Ji9Star

Let’s save people, they’re going to die if we keep doing this.

The fan spinning with a whining sound only blew out hot air. A closed
office with no air conditioning in the middle of summer like this. This
was employee abuse. Yeowoon sighed and opened the messenger
program at the bottom right.

Fake friends
(Ad) A hot day like today! It will freeze my heart….

Now everything makes people sad. Why is it that the only ones who
contact me first every time are advertising texts? It’s about making
some proper friends. He opened a group chat room and sent a
message expressing boredom.

Did you guys eat lunch?


Seonyong
No, I want to eat pizza

Jeong Se-hyung
Oh fuck, I ate so much, I can starve until tomorrow.

Jeong Se-hyung
Manager, how can you finish this piece of shit in one day?? Can you
do it?

Jeong Se-hyung
When you go out drinking, you pretend not to know and you’re afraid
they’ll hit you and make you pay for it.

Seonyong
lol

Seonyong
Still, you are better than Lee Yeo-woon. I saw that guy before and
he had savings.

Seonyong
Murder contract.

Jeong Se-hyung
? Haha, it’s just an emergency fund, but they’re pretending it’s
savings.

Ugh, I’m going to make a new one for you too^^


Jeong Se-hyung
Thief

Seonyong
Do

Once again, I realize that now is work time. Those who cannot be
contacted after six in the evening read messages faster than anyone
else at this hour.

Jeong Se-hyung
Hey, where did you download the resignation letter form?

Seonyong
Oh wait, I bought a car haha

Seonyong
Do you have a lot of money?

Jeong Se-hyung
Oh, thank you. Thanks to you, I calm down….

‘I’m bored.’
There was a chat room that caught Yeowoon’s eyes while he was
spinning the mouse wheel aimlessly on the monitor. The saved
name of the person I was talking to was ‘Business Partner’.

‘I’m bored. Would you like to talk to me first for the first time in a
while?’

Yeowoon double-clicked the chat room to open it and placed his


hands on the keyboard.

Are you still sleeping?

I pressed Enter to send the message, but the ‘1’ next to the speech
bubble did not disappear. The ‘business partner’, if he was up, was
usually someone who would give answers like a knife. Yeo-woon,
who had been waiting for a reply for a while, guessed that his
‘business partner’ was still sleeping.

I didn’t fix the air conditioner today either.

Remember that the deadline is today?

I won the bet haha.


I was smiling in the text, but in reality I couldn’t smile at all because
it was so hot. Boss, is it such a waste of money to fix the air
conditioner? It would have been nice if he had valued his life as
much. Yeowoon picked up his cell phone that was connected to the
charger and opened the banking app. After depositing an additional
30,000 won into the ‘murder contract savings account’, he looked at
the accumulated amount for a while and put down his cell phone.

“I’m having trouble saving money….”

I took a deep breath and looked up at the clock on my phone. It was


just past one o’clock. What time is it now and I’m still sleeping? It
was such an enviable life. Yeo-woon leaned back in his chair and
drooped like a sloth.

“…hot.”

I’m hot, sleepy, hungry and tired. If this isn’t beggar, what is? I really
want to go home. I want to quit my job. I wanted to go home and
play games to my heart’s content, but when I got sleepy, I wanted to
lie down and sleep.

“Chief Lee.”

“Ah!”

At the sound of a voice coming from behind, Yeowoon hurriedly hit


the Esc key repeatedly and closed the chat window. When I stiffly
turned my head, I saw Assistant Manager Kim grinning, wiping his
sweaty face with the back of his hand.

“Sir?”

“what’s the matter? “What were you doing?”

“Oh, no. It’s a surprise….”

“Why are you surprised?”

“…Wow, that’s surprising. Me?”

Yeowoon smiled calmly and swiveled his chair around. I’m sure you
didn’t see the contents of the chat room. If the plan to kill the boss is
discovered, the image of a healthy, polite, and upright elite that has
been built so far will be destroyed.

“Here’s Chief Lee’s coffee.”

…Maybe you didn’t see it?

“Haha, thank you….”

Yeowoon smiled awkwardly and accepted the coffee he offered with


both hands. When Assistant Manager Kim took the coffee he
offered, ice rattled inside the disposable cup. The water droplets that
had formed on the surface of the cup flowed down and wet my
palm.
“You haven’t had lunch yet, right? “Are you okay?”

“I felt a little bloated today. At times like this, I vomit everything I


eat.”

“Oh my, what can I do with a man so sickly?”

“Haha, I’m a bit weak in summer.”

So, fix the air conditioner, fuck…. Yeowoon muttered to himself.

“I’m not feeling well. Would coffee be okay on an empty stomach?”

“Yes, it’s okay.”

“You usually don’t even eat breakfast. If you take caffeine on an


empty stomach, throw it out.”

“Thank you for your concern.”

“This chief will then die.”

I think it would be better to pass out from heat stroke than to feel
sick from the coffee.

“I got death insurance.”

“Do you like that?”


“Because I haven’t died yet.”

“That’s right. Let me know later if it’s okay.”

Assistant Manager Kim was laughing and flapping his shirt,


wondering what was so funny. Judging by his bright red face, he
seemed to be just as hot as me. How could the air conditioner break
down in such a hot summer? I felt like I was being steamed alive in
a boiling pot.

“But what do you do after work these days?”

“Me? “I exercise.”

“work out? …Oh, are you still going swimming?”

“yes.”

“Hey…. everyday?”

“yes.”

At Yeowoon’s answer, he narrowed his eyes and muttered, “I guess


that wasn’t the only answer.”

‘…You’re a ghost, how can you be so perceptive?’


Actually, I do exercise, but I can’t do it consistently every day. The
life of an office worker was like that.

“Because the swimming pool is closed on Mondays….”

“….”

“I was too tired the day before yesterday so I couldn’t go.”

“….”

“I sometimes take weekends off.”

“…Hmm.”

“Uh, something suddenly happened yesterday too….”

In the end, the answer was that I couldn’t go more than once or
twice a week.

“Chief Lee.”

“….”

“I know everything.”

Hearing those words, I felt a bit unfair. Originally, it wasn’t to this


extent. I usually exercise pretty diligently, but this week was a total
disaster….

“But I’m really going to go today. I also brought a swimsuit.”

“No…, I’m not talking about that.”

“yes?”

He grinned and made a sinister expression at Yeo-woon, who was


speaking gibberish. The face that seemed to know something only
made me feel more uncomfortable.

“Chief Lee! “Didn’t you find a lover?”

“…yes?”

Yeo-woon’s eyes were just blank. I had no idea how to react to


Assistant Manager Kim’s words. What kind of lover suddenly
appeared to me…? I don’t even have time to make something like
that.

“I’m so obsessed with that. Nowadays, whenever Manager Lee gets


off work, he quickly packs his bags and leaves.”

“….”

“I know it when I see it. After all, you have a lover, right?”
“No, it’s not….”

Yeowoon closed his eyes with a troubled look on his face. I really
didn’t have a lover, but I was a bit reluctant to tell the truth.

My image at the company is that of a flawless and healthy young


man, but to say that I play games at the level of an addict is a bit….
If I said that I only played games in my free time as a hobby, I would
often be looked at as if I was pathetic.

Yeowoon’s hobby was playing online MMORPG games. The game


he plays, ‘Illusion’, was in the Summer Festival event for two weeks
ago, and you had to log in for at least three hours a day to receive
rewards.

In addition, in order to do guild quests for limited items, I had to rush


out as soon as it was time to get off work. Especially these days, it is
the student vacation season, so if you don’t do this, you are likely to
fall further behind in the event rankings. Actually, I wasn’t that
interested in rankings, but there was one item I really wanted to
have among the items from this event, so I had no choice.

“Pretty?”

“You mean there isn’t one?”

“You don’t have a lover?”

“Yes, there is none.”


“no way….”

“Really….”

“Oh, or I knew it! “It’s just a relationship?”

He snapped his fingers and had a faint smile on his face. Yeowoon
tried hard to suppress the frown that kept on his face. It’s flirty and
flirty. Why is this guy so interested in other people’s dating
situations?

“If I want to marry my lover, I need to save up a lot of money. huh?”

“haha….”

I shouldn’t become a boss like that in the future. I need to resign


before something like that happens. Even though Yeo-woon was
inwardly scolded, she showed off her inherent social skills and just
smiled shyly and shook her head.

Ding!

“….”

“….”

The assistant manager’s interrogation was stopped for a moment by


a sound coming from the monitor. The two people’s eyes returned to
the monitor.
Business Partner
Hey ><

“What business?”

Assistant Manager Kim asked in a puzzled voice. My blood ran cold


at the unexpected situation. I usually turn off the sound, but it
seemed like it was turned on because I touched something wrong
earlier.

Business Partner
Wake up now

He couldn’t make any excuses and seemed to have realized the


situation right away in the cold atmosphere, smiling slyly and tapping
Yeowoon on the shoulder.

“Is your girlfriend?”

“…no.”
“The emoticon is so cute. Is she young?”

“Not….”

“Is she really a college student?”

“Oh, no.”

Ding!

Business Partner
Haha, I woke up a little late today because classes were canceled.

“Wow, you’re a college student.”

Stop, stop….

Ding!

Business Partner
Has the air conditioner been fixed yet? Honey, I feel sorry for you.
Please stop….

Business Partner
The air conditioner is perfect at my house right now. Do you want to
come over?

“Is your girlfriend.”

“It’s not….”

“That’s right.”

“Because it’s not.”

“But why is the saved name a business partner?”

“….”

“Look, I have nothing to say! Are you trying to communicate


confidently even while working?”

“that….”
“Wow, Chief Lee has become brave. huh? It’s a problem with kids
these days. Wow, they use all those tricks. Interesting, huh? Right,
Chief Lee?”

“….”

“Huh? I’m not scolding you. Why is your face so white?”

Fucked. Rumors will spread. Cold sweat was running down my back.
Yeowoon shook his head vigorously and expressed his opinion once
again.

“Great, sir! This isn’t really my girlfriend. We’re just friends!”

“It’s funny. Does your friend just call you ‘honey’?”

“A friend who calls me that as a joke… Yes.”

I’m ruined. I wasn’t listening anymore.

‘Even if it were me, I wouldn’t believe it.’

There are usually no friends like that. Not without it. My lips became
dry. Assistant Manager Kim hummed a song that started with “Hello”
and took out a toothbrush from the drawer. I muttered to the back of
his head a few times that it wasn’t true, but I was ignored.

‘Wouldn’t it be unfair if my girlfriend got hit, she’s not even a


woman….’
The arrow of resentment was directed at someone else. Yeowoon
opened a chat window with his ‘business partner’ and started typing
in anger.

When you wake up, eat well.

The 1 next to the speech bubble quickly disappeared. You are


watching the chat room in real time.

Business Partner
I ordered rice

blanket

Business Partner
Hahahahahahahahahaha It’s so hot that I came to the training
center?

blanket

Business Partner
Poor haha
Business Partner
Then come visit my house.

Business Partner
My room right now is like Antarctica. It’s so cold.

“Why is he asking me to come over to his house every chance he


gets these days…?”

It’s too persistent to just be taken as a joke. No matter what I said,


all I could say was to meet up, but I was reluctant because I had
never had an offline meeting with someone I met in a game, and I
had no intention of going out in the future. It would be better for both
parties to end a relationship they met online online.

I saw that on I Want to Know last week, and if you do it wrong, you
might lose your organs and lose your sight…. He might not know
either. After watching that broadcast, I decided again. Off-group
gatherings don’t go out even if you die.

Do not joke

Business Partner
joke? I’m serious lol
Business Partner
He said he was curious about my house.

Not you, your cat

Can you at least show me a picture?

(emoticon)

Yeowoon sent a peach emoticon with sparkling eyes and clothes


falling down. The earnest look on his face made me feel weak, so I
didn’t know if he would send me a picture of the cat.

Business Partner
Why are you taking a picture of my baby? Come and take a look.

You ㅡㅡ

This time too, it was a failure. It’s already been 6 months since I’ve
been begging to see a picture of a cat with a soft cat sound every
time I use my voice. I couldn’t figure out why they didn’t tell me their
name or fur color.
At that time, my arm rested on the chair. When I turned around in
surprise, I saw Assistant Manager Kim, who had been talking to me
earlier, muttering incorrectly with a toothbrush in his mouth with a
rotten expression on his face.

“I’m jealous. It’s over. Just go home?”

“….”

“Mr. Yeok, you’re screwed.”

“no!”

“It’s a shame, I have to do Kalte again today, Kalte King, Chief.”

“It’s not like that….”

“huh? Are you doing calte today?”

“…I’m going to do it, but…. Just listen to what I have to say. please.”

“Hmph. I’m going to brush my teeth. Love is so good!”

He smiled softly, picked up the toothbrushing cup, and walked away.


After all, he was famous for being the soft-spoken person in the
office. Thoughts of ruin fill my head.
Don’t text me;

Business Partner
lol? He sent it first….

Then don’t call me honey.

Business Partner
You just said that you are not that person haha. Are you mistaken?

Anywayㅠㅠ; Other people mistake you as my lover…. I almost got


scolded just now

Business Partner
What haha then change the save name.

Already changed

Business Partner
What is that saved?

Business Partner

Business Partner
uh?

why?
Business Partner
??Lmao

Business Partner
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

“…?”

Why is this funny? Isn’t it okay? Yeowoon frowned as he looked at


the chat window filled with ㅋ for a long time.

Why are you laughing?

Business Partner
They don’t even let me smile

Is it funny?^^

Business Partner
Yes haha, thinking about the situation where I got caught makes me
sick to my stomach.

Take medicine^^
Business Partner
It’s not that boat

I know^^;

Business Partner
Hahahahahahahahahahaha business partnerㅠ

“….”

What is your business partner? Then what should I change? I can’t


save it as a mother…. Yeowoon stared at the monitor with a sullen
expression and let out a light sigh. I guess I’ll have to change my
name again. What would be better?

Business Partner
But you’re our lover

Uh ㄲㅈ

Business Partner
ㅠㅠWounds…Honey, is our relationship just a joke? We break up.

blanket
Business Partner
ㄷㄷ Am I embarrassed?

yep

Business Partner
ㅠㅠAm I annoyed?

Yes

Business Partner
lol

Business Partner
But you still like me

“….”

Business Partner
Again, I got caught so I didn’t say anything>ㅅ<

“On what basis are you saying this?”


shocking. I felt this every time, but he was a guy full of self-love. Or
maybe they’ll go crazy because they enjoy making fun of me.

“It’s really not at all?”

Yeowoon repeatedly raised and lowered the mouse wheel and


tiptoed his toes. The conversation went like this every day. Why is
he really like this? Is this normal? Are other gaming couples usually
like this? I don’t know why we’re talking like this when we’re not
really dating. However, if I confessed these concerns, I felt like I was
the only one in trouble.

You’re so fucking annoying haha. You’re such a fucking annoying


man.

Business Partner
Analysis – I really fucking like you, but I got caught and it’s annoying.

lol

Business Partner
Ugh…I laugh because I got caught.

ㅠㅠ

Business Partner
Ugh…Crying because I got caught
It’s so dirty. Normally, I would just chew on it at this point, but today
I’m particularly bored, so I’m just going to deal with it for a bit. Just
as I was killing time by telling meaningless jokes, the office door
opened and I heard a pleasant voice.

“hello. I’m here to repair the air conditioner.”

“Oh, hello!”

Behind him, the illusion of pure white archangel wings fluttering


unfolded. I guess the boss didn’t want to die by my hands today!
Congratulations on extending your lifespan. Yeowoon was so excited
that he kicked off his chair and stood up.

I have to go. I’ll come back and fix the air conditioner!

He quickly left the room, and less than a minute later, a small
message preview window appeared at the bottom of the desktop
along with a ringing sound.
Business Partner
Hyung, you remember the bet you made with me, right?

***

It was almost a year ago that my relationship with the store name
‘Client’ began. Moreover, he wasn’t that friendly at first, and his
relationship with the guy wasn’t that good.

Yeowoon has always liked games since elementary school. I started


by secretly taking coins out of the change piggy bank placed in the
living room and going to the local arcade to play. In middle school, I
started playing mobile games that were popular among my friends,
and by chance, I started playing online games in high school. After
playing a variety of games, I came across Illusion when I was
preparing for a job. And from that point on, I was stuck with that
game until now.

Illusion was not a game with a solid user base for no reason. The
guild system was exceptionally well-functioning and even events
were active. In addition, since it is a game specialized in character
decoration, there were often people who played the game just for
the sake of coordination. It was a fun game with users of all ages
and active transactions.

‘Should I join a guild too?’


One day, that thought suddenly occurred to me. In other games,
Yeowoon mainly played solo, and because of that, he rarely joined a
proper guild.

Illusion was a game where it was difficult to progress through the


story without hunting for all classes. When I worked hard to level up
and was about to change my first job, I heard that without a guild,
the higher the level, the more difficult it would be to advance. So, to
get the hunting buff, I joined a guild that was always recruiting guild
members, but since the guild master did not log in consistently, the
guild members left one after another, ending up as a ghost guild.

‘If I’m going to do this, should I just create a one-person guild and do
it alone?’

I thought about that for a moment, but quickly gave up. This is
because the difference in hunting buffs depending on guild level was
quite large. If you were going to create a one-person guild, it would
have been better to just play like this without joining any guild.

In order to save the guild again, Yeowoon went into the party
matching window and took a quick look to see if there was anyone
currently recruiting guild members.

Party Matching

[★Full-time part-time job★Star Cradle 5th edition 2.0]


[[Purchase] Please refer to the detailed description of various items!]

[The Moon Breaker’s Party]

[Unlimited purchase of hammer @@@@ presented by Bayabaya


Warehouse Cat <<]

1 2 3 4 …9 10 ▷

In the party matching window, there were numerous part-time


parties that went around various trading rooms and dungeons for
you. While scrolling through party matching by pressing the arrows
in reverse order starting from page 15, a guild recruitment post
caught my eye.

★[3ch] Looking for Poseidon guild members]

“Shall we do it here?”

Without thinking, Yeowoon clicked the ‘Join Party’ button. When the
party leader accepted Yeowoon’s participation in the party, a mini
map showing the party status appeared in the upper left corner of
the screen. That was the incident that started everything.
There are a total of two party members. They were ‘Captain
Poseidon’ and ‘ㅈi9 Star’, a max level Night Spear. Joining the party
was easy. You can join by simply clicking on the party and joining the
party button.

‘Neutaaaa has joined the party.’

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅎㅇㅎㅇ

Ji9 Star was the party leader who accepted the party. Yeo-woon
thought this person was the guild master, so he put on his courtesy
and greeted him.

[Party] neutaaaa: Hello!

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m trying to join the guild.

Until then, I had no interest in guilds or in-game names, so I had no


idea what the Poseidon Guild was. This means that he was
completely unaware of the numerous rumors about Poseidon.
Earth Star looked at the party window, figured out where Yeo Woon
was, and moved straight there. Another party member, Captain
Poseidon, was silent as he was probably underwater.

Through the world mini map, a blue silhouette indicating a party


member was approaching. Yeowoon, who was sitting on the floor,
got up and jumped, preparing to greet the Earth Star.

However, the Earth Star that appeared in front of Yeo-woon stopped


in place and just looked at Yeo-woon for a long time. I said hello
earlier, should I say it again? The moment Yeowoon tried to speak
first, a speech bubble appeared above Earth Star’s head.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Why are you my boyfriend….thief

[Party] neutaaaa: ?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅅㅇ?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Did you come without seeing the party
introduction?

Party introduction? Was there such a thing? Yeowoon went back into
the party matching window, found the guild recruitment post, and
clicked on it. When I clicked on the party title, a join button and an
introduction to the party set up by the user appeared, and it seemed
to be talking about that.

The introduction was simple and clear.

‘200LV↑/Access rate↑/Interview o/Do daily quests/Must attend


ranking match’

Actually, I didn’t know there was a condition because I didn’t read it


in detail. I joined the guild for the first time after I announced my
intention to join. Although everyone has now escaped and become a
ghost guild. Among the conditions set forth by the guild, I was able
to confirm that the conditions did not meet the level, even if I did not
know anything else. Because Yeowoon had just passed level 120.

[Party] neutaaaa: Ah, I saw it nowㅠㅠ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Haha

[Party] neutaaaa: Too bad…ㅜㅜ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Yes haha

[Party] neutaaaa: But

[Party] neutaaaa: I think I’ll hit level 200 soon.


[Party] ㅈi9Star: Hahaha?

[Party] neutaaaa: I reached level 50 in one day, isn’t it cool?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ??

[Party] neutaaaa: I stayed up all night

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ?

[Party] neutaaaa: Level Nego doesn’t work hahaha

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ????????

It was just a joke. However, Earth Star did not seem to be generous
enough to accept such a joke. The person I was talking to didn’t
react very well, so it ended up being an embarrassing situation for
no reason. The moment I took a lick of my appetite and hovered
over the party withdrawal button, a speech bubble appeared above
Earth Star’s head.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Do you like me?


“…?”

[Party] ㅈi9Star: LOL

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Hey

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Why do you keep following me?

“…Eh?”

Who follows who? …I? Him?

Yeowoon had nothing to say and looked at the monitor for a while.
Since there was no answer, the Earth Star laughed again, ‘LOL’.

[Server] ㅈi9 Star: 3ch >neutaaaa< Whoever gets the fastest kill
wins 100 million

“uh…?”
What situation is this? The message was different in color from the
previous one. Upon closer inspection, it appeared that Earth Star
used a server microphone. Looking at the text in front of the bold
text, I saw that the server microphone had sent the same message
to all servers.

[Whispering] Mustard Ketchup Chicken Rice: Huh?

[Whispering] Berry Strawberry: Where are you?

[Whispering] Mustard Ketchup Chicken Rice: Huh?

[Whispering] Atil: What did you do wrong again?

[Whispering] Mustard Ketchup Chicken Rice: Huh?

[Whispering] Mustard Ketchup Chicken Rice: Huh?

[Whispering] Mustard Ketchup Chicken Rice: Huh?

People I didn’t know started sending me whispers. In the guild zone,


there is a system in place where users can hit and kill each other
without applying for PVP. Additionally, if you die in the guild zone,
you will receive a death penalty unless you possess the ‘Token of
Resurrection’ item.
Not long after the whispers poured in, users with rainbows wrapped
all over their bodies flew in and began to beat up the afterglow.
When Yeo-woon heard a loud hitting sound, he hurriedly took the
potion and tried to run out of the guild zone. He pressed the right
arrow key, but was tied up and beaten because of the user who
used the binding skill.

‘He died. Would you like to be resurrected in a village near you?’

Yeo-woon looked at the screen in fascination after seeing that his


character’s eyes had turned into X’s and some of his experience
points had been lost due to the death debuff.

[All] Berry Strawberry: Oops, I died^^v

[All] Donor: ?

[All] 101112: Oh, it’s late, Kavi

“What, I’m really dead?”

Yeowoon muttered absently. In an instant, I couldn’t quite


understand what had happened to me.
[All] Donor: Berry dog/bird hahaha

[All] Donor: Hey, I shaved off all of that person’s blood.

[All] Donner: He only hit the last hit haha.

[All] ㅈi9 stars: ㅇㅅㅇ haha

[All] Donor: Wow, no matter how much I think about it, this isn’t it.

[All] Donor: If you have a conscience, resign yourself.

[All] Berry Strawberry: I was the last one to hit it lol I was the first to
arrive

[All] Donor: You’re leaving because there’s no evidence?

[All] Berry Strawberry: ㅇㅉ Then you shouldn’t have worked harder


and hit it last?

[All] Donor: Hey then

[All] Donor: Let’s split it 7:3. I am 7 you are 3

[All] Donor: Deal?


Donner and Berry Strawberry were making a deal with Yeowoon’s
death. Yeo Woon, the person involved, said nothing.

[All] Berry Strawberry: It sounds like dill haha.

[All] Berry Strawberry: If I report this without manners, only my


name will appear in the log.

[All] Berry Strawberry: Then I’m the only one who eats the sanctions
haha.

[All] Berry Strawberry: Then isn’t it just a benefit to you?

[All] Donor: LOL Are you doing the illusion for a day or two?

[All] Donor: You won’t be sanctioned for something like this, you
idiot;

[All] Berry Strawberry: Yes, no, the beginner kill is a non-sale


warning^^ Since it is subject to sanctions, I will leave it to you as a
kill agent haha.

[All] Donor: Yes, no~^^

[All] Berry Strawberry: It’s okay ^^ Is your brain like udon noodles?
[All] Donor: Yes, your face~

[All] Berry Strawberry: Yes.

[All] Donor: Earth Star, who will receive it like this? You can decide;;

[All] ㅈi9 stars: Haha, you two should come to an agreement >_<

[All] Berry Strawberry: LOL I like it LOL

[All] Donor: Come on!

As soon as Earthstar jumped up and out of range, Donner and Berry


Strawberry suddenly started fighting among themselves. Brilliant
skills and double insults were poured onto the map, and in the
middle of them, Yeowoon’s character was seen as a useless corpse.
Among the flashy characters, my character with the title of [just past
the beginner level] looked pitiful today.

[All] Green Tea Latte: Oh, kinda; Don’t fight in the center!!!! I almost
died on the road.

[All] Dadfather: The guild zone is a fight on a stupid day. I think it’s
better here than fighting in Sasage haha.
[All] Dark Flame Dragon: Another day

“….”

I’m the one who died, so why are they fighting? Yeowoon could only
laugh and watch the two fight.

[All] Berry Strawberry: Haha, weak things always talk a lot

The fight that lasted for a long time ended with Berry Strawberry’s
victory.

[All] ㅈi9star: Please send the kill verification image to


earth1010@ssmail.com

[All] Berry Strawberry: Yes~~~

“Really what? “The guy who killed me is getting real money?”


It was so absurd that I just laughed. I’ve seen people killing each
other and dying in the guild zone a few times, but I never thought I’d
be the target.

[Party] neutaaaa: Hey….

[Party] neutaaaa: I think there is some misunderstanding.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: What misunderstanding?

[Party] neutaaaa: I didn’t follow you…ㅜㅜ

The afterglow was unfair. He’s even the first user I’ve seen today.
Do you think it makes sense to suddenly kill someone like this
without giving them time to resolve the misunderstanding? But the
Earth Star laughed again, ‘Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk’.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Looking at the character, I saw that it was created


yesterday.

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m level 120?


[Party] Ji9 Byul: Looks like you stayed up all night haha

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Hey

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Aren’t you tired of doing this every time you join the
alt cast?

[Party] neutaaaa: Alt…No, I saw it….

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I saw it, but why is it like this lol

“It’s real, it’s a dog.”

Without even realizing it, a curse came out. How was this raised….
He was a character I raised with great care by giving him cash items
and adding options to his armor, but when he belittled me by calling
him a scoundrel, my murderous will rose up. I don’t know where you
are so quick to judge that he is an alt.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: LOL

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Just say you like me

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I will understand leniently and move onㅠㅠ


[Party] neutaaaa: I hate it;

Am I crazy? Even if I die, I can’t do that.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Otherwise, I don’t know why you would be so


persistent….

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Why are you living?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: What an obsessive dog you are

[Party] ㅈi9Star: It’s good if you get caught once and join, but not if it
doesn’t work out.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Isn’t that how you feel?

“Oh.”

Yeowoon felt a little stung by those words. It was true that I brought
up the story of Level Nego just in case. But I thought this was not
what he was saying, so I decided to listen a little more.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Without effort to level up

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Do you think that everything will be resolved if you


insist on signing up with a new alt every time?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Don’t live like that.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Your life is pitiful haha

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Do you want to ride the bus while hearing this from
someone you don’t even know?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: If it were me, I would have quit a long time ago
haha.

“No shit, the batter….”

Why are you typing so fast? I can’t see any room to intervene. As I
was looking at the monitor in confusion for a while, the Earth Star
split into pieces again, saying, ‘LOL.’
[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Hahahahaha why aren’t you saying anything?ㅠㅠ
Are you being stabbed?

It’s not that I was stabbed, it was that I couldn’t keep up with the
speed of the horse. As I listened to what he said, it seemed like
Earth Star had mistaken himself for someone else. Only then did
Yeowoon come to his senses and ask what he was most curious
about.

[Party] neutaaaa: How much time do you have to type?

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Faster than you

[Party] neutaaaa: Ah yes; IM jealous….

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㄱㅅㄱㅅ If I fight with kids like you all the time, this
will quickly happen!><

I’m not even angry anymore. The guy clearly misunderstood


something. If you listen a little, you will understand that this is not
the case, but it seems like he is busy only pouring out what he has
to say. Yeowoon calmly took a deep breath and typed.
[Party] neutaaaa: Listen to me

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I can’t hear you, how can I hear you? LOL

[Party] neutaaaa: Then take a look;

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅋ~ Talk about it

[Party] neutaaaa: Today is your first meeting with me.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Indeed hahahaha

[Party] neutaaaa: I was level 120 and wanted to join a guild, but I
lost my experience because of you who was at max level.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, it’s like the title of a light novel.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I guess you read often!

[Party] neutaaaa: Let’s do something….

[Party] neutaaaa: I don’t know what happened to Earth Star so far,


but

[Party] neutaaaa: Aren’t you saying too much to a good user based
on your opinion without any basis? :)
In fact, I was going to say two things out of my mouth, but I couldn’t
be the same person as the other person, so I decided to respond as
calmly as possible. He even put on a smiling face at the end, so I
think the other person would have calmed down a little.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: I give you a pico score of A ^^

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: But now with an acting score of F

[Party] ㅈi9 stars: Total score is F

Calm is shit. Typing speed has become faster. As it happened, the


most recently saved stone pagoda was within the guild zone, so
trying to resurrect and run away was of no use. It was right next to
it. If I had known this would happen, I would have bought some warp
capsules.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m at a loss for words again haha

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: You didn’t know I would come out like this? I guess
you didn’t know
[Party] ㅈi9Star: It’s okay for a bastard like you to say something to
me, but

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: If a ranker says one wrong word to a single user,
he or she becomes a felonㅜㅜ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Hmm, I’m not the GM and I can swear a bitㅠㅅㅠ
What are you saying….

[Party] neutaaaa: You’re the one saying something right now, not
me?

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Anmul

[Party] neutaaaa: Hey there

[Party] ㅈi9Star: What to do?

I couldn’t understand anything at all. Is this what it feels like to fight


with an opinionated kindergartener?

[Party] neutaaaa: I’ll just leave….


[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Let me know what time you will be uploading your
new work today~

What is the new work talking about?? I had no idea what he was
talking about.

“What the hell did I say?”

Yeowoon grumbled in anger. Buses, hogunis, I don’t know anything


about that. My only crime is trying to join any guild. It’s true….

[Party] neutaaaa: wlsWk ahtqhkTekrndy

[Party] neutaaaa: dksl

Why is it suddenly coming out in English? Yeowoon pressed the


language switch key and then pressed the Enter key again with his
little finger. I was planning to repeat what I said earlier, but Earth
Star struck first.
[Party] ㅈi9Star: Kor translation plz :(

[Party] neutaaaa: I really didn’t see the party introduction.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Thx :)

[Party] neutaaaa: Ha….

If you swear twice, I would at least report you as a user with bad
manners. There was no way to stop him from being sarcastic and
sarcastic.

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m a newbie so I didn’t know much about the guild
system.

[Party] neutaaaa: Really

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I didn’t know because I was a newbie ㅠㅠ


<<Interpretation - It’s a game window, but I knew everything

[Party] neutaaaa: No?

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Interpretation - Caught Eunuch 1 shot


“….”

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Hahaha, you got stabbed, right?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I saw right through it, right?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅈㄴIs that accurate?

I should just play solo. Or just join any beginner guild! It was such a
waste of time that I had to get my experience points deducted and
have to listen to curses for no reason just because I was fooled by a
crazy person.

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m really going out…. I was hoping to clear up the
misunderstanding, but you don’t seem to have any intention of doing
so.

[Party] neutaaaa: Please….

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, let’s leave because we got stabbed, right?

[Party] neutaaaa: ㄴ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Interpretation-ㅇ


Yeo-woon decided to muster up a thousand years of patience and
forgive the guy just once. Just don’t deal with it. Chew your tongue
while eating. I missed the bus, so I ran and smashed my phone. On
the way out, I got hit on the head by a pigeon. I guess I should just
act like I stepped on shit and leave the party.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Ah, Earth Star!

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Did you hit it? Why is it like this all of a
sudden….;;;

[Party] Captain Poseidon: English, wait a minute.

The person who was away at that time returned. I felt like I was
going to say something, but I didn’t want to stay at this party
anymore. Yeowoon flicked his middle finger at the monitor and
immediately left the party.

‘neutaaaa has left the party.’


And as soon as he was revived from the stone pagoda, he ran
blindly to the side, and soon after, the Earth Star appeared. Earth
Star caught up with Yeo Woon’s character who was running through
Dajjagojja Village.

‘Why so fast?’

The speed was such that my jaw dropped. It was an instant to catch
up to this distance, as if there was a higher compatible version of
the closing skill.

‘Zero wave!’

Earth Star knocked Yeo Woon’s character away with a one-shot skill.
There was a clicking sound and my character’s back was bent. A
critical sign appeared at once, and then he died again and his
experience points were reduced again.

‘He died. Would you like to be resurrected in a village near you?’

[All] neutaaaa: Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Oh my, what a mistake


Accidentally using a skill and hitting someone to death? That can’t
be possible.

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: When I call you that, you stop hahahaha

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Didn’t I call you?;;

[Whisper] Gi9 Star: Is that so?>_<

That’s right, you fucking bastard. Yeowoon pressed the revive button
on the nearby stone tower. And while I was running to the other
side, something that looked like a fly flew out from behind me like a
rocket and landed in front of me. Yeowoon was astonished.

‘It’s almost the end of the map, but you caught up with my character
so quickly?’

This would be impossible unless there was an expedient. Something


was strange.

[Whispering] Gi9 Byul: Let me clear up any misunderstandings for a


moment!
[Whispering] neutaaaa: ??

Yeowoon stopped for a moment and wrote a question mark in the


chat window. What a misunderstanding. There is no way there could
be a misunderstanding between him and me.

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Because of you, my position in the guild was


loweredㅠ I feel sorry for you

The Earth Star made a motion of hitting the ground and crying. To
my surprise, a faint smile spread across my lips.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Good good ^^

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: ?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Nice ^^


I don’t know what it is, but I think it’s really good. Seeing as how he
was so annoyed that he followed me here.

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: It’s unlucky

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Praise ^^

I’ve never fought like an elementary school student like this in my


life, but since the person I was dealing with was like an elementary
school student, I started talking in this way without even realizing it.
Isn’t there a saying, “An eye for an eye?”

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Stop using smiling emoticons ㄱ- I feel weird.

[Whisper] Gi9 Byul: Gilma is still calling me trash. What are you
going to do with this?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Garbage << Say it’s right :)


It seems that the person who was diving earlier was the guild
master. Then why did this guy who wasn’t even a Gilma get so
irritated by being so quick? …Anyway, that was none of my
business. Feeling relieved, Yeowoon moved the map to the right.

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Yap

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Trash Punch><

However, the Earth Star seemed to not be tired as it followed my


character and moved around, pummeling my character with a
normal attack skill. What’s more annoying is that, perhaps because
he was at max level, he didn’t even get hit by five basic hits, but
more than half of his health was lost, so he had to use a blood-like
health potion.

When I managed to get out of the guild zone, I was able to escape
the fear of PK. I don’t plan on setting foot near the guild zone for the
time being.

‘Should I just move the channel somewhere else….’

[Whispering] i9 star: Where are you going?


[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Nim

[Whispering] Ji9 Byul: Where are you going?

[Whispering] Ji9 Byul: Hey, where are you going instead of talking?

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Nim

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Nim

[Whispering] ㅈi9Star: Just tell me that you liked me so much that


you even dug my alt.

[Whispering] ㅈi9Star: Over there

[Whispering] i9star: Can you see my chat….

“Why is he typing so fast….”

The speed of chatting was as fast as speaking directly. It was almost


at batting average, and it was impossible to understand unless it
was written down in advance and then copied and pasted.

‘ㅈi9star sent a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’


At that time, a large friend request window appeared on the screen.
A full-level nightspear flew around, boasting an afterimage effect. It
seemed like a urging to quickly accept the friend request. Of course
I refused.

‘You have rejected my friend request.’

‘ㅈi9star sent a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’

‘You have rejected my friend request.’

‘ㅈi9star sent a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’

‘You have rejected my friend request.’

I couldn’t go anywhere because of the friend requests that kept


coming in. The persistent messages and friend request windows
kept blocking my screen. Sometimes, one-on-one PVP windows and
party invitation windows would pop up. After rejecting the incoming
messages twenty times in a row, the Earth Star stopped flying
around and stood in front of Yeo Woon’s character.

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Over there;


Why are you upset? I couldn’t figure out his intentions. I just wanted
you to leave the party gracefully, what more do you want?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: A kid?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: I have a lot of friends, so I don’t plan on


being friends with him.

[Whispering] i9 star: This is ridiculous. Are you bragging about how


many friends you have?

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: If you think about it that way, I have more friends
than you.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Ah yes….

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Since you keep not listening to me and trying to


go somewhere, I don’t need to put something on the screen and
block it.ㅠ

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Ah…I see.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Sorry, I have nothing more to sayㅜㅜ

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Don’t follow me


[Whispering] Ji9 Byul: Then I won’t follow you, so please whisper to
Gilma and tell her that you have made up with me!

[Whispering] i9 star: Let’s say I apologized!><

“what….”

If you apologize, what’s the point of saying you did it?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Am I a kid?ㅠ

[Whispering] Gi9Star: No…. But since a while ago, you keep secretly
pretending it was a typo….

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Then you can’t do it secretly and openly.ㅠㅠ

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: …?

The answer to a sarcastic person was to return it as is. The best


way was not to deal with it, but even if I changed the channel, it
somehow knew and kept following me.
[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: No, I really don’t understand.

[Whispering] Gi9 Byul: Why on earth are you doing this to me?

[Whispering] Gi9 Byul: Do you know me?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: That’s what I’m going to say

[Whispering] Gi9 Byul: I’m the only one making weird people, and
Pico is really….

[Whispering] neutaaaa: ㄷㄷ? Maybe you don’t know what pico


means….

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: I know;

[Whispering] neutaaaa: What is it?

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Victim cosplay, what are you doing now;;

[Whispering] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh really, what should I do with my position


ㅠ Give it back!!ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Whispering] neutaaaa: I guess that’s not my part-time job.


‘ㅈi9star sent a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’

‘You have rejected my friend request.’

It was difficult to play the game smoothly because of the annoyingly


flying windows. Moreover, it followed me to the field and interfered
with my hunting.

[Whispering] i9star: Trash punch!

Because he wiped out all the monsters on the map, the quest did
not progress at all. I wanted to just knock down the Earth Stars
flying here and there, but this wasn’t a guild zone and he was a max
level user, so I couldn’t hit him.

‘How can I not do something like blocking?’

Even while looking around in the settings window, friend requests


continued.

‘ㅈi9star sent a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’

‘You have rejected my friend request.’


Ah, it’s annoying. I really don’t feel like playing the game today
because of the aggro. Yeowoon put down the headphones and
pressed the power button to completely turn off the computer.

***

When I logged back into the game the next day, new mail had
arrived.

‘New mail has arrived. Please check your mailbox.’

I went to the village postman to check whether it was an event mail,


and found that there were two mails in total, one from Captain
Poseidon and one from ㅈi9 Star.

‘I don’t know what to say, but why did that guild master send me
mail…?’

Yeowoon first opened the mail that arrived from Captain Poseidon.

[Received mail]
Sender : Poseidon Captain

Tittle : .

Hello, neutaaaa. I am the Poseidon Guild Master.

This is because I am concerned that our guild member behaved


rudely while doing some business yesterday. I should have
intervened appropriately, but something suddenly came up and I am
sorry for making you hear such harsh words while I was away.

Recently, there was a person who came into the guild with malicious
intent, recklessly asked for a ride on a bus, and posted defamatory
comments about our guild and its members. We are having trouble
with some users who unilaterally find out the personal information
and social media accounts of rankers in the guild, spread rumors,
and even make malicious reports.

I know this isn’t an excuse, but since many of the guild members
were under stress, I think ㅈi9 Byul was acting a bit sensitive.

First of all, the guild member’s guild position has been temporarily
suspended. I promised to raise my position again after giving a
sincere apology to neutaaaa, so if you feel relieved after receiving
the apology from the guild member in question, I would appreciate it
if you could send me a message or a whisper.
The mail was long enough to scroll down. After skimming over what
was being said, Yeowoon began to think more.

“…Do people really have nothing to do? “How can a game like this
reveal personal information?”

I never entered the illusion bulletin board unless it was time to obtain
skill tree information, so I had no idea there was such a conflict.
After reading the guild master’s mail, I felt like my dumbfounded
mind had completely melted. It was different from the blue -haired
chewy chewy who had followed up to talk about it.

“… That kind of thing happened.”

It’s good that even the guild master has common sense. Because it
was an understandable reason, my heart naturally became
generous. It could have happened if he had touched a sensitive part.
If I had said this earlier, I would have apologized and left. Yeowoon
clicked the next mail with a smile on his face. My relaxed mind once
again froze like a lake in the middle of winter.

[Received mail]

Sender : ㅈi9 stars


Title : Read!

Hello, this is Ji9 Byul! Yesterday I


I want to say sorry.
Because I don’t think I did it! Sorry
I do it. I reflected…The thing that killed that person
I bow my head (--)(__) and apologize.
Well, we will become a good earth from now on! >_ㅇ

Attachment: Shiny Apple ×99

“… What is it, is he an elementary school student?”

No, even for an elementary school student, his vocabulary and


spelling skills were serious. No matter how I look at it, I can’t help
but think it was written like this on purpose. Also, why are the line
breaks so weird? Yesterday, we talked just fine.

After looking at the letter for a while and reading the first letter, I was
able to figure out what he was really trying to say.

‘I’m not sorry.’

“uh?”

effort! The scene where the character winked and said those words
seemed to be vividly depicted before my eyes.

“…under.”

Yeowoon, who had been sitting blankly for a while, burst out laughing
as if it was absurd. Looking at him, he was a guy who shouldn’t have
passed on like this. Since he followed me around like that yesterday
and gave me such a shit, it must be such a bad thing if his guild
position goes down. So you probably sent the mail as instructed,
right?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Hello!

When Yeowoon set Captain Poseidon as the target and sent a


whisper, the message was sent. He too was currently logged into
the game.

[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: Ah, hello!

[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: You are the person from yesterday,


right?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: I saw your mail.

I felt like a student trying to tell the teacher something, but I couldn’t
find a better way than this. Yesterday, it was more effective to go out
in a reckless manner and match the level of the conversation than to
try to have a calm conversation.
[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: Did you get any more mail besides
mine?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Ah yes….

[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: Oh, that’s a good thing.

Is this really fortunate?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Could you please tell him one thing?

[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: Of course!

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Please tell me that you received 99 shiny


apples.

[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: Yes?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: I took it to a tool store and sold it and


earned 99 won. Thank you so much, I will use it to help with my
household expenses^^
[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: ….

Yes, this is not what you heard. But I don’t plan on swearing. If you
look at it, this person was also a person who was caught in the
middle and was suffering for no reason.

[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: Are you saying that Earth Star has
sent an item…?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: I sent the password using only the first letter,
so it took a while to crack….

[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: Wow

[Whispering] neutaaaa: ㅠㅠI guess you were trying to say sorry


because there were 99 apples, right?

Captain Poseidon paused for a while before replying to Yeoun’s


sarcasm.
[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: I’m sorry, but could you please
forward that mail to me as is?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Yes haha

I was just waiting for these words.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: I sent you the mail^-^

[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: Thank you!

[Whisper] neutaaaa: I am more grateful^^

[Whisper] neutaaaa: I’m sorry for bothering you by inserting you in


the middle.

[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: Oh, don’t say anything ㅜㅜ

Please handle it well.


***

When Yeowoon pressed Esc while trading items at the village


auction house, a character from each district appeared right in front
of him. As if he had just arrived, a speech bubble appeared above
his head.

[All] ㅈi9Star: Nim!!

It has come. I’m sure you heard something from Gilma, right? Are
you trying to apologize to me? Yeowoon chuckled with the corners of
his mouth hanging from his ears.

[All] ㅈi9 stars: Hahahahaha really

[All] ㅈi9 Byul: Why are you doing this to me ㅠ_ㅠ?

[All] ㅈi9Star: Do you know me?


It was obvious that he would be fuming. Good, dog bastard….

[All] ㅈi9Star: Do you know me?

[All] neutaaaa: Hahahaha no?

[All] ㅈi9 stars: Well done

[All] ㅈi9 Byul: Then let’s find out now!

‘Ji9Star has applied for a relationship! Do you want to accept it?’

At that time, an information window appeared on the screen with a


popping sound. Friend request sent by Earth Star…This is not it.
Apply for fellowship?

“what…?”

[All] Halloween Eggplant: ? Why are you so crazy hahahaha


Below the information window, the Earth Star character was kneeling
in front of my character and holding out a ring. And the [Poseidon]
guild hanging above the Earth Star was shining brightly above the
heads of other users.

[All] Park Hwi Bug: ??? Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: While eating ramen, I came to watch
the planet apologize, and I wonder what happened….

[All] Park Hwi Bug: What do you eat?

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Yukgaejang Bowl Noodles!

[All] Park Hwibugae: Sounds delicious…. You know it needs to be


undercooked.

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: You don’t know?

[All] Park Hwi Bug: It’s Laalmot.

The afterimage effect on the users who suddenly gathered around


was very flashy. For no reason, I felt intimidated by the shiny
characters standing next to my character.
[All] Wandu Wandya: Hahahaha, the Earth is so crazy. Yesterday, it
was too much, and today it’s even worse.

[All] Wandu Wandya: Gapbun Proposal ㄷㄷ

[All] Captain Poseidon: ….

[All] Park Hwi Bug: What should I do, Gilma is broken ㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[All] Halloween Eggplant: My capture button is broken. Can


someone help me capture this?

[All] Cat cat cat: ㅇㅋ

[All] Halloween Eggplant: ㄱㅅㄱㅅ

Is this the cyberbullying we only heard about? It’s against the rules
to bring your friends…. I don’t know how many Poseidon guild
members are here right now. On the other hand, I don’t have any
gaming friends…. You are in a disadvantageous position.
[All] ㅈi9Star: Will you accept my proposal?

[All] neutaaaa: No

[All] ㅈi9 stars: I bought 50 rings. Should I buy more? >_<

Fifty…? Yeowoon blinked and stared at the information window.


Dating. Why all of a sudden…. What on earth are you planning?
Anxiety came over me.

‘You refused companionship. The confession event buff is activated


for 10 minutes.’

‘Minimum attack power increased by 25%’

[All] Halloween Eggplant: I was kicked hahahaha

[All] Park Hwibugae: Hahahahahahaha

[All] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahaha

[All] Kitty Meow Meow Meow: I feel sorry for him. How could
someone like Earth get screwed over?

[All] ㅈi9 stars: 4,900 won wastedㅠㅇㅠ


[All] Wandu Wanda: Are you okay? There are still 49 left.

[All] ㅈi9 stars: 5,000 won is number 20 in the royal drawㅠㅠㅠㅠ

The Royal Draw was a probability item sold at stores for 200 won in
cash. As I watched him say that, it seemed like the 4,900 won item
was a cash item.

“crazy. One item costs 4,900 won in cash? 4,900 won for a one-time
topic?”

If you think about it, 4,900 won is not a large amount of money, but
when it was incorporated into the game, it somehow felt bigger.

‘Ji9 Star has applied for a relationship! Do you want to accept it?’

Earth Star also used an item worth 4,900 won. But when I thought
about it, I felt a little unfair. They were the ones who started the fight
in the first place, and they were the ones who told nonsense in the
mail, so why do I have to suffer?

[All] neutaaaa: Why are you doing this to me?

[All] ㅈi9 stars: Hahahahahaha


[All] ㅈi9 Star: Because Gilma showed his sincerity in front of
everyone

[All] Captain Poseidon: ?

[All] ㅈi9 Byul: I want to show you my sincerity ♡

The heart shape at the end of the sentence was awkward. It looks
like a skull split in half, and no matter how you look at it, it doesn’t
look like a favorable sign. Are you trying to kill me?

[All] Captain Poseidon: When did I do that…. I told you to apologize


sincerely.

[All] ㅈi9 Star: “If Earth Star shows sincerity and he accepts it, I will
raise his position.”

[All] ㅈi9Star: I said so? I didn’t tell you to apologize! Are there any
witnesses?

[All] Captain Poseidon: Where are the witnesses?


At those words, the guild members who were quietly watching this
scene came forward and claimed to be witnesses.

[All] Halloween Branch: Witness 1

[All] Park Hwi Bug: Witness 2

[All] al0ha: Haha, I guess so….I don’t remember haha Anyway,


Witness 3

[All] Captain Poseidon: Ah

[All] Cat cat cat: Hahahaha Witness 4

[All] Park Hwibugae: Witness 5!!

Everyone was laughing, but Yeowoon couldn’t smile. I heard that


ring costs 4,900 won…. You’re using it for pranks?

It seemed like the only people here who couldn’t laugh were Captain
Poseidon and himself. As Yeowoon froze for a long time, unable to
press the reject or accept buttons, a large number appeared on the
screen. 3, 2, 1….
It was so sad to see the money disintegrate in the air. Of course,
since it wasn’t my money, I could have pretended not to notice, but it
was still a waste. Without realizing it, Yeowoon hovered the mouse
over the accept button, and the moment her index finger pressed
down on the mouse, a heart effect filled the monitor and light pink
flower petals fluttered in the sky. The only thing on the screen were
speech bubbles saying ‘hahahahahahaha’.

‘The couple has been established! Please check your skills in the
couple window♡’

‘The [Couple] tab has been created in the chat window. Secret
conversations between lovers are now possible!’

[All] ㅈi9Star: Huh? He really accepts it haha. I guess he likes me….

[All] neutaaaa: Sea squirt sound….

[All] ㅈi9Star: Good><

[All] Halloween Eggplant: This house is good at dramas.

[All] Park Hwibugae: Isn’t the sad ending confirmed? It seems like a
divorce will come before a wedding….

[All] Halloween Eggplant: Please refrain from spoiling the ending


I accidentally made a lover in the game. And with the guy we didn’t
get along well with, even with the guy I met yesterday.

[All] ㅈ i9 stars: ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ We are close> _ <

[All] neutaaaa: ㄴ

[All] ㅈi9Star: Why did you let me receive guidance….

Unlucky. I’m really annoyed. Yeowoon hit the Earth Star character
with his fist with a normal attack, but it had no effect.

[All] ㅈi9Star: This place is good at giving massages~

[All] neutaaaa: ㅡㅡ;

All the users with the Poseidon Guild seal were giggling.
[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: I’m sorry, I’m sorry ㅠㅠ I’ll try to
comfort you. I’ve never ordered anything like this before.

Aside from the hated Earth Star, I felt very sorry for the Poseidon
Guild Master who seemed to be truly sorry. I can’t believe they have
guild members like this. What a great person this is.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: No, I’ll take care of it…. Thank you for caring
me

[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: No ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Sigh ㅠㅠㅠ I’m


sorryㅜ

[Whispering] neutaaaa: It’s my job haha.

[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: I’m sorryㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Whispering] neutaaaa: No, I should be sorry

[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: I’m really sorryㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ



I don’t know who it is, but don’t cry over that bastard. I felt so sorry
for the guild master whose face I did not know, and a part of my
heart felt sad.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Star: Level 124? Then you must be on a job change
quest now.

“…!”

How does he know that? I got goosebumps because I had just


received a job change quest. At that point, it seemed like you could
tell what quest you were on just by looking at the level.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Do you want me to help you?

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㄴ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Star: Interpretation - Huge Gain


[Couple] neutaaaa: Do you speak Korean? They say it’s not
necessary

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahaha

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Why do you act like you don’t like it…. Isn’t that
what you wanted anyway?

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㄴㄴ

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Interpretation - Caught

I couldn’t understand the planet Earth at all. There was no sign of an


apology at all. If you think about it in terms of common sense, is it
sane to propose to someone you just broke up with after getting into
an argument that even an elementary school student wouldn’t have
had, even entrusting him with a murder contract?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Are you taking revenge on me?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: No? I’m just doing this because I’m bored.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahahaha….


[Couple] ㅈi9Star: I’ll help you level up, so I’m telling you to eat and
leave >_<!

[Couple] neutaaaa: I don’t need it.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Are you going to change your mind again later? I
will help you until you change jobs, so please stop telling Mrs. Gil.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Is this a promising future? My dream came true


haha

[Couple] neutaaaa: Yes?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m going to end it on my own terms. Talk to the
members, whisper in their ears, say hello, and don’t act so friendly.
It’s really annoyingㅡㅡ

The main point was this. I guess the purpose was to not pretend to
know anything about the Poseidon guild members.

“….”

However, Yeo-woon had no intention of letting Earth Star do what


she wanted. He pulled up the chat window, looked through the
conversation history, and clicked on the nicknames of people who
appeared to be Poseidon guild members to send friend requests to
all of them. Every time I clicked the mouse, my friends increased by
one.
‘You became friends with Captain Poseidon!’

‘You became friends with al0ha!’

‘You became friends with Kitty Cat Meow Cat!’

[Friend] Kitty Nyang Na Nyang: Cheer up, English…. From today


onwards, my dream is to not be like you.

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: Cat ㅠㅠ Even if it’s a joke, please refrain


from saying things like that….

[Friend] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I can do it if I’m sincere????

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: No.

[Friend] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Yes….

‘You became friends with Park Hwibugae!’

‘You became friends with Wandu Wandya!’

‘You became friends with Halloween Eggplant!’

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: Wow, I became a friend too


I don’t know why, but everyone accepted my friend request without
rejecting it. Not a single person was left out. Is this the essence of
RPG games? I couldn’t understand why he accepted my friend
request when I wasn’t even a member of that guild, but these people
seemed kind of interesting.

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: What are you doing now?

Earth Star asked how someone found out that she had submitted a
friend request. And not long after, a window appeared on the screen
saying that someone had sent a message to add friends.

‘ㅈi9star sent a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’

Am I crazy? make friends with you


‘You have rejected the friend request.’

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Wow, this is ridiculousㅡㅡ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Why don’t you accept me?

[Couple] neutaaaa: I don’t want to receive it.

‘ㅈi9star sent a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’

‘You have rejected the friend request.’

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: Wow….

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: Wow…. It’s okay, I’m not friends with you either.

‘ㅈi9star sent a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’

‘You have rejected the friend request.’

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ….

Earth Star was in a bad mood all day because her friend request
wasn’t accepted, so she occasionally sent friend requests.
‘ㅈi9star sent a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’

‘You have rejected the friend request.’

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: It’s really absurd…You accept my request to


date, but you don’t accept me as a friend.

[Couple] neutaaaa: If it’s illegal, file a complaint.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Do you know that you’re really hot?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Please sue^^

[Couple] neutaaaa: Oh, the boss has appeared

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: ㅅㅂNow I’m going to openly manipulate you ;;

[Couple] neutaaaa: You said you should take care of him first?

‘ㅈi9star sent a friend request. Do you want to accept it?’

‘You have rejected the friend request.’

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: This is really absurdㄱ- Why won’t you accept me
as a friend, but I gave you a buff and gave you a treat?
[Couple] neutaaaa: What to do

Would you want to be friends with someone who treats you like this?
Moreover, there are so many signs that he still hates Yeo-un
himself. Earth Star was a really strange person. In one day, as many
as fifteen people were registered on Yeowoon’s friend list, but there
was no space for Earth Star.

Title: That guild again


Written by: Gak Kimchijil/Hero

(Screenshot_0003820.jpg)

Posh Baldon, these guys are recruiting guild members again.

I hope there are no people who avoid it without knowing anything


haha.
I definitely warned you

(65 comments were registered.)


-I saw a guy over there walking around town and he was so damn
fast…Aren’t you writing a bug?
⤷Illusion Gaemang Game; Has the mobile speed limit been broken?
⤷If it was a bug with the staff of circulation, it would be discovered
and patched every time. It’s blocked now.
⤷Not that, just…I heard you’re flying while using skills?
⤷Isn’t it true that skills have movement attached?
⤷But you only use a mobile device and it’s that fast? The default
skill cooldown is 40 seconds, right?

-Why? Gilleb is high, what are they doing? You have to say it to
avoid it.
⤷Is your finger bruised? Don’t search and expect someone else to
spoon-feed it to you. Just search a little and you’ll find it.
⤷Where did you get beaten up? If you don’t know, there are a lot of
things to get angry about.

-Promotion ㄱㅅ I should apply at least once~ The conditions are


really nothing special, so why haha, isn’t it a piece of cake if you just
meet the level? Buff Guild!
⤷I’m going to write this while crying later.
⤷They are putting pressure on me for an interview at a large
company.
⤷If there are job seekers or high school seniors here, it wouldn’t be
a bad idea to apply and practice for an interview! The question is so
stupid that it really helps with quick thinking. I applied there three
times and was rejected all three times, but I succeeded in getting a
job with this;;
⤷crazy guy hahaha you crazy guy
⤷ㄴㄴWhat on earth are you asking? Hahahahahahahaha
⤷ㄴㄴㄴI mean hahaha, it’s true hahaha It’s my first time seeing a
personality test done at a guild interview haha.
⤷What is the positive function? Isn’t it free study? Hahahahahahaha
-Poseidon is evil haha. They are the ones who replace several
people with shuttles and force them to withdraw from the season
ranking event. Even their contributions are eaten up…ㅠ Don’t be
fooled into joining just because there are a few top rankers. They
are regular members and the newly recruited ones are trophy
cleaners. If you go in anyway, it’s likely that your contributions will
only be taken advantage of and then thrown away, right?
⤷Eng, as soon as you join the guild, there must be a lot of kids who
use fruits to do event quests, and they really make a lot of money.
⤷Fuck they’re the last ones. They used to be that kind of guild…? I
thought you just heard it lol
⤷LOL But I heard that the kids who got in that way were also a bit
strange.
⤷ㄴPoseidon welcome back
⤷ㄴㄴFㅋㅋㅋ
⤷ㄴㄴㄴThose comments were made anonymously. Nick, talk to me
lol, you are Poseidon.

-I’m really curious. What on earth are they asking during the
interview? I’m not applying, I’m just curious! I’ve only done my
second job change so far.
⤷ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I failed last monthㅋㅋㅋㅋ I’m asking what your
strengths and weaknesses are. So, I said that it is weak against
heroes, but instead, I put strong+shiny on my equipment, so it is
strong against single-sniping dealers in PVP? But it turned out that I
was talking about strengths and weaknesses in personality…; No, if
you are asked about your strengths and weaknesses in an interview
in a game, isn’t it normal for you to answer like me?ㅠㅠ They don’t
even give you time to search, there’s a human stopwatch…. Only
those with a Korean typing ability of 1500 or higher should apply.
⤷ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
⤷What is a stopwatch?
⤷ㄴWhen answering, count down as you wish;
⤷Are you crazy hahahahahaha
⤷They asked me what I thought about the 4th Industrial Revolution,
but I couldn’t tell them because I didn’t know what it was;
⤷ㄴㅅㅂ
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
⤷ㄴㄴIs that a doctoral guild by any chance? Haha why are you
asking all that?
⤷ㄴㄴㄴFuck, even if I graduate from college, I can’t even apply
because I have a bachelor’s degree;
⤷ㄹㅇ That bastard is so fast at typing haha A kid who looks like Isis
suddenly said 5 4 3 2 1 so I was so embarrassed that I left the party.
⤷She asked me if I liked dogs or cats haha. I said I didn’t like both
because they were too much of a hassle to feed, and I only liked
small, cute hamsters, so she told me to love animals and was kicked
out of the party…Are you going to hire someone or not?

***

“Umm….”

I just woke up to the sound of a text message and opened my eyes


blurry. Yeowoon, who had been vaguely reading the text in his sleep,
woke up with his eyes wide open.

「[Web sender] Hello, Yeowoon Lee.

I am an ATB recruiter.
Congratulations on passing the document.

Afterwards, the interview schedule will be emailed to you.

“I sent it to you, so please check it.”

I received a text message saying that the documents I submitted


after seeing the job posting a week ago had been accepted.

“What!”

I woke up suddenly. I never thought it would stick here. The thing I


had put in there just in case got stuck, so I was more scared than
excited. You may fail the interview, but what does it mean to pass
the documents? Interviews are all about experience, so it was
beneficial to just go for it. The only interview I had ever seen in my
life was when I was working part-time at a PC cafe, so my heart was
already pounding.

What should I wear for an interview? A neat suit would be the most
acceptable, but do we have that in our house now? Yeowoon
opened the closet door to see if he had to go back to his parents’
house.

“…Ah, thank goodness.”

Fortunately, after going to the dry cleaners, I was able to find the
clothes still sitting in the closet, even covered with plastic.
***

The interview location was not that far away. Two transfers by
subway in 45 minutes. Although I had to transfer at a particularly
crowded station, it was still okay because few people were using the
subway in the late afternoon.

‘Oh, what if it sticks?’

My head hurts just thinking about taking the subway in the morning.
What should I do if I receive an acceptance letter from somewhere
else? If I sign up, the contract period will end soon. Should I move
instead of extending it?

Yeowoon looked at his cell phone, fantasizing happily inside his


brain. I responded with a few emoticons in a messenger chat room
with a friend, looked at the news section of a portal site, and ended
up going to the game homepage. Just 30 minutes ago, there was a
notice for a new event patch and update.

Title: April 9 update notice

Author: GM Lemon

Hello, adventurer! This is GM Lemon.

Good luck to the adventurer!

(This is a post that cannot be commented on.)

When I glanced at it, it seemed like various events were just being
added. The error is being corrected. I don’t know what it is, but it will
be fixed a long time ago. The event is a new event, so it must be
good. This must be so much fun! I can’t wait to do it. Yeowoon
vaguely thought about that and closed the internet window. I felt like
I could truly understand the event by watching it rather than
watching the preview.

“Did we arrive too quickly?”

Considering the possibility of getting lost, it was too early to leave


early. There was still an hour and a half left until the interview
appointment time, but there was nowhere to go. I tried to find a
suitable cafe to go into, but all the tables were full.
Yeowoon, who had been wandering around on the map app, ended
up walking into a residential area across the crosswalk.

‘There’s a cafe in this place?’

The buildings all looked like villas, which was very unexpected. I had
to check several times to make sure I wasn’t going the wrong way
because the atmosphere was completely different from the other
side of the crosswalk, which was crowded with people. Is this a
hidden restaurant? If you look at the picture, it looks just like that.

“….”

I got lost. The map doesn’t listen. I know it’s around here, but there
wasn’t a space that looked like a cafe.

“Ah, the Internet….”

I repeatedly pressed the compass function to see if the direction


was wrong, but the map app was too slow to load. Yeowoon looked
up after turning the data function on and off for no reason and
circling around to see if there was any usable Wi-Fi nearby. This is
because a man squatting on the asphalt road caught my eye.

‘Okay, you can just ask for directions.’

Since he seems to be a resident here, he probably knows where the


cafe is. As I carefully walked towards the man, preparing to bow
down, I heard a clicking sound.
“…?”

Click, click, click, click, click, click!

Yeowoon’s steps stopped as he heard a series of shutter sounds as


if he was taking a series of photos. What the man was holding in his
hand was a cell phone the size of his palm, and the subject at the
end of the camera lens of the cell phone held upside down was a
cat. The black kitten was eating something intently with its head
stuck in a bowl that looked like a side dish container, then it raised
its head at the sound of the shutter and looked at the man. The man
mutters something while covering his mouth.

I think I’m feeding the cat. Can I talk to it? Should I just find
someone else? While thinking about that, I looked around, but the
only living things on the street were myself, that man, and that cat.

I couldn’t do it. There was still a little over an hour left, and my legs
were starting to hurt to find another cafe and go back. Yeowoon
quietly walked up behind the man and tapped his shoulder.

“Aww, it’s a fucking surprise!”

“….”

The man was more shocked than Yeowoon expected and even hit
his butt. I wanted to say I was sorry, but Yeo-woon’s lips moved in
surprise at the loud noise, as if he had boiled a man’s train barrel.

“who are you!”


The man glared at Yeo-woon with utmost caution. A man with a
somewhat sensitive and tired look had black piercings hanging from
his ears. At a glance, there seemed to be three or four of them. On
his round forehead, neatly exposed by his hat, wrinkles appeared
between his eyebrows.

omg…scared. Yeo-woon secretly swallowed his saliva, possessed by


an unnecessary prejudice. I feel like I’m screwed. You picked the
wrong person….

“it’s nothing.”

Yeowoon smiled awkwardly and took a step back without realizing it.
I haven’t felt this way since I was in college and almost got ripped off
by a group of high school kids riding motorcycles. When I was in
high school, I was most afraid of elementary school, and when I was
in college, I was most afraid of middle school, but now I’m afraid of
all the young people who live without a future. Of course, this man’s
case was a little different, but as he kept glaring at me, I wanted to
avoid this place.

“No, it doesn’t matter. Is that a sound coming out of someone sitting


still?”

“….”

“Ah, Mr. Be surprised.”

I didn’t hit it. …Did you hit it? I…Did you hit it?
At that time, the cat knocked over the water bowl and ran across the
alley. The man looked in that direction for a moment and sighed. The
man who was squatting got up, tapping his knees. I didn’t notice it
when I was stuck to the floor, but I felt more intimidated because I
was taller. I didn’t intend to do that. I tapped it with my finger…If you
hit it, you hit it…?

“I want to ask you for directions.”

“road?”

Yeowoon nodded, holding the map app that was still running in front
of the man. He blinked his sharp eyes at the screen and subtly
raised his eyebrows.

“Are we going here?”

“yes.”

“why.”

“yes? For coffee….”

Why do you go to the cafe? If it were you, would you go to a cafe to


take a bath? It was a question that clearly showed that I had asked
it without even thinking about it. The man twitched his pursed lips
and turned his head.

“…It’s not this alley. Follow me.”


He picked up the remaining bowl of food, placed it at the corner of
the alley, and took the lead without even looking back. I’m dying of
embarrassment, but they won’t even talk to me, and the people in
this neighborhood are really mean.

‘Please talk to me.’

Yeowoon grumbled inwardly. The man who was looking at his phone
said in a low voice, “This mangame.” I heard him muttering. Walk
straight ahead and turn left for two blocks. ‘Cafe Earth’ comes into
view right in front. I turned my head to look at the man to say thank
you, but as soon as he confirmed that Yeowoon had recognized the
cafe, he turned around and went straight into the building in front of
him.

ah. Dude, you have no social skills.

Yeowoon muttered to himself in case someone was eavesdropping


and entered the cafe. The taste of the coffee sold in the cafe was
just so-so, and the atmosphere was just so-so. It was a place with a
decent assortment, but surprisingly, all the seats were filled. I was
curious what the secret to sales was.

Yeowoon, who had been scribbling on paper for 30 minutes,


organizing the expected questions and answers in his head, tilted his
head. Without even realizing it, a sharp-looking man was drawn in
the corner of the paper.

“….”
what. I don’t know why I drew this…. Yeowoon looked at the picture
for a while, pointed out a small dot under the man’s left eye, and
turned the paper over.

‘neutaaaa has joined the game.’

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: Hahaha

[Friend] Park Hwibug: Haha

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: Hello!

[Friend] neutaaaa: Hello^ㅇ^!!

I don’t know if this can be called a gaming friend, but Yeowoon now
has people who greet him when he logs into the game. Thanks to
this strange relationship, I feel more attached to the game.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Say hello to everyone but me again ㄱ-

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ㅎㅇ

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Huh?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Chewing….

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Mouth ♡ I’ll give you the Cheapest of the Year
Award ♡ Award
Yeowoon ignored his words and opened the status window. I
completed the 2nd job change quest that opens at level 120 at level
124, and have already reached level 150 in the past few days. In
fact, it would have been taken quickly even if the Earth Star had not
helped.

For a max level ranker, the Earth Star was not of much help. I was
curious about how the server’s PVP ranking was in the top 50, but I
wasn’t curious enough to ask. To be honest, Yeowoon had no
interest in Earth.

‘Ji9 Star invited you to the party. Do you want to accept it?’

Before leveling up, I was looking for a guide to re-equip the


equipment for my current level, and a party invitation window
appeared. The bored Earth Star has come to start a fight again.

“Why again? “They told me to call you during my third job change?”

Yeowoon sighed. I remember that he got tired of helping me with the


long second job change quest a few days ago, and Earth Star told
me to call him back when the third quest came up, and then left to
do his own thing. Once you click the ‘Yes’ button to accept the party
invitation, the current party members appear in the upper left corner
of the screen.

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Are you here?

[Party] Cat Meow Meow: Newnim hehe


[Party] neutaaaa: Yes hello

For some reason, Earth wasn’t the only one at the party today.
Although they were not friends, members of the Poseidon guild in
Yeowoon’s friend window were participating in the same party. The
party members were a total of four people, including Earth Byul, a
level 250 Night Spear, Park Hwibuglae, a level 235 Healer, and
Nyangynyangnannyang, a level 180 Wolfist, and Yeo Un.

In fact, the only level max level in the party was Earthstar, and Cat
Meow Cat was a Wolfist, the 3rd job advancement in the Explorer
class. Even looking at the party members, I couldn’t tell what their
composition was.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Baby, what are you doing?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Yuck;; Even me who sings it makes me throw up


haha.

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅗ

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, now you are greeted

It was necessary to be somewhat bleary-eyed because he reacted


more harshly when he reacted with dislike. But perhaps because
today was the first time I was called by such a creepy name, I ended
up reacting without even realizing it.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Dear Earth, why do you use
emoticons while chatting? Anyway, I’m the only one who sees it ㅠㅠ
[Party] ㅈi9Star: It’s my heart!

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Don’t kiss NPCs. It’s gross….

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Side!

I agreed with the comment that it was gross. Even when Earth Star
was going around the hunting map doing Yeo-woon’s second job
change quest, she used strange emoticons and acted cute in
between using her skills. And while I jumped and stepped on the
upper platform, I chatted for two lines and enjoyed the leisurely hunt.

“It wasn’t just me.”

thank god. However, I wondered how there were so many people


who specialized in RPG games. In fact, I was confident that I
wouldn’t be surprised if Earth Star confessed, ‘I’m actually an NPC.’
It must be a living person, right? I was a little curious about what the
Earth Star was doing for a living.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Please come to New Channel 3’s
Isis Stone Tower!

[Party] neutaaaa: Wait a minute, I’ll just update what I registered on


that auction house.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: When will you come?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: When will you come?


[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m ready

[Party] neutaaaa: ㄱㄷ…. Please wait patiently

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅜㅜ

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: When will you come?

But why suddenly? Since he didn’t really like being close to the
Poseidon people, he suddenly wondered why he had formed a party.
As Nyangnyangnannyang said, we moved from channel 1 to channel
3 and used the warp capsule to move to Isis, where a bug was
waiting for us in front of the stone pagoda.

As soon as Park Hwibug, the healer, saw the lingering light, he


jumped in place and gave it a buff. When the character closed his
eyes and stretched his arms above his head and uttered the skill
name, a buff that increased defense was applied to those within the
range.

[Party] Park Hwibug: Aren’t there a lot of people in Channel 1?


There will be lag

[Party] neutaaaa: Ah yes…Because of the deal ㅜㅜ

[Party] Park Hwibug: Hahahahaha

[Party] Park Hwibug: Follow me


“I know where the palace is….”

This means there was no need to come out to meet them like this.
Yeo-woon followed behind the insect, which was moving around with
a cloud of white light fluttering around. As we entered the palace
portal and moved inside, Nyannyangnyangyankyang sitting on the
throne and Earthstar kicking the king NPC came into the screen.
After confirming that Yeowoon and Park Hwibugae had arrived,
Catnyangnyangnyang jumped up from her place.

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: Shall we go?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Give me the buff!

