Chapter 163 – Going to the Competition.

The next day, a match started with the son of the member of the National Assembly.

The boxing association executive who visited us yesterday came back before the match and said once again that it would be good to play today’s match.
I looked at the back of the executive’s head and gnashed my teeth.

I, Lee Seong-jin, made a promise to myself that if I looked at someone wrong, I would definitely tell them that I was wrong for a long time.

I put on the headgear and climbed into the ring, but the son of a member of the National Assembly on the other side was also wearing a headgear and leaning against the corner in a comfortable position.
The height is also in the middle of 170 cm, and literally looks normal.

I will definitely meet my parents well, go to college through corruption and get a good job later.
I gritted my teeth as I glared at the son of a member of the National Assembly who was laughing at me, vowing to make this dirty world and my country work properly.

Perhaps the force I was exhaling was higher than expected, and the director put the mouthpiece in my mouth and said a word.

“Sungjin. Don’t look at it and do it in moderation. Whoops.”

After patting my back and grinning, the director stepped down from the ring.
I also showed the mouthpiece to the director, smiled and waited for the gong to ring.

Soon after, the ball went up and I ran quickly.
I was thinking of giving the first punch properly, but the son of a member of the National Assembly also lightly blocked my fist, as if he was not as talented as he thought.
I thought it was a bit surprising, but I wasn’t surprised.

Although he dodged my first punch, the congressman’s son seemed to be taken aback and immediately jumped up and started stomping and jabbing.

‘Good night. If you’re going to do it outboxing, I’ll do it outboxing too.’

I also stomped my feet and hopped along, throwing quick jabs.
My jab was so fast that the congressman’s son seemed a little taken aback, then he ran around to avoid my fist.

But that was my intention.

With a quick jab, I drove the congressman’s son into our corner.
The congressman’s son frantically avoided my fist, but when he finally realized he was cornered, he raised his guard and prepared to strike back.

In the other corner, people shouted to get out quickly and there was an uproar.
But it was clear that the congressman’s son wasn’t listening because I purposely drove him into our corner.

I kept hitting my left jab quickly over the guard.
Even though it was a jab, its destructive power was no joke.
A bewildered light shone in the eyes of the son of a member of the National Assembly.

I increased the motion a bit and deliberately hit a straight right hand that slightly missed.
The congressman’s son reflexively turned his head to avoid my fist.

My fist glided past the ear of the congressman’s son and slammed into a pole behind him.
There was a loud banging sound as the pillars swayed.
The congressman’s son was staring up at me with his eyes wide open in amazement, unable to stretch his fist.
He deliberately hit the pillar with all his might to feel fear, so he must have been frightened inside.

I smiled and said goodbye.
The congressman’s son quickly hit the guard, and I raised his left uppercut from the bottom as if to clear the guard.
I was over 10cm tall, and I bent my knees, sat down, and lifted it up from the bottom as hard as I could, so the guard inevitably opened.

And the breathlessness that followed…

Until now, in matches, if the opponent did not respond, they would relax moderately and wait until the referee declared the game to be stopped.
But today, I didn’t give a damn until the referee hugged me and stopped me.
Maybe in the future, the son of that member of the National Assembly will run away in fear when he sees me.

As the referee rolled back and stepped back, he looked at the son of a member of the National Assembly, and despite wearing his headgear, his eyes and lips were red and swollen, and his nose was crushed and bleeding.
Then, he leaned against the pillar of the ring for a while, and then, as if he had passed out, he sat down as if it were flowing down.
But then, I heard a voice calling someone anxiously from the stands.

“Sangcheol-ah. Oh, Sangcheol.”

It was probably that member of parliament.

I gave him a quick glance and went down the ring unpacking his gear.
I unwrapped the bandages on his hands, tidied up, tied my bag, and came out. At the door, the member of the National Assembly and an executive from the boxing association were standing glaring at me.

“You bastard. I made it clear, but are you doing something like that?”

The executive went ahead and pointed at me and screamed.
Seeing that the person screaming was an executive of the Boxing Association, people around me just glanced at me as they passed by, but no one stopped me or said anything.
I didn’t say anything and just stared at him.

“What if I stare at you? Ok?”

The boxing association executive, who was conscious of the member of parliament next to him and went further, tried to swing his hand.
Then the director came forward and grabbed him and stopped him, asking what he was doing.

A member of the National Assembly, who was watching the situation with an angry face, came up to me and swung his arm to slap him.

