My Girlfriend Wants Victory - Chapter 1

***

December 25th every year.

It’s the time when lovers go on dates and spend happy everyday life on Christmas.

I headed to the burial chamber in Seoul, listening to Christmas carols echoing through the streets.

It was to see my parents, who were buried here, and my childhood friend and fiancée, Gyul-woo.

After entering the memorial hall and greeting my parents first, I headed towards Gyul-woo.

[midwinter]

He slowly opened his mouth while looking at his fiancée’s photo, the K-League MVP award placed in a corner, and the transfer offer letter from Manchester United, his fiancée’s favorite team.

“Hello, Winter. I came alone this year. I should have asked Mom and Dad to come with me… I couldn’t bring myself to bring it up. I’m sorry.”

Until last year, I would have come with Winter’s mother and father. But after the argument in the mortuary last year, it was a little awkward to see them face to face.

The words my mother said at that time still ring in my ears.

‘Jin-ho, can you stop talking about Winter and start living your life? Get married and have kids like everyone else…?’

Honestly, I would be lying if I said I wasn’t persuaded by my mother’s words.

15 years have passed since Winter passed away in an unfortunate accident.

Whenever I saw my colleagues and juniors around me getting married, having children, and living happily, I would feel resentful that they had left me behind, and I would also think, as my mother said, if I could forget about Winter and start anew.

So I think that’s why I was even more angry, asking how I could say something like that to my mother.

After I was angry for a long time, my father came to me, calmed me down, and added something.

‘… Just as Gyul-woo is our daughter, Jin-ho, you are also our son. We hope that you will live happily, taking after Gyul-woo’s share.’

I stood there for a long time in silence, listening to my father’s words, and then left the mortuary without even saying goodbye.

Since then, I have contacted you often to check up on you, but I have not been able to meet you in person.

I didn’t have the courage to come see you.

It was only for a moment, but maybe it was because I felt guilty for thinking about myself living happily, forgetting about winter.

“Hey, it looks like Maenggu is going to have a hard time this season too….”

I spent a long time alone looking at a picture of my fiancée, who had passed away in an unfortunate car accident at the young age of 22, hoping that she would feel a little less lonely.

***

“Is it a white Christmas this year…?”

After saying goodbye to my parents and Gyul-woo, I went out onto the street. It was starting to snow on the street.

It was a time when I was walking down the street and watching couples engaging in affectionate acts.

Ding-!

A bell rings in my ear.

Let’s turn our heads.

A young child was seen dressed in a Santa costume and raising money with his parents.

‘If Gyul-woo had gotten married and had a child as planned, she would have had a child like me… .’

I was proud of the child who was raising money for the poor and needy despite his young age, so I took out all the money in my wallet and put it in the donation box. I had donated most of the money I had earned as a soccer player, but it was my first time donating to a donation box with my own hands, so I felt a strange feeling.

“Santa Claus grants wishes to children who are good at work! What is your wish?”

As I was putting money into the donation box, the child smiled brightly and spoke to me.

“…well.”

I tried to mumble my words in response to the child’s question, because I knew it was an impossible wish.

“Because you’re a good man! Santa Claus will grant your wish!”

The child looked at me with a smile on his face, as if he understood my feelings.

I smiled at the child’s seemingly comforting words.

“I wish that were true.”

And the moment I tried to pat the child’s head, my consciousness became hazy.

“Hahaha! This is Santa Claus’s gift to good children! Be happy!”

When I lost consciousness and regained consciousness to the sound of my grandfather’s kind voice in my ear.

I was back in the day when I was entering high school.

“Glory Glory Man U~”

And then, outside the room, a voice was heard that I thought I would never hear again.

***

“It’s a familiar tightness.”

I woke up to the sound of Manchester United cheering in my ears. I saw a poster of Zinedine Zidane on the ceiling.

Thinking about it, I remembered that during my school days, I wanted to become a player like Zinedine Zidane and put a poster of him on the ceiling.

‘…Is this a dream?’

I stared blankly at Zinedine Zidane’s hairstyle for a while. It was dazzling.

-Oh! You can’t put that in!

Then, I came to my senses at the sound of Gyul-woo’s voice in my ear and quickly got out of bed.

Now, there was no time for this.

If this was a dream, I had to see Gyul-woo’s face before I woke up.

I grabbed the doorknob, concentrating on Gyul-woo’s voice coming from outside.

And then I open the door and go out, barely calming my heart that is starting to beat like crazy.

“Huh? You woke up because of me?”

The cold-looking beauty looked at me with an apologetic expression.

It was a winter just like in my memories.

“… .”

I approached Han Gyul-woo, who was wearing a Manchester United jersey.

And just in case it was a dream, he hugged her very carefully so as not to wake her up.

“What, why are you like that all of a sudden?”

Winter’s flustered voice, warm body temperature, and her heartbeat reminded me that this was not a dream but reality.

‘It’s reality… It’s really winter.’

As I realized that this was reality, my nose started to sting and my vision started to get strangely blurry.

“What, Son Jin-ho, why are you crying!”

