Shooting Trajectory is Visible - Chapter 277

Episode 277 Family
In today’s globalised world, a motorcade in Manchester can be instantly broadcast across the globe.
Unlike in the past when it took time to learn of an event that occurred on the other side of the globe, things are different these days.
Especially if it has to do with your own country.
This news was immediately reported widely on public broadcasting.
[Manchester United won the league title for the first time in 13 years. In particular, the performance of Korean players stood out in this victory.]
[Kim Min-woo won the Premier League Player of the Year award after not allowing a single goal in the league this season, and Kim Jun-young contributed greatly to the team’s victory by taking charge of the team’s offense.]
[Manchester United held a car parade to celebrate their victory. Fans who filled the streets of Manchester gave the players warm applause and cheers.]
[This victory is a significant event for both Manchester United and Korean football history. Also, in the upcoming World Cup… … .]
The first championship in 13 years. Two Koreans. One is a decent striker with steady growth. The other is a goalkeeper who needs no other description.
The days of competing with Asian legends like Son Heung-min are long gone, and now Kim Min-woo’s opponents are only legendary figures in football history.
Lionel Messi, who is still active. Maradona, the heroes of the past. Pele. And Yashin, who is said to be unrivaled in the world of goalkeepers.
People’s conclusion is that even though Kim Min-woo’s career is lacking right now, if he maintains his current performance, he will eventually surpass everyone and become the undisputed best player in the world.
Also, whether the legends of the past will be able to overcome Kim Min-woo even if they come back alive, and whether the shutout streak will be broken in the future.
[Perhaps after Kim retires, there will be a lot of vs matches. Even if Kim faces the strikers of that era, will Kim not concede a goal?]
[No matter what, I’ll still lose points before I retire, right?]
[Who will take Kim’s first goal? Will he make it to the World Cup? Whoever takes Kim’s goal and lifts him to the World Cup will be a player who will go down in history.]
Kim Shin-ah read the comments from those foreigners, but she lost interest and turned it off. Then she went into the community… … .
[Recent news about Manchester that looks like it’s at war]

→It’s impossible not to come up because he’s in a form that highlights every game.
“That’s why I can’t quit… .”
Kim Min-woo will soon return to Korea for an evaluation match. Before that, he needs to mess around a bit.
[Kim Shin-ah: Are you ready to parade in Korea too, Min?]
The reply will come shortly.
[Kim Min-woo: Of course, God]
[Kim Shin-ah: Okay, let’s help the ghosts become Buddhas]
[Kim Min Woo: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha]
[Kim Shin-ah: Let’s go from no one to Yoo Kwan-min]
Son Heung-min has won exactly three trophies in his career.
There’s the Audi Cup, the Peace Cup, and the Asian Games.
And to be really serious, the Audi Cup and the Peace Cup were just friendly matches, so they don’t count as championship trophies, and the Asian Games were honestly too low of a level to be considered a championship trophy, except for Korea, which was exempted from military service.
And what if Son Heung-min lifts the World Cup?
“He is a literal Buddha.”
Harry Kane escaped.
Can Son Heung-min do it?
What would happen if a ghost with no name and a winning contractor played on the same team?
But the national team’s performance is really good these days, so in the end, won’t the winning team win? Probably.
* * *
After a brief festive day in Manchester, the entire squad went their separate ways until next season.
Players who were called up to the national team went to their respective countries for evaluation matches.
Even if you are not a national representative, go to another region or your home country for rest.
In particular, the players participating in this World Cup were whining that they really didn’t want to meet me in the United States.
“Brother. Are you really not going with me?”
“Uh. I’m going to stop by Hanover for a bit.”
Also, I decided to send Kim Jun-young to Korea first and then stop by Hanover.
The season is over, so I have some free time. I’m going to take advantage of that short break to meet up with Sophie.
Sophie came to Manchester last time, so now it was my turn.
“What is it, son? Why don’t you go right away?”
When I told my mother that I was stopping by Hanover and then going to Korea, she immediately noticed my intentions and smiled sinisterly.
“Should I prepare to take on a foreign daughter-in-law now? I guess I should probably tell Shin-ah and her father soon.”
“Hey. What… Don’t do that.”
“Why, son? Are you playing with fire?”
I paused for a moment. Playing with fire?
Realizing the meaning belatedly, I shook my head firmly.
“That’s not it.”
“Then I guess I can start telling my family!”
