Chapter 2
Honor ceremony
At 20:00 on October 31, journalists, media agencies, and thousands of fans gather at the national airport to welcome home the triumphant athletes. Though officially a welcoming event for the entire team, in reality, the overwhelming enthusiasm is directed at just a few—namely, the ever-charming Truong Xuan and the national hero, Hoang Kim. Every overlooked team member sparks envy in some of them. They shed sweat, tears, and even blood to bring glory to their nation, only to end up as faint shadows for their teammates to shine.

Hoang Kim is a superstar. A black hole in human form, sucking in all the aura, fame, fortune, and women. Fangirls from every corner of the kingdom go into collective ovulation the moment he appears—each one flipping the simp switch so hard, it’ll take three lifetimes of reincarnation just to stop swooning at his smile. Some go online pledging to bear his children; others fantasize about waiting for him in bed, lost in dreams that soak their sheets with desire.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡysGjcF7x9f
Sports uphold the principle of fairness, yet these athletes endure unjust treatment despite dedicating their youth to the cause. The press chants the familiar mantra: "Solidarity is strength." The media clamors that "Everyone is for one, and one is for everyone." Meanwhile, frenzied crowds take to the virtual world, passionately lauding the achievements of all the athletes. But in fact, contrary to all the fake acclamation, the media and press scramble freely for the golden egg-laying chicken.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvrN4lzFzOc
Crazy fans—mostly fangirls of the national heartthrob—flood the internet every single day with wild confessions, claiming they want to bear children for their dream lover. Just a brief touch or a glimpse of his face in real life can trigger instant ovulation on the spot. Screaming like maniacs, they cling to Hoang Kim under the excuse of getting his autograph, all just to sneak into the frame of the live broadcast camera. Many wild girls shove the bodyguards around Hoang Kim; the whole team has to step in to stop their crazed frenzy.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2ckEx5bPw9
The champion offers a gentle smile and asks them to relax the protection temporarily. The frenzied fans are ecstatic. They seize the opportunity to wrap their arms around Hoang Kim’s shoulders for a selfie, some even puckering their red lips to kiss the hero on the cheek. The chaotic scene looks as though the hero might be pinned down at any moment—and only the fangirls know their true intentions. If there are no cameras and security forces, the poor champion could be sacrificed to satisfy the insatiable thirst of fangirls whose dreams soak their sheets. Watching sports is merely an excuse; flaunting their bodies, chasing the spotlight, and seducing sugar daddies are their true motives.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaM3idRi3W0
After a wave of shoving and chaos, the vultures finally swoop in to tear apart the prey’s remains:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDrww8xuek
"Can you tell us how you feel right now?"
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7abOj3WFh8
"Who would you like to dedicate this victory to?"
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡADSf76wGOV
"Your female fans here and across the country are dying to know—do you have a girlfriend? What’s your ideal type?"
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDLOOtOBz8
Hearing the last question, the fangirls don’t blush—they shout excitedly:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPtXDUYHsUD
- Hoang Kim, has your mother recruited a daughter-in-law yet?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBOhtwos8VU
- Hoang Kim, I want to be your bride!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtsfiMd6LQF
- I love you, Hoang Kim!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4KfmBJn9EC
- Manifesting Hoang Kim as my husband!!!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6FbeNbO1A

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIS5QlbNwPr
- Manifesting… just for my future boyfriend to be one-tenth as handsome as you, and I swear—I’d live and die for love!!!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnfvKqSHhs
- Manifesting the privilege to fold your laundry and tie your shoelaces every day to the point my fingernails fall off, and I still wouldn’t utter a single complaint!!!!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzpR71Z5xOG
- Manifesting the right to warm your bed every night—even when the heater breaks!!!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlIqveqIbcp
- Manifesting the chance to be Sam’s sister-in-law—even if it comes with a muddy, chaotic younger brother package!!!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5EG20xqDxR
- Manifesting to become Uncle Huge’s granddaughter-in-law, blessed with the legendary Hunter genes!!!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoZvmQUd0S4
- Manifesting… for my future son to be handsome, talented, and gentle with girls—just like you… so he can resemble the idol his mother spent her entire youth ovulating for!!!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmc4DrOh745
Envious eyes sting as they watch Hoang Kim smile amiably. The national hero graciously answers every question:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa1uqS8AlYK
- I want to dedicate this joy to all true fans, especially the gold medal to my mother! - He turns to the camera, placing a hand over the national flag on his chest - Mother, I love you! Thank you, everyone!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡibBsbIoVpf
He skillfully avoids personal matters, yet the age-old question persists:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCWIfzJts3
"Sir, do you have a girlfriend? If not, when are you going on a date?"
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQ5kVwE0FJ
Before the reporter can even ask about his ideal type, Hoang Kim smiles warmly:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWxAho2BOxh
- Did everyone forget that I have a wife?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPKxBrTjnBC
Fangirls clamor along with the vultures:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeTvx2PoBIP
"Your wife is from Hexagon country, not Prehistoric!"
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq4EzTY6i8
- You protected the Queen Regnant of Hexagon two years ago—she granted you permission to marry a second time. Now, you can choose to marry any Prehistoric or Hexagon girl!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxqbnTVr2zM
- Two years ago, you got married out of gratitude, not love!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqYSHs7dTuY
Hoang Kim laughs at the ridiculous scene and gives a short reply:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOOrYF8u3Us
- My girlfriend is track and field!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdm8UKWUATw
The entire crowd erupts in amazement at his clever response. The vultures and fangirls refuse to release their grip on Hoang Kim. He steps into the car, exhales deeply, loosens his tie, leans back in his seat, and watches the line of people chasing after the double-decker bus. A teammate beside him nudges his shoulder playfully and teases:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQyqIWQanQm
- So, did the national hero pick a girlfriend from the fangirl association?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1qeHVpzUv8
Hoang Kim gives a slight smile:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJmWanwqWLW
- My girlfriend's name is Athletics!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBQ696w8Ki4
Everyone laughs and jokes with each other. Hoang Kim doesn't reply but instead watches the streets receding through the glass window of the double-decker bus.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzgSR50yGCw
The architecture in this city contrasts as starkly as fire and water. On the left—the place Hoang Kim observes—stands a row of traditional three-room houses with two wings, their rustic simplicity familiar to the nation's people.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8i7vbPD8C
First-time foreign visitors, from diverse cultural backgrounds, often mistake the timeworn houses—with gracefully upturned eaves resembling boat roofs—for temples or pagodas.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡolhuI22xum
The temple and pagoda complex is adorned with intricate carvings of waves, flowing water, clouds, and sky, which gracefully swirl across the wooden doors. The once jet-black timber has faded over time, mottled with grayish-white stains that lend a melancholic hue to the solemn space.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBCJu2Z337i
Looming with a gloomy appearance, in some places, a faint scent of damp green moss creeps along the house walls. Swarms of parasites divide into factions, invading every corner. One battalion descends to the ground, capturing alleyways. Rows of lanterns strung along the alleys cast a dim, ethereal glow.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIbfFoBP0aX
Hoang Kim sees streams of bluish-gray kitchen smoke rising high. He closes his eyes and inhales the delicate aroma of burning agarwood, the rich scent mingling with fragrant grapefruit peels smoldering in the crackling stove fire. Traditions remain unshaken—the old city’s residents still kindle their stoves with firewood and agarwood, layering grapefruit peels on the stove to eliminate harmful fumes.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH1zQfRvVjo
The heat from the fire roasts skewers until golden brown, each dripping with glistening fat, while pots of stewed bones boil vigorously, releasing a deep, savory sweetness. Hoang Kim's mouth waters with longing. He often trains and competes, adhering to a strict athlete's diet, unable to savor his favorite dishes. Hoang Kim clicks his tongue, watching people enjoy their food at the sidewalk stalls.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNpDtJtZmtc
Many first-time visitors wince at the strong aroma of oil and grease, mingling with the damp, musty air in the alley. The instinctive preference for cleanliness and aversion to filth gradually fades for long-time regulars. Hoang Kim is no exception—initially, he found it unpleasant, but over time, he became addicted to the sharp, acrid scent. He knows the smell would be even more overwhelming if not tempered by the smoke and fire.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp3FPoVPlT7
The scorching heat diminishes the moss-soldiers of the upper army, yet it cannot stop the mighty force of this large army from staining the walls green and climbing up to the rooftops. They cling stubbornly to the yin-yang tile roof. Parasites hopelessly soil the tiles, which sparkle beautifully like lapis lazuli.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPt78PGg0Lm
Over the years, vibrant colors have accompanied the ancient, moss-covered architecture. Many nostalgic souls liken this ethereal demeanor to that of the elegant scholars and literary figures of ancient times. The tranquil scenery is perfect for those who cherish quiet solitude, like Hoang Kim.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkDGLxACf99
Those who crave vibrancy are drawn to the dazzling streets opposite the row of ancient houses. Their appearance is as luxurious as that of a modern-day princess. 'She' takes on countless chaotic forms, with a mismatched structure. Everywhere, towering skyscrapers rise high, with shapes like sharp spires, standing boldly like gods. Each floor of the tower glows brightly with lights, appearing from afar like a fire phoenix dancing amidst the vast sky and earth.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4MG1Zrjaw
Beneath those towering silhouettes, tiny single-storey brick houses huddle in the shadows. Their impoverished owners pay no attention to the peeling brick walls, the dark grey tile roofs, the broken bricks mixed with intact ones, or the crooked doors that seem ready to fall off their hinges. This wretched appearance is seen as a disgrace to the bustling and lively street life.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡArAfGGuDFC
On the bustling, glamorous streets, people hurry past, each caught in the rush of the crowd. Couples break away from the throng and step into fashion boutiques, where the finest clothes are displayed on mannequins, stretching from the interior to the storefront.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQHclgRYXLW
The girls focus intently on selecting, the mannequins sway gently, and the female customers squint with laughter as they watch the human-shaped models joyfully dance to the loudest music coming from the adjacent ballroom and bar.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLlSgWpJXUe
Howls and stampings clash on the dance floor, and the chaotic sounds rage through the streets day and night. The noise, combined with the stage lighting, rotates continuously, casting ethereal five-colored lights on faces filled with desire.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT5jUN0fNOY
Men and women high on drugs entwine and dance in a sensual dance, touching each other passionately as if no one is there. Slutty girls moan in their lovers' arms, their dull eyes suddenly lighting up when someone shouts:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn1To1mzfcS
- Hoang Kim will attend the honor ceremony at the lobby of Fame Hotel.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7vMd0lS6xs
All the girls scream with excitement, simultaneously pushing away the hands of their lovers who are groping for private places, and without a word, they rush into the street in a race to get back to the hotel. Food falls from mouths, and the boyfriends angrily curse Hoang Kim, digging up his eighteen generations to hurl insults at him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpo7y3GE9H
- Hoang Kim's dog bitch mother!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg2aGvrlck2
- Dad will kill you, Hoang Kim dog!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCsiw7nwYq7
A girl forgets to pull up her panties but still confidently holds her phone, livestreaming:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqWMjWnFrJ1
- I’m going to see my husband, Hoang Kim!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgDL9HYEaGI
The wind blows the skirt, billowing like the flag of an uprising.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1cjqOHgSwU
The boyfriend, pulling up his pants while chasing behind, has a face as red as a fighting rooster:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqdOBk6LXd4
- Are you crazy? The matter's not even finished yet, and you're already off chasing stars!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXk2JjXqVx7
The crowd goes wild, crashing together like sardines thrown into a boiling hotpot. Curses, heavy breathing, and the scream of livestreamers:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkntDEM9Rwk
- Comment, everyone! I’m about to meet Hoang Kim!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbVrYwtdPw2
Her voice resounds like a battle thunderstorm.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9El5SM0gbv

