I KNOW FIRSTHAND JUST WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO HAVE THE CROWD ROOTING FOR YOU AS A PLAYER...\nWOULDN'T YOU FEEL JEALOUS IF YOU WERE A LOSER, TOO?\nTHEN YOU’RE GOING TO COLLAPSE IF YOU WATCH IAN HYUNG PLAYING TODAY.\nI MEAN, YOU DON’T EVEN LIKE HIM.\n\nTHUNK\nUH... ...OH, THIS IS JUST WORK.\nAND WHO ARE YOU CALLING A LOSER?\nHOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU TO STOP PUTTING YOURSELF DOWN LIKE THAT??\nOKAY, OKAY.\nI TOOK MY MEDS JUST IN CASE, TOO. LET’S GO NOW.\n\nOH, LOOK! THEY'RE COMING OUT. GREAT TIMING.\nHEY, IT'S PARK YEONGJUN!\nTHAT'S MY BUD, HYUNG. NO. 92!\n\nNEXT TIME, IT'S GOING TO BE YOU ON THE STARTING LINEUP.\nAND I'LL BE WATCHING YOU. RIGHT HERE.\n...YOU BET!\n\nRYU IAAAAAAN!!\nIce Prince Ryu Ia\nRYU IAN!\nWOW, DO YOU HEAR THAT?\nHE'S PRACTICALLY AN IDOL.\n\nRYU IAN!\n\nOH...\nFLINCH\nHE SMILED AT US!!\nIce Prince\nRyu Ian\n\nHYUUNG!!

NEROVA'S RANKED HIGHER THAN KOREA, SO THIS WAS DEFINITELY A SURPRISE.\nTHOSE NUMBERS ARE BASED ON A CRITICAL ERROR, THOUGH.\nINDEED. KOREA'S CURRENT RANKING IS BASED ON FIGURES BEFORE RYU IAN JOINED THE TEAM.\nHE ONLY PLAYED TWO GAMES AT THE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIPS LAST TIME, AT THE VERY END.\nIT'S JUST AMAZING WHAT A DIFFERENCE HE MAKES TO THE ENTIRE TEAM AS A SINGLE PLAYER.\n\nI AGREE. THEIR OFFENSE HAS DEFINITELY GOTTEN MORE CREATIVE, AND TEAMWORK HAS IMPROVED, TOO.\nHE'S A POSITIVE INFLUENCE ON THE OTHER PLAYERS, THAT'S FOR SURE.\nFIRST PERIOD BEGINS!\nNEROVA ON THE ATTACK!\nCOMING RIGHT IN WITH A SHARP PASS!\n\nOH! PARK YEONGJUN BLOCKS IT!!\nYES!\nWATCH OUT, NEROVA'S GOING FOR THE KILL IN THE BEGINNING BEFORE EVERYONE'S WARMED UP!\nAAAAND, IT'S NEROVA ON THE ATTACK AGAIN.\nTHEY'RE PASSING THE PUCK AROUND.\nA LOT OF EXPERIENCED PLAYERS ON THIS TEAM.\nLOOK AT THOSE CLEAN PASSES. KOREA TO THE DEFENSE!\n\nBLOCKED BY THE GOALIE! TOO BAD.\nBUT HE MANAGED TO BREAK THEIR FLOW, THANKS TO SOME SPEEDY BACKCHECKING BY RYU IAN!\nTHAT'S RIGHT. HE'S THE QUINTESSENTIAL TWO-WAY FORWARD, IF YOU ASK ME. GREAT AT DEFENSE AND OFFENSE.\nRYU IAN INTERCEPTS NEROVA'S PASS, COMING ALL THE WAY DOWN TO THE DEFENSE LINE!\nKOREA STRIKES BACK! JEONG MINGYO SHOOTS!\nKOREA\n\nSUBS COMING IN NOW.\n...THAT NUMBER 23, HE PLAYS YOUR POSITION, RIGHT?\nYEAH, THAT'S KIM JAEWON, THE DEPUTY CAPTAIN.\nHE'S NOT REALLY GROOVING WITH THE DEFENSE LINE.