I argued with my mom about it for a while, but she had only intended to tease me in the first place, so when I thought she had teased me enough, she stopped.
“Anyway, son. Now that he’s an adult… … you have to be careful. Okay?”
“What safety?”
“Hey, I knew that.”
My mom taps my shoulder with a loud voice.
But does my mother know? At best, we only held hands. For me, who already had a hard time with human relationships, relationships between men and women were even harder… .
Anyway, I was half happy and half excited to see Sophie in Hanover after such a long time.
I covered myself up with a thorough make-up show and went around Hanover with Sophie, and while we were having such a cozy time, I also had to listen to the urging of people around me asking when I would come back.
[Lee Kang-im: It fell, it fell…]
[Lee Kang-im: The youngest comes in the latest…]
[Lee Kang-im: Knowing full well that this World Cup is Hong Min-hyung’s last dance…]
[Kim Min-woo: Yes, yes, I’ll be there soon]
[Hwang Hee-cheon: Hahahahahahahahahahaha]
[Hwang Hee-cheon: Is it a Chinese restaurant?]
[Kim Min-woo: We’ll all go on the day of the assembly!]
[Lee Kang-im: Wow]
[Lee Kang-im: I came out to scold him]
[Lee Kang-im: Run away;]
Because of my busy schedule, I couldn’t spend much time with Sophie. She was disappointed, but as always, she wished me good luck with her dignified demeanor.
“You know? Meet Germany as late as possible!”
“It’s not something I can control….”
“Still, promise!”
“yes yes.”
And the little finger hook. Even this small touch makes my heart flutter for no reason.
After that, I didn’t go astray and boarded the plane straight back home.
‘How long has it been since I’ve been to my hometown?’
This season has been really long.
Especially after the sun went down, I was so busy that I didn’t have time to breathe, there was game after game.
The Bundesliga wasn’t like that. When I get older, I’ll have to return to Germany…
As I entered the country through Incheon Airport with my mind wandering, people greeted me with screams of surprise as if they knew who I was.
And then there are the bursting camera shots.
He kept his composure on the outside, but I wondered how they knew he had entered the country secretly without anyone knowing.
‘Is my information being leaked?’
Tiyong.
I feel like something.
“Player Kim Min-woo! Could you please look here?”
I forced a smile on my face. And then a man handed me something.
Upon checking, I found out that it was the Player of the Year trophy that H&B had requested and loaned to me for a short period of time.
The highest honour an individual can receive in the Premier League.
Only then did I see how things were going, so I picked up the award and smiled at the cameras.
‘What? It looks like it was planned by H&B.’
I’ve been listening to Philip Harris’s reports lately, is this one included?
Well, it doesn’t matter.
This is just some fan service to match my entry into the country.
And then I was pushed by my escorts and got into the car that had been prepared. This car was also provided by H&B.
“I will take you to my home.”
I nodded in confusion, but I also felt a little disappointed that my family hadn’t come to visit.
‘No. There’s no point in coming here in this situation.’
First of all, I contacted my mother to let her know that I had arrived in Korea. My mother said that she knew and that she had made it sound plausible to her family, so she told me not to worry.
‘…Why are you anxious?’
So I crossed a few cities and arrived home. I saw familiar sights. I was now a person who made hundreds of millions a year, but my house was still the same.
In fact, it was a house that had nothing lacking.
My mother and I were practically living abroad, and there was no way we could move and enjoy the luxury of a house that was already so big with two people gone.
It’s just hard work, digging the ground.
More than anything, this house was full of memories.
“I’m here!”
As I entered the familiar door lock password and opened the front door, my family greeted me as if they had been waiting for me.
“Minwoo is here, phew~”
Kim Shin-ah, who still has her usual personality despite entering the best university in the country, is the first to welcome me.
My younger sister used to be such an inconvenience, but now that we live far away and only see each other four or five times a year at most, I’m happy to see her.
‘Is this why adults say that families become more affectionate when they are apart?’
Yes, that’s right. Shin-Ah won’t say anything, but I’ll be really happy. Why? If not, I wouldn’t have pretended not to know him like I used to.
But not anymore. In the past, I didn’t even pretend to know, but these days, I have to hit them because they are so bold.
“Nice to meet you?”
“Hey. I heard you went to Hanover to visit the kids?”
“uh?”
What the heck is this?
Kim Shin-ah made a sour expression as if telling him not to pretend not to know.