Fame is one of the largest hotels on the planet, meeting and exceeding all strict international standards. The hotel has 30 floors, each with its own unique standard—the lower floors offer affordable rooms, while the upper floors ascend in luxury, corresponding to social status.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9C2KxfDyru
The facilities in the rooms on each floor are clearly differentiated—the higher the floor, the more modern and expensive the amenities. Most of the guests are affluent individuals, powerful figures, nobles, and entertainment stars. Dressed in globally renowned brands, they have gathered in the lobby, eagerly awaiting Hoang Kim.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡV5c7n7tN4H
Outside the hotel, three large groups of frantic girls have gathered:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHXaKr7rxEd
The first group consists of female students from the country of Prehistoric, each holding a piece of paper and a pen tightly in her hands.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKOa7FvGvyN
The second group is made up of international female students, wearing green eye shadow, bright red lipstick, and a variety of fashionable outfits—some dressed half-covered, half-revealing, hoping to catch the attention of their male idols; others wear bold and revealing outfits, eager to steal their heartthrobs’ hearts.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZB0wMtzL0
The third group consists of foreign beauties with blonde hair, blue eyes, and fair skin, dressed in revealing clothes, showing off everything they could. Each one clutches her phone tightly, as if it is her lifeline.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDUbsxiEfNS
Despite their different skin colors and languages, they all share a common goal—to secure a good spot and get closer to the national male idol. The scene is nothing short of a "Battle of the Uterus Awakening," a cross-national-level collective ovulation!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfcioGO3Qri
On the other side, reporters, television staff, and radio broadcasters are also caught in battle, fully equipped. They carry cameras, hold microphones, and wear recording equipment on their shoulders, with tripods, camera flash, and flying cameras (flycams) all in action. It is as if they aren’t there to conduct interviews, but to launch a media warfare. Each person’s gaze is like a thermal sensor, locked on their targets, ready to "fire" at any moment—of course, "fire" here refers to frantically pressing the shutter button and recording footage.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJu0Q0KvZOb
Surrounding them is a team of bodyguards, closely monitoring the situation. In the center of the crowd, the organizers of the honorary ceremony have installed two rows of luminous stone lights earlier in the afternoon, with blue light gleaming across the red carpet that stretches from the hall all the way to the main road.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBnQ68OCFC8
After lurking for hours and waiting impatiently, the target finally appears as a double-decker bus comes into view from the distance. The crowd erupts in excitement, louder than if they win the lottery. Fangirls, as usual, shout love confessions, while the media pan their video cameras and snap photos continuously. Even before the bus arrives, flashes from camera lights already fill the street.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFEvrquDNiP
The bus slows and stops in front of the hotel. As soon as the doors open, a sea of people immediately surges forward. Ear-piercing screams erupt like a tsunami, drowning out the loudspeakers and completely overpowering the voices of reporters congratulating the national team athletes on their outstanding achievements.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGk81xn94MK
Fangirls push forward, raising their phones, banners, and LED boards—some even bring massive streamers, hanging them from the second floor all the way down to the sidewalk:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFONxlBoF3x
Oppa Truong Xuan, stop running—you're tired, baby! Dive straight into my fiery heart!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrb16gdno1
OPPA TRUONG XUAN! STOP RUNNING TOWARDS THE FINISH LINE, JUST DIVE INTO MY ARMS ALREADY!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOUQX0caBu4

