“Hey, I’m going to smoke some cigarettes with my brothers, so I’m talking to Younghwan.”

“yes.”

Gigi-ju, the more I see of that person, the more amazing he becomes. How come you only smoke when you drink? According to smokers, it is more difficult to smoke in moderation like that.

“But senior, don’t you smoke?”

“me? I hung up. Is it 19 years? “After getting injured, I felt like I needed to take better care of myself.”

As expected, this person takes care of himself. Go Young-hwan was also great. Quitting smoking completely.

“Hey, but you’re SY too, right? “How’s it going there?”

“yes? SY? SY Agency?”

“huh. If you look at the seniors who went to the majors, they were all there. The same goes for Jincheol and JooTae. You all got treated well and went to the majors. As for my agency contract, last year’s salary negotiation was also the last one. “I’m trying to find out something new. How is it?”

“SY is good.”

I’m not saying this because it’s run by Soyoung, but SY Agency was really good. We have a personal training space, and we received a lot of equipment sponsorship as soon as the WBC ended. They said it was a contract of a size that was worth the wait, but it was nice to be able to use good equipment.

In addition, they say that they sometimes ask for advertisements, but I heard that Soyoung refuses all of them. It’s still time to focus on baseball or something. I had a house and a car, so it didn’t matter because I wasn’t particularly in need of money.

“First of all, I have a place where I can practice in the off-season, and I like the lawyer. “They almost treat us like family.”

“okay? Is that it? There was a reason why all my brothers went there. I also received an offer when I debuted, but I turned it down. “If I had known it would turn out this well, I would have gone with it.”

“It would be nice to come.”

If this happens, Soyoung will be happy too, right? … Well, I would rather win the game than something like this.

As I was chatting with Go Young-hwan about the agency, a group of men approached the seniors who were smoking cigarettes.

“Oh, I guess they are fans. Since it’s definitely a local area, you’ll often see fans while eating like this. Still, it would be a bit annoying if I came here to eat like that.”

If it had been female fans, they would have immediately rushed over to sign autographs, but there was no need to bother, so I stayed where I was.

“Well, it would be nice if the fans came… .”

However, there was something about Go Young-Hwan’s answer that made me feel a bit uncomfortable.

“yes? Then what… .”

When I asked Ko Young-hwan a question because I wanted to hear more, catcher Park Jung-hyun called out to me.

“Hoya. “Come to work.”

As I approached Park Jung-hyeon’s call, the men’s stick was bigger than I expected. Does it feel like I worked out professionally?

“Oh, is this Ji Maeng-ho? nice to meet.”

Plus, it was a bit thick. what?

“Who are you, speaking informally?”

“I’m your senior too, dude. “It was my 14th draft day.”

“Oh, a professional baseball player? Are you Hyeonseong and Seonsun? Or group 2? “I don’t really watch Korean baseball.”

what. I guess he was a real baseball player? But is Hyeonseong’s 2nd team stadium located in Daegu?

“Aida. “I am already retired.”

… ? what? Then you’re not even a professional baseball player.

“Hoya. His name is Kang Ho-cheol, and he is a junior who retired after playing for one year. Well, I’m running a bar now. Cheol-ah. “I have your business card, kid?”

“Oh, here is my business card.”

“Ah yes. what.”

Kang Ho-cheol handed me a business card. The name of the bar and Kang Ho-cheol’s name were engraved on it.

“Ham, come visit. “Heeya will take good care of you.”

“Well, I understand. I’m sorry, but speaking informally in a first meeting is a bit odd. “He is neither a high school senior nor a club senior.”

“That one?”

“Hey, hey. it’s okay. it’s okay. Cheol, he’s always like this. However, when you become friends with them, they are polite and polite. And you also came and spoke informally to a boy you were seeing for the first time?”

“sorry. Seniors.”

“But since Junghyun senior introduced me to you, I’ll just take your business card.”

Well, since he’s so nice to me, it would be beneficial to get a drink from him.

“Okay then, senior. “We’ll go first.”

“Ah, senior Sangju. Aren’t you going to the second round? “We will treat you right at our store.”

“it’s okay. It’s Meng Hao. let’s go.”

“yes.”

“Okay, go in. “We’ll talk for a bit and then I’ll leave.”

Ki Ki-joo and I took our steps, but other Hyeon-seong seniors were still talking about whether they were thinking of having a second round at Kang Ho-cheol’s store.

“Senior, do you know that bastard? “This is the first time I’ve seen you speak so irritatingly.”

“I don’t know who I am either. “I’m just saying it’s okay because Junghyun introduced me to it.”

“is it so? uh? Are you going too, Younghwan?”

“Where are you going? “I’m going home.”

“Ah, Younghwan. Did you drive the car? “Are you a surrogate father?”

“yes.”

“Then just give me a ride to my dorm.”

“Well, that much is possible. That’s the hotel, right? “AT always uses it as accommodation.”

“huh.”

“It’s the direction we’re going anyway, so whatever.”

“My brother will pay the proxy fee.”

“Hey, a guest came to visit, so of course the landlord has to entertain him. “Instead, are you going to play with me when I go to Seoul?”

