Chapter 95 – A New Beginning (1)

095

I contacted my parents in advance before leaving the training center.
Because public opinion is not good, there is a possibility that there will be anti-fans in front of the training center. You shouldn’t be offended to see your son swearing at you for coming here for no reason.

Contrary to my worries, the front of the training center was full of fans cheering for me, not anti-anti.
The heated atmosphere in the early days subsided and public opinion in defense, which had been holding its breath, grew or something.

Received support from the fans, they got into a car prepared in advance and headed to the hotel.
Paparazzi may stick to it, so it seems uneasy to use the officetel where you stayed. Not to mention, I live with a woman, and my sister Heeyeon and Suyeon come and stay from time to time, so it’s difficult if I get caught.

Even though public opinion is not good, he lives with a woman. It’s not just one or two people, but three people come in and out all the time?
Just imagining what you’re going to hear is terrifying.

As soon as I knocked on the hotel room that Harin Oh had informed me of through her chat, the door opened immediately.
And what I saw…

“Yoon Daye?”

She was Yoon Daye, skinny enough to make one wonder if she had a fatal disease.

“Why are you here?”
“I called.”

It was O’Harin behind the door who answered my question.
Oh Harin, who closed the door, also had a pale complexion. She didn’t look very good.

Even before enlistment, my complexion was not good, but I thought it was because I enlisted… It got worse

“What is your face like? Are you sick?”

Shaking her head, Oh Harin’s gaze turned to my back. She follows her gaze and there is Yoon Da-ye sitting in her chair, shrugging her shoulders as if she were a criminal.

“Why are you so skinny?”
“…….”
“Hey. Where are you really sick?”
“No.”
“No, it looks really sick. Look at me.”

Unlike Yoon Daye, she averted her gaze.
What the hell Why are you like this?

Even when she was poor and had nothing, she was always well-groomed.
Not only the appearance, but also the atmosphere that is revealed in the middle of the day, and even the attitude of making eye contact when dealing with people.

The sight of such a child sitting with her shoulders shrunken, unable to meet her gaze… Truly, a sight I never want to see again.

“It’s okay? Aren’t you really sick?”

As I cautiously approached him, my shoulders started to tremble slightly.

“Black.”
“… Uh?”
“Huh… I’m sorry, Minjun.”
“… Daye Yoon?”

She stared at him, frozen in the same posture she was approaching.
Drops of water dripping down her face, which was bent over.

“Are you crying?”
“Huh, sorry, huh.”

Are you crying?
Is it Yoon Daye?

We’ve spent countless hours together since we were very young children, but we’ve never seen her cry.
In me, Daye Yoon does everything brilliantly, and she is smarter than anyone else, and she’s fierce and arrogant… She is truly someone you can admire.

A child like that was crying in front of me.

“Hey, hey, what are you doing? Are you kidding? Yes?”
“I, heck, I’m sorryhehe.”
“Yoon Daye. Why are you like this. Don’t cry What is it?”

The body that had been frozen at the sound of bursting cries was relieved.
As she hugs the guy who is about to collapse, she realizes anew as she pats his back.

Was he this small?
Are you this skinny?

Yoon Daye, held in my arms, began to cry even more sadly, and I panicked and tried to calm her down.
Yoon Daye’s head, which had been pouring out, went down.

“Yoon Daye? Hey! Wake up!!”
“Don’t wake me up. I couldn’t sleep, so I must be tired.”

Only then did she realize that Oh Harin was there.

“Harin. What happened? Why are you two together? And why is he doing this?”
“I told you earlier, I called.”
“You… ? You all hate it.”
“I don’t like… “

I paused her words for a moment and looked at her face, Daye Yoon, who fell asleep as if fainting.

“Okay. Hate it. But I hate myself for not being able to do anything more than what he hates.”

She took her word out of the blue.

“What?”
“I’m not good at dealing with people.”

What is that all of a sudden… ?

“I’m not good at talking kindly or giving comfort.”

With her arms folded and her back leaning against the wall at an angle, Oh Harin’s gaze wandered somewhere beneath her feet.

“I couldn’t do anything when you were having a hard time. I hate myself for not being able to comfort, help, or help. I hate that the agency that started out for you actually made it difficult for you.”

Not.
Not really hard… No, to be honest, it was a bit difficult.

No matter how strong your mentality is, you can’t be swayed by criticism from all sides.
However, if you ask me if it was extremely difficult, I can answer emphatically. No.

It would have been really difficult if there was no status window, so I wasn’t sure that I would recover my blonde hair, and that I would be able to grow even more. However, I was confident about the status window, and I was confident that I would recover quickly and grow rapidly.

