Chapter 122 – 122. I Liked It First (1)

Finally, there was a group scene where players from all teams gathered.

As soon as we returned to the filming set after killing time very well, we looked into each other’s eyes and exchanged secret signs.

Nod nod

Kang Yul quietly disappeared from his seat.
Soon after, we arrived at the waiting room and briefly exchanged greetings with the players of the other team who were waiting.

“Oh, hello… !”
“Yes…”
“You are so beautiful… !”
“Go, thank you… “

“I am watching the game. I am a fan!”
“Are you a fan? Ah… Thank you… “

Awkward conversations can be heard from here and there.
Just being next to her made the awkwardness contagious.

And soon, Kang Yul appeared in the waiting room with something we had prepared.

It was just a cake.

“Happy birthday~”

Kang Yul approaches while singing in a low voice.
When people’s eyes were all focused on him, his face was blushing with shame, but as planned, he even left a candle signifying his 22 years old his.

And as I said before, our players also started singing along.

“Happy birthday~”

The other players who realized the situation only then laughed and clapped.

Meanwhile, realizing that the object of her congratulations her is herself, she, Han Yuna, rises from her seat with a surprised face on her face.

“Uh, sister… !”
“Blow it off.”
Hehe…”

Han Yuna blows out the candle with a shy smile.
The sound of applause that seems to leave the hall continues.

“Ka, are you taking pictures too?”
“Ah. Yes. It is a camera that takes behind-the-scenes cuts.”

At the same time, a camera creeps in between us.

A smile hung on the face of the director behind him, as if asking why this was rice cake.
Of course, there is no video as appropriate as a birthday party on the day of filming to go into the behind-the-scenes cut.

Besides, the target players are the players of the hottest Battle Angels these days?

Even holding a camera will make you smile.

To be honest, I even made plans to have a birthday party at the filming set, aiming for this.
It was nice to congratulate each other, but it’s better to be exposed on video.

Even if she is not, she is Han Yuna, who reminds her of the joy of communicating with her fans while entrusting the management of SNS.

Thanks to her, she seems to have thoroughly tasted the Internet’s reaction lately.
Perhaps the current behind-the-scenes video shoot will naturally improve your mood as you think about the interest that will pour in in the future.

“Ah~ what! If you have something like this, tell me in advance!”

As expected, Hanyu I held her cheeks and was at a loss for what to do with her joy.
Even so, she seems to do everything she can, such as accepting the cake and smiling consciously of the camera.

‘This should have been enough.’

Judging from Han Yuna’s reaction, she seemed to be okay with the next stage of selling.

I watched my favorite players and made a plan step by step in my head.

###

The behind-the-scenes cut wasn’t just filming a Battle Angels player’s birthday party.

In fact, the camera filming the birthday party was set aside to film only the Battle Angels players due to some kind of instruction.

Because of this, there was one more camera on set to shoot behind the scenes.

“It’s a mess. Uproar.”
“Oh yeah… Do you get that much attention just because you were born as a woman? The real world turns strangely.”

Boys who cross their legs while complaining.

They were Nami Marines’ top laners, OOil (Oil) and DDiyong, respectively.

They didn’t even know that a camera was filming them, and they were exchanging secret stories.

“It’s a government official to be born with that.”
“Uhh~ If you put it that way, the Supreme Court judges on the Internet are fucking… “!”
“Honestly, it is. What’s so great about being in the 2nd division… It just attracts attention because women come up.”
“It’s an inconvenient truth.”

After talking for a while, at one point, the cameraman who was filming them met eyes.
The two players smile awkwardly.

“Ah… Were you filming?”
“You’re not going to be broadcasting, are you?”

The cameraman, who had a daughter, was worried about what to do with these children, who were still bleeding from the top of their heads.

Regardless of whether what they said was true or not, the standard was too high to go on the air.
Then, should I just admonish and leave with the heart of a father?

But soon an idea flashed into his mind.

“What… Facts are facts.”

Players whose faces light up slightly at the sympathy of the cameraman.
The cameraman then said with a subtle smile.

“That’s too high-level to be broadcasted, so should we just choose the words well and shoot it again?”
“Yes? What did you say earlier?”
“Yes. I didn’t mean to be honest.”

Did he gain courage from that encouragement?
Or is it because I was caught talking behind my back his?

In the end, the players nodded and went into filming once again with similar lines.
Only then did the satisfied cameraman nod.

“Good. I’m sure the fans’ reaction will be okay.”
“Ah… I guess so? Because I was just telling the truth.”
“Sure. Besides, this much trash talk is all about it.”

The players, relieved by the cameraman’s confident words, nodded.

Without knowing that the broadcasting station guys have a crueler heart than I thought.

###

After a simple birthday party, before taking a group photo.

I approached Hanyuna and talked to her.

“See over there?”
“Yes? Where?”

Compared to the past, Han Yuna’s attitude towards me was completely different.
In the past, the cold war system where we didn’t talk to each other was maintained, but recently we had close conversations about childhood friends, and as we hung around a lot in the name of improving our skills, we naturally became close.

I put my hand on her shoulder and gave her another glance.

“There is a person in a wheelchair.”
“Ah…”

Hanyu I looked at the person I pointed to and nodded her head.

As I said, on one side of the set there was a boy sitting in a wheelchair looking at his phone.
It was Endeavor, the leader of the Dragon Knights, with a confident expression on his tight hair.

The only disabled professional gamer in Korea.
She is said to be paraplegic and unable to move, she says.

You’ve probably heard of Han Yuna.

“He’s the mid laner of our next opponent, the Dragon Knights.”
“……”

Her face her darkens a bit.