[Party] Park Hwibug: Did you leave it there?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I don’t want to get paid>_<

[Party] Park Hwibug: Ah…Customer^^ The buff is given at the


entrance of the Dungeon due to loss.

Suddenly you invite someone to a party and you don’t know what’s
going on. Where are you going? I don’t think we should go through a
dungeon together when our levels don’t match up.

[Party] neutaaaa: Where are we going…?

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: Didn’t Earth Star tell you?


[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅠㅅㅜ

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: That person chews everything I talk to, but I can’t
speak to him ㅠ

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: Ah….

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I think he’s ♡ trembling when he looks at me ♡ He


can’t say anything haha

[Party] neutaaaa: I shouldn’t say anything lol

In the first place, you shouldn’t feed those guys.

[Party] Park Hwibugae: It’s obvious even without looking at it, he


probably didn’t say anything and just called and plastered it all over
the place haha.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: No!

[Party] Park Hwibugae: That’s right

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㄴㄴ

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Don’t fight your opponent

Yeo-woon immediately sympathized with Park Hwi-bugae. It seems


that everyone who deals with the planet Earth must be half-resigned
and at ease like that.

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: I heard you are going to the ant cave today?

[Party] neutaaaa: Ah yes

[Party] Park Hwibug: It’s the map that Earth Star hates the most
because it’s so cramped there haha.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: ㅁㅈThe height is so low that it makes it impossible


to jump, and it is a map with no social evilsㅇㅅㅇ; I really think that
map should disappear!

[Party] Park Hwibug: That’s why we came to help haha. Earth star
said we need to raise Newta quickly….

[Party] neutaaaa: Me?

[Party] neutaaaa: What are you doing raising me?

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: Mmm, maybe they’ll catch it and eat it….

[Party] neutaaaa: ;;

…Are you raising me? Isn’t this a little different from what I first told
you? The guy who initially told me not to go near Poseidon guild
members is now inviting guild members to a party to help him?
[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh, for your information

[Party] ㅈi9Star: This is an exception because I’m not helping you


but helping me.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Don’t be mistaken haha.

[Party] neutaaaa: ??

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Nim

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Did you see the Springfield event dungeon came
out?

[Party] neutaaaa: ???

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: New couple event appeared this morning! I’ll send
you a link

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh, that’s right, there is no chat room….

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㄱ…. How do I send this?

“Ah, couple event.”

Come to think of it, it seemed like it was in the update history. I


couldn’t remember what the name was, Springfield. …But it’s
nothing else but a couple’s event, so how can the content be fun? It
was obvious that it would be expendable content.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: An event dungeon has been created today that


couples can enter.

[Party] neutaaaa: Ah…I saw it on the way

I saw a portal that I had never seen before appear within the palace.
I couldn’t go in because I was in a hurry to follow the Park Hwi bug,
but it seems to be the event map.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: It is a couple dungeon, but the item rewards that


drop depending on the level are different.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: But they said a legendary reinforcement puzzle


appeared in the 220s.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: It increases the chance of strengthening


equipment to level 9 by as much as 30%…!

Is that something great?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I want that haha

[Party] neutaaaa: let’s go

[Party] ㅈi9Star: You can’t have it just because you want it.
[Party] neutaaaa: Saseem

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Even if you buy the popular ones, you won’t be
able to get a few of themㅡㅡ

[Party] neutaaaa: Then let’s work hard

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: ㅡㅡ That’s the guy now.

[Party] neutaaaa: Let’s go alone

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I can’t do it alone ㅠ

“Can’t you go alone?”

I finally understand. The item you want to get is dropped from an


event map that can only be entered if you are level 220 or higher,
and in order to enter it, you must also raise the level of Afterglow to
level 220 or higher.

[Party] neutaaaa: Then you can break the couple with me and
couple again with someone over 220, right?

[Party] neutaaaa: The wheel here is also over 220….

[Party] Park Hwibugae: I don’t like it; And it’s not a wheel, it’s a bug;;

[Party] neutaaaa: Sigh….


[Party] Park Hwi Bug: Earth is annoying

[Party] Cat cat cat: ㅇㅈ

[Party] Park Hwibug: You know best, Newta.

[Party] neutaaaa: Oh, I’m glad you know^^

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Not much to say lol

[Party] ㅈi9Star: It hurts me

No matter how you think about it, the most efficient way seemed to
be to find someone of the same level within the guild and form a
couple again, but Earth Star didn’t seem to be very popular among
guild members because it was a hassle.

[Party] neutaaaa: But why everyone else? All you need is Earth
Star….

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I was brought here for a quest ㅡㅡ

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, do you want to be alone with me?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Let’s choose the time, baby

[Party] neutaaaa: ? time = time


[Party] Park Hwibug:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha it’s time
and place

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Anyway; Just figure it out;

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hahahahahahahahahaha

Earth Star was so embarrassed that she left the palace map by
herself. And before I could count the 10 seconds, I came back in
and walked back and forth next to the NPCs.

[Party] neutaaaa: If you are busy, you can go out.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: There’s a quest in that ant cave.

[Party] Park Hwibug: I’ll get paid by the minute ㅱㅊ

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: It’s cheaper than the healer’s hourly MP potion!

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: ㅅㅂ

Still, I felt relieved that everyone was gaining something. This is


because it pricked my conscience to ask for help in leveling up
without giving anything. As I was about to use the nearest city warp
capsule to get to the anthill, a thought flashed through my mind.
[Party] neutaaaa: Then even if you reach a level where you can
enter the dungeon

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅇ?

[Party] neutaaaa: Are you just going around until that item comes
out?

[Party] neutaaaa: I think it would be annoying? why should i do that

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: This is why I don’t like quick-witted kidsㅡㅡ

It was correct. This means that if it is not an item that drops once
and you can buy it infinitely just because you want it, you will have to
keep going through the same dungeon for at least a few hours until
the item appears. Just thinking about it was a boring and worthless
time.

[Party] neutaaaa: Then what are you going to do for me?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, I guess giving me a ride on the bus isn’t
enough.

[Party] Ji9 Byul: Do you want my phone number?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Of course~ I don’t plan on giving it to you~! >_<

[Party] neutaaaa: ? Even if I give it to you, I won’t take it.


[Party] ㅈi9Star: Then what do you want? money??

In my heart, I wanted to escape from Earth, even if it meant giving


up all my possessions. He could have just unilaterally broken up the
couple and run away, but from what he had seen so far, it didn’t
seem like the Earth Star would let him go so meekly. To me, he was
a guy who didn’t even hide his malice but showed it clearly.

There was only one thing Yeowoon wanted.

‘Halloween joined the party.’

‘Wandu Wandya joined the party.’

[Party] neutaaaa: Please break up with me after the event is over.

As soon as he typed everything he wanted to say and pressed the


enter key, Yeowoon was able to see that the number of party
members had increased by two. Both of them were Poseidon guild
members registered as friends. Timing was an art.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahaha

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Catastrophe as soon as you enter

[Party] Wandu Wandya: It’s like a contract romance lol.


[Party] Wandu Wandya: What is the title of the drama?

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Ah, that’s funny.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Suddenly, it rumbles; Why did you come?

[Party] Park Hwibugae: He was so annoyed that I invited him to just


watch.

[Party] Park Hwibug: I think you guys forgot that we were at the
party too haha;

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: That’s right…. I was a little lonely ㅜ

‘Halloween has left the party.’

‘Wandu Wandya has left the party.’

‘The party size has been changed from 8 to 4.’

Earth Star, which forced the two people who had just joined to
withdraw, changed the party settings.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅅㅂ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Isn’t this just a loss for me?


[Party] ㅈi9Star: I raised their level and gave them a job change, but
do I have to break up with them?? This is so cheap ㅡㅡ

[Party] neutaaaa: Do you like me? Haha

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Okay, we can just break up;

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅇㅋ

[Party] Kitty cat cat: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Meow cat, I’ll get scolded, so don’t broadcast on


guild talk;;;;

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Yes….

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: Don’t be intimidated, I’ll do it for you.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Yes!

After a while, a whisper arrived from Captain Poseidon. He said he


was truly, truly sorry. But unlike before, the afterglow was okay. They
say they will break up after a while, right? No matter what, if I could
just get that unlucky guy away from my side, I would have the
motivation I never had before.
***

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Is the 1st generation of ants not well-socialized? .


Why do you keep spitting and making a fuss?

Earth Star seemed to be really weak against the ant tunnel map. On
other days, I was able to fly around here and there and deal
damage, but the anthill map was so low that if you jumped, you
would hit your head on the ceiling, so it was not easy for Earth Star
to jump or backtumble and fly around.

[Party] neutaaaa: Earth Star is almost dying right now.

Nonsense. How did you get hit by that and get knocked back…. Is
that the max level?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: It’s a wheel! Wheels! Let’s save it!

[Party] Park Hwi bug: It’s called Park Hwi bug ㅡㅡ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: But everyone calls them cockroaches besides me.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Ah, my daughter, ah


[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅈㅅ! >_<

Park Hwi Bug used the HP recovery skill to restore the retreating
Earth Star’s stamina.

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: Just don’t show up in front of me and stay
here.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I’m a close range dealer lol Don’t show me off?

[Party] Park Hwibug: If you keep doing that, I won’t heal you.

[Party] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Disgraceful

Unlike Earth Star, which was floundering by going back and forth
repeatedly, Cat Meow Meow Meow, which had the least difference in
lingering energy and level, was dealing the most consistently. Of the
three dealers, excluding healer Park Hwibug, Jigubyeol was the one
who was the most lost.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Ants really don’t die…. I’m so tired and irritated

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ? I think the ants think the same
way about us.

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: Well, from the ant’s point of view, he’s being
bullied by four people ㅜㅜ
Even after circling the same map twenty times, Earth was still
struggling. Even so, it was a bit harsh for a level 250 guy to get
knocked back just because he was hit by a level 200 queen ant, the
boss monster of an anthill. This is because even the healer Park Hwi
was not even itchy when attacked by the queen ant. Even
sometimes, a miss appeared.

[Party] neutaaaa: Does Night Spear have low defense to begin with?

Nightspear was a knight-type job. Knights had the second highest


initial physical strength after warriors and were the highest in
defense, so I couldn’t understand why they were so foolish in front
of queen ants. Instead of hitting an ant with a whip, Kitty Nyang Na
Nyang stopped in place as if typing a chat, and soon after, she
answered Yeo-woon’s question in great detail.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: No! Nas is originally a mid-tank, so


his defense is high!! It’s a different job in its own way…. You might
not believe it haha

[Party] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: If you meet in group PVP later, you


will lose damage, so you need to infiltrate the enemy camp first, kill
all the weak stamina players like healers and gunners, and kill Nasu
last!

“….”

What does this all mean?

[Party] neutaaaa: Oh, I see….


There is no need to answer in such detail. Feeling so sad for no
reason, Yeowoon bowed his head to the monitor. Anyway, I could tell
that Night Spear was originally a job that did not have low defense.

[Party] Park Hwibug: But Jigubyeol is a bit of an exception hahaha.


He threw away his defense and went all in…. It’s a nightspear, but a
bit mutated? You can think of it as the same thing.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Mutant?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Killing a person twice

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Anyway, I’m at max level, but do I really want to die
from a boss mob in the 150s? Haha.

As soon as Earthstar finished speaking, he was hit by the queen


ant’s charging skill and flew to the end of the map.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Ant 1 Baby

[Party] neutaaaa: Are you the one who killed the ants?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: No fun

[Party] neutaaaa: Praise!

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I don’t say a word;


[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: But it’s not wrong, I have nothing to say ㅡㅡ

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Park Hwi Bug laughed at him and restored his stamina. It was a bit
absurd. Basically, it’s a class with quite high defense, and the level
difference is over 50, so why on earth is it melting like that?
Meanwhile, the queen ant monster’s stamina was completely
depleted, and the ant died with a squeaking sound. The ant shed its
black shell and turned red. After the queen ant died once, she
became angry and was resurrected as a red queen ant. It was
common for boss monsters to become stronger after two
awakenings.

The Earth Star flew with a spear that shimmered like a shadow and
struck the queen ant in succession before being attacked by poison.
And then he hid behind Yeowoon in a huff and recovered his
stamina.

[Party] neutaaaa: Hey there

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅇ?

Can I say this? After hesitating for a moment, Yeowoon realized that
there was no need to be considerate of Earth and entered the chat.

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m in the way

[Party] ㅈi9Star: …?
The Earth Star stopped in the center of the map, made a gasping
sound, and wrote a surprised emoticon. However, while using the
emoticon, I was hit again by the queen ant and flew away. The Earth
Star seemed to roll over and evacuate due to being hit or poisoned
more often than using skills.

[Party] neutaaaa: Because of you, the skills you were using now are
being ruined.

[Party] Cat cat cat: Cat cat….

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Lie; Please say it with your mouth, am I disturbing


you now?

Cat Meow Cat stopped in the middle of the map again. He looked
like he was thinking for a moment, and after a few seconds, a blue
speech bubble appeared above his head.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Haha, honestly, it’s a bit disturbing.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㄱ….?!

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] neutaaaa: I can’t help you. Could you just stay back?

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: Let’s go!!


[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I can’t believe I heard all this from a low level
playerㅜㅜ

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: It’s a shame for the family….

The Earth Star used a crying emoticon, and no longer came


forward, only occasionally adding long-distance damage from
behind.

[Party] ㅈi9Byul: But I’m really bad at PVP….

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Everyone doesn’t want to meet me as an


opponent>_<

[Party] neutaaaa: Who asked?

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I was talking to myself;

[Party] neutaaaa: Ah, I heard it too….

[Party] neutaaaa: I hope you talk to yourself a little quieter

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: What are you talking about?;; You can’t even hear
my voice up there and I’m not saying a word.

[Party] neutaaaa: Oh, you’re using the map alone?


[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Beat the antsㅡㅡ If you keep doing this, you’ll get
used to it.

[Party] Park Hwibug: With whom? Haha

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Gaemirang;

[Party] neutaaaa: Oh, me again lol, if you had said it was me, I
would have killed you?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: This is ridiculous. Why am I so attached to you?


It’s really annoying.

[Party] Park Hwibug: Use spacing lol.

[Party] Kitty Meow Meow: Have a good time

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Meow cat ㄷㅊ

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: You’re only telling me this again

The planet Earth certainly seemed to be particularly vulnerable to


the ant tunnel map. In other maps, it wasn’t an obstacle to this
extent. The fact that it was difficult to move up and down and that
the map was narrow seemed to be a significant penalty for Night
Sphere.

After seeing the queen ant die again and become the third final
boss, Earth Star went to the far left side of the map and hid behind
Park Hwi-rae. In my life, this is the first time I have seen a close
range dealer hiding behind a healer as a shield. The ant that turned
blue gave out a speed reduction debuff and a poison debuff at the
same time.

Cat Cat slid behind the ant and applied a restraining effect. The
queen ant stamped her feet in place and released her breath, and
Yeo-woon used the opportunity to receive healing from Park Hwi-
bugae and use skills with cooldowns in succession.

It was then. Slogans such as ‘Cheer up!’ and ‘Our side is the
winner!’ began to come out in loud voices from the computer
speakers. The culprit was Earth, and the sound came from the
emoticon he was using.

The Earth Star character stretched out his arms above his head and
jumped up and down while waving a shiny cheering item in his hand.
Seeing that there were more than just one or two slogans, it seemed
like they all had different types of cheering emoticons.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Beat the ants!

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Ant Fighting!

[Party] neutaaaa: ;;

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: Looks like he’s finally gone away….
Earth Star used a series of loud emoticons and cheered on the
scene where two lower-level dealers and a healer in their 240s were
fighting over the queen ant. In the end, the 3rd awakening queen
ant, who was struggling for the last time after turning blue, fell to the
floor with a sound of weakness, and item bags burst out of the ant
corpse. The three members of the Poseidon Guild, who had no
more items to obtain from the ant cave, waited for Yeowoon to pick
up the items one by one.

[Party] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: New, you level up really fast…Did


you take the elixir?

[Party] neutaaaa: I took the 500% elixir and the 3x quest reward
elixir.

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: Ah, somehow it went up so fast haha.

Thanks to the elixir that increases experience by 500%, experience


was rising rapidly every time I entered the dungeon. Can I make it to
level 160 today? Looking at the speed, it seems like party hunting is
quite helpful.

It was a time when Yeo-woon was unconsciously picking up items


while assessing the amount of experience remaining until he leveled
up. I pressed the space bar without even checking what the item
was, and a window appeared with a dazzling sound effect.

You have acquired the item ‘[Rainbow Tulip Cradle (30 days)] . Do
you want to reveal your character name on the server?’
As soon as Yeowoon clicked the confirmation window without even
thinking about it, the fact that he had acquired the item became
known throughout the server. When I clicked on the item window to
check the items in the ‘Event’ column, I found that the Tulip Cradle
was a vehicle item. It was a very useless item to me. If it was a pet,
I would have had it pick up items for me, but what do I do riding a
flower?

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Wow

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: Mime, that one is also dropped by hunting.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: ㄷ

However, the reactions of others were different from Yeowoon’s


thoughts. It’s a reaction as if some good item has emerged. Soon
enough, whispers started pouring in and the chat window was filled
with yellow letters.

[Whisper] Cool cat: Cool deal for 100 million

[Whisper] jqealqw22: Wow wow~~~

[Whisper] jqealqw22: Where did you get that??

[Whisper] jqealqw22: I’ve been digging in the Star Cradle for 5 hours
since morning, and only one beaded sandal came out.

[Whisper] Cool cat: 150 million ㄱ


[Whispering] My dad: How much do you sell it for? If you want to sell
it, please let me know and I will match the price@@@@@@

[Whisper] Jjangsen dealer: 700 million ssssssss

[Whisper] Cool cat: Cool deal for 160 million

[Whispering] Cool Cat: Hey

[Whisper] Cool cat: Hey hey@@@@@!#$!#$!#!@@

[Whisper] Cool cat: Cool deal for 190 million

[Whisper] Cool cat: I used my heart and can get in right away 200
million ㄱ

I was completely distracted due to the chat window popping up


before I even had time to read it. It was at best a vehicle item, so I
couldn’t figure out why they were rushing at me like that. It’s not like
there are no existing mount items at all.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Is this an item bound to Tulip? I


didn’t see it at the auction house….

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Not attribution

[Party] Park Hwibug: But there are no properties for sale hahaha
Even for 30 days, it would be 700 to 800 million won? If you put it on
the auction block for 12 hours and sell it for 1 billion won, a rich kid
will likely buy it.

oh my god. There was a reason why the prices quoted were so


different. Even though it is tradable, it doesn’t appear for sale very
often, so it doesn’t seem to be an item that drops often.

[Party] neutaaaa: Is this really that good?

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: It’s not that it’s good, but the tulip is
pretty!

[Party] neutaaaa: Ah….

Well, if it’s pretty, it’s understandable. Yeowoon also saw last year’s
winter event items and thought, ‘I should have started a little earlier.’
I remember having regrets. It was in the same context that clothes
sold in fashion shops were useless in battle, but sold like hot cakes
simply because they were pretty.

[Whispering] Gi9 Star: Hey….

When I suddenly noticed that the chat color changed, the Earth Star
whispered to me.

“what?”

Why are you suddenly whispering to me? While Yeowoon was


confused, Earth Star hesitated for a moment and then spoke.
[Whispering] Gi9 Byul: If you’re going to sell it, will you sell it to me
for 1 billion…?

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: I’m throwing away all my pride and asking….

As he was quietly asking the question one-on-one, it seemed like he


didn’t want the two guild members to know about this. Yeowoon,
who had no intention of doing as he wished, chuckled and tapped
her fingers on the keyboard to reply to him.

[Party] neutaaaa: The whispers are so quiet I can’t hear them

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Yes?

[Party] Park Hwibugae: ??

[Whispering] Gi9Star: No….

[Party] neutaaaa: I can’t hear you, whisper a little louder

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: ….

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Did you actually hear a whisper from the
Earth? Hahahahahahahaha

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: For some reason, I couldn’t say anything.
[Party] Park Hwibugae:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha funny funny; I have to tell
you right away

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: You wanted a tulip so much??


Hahahahahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Stop broadcasting, cat cat

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I only sent one, but Park Hwi sent
four chats.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: I will definitely take revenge someday

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Oh my, I’m so scared.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Oh my gosh, I’m so scared.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Meow cat is a dog

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I followed suit, but that person only
said something to me.
After picking up all the rewards and leaving the ant tunnel dungeon, I
returned to the dark tunnel map.

‘Instant Dungeon has been reset.’

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: I think I will get ant hatred

[Party] Park Hwibug: Look at you changing your words because


you’re embarrassed.

Earth Star reset the party login settings and showed signs of
entering the portal again. Oh, you can’t go in yet. Before his
appearance disappeared, Yeowoon quickly clicked the right mouse
button and made a deal with Earth Star.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ? why?

Even though I asked what the Earth Star was, I quickly pressed the
accept transaction button. When the trade window opened, Yeowoon
dragged the tulip item into the trade window.

[Party] ㅈi9Byeol: Oh wow, I don’t have any money right now…I’ll go


to town and come back. I’ll pick it up soon!

[Party] neutaaaa: No

Earth Star canceled the deal without any time to stop it and
immediately disappeared. When he suddenly disappeared from
sight, Nyannyangnyangnyang and Park Hwibuglae began to
complain afterward, demanding that the price be raised.
Please double the price. Say that one 0 is missing. If you bring
money, tell them you won’t sell it. While the two were explaining how
to rob Earthstar of its marrow, Earthstar reappeared with money.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Bitnyuta, I’m here>_<

Suddenly, the way he spoke and called himself changed. This was
the first time that the guy who used to call Yeowoon ‘Hey’, ‘Nim’, or
‘Hey’ every day called himself by a normal nickname.

‘Ji9 Star has applied for a transaction.’

A transaction window appeared on the screen. When I dragged the


tulip back to the item window, Earth Star began writing numbers into
the transaction window. And as soon as the number ‘1,200,000,000’
came to mind, Yeo-woon right-clicked on the item, quickly removed
it, and pressed the transaction confirmation button.

‘The transaction is complete.’

[Party] neutaaaa: ㄱㅅ~^^

When I opened the item window, I saw that Yeowoon had become
rich overnight. They said they would give 1 billion won, but I was
able to confirm that they gave 200 million more.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Huh?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ???huh??


[Party] Park Hwibug: No way hahaha

Earth Star was confused when she found out late that she had been
pickpocketed. Seeing that he was silent for a while, it seemed like he
was searching through the item window.

[Illusion tip!] When making a transaction, make sure to check and


press the transaction acceptance button!

When I saw the tip sentence that was posted on the server every 30
minutes with good timing, Yeowoon became very happy.

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Heh

[Whisper] ㅈi9Byeol: I like that one, but please give me your contact
information.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Can I open it if I don’t like it?

[Whispering] ㅈi9 Byul: Or, I’ll give you my number, so you can call
me haha.

[Whisper] ㅈi9 Byul: I’ve never seen Hyeonpi before, but I want to
see that face once.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Haha, I’m not good at all….

[Whispering] Gi9 Byul: Hey, where do you live?


A soft smile spread across his lips. You’re cheating on this taste!

[Party] neutaaaa: Days like this are coming….

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ?

[Party] neutaaaa: I guess heaven is blessing me like this because I


live hard every day.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Am I the sky?

[Party] neutaaaa: Thank you, Mom and Dad

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Am I your dad?

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9Star: How can you play with people’s hearts like this?

‘Ji9 Star applied for one-on-one fighting (PVP). Do you want to


accept it?’

‘You refused.’

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: ㅁ1 friend, get PVP when you say nice things.

[Party] neutaaaa: You didn’t say anything nice ㅜㅜ


[Party] ㅈi9Star: Get PVP♥

‘Ji9 Star applied for one-on-one fighting (PVP). Do you want to

‘You refused.’

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Receive PVP ㅆ1 shot♥♥♥♥

[Party] neutaaaa: Sit back and tell stories about chaebols

[Party] Kitty Meow Meow Meow: ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

It seemed like one of the two was broadcasting to Poseidon’s guild


chat. Chats on the server microphone began to stream in.

[Server] Park Hwibug: I got pickpocketed for 1 billion won by a


newbie and if it were me, I would quit the game haha.

[Server] Halloween Eggplant: I sincerely congratulate you on being


scammed for the first time in your life^-^~

[Server] al0ha: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Server] al0ha: Tkkkkkk

[Server] Captain Poseidon: Self-employed ^^


[Server] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ☎i9★ Bank ♨ Interest-free loan ♣

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Meow cat is a dog again;

The Poseidon guild members wholeheartedly congratulated


themselves on the fact that Earth had been defrauded. That guild
seemed genuinely happy about its members’ misfortune.

Even Poseidon’s guild master whispered to Yeowoon,


‘Congratulations. I guess it’s a consolation prize! Haha’ and even
liked me instead. Yeo-woon, who suddenly became a person with
1.2 billion won, felt all his resentment being washed away as he saw
Earth Star swinging a spear and pretending to hit his character.

Well played. With a relieved heart, Yeo-woon applied for a deal again
with Earth Star, who was running wild.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: I won’t be fooled, don’t make a deal ㅗ

[Party] neutaaaa: Take it quickly, I’m going to take a shower and


sleep now.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I won’t be fooled

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I won’t be fooled.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: But it’s really zoom….?


[Party] Park Hwibug: Haha, it would be fun to become the guy who
got ripped off for 2 billion won.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅡㅡ

I didn’t intend to steal the money from the beginning. It just


happened to be like that.

“The person who was deceived is a fool….”

Yeowoon dragged the tulip item he originally intended to give to


Earth Star into the item window and entered the 1.2 billion he had
extorted from him.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Why do you give me my money back?

When I pressed the transaction confirmation button, Earth Star left


the window without pressing the accept button and the transaction
window disappeared from the monitor.

‘Transaction has been cancelled.’

‘Ji9 Star has applied for a transaction.’

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I also have a conscience and won’t rip off items
from beggars like you…lol

[Party] neutaaaa: ? Receive when you give


[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㄴ;

This transaction was also canceled for the same reason.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: How is this? I didn’t even get to the 3rd job change.
Give me my money back!!

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I was angry because I got scammed
earlier lol I guess I feel bad for just accepting it haha.

[Party] Park Hwibeolae: Just take it, he has a lot of money.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Ahem

[Party] neutaaaa: I thought it would just jump out, but

[Party] neutaaaa: Thank you for playing 20 rounds of the game


today.

[Party] neutaaaa: It’s a hassle haha.

I knew that going around the same map not just once, but 20 times
was not easy. Even though he did it because he had a goal to
achieve, it was something he was grateful for. It’s not a cute pet,
and if it’s a mount item, it’s not very useful to me, and I thought the
item would be happier if it went to someone who desperately wanted
it.
[Party] neutaaaa: Even though Earth Star didn’t help at all, I was just
going to give it to you from the beginning.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: It didn’t help, so why are you giving
me the money back? Hahaha, are you a philanthropist?

[Party] Park Hwibeolrae: If you get your money back like that on
Earth, it’s really trash. There’s nothing to take from it, so I’m going to
start a rumor that I extorted money from newbies.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Oh, I won’t accept it;;;

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅜㅜI have to go out tomorrow for an interview….


I’ll just give you the item and leave.

It was true that I had to go out and see. There was no time to argue
anymore as the second interview was scheduled for tomorrow
morning. It’s a big problem if you oversleep.

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅂㅂ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Wait a minute

Yeowoon immediately left the party before Earth Star could even say
hello. He also had his own plan. Instead of logging out of the game
right away, Yeowoon warped to the village and ran to the postman.

‘The mail has been sent.’


[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ㅅㅂ

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: Is that the one who just sent you the mail?

As soon as I sent the mail with 1.2 billion won attached, the chat
message arrived. They asked me to answer right away and the
plastering started again.

‘It’s boring, why does he make such a fuss even if I give him
money?’

Yeowoon did not reply to his words and immediately shut down the
computer.

***

Jeong Se-hyung

What an interview with Yeowoon Lee

I have a lot to say

Jeong Se-hyung
Haha let’s have a drink

Call me at night….

Jeong Se-hyung

ok!

I completely ruined the interview. Today, the words I was trying to


say got stuck in my throat, so I stuttered a lot, and after the
interview was over, the interviewee sitting next to me called the head
of the human resources team “uncle” and went to eat. It wasn’t the
only place I submitted my documents to, and it wasn’t that I thought
this was the only place I could submit my documents, but I couldn’t
help but feel dirty. If there is a designated candidate, why not tell a
useless person to come and go?

Before her memories faded and this shitty feeling faded away,
Yeowoon went to a nearby cafe to write a raw review on a job
search site. However, why was it that all the cafes around here were
so full that all the seats were full? The thought that people were
walking around too much filled my mind. Just like last time, Yeowoon
crossed the crosswalk and walked along the familiar road.

As soon as I opened the glass door with a clanging sound, the


fragrant scent of coffee passed my nose. Although all the seats
were occupied, I noticed one customer standing up with a tray at
good timing. Yeowoon went straight to the spot and put his bag
down on the chair. The people nearby who were flinching like
meerkats, trying to change their seats, sighed.
I didn’t understand why everyone wanted to move here because
there was no place to plug in a laptop, and the cramped seating
wasn’t for 4 people. A famous spot that only I don’t know about, is it
something like that….

“…?”

Yeo-woon got up to pick up his wallet and order coffee, and a


familiar face caught his eye. The man was staring into space inside
the counter with a face that seemed like he was dying because
everything in the world was bothersome and he didn’t want to go to
work. Yeowoon sat down again. The seat he happened to be sitting
in had a very good view of the inside of the counter even when he
was sitting there.

“Would you like to order?”

As I moved to the counter and looked at the menu, a man asked me


a question. Yeowoon glanced at his chest. The name ‘Yoon Ji-gu’
was engraved in yellow letters on the black name tag.

“Please give me an Americano and some cheesecake.”

“Are you going to eat?”

Yeowoon nodded instead of speaking. I was a bit scared the last


time I was wearing training clothes and a hat, but it was still the
same now, although to a lesser extent. Even though he was dressed
in such a neat uniform, his heart fluttered even when he just made
eye contact, perhaps because of the piercings that showed off his
presence in his ears. Even if you asked me right here and there how
much money I had, I wouldn’t feel uncomfortable. Yeowoon took a
deep breath and calmed himself down.

“The last time.”

As Yeowoon spoke, the man who had been pressing down the menu
name on his POS machine looked up. I wondered if I had said
something for no reason because of the sharp stare that seemed to
be glaring at me.

“You were feeding the cat in front of me, right?”

“… Do you live around here?”

“no. I asked for directions.”

“Do you know me?”

“I don’t know?”

“Then why are you pretending to know?”

“…I guess you don’t remember me. At that time, I tried to ask for
directions and he was very surprised. I remember….”

At Yeo-woon’s words, the man’s eyes strangely lingered on his face,


then he pursed his lips and shook his head. For some reason, I felt
regretful that they didn’t recognize me. On the other hand, the man
was unable to hide his displeasure for some reason.
He operated the force machine a few more times, confirmed that
Yeowoon’s card was inserted into the card reader, and calculated the
menu he ordered. There was a crackling sound and letters were
engraved on the receipt. He said, tearing up the receipt and holding
it on top of his card.

“What you ordered-.”

“Hyung, I’m out of all the cheesecake I made, so I have to cut it


from the inside.”

“… I have a receipt.”

“…?”

“….”

The man seemed to realize something was strange belatedly. The


part-time workers behind him turned their heads and suppressed
their laughter, and the man’s face gradually began to turn bright red.
After watching the entire area turn red, starting from the nape of the
neck to the white ears, Yeo-woon accepted the card and receipt he
held out.

Unable to laugh openly in front of someone who was turning bright


red, Yeowoon returned to his seat holding the card tightly and bowed
his head in silence for a minute. Five minutes later, Yeo-woon
brought the drinks and cake back to his seat, turned on his laptop,
opened the job search site, and wrote with more concentration than
when writing his self-introduction. After reading it, I really liked that it
didn’t just use swear words, but showed very polite anger.
Jeong Se-hyung

I’ll be at your house later around 9 o’clock.

yep

Jeong Se-hyung

Are you leaving me empty-handed?

There is no reason to clean the house just because friends are


coming, and even if you clean it anyway, it is obvious that it will be
restored to its original state by tomorrow morning. Yeowoon closed
the job search site window, thinking he could wake up in about an
hour. He slowly started doing other things. Yeo-woon, who was
closing the current news window and reading the webtoon he
subscribed to, suddenly remembered something and searched for
the name of this cafe.

Since it was recently opened, the bathroom is really clean! The taste
of the coffee is mediocre, but it’s not bad for a coffee around here.
What’s important is that the part-time worker is good-looking.
Thanks to this, house prices are likely to rise

I was passing by because it was in the neighborhood, and I thought


it was some kind of agency practice room. I was skeptical, but this is
the first time I’ve read such trustworthy reviews…thank you :)

Last time, I didn’t even think about looking at cafe reviews and only
checked the ratings, but when I opened the reviews section, I saw
that many of the reviews were complimenting Alba’s appearance.
Yeowoon raised his head and looked at the man who was busy
moving beyond. Why are there so many people in a cafe located in
such a remote place? . Is it really because of that person?

“….”

“….”

I looked over there and made eye contact with the man. For some
reason, he frowned and quickly avoided my gaze.

This was my second time coming and the cake was delicious!! I
think I’ll stop by sometimes when I’m nearby.

Yeo-woon, who left a review of his visit to the cafe like in a


guestbook, closed his laptop and sipped the coffee he was drinking.
Yeowoon, who was playing with his hands while listening to the soft
sound of music, put a teardrop dot on the picture he had just drawn
on a piece of tissue paper.

It’s not that I’m conscious of it, I just like drawing. That’s how it is.

***

After running all night, I fell asleep like I fainted. When I was deep in
unconsciousness, I heard a familiar ringtone. Yeowoon, who had
been covering his ears with a pillow, couldn’t stand the noise and got
up and looked around. The ringtone got louder and louder, and
finally the phone was in my hand.

“hello!”
Yeowoon answered the phone somewhat belligerently. Whatever
kind of cub he was, he was dead unless it was important or not.

“…Ah yes.”

Yeowoon, who couldn’t even open his eyes, suddenly responded to


the other person in a calm voice. I also felt that my posture had
become a bit more relaxed than before.

“You’re so noisy.”

The phone call didn’t last long. Yeo-woon, who had just woken up
completely, put her cell phone on the bed and crawled on the floor,
grabbed Se-hyung and shook him.

“Sehyung, wake up. huh? “Get up and look at me.”

“Why?”

Yeo-woon forced Se-hyeong, whose eyes were swollen, to his feet


and spoke while holding him.

“Slap my face.”

“okay.”

match. Se-hyung slapped Yeo-woon on the cheek without thinking,


and Yeo-woon felt so much pain that she headbutted him, knocking
him out. The guy whined that his head was pounding. This isn’t a
dream….

“I want to go to work.”

Sehyung blinked at those words and then replied with a distorted


expression.

“What are you talking about? There yesterday? “I heard there was a
designated person. Isn’t that voice phishing?”

“lol.”

As Yeowoon smiled sheepishly, disgust appeared on Sehyeong’s


face. He spoke through gritted teeth as if he wanted to shake off the
lingering emotions at any moment.

“You’re really unlucky…. Congratulations, a dog. So are you moving


now? “They said if you stick there, you’ll move nearby.”

“I’ll just look into some properties for now. It’s not urgent.”

“Don’t get scammed by rushing in and look around in several


places.”

Yes, that should be it. Yeowoon couldn’t hide his laughter and
laughed heartily. Then, I felt my blood run cold due to the thoughts
passing through my head.
“… I didn’t check attendance yesterday.”

“What check?”

“Oh, it’s because of you!”

As I pushed my friend, who was sprawled on the floor, with my foot


and turned on the computer, he curled up and mumbled.

“it hurts…. Stop playing games. What if I don’t do it for a day?”

“I can’t get this even if I don’t do it for just one day!”

done. It’s not easy to expect understanding from a guy whose only
games are Tetris or Minesweeper. Yeowoon logged in by entering his
password and ID on the game’s main screen. That didn’t mean I
would receive the attendance reward I missed yesterday, but it
made me anxious for no reason.

A loading window with cute characters passed by. As the screen


changed and the village where I had last logged in appeared on the
monitor, the red letters were the first thing to greet me.

‘The mailbox is full and the auction house cannot be used. Please
check your mailbox and empty its contents!’

I wondered what this was, so I double-clicked on the Postman right


in front of me and opened the mailbox. Inside, I saw a mailbox full of
20 pages. Eight mails are stored per page, and 160 mails had
arrived even though I had not logged in for a day. It even seemed
like all items were attached, as the bulk confirmation button was not
pressed.

[ㅈi9star] .

[Halloween branch] New Year’s money

[ㅈi9star] .

[Wanduwandya] It’s pocket money^^

[ㅈi9star] .

Most of the mail was sent from Earth, and occasionally other
nicknames were included. After opening the mail that arrived at the
top, Yeowoon was so dumbfounded that she could only laugh. Now,
this bastard can’t believe that I gave him 1.2 billion back the day
before yesterday and ran away….

“Lee Yeo-un. I sleep a little more. Wake me up at three o’clock to


eat.”

“…Uh, get some sleep.”

Se-hyung climbed up from the floor and took over Yeo-woon’s bed.
Yeo-woon didn’t even look at Se-hyeong and just rolled down the
mouse wheel. Then, I opened the mail one by one and tried pressing
the couple window using the shortcut key. Perhaps because it was
still morning, the planet Earth was not yet connected.

Yeo-woon decided to go to a nearby bank NPC and save all his


money and then count how much money he received from Earth
Star. When I excluded the mail left by Poseidon guild members and
only received the money sent by Earth Star, a huge amount of
money began to accumulate along with the sound of coins falling on
the balance, which was 0. After organizing only three pages, a
message appeared that the [Get Rich Quickly] achievement was
broken.

‘The Quick Rich achievement has been unlocked.’

The achievement system was a feature that could be achieved by


meeting certain conditions within the game. However, even if
achievements were achieved, there was no significant buff effect
other than a sense of accomplishment, so there was no point in
collecting them. Before I knew it, the balance had reached 10 billion
bells. The amount attached to each mail was different, and
sometimes event items were included.

I must be crazy. What on earth is he doing, entrusting money worth


well over 10 billion to someone like me? What if I jump out with it?
Yeo-woon no longer knows anything about the planet Earth. After
sorting out all the remaining mail, almost 50 billion won had
accumulated.

After I returned all the money I received from the Poseidon guild
members, people who were currently online started talking to me
through friend chat.

[Friend] Park Hwibug: What?

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: Just take it….

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: Really! Just like I heard from Earth


Star, he is naughty…. ;;
[Friend] neutaaaa: It’s not B, it’s T, it’s Newta

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: ? merge….

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: I also received compulsory education,


but suddenly I became someone who couldn’t read the alphabet.

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: Hahahahahahahahahaha

“Oh, you meant to say you’re a newbie.”

Yeowoon, who had finally realized that fact, blinked and frowned.
After turning Halloween Branch into someone who couldn’t even
read the alphabet, he decided to break down these people’s absurd
logic.

[Friend] neutaaaa: Actually, I’m not a newbie, I quit the game I was
playing because it broke.

[Friend] neutaaaa: I was a max level chef there too, right?

[Friend] neutaaaa: I was the sous chef of the biggest tavern on the
Paladin server.

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: LOL Little Foret 2?

“…!”
My heart sank as Halloween Eggplant guessed the name of the
game I was playing before. I used a different nickname in that game,
but my first thought was how did I recognize it? Surprise precedes
rational judgment.

[Friend] neutaaaa: Hey, do you know me?

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: What do you know lol

[Friend] Halloween branch: Little Fore refugees all came to illusion


haha Yoo-Myeong

[Friend] neutaaaa: Ah….

Since the game genre is similar, I think I heard that most people who
left the game for the same reason as me were stuck in Illusion. Little
Forest 2 was literally a masterpiece. Among the existing users, most
of those who thought they had been around for a long time left.
There were a lot of operational problems as the company that runs
the game changed, and there was an absurd difficulty adjustment for
the reason of recruiting newbies. People who liked the existing
atmosphere could not adapt to the changed game, and the game
was well on its way to destruction.

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: Why did I have to come to Illusion?


They say this place is a shit game haha.

[Friend] Park Hwibug: Newnim People usually call it Newbee,,

[Friend] neutaaaa: I’m about to be level 160, right?


[Friend] Park Hwibug:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
ha yes!

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: ?Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: Your level is too small haha

[Friend] Park Hwibugae: 160ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“Adam….”

If you just look around the village, there are plenty of people of lower
level than you. I didn’t know why these people were so nice to me,
even though I didn’t raise them all.

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: But why does a newbie ignore people’s


favor like this?

[Friend] neutaaaa: Then I’ll just accept your favor. Thank you.

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: In that case….


‘New mail has arrived. Please check your mailbox.’

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: My favors mainly come in financial


form.

‘New mail has arrived. Please check your mailbox.’

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: Mine too…lol

‘New mail has arrived. Please check your mailbox.’

[Friend] Park Hwibugae: Since New Nim’s 3rd job change, it’s been
an equipment fight. Since it is an illusion game, it costs a lot of
money to strengthen weapons. I heard that even if Little Fore’s
reinforcement fails, the weapon doesn’t explode?

[Friend] neutaaaa: Ah yes….

[Friend] neutaaaa: Not now, but then.

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: ㄹㅇ???? How come the weapon


doesn’t explode??

In the previous game ‘Little Forest 2’, if a weapon failed to be


strengthened, the probability of success increased by 0.5%, and the
main body was not destroyed. I wasn’t used to the idea of my
weapon being destroyed while strengthening, so I don’t know how
bad I felt when I first exploded the equipment in Illusion.
Park Hwi-lae came to the lingering place and sat down gently in front
of him.

[Friend] Park Hwibug: I’ve been running around for a whole month
because I put 3 ops on the cane and spirit stone I’m using now.

[Friend] Park Hwibug: Would you like to see it? I solved the
information

[Friend] neutaaaa: Huh

The weapon that Park Hwi-bugae was currently using had a different
color starting from the edges. Occasionally, when I see a user with a
sparkling effect in town, I click on it to see if they have opened the
information, but the additional options are different from those.

[Friend] Park Hwibugae: The cane is awesome haha.

[Friend] Park Hwi Bug: It’s higher than 250+!

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: The golden hammer I enchanted was


broken a lot.

The staff had a whopping Lv. 10 attack power increase option, all
stat Lv. 9, and attack speed Lv. 8. There was also a small option to
reduce damage and increase defense, but this was enough to make
anyone who found it buy it in a rush as soon as it was put up for
auction.
[Friend] Park Hwibug: I haven’t strengthened my armor yet…Haha,
after the 3rd job change, you start to see a clear difference
depending on the options.

[Friend] Park Hwibug: No matter how much the Little Foret refugees
ran wild like crazy, they all get out of here haha. Among the guild
members who came over with us, weren’t there many who quit
because they didn’t have capital?

[Friend] neutaaaa: I don’t know, because I’m a solo player….

[Friend] Park Hwibugae: I’m giving it to you to stop you from playing
games. Normally, all newbies do that because they get things like
this! Haha, if you think about it, it’s no different than raising the cat
ourselves.

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: ?? Cat grew up alone.

[Friend] Park Hwibugae: I buffed him sometimes, so it’s no different


from raising him^^

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: There is no reason to help someone


who wants to become a Valkyrie.

Seeing that he was a cat, it seemed like he was talking about cat cat
cat cat cat cat. I remember Cat Meow Meow Meow was probably a
Wolfist, and she seemed to be thinking about taking the Valkyrie
route as her 4th job. Valkyrie was ranked number one in the ‘Top 5
Jobs to Avoid’ that Yeowoon looked for when he first started playing
the game. I remembered it because it was difficult to control, even
more difficult to play solo, and the performance was not very good,
and even though it was a recently released job, it was famous for
being abandoned by the management.

[Friend] neutaaaa: I heard Valkyrie doesn’t really do it….

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: Soㅡㅡ; Maybe it’s because you’re


young, but you’re immature!

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: But yesterday, I heard that you couldn’t


send money because your mailbox was full…. Is that by any chance
Earthstar’s doing?

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: Oh, that’s right haha How long has it
been since the Earth?

“….”

Others usually sent amounts ranging from 50 million to 100 million


bells. It was natural to think that the amount for each district was
around that level. Yeowoon hesitated for a moment, then tapped the
numbers with his finger and pressed the Enter key.

[Friend] neutaaaa: 500….

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: 5 million? LOL That’s a lot of money

[Friend] neutaaaa: No….

[Friend] Park Hwibugae: Is it really 500 won?


[Friend] neutaaaa: 100 million

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: 100 million?

[Friend] Park Hwibugae: Did you hit ㅁ1????

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: ??

As expected, I felt that everyone was dumbfounded as the amount


was something they could not have imagined. The chat window
became noisy, saying that Earth was crazy. It was worth it. For 50
billion won, you could buy the equipment that was already installed
without having to do any option work.

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: Ah, Earth Star, you must be sleeping


now.

[Friend] Park Hwibeol-rae: Wow, but he always avoids answering


when I ask him how much money he has.

[Friend] Park Hwibugae: I guess they were in groups of ㄹㅇ;;

Since he had not logged on yet, there was no one to question why
he did this. It just added to the burden.

Yeo-woon sent a mail to Earth Star with 50 billion won attached and
immediately logged in as a secondary character for the warehouse.
Then, I sent mail to the main character, ‘neutaaaa’, and filled the
mailbox. If this happened, Earth would no longer be able to send
mail to me.

That evening, Yeo-woon, who came in after feeding Jeong Se-


hyeong and doing some errands for him, logged into the game
again.

[Whispering] Mountain Spirit: Is the woodcutter there?

But as soon as he logged into the game, someone whispered to


him. For a moment, Yeowoon thought he had been possessed by a
traditional fairy tale.

[Whispering] Mountain Spirit: I heard this after seeing the


transaction post last week. Are you still selling resurrection tokens?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Yes….

[Whispering] Mountain Spirit: ㄴㅇㅅㅅㅋㅋㅋ I’ll buy them all^^


What channels are there?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: I’ll go to Channel 3 Isis

I don’t know how to get a transaction call in a timely manner as soon


as I connect. Yeowoon took out the items he had put in storage and
waited in front of the Isis Stone Tower where he was supposed to
meet the mountain spirit. But strangely, there were a lot of people
who made deals today, perhaps by mistake. No, there were too
many. Embarrassed, Yeo-woon was waiting for the mountain spirit,
pressing no inconveniently.

[Whispering] Mountain Spirit: Activate the transaction.;;

As I removed the flying spear, a pure white mountain spirit


character, who I don’t know when it appeared, was jumping up and
down. As his nickname suggests, he was dressed in a hanbok that
looked like a goddess, and his white hair and beard that hung down
to his waist looked very sacred.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Wait a minute, people keep saying…today. .


Wait a minute. They are all rejecting you, so keep walking.

[Whispering] Mountain Spirit: Oh, that’s it. How many?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: 400/50 each, a total of 200 million

[Whispering] neutaaaa: But why are you talking like that? The
concept is mountain spirit, then?

[Whispering] Mountain Spirit: That’s right;

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahaha

When I placed the Token of Resurrection item in the transaction


window, the words ‘200,000,000 Bell’ appeared in the Mountain
Spirit’s transaction section. After checking the number of 0s, Yeo-
woon pressed the transaction acceptance button and belatedly
realized that there was one more 0 right before he hit the enter key.

‘The transaction is complete.’

“what?”

After seeing that his money had increased, Yeowoon applied to the
mountain spirit for a transaction. However, he disappeared into
another channel and the deal was canceled altogether.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Hey, you gave me more money.

[Whispering] Mountain Spirit: ? How much more did I give you?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: I was supposed to give you 200 million, but


you gave me 2 billion.

[Whispering] Mountain Spirit: Haha, you are an honest woodcutter^^


Please keep all the change.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: ?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Hey there

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Mountain Spirit

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Hey??


I didn’t know how this happened. First, Yeo-woon used any warp
capsule to avoid people making deals and ran away to a deserted
village. There was nothing blocking the screen except for whispers,
so he was able to relax for a while.

[Server] Mountain Spirit: Slot machine event was successful. I was


dubious, but really, please double the amount haha. I gave 2 billion
and received 4 billion pretending to make a deal. Good luck to all of
you. ^^

At that time, the server microphone raised by the mountain god who
had just completed the transaction suddenly came to mind, and
Yeowoon began to judge the situation with a dumb expression on his
face.

[Whisper] GD Lemon: Hello? This is GM Lemon. If you won the


Guerrilla event, please empty one mailbox and we will add the event
prize.^^

[Whispering] Chlorine: Hey, someone said that if they give you


money, they will double it. Is this true? Isn’t that GoStop for making
trouble?

[Whisper] CM Centimeter: Hello, this is the new GM. We are giving


away 100 million won to a random user as a hazing event. Where
are you?

[Whispering] Chlorine: I heard that I have 1 billion won in total assets


today. If I give you 1 billion today and receive 2 billion, I will give you
500 million separately!! Can you do business with me?
As I watched the whispers coming even when I was still, all I could
do was laugh. There was only one person who could do something
like this.

[Couple] neutaaaa:

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Isn’t that me?!??! go-

Even after seeing him come in, he stayed still without saying hello,
and as soon as I called him, he started yelling no. It was obvious
from the reaction.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Haha, I haven’t said anything yet.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Ah…. I got stabbed for no reason haha

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: But why didn’t you come in yesterday?>_<

[Couple] neutaaaa: I stretched out while drinking….

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: ㅋㅋㅋㅠㅠ I guess I’m not good at drinking

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: If I had come in yesterday, I would have at least


received the 3rd job change quest today.
As I sat on the deserted Marchen Bridge, the Earth Star soon
appeared through the portal. He rolled the black shadow spear in all
directions and rolled in the air, and as soon as he arrived next to
Yeowoon, he slammed the spear on the floor and used random
emoticons one after another.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: I have no way to contact you

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: The event period is fixed. Time continues to pass,


but if you don’t come in, the loss of experience is too great.

[Couple] neutaaaa: It’s my hand anyway, so what does it matter?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: It was frustratingㅜ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I waited all day yesterday….

[Couple] neutaaaa: ?
Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

After a half-hearted apology, the Earth Star finally stopped moving


around.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: New, do you know Whole Blue?

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ

[Couple] i9 star: install that


[Couple] neutaaaa: ?

Whole Blue was an app often used in games where the game voice
chat function was generally poor. I heard that it is often used by
guilds in various games because it has a voice chat function and the
server can accommodate multiple people at once. I’ve only actually
used it a few times….

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Then I’ll tell you my friend code>_<

[Couple] neutaaaa: Why?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: It’s uncomfortable. I’m trying to set the


connection time…Is this the purpose of saying things like what time
we will both be leaving?

[Couple] neutaaaa: ?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Do I even have to talk to that person?;; It’s


annoying….

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: You’re annoying me again ㅡㅡ;

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: Then are you going to make me wait all the
time???

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Don’t you know that time is more precious than
money?
Earth Star got irritated by moving around the map non-stop, as if her
body ached when she stayed still. But the lingering feeling was
sincere. If you just turn off the computer, you won’t know each other
anyway, so I don’t know why we should expand our contact methods
to other means. I didn’t even want to do that….

‘Ji9 Star invited you to the party. Do you want to accept it?’

At the party were Park Hwi-rae and Captain Poseidon. Today, it


seemed like Captain Poseidon was trying to help instead of Meow
Meow Meow. It was both a burden and a gratitude, so Yeo-woon felt
like a burden had been placed on his heart for no reason. Park Hwi-
lae and Captain Poseidon saw the place where the two people were
and moved to Marchen Bridge.

[Party] Park Hwibug: I heard that Newnim has confirmed that it has
become a slot machine!

[Party] Captain Poseidon: I’m sorryㅠㅠ Our guild members are


immatureㅜㅜ

[Party] neutaaaa: It’s okay

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: It’s okay haha

The four characters sitting on the railing on the bridge looked cute,
so Yeowoon took a screenshot without realizing it. The Poseidon
guild mark with the effect of pouring waves went well with the map’s
background full of starlight and romance.
[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: New, have I misunderstood this whole time? I think
I did that

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I was mistaken in thinking that you were the ones
who came into the guild and caused trouble.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: But if you look closely, it doesn’t seem like he’s that
kind of person….

suddenly?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Looks like he’s just a guy?ㄷㄷ

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㅡㅡ?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Ah, anyway, I feel a bit sorry.

Yeo-woon tilted his head in confusion at the sudden attempt to


resolve the misunderstanding.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: It’s artificial ^^; Even so, I will not raise
your position.

[Party] neutaaaa: Haha somehow….

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Erai ㄱ-


It seemed like he was caught trying to make a false apology to
increase his position while the guild master was there. Yeo-Woon
really liked Captain Poseidon, who was firm towards Earth Star,
regardless of whether he was a guild member or not.

[Party] neutaaaa: Earth Star

[Couple] neutaaaa: What do you do?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I’ll take care of it. They won’t even install Whole
Blue.

[Party] neutaaaa: Are you buying some in cash because you have
so much money?? Because I did it

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahaha

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Hahaha….

The party members laughed meaningfully at Yeowoon’s words. I felt


a sense of alienation.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Money…. There must be a lot…? It’s all


strange because I wrote it.

[Party] neutaaaa: Are you unemployed?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ? Haha, I’ve been working in the same job for 14
years.
So even if you started working right after graduating from high
school…. He could be seen as being older than Yeowoon’s cousin.
He spoke in a tone that gave no hint of age.

[Party] Park Hwibug: I’m a college student, 2nd year haha.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Hahahahahahaha 14 years

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh, what should I do if I say that?

The Earth Star fell to the floor and made a crying motion before
suddenly disappearing from its spot. When I clicked on the party
window and looked at the location, I could see that I had already
arrived at the ‘Wrath of the Lion King’ map, which is a higher
dungeon than the ant cave.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Oh, Earth Star is going first. Are you
embarrassed? . Shall we go too?

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: ㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋ

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Have you installed Holblue?

[Whispering] i9 star: I’m going to go to dinner soon…ㅜ Don’t you


wonder what time you come back after eating?

[Whisper] ㅈi9 Byul: I wonder what I do for a livingㅜㅜ

[Whisper] Gi9 Byul: Aren’t you curious about what you eat?
“….”

Earth Star really seemed to use the features given in the game well.
There is a party chat, so I use whispers, and sometimes I talk
through couple chat. But I never wondered what other people ate for
a living. Right now, I can’t even remember what I ate yesterday.

[Party] neutaaaa: The whispers are so small I can’t hear them well

[Party] ㅈi9Star: You’re really annoying

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ

[Party] Park Hwibug: The two of you are together…Are you in a


relationship?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Two Lovers ㅋ

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Aren’t you talking too harshly to me, Roach?

[Party] Park Hwibugae: ;;I’m sorry

Seeing that they were so frustrated with not having a means of


contact made me wonder if I should just hang out with them.
Yeowoon followed the party members into the dungeon and found
the application in the store, and the installation of the application was
completed the moment the boss monster, the Lion King, was
defeated.
[Whisper] neutaaaa: sq10e04wea

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: ?

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Ah

[Whisper] Ji9Star: Wow

Earth Star, who immediately recognized the form of the friend code
that was whispered in his ear, came over to his friend in less than a
minute. When I clicked the plus button to accept him as a friend, a
chat room with him was opened. There was a voice chat button at
the bottom right, and there was also an area where you could just
send and receive messages, similar to a regular chat.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I’ll come for dinner><

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Then, I’ll go out and get some coffee too.

[Party] Park Hwibug: I’m running errands for my dad….

Everyone left, leaving their characters in front of the dungeon,


saying they would finish their business within 30 minutes. After a
while, Earth Star sent a photo. His dinner tonight seemed to be
seasoned chicken with red sauce. After hesitating for a moment
about what to say in response, Yeowoon sent a thumbs-up
emoticon.
***

While Yeowoon was skimming through level dungeons and


walkthroughs while waiting for the party members to go do their own
business, an unidentifiable guild invitation window appeared on the
screen.

<Strawberry Jam>Guild

Lv.218 Taalgi invited you to the guild.

Do you want to accept?

[Whispering] Taalgi: Diving?

“…who?”

Taalgi suddenly appeared and was a custom character with green,


bare skin. Blue scales were sprouting up all over the skin, probably
because it had snake characteristics applied to it. He didn’t know
anyone, and he thought it was a bit strange that someone over level
200 would suddenly invite him to a guild, and it wasn’t a newly
created beginner’s guild. Yeowoon touched the arrow keys
incorrectly for a moment while putting the window away, causing the
character to flinch and go out of standby mode.

[Whispering] Taalgi: Oh, it’s not diving.


[Whispering] Taalgi: Since there is no guild sign on your head, our
seat is empty.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Suddenly…?

[Whispering] Taalgi: You are at level 10 in our guild, will you join?

“…?”

When you have a guild…Wouldn’t it be nice? I even thought about


listening to it again somewhere. It would be better to have
something than not have it. This is my first time being street-cast
like this, so I wonder if this is the correct procedure.

[Whispering] Taalgi: If you come in, I will give you good information.

“information?”

Good information. I immediately pressed the accept button.

A black night fog-like effect spread over my head, and a message


saying that my guild membership was complete appeared. Now I
also have a guild. Yeowoon felt proud and satisfied as he looked at
the star-shaped guild emblem floating above the character name.

[Guild] Taalgi: Newly joined.

[Guild] One: Hello~


[Guild] Motsuena: Hi~^^

[Guild] neutaaaa: Hello

Existing guild members welcomed the afterglow. For a guild that


stayed still and was cast, the guild effect was useful in its own way.
It seemed like I could get more experience points than the ghost
guild I first heard about, and it was amazing to see guild crops even
planted.

[Guild] Motsuena: But how old is neu?

[Guild] Motsuena: Woman? man?

‘hey. be careful. ‘I heard there are a lot of strange people on the


Internet these days, so don’t go around selling information
carelessly.’

I suddenly remembered something a friend of mine who never


played games told me. It seemed like the right thing to say.

[Guild] neutaaaa: It’s a secret?

[Guild] Motsuena: Looking at the secret, it must be a woman~ haha

[Guild] neutaaaa: Isn’t it?

[Guild] Motsuena: Yes~ haha


[Guild] Motsuena: If there is anything I can help you with, let me
know^^

[Guild] neutaaaa: No, it’s okay because there are already people
helping!

[Guild] Motsuena: Hmm~haha

There are crazy people everywhere, and there seemed to be at


least one crazy person in this guild as well. I think I met that too
early…. Yeowoon decided to come to his senses.

[Whispering] Taalgi: People who help me?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: But earlier…What is the information you are


giving me?

[Whispering] Taalgi: I’m curious? Haha

[Whisper] neutaaaa: ? You said you gave me the information first.

Taalgi jumped on top of Yeowoon’s head and fired shots at the three
Poseidon guild members who were performing a waiting motion in a
submerged state. It wasn’t in the guild zone, so no damage was
done.

[Whispering] Taalgi: Are you close with these people? Haha


At that one sentence, all kinds of thoughts passed through
Yeowoon’s mind.

‘I think we’re close at this level.’

…But what if I’m the only one who thinks that way? These people
are just helping me because of Earth, and I know that Earth is still
clinging to me because they also want something. So, no matter
how close we felt and how much we giggled at their words, we were
not yet at the stage where we could casually say we were close
friends.

[Whispering] Taalgi: Do we know each other? Haha

[Whispering] neutaaaa: No, just….

[Whispering] neutaaaa: It just so happens that you are helping me.

[Whispering] Taalgi: Hahahahaha I knew that would happen!

[Whispering] Taalgi: Since you don’t know anything, you probably go


around with people from that guild.

From what I was saying, there was definitely something between


Taalgi and the Poseidon Guild. No matter how hard you try to look at
it positively, it seems difficult to interpret it as having favorable
feelings.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: ?? What was there?


[Whispering] Taalgi: You didn’t know? They’re hackers.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Huh, is it true?

There are bound to be hackers in any game. However, Yeo-woon


was a little shaken because he had no idea that these were people
who would use nuclear weapons. Hack is an abbreviation for an in-
game hacking program, and its main purpose is to create a
favorable environment for users by modifying in-game scripts. The
skill range is extremely short, but the damage is done, or it is difficult
to get a headshot due to the distance, but the aim is amazing. ‘How
is that possible?’ In all likelihood, it was nuclear.

[Whisper] Taalgi: Just search for Poseidon in Illusion or Sasage and


it will come up haha.

The free bulletin board regenerates so quickly, and just looking at


the accident bulletin board was so frustrating that I didn’t even think
about looking at it. Yeo-woon, who had been going in and out of the
strategy bulletin board every time, just stared at the monitor and
blinked. At that time, Park Hwi-bugae was released from the waiting
motion. As soon as he confirmed his return, Taalgi disappeared from
the map.

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Hey Eva New, when did you join the guild??
thief

“….”

Are they really using nuclear weapons? Nonsense.


[Party] Park Hwibugae: Huh, has anyone come yet?

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: Hah, I left in a huff for no reason ㅜㅜ

[Whispering] Taalgi: There are more than just nuclear weapons. It


would be better to search for them yourself and then judge for
yourself.

“….”

Is it true? Yeowoon opened an Internet window and went to the site


he had registered as a favorite. Yeowoon went to the free bulletin
board on the Illusion main website and entered the word ‘Poseidon’
into the search bar.

Title: Is this nuclear? (pictured)

Posted by: (Anonymous)

A level 170 level Wolfist beats a pony solo at a level 200 hunting
ground. I calculated the damage and wondered if this would work. It
has Credem in it, just look at the picture haha.

(Athens_seop_nuclear_catch.jpg)

I couldn’t see the equipment because the information was closed,


but even if you hit all three options on 170 equipment, you can’t get
results like that. It’s not a random screenshot, but deals that look like
photos come out consistently.
Isn’t it a bit strange that he keeps making deals that are difficult for
even a muscle damage dealer to do, even though he has a job that
uses spread skills? I asked people who know me and they said it
was nuclear, so I came to ask.

Just in case, I calculated it by referring to the skill coefficient


distribution table and the maximum draw option in the strategy
game. When a low-level Wolfist fights against a pony’s defense, the
Cridem is > 500,000, excluding monster attribute power, sub-
options, big boost potions, and notarization effects, right?

But look, it’s not a deal that hit a low-level snail, and a 170-level
player who hits 200 ponies can’t get a deal of 4 million haha.

Do snails and ponies have the same defense?

And isn’t he from the Poseidon Guild? I’ve been seeing this a lot
lately in my sleep.

(4 comments were registered.)

-It’s Poseidon haha.

-Will this game’s damage core even break through?

-What if the weapon has a high luck option?

⤷If you greatly increase your luck by bringing it up to your soul…It


may be possible, but if you look at the picture, you can see that
there isn’t much of a difference in normal hitting, right? It is difficult
to reliably draw even average damage due to luck.

The character that appeared in the article was


Nyannyangnyangnyang. The article was written early yesterday
morning, and it seemed certain that Cat Cat Cat Cat was playing
solo in a 200-level hunting ground. In addition, there were
consistently at least one post a week that captured Poseidon guild
members and suspected them of being hack users.

Title: Athene Seop Do you have any children? [Poseidon] <<Avoid


this guild

Posted by: (Anonymous)

My contribution was wasted. I’m just crying, really…There are


victims other than me, fuck…If you’re forced to leave a guild and
have to join a new guild, you’re wasting your time, and they don’t
even compensate you for this time loss haha; If there are people
looking to join a guild event, definitely avoid Poseidon^^

(Group talk_withdrawn_capture ㅅㅂ_.jpg)

I asked the hackers very politely if they were going to use hacks, but
two people who joined on the same day as me laughed at my words
and were kicked out…. There was a hacker who was very talkative
and strong, so he couldn’t even utter a rebuttal and just mumbled
until he was blocked;;; I was so angry that I asked my father why he
didn’t send me to a speech academy when I was young. I told him
that it was all because of him, and then scolded him twice for being
an unfilial child….
(In-game_report_.jpg)

ㅅㅂ But that’s because I also heard something. If someone passes


by and tells you that this is a hack-oriented guild, why don’t you ask?
I asked just in case, but seeing him get so fucking angry gave me a
strong feeling…. If only the nuclear bastards had spoken nice words,
I would have sided with them;; But seeing how they treat me, they
should be ruined. I don’t know how many reports I put in before I
was kicked out, but I got banned from OpenTalk for a month ㅠㅠ

Ha, what’s wrong with those people who split up and got kicked out
because of what I said? If they really wanted to beat me up, they
would have beaten me, you fucking bastards…I’m so fucking sorry,
I’m so sorry ㅜㅜ

(104 comments were registered.)

-Why is there so much trouble in that guild these days? It’s the fault
of the person who didn’t look into it.

-? Summary lol

⤷Okay, live that short life and look after it~

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Talk capture is so funny [You guys are really good at


picking deals, what kind of hack do you use? Haha] Hahahaha You
didn’t know I was being sarcastic, did you?

⤷ㅋActually, it’s true that I was being sarcastic….


-It makes me wonder if they are a hacker guild. Why on earth don’t
we stop nuclear weapons? Isn’t it a more fatal flaw than a bug on
the game company side? If it’s a bug, I’d suggest fixing it as soon as
possible haha. They’re using their hacks to ruin the balance in the
game.

-You were bullied there? ㅠㅠ It looks like everyone but you used
nuclear weapons lol I guess you didn’t want me to know.

⤷No…. Look at the picture, I was in a group chat too….ㅠㅠ Since I


was a new member, I was so focused on keeping my eyes shut, but
I wonder if I would have told you about the nuclear program if I had
acted like a friend, and all I could do was cry.

⤷ㄴIf this guy had been left alone, he would have used nuclear
weapons together haha.

There was a photo of the writer responding to Earth Star, who was
laughing as he asked where he had heard such bullshit, in the guild
chat room, saying, ‘Why are you using speed hacks too?’ and then
being beaten tenfold and even being kicked out of the guild. Looking
at the in-game screenshots reported, I thought it was a similar case
to mine. Just in case, Yeowoon opened the chat window and took a
screenshot of what Taalgi told me, just in case.

[Whispering] Taalgi: I kinda know one of them, so haha.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Huh really?

[Whispering] Taalgi: Yeah, don’t get too close.


[Whispering] neutaaaa: Thank you for letting me knowㄷㄷ….

[Whispering] Taalgi: What? Now that you are our Gilwon, I have to
help you live.

I am grateful for the information, but no matter how much I think


about it, it is difficult to draw a conclusion after only hearing one side
of the story. Should I ask…. What should I do if I ask the Earth Star
and it says shit to me like it said in that article? I thought I might
have become attached to them just because they treated me kindly.

While hesitating about what to do, Captain Poseidon and Earth


returned again. The three people jumped up and twirled next to
Yeowoon as if they were performing a ritual. When Yeo-woon left the
standby state by gently moving the arrow keys, Park Hwi-rae
activated the buff that increased defense within the range.

“….”

Okay, rather than avoiding it, let’s just ask! It would be better to turn
around and ask!

[Party] neutaaaa: Are you guys using hacks?

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Huh?

[Party] Park Hwibug: ?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅡㅡ???


When I saw the reaction, I thought I was completely screwed.

[Party] neutaaaa: Otherwise, I’m sorry. I was waiting for you earlier,
but someone passed by and suddenly said that to me….

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m just curious

[Party] neutaaaa: It’s Sibiani

[Party] Park Hwibug: None of us use nuclear weapons….

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Who said that?

I wondered if I could tell you who it was, but I also wondered if there
was any point in knowing. They probably talked about it anyway
because it was a public fact, and it seemed like there were people in
Poseidon who knew about it.

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m Gilma, the guild I just joined….

[Party] Park Hwi Bugae: One step forward/a talent…. Why do you
pretend to know

[Party] Park Hwibug: That’s not what I said to New!

[Party] ㅈi9Byeol: I said it wasn’t like that, and even showed the
recorded video, but they said it wasn’t full screen, so I guess it’s one
of them.
[Party] ㅈi9Star: I guess I’ll feel better if I blame the hack for their
inability to control!><

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: But strawberry jam? << Where is this? This is my
first time hearing it.

Which one is right? Everyone says it’s nuclear, but the people
involved say it’s not. To be honest, Yeowoon wanted to take the
latter side more. This is a country of school ties and blood ties. Of
course, none of these apply to any of the three.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: I guess I should have just invited the guild
and left.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: In the group chat earlier, Earthstar asked


if I could invite him to Newta’s guild.

“…?”

[Party] neutaaaa: Me?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ….

Why? I didn’t even make the guild level cut, and I was rejected for
membership once last time, so it was quite surprising that they were
thinking of inviting me now. I thought you were someone I wouldn’t
see at all after the event was over.

[Server] ㅈi9 Byul: [Strawberry Jam] <<<<<<I’m here lol


[Server] ㅈi9 Byul: [Strawberry Jam] <<<<<<I’m here lol

[Server] ㅈi9 Byul: [Strawberry Jam] <<<<<<I’m here lol

At that time, the server microphone rang throughout the entire


server.

[Party] Park Hwibeol-rae: Oh, that elementary school kid hahahaha

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: ?Why are you doing something fun


without me again?

[Party] Captain Poseidon: They’re fighting again. Someone please


stop them…sob

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Ah, I am Gilma…ㅠㅠ

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Stop the Earth!

[Party] Park Hwibug: Haha, I’m going to stop you.

[Guild] Taalgi: Merge? Haha

At that time, the guild master and the person who delivered the
news about the core to Yeo-woon appeared on the chat in
confusion. Yeowoon, who was the starting point of this situation,
trembled with his hands.
[Server] ㅈi9 Byul: [Strawberry Jam] <<<<<< Come out from this
class!! go-

[Guild] Taalgi: ?? Am I talking?

Yeo-woon was so stung that he decided to switch the chat window to


guild chat and report the matter.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Actually, I asked if you were using hacks.

[Guild] Taalgi: Hahahahahahahahahaha what did you say?

[Guild] neutaaaa: I heard you never use it?

[Guild] Taalgi: That’s what you say hahahahahaha

[Guild] Motsuena: Newcomer, you believed that haha. You are naive
and really helpful haha.

“Cute…?”

Fuck.

Yeoun ignored Motsuena’s words. Humans are instinctively equipped


with crazy radar, and now Yeo-woon’s has responded. Motsuena
gave off the aura of a crazy kid. Not long after, Taalgi server micro
began to counter the aggro of Earth Star.
[Server] Taalgi: If you have something to say, say it in a whisper.

[Server] ㅈi9Star: Another nuclear chant…. Do you like me? Is that


the only thing you can talk about? ㅜㅜI’m really, really sorry. I
control things better than you. What should I do?

[Server] Ji9 Star: ★★★Nuke is leaving★★★

[Server] ㅈi9star: I think I can take down 15 of you by myself! If I


post a video of people tying their hands and countering with
telekinesis, will you believe that it’s not a nuclear weapon? ㄱ - Then,
start practicing your superpowers from today.

In addition, Earth Star demonstrated a technique of saying ten


words while others said one. It wasn’t even surprising anymore.

[Server] Taalgi: Are you saying we should have a guild battle? I like it
haha

[Server] ㅈi9 Star: I heard about it and the guild war haha ㅠㅅㅠ It’s
a shame to the family

[Server] i9 stars: Guild battles are a waste of time and I’m


embarrassed, so let’s just go to 2:2 PVP><

[Server] Taalgi: Alright ㅆ1 Balomah

[Server] ㅈi9star: I don’t like you, but it’s 7ㅐone meal!!


[Server] Hamster: You bastards; Are you guys dating? It’s so loud,
go out and fight!!!!!!! I can’t even see what I just ate.

[Server] Taalgi: We will organize the contents and send you an


email. Haha, we can nominate the person, right?