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRUkQ1KpZl
The man of my life, infinitely handsome
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bo1CjhXKP
A group of youngsters, just blooming at the age of a new full moon, hang captions and banners all over the streets leading to the hotel:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzg0PYZaX3F
Swear to God! If you step out of formation, I’ll step out of my ex’s heart!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcODVuqic0i
No matter where you run, I’ll say goodbye to my single life and run after you.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjJt1rGzcfO
Win or lose? Don’t care. As long as you exist, my heart’s on seismic mode!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwEMTICltRN
I need a victory to celebrate in the streets, but I need a handsome guy like Truong Xuan to run into my heart even more!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvL6jIUtaCq
If tomorrow’s the apocalypse, I’ll drop all my eggs tonight for my dreamboat!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjMI8XZcZcu
A charming dreamboat with the flair of a leading man from the Land of Frost—witty, graceful, and well-mannered. His single-lidded smile alone is enough to make fangirls swoon and chant his name: Truong Xuan.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcQajlPiNB
One-lidded eyes of mass destruction, a killer smile that sends fangirls into cardiac arrest!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMNUnRw7FM
No need for top speed, no need for record-breaking achievements—just one perfectly dreamboat-style smile from the Land of Frost, paired with gentle charm and subtle flirting, is enough to melt countless fangirl hearts like snow under the sun.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgGsdfl0e4f
Other fangirls are already in a frenzy, waving meme signs as they cheer for their idol:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzoro7TmroY
It takes 10 seconds to run 100 meters, 1 second to run into my heart, and a lifetime to stay by my side.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoHA54c8Hvg
Sports achievements are secondary, it's the achievements that make me ovulate that really count.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEYrAi3qfI
my oppa, my husband, my national husband!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9Ub0odQrL
oppa, don’t run to the finish line—run into my burning "heart". It’s on fire for you!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5m2K2wpe5U
National Husband, don’t run anymore—just run into my heart!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPyw42EMDv
Run into my heart the way you sprint toward victory!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmV4uJ5gBeH
The finish line of my life is the white line, but the finish line of my destiny is you!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvtBlpx4DRJ
My heart isn’t a stadium—why do you keep barging in, Truong Xuan?!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQGEpGM5g4
Truong Xuan—my oppa, your smile saves the world and warms the place where you’ll make babies with me!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA98r92KeEt
Unmatched visuals, one eyelid, total heart annihilation mode.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTR523cjJdd
Hoang Kim—your godspeed strides are making me emotionally unstable level 999+!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKts2lg1V54
Got the idol, that's a done deal, no need to ask!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsluNy5hEe2
Hoang Kim, Truong Xuan, oppas! Don’t just sign our shirts—sign our marriage certificates too!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiAlemT31Ia
It’s the first time I’ve seen someone sprint into a stadium and straight into the source of my existence like that, oppppaaaa!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzBfLOOH6RZ
Screenshotting every frame of Truong Xuan’s smile to make memes, avatars, and stickers:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcB1IQpSxRI

Oppa Truong shooting hearts
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqkAno6Paxs
Despite mental preparation and a detailed plan in place, the security team still can't reach the athlete delegation. Fangirls lose their minds—screaming, shoving, and surrounding the bus while shouting their idols’ names. They hold up banners and fire off heart gestures like cannon blasts, pushing against barricades, to storm the restricted zone while shouting through megaphones:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xwDEqtfWi
- Darling, I volunteer to be your shoes, so every step you run takes you into my heart.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcxvNM0xMYC
- TRUONG XUAN!!! SMILE ONE MORE TIME AND I’LL DIE HERE!!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJDwqn5AEb
- I volunteer to be your hotel—please step into me!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5jJXa1A2nf
- The spring wind blew Truong Xuan into my heart—soft as breath, yet strong as fate!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGozPdfp9O3
- I don’t need a medal—I just need your single-lidded smile!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvwYhXb6YWa
Hoang Kim and his teammates step off the bus as TV reporters rush to congratulate the national athletes on their outstanding achievements. Camera lenses and video cameras whip around frantically, firing like machine guns. The entire area erupts into fangirl shrieks and thunderous cheers, as if heaven itself is roaring.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyPwlTVUB1
Women—the wives of the world—shout each athlete’s name as if calling their husbands home for dinner. They hold up their phones with trembling hands, chanting slogans more synchronized than those of a global sports cheer squad.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWjpVZ4PUV3
- Hoang Kim! Truong Xuan!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe9y8vMt3cj
- I Love You!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7FL2kXgN4N
Quicker than usual, the cameras and photographers swing around to capture the most delicious prey. Hoang Kim smiles, graciously responding to the 'warm affection' coming from all directions. He pauses now and then to take selfies with fans, never turning down a single autograph request.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPC2v21qWs
The girl, eager for an autograph on her shirt, shyly says:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3PMyEtSXMY
- Hoang Kim! Truong Xuan! Please sign my shirt—right here on my bust!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwZVoSNPS6
She pretends to be shy while subtly pushing her well-endowed bust towards them, clearly aiming for a signature on her cleavage. Hoang Kim and Truong Xuan are already used to such awkward situations; they stifle a chuckle and lightly sweep their pens a few times across the shirt. The girl takes the pen back from her idol, her eyes gleaming with infatuation.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2QjuhKyRJa
Meanwhile, others who have missed their chance to take a picture with the national crush look on in longing, standing on tiptoe as they try to catch a glimpse of him—still stranded outside, surrounded by a sea of fans, unable to even make it to the hotel entrance.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh5WD9w0q0Q
Some teammates bury their jealousy deep inside, while his close-knit circle of friends casually sling their arms around him, laughing and cracking jokes.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRjdt67bSYS
Among them is a guy with jagged bangs and a crew cut, a muscular build, big ears, a long face, and high cheekbones. Whenever his thin lips curl into a mischievous grin, the dark circles around his eyes light up with playful glints.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXIIYZjdbfC
- You’ve taken all the fame. Why should I stick with this thankless job? I’m quitting tomorrow and going back to the countryside to chase chickens for my wife!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSKolhW83Ot
Fangirls are already used to this kind of teammate-roasting banter. Since that legendary tournament year, each member has won a gold medal, and the athletes have become national heroes—not just in the sports world, but in the hearts of genuine fans across the country.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAHEWX6bptY
Fangirls worship the national idols, with none more divine than Hoang Kim, who has shattered every existing record with his one-of-a-kind achievements.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdCpU8slwto
The media has hailed Hoang Kim as a living saint, die-hard fans have praised him as a national hero, and fangirls have worshipped and adored him as their global crush, dreaming of becoming the chosen daughter-in-law of the prestigious Hoang family.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBFxhCsgByJ
To his rivals, Hoang Kim has been a god. To the media, a golden-egg-laying chicken. To the nation, the perfect son-in-law. The heat that warms the "hearts" of fangirls still doesn't burn as intensely as the heat ignited by another star athlete—one with short, spiky hair styled in an undercut, a square face, and bold sideburns running down to his chin, paired with a complexion so flawless it mocks the sun itself. Every girl dreams of that sun-proof skin.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ5o17FzjXi
Jealous of skin that defies the weather, fangirls mesmerized by masculine beauty, enchanted by a radiant smile.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1T9QsffmX5
Every time he signs an autograph for a fan, his single eyelid vanishes with that heart-melting smile.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3dg09yLs5
He can't rack up countless victories like his teammates, but he always crosses the finish line first in the hearts of fangirls whose ovaries are the quickest to drop.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjF38W6BygK
For dreamy fanatics who imagine him running straight into their 'hearts,' athletic achievements are merely the dessert. The true main course—the one that sends boy-crazy fans into a frenzy—is his smile, which melts fangirls' hearts and outshines the sun at the center of the stadium.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl209H1Omc7
His affectionate and tender gaze captivates hearts every second, igniting an unrelenting surge of "ovulatory emotions" 24/7.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF9fcmVRFct
He is Truong Xuan—not the fastest on the track team, but a legendary heartthrob, the most handsome and funniest of them all.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGXSaghec4E
- You don't know, Tom 'Farm'? You’re always running outside year-round—your wife’s probably got someone else chasing the chickens for her by now! What a heartbreaking reality for the national track team captain!

