Chapter 9 : An-Teson's interrogation
The same night, in Yongha's room
" What's wrong with you, Yongha! Last year with Shindou! This year with Touya Akira!" Suyon shouted at his friend.
" Yeah, I've told you, Sensei, I should the representative," mocked Songkim.
" Sorry, But I don't remember that I allow you to come in," said coldly Yongha. Get out! Out! Out!
" Yongha! You!"
" You don't have to worry about me, Mind your own business, Songkim,"the most talented player stood up and faced him, " Why don't you go back to your room? I don't want to hear your excuse when you lost both of your games,"
" Yongha! You! YOU!" That last word really made his blood boiled.
" If we lose, it's because of you, the replacement!" the Korean first board sniggered.
" Yongha! How dare you!"
" Stop it! Wan-san, Bring Songkim back to his room," An-Teson told his interpreter.
" Sensei!" the dark-haired pro was about to protest.
" Go back to your room, Songkim, I have something to talk to Yongha," the older pro ordered him with his warning glare. Songkim knew what that look meant, he went out of the room angrily. There were 3 people left in the room : An-Teson, Suyon and the owner of the room, Yongha.
" So, Can you tell us what was that all about?" Placing his hand on his forehead, An-Teson asked calmly. Another bad impression of Korea. He sighed heavily.
" …I have nothing to tell you, Sensei," Yongha sat on his bed again.
" Are you sure, Yongha! When we're at home, you're not like this. It's not you at all! Is there something in the air or in the food we've eaten or something like that! Or the water is contaminated and poisons your mind!" the youngest pro marked by irony.
" Ouch, that's hurt. Calm down, Suyon, you don't have to say that," the Korean team leader teased playfully.
" Don't tell me to calm down! Why are you acting like this!"
" Do you have a fight with Touya Akira?" the team manager guessed.
"……A little," Yongha finally accepted.
" Can you tell me more about that?" An-Teson kept interrogating. What's the problem this time?
" He beat me in a game of snooker," Turning away, the long brown-haired boy uttered quietly.
" IS that it! You just piss off because you lost a game of snooker? Everything is because of that stupid game!" Suyon bursted out with an uncontrollable fury.
" It's not just a game!" the 5 Dans raised his voice.
" Then what is it? Yongha," the manager was still collected.
" It's just…I hate him, I really hate him,"
" Touya Akira? But you barely know him," the Korean manager said in surprise.
" I hate him. He always condescends the others," Yongha faked his voice, " Get out of the way, I'm Touya Akira, the heir of the Great Touya Kouyo, the ex- Meijin. You're not worthy,"
" You overreact, Yongha, I think he is…" Suyon didn't agree.
" I'm not overreacting,"
" But Shindou told me that he wasn't….,"
" Ha! It's because Shindou is a good friend, he is far too good for him. That arrogant kid isn't worth of him. I don't understand why Shindou can be friends with him. He's such a cheerful boy, How can a guy like him put up with that stuffy guy!" Yongha said it angrily.
" Yongha," Kurata's rival wanted to cut in but Yongha didn't let him do that.
" What about the way he acts? You know, he announces in public that he is Shindou's eternal rival, he's the reason Shindou becomes a pro. He acts like he owns Shindou, like Shindou belongs to him only!" I hate those eyes! His eyes!
"…So, is that what all about?" the older pro got the whole picture.
" What?"
" Shindou-kun, is he the reason that makes you hate Touya Akira?"
"…"
" I see, you like him a lot, don't you?"
"…."
" So, do you envy him?"
" What!"
" Touya Akira, do you envy him?"
" Me? Envy? You're out of your mind, Sensei," Me? Envy him?
" But it seems to me that you envy him," Although Yongha didn't accept that but An-Teson knew that he got it right.
" I don't have any reason to envy him, Sensei," Still denied, the Korean first board declared. Envy Touya Akira? Me?
" What about Shindou Hikaru?"
" He has nothing to do with this subject,"
" Really? I don't agree. I think everything that happened between Touya Akira and You is because of him,"
" You're wrong, Sensei,"
" It bothers you, doesn't it? That they're so close," the manager still believed in his thought.
"…"
" You want him to be your rival and your friend..to be by your side, You want to be like Touya Akira, am I right?" the manager hit the right question.
"…"
But there was one thing that he still wondered. " Tell me one thing, Yongha, is this about Go only?"
" What're you talking about! Of course, it's about Go!" What the hell is he talking about?
" No, I mean that you like him…a lot," An-Teson felt a bit awkward to say it. Oh God, I hope I'm wrong.
" Yes, I like him so what?" He's a cool guy to hang out with.
" Just because he's a strong player?" It seemed that his best player still didn't get it.
" Stop playing with me, Sensei, Ask me whatever you want,"
" If you say so, Do you like him?"
" I've told you that,"
"….in romantic sense,"
