Swimming Prodigy’s Return

Life isn’t fair and Kim Min-chul knows it...except it isn’t for the reason you are thinking. ...Min-chul is just too damn PERFECT!!! he has a tall height of 184 cm, a fast metabolism, perfect swimmer’s body without even trying and is unknowingly a ladies man! He makes girls fall for him without even knowing!!! How do you even do that?!?! Unfortunately however, he let this all get to his head. Not starting his swimming career until he was in junior high and barely making it into the international leagues. Even then, he would neglect his training regularly. With his 184 cm height, his constant slumping caused him to lose some height, eventually reducing to 176 cm. Even with his fast metabolism, he ate too much and rarely exercised; giving him a potbelly at 29. Despite his natural swimmer’s body, his shoulders got narrowed down and social skills now non-existent. Looking back at his life in high-school and college as a 40 year old salaryman making just above-average wage, he stares over Wariss Bridge and contemplates. Contemplating whether life is worth living or not... “Bwahahahaha!!! What the hell, author? Contemplating what, you liar! I just thought that the view was nice!” “...y-y-you...you’re courting death; insulting me, ancestor koppa!” That day, a strong gust of wind started the chain of unlikely events that would eventually take Min-chul’s life. ‘.....I died, huh?’ [beep boop zorp... I am making robot noises!] “What the hell?!?!” [Oh! You are host, yes? I am your system! Your swimming system!] NOTE: This story isn’t one of those “ sport is life” novels. This is the story of redemption for a man who lost everything due to his own negligence. He isn’t a swimmer, he is a regular guy with a life who is also happens to be a swimmer. Don’t get me wrong though, there will be tournament arcs and swimming tournaments but I will focus on a more slice of life type story for this novel.

Dirty Dinner

Yeon-min. Unlike most of my friends and acquaintances, he is quite unfit. Even though I hang out with the very diverse popular group since I know Young-jae, most of them are fairly fit.

If they aren't fit, they are at least thin. If they aren't thin, then they aren't popular.

From Young-jae's own mouth, he told me this. If you aren't thin, you aren't popular.

However, that all changed when I met Yeon-min. He was breaking all of the rules that I knew. All of the rules that Young-jae taught me.

Yeon-min is a very popular person from TYM, the same school as Beom-sok and A-yeong. Unlike Beom-sok who is fit and fairly handsome and A-yeong who is pretty, Yeon-min is different.

He isn't like the other boys, due to the fact that he is a very...big-boned gentleman. He is so big boned in fact, that when he stepped out of his white car, I saw it shake.

He had accidentally made a car shake with just the weight on his body. How strong must his legs be to hold him up? His posture isn't bad either...

The first time I met him was at the celebration party of me winning the 100 meter freestyle, 200 meter freestyle and getting other medals in the other categories.

Even though I didn't request for the party, So-young and A-yeong got their friends and organized a massive party. When I arrived, there were nearly 100 people.

Most of them didn't know what the party was about, but just that A-yeong, the beautiful model, or So-young, the aloof beauty, would be there.

As it turned out, So-young and A-yeong only invited about 20 people. Then, those 20 original invitees took a +1. Then, their +1 took another +1 and so on and so forth.

There, I met Yeon-min who was a +1 of one of So-young's close friends. By close friends, I mean a girl who doesn't bother chasing me.

Yeon-min had never met So-young, but the moment they shook hands out of courtesy, he brought the back of her palm to his greasy lips and called her madam.

Since then, he showed visible displeasure whenever I was around, more so when So-young was there. He is the type that believes that being an asshole is being a "real man".

Everyone knows that to be a real man, you must have a bigger penis than your best bro, and the one with the smaller penis becomes the wife.

The height difference between us is very visible as well, with me being 173 cm and still growing and he was stuck at 163 cm ever since he turned 12.

"Oy, whatcha thinking about, you oak tree? Like my car? It was 150 million won! Hahaha!"

"Waaaa~. It is really beautiful, isn't it, hyungnim?"

While looking down at him, I sarcastically call him a hyung. With his pea Brian however, he sees it as a sign of submission and starts trying to enforce that "hyung, sunbae" relationship.

