Romantic on the Field

8.

‘Jay, what’s the secret? What kind of training do I need to do to be like you?’

A few years ago, when we were in the youth team together. Harry Harris had asked Jamie that question.

‘You can’t train. It’s innate.’

Unfortunately, Jamie was rude and gave Harry such an unlucky answer.

“What should I do?”

Nevertheless, Harry asked him for advice again years later.

With only one desire to help the team.

‘I remembered.’

Jamie recalled a forgotten memory. yes. It certainly was.

‘He’s great too. Don’t you have any pride?’

Jamie stared at Harry’s face as if he were looking at a strange animal.

“Anything is fine. Whether it’s playing advice or training advice.”

It seemed that he had no self-respect at all. His face was changing color and his voice was trembling as if swallowing anger.

“How tall are you?”

“uh?”

“How many? Over six feet, right?”

“Yeah, yes.”

His height was 6 feet 3 inches, approximately 190 cm.

“He looks pretty heavy. His jumping ability is also good. Physical condition is good. It’s because the head is triangular.”

“…”

The head is three-headed. Is that what you say to people? I was dumbfounded, but I thought I had something to say, so I waited in silence for the next words.

However, Jamie said only that far and then turned around.

“What, what is it? So what?”

I asked for advice, and then I just blamed it and ended it? Harry felt embarrassed.

“If your head is square, even if you are 3 meters tall, it doesn’t matter. shave the head If you do a thousand headers every day, you’ll shave it off.”

Finally, Jamie added that and coolly left the training ground as if his words were over.

‘What kind of bastards are all of them…’

No, it’s my fault for seeking advice from a bastard like that. Harry stared blankly at his back and spat on the training ground floor.

‘uh?’

Then, a thought suddenly came to my mind.

He is tall, has a good body, and jumps well.

then······.

‘I only need to supplement the header.’

There is a limit to overcoming the innate physical condition with effort.

But heading is different.

It can be overcome with enough practice.

In fact, there were players who scored quite a few headed goals with a single body.

‘Cut your head. If I do a thousand headers every day, I’ll shave it off.’

Was that what it meant…?

Harry stared at the place where Jamie had disappeared.

Even if you don’t have a bad thing, you gave me advice that became blood and bones in your own way.

Harry’s eyes sparkled with emotion.

And a few hours later…

Whoops.

Jamie, who was dating Hannah, received a text message.

[Finished a thousand times. unlucky kid. ]

Who is it? Jamie tilted his head.

They didn’t seem to be very close, as their number wasn’t stored.

“who is this?”

“Well. Someone must have sent the wrong one.”

Jamie deleted the message and focused on dating again.

**

Afterwards, Harry practiced heading like crazy, and Jamie was busy in his own way.

“tremble?”

And finally, Sunday dawned.

“Shall I answer honestly?”

“yes.”

“I am very nervous.”

Now this is the DoubleTree Hilton Hotel located in Stoke-on-Trent.

Jamie was waiting for her father-in-law with Hannah.

“Don’t be too nervous. Daddy likes you.”

Even so, it was natural for Jamie to be nervous.

Tok, tok, tok, tok.

Unknowingly, he tapped the table with the tip of his fingernail, and Hannah saw this and grabbed his hand.

“Oh sorry. Are you out of your mind?”

“no. You don’t look confident.”

Hannah shook her head and smiled slightly.

“Have confidence. It’s more like you that way.”

Well. I guess now is not the time for that.

The moment I was about to reply, the door opened.

In one half of Jamie, somehow, the blood of the Eastern Kingdom of Courtesy flowed. He jumped up from his seat.

“Long time no see, Jamie.”

come.

Bet 777 and the chairman of Stoke City FC, Hannah’s father, the oldest chairman reached out to Jamie.

“Nice to meet you, Chairman.”

Jamie quickly answered, holding hands.

“···President?”

The longest brow wrinkled.

what the hell did i do wrong

Noticing the change in expression, Jamie rolled her eyes in anxiety.

‘But can I do this?’

Then, all of a sudden, I had a thought.

In the past, Jamie missed Hannah.

Although it was not intentional, in the end, his choice changed everything.

My life, Hannah’s life, and the longest life.