Their captain, real name Tom Pham, hasn't been just a top-tier athlete. He has also been the biggest livestock and seafood tycoon in the western provinces. Because of his unique background, his teammates love to mess with him—twisting his surname Pham into “Farm.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ6nYIc8sdM
Tom winces, frowning in mock agony:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ2vxKjCjea
- That’s harsh, bro. Don’t you feel bad for me at all?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsICBmOgwrY
Truong Xuan smiles with his trademark eye-squint, voice full of cheeky bitterness:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv0Pxxz0nwM
- Stupid question, of course not!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaYvXdBATXh
The mischievous brotherhood erupts in hearty laughter. They are the most skilled athletes, and the thickness of their facial skin rivals the countless glorious victories on the international stage. No one worries that the media will 'cook up' this joke into a foul-smelling hotpot.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP5AjxRhWHo
The media goes crazy, 'jerking off,' writing, analyzing, and exaggerating, turning the joke—an association of brothers with different surnames—into a sensational trending topic that is even hotter than Hoang Kim breaking records. The lavish feast still isn't enough to satisfy the vultures. The omnivorous swarm, like a horde of zombies, scrambles to devour the scene of fangirls shrieking with laughter, each one swooning over the athletes—calling them funny, adorable, talented, and as handsome as movie stars.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpAFbpr3Mij
Whenever fangirls praise the handsome guys' appearance, the team’s achievements and records are overshadowed by the shining light of the handsome Hoang Kim and the heartthrob Truong Xuan. With every step they take, fangirls scream, calling out 'husband, husband,' as if they are choosing their prince at a global husband selection ceremony.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLTz7XswDqD
Camera flashes flicker wildly as the media scrambles to capture the moment when fangirls, like seductive spider-succubi, weave their webs tightly around the two top-tier prey. The feverish, man-crazy clan screams Hoang Kim's name, cooing, 'My dearest husband, I've been waiting for you since morning. Meanwhile, they go wild over the 'world sports god' Truong Xuan’s flawless side profile. The handsome athletes haven't even smiled yet, but fangirls and the media have already reached the peak of their excitement simultaneously.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK2EEiLg45
Truong Xuan glances at a sea of pink banners, LED lights, and sparkling slogans flashing like fireworks, fluttering above a crowd of people:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc1meTNxe3j
Oppa!! My husband number one!! National idol!!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ93nDi5LqN7
Oppa Truong Xuan—The fastest god running straight into our hearts!!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgavIF5kaca
The female student’s face is as red as a ripe gac fruit as she holds up a sparkling LED sign that reads, “Darling, come home with me.” Her hands tremble as if she is about to faint. Truong Xuan's lips part in a smile, his classic expression dancing in the hearts of the man-crazy crowd, freezing them in place.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOKZD8VBeQm
In that moment, his eyes and lips curve into a mischievous smile—snarky when aimed at his older teammate, yet irresistibly sweet when facing the fangirls. The girls in the ovulation kingdom instantly feel bombarded with emotions—their hearts race faster than in a 100-meter sprint.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJOL4tqKl7O
Their faces flush with excitement as they hold their phones, snapping pictures of each sweet smile and recording every gentle gaze, as if cherishing a hundred ovulations happening all at once.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCOMAEFaAiM
Despite final exams looming, the female college students don't care at all. They aren't the least bit worried about slipping on banana peels from lack of study—what truly terrifies them is missing the prey they’d been drooling over for ages.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpTDScF5JNp
The 'boy-hunting squad,' craving bananas, shows up in exaggerated makeup and their sexiest outfits, flaunting proud cleavage and sizzling curves. Together, they roll out a banner even bigger than a traditional wedding sign:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtHrT9WTdh
My mom gave birth to me just so I could admire this smile!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYSn7qdV2C2
Oh my god, so cute I’m lost, Oppa woo woo~
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyT16Hs2ZFQ
A high school fangirl trembles uncontrollably as she raises a photo of her idol smiling with his eyes nearly closed:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTFy3zwswxA
If you keep smiling, I’ll really ovulate… please don’t smile anymore.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡghRLsKGFyt
I don’t want high scores, I just want you to sign on my clothes… preferably the wedding dress!!!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuuRBn6WD9
In another corner of the bustling crowd, jostling for the best spots, fangirls cosplay as every adorable and eye-catching character imaginable, breaking barriers, clamoring to "have Truong Xuan's children," and vowing to remain single for life in devotion to Hoang Kim.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi2GyJNPLMe
Each fan club wears custom red-and-yellow outfits that match the national team uniforms, headbands emblazoned with slogans like “Truong Xuan Team – Ovulation Club” and “Addicted to Hoang Kim – Devotion Society” as they rush forward together, screaming:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsKeOl4L7m
- Oppa’s smiling at me!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VOTi3uG75
- No, he’s smiling at me!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYjeGY7GwaS
Tom Pham shoves his hands in his pockets, glares down at his teammates from head to toe, and mutters just loud enough for the whole team to hear:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYdyVt7cOq
- The captain’s just background scenery now. The spotlight’s on these two brothers every time they make the world shake with laughter. Flashbulbs brighter than Lunar New Year. One grin, and the girls lose their minds. I kneel…
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqnB20XG1fc
A scruffy, hippie-looking teammate roars with laughter:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNoBxvvFPuz
- Fangirls remember every jersey number that guy Truong Xuan has ever worn more than their parents' birthdays.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1sUcHwIqZ
Tom scoffs:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡif0LO5q2vW
- Who cares about achievements? Whether he sprints to the finish line fast or slow doesn't matter; as long as he runs into the fans' hearts, wherever he goes, girls shriek like idols just landed from the Land of Frost. I swear, if that provocative smile could be cloned, the male species of all humankind's handsome men would go extinct.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSm1tySoVHM
Everyone chuckles. Hoang Kim teases:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYQmBeinxU
- And you still think you’re the most handsome guy on the team?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0pAS7C0V5G
- Well... I’m handsome in a real man’s way, while you two are handsome in a hormone-stimulating kind of way!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpB84qmDd59
A slender teammate about as tall as the captain claps Tom on the shoulder:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKaZr05am0v
- Face it, bro. These fangirls even know his shoe size by heart. Compared to him, you're shrimp.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ1fTqUQwE6
Tom Pham shoots a sharp side-eye at the guy who mocks him, his expression dark and simmering—something along the lines of 'you better watch yourself':
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx61tEUM8uW
- Normally, he's like a wilted radish, but one smile turns him into a thousand-year-old ginseng, radiating charm that sends fangirls into collective ovulation frenzy.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8uYAy9zxb
Fangirls keep screaming non-stop, pledging their devotion to the “motherland” — but only fools fail to see that, to those boy-crazy creatures who'd still ovulate in their next life, the “motherland” is just hot men in red, blazing like the sun.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP746gCmmww
The vultures scatter and swoop in, surrounding their prey, incessantly pecking at it without any sign of boredom. A heavily made-up female host points the microphone at Tom Pham, her tone passionate and excited, like a bloodthirsty news hound:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoeh5mW6j7i
"Captain, how do you feel when all the media attention and fangirl love goes to Hoang Kim and Truong Xuan?"
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRQODBmvhl8
Tom doesn't need to think for more than 1.5 seconds. Hands in his pockets, he smirks and replies:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEmsqr6e7IN
- I’m used to it. I’m the captain. They’re national sweethearts. Smile—squint—BOOM straight to the girls’ hearts. These two aren’t athletes, they’re estrogen-triggering biological weapons. Let’s be real: medals are just the side dish. What the ladies really crave is that sugar-loaded smile—sweeter than boba tea with double toppings!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1uWsKbkxLv
The reporter nods as she jots notes. A veteran cameraman can't help but exclaim:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ43Rx9qFskj
“Absolutely spot on—no edits needed! I’ve filmed countless athletic events, but I’ve never seen fangirls go this nuts. It’s like the biggest idol in the Land of Frost just landed!”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLJErgY64P
Tom lets out a heavy sigh and drops a soul-piercing line:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyJYcQhnDQl
- I run five world-class laps… and he just smiles once—and boom, fireworks in the sky. I may be the captain in name, but he’s… a meteor from space. He doesn't win the track, but he wins the entire Kingdom of Ovulation.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pwIUrE7ll
The female reporter turns her head and sees Truong Xuan waving to the fans. The world explodes once more with deafening shrieks, as girls fight tooth and nail for the chance to call him husband. Some of the bolder ones even fantasize about dating both dreamboat at once. Chaos and feverish adoration are nothing new to her. Fans shout their idol's name, their voices completely drowning out all other sounds—whether faint whispers or deafening noise. Flags flutter in the air, colorful confetti explodes everywhere, and banners, phones, tablets, along with various high-tech devices, fill the entire view, completely covering the space.

