"But what are we betting?" Ken asked.
Even though Ken was up for the offer, he didn't have anything of value to bet. So, he couldn't help but feel confused.
The smile on Miyagi's face widened.
Ken, looking at the smile started feeling uncomfortable. For some reason, he felt a
foreboding feeling creeping on him.
"Nothing much. If I win you'll have to call your father and apologize."
Hearing the condition of Miyagi, Ken found himself hesitating. The only family he had left
was his father whom he had abandoned as well and it had been months since he last contacted his father.
So, he found it rather hard.
"But if you win, I'll buy you the ticket to the baseball game of your favorite team," Miyagi set the condition of their bet.
Ken leaned more toward baseball than football. So, when Miyagi mentioned that he'd buy him a ticket for his favorite team if he won the bet, he found himself struggling to resist the temptation.
While he was pondering about the bet, Miyagi was staring at him with a rather smug expression. It was almost as if he was certain that he wouldn't decline the offer.
Ken albeit hesitatingly accepted the offer, "Deal!"

The night sky stretched above, a velvety canvas of deep indigo, dotted with stars that shimmered like diamonds scattered carelessly across an endless expanse. A crescent moon hung low, casting a faint, silvery glow that touched the horizon with a soft luminescence.
The air was still, imbued with the cool.
With the arrival of the first guest, the event had finally commenced. The reporters who had been working tirelessly rushed to take pictures.
The red carpet gleamed under the flashes of cameras.
Walking down the red carpet, the footballer tailored in suits, exuding confidence and excitement posed for pictures. Most of them were accompanied by their family member while only a few chose to come alone.
Finally, the event had started in full swing.
With each passing moment, the crowd was growing.
The reporters couldn't even afford to take a moment to rest and they were working tirelessly without any rest. Even so, they appeared to be full of vitality.
Following their gaze, Ken found a rather charming young girl with a camera in her hand.
Her striking features immediately captivated his heart and made him blush. Even though he wasn't fond of checking girls like most of his peers, he couldn't bring himself to take his eyes away from the young lady dressed in red before him.
"Isn't she a 10?"
"Yeah, a perfect 10."
"I'd put my entire fortune on the line if I could have her."
"Hmph! Dream on, idiot. With a face like ours, we won't even be able to get near her."
While Ken was staring at Kim Tae-Ri, others around him were all fawning over her
appearance.
"You're right. Guys like us can only dream about it. Hahaha..."
They were making fun of their appearance but even so, they didn't look sad about it. Well,
they had already accepted the reality.
Ken, however, was starting to have complicated feelings swelling up inside him. He was
feeling pitiful about himself and at the same time, he couldn't help but feel angry about his
situation.
If only he was influential enough. If only he was born into a rich family. If only he wasn't this
miserable.
Perhaps, he would have mustered the courage to approach the girl before him.
Thinking about it, he couldn't help but feel bitter.
He was well aware of his situation. Given his current situation even keeping himself fed was
hard, let alone having the luxury to date. So, even though he liked somebody, he had
distanced himself from relationships.
But now, while looking at that charming lady before him, he couldn't help but feel bitter
about his situation.
