Rising star Leon Price was appearing on a show when the host asked him, "Leon, if you had the chance, would you go back to Westfalenstadion?"
A faint smile tugged at Leon's lips. "Borussia Dortmund, huh..."
He seemed to have said nothing, yet somehow he had said it all.
Leon, who had also been cast aside by Dortmund, could hardly understand why Reus insisted on returning there.
As a young man, he posted a troubled question on a forum: "Question: How do I save my childhood friend from being lovesick over his former employer?"
A helpful commenter sent him a link with the message: "Show him what happens to people with love-brain. From ancient times to the present, none of them ever get a happy ending."
But after reading it, the kitty looked even more resolute. "Leon, I knew staying loyal would pay off!"
Watching the crooked-mouthed cat roll around excitedly, Leon opened the long-forgotten thread and furiously hammered out a reply: "Why did reading the ending make him even more lovesick!"
But young Leon never got a reply.
Years later, Leon happened to find a comment quietly sitting beneath the post: "Here's a suggestion: the OP could try becoming the object of his friend's love-brain."
Marco...
"Breaking! Borussia Dortmund announces the signing of Leon Price!"
"Leon Price returns to Borussia Dortmund, seemingly to prove his critics wrong?"
The one I loved was never Dortmund. It was that tenacious, stubborn kitty.
P.S. 1. The crooked-mouthed cat will eventually leave Dortmund, but he'll leave the club with plenty of trophies.
2. The male lead is not a good person in the traditional sense and will move between various clubs.
3. Some awards are made up for the story!!
4. The author is a casual fan and doesn't know much about tactics. Please be gentle!
5. There may be the faintest hint of bittersweetness between Leon and Marco.
Theme: Courageously pursue what you love. Don't leave regrets in your life!!
