My Girlfriend Wants Victory - Chapter 5

***

We crushed Hanyang High School with a score of 8 to 1. We could have crushed our opponent by a double-digit score, but Coach Choi Ki-hyun, who was friendly with the Hanyang High School coach, took me out as soon as the first half ended.

“Director Choi, I’m sorry to ask you this.”

“Oh no, sir.”

“I’m sorry to Jin-ho Son, too. And I’m sure there will be good news soon.”

“Ah… yes. Thank you.”

Good news? What’s that?

While I was nodding with a trembling expression, Director Hanyang High School and Director Choi Ki-hyun disappeared while chatting away.

Well… . Anyway. This was a natural thing at the time. There’s a reason why they say the soccer field is small. The Korean soccer field is an incredible place where you can become acquainted with everyone just by crossing one or two bridges.

And because of this, there were frequent instances of the directors intentionally causing defeats due to their own personal circumstances.

In fact, this year is the year that some youth teams under the K-League were caught by the association for match-fixing and were punished.

“Jin-ho─!”

Anyway, as soon as Director Hanyang and Director Choi Ki-hyun left, my mother-in-law and father-in-law came to me. Both my mother-in-law and father-in-law were extremely excited. It seems that they were deeply impressed by my performance.

“Well done, very well done! I thought I was watching Lampard, you punk!”

‘Less Blue Heart Lampard?’

I tilted my head at my mother-in-law’s words and then nodded.

‘Ah. So you haven’t transferred to Manchester City yet.’

By the way, my mother-in-law was a Chelsea fan. It would have been fun if my father-in-law was a Tottenham fan. Unfortunately, my father-in-law liked baseball more than soccer. He said he liked the Busan baseball team, which he was born in Seoul but had no ties to. Hmm… It’s just a shame. Until the moment I returned to the past, I had never heard the news that the team had won.

Perhaps, on the day that team wins the Korean Series, the three major public broadcasters will air a special broadcast, and it will not appear even if you want to know about it.

“Ugh… I wonder when our son-in-law will be selected for the national team. It looks like he’ll be wearing the Taegeuk mark soon.”

Well. Just because he likes baseball doesn’t mean he hates soccer. He just doesn’t watch overseas soccer or the K-League, but he’s an enthusiastic FC Korea fan who always watches and cheers for the Korean national team.

‘By the way, Winter doesn’t support Chelsea because she follows her mom. She supports Manchester United. Is this what it means to be a filial daughter with the fire attribute?’

Both Chelsea and Manchester United are expected to evolve into prestigious clubs that compete for 1st and 2nd place in the league.

The mother and daughter’s foresight was so admirable that it made me exclaim in admiration.

“Student Son Jin-ho, you did an amazing job! If you keep this up, won’t you join Arsenal, a prestigious club that even the British royal family supports?”

While Winter was talking to her parents, Chairman Hwang Geum-sun came over and offered words of encouragement. Come to think of it, the chairman was an Arsenal fan. Even the first-year students knew that there was an Arsenal poster hanging in the chairman’s office when the team won the undefeated championship.

‘Winning is temporary, but fourth place is forever… .’

While I was thinking about Arsene Wenger, the current manager of Arsenal, my mother-in-law started a staring contest with the chairman.

Was it because she was told to go to Arsenal? Lasers shot out of my mother-in-law’s eyes. Hmm… why? Chelsea and Arsenal are rivals, but they don’t hate each other that much.

“Huh… Oppa? What are you talking about? Our Jin-ho is going to Chelsea?”

Yeah. Brother?

I looked back and forth between Chairman Hwang Geum-sun and Ms. Hwang Mi-yeon with a puzzled expression.

Now that I think about it, they look strangely similar.

Uh… This is something I didn’t know even in my past life.

My brain was in overdrive.

I thought the chairman just took good care of me because I was his father and a senior and junior from my hometown. But I didn’t know there was a story like this behind the scenes.

‘Well, it’s strange that he became my guardian and cared for me to the point of being excessive, even though we were just my senior and junior from my hometown…’

I looked at my father-in-law with eyes that expected a specific explanation, but seeing his appearance, I could only make a pitiful expression.

“Ha. Little brother. How can you possibly send Jin-ho to a club like Chelsea, which has no foundation?”

“Yes, no problem for the next five years.”

“Hey brother-in-law, what do you think? I think Jin-ho should come to Arsenal after all.”

“Honey, of course it’s Chelsea, right?”

“… Haha, aren’t both teams great?”

The craftsman sat restlessly between the chairman and his mother-in-law, as if he were sitting on a bed of thorns.

‘Ah… Father.’

I looked at that master craftsman and quietly wiped away my tears.

I now realize why my father-in-law, who was known for loving sports, had no interest in overseas soccer. It was all for the sake of family peace.

‘My daughter is Maeng-gu, my wife is Cheol-gang-tak, and my brother-in-law is Gwak-sa?’

Is this a family? It would be nice if they didn’t fight and grab each other by the collar on Christmas. If the father-in-law had only supported Liverpool, it would have been perfect.

‘By the way, how come all the teams I root for… .’

I clicked my tongue in regret as I thought about their future.