Endeavor seems to have been recruited for noise marketing, just like the purpose of the establishment of Battle Angels.
The first disabled professional gamer in Korea.

Due to the nature of the game team that lives off of fan culture, it is true that there is merit in recruiting them because they have to be interested in social contribution activities.
But in reality, that wasn’t necessarily the case.

The true leader and ace of the Dragon Knights.
As Endeavor’s current position, it meant that he was not a player who was only looking at noise marketing.

In fact, the Dragon Knights finished in first place last season through Endeavor’s stable play.
Although he was in a position to return to the second division after dropping out during the first division promotion match, no one can deny the fact that he is still in the first place in the second division.

“… Can I get over it?”

Han Yuna said as if she was worried.
I laughed at her and scolded her.

“Of course I can’t. With your buggy potential.”
“……”
“What did you expect?”

Hanyu-na, who was in a great mood today, turns into her grumpy face and looks at me.

[I sold Han Yuna. Growth rate increases by 10%.]

[You have acquired 1 selling point.]

Light growth rate.
So, after taking care of the growth rate, I will continue to speak.

“But I can do it if I help.”
“Wow, what kind of confidence is that?”
“Didn’t you feel enough?”

I slowly moved my hand around her shoulder her and stroked her back her.
Shocked, she looked at me.

Of course, it wouldn’t be a problem because it was a game of hands after looking around in advance.
No, I was intentionally trying to show it to just one person.

I continued talking and turned around her.

“If we continue to be active in our team, we will be able to steadily improve our skills and receive more attention from our fans.”
“Yes…”
“I can’t jump over Endeavor right now. But the second round will definitely be different.”

He patted her on the back one last time and let go of her hand her.
Hanyu I understood the meaning of her words and bowed her head.

Perhaps she feels it too.
That her choice her of her own life her was not far away.

Not only did Neto join our team, but the start of the second division was just around the corner.
You must not have the mindset that you will leave later when you feel like it, even for the sake of your fellow Battle Angels.

If you go out, you go out, if you stay, you stay. It was the manner of a player to tell me clearly.

“I’ll think about it… “

Han Yuna nodded her head with her serious face.

###

Donggwang Anaki’s jungler, Nam Do-yoon, who goes by the nickname Solar, looked for his childhood friend Han Yuna as soon as he arrived at the filming set for the title video.

‘We’re finally meeting each other.’

There were many opportunities to meet after the spring season, but he had rejected it with his own hand.

The intention was to stand proudly in front of her after becoming a better person.

And, unfortunately, he has not yet become a man to the extent of being satisfied with himself.
This is because the competition did not start and there was no opportunity to prove it.

‘…Today I have to give you a small present.’

He looked at the teddy bear he was holding in one hand.
He was such a small guy now, but after he went up to the ACK Challenger League and won the championship, he would proudly present a teddy bear the size of a person.

If that happens, it will become a meaningful gift in its own way, and she will be quite happy with it.

Nam Do-yoon looked at Han Yuna while imagining that.

When she entered the waiting room, she was beautiful enough to light up her surroundings.
All of the Battle Angels players were pretty, but his ideal type was Han Yuna.

Volume in certain parts of the body that is so slim that only the bones are visible.
A beauty with a style you wouldn’t even dare to look at if it weren’t for your childhood friend.

“Yes?”

But before he could approach her and talk to her.
Suddenly, someone with a cake appeared at the entrance of the waiting room.

“Happy birthday~”

Yes. Today was her childhood friend’s birthday her.

‘Ah… I just wanted to congratulate you… ‘

In the end, Nam Do-yoon had no choice but to return to his seat her, licking his lips again.
He didn’t have the courage to talk to Han Yuna, who was playing the role of the main character, when he suddenly intervened in the scene where he was holding a birthday celebration party as the main character of the Battle Angels players along with the behind-the-scenes camera that was being filmed for a long time.

‘…Because there is still time left. I can give it to you later.’

He thought so and waited for a long time.
And finally, the mood has calmed down a bit and the time has come just before we start filming the group scene.

‘Is it now?’

Nam Do-yoon jumps up from his seat and tries to approach Han Yuna.
But he had no choice but to stop his steps this time.

A man who knew her face her to some extent, the battle coach, started a conversation with Hanyuna.

‘Will it end soon?’

However, contrary to his wishes, the conversation went on for quite a long time.
Besides, the battle coach casually puts his hand on his childhood friend’s shoulder his and even strokes his back.

‘Uh… ? Can players and coaches do that?’

Suddenly, I remembered a picture she had sent me before.
She showed me a picture of the two of us close together, a selfie with the coach.

‘… Couldn’t be… ‘

Even after the battle coach disappeared, Nam Do-yoon couldn’t easily approach Han Yuna just in case.

Then, just in time, she met Yuna Han’s gaze at her, who turned her head.

“!!!”

Two men and women exchanging surprised glances with each other.
However, Hanyuna did not come to him or speak to her.
He only shook her hand once and then fell into deep thought.

Shocked, Nam Do-yoon looked at the teddy bear he was holding in his hand after he unknowingly left the place.

‘Ah… What the hell did I want to do?’

Nam Do-yoon trembles while holding the teddy bear tightly.
Someone spoke to him.

“Oh, hello.”

When I looked up, there was a familiar figure I had seen many times before.
It was White, a supporter of the Battle Angels.

In a fit of anger, Nam Do-yoon held out the teddy bear she was holding.

“Eh… “
“This…Could you pass it on to Yuna?”
“Ah… I know.”

In the end, he couldn’t even deliver his birthday present and disappeared as if he ran into the bathroom.
Only Baek Ha-yan, who was left with the teddy bear, had a puzzled look on his face.