‘Can I stay here right now?’

‘Just because I’ve changed doesn’t mean that all of my past faults are gone.’

‘Now I am…, what has changed?’

Numerous thoughts came to my mind in succession.

“Jamie.”

hook.

Just as a strong wind drives away fog, Hannah’s words blew away all her thoughts in an instant.

“It’s fine?”

Hannah was looking at Jamie worriedly.

“Jamie.”

This time it was the longest run.

He was still looking at Jamie with his brow furrowed.

“Yes, Chairman.”

“Ask me about this. Did you propose?”

Well? A question came over Jamie’s face.

I thought I would endure it no matter what I heard.

I made up my mind to endure any accusations, insults, even violence.

But suddenly, a proposal.

It’s more than unexpected, isn’t it too out of the blue?

Jamie couldn’t help but be embarrassed.

“Dad! What are you talking about as soon as you arrive!”

Hannah interrupted, disgusted as the conversation went erratically.

“Hanna. You stay still, this is a man-to-man question.”

Or not, Choi Jang-su said with a stern expression, and Hannah shook her head as if she couldn’t stop it.

“Jamie, let me ask you one more time. Did you propose?”

“···I did.”

“Good job. All the problems that exist in this world can be classified into two categories. There are issues that can be overlooked and issues that cannot.”

Choi Jang-soo untied his furrowed brow and sat down.

“The proposal is the latter. The obvious latter.”

“···Yes.”

Jamie also sat down with a puzzled expression.

“Your mother-in-law seldom passed this point. I brought up the story of a proposal every single day in my life. I didn’t want you to repeat the same mistake I did.”

“Ah yes.”

“And in private, call me father-in-law. Chairman, something, Chairman. We are no strangers.”

“Ah, I see.”

Whew. Hannah let out a small sigh and shook her head.

“Is your in-laws doing well?”

in-laws, in-laws. oh my father

“How are you?”

Jamie understood his father-in-law a little later.

“Actually, I want to see you right away, but there is an order in work…. I want to see you again as soon as things are settled, yes.”

The father-in-law was a big fan of Stoke City before the owner. There was no way he didn’t know Jamie’s father.

“By the way, did your in-laws really have no intention of coming back to Stoke? Offered coaching position several times…”

“Dad. Please stop talking nonsense.”

“Hmm. Is this useless talk?”

“uh. Why are you talking to Jay? It is burdensome for J to listen to it, and it must be burdensome for the father-in-law who has heard about it.”

“Jamie, are you embarrassed?”

“No, father-in-law.”

Hannah shook her head again.

“Dad. Stop talking nonsense and tell me why you asked to meet. He said he had something to give Jay.”

“Oh yeah. Yes it was. Take a look at my mind.”

The father-in-law snapped his fingers and pulled out a key from his inside pocket.

“I understand that the two of you are looking into details like the wedding venue and the date of the wedding. But can you let go of your only daughter getting married? So I prepared it because I thought I should do it even for my newlyweds.”

new home? Hannah’s eyes widened.

Surprisingly, Jamie was the same.

‘Dad said he wanted to give me a present. It won’t be much. Don’t expect too much.’

I received a word in advance, and I expected that I wouldn’t really give a ‘no big deal’ because of my father-in-law’s personality. But I didn’t know it would be a newlyweds’ house.

“It is a house on Fairbank Avenue. It’s close to the stadium and many other players live around, so it won’t be too bad.”

“···thank you.”

It was very embarrassing, but Jamie responded like that for now.

“…”

On the other hand, Hannah was still staring at her father-in-law with a blank face without saying anything.

“…”

I kept staring.

“That, Hannah. If, by any chance, Dad acted presumptuously…”

After all, when the father-in-law said such a thing.

“Dad! thanks!”

Hanna jumped up from her seat and hugged her father-in-law.

“Huh!”

It didn’t stop there, and suddenly burst into tears.

“…”

Why are you doing this? The father-in-law slightly turned his head and asked with only a look on his face.

I don’t know either. Jamie responded with only facial expressions.

**

“Why are you like that?”

On the way to the house that my father-in-law gave me as a gift.

Jamie, sitting in the passenger seat, asked.

