Chapter 52 – Controversial List Announcement (1)

052

“I can’t believe it…”

Civil War muttered in a low voice.
Hojindae’s No. 13 Yoon Hyuk and No. 15 Hong Min-jun. They were unknown players that I had never heard of before.

However, in a friendly match, I personally saw and realized the skills of the two players. Like the old saying, “Nangjungjichu”, These two are not players who will remain unknown.

At the same time, the limitations were also clear.
Hojindae’s back number 13 is Yunhyeok. In fact, this player in charge of the build-up of Ho Jin-dae was disappointed with his on-the-ball ability compared to his excellent soccer intelligence and off-the-ball ability. Because it was lacking

Apparently it was.
That was just a month ago.

But what about now?

‘Yoon Hyuk… Has grown I still need more development on the technical side, but my ability to release pressure has grown remarkably. However, Yoon-hyeok’s growth is common sense. In contrast, Hong Min-joon, what the hell is this guy….’

League Most Valuable Player, Most Points, Most Assists, MVP, Best 11… Seeing Hong Min-jun, who was sweeping away all the prizes, the publicity could not help but shudder.

‘Passing and vision, which were weak points, have developed terribly. Even off-the-ball moves.’

Compared to Yun-hyeok, he still has a sense of lacking, but considering his previous days when he was at the level of a youth, it would be a perfect match.

‘Above all, personal ability… You’re crazy.’

In addition, what is that overwhelming technique that makes Myonghak University’s defense, which is said to be the best in the college league, look like an amateur?
Previously, in terms of technique, the Olympic team was at the highest level, but now it seems that it is not lacking compared to European players who are considered wild cards… No, maybe it doesn’t look better.

Seeing Hong Min-joon lifting the championship cup with a bright smile, I sincerely admired the feat.

‘Genius… That guy is a genius.’

His gaze turned to the murmuring livestock association executives.

“Seniors.”
“Hmm? Co-director? Haven’t you gone yet?”
“The national team list. Shall we discuss it now?”

* * *

The time when the public interest started discussing the national team list with the executives of the National Federation of Livestock Cooperatives.
Hong Min-joon, who became the king of the college league by wiping out Sang-i Ran-sang, was meeting his old friend for a while.

“A long time. 3 years? Is it four years?”

Straight short hair that falls below the ears. Sharp eyes like a cat. And to the unique tear point.
Although he was a little taller than before, his chest came out, his waist was narrower, and his pelvis and hips were convex, but his face was the same as in his memory.

“It’s only been three years, but if you add up the fact that you pretended not to know that you were kicked by me, it’s roughly four years.”
“…….”

It’s the same with that bubbly personality.

“Is that something you would say to a friend you haven’t seen in a while?”
“What about friends? I don’t know a friend like you If you’re a nerd who pretended not to know that it was a car, you wouldn’t know.”

Kyaa~ Look at this young woman without any rip-offs.
It’s just like the old days.

“Oh yes. I was mistaken. I thought they were friends because they looked alike, but I’m not the kind of person who threw away a childhood friend just because I was embarrassed because I was a beggar.”

At my sarcasm, he folded his arms and sneered.

“Isn’t it obvious? If you don’t have the ability, you should throw it away.”
“Look at me, really.”

Fatherless year. Really nothing has changed
Well, that’s the charm of this carefree childhood friend.

“… What. Still, I had no intention of doing that to you. You didn’t wake up first because you refused to confess like a loser.”
“…….”

It’s still useless to have a good memory.
In the past, I would have been too scared to say anything to him, but now I am different.

“Hey.”
“What.”
“Don’t talk about that anywhere.”

Daye Yoon is her childhood friend.
So… A so-called childhood friend from childhood. To be honest, I don’t think it’s right to call him a bad friend rather than a childhood friend.

The reason I became friends with him was simple.
It was just that he was the same age who lived next door to her.

Daye Yoon and I lived in an old-fashioned villa.
We were neighbors who lived in an old-fashioned villa in a hilly neighborhood with poor family circumstances.

Daldongne in the countryside.
Daye and I are the only peers, and since we are next-door cousins, we quickly became close. Due to our difficult circumstances, we couldn’t even attend a mediocre academy, let alone kindergarten, so we always hung out together.

However, if there is one peculiar thing… Looking back, even I at that time had a vague idea that Daye was not an ordinary kid.

“Everyah~ Let’s go out and play~ Huh?”

I think that day was Daye’s 9th birthday.
My family was in a difficult family situation, and Daye’s and parents were always away from home because of their dual incomes, and the two of us, as only children, used to go in and out of each other’s homes as if they were our own.

“You sit down and study.”

As usual that day, I opened Daye’s front door with the key and went in. Daye was sitting at her table working on her workbook.

“Oh no! Don’t do that, huh? Huh? If you go to Super Uncle, he will give you snacks!”
“I do not need.”

Daye was a very mature child.
It’s not that she’s grown-up by any measure.

Daye was a very cute and pretty child. She looks so special even to my young eyes.
Maybe that’s why, when Daye and I were walking the streets together, I would receive favors from adults that I had never received before.