A fangirl wearing a headband that reads “Oppa Truong Xuan—I'll give birth, no wedding needed” dashes forward with an LED board, screaming:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtJNfWUCgeM
- Oppa! Don’t run to the finish line, you must be tired! Run into my heart instead—it’s burning for you!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJbcNXPPEZZ
Another girl with bubblegum-pink hair waves a glowing lightstick that says “Pregnant from Your Smile” and shrieks like she is on the verge of fainting:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEfVm6IztR
- Oppaaaa! Don’t run into the hotel—run into my WOMB instead!!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc4mQPnAZr8
Before the security guards can react, a fangirl in a high school uniform leaps over the barricade like a pro athlete, forming a heart with her hands as she races toward Truong Xuan:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuo7l4jdc8s
- Oppa! I don’t need medals—I just want one smile a day… and a baby that looks like you!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYvtC2IMMlf
The girl crashes into the security guard like a moth to a flame, tumbling to the ground. Trembling, she still manages to hold up her handwritten sign:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLZt8msdUw0
Your Smile = Electric Shock to My Heart ❤️
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyjJgmgPxAs
A fan cosplaying as a nurse holds up a sign high:

And a group of fangirls dressed as the Land of Frost cheerleaders raise glow batons and chant in perfect unison:

43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46UZoziIKN
Truong Xuan walks through a storm of camera flashes, suppressing his smile. Yet the moment his lips lift even 0.3 centimeters, the entire street explodes with fangirls’ screams piercing the sound wave.

My mom scolds me, saying, ‘You’re a girl, you should focus on studying instead of flirting shamelessly, following idols everywhere all day!’ She even tells me to take down Truong Xuan's poster. But I scream back, ‘Mom, you don’t understand true love!'
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzegrVIJajk
After exposing mom, the fangirl immediately posts a picture of Truong Xuan in jeans and a tank top, showing off his ripped six-pack and an international-level physique. His arms, adorned with mysterious tattoos, add to his elegant and charismatic aura. No one in the group can stay calm anymore—comments explode, and screams fill the chat:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAVAYE31IwJ

Major websites and news outlets, seizing the heat, almost simultaneously start live broadcasts. The cameras zoom in on an elderly woman across the street, trembling as she waits for the traffic light to change.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsa1vR08sHh
Hoang Kim and Truong Xuan cut through the crowd, rushing toward the elderly woman. Like a scene from a slow-motion movie, every step seems to invade the hearts of thousands of devoted fangirls.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe0ez8xEElw
Truong Xuan is slower than his older brother, and he's also blocked by two beautiful young fangirls who stumble due to the jostling crowd and fall right in front of him. Instinctively, Truong Xuan reaches out with his left hand to support the petite, gentle high school girl, while his right hand gently wraps around the waist of the curvy, seductive, and graceful college girl. Their fiery bodies radiate scorching heat in his embrace. A brief moment of silence, then an explosive burst of extreme excitement… witnessing… the romantic hero rescuing the damsel in distress. Truong Xuan softly asks:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcZJJn6j7Sb
- Are you both okay?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbv5wk7wscJ
His deep and warm voice, combined with his soul-piercing gaze, immediately captivates the fans’ hearts. The high school girl’s cheeks turn red, shyly avoiding his gaze, while the college girl gazes at him with longing, her eyes like water. Truong Xuan senses that both of them are floating on cloud nine. He is sure that if he doesn't end this situation soon, these two girls will remain lost in their racing hearts... leading to a frenzy—jealous fans screaming nonstop, filming, snapping pictures, capturing every moment that is even more romantic than a drama scene.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxoKdFgGGXv
So, he cleverly and gently releases his hold. He smiles gently and says:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkNwilZpJOq
- Next time, be careful. If you two get hurt, I’d feel guilty and lose sleep over it!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdfIdDjOwNW
This line, imbued with the charm of a male lead straight out of a romance novel, is like igniting a bomb ready to explode with fanatic energy. Reporters, bodyguards, and passersby cover their ears, yet the deafening screams still leave them dazed as the crowd goes wild over the sweet idol.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAvtw9mnJjo
Truong Xuan squints as he observes the schoolgirl Tuyet Le. She seems like she wants to say something but hesitates, shy under the envious stares of the crowd, who scrutinize her every move. She tucks a strand of hair behind her ear, avoiding their gaze. Truong Xuan discreetly glances at the silver bracelet on her graceful wrist.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOurUIZVtb
The handsome man has always been measured and careful with his words and actions, never displaying any behavior that could be misinterpreted as affection toward his fans. Now, he remains as calm as ever.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfJRBBPXscD
The handsome guy's gaze sweeps over the beautiful and shrewd female university student, who without hesitation gives him a smile, her posture coy and demure, like a young girl just coming of age. Truong Xuan presses his lips together slightly, realizing that she is feigning embarrassment to hide the fact that she knows he is not unfamiliar with the schoolgirl.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwciKGUfgao
The schoolgirl freezes for a moment, sensing that he has just barely suppressed a smile. Her intuition tells her that Duong Quang—the college student who tutors her—and Truong Xuan know each other. Naturally, the two of them have to pretend not to know each other to avoid any unnecessary trouble.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmrxgYf2WUc
But…
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlh3kn5Z0Y
The schoolgirl feels a strange sensation. She can't explain why she feels this way about two people she knows well and is close to... yet she has always firmly believed that these two don't know each other at all. Now, the people she cherishes and trusts are playing the role of enthusiastic fans, interacting with the idol to cover up their secrets in front of the media.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ63O2VxH5Bc
Her chaotic, yet bewildered thoughts are abruptly interrupted by the deafening cheers. Around the schoolgirl, the enthusiastic fans remain completely oblivious to the strange behavior and unusual expressions of the three, still going wild over the idol’s mesmerizing smile.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSjujGtK2xS
- Please, Oppa Truong Xuan, bless me so I can get into college, improve my skin, get a nice body, and find a husband just like you!

- Like brother, like brother. The younger brother steadies the fans, the older brother helps the elderly—both brothers are the legendary ‘perfect children’ everyone wishes for.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbeONFf4Fw7
This last line successfully draws everyone's attention to Hoang Kim. The fangirls' screams shatter the sky once again, and the scene erupts in excitement once more.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNjL5h9fbG
Truong Xuan sighs in relief, grateful that Lady Luck is on his side—everything is going smoothly. A gentle smile plays at the corner of his lips as he watches his brother carefully help the elderly lady up. Hoang Kim speaks softly:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcrNrD6EgNN
- Grandma, let me help you cross the street.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡllK8vzk1uy
The old lady squints her eyes, shielding herself from the flashing lights:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvODOyBkCVO
- You’re the handsome guy from TV, right? What’s your name? It’s Truong Xuan, isn’t it?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ54CY5jRJUo
Hoang Kim smiles gently, and fans compare that smile to a "lethal weapon"—its danger level no less than a weapon of mass destruction named Truong Xuan:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYtiLCa6Svc
- No, I’m Hoang Kim. The one with his eyes squinting into slits is my younger brother.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUjynPQ8BVV
The elderly lady slaps her forehead:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmytjp030t4
- Oh right! Hoang Kim, Truong Xuan, Huy Hung, and Sam?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkZelStvIJG
Hoang Kim asks in surprise:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02l1qN3ReB
- Grandma, you know all three of my younger brothers too?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ00KLNr1Ux6
The old lady sighs:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTT7K4f4RXa
- My granddaughters daydream every day about becoming their idol’s mother’s daughter-in-law. Every time you and your brothers appear on TV, they scream like crazy. I swear, I remember your names better than I remember my own descendants’.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXzqi5zIDGU
The crowd around them bursts into laughter when they hear the grandma asking for autographs on behalf of her granddaughters. Not only does Hoang Kim happily oblige, he also takes a photo with the old lady and posts it on his social media. The picture immediately sets off a media storm—shares, likes, hearts, angry reacts, and comments pour into his profile like a tidal wave.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMUXXCT8jr1
The grandma asks:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsKKEsQSwXL
- And where are the other three?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70JZ8uRXx9
Hoang Kim helps the elderly lady up the curbside step.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeoMYTRxq4N
- Huy Hung and Sam couldn't make it due to personal matters. Truong Xuan’s over there.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTZfQYW4uL
The old lady nods and teases:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhlPmbSZLS
- Oh thank goodness. If those two showed up too, the streets would go into full chaos.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG407vtyAR7
Hoang Kim can't help but laugh at her jab:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLotbbeE5YJ
- Handsome, kind, talented, and virtuous—you and your brothers attract a lot of women, kid! If I were younger, I’d be ovulating over you all too.

