is~”

Before Soyoung noona opens her mouth,

“Ah. A girlfriend?”

I postponed it as if I suddenly found it in the chat window for the last remark I had planned.

“Ugh!?”
-Come!!
—I finally read it
—Oppa, please tell me there is no

I’m trying to tilt her head pretending to be worried, but the chat window explodes and it’s funny.

“Ahaha. It’s not like I’m not interested in women or anything like that. I have a girlfriend. Ah, I really need to go now. Soyoung noona, I’ll call you again~”
“Eh!?”

I think Soyoung noona is so surprised… I’ll talk to you later.

* * *

“It’s over?”
“Eh. Ah, my mouth hurts from talking all the time.”

She passes the pad to O’Harin and boards the plane to Frankfurt.

“You also heard from the side, right? My image is more exemplary than I thought.
“It’s okay. It’s not a crime, and your image won’t deteriorate to the point of being horny. Of course, if you continue to be active as you are now.”
“Don’t worry about that. You’re not going to grow like you are now, are you?”
“That’s it.”

Oh Harin responded chicly, leaning the back of her head against his headrest and closing her eyes.

“I’m going to sleep now, so don’t talk to me.”
“…Ah, yes, yes. Of course you must be sleepy.”

Yesterday I rode a horse all night in bed, and if I’m not tired, is that a person?
I am the most tired.

“Hey, Yoon Daye. Are you sleeping already?”
“Noisy.”
“What have you been dozing off like a sick chicken since earlier?”
“…You do not have to know.”
“Oh, is that so?”

But.
He must have had a lot of trouble watching me staring at me suffering all night.

In fact, horses are stealing, and at this point, everyone knows. I know, but I just don’t show it.

‘When am I going to catch and eat this little bastard?’

Maybe Yoon Daye knows too. Did she get caught?
Even at home in Frankfurt, I leave the door about 1/3 open every time I have sex with O’Harin, but if you don’t notice, that’s stupid.

I don’t think that the pakkom Yoon Daye doesn’t know yet.

“Hey, hey. How was the interview? It wasn’t too much, was it?”
“I don’t know.”
“I wonder if it was a bit like saying it in the lintel. … No. The lintel is better than the media. Now, I can pretend to be less modest when interviewing, right?”
“Take care of it.”
“When are you going to reveal that you don’t have just one girlfriend?”
“Ah! Jjom!”
“What order do you like?”
“…What?”
“What is it? How many times would you like to be revealed to be my girlfriend?”
“Uh, uh… Me?”

It’s so cute that your eyes are blinking.