“Don’t ask! It’s embarrassing.”

Hannah, who was driving, replied with a slightly flushed face. Embarrassed, he seemed unwilling to answer.

“Uhhhhh. Whoa! Dad! Why did you do that all of a sudden?”

Of course, Jamie didn’t just let it go.

“Ah! Don’t do it!”

“ha ha ha.”

It is about 3 miles (approximately 5 kilometers) from the Double Tree Hilton Hotel to Fairbank Avenue, where the newlyweds are located.

It wasn’t long before they reached the beginning of Fairbank Avenue.

“Could it be that?”

“I guess so.”

And as soon as they entered the street, there was a building that stood out, and they could tell that it was the newlyweds’ house.

It was because there was a large mansion that looked like three buildings joined together among the houses.

Just in case, I checked the address once more.

“Right.”

“Yeah······.”

They parked their car in the front yard and stared blankly up at the mansion for a while.

“You rent a house like that.”

“Yeah······.”

Jamie has announced that he will stay at Stoke City. However, the father-in-law said, ‘I don’t know what people do’, and said that they had signed a one-year rental contract. However, on the condition that Jamie can make the purchase whenever she wants.

“Hey, shall we go inside?”

“Is that so…”

The two carefully opened the door and went inside.

I couldn’t hear the sound effect in the movie like ‘Kiik’, and the effect in the cartoon like ‘Paaat’ didn’t appear.

The newlyweds simply showed the original appearance as it was.

“Wow······.”

That alone was enough to elicit admiration.

Large chandeliers, antique carpets and wallpaper, pillars. A good example of ‘neo-classic style’ could be inserted into an interior booklet.

“How many rooms are there?”

“Well. First of all, there are more than five doors that you can see right away.”

They looked around the house with wide eyes. There were eight rooms on the first floor alone, and three bathrooms. The second floor was more than that. It looked more like a cafe with a palace concept than a house.

“Dad.”

“yes?”

“I was afraid that my father would be sad inside.”

After the rough viewing, Hannah said in a watery voice.

“If a daughter were close to her father, how close would she be? Still, I felt that my dad relied on me a lot. Dad has no siblings. My grandfather and grandmother and even my mother died when I was very young. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am the only family my father has left.”

Jamie made no reply. Instead, he carefully placed his hand on her shoulder.

“By the way, now even your daughter says she’s getting married. I thought you’d be sad I thought it would be very lonely.”

“This can be happen.”

“yes. But even though Dad is lonely, he doesn’t seem to be sad. hahahaha.”

Hannah wiped the tears from her eyes. Seeing this, Jamie also wiped the tears from the other eye.

“thank god. Because my dad found me such a nice house.”

“Yeah. Really thankful. I don’t know how to repay you for this.”

“pay?”

Hannah tilted her head.

“Repay me. Come to think of it, I don’t think he has anything to repay his father.”

“Well? What are you talking about.”

Jamie’s head also tilted to the side.

“No, I think so. uh? He gave up Dortmund and came here. Isn’t that enough to repay you?”

Either that or not, Hanna started to get excited, even using a dialect she didn’t use.

“It’s not enough to spend on a low price for a future Wallcle player, and he even marries his daughter, but I have to do this much. it’s not like that?”

“I don’t think so. Hana.”

“No, that’s right.”

Even though the tears had already dried, she pressed the back of her hand to the corner of her eye once more.

“He only thinks of himself. got it? Dad. No, don’t pay attention to the owner, Chairman Choi, and take care of your own career.”

“…”

“Answer me! hurry. Ah, quick!”

Jamie didn’t answer.

‘Oh, a woman who is good at making sudden starts.’

I just stared at her face and thought to myself.

“ah. There is something suitable.”

Then, a thought came to my mind and I muttered to myself.

“yes? what?”

“Oh, no. There is such a thing.”

There was one way to repay.

Coincidentally, the next game was the ‘Papa John’s Pizza Cup’.

‘They said there were no championship cups in recent years.’

Despite the name, a cup is a cup anyway.

Jamie decided to give him the trophy in return.

‘If it’s the championship cup… will you buy me an island this time?’

It’s a reward, but I couldn’t help but feel that kind of expectation in my heart.