“Is this the Kim Min-woo I knew? Huh? You went there on purpose to do a good deed, but you went there secretly so that it wouldn’t be reported in the press? You made sure that it wouldn’t be reported in the press at all through an agency. Why did you do that? If it was the Kim Min-woo I knew, you would have spread rumors all over the neighborhood and visited the hospital in front of the cameras.”
So this is the plausible explanation my mother was talking about?
“If you say something like that and leave, you’ll get kicked out.”
“Oh my… .”
Fortunately, this ridiculous excuse seemed to work. Kim Shin-ah looked at me like I was some kind of immature brat.
Next it was the parents’ turn.
“Minwoo is here!”
My dad came over to me, hugged me, and patted the back of my head.
“You’ve had a hard time. Is life in England any better?”
“are you okay.”
“Son! Why are you so happy to see me even though it’s only been a few days?”
And we sat down on the mat.
Since I was a little hungry, I ordered chicken right away, and my family chatted about various things for the first time in a long time.
“Ah. I can’t get used to my house being so noisy and complicated. Is this what my house used to be like?”
It was Kim Shin-ah. I said, picking up the chicken leg that had already come out.
“It’s not as bad as before, but it feels similar. We always ate dinner together at our house.”
“Yeah. That’s right… .”
Kim Shin-ah’s eyes became filled with something superior.
“This feeling, well. It’s not bad. I like it. I almost got depressed because the house was so quiet.”
“Then why don’t you come to England while you’re at it?”
“uh?”
“The house that Manchester offered was a three-story house. It’s a bit big for two people to live in.”
Kim Shin-ah blinked and looked at me. I also looked at her with a dull look.
“what.”
“no.”
“why.”
“Then my dad will become a goose dad.”
“Dad, you can come too.”
At those words, Dad stepped forward. Immediately.
“No. People have to work. No matter how much money Minwoo earns, I have to earn my own living.”
“Woooooo~ Dad~ What’s your mind~”
And Shin-ah taps her father’s arm. Oh my… .
“But thanks to our Minwoo, I’m going to work these days with the mindset that if things don’t work out, I’ll get fired. That’s good.”
I continued to suggest to Kim Shin-ah that she move to my house in England, but it didn’t work.
Not only was it difficult for her father to be left alone, but Kim Shin-ah also wanted to live in Korea rather than start anew in a faraway land like England.
Tsk. That’s too bad. Or maybe I’m not going because I don’t speak English. Since Shin-Ah is my bloodline, I’ll learn it quickly if I try hard, but I don’t really want to put in that much effort.
And the topic moved on to something else.
“Son. Don’t misunderstand me. Sometimes I wonder if my son is really an alien like everyone else says? He’s just like everyone else, except he’s a different person.”
“I’ve set legendary records, so even my family is starting to doubt me. Being a superstar is lonely… .”
“It’s already been three years without a run, son. It’s a record that’s hard to accept from a common sense perspective.”
Kim Shin-ah clicked her tongue at those words.
“What if a mother doubts the son she gave birth to because of a stomachache?”
“Oh. Did you know that you could say something like that?”
Mom turned her head away, looking slightly embarrassed, and I briefly exclaimed, “Hasn’t this guy been shielding me for a million years?”
“But actually, I think so too. Hey! Who are you inside my brother!”
“What are you saying…?”
“I know very well how to verify aliens. Mom. Dad. Watch carefully. I will determine whether Kim Min-woo is your real son or an alien pretending to be your son.”
What are you trying to do now?
And the family already seemed to be expecting that threat. Kim Shin-ah picked up a bottle cap that was rolling around on the table and threw it at me.
The process was so fast that I couldn’t even fight back before the bottle cap hit my forehead.
“It’s a person! If it was an alien, it would have reacted and dodged it. Or blocked it.”
“I guess I should do some research to see if you’re human or an alien.”
As I got up from my seat, Shin-ah, sensing the crisis, also jumped up from her seat.
“Ahem. I guess I’ve finished eating. Should I go back to my room?”
“Don’t stand!?”
As I ran to catch Kim Shin-ah, the guy quickly went into the room and locked the door.
“Hey! Don’t come out! If you come out now, I’ll hit you once!”
“Yeah, you won’t get hit even once~”
And our parents watched us bickering like this with pleasure. I pretended to be upset and pounded on the door, but in reality, I wasn’t that upset.
Just whatever. It’s fun.
The final World Cup evaluation match is coming up soon, so easing tensions like this before then might actually be a good thing.