[Server] ㅈi9Star: ㅇ

Earth Star, who had created a PVP schedule in an instant, swapped


weapons and wandered around in front of the dungeon portal. What
I meant was to quickly level up. Meanwhile, in the guild chat window,
the guild masters, Taalgi and Strawberry Jam guild members, were
cursing the hack users and saying that it was a good thing that
things had turned out this way. Looking at what he was saying, it
seemed like he was going to broadcast the play screen to the
outside world and publicize the video of Poseidon using nuclear
weapons.

Could it be that things have become too big? Yeo-woon was worried
that the fight might have started because of what he said, so he
couldn’t hide his anxiety and repeated writing and erasing the words
several times.

[Party] neutaaaa: It’s okay to do this…?

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Oh, they are the first ones -_-

[Party] Captain Poseidon: I have raised your position to Mr. Earth^^

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅇ0ㅇ!


[Party] ㅈi9Star: Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!

Unlike the strawberry jam side, the people at Poseidon were very
excited. Earth Star didn’t bring up nuclear-related topics anymore,
and he didn’t even tell Yeowoon about the Strawberry Jam Guild.
They seemed so focused on raising the level of lingering emotions
that they had forgotten what had just happened.

***

Ding.

The black phone screen brightened with an unfamiliar sound. A


message came from an unfamiliar app. Yeo-woon, who saw the icon
and wondered what it was, realized that it was the Whole Blue app
that he had installed a while ago and unlocked his phone.

「Earth: New?」

Below the international date line that marks today’s date, a message
arrived from Earth Star asking me where I was. A sign appeared
saying that he had read the message, or because he was writing it,
‘…The icon displayed as ‘ has disappeared. It seemed as if the
Earth Star was quietly waiting for his answer.

“It’s outside?”
「Earth: I think you should come in quickly.」

Why am I shaking all of a sudden? Did something happen?

“Earth: Are you busy?”

Something really happened! Feeling impatient, Yeowoon stopped


walking, stopped in the middle of the street, and tapped on his
phone with one hand.

“Did something big happen?”

「Earth: Your level is in big trouble!!!」

“Well….」

Well then. It wasn’t worth dealing with. Yeowoon decided to swipe


the app upwards and continue on his way. After handling all the
recycling and general waste that had been put off for a week, I felt
much relieved.

After emptying the trash, I came back home empty-handed, but the
data that had not been working suddenly exploded again, and
messages that I had not received before began to come in all at
once. There was a series of vibrations and dinging sounds inside the
pocket. Surprised by the sound, Yeowoon opened the Whole Blue
app again and checked the messages sent by Earth Star.

“Earth: It’s working properly.”


「Earth: (photo)」

“Earth: The 2v2 PVP schedule was just scheduled, but I don’t think
you have confirmed it yet><“

“Earth: I’m planning to play a three game next weekend. Do you


have time?”

「Earth: ㅜㅜAm I blocked?」

I belatedly checked the photos sent by Earth Star. The photo was a
capture of a portion of the in-game screen, and the mail that had
arrived from Taalgi was included in the screen.

mail.j [Received
pg mail]

Sender : Taalgi

title : Schedule
coordination

We discussed with our guild members and made a PVP schedule.


Your criteria for selecting players was to select the two with the
clearest circumstances as users suspected of being hackers haha.

*date*

Choose between two days next weekend to reply

*Victory decision*

2:2 PVP (8 minutes) / Decision made in three rounds.

>If you win 2 out of 3 games, you win. Replay if tied due to time
over

*Participants*

[Poseidon] Guild: <ㅈi9Star> / <Nyankyangnyangnyang>

[Strawberry Jam] Guild: <Motsuena> / <neutaaaa>

On that day, our guild <Motsuena> plans to broadcast the game


video via live streaming.

If you don’t want to be exposed for using hacks on the day of the
game and want to be punished, just quietly end the program and
compete fairly.^^
Everything else was good. However, when Yeowoon saw that his
name was included in the list of participants, he raised his hand and
rubbed his eyes a couple of times. Of course, there was no way the
written letters would have changed.

“No, why am I…?」

Yeo-woon, who naturally thought he was being left out of that fight,
closed his eyes in confusion.

“Earth: I guess you were the only person on the same level as me
haha.”

「Earth: You haven’t done your 4th job advancement yet, and they
know that two level 200s vs. me + a low level cat seems like an
unfair structure to you. Haha.」

For a guild I joined on a whim, there wasn’t a single person over


level 200. Strawberry Jam was a guild with its own assortment that
made you wonder why they suddenly singled you out and invited you
to the guild. As a student, Nyangnyangnyangnyang was only able to
log in in the evening, so the speed at which she leveled up was not
that fast.

“I see….”

If that was the case, I could understand it a bit. It would have been
nice if you had informed me of that fact in advance. I have never
participated in official PVP content in Illusion, so I felt like I would
need to practice until next week.
“Earth: Yes, if I win the PVP (of course), I’m going to ask something
from Strawberry Jam.”

「Earth: In a way, I started a fight because of you, so I can do


whatever I want?」

「? yep”

Earth Star listened to me and even captured the photo and sent it to
me. They said they were putting it in the gallery so they wouldn’t
change it later, but I couldn’t figure out why they were telling that to
me in the first place.

“Earth: If I finish the 3rd quest today, I think you and I will be able to
roughly level up and start the couple dungeon and new scenario
within this week….」

Earth Star, who lives impulsively and without a plan, tends to plan
very strategically when playing games. Yeowoon, who had been
busy mindlessly following Earth Star and doing quests he was told to
do, was leveling up faster than ever thanks to that.

“Earth: When will you come in?”

“Ah, today….”

It’s hard to get in quickly today. I decided to look at properties for


sale to find a new place to move. So, I was planning to go home late
at night and check attendance briefly, but since I found myself like
this, I felt like I should go home early.
“I have some business to do outside, so I’m going home in the
evening.”

“Earth: What time?”

Yeo-woon drew up a schedule as tight as possible in his head,


plotted the route, and wrote down a time that seemed roughly
possible.

“8 o’clock? “About?”

「Earth: Hmm….」

Earth Star gave a vague answer and went offline. He must have
gone back to playing games or doing his own thing. There was no
need to text me first to see if this was all I needed to know.

Seonyong

Yeo-un Lee, I’m late because of traffic.

Seonyong

Just wait 30 minutes

blanket

Seonyong
;; I offered to give him a ride, but he was rude…. What is the
answer? Write it properly, not the initial consonant

ㅇ/ㅇ~!

Seonyong

Write it down with a grateful heart

%~!♥

Seonyong

Crazy vibes….

Anyone who sees it will think you’re giving them a ride for free. I
decided to buy both lunch and dinner today, so what’s the problem?
Yeowoon snorted and washed his hands under running water. As I
sat in front of the shoe cabinet and read through the previous mail, a
small question arose.

By the way, even if we assume that Cat Cat is a student, she can’t
come home in the morning. Didn’t we say that Earth is also a college
student? But why doesn’t he go to school even one day a week? But
soon after, that thought disappeared completely thanks to a phone
call telling me to come down.

Title: Awesome, someone is having fun with the hack users of that
guild

Posted by Jeongsimape/Nightspear

If you search for ‘strawberry jam,’ you will find an article written by
Gilma, who started this business!

Looking at it, it doesn’t seem to be a ranking guild, but it looks like


you have a lot of courage.

They call them hackers out loud.

(15 comments were registered.)

-I heard that Strawberry Jam is broadcasting the video in real time


for everyone to watch. ^That guild^ I think half of the guild members
will be cut off because they ate it lol ^-

⤷I came on a pilgrimage to the Holy Land in advance.

⤷ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It would be a good thing if they fed the portrait


right nowㅋㅋㅋ They should have done that a long time ago.
-Motsuena and Earth Star go back and forth in in50, so I know their
names, but who are the other two? Is it just to accommodate the
number of people?

⤷Nyannyangnanyang<<This is a wolfist who uses damage hacks,


neutaaaa<<I don’t even know about him…? I’ve been hanging out
with Poseidon lately, so I thought I’d join Poseidon soon, but today I
look and see that I’m in the other guild??? Zodiac sign

-Hey, but the job compatibility is no joke haha. If it’s a combination of


Gunner + Shadow Warrior, all close and long distances are covered,
so the game is over. But Poseidon’s job is the Blind Job + Night
Spear (…) Nas is a job that infiltrates the opponent’s camp and hits
them, but if it’s a close + long range party, it’s the end of the game.
You know there really is no answer, right? If both conditions are
without a healer, the difference becomes larger. The Gunner sucks
up to a certain amount of blood compared to the amount of damage,
making it almost invincible.

⤷Don’t call a lost job a Wolfist ㅜㅜ Because after the 4th job
change, you become more of a Valkyrie (meaning trash) haha.

⤷ Even on Earth, that kid has the worst speed stats, so if he gets hit
with a short-range explosive attack just once, his back will be
broken.

Title: (Hot article right now!) As I looked at it, I started to get


confused about the purpose of this fight.

Juer Strawberry Jam vs. Poseidon Prob Battle

[Hot posts right now!] [Come see the fall of nuclear users]
www.illusions2.net/board_10311124

This is a derivative article!! Please read the article above first

First of all, I also think that hack users should just eat Yeongjeong
and leave. Hacks are really bad and the game balance is ruined and
it becomes a shortcut to shit. I think it’s so damn mean! But I’m not
yet out of the newbie stage, so even if it was explained to me what it
was, I didn’t really understand it haha.

(Duel_Mail_.jpg)

Anyway, at first, I thought it was just a common development where


people fight and fight while playing a game. It’s not a guild team
match, and if it’s a 2v2 fight, it won’t have the fun and excitement
that you see in a group match, and it’ll just be fun, so I wondered
why do it lol.

No, isn’t everyone like that besides me? The reason the bulletin
board is so overheated is because Strawberry Jam is streaming
videos lol.

To be honest, GM is also curious so he voyeurizes, huh? GMs, if


you are reading this, please upgrade Moon Fairy in the next update,
you bastards.

Anyway
[Hot posts right now!] [Come see the fall of nuclear users]
www.illusions2.net/board_10311124

If you look at the comments here, there are comments from Earth
Star (the hacker) and Poseidon Captain (that guild gilma)? You can
find it on about 3 pages.

(Comment_capture_taxidermy.jpg)

Hahahahahaha

I decided to beat everyone on Earth if they win. I hope they lose


because other people’s beatings are so fun…. But if they win, they
want ‘our child’ back.

Eh? Who is my child? I kept refreshing to see what was going on,
and the comments below explained it hahaha.

Conclusion: neutaaaa <<our baby

lim…. ㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ Who is this one of the two -
person girls in the strawberry jam guild. There’s a strange English
nickname after Motsuena. lol

(Report_Screenshot_011.jpg)

I heard that Poseidon walked around with me for a month and


helped me level up, so maybe that’s why if you go to the top post
and look at the comments, you’ll see that the capture pictures of
them walking around are varied by map. But wasn’t this guild
famous for hating newbies? Why don’t you raise your level…. Is it a
guild member alt or an acquaintance? I don’t know much about this,
so I’ll skip it for now.

(Report_Screenshot_005.jpg)

This is it. The purpose of my writing this article comes from here.

About a week before the previous screenshot, the Earth Star risked
his life on ‘our kid’ and killed him in the guild zone haha. No, just look
at this…what…I wanted to

(Report_Screenshot_015.jpg)

however;;;; This is more funny ㅜㅜㅜㅜ TT TT Fucking the Earth


Star and Neutaaa? (This is a screenshot of a confession personally
reported by Halloween Branch of the Poseidon Guild! Thank you
Halloween Branch for this rare picture^^)

Strawberry Jam Guild Purpose: Damn the hackers!

Poseidon Guild Purpose: Let’s get our kid back!

lol

lol

ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
I don’t know how ‘our child’ was taken away. Just…. It’s just
ridiculous to watch; I don’t know if their relationship is good or not,
but it’s so funny that couples just join different guilds and fight over
things like this.

To be honest, it would be nice if the planet Earth lost and exploded,


but if the GMs were blind, they would see it and punish it if it was
nuclear. Haha. I want to hurry up and watch the broadcast next
weekend~

(315 comments were registered.)

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I recommend this perspective as it is somewhat


refreshing.

-Isn’t this the Poseidon Dog Hako Guild? When did it grow so big??

⤷It’s been a while since nuclear sharing became unheard of.

⤷Then shouldn’t the guild be disbanded?

⤷Haha GM is famous for not doing his job properly.

-I was online when the two of them were fighting, so I was


wondering what was going on, and it was this hahaha. Earthstar was
the first to start a fight, but did she do that because her lover was
taken away by another guild?

⤷But why do you cut off your lover when you two are dating??
⤷ㄴIsn’t that it? Smple

⤷ㄴㄴIt’s exhilarating when your experience points drop.

- Guys, where do you get the nuclear information from?? If I use


that, will it get stronger?? ((Puffpumpbuck

⤷ㅋ It’s kids like this that make me lose my nuclear power.

⤷Just search around.

⤷ Looking at Nick, it looks like he was born in 2012…Stop losing

⤷Hey…I said I’d look around and take a look, but that was too
harsh…. Have you never been a 12 in your life?

⤷ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Yes, I have never been 12ㅠㅠ

⤷ㄴStop shooting…. So so cute

-When is the broadcast?

⤷Difficult to read haha

⤷It’s the weekend next week, idiot.

⤷ㄴThank you, you fucking idiots.


-This is separate from the main text, but isn’t that the Shinseongsu
map? ㅜㅜ You can’t stand on the clouds unless there are kids
floating around like the Moon Fairy…. On Earth, how did he do that?

⤷??? Oh, it’s true

⤷Isn’t it synthetic?

⤷ㄱㄷI’ll go see it

⤷Oh wow, I saw this comment and now I went and stepped on it,
and there was a hidden step haha. It must be a bug.

⤷ Shinseongsu is full of people who came to see you sleeping.


Guys, get out of here ^^; I’ll go up too

-The one that starts with N seems to be a newbie…What’s wrong


with Cody? Isn’t there a hack for Cody? I want to give you a ticket
for eye plastic surgery as a gift. It’s painful to look at your basic
eyes~ㅜㅜ

⤷Is there a coordination hack?

⤷Isn’t the planet Earth deliberately dressed like that and dragged
around to make itself stand out?

⤷ㄴangmaㄷㄷ
-Newbie, I guess he’s a Little Fore refugee hahaha. All the kids who
came from Little Fore are wearing that cheap cape. Haha. That was
a bit of a symbol of wealth in Little Fore. It was an item like that
haha.

⤷ Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

⤷I also played Little Forest, but I don’t know what it is lol.

⤷ Hahahahahahahahaha I understand.

The Guy Next Door

“Why are you staring at the cafe so intently? Yeowoon Lee, do you
want some coffee?”

“No, just….”

…He’s not there today? Yeowoon stared at the inside of the glass
window, licked his lips, and turned around.

As I walked around the neighborhood, looking for each of the


buildings I had marked, perhaps by coincidence, one building was
located right in front of the cafe in question. As soon as I got out of
the car, a familiar scenery caught my eye, and for some reason I
liked this place. When I looked at it from the outside, the building
didn’t look that old, and I had the feeling that it couldn’t be any other
than this house.

When I went into a nearby real estate and said I wanted to see the
house, “Why did you come so quickly?” “I heard you’ll only come in
the afternoon?” he asked. There was someone who had made an
appointment to come see the house. The friend who gave me a ride
poked my side. Did you contact me? Yeowoon shook his head very
gently. I felt like if I made a mistake, I would lose the property to a
competitor.
“Boss, I’m busy this afternoon. Is it possible for you to see me
now?”

“huh? Okay, then.”

Fortunately, it was an empty house with no tenants, so Yeo-woon


was able to go into the house that was for sale right away. Even in
the mansion, the house located on the top floor was so well lit that
the sunlight stretched into the middle of the living room as soon as
you entered.

“I’m very lucky.”

With a lingering feeling, my friend, who had lived alone for over five
years, whispered in my ear. The building was new, and this was the
first house I had ever seen that had nothing to be desired in terms
of the conditions I had envisioned. There must be two or more
rooms and not a semi-floor. It’s good if it’s close to a station, and it
should be a building that doesn’t have a restaurant on the first floor.
There must be an elevator, and I wanted good lighting if possible.

I like this place the most. I didn’t think I would be able to find a
house in these conditions anywhere else. Yeowoon had the
experience of having her house, which was 5 minutes away from her
university, taken away by 10 minutes. I didn’t want to go through
something like that again, so I took the money I had and paid the
preliminary down payment. Is it okay for things to proceed so
smoothly like this? I was embarrassed because the moving matter
was carried out so smoothly as if someone was helping me.

“what? next week?”


“I just called Yongdal Moving Company and they said the newlywed
house we were planning to move into next weekend had a puncture.
Looks like the bride ran into her first love on her wedding day. But
they said it was the groom’s older brother.”

“Wow, awesome.”

“So I set it that day.”

“really? “You set a date to move to next week?”

“Save some time next weekend. Clean it up.”

“…You shameless bastard….”

I haphazardly set a moving date and when I looked at the date, it


was next Saturday. It seemed like something was happening over
the weekend…. Yeo-woon felt uneasy because he felt like he had
forgotten something, but he thought he had to tell his parents about
this news first, so he left for a moment. Even though I was scolded
by my mother and asked, “What kind of crazy kid would sign a
contract for the next house before even putting down the deposit?”,
I felt much relieved.

“Ha Seon-yong, let’s go now! “Mom says she’ll lend you money until
you take out the deposit.”

Seonyong hung up the phone and turned his head towards Yeo-
woon, who was fluttering towards him. His expression looked so
shocked that Yeowoon tilted his head.
“why?”

“I just met the person next door….”

“…?”

It seemed like someone had come up in the elevator while I was


talking on the phone on the stairs. Seonyong repeatedly burst into
laughter as he recalled the situation just before.

“I asked if I was moving in here and I said it would be next weekend,


right?”

“huh.”

“I smiled and said nice things. So, ‘It’s the weekend after all.’ “They
said he went in.”

“Did you?”

“uh. I slammed the door so hard that I thought the front door was
falling. Fuck, you put it in people’s faces and open the door like
that….”

“It was too much.”

“Be careful, Yeowoon Lee. Someone lives next door to you.”


“Isn’t it because you’re scared of your smiling face? “Your nephew
always cries when he sees your face.”

Seonyong usually had a blunt appearance, but when he smiled, his


expression tended to become even harsher. Because of that, my
unrequited love for my four-year-old nephew was still ongoing.

“Our Haejin is naturally very scared, right?”

“For that matter, you were the only one who was scared….”

“hey!”

When Yeo-woon muttered in a low voice, Seon-yong got annoyed by


squeezing Yeo-woon’s collar and pretending to shake it. Yeowoon
listened to his words with one ear and nodded his head roughly. It
was almost like I had no idea.

I lived in a four-person dormitory, and I lived on a semi-floor. Maybe


it’s because I moved here and there and often met strange villains
next door, but something as cute as slamming a door wasn’t enough
to drive Yeo-woon into despair.

***
‘Congratulations! You have been promoted to Shadow Warrior!’

‘Skill has been reset. Please press the shortcut key ‘K’ to check your
skills.’

When Yeowoon changed jobs from the labyrinth to ‘Shadow Warrior’,


the pre-hero stage, you could see that the waiting motion and the
design of the footrests under the character’s feet had changed.
Weapons that can no longer be used turn gray and are moved to the
equipment window. The character’s hands were empty, so they
waved as they walked.

[Party] neutaaaa: Wow, that’s right…I forgot that the weapon I use
changes when I change jobs….

[Party] neutaaaa: I disassembled all the equipment lol.

Because the unnecessary equipment window took up too much of


the item slot, I disassembled all the items and turned them into
medium-grade fragments. I emptied the equipment compartment six
times, and it occurred to me that one of them might have been a
Shadow Warrior weapon.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Haha, I was slaying a dragon earlier and


got Orb S+ haha.

[Party] neutaaaa: Huh

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: You show off with miscellaneous items


Still, miscellaneous items are better than nothing. Yeowoon passed
by the Earth Star and used the motion of flopping down and kneeling
in front of the Halloween branch.

[Party] neutaaaa: Please give it to me, teacher….

Then, the Halloween branch smiled,


‘Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
kkkkkk’ and put his hand on Yeowoon’s head, who was kneeling, and
made a motion to give a blessing. And then the deal came.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Use it temporarily before getting a new


weapon. Change it when a higher option comes out.

[Party] neutaaaa: What are you doing like this?

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Is it weird to say thank you?

‘The transaction is complete.’

Thanks to a lot of help from Earth Star and Poseidon guild


members, Yeowoon was able to complete the 3rd job change quest
in a very short time. I could immediately see how much time had
been shortened by seeing that a user who started a similar quest in
the city of change was still collecting blue flowers for the change
even after Yeowoon completed the change.

“this person is…Why didn’t you take a picture of the beast’s eyes?
“Is this a job that doesn’t require critical hits?”
Yeowoon left the skill tree article, which he had no faith in, and went
in search of an article written by someone else. And that was when I
was looking at the strategy and focusing on skills based on magic
attack power. As he was testing out the skill he had just acquired, a
bright red tulip passed by, circling above Yeowoon’s head.

“uh? Tulip.”

When I saw a green sprout sprouting like an afterimage in the spot


where the user had passed, I had a question. This was the first item
I saw on this server. I think it’s the one I gave to Earth last time….

[Party] neutaaaa: Earth Star, why don’t you use tulips??

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Oh, there is no Earth right now!

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: It’s been a while since I went to a


fashion store to get eye surgery and go shopping….

Now that I think about it, the Earth Star character sitting next to
Yeowoon has disappeared. Somehow, the background seems quiet
today. It was really easy on my eyes because I couldn’t see the thing
flying around.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Tulip I’m probably saving it because it’s


a unique item haha.

[Party] neutaaaa: Movement speed?? Why do you save it?


[Party] Halloween Eggplant: This season’s PVP rankings will
conclude next Sunday.

“…?”

Does it matter? It was difficult to find a connection between PVP and


movement speed items. The competition system isn’t even a
running race….

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: At that time, the fluctuation in the in100


rankings is so big that even when I talk to them, they don’t even
respond, so they just keep score all day long.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: If you go to the Isis fighting arena on


the day, all the rankers are there haha. I guess I’ll use it then.

Now that I think about it, I heard that the planet Earth is ranked last.
I didn’t know how I got into the rankings after being hit by a queen
ant in an ant cave and having a defense that only knocked back….
While I was thinking about it, I looked up yesterday’s ranking table
on the homepage and found that ‘ㅈi9Star’ was up to 18th place.

[Party] neutaaaa: You’re not that strong, so why are you a ranker?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: LOL? They gossip like this when they say there is
no one there…go-;;;

[Party] ㅈi9Byeol: I’m telling my brother that I just changed my 3rd


job change…I’m not weak, right? It’s different when you fight one on
one, right? I can KO you in 10 seconds too.
[Party] neutaaaa: Ah yes haha

Actually, I didn’t have much expectations. Even so, what can you do
with the stamina that dies after a few hits from the queen ant? .

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Looks like you had a great shopping trip

As he said, the clothes on the planet Earth had completely changed.


It seemed like squirrel skins had arrived in fashion shops for spring.
The small ears on top of its head twitched intermittently every few
seconds, and the large squirrel tail on its butt swung along with the
Earth Star every time it double-jumped. After showing off her
clothes, the Earth Star came to stand tall in the middle of the
Halloween branch and the afterglow.

[Party] neutaaaa: Why haven’t you used Tulip yet?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Let’s brag about it later in front of a lot of


people>_<ㅋㅋㅋ

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahaha fighting arena?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅇ!

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: I knew it would be like that

…There was no particular reason. I gave it as a gift, but I didn’t use


it, so I thought I sold it somewhere.
‘Death Wing!’

‘Earthquake!’

‘Bloody Fog!’

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Wow, you’re good at it.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Use your skills well haha

When Yeowoon showed off the new skills he had moved to the
shortcut to show that he had used all the skills, Halloween Branch
and Earth Star stood side by side and clapped.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m going to go get my hair and eyes done.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Anyone who wants to come see me change my


eyes into cute eyes! ><

[Party] neutaaaa: Cute?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: What; It’s the name of the eye

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: It can’t come out all at once

[Party] ㅈi9Star: So I bought three change ticketsㅡㅡ

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I go first!


The Earth Star disappeared from the map and its location in the
party window changed to ‘Isis Makeup Shop’. As Yeowoon used the
warp capsule to move to where the Earth Star was, he raised his
hand and said hello.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: I hope it gets ruined haha

[Party] neutaaaa: Come out bald….

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Haha, as soon as the hair appears, I


have to capture it and take a picture~

Earth Star must have used the right to change his hairstyle first, and
the beauty salon machine swallowed his head. When the writhing
machine finally spit out the Earth Star, its hairstyle changed.
Halloween Branch was visibly disappointed as the fluffy cloud hair
with a mysterious sky color was revealed before my eyes.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Why is Cloud on Want?

Halloween Eggplant was quite disappointed that a tier 0 hairstyle


appeared all at once. You can change the style of a bald head or
basic hairstyle with a guaranteed ticket, but anyone who looks at it
says, ‘Oh, that looks expensive.’ The hair I wanted had to be chosen
based on probability.

Perhaps because she found the style she wanted, Earth Star
changed all her outfits to sky blue. Yeowoon burst into laughter as
he watched the pink squirrel change into a light blue squirrel.
[Party] neutaaaa: Are you sure you bought all the clothes in each
color?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I only bought sky pink, yellow and beige.

[Party] neutaaaa: That’s all they sell.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, this is why I don’t like quick-witted kids….

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: I think Earth Star provided a few bricks


for Illusion Headquarters haha.

You mean you bought your set? Why on earth? If I were going to do
that, I would pull out the hair and face first and then go buy it. While
Yeowoon clicked his tongue, the beauty salon machine ate the Earth
once again. The Earth Star, which wriggled for a while and then
revealed with a bright light, had carp eyes.

[Party] Halloween Branch: 3_3

[Party] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅅBal

As a result of using the eye random change ticket, I was ruined. The
Earth Star, which had become a crucian carp, attempted to change
once again, and this time it returned to its original eyes before
turning into crucian carp eyes.
[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: No, it’s annoying. If you do this, you’ve changed!ㅡ

[Party] neutaaaa: It has changed 360 degrees

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahaha, it’s the same hahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅅBalㅜㅜ

And one last time. The number of times you can change your eye
shape per day is three.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Ah….

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Ah…….

[Party] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

Earth Star, who had turned into a crucian carp again, ran away to
the fashion shop in a huff and appeared wearing pitch black
sunglasses. Moreover, he even had a cigarette butt in his mouth.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Make money quickly;;

[Party] ㅈi9star: They completely messed up the game and


manipulated the oddsㅜ
It was a time when I was laughing at the Earth Star, which longed to
pluck out its cute eyes tomorrow. My eyes turned to a chat that was
different from the party chat. It was a message that arrived from
guild member Motsuena.

[Whispering] Motsuena: What are you doing, Newta?^^ You’re


already at the party, so you can’t be invited.

[Whisper] Motsuena: Shall we prepare for PVP in advance and get it


together? Haha

“…!”

Only then did Yeo-woon realize the identity of what had been
bothering him all day.

Oh right. I scheduled a 2:2 PVP for this Saturday! It seems like I


forgot something…. Yeo-woon, who had scheduled a moving date
on the same day, lost her mind for a moment.

[Whispering] Motsuena: Nyuta?

“ah.”

Even though I was bruised for a while, I couldn’t think of any other
solution. So why are you making such a fuss by including me as a
PVP member when it’s not a fight I’ve won? I muttered in disgust,
but no one listened.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Ah, I’ve seen it now. I’ll be there soon!


[Whispering] Motsuena: When you’re done, please go to the party
first haha. I’ll be eating^^~

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Yes

[Whispering] Motsuena: Haha

This was my first time using PVP content in Illusion. Moreover, since
the opponent is a district that is at the top of the PVP rankings,
practice will be essential. I’m nervous for no reason. Yeowoon
decided to change the chat window setting to ‘Party’ and ask for
understanding from the Poseidon guild members.

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m being told to come out now to practice PVP…
ㅜㅜ

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Really? Haha then you should go.

Still, Yeo-woon was embarrassed that he would just leave


immediately after changing jobs, so he used the emoticon he
learned from a drop in the field today. It was a motion of nodding
one’s head and apologizing. Halloween Branch saw that and
laughed.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Practice hahaha let’s go ㅇㅅㅇ!

[Party] neutaaaa: Don’t you try to match your cat?

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahaha


[Party] ㅈi9Star: Listening! It will be taken care of on the day, right?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I believe in you, cat~

It seemed like there was no solution. I heard people say that the job
compatibility between the two is not that good…. I felt like I had read
something that if done incorrectly, the skills could be messed up and
have a negative impact on each other.

In comparison, the compatibility between Gunner Motsuena and


Yeowoon is said to be quite good. If things continued like this, I was
worried about the planet Earth. Yeo-woon, who had no intention of
winning this fight, was for no reason concerned about the carefree
Poseidon.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahaha this little guy is worried about me….

Of course, I know that I am not at the level of worrying about Earth.


Even if you fight one-on-one right now, you will lose. No matter how
rubbish Earth’s defenses are, the level difference cannot be ignored.
However, when I come in every day and see the carefree Earth Star
who is disassembling the fashion items from the field and digging
around to get a puzzle, I end up feeling frustrated.
[Party] neutaaaa: What are you going to do if you lose like this?

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: If you lose, you’re going to have a


cassock, right?

[Party] neutaaaa: Character shave?

[Party] Halloween Eggplant:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. Who shaves their head because
they lose?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: You can do it haha. Not shaving your head, but
deleting your character!

“…?”

I knew what cassock meant. But I asked because I couldn’t


understand why someone would go to the extent of deleting
something so trivial….

[Party] ㅈi9Star: If I lose, I decide to cassock!!!><

The planet Earth was so bright. I couldn’t figure out what was in the
head.

[Party] Halloween Branch: Earth, please give me all your items and I
will keep them safe.
[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Someone is playing cassock and moving the item
to another place haha I don’t do anything like that.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: I’m not fooled haha

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: And I have no intention of losing.

[Party] Halloween Branch: ㅇ

Yeowoon closed his eyes with a sour expression. No, there was no
mention of character deletion in the first mail I received. Anyway, it
was the same with Little Foret and Illusion. It seemed common in all
games to require cassock bread as a condition when fighting. As
someone who personally witnessed how a tailor he often saw in a
previous game erased his character due to a moment of wrong
judgment, Yeowoon wanted to stop Earth Star right now.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: New Nim New Nim!

[Party] ㅈi9Star: If you’re going to guess for PVP, are you going to
Motsu? Is this what he’s calling?

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Motsuena <<Is this right?

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Be careful


[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m not trying to estrange you, but it’s a nickname
I’ve heard a lot about somewhere, so I was curious.

However, when I searched the bulletin board for the names of all
Strawberry Jam guild members, nothing came up. Since these were
users who were not at the top of the rankings, it seemed like people
were not interested.

[Party] Halloween branch: Tickling switch ON~!

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: The guild that Motsuena was in before was High-
Fructose Corn Syrup, and Wandu is close to Gilma there, right? The
guild members get upset whenever Motsuena is mentioned lol.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I borrowed some items and didn’t return them, and
then he started flirting with me by asking for my personal number in
the street chat room.

[Party] neutaaaa: You said that too

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: When did I ask for your number?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh, don’t change my mindㅡㅡ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: It’s just like that haha. In many ways, he has a
really bad reputation these days, so be careful~

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: It doesn’t have a good review lol Is it as


good as you lol
[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, the jealousy towards me is so cute >_<

[Party] neutaaaa: You look like a pervert….

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: New is jealous of me too haha

[Party] neutaaaa: ㄷㄷ

I searched for the four letters ‘Motsuena’ on the homepage bulletin


board displayed on the left side of the screen, but the results were
the same as the last search. Aside from this guild war-related post,
there were only a few transaction posts. Judging by the way he
speaks, he doesn’t seem to be a very rude user, but I can’t ask this
directly to someone I’m not even close with….

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: If Wandu remembers, he tried to join Poseidon, but


Wandu told him to leave the party right away…I heard Madame
Bugil was also there at that time??

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Only one or two people cut it like that to
remember it haha.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Well hahahaha

Now that I think about it, one of the rumors about the Poseidon
Guild was that the guild interview had become quite difficult. I
remember hearing something similar when I first applied to the
Poseidon Guild.

“Then why did you keep following me? ?”


It was so absurd to hear such a thing from someone I had never
met, and even if I said no, I was angry because I didn’t even listen,
but now I felt like I could answer the reason why I did that. Aren’t we
a little closer now? The way he speaks is also different from the first
time. Yeo-woon gathered courage and decided to ask Earth Star
about a deeper situation.

[Party] neutaaaa: I have a question for you, Earth Star.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅇ?

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m really curious, but when you first met me

[Party] neutaaaa: You killed me suddenly…he

[Party] neutaaaa: Why did you do that to me back then, you fucking
idiot??

ah.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Gradient anger hahahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


As I was talking, the memories of that time came back to me so
vividly that I didn’t even realize it…. Yeowoon calmed down again.

[Party] neutaaaa: 7HㅅHkkiya

[Party] ㅈi9Star: LOL!

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Earth Star changed the character costume she was wearing into dog
ears and a tail. This bitch…. I really wanted to hit him.

[Party] ㅈi9star: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅈㅅㅈㅅ

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: I was drawn to aggro, so I raised the standard for
gil armor….

[Party] neutaaaa: What is it ㅡㅡ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Strange kids infiltrate the guild, ask what kind of
hacks are being used, and then leave the guild.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: They found out my identity after seeing the photo I
posted on Giltalk and came to my SNS account that I didn’t even
know about haha.

[Party] neutaaaa: Wow


[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: If your Instagram gets stolen, it’s over…sob

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: That was the first time I realized that you could find
out where people lived based on telephone poles.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I don’t know anything else, but I saw a threatening
comment posted on a photo taken by a stray cat in the
neighborhood.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I just quietly became inactiveㅡㅡ

Yeo-woon, who had even crossed his arms to see how great the
aggro was, quietly uncrossed his arms. This is because I
remembered that the same content was included in the apology
letter that Captain Poseidon sent me.

‘Recently, there was a person who came into the guild with malicious
intent, recklessly asked for a ride on a bus, and posted defamatory
comments about our guild and its members. ‘We are having a hard
time because of some users who unilaterally find out the personal
information and social media accounts of rankers within the guild,
spread rumors, and even make malicious reports.’

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: But it didn’t seem like there was even
one person. They rushed at me with almost the same intention, so
they stopped recruiting guild members for a while.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: There is no way to deal with this kind of


aggro other than blocking…Because there is not enough reason to
suspend an account due to something that happened within the
guild.
After all, this is a case that should only be dealt with in Sasage, so it
was obvious that if I inquired with the management, I would only get
a copy-pasted response.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: ㅜㅜ It’s a guild event, but if you run with less
people than other guilds, you’ll keep falling behind.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: ㅁㅈㅁㅈ

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Since Gilma blocked all those kids, I


guess there was a limit to using the already created alts, so I kept
digging for new characters. So there is a level limit.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅠㅠ Anyway, I’m sorry for killing you then! I ended
up like that because I spilled my personal information.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Don’t do this lol

[Party] neutaaaa: Yes….

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Is the Earth crying?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: ㅠㅠ I’m not crying

Yeowoon, who only uses social media through messenger, has


decided not to post any photos on the Internet that could reveal her
personal identity. There are often strange people like that.

[Whispering] Motsuena: Nyuta, I finished eating~^^ Where are you?


So fast? Yeowoon checked his watch, opened the party window, and
hovered the mouse cursor over the X symbol.

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m called by Motsuena so I’ll just go to practice.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: ㅂㅂ

‘neutaaaa has left the party.’

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Practice your massage hard!

massage?

“….”

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Yes^^

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahahaha

I didn’t have any intention of winning this game anyway, but every
time I looked at my deal, I heard people say it was really cute and
that the damage was tickling, so I felt like it was pointless. Even if I
couldn’t win, I wanted to hit the Earth Star once.

Just once.
***

When we invited Motsuena to the party and moved to the fighting


arena, the three people who had come and sat down in advance got
up and jumped to welcome the afterglow. Yeowoon also said hello
using a waving hand emoticon.

[Guild] Taalgi: New, did you change jobs?

Taalgi pretended to know how he knew that his weapon had


changed.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Yes haha! I just recently changed jobs.

[Guild] Motsuena: The 3rd quest was very difficult^^

[Guild] neutaaaa: It’s a lot haha. Someone else helped me, so I


figured it out quickly!

[Guild] Motsuena: You can call me….

Motsuena wriggled next to me, using an angry emoticon. Feeling an


uneasy feeling, Yeo-woon slowly stepped to the side and put a gap
between him and my character.

[Guild] neutaaaa: LOL


I had nothing to say so I just laughed. In the meantime, I tried to
open the equipment information of other guild members, but it
seems that the information was blocked, so I couldn’t see the armor
or weapon options. However, I wasn’t curious enough to even ask to
open it, so I gave up. I was just curious to see how far other people
had adjusted their options.

“They block all information.”

The same goes for Earth Star and Kitty Cat. While low-level people
mostly leave the equipment information view open, after the 3rd job
change, most people tend to turn off the information view feature.
Why on earth…. Do you hate having your options revealed? If it
were me, I would go around bragging that I picked a good weapon.
Yeowoon shook his head because he didn’t understand them at all.

[Guild] Give me the card price Cherry: Sir, but I heard that the armor
is not adjusted like this ㅡㅅㅡ

[Guild] Give me the card price Cherry: It’s not an amulet, it’s a mid-
level spirit stone. It’s not a good amulet!!

[Guild] neutaaaa: Oh, is the intermediate spirit stone better?

[Guild] Give me the card price Cherry: Well, I think so! Your
thoughts may be different!

Cherry was walking around nearby holding the same weapon as


Yeowoon. He was a Shadow Warrior who was just about to reach
level 200. Ah, same job as me. Yeo-woon felt close to me alone due
to a sense of kinship. Yeowoon had never done anything in earnest
with his Strawberry Jam guild members, so there were more people
who didn’t know him yet.

[Guild] Motsuena: Since it is 2v2 PVP, I thought it would be good to


practice with the same class as much as possible.

[Guild] Motsuena: There are no Wolfist or Valkyrie in our guild…^^

[Guild] Motsuena: But Wolfist is not well-balanced, so you can win


no matter what you do. It’ll be okay haha

[Guild] Motsuena: Just be careful with the aim hack.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Ah…. The nucleus

That damn nucleus…. If there really is an aim hack, why don’t the
management stop it? After all, you don’t have the ability?

[Guild] Taalgi: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Since the screen will be broadcast, I


might not use the hack that day haha You probably don’t want to eat
the portrait ^^~

[Guild] Give me the card price Cherry: N, please apply. I have


tutoring that nightㅡㅅㅡ I have to play a few games and go out
soonㅠㅠ

[Guild] neutaaaa: Ah yes


Yeowoon got up from where he was sitting and ran to where the
NPCs were gathered. I didn’t know who was who, so I tried talking to
everyone, and it wasn’t until the third time that I was able to find the
right NPC. When I spoke to NPC Cain, a blond-haired man with half
of his top uncovered, Cain spoke in a loud tone and gave me a
choice.

[Cain] Hesitation is the most dangerous thing in battle. Don’t be


afraid of death, adventurer…. ‘How about you apply for war?’

▷1.Practical PVP (multiplayer)

▷2.Practice PVP (Multiple)

They said actual PVP would be reflected in the rankings, so it’s not
actual combat…. It must be practice. Yeowoon clicked the
‘2.Practice’ button.

[Cain] Continuous training with colleagues is a great help in practice.


‘Good choice!’

▷Practice 2-person PVP

▷Practice 4-player PVP

▷Practice 8-player PVP

‘You have chosen practice 2-player PVP. Practice matches are not
reflected in fighting rankings.’
‘Please select a map.’

And there were a total of four options that appeared on the screen.
Jungles, deserts, ruined cities, and fields. Yeo-woon, who didn’t
really know what kind of map it was, hesitated the most at this point
before deciding to ask for help.

[Guild] neutaaaa: What map should I use?

[Guild] Motsuena: Ruined City is fun

[Guild] Taalgi: Field=mountainous area, ruined city=abandoned


underworld, jungle=Amazon Island, desert=pyramid. Similar to the
map. The jungle will be a bit difficult for beginners, so choose
between the desert and the ruined city.

[Guild] Motsuena: Beginner haha New, is this your first time in PVP?
Haha

[Guild] neutaaaa: Yes-_-

[Guild] Give me the card price Cherry: Um…They say the desert
has sand damage, so it stings and is not good ㅡㅅㅡ Take a potion.

After eliminating them one by one, there was only one option left.

‘You have selected the ruined city map.’

‘Go to the ruined city. good luck.’


The BGM changed shortly after the loading window appeared. When
the song changed from a grand fighting song to a lonely
atmosphere, 30 seconds were given at the top, similar to Time
Attack. It seemed like it was preparation time to get buffs or set
potions in the slot window.

[Party] Motsuena: From now on, I will speak in pasang.

[Party] Motsuena: It’s just practice, so don’t feel pressured haha

[Party] neutaaaa: Yes, yes

There wasn’t much to do for 30 seconds. Perhaps because they


were both dealers, Motsuena, a gunner, and Yeoun, a shadow
warrior, were not in jobs that could give each other buffs. Therefore,
after using only a few self-buff skills, Yeowoon also changed the chat
setting from guild to party. If you talk about it in guild chat, even the
two opponents can read the strategy.

[Party] Motsuena: What we have to do is get the timing right.

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m not familiar with the map yet, but I’ll do my
best.

[Party] Motsuena: Haha

[Party] Motsuena: Since victory is determined by adding up the


number of kills, the best way is to avoid dying as much as possible^^
Motsuena fired her gun to both sides and gave advice. Illusion’s PVP
doesn’t seem to end once you kill the opponent. The number of kills
is added up to determine victory or defeat…. Then, there is a
chance of winning without having to die as much as possible.

READY…FIGHT!

After 30 seconds had passed, obstacles and map scaffolding


appeared and time changed. ‘8:00’. Two-player PVP takes 8
minutes. It’s not a time attack dungeon, it’s about doing something in
8 minutes…. Yeo-woon didn’t know what was going on, but he ran
across the map to the right, following Motsuena.

When Motsuena fired the gun once with a flat attack and jumped up,
he saw that the damaged building in front of him was damaged and
a ting sound was heard.

[Party] neutaaaa: The attack doesn’t penetrate obstacles.

[Party] Motsuena: ㅇㅇ

Seeing that my attack was blocked by an obstacle, I had a rough


idea of what to do. You can use obstacles like shields. Skills pouring
in from above cannot be helped, but damage coming from the side
can be prevented.

Taalgi and Card Value Cherry, which were coming from the right,
came into the screen. Taalgi, which flew on a stick like a broom,
jumped upward and flew up, while Cherry, which gave me a card
price, stuck to the ground and ran with terrifying momentum.
‘Windmill!’

At that time, Motsuena, a long-distance dealer, crossed over the


obstacle and used a skill as soon as the two people came into
range. It was a skill that allowed the character to spin around like a
whirlwind and fire bullets left and right. The stamina of the short-
range dealer, Card Value Cherry, has been reduced by more than
half.

‘Fastest Shot!’

A brilliant skill covered the cherry on top of the card price. Not long
after, Cherry fell down on the field and disappeared. Just as I was
confused as to where I had gone, Cherry resurrected from behind
and came sliding towards me, throwing a kick at Yeo-woon’s
character.

‘neutaaaa has passed away. 10 seconds until resurrection….’

As I stared at the screen for 10 seconds waiting for resurrection, it


was no different from a one-on-one fight between Motsuena and
Taalgi. The two people moved around the map without saying a
word, attacking each other.

Cherry must have been embarrassed because she kept getting


knocked back when she approached the Gunner, so after that she
just followed Yeo-woon around. As soon as Yeowoon was
resurrected, he died in less than 10 seconds from the combined
attack of Wizard and Wolfist.

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅇㄴ
Cherry, who gave me a card, inflicted extreme damage every time
Yeo-woon’s health was reduced to a quarter, causing him to die
three times. Even if it was the same job, the level difference was
more than 20, so I had no choice but to remain silent. Furthermore,
when Taalgi, a wizard, used an area skill on the entire map,
Yeowoon’s HP decreased slightly.

‘lose….’

Eight minutes passed in the blink of an eye. The screen turned gray
and the letters LOSE were broken into pieces. Looking at the death
toll, it turns out that he was the one who greatly contributed to this
defeat. Yeowoon smiled and checked the number of kills and deaths.

Motsuena KILL 11 DEATH 2

Taalgi KILL 9 DEATH 3

Give me the card price Cherry KILL 5 DEATH 9

neutaaaa KILL 1 DEATH 12

“…?”

You can only kill me once, but I’ve died twelve times? It was an
unbelievable result. Of course, I killed the card-value cherry that was
in trouble for 8 minutes once and I don’t remember getting any kills
after that, but I couldn’t believe that I only got one kill after adding it
all up. Still, I died twelve times…. It was exactly the feeling I had last
month when I was looking at my credit card bill and wondering if this
was all the money I had spent.

Fuck, what should I do? I’m so weak….

[Guild] Give me the card price Cherry: It’s a bit weird to say this, but
Newta, you’re such a jerk (I’m sorry if what I said offended you…

[Guild] neutaaaa: No, the level difference is too bigㅡㅡ;

[Guild] Taalgi:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
a

[Guild] Motsuena: If you play a few more games, you will improve ^^

So I played a few more rounds. Motsuena encouraged Yeo-woon


that it was okay at first, but gradually lost her ability to speak. And in
the end, he even suggested raising the level by just 10 more. My
pride was hurt. What is this, that one person can’t do even his/her
share?

[Party] Motsuena: Can I help you raise your level?^^

[Party] Motsuena: But it’s a bit difficult to do it only through chat. If


you have a voice environment, how about using a phone call?

[Party] Motsuena: But how old are you?


“…!”

The moment I was about to inadvertently mention my age, I


remembered Earth Star’s advice. The words about being careful with
your personal information, whether you’re asleep or awake,
suddenly came to mind, so I used the backspace key to erase the
numbers I had written in the chat window.

[Party] neutaaaa: 40 years old

[Party] Motsuena: Oh, you’re a little older than I thought.

[Party] neutaaaa: Haha yes

[Party] Motsuena: Then can I call you sister?

What kind of sister is she?

[Party] neutaaaa: That’s a guy lol

[Party] Motsuena: You’re still burdened haha, I understand, sister.

[Party] neutaaaa: It depends…. I can’t show you anything about


this….

[Party] Motsuena: Haha, I can feel my age in the joke, sister.

“….”
From the character customization, I set it as a male character, and I
didn’t even say that it was female, so I couldn’t understand why I
made such a mistake and made it a fait accompli. Are you crazy?

‘neutaaaa has left the party.’

The strange feeling he felt before crawled up his skin, so Yeowoon


just left the party. Motsuena whispered several times asking if I was
a burden to her, but it didn’t really bother me. Anyway, I also need to
raise my level….

“….”

After hesitating for a moment, Yeowoon saw that Earth Star was still
connected and filled in the chat window.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Are you busy?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Busy!

[Couple] neutaaaa: You’re busy….

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅇ!

I thought Earth Star would come running right away when I called
her, saying she was bored, but she rejected me before I could say
anything. Why are you so busy all of a sudden? . I couldn’t help it.
Yeowoon decided to find a hunting party of the same level in the
party matching window.
After that, Earth Star did not say a single word until Yeo-woon ended
the connection. It wasn’t until the next day that I found out why.
What on earth had I done all night? The Earth Star’s fighting
ranking, whose defense and attack power were at the garbage level,
had risen to 3rd place.

***

By Friday evening, there was an uproar, starting from the bulletin


board to Yeowoon’s mailbox. In particular, on the bulletin board,
users were even betting on a PVP match scheduled to be broadcast
tomorrow.

Title: (Hot article right now) Instead of fighting, let’s look at how to
identify nuclear weapons and bet our money on it.

Author: Pantomia/Damian

What difference does it make if you guys fight? Hahaha. All we have
to do is make accurate decisions and report quickly.

There are people who say it’s difficult to identify a nucleus, so I


searched through past posts and came up with a bunch of GIFs. I
think we can all make our own decisions tomorrow after watching
this haha.
1.Speed Hack

(i9star_speed_hack.gif)

Sorry for the picture quality. The quality of the video itself was so
poor that when I made it into a GIF, it became even more broken.ㅠ

If you look at it, it doesn’t even have a boarding item or a speed-


increasing pet, but it only takes 2.5 seconds to go from Zelkova Tree
to Broken Log Tree. Even if you add the maximum speed option to a
full set of armor and use the leap skill, the distance must be at least
4.5 seconds.

2. Aim Hack

(cat cat_aim hack_.gif)

I raised Wolfist in Poseidon and it was made into a GIF. I pulled this
from the data posted by the guy who lost in one-on-one PVP with
this guy.

If you look at the detailed battle reports of typical users, the batting
average is usually 30-40%. Since the skill doesn’t just target one
person and then catch up, it’s true that more than half will be lost.
No matter how close you are, it’s hard to get over 40%. I won’t go
into the maximum distance kills or minor details for now.

(Detailed report.jpg)
If you look at the batting average, do you see that it is 60%?

I’ll say it again, this guy is Wolfist.

3. PVP win rate

Give ㅈi9 stars

I will not attach a separate photo. If you click on the full ranking
bulletin board now, you can check it right away.

A guy who had been going back and forth in rank within 50 rose to
3rd place overnight. In addition, the score gap with 4th place is quite
large, so it seems that it has solidified itself as a stable place. If you
look at the win rate now, will you get the answer? Hahaha. The most
kills in 8 minutes is 30, and he got 30 kills alone in 8 minutes.

I did the math. Since it takes 10 seconds to respawn, 30 kills means


you have survived at least 30 times, right? 30 times 10 is 300
seconds.

So that means it took 5 minutes just to revive. Subtract 5 minutes


from 8 minutes. It is said that he killed the opposing player 30 times
in the remaining 3 minutes. Does that make sense? Hahaha
Seriously, this is a fucking game^^ You can get the answer just by
looking at the numbers, but I don’t know why they didn’t sanction
him sooner haha Shit~

>>>Poseidon hack will be used tomorrow vs not used<<<


Bored guys, go for it and get at least 3000 (3000 bells x 30 million
bells)

+Added three-line summary

1 Poseidon Earth Star and Nyan 5-letter nuke or I’ll cut off my wrist
ㅇㅇ

2 Place a bet and go! Will they use nuclear weapons tomorrow or
not?

3 Those who placed a bet will receive a separate mail.

(315 comments were registered.

-How do I place a bet?

⤷I will anonymously leave a comment and send you a mail.

-No matter how much I don’t want to get suspended, I think I won’t
use it tomorrow haha. Don’t you bet on winning or losing?

⤷Win/Loss betting is up to you.

⤷I think I’m going to use nuclear weapons haha.

-It’s long. Please summarize.


⤷ㄱㄷ I edited it.

-No matter how much you want to win, I think it’s bad to use hacks
in a game where everything is easy,,, Wow, thank you for the 30
likes!! Wow, 50 likes, thank you!! Wow, 100 likes, thank you so
much! Ugh, this is my first time getting this many likes!!!

-ㅈi9Star: I’m sorry, but I already have two wrists, so I don’t need
another one? Haha.

⤷Wow, it’s crazy lol.

⤷Ugh, go out and search.

⤷ㅋㅋㅋㅋ That’s shameless.

⤷Wow, everyone is cursing themselves on the entire bulletin board,


but I respect your mentality in posting comments.

⤷ I’m so scared that I’m going to jump haha. You guys are weird
even if you lose tomorrow, and you’re a loser if you win.

-In the meantime, the gap in the top rankings is widening in real
time…. Don’t they even sleep? It was a battle for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd
place haha.

Among these many comments, not a single one took Poseidon’s


side. Most people were of the opinion that the circumstantial
evidence was too clear, so it seemed like no opposing comments
could be made.
[Guild] Taalgi: Ah, I saw a cat in the guild corridor earlier.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Really??

You haven’t logged in at all for the past few days? After hearing
Taalgi’s words, I opened the friend window and checked, and found
that Cat Nyang Na Nyang was indeed currently online. Although it
did say that I was currently going through a dungeon or on a
different channel.

[Guild] Taalgi: Hahahahahahaha I opened the information and when


I looked at it, the weapon options were really messed up haha.

[Guild] Taalgi: Dealing over 1 million damage with a non-op weapon


like that haha. It has to be a hack.

[Guild] Taalgi: There’s no way Wolfist’s accuracy is that high.

[Guild] Motsuena: That’s good^^ We practiced enough.

[Guild] Motsuena: I think we will win 100% as long as Newnim


manages to escape.^^

[Guild] Motsuena: Right, New?

“….”

It seemed like I had told him ten times not to call me sister because
I was a man. When we talked really seriously, he said he would
understand then, and from then on, Motsuena started calling herself
‘Nyu-sama’. It was a title that other people often used, but it felt
quite uncomfortable coming out of Motsuena’s mouth. This was
because before ‘Newnim’, people would tease me and ask if I could
call them ‘Newna’. Even though the words were the same, there was
a strange difference in connotation.

[Guild] Motsuena: New, do you have anything to say to Earth Star?


^^

[Guild] neutaaaa: Yeah what….

Earth Star was so quiet that it was hard to believe that she was
someone who would usually talk and whisper until she answered.
Out of concern, when asked if I was preparing for PVP, all I could do
was simply reply ‘ㅇ’. A kid who can type quickly and without being
cheap….

The Earth Star lives in the fighting arena 24 hours a day these days,
so even when you talk to it, it takes a long time to respond or even
doesn’t respond at all. As others have pointed out, 2nd and 3rd
place were currently competing fiercely, widening the gap.
Therefore, the difference in scores between 3rd and 4th place in the
overall ranking was as much as 5,000 points.

You’re a ranker with that kind of defense. It was an unbelievable


result, but it was a different feeling to see the name of the planet
Earth among the names of the rankers that appeared in large
numbers on the bulletin board as I passed Isis. He was really crazy
about this game.

[Guild] neutaaaa: They really don’t say anything to me these days.


[Guild] Motsuena: Weren’t we close friends? Haha

Yeowoon closed his eyes for a moment and was lost in thought. It
seems like they seemed friendly to other people. However, there has
never been a time when I formed a separate party with the Poseidon
guild members and went out to play without Earth. I didn’t know how
to explain this strange relationship.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I thought so too, but~

[Guild] neutaaaa: I guess not haha

[Guild] Motsuena: Are you sad?

No way.

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㄴ

[Guild] Motsuena: Haha, I’m the one for you ^^

Yeowoon ignored Motsuena’s words, and he cried again, saying that


Newnim was chewing on his words. But are we really just playing
fighting content all day? I don’t think I forgot that there is PVP
tomorrow…. Yeowoon pondered as he hovered over the name of
Cat Meow Meow, which was displayed online in the friends window.

“….”
I wondered if it would be okay to send a whisper for something as
insignificant as this, but I still had to answer the questions I was
curious about.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Cat

[Whispering] Cat cat cat: ??

Unlike when talking to Earth Star, Cat Meow Meow responded in real
time. Yeo-woon repeatedly erased and re-wrote what he had written,
and it took almost a minute before he was able to say what he
wanted to say.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: You didn’t come in yesterday, right? It’s


nothing special and I don’t think I’ve seen it in my friend’s room lol.

[Whispering] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Ah hahaha yes! I didn’t come


in for about 3 days, but in the early morning, Earth Star briefly did a
proxy check using my ID.

[Whispering] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I went to a retreat at my


school haha. My thigh muscle pain is no joke;;

I knew it…. Then there would be no way that there would have been
a separate strategy meeting with Nyannyangnyangan. I wouldn’t
have had time to practice separately with a kid who hadn’t even
logged in for three days.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: I’m glad you had a good time haha I was just
about to ask you this.
[Whispering] Cat cat cat: Yes, it’s fun.

After playing solo for over a decade, it’s only been a month. I’ve only
been playing games with someone for a month, but it seems like I’ve
gotten used to party play. Yeo-woon, who had been going around
the dungeon alone and collecting fragments to strengthen his
weapon, soon lost interest and took off his headset and leaned back
in his chair.

Park Hwi-beol-rae was right when he said that from the 3rd job
change, it would be a battle for capital. Until the 4th job change, the
level did not rise that easily, so it was common to strengthen
weapons with fragments found after going through the dungeon
every day and repeating the boring routine of going through the
dungeon again.

“I’ll just sleep.”

Aside from being tired, I have to get up early tomorrow because of


moving. Yeo-woon threw the headset that had been removed from
the main unit into a blue box that had been roughly piled up as
moving items, then moved the cursor to the end game button. The
nickname displayed as online in the couple window seemed distant
today.

<Couple>

ON! ㅈi9 Star (Current Location-3ch Isis Battleground)

What does he do all day in the fighting arena? It’s the day before
PVP and we haven’t said anything. Why are you so busy?
***

(Location information has been sent.)

Jeong Se-hyung

Are you really going to buy me sushi??

Seonyong

What time shall we leave, sir?

now

Seonyong

Yes, master, I will wash it soon…There’s no one

Jeong Se-hyung

Master, I’m leaving now.


I didn’t have a lot of luggage, but since I was trying to pack
everything the day before, I could only sleep for about an hour. This
is why people shouldn’t rush into things, but I think it’s wrong to be a
planning person in this life. I just closed my eyes for a moment as I
got into a moving truck and moved to the house I was moving to,
but when I opened them, I realized that I had arrived at my
destination.

“You crazy bastard. Why are you painting today? “Let’s do it


sooner!”

“You said you don’t have time on weekdays? “Then what should I do
today?”

“master. I’m wearing white clothes….”

“I’ll lend you my clothes. Either wear it or not.”

After arranging the furniture in the other rooms and the living room,
Yeowoon pushed the two people into the remaining room. I don’t
know about other things, but it was because I couldn’t stand the
taste of floral wallpaper of the person I lived with before. Even
though the two were grumbling, they started working very hard,
including putting plastic on the floor and masking the window frames.
The sound of loud music filled the whole house. When I saw them
humming to the song, I just laughed. As expected, they were like
people who did well when told, even if they said they didn’t like it.

“Master, these clothes are so dirty. I don’t accept that pink one.”

“It’s for Ha Seon, so ask him about it.”


“Why do you have Seonyong’s clothes?”

“He got drunk early this year and accidentally came to my house
and fell asleep. Then he abandoned me….”

“Give me something else.”

“Other than that, I don’t have any clothes for you? “Take it off and
do it.”

“Master, please don’t do that and give me other clothes.”

Sehyung made an outrageous tantrum. I don’t have any clothes for


you. While I was ignoring the whining and whining that followed me, I
heard the sound of the door next door closing outside. bang! At that
loud sound, Yeowoon looked up from wiping the floor with a mop.

“…?”

what.

“Oh fuck, I’m surprised.”

Why are you closing the door so hard? Sehyung muttered, shaking
his shocked chest. And not long after, the sound of the elevator
arriving was heard. It seemed like the person next door was going
out.

‘Still, it’s next door, should I just go say hello tonight?’


While Yeo-woon was thinking about what to buy, Seon-yong
approached her and asked.

“Yeoun, where are you going to put the computer?”

“Oh, that’s the room, don’t install it yet. I’ll take care of it after the
paint dries and the smell goes away. Have you painted everything?”

“yet. What are you doing?”

“Why are you wiping the dust and unpacking?”

“This sweet honey sucker.”

Those who sold their souls for buying sushi were not the words to
say. By the time the sun shining brightly in the living room turned
red, everything, including the closet, had been cleaned up. I
gathered the things that would go into the painted room in a corner
of the living room, and when I saw the house neatly organized, my
heart was filled with pride.

“hey. When are we going to eat sushi?”

“Fuck, I’m sweating…. Can I wash it?”

Yeowoon, who was looking at his friends with light gray paint all over
their bodies, glanced at the clock on the living room table. I didn’t do
anything, but it was already past 6pm. Yeowoon smiled slightly and
took his wallet. I never told them, but I had planned to do this from
the beginning.
“Okay, then wash up and wait slowly. I’ll go out and buy some sushi.”

“Come buy it? “Aren’t you going to go and eat?”

“You guys are having a hard time.”

I’ll be back soon. To reassure the two, Yeowoon patted their


shoulders and changed their shoes. Oh, it’s hard. The two of them
blinked foolishly and seemed to think that a good thing was a good
thing.

“I’m hungry so come quickly.”

“I’ll wash and wait, master.”

“Yes.”

Guys, I’m going to the PC room.

***

Yeowoon sat down in a nearby PC room after purchasing a ticket


and double-clicked on the illusion icon located on the main screen.
When the loading screen appeared on the large monitor, I was
excited because it felt a little different from the games I usually play.
Should I buy a new monitor too?

‘neutaaaa has joined the game.’

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ㅎㅇㅎㅇ

For some reason, Earth Star, who had not been able to speak
much, let alone understand the past few days, was the first to
welcome Yeo-woon. And the ensuing guild chat raised his words and
buried them.

[Guild] Taalgi: Oh, you’re here.

[Guild] Motsuena: New, I thought you came so late and forgot ^-^

There were only about 30 minutes left until the promised seven
o’clock. Since I wasn’t in a separate guild chat room, there was no
way to contact me, so I was probably nervous.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I’ve been a bit busy cleaning the house haha

[Guild] Motsuena: Do you know that? Today I changed my job to 5-


character Valkyrie haha.

“…?”

who is that Who are the five letters? . …Ah, cat cat cat cat.
[Guild] neutaaaa: ??????

Nonsense. You were a Wolfist just yesterday, but you’ve already


made your 4th job change? It seemed like the cat was all at once
resolving the grudge of not being able to log in for a few days. I
opened the friends window and checked Cat Meow Meow’s level,
and found that it was 5 levels higher than Yeowoon. …Did you stay
up all night? How did you finish all the job change quests in half a
day?

After thinking for a while, Yeowoon decided to ask Earth Star about
the authenticity through couple chat.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Are you a cat?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ?? I’m not a cat, I’m the Earth, right?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Is this really sad? There is something else to be


mistaken about.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Did you really get the 4th job change???

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Ah hahahahahaha I’m doing it again

[Couple] ㅈi9 Star: ㅇㅇ No one helped me change my job, but I


changed my job on my own

[Couple] ㅈi9star: More trash digging ㅠㅠ Save Earth Star~


[Couple] neutaaaa: ㄷㄷ

Actually, if I had changed to Valkyrie today, it would have been


harder to adapt, let alone have time to adjust my weapon. Normally,
performance gets better when you change jobs, but for Valkyrie, it
has been said that the damage is cut in half due to exaggeration.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Then what should we do today?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Hahaha are you worried about me now?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Thank you, but it’s just funny haha

Is this the right time to be this carefree? . I just sighed. It took a


while to delete the character, but do you still have the spirit to play
pranks?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Why are you making a fuss even if I worry about
you?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahaha

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Are you ready?

The Earth Star spoke. preparation? It’s not like I’m ready, but I’ve
raised my level quite a bit and even set the skill cooldown time
properly for linking with Motsuena, so it’s no exaggeration to say I’m
prepared to some extent.
[Couple] neutaaaa: I practiced a few times

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: How are your skills?

[Couple] neutaaaa: I heard Motsuena is the best?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Not him

[Couple] neutaaaa: I…It will still be the same

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahaha

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, it’s fun~! >_<

“really… Are you crazy?”

Do you find joy in cassocks? I couldn’t understand why I was holding


the newborn Valkyrie and playing a game, but she was so lively.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I came to the fighting venue in advance and am


waiting.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: It’s a bit confusing to see you doing it!^^

[Couple] neutaaaa: Can I go too?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahaha


What on earth happened? I’ve never actually seen a Valkyrie in the
field, so I wanted to see it too. Yeowoon left a message in the guild
chat window that he would go first.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I’ll go to that fighting arena first!

[Guild] Motsuena: ㅇㅋㅇㅋ I’ll follow along with the broadcast


settings. New ^^

Oh, by the way, I heard that Motsuena will be broadcasting PVP live
broadcasts on her personal broadcast. It would have been very
annoying to mess with the settings, but it seemed like he was
serious about this game to some extent. Among the gunners I’ve
seen so far, it seemed like he was quite strong.

As Yeowoon moved to 3-channel Isis using the warp capsule, he


could feel the village crowded with people from the entrance to the
auction house. There are quite a lot of people here today. What’s
going on? Yeowoon looked confused and walked into the fighting
arena. Then, for the first time today, the screen started to stutter.

“…?”

what.

Even though it was a computer in a PC room, the screen was cut off
and it was a mess. Numerous people were sitting together, using
skills at random and flying around. As soon as the screen finished
loading, the stuttering disappeared, but it felt like the first time I had
seen so many people gathered in the fighting arena since I started
playing Illusion.

The chat window was also in chaos. Speech balloons were popping
up here and there, and swear words were being poured at Earth
Star and Cat Meow Meow Meow Meow. However, in the meantime,
Cat Meow Meow was calmly trying to use a skill she had just
learned, as if she was recording a skill, and accidentally used an
emoticon.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m here!!

[Couple] neutaaaa: ??I can’t see it because it’s covered

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Ah

The Earth Star jumped up and down in its place. Only then was he
able to see that his head was sticking out from among the people
who were covering him.

[Couple] neutaaaa: 3ㅅ3 lol

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: As soon as I see you, I start a fight…. Because


there was no time to change it?
[Couple] neutaaaa: 3ㅅ3

It was funny to see him still wearing round sunglasses over his carp
eyes. Even so, he was connected every time he came in and didn’t
have time to change his eyes? You have to say something that
makes sense to at least pretend to believe me.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Why didn’t you have time?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Busy! If I’m going to make time today, I need to


raise my score in advance haha.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Ah yes haha

It was an excuse. It’s only three 8-minute PVP rounds, so there’s no


reason to make time.

‘Hooking Star!’

It was then. When Kitty Meow Kitty fired a skill at the scarecrow for
the damage test in the fighting arena, a message window saying
‘MISS!’ appeared along with the spectacular effect of stars flying in
all directions.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Huh….

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha…lol….LOL

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Save the Earthㅠ0ㅠ


“….”

I was so surprised that nothing came out. I even changed jobs, so


why is the damage like that? Has it gotten more serious? What is
that. Yeo-woon looked at Nyangnyangnyangnyang, who had become
such a piece of trash, with sad eyes. It was clearly someone else’s
business, but it didn’t feel like someone else’s business….

[All] Kitty cat cat: Oh, everyone turn it off. I can’t see what’s going on
ㅡㅡ;;;;

[All] MelodyS2: Die! Die, nuclear bastard! Die, nuclear bastard! Die,
nuclear bastard! Die, nuclear bastard! Die, nuclear bastard!

He seemed irritated because there were so many characters


overlapping and their skills weren’t all that common. Meanwhile, a
festival was held in the guild chat area. He had clearly seen with his
own eyes the guild members who had moved to the fighting arena
after hearing Yeowoon’s words and using the cat cat cat skill.

[Guild] Starfruit: Oh my, Dillang is so cute hahahahaha

[Guild] Motsuena: Is it cuter than Newnim Damage?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ?? Are you hitting me for standing still?

[Guild] Motsuena: LOL Please take a look LOL

Yeowoon felt an unknown confidence welling up in him. I didn’t know


what it was before, but now I felt like I could get a better deal than
cat cat cat cat.

[Guild] Taalgi: Hahahahahahaha this is my first time seeing Misty on


the Scarecrow haha I think I’ll win even if I take it easy haha

[Guild] Taalgi: If you use an aim hack and get a missㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If


you’re like me, you’ll kill yourself.

[Guild] Starfruit: If you don’t stop them this time, I’m going to close
that game….

[Guild] Starfruit: ㄹㅇThere is a level of blindness lol.

[Guild] Taalgi: Why are you quitting the game? Even those guys play
games just fine.

[Guild] Starfruit: Haha, I don’t think I’ll fold it just because of the
strawberries haha.

[Guild] Taalgi: Yes bro^^

Yeowoon looked at the clock to estimate the time to return to the


house he moved to. Three 8-minute games starting at 7 o’clock.
They said it would take at least 30 minutes. Then, after the second
game, I thought I could place a pick-up order at a sushi restaurant
nearby and come out and pick it up right away.

‘These days, even if you order delivery, it takes an hour at most, so


it’s okay, right?’
[Server] Motsuena: ♥♥♥Turn on the broadcast^^…The video link is
posted in the main text, so please give it a lot of interest~ ♥♥♥

Motsuena announced through the server microphone that the match


would soon begin. Yeo-woon, who was curious about how the
broadcast would be broadcast, entered the article written by Ta-al-gi
and clicked on the link. When I clicked on the video link he posted, I
started hearing two overlapping game sounds through my
headphones. Moreover, he must have connected a microphone and
said, ‘Welcome. Yes, it’s right here.’ I even heard a man’s voice
saying. Your voice is really loud…. Yeowoon muted the sound of
Motsuena’s broadcast link and looked at the screen.

He was literally broadcasting the game screen. Looking at the guild


chat coming up a little late, it seemed like there was a delay of a few
seconds from actual gameplay. As people currently watching the
video entered chat, their messages began to appear one by one in
the upper right corner of the screen. Motsuena, who was in the guild
room, moved to Isis and entered the fighting arena.

[All] Motsuena: I will apply for party pvp. Are you okay with the first
version of Ruined City?

[All] Cat cat cat: ㅇ

[All] ㅈi9 stars: ㅇ~

[Guild] Taalgi: The answer is in pairs lol.

‘Motsuena invited you to the party. Do you want to accept it?’


Yeowoon received the party invitation he sent. It was a bit confusing
to look at the screen from both sides, so Yeoun took down
Motsuena’s broadcast screen and switched the game to full screen.

[Friend] Cat Meow Cat: Newta, fighting!!

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: Fighting!

[Friend] Wandu Wandya: I heard this is your first time in PVP? Don’t
be nervous haha

[Friend] Halloween Eggplant: ㅍㅇㅌㅍㅇㅌ!

[Friend] neutaaaa: Hahahaha ㄱㅅㄱㅅ

[Couple] ㅈi9Byeol: You’re talking through friend chat without me


again…ㅡㅡ

They were strange people. I can see that they don’t spare words of
encouragement to me, who is in the other party. A notice appeared
saying that Motsuena had completed the PVP application and was
waiting for the other party to register.

‘You have selected the ruined city map.’

‘Go to the ruined city. good luck.’

And after a while, the screen went to loading and went into a waiting
state for 30 seconds. Yeowoon moved the attack power increase
buff and evasion rate increase buff to shortcut keys in the skill
window. From what I learned while playing practice games, using
buffs and potions well and avoiding attacks was the only way to have
a high chance of surviving.

[Party] Motsuena: New, please listen to me seriously.

[Party] neutaaaa: Yes?

[Party] Motsuena: I will confess proudly in front of 200 live viewers.


Sister, will you accept me as a friend after this game is over? lol

“…?”

Without realizing it, my mouth opened wide. I never dreamed that I


would say something like that today.

[Party] Motsuena: Not just as a friend, but as a boyfriend haha It’s


my first time seeing you in this game, so my heart flutters every time
I see you^^

[Party] Motsuena: If I don’t carry it, would you please date me?

“….”

I really, really, really hated it. I wondered how on earth I could get
this incompetent guy to listen to me. I didn’t have much contact with
him, so I couldn’t understand why he was being so friendly with me.
I had heard that there were no female users in the guild, but I
thought maybe this bastard had kicked them out. Should I bring
someone else as a sacrifice instead of myself?

[Party] neutaaaa: Motz, I don’t want to date that guy….

[Party] Motsuena: I heard you’re not married, New.

[Party] neutaaaa: No shit

[Party] Motsuena: Then what about Earth?

[Party] Motsuena: …Could it be that the planet Earth is also a


woman?

