Genius Archer Streaming Season 1 Episode 192
65. Old Relationship (2)
‘It’s my sister-in-law.’
The sender of the message was ‘Lee Dong-soo’.
This is a friend I once played archery with.
Sang-Hyeon unconsciously looked into his Runestar feed.
‘……what.’
It was the face of Lee Dong-soo that Sang-hyun remembered. The face was just a little more plump. However, what surprised Sang-hyun was not the consistency of the face.
‘You couldn’t do it either.’
Lee Dong-su was also not an archer.
After the accident, Sang-Hyeon quit archery after practicing and never looked back at it again.
Even when the Olympics were held, I didn’t watch archery and I turned my attention away from the sport itself.
If you had been paying attention, you would have known.
Lee Dong-soo didn’t become a player.
‘Is this reality…? … .’
I just vaguely thought that ‘they’ would all go to the Olympics, win medals, and be athletes.
‘What is this feeling… … .’
Seeing my old friend gave me a strange feeling.
It felt like I was walking down that road to school at Cheonggye High School for a while… … .
It felt like the memories were seeping into my body.
It’s not just a simple reminiscence or recollection, but the smell of tteokbokki from the snack shop that wafted in the air as I walked down the street, the rough texture of the uncomfortable yet comfortable school uniform, all five senses seem to take me back to that time.
“Why are you looking so dazed?”
Joohyuk asks casually while slurping down the last of his bibim noodles.
Sang-Hyeon has been staring blankly at his cell phone a lot lately, but that kind of expression is rare.
An expression that looks as if one’s soul has left the body.
“… … I got a call from a former colleague.”
“ah. Is that so? I also… … .”
Joo-hyuk tried to focus on eating again, saying, “There are many cases like that when playing Rune Star.”
“for a moment.”
Then suddenly I realize something.
“What do you mean, ‘former colleague’… when you were doing archery?”
“……huh.”
“!”
Joohyuk’s eyes opened wide.
“no.”
He hastily adjusts his glasses and goes over to Sanghyun to look at his cell phone.
“What kind of person is this? You don’t want to be found out? Did you link your phone number here?”
“No. That’s not it.”
“Whoa. thank god. “The walnut is not broken.”
Joo Hyuk was relieved for now.
If you link the contacts in your phone, all the people you had a connection with in the past will be connected and there will be no answers.
“It doesn’t matter if I link my contact information in the first place.”
Sanghyeon smiles bitterly and shows his contact list. If you are a person who has lived a normal school life and a normal social life, you should have at least 100 of these in total… … .
‘They’re all just people from the company, right?’
Sang-Hyeon had about forty contacts.
Even that overlaps with Joo-hyuk by almost 90%.
There was no trace of the past. No friends from high school or from before.
Even if I say I was bullied at work because I was a parachute, why don’t the people I knew from my childhood have my phone number?
‘What happened?’
There was no trace left at all, as if they had made a fuss with the people who practiced archery.
There is only one thing left.
[Han So-yeon]
This is Soyeon’s phone number.
Tuk.
Joo Hyuk put Sang Hyun’s cell phone out of sight and asked again.
“So the person who contacted you… …what kind of person is he?”
Is this guy trustworthy? was the question.
“hmm… … “I don’t know either.”
“I don’t know?”
“We met 10 years ago. “I don’t even know what kind of person I am now.”
“ah… … .”
Joo Hyuk nodded in understanding.
People change in 10 years. Even 10 years after high school, you would be a completely different person.
There are very few people who still retain the personality and values they had during their school days.
“Will it silence you?”
“If I were to know Dong-soo… … he’s not the type to really enjoy talking to people. Archery kids tend to be quite reserved… … .”
“Then that’s good.”
It’s not a secret you have to keep tight… … Sanghyeon was about to say that when he stopped.

‘But Dong-su doesn’t do archery anymore.’
Due to the nature of the sport of archery, even active people tend to become calm and reticent.
Was Lee Dong-su really quiet from the beginning? Or was it the archery’s three-colored target that hypnotized him?
‘I may be far from being taciturn now.’
