Chapter 229 – 229. Guest Commentary (4)

“Jiyeon-ah, good job.”

Hwang Ji-yeon was sitting on a chair in the cafeteria without thinking.
A man approached her very suddenly.

It was Kim Jeong-soo, who was his former bot duo and playing coach.

“Ah…”

To be honest, he was the person I most wanted to meet right now.
He was in a state of paranoia, resenting himself for missing the world championship he had hoped so much for due to his mistake.

Now, when she is at her weakest her, she did not want to show her current appearance her to the affectionate ties of the past.

“…What are you doing?”

That’s why she had to spit out a cold tone without realizing it.
She knew all too well.

Kim Jeong-soo, who participated in today’s guest commentary, just came to comfort himself and said that he had no ill feelings.
However, the feelings that had already been twisted once did not come back easily.

‘Why did you appear just now? Please don’t come any closer.’

Let’s get out of this place somehow.
Thinking so, Hwangbo Jiyeon tried to move her steps her.

Leaving without even saying hello properly would seem terribly rude, but it could have been a bigger mistake to have a long conversation in an insane state.

“See you at the next World Championship.”

But his next words made her stop.
It wasn’t common consolation, and it wasn’t gloomy words that made me feel down.

A farewell that is nothing more than an empty check to see you next time.
But that one word had so much meaning.

Hwangbo Jiyeon smiled as she lowered her head.

It’s still warm as if it’s indifferent.

“Can you come up?”

With her hands in the pockets of her jacket, she spun around and faced his face her.
A faint smile hung on her face her.

Kim Jeong-soo also nodded his head with a small smile on his face.

“Have you already been to the first division?”
“Maybe that member will stay the same, or they might do well next season.”
“Believe in the player is part of the role of a coach.”
“That’s right.”

Looking at his face for the first time in a while, I felt my emotions intensify little by little.
Just being together makes me feel so comfortable and comfortable.

She did not dare to take her step and leave this place.

‘After today, I’ll be lonely again.’

For success as a director, he abandoned friends and colleagues.
And what I got from doing that was the runner-up in the end.
Can we go back like the old days?

Hwangbo Jiyeon stretched out her hand in front of her and then lowered it sadly.

In fact, she had no reason to feel guilty if she judged.
She kicked her old teammates out of the handcrafting team, but it was the right thing to do to separate the ball from the life.

But that never made her feel at ease.

‘Anyway, that’s what I judged.’

If he had n’t stretched out her hand to her, he would have left her right away.

“What, didn’t you mean to shake hands?”
“…Right. It was meant to shake hands.”

She cautiously approached him and took her hand her.
It felt warm.
Yes, wouldn’t it be okay to be comforted by someone today?

“…It was so hard. Can you give me a hug?”

Was this dreamy atmosphere the problem, or was the problem her weakened heart her?
No, maybe there is no problem at all.

She looked up at him, speaking in an unusually soft voice.
He opened his arms wide without saying a word.

“Jiyeon-ah, good job.”
“Yes…”

It was the same words that he had spoken to her at first, but the feeling she felt was completely different.
She hugged him tightly and murmured.

“I had a really hard time… “

###

The psychic, who was holding his breath and watching everything from behind the wall, just wanted to sit down on the floor.

‘If I had known it would be like this, I would have gone out and talked to you… ‘

Even though he ate the important World Championship final, he didn’t want to lose even the fight for love.
When Kim Jung-soo left Mad Tiger Gaming, she finally thought that an opportunity had come for him, but her heart was not as easy to open as she thought.

‘I was going to confess when I won the World Championship…’

Any regrets are too late.

Psychic left quietly with a helpless expression on his face.
Whatever happened between the two of them after that, I didn’t really want to see it.

And after a while, Mad Tiger Gaming’s players and officials had a small dinner at the hotel.

Although he did not win the championship, he achieved a respectable record of being runner-up.
It was a pity, and it was a great achievement, so it was a small place to praise the achievements.

However, there was no person who could be called the main character at the dinner party.

“Uh? Didn’t Director Hwangbo come?”
“Yes. I guess it was a bit embarrassing. They say they’re going home first.”
“Ah… Then there is nothing you can do.”

Officials who attended the dinner silently nodded their heads and kept silent.
I was fully aware of director Hwangbo’s dedication so far.

Who can really blame the mistakes in the finals?
Even reaching the finals in the first place would have been difficult without her leadership of her.

“Director Hwangbo said that he would contact us later when he returned to Korea, and let him rest comfortably for now.”

General Manager Park Seong-pil said that and quietly raised his glass.
Others respect his judgment and say nothing.

However, Psychic, who was sitting quietly to one side, had a completely different idea.

‘Under… After all, Battle hyung said he was going to Korea first, so he must have followed him.’

Maybe it was because I had seen her embraced by Battle just a moment ago, but her cynical emotion surged up from the depths of my heart.

‘I thought my sister only had games … In the end, she was just a woman who depended on a man, even her older sister her.’

