As Jihong pondered the unexpected turn of events, the sound of a cell phone rang out next to him. Jaekyung took his cell phone out of his pocket, his brows furrowed.
"Who's calling?"
— Coach
Perhaps it was the new coach leading the national team. Jihong, deciding to take advantage of the situation, quickly suggested, "You should go out and answer. It's too noisy here."
Jaekyung was silent. It seed that he hadn't even planned to listen to Jihon.
"Hey, hurry up, co on
Jihon persuaded him again and again. Only then did the guy click his tongue, reluctantly rising from his seat, and blurted out: "Stop playing your gas."
And he left the restaurant.
Noah smirked as Jaekyung left, then shifted his satisfied face to Jihon. Finding his gaze aningful, Jihong took the initiative and asked first.
"Why do you look at
like that?"
— There is no specific reason. Just wondering what the difference is
"I'm sorry, but what are you talking about?
— I read one video in which you are the main character
— Which one?
— From Berlin during the championship
"Ahh
Jihon nodded, thinking, "I wondered how he knew . That's the thing."
"You have a good mory
"No, it has nothing to do with it. I was shown it not once or twice, but probably a hundred or even a thousand tis
The tone of the interlocutor made Jihon doubt his seriousness.
"Even if we t ten years later, I would still recognize you. Since Jaekyung watched this video every day. Every single day.
"Is it?"
Noah arched an eyebrow as if asking, "What's that weak reaction?"
Noah, after briefly acknowledging it, proceeded to a long and strange monologue: "Anyway, Jaekyung kept turning it on. You may be angry with , but I didn't find anything outstanding in him. Yes, your stroke is powerful compared to your physique. But the performance did not make a strong impression on . Although, even if Jaekyung is crazy, there is probably sothing unusual after all. And I wondered if I could feel sothing similar when I saw you swim in person."
"Actually, Jaekyung never watched
during training either," when Jihong denied, Noah's eyes widened.
"Wh-what?"
— Yes. When Jaekyung ca to the swimming center, I was recovering from an injury
Hearing that he had never swam properly in front of Jaekyung, Noah muttered in a low voice, "I see..."
"Then why do you think Jaekyung has this obsession?"
After thinking for a while, Jihong added, "I guess this sounds like an aspiration?"
Respect, envy, reverence. Jihon lined up synonyms in English one by one before continuing: "The swimming infrastructure in our country was very poor. It cannot be compared with China or Japan. After all, the base of talented athletes is small and there is no proper training. If you take into account the results of international competitions before Jaekyung, they were mainly related to the Asian Gas."
"And you?"
"Yes, so that's what I'm getting at
Jihon tapped his fingers on the table, "I was second. He is the second Korean swimr to win a dal at the World Championships. The first one was won in diving, which caused a stir."
Especially considering that it was the n's 100-ter freestyle that was the culmination of the event, such a triumph led to a huge hype.
"It was a first for the Korean society, which did not show much interest in swimming, so much so that the Olympics were not even broadcast properly. And how did I look in the eyes of young and beginners then?
"Hmm, a hero?" You probably beca the source of their inspiration. The sa is true for Jaekyung
"Don't you have an idol or an ideal?"
"There is a man who flattened the noses of the Aricans at the Olympics and earned the title of Australian hero. I beca interested in swimming, thanks to him.
"That's exactly
"But I never wanted to sleep with him
Jihon closed his mouth. Noticing his reaction, Noah began to smile even wider: "And it never occurred to
that I would have sex with a copy of him."
??…….??
Jihon was still pausing. In the end, Noah attacked again: "Hey, don't pretend to hear about it for the first ti."
"What?"
Jihong feigned shock, but it didn't work either.
Jaekyung got mixed up with a Chinese mber of the beach volleyball team right after the Asian Gas last year
His speech sounded too convincing, even though he had ssed everything up. In the end, Jihong corrected the interlocutor: "Water polo. And he represents Taiwan."
"Oh, yes?" The mont I t him, I realized that he looked eerily like you
— Noah
Jihon quietly shouted the na of the provocateur, to which he only smirked.
"Why are you talking all this nonsense?" Are you trying to reassure
that I'm special to Jaekyung?
"Honey, I don't an anything other than a statent of fact. The truth remains true
"Yes, yes, okay," Jihong muttered quietly, tired of fighting. "So what?" Does it matter?"
"Yes
For a mont, Jihon stared at him, effectively letting out a mute cry, "You... you...?"
"Does he have feelings for Jaekyung? That's why he's attacking ...