“What would a young guy do if he opened his eyes and stared at me when the adults were talking about him?”

A member of parliament also waved his hand, saying not much different from a boxing association executive.
The director was holding on to the executive of the boxing association, so the member of the National Assembly could not do anything.
That said, I wasn’t the one who could stand still.
He grabbed the hand of a member of the National Assembly flying into his face and threw it away.

“What, did you catch me now? Aren’t you going to let this go?”
“Mr. The general election will be held in March next year. Can you stay here right now? There are also reporters over there, but they don’t seem to be afraid.”

As I spoke with a rotten smile on my lips, the member of the National Assembly, who had been looking around his head, cleared his throat and lowered his hand.

“You son of a bitch, see if I leave you alone. Jeong has a lot of eyes on him, so stop going.”

The boxing association executive, who gave a quick answer and bowed down, glared at the director and me, then disappeared along with the member of the National Assembly.

“Sungjin, are you okay? It seems that I have been firmly stamped by high-ranking people, but I am worried about the future.”

“Don’t worry, manager. I’ll take care of it. Please stop.”

I returned to the hotel, took a shower, and called Kwang-shik.
I explained what had happened today and said I had a favor to ask.
When Kwang-sik hyung heard my story, he got angry like a fire and ran wild, saying that he would come down right away.

“Brother, don’t get excited. I would like to ask for a background investigation from Congressman Seong-ryeol Kim and Dae-sik Jeong, director of the Boxing Association. Maybe I can use it well for President Kim Hyeon-sam in the general election next year.”

When I brought up the general election and Kim Hyun-sam, Kwang-sik said he would understand immediately and hung up.

“Rep. Kim Seong-ryeol will probably join the United Party in the future, right? Hehe. Maybe I can put it to good use next year.”

In next year’s general elections, Chairman Jung Joo-hyun, who has built the nation’s best conglomerate, will create a sensation by organizing the United Party.
I put a smile on my face as I thought of a funny picture in my head thinking of Congressman Seong-ryeol Kim whom I saw today.

The director was worried that the people might harm them, but during the rest of the period, the two no longer visited.

The next day, the semi-final match was held, but yesterday, I messed up very well in the ring, and today the opponent was also scared and the match ended without being able to properly match.

In the final match, a soldier belonging to the Special Forces was the opponent, but the soldier’s spirit also led to a close battle that went to the third round.

I got hit properly for the first time in the ring.

However, since I was far superior in terms of physical strength, in the 3rd round, my opponent couldn’t stand it and got hit by me and collapsed.

After the game, I took off my headgear, but my eyes hurt.
I looked in the mirror and saw that it was bruised and swollen.
The director applied some kind of medicine to it, so it was shining, but I couldn’t help but feel sick.

“Ah.. It hurts if I get hit too. I thought he wouldn’t get sick because he had monster-like stamina after returning.

Looking in the mirror, I thought of my mother and smiled.

I came out of the bathroom and was about to go to the director for the final awards ceremony when someone suddenly called me.

“Hey. Seongjin Lee.”
“Uh? Swimming sister. What’s going on here? There were no players at Hansol Gym this time.”

When he turned around, he saw his pretty sister, Suyeong, smiling and wearing a knee-length skirt and a jean jacket with a small bag slung across her chest.
I was so happy that I took one step closer to Sooyoung noona and hugged her around the waist.

“Uh.. Uh.. Seongjin, people are watching. Let this go.”

Sooyoung noona looked around her as her face turned red.

“Wow. Did my pretty Sooyoung noona come this far to see me? I am so very happy.”

After saying that, I kissed Sooyoung noona on the lips.
People whistled and laughed as they passed by.
Soo-young noona struggled to get away from me, saying she would die of embarrassment, but when I refused to let go, she eventually buried her face in my chest.
Only then did I let go of Sooyoung and hold her hand.

“Let’s go sister. If you come, you should say hello to the director.”

When I, who said I was going to the bathroom, appeared holding her sister-in-law’s hand, the director greeted her sister-in-law with a loud laugh.

“Swimming. Did Seongjin watch the final match today?”

“Yes. Director. It was the first time I’ve ever seen Sungjin hit like that. Look at Sungjin’s eyes so swollen. Hing. How about this?”

Suyeong noona stopped talking while laughing and she pretended to cry while stroking my eye area.