It was quite shocking to see her weakened face after only seeing her usual strong appearance of her.
She was even more so because she seemed like she would not be shaken even if the world collapsed.

‘It’s better to be a bad man than a good man. From now on, I don’t want to just play stupid games. I’m going to push them more aggressively and force them to meet.’

It was when he was sarcasm inwardly for a long time.
Suddenly the door to the room they were in opened and a woman appeared.

First, it was Hwang Ji-yeon who did not attend because she was going back to Korea.

“Five… Director Hwangbo! I thought you said you wouldn’t come today, but you’ve changed your mind, haven’t you?”

Director Park Seong-pil greeted her with a smile.

The rest of her staff her, naturally looking at her, also saw her as they entered her room her.

It was a slightly different atmosphere than usual.
It wasn’t a businesslike, stiff expression, but a much more casual outfit instead of the stuffy suit worn like a school uniform on a soft, relaxed face.

“Can I sit here?”

She said, pointing to the seat right next to the Psychic.
Psychick quickly nodded her head without realizing it.

“Oh, nobody. You may sit down.”

Until just before her, she was also a woman who couldn’t help it, or that she had a preference for bad boys, or that she didn’t think much of him as a star anymore.
Anyway, he did not return to Korea early with the battle coach and participated in the dinner party, so his guess he was wrong.

The psychic glanced sideways and glanced at her profile her.
As expected, she had a different vibe from common girls.

Her chic eyes her, as if she’s not interested in men, and the feeling that she won’t easily give her heart to anyone shakes her heart her.

“Director Hwangbo, you worked really hard on this World Championship. It was a pity that we finished runner-up, but we know that you and our players worked really hard, so don’t be too disappointed.”

Director Park Seong-pil opened his mouth in a soft voice and filled the glass in front of her.
She accepted her drink with a small nod of her head.
Soon after, she responded in a confident tone.

“There was obviously a mistake this time. But next year it will never happen.”

Director Park Seong-pil nodded his head with a happy face.
I was worried about what would happen if I was blaming myself for my carelessness as the cause of the failure to win the championship, but the image of coach Hwang Bo I knew was right.

‘It’s a win. I’ll do it next time.’

Perhaps the most important thing is an unbreakable heart.

Anyway, he grinned and picked up his glass her.

“Great! Shall we all have a toast then?”

The runner-up was obviously a big achievement.
You will be attacked a lot by Korean fans, but your popularity will increase even more.
In any case, among the three Korean teams that advanced to the World Championship, they were the only team to advance to the final, bringing great joy to fans who were pessimistic about winning.

In the end, it proved that there is still no team like Mad Tiger Gaming in the Korean first league.

‘Now I just need to prepare well for the next stove rig.’

Whether or not Wizard, who has reached an advanced age for a pro gamer, will retire, or whether Psychic, the star of the team, will be transferred.
Even if I go back to Korea, there are many things I need to pay attention to.

In fact, it could be said that his job was from now on when the World Championship was over.

But then.

“Ah… I’m going to have a little drink and go.”

Hwang Ji-yeon, who had just joined, made a shocking remark.
People with questionable faces.

She spoke to him in a light tone, as if it was nothing.

“I don’t know if you heard, but I decided to return home a little early. We are leaving early tomorrow morning.”
“Then I’m sorry, but I can’t help it.”

Park Seong-pil nodded his head and made an expression of understanding.
It was because he was grateful that even though he had a busy schedule, he stopped by and brightened up the place for a while.

But there were also men who had the exact opposite idea.

‘As expected, I’m going to meet him, right!!’

It was a psychic that glowed with jealous eyes.

###

After her brief encounter with her Hwangbo Jiyeon, I went back to Korea with her.

While waiting at the airport and boarding the plane, we talked about the old days, as well as what to do as a coach and coach, in our own way.

“It reminded me of the old days and it was fun.”

When she arrived in Korea, she said something sad in her tone.
I also had a lot of fun meeting old friends and selling memories, but now it was time to go back to being a rival.

“Forward… I’ll keep in touch.”
“Anytime. Even if I don’t, I’ll be your only friend, so you have to keep in touch.”
“… Do you really want to die?”

While joking around, I dragged my suitcase and moved out of the airport.
As we talked about Soon Do-soon Oh, we came to a large plaza before we knew it.

“I came all the way here, will you take me home?”

She has come up with her coy offer.
Pretending she wasn’t, she seems to wish she had accepted the offer.

Naturally, I tried to nod my head, but for some reason I felt a look on my face her, so I stopped my mouth for a moment.

‘Somehow, it feels like someone is staring…’

She paused answering her for a moment, and looked around, only to notice a group of women staring out from one side of her, giving her their gaze of her.

They were very familiar faces.

‘What… I feel like I’m committing a sin somehow… ‘

Emotions that cannot be expressed in words were pouring out of their eyes.
I smiled awkwardly and slightly pushed away Hwang Ji-yeon, who was clinging to me.