[Party] Motsuena: ㄷㄷ…Is the planet pretty?

“….”

I couldn’t figure out what the logic was. If the planet Earth is pretty,
is everything good?

[Party] neutaaaa: ? Earth Star is also a man and we will break up


soon?

[Party] Motsuena: Oh, then you’re breaking up with Earth Star, so


why can’t I?
[Party] neutaaaa: Because I’m a guy too; Haha, I’ll think about it if
you take it off.

[Party] Motsuena: Sister…. You’re torturing me with hope ^^ My


intuition is telling me that New is a woman….

This guy keeps talking more and more nonsense, it’s annoying. You
can’t take a joke as a joke. I felt like I was the strangest person I
had ever met in this game. I thought that after today, I would have to
tell Taalgi that I would be leaving the guild. Also, I should look up
how to block users and block Motsuena altogether.

After the 30-second buff time, the clock was reset. A map of an
abandoned, ruined city was created, and lonely music flowed from
the headset.

[Party] Motsuena: New, please stay down there until I get to the
planet Earth^^

[Party] neutaaaa: Yes….

After playing several games with Motsuena, he seemed to think that


he was helping by just staying still.

[All] ㅈi9 Star: Let’s go to the jungle to meet the ruins and fields. It’s
a fun mapㅇㅅㅇ~

[All] Motsuena: LOL Are you confident you can win in the jungle?

[All] ㅈi9Star: I am confident here too!


Yeowoon and Motsuena’s party started from the bottom right, and
their opponents spawned from the bottom left. As always, Motsuena
moved forward first and fired her gun towards the bottom. It was an
unnecessary attack, but he said it made him look cool. But in Yeo-
woon’s eyes, it was just a waste of bullets.

The crucian-eyed Earth star came within the range of the screen.
He, too, seemed to be jumping up and down like Motsuena and
running ahead of Cat Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow. In the blink
of an eye, the Earth Star came closer to Motsuena.

‘Purple Poison!’

He sprayed poisonous spores at Motsuena and jumped up to run


away. The speed of escaping the attack range was unrivaled, so
there was talk of using a speed hack. However, in reality, the Earth
Star’s effect on Motsuena’s physical strength was close to zero.

He kept trotting nearby and used only the ‘Purple Poison’ skill on
Yeoun and Motsuena in succession. What on earth are you trying to
do? . Yeo-woon looked at him quietly, then used a charging skill
towards Cat Meow Meow, who was following behind.

‘The fury of the earth!’

When he got close to the mobile device and used the skill, the
platform on which he was standing vibrated and black shadows
came out from the ground and attacked him. As soon as it was
confirmed that his HP had been reduced by a quarter, Motsuena
fired her guns in all directions.
‘Windmill!’

Motsuena laughed wickedly and twisted her arms into a windmill


shape. As the bullets were fired up, down, left, and right, the Earth
Star that was nearby tumbled back and went out of range.

‘Spin tornado!’

It was a skill that gathered energy and spun around in place. As it is


a large-range skill, it seemed to reach even where the Earth Star
was standing….

[All] ㅈi9 stars: Hahahahahahaha stupid~ Why are you using tornado
in TV? I don’t think I’ll ever hear it ranked in my life.

The Earth Star easily double-jumped and climbed onto the obstacle,
so it didn’t get hit by any of its skills very easily.

‘Hooking Star!’

At the same time, Nyangnyangnyangnyang raised the bazooka into


the air, and colorful stars danced and flew out in all directions.
However, the amount of recovery Motsuena gained from hitting Kitty
Cat and Suck Meow was greater than the impact he had. His health
dropped below 10% and his health bar turned red.

It was at this time! Yeo-woon joined in and fired a skill at Cat Meow,
and the character’s border became blurred and Cat Meow fell on the
field.
‘Nyannyangnyangnyang passed away. 10 seconds until
resurrection….’

[All] neutaaaa: ㄴㅇㅅ

[All] Cat cat cat: ??? ㅇㅏㄱ I can’t say anything.

[All] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: I can’t believe I got beaten to death by


New;;

[All] ㅈi9Star: Oh, cat cat

[All] ㅈi9Star: That’s right….

[All] neutaaaa: ….

[Party] Motsuena: Just ignore New ^^

Now I can’t believe I’m being ignored even by Valkyrie. Yeoun


laughed and followed Motsuena down below. He chased after the
planet Earth and used skills, but unless it was an extremely wide
range skill, the skills could not reach him.

10 seconds later, Nyangnyangnyangnyang came back to life and ran


towards Motsuena and Yeoun without any hesitation. Are you going
to die like that again? It was the moment when Yeo-woon was about
to use the binding skill on him, subconsciously thinking that he was
being reckless. Earth Star flew in from the other side and used the
skill at the same time as cat cat cat cat.
‘Purple Poison!’

‘Dancing Chain!’

Both skills were poison damage skills. Purple and green poison
surrounded the two people. Both Yeoun and Motsuena were
showing abnormal status icons, and their stamina was gradually
decreasing. But there’s no way I could die like this….

At that time, a long chain came out from inside the bazooka, pulling
Yeoun and Motsuena in and pinning them in one place. The arrow
keys didn’t work and recovery potions were banned, so I couldn’t
recover my stamina.

[All] ㅈi9 stars: Hahahahahahahaha

[All] Ji9 Star: Caught!

Health is being reduced due to poison damage, items and skills are
taboo and cannot be used, and Earth is noisy…. I was completely
out of my mind. I was just staring at the skill seconds while waiting
for the debuff to be lifted, but as soon as the taboo was lifted, Cat
Meow Meat swung the bazooka.

When he hit the two people’s heads, their eyes went into a dizzy
state and a stunning debuff was applied for a very short period of
time. And taking advantage of that gap, the Earth Star struck the
two people with a large spear and put an end to it.

‘Heavenly punishment!’
‘neutaaaa has passed away. 10 seconds until resurrection….’

‘Motsuena-sama has passed away. 10 seconds until resurrection….’

‘Nyannyangnyangnyang passed away. 10 seconds until


resurrection….’

“what?”

Except for Earth Star, the remaining three fell on the field at the
same time. The sight of my health bar being helplessly diminished
by the incredibly perfect combo skill still lingered before my eyes.
Didn’t you say that these people aren’t very compatible with each
other’s jobs? Because of the skill taboo and fainting, there was no
time to try. How on earth did they do it?

[All] ㅈi9 stars: Hahahahahaha

[All] ㅈi9 Stars:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha why are
you dyingㅠㅠ

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I took recoil damage while hitting a
normal hit….

[All] Gi9 Star: Dead Job Valkyrie

[All] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahaha


Come to think of it, I also heard that the Valkyrie skill has recoil
damage. Motsuena became speechless. I must have been watching
the broadcast screen too late, but in the guild chat window, only the
words ‘As expected of a hack haha’ came up one after another.

For the remaining five minutes, Motsuena did not give Yeoun any
instructions, but just went forward on her own and started randomly
licking the cat. Perhaps the previous linkage skill was just a
coincidence, but Earth Star and Cat Cat Meow Cat tried to use
similar methods, but they failed one after another and ended up
dying over and over again.

[Guild] Taalgi: Hmm, how did they get ranked 3rd when they just run
away?

[Guild] Starfruit: Motz, please show me the weapon options later


haha.

[Guild] Starfruit: Surprisingly, I keep getting critical hits.

In the end, the Strawberry Jam Guild narrowly won the first game
with a score of 20 kills to 22 kills. What was surprising, however, was
that Earth Byul alone scored 15 of the 20 kills. I definitely remember
dying a few times, but I never thought I would die this many times,
so it was even more surprising.

[All] MelodyS2: Die! Die, nuclear bastard! Die, nuclear bastard! Die,
nuclear bastard! Die, nuclear bastard! Die, nuclear bastard!

[All] MelodyS2: Die! Die, nuclear bastard! Die, nuclear bastard! Die,
nuclear bastard! Die, nuclear bastard! Die, nuclear bastard!
When they finished one round and came out, there were still many
people waiting for them. There were people who said they came
after watching the broadcast and made double insults, and there
were also people who sarcastically asked if they couldn’t win
because they didn’t use the server micro hack.

The level of swearing was so extreme that I wondered if that was


okay, so I was worried about the mental state of Earth Star and Cat
Meow Meow. I thought I could easily get banned from chatting for
about a week by filing a report. While I was taking a screenshot with
the intention of reporting it instead, the head of Earth Star, which
was standing still, popped up. And what he said to the users while
jumping in the air.

[All] ㅈi9Star: You guys don’t do this!

…He was bragging about the tulips he received as a gift from


Yeowoon. He walked around the map sitting calmly in the shiny
flower petals, and green buds sprouted wherever he passed.

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Why don’t you brag about it
hahahahahaha

[All] Starfruit: ㅁㅊTulip is so pretty

[All] Halloween branches: Are you putting down tulips because there
are a lot of people right now?

[Server] Cool Cat: ★★★★ Buy a rainbow-colored tulip cradle for


200 million!! Cool is possible★★★★
[All] Captain Poseidon: Overview….

[All] ㅈi9 stars: Haha, it’s so fast. This item is the best

No matter what the users who came to swear on purpose say, Earth
Star says, ‘Yes, bark.’ He just kept his attitude and simply boasted
about his flowers.

“What a kid like that….”

It was absurd. His attitude was so calm that he would have to close
his account if he lost one more game.

***

The second edition chose a jungle map at the request of the


Poseidon Guild.

[All] Motsuena: You don’t like it? Don’t we have the choice of map?^^

[All] ㅈi9 stars:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahaha
[All] Motsuena: ㅡㅡ Let’s go to the jungle

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Janggael Gaeseok

…In fact, it was a one-sided request from Earth rather than


Poseidon’s request, and Motsuena only fell for his provocation, but
ultimately chose the jungle.

‘You have selected the jungle map.’

‘Go to the jungle. good luck.’

In the buff room, a song with a more solemn atmosphere flowed


than the ruined city map BGM. It was a musical sound suitable for
dawn in the jungle. Actually, I tried other maps a few times during a
week of practice, but this was my first time playing the jungle map
because I didn’t like it because everyone said it was difficult.

[Party] neutaaaa: If I had known it would be like this, I probably


should have practiced here too.

[Party] Motsuena: Hahaha, you’re not that good at other maps


either.

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅡㅡ

It was absurd. How can your skills improve in one week? Moreover,
Yeowoon doesn’t just play games all day, but all he does is log on
briefly in the evening. There was a clear difference between doing
something with even a little knowledge and being thrown into battle
without knowing anything.

[Party] Motsuena: Hmm!! The jungle map is a bit difficult because


there are many variables.

[Party] Motsuena: The map with the highest loss rate is also a
jungle, so I think it would be easier to run away.

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅇㅎ!

If so, that’s a relief!

[Party] Motsuena: Also, the platform here is a bit higher than other
maps, so if you fall from the top, you’ll suffer damage, right? You
just have to be careful about that.

[Party] neutaaaa: ?Not even a beginner, someone dies from fall


damage

[Party] Motsuena: New haha

[Party] neutaaaa: ?

It’s not a map like Forest of Patience, and taking fall damage on a
regular map is a mistake even a beginner wouldn’t make. After the
buff time passed, the main map appeared. Motsuena jumped up
first.
[Party] Motsuena: Don’t die

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ

Please don’t die. If you just look at the lines, it sounds very romantic.
Yeowoon, who was checking the mini map while thinking nonsense,
suddenly noticed that his stamina was decreasing rapidly and tilted
his head. Before I knew it, the poison debuff was activated on me.
The poisonous fog shooting up from the floor with a screeching
sound covered the lingering air.

“crazy. Why is there sudden poison….”

Yeo-woon, who was muttering to herself without realizing it, looked


around for no reason. Because of my habit of talking to myself, I felt
like I had made a loud noise without realizing it, but fortunately, other
people were either wearing headsets or busy with their own work, so
they didn’t pay any attention to the lingering sound. Yeowoon shyly
turned his head and fixed his eyes on the monitor again.

Anyway, I couldn’t figure out why there were variables other than
user-to-user attacks in the PVP map. Not only that, if you stepped
on certain steps incorrectly, the floor would cave in and fall, and
there were a few ladder vines that were cut off in the middle.

‘Nyannyangnyangnyang passed away. 10 seconds until


resurrection….’

[All] ㅈi9Star: Meow Nyang


[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: No, Mi/Chin failed ㅠ

[All] ㅈi9 stars: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: This is ridiculous. Are there all these
maps?

‘Motsuena-sama has passed away. 10 seconds until resurrection….’

[All] ㅈi9 stars: If you die, be quiet

In an instant, the Earth Star cut off Motsuena’s neck and came
down to stand in front of Yeoun. Strangely enough, even though he
was on the other side, a heart popping effect appeared above his
head and then disappeared, possibly due to the effect of wearing the
coupling ring.

However, Earth Star did not attack Yeo-woon, but stood in front of
her, stayed still for about two seconds, and then floated a speech
bubble above her head.

[All] ㅈi9Star: Please save me haha

“…?”

What…. They said they wouldn’t let me live even if I did that.

Instead of answering, Yeowoon used the skill with the strongest


single damage. However, the shield, one of Nightspear’s job skills,
came into effect at the right time when he used the skill. A
transparent shield protected Earthstar for a moment, and Earthstar
converted its weapon into a movement item and jumped upwards on
Tulip.

Yeo-woon also followed him and immediately tried to finish him off
using another skill, but the Earth Star Tulip planted a bud on Yeo-
woon’s head and landed softly behind him.

‘neutaaaa has passed away. 10 seconds until resurrection….’

“W-what is it?”

Yeowoon’s eyes widened. I’m sure my stamina is close to full health.

[All] ㅈi9 Star: Oh my gosh ㅠ If you had asked me to save you, I


would have lived.

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: If it were me, I would ask you to save
me.

[Party] Motsuena: Just eat it.

Motsuena, who quickly revived and came down, belatedly fired a


gun at Earth Star, but the bullet did not even pass by a single hair of
Earth Star. The Earth Star escaped the attack range like a loach,
jumped on the tulip, and recovered its stamina. And before I knew it,
I joined the resurrected Nyannyangnyangnyang and attacked
Motsuena at the same time.
[All] Motsuena: ㅇㄴ

In the first round, Cat Meow Meow, who had been wandering the
entire time, was showing off her skills for some reason. Although it
was not a common attack method.

Cat Meow Cat used a skill every time the restraint cooldown came
back to prevent Motsuena from escaping or moving, and Earth Star
took advantage of the opportunity to cut Motsuena’s health to the
bottom with a combo. My mouth was wide open at the no-frills
combination.

[Party] Motsuena: Why is the restraint cooldown so short? That’s a


nucleus, right?

[Party] neutaaaa: ?

There’s no way I would know that, right?

[Party] Motsuena: I’m talking to myself;;

Motsuena managed to recover her stamina by using potions every


time she lost stamina.

[All] ㅈi9Star: Please save me too!

[All] Motsuena: ㄲㅈ.~^^

‘Motsuena-sama has passed away. 10 seconds until resurrection….’


[All] ㅈi9Star: I told you to save me….

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: If it were me, I begged for my life.

[Party] Motsuena: Eat and drink

The exact opposite situation was unfolding from the first round.
Motsuena couldn’t even use Valkyrie’s restraint and stun skills, and
could only watch as her stamina was slowly being worn away by the
poison damage and Earth Star skills.

Even Nyangnyangnyangnyang began to use her job skills in a unique


way that had never been seen anywhere else. The Earth Star
targeted Motsuena’s health when it was reduced to less than 10%
and used ‘Pull’ after causing him to faint for a moment.

‘Motsuena-sama has passed away. 10 seconds until resurrection….’

‘Nyannyangnyangnyang passed away. 10 seconds until


resurrection….’

Cat Meow Meow Meow began to enjoy co-committal suicide with


Motsuena using Valkyrie’s passive skill, Pull. It was almost laughable
that they laughed it off, wondering who would die from a fall.

‘Motsuena-sama has passed away. 10 seconds until resurrection….’

‘Nyannyangnyangnyang passed away. 10 seconds until


resurrection….’
[All] neutaaaa: ㄷㄷ….

I can’t even count how many times I’ve died like that. There were no
words to comfort me that I was okay now, so all I could do was
tremble.

[All] Motsuena: No ha….

[All] Motsuena: Play the manners game;

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Are you really talking to me??

[All] Motsuena: It’s really annoying that you want me to die alone.

[All] Cat cat cat: ㄴㄴ

[All] Motsuena: Fuck, really

[All] 9 stars: Sorry, my child tends to get lonely ^^

Motsuena seemed to be getting a bit annoyed as she kept dying


without even using her strength properly. He was more vulnerable to
jungle maps than other maps, and Yeo-woon also disliked jungle
maps because they were difficult. On the other hand, the Earth Star
ran wild like a fish out of water.

I wondered if Cat Meow Meow would play like that, but anyway, I
was able to kill Motsuena more than ten times using fall damage and
job skills.
When there were about 30 seconds left until the end of the battle,
Kitty Cat and Earth Star, who had sent Motsuena to the other world,
approached Yeo Woon. Yeo-woon, whose skills were all on cooldown
as he was supporting metallurgical attacks from behind, had no
choice but to remain stiff. I had no intention of running away anyway,
but Cat Meow Cat chained me and bound me.

[All] ㅈi9Star: Please save me haha

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Try it!

“under….”

Not only did Motsuena and Nyannyangnyangnyang die so many


times, but I also think I killed Nyannyangnyangnyang five times, so
every kill was precious. After thinking for a moment, Yeowoon saw
that there were 10 seconds left and threw his pride to the ground.

[All] neutaaaa: Please save me haha

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: You really say it when you say it.

[All] ㅈi9 stars: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

I was just saying this out of curiosity, but the Earth Star did not
attack Yeo-woon and started running to the location where
Motsuena would be revived.

The screen of the cell phone, which was roughly placed next to the
keyboard, became brighter and a messenger preview window
appeared on the screen.

Jeong Se-hyung

When will the sushi come, master?

Oh right, sushi.

Jeong Se-hyung

Hey, if you’ve been tricked into getting on an ocean fishing boat, tell
me and I’ll go rescue you.

Jeong Se-hyung

I just thought it was cool haha

Seonyong

Please come quickly, please Jeong Se-hyung, I’m hungry so I’m


leaving

Yeowoon picked up his phone to place a pick-up order at a sushi


restaurant he had already checked out. Meanwhile, the screen
made a loud cracking sound and announced the news of their
defeat: LOSE.
[Guild] Motsuena: Ah, because of the really bad
damage^^hahahahaha I’ll just say let’s play the next game in the
ruins.

[Guild] Motsuena: ㅁI Chinseki Ji is not talking about this, why are


you playing the game like that?

Motsuena, who was the main contributor to this defeat, began to


explain in the guild chat that she was unable to demonstrate her
skills due to falling damage. Strawberry Jam’s guild members who
were online, including Taalgi, comforted Motsuena.

After sending the food order to the store, Yeowoon looked up. When
again

[Guild] Motsuena: New, I will really protect you this time.

“….”

sushi…It must be delicious.

Motsuena even tried to show off his bluff and try to appeal to the
nuclear opponent that he could do this to this extent, but he was no
longer paying attention to Yeo-woon.

-Oh fuck, I just took a shower and it’s already over?ㅠㅠ

⤷ㄴㄴ Still in round 2

⤷ Hahahaha hurry up and come in because I’m laughing so hard


right now;

-If you ask me to save you, will you really save me? Haha.

⤷I don’t know hahahahahahahaha

-Why is the firepower so strong? That’s already over 500

⤷Earlier, a fight broke out in the early comments before it started


haha. It’s because of the kids who defend hackers.
-The Night Sphere series is so fucking fantastic…I guess I hit the
cooldown time.

⤷ㄱㄴㄲㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I only admit that one.

⤷It’s been a long time since I’ve seen someone use six skills in
succession and use the stun effect so well haha.

⤷But someone said that earlier, there is also a hack that


manipulates cooldown time.

⤷ㄴI said that from the beginning, but who said that?

-I guess Earth doesn’t use aim hacks? There’s no way I could hear
an aim hack when I’m walking back and forth like crazy…I’m so
dizzy that even the machines are going on strike.

-If you look at the single damage, the damage isn’t that high, but
once the combo goes through, your stamina is almost gone haha.

⤷What’s even funnier is that the Gunner’s skills don’t reach him
hahaha.

⤷ Doesn’t tulip have a notarization effect?

⤷ㄴThere is a possibility because it is not just one or two errors in


the game ㅡㅡ;
-I don’t think it’s a joke if Motsuena gets dealt once, but it’s a
problem because all the planets avoid it haha.

-I want to dissect the gunner weapon options and the nightspear


transfer options haha.

⤷The Gunner is probably covered in fatal damage to his equipment


haha. If he attacks properly, Nasu will inevitably die.

-I’ve given up on reading the game now and just watch it


comfortably haha. The planet is so fucking fast haha. If I do that, I’ll
get motion sickness myself.

-Oh, that’s nuclear right now.

-Do you see the Earth stuttering?

-It’s nuclear lol.

-I’ll take a video later and report it to the group.

-That’s right, nuclear hahahaha.

- Meow meow meow meow commit suicide again hahahahahahaha

⤷He hugged Motsuena again and left.



Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

-Poseidon, what on earth are they…? This is my first time seeing a


Knightspear with such a lack of character and this is my first time
seeing Nongae lol I guess it wasn’t a guild that was too hard to get
into for no reason…I can’t even lift it for the rest of my life

⤷This speed is nuclear, so haha.

⤷It’s not Nongae, it’s Valkyrie^^

⤷The nucleus is tame, so what else lol?

⤷If it’s funny, just laugh and move on. Don’t criticize Poseidon at this
time.

-Valkyrie Can you keep committing suicide like that? What am I


going to do if I lose, my life is such a mess haha.

⤷Yes, your life is not easy either~

⤷ㄴNyan 5 letters himself appearing on the mound?

⤷ㄴㄴI’m reporting this guyㅇㅇ

⤷What happened? It’s not like I die alone haha.


⤷Motsuena looks so fucking angry, but her breathing is so loudㅠㅠ
At least turn off the mic….

-Why are you playing a shotgun? No matter how angry I am, I still
feel like a sub-team leader; haha.

⤷They say they fucking love newbies

⤷If you love someone, that’s possible. How embarrassing it must be


to keep looking around without meaning to do this.

⤷ㄴLove? What is that again? Who is the newbie?

⤷Motsuena asked earlier, would you please marry an English nick?


<< ㅇㅈㄹㄹ

- Newta, he must have really been stagnant water in Little Fore


hahahaha. Now he’s wearing it. Little Fore’s old masters just
dragged it to Illusion and moved it haha.

⤷Because of the Little Foret refugees, there are no cloaks for sale
at the auction house~haha

⤷But actually, you don’t have to have items for saleㅇㅇ In the
illusion, there are items that you don’t wear even if you pay money
to wear them, so it’s a bitch that you have them.

⤷ㄴhahahahahahahahahahahahaha
⤷ㄴ Hey, I heard the refugees in Little Fore were hit hard.

⤷ㄴㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ But it’s even funnier that everyone


stubbornly refuses to give up and wears a cape.

-Ashibal what should I doㅠ Nongae is so funny hahahahahaha

⤷ Hahahahahahahahaha As soon as he was resurrected, he


committed suicide again hahahahaha

⤷But the map is so funny that I’m laughing lol.

-Motsuena keeps sighing. Everyone in the chat is laughing except


for her.

-But I’m really curious, so please don’t drip and just answer like a
real Valkyrie. Is that really happening? Not nuclear, but steamy???

⤷I think it would be a good idea to watch the video when you first
play Valkyrie haha. You bring in multiple monsters and deal a wide
range of damage, so I haven’t thought about using it in pvp….

⤷But there was no one who raised Valkyrie in the first place, so it
was all considered a joke lol.

⤷If you look at the fact that there is not a single Valkyrie in the top
100 rankings, you will get the answer. It’s a bad job. Don’t you see
that it pops up as a drop damage without even using any skills?
That’s all I can do
-Shit, let’s play the manners game hahahahaha

⤷It wasn’t particularly unmannered lol.

-Are you mad at Motz?

-Motsuena uses a shotgun again.

-What the heck is this? I’m laughing while whimpering.

-Is there anyone cheering for Poseidon? I just changed my mind

⤷ I’m not rooting for them, but I’m just watching them with
concentration because they’re funnier.

⤷Me too hahahahahaha Hacking is not a part-time job and they are
so fucking funny; I wish I hadn’t folded it

⤷ㄴ?Mime

⤷Poseidon, welcome~

-This is the first time in my life that I have seen a dog that takes
advantage of fall damage in pvp;

⤷Bacpper After today, the number of people using jungle maps


seems to increase haha. Don’t you think you could use a skill to
push back instead of dragging to make them fall?
⤷ㄴOh~ I commend you for being the king of applications bb

-But the 5-letter character is funny to me too haha. I split it up in an


ex-chat.

-Hahahahahahahahahahaha anyone who heard Motsuena just


swearing

⤷Ha, you hacker Sipal <<<ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

⤷ Hahahahahahahahahaha I’m so upset right now in the middle of


the festival by myself.

-By Earth, he is also quite strong…. It’s because he’s hiding it from
Nongae, but in fact, he loses all his stamina and Nongae is the one
who finishes it. I watched it again….

⤷First of all, the speed is so fucking fast that no damage is taken;


hahahahahahahaha How do you avoid all of that? I thought he was a
ninja

- After watching it for a while, Earth Star doesn’t do a lot of single


damage, but the control seems crazy. I think it must have been
difficult to make Notion on that one, but I’m also curious about its
equipment options.

-Tulips are pretty. Can you sell them???? It’s possible to cool off for
200 million

⤷Ugh, that’s right


⤷Conscience? I have to ask for at least 500 million haha.

-I’m working hard at English, but I don’t need to walk to my death


when all the skills are pouring out of the world haha.

⤷I don’t think I’ve ever played PVP before.

⤷You were tap dancing on the poisonous fog earlier, but I guess this
is your first time on the jungle map itself.

⤷Now every time I see him, I laugh for no reason because of his
bad clothes.

-I’m a fan of Nongae from today. I’m going to play Valkyrie.

-What is the reason for moving around the Earth on a tulip when you
can just use a transporter? What’s in Tulips….

⤷Is there a bug in the boarding item? Previously, there was a 0.5
second temporary invincibility bug when swapping to a weapon, so
the rankers would have been so upset that they would have rushed
for refunds haha. Didn’t that get fixed?

⤷ㅅㅂReally?? GM Lemon bastard, I’m going to kill him right now. If


I had known that, I would have picked the tulips too;

⤷ㄴㄴNo, that’s not it@@@@ I know a sister in Poseidon, so I


heard it earlier, and she said that the Earth is just a fanatic. That’s
why the tulips were planted in the fighting arena on purpose haha
just to show off.
⤷What’s wrong with lemonsㅠ Jugeum

⤷Gulkuna…I’ll bring GM Lemon back to life, lemon.

⤷Lemon is resurrected in 30 seconds by Shinheung Jesus.

⤷Is this a record update? That’s funny, even Jesus took two days.

….

Starts with -3

-Ah, it’s not the jungle this time. It’s a shame I can’t see Nongae in
action.

-ㄹㅇThe jungle map was so funny hahahahahaha

-Oh, Newta cut out five characters!

⤷Wow first killㅊㅊ

⤷You are the hero who inherited the spirit of Little Forest!

⤷I guess I got a critical hit hahahaha I like it hahaha

⤷I guess it’s because he plays the most normal game lol?? I keep
coming back to this and rooting for it. Except for a moment when I
was playing Nongae earlier, I only watch the English nickname….
⤷It’s a killer that he’s a beginner who hasn’t even had plastic
surgery or hair touched lol I think that cape is so newbie-like that it’s
funny…Steamed Little Porechung ㅜ

-? just windmill

-Mime

-Are you avoiding that hahahahaha;;;;;

-Baby~ I’ll try not to show it haha. It’s hard to get on your side.

-Earth’s core seems to be certain;;;;;; Avoiding the windmill is really


overkill hahahaha. It’s not a skill that allows you to avoid damage by
running diagonally haha. And I went over it by avoiding the skill, but
it went up to the top of the temple without even reaching the end of
the platform (just…it’s certified that I’m using a real hack).

⤷That’s right. Jumping over the scaffolding like that without even
reaching for it? That’s ridiculous haha.

-Ugh, if I had died unexpectedly haha.

-Just commit suicide, really.

-I already reported it anyway.

⤷ㄴㄷ
⤷I’m going to put it in after I’m done too haha.

- Even if he wins today, he’ll probably get banned for a few months
because he’s reported by people who saw this. Don’t worry.

-Hey, but wasn’t Gunner a tier 0 PVP job? I know you’re really
strong.

⤷Tier 0, unshakable tier 0

⤷Motsuena, he’s so strong and his control is so bad haha. Watching


the video of the rankers will cleanse your eyes.

-I was curious, so I was looking through the rankers. What is Moon


Fairy in in50? Isn’t Moon Fairy just a buff shuttle? Is pvp possible?
Haha. I wonder if he uses hacks too.

⤷Ah, I know who he is hahaha He has been talking a lot since then~
hahaha For now, let’s get rid of Earth and move on.

-But I don’t think five letters are the nucleus…For a hack, the aim is
poor

⤷I didn’t use it today on purpose. That’s the only thing that matters.
The Earth Star is smart.

⤷If you look at the previous videos, they are omitted.


⤷ㄴㄷI think so haha I also watched the previous videos and I think
it’s because everyone knows Wolfist…The controls themselves are a
bit different from other jobs. Valkyrie route jobs are possible to draw
deals if you can control them properly.

-I’m going to make strawberry jam like that….

⤷If things continue as they are now…Haha, I’m counting the


number of kills, but Poseidon has 5 more kills.

⤷Even if they lose, they are not cassocks, they will lose money

⤷It’s okay even if you lose. Anyway, we decided to fight to leave


video evidence???

-?

-Nongae is the nucleus.

-Mmm, did Valkyrie just kill Fully Motsuenaji by herself?


Hahahahahaha

⤷It’s a hack lol What is the level difference?

⤷But isn’t this an aim hack? It’s different from before

⤷ㄴIt must be different because the job is different haha.


-Animide, even the English nickname makes you laugh at
once?????????

⤷No, don’t kill the newbie, he looks pitiful.

⤷LOL Please save me this time, won’t you? LOL

⤷ㄴThat’s right. That’s right. I should have said please save me.

⤷ㄴIf it were me, I asked you to save meㄷㄷ

⤷ㄴhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

-???? Valkyrie said in her previous chat that she now knows how to
handle it??

⤷Do you believe that?

⤷I figured it out quickly haha. It’s just a bluff.

-Ah wow, wait for Earth Star to revive Motsu and then kill her….

⤷Motsuena is cursing me again.

⤷Sigh again hahahahaha

-Wow, it’s crazy, non-gaejwa job skill development story


-No, Hooking Star wasn’t that skill that was missed by the Scarecrow
earlier? Suddenly, a million deals come out.

-How many skills have a stun function?????? Wow, should I raise a


Valkyrie? Since that is there, the Gunner is struggling and struggling.

-Earth Star must have really risked his life in this hahaha. Motsuena
comes running within 3 seconds every time she is revived…. Motz-
hyung, you’re so crazy, I want to burn the tulips too;

- Should I raise Night Spear too? His hitting skills are no joke.

⤷New jobㅇㅈ^^

⤷The nurse raised by the Earth is not the nurse…. He’s a little…
strange

⤷Kiwooㅇㅇ The scenario is well done and fun.

-Hey, I’m re-posting this because the comments were buried earlier,
so you guys please stop posting. Don’t you know that the five-letter
character’s play of non-gay is all aimed at agitating public opinion?
Are you guys really sane? If you have eyes, open both eyes
properly. Fuck, it’s a fucking hack haha. Even if it’s Earth at the
same level, do you think it’s normal for a 200 Valkyrie to one-kill a
Gunner of about 50 levels?

⤷So that’s what I’m saying hahahahaha. What you’re doing now is
defending the hackers. There’s really nothing they can’t say about
the guys who mess up game balance. The moment you feel close to
those guys, you can see that the instigation has already been
completed.

⤷Hmm, there is no one here who defends it.

⤷You got hit by the Earth Star? Haha why are you so angry ㅜ Calm
down

⤷Your grandfather, calm down and get angry~

- They say please save my English nickname again? Hahahahahaha

⤷When I asked Nongae to save his life, I saw him immediately turn
around.

⤷No, it saves it again hahahahahaha

-Ssssssssssssssssssssssss with her too lol

-Please save me hahahahahaha

-Just looking at it, it looks like Poseidon will win haha.

⤷ㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Motsuena didn’t have a good play sense lol.

⤷Already…. I can get 20 kills alone just by looking at the Earth star.

⤷ㄴ19 kills, the newbie asked me to live again so I didn’t kill him.
⤷ㄴhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

⤷ㄴhahahahahahahahahahahahaha

-No, if you ask me to save you, I won’t kill you, but please save
Motsuena too. Just try it once.

⤷Motsu-hyung, I don’t have time to do that haha. I’m just sighing


because I’m so mad.

⤷ Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

-Neutaaaa and Earth Star are dating.

⤷What?

⤷??????ㄹㅇ?

⤷ㅇㅇ He said something and told me to give my child back


because I would fight him, but in the comment he said haha.

⤷ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ If Earth Star wins, she will take it out of her lover’s
strawberry jam.

⤷Then, what did Motsuena confess to in the first place when talking
about her sister? Newta cheating?

⤷ㄴOh NTR lol


-Oh, it’s over.

-It’s boringㅠㅠ

-I knew it…Strawberry Jam Jim

-Poseidon won.

-But even if you win, don’t you have more to lose? There are a
dozen people who have already reported it.

⤷Love…You got it, right?

⤷Yuck

-When will streaming end? Motsuena is also an open species haha.


Hurry up, you red pepper bastard, and try it again.

⤷I guess I’m too crazy and don’t have time to indulge myself, so I
can’t even chat.

⤷ㄴhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

-ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋ Sister…I’m sorry for losing <<<<

⤷Are you a Newta woman? I’m going to be a guy

⤷ㄴThey say Motsuena is a woman, but she says it depends.


⤷So what????

⤷What are you talking about? Is it a girl?

-??Wow, Newta Motsuena left the guild without replying.

⤷???????

⤷A road trip? Hahahahahahahahahaha

⤷Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk?

-Nyan five letters also appear;

-ㅁㅊThe Earth and the stars also left hahahahahahahahaha

-It looks like all three of them logged out hahahaha I can’t hear you.

⤷ Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

⤷Motsuena, please comfort me

-No, the three of you made a promise to go out together?


Hahahahahahaha

-What should I do? Only Motsuena is left here….


-Is it true that Motsuena’s breathing is trembling?

-Aren’t you crying? Hahahahaha Q.

- Oh, self-indulgence.

-Can’t you watch the video again?

⤷ㅇㅇ

⤷Ahh, I’m going to see rice fields.

⤷ Try refreshing. I’m downloading the video right now because I


don’t know when it will go down.

***

(Notification Talk) We are working hard to pack the food you


ordered! Please pick up after 10 minutes to prevent the food from
getting cold.

“It’s just the right time.”


As soon as the message arrived, Yeowoon quickly stood up. He
pressed the quit shortcut key repeatedly to force quit the game and
immediately got up. The clock on my phone was just past 7:30.

The timing was perfect. If I go home right now, no one will know that
I went to the PC room, you idiots…. I’m hungry so I should pick it up
quickly and go. While he was reviewing the store’s location in his
mind using the map app, someone grabbed Yeo-woon’s shoulder.

“brother! “You left your wallet at your seat.”

“…?”

A boy who looked like he was in middle school placed a wallet in


Yeowoon’s hand. When I saw the young face and plump cheeks, I
thought it was cute, like I was looking at a younger cousin. In my
haste to leave, I seemed to have forgotten that I had left my wallet
on the desk.

“Oh, I forgot my wallet…. Thank you.”

Yeowoon smiled awkwardly and thanked the student. However, the


male student hesitated, biting his lip as if he had something more to
say, then pointed to the back with his finger and started talking
gibberish.

“that, … I came here instead because I lost at Rock, Paper,


Scissors. It’s not that I wanted to do it, but my friends told me to
come back with a high five with my brother.”
The male student started crying and saying things in a fast voice as
if he was rapping and said, “Miss, I’m embarrassed.” I muttered. It
looks like you made a bet, right? Yeowoon chuckled and raised his
hand. As I slowly lifted my hand from my chest, I saw the name
Jeong Min-jae engraved on the student name tag.

‘cute. Was I like that when I was young?’

Yeowoon looked towards the aisle where she was sitting, pressing
her palm against the male student’s hand. I craned my head like a
meerkat and watched my friend carry out the mission, and the
students wearing the same school uniform as the boys giggled about
what was so funny.

The moment Yeo-woon turned around, watching the boy with a


bright red face return to his original position, Yeo-woon gasped and
took a deep breath.

“….”

“….”

When the man who had just gotten up from his seat looked up, his
heart sank. I was a part-time worker at a cafe in front of my house
where I fed cats. The man also stared blankly at Yeo-woon, who
didn’t know how to meet her in a place like this. The PC room part-
timer glanced anxiously at the two people who stood still for a while
and had a snowball fight.

“…under.”
The man frowned as if he was uncomfortable for some reason, and
pulled down the black cap he was holding in his hand. And I left the
PC room ahead of Yeowoon.

‘What is it, at this hour? Did he get fired from the cafe?’

Yeowoon muttered to herself as she followed the man down the


stairs. The man did not leave the building and go straight ahead, but
stopped in place for a moment and glanced back. When I met those
fierce eyes again, my body became stiff for no reason.

‘oh my god. Is money really being taken away today? .’

But I don’t have any cash, so why are you trying to rip me off? Just
as Yeowoon was starting to think about all sorts of things in his
mind, the man nodded.

“go.”

“yes?”

“Go first.”

After saying that, he didn’t move a single step from his spot, and
Yeo-woon looked at him and nodded. Just then, the crosswalk light
changed. Yeowoon ran at a fast pace and began to cross the
crosswalk.

“….”
By the way, he showed up first and he recommended me to go first.
Contrary to his appearance, he seemed like a really kind person!

「Earth: Nyuta-sama, why are you leaving without telling me!! ㅠ0


ㅠ」

The Whole Blue app notification rang for the first time in a while. The
Earth Star fell to the ground and used an emoticon crying.

「Earth: Since you left and I left, Cat said it felt awkward to be alone
so she turned off the game haha.」

「Earth: There is a clamor for you to come in quickly」

It seemed like he was a bit surprised that he had suddenly


disconnected. I’ve been living as a solo player all my life, and then
one day I joined a guild, so I’m not used to it. I thought I should at
least say hello and leave next time.

“I’m out there, so I’m going to go home and try to connect again.”

「Earth: Oh, I’m outside too. Is this fate? LOL >ㅅ<」

「? no”

「Earth: Resolute」

「Earth: But why did you make strawberry jam when you didn’t even
say anything? “I was going to ask them to withdraw after giving so
much attention to them, but it’s a shame.”

“I originally planned to leave the guild separately from PVP….


Motsuena keeps being annoying;;」

「Earth: ㄷㄷ?」

“But I left after telling Taalgi.”

「Earth: I said that because Motsuena was such a weird person.


Haha.」

It certainly seemed like a strange guy. The more you say you’re a
man, the more you say, ‘Seeing as you deny it, you’re a 100%
woman.’ When I remembered that I only believed what I wanted to
believe, I couldn’t help but sigh. If I try to access it again later, I will
have to block it.

「Earth: What should I buy for dinner that evening? Pork cutlet vs.
pork cutlet”

「Let’s starve」

「Earth: I couldn’t even eat lunch because I was fighting all day. ㅜ
ㅜ?」

「Let’s starve」

「Earth: Ah, the snack bar is closed. I guess I’ll just buy ramen.」
“Why did you ask? LOL”

Yeowoon, who was laughing while looking at his phone, looked up


when he heard the sound of a packaging bag rustling.

“How many chopsticks do you need?”

“Oh, you don’t have to give it to me. I’m going to go home and eat.”

“Yes, enjoy your meal.”

“thank you.”

After returning the disposable items in the sushi bag to the store,
Yeowoon went out into the night again. Now, if I walked at a brisk
pace, it would take about 5 minutes to get home. After crossing the
crosswalk again, Yeo-woon found a man in familiar clothes coming
out of a nearby supermarket again.

“…!”

I never thought I would meet him here again. I almost screamed out
of joy, but since we weren’t close friends, I just decided to keep my
mouth shut. Yeowoon began to follow the man’s walking steps.
Seeing that they were going in the same direction, it seemed like the
man was also heading towards the cafe. Fortunately, it wasn’t cut
off, and it seems like it was only a brief ding. The sound of two
people’s footsteps echoed in the dark alley.
The unusually tall man was walking, dragging his black slippers,
wondering why he was so tired. The end of the limp shopping cart
was torn long, and yellow lemons rolled out through the gap.

“…?”

Tap, tap, tap….

A lemon rolled down every ten steps.

Could it be that they did this on purpose? How could you not know
that? Yeowoon, who stood there for a moment and blinked, slowly
followed behind him, bent down and carefully picked up the lemons.

“…what?”

Hansel and Gretel? Yeowoon muttered as she held the six lemons
that the man had spilled in her arms. As I turned the corner, a
familiar cafe came into view in the distance. The Cafe Earth sign at
night looked particularly emotional. Seeing the lights on until this
time made me think that it was a good idea to move in. There’s a
place that sells health potions right in front of my house!

“uh….”

The man who was walking along the street suddenly slowed down
and looked back. When Yeowoon made eye contact with him, he
slightly raised his free hand and smiled. Then, with the intention of
returning the lemon that the man had spilled, he started walking a
little faster. Then his face suddenly turned pale and he took a step
back, and Jongnae turned around and started running.

The man ran, swinging his shopping cart in all directions. I couldn’t
figure out why I was walking so fast while dragging my flimsy
slippers. And why are you yelling like that? Yeowoon carefully held
the sushi so it wouldn’t shake and ran after him.

Instead of entering the cafe, the man ran away into the building
where Yeowoon had just moved. Yeowoon shouted loudly into the
back of his head.

“Hey, you spilled something!”

“Ahh!”

“Let’s go together!”

“Aaaah!”

However, the lingering feeling that came in late could only see a
hand hitting the close button through the crack of the elevator door.

“What, let’s go together… .”

A feeling of disappointment came over me. Why did you run? Did
you need to go to the bathroom? Yeowoon tilted his head and
watched blankly as the elevator went up.
“…!”

The elevator went up endlessly and arrived at the 9th floor, the top
floor. Unlike the other floors, which have four households per floor,
the 9th floor is Yeo-woon’s house and the house next door. There
were only two households like that.

“You really live here?”

How could this be a coincidence?

It seemed like he was the man who lived next door to me.

***

“Jeong Se-hyung, what are you doing over there?”

As soon as I opened the door, I saw Sehyung standing stiffly like a


scarecrow in front of the bathroom with one leg raised. Seonyong
glanced back at him and shook his head in response.

“They say you got screwed while waiting.”

“Fuck you. Take this.”


“Ah, what is this…. Wow, did you buy udon too?”

“huh. Did I do well?”

“You’re the best, I love you master. But what about lemons?”

“I’ll go out for a moment. You have to give that to the next door
neighbor.”

“… That?”

“It’s not a moving gift. The person next door spilled it.”

Yeo-woon handed over all the packed food to Seon-yong and went
out the door again. When I went to the next door with the door half
open and rang the doorbell, I heard a call from the front door, and
then the door opened with the sound of the door lock opening.

“hello!”

“Ahh!”

As soon as the man’s face appeared through the open door, Yeo-
woon put his foot through the door. If I didn’t do this, I felt like I
would be shut out. The man was so shocked that he even hit his
buttocks. It was funny because I remembered how surprised I was
when I fell like this the first time. The man got angry, pointing a point
in Yeo-woon’s face.
“Everyone, I’m going to report you for breaking into my house! “I
installed CCTV in the hallway too, because of you!”

“Home invasion?”

“…okay!”

“I haven’t gone in yet.”

Hearing the calm, lingering words, the man furrowed his dark
eyebrows and then seemed to understand. Yeo-woon, who had
nothing to say but was just looking at the wheezing lips, opened the
door a little more. Then, he squatted down in the hallway to the eye
level of the fallen man. The man glared at that lingering emotion and
asked.

“… Is that you?”

“yes?”

“You’re the one who sent my report card to my house, right?”

What report card?

“Ha, I got scolded by my mom and all my cards were taken away
because of that? Really annoying. How did you get my transcript
and how did you know my address? “Do you really go to the same
school as me?”
It seemed like he was a college student because he was talking
about grades. Of course, he and I are from the same world, but
Yeo-woon, who didn’t even know the man lived here, shook her head
and denied what he said. But the man next door looked at the
lingering sight and sighed openly.

“Why do you keep following me? “Let me at least hear the reason.”

“I’ve never followed you around….”

“You’ve been following me since the PC room earlier, you! What do


you want from me? money? interest? “If you’re interested, go
somewhere else and look for it. If it’s money, I’ll give it to you, so
take it and don’t come back again.”

The harsh tone and fierce impression made the lingering feeling
grow smaller and smaller as I listened to him. For some reason,
whenever I stand in front of a man, my heart keeps getting smaller
and smaller. Maybe it’s because of first impressions.

“… I moved in next door.”

“what?”

“Room 902. I just moved in.”

“…what?”

“Earlier, you spilled a lemon on the street and went to pick it up….”
Yeowoon dropped the six lemons she was holding in front of the
man. The yellow berries that were lying on the shoe shelf rolled and
rolled all the way to the man’s feet. The man’s mouth opened
slightly. Unable to hide his embarrassment, he blinked wildly and
asked urgently.

“I spilled this on the street?”

“yes.”

“Well, then what did you see at the cafe before?”

“I came here for an interview because all the other cafes around
here were full.”

“The reason I live here…?”

“I didn’t know?”

“…Do not be ridiculous. This is all a coincidence?”

“Then it must be fate?”

Yeowoon followed the man’s tone and shrugged his shoulders


sarcastically.

“The reason you ran away screaming earlier was because you
thought I was following you with malice?”
The man’s ears were bright red, illuminated by the orange auxiliary
light. I wasn’t sure if it was because of the lighting or because I was
shy.

“When will I?”

“….”

“I didn’t scream. Just go! “I’m busy because I have to play that
game.”

“A game? what game?”

The man who had been staring at Yeowoon for a while burst out
laughing. Then he stroked his hair and muttered in an annoyed tone.

“hey.”

“yes?”

“Either I play Tetris, Minesweeper, or fuck it. What does that have to
do with you? There is a degree to being foolish, why are you making
such a fuss by asking such questions? It’s so strange that he
suddenly moved in next door, but are you really interested in me?
“Are you gay?”

The man overreacted. I could tell by seeing that there was a game
that felt different behind all the normal games. Miyeonsi…You’re
doing it…. I guess it would be a bit embarrassing to say something
like that to someone I’m not close with yet.
“You can ask, you’re very sensitive….”

“You really didn’t say a word.”

“Anyway, we’re next door, so let’s get along without blushing. And I
really don’t know about the report card. I guess you can’t study?”

“…hey.”

At that time, a loud voice came from Yeowoon’s house.

“Master, blow all the udon noodles!”

“Master, it’s so delicious!”

It seemed like the story was getting too long when I only wanted to
give them lemons. The man glanced toward Yeowoon’s house,
smiled, and grabbed the doorknob.

“I’m truly sorry if it’s a misunderstanding, but please don’t follow me


darkly from behind. You might as well at least pretend to know first.
It really surprises people.”

“…?”

Even though you’re being so rude, does that mean it’s okay to say
hello? Actually, it’s ridiculous for neighbors to spend time without
even saying hello to each other.
“Then have a good time with the slaves.”

The door slammed shut with a mocking voice. The wind blew against
Yeowoon’s face, splitting the bangs covering his forehead in half.

what? slave…?

“Did you return the lemon?”

Slave 1 asked, mumbling his mouth.

“What about the guy next door? “Isn’t it cheesy?”

The guy next door? More than you can imagine….

“I thought he looked really handsome up close.”

“…what?”

“I thought you were scared, but I guess you’re just shy.”

“…Lee Yeo-un again.”

What am I doing?

“As you said, his personality was a bit harsh.”


“a little? A little? Man, that’s cheesy!”

“I think you might be a little shy.”

“Lee Yeowoon!”

“Do you think things will change if we become friends? He looked a


little young, but he was very talkative. I did something that was
misunderstood, too.”

“No, Yeowoon. Think carefully. What if you get stabbed with a knife?
I heard that glaring at people was really unusual. uh?”

That’s a bit of cuteness, well…. Yeo-un took out new chopsticks and
listened to the slaves’ advice with one ear and let it go with the
other. The sushi was just perfect, from the cookedness of the rice
grains to the freshness of the fish. Yeowoon decided to become a
regular at this store from today.

-Don’t post the same article all over the place.

-The defenders changed their strategy haha It’s okay to pretend to


ask questions and put up a shield.

-I wrote it. I don’t understand why this is a fight.

⤷So don’t just insist, show me the evidence haha. It’s a guild I don’t
even know much about, so I feel sorry for them. Are they going to
plaster the entire bulletin board with this?

⤷ㄴI feel sorry for you? Haha, you’re a dick.


⤷ㄴThere was a balance issue with the game and they even took a
video???? So, where do you say we should talk about this in bed?
Should we do this at your fucking house?

-You little bastards are itching to fight lol I’ll just sort it out for you. I
know this because I got banned while using a hack, but when I run
the program, the movement doesn’t keep up like that. If you swap
weapons > tulips > weapons, the settings are released and reset;
Needs to be reset

⤷?

⤷??

⤷No, not a macro, you idiot.

⤷ㄴI’ve used both, but you can’t tell the difference between a hack
and a macro, you idiot? Well, I’m currently making a lot of money by
running a workshop using automatic hunting macros. Illusion God

⤷Hey, this guy is real

⤷Aren’t you going to get suspended?

⤷If you go to Arcadia, there are only macro insects on the floor.
Haha, but if you wear a macro and feed them, you can catch a lot of
them. Even if you just attach a screenshot, if you send a message
next week, it will say that you are a suspended user.
Title: Illusion Game Game: Didn’t they collude with nuclear users?

Posted by: (Anonymous)

The same goes for macros, and those who make launchers don’t
play games as a hobby. I understand that you are making money by
cashing it out in earnest….

My older brother, who I know (graduated from a science high school,


entered Hankuk University’s College of Engineering at the top of his
class, major is a secret), took a leave of absence from school, wrote
macros, monitored them all day, and made a lot of money. From
what I heard from him, the work teams are divided into various
parts. I heard there are people in charge of it, but I don’t know if it’s
true because I haven’t seen it, but it’s probably true. He won’t lie.

So, I think they paid money to Illusion to professionally cash out the
bell. I know that the team is very big because they have joined
hands with the Chinese side, but according to you, the company isn’t
that big either?

- Hahahaha collusion hahahahaha it was funny.

-I think there is a possibility? The game next door was all over the
news because some idiot was caught leaking confidential files at will.
What can’t you do if you pay money?
-Illusion isn’t a fucking game, it’s some sort of collusion hahaha Even
if you were reincarnated three times, you wouldn’t be able to join this
place.

⤷I believe there is a possibility of collusion…There is no evidence of


collusion.

⤷What kind of bullshit are you talking about? Is there any evidence
of collusion? You’re raising conspiracy theories with your head full of
shit.

⤷You have a heart condition;; Just by searching the posts, there are
a lot of suspicious posts. Proof that I’m not the only one who thought
that way.

⤷Sharing nationality with these guys sucks.

⤷he is japanese.

-But is it possible to steal macro items?

⤷You can’t use magnetic pets. They’re making money with that, so
is that okay…? .

⤷Isn’t there a delay in magnetic pet rooting?

⤷ㄴNone

-Illusion security is melting away haha.


Title: There is one more thing to explain besides the Isok hack and
the Aim hack.

Posted by: (Anonymous)

I’m looking at the video nano by nanosecond.

(asdf.gif)

No, why is the picture quality so bad? Anyway, if you use the potion,
you will see a pink aurora effect appear on the body border.

Look at the skill cooldown above.

(Item description.jpg)

It’s a stamina potion, but can you see that it’s being used every
second, ignoring the cooldown?

(11 comments were registered.)

-LOL How can waves and waves only be ghost stories?

-thief??

-What do you mean, ignoring the item cooldown and using potions?

⤷ㅇㅇ
-No, this is…ㄷ I think the operator needs to explain…This is going
to get really big

Title: I apologize….

Written by: ㅈi9Star/Nightspear

Hello, I am ㅈi9 Star, currently ranked 2nd on the Athens server. (I


just ranked 2nd haha)
The reason I am writing this serious post today is because I want to
apologize to you and clear up any misunderstandings….

1. Explanation of last year’s events

I have been working hard on the game for a while, and in the second
half of last year, Season 3, I finished in ★1st place★ in the final
rankings. (Hahaha!!) This is an explanation for what happened at
that time.

(Screenshot_001929381.jpg)

This is the number that came out when the scarecrow was hit
randomly at the time. I drew at least twice the amount of damage as
other Night Sphere users, and I apologize for unintentionally creating
a sense of discomfort to users….

But I still feel wronged…I just used the skills I was told to use, but
what do I do when I always get critical hits and high damage??
Luckily, the other people at that time were too weak to be my
opponent.

We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the Janchaengs


who helped us win first place once again!

Get me! (- -)(_ _)(- -)(_ _)

2. Public disclosure

Introducing my equipment>_<♥
(1_Defense equipment_jpg)

(1_Spirit stone, accessories_jpg)

(1_weapon.jpg)

(1_fashion item_jpg)

This is as of the second half of last year. I mainly focused on critical


probability, notarization, and defense. I completely believed in the
article that said Nightspear training was the norm…. If the attack is
heavy, why play the game? I used it for a while because none of the
transfer options were available, but it was so frustrating that I took it
all out and put it in the warehouse^^; (Not for sale!)

(2_Defense equipment.jpg)

(2_Spirit stone, accessories.jpg)

(2_weapon.jpg)

(2_Fashion item.jpg)

>This is the equipment I’m wearing right now. For almost two to
three months, I was desperately trying to obtain only the highest
quality fragments, mainly to add evasion rate, movement speed, and
attack speed options. I think I’ve broken the weapon almost a
hundred times…. I almost quit the game ㅠㅠ…!!
3. Today’s PVP video recording

[Go to video]

The recorded video size is large, so it will be replaced with an


external link. Because it is an unedited version, the chat window is a
bit complicated. (I will repay those who have whispered concerns
about home education.) And no hacks have been used. What is a
hack??ㅠㅠ I can handle it well without it….

For those who are displeased due to lack of understanding even


after seeing the order of skill use in the video, and for those with
presbyopia, we are revealing the commonly used combo route. (Max
level Knight Spear/Claw of Punishment 15/Taunt 10/Legendary
speed 50/Movement speed increased by 70% Mounting item/Sea
Spirit Stone cooldown option max/All equipment attack speed based
on 9LV)

(33_organized.jpg)

The main idea is to take advantage of the delay in using skills when
knocked back. At this time, when the opponent’s eyes start to spin
due to the head spin, you must immediately press F2 to use the
next skill. If you are even 0.1 seconds late, the stun is released and
you get hit.

(Shortcut key summary.jpg)

4. But it wasn’t just me who was at fault.


[Go to video]

This is cat cat cat’s pvp play screen.

Today, you transferred to Valkyrie and showed your tearful spirit of


sacrifice even though you are not yet familiar with the playstyle. For
your information, you don’t even know what a nuclear weapon is?
do. The route for using your skills isn’t mine, and I’m too lazy to
organize it…Please just watch the video.

Below are the equipment options. He asked me to take into account


the fact that I just changed jobs today and haven’t changed all my
equipment yet.

(3_Defense equipment.jpg)

(3_Spirit stone, accessories.jpg)

(3_weapon.jpg)

(3_fashion item.jpg)

ㄷㄷ Except for the accessories, it’s a complete messㅜㅜ! In fact, if


you use a nuclear weapon, wouldn’t it be you who uses it, not me,
who has fully equipped all equipment?

Bad cat…If you’re going to beat me, beat him too, not me.

5. Clarification of potion cooldown


The cooldown time of the potion is slow, so I quickly melted after
throwing away my defense to use movement speed. (ㅜㅜ)

(Warehouse Can Inventory.jpg)

So, I adopted the Royal Draw as a secondary potion! It’s 10%


recovery, so while the potion is on cooldown, you can use the draw
item to increase your stamina!

6. Current ranking explanation

? There is nothing to explain. They say I crammed while sleeping


three hours a day?

Even if you’re wondering why you always fight, reach max level. Is
there anything left to do after completing the skill legend work?
Fighting is the end content, so this is all I’ll be doing by the end of
the season. If you gave me more things to do, I wouldn’t live like
this;

And looking at popular posts, they say that I have the record of
getting the most kills (30) hahahahahahaha If you become the top
player in 4-player PVP and kill everything by yourself, you can get 30
kills in 8 minutes. Did you think I would only play one-player PVP?
Aren’t you really stupid? Haha

7. A sincere apology

Sorry><!
***

**

(gajjaotalk_238192.jpg)

I am still reflecting a lot. As proof, I show you the tissue I wiped my


tears with….

It wasn’t my intention, but to many people who are displeased with


me being ranked…I have a lot of capital and will continue to play
illusions, so I just want to tell you to quit the game!!

From now on, I will work harder to show you the weakened state of
Earth!!!!

-????

-omg

-Well, I’ll read it first.

-Is this guy a fool?????????????


-It was a fucking fishing post, but I thought it was really an apology.

-What’s wrong with the number of views? Hahaha. The title is aggro.

-ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why are there so many royal draws? Isn’t it worth


almost 500,000 won?

-Write it by hand.

⤷ㅈi9star: Ninaㅋㅋ

-What? It’s not an apology. Write it again. Who would make a joke
like this with an apology?

⤷ㅈi9Star: Oh my heart

⤷I have no credibility at all because of my insincere attitude??

⤷ Kitty Nyang Na Nyang: They say Sanrae Saengjae is releasing an


app?

⤷Wandu Wandya: Haha, it’s a free bulletin board, so why do you


interfere no matter what someone writes? Every time you idiots talk
nonsense, give them a big slap^^

⤷Halloween eggplant: I can’t help but wonder the options~


-Even if you don’t look at the guys’ guild above, you’re Poseidon,
right? Reinforcements have arrived haha.

⤷al0ha: Then, are you going to hit the shields of our guild members,
or those of complete strangers? I’m being accused of this nonsense,
but it’s a hundred times better to be accused of being a shield fan
than not applying and keeping my mouth shut^^

-Do you recover your stamina if you play the Royal Draw? I didn’t
know….

⤷ㅇㅇ…. But who would stock up on a thousand lottery tickets and


use them instead of potions?;;

⤷ That’s funny. Then, during PvP, if a high-ranking item suddenly


comes out and shouts in the server, haha, the person you were
fighting with will wonder something.

-Are all the edges of the equipment purple? How is it like that

⤷Is it good if it’s purple?

⤷ㅇㅇ…. I usually hear that even if the weapon is purple, it matches


well.

⤷Equipment has to be replaced from time to time, so there is no


case where all parts are fitted. What did that guy do?

-There was a reason for not revealing the equipment window lol.
-what? Someone told me not to use the Deep Sea Dragon King
Spear, but why do I use the Dragon King item on Earth Star?

⤷ㅁㄹ In fact, I don’t understand the idea of adding options to


equipment.

⤷I guess it’s good. I’m suddenly in a mood, so I’m going to make


seafood stew right now.

⤷I’m on channel 1 right now and all of Night Spear is in the deep
sea dungeon hahahahaha

⤷Kkkkkkk Dragon King, I’m going to have a blood clot….

-No, if all the moves are level 9 in all 3 ops…How much money did
you spend doing that? .;

-This bastard bowed twice while asking me to accept it.

⤷Fuck you bastard

⤷Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha ah ㅜ

⤷He suddenly passed away…ㅠ

⤷Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

-Is your attack speed good?


⤷Even if you use the skill at the same timing, the one with the
higher attack speed attacks first.

⤷ㅇㅎSo I guess the timing was faster than the Gunner.

-Somehow the deal gap came up; I gave up my defense and took a
big hit hahaha are you a fool? It’s so fucking polar opposites. For
some reason, when a critical hit occurs, the damage is almost
double that of Motsuena. What happens if you make it public? How
do you copy that lol?

⤷No, it’s not because of the big hit. There is a Nas attribute skill
called Punishment Claws, and this is an attribute that adds luck to
attacks. So, if you do well, you can get up to 500% damage haha.
But the Nas skill tree is mainly focused on single defense and attack,
so no one takes that…. This is the first time I’ve seen a Night Spear
that was made with skill points.

⤷To get that kind of wealth in a short period of time, you would have
to spend at least a few hundred dollars.

- Hahahahahahahaha this place is all just a game window.

⤷Game Chang to Game Chang

⤷Losing haha

⤷What’s the difference between going to a garbage dump and


saying there’s nothing but garbage here?
⤷ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

⤷ㄴhahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

-Then how do you explain avoiding the Gunner skill??

⤷ㅈi9Star: I don’t know! I heard that if you give the maximum


movement option and run away, you can avoid it, right?

⤷Someone try it

⤷ㄴWhat should I do…I don’t have any items.

⤷ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅠㅠ

-Sell me some equipment

….

-I’m crazy about the options for the items stored in the warehouse.
Wow, even if I sell that for cash, I’ll make 5,000 in no time; It’s more
than my annual salary…Why on earth don’t you use that and risk
your life to reach max level at this speed?

⤷I guess that’s why it took first place in the rankings last year.

⤷At that time, it was said that Nas would not melt even if he was
defeated, right? Is that the planet Earth?
⤷ㄴㅇㅇ

-Meanwhile, the gap between 2nd and 3rd places is widening…. Is


tomorrow the end of the season?

-Then will a new Nightspear speed tree be released? John-Burr

⤷The only person using a speed tree is Earth Star, so who uses the
strategy?

⤷Earth Star

-Still, I’m thankful to the Strawberry Jam Guild. It was a good fight.

⤷There’s a kid there with nothing but scars, and he looks like he’s
crying.

⤷ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Go comfort Motsuena.

-Where have all the kids who beat me up for using nuclear weapons
gone?

⤷In another article, we are gathering together to calculate options


and deal coefficients.

⤷ It’s so funny hahaha I lost an entire hour by excluding pets and


accessories and am counting it again.
-What happened to the suspicion of collusion between Illusion and
Poseidon? Seems like an explanation is needed

⤷ Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

⤷The collusion insect is still not sleeping.

⤷Yes, grandfather~

-But it seems like it’s a bug when it’s applied in Royal Draw PVP?
Last season, the loot items couldn’t be used in the dungeon.

⤷Bug god game^^ㅗ

⤷So hahahaha it will be patched

⤷Mangame

⤷What will I do once it’s patched? I already maxed it out.

-Hey, when the CS team goes to work tomorrow, they’ll be so busy


handling inquiries hahaha.

⤷How many of the same inquiries are there lol?

⤷ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I think there will be a macro answer.


#03.
Hey

A noisy and busy week has passed. Earth Star, who had been too
busy engrossed in fighting content for a while to reply, returned to
her usual self, and the only thing that changed was that the guild
sign above Yeowoon’s head had disappeared.

‘By the way, I’m so sleepy….’

Nosy Assistant Manager Kim suddenly appeared behind Yeo-woon,


who was sitting in front of his desk blankly, unable to concentrate.

“Mr. Yeowoon, are you okay? “He was also chomping at lunch
earlier.”

“…!”

Yeowoon quickly straightened his back and smiled awkwardly.

“ah. yes it’s okay. If you get off work today and get some rest at
home, you’ll get better soon.”

“What did I do over the weekend that I caught a cold?”


“I’m just moving into my own room….”

I spent most of the day with the windows open to ventilate the newly
painted room. Perhaps because of that, after the weekend, Yeo-
woon caught a mild cold.

“Well, I heard Minchae also has a cold.”

“Ah, yes!”

At those words, Yeo-woon’s fellow employee who was sitting


diagonally raised his glasses and slowly stood up. Just two weeks
after joining the company, Assistant Manager Kim chuckled and
muttered at the sight of the employees in full discipline.

“Maybe because it’s the season change, there are a lot of people
with colds. Is this a company or a general ward? “Just don’t move
it.”

“… Yes, sorry.”

“Why are you sorry, Yeowoon? “I have a lot to be sorry for.”

“I’m sorry too….”

Two cold patients exchanged glances. Assistant Manager Kim, who


had a subtly sarcastic tone of voice, was the type of guy who would
always say one thing even if he didn’t answer. That’s because
something like that was caught as a shooter….
“What’s wrong with everyone! Sorry, it’s prohibited. Let’s just take
care of our health, okay?”

Assistant Manager Kim, who was extremely friendly, sat down on


Yeo-woon’s desk.

“Mr. Yeowoon, are you taking any nutritional supplements?”

Oh, I messed up. story…It’s going to be long. Yeo-woon put a subtle


smile on his face so as not to lose the concept of being healthy,
good at work, and polite that he had adopted when he joined the
company. The corner of my mouth twitched slightly.

“Yeah, so I’ve been making herbal medicine and drinking it lately?”

“Oh, huh…. Chinese medicine. yes….”

“That’s why I can’t even drink alcohol.”

“omg… What should I do?”

“Still, my health is the best, so I’m trying to hold on for a bit, but it’s
not easy, right? By the way, come to think of it, we haven’t even had
a welcoming party yet, right? “Do you drink well, Yeowoon?”

“I neither drink well nor drink poorly.”

“Wow, you seem confident when you say that?”


“ah…. It’s not that much.”

The census is really…. When does lunch time end?

“You don’t exercise separately?”

“Exercise? These days, there’s nothing in particular….”

“What about the fortress? So you’re saying you did it before?”

“I did some boxing as a hobby. One or four months?”

“Yeah, boxing is good. These days, I’m working out again….”

Assistant Manager Kim kept talking to me alone for a while, but


when Director Jeong came in, he suddenly started fiddling with
documents, pretending to talk about work. Yeowoon also thought to
himself as he opened the Excel window on the screen again.

I haven’t been exercising lately, so I feel like my physical strength


has weakened…. Should I start exercising again?

***

‘Nyankyangnyangnyang invited you to the party. Do you want to


accept it?’

I wasn’t feeling very well, so I logged into the game today with the
intention of only getting attendance rewards, but Kitty Cat Yeowoon
was invited to the party. As soon as I came in, without even saying
hello, I suddenly wondered what was going on.

[Party] neutaaaa: haha

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: Here we come!

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Hello^^

[Party] Pea Wandya: Hahahahahahahahahaha

It was a party consisting of a total of 4 people, including Yeowoon.


However, this time we were able to confirm that Earth Star was not
in the party. Yeowoon, who was staring at the party members,
opened the couple window and asked through the party chat.

[Party] neutaaaa: What about Earth Star???

[Party] Pea Wandya: Hahahahaha As soon as I come, I’m looking


for Earth Star first? Haha

[Party] Wandu Wandya: What are you guys?

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Are you saying we will break up after the
spring event? There are only a few weeks left….

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Oh, that’s right, it’s time-limited
haha.
[Party] Wandu Wandya: I am against this breakup

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I agree

Breaking up? …Well, since I promised, it wasn’t that strange for me


to suddenly find Earth. because….

[Party] neutaaaa: It’s strange because there are no NPCs in the


game….

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Ahhahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] Captain Poseidon: I can understand it…. I feel a little weird


right now too

[Party] Wandu Wandya: NPC ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

In the eyes of Yeo-Woon, who only logged on in the evening, Earth


Star was glued to the game almost all day. He said he was a college
student, so what was he doing instead of going to school? Still, it
seemed like he went out today. Yes, that is correct. No matter what,
if people just play games all day…Life must be fun.

Anyway, normally he would be the type of person who would make a


fuss about going into the couple’s dungeon together, but it felt
strange to see that he was completely offline.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: But Newta, you will join our guild, right?
[Party] neutaaaa: ??

Captain Poseidon, who was already dressed in summer-scented


clothes, came to the lingering place from afar, fluttering white light.
Behind him came running behind him, Nyannyangnyang, who was
wearing black cat ears, and Wanduwandya, who was riding on a light
green slime ball boarding gate. The three Poseidons sat down on
either side, with Yeo-woon in the center.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: That’s because Earth Star dragged me


away from Ugg without consulting with New, and I didn’t find the
right time to ask him if he was okay.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: I understand if you don’t want to join the


guild because you feel burdened by Earth Star. Do whatever you
want!

not really…I never thought that far. Yeowoon just blankly closed his
eyes. Then, the pea wandya inside the round slime ball bounced
upward. The movement, like a bouncy ball bouncing, was cute.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: No!!! New, you absolutely have to join our
guild.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Mrs. Bugil is also waiting anxiously.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: No…It’s Halloween. He just does it


because it’s fun lol.
[Party] Captain Poseidon: It might be a bit awkward after breaking
up….

“…!”

Yeowoon was moved again. I can’t believe you even worry about
such delicate details. It may seem like a very unnecessary worry, but
it was still something I was thankful for. No matter how I looked at it,
it seemed like he was the only normal person in Poseidon. If I join in,
there will be two people, right?

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Hahahaha so funnyㅜ Gilma, don’t


overindulge…If someone sees you, will they think you’re really
dating?

[Party] Captain Poseidon: It’s not that I’m overly immersed, but I’m
worried about Newta’s mentality.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: I don’t have any worries lol.

[Party] Kitty Meow Meow Meow: ㄱㄴㄲ They’re both guys lol.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Ah, even thinking about it again, he seems


like a real Klitschko guy from the Earth lol Why did he confess
there?

I could just join any guild, but I couldn’t shake my heart at the
thought of being accepted by a ranker guild.
[Party] Captain Poseidon: The membership limit was one week after
withdrawal, right?

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Yes.

Since it had only been a few days since I left the Strawberry Jam
guild, I was unable to join another guild. Damn it. One day is
enough. I don’t know why they made it impossible to sign up for a
week. This is why I get criticized.

[Party] neutaaaa: But I’m not even level 200 yet, can I join? Can I
raise it to 200 within this week?

[Party] Captain Poseidon: No, it’s okay! Because you joined when
you were level 100. Aren’t the two of you at similar levels right now?

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Yes

[Party] neutaaaa: ?

[Party] Captain Poseidon: You two can run to max level together
haha.

Nonsense. I had an interview at level 120 and got kicked out by


Earth Star. What was it that made me worse than a level 100 cat
cat, so I had to suffer like that?

[Party] neutaaaa: ?
[Party] neutaaaa: ?

[Party] neutaaaa: ???

[Party] neutaaaa: So there was no level cut originally?

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Ah, that’s when Cat came in.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: So it wasn’t there last yearㅠㅠ

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Since around last winter, aggro suddenly


started happening. It was very difficult to filter out people if I didn’t
make a level cut.

There was something I heard very little from Earth Star. Looking
back on his memories, Yeo-woon asked once again if what he
remembered was correct.

[Party] neutaaaa: The story about that SNS being robbed? Is it?

[Party] Wandu Wanda: Nem Earth Star’s Instagram was robbed

[Party] Wandu Wandya: I couldn’t even see the account, but they
said it was locked right after the terrorist attack haha.

“ah….”
It was my own story. Yeowoon clicked his tongue and decided not to
ask any more questions. I think it would be best to hear this story
from myself later.

[Party] neutaaaa: But really, Earth Star, why aren’t you coming in
today?

[Party] neutaaaa: You said you stayed up all night trying to raise
your ranking, but are you still sleeping?

Earth Star ultimately ended this season ranked 2nd on the Athens
server. Moreover, thanks to the strange article he posted half a day
before the end of the season, the merciless swearing that was
pouring out just looking at Earth seemed to have subsided to some
extent.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Are you coming soon?

