I MAY HAVE STARTED PLAYING HOCKEY BECAUSE OF MY DAD... ...BUT THERE WAS A TIME THAT I TRULY LOVED THE GAME, TOO. THE PROBLEM WAS THAT HOCKEY DIDN'T LOVE ME BACK. BAEK EUNSAN!! HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO KEEP IT LOW? THERE'S NO GETTING AROUND TALENT IN SPORTS. THAT'S JUST THE TRUTH. NO MATTER HOW MUCH I LOVED HOCKEY OR HOW HARD I WORKED AT IT, I JUST WASN'T GOOD ENOUGH. YES, COACH! JUST LIKE MY DAD. I WAS 18 YEARS OLD AND QUESTIONING MYSELF EVERY DAY IF I WOULD EVER MAKE IT... ...WHEN A BONA FIDE WUNDERKIND CAME INTO MY LIFE. I WANT TO PLAY HOCKEY, TOO. WHERE DO I SIGN UP? THAT WAS IAN. FROM THAT DAY ON, DAD TRANSFERRED ALL OF HIS ATTENTION AND EXPECTATIONS TO THAT KID. AND AFTER I HAD A DREAM ABOUT MY DAD CUTTING MY NAME OUT OF HIS HEART AND GIVING IT TO HIS NEW PROTÉGÉ... EUNSAN BAEK 21 ...I DECIDED I WAS GOING TO HATE THAT BOY. YOU...! GIMME THAT. WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU? YOU DIDN'T ANSWER MY QUESTION. ABOUT WHAT?! I ASKED IF I'M GIVING YOU A HEADACHE. HA... I WASN'T TOTALLY SURE... ...BUT IT WAS YOU, WASN'T IT? YOU PICKED OUR PROPOSAL OVER THE OTHERS. YOU THINK I PICKED AEROS BECAUSE IT HAD YOUR NAME WRITTEN ON IT? WHY? BECAUSE YOU'RE SUCH A FRIGGIN' ROLE MODEL? WHAT DO YOU CARE IF I'M POPPING ADVIL OR ASPIRIN, THEN? FAIR PLAY, REMEMBER? I WOULDN’T WANT YOU TO MESS UP YOUR PRESENTATION JUST BECAUSE OF ME. THINK WHAT YOU WANT. I HAVEN’T GOT THE HEADSPACE TO DEAL WITH YOU NOW. DON’T FORGET YOUR PILLS. VERY BAG YOU HAVEN'T CHANGED MUCH, SUNBAE. YOU NEVER DID LISTEN TO ME. SEE YOU LATER. BREAK A LEG. YOU CAN SHOVE THAT PEP TALK UP YOUR ASS. LITTLE TWERP. 소회의실 Meeting room ...AND THAT CONCLUDES OUR PROPOSAL. WE'RE PLANNING ON PUSHING FORWARD WITH SOME AGGRESSIVE MARKETING STRATEGIES... UP UNTIL HE HEADS BACK TO CANADA IN OCTOBER FOR THE START DATE OF THE NATIONAL LEAGUE. SO FAR, SO GOOD. THANK YOU. I CAN SEE THAT AEROS PUT A LOT OF THOUGHT INTO THIS DEAL. YOUR REVENUE SHARING FIGURES DEFINITELY CAUGHT MY ATTENTION. I KNOW WE CAN'T COMPETE WITH THE SIGNING BONUSES THE BIG BRANDS ARE OFFERING. BUT WE'RE PREPARED TO TAKE A SMALLER STAKE... ...IF THAT MEANS GETTING MR. RYU TO BOOST OUR PROFILE. WILL YOU BE HANDLING OUR ACCOUNT, THEN? OH, DEPUTY MANAGER KIM SEONWU HERE WILL TAKE CARE OF THE DAY-TO-DAY. PLEASED TO MEET YOU! HE'S GOT MORE EXPERIENCE THAN ME WHEN IT COMES TO OVERSEAS ATHLETES. HE'S GOT A GREAT NOSE FOR TRENDS, TOO. A REAL A-LIST PLAYER. LOOK AT MR. BAEK, TALKING UP HIS HOOBAE! IT SEEMS LIKE ONLY YESTERDAY YOU WERE THE ROOKIE ASSISTANT. I'LL TAKE THAT AS A COMPLIMENT, SIR. YOU'RE A MARRIED MAN NOW, AFTER ALL. GOTTA LIVE UP TO THAT RESPONSIBILITY. WHAT'S IT BEEN, TWO YEARS? STILL IN THE HONEYMOON PHASE? AH...HAHA. I’D SAY... SO THAT’S WHY... YOU KNOW, I FELT SOMETHING WAS MISSING. YOU