Chapter 15 – 15. How to Sell Credit (3)

The time is while the players are changing their clothes for a while.

She needed help from stylists to take off her light uniform and put on a white dress.

“Now, Ryu Seo-yoon, come over here!”

The stylist called Ryu Seo-yoon to the dressing room where only women could enter.
Inside, the team members who entered first were changing their clothes for a while.

“I’ll put on a dress. Take it off, leaving only your underwear.”
“Ah… Can’t I wear it alone?”
“You seem very shy~ Don’t worry~ It will be over soon~”
“……”

Ryu Seo-yoon was always hesitating, not like a confident woman.
The other team members around me were already wearing all their dresses.

“Please take it off immediately!”

As she kept hesitating, she began to pretend she wasn’t a stylist.
When I put on the dress for this shooting concept, I needed a little help from others.
It’s about tightening the corset and zipping up the back zipper.

It’s a simple task that takes less than a minute.
From the standpoint of the stylist, it was just frustrating because he didn’t know Ryu Seo-yoon’s intentions.

‘It doesn’t look like you have a shy personality… ‘

Should I take her to a private room and have her change?

While the stylist was contemplating, Ryu Seo-yoon slowly began to take off her clothes.
It was the moment when all her other team members turned their backs on her, doing other things for her.

‘Ugh. I’m glad I didn’t have to bother.’

Concerned that her job might escalate, the stylist secretly let out a sigh of relief and went back behind her to Ryu Seo-yoon’s back, revealing her white jade-like skin.
Her hand was holding her dress.

“Oh!”

And finally, as Seoyoon Ryu came to her underwear, her bandages wrapped around her thighs and calves were revealed.
The stylist involuntarily let out a startled sound.
All eyes in her locker room were focused on her.

“Ah… I hurt my leg a little…”

She fidgeted with her bandage wrapped around her leg, making an awkward excuse.
Her stylist, who came to her senses, quickly covered her up and put her in a dress.

‘I was surprised… I never thought I’d wrap my entire leg in bandages. How did you get hurt and wrap the bandages around like that?’

She was the stylist who was more surprised than anyone else, but she was busy working her hands as if it were nothing special.
Not knowing that Ryu Seo-yoon is sighing deeply among the team members who are making her surprised expression…

“A suggestion, huh?”

Jihye Lee asked again.
I nodded.

“It’s a very simple thing. If you clear the mission I give you, I will give you money.”
“……”

Her expression, which had been cold even before, became even colder.

“Are you going to buy me with money?”
“Precisely, it must be buying your passion.”
“……”

She was silent for a while.
Then she got up from her seat with a visibly sneering laugh.

“You think it is very easy. How are you ignoring me… It doesn’t matter if the coach doesn’t give you money. Good luck.”

I said firmly.

“Sit down. I’m not done talking yet.”
“……”
“If you sit down, 100,000 won.”
“Under…”

Finally, she looked back at me with a contemptuous expression on her face.

“What are you doing disgusting? Even if you ignore me, how much will you ignore me…”
“One million won.”
“……”

Her expression hardened.
I called up once more.

“If you sit down now, 2 million won. It’s the first mission, so I hit it a lot.”
“…… Go away… Because it’s really disgusting.”

Hard…
The sound of grinding teeth was heard.

[I sold Lee Ji-hye. Increases her growth rate by 20%.]

[Lee Ji-hye’s obedience has been reduced by 5.]

[Acquired 2 selling points.]

She turned her body around and went to the other sofa.
I said to her back.

“Think carefully about whether self-esteem is important to you now.”
“……”

She had no answer.
Did you fail?

She crossed her arms in a sense of pity.
I regretted that I hadn’t rushed too quickly from the beginning.

It was right to make a very unconventional proposal.
2 million won is money that corresponds to a monthly salary for someone.

Perhaps if you posted on the Internet, “If you just sit on a chair, you can earn 2 million won,” People who want to do it will line up.
Even an elementary school student could tell that it was an unprofitable deal even without the Internet.