[Party] neutaaaa: Where did you go?

[Party] Captain Poseidon: I heard they are going to the swimming


pool again starting today.

[Party] neutaaaa: ??Pool?

The image of the planet Earth nestled in the afterglow did not go well
with swimming. I’ll just play the game as usual…. Now that I think
about it, I remember that there was a large swimming pool nearby.
Yeowoon thought deeply for a moment and then wrote a stream of
consciousness in the chat window.
[Party] neutaaaa: I think I should do some exercise too.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Why exercise?

[Party] neutaaaa: I feel like I’m catching colds often because my


stamina isn’t keeping up these days.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: ㅋㅋㅋㅋ I also go boxing after work.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Wow

For no reason, I felt a sense of kinship with Wandu Wandya. Not


only do they work at the same office, but they even participate in
boxing, a sport I used to do. As Yeo-woon pretended to know,
Wandu Wandya sympathized with my story by adding ten
exclamation marks.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: You guys are like hellchang

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Would you like to get hit by Kabunda


Helchang?

[Party] Kitty cat cat:


Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss….

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Exercise is good….

Starting with boxing and even talking about the company, Wandu
Wandya even told Manager Park that she had been saving up lately
because she was stressed.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Saving money for money haha

[Party] neutaaaa: Wow

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ㄷㄷ

But when I heard it, it seemed like a good idea. Before going to bed
today, Yeo-woon pledged to herself to open a free savings account.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: But after solving all the options and PVP
tips, did you see that they are nerfing Nas in the next update?

It seemed like he was talking about the update notice posted in the
morning. I didn’t read it closely, but there was news about the
Nightspear being downgraded?

[Party] Captain Poseidon: I don’t know anything else, but the tooltip
for increased movement speed has been modified….

[Party] Wandu Wanda: I’d rather nerf the attack speed, why not nerf
the attack speed lol

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅠㅠ

As soon as I heard that story, I felt it. The whole world must be so
annoyed….
[Party] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha But now I
think it’s okay to stop being so fast.

[Party] Wandu Wanda: Surely you’re not saying you’re going to refit
all your equipment????

“no way.”

Yeowoon chuckled. Earth was already fast enough even now. Even if
it is slightly lowered there, it seems to be almost two to three times
faster than other users, but it doesn’t seem to be much of a
problem.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: But…. As you wrote, I looked at the
equipment options! All speed options are level 9. Isn’t level 10 the
maximum level for the options?

[Party] Captain Poseidon: If you hit all of them, the weapon


explodes.

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: Ah….

‘30 minutes attendance reward has been paid.’

At that time, a message popped up saying that attendance rewards


had been paid, and Yeo-woon shivered, shivering as much as he
could. I felt like I should take some medicine and sleep well today.

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m not feeling well today due to a cold, so I’ll go in
first!
[Party] Kitty Cat Cat: Wow, my friend caught a cold too. Is it a trend
these days?

[Party] Wandu Wandya: I must have contracted the disease


because of the company^^

[Party] neutaaaa: Yes, I think too^_ㅠ

[Party] Wandu Wandya: ㅜㅜㅜㅜ….

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Party] Cat cat cat: ㅂㅂ

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Take a good rest!

[Party] Wandu Wandya: See you tomorrow^^/

Yeowoon turned off the game and lay down on the bed. As I blinked
at the white ceiling for a while, I heard the sound of the door next
door slamming shut after the sound of the elevator arriving.

“… Be surprised.”

He always closes the door hard like that. It is clear that there is a lot
of anger in the body.
That wasn’t all. He was avoiding the afterglow. Yesterday, when I
opened the door to go out for a moment, the man who had been
waiting for me after pressing the elevator button got startled and
immediately ran away into my house. People aren’t just a bunch of
germs, so I couldn’t figure out why they were so conspicuously
avoiding them.

“I’m sure I saw the swimming pool flyer discarded on the floor as I
was walking earlier….”

There’s an event going on right now, so I’ll have to go there


tomorrow and register. Once you register, you’ll work hard, right?
Thinking about that, Yeowoon got up and started boiling water. I was
used to it because I often caught colds during the change of
seasons, but being sick was really annoying no matter how many
times I experienced it. My throat was sore.

As I was sipping water mixed with citron syrup, my cell phone, which
had been left face down on the table, rang.

「Earth: Get rid of the cold quicklyㅠ」

It looks like Earth has just joined the game. Seeing that he was
talking about a cold, it seemed like the Poseidon guild members had
told him the story.

“Give birth x Get well o”

「Earth: It was a mistake――?」


What are the mistakes?

“Cough….”

Both the assistant manager and Wandu Wandya go to the gym even
though they are office workers. I really need to exercise now too. I
didn’t do anything all winter last year. Yeo-woon strengthened his
resolve by checking the remaining balance in his bank account.

Never in my wildest dreams did I ever dream that I would meet the
man next door, whom I had never seen again since moving, at the
swimming pool.

***

Yeowoon sniffed as he roughly looked through the white paper with


precautions and pool rules written on it. Then the manager raised his
head, looked at the afterglow and said.

“You know you can’t swim yet if you have a cold, right?”

“yes… I’ll come back after I get better.”

“When is the right time? “If you are an office worker, you won’t be
able to do this.”
He crossed out all the times that overlapped with normal work hours
and circled the times that seemed possible.

‘5 AM, 6 AM, 7 PM, 8 PM.’

It seemed like the morning would be difficult, and around 7pm


seemed the most appropriate time. It seemed like it would be
perfect to stop by after work and come home, or it was a convenient
distance to stop by and come home.

“I’ll do it at seven o’clock.”

“yes. However, Yeo-woon Lee will be the only male member in the
beginner’s class at this time. Because there are more female
members, some people quit quickly because they feel it is
burdensome.”

“ah…. That’s okay, though.”

“Everyone says that at first, but when you actually get into it, it
seems different. If you have only a certain level of basic knowledge,
you can register directly for the intermediate class. Young people
catch up quickly.”

“I’m not floating in the water. Is that okay?”

“Everyone floats on water.”

“….”
Yeowoon closed his mouth. That’s other people’s stories, I really
don’t see it…. The manager looked at the lingering blank-eyed look
and circled the beginner class. It was clear that they thought there
was no answer to put them in the intermediate class.

“So, are you okay with the beginner class?”

“yes.”

First, Yeowoon had to learn how to float on water. Even when I went
to the valley with my friends, I was teased more than once for
playing alone with a tube instead of dog swimming. The sound of a
pen drawing on paper was strangely pleasant to hear. After
registering as a member and presenting my card for payment, I saw
the manager insert the card into the reader and give final approval.

“…uh?”

Meanwhile, I saw a noticeably tall man coming out of the men’s


shower room. A strange sense of joy filled Yeowoon’s mind.

‘what. You’re the person next door, right? Does that person go
swimming too?’

As soon as he came out, he tilted his head to one side, started


jumping, and looked at his phone. He looked at his phone with an
expressionless expression for a while, then his mouth twitched and
he smiled mirthlessly. It seemed like he was reading something
interesting. Yeowoon asked as he accepted the card and receipt
handed to him.
“Didn’t you say I’m the only male member at this time?”

“yes?”

The manager turned his head to follow Yeowoon’s gaze, soon


understood what he meant, and spoke.

“Only the beginner class. There are male members in the


intermediate class and above, but this member is in the master
class.”

“Then why don’t you learn somewhere else?”

“Yes, the lanes are different.”

Right. Yeowoon nodded his head slowly. The man walked over,
tapping his cell phone with his large hand, and raised his head
slightly as if he felt his gaze on my face.

“…!”

hello? Yeowoon raised the corner of his mouth and slightly raised his
hand. Last time I said it was okay to say hello…. However, rather
than accepting Yeo-woon’s greeting, the man frowned as soon as
their eyes met and began to quickly run out of the pool.

“….”
The raised hand was embarrassing. Yeowoon lowered her hand
again and followed him out of the pool. The man had already left the
playground and was running quickly on the overpass in the distance.
I couldn’t figure out why I was so wary.

Meanwhile, a village bus arrived in front of Yeowoon. The bus


dropped you off right in front of Yeowoon’s house. It wasn’t far so it
would have been nice to walk, but if I overexerted my cold body
even a little, it was only a matter of time before my condition
worsened.

As Yeowoon got on the bus, he pressed his thumb on the app


notification on the top bar. The Whole Blue app opened and a chat
window with Earth Star appeared on the screen.

“Earth: What time are you coming?”

「Earth: Please go through the event dungeon with me today >_<」

「Earth: I have to adjust new equipment because the movement


speed and cooldown of Nasu’s skills have been lowered. .」

「ㅉㅉ」

“I heard the hero level has been upgraded haha.”

It was a record of his reply to a message from Earth Star a couple


of hours ago. Below, the Earth star was sending another message.
Beneath the lingering speech bubble, the text message Earthstar
had just sent appeared, and it wasn’t just one or two, the scroll was
endless. Moreover, it seems as if it is still plastered all over the
screen, with ‘ㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗ’ coming up endlessly in the preview
window.

…No, what is this all about?

“Earth: The next victim could be you.”

「Earth: Are you laughing now?ㅋㅋㅠㅠㅠ」

「Earth: Oh really…. Not only did I touch one thing, but all of my
skill cooldowns were messed up, so now I’m screwed.ㅠㅠ!”

「Earth: Don’t you feel sorry for me? ㅠㅠㅠ」

「Earth: ㅠㅠㅠPlease!! Earth wish!

“earth: ?”

The normal message ended here. And underneath was a feast of


unidentifiable characters.

“earth: .,.,.,….ㆍㅏㅣㅏㅑㅑ」

「Earth: Mmmmmmmmmmm」
“Earth: ㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗ”

“Earth: ㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅛㅛㅛㅗㅗ”

“….”

There were countless ‘ㅗ’ listed below that. I can’t believe they even
plastered it all over the place like this. He must have been very
upset by the news of the downgrade….

「I know… You just have to return it.”

“Earth: ㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗ”

「?」

“Earth: ㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗ”

Even though I sent a reply, he kept giving me the middle finger.

“… What are you telling me to do?”

Yeowoon shook his head and closed the Whole Blue app by sliding it
upwards. In the blink of an eye, the village bus stopped in front of
Yeowoon’s house. As I tagged in and jumped off the bus, I saw a
man running in front of me and entering the building. It looks like you
ran hard from there to here.
“It’s fast….”

Exercise again after exercise. I thought I really liked exercise. By the


time Yeowoon walked slowly into the building, the elevator had
arrived at the first floor. As the door opened with a ding sound, the
man took a deep breath and entered the elevator.

“hello.”

“… Ugh!”

Yeowoon followed behind the man and said hello. The man, who was
catching his breath while flapping his sweat-soaked T-shirt, looked
up in surprise at the voice.

“….”

His eyes widened and he started pressing the elevator open button.
But the door had already been closed a long time ago. As the
elevator began to go upwards, the man sighed openly and turned
around.

“Why do you keep following me?”

Yeo-woon was a little glad that he spoke first, so he kindly answered


the question.

“Because it’s next door.”


“….”

He pursed his lips as if he had nothing to say. And then, as if he was


desperately trying to find something to say, he let out a deep sigh
again.

“Ha, really…. And again. I ran, but how did they get there so fast?
“Do you use superpowers?”

“You took that bus?”

“yes?”

“Village bus.”

“….”

“Number 10. If you get on that, drop it off in front of here.”

“…ha.”

He nervously brushed his still wet hair and glared at Yeo-woon as


much as he could. To be honest, Yeowoon was a little scared as he
was about to hit me, but I was worried that he would look at me
even more strangely if I avoided his gaze, so I looked straight at
him.

“Why aren’t you going out to the cafe these days? “Did you quit?”
“Don’t talk to me.”

“number….”

“Don’t talk to me!”

Go swimming…. I tried to ask, but I was chewed out before I could


say anything. Is there anything like that? Yeowoon grumbled in a
voice loud enough for the man to hear.

“No, I said I could say hello last time….”

“When am I?”

Oh my. I can’t believe I forgot what I said the day before


yesterday…. Yeowoon sighed inwardly, lamenting the man’s
memory. I decided to ask honestly about what had come to this.

“Why do you keep avoiding me? “Do you hate me?”

“yes.”

He answered without even the slightest hesitation. Yeowoon felt a


little offended by that answer.

“why? “Why don’t you like it?”

“I don’t have any particular reason to like it. That’s Okay?”


“….”

Even though we aren’t really close friends, I felt sad when I heard
that he didn’t like me.

‘As expected, I had to at least move the house.’

When Yeowoon slightly frowned in frustration, the man turned


around as if he did not want to interact with her. When the elevator
reached the top floor and opened, he hurried out as if he had been
waiting.

Yeo-woon, who was staring at the back, carefully took out the
macaroons that Assistant Manager Kim had handed out at the
company from the bag. Then, he put his hand into the pocket of the
man’s hood who was pressing the door lock password while covering
it with his body.

“…evil! what!”

The man was startled and looked back. A large hand slapped my
hand away. Yeowoon took a step back for the wary man and raised
his hand.

“Do you like sweets?”

“…yes?”

“This is a macaron. Come in and eat it.”


“….”

“Strawberry flavor.”

The man twitched his closed mouth as Yeowoon timidly added the
words. He gently pressed his hand on the pocket and made a
crunching sound. I was expecting a response telling me to get away
with it, but Yeo-woon was internally relieved to see a more limited
response than expected.

“Are you ever going to move?”

“Why me?! “Send him away even if you leave, why am I moving?”

The man grunted.

“So, we will see each other often in the future.”

“hey. Why am I with you….”

“It’s next door, but they keep avoiding me. Can you hear me pacing
in front of the front door? “What’s so scary about riding an elevator
together?”

“…Oh, isn’t it? “Isn’t it me?!”

Voices grew louder. It was definitely a stabbing.


“That’s all I have right now. I bought it from a good place.”

Not me, but Assistant Manager Kim….

“And if there’s no reason to like it, you can just make it. Isn’t that
right?”

“….”

The man stared at me without answering those words, then pressed


the last number on the door lock and went inside the house. Still,
seeing as they didn’t return the macaroons, I guess I wanted to eat
them.

‘The kid next door is really weird.’

Yeowoon chuckled, turned around, and walked back to his house.

***

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m worriedㅠ

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Don’t tell me


[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: It seems like there’s a pervert living next door.

Did you eat the macaroons? While thinking about the guy next door
and trying to figure out how to become friends with him, Yeowoon
unconsciously gasped at what Earth Byul said. It seemed that he
was not the only one suffering because of his neighbor.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: How do you know he’s a pervert?
Did you ask me if I was a pervert??

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Cat.

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: Why?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Should I have asked?ㅡㅡ;

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: LOL

[Party] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hahahahahaha

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Or did you hear a sound?

‘sound….’

There were many experiences that lingered in my mind as I heard


those words. There are a lot of really special people in the world.
When I was in college, I lived in a dormitory for a while, and it wasn’t
even a motel. There was a senior in my class who would bring
people over every day and make noises in the middle of the night.
Yeowoon didn’t even see the scene in person, but he was so
stressed out by the sound that he couldn’t sleep at night.

no. If we’re going to do it, we’re going to enjoy it just the two of us,
so we don’t want to bother letting the neighbors hear the sound….

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ? It’s not

[Party] ㅈi9Star: What are you thinking, cat?

“….”

Yeowoon thought for a moment and obligingly followed the earth


star.

[Party] neutaaaa: ㄷㄷㄷㄷㄷ

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: Ah…Nope

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: No, they say I’m a pervert.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: The cat who thinks like that is even
more perverted.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ㅡㅡ


[Party] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahaha

“….”

Yeowoon, who had exactly the same thoughts as Cat Meow Meow,
quietly laughed and moved on. Anyway, if you don’t tell anyone that
you had the same thought, no one will know.

[Party] neutaaaa: Then how did you really know?

If it wasn’t for bringing someone over and making them moan every
day, how did they know that that person was a pervert?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I will first ask you to withdraw from the party for a
moment.

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: Huh, is it me? suddenly?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I’ll invite you after we talk later><

[Party] Halloween branch: Let’s get out quickly.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Wow Eva I’m being bulliedㅠㅠ

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Because it’s a bit of a thing to say to a minor.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Ah haha.


‘Nyankyangnyangnyangnyang left the party.’

Earth Star forced Cat Meow Meow Meow to leave the party and
made it impossible for her to see the conversation. Nevertheless,
Nyannyangnyangnyang, which did not go far, gave up hunting and
started wandering around the map to collect. Earth Star calmly
spoke as she drew aggro from the monsters on the map and
brought it to Yeowoon.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: This is a long story, so to speak.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Where should I start talking….

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: What on earth is going on like that lol

What would normally have been said in just a few seconds was
sparsely chatted over the course of 10 seconds. In reality, he was
speaking carefully, choosing his words.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: To conclude, I received a confession from my


neighbor today….

[Party] neutaaaa: ?

The steam suddenly escaped. What is your concern? Is this


something worth talking about?

Halloween Branch must have thought the same thing, so it took out
a large hammer and started hammering at Earth Star’s head. As if it
seemed like fun, Meownyangnyangnyang, who was nearby, also
started kicking Earthstar.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Are you bragging about it;;

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I’m proud haha

[Party] neutaaaa: What else can I say;

Yeowoon also disarmed his weapon and punched Earth Star.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Hahahahaha I’m not braggingㅠ If I just received a


confession, I wouldn’t say anything.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I told you that the person next door is like a
pervert.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: What is that? If your lover is a pervert,


isn’t it a bitch? Haha, it’ll be fun, let’s just date.

[Party] neutaaaa: Let’s just date22222

[Party] neutaaaa: I’ll invite you again, cat.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Why did you send it out?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m not finished talking yet!!


There was no need to hear any more. I’m not even curious about
other people’s confessions. Yeowoon right-clicked Cat Meow Meow
and tried to press the party invitation button.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: There are people who call the person next door
“master”

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I have two slaves

“…?”

what? slave? Yeowoon moved his mouse away from the party
invitation button and hung on the ladder. He wasn’t able to type fast
enough to write chatting while jumping like an Earth star.

[Party] Halloween branch: 3P slave play hahahaha

[Party] neutaaaa: Did you see it in person??

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I heard your voice because I left the front door
open.

“….”

You heard three people playing like that next door? Yeowoon burst
into laughter. An extraordinary world. I can’t tell you how fortunate I
am that there is no such person living next door to me.

[Party] neutaaaa: That’s right….


[Party] Halloween Eggplant: LOL I guess it was a good idea to send
the cat out.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I am thinking this deeply^^

Meanwhile, Cat Meow Meow Meow was playing alone, changing her
clothes. It looks like they are looking for a matching outfit. It was as
if I had never even dreamed that something like this was being said
in the party chat.

Anyway, how big of a shock was it? I completely understood the


reason for sharing my concerns. It must have been even more
troubling to receive a confession from such a person.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: No, what…You’re not asking me to join in, and it’s
none of my business that a pervert lives next door, right?

[Party] ㅈi9Byul: But the problem is that he has been watching me


ever since.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: If you come to your senses, you can see me
nearby….

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m going out for a little while today to do some
business.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: That bird is waiting outside for me to come out;;

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: ㅠㅠㅠㅠIsn’t it creepy? How do you know where


I’m going?
After listening to it, it seemed like it was quite evil. That person may
be trying to take revenge on Earth for revealing the embarrassing
scene. …No wait, if revenge was your goal, why did you confess?

[Party] neutaaaa: What did he say when he confessed?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: What did you say?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: He basically said he would make me like him….

“Crazy guy….”

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: There are all kinds of strange people


hahahaha

It was truly groundless confidence. The Earth would be shocked to


hear such a confession….

Yeowoon synthesized what Earth Star had said in his head. So, the
person who lives next door has similar tastes, and while playing with
the front door open, Earth Star found out about it. And after stalking
him, I finally confessed to him today…?

‘He said he would make me like him.’

“…!”

As Yeowoon pondered that sentence over and over again in his


head, he realized something.
[Party] neutaaaa: I don’t think I really like it.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: ㅇㅇ

[Party] neutaaaa: Isn’t this something you’re trying to tame and play
with?

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Pet Planet ♥

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Don’t make me madㅡㅡ

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Now that I think about it, they gave me something
to eat today.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Was it delicious?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I ate it all in one bite!

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Why are you eating that? It seems like
the Earth has already become tamed

Given that they also provided food, it was difficult to find a more
reasonable answer than this. A person in their right mind wouldn’t
just choose to do things that the person they like doesn’t like. In
addition, since he was caught in an embarrassing scene, it was
plausible that he harbored a desire for revenge against Earth.

[Party] neutaaaa: But they say a pervert gets more excited if he


reacts violently.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Huh? But already

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Just saying hello made me chew and bounce
haha;

[Party] neutaaaa: I think that would be okay?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I also swore….

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Pervert Magnet is done

[Party] neutaaaa: ㄷㄷ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Ha….

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Doesn’t the pervert get more excited


because he keeps running away? LOL

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Good!! Then, starting tomorrow, I will try not to eat.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: It would be funny if one day you come


saying, “I’m going to marry that owner!”
[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Pet Planet ♥

[Party] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahaha no way

[Party] ㅈi9Star: It’s annoyingㅡㅡ

Things like that happen in life. Yeo-woon laughed quietly, feeling


sorry for Earth’s misfortune. It seemed like there were a lot of really
strange people in the world.

***

First day of swimming. Yeowoon had to practice floating in a low pool


and learn basic breathing techniques at the same time. The
swimming instructor, who had snorted and said that it couldn’t be
true when Yeo-woon said that she couldn’t float, looked
embarrassed when she saw Yeo-woon sinking from the waist down
and advised her that she should relax all her strength.

Yeo-woon, who had been practicing kicking hard for thirty minutes
while holding onto the ledge of the pool, realized that it was almost
time to leave, so he sat down on the bottom of the pool and raised
his head. He glanced at the swimmers in the lane next to him.

The swimming instructor was teaching ladies who were practicing


kicking with a kickboard, and in the lane next to it, someone
Yeowoon knew was swimming freestyle to the end. I don’t know
when he started swimming, but the man had considerable swimming
skills. To me, who knew nothing, it seemed like that.

“Why are you here? “They’re not even children?”

“This is a place where only children come in.”

“Eh. My older sister is in the 6th grade of elementary school and is


already in the intermediate class, but this person is an adult and
practicing breathing in the children’s pool!”

Elementary school students who had previously been watching from


a distance gathered next to Yeowoon and made fun of him. ‘Oh, I’m
an adult.’ He said, ‘Oh, it’s a child.’ When I agreed with them, they
seemed to feel closeness of their own accord. The youngest boy
among the dogs demanded Yeowoon’s attention, offering to show
him how to wear a swimming cap. The child showed off his hat-
wearing skills by filling his hat with water and throwing a water bomb
on his head.

“Wow, that’s amazing.”

When Yeowoon gave a thumbs up, the children looked proud and
wiped under their noses. The reactions were so cute that I just
laughed.

At that time, there was a crunching sound and the man next door
came up to the surface. As if I was taking a photo shoot alone at a
local swimming pool, the fluttering water droplets could be seen in
slow motion. He looked back at the lingering sight in the distance,
rubbing his face with his palm.

“….”

“….”

The gazes of the two people intertwined in the air. Yeowoon closed
his eyes. Water droplets were dripping down the man’s skin. But
today, our eye contact was frequent. When Yeowoon looked up from
practicing breathing with his head in the water, he saw the man next
door looking at him. Of course, it was only a moment and you
quickly turn your head away.

There was a rumbling sound. At that moment, students in the 8


o’clock class were entering the swimming pool one by one. The
children who were playing together also walked towards the
intermediate class lane and called out their mothers and older
sisters. After seeing several people returning to the shower room,
Yeowoon got up and walked out of the pool.

The man who was standing quietly at the end of the lane he was
using raised his head. Realizing that his eyes were following her,
Yeowoon stopped in front of him and squatted down slightly.

“why?”

“….”
When he spoke first, his pitch black eyes wavered slightly. It was
funny to see him look embarrassed when I first spoke to the subject
he had been staring at from before. We’ve met many times over the
years, but today was the first time we met at the swimming pool. I
thought I could look good just by wearing loose tracksuits, but when
I took them off, my shoulders looked quite wide. You’re good at
swimming, but have you been exercising for a long time?

“…!”

The man next door suddenly crossed his arms in an X shape in front
of his chest and held his forearms tightly. He looked up at himself
with his chin in the water. Even after looking at him for a long time, I
saw that he was still and it seemed like he had nothing to say.
Yeowoon asked as he sat down on the edge of the swimming pool.

“How old are you?”

“Oh, no…. Do you really ask my age like this all of a sudden?”

“Then when can I ask?”

At least he was harsh and said, ‘You don’t have to know.’ The man,
who was expected to turn his head, thought for a while and muttered
in a low voice.

“… Twenty-three.”

“yes?”
“I’m twenty-three. What about that one?”

what? Why are you answering so obediently? Where does it hurt?

“I’m four years older.”

“under. You’re so old!”

The man raised the corners of his mouth and lifted his chin. It
seemed like he was deliberately trying to start a fight.

‘Well, it might feel that way to a 23-year-old.’

College students think that even if their student number is just one
year higher, they are considered seniors. Yeowoon understood the
man’s words and nodded. He seemed even more embarrassed than
Yeoun at Yeoun’s reaction.

“Aren’t you going to take a shower?”

“…Why am I washing up with you?!”

The strangely obedient man has now returned to his normal tone. I
was relieved to see an expression full of caution. I thought I was in
pain again….

“I never asked you to shower together….”


“Ji, it’s really funny!”

He took a step back and, without listening to Yeo-woon’s reply,


swam across the lane as if running away. Yeowoon, who was staring
at him, went into the shower room first, washed himself, and came
out. Even as Yeowoon got dressed and left the swimming pool, the
man did not follow behind him.

「Earth: I’m a little late today. I’m running firstㅡㅡ」

“?yep”

Yeowoon, who was walking home alone, suddenly realized that she
had not asked the name of the man next door. I think there was a
name tag attached to the cafe uniform at the time, but I couldn’t
remember because I only saw it at a glance.

‘Next time we meet, I’ll ask your name.’

***

And two days later, when I returned to the swimming pool, the man
next door appeared wearing a full-body swimsuit.
“Why did that bachelor wear a full-body swimsuit when it was a hot
day?”

“Are you an instructor?”

“It’s cold.”

Yeowoon looked back. The man who came in after me was wearing
a different swimsuit than the day before. Actually, I didn’t think it was
that strange, but the people who went into the water first and were
socializing started whispering together. From what I heard, it
seemed that only the instructors wore full-body swimsuits in
swimming pools like this when it was cold in the winter.

‘It’s cold? It’s strange that it’s summer soon. ‘Do you get cold a lot?’

Yeowoon tilted his head. The water is a bit cold, but all swimming
pool water is like this. Besides, he said he had been swimming for so
long that he was in a master class alone, so if he felt this cold…it
would be a bit….

The man suddenly walked in front of Yeowoon, stood in front of him


and stared at him. He seemed to suddenly feel better. When we ran
into each other in the locker room earlier, he backed away without
taking off his clothes, but now he even made eye contact first….

‘Are you very moody?’

He seems like a strange person. Yeowoon nodded and said hello to


his neighbors.
“hello.”

“… I saw you earlier, why are you saying hello again?”

“I couldn’t say hello to you because you suddenly ran away outside.
You came in quickly?”

“….”

The man looked down at the afterglow with narrowed eyes. Because
of the considerable height difference, I even felt a little intimidated.
At first glance, it seemed like it would be in the late 180s.

A children’s pool came into view over his broad shoulders. I didn’t
want to go into the water until the beginner’s swimming instructor
came out to teach me some warm-up exercises, but the elementary
school students who were splashing around in the pool waved their
hands and smiled at Yeowoon.

“Oh, I’m an adult again!”

“Brother. Why didn’t you come yesterday?”

“Bro bro! “I know how to dog swim very fast. Would you like to see
it?”

As he passed the man and approached, the children grabbed


Yeowoon’s ankles and urged him to come in quickly. I was suddenly
pulled into them, and when my toes lightly touched the surface of
the water, someone grabbed my wrist and pulled me.
“oh!”

“hey.”

The person who held Yeowoon’s hand was the man next door. He
watched Yeo-woon lose her balance and stumble, waited for her to
stand upright, and then let out a deep sigh.

“If I go into the water without warming up, accidents will happen,
right?”

“… It’s a children’s pool.”

“Is that a child? “Why are you going there?”

“It’s shallow….”

“Even if it’s shallow, if you suddenly go in, your body gets startled.
You don’t even know these basic things, really.”

What on earth did you learn on the first day? He grumbled and
pouted his lips. I wondered why a man who was so wary of me that
he even ran away to avoid me would be so worried. His body
temperature clumped around my wrist, which was gently gripped,
making it warm. Yeowoon stared at the man and asked quietly.

“Are you worried about me?”

“…worry? worry? under. Why me?”


I thought so.

“Not really….”

“I guess you wanted me to worry about you, right? Ha, I hope for
everything, really.”

As he said that, he threw away Yeowoon’s wrist. I thought you were


worried about me again…. Yeowoon asked, scratching his wrist
where his body temperature still remained.

“You said you were 23 last time.”

“I remember that again.”

“College student?”

“You know what to do. What if I didn’t go to college? Could you


please stop asking such prejudiced questions based solely on age?
“Because it’s annoying.”

“You’re unemployed….”

“… I’m a college student!”

He answered, frowning dissatisfiedly. Then you can say that you are
a college student. That makes things very difficult.
“What is your name?”

“You don’t have to know.”

“You don’t have to know, what is your name?”

“Oh really!”

He didn’t seem to like his name very much. Yeowoon seemed to


have a general idea of how to treat men. I get really annoyed when
you play with words like this. His reaction was like a freshly caught
live fish, which made me want to poke at it even more.

“But that guy’s dick is really big!”

At that time, the elementary school student who had been waiting
for Yeo-woon to pay attention to me muttered. Yeo Woon and the
man’s gaze returned to the child. The child, perplexed by the gaze
directed at me, lay down on his back, did a backstroke, and swam
away.

“….”

“….”

I tried not to look, but I couldn’t stop my head from slowly turning.
When Yeowoon’s gaze landed between the man’s legs, a large palm
covered Yeowoon’s eyes. It was so sudden that it made a popping
sound, and Yeoun’s shoulders shook slightly.
“Well, what are you looking at?”

“I haven’t seen it yet….”

“yet? “I guess you miss me, right?”

He snorted sarcastically.

“yes? “Can you show me?”

“I didn’t get shot in the head, so why me!”

“…gun?”

As Yeowoon muttered, the man removed the hand covering his face.
After being obscured the entire time, my vision became bright again
and a face staring at me with its lips tightly pursed came into view.

“Fuck, really.”

Was it an illusion that the nape of my neck and ears turned red even
while I was swearing?

The man turned around and started walking as far away from
Yeowoon as possible. The swimming instructor, who was just getting
out of the shower room, almost collided with the man who was
running away and let out an exclamation, “Oh my gosh.”
“Do you know this member?”

“I live next door. We’re not that close, but….”

“wow. So you and that person met here by chance?”

“yes. It just so happens that the time is right.”

“amazing! “I think the world is very small.”

I know. The world is very small. Even though we live in the same
neighborhood, I never thought we’d see each other so often.

“Instructor, do you know that person’s name?”

“well? Up to that point, I’m fine….”

The instructor helped Yeowoon warm up and, being a social animal,


he gave very normal answers. He threw Yeo-woon into the children’s
pool and made her practice kicking while holding onto the wall, and
Yeo-woon was once again surrounded by elementary school
students. The children are as simple as they are young, so I played
rock, paper, scissors to match their rhythm, and they were so
excited that they almost fainted.

In the end, I couldn’t tell if the man’s thing was really big or if the
elementary school student was lying to get my attention. This was
because the man deliberately wrapped a long towel around his waist
and washed himself in the shower room he went into together.
Anyone who sees it will think it’s only up to them. Do you really have
to do it like that? Don’t look. I don’t watch it because it’s dirty, I….
Yeowoon smiled and passed the man who was covering himself with
all the nerves in his body.

Author: GM Pudding

Hello adventurers >_<! Greetings from GM Pudding!

In order to provide rich content, we will be updating from 6:00 AM to


10:00 AM on May 2nd, so please understand that access may be
difficult during that time!

■Event information

Protect, VS Guild Siege (Guild Content)

■Event contents
-After the guild master accepts the event through event NPC Zened,
guild members can check the scenario and event in each guild’s
guild room.

-You can go to the event map through the event NPC Zened in the
guild zone.

- When you proceed with the quest after the update, you will receive
siege points that can be used to acquire buff items needed for the
siege, and the points will expire after the event.

-Node wars (occurring on each map) are content that takes place
from Monday to Saturday, and occupation wars (city level) take
place on Sundays.

-The Conquest War event takes place on a city-by-city basis. Once


you have decided on a city, you cannot change it midway, so guild
masters are asked to be aware of this and choose carefully.

■Compensation

-For 6 months from the end of the event, a flag with the guild
emblem of the guild that occupied the city will be displayed on the
roof of the city.

-Guild funds will be paid out for 6 months depending on the traffic
and transaction volume of each city.

After the update, a detailed information page will open.


(This is a post that cannot be commented on.)

‘neutaaaa has joined the guild.’

A week has passed, the grace period for joining the guild. Yeowoon
pressed the confirm button on the guild invitation sent by Captain
Poseidon.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Creepy, then are you really a stalker? thief

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Even though I intentionally covered it, they kept


looking at it blatantly;

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Health checkup for each pet district ♥

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅗ

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Health check-up hahahaha

As soon as I entered the guild, I saw chat coming up and it seemed


like they were already talking actively.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: I am a new member of the guild! Please


welcome~!

[Guild] Blessyou: Hehehe


[Guild] Park Hwibug: Hahahaha? Even though I’m new, I’m very
familiar with it.

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Wow Newnim hahahaha

[Guild] Wondo Zero: Hello~!

[Guild] neutaaaa: Please take care of me haha

There were people in the guild that Yeowoon already knew, and
there were often nicknames that she had never seen before. I often
see people from large guilds in town, and Poseidon seemed just as
big. Well, that’s what they say on the bulletin board…. If the guild
wasn’t big, it wouldn’t be called that often.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hahaha

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Hello haha

[Guild] Uni Jjajang: Haha

[Guild] al0ha: Hahaha~!

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Everyone, please say welcome!

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: I hate it>ㅅ<

‘Ji9 Star has been demoted to a regular guild member.’


[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Oh really

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahaha

It seemed like this was the demotion I had only heard about. Using
its guild position as a weapon, Earth Star made a meaningless
apology to me. Even though it hadn’t been that long, it all seemed
like a long time ago.

‘Ji9 Star has been promoted to elite guild member.’

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: I gave it back to you.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Don’t play with your position.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahaha yes~

The guild master was, as we knew, Captain Poseidon, and


Halloween Branch, who played a prank on lowering the position of
Earth Star this time, seemed to be the deputy guild master. Guild
chat continued to rise. There was small talk, people often asked
about trading prices, and even asked for people to go hunting with
them. I was distracted by the fairly crowded guild chat.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: But you came in at the right time hahaha.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: It’s been a while since we had a large guild
event!
[Guild] neutaaaa: Did it pop up earlier? Siege??

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Yep hahahaha you’ve already seen it

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Large events like this only happen once or
twice a year. You’ve got the timing right!

It was amazing. I happened to get involved with the Poseidon guild


and joined the guild, and when I joined, they even held a large
event….

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: New, let’s go pick cabbages in the guild room >_<
We’ve beaten all the event quests, so if only New can wake up, we’ll
be dammed!

[Guild] neutaaaa: Yes

Come to think of it, when you join a guild, there is a guild room that
guild members can enter. The previous guild had nothing, but
Poseidon was an active guild and I was already looking forward to
seeing what the guild room would look like. Yeowoon was excited
and started running towards the guild union.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: LOL They say they’re a couple so they


take care of their boyfriends

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Poseidon’s first couple is born ㅊㅊ

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Although they are a man-man couple haha


“…?”

In the game, everyone forms couples, right? I thought this would be


especially true since it is a game with a couple buff, but I was even
more surprised to hear that there was not a single established
couple within the guild.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: They’re taking care of me because I’m a newbie,


but it’s really weirdㅡㅡ

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: How long have you been like that
hahaha you act like you always took good care of me

[Guild] neutaaaa: You don’t really treat me very well, do you?

[Guild] Ji9 Star: Huh?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Why?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: …Wow, I raised them all

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Exploding sense of betrayal…. go-

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I guess you don’t know what it is to
not take care of something…Is it the luxury of those who have it?
[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

Are you giving me a lot of attention just because I told you to do an


event quest? Yeowoon looked puzzled and moved into the guild
room. Unlike the ghost guild I heard about before, guild crops were
growing on one side of the guild room, and furniture that I didn’t
know who had decorated was cutely placed. Except for the guild
members who were going out separately to do their business, the
rest of the guild members were all sitting together inside. When
Yeowoon entered the guild room, the Earth Star jumped up and
down in its place as if to welcome him.

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Ah, the cabbage I planted is tearing it all up.

“Oh, is that so?”

It may have been too shameless of me to arbitrarily frost the


cabbage, even though it wasn’t the cabbage I grew. Instead of
collecting cabbage items in the crop field, Yeowoon turned around
and used the ‘bowing down’ emoticon. It was one of the emoticons
that Earth Star handed over, saying that she had already learned it a
long time ago.

Nod. As Yeowoon’s character bent over and bowed to the folder,


silence came over the chat window for a moment.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwibug: This is kinda cute hahahaha.


[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I said hello hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

And everyone who witnessed Yeo-woon greeting them all laughed


and uttered excessive consonants.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: LOL Newbie Tina LOL Yes, eat a lot.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: You can mine it all haha.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Thank you haha!

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Weird hahahaha

But as soon as Earthstar said a word, the guild members stood up


and raised question marks above their heads.

Guild] Halloween Branch: ?

[Guild] al0ha: ?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Weird??


[Guild] Wandu Wandya: ?Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Why? They won’t let me say a word

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Discrimination is so bad; When I


came in, you told me to fuck you.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Even during interviews, they asked
me to do three poems for each district and chose one.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Haha, no then

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅈ1 Lal. They say to order a star from Gujeolcho,
but it looks like they won’t give you a choice?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: A three-line poem that touches the


heart…Still 100 points

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I helped with the guild quest tooㅠㅠ

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Cat ㅜㅜㅜㅜ ㅌㄷㅌㄷ

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: That means if you want to raise a Valkyrie, you


should quit the game haha.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: I will help you change jobs, so become an alt.
[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I just tell them to quit the game
because they always mess up ㅠㅠ

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅋㅋㅋ Quit the game~

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Look at thisㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: You little cat Pico haha I will take revenge someday

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Revenge hahahahaha yes!

They even ordered a three-line poem, so they really ordered


everything. Other people said that the Poseidon interview really
didn’t have any answers, but it seemed like it was all Earth’s work.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: No, but Earth Star and Newnim helped
you with the long quest from start to finish.

[Guild] ㅈi9star: Hero is a goddamn guy haha Mankiri is a bad guy

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: They also discriminate against jobs ㅜㅜ

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Look at the difference between how you


treat a cat and a new one.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ㄷㄷㄷ


I felt it during party hunting, but the Poseidon guild members were
good at targeting and driving away people, mainly using the
Halloween branch, a boogil mine. And from what Yeo-woon has seen
so far, the target is mainly Earth or Cat Meow Meow. Of course, the
problem was that Earth Star and Cat Meow Meow became the same
as Halloween when they made fun of someone.

So the conclusion we came to is, it’s between us.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: But won’t the May event end when it’s updated
tomorrow?

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: If you want to grab the lottery, you must
buy it within today!

[Guild] blessyou: Wow, I have to go buy something for military tech.


Thank you, Gilma.

“uh? already?”

I went through the couple event dungeon dozens of times, but few
of the puzzles that Earth Star wanted came out. But it’s already time
for the event to end. I once again felt like time was passing quickly.
Yeowoon decided to keep his promise to Earth by opening the
couple window.

‘The relationship with couple ㅈi9byul is at the ‘Lv.3 getting to know


stage’. In case of breakup, the affection index disappears and the
number of dating days is reset. Do you really want to break up with
the couple?’
Since it was promised first anyway, there is no need to hurt each
other’s feelings. They weren’t even a real couple, well. When I
pressed the confirmation button, a message appeared asking me to
enter my account password again.

‘Couple hell, solo heaven! Congratulations on your return to solo!’

The couple window that was turned on made a cracking sound and
the couple status was canceled. The Earth Star, floating above the
lingering light of cabbage digging, stopped in place. The tulip fell
right next to Yeo-woon, and the Earth Star raised a question mark
above its head.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: What is it? It says ‘You were just dumped.’

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Ugh, the couple window doesn’t appear;;; bug game

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: That’s not a bug, it’s a command that


appears when the other person breaks the couple haha.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Huh Munsol?

[Guild] neutaaaa: I woke up.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ….
Normally, he would have used an emoticon, but he is frozen and
dumbfounded while riding a tulip. The Poseidon guild members
sitting in the middle rushed towards the cabbage field and laughed at
the Earth Star.

[Guild] al0ha:
Tskkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Guild] Kitty cat cat: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: It must have been your first time and
you must have been quite shocked.

[Whispering] Captain Poseidon: Congratulations haha

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Bug Mang Game<<ㅇㅈㄹㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: I didn’t even know I was being dumped.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Is Earth Star broken?

After a while, a whisper came from Earth in different colored letters.

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: How can you kick someone without saying a


word?
[Guild] neutaaaa: Why? You promised to break up with me after the
event was over.

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: I know; But you can tell me in advance; Do you


know how surprised I was? Can’t you see that it’s slower now that
the buff has disappeared? I’ve never seen a real person like that
before, but he’s really cold.

“Oh, that’s a lot to say….”

Just looking at the text makes my ears feel itchy.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Stop whispering, my ears are itchy.

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: ?


Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: I guess I’ll catch up with the earth star
who got dumped by New hahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: #Reunion #Regrets

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Are you ashamed of being dumped!!

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

The speed at which guild chat increases has become faster. Earth
Star whispered the words, ‘I will never whisper to you again.’
[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅅㅂI will protect you like a sword for a long time.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Give me back my speedㅠ0ㅠ

[Guild] Park Hwibug: I don’t think he was upset because of the


speed haha.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: I wish the pervert next door was as sharp as New;

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅗ

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Pervert? You should call me master!

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅗ

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Come to think of it, I’m cheating on you


with New, leaving my master behind.

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: #Love triangle #NTR #Trash man

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅡㅡ ㅗㅗㅗ

What happened with the person next door? We were talking about
something similar when we just joined the guild. It seemed like things
weren’t going well. At that time, another guild member pulled out
from memory a story that Yeo-woon had been trying to ask Earth
Star separately but had forgotten.
[Guild] Wandu Wanda: But is it the stalker next door? Isn’t he the
person who used Earth Star’s Instagram before??

“Oh right. I was going to ask that too.”

Yeowoon muttered to himself. Even so, it was a story I was curious


about. When I logged into the game, I was so busy doing other
things that I couldn’t find the right time to ask….

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Huh? I don’t know that either.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: And since there was no evidence, I couldn’t ask


anything properly.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: His proof;

[Guild] Ji9 Star: So I just quietly watch a-

Evidence? Is it even worth using that word? Yeowoon didn’t try to


ask anything, but just blinked and wandered around the Earth Star.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Didn’t you move last year because of that
incident?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅇ!

Are you saying you moved here on purpose? I was so shocked that
I couldn’t even speak.
[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Something happened last year…Just doing it
together?

From what Yeowoon had heard, strange people suddenly came into
the guild and raised the conditions for membership. I heard that in
the process, they even went to the SNS account of one of the guild
members and caused a fuss. I couldn’t infer that it was serious
enough to force people to move from where they lived.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Anyway, at first I was suspicious and watched, but
the method was different from that one meal before. Does it seem
like there’s just a new pervert? ㄱㅊㄱㅊ

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Then isn’t it worse?

[Guild] Park Hwibug: One more strange person has been added
hahahahaha

[Guild] Ji9 Star: Mazm! (sss~)

[Guild] Halloween branch: Pervert magnet hahaha

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ㄱㅊㄱㅊ

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: If I fight with the guy next door, I think I’ll win haha

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: It seemed like a handful.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Don’t fight….


“….”

Yeo-woon erased all the words he had thoughtlessly typed in the


chat window. Maybe it’s because it’s a familiar story to all guild
members, but why is everyone so calm? Is it okay for me to laugh? I
wish people would tell me that if it’s okay to laugh, it’s okay to
laugh….

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Wow, someone ripped open the client


and leaked images of new pets appeared.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: If you don’t pick that one, you’ll be


screwed…. I’m going to die….

The topic of conversation shifted naturally. Guild members talked


non-stop in the guild chat room about Shinpet, the next event, and
even the siege war.

[Guild] Ji9 Star: Why are you digging up cabbage?

Earth Star, who was swearing at illusion and saying it was a ruined
game, jumped up to Yeowoon and wriggled next to her while making
a nudging motion. Yeo-woon, who was standing tall in the crop field,
stared at the Earth Star that was begging me and made a decision.
Now that we’re talking about it, let’s ask everything we’re curious
about.

[[Whisper] neutaaaa: I have a question.

[Whispering] i9 star: How far is it?


Not even 30 minutes had passed since she said she would never
whisper to me again, but the Earth Star answered in a whisper.
Among the purple guild chat speech bubbles, a speech bubble of a
different color stood out. The whispers mixed in among the purple
conversations were secret conversations that only two people could
read.

‘Who is that stalker? Haha why am I the only one who doesn’t
know?’

‘What’s the story about Instagram being robbed?’

‘Why did you decide to move?’

After repeatedly writing and deleting several sentences, Yeo-woon


finally looked at the only remaining word that could not be erased
and hit enter to send it.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Are you really okay?

After sending it, I was left worried and wondered if I had simplified it
too much. The Earth Star, which was bouncing around on Tulip,
landed in front of Yeowoon. And then it just stopped.

“….”

Why aren’t you replying? He was a fast typist, so I couldn’t


understand why he was just standing there looking at me. After a
while, yellow speech bubbles appeared one after another above
Earth Star’s head.
[Whisper] ㅈi9 Byul: Hahaha what did you mean hahahaha

[Whisper] ㅈi9 Byul: You’re really worried about me><?


Hahahahahahahaha

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: ㄷㄷ I’m a bit touched haha.

what. Yeo-woon, who had been writing the words ‘I don’t mind
worrying about you’ in the empty chat window, deleted them all with
the backspace key. When I thought about it, it seemed like the
planet Earth was expressing its gratitude in its own way. The Earth
Star he had seen was someone who really hated embarrassing
situations and would say thank you with an emoticon as a joke.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: I heard you even moved because of that, so


I’m asking permission to laugh at this.

[Whispering] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha I asked you


before now?

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: I was right that I was worried haha.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: What would you do if you were worried?

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Earth Star got off Tulip and sat down in front of Yeo Woon. Yeowoon
stopped digging cabbage and sat down on the spot, following the
Earth Star. The two characters sat facing each other between the
cabbage fields, occasionally tilting their heads in accordance with the
waiting motion.

After a while, a yellow speech bubble popped up above Earth Star’s


head.

[Whispering] i9 star: That voice channel is on>_<

[Whispering] neutaaaa: ??

[Whisper] ㅈi9 Star: Whole Blue

At those words, Yeowoon picked up the cell phone that was


connected to the charger. When I searched for the Whole Blue app
and entered it, I was able to see that a yellow circle was lit in the
chat room menu with Earth Star.

‘Voice channel > on. earth’

Suddenly having a voice conversation without saying a word?


Although Yeowoon was a little embarrassed, he found the earphones
he had stored nearby and put them in his ears. When Yeowoon
entered the voice channel and activated the microphone, the name
‘neutaaaa’ came online under the name ‘Earth’.

White noise mixed with a weak noise came from the earphones in
my ears. After waiting for a long time without anyone speaking first,
Yeowoon cautiously opened his mouth.

“…hello?”
-Yes, I can hear you.

The guy who had kept his mouth shut the whole time answered right
away. Yeowoon looked at the screen with his eyes wide open. The
Earth star character, still sitting, comes into view.

‘It’s very unexpected.’

When I heard what he was doing, I thought he was very young and
shy, but when I actually heard his voice, it was the complete
opposite of what I thought. Should I say that it is a more subdued
voice that is easier to listen to than expected? Since Illusion is not a
voice-based game, it was even more unfamiliar.

-what. Are you embarrassed now?

The other person grunted slightly. It seemed like there was a bit of
laughter mixed in.

-Is it true? Do you think you’re shaking when you hear my voice? I
have no words.

“huh? No, it’s not like that. Your voice is a little different from what I
thought.”

As the afterglow intermittently shared my thoughts, a faintly smiling


voice came from the earphones in my ears.

-Do you usually think about what my voice sounds like? Wow, does
that give you goosebumps?
“…Earth Star.”

-why?

“It’s gross.”

-what?

“You couldn’t speak Korean when you were in school, right?”

-…what! Are you suddenly making personal attacks?! Is it because I


got stabbed?

When Earthstar, who was sitting, suddenly stood up and used a


meaningless skill, the guild members remaining in the guild room
asked ‘?’ I wondered. Who was stabbed just now? . Yeowoon burst
into laughter.

“I’m going crazy, so sit down.”

-Well, actually, I hear that the actual voice is a little different from the
phone.

He quietly sat down and muttered bluntly. It seemed very emotional.


You were laughing earlier, but now you’re annoyed. The voice was
unexpected, but it was clear that he was from Earth.

“Ah yes….”
I wasn’t saying the voices were different…. There’s no way I know
your normal voice, right? However, it seemed unnecessary to say, ‘I
was surprised that you were less timid than I thought,’ so Yeo-woon
just kept his mouth shut.

“But why are you suddenly using voice chat?”

-It’s faster to say it with words. And since New is so interested in


me…

“Oh yes.”

-…Are you just interrupting me? You were just worried about me
earlier.

“What are you eating now?”

-Are you talking back? Candy.

For some reason, the pronunciation made me feel like I was holding
something in my mouth.

-Where should I start talking about this….

The Earth Star paused for a moment and spoke with a small
exclamation.

-Is it around the end of last year? From then on, strange people
came into the guild.
“A strange person?”

-yes. At that time, there was no level cut, so they just asked you to
do something like a three-line poem and signed you up regardless of
whether you were good at it or not, right? You also signed up. Even
though I told him to order me to do all kinds of things at Gujeolcho,
he’s being damned. What a shameful guy….

“ah. Three-line poem….”

Yeo-woon came in after writing a three-line poem and glanced at Cat


Meow, who had been chased by Earth Star. He was talking about
siege updates, not even knowing who was talking about him.

-But all the people who came in since last winter are all strange.
When ten people came in, nine of them did the same thing. They
just asked us to go back as if it was normal, and ignored us because
we were young. Are you even asking me to use nuclear weapons?
I’m so annoyed….

Yep. Yeowoon, who was listening to the story, suddenly became a


little embarrassed by the lower tone of his voice.

“Hey, over there. Are you crying?”

-Eh? Why am I crying?

I wondered as my low voice returned to its original tone. It was a


needless worry. Yeowoon scratched his cheek shyly.
“No, I thought you were crying…. So?”

-At that time, they cleverly modified the content of the conversation
in Guild Talk and entered the private sector. With good timing, it
overlapped with the nuclear rumor and I was criticized everywhere I
went.

“Yes.”

-Even now, people really hate our guild. Aren’t you inciting me to call
it trash?

“Oh, I do. It’s trash.”

-…But why do you play with us if you know?

“That’s right.”

Fuck, you came along to harass me all day!

“…just?”

-just?

Of course, at first, no matter what Earth Star did, I was annoyed


and wanted to punch her, but when I got involved with the Poseidon
guild members, they were completely different from what others
were criticizing.
They discriminate against people by setting a fee cut, factions have
already formed in the guild and they reject and ostracize
newcomers, the guild master has 9 criminal records, and the guild is
in collusion with Illusion…. All sorts of truly absurd rumors followed
Poseidon.

“Just like that. He didn’t seem like that kind of person.”

-….

“It’s true.”

-joy. You have eyes for people.

The way the tail of one’s words drooped sounded oddly satisfying.

-And I didn’t know, but I think the ID was vaguely displayed as a


notification in the captured photo I uploaded to Giltalk a long time
ago.

“id?”

-yes. As if the coordinates had been posted on the bulletin board,


suddenly there were a lot of comments.

“Wow, that’s too much.”

-Of course, all the guild members who joined that day were forced to
withdraw.
“Is the account still available?”

-no. I disabled it and deleted it. My photo is in the feed, and it’s
annoying to keep getting notifications asking me to verify my number
and trying to log in….

The more I listened, the more there was no answer. How can you
invade someone’s personal space and do something like that? I
frowned at the unimaginable gloom.

“The reason you moved….”

-…Strange mail keeps arriving. I don’t even know how I got it.

“mail?”

-But the strange thing is that no one in the guild knows my address.
I think I figured it out by looking at photos of the neighborhood, but
even if I reported something like this, it wasn’t handled properly.
There seems to be no intention to harm at all. …Does that make
sense?

“What kind of mail is this?”

-…there is. Something strange.

He slurred his words. He didn’t seem to want to talk more about the
mail. He added, telling Yeo-woon to ask more questions.
-ah. Of course that happens! Originally, I fought with my eldest
brother and tried to leave the house.

“You had a fight?”

-That guy always says something about what I eat. You should do
your best…. I was so annoyed that I just decided to leave the
house. So, you don’t have to worry that much about moving.

“Did you catch the stalker?”

-I didn’t catch it.

“What about reporting?”

-…I tried, but they said they couldn’t catch it. castle…No, they say
it’s not enough to just send a few mails, but I almost got my mom
killed because of that. There was also a note telling them not to
reveal themselves to me. If that’s not a threat to your life, what is?

As Yeowoon listened to her story, Earth Star became even more


engrossed and began to air her complaints. Contrary to the first
impression of his voice, which seemed to be quiet, he was secretly
talkative.

Tired of sitting still, Earth Star got up and started digging cabbage
instead of Yeo-woon. The cabbage he collected went straight into
Yeo-woon’s pocket thanks to the rooting function that Yeo-woon had
turned on.
-Oh right. Today, the pervert next door gave me candy.

“it is delicious?”

-very. …But you were still worried about me, right?

Were you worried about yourself? Yeowoon was taken aback by the
sudden strange turn of the conversation, but nodded his head in
response.

“little?”

-Wow, it’s true…?

He muttered to himself. It seemed quite surprising that Yeo-woon


agreed that it was true that he was worried even after asking the
question. The Earth Star took a long pause before opening its
mouth.

-Can I talk to you about my concerns sometimes?

“yes.”

-Then can I call you brother?

“no.”

I don’t like that. Yeowoon answered in a calm voice.


-….

The Earth Star seemed at a loss for words in response, just


breathing in and out repeatedly. And after a while, out of nowhere, a
pink effect appears on the screen and ‘Ji9 Star has applied for
dating! The message ‘Do you want to accept it?’ came to mind.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: What is it?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: ?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Huh?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ? 1 hour

-What the fuck? Are you saying that to me?

He asked in a calm voice. It was absurd. Don’t you know what


you’ve done? Yeowoon burst into laughter and asked.

“Earthstar, do you really like me?”

-yes? Am I crazy?

No, then why? Yeowoon took his hand off the mouse with a troubled
look on his face.
-It would be nice to get the couple effect. Do you really think I would
ask men to date each other? Unless you actually get shot in the
head…. I’m not gay? Absolutely not. Do you really hate that guy? I
was left behind and the number of absences at that time was no
joke. Would you like to see it? I don’t really talk to my brother, right?
Is that guy really gay?

“No, I….”

Why is he talking so hard all of a sudden? Yeo-woon was


embarrassed by the voice pouring out like a bomb, and his eyes
were blank. Earth Star waited for a moment for there to be no
answer, and then spoke bluntly.

-Anyway, you always run dungeons with me.

“Ah, it’s okay. Do it with someone else! “It’s disgusting to see a heart
mark appear when the range overlaps when you’re far away.”

-Ha, I’m totally disgusted too, right? This is inevitable because of its
effectiveness…!

I’m not sure about the additional effects. There was no sign of a
dramatic increase in speed or attack power. More than that, the
heart popping effect that appeared when a couple came within a
certain range was truly unbearable.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha to
who touring the internet?

[Guild] Park Hwibug: ? Why? Me and my cat are hanging out…It’s


just over

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Then I will gather everyone in the guild


room.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: ?? Did anything happen?

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Cat Cat Cat Cat: ㄷㄷ??

‘Captain Poseidon used the gathering of all forces. If you accept,


you will be taken to the guild room.’

A message appeared on Yeowoon’s monitor window. I pressed the


accept button, but since Yeowoon was already in the guild room, no
change occurred. The guild members who started showing up one
by one started laughing like crazy as they saw Earth Star kneeling in
the cabbage field and holding out her ring.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Hahahahahahahahahaha


[Guild] Park Hwi Bug-rae: #a shabby man #reunion #a man with
regrets

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: A lousy man hahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: No, these two are really together???


Hahahahahaha

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: We broke up earlier


hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

“….”

I was so shocked that I couldn’t even say anything. What are we


really going to do? I could hear the Earth Star giggling in my ear,
wondering how funny it was that she had done it herself. After
thinking calmly, Yeowoon opened his mouth.

“What happens if I refuse?”

-Are there a lot of rings? I bought a lot before, but I don’t mind using
it all today.

I thought so. It’s not that surprising as I expected it.


“Then what will you do if I accept your companionship?”

-I’ll give you 1 billion.

“more.”

-2 billion won.

“great.”

If it’s like this, I need to make money and buy some equipment.
Yeowoon decided to just give up. Maybe we’ll take the chance later
and break up again, okay?

‘The couple has been established! Please check your skills in the
couple window♡’

‘The [Couple] tab has been created in the chat window. Secret
conversations between lovers are now possible!’

-I’ll send you the money by mail later!

When I confirmed that the couple section was activated in the chat
window again and that the number of dating days had been reset to
0 days, I was able to confirm that the earth star had left the voice
channel with a popping sound.

“… What is he?”
After finishing what he had to say, he left right away. This was my
first time having a call cut off like this, so I just laughed.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Haha

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: It’s getting faster~

Earth Star was walking around the guild room looking very excited
for some reason. He really seemed like a speed freak. This isn’t an
option that was designed for this….

[Guild] neutaaaa: No, because of the speed effect…ㅜㅜ

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Sigh Ssssssssssssssssss.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: You were threatened….

[Guild] neutaaaa: Yes^^; It’s business

[Guild] neutaaaa: It would be nice if I could get the notarization


effect too…We decided to take only what we needed….

Yeowoon offered an excuse to the guild members surrounding him.


Even though he explained that it was a business relationship, he was
a little puzzled as to why he had to say such a thing.

[Guild] Halloween branch: Business couple? Hahahahahahaha


[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Suddenly hearing business words while
playing a game gave me PTSD ㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: I don’t want to go to work tomorrow…What if


the Earth suddenly collapsed?

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug-rae: #Contractual Love #Unrequited Love Man

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Earth Star, please don’t swear in a whisper ㅜ

‘Ji9 Star has been demoted to a regular guild member.’

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Captain; Bugilma is playing around with his position
again.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: That’s not me hahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: I got off.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: What is it?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Thank you for your hard work, Newta.

[Guild] neutaaaa: What….


“ha….”

The chat window was noisy. Feeling a little drained, Yeowoon sighed,
pulled out the earphones from his ears, and closed his eyes.

***

‘I knew it. It looked like it was going to rain….’

The air felt moist since morning. I had no choice but to buy a
transparent umbrella at the convenience store near the swimming
pool. People were seen coming out of the locker room one by one
and then stopping due to the unexpected rain. Beyond the
transparent glass door was a green summer. The rain was falling
hard and trickling down the transparent window.

“Get out of the way.”

Yeowoon raised his head when he heard an irritated voice coming


from behind. It was the man next door. The ends of her black hair
were still wet and clumped, as if she had just dried it roughly.

“If you don’t dry your hair properly, you’ll catch a cold.”

The man frowned at Yeowoon’s words.


“Who cares? How come….”

Personality indeed. I don’t care if you worry….

“Oh, come out! “I will pass by.”

“Ah yes.”

I was standing still in front of the door, unwrapping my umbrella, and


it seemed like I was in the way. Yeowoon nodded his head in
embarrassment and moved his body to the side, making a path for
people to pass by. The man next door gave Yeo-woon a glance and
then turned his head.

‘huh? ‘I brought an umbrella.’

The weather forecast this morning said there would be no rain. I


thought you had figured it out. While Yeo-woon was scraping off the
sticker on the umbrella handle with his fingernails, the man took a
pitch-black umbrella out of his sports bag and dusted it on the floor.
He held the umbrella forward and pressed the button on the handle.

bang!

“crazy!”

As soon as he pressed the button, the head of the umbrella flew into
the distance, and the man couldn’t hide his embarrassment and
shook his shoulders.
“….”

“….”

Before he went to pick up the umbrella, he first noticed Yeo-woon’s


gaze. When my eyes met his wide-open eyes, I burst into laughter.
As the corners of Yeowoon’s mouth slowly turned up, his eyes
began to waver slightly, and soon his ears turned red. If you just look
at him, it looks like the man is very shy.

He bit his lip, then belatedly ran into the rain and hugged the head of
the wide open umbrella. It was funny to see him come back into the
building with the umbrella he picked up on his head. Taking shelter
from the rain under the building, he put the long pole back into the
umbrella and lifted it up, but it only rattled uneasily. In the end, the
man made a vain expression as he watched the umbrella fall to the
floor helplessly.

“Is your umbrella broken?”

“ha… Don’t you know it when you see it?”

In response to Yeowoon’s question, the man touched his forehead.


He seemed to be trying to fix the broken umbrella over and over
again, but he sighed repeatedly as if it wasn’t working as he wanted.
Yeo-woon glanced at the man whose shoulders were wet from the
rain, opened his umbrella, and tilted it over his head.

“Would you like to share it with me?”


The man’s eyes narrow at my words. Men are really sensitive.

“What kind of trick is this again?”

“huh? “It just seems like the direction we’re going.”

“It’s okay, it’s okay. If you buy a new one…!”

“Why are you buying it nearby? “It’s a waste of money.”

“…!”

He was startled and widened his eyes when Yeo-woon came close
to him. Yeo-woon grabbed the strap of the bag he was wearing and
stepped out into the rain, and the man who followed him blindly
blinked foolishly, holding a broken umbrella in his hand.

Talk, todok. The falling rain glided across the umbrella. There were
still 15 minutes left until the village bus arrived. Yeo-woon decided
that it would be better to just walk and passed the stop.

“… Please give me an umbrella.”

The man who had been walking in silence spoke for the first time.
Yeowoon turned her head to the right and looked up at him. It was
new, but it was my first time seeing each other face to face this
close. The black dot under my left eye was particularly noticeable.
Yeo-woon, distracted by the eye-catching face, stopped and stared
at him. Then the man waved his hand with a puzzled face.
“Do you want an umbrella?”

umbrella? Yeowoon pulled the hand holding the handle to her chest
and looked at him suspiciously.

“yes? umbrella…why? “It’s mine.”

“No, I’m carrying it.”

“…?”

“Because it’s uncomfortable.”

Only then did I realize that the man, who was taller than me, was
slightly hunched over. Yeowoon, who didn’t know that fact, let out a
small exclamation and obediently handed the umbrella into his hand.
My hand lightly brushed against the cool, moist back of my hand.
The man, who paused for a moment, started walking again while
looking ahead. Because of the moisture on the floor, I felt like my
feet were sloshing every time I stepped on the ground. High school
students were seen running with their bags over their heads at the
sudden news of rain.

My shoulders were wet. The umbrella isn’t that big so it looks like
one shoulder is wet.

‘…’No, wait a minute.’

This bastard. Is it possible that you are only using an umbrella and
not holding an umbrella for me? Yeo-woon raised her head with
reasonable suspicion and quietly closed her mouth when she saw
the man’s shoulder, which was wet over a wider area than mine.
Rather, the umbrella was tilted more toward me. The man noticed
his gaze and glanced at himself.

“why.”

huh? I have nothing to say? Yeowoon shook his head without saying
anything. I put my hand in my pocket and found some candy. It’s
been a week since I kept it in my pocket because I always forgot to
put it in my office drawer. Yeowoon opened the wrapper, put a candy
in his mouth, and put one in the man’s pocket. He was startled and
turned his head.

“It’s candy.”

He looked down in bewilderment at the lingering voice speaking with


one cheek bulging, and then asked.

“You’ve been putting things like this in your pocket before. Is this a
habit?”

“It’s not a habit, is it? I’m just giving it to you….”

A faint sigh reached my right ear.

“Why do you keep giving me food whenever you see me?”

“…?”
“You suddenly put candy in it on Thursday and again today…. Is it
like this to everyone else too? That no…No, even to the people I
brought to my house on moving day?”

My friends? Why is their story suddenly coming out? Yeowoon was


confused, but nodded.

“…That’s me this time.”

“yes.”

The man, who was left speechless by Yeo-woon’s calm reply, looked
at Yeo-woon for a while and then said, ‘As long as he looks fine.’ He
muttered as if he was tired. What does this have to do with being
given candy?

“I guess eating alone is a bit of a waste. why? “Do you hate


sweets?”

The man thought for a moment and shook his head.

“But I brushed my teeth earlier so I’m not going to eat now?”

“Please….”

Then eat it later. Yeowoon nodded his head roughly, humming to


himself as he listened to the sound of a song coming from a store
he was passing by. The man kept licking his lips to himself as
Yeowoon showed no interest in what I had to say.
Yeo-woon tried to talk to the man a few more times, asking if it was
final exam season for college students these days, but the man just
ignored all of her words, telling her not to worry. The two people
soon reached the front of the house, but instead of entering the
building, they walked towards the cafe in front of it.

“that, … Wait here for a moment.”

“…?”

The man who forcibly led Yeo-woon to the cafe handed him the
umbrella, then opened the cafe door and went inside. The people
inside the counter waved their hands, and a middle-aged woman
slapped the man on the shoulder.

Why are you asking me to wait? . Yeowoon waited patiently for him,
even as the toes of her shoes splashed in the puddle. Not long after,
the cafe door opened again. When I looked up at the jingling sound,
a man wearing a brown shirt and black apron was standing in front
of me.

“Take this.”

Yeowoon suddenly reached out his hand and took what he handed
to him. With a rustling sound, two clam-shaped breads contained in
transparent plastic were caught heavily.

“what?”

“It’s a lemon madeleine.”


“wow….”

“I didn’t make it, so don’t look at me like that.”

What did I look at?

“But is it okay for part-time workers to give things like this as they
please?”

“I’m not a part-time worker, am I? My card was taken away and I


was forced to… This is my mom’s store.”

“wow…!”

Then you’ll get free coffee. Envy you. As I inadvertently looked into
the store, the woman who had been hitting the man earlier smiled
faintly and nodded. Although she did not resemble the sharp-faced
man at all, given the circumstances, it was possible to guess that
she was the man’s mother. The man seems to resemble his father.

“But don’t be mistaken. I’m not giving it to you because I like it.”

“Thank you?”

“Okay, thank you… yes?”

“Aren’t you giving it to me as a thank you for holding the umbrella?”


The man pursed his lips and answered.

“…Right, that’s right. umbrella…go…thanks….”

The man who had been muttering, avoiding eye contact, wondering
why it was so difficult to say thank you, lowered his head. Also, when
I saw that his ears were bright red, I thought he was really young.
Watching what he was doing was like watching a younger cousin
who had just entered puberty, and it was just so cute.

“I’ll eat well, Ji-gu Yoon.”

“So…. uh? … What is my name?”

I knew it would be like this.

“You could have secretly looked at my mailbox…!”

“It’s a name tag.”

“…!”

When Yeowoon responded by tapping his chest, his eyes widened. I


was able to find out thanks to the name tag affixed to the apron. The
man hurriedly raised his hand to cover his chest, but there was no
way to make him forget what he had already seen.

“Hey, that’s not my name!”


“Yoon Ji-gu, come in quickly!”

“Oh, Mom!”

“Use it!”

Yeowoon gently waved as he watched the man being dragged by his


mother’s hand. Yeo-woon turned his back on me as I watched him
walk away with a still embarrassed look on his face. He took the
elevator up to the house, looked at the door next door, and suddenly
thought.

earth? It’s a unique and pretty name.

***

The guild chat was just about the newly updated guild siege battle all
day long. It seemed like everyone was looking forward to it as they
repeated the same story starting from when Yeowoon logged in and
continued until he came back after having dinner.

There are about fifteen large cities on Illusion’s world map. Isis was
the largest and most active city among them. And there are several
maps under each city where hunting is possible. In other words, the
Illusion map is made up of fifteen cities and dozens of hunting maps.
[Guild] Park Hwibug: So we only play occupation wars?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Yes! I decided to skip the base war due to
people not having time.

Small hunting maps, or ‘node wars’ where guilds fight over a base,
take place on weekdays, while ‘conquest wars’ where guilds fight
over a city take place only on weekends. Therefore, the Poseidon
Guild, which had a higher connection rate on weekends than on
weekdays, seemed to have skipped the base battle and put
everything into taking over a city in a big way.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: LOL If you win the conquest war, it’s like
you’ve taken over the bases at the bottom of the city.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: That’s good, but I heard you applied for Isis….

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Hahahahahaha Our guild has big dreams too
ㅠㅠ

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: I heard that I can change what I registered


today if I change it within today. How about using the guild union
instead?

[Guild] Halloween Branch: B!

[Guild] Park Hwibug: No, please calm down and think about it. They
said they submitted an application to Isis for surgery. What are they
doing?
[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Well haha

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Well haha

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Oh

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Hahahaha dictatorship is so bad

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ㄷㄷ

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Are you crazy?ㅠㅜ

Surgery was the number one guild at the moment. As you pass
through Isis, there are sometimes rankers that stand out, and above
their heads are the guild names of Surgery. Including surgery, all of
the ranked guilds had registered for the Isis Conquest War to take
over Isis, the largest city, so it was natural to worry about it.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Dream big

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Surgery is weak in group battles. The


people who were active in the guild war last year also caused
infighting within the guild and are now all out haha.

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahaha I went there because they


were all Seonyul?

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: I heard earlier that Melody also submitted an


application to Isis.
[Guild] Park Hwibugae: ㅠㅠ;;

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Everyone, have confidence!

While everyone was worried about whether they could win, Yeo-
woon just thought, ‘The siege will be fun….’ I just thought about it
and looked at the monitor blankly.

‘ㅈi9Star has accessed the game.’

[Guild] Halloween Branch: It’s late today

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hahaha

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahaha

[Guild] neutaaaa: haha

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: New, Earth Star, look what you’re talking
about when you come in.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: ㄱㄴㄲㅋㅋㅋ Diving Line

They’re driving it again. Poseidon guild members were a race that


enjoyed other people’s misfortunes and difficulties more than anyone
else. If it were someone else’s problem, I would enjoy it too, but if it
happens to be something I was involved in, I would be annoyed.
[Couple] ㅈi9Star: New, how long did you complete the 4th job
change quest?

As soon as I entered the game, I started to worry about Yeowoon’s


job change, not that Earth Star was my job. It seemed like he really
enjoyed helping others. Or maybe there’s nothing to do….

[Couple] neutaaaa: It’s Highway Lab, but it looks like it’s halfway
done?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Haha, I couldn’t even do the tutorial.

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㅡㅡ;

When you reach level 200, the 4th job change quest appears.
However, Yeowoon was unable to complete the quest until he
reached level 203. It was said that he finished the whole thing in an
entire night, but it was impossible to do in one day, so he felt like an
even more amazing and crazy person.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Star: Whole Blue

Earth Star said a word and immediately went into Whole Blue voice
chat. Yeo-woon entered the channel late, and the Earth Star
welcomed Yeo-woon.

