"Both captains, come here! We will start the penalty shootout soon!"
The referee had already called, and Ito stepped forward to face the referee with one of the South Korean players. They both were ready for the coin toss to determine which one should take the penalty kick first.
Well, Higo himself didn't pay any attention to them. No, he walked slowly to the penalty box on the southern side of the pitch, the one that the referee determined to hold the shootout. There, Kang Do-Jin had already been waiting for him as well, offering a handshake first before their personal war.
"We finally meet again, Higo-san." Do-Jin smiled wryly here. "I would be happy to meet you under better circumstances, though. Facing you in this situation is quite scary."
Higo felt one of his eyebrows arched lightly when he heard that. "How could you become so humble like this? I swear, you won our last encounter, right?" He asked, couldn't help but tease the opponent's goalkeeper.