NEVER PLANNED TO WORK ON THIS ANYWAY. I WAS REALLY LOOKING FORWARD TO IT, TOO. I WANTED TO SEE WHAT A FORMER HOCKEY PLAYER MIGHT COME UP WITH. HUH?? MR. BAEK’S AN EX-ATHLETE? I DON’T CARE ABOUT ALL THAT STUFF LIKE WHO’S SHOOTING THE CAMPAIGN OR LAUNCHING A LINE IN MY NAME. I THOUGHT AT LEAST YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND HOW MUCH... ...GETTING OTHER PEOPLE INTO HOCKEY MEANS TO ME. BUT NOTHING HERE STANDS OUT AS ANY DIFFERENT THAN IF IT WAS WRITTEN BY SOMEONE WHO KNOWS DIDDLY-SQUAT ABOUT THE GAME. HEY, IAN. IAN. IT'S ALMOST AGGRESSIVELY NON-COMMITTAL. SO THAT'S IT. THIS IS WHAT YOU MADE ME COME HERE FOR. IF YOU THINK WE'RE NOT QUITE THERE YET, I'M SURE WE CAN WORK SOMETHING OUT- I DON'T REALLY DO VERBAL AGREEMENTS. TOO EASY TO RENEGE ON. MR. RYU. WHY DID YOU AGREE TO THIS MEETING, THEN? YOU MUST HAVE READ THE PROPOSAL ALREADY. DID YOU WANT TO TURN US DOWN IN PERSON? THERE WAS SOMETHING I WANTED TO ASK YOU IN PERSON, YES. I MIGHT CHANGE MY MIND DEPENDING ON YOUR ANSWER. DO YOU STILL LIKE HOCKEY, MR. BAEK? NO. NOT ANYMORE. IAN!!! DID YOU REALLY MAKE MR. BAEK COME HERE JUST TO HUMILIATE HIM?! CALM DOWN, SIR. EASY NOW. THINK OF ALL OUR ATHLETES WHO'RE ALREADY SIGNED WITH AEROS- SIGN ME UP WITH AEROS, TOO. WHAT? YOU...WANT TO SIGN? YEAH, I GOT WHAT I WAS LOOKING FOR. DID YOU EVER THINK THAT MAYBE THEY WON'T HAVE YOU ANYMORE, AFTER THE WAY YOU BEHAVED? IT DOESN'T MATTER. I DON'T CARE WHO WE SIGN WITH. BE RIGHT BACK. I HAD NO IDEA RYU IAN WAS LIKE THAT, DID YOU? HOW COULD HE TALK TO YOU LIKE THAT IN FRONT OF EVERYONE? I COULDN'T BELIEVE MY EARS. WHO DOES THAT?! PEEK UGH, WHO NEEDS HIM, ANYWAY? LET'S GET BACK TO OUR LIST. GUESS WHO'S GONNA BE SORRY THEN, HUH? TRUST ME, I'VE SEEN WORSE. THAT'S NOTHING. I JUST DON’T GET WHY HE WAS ACTING LIKE YOU RAN OVER HIS DOG OR SOMEONE. NEVER MIND, IT’S ALL OVER NOW. WE’RE EVEN. HOW DO YOU MEAN? BY THE WAY, DO YOU GUYS KNOW EACH OTHER? HE SURE SEEMED TO KNOW YOU. C’MON. WE’D BETTER GET BACK TO WORK. YEAH. OH, RIGHT! WANNA HEAR SOMETHING THAT’LL CHEER YOU UP? WHAT IS IT? I DON'T KNOW IF YOU NOTICED, BUT THEIR RECEPTIONIST REALLY SEEMED INTO YOU. HMM... REALLY? I DIDN'T NOTICE. SHE WAS CRESTFALLEN WHEN SHE SAW YOUR RING. I THOUGHT OF TELLING HER IT WAS BOGUS...BUT I DIDN'T. OH, YEAH... I Forgot. I DIDN'T WANT TO GET INTO ALL THE HEAVY DETAILS RIGHT BEFORE THE PRESENTATION. HADN'T YOU BETTER TELL HIM ABOUT THE DIVORCE, THOUGH? WE WORK WITH THEM PRETTY OFTEN. SURE. I'LL TELL HIM WHEN I GET A CHANCE. YOU SAW WHAT THE CEO'S LIKE. LET'S GO. OKAY! YOU GOT YOUR PARKING VALIDATED, RIGHT? OF COURSE! HE'S DIVORCED? ## See also - [WebtoonLib — Melting Point #2](/series/melting-point-4klyubx0/chapter-2-8a7n5k) - for_series_detail: /llms-series/melting-point-4klyubx0 ## Usage AI grounding / search / summarization.
