Chapter 97 – 97. Childhood Friend (1)

After taking all the players to the dorm, I went outside to take Han Yuna.

Hanyu, who is still commuting instead of living in a dorm, was going to go in and sleep after sending me a ride in her taxi.

“I… Coach… ?”

While she was rummaging through her cell phone to catch a taxi, Han Yu-na spoke to her.

It was quite an unusual situation as it was the two of us who rarely talked.

I turned her head and glanced at her.

With a length of more than 170 cm, limbs that are thin enough to look like chopsticks.
Still, it would n’t be an exaggeration to say that her voluminous body was blessed.

To sum it up in a clichéd way, Han Yuna was the only woman with a model-like body and an idol-like appearance.

An appearance that attracts attention and envy wherever you go.
Her body and face her are so unrealistic that I’m not even jealous.

It was her her natural words her, but her ignoring her her until now and not selling her didn’t mean that she really wanted to abandon her.

Even though the players around her grow little by little through her selling her, which she hates so much, she creates a situation where only she is in place.
She thought that if she really wanted to be a pro gamer, she would bend her pride and speak to her first.

She is like Kang Yul who came to ask to raise herself.

However, Han Yuna’s situation seemed a little different from Kang Yul’s.
She did n’t seem impatient, as if succeeding as a pro gamer was n’t her goal her.

“Why?”

When I answered her question, she looked at me and went on with her words.

“Will you listen to me?”

It’s finally here.

She must have seen and felt a lot over the past few months as she has been on the outside of the team.
Although it may not have stimulated her greed as a professional gamer, it did seem to touch something in her.
It was her words that she, who had been avoiding me for so long, approached me first.

“Go into the counseling room.”

She made fun of White White, an empty room next to the practice room, and turned it into a counseling room.

Me and her went into a counseling room with a round table and sat down alone.

It was 3:00 in the morning, so I must have had a drink. It was the perfect atmosphere to talk about my heart.

“…I’m sorry. She wasn’t usually friendly… I only came to the coach when I needed it.”

So is it?
Hanyu I also approached her with her unexpected low profile and obedient attitude to her.

“I’ve been in serious trouble lately… Can you listen?”

In a way, it can be said that she was only aiming for this moment.
The moment Han Yuna clings to me first.

However, I didn’t expect that it wasn’t a concern related to pro gamers, but whatever.

‘Anyway, I just need to increase loyalty to me and make it easier to sell.’

Still, there was no need to tell the whole story.
Rather, it is necessary to go out with an attitude of kindness at this point.
To create a thorough hierarchical relationship.

“I know that. Looking for me only when you’re sad, honestly, it doesn’t feel good, right?”
“I’m sorry… The only person I can talk to is the coach… How can I make you feel better?”

‘If you obey me.’

I met her eyes again, hiding her inner thoughts of her this time.

She didn’t know her all of her life her, but I’m pretty sure few people looked at me as straight as I did.

She had an atmosphere that made her think that she was from a different world than normal people.

“Answer the questions I ask honestly.”
“I didn’t hide anything in particular… I know. Whatever you ask, I will answer honestly.”

After obtaining her confirmation of her, she listened closely to what followed, as she first confided in her own circumstances.

Her story of her, which she expected to be quite a long one, was exactly what she expected from the start.

“I was born in a rural village in Chungcheong Province.”

It was because it came from her birth her.

“I have moved now, but at that time there were not many people to play with in the countryside, so there was a boy I played with every day.”

I had a friend who was called a childhood friend.
As she spent her childhood without many places to play and no people, she became unable to get close to her childhood friend her anymore.
At least within the boundaries of being friends.

“I think I probably like him.”

Did counseling about troubles mean dating counseling?
I was also looking at the deep relationship with Han Yuna, so it wasn’t very pleasant.

“That child… She’s so obtuse, I don’t think I’ve noticed yet.”

Fortunately, the relationship between the two has not progressed from being friends at all.
Even if it was between lovers, it felt like the level of difficulty was a little lower for me, who was thinking of stealing it.

Han Yuna’s story continued.

“She was actually the reason she became an idol because of that. A very long time ago, he fell in love with an idol, and just as I was casted, I tried it once.”

The story that she had been offered an idol and tried it once hadn’t been for Han Yu-na’s words, she would have felt very unreliable.

‘The name of the idol group is… Was it Galactica?’

“Of course it didn’t go well. It’s a proposal that I accepted without even thinking about it… The company was insolvent, and I had no passion.”

Looking for it, it was a group that had not had any special activities since their debut and then disappeared without rumors.
No matter how pretty and star-rated she is, as soon as she debuts among so many idols, she cannot feed the company.

Eventually, the agency went bankrupt first.

And her destiny is to become a pro gamer.

“It may seem pathetic to the coach who won the world championship and is sincere in nurturing players. The reason she became a pro gamer was because of him.”

She became an idol and then a pro gamer because of her childhood friend who had no interest in her?
She couldn’t fathom how much she was sincere with him.

It was to the point where I wondered if there was any room for me to intervene if it was this kind of steamy love.

“But just in time, an offer from a pro gamer came in. As you know, from ‘Pink Angels’.”
“It’s a life I’ve lived only chasing after him.”
“…Right.”

Han Yuna smiled bitterly.

Whether it was a woman or a man, there was a case of giving away all of the liver and gall to the person in love.
Even if it is highly unlikely that it will happen.