Then, suddenly, an uncomfortable truth occurred to me.

‘Hmm… Wait. Then, your mother-in-law and your father must have been from the same hometown. Why didn’t you tell me… No way… My mother-in-law is my father’s ex-wife… Hmm.’

My head started to get dizzy from the dog pedigree.

***

Fortunately, it wasn’t a shocking, soap opera-level development where it turned out that Gyul-woo was our father’s daughter.

It is said that the mother-in-law and CEO Hwang Geum-sun are half-siblings.

When I was young, my mother and I didn’t get along well, so we rarely talked to each other. It was only after I became an adult that we started contacting each other occasionally?

Well… . Because of the Korean War, the number of young men had decreased drastically. It was a regrettable historical background.

“If we break up with Gyul-woo, even if we’re okay, Jin-ho will feel uncomfortable with us. In that case, even though I’m useless, I’ll have to stay behind Jin-ho as an adult.”

And he said that he kept that fact a secret from me because he didn’t know what would happen with human relationships, and he was prepared in case I broke up with Gyul-woo.

“But seeing what you do to Gyul-woo, I don’t think you need to hide it.”

By the way, the original plan was to reveal it as a surprise later when Winter got married… .

Before returning, before the wedding, Winter died in a car accident, so the truth was buried.

‘Ah. Now that I think about it…’

I vaguely remember seeing the face of a person who resembled the chairman at Gyul-woo’s funeral.

I think he tapped me on the shoulder and said something. At the time, I was completely unconscious because of the shocking incident. I barely remember the funeral.

Poof. Poof. Poof.

-Fever Time!

It’s a new experience, but I feel like the winter that I get to play puzzle games in my arms is precious once again.

I hugged Winter tightly.

Winter spoke with a voice full of complaints, wondering if I was bothering him.

“Oh, let go. I have to do this. Jihyun. My score was reversed.”

Was it a game called Animal Pang?

It was an incredibly popular game, perhaps because it was connected to a messenger called CocoaTalk and allowed players to compete against their friends for rankings.

“Do you download porn on your computer?”

Gyul-woo, who had been playing games on his smartphone for a while, was about to turn on the computer to watch a soccer video that his mother-in-law had recorded, when he sensed something strange and asked me about it.

“no.”

“Then why didn’t you turn off the computer?”

Uh. Hmm. Mining?

In the 21st century, we’re mining gold with computers, not pickaxes.

Coins may be the gold of the 21st century.

“Winter.”

I lowered my voice, put on a serious expression, and called out to Gyul-woo.

“huh?”

“Don’t you want to be rich?”

“My family is already rich?”

That’s right.

I nodded slowly, and Gyul-woo, who was watching me like that, continued speaking.

“You’re rich too.”

I nodded again.

Let me say this again: playing soccer in South Korea costs more money than you might think.

Even aside from the manager’s fee, the cost of purchasing basic soccer equipment is not cheap.

In order to play as a starting player, you have to pool together all the money you have and offer it to the manager, meaning ‘please take good care of me’.

Even in a famous high school in Seoul with a soccer team, isn’t there a legend that the coach received 400 million won in the three years he was in office?

Considering that at the time, the average apartment sale price in Seoul was less than 500 million won, this could be said to be a collection ability that even corrupt officials would marvel at.

‘Come to think of it, the director who was arrested is the guy who was trying to coax me into coming to his high school.’

Anyway, in this capitalist Republic of Korea, if you want to debut as a pro with only talent, wouldn’t you need to be crazy talented enough to get on the Ballon d’Or podium in the first round?

‘Oh my. How much is all this?’

Anyway, I smiled with satisfaction as I watched the coins pile up in my virtual wallet.

‘With this money, I should run a small daycare center later.’

Who knows, maybe one daycare I run will produce a soccer player who will shock the world.

***

There is a saying that time passes quickly as you get older.

Is it because I regressed?

Time seems to pass twice as fast for me compared to other people.

As I was providing systematic training to the soccer team members of Geumsun High School,

“I am disappointed in your ability to execute tactics. Therefore! Geumsun High School’s soccer team will now undergo special training! From now on, your answers will be unified with evil! Do you understand?”

A week passed by in a flash. When I came to my senses, it was already Saturday, the day of the game again.

“Wow!”

We were able to achieve a 12:1 victory over Dongmyeong High School, a team belonging to the Seoul Northern League.

I managed to score a hat-trick with only mid-range shots.

And is it because of that activity?

[Wow! Jin-ho Son, a first-year student at Geumsun High School’s soccer team, joins the U-19 national team. Congratulations!]

I was called up to the U-19 national team and started training. If I do well here, I might participate in the friendly tournament held in the UAE in April.

And it was only natural that the family chat room became noisy at this sad news.

– Mother-in-law: Oh my! Jin-ho! I’m so proud that you were selected for the national team. I’m not pressuring you, but what do you think about transferring to Chelsea in the future?

– Winter Winter: Ol~ Jin-ho Son, will you be able to join the real Hwang Yoo team soon?

– Golden Shield: Jin-ho, student! After you graduate, go to Arsenal and have a wonderful life!

Hmm. It’s hell. Why are all the options fire paths?