The crowd roars with laughter. The girls lift their chins proudly, as if to say, “See? Even the elderly adore our male god—let alone young maidens in their prime."
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgvXiMoRr4g
Fangirls proudly declare that they admire heroes who possess not just looks and talent, but also moral integrity. Countless girls are moved to tears, knowing they are idolizing someone truly worthy of respect.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEzcGDu43O
Thousands of beautiful mouths open at full volume to scream:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPcjYJeyk3B
- You help Grandma cross the street—now help me weather the storms of life!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ079hYRq1KW
- Not only can he run fast, he can help Grandma faster than a superhero!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOyv1JjZzIG
- How talented and kind-hearted must one be to deserve the title of national hero!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN0rcPpFNgu
Social media erupts. Female reporters and a flock of vultures swoop in like a storm, pecking at the old lady in a ruthless frenzy—showing no mercy to youth, no compassion for the elderly, and even draining the milk from pregnant and nursing women.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9bHj3FVdTJ
“Oh my, Grandma! Hello there.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlkOilAU3HI
The old lady frowns and asks: “Whose child is this, so polite?”. The reporters beam, rushing in to interview her:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcS1ylvAQVa
“Granny, what do you think of Hoang Kim and Truong Xuan?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMRYJfjaXkk
“Are you thinking of picking a grandson-in-law?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnbduU8SyHM
“Who would you prefer for your grandson-in-law? The dreamboat Hoang Kim or the heartthrob Truong Xuan?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4GG1cNWBbP
Hoang Kim suppresses a smile as he listens to the old lady respond in her effortlessly chill style:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEHhIt6M7ec
- A grandson-in-law? If one of them is as handsome as my husband was when he was young—or if both of them could be my grandsons-in-law—that’d be interesting!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB0ckw4kpRs
The flock of parasitic vultures, feeding off other people’s lives, instantly grabs the chance to extend their shameless fame-mooching act without missing a beat.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIurtCvNB9x
“Oh? Was your husband a heartthrob too when he was young?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkApu7GloJ5
“Can you tell us what he used to do? How did you two meet and fall in love?”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm2TyvXPmNJ
The female reporter deliberately raises the volume of her microphone:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFVKRuA1c2X
“Dear viewers, today Hoang Kim personally helps this lovely grandmother across the street like his own kin. We’re about to hear a deeply touching story that will move every heart listening.”
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm6xVdVywwZ
Truong Xuan, Hoang Kim, and the whole team chuckle as the cunning woman corners the elderly lady into a ‘heart-to-heart’ situation.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbEPPP97QxD
A few rude men smirk with disdain, scoffing at those who dodge studies in their youth, grow up, and become journalists. The old lady chuckles, glances at Hoang Kim, then subtly shifts her meaningful gaze toward Truong Xuan:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz2B3mIyGz9
- Hehe, are you guys waiting for me to say something like this: 'Oh my, my husband was even more handsome than your generation when he was young. In the village, he pursued girls, and all of them were infatuated with him. Even girls from other villages came wanting to ovulate, giving birth before marriage, or even directly without marriage—it was fine. They were crazy about him!' If I really say that, you’d definitely shout like mad: 'So ovulation is actually a traditional inheritance from our ancestors, everyone!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UFmd2se4c
The reporters double over with laughter, and the fangirls giggle uncontrollably. The entire track team gives a thumbs-up in approval of the trendy, irresistibly charming old lady.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqM3zYUrsp2
The old lady delivers another blow:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtOcELtux49
- See? When I say something, I’m never wrong! What I say is as true as a divine prophecy! You little brats—still smelling like milk, not even grown yet—do eggs think they’re smarter than ducks? I birth this whole damn game! Your parents? I give birth to them too! When I was ovulating for my man, you weren't even lining up to reincarnate yet! Your parents were still just eggs inside my ovaries!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSenBjpzQsd
Everywhere shakes with roaring laughter, utterly captivated by her demeanor—though she is old, her spirit remains youthful, forever at the peak of her first springtime, ovulating for handsome men. The crowd erupts into applause, crowning the old lady as ‘The First Ovulation Master in History.’ The fangirls shriek with laughter, scrambling to call out:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1aXFz345zQ
- You are so cute, grandma.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxOO8b5KC0
- Ugh, why couldn’t you be my real grandma?!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKQQ1wWxjsd
- Grandma, will you be my god-granny? Pretty please!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPTmm6epWyB
- If I can’t marry my idol, then I’ll definitely become your granddaughter-in-law instead!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnPzmNEqDRr
- You're the original ovulation queen, grandma! You're just way too adorable!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRdt3Nf9om
The granny instantly snaps back:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeF4G6SFCER
- Screw you and your ancestors down to the eighteenth generation! Treating me like some kind of damn comedy skit? You hormone-crazed little harlots, have you no shame?!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnZQoWKICJI
The crowd laughs even harder, a tidal wave of laughter crashing through the air. But the old lady knows when to call it quits—too many words and she’d risk becoming a public joke. A wise woman like her doesn't waste the track team’s time. Gripping her cane tightly, she raises a hand to cover her mouth and gives a dainty cough:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFQJfDJkL6F
– Tsk. Standing too long makes my legs sore. Help Granny finish the last stretch, will you, boy?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHOag5EtwTc
Hoang Kim silently thanks her and gently supports her with the utmost care, every move filled with heartfelt respect. And then comes the legendary shot: the moment he holds the old lady’s arm, caught perfectly in profile, his radiant smile lit up by a burst of camera flash. The photo spreads at light speed.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfgQrqj8VHi
Top headline of the day:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6XK8elK9rB
Helping Grandma Cross the Street: National Hero Wins More Hearts, Steals the Spotlight Back from the Narrow-Eyed.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1I3DBn7ysG
Saving a fangirl from falling—this time, the romantic rogue of the track team refuses to be outshone and snatches the spotlight from his beloved older brother.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE1wQG7Qyi5
That same day, the perfect finale comes from a hater who instantly switches sides:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs5GaUwnZfX
I hate the two brothers for being too handsome. But after the younger one cleverly saves the beauty and the older one enthusiastically helps the elderly lady cross the street, I hate myself even more—for not loving them sooner.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlGRPQc43hH
Having completed the mission of helping the old lady, Hoang Kim eagerly enters the hotel with his teammates. Ahead of them are the girls who have once been rumored to be Truong Xuan’s exes—though in truth, those are just ridiculous internet rumors, or more likely, fake stories these girls shamelessly spread themselves to leech off the national heartthrob’s fame. There are also the media queens, the gossip-thirsty showbiz crowd, and the gorgeous livestreaming actresses. All of them step aside to clear a path for Hoang Kim and Truong Xuan—the squinty-eyed oppa national idol whose mere presence keeps fangirls’ ovaries vibrating 24/7.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu3rvwEMITF
As the whole team steps into the grand hall, the atmosphere erupts. The show's MC makes a booming announcement:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrc4uiU0Hxb
- Welcome back, national track and field team, to the pride of our nation!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFwVP6CQJdN
The actresses gush in admiration. The lineup of pop stars and livestream beauties seize the moment, eagerly pointing their phones at the track and field team:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVg5yFqeNR
- Hey guys, I’m heading in to hunt the nation’s husband today—straight into the eye of the storm. Wish me luck!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgMqLAJ7L47
- Oh my god, do you see that? Truong Xuan just looks at me!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EB67M6QSZ
Truong Xuan’s gaze sweeps lightly across, and a chorus of livestreams erupts simultaneously:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIwP7kGiSX1
- HE LOOKS AT ME!!!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzmpLSfwQWq
In a secluded corner of the hotel, actresses who have once been rumored to date Truong Xuan are beaming, basking in the media’s help to shamelessly ride his fame. Their makeup is a whole galaxy beyond their real looks, and their dresses have plunging necklines deeper than anything they’d ever dared wear before—some look like they are cut all the way to the navel.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv8YwGmsfsU
Girls with nothing but long legs blurt out in confusion:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfvFME6Yriu
- Huh, I thought the magazine invited me for a fashion cover shoot today? Why is he here too?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzSd0icv3qz
- I think I am the spotlight... turns out I am just a nightlight.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGPBSnuvFV4
A top 10 supermodel whispers bitterly:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs9uu69ymj7
- I remember how I deliberately hyped up my ex-boyfriend as Truong Xuan oppa. But now, with girls swarming around him so tightly, getting a photo with him is even harder than actually becoming his girlfriend!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS7qKNN3nZO
She smacks her lips with a hint of chagrin, tiptoeing as she glances at the queen of tabloid gossip—renowned for her skill in twisting scandals—with her glossy crimson lipstick gleaming and a microphone in hand.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoTuBysOqvk
- Just one minute, Truong Xuan! Let’s talk about last year’s rumor. Are you still keeping that birthday gift from a certain someone? And how do you respond to the haters who say you’re only famous for your looks, and have zero actual talent?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNbLVis77Hx
Truong Xuan gives a slight smile. Cameras go berserk. Flashes light up the room, capturing the tabloid queen’s stunned expression—mouth agape, staring blankly into those mesmerizing squinty eyes. Her hand trembles, and before she realizes it, the microphone slips from her fingers and clatters to the floor. This month’s magazine headline changes:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0QmrYnQaJU
New Perspective: When Good Looks Become a Weapon of Mass Destruction