The director looked at her sister-in-law’s sudden change of attitude as if she was bewildered.
As Suyeong noona pretended to cry and acted like a charmer, the men around her could hear the groaning sighs.
That’s why Soo-young noona was incredibly pretty today.
Moreover, she seems to have become several times more beautiful than she was just a few months ago, probably because she got a camera shower these days while working as a model.

Until the awards ceremony, we really chatted non-stop and excitedly.
The director seemed to be in a good mood as well, joining our chatter and laughing.

Since I’m Sooyoung noona who did boxing not too long ago, the topic of our conversation was of course about boxing, and I didn’t notice the time passing by watching the fighters competing, evaluating their performances, and discussing the boxing techniques they used.

Finally, the awards ceremony began.

I accepted the certificate and plaque bearing the name of President Roh Dae-woo, and it was only now that I realized that I had won the match.
And now I can go to the Olympics, and joy rose from within.
Without realizing it, I raised my hands and let out a shout of joy.

People clapped loudly, and I heard the sound of reporters pressing the shutters.
When I came down from the podium, the director embraced me and loved me.
Sooyoung noona was also holding my arm and shedding tears.

Unfortunately, the hyung who came from our gym lost in the quarterfinals, so he couldn’t win.
But still, he congratulated me right next to me.
I said thank you and we returned to the hotel.

Now, as long as the closing ceremony is held tomorrow, I can return to Seoul.

When we arrived at the hotel, originally we were going to have a dinner with the director and my older brother, but Sooyoung noona came and the director moved away to ask us to go on a date.
I said sorry to the director and went into the room to change clothes.

“Wow. Were you staying at a hotel? Room is good.”

Suyeong noona said that she had only stayed at an inn with Kim when she participated in competitions, but had never slept in a hotel.

“Hey noona, why are you being so clumsy? From now on, my sister will live in a better place than this. Come here.”

I wrapped my arms around Suyeong’s noona’s waist and looked down at her face as she was busy looking around the room.

“Uh.. Uh.. Seongjin-ah. Wait for a sec. If we do this…”

“Why what? What’s wrong? You’ve already kissed countless times. And my sister came all the way to see me like this, can I stay still?”

I slowly lowered my head toward Sooyoung’s lips.
Suyeong noona, who was embarrassed, blushed as well, gently closed her eyes, and lifted her head slightly while sticking out her lips.
I bit and sucked on her jelly-like lips of her swimming sister, then stuck my tongue out.
Suyeong-noona, who was quite used to her kissing by now, sucked her tongue without delay and wrapped her own tongue around hers.
I kissed Suyeong-noona until she was blatant and lifted her head.

“Ah~ As expected, kissing Seongjin is so ecstatic. How many times have you kissed this playboy?”

Sooyoung noona smiled, slightly rolling her eyes.

“So? Don’t like me because I’m a playboy? You hate me, but did you come down here to see me?”

I tickled her older sister’s back and threw her over the bed and kissed her.
Sooyoung noona was also ecstatic as she wrapped her neck around me and kissed her intensely.

“Let’s go out sister. Let’s eat somewhere nice tonight.”

As I got up and started talking, Suyeong noona also looked very excited at the invitation to have dinner.

“My sister and I will quickly wash up and come out, so if you are tired, lie down on the bed and rest for a while.”

I packed my clothes, went into the bathroom, took a shower, and came out.

But Suyeong noona was actually lying in bed and asleep.
Her doll-like sister, Suyeong, curled up and sleeping with her hand under her chin, looked like a painting.

‘Oh, I need to get my phone out soon. How nice it would be to take a picture at a time like this.’

I looked down at Suyeong noona who was sleeping next to her bed, regretting not being able to take a picture of her.
He ran his hand through her hair that fell down her forehead and kissed her on the cheek.
At my movement, Soo-young noona woke up slowly like a princess.

“Wake up. Sleeping princess. We should go out to dinner now.”

“Yes. The bed is so comfortable I fell asleep after lying down for a while. Hi-Hi.”

“My Sooyoung noona looked so pretty when she was sleeping. Sister, after dinner, come and sleep.”

“Eh? Do you see me sleeping here?”

“What? So, didn’t you come to be with me today? It’s late after dinner, so you want to go up to Seoul?”

“Ah.. No.. But.. Right. How can I sleep here with you?”

Sooyoung noona spoke with a stutter as her face turned completely red.