For example, an adult passing by will buy you ice cream because you are cute, or a superman will give you snacks.
Then, just by being by Daye’s side, if I was lucky, I could get a snack, or if I was unlucky, I could share what Daye received.

At the time, I was obsessed with the snacks I ate so much.

“Why? Why don’t you need I am good.”
“I don’t need cheap sympathy.”
“Sympathy? What is it?”

The reason I considered Daye as a grown-up was,

“You say Do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?”
“Yes? What do you live for?”
“Do you really want to live a miserable life like this?”
“What’s messing around?”
“Are you going to keep living in this shithole like this, you idiot?”
“I just need everything.”
“I do not want to. I’m sick of it.”

Just this part.
Looking back now, Daye was so grown-up that I couldn’t even think of him as a 9-year-old kid.

“I will succeed. I will succeed and get out of here.”
“Yes. I see.”
“Then you succeed too.”
“Me? Why me?”
“I hate incompetent men. If you’re my friend, you should hang out with me no matter what.”

An ambitious child with deep thoughts, excellent thinking skills, and a thirst for success.

“Then let this one go.”

A collection of worn-out problems. It was the workbook I had obtained from a man in the neighborhood who had thrown away the booklet, saying that his daughter had grown up and was no longer using it.

“I don’t know.”
“… You can’t study.”
“Ah~ I don’t know. Studying is not fun. That’s all~ Let’s do something else. Yes?”
“Oh really.”

He always gets annoyed when I pester him, but he’s also a versatile guy who eventually loses.
I still don’t know what he thought of me, but at the time I was the only friend, so he couldn’t help it either.

“Then wait a minute?”
“Yes! What shall we play?”
“… Do you want to play hospital?”
“Great!!”

And another one.
The thing about him was that he was mature.

“Doctor, it hurts here.”
“Um~ this way?”
“Oh… Yeah, a little bit higher.”
“Are you popping out here?”
“Yeah… Right.”

It is said that he opened his eyes to the castle from an early age.
I didn’t know that I was innocent at the time, but it was the clitoris that Daye made me play with at the hospital.

Well, I didn’t actually insert or insert my fingers all the way inside, but I think it was clearly caressing.
Daye made me rub the clitoris from time to time through hospital play.

So it was.
So I was mistaken.

“Hey. Daye Yoon.”
“Yes?”
“Let me see.”
“Busy.”
“What is busy?”
“It’s an Ingangbo.”
“You can just pause.”

In the second year of middle school.
When I was young, I also opened my eyes to the castle.

Until then, Daye and I continued to play secretly at the hospital, and we would caress each other’s genitals without penetration. I thought of it as a kind of green light.

“I told you not to talk to me when I was studying. What? If you talk about it again, I will get really angry.”
“It’s not that hot. Come out quickly.”
“Ha.”

Daye, who was listening to the free training provided by EBS, woke up nervously messing with her bobbed hair.
I took him to a deserted place,

“Hey. How about clarifying?”
“Reveal? What?”
“Our relationship.”
“Under? What relationship?”
“Ol~ Yoon Daye~ Pretending not to know? You filmed playing hospital yesterday too.”
“Crazy. Did you really turn? Are you going to tell them about it?”
“What are you talking about? Don’t tell me we’re dating.”
“… What?”

I said it unnecessarily and confidently.

“Let’s tell them what we like about each other. You ask me every day, are you not dating? I’m tired of making excuses for being a childhood friend, really.”

Yoon Daye, who had been looking at me expressionlessly at the 45-degree handsome angle he practiced in the mirror all day yesterday, smiled and said, threw a comment.

“So, at this point, we’re officially dating—”
“Hey.”
“Uh? Uh, why?”

Feeling strange at that emotionless expression, he indifferently watched as I stuttered and answered, and said,

“I said I will succeed.”
“… Uh. Is not it?”
“What can you give me?”
“Wait, give me? What?”
“I am going to meet a man who will help me. Love? Take no interest. If you’re sure you’ll succeed, you can go out with anyone. But there isn’t What kind of confidence do you have about the future?”
“Hey. What do you say Are you very sad?”
“Ha. Min Joon. Minjun Hong. I’ve given you several, dozens, hundreds of chances. You missed that opportunity.”
“What kind of weird noise is that? What chance?”
“… Done. I’ll pretend I didn’t hear that.”

Ignoring her intuition that she shouldn’t be caught, she grabbed Yoon Daye, who coldly turned away.
At the time, I was only a sophomore in middle school, a boy who was trembling at his first confession.

“Hey! Daye Yoon! I like you?”
“By the way?”
“You like me too!”
“Therefore?”
“Oh really. Let’s date!”
“Hong Min-jun.”

Yoon Daye said with a cold expression.

“I don’t date a man with no power. If you want to go out with me, come and succeed.”

* * *

“I remember? What did you say when I confessed?”

Daye Yoon, who was looking at my smiling face, nodded her head politely.

“I remember. I have a good memory unlike anyone else.”
“…….”

A year without budding.
Pretending to be good-looking.

“Therefore. Did you see? Did I succeed?”
“Hmm.”
“But what? I’m not interested in you anymore.”

Kya~ Yoon Daye’s strange expression filled me with joy.