It was a situation I had always hoped for, but I just couldn’t stop crying.

“I just… like it.”

After 15 years, I was able to meet the precious person I had been longing for my whole life.

***

After I lost my parents when I was in elementary school, Gyul-woo, who lived next door, would come over to our house and sleep over during vacations and weekends.

He said it was because he was worried about me living alone. When he was young, he thought of it as a secret base, and now he thinks of it as a manggu pub.

Well, I’m not saying I don’t like it.

After losing his parents, he hated the silence and loneliness in his home, and was grateful to Gyul-woo for filling that void.

[Gooooooooo-! Bilyaretinov manages to score an equalizer just 3 minutes after conceding a goal!!]

Anyway, while I was up, I hugged Gyul-woo tightly and started watching a game of Manchester United that I wasn’t even interested in.

“… Hey, I’m hot. Can you let me go?”

Winter couldn’t concentrate on the game and wiggled his toes for a while.

‘Our Winter has cute toes too.’

Instead of releasing the hug when Winter said it was hot, I quietly turned on the air conditioner.

18 degrees. Even the power cooling was pressed.

In February, isn’t our house the only one in South Korea that has air conditioning on?

“Ugh… . Yes. Hug me, hug me. I am your dead wife.”

As the air conditioner started to turn on, Winter let out a deep sigh, snatched the air conditioner remote control from my hand, and immediately turned it off.

And he stuck out his lips and focused on the game. It’s one of Winter’s old habits to stick out his lips when concentrating on something.

‘February 20, 2010. Manchester United vs Everton.’

As I looked at Gyul-woo, memories of the past came flooding back. I told Gyul-woo the results of the game.

“Man U will probably lose.”

After losing this game and having a gloomy winter all day with Chelsea, it was easy to remember that United had lost the game.

“Ha. Even if he’s my boyfriend, I can’t stand him cursing Manchester United.”

At the sound of Maeng-gu’s declaration of defeat ringing in his ears, Gyul-woo glared at me as if he had been insulted.

“Want to bet?”

I looked at Gyul-woo who was glaring at me and smiled. Gyul-woo got angry at me like that.

“What bet?”

“How about granting me one wish?”

“… Are you trying to make a strange wish?”

“Shocked?”

“Ha… You traitorous bastard who doesn’t even know the limit. In the second half, Manchester United will destroy Everton, so get ready to grant their wish.”

In the meantime, the bet was made.

Halftime is over and the second half has begun.

Maybe it was because of the soccer experience I had accumulated in the previous rounds, but the flow of the game was clear to my eyes.

“Man U will be scoring a comeback goal soon, right?”

“Yeah, no.”

As soon as Winter was denied, Manchester United’s goal net shook.

[Gooooooo! Everton succeed in scoring the winning goal! Everton’s young star! Dan Gosling scores the winning goal!!]

“Oh, there’s still a lot of time left? And there’s also purge time!”

And then the net shook again. It was Everton’s second goal.

“… .”

Perhaps because he sensed defeat, Gyul-woo’s eyes began to turn moist.

Tsk tsk.

“…don’t pat my head.”

Even the harsh winter was cute.

***

That evening.

I couldn’t sleep and tossed and turned for a long time. Honestly, I still couldn’t believe that I had gone back to the past.

And personally, I also had some regrets.

They say that humans want to sit down when standing, and lie down when sitting.

Even though I thought that it would be better to take me back to before my parents passed away, I quietly offered a prayer of thanks when I heard Gyul-woo’s breathing in my ear.

“Winter, are you asleep?”

And then he carefully called out to Winter.

“…why.”

“I’m trying to use the wish I accumulated earlier.”

Late at night.

A house with only two people.

And a wish.

When these three are combined.

Winter was angry.

“You pervert. I told you not to make weird wishes!”

Startled, Winter gets up from his seat and starts hitting me with a pillow.

“No, I know what you’re thinking. That’s not it.”

“Then what is it!”

“My wish is to grant your wish.”

When I told her to make a wish, Gyul-woo hesitated for a while and then slowly made her wish.

“Then move to Manchester United and win the Champions League….”

I thought to myself, this is just one wish… .

“Propose to me with Big Ears.”

It didn’t matter.

Even though it was dark and you couldn’t see, I felt and thought that Winter was strangely shy while making a wish, and it was cute.

To be honest, when I join, it will be Man U of the Premier League, not Man U of the Premier League.

“Why wouldn’t I be able to? It would be hard to move to Manchester United, the best football club in the world, right?”

Well. Well. By then, I think Winter will be satisfied with winning the cup competition.

With that in mind, I coolly accepted Gyul-woo’s wish with one condition.

“Okay. But if I transfer to Manchester United, we can go and live together in England.”

“…ah?”

Didn’t you know I would accept your wish so easily? Gyul-woo’s flustered voice rang in my ears.

“Uh, ah, uh, ah, huh?”

I hugged the winter that seemed to be broken somewhere.

And after a long time, I was able to fall into a deep sleep feeling her warm body temperature.