“Ah. Is that so? I also thought that Sooyoung noona came to spend the night with me because she loved me, but it seems she is not. Then, after dinner, noona, then go straight to Seoul because you might be late and the car to Seoul might be cut off. Understand? Wake up what are you doing I’ll take you to the terminal. Let’s go.”

I pretended to be mad and said something I didn’t mean to say.

“G.. Seoul.. Now?”

Sooyoung noona looked at me with her eyes wide open as if she was taken aback by my cold words.

“If you don’t, it will be too late and you won’t be able to go to Seoul. You didn’t come to be with me, but the bus was cut off so what if you can’t go to Seoul? So I have to go now What are you doing, wake up.”

It was so much fun to see Sooyoung noona roll her eyes while being flustered and worried.

“That.. That.. But.. How do you go right now?”

Soo-young’s older sister must have felt sorry for her, and suddenly she burst into tears.
Suyeong noona, who had been boxing for so long and was usually strong, was like this kind of girl in front of me.
I quickly hugged my sister Suyeong and kissed her on the lips.

“Ugh. Were you disappointed with our baby Sooyoung? Sorry. I was kidding Could it be that I just let our pretty Suyeong noona go?”

Sooyoung noona glanced at me while giggling, then put her arms around my neck and held me tight in her arms.

“Love you. Sister. Don’t think about where to go Understand? Today I will serve you a very full course.”

Suyeong noona shyly nodded her head in agreement.

We went after getting a recommendation from the hotel counter for the most famous bibimbap restaurant in Jeonju.
It was so delicious that I thought it was Jeonju Bibimbap.
Suyeong noona was also quite satisfied, so she had a happy face.
It was natural to feel good after traveling far with someone you like and eating delicious food.

We returned to the hotel and chatted over coffee in the lounge.

“By the way, didn’t sister say she was going to start filming this week? You said you were going to shoot fashionable outfits for the winter and spring next year.”

“Huh. Film it until yesterday, take a break over the weekend, and go back next week.”

“How’s work? Is it worth it?”

“Huh. It’s so much fun. I thought I wouldn’t be able to do this because I only exercised, but it seems to fit better than I thought.”

“Look. My older sister said that if I became a celebrity, I would succeed. Maybe sooner or later, the movie side will also come in. Also study acting. I keep doing boxing for my older sister’s figure, but now I’m thinking of becoming a celebrity. Because I will definitely push my sister.”

“Huh. Thank you Sungjin. I guess you really have eyes to see. He recognized my talents that I was unaware of.”

“It is all the power of love. You found out right away because I love you.”

“Tooth. You’re not the only one who loves me There are also slights.”

“Uh? Uh. What.. Kyung-mi. Haha.”

I looked at Soo-young’s older sister, who suddenly brought up the story of Kyung-mi.

“Joy. You can’t look at it like that. Because Kyungmi is like my younger sister now. She talked a lot with Kyungmi. He said he saved Seongjin from being kidnapped by Kyungmi. She hears about Kyung-mi, but Seong-jin is cool but cool. I was probably kidnapped like that too, but if you show up to rescue her, she won’t fall in love like Kyungmi. And she says Kyungmi doesn’t care about herself and she can meet you. She said that she just likes Seongjin to be by her side.. Isn’t Kyungmi too nice? So I definitely acknowledged Kyungmi.”

No matter how much Suyeong noona admitted it, it was awkward.

“Sung Jin-ah, are you really going to the Olympics next year?”

“Huh. I will go out and get the gold medal. Otherwise, why would I come to the National Sports Festival like this?”

“You look great. It’s been a little over a year since I started boxing, and I can win first place at the National Sports Festival and look forward to the Olympics realistically… I also really wanted to go to the Olympics…”

“Don’t worry, sister. I will definitely win my sister’s share and win the gold medal.”

I smiled bitterly and held Sooyoung’s hand, who felt sorry for her.

“Okay. It’s a promise. Are you sure you want to win a gold medal next year instead of me?”

“Huh. Promise. I will never disappoint my sister. Believe me.”

I hugged Sooyoung noona.
Sooyoung noona also looked up at me with sparkling eyes and came into my arms.
We didn’t say anything for a while and just looked into each other’s eyes.
Sooyoung noona flinched as if she wanted to kiss my lips right away.

“I can’t, sister. Let’s go up to our room. I will love you so much.”

He whispered into Sooyoung’s sister’s ear, and her sister shook her neck as if it tickled her and nodded her head.
I got up and took her swimming sister’s hand and went up to her room.