The accusations that came from all sides were nothing more than a snort.
On the contrary, I even looked forward to what the critics would say later.

“Harin, that’s… “
“More than anything, I hate myself for not being able to properly support myself as a woman and a wife. Too broken I’m so pathetic, hateful, angry… And I’m so sorry. So, that’s why I called.”

Raising her head, Oh Harin’s gaze turned to Yoon Daye, who was soundly asleep.

“Because I am not enough. Because it doesn’t work. I still hate it… Because I can’t comfort you alone.”

I never thought of that.
She wasn’t overly stressed, and her O’Harin’s presence was enough.

But it’s hard to put this into words.
No, I have a feeling that something tickles my heart and I shouldn’t open my mouth hastily.

‘… I do not know. I don’t know what to do.’

Momentary worry.
But the decision was quick.

【Possessed Points 58 ▶ 0P】

She has been struggling for the past three weeks in training.
What is my problem What is the reason why the status window is crooked even though there is a status window?

It was simple.
Imprudence.

If it’s a status window, there’s no harm to me, I’ll just have to collect points anyway.
From a certain point on, she began to make impromptu judgments according to her mood at that time, feeling like playing a game instead of deep thinking about investing points.

No.
Even in a game, I would seriously think about raising character stats, but I only thought about it shallowly.

Because it’s an ability you’ll have to invest someday anyway.
No matter what you upload, it’s no harm.
Points can be accumulated again.

Looking back, the status window clearly warned me.
I made a rash decision even though I gave enough notice through a warning message I had never seen before. At some point, I became complacent about football.

And the only thing that can secure it is enough vigilance…

Barcelona’s director of football and CEO Rafael Yuste glanced at Joannes, head of scouting, who stormed into the office.

“Are there any problems?”
“Is it true?”
“What do you mean?”
“Winter transfer market. Is it true?”

Despite the unexpected remark, Raphael Yuste silently engraved his signature on the document.
So long

Still going through the papers, Raphael Yuste answered simply.

“If you’re referring to the player you recruited as your captain, that’s right.”
“I can not understand. He still needs to adapt, and he needs to be given more chances.”

At Yoannes’ insistence, Raphael rubbed his wrinkled eyes.

“Hey Yoan. I know you’re attached to the player you actively advocated for, but this is business. I mean, it’s not driven by personal feelings.”
“If I judged really objectively, this result would not have happened!! Don’t you know!! He was just out of balance as he grew taller rapidly! In the opinion of the medical team, the growth is over now, so just adjust the body balance and he can play well enough!”
“When?”
“Yes?”

Raphael was cynical.

“Adjustment? Good. But is there one or two players who suddenly collapsed while growing taller? When will the adjustment be over? A dribbler, especially a dribbler who enjoys technical play, is more sensitive to the center of gravity and balance. Very subtle differences determine who is a good dribbler and who commits turnovers.”
“That… “
“Hong Min-joon grew 8 cm in a short period of time. His center of gravity was elevated, his legs lengthened, and his upper and lower body unbalanced. As you know, it’s difficult to strike a delicate balance in the body. Do you think he can show the same dribbler appearance as before with a body that has changed from before, even if he regained his balance in a short period of time? For a dribbler, a height difference of 8 cm is a huge difference.”

Looking at the speechless Yoannes, Raphael spoke coldly.

“I don’t know if Hong Min-Jun’s playing style is different, but he is a typical dribbler. Even though he is not suitable for the football that we value and possession football, we recruited him because we expected him to open up cracks in narrow spaces and dense defense with excellent techniques evaluated that would work in La Liga. And above all, for the Asian market. But something.”

Raphael took some papers from the desk and waved them around.

“This is the reaction of the Asian market. In the beginning, numerous sponsorship offers came in, but since Hong Min-jun was sluggish, he quickly withdrew his footing. We believed that Hong Min-jun would be active and postponed the contract, but he only drank water. Do you still think we should put that player on the limited 25-man roster?”
“… So isn’t the rental enough?”
“What can I do if they want perfect transfer conditions? If the player’s side refuses, we have no choice but to start him in a league game. It’s because of the contract. Oh! Besides, next year, we have to start seven games! Another year later, 10 games!!”

Bang!
After hitting the desk, Raphael twisted his lips.

“The director has already made a decision. To bring back Fernando. You can’t fill your roster with useless players while you’re doing well in every competition. He will go on loan.”

Yoannes asked helplessly.

“Where are you sending it?”
“Good. That would be player choice. Personally, this one called the most conditions. I want you to go to this hogu team.”

Raphael sneered as he looked down at the paperwork with the red eagle logo on it.

“It’s a really good team.”