“hello?”

-Yes, I see you.


“….”

You shouldn’t deal with words like this. Yeowoon quietly hung up the
phone.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Get the jokes in a documentary

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh, come on in.

Yeowoon understood something about Earth. He is a guy who gets


more excited when you react, so it was necessary to ignore him to a
certain extent.

-What are you eating now? Are you shamefully eating alone?

The Earth Star complained in an unpleasant way. Yeowoon


swallowed everything in his mouth and answered.

“I don’t know the name because I just received it. lemon… What
kind of bread did you say?”

-What is lemon bread?

“You know what. Seashell-shaped yellow bread.”

I forgot what the name was. What was it? It wasn’t a cookie….
Yeowoon repeatedly muttered the types of bread he could not
remember. Then, I heard a word that Earth Star threw and I thought
that was it.
-Madeleine?

“Ah yes. I said it was a lemon madeleine.”

-…Who did you get it from?

“yes. They said they would give it to me….”

-….

The headphone connection was suddenly disconnected, so I couldn’t


hear my voice. Yeowoon checked to see if there was a connection
problem on the voice channel and asked again.

“hello?”

-…There are many coincidences. I also gave a madeleine to


someone today.

Yeowoon wiped the milk from the corner of her mouth and reacted
to his words. Ugh, yes. I could hear the Earth Star laughing at my
vague words. by the way….

“I didn’t ask you?”

-Oh really. You always do this to me.


The voice, which had strangely become lower, returned to its usual
tone. A grunting voice tormented Yeo Woon wildly in his ears, and
soon the Earth Star appeared on the Highway Research Institute
map. He was flying frantically next to Yeowoon, who was digging up
lilies of the valley, and asked after seeing the guild chat.

-uh? what. I heard you decided on Isis before the occupation?

“yes.”

-You’re crazy. Aren’t you going to be eliminated in the first round?

As expected, the planet Earth seemed to think so. Everyone except


the guild master and assistant guild master are skeptical about Isis,
so why don’t they change their opinions?

-But New, is there someone you like?

This is real. The bugs and Halloween eggplants were so prevalent


that I thought they might have infiltrated the area as well. Yeowoon
responded with a small sigh.

“Don’t say anything gross.”

-…No, I think my voice sounds a bit similar to someone I know.

“Don’t say anything weird.”

-Oh, there it is again! Always just for me!


Noisy. Yeowoon lowered the volume on his headphones a little and
ignored Earthstar’s complaints. There are many coincidences. I
heard Earth Star’s voice muttering softly in my ear. You really talk to
yourself a lot. Yeowoon shook his head, thinking that although I tend
to talk to myself a lot, I can’t keep up with Earth.

***

‘The conditions for collecting blue halo flowers have been met.’

In order to change jobs from Shadow Warrior to Hero, you had to go


through the 4th job change quest, and unlike the previous job
changes, the 4th job was purely simple labor.

“How did you do this on your own in one day….”

Yeowoon muttered to himself and let out a small sigh. There were
two types of quests, a hunting quest where you had to catch
monsters on the map and view job change scenarios, and a
gathering quest where you had to collect about 500 flowers blooming
on the map and bring them to the NPC.

“I think it will end today.”

Hehehe. Yeowoon sighed and slumped his shoulders. Yesterday, I


completed two gathering quests by myself, but just doing that was
exhausting and I was exhausted. Fortunately, there are people
helping me today, so it goes smoothly…Still, it’s too much. He
groaned and stretched his hands above his head.

‘The conditions for the wild boar subjugation quest have been met.’

While Yeowoon was collecting plants, several guild members who


had free time joined the party and were defeating monsters on the
map. Thanks to this, Yeowoon was able to peacefully gather and
complete three or four quests at the same time without being hit by
a single monster.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: How many are left?

[Party] neutaaaa: All the pigs have been killed and the blue flowers
are finished.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Hmm…What about red flowers?

“Let me see, red flower, red flower….”

This is what we’re talking about, right? Yeowoon looked up the quest
conditions on the screen using the mouse wheel and answered.

[Party] neutaaaa: There are still about 100?

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: ㅇㅋㅇㅋ Follow Me


Halloween Eggplant, wearing strange-looking sunglasses, rolled in
front of Yeowoon and jumped in front of him. Then he ran to the left
first and signaled for people to follow him.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Want to skip the map?

Wandu Wanda, riding in a green ball, ran ahead of Yeo Woon. It’s
not the same as on Earth, but everyone seems to have a movement
speed option as standard.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: ㅇㅇ Once the blue flower and wild boar
are over, map 3 is good to do other quests together.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: There’s a butter tiger and yellow flowers


there too.

[Party] Wandu Wanda: Wow, how do you remember all that?

[Party] Wandu Wanda: It’s been so long since I completed the 4th
quest that I don’t remember a thing lol.

That made sense. That’s right, I remember everything, even the


names of the monsters. You seem to have a really good memory.
Yeowoon also nodded and praised him.

[Party] neutaaaa: Wow, you’re really amazing!

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: ? How can you remember it all?


[Party] Halloween Eggplant: I’m also looking at the strategy~^-^

[Party] Wandu Wandya: I thought you were smart.

You weren’t a genius enough to remember everything. Anyway, I


should have read the strategy post. It seems like they always help
me change jobs for no reason and end up being a nuisance…. I
wanted to do something for them, but everyone was so busy that I
couldn’t just give them any items.

Last time, I gave money to Halloween Eggplant, saying it was a part-


time job, but I got mailed by more than 10 people, thinking I was
crazy about the newbie theme. Thanks to that, Yeowoon
unintentionally became rich.

Yeowoon, who was scratching the keyboard with his fingernails,


entered the item window to express his gratitude to the guild
members who helped him with his work as if it were their own. Then,
I grabbed the disposable firework item I had saved in the
consumption window and pulled it out.

When the fireworks exploded, there was a popping sound and


colorful confetti flew in the air.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: What are you doing? Hahaha

[Party] Wandu Wandya: What a mess.

“….”
The reactions were colder than expected.

[Party] neutaaaa: Thank youㅠㅠ

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: What is it?

[Party] neutaaaa: For your help….

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Ah

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahaha

[Party] Halloween Eggplant:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahaha so funny again again.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hmm hahaha please be thankful haha

[Party] Wandu Wanda: It’s funnier because of its appearanceㅠ

[Party] Wandu Wanda. Beginner moments like that are sometimes


so funnyㅠㅜ

[Party] Wandu Wanda: It won’t be easy to do that until you’re over


level 200.
“…?”

Yeowoon looked closely at my character. It’s just that I haven’t


added any afterimage items or glitter yet, and it’s not that ugly of a
character. In the first place, Illusion had well-chosen designs,
starting with the basic characters given at the start. Plus, he’s
wearing a nice cape, so what can I say?

[Party] neutaaaa: Why does it look like that?

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Are you asking because you really don’t
know? LOL

[Party] neutaaaa: I really look like a badass right now?ㄷㄷ

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: LOL

[Party] Halloween Eggplant:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] Wandu Wanda: Go pick up flowers hahaha.

Fuck…. Did I say thank you for no reason? Yeo-woon, who had
been futile and couldn’t even get his money’s worth, decided to just
shut up and dig up flowers. At that time, Earth Star, who was
hanging on the ladder, suddenly jumped down in front of Yeowoon
and asked.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: What about me?>_<


[Party] Wandu Wandya: Interest cycle time for each district

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Don’t you thank me?

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: LOL Let’s start!

[Party] neutaaaa: ㄱㅅ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Please tell me at length

[Party] neutaaaa: ㄱ~~~~~~ㅅ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Guinea…^^

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Mukgeumhanae

No, I didn’t say anything, and I’m thankful, but….

-Thank you, though?

“…!”

Suddenly a voice came through the headset. The Earth Star, which I
thought had gone away because it had been silent for some time,
suddenly whispered in my ear. Surprised that a human voice
suddenly mixed in with the background sound of the game, Yeowoon
opened his eyes wide and looked at the Whole Blue voice chat box.
Next to the name ‘Earth’, a green light was lit indicating that the
connection was being made.

-Are you thankful to me? I knew that would happen.

“….”

-But do you often talk to yourself like this while chatting? I didn’t
know.

There was a hint of laughter in his voice. No, then are you listening
to everything I said this whole time? Yeo-woon stood still in
embarrassment and ran away to a corner where the Earth Star was
not within the screen.

“Why are you listening but not saying anything? “I thought you went
out.”

-huh? I didn’t go out, but just turned off my microphone for a


moment.

“Why the microphone?”

-Well, I have something to think about alone for a moment.

“…?”

Wow, that’s amazing. The planet Earth thinks….


-What is it, Sibi?

“….”

Because of my habit of talking to myself, it seemed like I was just


saying my thoughts out loud without realizing it. Yeowoon kept his
mouth shut and decided to keep his thoughts to himself from now
on.

“What were you thinking?”

- That’s your idea.

“…my thought?”

At that moment, a strange thought occurred to me. Yeowoon


hesitated for a moment and instead of answering, wrote down what
he wanted to say in the chat window.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Pervert

-what? transformation?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Don’t talk to meㅠㅠ

-You must be crazy! Isn’t that what you think?


The Earth Star was scared. Yeowoon suppressed his laughter and
continued to tremble. It seemed like the guild members were making
fun of Earth Star because of this taste.

-If you keep doing this, I will sue you for defamation.

“Is there any honor?”

-…Anyway, are you going to sue?

Earth Star seemed excited about catching Geonsu and kept ringing
loudly in her ear. I wondered how I could have held back from
wanting to say something like that for so long. I’d be lying if I said I
thought about it….

‘The conditions for the quest to slay a grumpy tiger have been met.’

[Party] neutaaaa: Ah, the battle is over.

After exploring the map with the four of us for about an hour, the last
remaining quest condition was satisfied. Now, if you talk to the NPC
at the entrance of the lab and receive the quest reward, the 4th job
change quest will be completely completed.

[Party] neutaaaa: ㅠㅠI’ll change jobs and come back! Thank you for
your help today

[Party] Wandu Wanda: Ha, finally haha, my wrist was about to go


out.
[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Change your job and come out

‘Halloween has left the party.’

‘Wandu Wandya has left the party.’

Two guild members withdrew from the party, and Yeowoon started
running to the entrance of the lab alone. Meanwhile, Earth Star had
not yet left the party and was filing a complaint and singing in his
ears. I felt like my ears were rotting from the ridiculous pitch and
lyrics.

‘Quest completed!’

Yeowoon used the capsule given as a quest reward to move to his


previous sanctuary. The main character, who was leading the main
scenario, appeared before my eyes in hologram form, with a
background effect that looked like fluttering starlight.

‘Welcome, adventure….’

Everyone come out!

I was so excited that I skipped the main story by hitting the space
bar. It was also because I wasn’t very curious about the previous
story because it wasn’t interesting. Then, finally, a large window for
selecting a job change appeared on the game screen.

‘Would you like to change into a hero?’


▷1.Change jobs

▷2.Not done yet

Are you saying this? Why would I come here? Yeowoon pressed the
number 1, and the job icon next to the nickname changed along with
a pillar of light rising toward the sky.

‘Lv.206 neutaaaa’

‘Congratulations! You’ve become a hero!’

‘Skill has been reset. Please press the shortcut key ‘K’ to check your
skills.’

‘A defensive passive skill has been created.’

“Oh right. weapon….”

As his job changed, he could no longer use the weapons of his


previous job, so Yeo-woon was once again bare-handed. It was the
same situation as when I changed jobs to Shadow Warrior. Another
problem was that no hero weapons were found after hunting for
several days.

-why. Don’t you have any weapons?

“I’m just going to put it together and make it.”


-You have incredible courage. I’m not at the level to make weapons.
Why not just buy one?

level?

At Earthstar’s sneer, Yeowoon clicked on the menu and entered the


‘Combination’ section. He had the experience of reaching max level
as a chef in a previous game, where he cooked food by combining
various items. On top of that, I got a job at the biggest restaurant as
a server, so when I told them my nickname, everyone was like, ‘Oh,
that chef?’ I knew it.

Even when she first joined Illusion, Yeo-Woon would rather combine
equipment and accessories with low-level fragments and sell them at
the auction house rather than hunting. I’ve been neglecting
production recently….

“That combination is level 30. Does it have to be higher than this?”

-…uh?

‘This is the maximum level. You can’t level up anymore!’

Even when I clicked the ‘+’ button next to the combination level, a
message like this only appeared.

“It’s the maximum level?”

-…?
The Earth Star was silent for a moment, as if at a loss for words. It
seemed like he had never imagined that I would have reached level
30 in combination.

-What are you doing to raise the combination level to 30?

“I just did some digging in the beginning….”

Yeowoon looked for the hero icon in the weapon combination section
and looked through the materials needed for a level 200 weapon.
Boss monster items such as ‘Black Tiger Core’ and ‘Dragon King’s
Queen’ are sold cheaply at the auction house, so I thought I could
buy them. There were many people selling other ingredients at the
party matching window.

-wait a minute. Then, I have a collection of top-quality fragments, so


you can give me those.

[Guild] Ji9 Star: Does anyone have any high-quality fragments left?

‘Advanced fragments’ were materials needed to craft or strengthen


weapons or equipment. When you disassemble equipment found
while hunting, you will get fragments. By combining the fragments
with other materials, you can create equipment or add options to
existing equipment.

In fact, since Illusion was not a strengthening game, not many


people tried their hand at combinations. There was no one to tell
me, so I found out later by looking for it, but by then Yeowoon had
already reached union level 30.
[Guild] al0ha: I’ll sell a high-quality set for 500 haha.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: I have 300ㅍ Hanset

[Guild] al0ha: ? 250

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: 200 haha

[Guild] aloha: Are you working on it? 150ㅍ

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Then, if I buy 2 sets for 150, I get 1 more set
hahahaha.

[Guild] al0ha: Haha Park Hwi, where are you?^^

[Guild] Park Hwibug: ㄷㄷ What will you do if you find outㅠㅠ A


person who is an American friend coming to defeat the healer

“It looks like you’re fighting….”

-It’s gonna be fun!

“…?”

What is he saying now. Shouldn’t it be stopped? Yeowoon held his


breath and stared at the chat window, worried that something
serious might happen. At that time, cat cat cat cat got one more
drink.
[Guild] Cat Cat Me Cat: Aloha!! Park Hwi is now in the guild zone!
It’s in front of me

[Guild] al0ha: 100 million if you hold on until I go

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Deal haha

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Please lower Valkyrie job skills;

[Guild] Park Hwibug: 200 million if you let me go

[Guild] al0ha: Double the dream, no matter what.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: 400 million? Unconditionally a

[Guild] Park Hwibug: I’ll give you 800 million ㅠㅠ

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I heard Park Hwi’s total assets are
500 million won now haha.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: 1 shot haha

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahahaha

Earth Star’s question led to a dog fight between two people. Park
Hwi-lae was probably beaten to death by Aloha in the end, and he
was irritated in the guild chat window, saying,
“Nyannyangnyananyang.” Meanwhile, it seems that
Nyangynyangnanyang quickly took the money and ran away to the
hot springs.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: But why the high-quality fragments? I


saved 20 sets in the warehouse to raise alts later.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Oh

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: But I have nothing to give you, Earth


Star^^;

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Haha, I heard you’re making weapons, Nyuta.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ?

[Guild] neutaaaa: I’ll buy ten sets of high-quality fragments!

Silence came to the guild chat window. After a while, Captain


Poseidon seemed to have discovered in the guild management
window that Yeowoon’s job had changed.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: When did you change your job to a new
hero? ?

Soon after, congratulatory messages from server micro guild


members began to appear.

[Server] Captain Poseidon: [neutaaaa] Congratulations on your job


change! lol
[Server] Wandu Wanda: ♥♥ Strongest Hero [neutaaaa]
Congratulations on your job change!! Now let’s change our outfits!♥♥

[Server] Park Hwibugae: [neutaaaa] <<<< #0th place in the world


#hero #hiding his power

[Server] al0ha: Newta, stop getting overly immersed in this life and
live a more diligent life at the game~^^; Living alone in this life;

[Server] ㅈi9Star: Guys, you worked hard for 3 years and we’ll see
you later with a smile!

[Server] Halloween Eggplant: I helped you with everything…I hope


you become a magpie who repays the favor….

[Server] Cat Meow Meow Meow: [neutaaaa] Hero is so cool!!! But


when I changed jobs, everyone told me to quit because I was a
mess, but it was too much ㅡㅡ

[Server] Halloween Branch: Fold Valkyrie

[Server] Kitty cat cat: Don’t blow your ears, you bastards.

[Server] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I’m not going to close it^^

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Where are you?^^ I said it was a hot spring,
but it’s not there;?

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Just came out haha


[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: ㅅㅂIf I get caught, I won’t leave alone;

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Yes~

Perhaps thanks to the congratulatory messages, messages


congratulating me on my job change came from even strangers. I
never had anything like this until I did my third job change. This is
why it’s good to join a guild. Yeowoon was so moved that he used
the only server microphone he received as a reward from the last
event.

[Server] neutaaaa: Thank you for your congratulationsㅜㅜ

-New. What about me?

“thank you….”

-How much?

“….”

As I said before, the planet Earth is better than it looks. no…From


what I could see, it seemed like a seed of interest.

-What, are you interested?

under…. I need to change my habit of talking to myself. Yeowoon


sat quietly and tapped the microphone with his finger, pretending
that the connection was bad. At that time, the Earth suddenly made
a sighing sound and burst into laughter.

“…?”

Then, the sound of water drops was heard as a whole blue message
arrived, and a link arrived on the phone screen.

-I just sent you a link?

「Earth: (Go to external link)」

“What is this?”

-Guild chat room. You can participate using your in-game nickname.

It was an open chat room. Yeowoon typed ‘neutaaaa’ into the chat
name and pressed the ‘Join chat window’ button. Then, a mobile
phone messenger room was created, and I was able to participate in
the chat room where all guild members were gathered.

ㅈi9 stars

Guys, there was no Newta.

neutaaaa

?
Cat cat cat cat

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Park hwi bug

Haha congratulations hahahaha

halloween eggplant

(picture)

The photos Halloween Branch sent included congratulatory


messages from guild members who were not currently connected to
the game.

Poseidon Captain

Hahahahahahahaha I’m really, really sorry I forgot to invite you to


the group chat room.

halloween eggplant

Of course I thought you were participating haha.

Poseidon Captain

Congratulations once again on your job change hahaha Qㅠㅠㅠㅠ


neutaaaa

ah…Thank you haha

With the creation of a guild chat room, I felt like I was really getting
attached to the game. Like the Strawberry Jam guild, there was no
chat room in the previous guild either….

Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Everyone, modern and new members are at union
level 30.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Don’t lie.

[Guild] Ji9 Star: It’s true! I swear on my brother!!

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Last time you bet on your brother twice, it
was all a lie.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: So, Earth Star, isn’t your older brother
already mine?

“…Selling your family?”

-It’s my family, wouldn’t it be okay?

Earth Star made quite a logical statement. Yeah, I didn’t sell my


parents…. About as big as my brother. Yeowoon was convinced by
those words.
[Guild] Poseidon Captain: New haha, isn’t it? There’s someone in our
guild who does something like that.

[Guild] neutaaaa: It’s really 30…?

Yeowoon took a picture of the monitor with his cell phone and sent it
to the guild chat room. The guild members who checked the
authentication shot were all silent.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: …There is….

[Guild] Halloween Branch: I’m 10…?

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Why the combination level?

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Hahahaha what did you do instead of raising


your level?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Where can I see that?

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Where are you? I won’t hit you.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: It’s under the equipment window! Take a


look.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Ah…I’m at 1. How do I get this to level 30??
What can I make?
[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Don’t do that;

“….”

The reactions were strange. Yeo-woon became anxious at the


response as if he was asking why on earth he had raised the level of
the combination. Why? Shouldn’t it be level 30? .

[Guild] Park Hwibuglae: I heard that Mrs. Bugil only made it to level
10 after working hard for a whole month.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: ㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋ I almost quit because I was


stressed…. It’s not for nothing that no one does it.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: I can’t believe you got all the way to 30. This is
my first time seeing it.

What’s wrong with that? I was just curious.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Still, isn’t it good to raise your level?? The


probability of reinforcement success also increases.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Munsol

“…is not it?”

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: I used to enchant the golden hammer


and the combination potion, but the gauntlet didn’t really work, and
the weapon exploded over 20 times^^ I tried the optional
enchantment over a hundred times, but none of it was successful,
so I just bought it at the auction house~ I just wasted money. ; This
seems to be manipulating the odds of a hundred percent.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Ah ㄹㅇ

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Anyway, that’s right~

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: This is why the stock price keeps falling^^;

[Guild] al0ha: Damn it haha

Items of a high grade or strengthened beyond a certain level have a


certain probability of being destroyed each time they are
strengthened. It was common for items that exploded like that to
disintegrate in the air, leaving behind only a few high-quality
fragments.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: I hope Illusion employees also receive


their salaries on a stochastic basis^^

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: And I want to sell an item that can


increase the probability by 5% for 100,000 won.

[Guild] Park Hwibugrae: LOL, probability increase item?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: ㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ


[Guild] Park Hwibugae: That’s so generous. If it’s 100,000 won,
everyone will rush in and buy about 10 of them!

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: But seriously, 5% is worth buying…Not


even 0.1%

“….”

weird. Is it because I haven’t made any level 200 or higher items yet
that I don’t know? Yeowoon decided to make an earring item as a
test using the intermediate fragments he had at hand.

‘Do you want to start combining <Red Bat Heart Earrings>? (5%
chance of success)’

‘The items <Intermediate Fragment*50>, <Heart of the Red Bat*5>,


and <Frost of the Bloody Moon> have been consumed.’

The item was consumed, and a workbench appeared in front of me


with a pop sound. As Yeowoon’s character made the motion of
slamming the hammer hard, the gauge bar began to fill up step by
step.

‘The enchantment was successful!’

‘You have obtained <Red Bat Heart Earring>!’

“…?”
See, there is a 5% chance, but it happens all at once.

(S/Rare) Red Bat Heart Earrings

Limit level: 180▲

Reinforcement Durability: 500

Enchantment Level: 12

-It contains the vengeful spirit of a red bat that lives in the deepest
part of an underwater cave.

* effect

Luck +500

All stats 3%

I haven’t strengthened it yet, but the luck option has already reached
300. The perceived probability was definitely different than when the
combination level was low. Looking at this, combination level 30
doesn’t seem that bad….

-Muttering again.

“Oh, what a surprise!”


-Ahh!

“evil!”

Strangely enough, they seemed startled by each other’s voices.


Silence hung between the two for a while.

-…I was more surprised, right? Wow, I thought my ears were


popping!

“Turn on your blinkers and come in….”

Embarrassed, Yeowoon grumbled and lowered the voice chat


volume to 70%. Then Earth Star said, ‘It’s funny. So don’t think
about anything else.’ He snorted and jumped and landed in front of
Yeowoon. It seemed like Yeowoon had been somewhere for a while
while making the item.

‘Ji9 Star has applied for a transaction.’

-Take this.

The items that Earth Star put on the trading window were 10 sets of
high-quality fragments and 10 sets of top-quality fragments.
Yeowoon drooped his eyebrows awkwardly as he hurriedly checked
the remaining money balance.

“how much is this? I left all my money in the bank now….”


-I got ripped off. It’s all free!

The moment I was about to ask who I received it from, the person
who gave me the item suddenly appeared in the guild chat window.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: New, I just delivered a piece of debris to


Earth Star as a gift for changing jobs.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Did Earth Star run out of items?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Wow, hey, isn’t that right?

“I don’t have any faith….”

It was worth knowing. He said he sold his brother too.

-Am I listening?

“….”

-hey?

Yeowoon pretended to hear Earth Star’s voice and scanned the


combination window for the items he needed.

-Aren’t you going to say thank you this time?

“Oh right.”
I’m such a fool that I almost forgot something like this. Yeowoon
hurriedly wrote a thank you note in the chat window.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Thank you, Captain! I’ll try my best to draw a


weapon!

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Are you sure you want to do this?

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Yes haha fighting!

[Guild] neutaaaa: Yes

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: ㄷㄷ

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Hero is not a dead job like Valkyrie, with no
items for sale at the auction house…. Just buy a weapon.

[Guild] Cat Cat Me Cat: Wow…Are you suddenly hitting me? LOL

It seemed like everyone was biased because they had never played
combined content before. I will definitely succeed. Yeowoon
muttered to himself and reflected on his will.

-What about me?

“yes?”

-Aren’t you grateful to me?


“…?”

why me? The person who actually gave me the item was Captain
Poseidon. Yeowoon burst into laughter.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: What about me?

[Guild] Ji9 Star: What about me??

[Guild] Ji9 Star: What about me????

[Guild] Halloween branch: Use Gilchat alone

[Guild] al0ha: ㄷㅊ

When Yeo-woon did not respond, Earth Star began saying the same
thing in the chat window. My ears were sore and the chat window
was noisy.

[Guild] Ji9 Star: Who am I??????????

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: It’s so noisy;

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Wallpaper

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: What about me?>_<

“Oh, thank you….”


[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Haha

I didn’t know why I was so obsessed with saying thank you, even
though I wasn’t really a fan. After winning the item he needed at an
immediate purchase price at the auction house, Yeowoon climbed to
the top of the Isis Palace, where he always makes equipment, and
caught his breath.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Newta, I’m bored. Can I come watch you pick
out equipment? Haha.

Before Yeo-woon could reply, Earth Star answered Wandu Wandya’s


words on her own.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅇㅇ Come to the palace of Isis.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: I guess you’re the one who manages the
schedule.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Manager?

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Slave

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗ

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Yeah, I came to Isis right now too,
but it’s not there.
[Guild] Cat Cat Me Cat: Ah, I’m on channel 5 now…. I’ll go to
channel 3 too!

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Pea, I’m coming with you too.

Guild members who had not been invited began to gather around
Yeowoon. They were all very leisurely people. Anyway, I felt like it
was more of a burden because someone was watching.

[Guild] neutaaaa: What if I fail…thief

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Fun! Haha

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅡㅡ

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Human….

[Guild] Pea Wandya: But are you making mermaid?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Galumaset!

The Galuma set was an item that could only be obtained by crafting
everything from equipment to weapons through a combination. The
set effect is pretty good, but it doesn’t compare to the effort it takes
to create it, and there are only a few people on the entire server who
use it.

[Guild] Wandawanda: Did you get all the recipes? I have some
leftover that I didn’t use. Would you like to give it to me?
[Guild] Pea Wandya: What are the ingredients?

[Guild] neutaaaa: I bought all the ingredients, and a stranger gave


me the recipe along with money when I did my first job change!

Thanks to this, Yeowoon was able to devote time to creating items


like he did in Little Forest. The chef job involves making food items
and selling them to users at restaurants, so until I got used to the
illusion, I was doing nothing but making items all the time. In the
process, I was able to get a black cloak cheaply while looking at the
auction house.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Someone you don’t know?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ Don’t quit the game.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I was quiet, but someone commented that I looked


like shit and jumped out. I guess that seemed a bit pitiful.ㅜㅜ

[Guild] Wanduwandya: ㅁㅊeva;; Are you going to hit a newbie like


that? It’s like a star on Earth.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Why does my name appear here ㅇㅅㅇ? I don’t kill
newbies haha. I only killed newbies, right?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Isn’t that worse?

[Guild] Ji9 Star: I even apologized!><


[Guild] Poseidon Captain: If there is a true conscience, you should
not beat up someone who looks like Nyuta no matter what….

Someone who looks like me?

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: ㅁㅈㅁㅈ!

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Even if I stole it, I should have passed


by thinking, “Oh my, this is a good meal.”

“….”

What is it about people who look like me? Yeo-woon became


solemn, stared at the screen, and asked.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Do I really look like a tribe?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Ah

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

A sound of laughter was heard in my ear, and the sound grew


further and further away. It seemed like he was laughing from afar. I
guess it’s real…!

[Guild] neutaaaa: It’s cute….

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: If I didn’t decorate it at all, I’d say draw it.
[Guild] Wandu Wanda: It makes me sadder that he changed his hair
and even put on a cape to decorate himself in his own way.

…Fuck.

okay…. Since I still have some money left over, I’d like to decorate
my character to commemorate my change of job.

[Guild] neutaaaa: What is the problem?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: There are too many, but for now

[Guild] neutaaaa: First of all?

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Hmm…From the head?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Even the toes?!!

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Guild] Kitty cat cat: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

“….”
It seemed like they really looked like that because every single one
of them was like that. Looking at it now, I wonder if my skin color is
too dull. …Do your eyes look so stupid? Isn’t it a bit ugly to see the
armor as it is because you’re not wearing a fashion item? .

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: How about giving up your cloak, Nyuta?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ;;;

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: I’m sorry….

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahaha

[Guild] Kitty cat cat: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Previously, I tried unequipping the item for a while because people


were saying so many things, but the character looked too weak
because there was no cape with black accents. Come to think of it,
the Poseidon guild members were all weak-looking.

“They say there are so many things you don’t know.”

-I’m sorry for coming out, haha, haha, hehe….


“Carp eyes don’t deserve to smile.”

Yeo-woon grumbled at Earth Star, who was about to pass out, and
opened the combination window. However, after looking at the Earth
Star, he thought it was cute and was also attached to the crucian
carp eyes. If you look closely, you can see that almost none of the
guild members were wearing normal clothes. They say it looks cuter
and stronger or something. It’s ridiculous that even the Earth’s own
eyes are uglier, really….

‘Would you like to start combining <Galuma’s Observer>? (3%


chance of success)’

‘The items <Golden Hammer>, <High-Quality Fragment*150>,


<High-Quality Fragment*80>, <Broken Dragon Scale>, and <Broken
Galuma’s Crystal Ball> have been consumed.’

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Wow, the effect at max level is golden.

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅇ

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: No hahahaha

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Grumpy??

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Hahahahahahahahaha


[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

‘The enchantment was successful!’

‘You have obtained <Galuma’s Observer>!’

The word ‘Success!’ clearly appeared on the screen. Yeo Woon’s


character smiled brightly and jumped up and down in place in a
successful motion. When Yeowoon very easily passed the 3%
chance and obtained the weapon, the guild members who had been
laughing for a while raised question marks above their heads.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: This is awesome, please make mine
too!!

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Has the production probability been


patched to 100%?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: The Masters and Galumasets are all 3%


haha.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: ???? But how is it like that?

‘The enchantment was successful!’

‘You have obtained <Galuma’s Observer +1>!’


[Guild] Halloween Branch: No

‘The enchantment was successful!’

‘You have obtained <Galuma’s Observer +2>!’

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ㄷㄷ

[Guild] Halloween Branch: ㅅㅂMime

‘The enchantment was successful!’

‘You have obtained <Galuma’s Observer +3>!’

Yeo-woon, who had finished upgrading to level 3, registered the


weapon in the equipment window. There was a clanging sound, and
a black aura appeared on the character’s arm. The hero attacks with
a sword drawn from the shadow and the shadow itself. Even the
basic attack effects were so flashy that they were incomparable to
those of Shadow Warrior.

-What is the probability of reinforcement?

“ah… Was it 5%?”

-…But from production to the final three, it didn’t happen once?

“yes!”
-What a shame.

Blessed character? Is it just this much? Yeowoon tilted his head. The
Earth Star muttered in an irritated voice, telling him not to deceive
her.

Halloween Branch, who was quietly watching Yeo-woon from the


side, pushed Yeo-woon away and started strengthening his
equipment where he was standing. Soon enough, the sound of
metal breaking was heard and his weapon was destroyed.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Sigh….

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: If it doesn’t work one more time, I’ll


commit suicide.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Ah haha

Halloween Branch attempted to strengthen once again, broke one


more item, and jumped off the roof without hesitation.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Playing….

[Whispering] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: New, can you try


strengthening that bazooka just once? It’s okay if it explodes, but I
hope it doesn’t explode…I’m scared that if I do it, it will explode
100%….

[Whisper] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ
[Whispering] Cat cat cat: Wow!!

‘Nyannyangnyangnyang applied for a transaction.’

Yeowoon received the cat cat and attempted to strengthen it again


on the spot.

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: ㅅㅂ

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Mistress 1 shot

On the other hand, the guild members who destroyed the weapons
one by one in a friendly manner at the spot where Yeowoon was
standing fell into despair. The only one laughing was
Nyannyangnyangnyang, who had secretly asked Yeowoon to
strengthen his weapon.

[Whispering] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: Wow, lucky option level 7


hahahahaha are you a genius?ㄷㄷ

[Whispering] neutaaaa: That’s the case haha

[Whispering] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: But yesterday, while I was


going through the dungeon for newbies, I received a hair change
coupon.

[Whispering] Cat cat cat: I didn’t use it…New, if you don’t mind,
please use this.
[Whispering] Cat Meow Meow Meow: It also doubles as a gift for my
job change!!

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Ah haha, what is this?

[Whispering] Kitty Nyang Na Nyangnyang: You don’t refuse….

In Yeowoon’s item window, a special hair change ticket given by Cat


Cat Cat Cat appeared in the item window. Good cat! Yeowoon even
bought plastic surgery tickets with the remaining money at a fashion
shop and jumped off the roof of the palace.

-Where are you going?

“….”

Yeo-woon ran toward the makeup shop without answering Ji-gu-


byeol’s words. Because it was obvious that they would make fun of
me. The Earth Star, which had been following after the lingering
sound, swallowed the sound. The sound of hard tapping on the
keyboard rang out through the headphones.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: <Breaking News> Newta enters the makeup shop
and becomes a hot topic! Announcement of research results
showing that they clearly paid attention to the comment that they
look like a family

Fuck.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Hahahahahaha I’m on my way now~


[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahahaha I have to go too
hahahaha

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Then I should change my eyes too ><ㅎㅎ

The Earth Star disappeared from its spot for a moment and
reappeared less than 30 seconds later. It seems that he also bought
the right to plastic surgery at a fashion shop.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow: Hair is a lottery, so you can choose what
you want except limited hair!

“… Oh, what should I do?”

Even though I looked through the hairstyles that could be changed


by talking to NPCs, I couldn’t find anything that made me think, ‘This
is it.’ Next to Yeo-woon, who was scrolling aimlessly, Earth Star
began to change her face first. After being eaten by a beauty salon
machine, Earth lost its crucian eye and was reborn with a blue half-
eye.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㄴㅇㅅ

[Guild] al0ha: Oh, they say your eyes were cuter before

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: When will Newta change?


[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Do you think whatever you do will be better
than now?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahaha

“… What should I do?”

-Choose what you like.

“I don’t really like it….”

-Do you have a favorite style?

“Favorite…?”

-yes. Favorite.

I don’t really know because I don’t think about that much. As


Yeowoon scrolled down, he noticed semi-curly hair sticking out here
and there and stopped scrolling right then and there. Yeo-woon
clicked on the black hair as if she were fascinated, and the machine
changed Yeo-woon’s hair into stylish black hair in less than 5
seconds.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: It seems like the head isn’t the problem….

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahaha


Okay, then you can change the face too. Please make a very strong
face appear. Yeowoon closed his eyes tightly, prayed to a god he did
not believe in, and then pressed the change button.

“…!”

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Oh, you have a sensitive face haha, it’s
pretty.

When I slowly opened my closed eyes, I was greeted by a face that


suited me better than I expected. The helpless-looking face seemed
to resemble someone else. I liked it in my own way. As my face and
hair changed, I started to crave fashion items that I had never worn
before. This is why look ducks appear.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I’ll change my clothes too!

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Wow finally?

Yeo-woon, who had been going into a fashion shop and clicking on
daily clothes to try on the character, clicked on ‘Unemployed
Worker’s Training Clothes’ and was happy to think that this was it.
After purchasing items to cover his helmet and gauntlets, he
reappeared at the makeup shop with a simpler look.

-…uh?

It seemed like the planet Earth was speechless after seeing my


changed appearance!
[Guild] neutaaaa: How about me?

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: I don’t feel like I’m level 50 anymore!

[Guild] neutaaaa: Was it like level 50 before?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ….

Captain Poseidon responded with silence, and his intentions were


conveyed to Yeoun. It wasn’t that bad. Yeowoon grumbled.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Now all I have to do is take off my cape.

[Guild] neutaaaa: ;;

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Okay, sorry.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahaha

Yeowoon liked my transformation. My character seemed like he


would chew up everything or swear at anyone who spoke to him,
and even though he was covered in armor and a helmet, he seemed
strong in his own way.

“hello?”

Anyway, Earthstar, who I thought would tease or laugh from earlier,


was silent. Yeo-woon found it strange that nothing was said after a
long time, so he shifted his gaze and looked at the Whole Blue voice
channel. The only thing that lit up blue was my name.

“…?”

Why did you suddenly leave? When I noticed something strange and
looked at the screen, I found that Earth had left the game.

‘Ji9 Star has terminated the connection.’

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Did it bounce?

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Maybe it’s time to watch….

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahaha Don’t pretend like you know


anyone when you come in~

Everyone didn’t think much of Earth Star’s departure and


congratulated Yeowoon on his transformation and job change. And
no matter how much time passed, Earth Star did not log into the
game.

“Why did you suddenly leave?”

Yeowoon typed the message into the Whole Blue chat window and
looked at the chat window for a while. Earthstar didn’t even read my
message.

“…?”
It seemed like there had been a total power outage in the apartment
where he lived.

***

“Brother, did you fight with that big dicked brother?”

“ok?”

While I was changing clothes in the locker room, an elementary


school student who seemed particularly friendly to Yeo-woon came
up to me and asked. My hair was wet and sticky, as if I had been
drying it.

“This is my older sister. I asked him why he didn’t come this week
and he said he would.”

“To me?”

Yeowoon closed his eyes. I didn’t know why they were asking me
that and not someone else.

“You two are friends!”


“…Dohyun. Don’t you know what a friend is?”

“Uh, wow…. I have a lot of friends, right? You have over a hundred
friends? “I have been friends with the first and second grades of our
elementary school since kindergarten, so I am very close with
them.”

“Envy you. My brother doesn’t even have ten friends.”

“If you try hard, you will be able to make a lot of friends.”

The kid shook his head and gave serious advice. cute. Yeowoon
asked, suppressing laughter.

“But who says I’m friends with him?”

“huh? Aren’t you friends? “The big brother only talks to himself.”

Yeo-woon tilted his head when asked as if it was obvious.

He doesn’t even talk to me much…?

Other than the occasional glare as to what I was looking at, he


rarely spoke to me first. Is he usually quiet, or is he always shy? .
Anyway, I couldn’t understand why the man who must have been at
this swimming pool longer than me was the one he was talking to
the most. It seemed like there was something wrong with this kid.
“Oh, quickly. hurry! When is that brother coming? “My sister asked
me to ask.”

“Umm…. I don’t know.”

“Then ask your brother. My sister says she doesn’t feel like going
out to the swimming pool.”

Even if you say that…. Unless I was at the swimming pool, I didn’t
meet men very often. And this week I didn’t seem to even see his
shadow. Yeowoon thought for a moment and nodded before
answering.

“okay. I’ll ask you when I see you.”

“Then I’ll tell my sister that too.”

The elementary school student spoke softly, turned around and


walked away. Yeowoon picked up her socks and put them on,
playing with her slightly curled hair with her fingers.

“….”

After hearing what the kid said, I felt like I was starting to get a little
nervous now. Have you moved time? Why don’t you come to the
swimming pool? The more exercise becomes a habit, the more you
stop doing it, the faster you forget about it. Of course, I wasn’t at the
level of worrying about anyone, but it was true that I was worried
because I hadn’t seen him for a few days.
Yeo-woon was now able to float to some extent, as the swimming
instructor had assured, and was even communicating with the
members of the beginner class at the same time. After giving
lessons, we had to talk often because we had to take turns going
around the track. The age range was diverse, but not all of them
were shy and talked to children younger than middle school. I
haven’t even been able to talk to my next door neighbor, Ji-gu Yun,
whom I got to know much earlier than them, let alone tell him my
name.

“Is something wrong?”

Yeowoon muttered as he left the front door of the swimming pool. As


he trudged home, he thought about a million things. What if you go
into the bathroom without your phone and the door doesn’t open? I
caught a cold so bad that I couldn’t even move. Did you collapse all
night and be taken to the emergency room?

The more Yeo-woon imagined, the more the man next door had to
suffer in extreme situations.

“oh my god….”

Somehow, in Yeo-woon’s mind, he had already become a terminally


ill patient. Being alone is the saddest thing when you’re sick. So,
when Yeo-woon caught a cold, he would call any of his friends who
lived nearby and tell them to bring him porridge.

but…For some reason, the man next door didn’t seem to have any
friends. I don’t know much about him, but it somehow seemed like
that. I felt sad. Perhaps that’s why my steps naturally start to speed
up. I wanted to immediately ring the doorbell next door and make
sure he was safe. Of course, I wouldn’t go that far, but….

‘It’s the 9th floor.’

An elevator sound announced the floor. Yeo-woon got off the


elevator, stamping his feet in his heart, but stopped when he saw
the back of an unfamiliar man. He glanced back at Yeo-woon, then
turned his head back to stand with his back to Yeo-woon.

Who is it? He was a fairly large man. The bare skin exposed by the
short sleeves looked solid with all the muscles exposed, and the hair
at the back of the head was long and tied into a ponytail. He put his
cell phone to his ear and made a call at the door next door. Not long
after, the person on the other end seemed to have answered the
phone and the man opened his mouth.

“uh. Yoon Ji-gu, it’s me. where are you?”

“…?”

If it’s Yun Ji-gu…. Is that the name of the guy next door?

“It’s in front of my house right now. Why did you change your
password? …why. My brother said he was coming to my sister’s
house. What’s the problem?”

Ah, it’s my brother! It looked somewhat similar.


“It’s inside you. Also, isn’t that why you won’t open the door because
you don’t clean the house? …Are you confronting your brother now?
do you want to die?”

Contrary to the bloody voice, the corners of the man’s mouth were
slightly raised. Saying ‘I want to die’ is not sincere.

“Oh, mom’s cafe? Then go down. I have something to say.”

He immediately hung up the phone and turned around. Perhaps


because the day had gotten so hot, he lifted his hand and wiped the
sweat from the back of his neck. When Yeowoon made eye contact
with the man who turned around, he smiled politely. The man stared
at the lingering image and asked.

“who are you?”

“Hello, I live here.”

“Ah yes….”

Above the awkward face, ‘What is this? Why are you acting
friendly?’ It seemed as if the words were clearly written. I
understood the word brothers. The guy next door also tended to
show his emotions right away on his face. To be honest, Yun Ji-gu’s
appearance was a bit more delicate and cold-hearted than the older
brother in front of him.

The man looked at Yeo-woon, who was about to go down the


elevator with him, as if he was dumbfounded by the topic that had
just come up. When Yeowoon told his younger brother that he had
something to ask him, his expression changed to a puzzled look.

“huh? “Do you have something to ask the Earth?”

“yes.”

Because if not today, I don’t know when we’ll be able to meet again.
Yunjigu is not a natural monument and I couldn’t understand why it
was so hard to see its face.

“Are you close with my younger brother?”

That can’t be possible. The man muttered.

“We’re not close, but we go to the same swimming pool.”

“ah….”

When Yeowoon showed him the swimsuit bag in his hand, he shook
his head in understanding and asked.

“But what are you asking? “Did my brother do something?”

“yes?”

“… This is real.”
The man’s expression distorted. What did you do…? Yeowoon
looked at him with wide eyes and shook her head violently.

“Oh, it’s not like that…! I don’t think you’ll be able to come to the
swimming pool this week. I was wondering if you were in pain….”

“Are you skipping swimming?”

“yes. I’m worried.”

“….”

The man looked at Yeowoon with a strange expression. The man


who had been looking at him as if observing him the entire time he
was going down the elevator lifted the corners of his mouth and
smiled.

“I was worried about my younger brother a lot, but I’m glad that such
a nice person lives next door. This is Jihyuk Yoon.”

“It’s Lee Yeo-un.”

Yeowoon gently held the hand the man held out. Jihyuk Yoon’s hand
was as big as Jigu Yoon’s, and the joints were sticking out. I
wondered if having big hands was hereditary. There was a silver ring
on the ring finger of the man’s left hand, which was slightly touched
and then pulled away. Marriage…Did you do it? Yeowoon muttered
to himself.
“I guess there’s a bit of an age difference between you and your
younger brother….”

Yoon Ji-hyuk’s expression became dull at Yeo-woon’s question.

“yes. Because the Earth is young. I am nine years older than you,
and my second child is eight years older than me.”

It seemed like they were three brothers. Anyway, that person is the
youngest…. I never thought I would be the youngest because of my
personality.

“Envy you. Still, I guess they didn’t fight because there was a bit of
an age difference between them. I grew up fighting a lot with my
younger sister.”

“No, we fought a lot. I wonder if I was a Ssamdak in my previous


life, because I’ve been criticized a lot since I was young.”

Yeowoon chuckled. I didn’t even see it, but I felt like I could imagine
that scene. Even so, I can’t help but criticize my older brother who is
nine years older than me. You’ve been unusual since you were
young. It seemed like his personality wasn’t going anywhere. Yeo-
woon, imagining his childhood, opened the door to Cafe Earth with
Ji-hyuk Yoon and entered.

“Yoon Ji-gu!”

Immediately upon hearing Jihyuk Yoon’s voice striding towards the


counter, I saw someone walking out of the inner warehouse with
their hair disheveled.

“Ah, why is my brother here again… ….”

I made eye contact with Yoon Ji-gu, who raised his head while
grumbling.

“…!”

He looked back and forth between Yoon Ji-hyuk and Yeo-woon with
a puzzled face, then walked up to Yoon Ji-hyuk and whispered to
him. Yoon Ji-hyuk, who heard his whisper, said in a voice filled with
laughter as he fed chestnuts to his forehead.

“Spoiled. You’re the person next door. I heard you came because
you had something to say?”

“H-what…?”

“hello.”

“… My brother, how did you cook it?”

Jigu Yoon muttered in an embarrassed voice. He nodded, looking at


Yeo-woon. Yeo-woon, who had taken a step back at the gesture that
seemed to ask him to come here, slowly approached Yun Ji-gu.

“hey.”
Yun Ji-gu sighed heavily and looked down at Yeo-woon.

“Do you have anything to do with me? “What is it again this time?”

It’s the look in his eyes that he always looks at at the swimming pool.
The quick glance was so intense that it seemed to pierce the
lingering emotions. It was a little scary at first, but now I understand.
This isn’t glaring, Ji-gu Yoon looks at everyone like that. Yeo-woon
glanced at Yun Ji-gu without even blinking and smiled faintly.

“It’s Lee Yeo-un.”

“…what?”

“It’s not hey, it’s Lee Yeowoon.”

“….”

“I know Mr. Ji-gu’s name. I was wondering if you might be curious


about my name.”

Yun Ji-gu’s expression was filled with all sorts of storms as Yeo-
woon smiled and said the words. Jet-black eyes shake wildly, and
light pink lips close tightly. They are panicking.

Yeo-woon was curious about Yun Ji-gu’s true intentions. In over 20


years of living, this is the first time I’ve met someone who feels so
awkward about me. Normally, I wouldn’t even approach someone
who told me not to approach them. But for some reason, the man
next door…No, my eyes keep falling on Ji-gu Yoon. Why?
“Oh, what are you looking at, really….”

“… Umm.”

Is it because he is twice as tall as most people? Because it’s natural


to stand out when you grow up…. I see It was like that when I grew
up. Yeowoon shook his head.

“Let’s sit down and talk first. Mr. Yeowoon, are you busy right now?”

“Oh, I’m busy! Are you busy? They say they’re busy. Why are you
making such a fuss by arresting people who have work to do?”

Ji-gu Yoon answered on his behalf, inserting his large body between
Yeo-woon and Ji-hyuk Yoon. Yeowoon grabbed his forearm and
stuck his head out.

“I’m really free.”

“…!”

Yoon Ji-gu, who was grabbed by the forearm, was startled and
slapped Yeo-woon’s hand away.

“Great. Then let’s sit down and talk. What do you want to eat? “I’ll
buy you coffee.”

“Americano, hot.”
At the lingering feeling of quickly saying the name of the drink
without even rejecting it for the first time, Jihyuk Yoon chuckled as if
he wanted to see the funny guy.

“Would you like to eat it hot in this weather?”

“Because it’s a damp day.”

“It’s summer, but it’s unusual.”

He gave Yun Ji-gu, who was looking at the two people back and
forth with a serious expression, a quest to make coffee, and sat
down at a table in the corner with Yeo-woon. It was a place with a
very good view of the counter. Jigu Yoon was frowning and moving
his hands vigorously. He seemed very skilled in downing the shot,
taking out the cup, and warming it up.

“May I ask how many times Earth has missed swimming this week?”

Ji-hyuk Yoon asked with a calm face. Yeo-woon checked what day of
the week it was and counted the days on his fingers.

“I didn’t come here even one day this week, so about three days…?”

“three days….”

He clasped his hands in front of his face and muttered darkly.


Yeowoon felt a shiver run down his spine as he smiled and fiddled
with the edge of the swimming pool bag.
“Mr. Yeowoon, did you try any other sports before swimming?”

“It hasn’t been long since I went swimming, and I just exercised a
lot. Last year, I went boxing with a friend, and before that, I went to
PT sometimes…. why?”

“I want you to have good posture.”

“Me?”

“Ah, here….”

Yoon Ji-hyuk rummaged through his wallet, took out a business


card, and held it out in front of Yeo-woon. The business card he held
out had “Gym and Fitness” written on it.

“It won’t be long, so come when you get tired of swimming. I’m
building a fitness room.”

CEO, Jihyuk Yoon….

“…?”

representative? Yeowoon raised his head and looked at Yoon Jihyuk.

“I said I could take care of it on my own, so I just let it go, but now
this kid has been skipping swimming for three days at a time?”
He muttered as if to listen to Yun Ji-gu, who was approaching with
an annoyed face and two cups of coffee.

“… Why are you saying that again?”

Ji-gu Yun slipped into the chair next to his brother and glared at Yeo-
woon.

“I’m going to tell you and it’s going to be a mess.”

“No, I’m worried that you’re sick….”

“hey. Why are you worrying about me?”

“It’s not that, it’s Lee Yeowoon… .”

“Lee Yeo-un and Kim Yeo-un, that’s none of my business. I’m so


busy with work that I haven’t been able to go swimming for a few
days. You’re going back tomorrow, right?”

“Why are you saying that while looking at me, Earth?”

ah. It wasn’t something he wanted to say to me, it was just an


excuse to his brother. Yeo-woon burst into laughter without realizing
it, but when he saw Ji-gu Yoon’s eyes turn towards him and his ears
turned bright red, he tried to suppress his laughter.

“You brought this to your brother again and made a fuss. It’s
ridiculous, really.”
“What are you busy doing? “You go to school in one day this
semester.”

“Wow, one day?”

“Oh, don’t worry about that.”

Are your hands very fast? Are you extremely good at registering for
courses? How can that be?

Maybe it was because Yeo-woon had never had a free class in all
eight semesters, but even now that she had graduated from college,
hearing stories like this made her feel so envious of that person.

“I was busy studying for the test.”

“study?”

“I stayed up all night?”

“you?”

Yoon Ji-hyuk openly laughed at Yoon Ji-gu. He seemed to enjoy the


reaction of Ji-gu Yoon, who claimed that he really studied for the
test, by asking a few questions as if he was teasing him. Yeo-woon
stopped listening to his brother’s story and asked.

“Mr. Earth.”
“My name is whatever I want…!”

“Then it doesn’t hurt anywhere?”

The gazes of the two people who resembled each other turned to
Yeowoon’s face. Yeowoon sighed softly and muttered.

“thank god…. I was worried that you might have collapsed at home.”

“…worry?”

He slowly closed and opened his black eyes. Terrible, terrible. Sigh.
Sigh. The frequency of blinking increased and the man turned his
head.

“…Well, what do you say? Who cares about whom? “You better do
that.”

He started talking in his usual way, then got slapped on the back of
the head by his older brother, telling him to be quiet, and then
silenced him.

“Anyway, Yoon Ji-gu. Because muscle loss occurs, exercise


regularly, manage your diet, and don’t eat snacks.”

“You’re noisy, Helchang. Is this what you came to say?”

“No, please take care of Young this weekend.”


“I’m not close to Yunyoung.”

“Young is your nephew.”

Yeowoon burned his tongue in coffee at the unexpected words.

“I’m busy on the weekend. I have a schedule. I don’t have time to


see Yunyoung.”

“What are you doing? “Do you still play games?”

“…!”

“Are those weird characters coming out?”

“…Ah, what are you talking about…!”

Ji-gu Yoon covered his brother’s mouth with his hand and looked at
Yeo-woon’s notice. It was a very cautious attitude. Seeing his eyes
shaking as if he was anxious, Yeowoon decided to pretend not to
know about his hobby.

You’ve been consistently putting it off for a long time….

“And the Earth is younger than Yeo-woon, so leave the two of you
alone.”

“….”
Yeo-woon glanced at Yun Ji-gu. You can let go…?

“no.”

“They said they don’t like it….”

I couldn’t help it. Yun Ji-gu openly snorted at Yeo-woon’s strangely


droopy voice.

“Then I’ll go see you. Young will take you there on the weekend, so if
you don’t call me, I’ll die. …And Mr. Yeo-woon, if Ji-gu behaves
foolishly, please call the number listed there.”

“yes.”

“number? What number?”

When Yoon Ji-hyuk got up first, Yoon Ji-gu looked at Yeo-woon with
confused eyes. The face looks like it needs an explanation of the
situation.

“Did you exchange numbers?”

“…Um, yes. received.”

Yun Ji-gu looked at Yeo-woon quietly for a while and sighed softly.
“all right. Because I understand. … I’m going swimming starting
tomorrow, so don’t come to the cafe.”

“yes? coffee…It’s delicious….”

“… Then just come once a week.”

“….”

“twice. No more.”

“….”

“Oh, then just come three times.”

Ji-gu Yoon got irritated and turned his back on Yeo-woon and walked
inside the counter. Before entering the warehouse, he glanced at the
lingering sight again, then turned around without hesitation and
disappeared.

Yeowoon sipped his lukewarm coffee and looked at his phone. When
I accidentally clicked on the app that was left out on the background
screen, the Whole Blue chat window filled the screen.

“Why did you suddenly leave?”

No messages had arrived below the message sent a few days ago.
#04.
Ji-gu Yoon

Yeowoon scrolled down his phone and clicked the recommend


button on the recommended review of Cafe Earth. This was
because there were already twenty hearts in the review written by
Yeowoon. Around the time he left his mark on about thirty reviews,
Yeowoon noticed something strange.

All part-time workers are rude. Haha. They never smile at


customers. ^^ I don’t know why they are so cold to people who
spend money. I feel full.

I came here with my girlfriend, and the part-time worker taking our
orders kept glaring at me…. Boss, you need to fire employees like
this…^^ And the cake was delicious, but it was disappointing that the
fork it came with was wooden.

Ah- T-B-! I thought my part-time job here during the day was
handsome, so my friends and I ran over to see a short guy with
glasses standing there????? All my expectations were shattered
haha. What happened to people’s eyes? haha Can someone tell me
when and when the handsome part-timer works? Is it true? Haha,
but I have no intention of coming back. It really makes me sick to
think that if I make a mistake, I have to replace that person again.
False listings are no joke. It’s really the main culprit of street
pollution. Wow, crazy eye contact. I don’t know what to look at.
When I look at it again, it looks even uglier;;ㅠㅠㅠ

For each one-star review that contained information about the


worker, there was a recommendation. Moreover, in each of those
reviews, there was only one person who clicked the recommend
button. The yellow profile picture caught his eye, so Yeo-woon
clicked ‘View Details’ on the profile.

Kimchi Haejangguk Daehan University Branch


★★★★★ I stayed up all night and was craving hangover soup
haha.

BKC Daehan University Branch

★★★★★ Fried chicken skin art.

Plain Rice Burger Daehan University Branch

★★★★★ A lot of quantity

Over the past year, there have been about ten reviews left by yellow
profile users, all of which were for bars and restaurants near Daehan
University’s Jungmun. It seemed like the living area was nearby.

“…?”

As for Daehan University, I knew the exact location because I had


been to the university festival a couple of times in the past. It’s not
even close from here, so why…. Yeowoon blinked in confusion and
unconsciously slipped his hand and clicked on report profile. This
person even showed sincerity by putting a ‘not recommended’ in all
the reviews from the past month, and giving a ‘recommend’ to all the
reviews saying that the part-time job was not cheap. This usually
means that you are not angry. Is there some kind of story?

“Here you go.”

At that time, a glass of iced Americano was placed on the table


where Yeowoon was sitting. Ji-gu Yoon brought the drink Yeo-woon
ordered to his seat. The faint scent of coffee beans passes by the
tip of my nose. When Yeowoon raised his head and looked at him,
he faced him with his usual cold face. Seeing that he came in
person, it seemed like he had something to say. When I ordered
coffee, it came with a part-time job…. Yeowoon muttered to himself.

“Three times today.”

“…yes?”

When Yeo-woon asked with a stupid expression on his face, Yun Ji-
gu let out a small sigh. He stretched out three fingers from thumb to
middle finger and held them in front of Yeowoon’s eyes.

“You promised to come only three times a week. Wood, Thursday,


Friday.”

“…yes?”

“Today is the third time, so this week is over. Is there anyone who
actually comes here every day?”

Yeo-woon, who was unable to understand what he said, managed to


recall what Ji-gu Yoon said a few days ago.

‘Oh, then just come three times.’

I thought you were just saying it.


“Too one-sided….”

“But a promise is a promise.”

“yes….”

The ice cubes rattled inside the glass. Yeowoon nodded, sucking up
his coffee through a straw. Anyway, it’s the weekend starting
tomorrow…. It’s not like I shouldn’t come to the cafe at all, so I
wondered what the problem was. Anyway, even if I were told to
come more than three times a week, I wouldn’t have time. Yun Ji-
gu’s eyebrows furrowed at Yeo-woon’s calm reaction.

“By the way, Mr. Earth….”

“I’m not telling you to call me by my name.”

“Have you counted all the days I’ve been here?”

“…yes?”

“One by one?”

“….”

Yun Ji-gu stopped breathing with his eyes wide open. Yeowoon
blinked his red eyes and looked at him. From the moment I entered
the cafe, I could feel his gaze clearly on me. Ji-gu Yoon raised his
hand and rubbed the back of his neck, shaking his head.
“No. Just because I’ve been here every day since Wednesday….”

“I think that’s right.”

“…bon appetite!”

Yun Ji-gu mumbled something and turned around. As he stomps his


feet and enters the counter, a female part-timer of the same age
who works with him smiles at his face. Ji-gu Yoon muttered
something to him with a distressed look on his face. It seemed like
they were arguing. You guys are having a good time. Yeowoon
turned his head back to its original position and thought.

‘Is life difficult…? . I stop laughing every time I see it.’

It bothered me because I was always frowning. I wanted to see at


least once the sincere smile on the face of a man whose faint scent
of coffee seemed to linger on the back of his neck.

***

I don’t even set an alarm, but strangely enough, I always wake up


early on weekend mornings. Yeowoon blinked his half-closed eyes
and put a toothbrush soaked in toothpaste in his mouth. Yeo-woon
hurriedly walked out, turned on the computer, and slowly brushed his
teeth, lost in thought.
This week felt like it went by faster than ever. There were frequent
rainy days, perhaps a sign of the beginning of the rainy season, and
the sudden rush of work at work kept me busy. Even though it
wasn’t my fault, my boss got so angry that he started to irritate Yeo-
woon, who had been sitting still, and Yeo-woon opened a savings
account yesterday when he left work. The name of the savings was
<Murder Contract Savings>.

‘neutaaaa has joined the game.’

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Haha

[Guild] Cat Cat Me Cat: Huh?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow: New, it’s morning, aren’t you ready for
work?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Fight?

I didn’t see this person like that…. Yeowoon looked into the chat
window with a cold face and deducted one point from his evaluation
of the cat in me.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Oh, that’s right, it was the weekend.
I stayed up all night and forgot about it for a moment haha.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Be careful^^

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Yep!


Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss
Yeo-woon generously forgave Nyannyangnyangnyang. People who
know how to admit mistakes have the potential to improve in the
future.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: People need to get some rest on the


weekends.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: But office workers are not people haha.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Don’t make one-shot comments like that;

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅗ

[Guild] Kidney Rat: Report

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Hahahaha all the office workers came out
hahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: LOL I’m glad I haven’t found a job yet. I would have
been made fun of.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: You didn’t do it, right?

[Guild] al0ha: ㅅㅂㅜㅜ

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Wandu, how is Manager Park?


[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Are you interested in our manager? May I
introduce you?

[Guild] Halloween branch: The bald man is a bit;

The guild members who had been coming in since morning were
talking loudly. Come to think of it, tomorrow is the day of the first
occupation of the siege event. Because of this, a notice was posted
in the guild chat room asking everyone to attend the event on
Sunday.

…But is Earth suddenly busy this week? Why isn’t there anything in
the guild chat room and why can’t I log into the game at all? .
Yeowoon clicked on the couple window and looked at the nickname
‘ㅈi9Star’ displayed as offline and sighed.

‘If the second-ranked person leaves, will the siege run properly
tomorrow?’

The opponent for Poseidon’s first guild siege tomorrow was the
<Romanos> guild, the 6th ranked guild on the Athens server. In
addition, since it was a battle over Isis, the largest city, the
participating guilds were very competitive. Yeowoon looked through
the list of guild members to see their levels.

“…?”

Yeowoon, who had been slowly working his way up from the bottom
to match nicknames and levels, tilted his head when he saw that
there was a name he had never seen before, but was quite familiar,
above the offline nickname of Earth Star.
<On> ㅈi9dal

“what. Is this an Earth-specific alt?”

Yeowoon thought for a moment and decided to ask in the guild chat
room.

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅈi9dal << Who is this?

[Guild] al0ha: Oh, that person haha

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ….

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Haha, he joined yesterday haha.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: I’m an official newbie.

“Newbie…?”

It’s not. No matter how you look at it, this is Earth. It was clear that it
wasn’t just ‘Earth Moon’ but ‘Ji9 Moon’ written on it. There was no
way there was anyone other than Earth who would use a nickname
like that.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Earth Star

[Guild] Halloween Branch: If you call me that, I won’t reply…Damn


it’s 1 Lime again
[Guild] Wandu Wanda: It’s not like the Earth haha.

“…?”

Yeowoon thought for a moment and called him by a different name.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Earth Moon?

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: ?;;;

The Earth Star, or rather the Earth Moon, which had not said
anything until now, suddenly appeared. I was so happy to see him
show up after not seeing him for a week.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Are you raising alts these days?

The ‘ㅈi9dal’ character was just over level 180. Yeowoon saw
through the guild window that he was at the entrance to the
aquarium and used the warp capsule. As I ran to the left from the
stone pagoda, I saw a welcome name tag in front of me. Yeo-woon
approached the Earth Moon, jumped up and smiled.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Why do they look the same?

The Earth Moon was a character decorated exactly like the Earth
Star. However, it felt like something was different, so I looked at it for
a while, and I could see a small dot under the eye.

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: ? Do you know me?ㅠ_ㅠ;;


By Earth…. No, Earth Moon suddenly started saying strange things.
Rather than being dumbfounded, Yeowoon didn’t really understand
what this was doing. I even read through the previous conversation,
but I still couldn’t figure it out.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Why is it like that all of a sudden?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: No one knows…Yesterday, someone


suddenly whispered to me and asked me to join the guild, so I did,
but he’s been like that ever since.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Why are you doing that?!

[Guild] neutaaaa: ….

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Lost in concept hahahahahaha

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: Concept? yep??

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: What’s wrong with me lol?

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: #A man with amnesia #Appears with a dot

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: It seems like the concept is that he showed


up after a week without any contact and doesn’t remember anything.
[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: No answer haha is that fun?

[Guild] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: Gilma and Earth Star keep


whispering to me and telling me to shut up.

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: ㄷㄷ Who is that….

“… Crazy guy.”

I decided to just get some attention. Anyway, he’s alive. Then


tomorrow he will come back as normal. That’s enough.

“There is no real custom.”

I was shocked to see that the Earth Moon character had a dot under
his left eye. Yeo-woon left Earth Star standing still in front of me and
talking about concepts, and left to find the Milky Way Dungeon 4-
person pot in party matching.

***

Ding dong.
At the sound of the doorbell that had been heard earlier, Yeowoon
took off his headphones and turned his head.

“Is it a delivery service?”

There’s nothing to come. Yeowoon tilted his head and left the room.
Ding dong! Ding dong ding dong! The doorbell kept ringing, but even
when I checked the intercom, I couldn’t see anyone. Yeo-woon
decided to check the condition of the doorbell to see if it was broken
and opened the front door.

“no one…uh?”

“….”

Yeo-woon lowered her head as there was no one in front of her, and
stopped what she was saying when she saw a small boy coming up
to her waist. The chubby-cheeked child was looking up at Yeo-woon,
holding a yellow umbrella tightly in his hand.

“hello. I am Yoonyoung, a four-year-old from the Azalea class at


Miso Daycare Center.”

“…hi.”

The child put his hand on his belly button and bowed. Yeowoon
squatted in place, made eye contact with the child, and asked.

“Is it raining outside?”


“Ugh. I came here a little while ago. But Young came by car.”

“Did you come alone? “Mom or dad?”

“My dad took me there, but I can take the elevator by myself. I hit
the old floor by myself with an umbrella.”

I wondered how he had pressed the button when he couldn’t reach


it, but it seemed like he had pressed it with the end of an umbrella.

“But. Is Uncle Young here?”

Although he spoke clearly, his pronunciation was leaking like that of


a child at this age. Yeowoon put his feet into the slippers he had left
in the middle of the shoe cabinet and walked out the door with the
child.

“This is room 902, and my uncle is room 901. Do you know how to
read numbers?”

“number. Up to ten!”

The spirit spread out his hands and showed his ten fingers. They
said he couldn’t read. A child’s fern-like hand tightly grasped Yeoun’s
sleeve. It seemed like he was the little child that Ji-hyuk Yoon had
asked Ji-gu Yoon to take care of on the weekend.

Yeowoon took the child and stood in front of the door next door and
rang the doorbell.
-I’m not buying it. I don’t read the newspaper.

The voice coming through the intercom was heartbreaking. There


was a crackling sound and the intercom connection was lost. It’s not
like my face can’t be seen through the camera, but I’m being treated
like I’m just a random dealer…. Yeowoon was dumbfounded and
laughed.

Ding dong. He pressed the doorbell again, put his hand in the child’s
armpit, and lifted him up. When I put the child’s face in front of the
intercom camera, the child laughed and rang the doorbell. Ding
dong, ding dong, ding dong! I thought Ji-gu Yoon must have been
really annoyed by the sound that rang in succession.

-S-what is it….

“uncle!”

-…Oh right.

The front door opened with a small sigh. Ji-gu Yoon appeared with
the sound of the keypad opening. Perhaps because it was morning,
her hair was frizzy. He looked at Yeo-woon’s face alternately with the
spirit in Yeo-woon’s hand.

“uncle!”

In a pronunciation that sounded close to ‘Samchun’, the child


muttered, pointing at Yun Ji-gu. When Yeo-woon put the child back
on the ground, Yun Ji-gu squeezed the child’s hand and tried to drag
him into the house. But the child whined and refused to go in.

“Yoonyoung. You’re already not listening again. I’m telling everything


to your dad.”

“Uncle is so ugly that I don’t want to be alone with you!”

“what?”

“Uncle, you’re ugly! “Youngie wants to play with this uncle.”

Young shook off Yoon Ji-gu’s hand and stretched out his hand to
Yeo-woon, throwing a tantrum. Yeowoon turned his head, curling his
lips inward and biting them. You’re ugly. The child looked exactly like
Yoon Ji-gu, as if it were a lie.

“Are you smiling now?”

Ji-gu Yoon turned his head and looked at Yeo-woon and asked.

“no. I’m not smiling.”

Yeowoon barely suppressed laughter and shook his head.


Meanwhile, Young was whining that his uncle was ugly.

“Let’s go now. I’ll go in and comfort the child.”


“Hello Young. Listen to your uncle.”

“Aaaah!”

Yeo-woon waved to the child who was being dragged away by Ji-gu
Yoon, then went back into his house and sat in front of the
computer.

‘Ji9dal has terminated the connection.’

Earth Moon left the game without saying anything. Are you going to
come to Boncain by district? Yeo-woon began searching for prices to
register equipment he was not using at the auction house. Around
that time, I could vaguely hear loud crying coming from the house
next door. It seemed that Ji-gu Yoon failed to soothe the child.

‘The item <Helmet of Chaos+9> has been registered in the auction


house.’

‘The item <Stockings of Chaos+6> has been registered in the


auction house.’

Yeowoon placed the equipment at a slightly higher price than the


market price and left the auction house. Yeo-woon, who deposited
half of his money at the bank, checked the accumulated balance
and smiled. By now, quite a bit of money had been accumulated.
When I thought about purchasing new equipment with this money,
my heart sank.
First, should I raise my level to 230 and set the starting tree? The
level of Cat Meow Meow Meow, which was similar to Yeowoon, was
already approaching the 240s. I also wondered if I would reach max
level within this month. I don’t know that anyone has reached max
level as Valkyrie yet….

Ding dong.

Then, the doorbell rang again. The face confirmed through the
intercom was that of Yoon Ji-gu. The sound of a crying child could
still be heard from next door, and Jigu Yoon rang the doorbell again
with a face that could not hide his distress.

Today was the first time he came to my house. As Yeowoon opened


the front door and came out, Jigu Yoon pursed his lips and let out a
sigh. Her hair looked like it had been ripped out by a child, and it
looked like a total mess.

“Excuse me, are you busy right now?”

busy.

“I’m not busy…why?”

“… My nephew is stubborn.”

I guess so. Because they look alike.

“He takes a nap right after he eats, right? Just wait until then….”
“for a moment?”

“… Please have lunch at my house.”

Yun Ji-gu continued speaking hesitantly. For someone who invited


her to eat with them, the expression on her face was that of
someone who just chewed shit, but Yeo-woon had no reason to
refuse. Relieves the burden of preparing lunch separately!

He told Yun Ji-gu to wait a moment, then went in, took his cell
phone, and shut down the computer. Without doing anything else,
Yeowoon dragged his slippers and walked back out into the hallway.

“under… They said they would come, but they really came.”

“Am I going back in?”

“I was just talking to myself.”

Ji-gu Yoon blocked Yeo-woon’s view with his large body and timidly
pressed the password to open the door. It was so dirty and
disgusting that I didn’t even want to look at it.

“Come in.”

Yeo-woon walked into Yun Ji-gu’s house. A faint vanilla scent wafted
from the front door. As Yeo-woon sniffed the scent, Ji-gu Yoon
glanced at him with trembling eyes and walked two steps away.
As soon as Yeo-woon came into view, the child stopped crying as if it
were a lie. Tears, which were hanging on the ends of long
eyelashes, flowed down my white cheeks. Yoon Ji-gu wiped away
the tears with his fingers and pinched his cheek to make it painless.

“Are you done now?”

“I hate you uncle.”

“Yoonyoung, you idiot.”

They play well. That’s the kind of thing you do to avoid losing an
argument with a kid. Yeo-woon watched the two, who looked exactly
alike, chanting at each other and calling each other fools.

Now that I think about it, the house was strangely spacious. There
were three rooms, and there was even a small staircase on one side
that went up to the attic upstairs. Isn’t it too spacious to live alone? ?
I thought it would have the same structure as my house, but Yeo-
woon has now realized why there are only two households on the
9th floor.

“What is the uncle next door doing?”

“I came from playing a game.”

“My uncle plays games too!”

“Yoonyoung!”
Ji-gu Yoon suddenly raised his voice. The spirit said, ‘Oh, it’s noisy.’
He said quietly and covered his ears. All they said was that they
were playing a game, so I wondered if it would be that surprising. …
By the way, I showed the kid everything. Yeo-woon saw Yun Ji-gu’s
scar in his heart.

