Irritation (1)

Ken's perfect game was promoted everywhere over the next few days, causing his fame to skyrocket in a short amount of time. The situation got even bigger when some of the Yanks players reposted the headlines on their own accounts.

He received a message from a few of his friends in Japan who had heard the news. Apparently the Japanese media had gotten hold of the story and began to market him once again.

It was as if they had completely forgotten about the smear campaign they created while he was in his slump.

Ken had already learned to ignore the media attention, both good and bad. It was also great that he had a Social Media manager to look after his accounts since he had enough to focus on.

This would increase doubly when the NIL deal was struck in July of next year. Just thinking of all the brand deals Tara would have to deal with when that time came made him dizzy.

'I'll have to pay her a wage when that time comes.' Ken thought to himself idly.