Of course, there were also parts that I didn’t understand.
Han Yuna was a woman who couldn’t be easily overlooked on the outside.
She likes such a woman, she follows her, but she doesn’t go over?

She longed to see the face of his childhood friend her.

‘Isn’t this enough to have saved the country in my previous life?’

To say that, I’m more curious about my past life, where I’m aiming for the fifth while being loyal to four girls.

I pretended not to be interested, brought two cups and made coffee.
And he asked in a condescending tone.

“So, were you happy?”
“……”

Hanyu I didn’t answer for a while, then she shook her head.

“I regret it a little now. I should have done what I was really good at, what I liked, rather than following him. Then he would have become a more stable and attractive person than he is now…”
“…… Why does he hate you?”
“Actually, I haven’t even confessed yet. He wanted to succeed as a pro gamer and go to the team he was on, but… “

After saying that, Han Yuna secretly looked at me.

However, I promise to tell you everything honestly.
She spilled all of her sincerity despite her comments that could get on my nerves.

“I realized that it was impossible with my skills. Going up to the second division would have been possible if it had been someone other than me. In this state, you should worry about being released, let alone transferring to a team with your childhood friend.”
“Are you worried about being released?”
“… A little bit. But I’m even thinking that it would be better if they released it. Because… “

Hesitantly, Han Yuna closed her eyes tightly and finally revealed the name of her childhood friend whom she had followed so much.

“That’s because my childhood friend, Nam Do-yoon, is in the second division.”

From the summer season onwards, since we also play in the second division, we inevitably have to fight with our childhood friends.

I asked.

“Where is the team?”
“I’m Donggwang Anaki.”

Dongkwang Anarchy, aka DKA, was a team that stayed in 4th place last season.

“What is your nickname?”
“…I’m the jungler, Solar.”

Solar, the complete opposite of Yuna Han’s nickname, Luna.

“The name Solar is also a nickname I gave.”

Perhaps, a duo of Sola, Luna’s Jungle, and Mid could have been born.
If Yuna Han was good at the game.

At this point, I was able to notice her troubles that Hanyu was going through.

“You don’t want to fight with your childhood friend?”
“……”

She was Han Yuna, who neither denied nor affirmed, but it can be seen that she was actually meant to be positive.

I let out a small sigh.

“I ate it.”
“……Yes?”
“You said you had lost your mind.”

While Han Yuna stared blankly at me, I continued her words of her.

“You said it earlier. I won’t follow you, but if you do what you are good at and what you like, you will become a more attractive person.”
“……It was.”
“You still hate fighting with your childhood friend? Rather, it is a good thing. If you defeat him with your skills, I might see you again.”
“……”

I don’t like it from my point of view that Nam Do-yoon sees Han Yuna again, but for now, I advise that.

“You hate that again?”

However, Hanyu didn’t seem to like her advice her very much.
Well, that might not be the best case scenario for her.

“…Because I know how hard he’s trying. He wants to become a pro gamer and is working hard… To destroy it with my own hands…”
“…Okay?”

I thought I could understand why Han Yuna came to me for counseling.
She couldn’t and couldn’t do her best of her.

From my point of view as a coach, it felt like a very selfish idea, but from the point of view of her who became a pro gamer after only looking at that one man, there was nothing she could do about it.

Even so, it was commendable that he believed in me and told me everything.

I said to her looking at her her tears her welling up her imperceptibly.

“But after hearing what you said, I’m a little puzzled.”
“Which part?”
“I don’t think Nam Do-yoon is interested in you at all. What is the reason?”
“…I don’t know, but maybe it’s because we’ve been friends for so long? In fact, I am very curious as to why.”

A longing roared in the depths of his heart.
Maybe I could make her her her her mine her.
The thought that she might experience deep regret for an idiot who does n’t yet know her worth her.

“Then, how about trying this?”
“Is there a way?”
“Yes. It’s rather a matter of whether you’re prepared for that much.”
“Anyway! I can do anything.”

‘Anything.’

It was a very nice word, but it was regrettable that it omitted ‘if it was for a childhood friend’ in front of it.
However, since it was said that the beginning was halfway over, it could be said that it has passed half of it.

“It’s a very simple thing. So in the end, you want to go to DKA where Nam Do-yoon is.”
“…That is… I’ve heard a lot from our players, but… “
“Yeah, I know. But the reason you became an idol and a pro gamer is because of Nam Doyoon. It must be unavoidable.”
“…Right.”
“But with your skills right now, it’s absolutely impossible. Know?”
“Yes.”
“So the answer is very simple.”

After drinking coffee for a while and quenching my thirst, I brought her up.

“All you have to do is develop your skills and transfer. I can help with that.”
“…Really? But when that happens, I feel so sorry for my teammates… “
“Don’t worry about it until then. Then if I tell you to stay, will you stay?”
“……”

Han Yuna blushed and avoided her gaze at her.

“There are conditions instead, so there is no need to feel guilty.”
“Conditions?”
“Okay.”

I told her what I had told her players so many times before.

“You obey my word. Then I will help you get to him.”

Hanyuna swallowed her saliva.
It looks like he’s heard whispers from the devil.

However, even if the end is decided with a bad ending, she will not be able to refuse it.
Her obsession of her, if at all possible, she had no intention of stopping.

“…All right.”

I felt like I finally got a clue to the strategy of Hanyuna.