“What game are you playing?”

“… I don’t play games!”

“yes.”

I knew it…. If you can’t be honorable, why do that in front of your


child? Yeo-woon decided that if he had the chance later, he would
advise Yoon Ji-gu that he should not act in front of the child because
it might be harmful to the child.

***

The fried rice prepared by Ji-gu Yoon had the taste of a large
company. It didn’t look like it was homemade, but it was pretty good
for a meal. By the time I finished lunch and was clearing the table, it
started raining outside the window. It was early summer.

Yeo-woon looked out the window for a while, feeling the cool air from
the air conditioner on his skin. Next to Yeo-woon, Young is lying face
down, diligently drawing in his sketchbook with crayons. The child
hummed and nodded.

“What are you drawing now, Young?”

“Uncle monster….”

Young drew a smiling face on the messily drawn human figure. Next
to him, a small child was holding his hand. On the subject of
monsters, it is clearly revealed that he likes his uncle a lot. Yeo-woon
chuckled as he followed Yun Ji-gu’s image reflected in the window
with his eyes. Why are you going back and forth so restlessly?

“Yoonyoung….”

Yun Ji-gu, who was lingering five steps away, asked quietly.

“Aren’t you sleepy?”

At those words, Young raised his head and looked at his uncle.

“Why?”

“you…you…Normally, you go to sleep right after eating. I need to


sleep.”

“I can’t sleep, why do I have to sleep?”


Ji-gu Yoon tried to speak at those words, but pursed his lips. His
gaze moved to Yeowoon. As soon as Yeowoon made eye contact
with him, she started laughing silently. It seemed like he was still
feeling awkward about himself. I wanted to send myself home as
soon as possible, but my nephew was busy drawing pictures after
eating lunch without going to bed, so it was quite frustrating.

“… Hey, look at me for a second.”

“Me?”

“….”

Are you finally getting kicked out? I was curious what he would say.
Yeo-woon got up from his seat with a smile and followed Yun Ji-gu.
He brought Yeo-woon into the kitchen, and when he was out of
earshot, he muttered in a low voice.

“Don’t play with him. That means I’m not sleeping any more.”

“huh? “I just sat next to him.”

Ji-gu Yoon glared at him with suspicion, but it was true. Young filled
up three pages of his sketchbook while chatting alone, and Yeo-
woon sat next to him and only added a hint of humor to his words.

“…Yunyoung! “Do you want some cookies?”

Ji-gu Yun suddenly turned his head and called out to Young. The
child raised his round head and his eyes lit up.
“uh! But my dad told me to keep an eye on my uncle because he
didn’t want him to get fat and become a pig….”

“Uncle, I don’t eat.”

“Then Youngie, do you want to eat?”

“You’re playing alone. You need help from the uncle next door so
you can eat quickly, Yunyoung.”

Young nodded excitedly. Ji-gu Yoon hurried into the kitchen as soon
as Young turned his head.

“How can I help you?”

When Yeo-woon rolled up his sleeves and showed his enthusiasm,


Ji-gu Yoon was openly disgusted.

“Okay, so I just sit in front. If you leave it like that, you’ll sleep in a
while.”

“But I….”

Yeowoon accidentally knocked over the water cup on the table while
trying to remove it. Yun Ji-gu threw a dry dishcloth on top and
sighed.

“It’s disturbing.”
He spoke firmly and took out the ingredients to make the dough and
started mixing them in a large bowl. Seeing that he was able to do it
skillfully without even looking for anything, it seemed like it wasn’t
something he had only done once or twice. Yeowoon, the saboteur,
looked at the items on the table and looked around. Then he found a
print placed on a chair.

“…?”

On the print, which was white and crisp as if it had never been
opened at all, were the words ‘Daehan University, Week 1 of Human
and Society’ written on it. Below that, the names of certain
philosophers were also listed.

“… Is this a liberal arts class?”

Yeowoon mumbled quietly and skimmed through the printed matter.


But it’s been a while since the semester started and it’s only week
1…. Yeo-woon flipped through about ten pages of handout and
looked at Yun Ji-gu, who was busy doing something.

“Mr. Earth. Do you go to Daehan University?”

“yes?”

“Isn’t it Daehan University?”

“…How….”
Jigu Yoon closed his eyes without even hiding his shock. He was a
very cautious person. It’s my first time seeing someone like that.
Yeowoon picked up the handout and waved it roughly in the air a
couple of times. Only then did Yun Ji-gu’s expression regain its
calmness.

“You seem to be surprisingly good at studying.”

“… Unexpected?”

“Because you go to Daehan University.”

“….”

Yun Ji-gu was speechless for some reason.

“My friend went here again and again.”

“…ah.”

“Well, I’ve graduated now. What kind of department is Mr. Earth?”

Yun Ji-gu paused for a while, then wiggled his black eyebrows and
asked.

“… You really don’t know?”

“yes? “How do I know that?”


When Yeo-woon asked as if it were absurd, Ji-gu Yoon said, ‘Well.’
He shook his head.

“… It’s a business school.”

“Wow, then isn’t there a lot of studying and taking tests…? . Didn’t
you say you were going to binge-watch all the lectures in one day?”

It seemed like I had heard something like that the last time I met his
eldest brother. I even thought that I was very good at registering for
classes because I was going to attend a lot of lectures in one day.
Although I was a little worried about the exam period, I thought I
wouldn’t have to worry if I got into Daehan University. I’ll take care of
it….

“By the way, I heard that there is a good kimchi hangover soup in
front of Daehan University.”

“It’s dirty in there.”

“I see….”

Actually, I don’t know much about that. I was just trying to form a
consensus. …But how did I know this? After thinking about it for a
while, Yeowoon recalled a review of a restaurant on a map app that
passed through his mind.

Kimchi Haejangguk Daehan University Branch


★★★★★ I stayed up all night and was craving hangover soup
haha.

“…?”

Oh, that’s right. It was a mark left at Cafe Earth by someone who
only went to restaurants near Daehan University. I don’t know why I
came all the way to this place and clicked ‘not recommend’ after
reviewing for a month, but it’s probably just a coincidence. There are
people who commute from here to Daehan University, so is the
distance a problem? Maybe it was because the coffee wasn’t to my
taste.

Yeowoon muttered to himself and then raised his head. Yun Ji-gu
was staring at Yeo-woon.

“why?”

“…No, because you keep mumbling.”

“ah….”

This damn habit needs to be corrected quickly. It seemed like it was


pointed out several times these days.

“I’m sorry if it was loud. I guess it’s a habit.”

Yeo-woon smiled awkwardly with her mouth closed, and Ji-gu Yoon
could only look at Yeo-woon with a strange gaze. Yeo-woon wanted
to tell Yun Ji-gu that there was white flour on his cheek, but he
missed the timing because of the announcement that came out at
the same time as he raised his hand.

-An announcement will be made from the management office. The


owner of the silver vehicle, license plate number 6338, is requested
to move the vehicle blocking the entrance to another location. Once
again at the management office….

“6338 again?”

I definitely remember the same broadcast aired last week. It


seemed like a couple of times a week, the same vehicle would park
strangely and an announcement would be made. If you can
remember the license plate number, then everything has been said.
Silver Audi, 6338. Yeo-woon also felt uncomfortable because
sometimes the car was parked right in front of the entrance.

“Who is it, really? Why do you always park like that? “Right?”

Yeowoon grumbled. Yun Ji-gu looked at him, blinked his dark eyes,
washed his dough-covered hands in water, and quietly lifted up his
cell phone. The dough he made was so lovely that he almost wanted
to take a picture.

“…Uh, hello?”

“…?”

Contrary to Yeo-woon’s expectations, Ji-gu Yoon suddenly called


somewhere.
“uh. Mom, where are you now?”

…mom?

“You’re going there again and playing? …No, don’t hang up. There
was an announcement and my mom told me to get out of the car
quickly. So why do you always park here? “There are seats next to
the cafe too.”

“…!”

“What are you talking about? It’s wider there…. Last weekend too,
you left your car parked strangely at night. Was there an
announcement made back then? …No, I’m not confronting you….”

Poetry, poetry, poetry, shit…!

‘Why do you always park like that, right?’

ruined! I felt like the blood in my whole body had cooled. Yeo-woon
remembered what he said just a minute ago and was overcome by
the thought of picking up what he had said. Yeo-woon waited for
Yoon Ji-gu to hang up and came up with an excuse.

“Anyway, get out of the car and go.”

Jigu Yoon hung up the phone. Yeowoon took a deep breath and
opened his mouth to try to sum up what I had said as best as he
could.
“There’s no place to park around here…!”

Jigu Yoon saw me looking unusually nervous and snorted softly.

“That’s Okay. There are a lot of places to park, but it’s a hassle to
get into the parking lot.”

Actually, Ji-gu Yun didn’t seem to care much about what I said, but
Yeo-woon’s words were stuck in Yeo-woon’s mind the whole time. To
curse my family, and that includes my mother…. Ji-gu Yoon put the
lump of dough in the refrigerator and was looking at his phone, not
paying attention to Yeo-woon’s restlessness. It seemed like he was
communicating with his mother who was coming to pick up the car.

Pong!

“…?”

At that time, for the first time in a while, Yeowoon’s cell phone heard
the sound of a Whole Blue chat arrival, and after a week, a message
arrived from Earth Star.

「Earth: ㅁㅔlongㅇㅠㅇ」

“What is it, you bastard?”

Is it crazy to say that he disappeared for a week without a reply and


is now doing it? It was so absurd that I just laughed. Yoon Ji-gu, who
had been communicating with his mother with an expressionless
expression, looked up and expressed his curiosity at Yeo-woon’s
muttering.

“why?”

“…No, I received a strange text message from a friend I know.”

Yeowoon mumbled an excuse, turned his phone on silent mode and


laid it face down on the table. Ji-gu Yoon, who thought he would
ignore me like this, for some reason asked me again about the
identity of that sound.

“Didn’t you just get a text message? “Why aren’t you replying?”

“I’ll do it later. It’s okay because he’s not that important.”

“… Who is it?”

“I just found this person on the Internet.”

“What is it? game?”

Is it just a game after all? . Since I was skeptical about human


relationships I met on the Internet, I didn’t want to talk about
meeting people through games and exchanging messages, but I
also gave up because I didn’t have much of a chance to make
friends outside of games.

“Yes…yes. He’s my gaming friend.”


“Are you close with that person?”

huh? Why are you asking this?

“not really….”

“…Are you not close? why?”

“yes? just… I’m not close with you.”

I just answered that I wasn’t that close because we weren’t that


close. I wondered what was the problem.

“that… Aren’t we close enough to even contact each other?”

“no way. It’s not like that.”

Ji-gu Yoon asked earnestly with an indifferent face. Although it was a


topic that I wasn’t particularly curious about, Yeo-woon was excited
because I thought it might be a sign of reconciliation.

“… Wouldn’t that person be disappointed if I said that?”

“That’s Okay. It’s probably not something you listen to anyway.”

“….”

“You can reply later, but right now I’m talking to Mr. Earth.”
Even though he tried to please her, Yun Ji-gu didn’t say anything
after that. Without saying a word, he slammed the cookie mold on
the rolled out dough, and Yeo-woon was just puzzled. Because he
seemed to be in a bad mood. I couldn’t even guess where I made a
mistake.

“Oh, the spirit is sleeping.”

The living room was so quiet that when we checked, the child
stopped drawing while humming to himself and fell asleep with his
cheek pressed down on his sketchbook. At Yeo-woon’s words, Yun
Ji-gu took the blanket lying on the sofa and casually placed it on the
child.

“Then I’ll just leave.”

I knew that I had been sitting down for too long. As Yeo-woon
gathered his things and stood up, Yoon Ji-gu grabbed him by the
back of his neck. At that moment, Yeowoon got caught in his clothes
and started choking. Yun Ji-gu looked down at him and pursed his
lips, but then couldn’t say he was sorry and continued what he had
been meaning to say.

“…Take some cookies. My nephew can’t eat it all by himself


anyway.”

“…uh? Really?”

“Then it must be fake?”


Jigu Yoon tried to joke with me with a face that didn’t look like he
was joking at all. Does he know how to tell jokes? Yeowoon stared at
him with wide eyes. Yoon Ji-gu poured cookies onto a white plate
and held them out to Yeo-woon.

“I’ll enjoy it.”

The golden brown cookies looked delicious. Yeowoon was secretly


impressed. A boy who studies well enough to attend Daehan
University and has a handsome face is also a good cook.

“…And, I’m replying to that from earlier.”

“yes?”

“….”

Ji-gu Yoon looked closely at Yeo-woon’s face and then moved his
gaze to his hand. Yeowoon saw that the end of his gaze was on her
cell phone and let out an exclamation.

“Oh, that? all right. We’ll have to do it later.”

He also seemed to have a surprisingly meticulous side. Have we


become friends at this point?

“I had a delicious lunch. Next time I….”


Before Yeowoon could finish speaking, the front door slammed in his
face. What happened to my personality? It was very difficult to
become friends with the man next door. He doesn’t talk much and I
don’t know what he’s thinking…. Yeowoon looked down at the warm
cookies in his hand with a puzzled expression.

The girl next door gave me cookies

After a while, the answer came.

Seonyong

Have we become friends yet?

Jeong Se-hyung

Jingle right; Yeo-woon Lee is ignoring reality again haha.

Seonyong

Miyeonsiㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

“….”

Only then did Yeo-woon realize that he had been acting as if he was
trying to attack Yoon Ji-gu. In fact, it seems like it was me who was
playing the game, not Yoon Ji-gu.
***

Poseidon’s first battle to conquer Isis was a mess. As Illusion was an


event prepared with great care, the game was played with a system
that was quite different from the existing game system.

As briefly stated in the event description, simply put, it is a ‘castle


defense game’. It was a system where you won by protecting your
base, capturing the opponent’s castle, and destroying it. That means
that you have to be good at both defense and attack to win. No
matter how familiar you are with PVP, if you can’t protect the castle,
that’s where it ends. Not all guild members were familiar with this
castle defense system.

It was the same for the opposing guild, Romanos. They were as
confused as Poseidon.

‘I’m so out of my mind. Hasn’t the genre changed?’

Everyone strongly agreed with what someone said in the entire chat.
This was like an FPS game. Nearly twenty guild members were not
assigned a single role and moved as they pleased. Because of this,
some people died helplessly while moving forward, while others
stood still and stupidly and died after being hit by the opposing
guild’s AoE.
Poseidon won the first battle by a narrow margin, but if one more
person had died or the durability of the castle had dropped by 3
percent, it would have been lost in the battle for Isis.

I was wondering what the hell was going on and the game ended in
a haphazard manner. Yeowoon glanced over the battle report and
realized something. I don’t know what kind of cub it was, but one
was responsible for half of all deaths.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Wow, half of the deaths among our
allies are just one person haha.

[Guild] neutaaaa:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha so funny who is this?

Yeowoon shook his head at the cat’s words and clicked on the
graph. Then, a death report in the form of a circle graph unfolded in
detail, and the contributions and death shares of guild members
were displayed in detail in numbers on the graph.

‘neutaaaa’

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Wow, half of our team’s kills are
Newta!!!!!
“…uh?”

…It’s really me, right?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] al0ha: Who are you?<<<< Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] neutaaaa: ….

[Guild] Kitty cat cat: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Kidney Rat: ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: I am my enemy –neutaaaa

[Guild] al0ha: You’re talking like a famous saying.

It was me. I can’t believe I died so many times! If I hadn’t said


anything, I wouldn’t have felt this shame. Yeowoon felt the heat
rising to his face and pressed his cheek with the back of his hand.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Oh, but Newta died more than the
healer Cockroach!! Roach came in 2nd place.
[Guild] Park Hwibugrae: Haha, it’s so funny, but you’re Park
Hwibugrae, but you can’t read Korean?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅡㅡBroadcast work

[Guild] Cat cat cat cat: Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss…thief

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: That’s awesome, you hit two people in


one word…thief

[Guild] Wandu Wandya:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha the art of work type

“….”

Cat Meow Meow Meow wasn’t doing anything wrong, but it was
annoying for no reason. It’s not that I said anything wrong, but is it
really necessary to spit out the results of a report like that for
everyone to see? I have eyes too. I’m watching. Yeo-woon began
blaming others, quietly erasing the fact that she had agreed with his
words in the first place from her mind.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: It’s okay! Haha, but the important thing is
that we won even though there were so many deaths of our troops.
Because the result is more important than the process~!!!! We can
do better next week! Newta, next time, don’t be rash and do your
best so you don’t die like this~^^ Come on!

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Isn’t that Meg?


I’m sorry, but I did my best today.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Ah yes;

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Hahahahahahaha look at the reaction

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: I guess I worked hard haha.

[Guild] al0ha: Captain, just stay still;;

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ Ajaaaja ㅇㅈㄹ

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Gilma is the worst.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: What am I?

It may not have been intentional. Captain Poseidon’s words were the
kindest of these, but they were also the ones that hurt Yeo-woon the
most. Still, he is a warm-hearted person who wants to encourage
you. Yeowoon sighed with a bitter smile on his face.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Haha?

[Guild] Park Hwibug: LOL?

[Guild] al0ha: Haha?

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Are you crying?^^


[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅡㅡ

Take back what I just said. These guys are all the same. Why are
they so good at this game when everyone seems to be knocked out
with just one hit? Was it just an illusion after eating? In fact, the one
who appears to be the strongest here is himself, but it is strange
that the number of deaths is the highest…. There was definitely
some conspiracy.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I want to practice, but I can’t even practice siege


warfare.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Ah, the guilds that ran the siege ahead
of us in the morning are now in an uproar by suggesting that we
make a practice mode right away.

After hearing those words, I immediately went to the Illusion


homepage and saw that there were a lot of people who wrote so
much that the general writing was completely buried. If you click on
the detailed information, you will see all the surgery, melody,
vermot…. They were all guilds that had finished the siege today.

There were occasional reviews from people who watched today’s


siege, but even when I searched with the keyword ‘Poseidon’ in the
lingering feeling, I got the answer ‘Poseidon won.’ There were only a
few posts like ‘If this happens, will it be combined with surgery?
LOL.’ It’s not even the finals, so I wonder who would have taken a
video and uploaded it as a spectator….

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: I think…I think it will be faster to learn the


meta by watching the video!
[Guild] neutaaaa: I’m looking for it but I can’t find itㅜㅜㅜㅜㅜ

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Do you think Earth Star will take a video
every time?

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: ㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋ It seems like it’s almost become


a habit since I was suspected of nuclear weapons….

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: I might have taken a picture today, so I’d


like to ask Earth Star….

However, Earth Star left the game immediately after the siege
ended. He came in without saying a word, only participated in the
siege, and left immediately as soon as the victory sign appeared.
Come to think of it, Earth Star didn’t even chat a word today. There
was definitely something about him having a change of heart.

‘ㅈi9dal has accessed the game.’

At that time, Earth Star joined as a secondary character. I don’t


know how the timing is so perfect.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: I heard that even tigers will come if I tell
them haha.

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: ? Me?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Yes haha


[Guild] ㅈi9dal: Heheung

[Guild] Cat Cat Me Cat: Why are you doing that?

Captain Poseidon, who returned to the guild room, used ‘Gather All’.
All guild members were summoned into the guild room by
Poseidon’s guild skill, and of course, the Earth Moon character with
black dots under the Earth Star’s eyes was also summoned by the
skill.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Earth Star

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Nyuta has something to say.

Yeowoon was shocked at those words. I thought Captain Poseidon


would personally tell them to release the video, but they even used
the power of everyone to tell me directly. Earth Star came to sit in
front of Yeowoon and used question mark emoticons one after
another. The loud sound effect makes my ears hurt.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Earth Star, if you filmed a video of the Isis battle
today, could you share it with me?

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: Why me?

The words just came out as if there was no hesitation. Yeowoon’s


eyes widened at the unexpected reaction. ‘I didn’t take a picture.’ or
‘I’ll give it to you.’ I expected it to be one of the two, but I didn’t
expect him to show that he didn’t want to give it to me.
[Guild] Park Hwibugae: They said it wasn’t from Earth, but they
answered today hahahaha

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: Ah! I’m not from Earth, but I’ll hurry.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: It’s already too late

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: Why the video?

[Guild] neutaaaa: I want to see why so many people die.

No matter what, it is a serious matter that the number of deaths is


greater than that of healers. In fact, in the last 2:2 PVP, Yeowoon
had more deaths than expected. If I hadn’t begged, ‘Please save
me,’ I would have died five or six times more. This was not a
problem that could be solved through practice. I had to watch the
video dozens of times to find out what the problem was and analyze
the cause.

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: With bare mouth?

[Guild] neutaaaa: What do you want?

[Guild] Ji9dal: Specifically? I don’t really feel like I’m being ripped off
by a beggar…lol

For some reason, Earth was so upset today. Why is he like this
these days? I didn’t even know that puberty was coming late. What
do you have to give to Earth? Yeowoon looked through the
equipment column and soon gave up. Earth already has everything,
or there are only items that are not needed. What does Earth lack?
As Yeowoon was thinking deeply, a thought passed through his
mind.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Would you like my cloak?

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: Even if I give it, it won’t go away;

[Guild] neutaaaa: Hmm….

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Wow, isn’t that a proposal?

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: It’s like he said he would give everything, but
he was rejected hahaha.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Please, we are close.

The Earth Star, which was jumping above Yeowoon’s head, suddenly
stopped in place. He moved and twitched pixel by pixel, and only
after a brief pause did he speak.

[Guild] i9dal: We…Are you close?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ?ㅇㅇ

[Guild] i9dal: How much…?


[Guild] neutaaaa: Damn

[Guild] Ji9dal: Don’t do that…Really how much??

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅈ~~~~~~~ㄴ

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Wow, you seem really close friends~

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: Haha…lol

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: I really like it.

[Guild] al0ha: ㅈ~~~~~~ㄴ <<ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] Park Hwibeolae: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Would I have been satisfied with this? Yeo-woon decided to wait for
Earth Star’s answer.

[Whispering] Ji9dal: Are you serious about that?

Did it! If you reach a whisper like this, you’re halfway there.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ

[Whisper] ㅈi9dal: You’re the closest to me, right?


[Whispering] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇㅋ

[Whispering] i9dal: Is it true???

[Whispering] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋ

I don’t know why he dwells on this, but at least what Yeowoon said
wasn’t a lie. Fortunately, the person who talks the most in Illusion is
Earth. I was at least a little closer to him than to
Nyannyangnyangnyang, who actually helped me the most.

[Whisper] ㅈi9dal: Then

[Whispering] Ji9dal: You can call me hyung…?

“…?”

Haven’t you heard something similar before? At that time, Earth Star
asked me if he could call me brother. It was probably while I was
talking on the phone with Whole Blue. As stated in the Poseidon
Guild notice, the number one rule was ‘observe mutual
respect/personal friendship is absolutely prohibited’. No matter how
friendly they appear to be, they do not hesitate to talk to each other
and speak respectfully to each other, and because there is no
personal friendship within the guild, a harmonious atmosphere can
be maintained.

Yeo-Woon shook his head, although his personal curiosity briefly


arose as to what would happen if he stabbed Captain Poseidon with
what Earth Star had said. After all, I am not the type of person who
sticks to the rules so strictly.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: I could call you hyung^^

[Whisper] ㅈi9dal: ? That’s a bit;;

[Whisper] neutaaaa: But why?

[Whisper] ㅈi9dal: Don’t hateㅡㅡ

[Whispering] neutaaaa:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha It’s okay if I call
you but I’m just curious

[Whisper] ㅈi9dal: !!

The Earth Moon character jumped up and down in place. I don’t


know what he called his older brother, but he was surprisingly cute.
At first, I just thought it was silly…. Of course, it’s still less than it
was at first, but it’s still just as obnoxious. Meownyangnyangnyang,
who was planting pumpkins in the crop field, suddenly looked back
at the Earth Star, which was jumping around, and clicked its tongue,
saying it was a nuisance.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Should we keep it a secret instead? Don’t


call me while guild members can hear…When we’re alone

[Whisper] ㅈi9dal: Why? ㅇ_ㅇ


[Whisper] Ji9dal: Why do you have to keep it a secret…?

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Isn’t it a guild rule to ban bullying between guild


members?

[Whispering] i9dal: Ah….

Earth Star wrote an emoticon of enlightenment and clenched fists. A


yellow light bulb flashes above your head and then disappears. He
really had all kinds of emoticons. I don’t know how they know how to
use things that suit the situation right away. …Have you registered
an emoticon as a shortcut key?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Why don’t you call me?

[Whispering] Ji9dal: Hmm….

[Whispering] ㅈi9dal: I suddenly asked you to call me, so….thief

[Whispering] neutaaaa: I can’t do it because they laid the board lol.

I feel stupid. Yeowoon muttered to himself and stared at the Earth,


which was as solid as ice. At that time, a whole blue alarm sound
appeared on the cell phone that was lying face down next to the
mouse. When I unlocked the screen and entered the app, Earth Star
had sent a dot to the chat window and was in the voice channel.

“earth: .”
“….”

It felt like almost a week had passed. Yeowoon looked at the blue
circle indicating that he was online, and then he also connected to
the voice channel.

-brother.

“…yes?”

-….

“What did you just say….”

-…I said tongue, brother.

Earth Star suddenly cleared her throat, closed her mouth, and
became silent. The sound of swallowing was picked up by the
microphone. I was so embarrassed and suddenly my brother,
Taryeong, got wind of something. Yeowoon chuckled and kicked the
Earth Star character.

“Give me the video.”

-You wouldn’t know it just by looking anyway…. I’ll write down


everything about Romanos’ skills and give it to you with a report.

“Do you have a lot of time there?”


-Even if you write it down, it’s a mess. …But bro.

I always hear people call me ‘nim’, ‘newnim’, or ‘hey,’ but when I


suddenly hear them call me ‘hyung’, I feel embarrassed for no
reason. It seemed like it was because Earth was twice as
embarrassed as me. I couldn’t even count how many times he
cleared his throat.

-Why that…No, why won’t you tell me?

“I wonder if it will become a habit. If I’m caught talking informally to


that person by mistake, I think I’ll be kicked out of the guild.”

-…I got it first. But are you really closest to me?

“That’s right.”

-Are you really not lying at all?

“What do I have to gain by lying to you?”

-…But why….

“huh?”

-…Heh, that’s it. it’s nothing.

It’s bland. Yeowoon snorted and smiled faintly.


“But Earth Star, why did you suddenly create an alt character?”

-uh? …Hey, I want to have some alone time….

“Time alone?”

-There…Yeah, something like that. I have something to think about


for a moment. Why!

“No, you can say it with words. My ears almost exploded.”

The Earth Star looked embarrassed for some reason. …But what do
you mean? If you have something to think about, just think about it.
Why bother with an alt character? . Even kids like Earth think about
everything. amazing.

-brother. I can hear everything.

“…,”

It can’t go on like this. Yeowoon opened an Internet window and


searched for ‘How to change the habit of talking to yourself.’

A. Hmm, just talking to myself. In my professional opinion, as an


aspiring medical psychiatrist, I think it’s probably a manifestation of
depression. A case like the questioner’s appears in episode 68 of
Naver’s webtoon ‘Dr. Jordi’. Meet some people. There is a saying
that humans are social animals, right? If you meet a friend,
everything will be resolved. Awesome friend!! Then, please accept
the answer~^-^
The answer wasn’t entirely reliable, but even after looking at several
other examples of questions, I couldn’t find a clear answer. …Is it
really because it’s been a while since I met a friend? It’s been a
while since I’ve had a drink with friends since I got a job. When I
thought about that, my appetite suddenly changed.

Who wants chicken and beer at my house today?

Seonyong

Crazy guy, tomorrow is Monday. You can call me yesterday~

Jeong Se-hyung

I’ve been taking herbal medicine since last week haha.

Haha, I’ll eat alone. You guys are not true friends.

Seonyong

Don’t say anything^^ Stop sending messages, I’m with my girlfriend

Jeong Se-hyung

10 years is a long time, let’s break up relations soon.

“….”
I felt like I had made the wrong friend. They say friends are for their
own sake, but why are all my friends like that? Yeowoon had the
opportunity to look back on his life so far.

***

Thoughts of chicken and beer were on my mind all day. After putting
the game character in the experience hot spring, Yeo-woon started
vacuuming all over the house like she always did. As I was doing all
the housework I had put off, I realized that I had run out of toilet
paper and only one bottle of water was left.

“Ha, I can’t help it.”

If nothing else, water is a daily necessity. If you don’t buy it now, you
might die tomorrow. Because people die without water. Yeah, of
course….

I have no choice but to go to the supermarket and buy toilet paper


and water, and while I’m there, I also have to buy some snacks and
beer. These are all daily necessities that are indispensable at home.
Yeowoon quickly changed his clothes, thinking about filling the empty
refrigerator with alcohol. He checked whether it was raining outside,
confirmed that there was no need to take an umbrella, and opened
the front door.
“uh?”

“….”

At the same time, Ji-gu Yoon came out from next door, dragging
slippers. In his hand was a large garbage bag. As soon as he came
out, he saw the lingering sight and his shoulders trembled.

“Are you going to take out the trash?”

“Besides, I need to buy something for a moment.”

In response to Ji-gu Yoon’s answer, Yeo-woon nodded roughly and


pressed the elevator button. You can hear the elevator on the first
floor coming up and the red numbers are getting higher.

“So… Where are you going, at this hour?”

“Me?”

What’s going on? First, ask all these questions. Yeo-woon glanced at
Yun Ji-gu as if he was surprised. The door of the elevator that
arrived just then opened.

“Let’s go to the supermarket. I ran out of water.”

“You can just use a water purifier.”


“I bought bottled water and drank it.”

“It must be heavy.”

“So I’m going to have it delivered.”

Ding. The door opened with a sound indicating that we had arrived
on the first floor. Yeo-woon got out of the elevator, following Ji-gu
Yoon, who got off first. After coming out of the building, Ji-gu Yoon
threw the garbage bag into the general garbage disposal area and
turned around.

“…?”

“….”

Our eyes met. Yun Ji-gu, who was standing tall in his place and
staring at Yeo-woon, turned around and started walking slowly in the
direction where Yeo-woon was walking. Yeowoon tilted her head,
looking at his broad back. He said earlier that he had something to
buy, and it seemed like he was going to buy it. Are you going in the
same direction as me? Yeo-woon caught up with his steps and stood
next to Yun Ji-gu.

“Where are you going, Mr. Earth? “What are you buying?”

“jeon…shampoo.”

Yun Ji-gu hesitated before answering his words.


“The shampoo runs off pretty quickly! “Then are you going to the
supermarket?”

“Well, I guess they sell it there too.”

“Great! “Come with me.”

“Is that so….”

“…?”

What, did he eat something wrong? I thought you were going to


scream that you didn’t like it, but why are you being so rude today? I
feel an inexplicable sense of discomfort.

The sound of trudging along the bluish evening streets rang in my


ears. Even the flickering lights of the street lights were drowsy. It
was a familiar alley. Last time, I was walking in the opposite direction
because I was picking up a lemon that Jigu Yoon had dropped on
the street.

“Aren’t you going to run away today?”

“….”

Yun Ji-gu’s lips twitched at the question that suddenly occurred to


him. Even now, he seemed to be hesitating whether to run away or
not. How can people be so shy and like street animals? . Yeo-woon
slightly averted his gaze for Yoon Ji-gu, who was feeling burdened
and didn’t know what to do. The more I looked at him, the funnier he
seemed. What had been such a scary first impression was now
being forgotten.

“Mr. Earth.”

“why.”

“it’s nothing.”

“what. Then don’t call me.”

Jigu Yoon snorted. Normally, he would not even pay attention to


what I said. Ji-gu Yoon starts ahead without realizing it, then looks
back in shock, and then catches up with Yeo-woon again. It was a
strange feeling walking along the empty streets.

‘What you looking at. ‘Why are you looking at me?’

Strangely enough…. Our eyes meet.

***

“Do you have a hundred won?”


“yes?”

“Do you have any money?”

“….”

Ji-gu Yoon blinked blankly, searched his pocket, and handed a silver
coin into Yeo-woon’s hand. The coin is warm from his body
temperature. Yeo-woon pulled out a shopping cart, passed Yoon Ji-
gu, and started to enter the supermarket first. They’re getting ripped
off. Yoon Ji-gu muttered as he belatedly followed behind Yeo-woon.

“Please come quickly.”

“… Are you sure we’re going together?”

“Wow, watermelon is cheap?”

You can eat it all, right? Yeowoon picked up a head-sized


watermelon and put it in the cart. Yun Ji-gu’s eyebrows twitched as
he lightly chewed his words.

“We’re having a last-minute side dish sale! 10,000 won for a six
pack!”

“wow!”

Five packs of side dishes also fit into the cart.


“I do one plus one.”

I also put biscuits, which I often buy when I see them, in my cart. If
you buy one, they give you one more, but you’re a fool if you don’t
buy it. After going around three aisles, I couldn’t see the bottom of
the shopping cart. And beer…. Yeowoon put the whole box of
canned beer into the cart and looked around. Yun Ji-gu, who had
been silently following him, asked quietly.

“excuse me. Are you sure you came here to buy all of this?”

Only then did Yeo-woon look inside the cart and blink. I didn’t know
when I had put so much in it.

“…By the way, I enjoyed the cookies you gave me yesterday.”

“Are you changing your mind?”

“Did Youngie have a good time?”

“As you say that, you put it again….”

“… Go over there and get some shampoo.”

Yeowoon pointed with his chin to the area marked ‘Life/Health’. Yun
Ji-gu glanced at Yeo-woon suspiciously and then took a hurried step
forward.
Yeo-woon took advantage of the opportunity when Ji-gu Yoon wasn’t
looking and turned his attention to the ready-to-eat food that would
become a snack. He put the spicy stir-fried chicken gizzard into the
cart and covered it with the bag of snacks he had put in earlier to
hide the fact that one thing had been added. Ji-gu Yoon returned
with a large bottle of shampoo in his arms and looked through the
cart. Fortunately, he didn’t seem to notice.

“Why do you buy so much alcohol?”

“ah. I was originally going to invite my friends over for drinks


today….”

“Friends?”

“Didn’t you see it before? “When I move in.”

“…Ah, that slave….”

“That’s right, them. … I guess it’s because they called me suddenly


so I can’t come today.”

“….”

Yoon Ji-gu took two steps away from Yeo-woon. Yeowoon didn’t
even notice that and was saddened by the fact that he had to drink
alone. By the way, I have to return the plate of cookies I received
yesterday. I thought it would be a bit awkward to return the plate
with an empty plate, but rather give it something with something in it.
Even if it’s not necessarily food, give something in return….

“…!”

At that time, something caught Yeowoon’s eyes. The moment I saw


it, I thought, ‘This is it.’

“…what!”

“Gray is better.”

Yeo-woon looked at two things under Yun Ji-gu’s face, muttered to


himself, and put down the white bathrobe in its original place. The
clothes I was wearing right now were a gray T-shirt, so the gray
bathrobe suited me better. Yeowoon also put a dark gray bathrobe
into the shopping cart for the man who was struggling to cover up
his body. You can’t even dream of it being your own, right? I’ll have
to return the plate later and give it as a gift!

Ji-gu Yoon watched Yeo-woon walking with light steps towards the
cash register from behind, and his shoulders trembled.

***

“Hey, you don’t have to listen.”


“I already heard everything, so what?”

Ji-gu Yoon made an absurd expression as he put down the results of


Yeo-woon’s impulse purchases in front of the front door of Yeo-
woon’s house. I decided to have bottled water delivered tomorrow
morning and bring everything I bought today. Because there were so
many items, the box had to be divided into two, but Jigu Yoon lifted
the heavy box containing the watermelon and beer can boxes as if it
were natural. The whole way, I muttered to myself, asking if this is
why I asked you to come with me.

“Thank you, Mr. Earth.”

“…what.”

“Oh, right. I have something to give you, just wait a moment.”

Yeo-woon quickly entered the house and took out Yun Ji-gu’s plate,
which he had previously washed and wiped dry. Then, I placed a
plate on top of the bathrobe I had bought earlier and handed it out to
Yun Ji-gu, who was patiently waiting for me at the door.

“this.”

“….”

“You were surprised, right? It’s a gift. Wear it at the pool!”

It would be a very good gift for Yun Ji-gu, who still wears a swimsuit
and washes her hair.
“…At the swimming pool…A bathrobe… You want me to wear it?”

“yes.”

“…Are you sane….”

“Is there anything that won’t work?”

“….”

“Not so good? If you put it on after washing up…. They don’t use
pool towels and always use the ones they brought from home….”

Yun Ji-gu’s eyes were shaking wildly.

“I bought it because it reminded me of Mr. Earth.”

“… What do I think?”

It didn’t seem like he particularly liked it, but it didn’t matter. As soon
as I saw it, I knew I had to give it as a gift. As I write, the day will
come when even Yun Ji-gu will admire my insight.

“This… I will accept it.”

“yes.”
Ji-gu Yoon, who obediently accepted the bathrobe after much agony,
hesitated and then spoke vaguely.

“…But that’s all.”

“yes?”

“Let me make it clear now. I don’t care what they like or what their
tastes are. …Is it real? Because it’s private… It doesn’t matter as
long as it doesn’t bother me.”

“yes….”

“But I can’t go any further than this. Do you understand?”

It was a small but clear voice expressing my opinion. You have all
those aspects. Yeo-woon nodded, impressed by the fact that Ji-gu
Yun knew how to speak clearly in his own way, rather than the
content of what he said.

“we… We’re friends.”

“…?”

“Just friends. Let’s just sort it out there.”

Yeowoon froze at those words with his eyes wide open. Not anyone
else, but Yoon Ji-gu. The guy next door is shy and prickly, and
makes noise whenever he sees me. He reached out his hand to me
first with a trembling voice. Is it a dream? Yeowoon even pinched the
back of my hand, but it wasn’t a dream.

weird. When I first tried to talk to him a few times and get closer, he
just got irritated and I was curious about his change of heart.

“Mr. Earth….”

Anyway, I was so touched that he first asked me to be friends in a


cheesy way….

“why.”

“Then would you like to have a drink at my house to celebrate


becoming friends?”

The shampoo I’m holding right now…Take the dishes home and
leave them.

“I think all you have to do is come physically.”

As Yeowoon lightly glanced at Yunjigu’s body, his shoulders


trembled. The gray-faced man took a step back and frowned.

“…hey!”

“I said let’s be friends. That’s my name, isn’t it….”


“I don’t like it, I don’t like it! “I don’t drink.”

He returned to his usual self, screamed loudly, quickly entered the


door lock code, and ran away into his house.

“no… Then you can drink water.”

Yeowoon stared blankly at the closed door, then whined and entered
the house, carrying the results of his impulse purchases in front of
the door. 30 minutes had already passed when I started stuffing the
things I bought into the shelves and refrigerator.

After warming up the snacks and opening a can of beer, Yeowoon


sat down in front of the computer and was able to see the
appearance of his character abandoned in the middle of the snowy
field after the hot spring ticket time had expired.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Why aren’t you sleeping?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Ugh Newnim, is your dive over?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Didn’t you stay up all night all weekend? Are you
not sleeping?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ㄱㅊㄱㅊ Damn if you go to school


and sleep.

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: ㄷㄷBad Cat


Yeowoon clicked his tongue after checking the level of Cat Meow
Meow in the guild window. I wondered if I was really only eating and
playing games, or if I was really going to reach max level like this.
He didn’t even give up and stuck with Valkyrie….

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Newta, I called you earlier because I


wanted to ask you something, but you didn’t answer. What are you
doing here?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Since it’s the weekend, let’s vacuum…. I just went
to the supermarket to buy something.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I’m in a trance right now haha!

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Oh, you don’t live with your family either.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Wow, I sleep alone too.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Isn’t it a bit weird to drink alone? I was


so bored.

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋ So I asked the person next door, but


he said he didn’t like it.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Huh, drinking with the neighbor? Are you
close?

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: How far away haha I guess we’re close haha
“….”

If you look at the fact that I said let’s be friends first today…Do you
feel like you’ve become friends?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ We’re close.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Wow, how can you do that? Haha, I don’t
even know the face of my neighbor….

[Guild] al0ha: I think Nyuta has a really nice personality. Normally,


the national rule is that only Gaejinsang lives in the neighboring
house….thief

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Didn’t you say before that Earth Star also
lives a pervert next door?

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: Haha….;;;;;

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Still not resolved? Hahahahaha

[Guild] Halloween Branch: 100th day of pet district origin ♥

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: ㅗ

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: How can you be friends with the
person next door…I used to get annoyed because the guy next door
kept smoking.
[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Haha, everyone who smokes at home should
be put to death.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: I…Dedicated team member! Peppermint


scent….lol

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: I didn’t ask you?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Looks like Mrs. Bugil is smoking at
her house hahahaha

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: I heard you hung up.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: I got stabbed and said the wrong thing;;

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Death penalty #Let’s go

It seemed like only strange people lived next door to everyone. It’s
not that Yeo-woon hasn’t met such people, but Ji-gu Yoon, who lives
next door, was definitely a person who was far from such truths.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: But the person next door must be so


pretty that I wanted to drink with them haha.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: But it’s a drama cliché to always have an


accident after drinking together.

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Roach, please stop dramas and novels


hahaha.
[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: It’s Park Hwi Bug;

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: So you’re pretty?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ? I’m a man

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Ah haha.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Drink red pepper and alcohol haha

What do you think? If you’re bored, we can drink together.

[Guild] neutaaaa: But he was handsome

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Ugh.

[Guild] al0ha: Oh yeah haha

[Guild] neutaaaa: It’s true

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: Hahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: ㄷㄷ….


There was an atmosphere of disbelief. It’s true…. A guy who looks
like that even asked me to be friends today.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I’ve decorated my current character to resemble


the one next door.

[Guild] al0ha: ?

[Guild] Kidney Rat: ???

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Yes?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahaha let’s date


hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] neutaaaa: No, it’s not a strange reason, I just like the style.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Wow, I saw a novel like this on Tube yesterday.
What was the title?

[Guild] Cat Cat Cat Cat: ?????????

[Guild] al0ha: Newta is no easy feat either.

[Guild] al0ha: Until recently, I thought Newta had unfortunately been


given the Earth Star…It turns out that it may have been the opposite
hahaha.
[Guild] Wandu Wanda: …thief

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Run away to Earth!

‘Ji9dal has terminated the connection.’

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahahahaha Earth Star


[Guild] Wanfan Wannah: ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ Really open species

Why is the reaction like this? As with Earth, I couldn’t understand the
psychology of the guild members at all. I think they just do it
because it’s fun to make fun of people. Yeowoon sipped his beer
and shook his head. It’s better to just pay attention. If you react for
no reason, you will end up being made fun of even more.

Title: Reason why reservists want to re-enlist.jpg


Written by: Uncapitalized Character/Wizard

I have something to ask!!

1. Everyone!! I’m going to train a wizard. Is heal tree better or just


empty tree better?

I’m not going to do anything real, so please recommend something


that costs less money and is easy to play! ㅠㅠ

2. I’ve only reached level 20, but is it better to be a mage or another


profession? I’m so confused because the words are all different…ㅜ

3. How do I join a guild? I also want to try the siege event….

post.

-One. It is better for a magistrate to take the Gongtri and advance to


that direction. Make good money too. 2. Except for a few net jobs,
choose the skill effect you like. 3. There is a party matching menu on
the menu, and there are many guilds that are always recruiting.

⤷ㄱㅅYes!

Title: Honestly, isn’t the siege system very different from the
direction of illusion? Looks like it needs a patch

Written by: Hanje/King Saber

hello. This is Hanje, the guildmaster of Ranker Guild Surgery.

There is really a lot to say about this siege event.

Illusion is not a sex-busting flash game (lol), so I wonder if this kind


of consumable content has any meaning. I had a hunch from the
time the Siege War content was announced in advance, but are you
going to follow the same route as the game next door? If you don’t
want to end up like Little Fore and see the stock price cut in half,
please reflect the suggestions of users.
1. Pre-occupation practice game function

Map base battles are possible all weekdays, but city domination
battles are only possible on weekends. But does it make sense for
the Conquest War content to end after just one round without even a
practice game? I think at least we need to include content that
allows guilds participating in the occupation war to practice on
weekdays.

A cooldown is required when constructing auxiliary buildings to


defend the castle during a defensive battle. While sourcing materials
and building a building, guild members die and the castle is
attacked…. The defense rate is higher if you just hit it with damage.
Is this really the content direction the management wanted? Please
remove the construction cooldown or increase the castle durability.

3. King Saber Barrier Nullified

King Saber’s barrier skill does not work at all. They said it was fixed,
but it wasn’t fixed at all. If you read my article, there is an article
comparing the damage with the barrier applied and the damage
without it. It seems to be a map bug issue, so please fix it.

(39 comments were registered.)

-Wow, surgery? Brother, don’t you accept gilgap?

⤷Hanje: Yes, the quota is full so we are not accepting sign-ups~^^

-Ranker Guild Gilma ends early in a network event that is ridiculous.


-I agree with every detail. I need a practice game mode.

-Is it easy to train King Saber?

-Ah, no matter what, Illusion is not Little Fore haha. Even though all
the users left there, they continued to put in an equipment
strengthening and destruction system, so the users who didn’t
already exist were cut in half haha.

⤷Hmm, if you strengthen Lipo now, the equipment will be


destroyed? LOL The only advantage was that it wouldn’t explode
even if you strengthened it, so why remove that?

⤷Hanje: Hello? I also played Little Forest 2, and this is my opinion. If


you have any objection to the article, please post separately ^^

-The comment above wasn’t really a fight, so why are you so angry?
Haha.

⤷I was watching the surgery match, and they almost lost, haha. I
guess I got nervous? There was a 1 point difference in score.

⤷Wasn’t the guild that didn’t even make it to the top 50 for those
with surgery?

⤷Hanje: I will sue you if you spread the rumor in the first comment.

⤷ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ 2 points
⤷ㄴㅋㅋㅋ Do you think everything will work if you just ignore the
accusation?

-But the Seonyul Gilma Aggro article has more recommendations


than this article written with teeth grinding.

⤷That bastard’s writings are plentiful…Is the anti-spam system not


working?

⤷ㄴI can’t figure it out because the title and content are different
every time.

-The ranker doesn’t matter either haha. Poseidon’s score gap with
Romanus isn’t that much.

⤷Fuck Seidon is more of a semi-ranker than a ranker guild haha. It


used to look like shit, but now it’s barely starting to shine…. There
aren’t enough rankers to join the ranker guild.

-Who are you meeting with this week?

⤷Seonyoul vs. Queen’s Knight/Poseidon vs. Surgery/Romanus vs.


KEPCO Powerhouse

>⤷Hmm, wasn’t Romanus and the Queen’s Knight separated?

⤷It seems like they were re-matched because the score difference
was ambiguous.
⤷It’s perfect for next week’s semifinals and next week’s finals~ With
the current score, 1st place is a surgery.

-From a third party’s point of view, I wouldn’t be surprised if Surgery


won the Isis match like this. There is a level difference compared to
other guilds, right? Haha.

⤷This guy’s surgery is Gil Won.

⤷ㄴ????ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

⤷Please show at least the sincerity that comes with a different ID.

⤷ Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

***

Perhaps because users were complaining so much on the bulletin


board, Illusion added a city capture battle practice game mode
during regular maintenance. Illusion users gave the game a thumbs
up for about a minute, saying it was a god game that did a good job
of gathering opinions, but as soon as a minute had passed, they
changed their comments to say it was a probability manipulation
manga game.
「Earth: [Go to video] 」

About a day after requesting the recorded video, Earth Star sent a
video link. It was a video filmed on the day of the occupation battle
with the Romanus Guild, and even then, subtitles were added and
the video stopped for a moment in places where the lingering effect
died. The explanation was so detailed that I was amazed at when it
was all edited.

Every time Yeo-woon was caught in the field of view of the Earth
Star, he was hit by the other person, and his eyes turned into X-
shapes, and he was resurrected again and again. Unlike Earth Star,
who eliminated the opposing guild members without a single
unnecessary thing, Yeo-Woon was no better than a fly.

In addition, Earth Star linked each scene of Yeo-woon’s death and


even added a comment to analyze the cause.

The part where he died after being hit by a normal hit from the
healer staff.

>No, to the healer…?LOL idiot…ㅇㅅㅇ This is just a case of death.


It looks like there is a problem with the equipment. Please capture it
and send me a picture.

The part where he suddenly died mysteriously while using a skill.

>The skill ‘[Hero] Shadow Clone (1 second delay)’ may be canceled


by King Saber and Night Spear-type silence/stun skills. The skill is
easily chewed up, so don’t use it unless you’re on cooldown.
As soon as he met the opponent King Saber, his stamina suddenly
decreased to 0 and he died mysteriously.

>LOL Why on earth did he die? Increase the automatic potion use
function to 70% health.

The part where Nyangnyangnyangnyang died righteously while


helping him.

>?? Nyangnyang is doing well, so please disturb me.

The part that fell from a high place.

>Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

“….”

I thought I would gain confidence after analyzing the cause, but


instead my self-destruction only worsened. There was no specific
reason for Yeowoon’s death, but it was all caused by a lack of
control or understanding of skills.

This is why I don’t enjoy PVP…. Illusion is not a production game,


but rather a battle-oriented game, so it was not only difficult.

「Earth: Tell me if there is something you don’t understand>_<」

There was also an explanation of the skills used by the opponent,


and even the timing of Yeowoon’s skills was explained in subtitles, so
there was no part that was difficult to understand. However, it
seemed difficult to show any development in the afterglow with just
this video.

“ㅠㅠWhat do you think my problem is in your eyes?”

「Earth: Hmm, it’s comprehensive.

“Earth: We can organize it all into one.”

“oh!!”

You only need to fix one thing. Yeowoon nodded eagerly and
concentrated on his words.

「Earth: Starting at 00:00」

Yeowoon scrolled the video for the first time with a serious face.

「Earth: Until 08:29 secondsㅇㅇ」

8 minutes 29 seconds.

“…what?”

This is the end of the video, right? So, it was a problem from
beginning to end. Yeo-woon, who was listening seriously, became
angry.
「Earth: Hahahahahahahaha」

「Are you laughing?^^」

「Earth: ㅜㅜㅜ」

That’s very harsh. Yeowoon deleted the chat window where he had
written ‘ㅗㅗㅗ’ and sighed. This was not a problem that could be
solved by pestering the Earth. They even gave me a video, so it
wouldn’t be polite to curse any further.

“But if you practice, you will improve….」

「Earth: Hmm?」

From the perspective of Earth, it seems like it is zero.

“It’s a shame, that’s your opinion;”

“Earth: The strange thing is, isn’t it because you’re a vulture?”

“Earth: The deal loss rate is just average….」

“Earth: Because humans are not machines and cannot make perfect
predictions and use skills every time, haha.”

“Right? Haha.”
“Earth: But why does it melt?”

“It wasn’t at the level of melting.”

“Earth: It’s melted!>_< Change the armor to something with different


options and try a practice game. I’ll tell the battery commander now.”

“Today?”

Not long after those words, a message arrived in the guild group
chat room.

Poseidon Captain

This evening, half and half of the guild members will practice before
taking over. If you would like to practice individually, please log in
briefly after 8 o’clock. I’m going to play several rounds, so it’s okay if
you come late. It’s not compulsory! Please only participate if you
have time^^

Pea peas

Pea peas

ㅡㅡ

Cat cat cat cat

I went out to watch a movie with my friends! I’ll be there soon

al0ha

Everyone, don’t be overly immersed in this useless life and buy


some games.

In addition, there were about ten guild members who expressed


their intention to participate. Since it was a weekday, there were
many more people who could not participate due to the sudden
notice of practice. However, Yeowoon knew that this practice game
was created because of me, so he felt a little burdened by the
remoteness of Earth. It didn’t end there.
「Earth: Please release the ban on equipment that can be worn
regardless of occupation!」

To prevent hacking, Illusion had a function that placed a ban on


valuable items, making them impossible to trade right away. Items
with a ban cannot be transferred to others, and it takes as little as
24 hours to as long as 48 hours to lift the ban.

「Earth: It can be traded after 24 hours, so I’ll lend it to you


tomorrow>_<」

However, Earth Star said that the ban on the items in my warehouse
character was lifted because of the lingering feelings. Aside from the
class weapons, I know that the armor alone costs a huge amount of
money. Yeowoon froze for a moment when he saw the capture that
Earth Star had sent saying that the ban had been lifted.

“… What if I get away with it?”

I was grateful that they added subtitles to each video, but I couldn’t
understand why they were trying to lend me equipment that they
said would never be sold. If it were me, I wouldn’t lend expensive
equipment to someone no matter how close I was.

“Why do you care so much?”

“Earth: If you die too many times, you lose.”

“I see”
I didn’t really think that my equipment was incredibly expensive. The
guild must win the conquest war, and if Yeowoon’s death affects the
outcome, he can even lend expensive equipment. To put it simply, it
means that Earth is crazy about winning and losing games.

「Earth: But where on earth are you now? Why doesn’t the illusion
come on?”

“I’m still outside….」

「Earth: Why? “I went out first.”

“Where are you going?”

「Earth: Ah」

「Earth: Ugh」

「Earth: Yes」

「Earth: Yesterday」

As if writing and deleting a message, the other person’s chat page


says ‘…’ The mark appeared and was erased repeatedly.

「Earth: After leaving the game」

“The word ‘Earth:’ haha.”


Did you hesitate so much to say this one thing? And why are there
so many typos all of a sudden?

「Earth: So where are you coming? Haha」

“… When are you coming in?”

Yesterday, I was so sleepy that Yeo-woon disconnected first, and


that seems to be why he said this. It’s not even a day or two that I
turn off the game first. Is there a rule that if I leave early the day
before, I have to log in earlier today? He’s a weird guy. Yeowoon
smiled and sipped half of the remaining coffee. I came out of the
swimming pool only half-dried, and my hair, slightly wet at the ends,
fluttered across my forehead.

“Let’s go in right away.” “Because it’s in front of my house.”

「Earth: Huh? “Where is it in front of the house?”

“I went to the gym and then came to the cafe.”

But did you change the coffee beans? It feels much more flavorful
than the original coffee. Yeowoon looked blankly at the counter, then
made eye contact with the female employee inside. Since I came
often because it was in front of my house, I was familiar with the
people who worked at Cafe Earth. He smiled faintly out of politeness
and turned his attention back to his phone.

「Earth: What cafe??」


「Earth: Why kkpe?」

「Earth: That’s the house….」

「? Anmul」

「Earth: Why did you go? Is there anyone waiting for you?」

What are you talking about earlier? He goes to a cafe to meet


people. Let’s go get a drink.

“Earth: Why is it God?”

「Earth: Over there??」

「Earth: Brother….」

“Earth: Who are you really waiting for?”

“Earth: Why aren’t you replying?”

「Earth: While reading!!」

It’s so fucking loud. How do I get rid of the app message vibration
function? Instead of wandering through the settings window,
Yeowoon decided to come back and kill the troublesome Earth Star
first.
“It’s noisy. Obsessed.”

“I didn’t come here to meet anyone.”

“I only drank one cup of coffee today and I was craving caffeine.”

“I’ll be gone soon, so don’t fuss.”

「Reply」

Yeowoon put the coffee he was drinking on the table, grabbed his
wallet and headed to the counter to buy a drink to take home. I
exchanged greetings with a familiar cafe employee and ordered a
hot Americano. The cell phone lying carelessly on the table vibrated,
and a message pop-up window appeared on the screen.

“Earth: Why are you angry at me?”

***

Before going up to the house, Yeo-woon glanced toward the


resident’s mailbox to take the accumulated mail with him, but blinked
when he saw a stranger. On this hot summer day, a person wearing
a black hood was rummaging through mailbox number 902.
“hello.”

“….”

Yeo-woon approached him first, wondering if he was a resident, and


said hello, but he only shook his shoulder without even looking at
him. Yeowoon looked down at him and realized something.

“Are you the person who lived in room 902?”

“to?”

Occasionally, mail would arrive in room 902 under the name of


someone other than Yeo-woon’s name. It seemed like the name of
someone who lived there before. It seemed like I had missed a few
address changes while moving.

“I just moved into room 902. I put all the items that came in error in
the return box….”

Yeo-woon looked down at the mail in the man’s hands. He must


have been looking at each piece of mail, and there were card
payment bills and advertising flyers with Yeowoon’s name written on
them.

“Would you like to give it to me for a moment?”

Yeo-woon almost took the mail from him and went through it one by
one, looking for something that wasn’t in his name and decided to
give it to the man.
Lee Yeo-un, Lee Yeo-un, Lee Yeo-un, subscriber, what is it? It’s all
mine. Yeo-Woon Lee, Yeo-Woon Lee, Yeo-Woon Lee, Customer
Yeo-Woon Lee…. …Yoon Ji-gu?

“I don’t think there’s anything wrong, but is there any special mail
you’re looking for? “Please leave your number and I will contact you
when I arrive.”

“no. That’s it.”

“Or should I send it to you? “What is your home address?”

“It’s done.”

The man hit Yeowoon’s shoulder with his own and hurriedly left the
building. What was in such a hurry? As soon as I left the building, I
saw him putting his hat down and running away. He seems to be
very shy. Yeo-woon turned his head with a puzzled expression and
put the mail that had arrived for Ji-gu Yoon back in box 901.

It seems that the postman was in a hurry and made a mistake in


sorting. Anyone can make mistakes.

‘neutaaaa has joined the game.’

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Hello~^^

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hahaha

[Guild] al0ha: Haha

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Did you get here quickly?

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: haha

[Whispering] i9dal: Why are you so late ㅡㅡ

It’s not too late, is it? If you logged in within 30 minutes of receiving
the last message…. Isn’t it fast? Yeowoon muttered as he wiped his
wet hands on a towel.

The guild members were all gathered together in the guild room and
playing. Catfish watering crops and Halloween eggplant plucking
mature crops. And the Park Hwi bug that sits and dives….

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: Cheoneulrim

‘Ji9dal has terminated the connection.’

‘ㅈi9Star has accessed the game.’


[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: It’s so fast.

Earth Star, who returned to the main character with a speed option,
flew around the guild room at a speed that made it difficult to see the
character properly. Fly. It’s really crazy…. Yeowoon stopped looking
at the Earth and shook his head.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Unpack the equipment.

Yeowoon granted permission to view the equipment as told by Earth


Star to ‘all’. It wasn’t a piece of equipment with particularly great
options, but since everyone blocked the device viewing function, I
thought I should do the same, so I blocked it.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Can I ask you just one question?>_<??

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: What did you do at the cafe?

[Couple] neutaaaa: How do you like my equipment?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: What have you been doing to come so late? Is it
because you just want to come up and you start to regret it? Is that
why? Haha

Who cares?

[Couple] neutaaaa: First, let’s go for a run with the current


equipment. Just be careful about skill cancellation, right?
[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Wow, you chew your words freely?

Because it’s not worth dealing with. Moreover, if the planet Earth
reacted, it would react in the same way, so the correct answer was
to just ignore it. Earth Star kept muttering that she had a bad
personality and that she regretted it, but Yeo-woon, as always, didn’t
even respond. It was almost like a visual ASMR for Earth Star to
have meaningless chatter, as it was an everyday occurrence.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Well, it looks like we’ve all gathered


together. Shall we start a practice game?

[Guild] Halloween branch: ㅇㅇ

Captain Poseidon spoke to the NPC and selected the siege practice
mode. It seemed like he divided the teams arbitrarily.

Lingering was on the same side as Earth Star, and on the other side
were King Saber, Halloween Branch, and Cat Meow Meow. A red
light came on in the guild room, which was filled with gentle green
light.

You have selected ‘Practice Guild PVP Conquest Ver. (Isis). Points
earned in practice matches are not reflected in the guild ranking.’

‘Go to the event map.’

[Party] Captain Poseidon: I think it would be better to first learn the


pre-conquest meta first.
[Party] Captain Poseidon: About one or three rounds? We will first
test the efficiency of the arrangement of the auxiliary buildings.

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Huh?? I came back after brushing my teeth.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: It hasn’t started yet haha.

The Earth Star began destroying small bricks flying around the map.
The castle that guild members had to protect was automatically built
when the bricks were destroyed.

The problem was the annex building.

Victory and defeat seemed to depend largely on the level of the


supply depot, which produced small robots to assist allies’ attacks,
and the level of the hospital building, which restored the efficiency of
healers and the stamina of all guild members. Yeo-woon also saw
that someone had recorded the surgery battle, and the surgery
barely achieved victory with an offensive strategy that focused only
on the supply depot without building a hospital.

However, the method used by the surgeon was not necessarily the
correct answer. As everyone pointed out, the number of guild
member deaths was so high that the guild only won by 2 points
compared to the opposing guild. I felt that the hospital building must
be built even if it was of a low level.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: First, I will only take photos of the hospital
building up to level 2. Park Hwi, please check the difference in heel
amount.
[Party] Park Hwibugae: Yes~! Haha

[Party] neutaaaa: Cockroach, fighting

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: Fighting?

[Party] al0ha: Hahahahahahahahaha

Yeo-woon, who was not guilty of cheering but could not even get his
money’s worth, kept his mouth shut. In fact, it was intentional…. I
thought it was ridiculous that he had a nickname like that and then
got upset every time he was called a cockroach.

The defense team, including Captain Poseidon, remained near the


fortress and began discussing how to set up a supply station or
hospital. As soon as the construction of the fortress was completed,
Earth Star crashed into the gate and seemed to be waiting for the
battle to begin. It seemed funny that he kept jumping up and down,
as if he couldn’t stay still even for a moment.

‘The battle has begun!’

Just like last Sunday, a loud trumpet sound sounded. Yeoun turned
his back on the defense team, who had begun to study the efficiency
of the annex building construction, and began to run along the Earth
Star. Everyone had their own goal that they wanted to test out in the
practice game, and in Yeowoon’s case it was ‘not to die as much as
possible’.

‘Ji9Star has begun attacking the enemy’s fortress!’


The Earth Star, which was flying at a much faster speed than others,
seemed to have already reached the enemy camp. It was seen that
the durability of the opponent’s castle was being gradually reduced.
Valkyrie’s weakness is simple. Although the single damage is strong,
it is also easy to avoid. Yeo-woon jumped up to avoid the chain of
Cat Meow Meow approaching in front of him, and at that moment,
he was hit by Halloween Branch’s fist and his back was broken.

Yeo-woon was embarrassed that half of his stamina was lost in an


instant and hid behind Park Hwi-rae. He repeatedly pressed the
stamina potion shortcut key.

[Party] Park Hwibug: ?No

While the potion’s cooldown was running out, Halloween Eggplant


surrounded Catfish with a shield to protect it, and taking advantage
of the gap, Catfish Catfish’s skill combined Bakhwibug and Yeowoon
at the same time to inflict poison damage. Park Hwi Bug hurriedly
tried to use the purification skill, but the dealer who was supposed to
protect him while he healed was hiding behind him and consuming
potions, so he collapsed on the field without even being able to use
the skill.

‘Park Hwibugae passed away. 20 seconds until resurrection….’

‘neutaaaa has passed away. 20 seconds until resurrection….’

[All] Halloween Eggplant: What are you guys doing?


Hahahahahahaha

[Party] Park Hwibugae: ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ


It happened so quickly. While waiting for resurrection, Yeowoon
looked at the screen that had turned black and white and laughed.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ?

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: This is my first time seeing a dealer use a
healer like this.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: Why?

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


Nyuta used that as a shield and drank the potion all by himself;

[Party] neutaaaa: It’s not me. I only ate two.

[Party] Captain Poseidon: ….

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] Park Hwibug: I was a fool who thought I would protect you
and trusted you.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha


[Party] neutaaaa: No, I was so embarrassed….

Being embarrassed is no excuse. Yeo-woon promised that he would


never hide behind the healer from the next game onwards. After
that, I played hard without hiding behind anyone, but the report that
came out after the practice game was miserable. This is because
Yeowoon had the highest number of deaths among both teams.

[Party] Park Hwibug: Hahahahahahaha

Even healer Park Hwibugae laughed at Yeo-woon. Bad cockroach….


Yeowoon was in shock.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: It looks like there is no defense applied to


the equipment.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅇㅇ If you change the equipment, you will die less
often

That said, I thought the number of deaths was too high to be


considered an equipment issue. Last week, I felt like I was a
nuisance for no reason. Yeowoon pondered for a moment and then
asked.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Should I just skip Sunday?ㅜㅜ

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Yes? If they were going to reject me


because I couldn’t do it, I wouldn’t have accepted them as a guild
member in the first place. So please participate without fail.
[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: ㅁㅈㅁㅈ!

[Guild] al0ha: ㅁㅈㅁㅈ

[Guild] neutaaaa: You’re saying you can’t do it…. ㅠㅠ

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ….

[Guild] neutaaaa: I guess that’s rightㅠㅠ

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: I fainted from laughter….

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I’d rather hit her lol.

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Affectionate Violence

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Gilma actually can’t say what she doesn’t
like.

Anyway, I’m so sorry if you lose because of me alone…. Even if I


couldn’t help, I didn’t want to be a nuisance. Everyone was giggling
and laughing like nothing happened, but Yeowoon couldn’t help but
laugh. Then, Earth Star noticed that Yeo-woon was speechless and
called out to her.
[Guild] ㅈi9Star: How long have you been playing Little Foret?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Two years? Did you….

Yeowoon counted the time with his fingers. It seemed like it took
about two years. I don’t remember exactly, but….

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: But why don’t you know the most important thing
when playing games?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ??

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: What is it? skill?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅠㅠ

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Halloween Branch: New, I stayed still and got hit again.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Bad Cat;

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: More important than skill. Even if you have skills, if
you don’t have this, you won’t be able to play the game for long.

[Guild] Cat Cat Me Cat: Personality?

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Hey, that’s just me.


[Guild] Halloween Branch: ? Then everyone but me has to quit the
game.

[Guild] al0ha: Huh, it seems like I’m the only one here with
personality? Haha

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Do you have a conscience? Except me ^^;

All the guild members started bragging about their personalities.


Nyangnyangnanyang, who picked up trash on the side of the road
again today, and Park Hwibuglae, who called her parents to say
hello. It’s just Halloween that says he’s actually kind. However, Yeo-
woon seemed to be the only one here with proper character.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Skill x Personality x

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: It’s someone else’s fault

[Guild] Park Hwibeolae: Ahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: It’s essential….

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: I agree.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Still, I think they lost because of meㅜㅜ

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: You lost because of me (x) You lost because of that
one meal (o)
[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Try it

Try it? What do we do…. I’m not good at things like blaming others.
Yeowoon entered the chat without hesitating even for a moment.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Ah, the little cockroach died because it didn’t


function as a shield properly.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: ?

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Good;

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: Learning ability is impaired

[Guild] Kitty cat cat: ㅅㅂㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: I will add it to the guild notice.

Everyone except Park Hwibug encouraged Yeowoon. I felt much


more at ease when I realized that even if I didn’t feel good, it would
be okay if I blame others. After a while, ‘blame others’ was added to
the guild notice. Feeling much better, Yeowoon regained his calm.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㄱㄷㄱㄷ

‘Ji9 Star has terminated the connection.’


After going out for a while, Earth Star went to the warehouse
character and mailed Yeo-woon some pieces of equipment that were
not banned. Yeowoon left the guild room for a moment, visited the
postman in the guild corridor, and received the armor given by Earth
Star.

Although the contents of the mail were all listed as ‘miscellaneous


items’, they were all items with an S+ rating. It’s too good to be
called a miscellaneous item….

“…ah. I have to return it later.”

It would be difficult if the equipment were randomly mixed up in the


equipment window. Instead of trying to put on the equipment without
thinking, Yeowoon started taking off all the items he had bought at
the fashion shop. As he took off his transparent hat, transparent
gloves, and transparent stockings, and even removed the training
clothes that covered his armor, he could see at a glance what kind
of equipment he was currently wearing.

Yeowoon took a screenshot of his current equipment and took


another screenshot after wearing the equipment lent by Earth Star.
This makes it much easier to compare and return items later.
Anyway, the purpose of today’s practice game was to ‘compare
equipment options’, so this version was much better for comparing
options.

When he entered the guild room again, looking like he was making a
clanking sound every time he walked, the guild members giggled at
the lingering sight.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ?
[Guild] Captain Poseidon: What does that look like?

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Mom;;

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: 1st Army friend


hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Halloween Branch: It’s back like before…ㅠㅠ

[Guild] Park Hwibeolrae: No, put some clothes on hahahahaha


Meanwhile, I won’t take off my cape again.

[Guild] neutaaaa: That’s…my pride

[Guild] Park Hwibug: What are you doing now after customizing it to
look like the person next door?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ;;

Do you know? Ji-gu Yoon wouldn’t even know anyway. Even if you
were suspicious after seeing it, you could just say no.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ㅅㅂ

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: I want to quit the game

[Guild] al0ha: Why are you


kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk?
[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Earth Star, why
hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] neutaaaa: That’s so weird;;

Anyway, these people are tired. It’s easier to compare equipment


when you see armor like this.

However, Yeowoon decided to reflect, to some extent, the wishes of


Earth Star, who lent me the equipment. Armor should be as
unobtrusive as possible…. I picked up a random fashion item from
the equipment window and put it on.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Are you done?

Yeo-woon’s character, wearing a black cape over sloping armor and


a bright red royal ribbon on top of his head, jumped up and down in
place.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Hahahahahaha Qㅠㅠ

[Guild] Kitty cat cat: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: I’ve regained my original intention

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅅㅂlose your original intention;

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahahahaha


[Guild] Park Hwibug: Hahahahahahahahaha

Looking at everyone smiling, it seemed like they could bear it with


their helmets on.

Title: (Pictured) What is this in the 3 houses of Athens Seop?

Written by: Thump Thump/Shadow Warrior

I’m currently in a 3-channel guild corridor.

(Screenshot_912871.jpg)

If you look at his weapons, he looks like a hero, but his skin color,
plastic surgery, hair, and clothes are all expensive. What are you
doing…? I hear you go around the village like this. Isn’t it
embarrassing? If it were me, I’d rather take it all off.

Is it possible that I can’t keep up with the trend after returning after
such a long time? Are see-through looks popular among old people
these days? Are transparent shoes, transparent hats, etc. all items
that are in stock?
Please reply.

⤷It’s hilarious to see a guy with everything covered except his face
and say it’s see-through;

⤷New concept see-through


***

“…Mr. Un. Mr. Yeowoon!”

Yeo-Woon, who was slowly closing his eyes in a strangely hazy


mood, tilted his head towards the direction from which he heard the
sound. Assistant Manager Kim, leaning his arm against the partition,
was looking down at Yeo Woon with a serious expression. When our
eyes met, Assistant Manager Kim frowned.

“Mr. Yeowoon. What’s wrong with your face?”

What is it, Sibin?

“ah….”

“You’re feverish.”

Assistant Manager Kim rolled up Yeo-woon’s bangs and placed his


hand on her forehead. It was so hot that I was dying earlier.
Yeowoon unconsciously leaned his cheek against his cool palm.

“Sir, your hands are cool….”


“What are you doing so disgusting?”

Assistant Manager Kim mercilessly took my hand away. My cool


pack…. Yeowoon looked up at him with a lost expression. Assistant
Manager Kim sighed and said openly.

“Since when has it been like this? “Aren’t you tired of the heat?”

“Oh, I see.”

“Oh, I guess so. He looked listless in the morning, and now even his
face is red. Is this how I can do my job properly?”

“sorry….”

“No, I’m not asking you to apologize. I have a severe fever, so


please leave early and go to the hospital. I heard there’s a flu
epidemic these days.”

Oh right. The assistant manager said he only had two children. He is


a person who takes good care of his health to prevent diseases from
spreading to his children. It seemed like he was paying attention to
me now. It’s unpleasant to see a bunch of germs in the same
office…. Yeowoon covered his mouth and muttered carefully.