However, it would have been an unacceptable proposal to Lee Ji-hye, who does not lose her ugly eyes even though she lives in poverty.
Even the atmosphere of her openly trying to subdue her made her feel even more repulsive.

‘If I knock a few more times, it will open.’

I looked at Lee Ji-hye as she started filming, promising the next one.

###

Soon the sun was going down.
Filming has also come to an end.

“There will be one last group photo shoot!”

With Steph’s shout, the players gathered.
The images of the girls in white dresses against the pure white background were truly a painting, a representation of heaven.

“I love the picture! Take it!”

Flashes flashed continuously.

Director Jeong Pal-soo, who was next to him, exclaimed.

“My kids are really pretty.”

It’s not like it’s not, the appearance of the battle angels was awe-inspiring.
Just as there is a saying that if you see something that is too pretty, you want to destroy it. Seeing pure white angels made me want to break their wings myself.

“I want my children to walk only on flower paths. Haha.”

However, coach Jeong Pal-soo had a kind smile.
It was like a father’s laugh.

‘… I’m sure I’m not the only one who thinks that way, right?’

For a moment, I had doubts about my sexual orientation.
No. Obviously, director Jeong Pal-soo is very kind.
The thought of wanting to corrupt angels when you see them is a surprisingly normal category, right?

I heard that director Jeong Pal-soo has a young daughter-in-law.
Okay. A father might think so.

“Thank you for your effort!”

After I was comforting myself for a while, Baek Ha-yan’s bright greeting announced the end of the filming.
I greeted the returning players with a tired expression.

“Okay, everyone, let’s finish cleaning up and go eat. I haven’t been able to have dinner so far, but today let’s go eat something delicious.”

Knowing this, I made a reservation at the restaurant a little late.
Baek Ha-yan, who had a delightful smile, and Ryu Seo-yoon, whose octave had risen even higher, headed for the dressing room with joyful steps.

Even the passive Kang Yul could not hide his smile this time and his hand movements became faster.

After that, we had 5 entourage, coach Jung Pal-soo, me and 5 players. Everyone gathered and went into the restaurant.

Director Jeong Pal-soo and his entourage took another table, and the six of us sat at one table.
The players were laughing and having a good time.

Baek Ha-yeon, who is always the mood maker,
Ryu Seo-yoon, who wears at his teammates,
Han Yuna, who is uncooperative with the team,
Kang Yul-do, who hardly stepped forward.

Today, they seemed to be friendly with each other.

Except for one person, Lee Ji-hye.

“……”

Lee Ji-hye spent time nibbling on the food prepared on her table.
Even so, it seemed that the food that could be packaged was secretly wrapped and packed.

I finished her meal by spying on her once in a while.

“Ah~ the food was so delicious!”
“I liked that weird pasta.”
“Me too! It was the most delicious. But if you eat a lot, you will feel it.”
“At that time, you can eat something spicy.”
“That’s right!”

They were talking for a long time even after the meal was over.
They seemed to be pretty close except for me.

In that pleasant atmosphere, I pitched a new subject.

“I’m thinking of appointing a captain for our team. Any opinions?”
“Uh…”

Baek Ha-yan put a finger on her lips and fell into trouble.
In the meantime, Han Yuna threw it as if passing by.

“The captain is, of course, Kang Yul-sister.”
“Ah! Right!”

Subtly subtly, Ryu Seo-yoon, who was about to raise his hand his, lowered it as if it wasn’t him.
I looked at Kang Yul, pretending not to know Ryu Seo-yoon, who was making an embarrassing expression.

Our team’s top laner, Kang Yul.
She has tanned skin and a good physique, so when I first met her, I thought she was a very active woman.
However, contrary to expectations, he was a shy person who could not speak well and had a mild personality.

Her pro gamer nickname is Carrywoman.
It is a nickname built after Mad Tiger Gaming’s Carryman.

He is also 24 years old, the same age as me, and is in his 4th year as a pro gamer.
In her four years, she has moved between teams five times, but she has never had a convincing performance.

“Ah… I…?”
“Who else but you!”

She looked at Kang Yul who smiled awkwardly and said as if it was natural for her to be white.
The smile of Ryu Seo-yoon, who was sitting next to him, was bitter.