"Great! You finally learned your lesson. Come come, let's go inside the restaurant together, I got invited and I guess I can have you as a plus one"

Even though his car is still parked in front of the restaurant on the crosswalk, he wraps his arm around my shoulder, but due to the height difference and his short wingspan, he needs to really hold on to my shoulder.

From the car emerged two beautiful women on their phones. One of them has a sparkly red dress and the other has a flowery white dress. Their makeup is light, but still noticeable.

Noticing that his entourage had exited the car, he smugly smiles at me and walks over to the ladies. He wraps his stubby arms around their slim hips and pulls them closer.

'...what? Did that girl just vomit? She definitely vomited! And that girl in the red dress why does she look like she is having a headache?'

As it turns out, the reason for their reactions was Yeon-min. Due to me having a slight cold from too much swimming, I couldn't smell him.

I lightly blow my nose and I wish I hadn't. Maybe century tofu? A corpse? Does he not shower? Did he possibly sell his bathroom to afford this car of his?

It's honestly embarrassing. Both these girls are only 165 cm and 167 cm but they are substantially taller than Yeon-min the lady killer.

"Ladies! Lemme introduce you girls to my this little sunbae of mine. This is Kim Min-chul and he handed me his girlfriend. Min-chul ah, red dress is Hana and white dress is Hwa-young"

The girls finally snap out of their sick fever dream of Yeon-min and start feasting on the delectable man in front of them. He is taller, built like an athlete and has a stone chiseled face.

I see their eyes light up and it makes me start thinking about these girls' well-being that they are so excited by seeing a regular good-looking person like me.

'Ahhh, should I give them a sign? "Blink twice if you are in danger", or something like that?'

"Nice meeting you two ladies. I'm Min-chul!"

"A-a-ahh...y-yes, let's get along"

"It's a very amazing thing finally meeting you. Yeon-min has said very good things about you in the past"

While shaking Hwa-young's, the white dress girl's hand, I make eye contact with her. Unlike Hana in the red dress, she even had the balls to lie in front of Yeon-min.

Of course, both of us know that she is lying. I know, she knows and I do hope that for the sake of Yeon-min's EQ, he also knows.

"Huh? I didn't- oh yeah! Min-chul! You are my favorite kinda guy, you know? Come now, let's stop the chitchat and walk in, shall we?"

'...that was too close. How the hell did he get into TYM- oh yeah. White luxury sedan explains it. Come to think of it, I remember the principal of TYM visiting our school in a sportscar a couple of years ago...

Im sure it's nothing. A coincidence at most.

With our formalities out of the way, the two girls and I follow Yeon-min to the room that we are meeting at.

Even though I was invited, I was still following Yeon-min's directions because I forgot which room we were meeting at.

When Yeon-min opened the door, I swear that I felt the atmosphere get colder. People laughing and chatting suddenly started whispering or stopped talking at all and those with a great big smile had a "oh look, it's him" face.

It's like in those old western cowboy movies where the outlaw enters the bar and he steps on that one creaky floorboard with a gun in his hand.

That is Yeon-min, except Yeon-min isn't fit to be an outlaw, nor is he fit.

When A-yeong and the other invitees saw me behind Yeon-min with a wry smile, the actually popular people understood what had happened.

We bumped into each other and I was forced to be friendly to Yeon-min when we were enemies. Nobody considered him a love rival.

Hell, in So-young's eyes, probably nobody is considered a love rival.

"Hey! A-yeong-....."

With his arms stretched out, he was completely prepared to receive A-yeong, a proper beauty's hug. He was anticipating it and he was expecting it.

After all, he is popular and rich. Who wouldn't want to hug him? That's probably what he's thinking.

"Ahhh, Min-chul!!! You are finally here! What took you so long~???"

"Sorry sorry, some traffic held me up"

As predicted, she runs straight past Yeon-min and into my chest. So-young, watching on the side, doesn't approve. Whooo boy.

Hopefully this dinner is a clean one. I wouldn't want some blood getting onto my BBQ.