The 'Fastest Ovary-Stimulating Athlete' trophy is about to sell out.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUeVwZHM2Y7
Jealous anti-fans and enthusiastic counter-anti-fan groups still share photos of Truong Xuan's smile daily.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡD6ElsN9uU1
Variety shows beg the national heartthrob to appear, just to have him sit there and smile. Too bad our pretty boy says no.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq1M6oHnvhO
This smiley-eyed boy is the only man whose fans need protection… from him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWpLPhRc6T
Earlier, when Truong Xuan was still outside the hotel, fans surged like ocean waves—waving banners, screaming, and even livestreaming themselves crying… all because he smiled. A radiant smile—not blinding, but heart-melting, breathtaking, and utterly lethal.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCByvBd8MTR
Legislation should urgently be enacted to ban smiling more than three times a minute—to prevent internet meltdowns and mass hormonal overloads among young people.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuiCXB2OdG5
Traffic laws should prohibit Truong Xuan from smiling—every time he flashes that grin, it might cause actual car accidents.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpUO7MxXTL9
The girls scream like they are on fire:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9Xw8RkoL6
- One smile from him and all the scandals disappear, sis!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlEPNT8Sjig
- He hasn’t even said a word but my heart’s already pounding!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM6Jxo432Bc
- The nation’s husband is here—my heart rate just spikes!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBfY7UIpalV
- That’s my man! Step aside, girls, I’m going to greet my husband!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGFMkiMp7hc
An anti-fan group called 'That sleazy, fake, fox-eyed bastard,' yet pinned at the top of the group is a photo of Truong Xuan smiling at a flawless 45-degree angle.

LOL… Who can resist the charm of the smiling-eyed heartthrob?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdoQK1jKMpl
LOL… His smile alone could cause nationwide ovary outages...
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlMTnKaZ2fH

The event organizers are caught between laughter and tears:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjv0DgpFhrC
- The honor ceremony hasn't even officially begun, and the crazy fans have already given out the 'Male God of Female Hormone Disruption' award!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaj4uMleo3s
The team captain mutters under his breath:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlgh3VIf1t0
- Are we here to celebrate the team… or to crown a national idol?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDSYwcAUoFa
The curly-haired guy pats the captain’s shoulder:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC98MzZni5v
- One more smile from him, and even our leading man Hoang Kim becomes a side character.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ4nw1U9qAg
Always teasing each other, when the time comes for the honor ceremony, the entire team carefully adjusts their uniforms and sits down at the banquet table.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3QDEviS8Kl
JK, the Head of the Ceremony Organizing Committee, along with celebrities and influential figures, warmly congratulates each athlete. Hoang Kim is the last to receive their praises. He can barely remember how many compliments he receives.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsVJbtP2Gc
The once-glorious divas and the actresses who skyrocketed to fame from minor roles ten years ago—now, they all flock like flies drawn to honey. Desperate to cling to Hoang Kim and his fox-eyed younger brother, they scramble for just a sliver of the two idols' lingering glow.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf90RAroyVZ
Some pretend to trip and fall, nearly landing in Hoang Kim’s arms. Others, long past their prime, have been reduced to scraping by as MCs, clawing back every cent to make up for their reckless glory days—when money was tossed around like confetti in a storm. Silently, they hustle day by day, hoarding fame and fortune, dreaming of reviving their golden era… and of becoming the life partner of Eternal Spring.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJkguIdeNEr
They shoved microphones right into Truong Xuan's face, hoping that even a single second in the frame would achieve their goal of attracting all sorts of publications, from tabloids to mainstream, from street gossip rags to posh office journals.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvNcEvesnSk
Their name would once again stir up chaos in the virtual world, but it's better to have a minute of glory and then fade away than to flicker faintly for a hundred years. What's more, those butterflies always dream vainly that heaven helps those who are determined. As long as they persevere and cling on tighter than hungry leeches, the bloodsuckers will leap over the dragon's gate, and night moths will transform into phoenixes.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYmWaW5bB3F
Others subtly adjust their skirts and collars, striking their best poses whenever the cameras turn to the two male idols, capturing their interactions, photos, and autograph sessions with guests.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡv5AKzeqJnE
A pragmatic woman, having accepted the cruel reality that there are no longer any chances left for her, can only lament—her gaze locked onto the nation's two bananas, yearning for that lethal smile to knock on the door of her heart.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4U4ASJMaKC
"If only my parents hadn’t had me so early! If Dad and Mom had delayed their sexual pleasure for just ten more years, their daughter would’ve had the chance… to marry the nation’s husband!"