I smiled and nodded my head.

“I also vote for Kang Yul.”
“Nose, Coach.”

Embarrassed Kangyul.
But already 3 out of 6 of hers have named her.
The claim was nothing short of fixed.

“Wow~ Captain!”
Haha…”

She awkwardly scratched the back of her head and lowered her head.

“Okay, thank you.”

In fact, the meaning of captain in the pro team was not big.
There have been some teams that have captains do this or that, but since there is a front desk, a manager, and a coach, the captain only needs to come forward when conducting interviews or leading the team.

I don’t think timid Kang Yul will do well in her role.
Nonetheless, the reason why she insisted on recommending Kang Yul as her captain was because of her apparent affinity for her.

‘If Kang Yul retires, he’ll be fine as a coach.’

Kang Yul is definitely not a good pro.
But he was a very aggressive player.
I was going to trust the aggression that lay dormant inside her.

Awakening her aggression her will help her in her gamer life and beyond.

“But Coach~”

The moment I was looking at Kang Yul’s reaction for a while. White White looked at me and asked.

“Why did our team name change to Battle Angels~?”

It was a naive but scary question.
Ryu Seo-yoon added it.

“At least it’s obvious. The coach’s nickname is ‘Battle’. They are the angels of ‘Battle’.”

At the same time, Ryu Seo-yoon smiled strangely.
The other team members also nodded at her words her.
It seems that I somehow understood.

“Ah, so we are the coach’s angels?”

White White still asks with an innocent face.
This time, it was a question that seemed to pierce her lungs. She breaks out in a cold sweat.

I calmly quenched my thirst with the soda placed in front of me and answered.
His father’s face His came to mind.
You decided to embarrass me and kill me! I never thought I would get my revenge this way!

“It’s the president’s order.”
“Are you the president?”
“Uh. I guess because I have some recognition, it must have been the idea to promote it. The meaning of our team’s existence in the president’s opinion is still for publicity purposes.”
“……”

At my words, the atmosphere of the players sank.
The atmosphere did not improve, but I secretly let out a sigh of relief after escaping from the danger of being exposed.

“Then I have to show you.”

Ryu Seo-yoon broke the silence with a confident voice.

“Winning this competition proves that we are serious about the game.”
“Yes! Let’s do our best!”

White white energized her resolve.
But even though it was nice to see a pretty fighting figure, I knew it.
The fact that there are still more than half of our team members who do not have the passion for victory.

Glancing at the expressionless Lee Ji-hye, I drank the carbonic acid once again.

###

After paying with the corporate card, I led the players back to the van.
After the meal, the attendants who were waiting for us opened the car door without fail.

The players, who were in high spirits, got into the car without much resistance.

“I’ll smoke a cigarette and leave right away.”
“Yes. Take your time.”

Director Jeong Pal-soo said as he took a cigarette out of his pocket.
I nodded and headed for the passenger seat.

“Coach, hold on a second.”

Then a familiar voice stopped me.
I was waiting for this moment for her, pretending not to think of her, turned her body to her and looked at her.

“What’s going on?”
“Ah… That…”

Lee Ji-hye avoided my gaze.
Her lingering bite her and flicking of her lips her were not often scenes to be appreciated.
Her fingers wiggled her. Her feet kept her digging into the ground.

Unable to hide her anxious appearance her, she continued her words.

“I would like to hear more about the proposal you made earlier.”

Done.
I secretly cheered and said calmly.

“Did you decide to bend your pride?”
“……”

She was speechless
Yes, given her circumstances her, she did her best to protect her pride her.

Concerned that he would leave the team in a fit of anger, he hid his nervousness and took out his cell phone.
And I turned on my cell phone notepad and showed something.
As she read her text her, she raised her eyes and looked at me.

“… Is this what it is?”
“Right. This is the mission I give you. If you keep more than 50%, I’ll give you the next mission. But if you can’t keep…”

After interrupting her for a moment, I approached her.
Standing aloof, she slowly closed her eyes as my face came close to her ear.

“I must be punished.”