Sang-Hyeon looked at Lee Dong-Soo’s Runestar feed once again.
Photos taken with happy expressions with your lover, travel stories, delicious food… … The appearance of an ordinary rune star.
[1,000 followers]
What stands out among them is that he has a whopping 1,000 followers.
Even though it may be a mere handful of dust compared to Sang-Hyeon, it is unusual for an ordinary person to have 1,000 followers.
If Sang-Hyeon hadn’t been a streamer, he wouldn’t even have 50 followers.
Joo-hyuk, who is said to have lived a so-called ‘popular’ life, has about 450 followers.
‘I guess I’m not the same sister-in-law I once was.’
If he was the person he remembered, he wouldn’t have this many followers. He wasn’t the type of person to enjoy meeting people.
You never know.
It may just be that his Runestar is fun, or that Dong-su is attractive, so there may just be a lot of them.
Sanghyeon once again looked at the contents of the message.
[I thought you were doing something else because you stopped hearing from me after quitting archery. Are you a streamer? It’s so amazing haha. You’re still shooting well?]
“Still shooting well… … .”
Joo-hyuk, who was eating mixed noodles again, looked up. What are you talking about all of a sudden?
“what?”
“It’s delicious. Bibim guksu.”
Joo-hyuk’s expression brightens.
And he corrected me with a serious expression.
“Big Beam Noodles.”
“……what?”
“It’s Big Teacher’s Bibim Guksu, so it’s Big Beam Guksu.”
“… … okay.”
“If you say something wrong, you’ll get caught by the scruff of the neck by Mr. Big and go flying.”
“?”
“Mr. Big’s back restaurant… … “Didn’t you see it?”
“uh… … ”
“They throw the kids who are doing business there by the back of their heads. He’s not a big teacher for nothing. “It looks like it’s over 2 meters tall.”
Back Neck Restaurant is a name that makes you feel so angry that you will fall down holding your back.
‘He was grabbing the back of the neck and throwing it… … .’
Big Beam Noodles.
Sanghyun stood up, thinking that he had to pronounce it correctly.
“I’ll do the dishes tomorrow morning.”
widely.
Sang-Hyeon closed the door and lay down on the bed.
Unlike usual, his mind is complicated.
‘How should I contact you?’
Once contacted. To be honest, I felt more glad than worried.
Is it because he is now at a precious age to share old memories with?
Sanghyun continues fiddling with the message screen.
‘Anyway, someday… … .’
In fact, I was mentally prepared to the fullest.
He competed in competitions, appeared on TV, and even showed off his archery skills.
The Mangnani Warrior commercial was aired on the Trivi Channel nationwide.
It will come to light someday.
That he was an archer.
In fact, I think I may have postponed it too much.
‘Joo-hyuk said that it would be of great benefit if he revealed it.’
The money-minded manager said that revealing the past would actually improve his image.
That was something that even Sang-Hyeon could have predicted.
A promising archery player with a sad story regains his dream as a streamer.
Anyone can easily imagine that this copy would make it into the news.
The contents of the comments now come to mind one after another.
“ha…….”
Sanghyun sighed deeply.
What is this, why can’t you reveal it yet? … Probably everyone thinks that way.
Even if I tell you the reason, you probably won’t sympathize.
Because it is for extremely personal reasons.
He muttered, staring into space.
“Stop showing up now.”
Swish.
Long black hair suddenly caught my eye.
Her eyes are always clear and honest, as if staring at a target.
The Sang-Hyeon reflected in it is still the young appearance from that old image.
He opens his mouth.
Always the same thing.
“I’m going to quit because it’s not fun.”
It’s a lie I told when I was young.
The coach asked me to tell him that I was quitting because of an injury, because it would be bad for my teammates. I would be intimidated by the bow.
The coach properly rewarded Sang-Hyeon for lying to the end. He let him join Asung.
I don’t blame the coach.
In fact, Sanghyun also wanted to lie. No matter how much her coach asked her to hide her lies, she was able to tell her the truth.
Soyeon grabbed him again and asked him again.