Meanwhile, several showbiz beauties flirt openly, throwing seductive glances without shame:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNkxUhIMM0
- I've only ever seen you on screen before, but today I realize that TV only captures one of your handsome angles!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWoqCz50HtZ
One woman, wearing a red dress that can't be shorter, sways coyly, her round, plump thigh on full display. She smiles as she speaks:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQjfFxNXqM
- I've heard that being a sportsman's girlfriend isn't easy because of the long-distance love. But for me, waiting is happiness!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtEna5qIAKt
The girls playfully feed Hoang Kim a bunch of spring rolls, hoping he’d take the bait. The main character of the honor ceremony jokes with his teammates.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuYx2b8ywiJ
- My Athletics girlfriend is beautiful but not jealous. How lucky—I don’t have to spend all night trying to calm her down!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUJHgU0Jwz
The entire hall erupts in laughter. The brazen-faced girls chatter and laugh with their prey. JK waits for the laughter and chatter to subside, then approaches to shake Hoang Kim's hand:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhKkjxMH1gw
- It's going to be fun tonight, enjoy slowly, national hero!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0OZPdQvmvu
JK says a few hidden words and then goes on stage, which is filled with flower lights. The person in charge adjusts the microphone on his ear, and he begins by honoring the athletes:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNZ4l2w6IdP
- Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, athletes. I am JK, the head of the honor ceremony organizers, and on behalf of the people of the country, I would like to express my congratulations and sincere gratitude to the heroes who brought glory to our country. They fought with tenacity, sweat, and blood. Thank you! We admire and are proud of our athletes!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjqxTnYCoiU
Everyone applauds JK. The responsible person smiles and invites each athlete:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ80JKMeJRfc
- Yes, athletes, please share your thoughts with the audience across the country!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqhzKHxNaBD
The athletes take turns speaking. After a few, it is Hoang Kim's turn. He greets the audience and takes the microphone from JK's hand:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxXKZ25Hxj4
- First of all, I would like to greet everyone here and those watching on television. I am Hoang Kim, a national track and field athlete. We are honored to be part of this ceremony, and we sincerely thank you for your love for track and field and for sports in general in our country. Your encouragement, inspiration, and support are the greatest motivation for all athletes to strive for excellence and bring glory to the nation!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8ohJfm1ewK
Hoang Kim proudly turns to his teammates:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡefIqn4CrLF
- Without my teammates standing shoulder to shoulder with me, and without the love of the fans, neither I nor anyone else could have won. This is an achievement we all share!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVHx5fXh4P
Applause resonates throughout the hall. Hoang Kim bows to the TV cameras, expressing his gratitude to viewers across the country. He then steps aside and gives the stage back to JK. The person in charge smiles and announces:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn8Ly4SkePs
- We’ve prepared a small party to commemorate this victory. The celebration officially begins. Enjoy, everyone!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6R5BAUDYPw
The hotel staff turns off all the lights, replacing them with rows of lanterns that light up the ceiling of the lobby. A team of musicians begins playing the national anthem. Everyone, including the athletes, places their hands over their hearts and sings along with the music.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVdOSG143U
After the opening ceremony concludes, the instrumentalists begin playing a soft, classical tune. The guests stand up to dance, and most of the beauties eagerly choose athletes as their partners. Unsurprisingly, Hoang Kim receives the most invitations. He smiles politely and declines:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoiGULP5Ssu
- Sorry, to be honest... I don’t really know how to dance!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbJ1f2DFPN6
The showbiz girls try to salvage their hopes with the line:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnUCtKSMrUO
- I will teach you!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ76pRP6jO6v
Truong Xuan catches sight of Hoang Kim’s subtle refusal. His older brother is always wary of getting entangled with the parasitic showbiz crowd—scandals would swarm him even more fiercely than obsessive fangirls. Who knows what tricks those women might pull while dancing? Not to mention the vultures constantly circling, waiting to feast... like dogs eyeing a bone. He deliberately raises his voice and says:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡb6dVlJoIgI
- Ah, so many beauties inviting to dance—it's hard to choose! Picking one would surely disappoint the others. The problem is, my brother is a god on the racetrack, but when it comes to the stage, he's all clumsy hands and awkward feet. He's been grinding nonstop, training his muscles, endurance, and speed—practically full-time, 24/7—like a wandering martial artist in seclusion, perfecting his techniques. He barely has time for anything else.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6afs37vfQW
The entire track team chuckles as the fox-eyed guy, a smooth talker with a silver tongue, spins his words as smoothly as melted caramel, effortlessly luring in showbiz girls and reporters. They gather around, hanging on his every word, mesmerized more than by any seasoned orator. The charmer with words clicks his tongue and sighs:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGaZAutuQT
- We just went through a grueling tournament, and our stamina hasn't fully recovered. After flying around with layovers in multiple countries for dozens of hours, we finally returned home—completely exhausted. Instead of dancing in such a drained and unenthusiastic state, it’d be more fun to chat and play sports trivia games with us!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN17yfXEAey
Hoang Kim secretly smiles at his younger brother’s quick wit. Truong Xuan knows for sure that the girls will stop at nothing; once they fail to hunt down a man, they will never give up.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTgs2A0u0rd
If Hoang Kim and his team continue to let these parasitic freeloaders, from their 'lower mouths' to feed their upper mouth, keep causing trouble, it will be a nightmare.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡi8YE37PeOO
Worse still, if they are completely rejected, the entire track team might become prime raw material for the reporters in the tent, who could freely add flavor to the story and cook up a foul-smelling hotpot.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGTL8EU9Bat
Accepting a dance invitation is far more dangerous. One careless slip-up with these spider-like goblins, falling victim to their love potions and bewitchments, and these she-devils will drag their prey into the Spiderweb Cave.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRUjDN3pHK
The next day, global social media will be flooded with posts—images of Hoang Kim, Truong Xuan, or any of the brothers lying naked on the bed, the sheets soaked, and the white mattress stained with fake virgin blood.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaaPEOguzAf
Meanwhile, the flashy sluts from the entertainment industry will be sitting in the corner, covering their faces, crying and sobbing, saying, “He took my purity!” From that point on, the lives of these national heroes will officially be over, falling straight into an endless abyss.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP6q7WTRsok
If a national hero’s reputation ever falls into that filthy “lower-mouth abyss,” it will bring shame upon eighteen generations of male gods brothers.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqqLB14bJvw
Truong Xuan immediately makes a move to attract attention, and sure enough, half of the girls surrounding Hoang Kim, along with most of the reporters, media, and TV stations, shift their focus and swarm around Truong Xuan. The remaining girls stop asking Hoang Kim to dance but still aren't ready to give up on the most tempting prey.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhbNEij94C2
JK signals the waitress to come and rescue Hoang Kim. Obeying her master’s order, she carries a tray with an open bottle of wine, walks past Hoang Kim, and pretends to drop it—spilling wine all over him.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIXGdmFAB3V
- What are you doing?
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMxFWnqgkYr
- Apologize to him, quickly!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfOUtA7IcCT
The waitress, flustered, pulls out a towel and starts wiping the wine off Hoang Kim.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkfK5VBhUY
- Sorry! I’ll take care of your laundry and compensate you with a new outfit!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSsyrSaMJsv
Hoang Kim waves his hand, signaling her not to worry, then exits the hall. The showbiz girls, frustrated at losing their prey, frown as they watch his silhouette disappear down the hallway.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtqqmI1bflk
Hoang Kim steps into the bathroom to clean the wine stain off the national flag on his sports uniform. He doesn't notice the smoke drifting in from under the door. After inhaling it, he suddenly feels dizzy—but quickly returns to normal. When he steps out, he sees Anh Dao waiting with a man. She bows her head and says:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR323olVSzI
- Sir, this man’s daughter is one of your fans. She’s battling terminal cancer… and her greatest wish is to meet her idol.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgWYNPHNSOX
The man wipes away his tears and lets out a heavy sigh:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa0Za3VR9gZ
- Honestly, I don't want to bother you, but my daughter can't take it anymore. I've rented a waiting room since the afternoon. Please, meet her!
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGwrLX37nF
He hands his phone to Hoang Kim. On the screen is a video of a father silently weeping by his daughter’s hospital bed. JK had once helped arrange a similar meeting between Hoang Kim and a terminally ill fan. Remembering that moment, Hoang Kim nods and agrees to fulfill the little girl’s wish. But there are too many people crowding around the hotel entrance. Hoang Kim frowns in concern—until Anh Dao speaks up:
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTtq6cMkzf
- The hotel basement has a passage leading into the city. I will call someone to prepare the car.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡloyPMV5Ndh
She hands him the suit and a face mask. Hoang Kim steps into the bathroom to change, puts on the face mask, and follows the two down to the basement. The blonde girl gestures toward the black car parked near the elevator, and everyone quickly gets into the car.
43Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNi1VGaMKkx
Hoang Kim calls his teammates and his mother, asking them to mislead the media and cover up his secret departure. Anh Dao glances at him through the rearview mirror but keeps driving out of the tunnel.