“Well, I saw it.”

hmm… . It seems like it’s common to hang out with players from other teams like this. Well, there’s no need to point me out among co-workers.

So the three of us started walking to the place where Go Young-hwan’s car was parked.

“Ah, senior Ki Ki-ju. “Senior Younghwan also said he was thinking about coming to SY.”

“Oh really? SY I like it. come.”

“Meng Hao is like that, and so is your brother. “Since you say everything is good, I actually have doubts.”

“What a bastard. “I say it’s good because it’s good.”

“is it?”

“Hey, but why didn’t you follow your brothers?”

“hmm… .”

Go Young-hwan seemed a little troubled about answering. Then he opened his mouth as if he had decided on something.

“Did you see that bastard earlier? “That bastard is a gangster.”

“yes? Are you a gangster? But I heard he was a baseball player, that’s right.”

“Well, I went there because I was having trouble playing baseball.”

Come to think of it, one of my high school seniors also went to the world of darkness… . If I think about it, I did say something like that when I threatened Hyuna.

“Meng Hao, you also have the business card he gave you, right? “If possible, don’t go to that store.”

“Do you like that?”

“Nothing good will come of being friendly with those bastards. Ha, what the fuck… . no. “You don’t need to know.”

hmm… . Well, there’s no way it’s normal for someone to criticize someone for the first time.

Anyway, after saying that, Go Young-hwan didn’t open his mouth until he took us to the hotel.

“Hey, tomorrow. Oh, is it today? Let’s watch episode 9 today. I also wanted to compete in a game once. Honestly, if it works for you, wouldn’t it work for me in the majors too?”

“Oh, since Senior Younghwan says that, I feel a little more confident.”

“Honestly, in the national team, there were no other hitters who could communicate properly other than you.”

“Hey, I am.”

“Ah, Sangju hyung is an old man now.”

“what?”

“Knight. Please go quickly!”

Still, by the time he dropped us off, Go Young-hwan must have gathered his thoughts and made a joke and went home.

“young. “You seem to be worried a lot.”

What do you know? The head of the meteorologist seemed to be itching.

“Senior Sangju, do you know anything?”

When I looked at the big data that was attached throughout the WBC period, I asked the question because it became bothersome if I didn’t ask at times like this.

“I heard that local clubs have something like this.”

“What is this?”

“No, whatever. They said it was related to gangsters. This doesn’t happen often for clubs in the metropolitan area because they have a lot of places to play, but I heard that in regional areas, there are limited places to play, so there are a lot of things that get involved. I don’t know much about it either. Plus, the only downtown in Daegu is Dongseong-ro… .”

This seems like a long story again.

“Oh yeah?”

I quickly cut off the weather warning. Honestly, I wasn’t that curious and it had nothing to do with me.

“That’s right. What do you do when kids who have been playing baseball since elementary school don’t do well and retire? I haven’t learned anything, and all I have is my body. The kids who go to independent leagues are idiots. Well, if you’ve made it to the first team a few times, you can coach or open a baseball center, but for those who haven’t, there’s nothing to do. Still, the kids who played in Seoul are noble players. There are a lot of students in Seoul. Even the juniors I know… .”

Fuck, I asked for no reason. Maybe it was because this guy had been drinking, but his mouth started to run like it was running on a motor.

“Hey, hey! Where! bastard! Did you ask and then suddenly leave? hey?! hey!”

Unable to handle it any longer, I quickly headed to my dorm.

“bastard! “You have to listen to everything!”

‘ah… . But I would like to work with Go Young-Hwan once. Mr. Rossby, can you try practicing with a pitcher you haven’t played against?’

‘No, I think you or I will have to deal with him. If it was just based on what I saw, other pitchers would have been able to practice as well.’

‘I guess that’s true, isn’t it?’

‘But that bastard keeps screaming. Are you going to be okay?’

‘Tsk. But if you listen, Mr. Rossby knows that there is no limit.’

‘Of course.’

After saying that, Rossby quickly disappeared somewhere. And I thought I knew why Rossby was disappearing. Accommodation for the expedition is a hotel. For Rossby, a voyeur, the hotel was like heaven.

‘Ha, I’m fucking jealous. ‘Have I become invisible and can’t walk around?’

The more I thought about it, the more envious I became.

under… . It would have been better if I had been transparent instead of practicing with the pitcher or sharing experiences… .

Thinking about Rossby enjoying the sights alone, I felt something was unreasonable.

‘So I can’t have sex for 3 days every time I go away?’

Of course, I remember holding back longer, but at the time, I had no choice because I was living in a training camp, and I didn’t want to hold back even though I could.

‘XXXX CEO Kang Ho-cheol… .’

At that time, the business card Kang Ho-cheol gave me caught my eye. I was a little reluctant because he was a gangster, but I was attracted to him because he was good at it. Because it was clear that being nice to him didn’t mean playing with him.

‘Tsk, I’ll have to contact you later when I’m really hungry. Well, I’m not that attracted to it right now.’

I was planning on going into my room and continuing to watch Go Young-hwan’s pitching video.

But I didn’t know it at the time. I didn’t have to deal with Go Young-hwan during this series.