“Are you really quitting?”
“Are you really quitting this because it’s no fun?”
“Who are you trying to fool!? “Say it right now!”
Since she knew Sang-Hyeon better than anyone else at the time, she would have known that he wouldn’t quit suddenly.
Nevertheless, Sanghyeon gave false answers until the end. He didn’t want to tell her that she was hurt. I couldn’t bear to tell the person who always looked at me as the best and strongest that I was no longer that person.
It seemed better to disappear somewhere while remaining the strongest. As a child, he made such foolish choices.
I guess I can let you know properly later… … I took it lightly.
The time that passed did not return, and the price was heavier than expected.
Sanghyun thought for a while and moved his fingers.
[It’s been a while. Dongsu. When is the time? Would you like to take a look?]
He decided to treat memories as memories now.
* * *
“Hey. Yoo Sang-hyun!”
A cafe during company lunch hour. Even in the midst of the crowds, the faces of old friends still catch my eye.
“Dongsu.”
“and! nice to meet!”
Lee Dong-soo waved his now bulkier body and greeted him with his whole body.
“hey. You were very famous. “Is it okay to come to a place like this?”
“ah… … It’s not that famous. “Office workers don’t know me very well.”
Even as Sanghyun said that, he quickly put his hat back on.
He was naked until his brother discovered him.
“Hey. You’re still handsome. I’m jealous.”
“You’ve changed a little.”
“Oh, uh. You’ve gained so much weight. I guess I should have continued with archery.”
“Why did you quit?”
“That’s right. what… … I don’t have any talent like you. “I just did it because I liked doing things with my body.”
“ah… … .”
“But I’m not doing anything else right now.”
“okay?”
“huh. I run an archery cafe. “It’s quite popular.”
Sanghyun was surprised.
Even though I looked through Runestar, I didn’t notice it.
“I see. “I didn’t know that even when I saw Rune Star.”
“ah. Well, it’s a personal account. “This is my cafe promotion account.”
“ah… … .”
Namyangju, Yangpyeong, Gangneung… …the chain was located all over the country.
It was a cafe that was mainly set up in the outskirts of the city.
“and.”
“What do you think? Does this look good enough to shoot?”
Chuckling, Lee Dong-su showed the target.
“Oh. Looks okay.”
“There’s also archery. It’s something that older people do.”
“Archery?”
Archery. Come to think of it, I had planned to go archery with the director before, but it’s still been postponed.
This is what it’s like to keep an appointment with busy people.
“Okay. Look. This is the Yangpyeong branch of archery.”
“oh…….”
“These days, capsule games are fun, but on the other hand, there are a lot more people who find fun offline.”
“ah. yes. “No matter how virtual reality is, there are limits.”
“huh. “If he comes and feels nature and takes a shot at healing, his head will clear up.”
Dongsu said he loved nature since he was young. That’s the same. Now that I look at him, not much has changed, except that he has become more fluent in his language as he goes into business.
“Do you remember that?”
The two communicated well in their own way.
Because there are more than one or two memories to share.
“Ahaha. At that time, the coach was really like that. To be honest.”
“Fuhahaha!”
Sanghyun also had a fun time for the first time in a while.
The time I was able to meet my archery colleagues and talk about archery was truly precious.
When the conversation had become somewhat relaxed, Sang-Hyeon confessed that he had been keeping the fact that he had done archery a secret.
“Ah… … Rain, you’re keeping it a secret?”
Dongsu blinked with a surprised expression.
Looking around and feeling embarrassed was the same as when I was in high school.
Was this the expression you made when you sneaked out of practice time and got caught by the coach?
“Yeah, really? How should I explain this… … .”
“?”
“You know that I run an archery cafe, but… … “I still see my kids often, right?”
“?!”
Sang-Hyeon also intuitively sensed what he was trying to say.
“Why are our juniors coming to play too? That… … Jonghyun and Taewoo are coming too… … Hyo, Hyunju too… … .”
“……so?”
Lee Dong-soo bowed his head down on the table and apologized.
“mi… … sorry! “I told you!”
“ah… … .”