\nI PLAYED WITH HIM JUST ONCE, AND YOU WON’T BELIEVE HOW STUBBORN HE IS.\nTHROWS A HISSY FIT IF YOU DON’T GO WITH HIS STRATEGY.\nI BET IAN HYUNG HATES HIM, TOO.\nDON’T LOSE THE PUCK TO THE OTHER TEAM LIKE A DUMMY, THEN.\nYOU CAN SAY THAT AGAIN.\nFOR THOSE OF YOU WATCHING AT HOME WONDERING WHY RYU IAN’S BEEN SUBSTITUTED ALREADY...\nALLOW ME TO EXPLAIN. I KNOW THAT NOT SO LONG AGO, A LOT OF KOREANS HADN'T EVEN HEARD OF ICE HOCKEY.\n\nMBS SPORTS\nICE HOCKEY IS AN EXTREMELY INTENSIVE SPORT, RELYING ON EXPLOSIVE BURSTS OF ENERGY. AS SUCH, FREQUENT SUBSTITUTIONS ARE THE NORM.\nON AVERAGE A PLAYER IS SUBSTITUTED AFTER ONE MINUTE WITH ANOTHER IN THE SAME POSITION, WITHOUT ANY PAUSE IN THE GAME. THIS IS CALLED A \"LINE CHANGE.\"\nAH! AS WE SPEAK, HERE'S RYU IAN AGAIN.\nKOREA\nAND THE CROWD GOES WILD!\nPASS!\n\nRYU IAN HAS THE PUCK.\nOH! IT'S THREE AGAINST HIM.\nTHAT'S FOUR TO ONE NOW!\nAND ONE MORE FROM NEROVA'S OFFENSE!\n\nHE NEEDS TO PASS THE PUCK FIRST!\nHUH?! HE JUST WENT STRAIGHT IN!!\nPAST THE DEFENSE, ONE BY ONE!\n\nAND SHOOOT!\nGOOOOOAL!!!\n\nKOREA SCORES THE FIRST GOAL IN FOUR MINUTES OF PLAY!\nIT WASN'T EASY THERE WITH THE REST OF THE TEAM STILL WARMING UP...\n...BUT HE JUST SAILED RIGHT THROUGH THE DEFENSE AND SCORED BY HIMSELF!\nSO PRECISE, AND SO POWERFUL!\nDID YOU SEE HOW THE PUCK STAYED ON HIS STICK THE WHOLE TIME?\nI THOUGHT SOMEONE MIGHT’VE GLUED IT ON IN SECRET!\nMY FIRST TIME WATCHING IAN REALLY PLAY...\nRYU IAN DOES IT AGAIN!\n...WAS BEAUTIFUL.\n\nTHOSE FLAWLESSLY EFFICIENT MOVEMENTS. THAT POWER, AND THOSE BRAINS.\nALL I COULD THINK OF WAS PURE BEAUTY.\nAND AS THE ELATION THAT EVEN I COULDN'T EXPLAIN HIT ME LIKE A SLEDGEHAMMER...\n...I REALIZED WHEN I HAD HEARD IAN SAY THOSE WORDS BEFORE.\n\nPROMISE. SAY THAT YOU'LL KEEP WATCHING TO SEE HOW MUCH I GROW IN THE NEXT THREE YEARS.\nEVEN IF WE'RE APART...\n...AS LONG AS I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING ME...\n...I CAN NEVER LOSE.\nIAN RYU\n...EUNPA, WHEN THE GAME'S OVER...\n\n...I THINK YOU'LL HAVE TO FIND YOUR OWN WAY HOME.","bubble_count":137,"pages_count":25,"source":"community"},"spoiler":{"level":"auto","safe_teaser":"Melting Point Chapter 33 depicts Ian's inner transformation during the Korea-Nerova exhibition game as Eunsan watches from the stands.","spoiler_summary":"Melting Point Chapter 33 depicts Ian's inner transformation during the Korea-Nerova exhibition game as Eunsan watches from the stands.