“yes…. I will never transfer it to the assistant manager….”

“Mr. Yeowoon is turning me into trash?”


“Well, it’s not long before I get off work, so go early today. I’m taking
care of my condition so I can go to work as normal tomorrow.”

Now even the manager from the side joined in and tried to drive out
the germ-like mass of himself. Yeo-woon awkwardly grabbed his bag
and got up, and was sent out onto the street by his new employee
and Assistant Manager Kim.

“I’m going to die.”

Even though it was evening, the sun was particularly bright. I hate
summer because the days are long. He was particularly sensitive to
heat, so he suffered from serious illness at least once every
summer. To make matters worse, the village bus was scheduled to
arrive 20 minutes later, and there was an old man sitting on the
supermarket bench next to the bus stop, smoking a cigarette, which
made me feel nauseous.

Crazy, long bread! This isn’t even a smoking area. Are you senile?
…This can be happen. Yeo-woon silently wished his grandfather a
long life and began to walk home.

“Hey, are you okay?”

“Oh, it’s okay. thank you.”

After stopping at the pharmacy and buying cold medicine, I could


feel my condition rapidly worsening. Looking at the pharmacist
asking with a worried face, it looked like he was in a lot of pain.
It was so hot that I was sweating just a moment ago, but now this
sweltering heat suddenly feels cold. I caught another summer cold
that even dogs can’t catch. I didn’t know why colds that I couldn’t
catch in the winter kept coming back to me every summer.

I couldn’t tell with what spirit I was crossing the crosswalk. When
Yeowoon came to his senses, he was passing by the swimming pool
and saw a familiar person walking from afar, and his eyes were wide
with joy.

It’s Mr. Earth! Ji-gu Yoon, who was walking while looking at his cell
phone, noticed himself belatedly and raised his head. The moment
his cat-like sharp-pointed eyes saw the afterglow, they rounded
slightly as if surprised.

“Are you going to the pool? “You’re leaving early today.”

“….”

“Mr. Earth?”

When Yeo-woon called his name, Ji-gu Yoon, who had a frozen
expression on his face wondering why I was meeting this person
here, looked surprised and nodded.

“Ah, tongue…. …no!”

“yes?”
tongue…what? I think I was just about to say something, but I forgot
everything because I suddenly screamed in shock.

“…Filial piety, I will become a filial son….”

“…?”

Jigu Yoon pursed his lips. Yeo-woon raised his thumb, thinking he
had to give something in response.

“Ah yes…. cool.”

I don’t know what context the words came from, but it was nice to
see them respecting their parents. Perhaps because it was a hot
day, Jigu Yoon suddenly pursed his lips and let out a small sigh.
Heat spread to the nape of his neck, turning it subtly red.

“Well, see you later!”

Before he could ask if he too had a cold, Ji-gu Yoon gave a hint and
started sprinting towards the swimming pool, shaking his swimming
bag vigorously.

“later…? “I’m not going swimming today.”

It was only later that Yeo-woon realized that she had failed to
properly tell him that she couldn’t go to the swimming pool today
because of her cold. However, because the practice lane was
different, I couldn’t speak to him properly outside of break time, and
I wondered if a man who wouldn’t even look at me in the bathroom
would wait for me.

“I guess it was just a courtesy….”

Arriving in front of the house, Yeo-woon tilted his head when he saw
the person he saw last time, tying the black hood around his waist,
rattling near the mailbox.

He picked up the mailbox in room 902, Yeowoon’s house, and was


closely examining it to see if anything was deep inside. Yeowoon,
who was staring at the situation, walked up to the man and snatched
the mail from his hand. The man was startled and looked up at Yeo-
woon.

“Please contact me.”

The man’s mouth dropped open at the sound Yeowoon made as he


held out his cell phone. He couldn’t say anything and just pursed his
lips with a confused look on his face.

“to?”

“Please give me your contact information.”

“… That’s a little bit.”

The man, who was a little shorter than me, cleared his throat and
bowed his head. And when I saw him open his body to pass by like a
loach like last time, Yeo-woon grabbed his wrist.
“Give me your number.”

“You crazy bastard! I can’t give it to you! I’m not gay…!”

“No matter how much of a person I used to live with, I still feel bad
that he’s going through my mailbox.”

“….”

“What are you looking for? “I’ll contact you when we arrive, so
please give me your number.”

“That’s it.”

The man looked Yeo-woon up and down with an uncomfortable


expression.

So you’re going to keep searching my mailbox from now on?


Yeowoon looked down at the man’s wrist, which was tightly grasped.
Maybe it was because of the heat, but my head wasn’t working
properly. The man is shaking his legs. Why are you so anxious? …
Let’s be still. wait for a sec.

“Are you the person who lives in room 902?”

“yes? yes. of course.”

“Your name is… Was it Choi Cheol-gang?”


“hmm. you’re right. I am Cheolgang Choi….”

“It’s not. It was Min Yong-gi.”

“… Change your name.”

“Have your parents’ last names changed recently?”

Looking at the reaction, it definitely didn’t seem like the person who
lived on the 9th floor before.

…oh! Are you a thief? The criminal methods he saw on television


flashed through Yeo-woon’s mind. These are empty house thieves
who target households that are away from home for long periods of
time. So, because I was too lazy to pick up my mail on time, my
house became a target of crime. Compared to other houses, there
is a huge pile of bills and advertising mail.

“People shouldn’t live like that.”

“What are you talking about? “You crazy guy!”

The Min Yong-gi impersonator shook off Yeo Woon’s arm and
quickly turned around and left the building. I never thought I would
meet a thief. In life, things like this happen all the time. Yeo-woon
got into the elevator, thinking that from now on, he should either get
evidence and report it or empty the mailbox on time.

“I can’t go to the game today.”


“I was sick….」

If Yeo-woon did not respond in time, he notified Earth Star of his


physical condition, who would send chat messages until he did. After
entering the house, he collapsed and began to open the mail one by
one.

Most of the mail that had piled up was useless. Half-asleep, Yeo-
woon opened the last piece of mail and stopped when he saw the
Daehan University mark in the middle of the paper. Then, he saw
the name written in the upper left corner and realized that it wasn’t
his.

“…?”

When I looked closely, I saw that it was Yun Ji-gu’s college report
card for this semester. I didn’t really want to see it, nor did I have
any intention of seeing it, but when I checked the grades, they were
a mess. Maybe I’m not doing my school life properly, but while all the
subject names have a D next to them, I proudly got an F in a 3-
credit class. How in the world do you get grades like this? Yeowoon
looked at the paper with an expression that made no sense and
shook his head.

“… I think he’d be angry if he found out I saw this.”

Yeowoon muttered as he folded the report card again and put it


inside the envelope. At best, I felt like we had become a little closer,
but when I thought about Ji-gu being wary of me again, I just sighed.
Yeowoon picked up his phone and checked the time. Looking at the
time, it wasn’t long before Yoon Ji-gu came out of the swimming
pool.
I should hand it over to him face to face in the evening and lie that I
only opened the envelope by mistake. You must not reveal that you
have seen the contents. Yeo-woon thought about delivering the
report card to Ji-gu Yoon and promised himself that he should never
sleep.

And not even a minute after making a firm resolution, Yeowoon


began to doze off.

“earth: ?”

“Earth: Are you suddenly feeling sick?”

“Earth: Where does it hurt?”

「Earth: Brother」

“Earth: Brother?”

「Earth: Where is it?」

It was a little after 8 p.m. The phone in his hand rang with a faint
sound of a message arriving, but Yeo-woon just twitched the corners
of his eyes every time it happened.

What disturbed my light sleep was a loud ringtone. Ding dong, ding
dong ding dong, ding dong ding dong ding dong. Yeowoon sat up
with a heavy body as the sound was loud enough to disturb his
sleep. My head was pounding and my whole body felt like a ball of
fire. It was only then that Yeowoon realized that he had forgotten to
take the medicine he had bought and stepped under the bed.

Ding dong ding dong!

“Ah, Mr. who is this….”

Every time I took a step, my head buzzed. Yeowoon walked to the


front door, leaning against the wall, and opened the door.

“…?”

As soon as he opened the door, what hit him was the faint smell of
sweat and a wide embrace. …Poom? Only then did Yeo-woon
realize that Yun Ji-gu had held her as her legs lost strength. His hair
smelled of soap, mixed with a faint scent of sweat. Jigu Yoon
muttered in an embarrassed tone.

“Why, why are you like this?”

A large hand grazed Yeowoon’s cheek and poked it. Even my hands
smelled like soap.

“cold….”

“A cold? “What about medicine?”

He gasps, breathing hard. Did you run as soon as you finished


swimming? …But why did Ji-gu Yoon come to my house? Yeowoon
mumbled to himself absentmindedly, then remembered that his
report card was now in his possession.

It’s a ghost. How did know….

Yeo-woon turned around, intending to bring Yun Ji-gu’s report card


that he had left in his room, but a sudden feeling of dizziness
overtook him and he stumbled against the wall.

“brother!”

brother? As I was losing consciousness, I felt a strong arm


supporting me.

“… I heard you can’t even catch a summer cold.”

A voice mixed with ridicule faintly reached my ears and quietly


dispersed. My vision went black and my memories were cut off.

***

When Yeowoon woke up, it was still dark outside the window. The
only thing that made me wonder was that the place I was lying now
was not on my bed at home.
“…Ah, the head. I can’t go to work tomorrow.”

Yeowoon stood up, rubbing his temples. My memories were blurry,


as if there was a fog in my head. The only thing I remember is that I
woke up briefly and someone was putting medicine in my mouth and
holding a cup in my hand. It felt like something was being said to
me, but I wasn’t sure because it was just buzzing in my ears like
meaningless sounds.

“Are you awake?”

“…?”

A familiar voice. Yeowoon looked to the side and tilted his head. Ji-
gu Yoon sat down in front of Yeo-woon with a sad look on his face
and spoke bluntly.

“It’s our house.”

“ah….”

“It’s true that I brought him here, don’t be mistaken. Do you


understand?”

“…?”

“I’m not really the type of person who meddles in other people’s
business, right? But that doesn’t mean…, No, I’m not giving them
special treatment. just… I have too much fever.”
I didn’t ask….

“I’m really scared that I’ll die if I leave it there. My fingerprints won’t
be left on the doorbell next door. Then that death room…Sin of
neglect? That’s it. Still, I don’t think it’s worth going to the emergency
room. I was just trying to watch him until he woke up briefly. … Is it
real?”

I didn’t even suspect it….

“So why are you doing that and turning the air conditioner on so
hard? So you don’t catch a cold. And in a summer like this!”

Was he always this talkative?

Yeo-woon blinked blankly as he let go of Yoon Ji-gu’s voice, which


was giving excuse after excuse after gun. He opened his mouth
quietly only after Yoon Ji-gu had finished speaking gibberish.

“Mr. Earth….”

“He’s a really funny person…. Why turn on the air conditioner when
the heat is so high? .”

“thank you.”

“….”
Yun Ji-gu, who had been complaining, opened his eyes round at
Yeo-woon’s words, but soon averted his gaze and closed his mouth
tightly. The corner of his tightly closed mouth twitched. It seemed
like he was holding back laughter, and at times he looked even
angrier. Like a person who can’t bear to say thank you.

Talk. Without any warning, the back of my hand gently touched my


cheek. It felt good on my moderately cool skin. As Yeowoon lifted
the corners of his mouth and smiled faintly, Jigu Yoon tilted his head.
It’s a face that makes you wonder why you’re smiling. However,
Yeowoon didn’t make any excuses and just closed his sleepy eyes.
The faint scent coming from his hands seemed to refresh my head.

“Maybe it’s because I took the medicine, but the fever has gone
down a lot.”

“Is it Mr. Ji-gu who gave you the medicine earlier?”

“… Then who gives it to me other than me?”

“It wasn’t a dream after all.”

“…dream?”

If I had collapsed until morning in the same condition as before, my


condition could have really worsened. It only happened once or
twice, so I didn’t feel a big sense of crisis. Anyway, I was really
fortunate that Ji-gu Yoon came to my house at the right time. Yeo-
woon muttered absently, and when he saw Yun Ji-gu staring at him,
he reminded him of the purpose of coming to my house.
“right. that…Speaking of report cards….”

“…yes?”

“Daehan University transcript.”

“uh?”

“Mr. Earth, isn’t that why you came to my house?”

“….”

When Yeo-woon asked, blinking his eyes red, Ji-gu Yoon pursed his
lips and was about to say something. Confusion spread across his
eyes. The reaction is very strange…. Yeowoon looked at him and
tilted his head.

“no? Then, Mr. Ji-gu, why is my house suddenly….”

“…It looks like it hurts….”

“How does Mr. Earth know that I’m sick? “Even when I saw him
briefly on the street, I didn’t know anything about him.”

“….”

“ah. Is it because I don’t go to the swimming pool?”


“Uh….”

“uh? But it’s not just today that I didn’t go….”

“….”

“weird…?”

Then why did you come to my house? My head didn’t work properly.
As Yeowoon tilted his head with narrowed eyes, Jigu Yoon quickly
stood up with his fists clenched.

“I remembered! Yes, that’s right. that!”

“that’s right?”

“Of course! If it’s not for my report card, why would I go to your
house? I have no interest in that! I happened to go there for that
reason and saw that it was painful. That’s why.”

“Yes?”

Ji-gu Yoon nodded eagerly, and Yeo-woon smiled faintly, looking at


him, who was even desperate.

“I didn’t bring it here on purpose. Someone was trying to rob my


house, so I stopped and stopped them.”
“…yes?”

“that is…Some crazy guy was going through my mailbox. I saw it on


TV and they said that was the method used by empty house
burglars. I heard they were trying to make sure no one was home,
so please be careful, Mr. Ji-gu.”

“…?”

“You can fool others, but you can’t fool your own eyes.” I knew it as
soon as I saw it. You thief.”

“…Ah yes….”

Only then did Ji-gu Yoon’s expression soften slightly, as if he were


astonished. He sat down on the sofa again and sighed.

“I brought up everything that was in that person’s hand, but in the


meantime, I was out of my mind again…. I slightly tore open the
Earth seed envelope. sorry.”

Yeo-woon looked around and realized that the envelope for the letter
he was supposed to give to Ji-gu Yoon was nowhere to be found, so
he turned his head and looked at Ji-gu Yoon again.

“I left it next to the bed in my room….”

“…saw?”
“yes?”

“… Did you see the content?”

“….”

Eh? Grades? Of course I didn’t see it. I just opened the envelope.
vow! …I tried to say that, but when our eyes met, the lie didn’t come
out. Yun Ji-gu’s face turns bright red as he watches my reaction.
Just thinking about it from my point of view, I might bite my tongue
and die if someone else found out about my grades like that. I
completely understood Yun Ji-gu’s position. He seemed very
embarrassed, so Yeo-woon decided to talk out of consideration.

“Then Mr. Earth, I’ll just go home… .”

“Well, that’s not my grade in the first place!”

“…yes?”

“…I passed all the tests. But because of the attendance score, I had
no choice…. It’s real. When I was a freshman, I even got an A.”

“….”

“It’s true. Physical fitness and physical health are essential


knowledge…. why. Would you like me to show you?”

“no…?”
I tried to pretend not to know, but he himself came forward and
started talking. then…He was saying that it was true that he was
responsible for the poor grades. Anyway, how could it be….

“school… I guess you’re having a hard time going out?”

Yeo-woon couldn’t say, “Your grades are shit,” so he said the most
pure thing he could say.

“…is it so. Why are grades so important? Just enjoy your college
life. My friend also got into trouble for drinking and hanging out on
random days. I had a hard time retaking all of them in the last
semester.”

“….”

“But you still go to school, right?”

“… I go there when I’m taking an exam.”

They said they had crammed the timetable so that it only lasted one
day a week, but even that wasn’t working out well. Yun Ji-gu glanced
at Yeo-woon, who was speechless, and then made an excuse,
saying, “No one knows me, whether I go or not.”

“however… Do you remember the face of the person who robbed


that mailbox?”

“I remember, but….”
Maybe it was because my impression of the person was blurry, but it
was already blurry. If I run into you again, I’ll have to find out…. I
didn’t know why I had to remember the face of someone who wasn’t
particularly pretty or handsome.

“How old did you look like?”

“well. Mid to late twenties?”

“….”

Ji-gu Yoon slowly closed his eyes with a serious face. He taps my
knee with his finger. Yeo-woon was deeply moved as she gazed at
the sight of her lowered eyelashes. I guess Mr. Ji-gu is doing that to
catch that empty house thief…. He’s kind too.

“But I’m not from there.”

“…yes?”

“When you came to my house earlier, you called me brother.”

At those words, Yoon Ji-gu swallowed his saliva without even being
able to hide his embarrassment.

“… Me?”

“Then why do you pretend not to know….”


“….”

“If you don’t like my brother, you can call me ‘Mr. Yeowoon’.”

Yun Ji-gu thought for a while and answered in a quiet voice.

“…Well, then just be my older brother.”

He played with his red-hot earlobe with his fingers and lowered his
gaze diagonally. I don’t know if it was because we were sitting so
close together, but I could hear the heartbeat very clearly. What is
so difficult? I’m really bad at dealing with people. I felt like laughing
as I watched the man awkwardly wiggling his fingers without saying
a word in a quiet space where I could only hear the sound of the air
conditioner running.

“Then bro… You can leave it alone.”

“…?”

“He’s four years older than me… I feel a little uncomfortable too.”

“Really? “Leave me alone.”

When Yeo-woon smiled and spoke as if he had been waiting, Ji-gu


Yoon, who suggested that he speak first, raised his eyebrows as if
he was seeing something strange.

“…why not…. I told him to let go, but all at once….”


“why. Should I not say anything?”

“….”

“yo. this?”

“…Do whatever you want. It’s really annoying.”

I couldn’t tell if I had a bad personality or not. However, Ji-gu Yoon


suddenly mumbles that he is annoyed, but his lips are tightly closed
and trembling slightly.

“Oh, stop staring! Is it really something that will get noticed like this?
Embarrassing people….”

“….”

I was puzzled by the way he seemed so focused and nervous. Even


his legs were shaking.

‘Why are you doing that?’

I wondered if it was something to get so irritated about. Yeo-woon


became a little embarrassed, as if the awkwardness was conveying
to him when he was next to me.

“Then I’ll just go home….”


“Just sleep here.”

“….”

Yun Ji-gu pressed Yeo-woon’s shoulder, who was struggling to get


up, and forced him to lie down on the sofa again. He picked up the
blanket that had fallen down to his knees and placed it in Yeowoon’s
hands.

“The fever hasn’t gone down yet, so let’s sleep and go tomorrow
morning. Do you need to get rid of the body because its condition
has suddenly worsened?”

“Hey, I’m fine….”

“It’s not okay.”

“….”

“Sleep first. I… I’ll go in after watching you sleep.”

He held a white laptop and sat in a position where he could clearly


see where Yeowoon was lying.

“What are you going to do there?”

“…game?”
“… That in front of me?”

“That’s because I haven’t finished anything yet.”

“Yes….”

It’s next door anyway. I couldn’t figure out why I was being told to
sleep until morning, as my nose would touch my body if I fell
anyway. It’s not a serious illness, it’s just a cold that I get out of habit
once or twice a year.

“Don’t worry, close your eyes.”

But even though I knew it was a nuisance, I couldn’t ignore the


sincerity of someone who told me so firmly and told me to go to
sleep.

“I’m saying it’s okay? “I usually sleep late.”

…It was also fascinating. It’s been so long since I had someone by
my side on a day like this….

“No, I told you not to keep looking….”

“….”

Yeowoon chuckled, covering himself with the blanket up to the tip of


his nose.
He says he keeps looking at me.

It was funny, but I was grateful for the man who kept glancing at me
as if checking my condition while saying he was going to play a
game. Maybe that’s why I couldn’t fall asleep very easily that night.

***

Yeo-woon continued to worry for a few more days. The assistant


manager saw Yeo-woon like that and made fun of him, calling him a
sickly man, and on Friday, Yeo-woon could not stand Assistant
Manager Kim’s teasing and added 30,000 won to his savings
account for contract killings.

On Saturday morning, as soon as I woke up, I went to the hospital


and received intravenous fluids. After that, my physical condition
improved significantly. It should have been right a long time ago.
Yeowoon fumed all day out of frustration.

The problem was that I dozed off for a bit on Sunday and when I
woke up, it was well past the scheduled time for the siege event.

“…uh?”

When Yeowoon opened his eyes, the sun had already set and
everything outside the window was dyed black. As soon as Yeowoon
woke up, his hands were shaking, he picked up his cell phone and
entered the guild chat room. A couple of hours ago, there were a
few messages from guild members asking ‘Nyuta, why aren’t you
coming?’, and then there was nothing. I’m sure they didn’t create
another chat room except for the days when I couldn’t attend
without telling them.

neutaaaa

sorry…ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I was sleeping and just woke up.

;;;Take notice, cat


Cat cat cat cat

yes!

In the photo sent by Cat Cat Meow Cat, you could see a report
showing that Poseidon won by an overwhelming score. Today’s
opponent was Surgery, and even though it was the 1st place guild,
the score gap was quite large. Yeo-woon was confused as he
recalled the messy situation from last week. Even though there is a
practice game mode, how can it be this overwhelming? It just
seemed amazing to me.

“I’ll have to get the video from Earth Star later and watch it.”

And next week, I will definitely be helpful to the guild. Yeowoon made
a firm determination.

The contributions of all guild members were similar, but what stood
out was the number of kills on the opposing team by Earth Star and
Cat Meow Meow Meow.

“… Why are the number of kills so low?”

Compared to other guild members who put all their effort into
destroying Surgery’s castle, the two seemed to have focused on
killing Surgery’s guild members rather than attacking the castle. Just
looking at the numbers in the report, it was clear that the two people
had chopped people to death more than a hundred times. If
Poseidon had lost, I would have felt even more guilty, but I was
really glad that I won.
Poseidon Captain

But Newta, are you feeling okay?

neutaaaa

Other than leaving the game on for a brief check-in in the morning, I
never told anyone that I wasn’t feeling well. For a moment, Yeowoon
doubted whether Captain Poseidon had supernatural powers.

「Halloween Eggplant: Earth Star told me haha」

“ah….”

That reason is understandable. I left a whole blue message for him,


saying I would take a nap just in case. The guy who was bothering
me by posting messages asking why he was sleeping in broad
daylight got quiet when I told him to shut up because I still had a
headache because of the cold. Still, fortunately because Earth Star
had told him, it seemed like the guild members had started playing
the game without waiting for him. I was a little thankful for that.

neutaaaa

But what about Earth Star?


Just a few hours ago, the guy who had been grabbing me and telling
me to go to sleep with strange emoticons was nowhere to be seen. I
wondered if they were still playing the game even after the siege
ended, but

halloween eggplant

I’m floating in my sleep

“…ah.”

Yeowoon was convinced by what Halloween Eggplant said. Earth


Star does not just read and ignore articles containing her name.
Perhaps because he was not good at fighting in his past life, he
developed resentment. He has to fight and win the fight to relieve his
anger.

And it seemed like Halloween Branch had found all of those posts
and reported them to him. Unless I was just looking at the bulletin
board all day, I couldn’t figure out how it was possible to find posts
so quickly. The meeting of the Deputy Guild Master, who had
nothing to do, and the Earth Star, who also had nothing to do,
became a combination that had no answer.

halloween eggplant

But right now, Earth Star is not fighting alone haha. I was even more
excited to have a new ranker guild, Gilma, join me haha.

halloween eggplant
Isn’t this just the first time you two met? Getting hit is so funny ㅠ I
thought we were best friends

ㄹㅇ Since you take my side, Earth Star is going crazy.

Pea peas

But you guys really have less energy…How are you living your
current life? I got excited just by looking at the title of the post lol.
Everyone is so strong.

Mr. Wandu, I will definitely resign. Stop being overly immersed in this
life where there is only Manager Park and stop playing games.

Pea peas

Take a breath.

Wow, Earth Star, you are so fast at typing hahaha. In the article
about surgery bugilma, I am currently running in real time, but I am
crushing it with speed and quantity rather than logic hahaha.

Fuck trauma

ㅠㅠ

Crazy Earth. I shuddered when I remembered Yeo-woon, who had


been treated by him once. This guy was truly a bon two-be keyboard
warrior. Just thinking about it at the time made me want to punch
the guy on the top of his head with my fist.

Since I have to go to work tomorrow, I’ll have to play for a bit and

I can only sigh. How did only these people end up in my guild? .

After that, there was a lot of meaningless chatter. Yeowoon read the
chat again and tilted his head.

“What happened in the siege today?”

What on earth did Surgery Guild Bugilma write that the Earth Star is
running there in real time…? Yeowoon turned on the internet with a
puzzled look on his face.

Title: Hello. I am the guild master of <Surgery>, currently ranked #1


on the Athens server.

Written by: Hanje/King Saber

hello. This is Hanje, the top guild ranking in the previous season, the
ranker of the highest-ranking guild, and the surgery guild master. ^^

‘Hanje’ is my real name. I am a 33-year-old man who lives in


Gyeonggi-do and runs a small business. I have many guild members
and acquaintances who actually know my face and address.
Therefore, while watching the Isis game today, please be prepared
for those who spread baseless jokes (ex. Doesn’t Hanje have
parents?) and rumors (ex. Hanje is a pig in glasses, and Hanje and I
were high school classmates, but they were evil).

(tmi. My visual acuity is 2.0 in both eyes, and I’m on the thin side.
So I’m not a porker.;; Also, I didn’t go to high school after graduating
from middle school and took the qualification exam, so I couldn’t
have been an Iljin, right? ? Evidence has already been secured for
all posts on the bulletin board, and we will take strong action without
agreement.)

The introduction was long. ^^


It’s no different. Today’s conquest game was really fun regardless of
the result. I would also like to thank the Poseidon Guild for the
exciting results of the match. ^^

(Game_Report.jpg)

Unlike last week’s match, Poseidon’s match was very clean.

(Although our surgery guild ended the season’s siege in 3rd place,
our guild’s goal is only to be ranked 1st, so we do not attach much
importance to the siege.^^;;;)

However, there are a few things I would like to advise Poseidon


ahead of next week’s game.

1. There seemed to be a couple of people who had forgotten the


<Goals of the Occupation War>. ^^

(asdf.gif)

Conquest War is content created with the goal of <destroy the


opposing guild’s castle>.

It is not the game company’s intention to intentionally tie up other


users and kill them randomly.

(Well, that’s not something the losing side would say. Haha)

2. Poseidon’s King Saber casts his barrier skill too late.


If you use it 0.5 to 1 second faster, you can minimize damage to
guild members. We recommend adding an attack speed option to
your equipment.

3. Hmm?

(ㅁㄴㅇㄹ.gif)

I don’t think it’s abusing, but this user’s play style is unique and
interesting. It’s really cool~

If you look at the last post written by Poseidon’s ‘ㅈi9Star’, you can
see that all equipment has a movement speed option.

ㅈi9byul’s post: www.illusion2.net/…

Defense and damage reduction are not related at all.

---

We at Surgery proudly accept today’s defeat, and sincerely support


the Poseidon Guild’s victory!

only achievement in life, the #1 guild title, will be taken away by
someone else haha

⤷ㅈi9star: Hahahahahahahahahaha

⤷What is this again?

⤷ㄴMelody Gilmaㅋㅋㅋ

⤷Hanje: If you are not a party, please leave out.


⤷Sunset guy, last week too, Hanje wrote a long excuse after losing
to Seonyul, ㅇㅅㅇㅗㅋㅋ <<I just wrote this and threw up lol.

⤷ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

⤷Sunset? I was quietly diving in the guild zone earlier, but why did
you suddenly kill me?

⤷Sunset: I don’t remember ㅇㅅㅇ

-It seems like something is happening in the direction of two people


from each planet…. Do you really get beaten up by these guys once
a month?

-ㅈi9Byul: Oh, someone else wrote a fan letter

⤷Personal appearanceㄷㄷ

Cheer up ⤷

⤷Please explain about the equipment.

⤷ Are you really abusing me? Looks like I missed it this time

-ㅈi9Star: (Photo)

⤷ㅈi9Byul: I wore this today! If it were you, would you replace your
old equipment just because you got a new one? I have all the fully
customized equipment in different colors>_<ㅋ It seems like you
have a serious intelligence problem to have to tell me every single
thing like this ㅜㅜ

⤷I think Hanje is at a loss for words.

⤷Can all options be level 10 or higher? Isn’t it synthetic? Haha

⤷ㄴㅈi9star: Praise ㄱㅅ!><

-Let’s live roughly! There are people who complain that they lost
because they didn’t have the right equipment and controls, but they
are hacks, and they live just fine! Alright!

⤷ㅈi9 Byul: As soon as I finish it>_<

⤷Sunset: As soon as I finish it ㅇㅅㅇㅋㅋ

⤷ㅈㄴThey’re among themselves hahaha An alliance between the


old nuclear group and the current nuclear group?

⤷ㅈi9Star: ↑I’m jealous again and again

⤷Sunset: You are the Isis fighting arena, just wait ㄴㅇㅅㅇㄱ haha.

-What is it, the game has turned upside down? I should have come
early ㅜㅜ
⤷There was no way the game could be overturned in the first place.
Who knows that Hanje was a double figure ^^

⤷But surgery is always number one haha thermal explosion

⤷Yes, who knows that it has been on a decline due to surgery^^

⤷Hanje: I wonder how good of a guild the person who says ㄴ went
to!!

-ㅈi9Byul: If you love me, just confess it and don’t get caught
secretly writing a fan letter when I wasn’t there!!

⤷If I confess, will they accept it? Haha

⤷ㅈi9star: ㄴ

⤷Why can’t I do this? Is there someone you like?

⤷ㅈi9 Byul: Are you crazy?

-Next week is the finals, and looking at the current scores, the two
Poseidon melodies will come out haha. When things like this
happen, Surgery has always been first, but it’s surprising that the
two Shinheung guilds have surpassed them and made it to the
finals.

⤷Sunset: ㅇㅅㅇㅋㅋ
⤷ㅈi9Star: I think we will win>_<?ㅋㅋ

⤷Sunset: ?Where are you, Earth Star?

⤷ㅈi9Byul: It’s a house?

-Please, please take the keyboard away from Hanje.

-The funny thing is, the surgery members don’t come to sleep….
Actually, they are also ashamed of Hanje.

-Go to Sasage, fuck haha. Please don’t ruin the atmosphere of the
server, and whether it’s nuclear or not, just whisper among
yourselves; Guys, just report it.

***

The eagerly awaited next Sunday. The map was very dazzling
because of the people gathered in front of the event NPC. They
were all people who had come to watch the Isis occupation war.
Each one had an afterimage effect and a flashing name tag effect.
Even a legion of wizards wearing black cloaks identical to Yeo-woon
jumped up and gave a buff effect only to Yeo-woon.
[All] Giant Dwarf: Look at his clothes, he really looks like he wants to
get beat up in the guild zone

[All] Hamsters: They must have gone crazy as a group

It didn’t matter what others said. Because they are blind. Yeowoon
used the emoticon of clenching his fist and raising it above his head
towards another user wearing a black cloak. In fact, this emoticon
was quickly purchased and acquired as soon as I first started
playing Illusion. This is because it was similar to the emotional
expression motion used to express gratitude and respect to the
opponent in the Little Forest game.

[All] Your ransom is 39,800 won: Take out the last price.

The Black Cloak Corps also followed the lingering mood and raised
their fists high above their heads. Yeowoon was a little moved by the
nostalgia of Mangem, which he was happy to see after a long time.

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: What is it, Newta has a lot of friends?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I wouldn’t date a friend like that.

[Guild] Park Hwibeolae: Everyone must have paid for that cloak
haha.

“Tsk tsk.”

I hoped that one day, the guild members would also recognize the
true value of the cloak. It was then. A white-haired moon fairy flew
up from among the people and used the emoticon of a thumb
pointing down toward the ground from above Yeowoon’s head.

“…?”

[All] Queen of Spades: Ah, hello!

[All] Queen of Spades: Our guild is all together haha;;

The guild name [Sunyul] was floating above the head of the user
called Spade Queen. This was the name of the guild that Poseidon
would be dealing with today. The same guild name was floating
above the head of a guy using emoticons hovering above the
lingering and black cloak army. …Sunset?

[All] Captain Poseidon: We are all gathered. Please enjoy the game
today^^

While it was crowded with people, Captain Poseidon stepped


forward. Then a user named Sunset jumped to the floor and used an
emoticon. ‘me too!’ The character’s lively voice came out. The chat
window became quiet for a moment, perhaps because of the guild
master who responded informally to polite language.

[All] Queen of Spades: Sorry about that

[All] Queen of Spades: Our Gilma can’t speak today…ㅠㅠ

[All] Captain Poseidon: Ah yes…I know.


…Because we have one too. Without saying a word, Yeowoon
followed the Earth star flying back and forth like a fly with his eyes. I
felt like I was exercising my eyes by just looking at it and it was
great.

[All] Queen of Spades: I lost my money due to the accumulation of


reports haha;;

Sunset, the person who was banned from chatting, cried.

[All] Queen of Spades: You must be very sadㅜㅜ

Sunset nodded. Immediately afterward, he spread his hands to both


sides, lowered his posture, and used the emoticon of bowing his
head.

[All] Queen of Spades: Please take care of me! What is it?

Sunset nodded twice.

[All] Queen of Spades: My interpretation is very accurate haha

Sunset nodded once. Surprisingly, the conversation was becoming


easier.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Something like that;

But honestly, it was funny. Yeowoon laughed, shaking even his


shoulders. When fighting the Romanus Guild in the first week, I went
straight into the main game without saying hello…. The eyes of
Yeowoon, who had been a solo player for many years, sparkled.
Interesting! I wondered if this was the taste of guild content.

Likewise, Earth Star, who was banned from chatting, used a


laughing emoticon while holding her stomach. Sunset must have
been happy to see him like that, so she pointed to the Earth Star
and then to herself.

[All] Queen of Spades: Hey, you two? It’s like that

Sunset nodded immediately. It meant that the interpretation was


correct.

Suddenly, the Earth Star hit the ground and began to cry. Then
Sunset followed him and fell down and started crying. I’m so sad
that I can’t chat. The Queen of Spades was continuing with
unnecessary interpretations.

[All] Halloween Eggplant: What is this conversation between the


Little Mermaids? Haha

[All] Seolyoung: The Little Mermaid ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s so funnyㅠㅠ


ㅠㅠㅠ

The two people who lost their voices were able to communicate
using only emoticons without any chatting. Yeo-woon closed his eyes
tightly because he felt like his hands would lose strength if he
continued to laugh if he looked at it any longer. I felt like I was
choking to death from laughing.
[Guild] Park Hwibug: What is he? interpreter?

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: What should I do hahahahaha I think I’m


going to faint from laughter

[Guild] al0ha: You can still talk even if you eat gold…

Is there an emoticon that these two people don’t have? I thought


only Earth stars collected emoticons, but even a person named
Sunset was no slouch.

Taking advantage of Earth Star and Sunset’s emoticon relay,


Captain Poseidon began to apply for participation in the siege war.
One by one, spectators entered the observation channel, the screen
blinked, and a loading window showing map information appeared.

***

I don’t know how hard I practiced in all my free time. Even when I
couldn’t log in because of a cold, I was so enthusiastic that I even
took notes while watching the videos provided by Earth Star and
reviews from other guilds. Yeo-woon started by reading the
‘Mechanism of the Conquest War System’ posted by people on the
strategy bulletin board, and studied it to the point where he could
ask which unit to select to be most efficient in terms of time.
‘Hero is a close-range ADC, and if he makes good use of the
combo, which is a prominent job characteristic, he can kill wizard-
type jobs with low stamina….’

When that sentence suddenly popped into her head, Yeowoon’s


heart started pounding with excitement. In other words, if I did well, I
could also play an important role. Hero was the opposite of Night
Spear, who dealt damage by quickly using low-damage skills multiple
times. In other words, if one heavy attack goes well, the afterglow
can make a higher contribution than the Earth Star.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Ah, still waiting.

[Guild] al0ha: Who is this?

Some of the members of the Melody guild were still loading, so there
was some time left before the game started. The game begins only
when all participants log in. Yeowoon swallowed dry saliva and
relaxed his tense hands.

My hands were already itching to show off the skills I had built up in
just one week. Isis is the largest city, and since it is a finals match
against that city, a notification pops up saying that the viewing
channel is full even before the game starts. It would be really cool if
he worked here. Yeowoon was filled with vain hope and practiced
combos in the air.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Nyutanim

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Looks like Earth Star has something to


say…. ^^; (damn)
[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Wow, so noisy.

The Earth Star was clapping in front of my eyes and used emoticons
one after another. Yeo-woon realized that fact too late when he saw
the chat.

“what.”

[Guild] neutaaaa: ??

Earth Star, who had been banned from chatting, jumped up in joy as
soon as Yeo-woon wrote two question marks, as if she thought she
was finally listening to what she had to say.

Earth Star used a total of three emoticons in a row. First he pointed


his finger at his face. The second thing used was an emoticon that
pointed at Yeo Woon’s character and winked. And the last one was
the ‘fighting’ emoticon that Yeowoon used for the cape army.

Earth Star raised her clenched fist above her head and made a
triumphant expression. The repeated use of those three emoticons
seemed to indicate that he wanted me to understand what he was
saying. Yeowoon looked blankly at the screen and interpreted his
words in her own way.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I fist you

[Guild] neutaaaa: You want to fight with me?

[Guild] Halloween branch: ㄷㄷ…


The Earth Star hastily shook its head and stamped its feet in place. I
thought this kid was going to start a fight all of a sudden, but
fortunately that didn’t seem to be the case. Yeo-woon tried to think
about it after that, but the ability to understand people using only
emoticons is not given to everyone in the first place.

[Guild] neutaaaa: That’s it;; Say it with words

Or just talk about it in a group chat…. Earth Star got angry at


Yeowoon’s harsh words. He used the emoticon of crossing his hands
in front of his chest and tearing his hair out. Why is it like that all of a
sudden? Yeowoon looked at the monitor with cold eyes.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Headache?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: I think he’s frustrated because he can’t


say anything lol.

Earth Star nodded as if that was the correct answer. He threw a


100-point sign above his head. Colorful fireworks came down on the
head of the Halloween branch. Earth Star held up a dot-sized sign
towards Yeo-woon. That’s really…. It wasn’t a big deal that I couldn’t
understand what was being said, but for no reason I felt strange.

Earth Star also alternated between the three emoticons she had
used for the first time. ‘Me, you + wink, fist.’ Just looking at cancer, I
could only think of an interpretation like, “I will hit you with a wink.”

[Guild] Cat Cat Cat Cat: Oh, I got it.


[Guild] Kitty Cat Cat: Are you saying that Earth Star will protect
Nyuta? Isn’t that what it is?

It was correct. Earth Star gave 100 points to Cat Meow Meow Meow
this time. Cat Meow Meow was proud and said, ‘Haha’, and Earth
Star gave Meow Meow a 100-point emoticon five times. Then he
turned around and looked at Yeo-woon, twirling his fingers next to
his head. This was recognizable.

“You’re saying I’m an idiot. This child who can’t even speak….”

Yeowoon was filled with subtle anger and raised his fist above his
head. To the Cloak Corps, it was a sign of respect, but to Earth Star,
respect meant nothing more than just fighting. The Earth Star tilted
its head and raised a question mark above its head.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Don’t talk to me^^ㅗ

Earth Star didn’t even listen to Yeo-woon’s words. He followed Yeo-


woon around and asked a bunch of question marks. Yeowoon was
trapped in question mark hell.

[Guild] neutaaaa: If you keep talking, I will report you.

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahaha, but Earth Star hasn’t spoken to you yet?

[Guild] Kitty cat cat: ㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] neutaaaa: That’s right.


[Guild] neutaaaa: words that hit me hard

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅡㅡ

[Guild] al0ha: ㅈㅅ

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Why did you become like that, Newta?

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Turns black.

Yeowoon was annoyed and kicked in the air, but he didn’t hit
anyone. The guild members just kept laughing and saying
‘kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk)’
“‘] ”‘ above their heads at Yeowoon’s shenanigans. Meanwhile, the
planet Earth kept acting like a nuisance. If only all emoticons were
taken away…. And I wish you would stop talking to me. This is why
people who can’t understand what’s being said are tired.

“If you keep doing this, I should have warned you that I would report
you… .”

Yeowoon was a man among men who always kept his promises.
Moreover, unlike when I knew nothing, I have now learned how to
report in-game non-selling activities. He quietly found the report and
bug report functions, right-clicked on the planet Earth, and entered a
report through ‘message bombardment’ without anyone knowing. I
don’t know if emoticon spamming will be processed, but….

Well, if it doesn’t work out….


[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: New, you still understand me
swearing at you hahahaha

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: ㄹㅇI couldn’t understand anything else


ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: #Hate #Chaegeumnam

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅡㅡ;;;

You sound like a chaegeumnam. Yeowoon burst into laughter.


Meanwhile, Earth Star was diligently creating emoticons. Yeo-woon
listened to the cheerful character’s voice in one ear and out the
other, and confirmed that Seon-yul’s last guild member had finally
succeeded in logging in.

[All] Queen of Spades: Oh shit. The connection suddenly became


unstable, so I reconnected haha.

Anyway, it’s taking this long to load…. It’s impossible to explain


unless you’re playing a game over Wi-Fi in a mountain valley
somewhere.

‘Guild PVP Conquest War VER. (Isis War) has begun. Please build
the fortress within the time limit!’

Once all guild members accessed the channel and loading was
completed, each faction’s area appeared at the end and end of the
map with Isis Village in the background. Build castles and auxiliary
buildings, and after a set period of time, a real siege begins where
you can attack each other.

Bricks the size of the character’s palm began to float all over the
map. The guild members went to their respective locations and
started destroying the bricks as they had practiced. In the
meantime, Yeo-woon felt puzzled when he saw Earth Star just
standing still instead of going to his assigned position. At that time,
the Whole Blue app I had installed on my computer made a beeping
sound.

「Earth: No, what I’m saying is, brother, don’t just get ahead and die
like last time!! When King Saber hits the barrier, he was told to just
stick to it and follow along to maintain his stamina!!! But did you
understand anything I said??? “Are you sure you understand?”

“… Is that what you said?”

I thought they were just random emoticons putting on a show, but


they were all meaningful motions. Not only did I not understand, but
now I realized that his words had meaning. However, not only I but
other guild members seemed to not understand anything. This
happened because Earth Star used emoticons too much. So this
doesn’t mean it’s my fault. It’s all because of Earth.

「Earth: I will roughly deal with the kids who cling to you, so as long
as they don’t jump out in front of the barrier!>_<」

「Earth: No, but I can’t really chat, so I’m so frustrated that I can’t
live. I wish I could eat the portrait of the bastard who reported me.」
“Isn’t it too harsh to say it’s a portrait?”

Yeo-woon, who had just reported the Earth Star, was furious.

“earth: ?”

Earth Star, who knew nothing, jumped onto Yeowoon’s head, leaving
behind only a question mark. He stepped on the obstacle platform
installed by Captain Poseidon, who runs the overall operation, and
began to destroy the bricks above. Yeo-woon looked blankly at the
planet Earth, which was almost wiping out its entire area without
leaving even a single brick behind. Earth Star was a bit annoying
and talked too much, but the play sense was good enough to make
up for all its shortcomings. That one thing is worth acknowledging.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow: Wheels

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: ㅗ

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Park Hwi…

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: ㅇㅇ

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Can you stay behind me and apply that buff
as soon as the gate opens?

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: ㅇㅋㅇㅋ


[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: I have to clear the road first, so I won’t worry
about you and will go to the front line, so please take care of
yourself.

[Guild] Park Hwibeolae: Hahahahahahahaha they are really treated


as healers…

[Guild] Park Hwibug: But you won’t hide behind me like someone
else does.

[Guild] Kitty cat cat: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] neutaaaa: Ouch ㅠ

Yeo-woon, who had been standing still, was hit with words without
knowing what was going on.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Last time, I was unknowingly hiding behind a bug and dying while
trying to recover its stamina, and I’m still worried about that. Bad
cockroach…. I will never make the same mistake again. Yeowoon
made a firm determination.

‘It’s 1 minute before the battle starts. Everyone, get ready for battle!’
A solemn song played. It was a time when it was no longer possible
to build auxiliary buildings or create combat unit robots.

‘Combatants must destroy the enemy’s fortress and occupy the


territory. Find the command post inside the fortress and destroy the
power source to ensure victory for your allies.’

The guild members formed a party by dividing the number of people


into groups as they had previously divided.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Five letters to say, come quickly and
put up a barrier.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: There are five Halloween branches;

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ㅇ

The five-letter word simply ignored the words of the five-letter word.
Next to them, the Earth Star was seen moving frantically, breaking
bricks. Cat Nyang Na Nyang was riding near the castle wall with King
Saber Halloween Branch, which would provide him with a shield, and
Park Hwi Buglae, a heal and buff shuttle.

‘It’s 30 seconds before the battle starts. Everyone, please wait for
the next command at your assigned location.’

The clock at the top center of the monitor was counting down. This
means there are less than 30 seconds left until the gate opens. I
thought about just standing here and defending the castle, but for
some reason I felt like today was the time to step up.
Yeo-woon decided to protect Park Hwi’s bug this time. It is a kind of
restoration of honor. As Yeo-woon began to flutter in front of the
castle gate, Park Hwi-bug raised a question mark above his head.

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Ah, the kkakdugi is trying to follow;;

[Guild] neutaaaa: Me?

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Hahahaha, are you going to hide behind that
little, chubby little me again?^^

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Thump hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Kitty cat cat: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] neutaaaa: Be quiet

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: (Yes~)

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Cockroach, this is a warning. Newta, you


are not allowed to point out anything.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I heard you, cockroach.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Hahahahahahaha wheel

At first, perhaps because he still felt sorry for me because of Earth,


Captain Poseidon took Yeo-woon’s side like this. Not always, but
most of the time….

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Is there a ban on intentionally calling people


by wrong nicknames and causing insults?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: None

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Then make it for me.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: I don’t like it

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: This is purely arbitraryㅜㅜ

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: It’s funny how cockroaches do that


every time; Ji made up a nickname like that lol.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: You don’t even know how I feelㅡㅡ;;

What do you do with a cockroach’s mind?

“…Kkakdugi. Let me take back those words with my own words.”

Yeowoon pretended it was a mistake and kicked Park Hwi, and put
his weapon back on. Although Park Hwibugae didn’t even care about
him.

As Yeo-woon joined the front line party, the Earth Star that was flying
behind came whirling and almost hit Yeo-woon’s side. He raised his
fist above his head.

“….”

Since the planet Earth was using it, no matter how I looked at it, it
only seemed like an intention to seize it. But there was no need to
refuse if they offered to help me. Yeo-woon followed suit and used
the emoticon of raising his fist. When I paid attention to Earth Star,
he got angry, held his stomach, laughed, and wrote a series of loud
emoticons. Yeowoon decided not to react to him anymore.

The Poseidon Guild has systematically divided into teams and


practiced clearing a path. The Isis map is divided into four areas
based on certain landmarks. The frontmost team that Yeowoon
belonged to was named ‘District 1 Party’.

The side closest to the opponent’s castle is Zone 1, and the castle
that your team must protect is Zone 4. Captain Poseidon divided the
guild members into four parties according to each area they were
responsible for, and devised a strategy of exiting the castle gate one
by one at different times.

Usually, most dealers with excellent control skills, including Earth


Star, joined the frontline attack party, and the healers were divided
into two halves and one or two people were placed in each party.
And because the lingering feeling can be put anywhere, it was an
atmosphere where no one said anything even if I wandered around
wherever I wanted.

‘The battle has begun!’


The trumpet sounded. Halloween Branch, the King Saber, was the
first to run out as soon as the gate opened. He ran out protecting
the battle line with a large shield, followed by Nyangynyangnanyang
and Yeo-un, and behind Yeo-un, Park Hwi-bug followed.

Earth Star took the lead first by jumping in the air and using a double
jump and strange mobility skills. And when I felt like I was leaving
the screen, I stopped for a moment and waited for the party in
District 1. If this is going to happen, just don’t get ahead. Yeowoon
shook his head.

It was about time we passed the stone pagoda landmark located in


the exact center of Isis. Molotov cocktails and stones flew from the
supply station, and the sound of unit robots crawling out to assist in
battle was loud, but no sound was heard from the melody.

“Is the level of the supply station over there low? “Why can’t I hear
anything?”

Yeowoon tilted his head.

As soon as I crossed the center row, I noticed dozens of guild


members rushing in from the other side. They also run out with King
Saber carrying a large shield at the head. I was tensing my
shoulders, thinking that we would fight right away, and preparing for
a skill with a stun effect.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Where are they all? LOL

[Guild] neutaaaa: ?
Seonyul had no intention of stopping Poseidon’s District 1 party.
They stepped on the installed obstacle platform and climbed over it,
passing lightly over the heads of Yeoun and his group. I was
wondering why it passed by without fighting when we encountered it,
but since the Halloween branch was moving forward without
stopping, Yeowoon also just looked ahead and ran.

“… What are we going to do?”

Yeowoon muttered to himself. The area near the Citadel of Melody


was empty. As for the only remaining two guild members,
Nyangnyangnyangnyang and Earthstar divided them one by one and
killed them all at once.

‘neutaaaa has begun attacking the enemy stronghold!’

When Yeowoon attempted to attack the castle first, this fact became
widely known throughout the map. Following him,
Nyangnyangnyangnyang and Earth Star also joined in destroying the
castle, but the durability of the castle was higher than expected.
Four people gathered together and attacked the castle randomly, but
only 1% of its durability was used up. It was said to be more painful
than most dungeon boss monsters. If things continued like this,
there would be no answer even if I beat him all day. The strength of
other guild members was needed.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: This is strange. It’s District 1, but the area
near Melody Castle is completely empty…

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: They haven’t built anything like a
supply center or hospital.
I had a bad feeling.

[Guild] Flying W: ?? I just passed by Seonyul District 2.

[Guild] al0ha: Huh?

[Guild] Amoled Red: I just passed District 3. It doesn’t even attack.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Oh, we saw it too.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Why do so many of them come here? I’m


embarrassed.

Seonyul invested everything only in castle durability and did not


touch anything else. Perhaps because of this, the two guild
members who had been killed earlier had not yet been revived.
Because the level of the hospital building was not raised at all, the
resurrection cooldown was longer than that of Poseidon.

‘al0ha has passed away.’

‘Wandu Wandya has passed away.’

‘Kidney Jjjjwi has passed away.’

‘Captain Poseidon has passed away.’

‘The enemy Sunset has begun a merciless massacre!’


‘The enemy, Seolyoung, has begun a merciless massacre!’

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Oh, I thought about it for a moment and died
by mistake haha.

[Guild] al0ha: Pretend it was a mistake

The guild members remaining in Area 4 began to die one after


another. And at the same time, the durability of Poseidon’s castle
begins to wear down. They gathered together as a group and
rushed towards the castle, and from the beginning, Seonyul seemed
to have planned a strategy of pushing forward, thinking only about
attack rather than defense.

Poseidon did not stay still either. Those who remained in areas 3
and 4 also counterattacked and killed several Seon-yuls. However,
unlike Poseidon, where party members were divided evenly, Seonyul
was at a disadvantage because all guild members were united as
one.

If things continued like this, it would inevitably be a loss for


Poseidon. The strategy is to pour all the investment into castle
durability and have all guild members attack…. No matter how I
looked at it, I thought it was too inefficient.

“….”

The durability of the castle of melody that appeared on the screen


was as worn down as the eyes of an ant. In comparison, it was
confirmed that more than 20% of Poseidon’s fortress had already
been destroyed.
‘Enemy Lirion has died.’

[All] Lillian: Ah, one shot died again

After Yeowoon had reduced the health of the newly resurrected


Lilian by half, the Earth Star finished him off. The Halloween branch
that was destroying the castle also took a moment to give a thumbs
up. As soon as the enemy Lirion’s body disappeared, Yeowoon
turned around and started running.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Nyuta is running away hahahahaha

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Where are you going?

[Guild] neutaaaa: To help others!

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: You? Hahahahaha

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Why don’t you come?

If most of the combatants are gathered near Poseidon’s Fortress,


Poseidon is at a disadvantage. Yeo-woon decided to go back to the
more urgent matter and help the guild members. Earth Star caught
up with the lingering feeling late and used question mark emoticons
one after another as if asking why she was going back.

It seemed like all the guild members who were supposed to be in


areas 2 and 3 were returning to the castle to provide support. The
road was completely empty. As I followed the empty road, I came
across Poseidon’s castle at the end of my vision, and a scene where
skills were frantically intertwined.

In a scene of chaos where allies were beaten to death, enemies


were killed, and each other was beating each other to death,
Sunset, floating in the air with a blank face, caught Yeo-woon’s eyes.

“…!”

Moon Fairy is a wizard-type profession. And the wizard profession is


the food of heroes!

my food!

Yeowoon thought it was time to show off the skills he had honed
over the years. It was at that time when Yeowoon was hesitantly
approaching the sunset.

Towards the Earth Star, which was killing the members of the
Melody Guild with light movements, Sunset said, ‘Hello!’ and wrote a
cheerful greeting emoticon. As if to reciprocate, Earth Star jumped
up to the upper platform and used an emoticon saying ‘Nice to meet
you!’ Sunset covered her mouth and giggled, wondering why she
was so happy. The Earth Star also covered its mouth and giggled.

What are you two doing in the meantime? Yeo-woon glanced at the
two people leisurely greeting each other, and as soon as he reached
the platform directly below Sunset, he pressed the shortcut key F2.

‘Coma Balloon!’
Yeo-woon snapped his fingers, and a black balloon appeared and
soared upward. And a balloon with a temporary stun effect burst in
front of Sunset’s face. Sunset’s eyes were spinning and the
character was swaying from side to side.

“done!”

Since a skill was added that could stun the user with a 30% chance,
all that was left to do was hit them to death.

‘Charge Blow!’

Yeowoon charges his hands with striking energy,

‘Shadow Buster!’

He used a jumping skill while throwing an uppercut towards Sunset.


As soon as the stun was lifted, Sunset, who was hit by an ADC skill
that had three times the attack power, was repeatedly knocked
back, and soon fell to the ground where he was standing, his eyes
turning into X’s.

‘Enemy Sunset has died.’

Earth Star stood still and used a shocked emoticon. He opens his
mouth and makes a gasping sound.

[All] Seolyoung: He’s dead now


[All] Queen of Spades: Wow, in Power Rangers, no one attacks
when talking or transforming….

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Wow, Nyuta is the best!!

[Guild] Kitty cat cat: ??I don’t know, but ㅊㅋㅊㅋ

[Guild] neutaaaa: Hahahaha

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: It’s surprisingly helpful haha.

[Guild] al0ha: I died three times because of that melodious gray hair.

The guild members who had time to chat for a moment unanimously
praised the afterglow. I felt proud inside. It was so rewarding to
succeed in a series for the first time. After eliminating all of the
Melody Guild members gathered near the castle, the durability of
the castle was at 50% for both guilds.

I thought that now that I had scattered the melodies that were all in
one place, all that was left was to work hard and do my job.
However, Yeowoon faced an unexpected difficulty.

About a minute later, the revived Sunset flew back to the Poseidon
camp and began firing intensively, following only Yeo-woon, not
anyone else.

‘Sunset has declared neutaaaa as the target!’


[Guild] neutaaaa: ???

[Guild] neutaaaa: ??????

[Guild] neutaaaa: ?????????

‘Heavenly judgment!’

He targeted the afterglow and concentrated the damage on him. An


arrow of pure white light fell on Yeo-woon, and his stamina bar was
depleted before he could do anything about it.

No, Moon Fairy is a buff job! Does this make sense?

‘neutaaaa has passed away.’

‘Sunset’s shadow has been stained with the blood of the enemy!’

Every time Sunset succeeds in killing Yeo-woon, she lowers her


finger on the dead body of Yeo-woon and says, ‘Woo-woo.’ and
booed. Half of his attacks were successful and half failed, and it was
all thanks to Earth Star sticking by Yeowoon’s side and beating
Sunset to some extent.

Even if Sunset died at the hands of Earth Star, she flew back and
beat up Yeo-woon, and when she died again, she flew back and
bullied Yeo-woon. The Queen of Spades, who was watching Yeo-
woon lowering her thumb from above, said something.
[All] Queen of Spades: Not my opinion

[All] Queen of Spades: She doesn’t like the way you look.

Sunset nodded her head eagerly as if her interpretation was correct,


then covered her mouth and giggled.

[All] Queen of Spades: They say it looks the same.

[All] neutaaaa: Hmm?

I didn’t think anything of it because I heard it often. There are too


many people in this game who don’t have eyes to see.

‘Ji9star declared Sunset as the target!’

[Guild] Halloween Branch: ?

But strangely enough, the Earth Star suddenly targeted Sunset.

‘Enemy Sunset has died.’

Until now, the guy who had been doing his job and protecting the
afterglow from time to time suddenly began to attack Sunset as if
some kind of wind had blown.

‘neutaaaa has passed away.’


[Guild] Park Hwibugae: I’m glad. This time, the person with the most
deaths seems to be Nyuta haha.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: …thief

Sunset attacks Yeowoon, Earth Star attacks Sunset, and then


dies…. The siege was barely normalized, but Yeowoon, Earth Star,
and Sunset became 2:1 PVP, so it was like playing another game
within the game.

“what’s this!”

Now we spend more time dead waiting for resurrection than alive.
Yeo-woon, who was overflowing with the thought of performing a lot,
felt his resentment toward Sunset slowly building up in his heart.

‘neutaaaa has passed away.’

[All] Seolyoung: Oh my, you died again hahahaha

Sunset put her hands together and prayed briefly as Yeowoon died,
then giggled.

[All] Queen of Spades: Daeyoung expressed joy at your death

Sunset nodded with a bright face.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Hahahaha….


[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: ㅅㅂYou’re so good at interpretation
hahahahahaha

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: I fainted from laughter

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yeo-woon later planned to report Sunset once again after their ban
on chatting was lifted.

‘Ji9star declared Sunset as the target!’

As Yeo-woon dies, a ‘woo-woo-woo’ above him. Sunset, who was


jeering, got hit by Earth Star and fell down next to Yeo-woon and
died. Earth Star stepped on Sunset’s corpse and used an angry
emoticon. I couldn’t understand what they were saying.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: What are you three really doing?


Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha It’s just PVP.

[Guild] Kitty Cat: They seem to be fighting a different fight than us…

Yeowoon died more often than Moon Fairy, who had low health, and
seeing Sunset jeer at him obnoxiously every time he died made me
laugh out loud. In the end, I was caught in the middle, unable to do
anything, and the only thing that exploded here and there was the
lingering feeling.
‘The war for occupation of Isis is coming to an end! The winner is
[Poseidon] Guild!

A magnificent trumpet sound sounded and colorful effects fluttered


across the screen.

“…Did you win?”

I didn’t know what happened.

The siege, in which the host and guests were defeated, eventually
ended with Poseidon succeeding in destroying the Castle of Melody
first. With a difference of less than 10 points, Isis City was given the
Poseidon Guild emblem.

Everyone clicked their tongues and said that it was a really close
game and that it was the first time they had ever seen such an
unexpected match, but Yeo-woon could not agree with those words
at all. The time I had been dead was longer than the time I had been
alive, and all that remained from this occupation war were the Earth
Star, Sunset, and the memories of myself being destroyed in
between them.

Looking at the game report, the first place in contribution was


Nyannyangnyangnyang, the first place in number of kills was Earth
Byul, and the first place in number of deaths was myself.

“….”
Still, should we consider it a positive thing that we won first place in
a place like this? I just sighed. I won, but I didn’t feel like I played a
zero game. I felt a little sluggish as I couldn’t show any activity other
than my first successful streak.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Ahh, first place!!

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Newta’s record updated ㅊㅊ

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Park Hwi, did you get death insurance??

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Park Hwi-rae shamefully told the guild master of Yeo-woon’s secret


whisper.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Captain Newta whispered to me that he had


taken out death insurance ㅜㅜ

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Did you take out insurance?

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: ㄴㄴ

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Then eat.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: This is ridiculous. They only favor Newnim.


Meanwhile, Sunset smiled brightly and spun around in the air. Just
by looking at his appearance, he didn’t look like a gangster who was
ruthlessly targeting Yeo Woon and beating him up. After a while,
Earthstar and Sunset disappeared from the field at the same time.

[All] Seolyoung: Where are you going, Gilma?

[All] Queen of Spades: Looks like she went to get some food lol

[All] Flower Rabbit: I don’t have time for the rabbit. Do I have to
wait?ㅜㅜ

[All] Queen of Spades: ㅇㅅㅇ…lol

[All] Seolyoung: Why? Just go lol, it’s not a part-time job.

[All] Flower Rabbit: Yes♡

[All] Aslen: ㅇㅋㅇㅋ

Seonyul left the map without even looking back. After half of the
crowd had left, people wearing familiar clothes began to slowly walk
out to Yeo-woon’s side.

“…!”

As if they were still watching on the observation channel, the Black


Cloak Army came to Yeo-woon’s side and used a ‘patting’ motion.
Yeo-woon, who was momentarily moved, raised his fist, and the
cloaked army in the map all followed Yeo-woon and raised their fists.

A calm emotion passed warmly between the cloak army and the
lingering emotions.

[All] Hamster: No
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha you
can’t report something like that?

[All] Hamster: It is a big problem for the aesthetics of the street.

[All] If you hit me, you will be defeated: ? They said they would leave
it alone and play with each other.

[All] Hamster: Haha? But why are you speaking informally?

[All] If you hit me, you’ll be disgraced: Your alpha? Haha

The hamster and If You Hit Me, I’ll Lose You, suddenly got into a
fight among themselves, started arguing, and disappeared to
engage in one-on-one PVP.
[All] Wandu Wanda: Wow, that cape is disgusting.

[All] Halloween Eggplant: Shall we go too?

[All] Park Hwi Bug: Why are they doing that?

Poseidon also left the map in a hurry. Earth Star and Sunset
returned to the field after finishing PVP, but disappeared at the same
time as if they were going to fight again. Anyway, what would we do
if we started PVP with two people who were banned from chatting….

Yeowoon no longer waited for the Earth Star and leisurely left the
map. After a while, Earth Star notified Whole Blue of the results.

「Earth: I won all but three games><ㅋ」

…no. You mean we fought more than three times? It’s gross, really.
Yeowoon burst into laughter and asked.

“Why did you fight?”

「Jigu: No, that guy said it wasn’t even the clothes, it was the look
of his brother’s character that made him look like shit.」

「Earth: What happened hahaha」


「Earth: ㅡㅡ」

「Earth: They point out how good-looking they are and how
annoying they are;」

“….”

Why is he so angry?

“Why is that?”

After all, it’s not even your face. It was my character’s face, but it
felt strange that Earth Star got angry instead. Of course, it was a bit
absurd to die in succession from a concentrated attack without even
playing properly, but I wasn’t angry at Sunset.

What on earth is the reason why he went to PVP and beat up


Sunset when it wasn’t his business? The guy who was having fun
with Sunset while chatting with emoticons just a little while ago is just
because of me….

“…!”

“lol”

“Earth: Why are you smiling all of a sudden?”

「Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha cute」
“Earth: What is it?”

「Earthstar is so cute hahahahaha」

「Earth: ㅇㅇㅇㅣㅣ;me」

“earth: ???????”

It was cute how disingenuous it was. He always begged me to take


off his cape…. The truth is, it wasn’t all sincere.

「Earth: Why are you really doing this???」

“lol”

Deep down, you thought I was cool…. It’s obvious. The planet Earth
has finally acknowledged me!

Yeowoon was filled with pride and scratched his cheek for no
reason.

Title: (Hot post now!) Isis exhibition review.txt

Posted by forestS2/Bard

It was the first game in a while that I watched with my hands full of
sweat.

At first, when I watched it in spectator mode, I was a little worried


because the build-up styles of both camps were so different.

Seonyul, who invested all his points in the castle with a very high
attack build, and Poseidon, who was good at diversifying his
investments and was good at timing respawns and making good use
of units coming from supply stations….

In the end, the winner was Poseidon….

After seeing that, I thought that diversified investment in stocks was


the answer…. (I keep crying because I invested all my money in bio
stocks last year…)

And no matter what, I think this is the highlight of the Poseidon


Guild! I was so impressed that I made a meme. lol

(000.gif)

I really think it’s a perfect series^^ I haven’t tried raising a hero, but it
doesn’t seem like everyone does. (It’s obvious that comments will
soon say, “Oh, I know how to do it. That’s easy. That’s not how you
do it.”)
Anyway, this person is the emperor of control. I’ve known him since
he dressed unusually, and there’s something different about him
from other guys. ㄷㄷ I guess it’s the faint scent of coriander?

It’s awesome!

***
It’s been just over two weeks since I started feeling strange lingering
feelings. The mail envelopes that I had not taken out even when I
saw them because I was too lazy to look at them in the evening
looked like they were stuck in a different shape, or that they were all
in the mailbox instead of sticking out, etc. This was happening
repeatedly. Yeo-woon had no doubt that it was the work of the thief
from last time.

‘An empty house thief.’

Even though his identity was revealed to me last time, he is still


secretly coming to visit me. …Should I really tell the security office
and ask to see the CCTV? Even if you tell them, they might reject
you and say that nothing has happened yet.

Yeowoon muttered with a serious face and entered the swimming


pool. The wet, cold tiles clicked against the soles of my feet. And,
perhaps because he came earlier than me, I saw Yun Ji-gu enter the
water first.

He had an entire lane to himself and was cutting through the water
at high speed. Not long after, Yoon Ji-gu raised his head, wiping his
wet face with a large hand. And when he saw Yeo-Woon squatting
right in front of him and looking down at him, he gasped and was
startled.

“….”

“….”
As Yeowoon just looked at him and didn’t say anything, his pitch-
black eyes with particularly sharp edges wavered slightly. Yun Ji-gu
wiped his moist lips and muttered timidly.

“Why, why?”

There was no particular reason. It was surprising to me, but I just


thought that I was really good at swimming. I also sat down to say
hello. Yeowoon thought to himself as he dipped his legs in the water.

Every time I caught a glimpse of him swimming in the next lane, I


couldn’t see him clearly and only saw a black figure moving back
and forth very quickly. So I thought to myself, ‘That’s a really fast
fish.’ But that seemed to be because I didn’t have a chance to see it
properly.

Unlike Yeo-un’s freestyle, which was still closer to dog swimming,


Yun Ji-gu’s posture was solid. In addition, my eyes were drawn to
me because of my long height and broad shoulders compared to
other members. In fact, rather than swimming, the most impressive
moment was when I reached the end and just raised my face. …So,
is it because of the face that stands out? . He was really
unnecessarily handsome.

“…Wow, you say that to someone’s face! Really embarrassing…!”

Did I say something out loud again? I have to be careful. As


Yeowoon was mindlessly reflecting, Jigu Yoon’s ears turned red
again. As if he was embarrassed, he raised his hand and played with
his earlobe for a long time. Instead of trying to speak, I glanced at
the lingering feeling. After repeatedly turning his head a couple of
times, he finally opened his mouth.
“Ching…Thank you Chan, but I feel burdened by something like
this….”

“…?”

Feeling burdened?

“I told you this before. Let’s just be friends.”

“huh? i know. Can’t I tell my friends that I’m handsome?”

“….”

“I was just saying it to myself, but I said it without realizing it, so


don’t worry about it.”

At those words, Yun Ji-gu slowly closed his eyes. Just by looking at
it, I could see that he was convinced. He looked a little confused in
his suspicious eyes, but then he said, ‘Is that so?’ His eyes softened
as if he was thinking.

“But why are you being polite….”

Oh right. Have you decided to stop talking? Yeo-woon opened his


mouth, thinking that Yoon Ji-gu was somewhat strict in an
unexpected way.

“Since when did you start swimming?”


“… You’re so natural.”

“what?”

“…Does he not know or is he just pretending? You are so interested


in me…. … I’ve been swimming since middle school.”

“You started early. Did you want to become a player?”

“no. Because of my brother….”

When Yeowoon heard those words, Jihyuk Yoon naturally came to


mind. A man with slightly long hair tied in a ponytail. I remember
feeling much softer than Yoon Ji-gu, who had a cold and sharp aura,
but his forearms were clearly no joke even at first glance. Perhaps
because he ran a gym or something, his whole body was writhing,
making him someone you wouldn’t want to mess with.

“When was he just born? At that time, I remember my brothers


almost drowning in the water of the valley, and since then, neither of
us have been able to go to the bottom of the water even if we die.
So, at least swimming is a sport that you can do alone without
interference from your older brothers….”

“ah….”

It was said that he had to exercise, and to avoid his older brothers
who were afraid of water, he switched to swimming. It seemed like
he didn’t get along well with his brothers. But the last time I saw you,
I didn’t get the feeling that the relationship was that bad.
‘But we haven’t become close enough to ask about family matters
yet.’

Don’t be rude and just keep your mouth shut. Yeowoon buried the
question that suddenly occurred to him, closed his eyes, and smiled.

“I see. You did well, swimming.”

“…Of course, I’ve been doing it for several years.”

He muttered in a grumpy tone. But strangely, his shoulders


shrugged up.

“But why aren’t you wearing the bathrobe I gave you?”

“That… How do you wear it in the pool!”

“… Don’t you like it?”

I bought it at best, but it was a waste of money…. This bastard


ignores human nature….

“Oh, no! Even if I die, I won’t wear it! Don’t look at me like that. A
little….”

“….”
What did I do? All I did was just stare. Why would you wear a full
body swimsuit but not a bathrobe? Actually, I don’t think there’s
anything special about it. Yeo-woon looked down at Yun Ji-gu and
asked.

“Do you want to go out with me when I go home later?”

“…!”

Although we swim at the same time, we have never gone out


together. Even if they ran into each other on the way out, most of
the time, Ji-gu Yoon ran away first, or waited for a long time for Yeo-
woon to leave. Perhaps that’s why it was clear that Yeo-woon’s
proposal meant something very important to Yoon Ji-gu. He
hesitated for a while and then nodded his head faintly.

“bachelor. Are you friends with that tall bachelor? “Why do they say
that?”

“joy. You chewed on the ladies’ words, but since you are a bachelor
of your age, I guess we can understand each other?”

After hearing those words, Yeo-woon looked at In-young walking


away and said.

“We became friends.”

“He’s talented too. We’ve been going to this swimming pool for a
year, and no one has ever talked to that bachelor.”
It’s been a year and I was asked why I was still in the beginner’s
class. However, Yeo-woon, who was ingrained with respect for his
elders, was unable to bring up the story.

“Then, would you like to say something so that I can introduce you
to my daughter later?”

“Didn’t you just have two sons?”

“But Jaehyuk’s mom… How do you know if you’ll have another


daughter tomorrow?”

“Mom!”

The ladies were giggling and joking. Yeo-woon tilted his head at the
suggestion, recalling what Ji-gu Yun had just said.

‘Then go out first and wait for me, and I’ll go home with you.’

“…?”

It’s ambiguous because it sounds a bit patronizing, but if you think


about his initial attitude.

…You’ve become friends, right?


***

After leaving the pool and waiting for about 5 minutes, Jigu Yoon
hurriedly came out, wiping his dripping hair with a towel. Then, I
almost bumped into a female member who was just about to enter
the women’s locker room. He turned his back on the strangely
mesmerized woman who couldn’t keep her mouth shut and ran
towards Yeo-woon.

“many…! “Did you wait?”

“….”

Why are you coming out already?

I haven’t even finished a single puzzle game, but I didn’t expect it to


come out already. Yeo-woon picked up the towel that was falling
down his shoulders and placed it over Yoon Ji-gu’s head.

“Your clothes are all wet. Dry your hair properly before coming
out….”

“I’m going to dry it on the way home anyway.”

He grabbed the towel, draped it around his neck, and strode out of
the pool. Yeowoon caught up with his steps and walked next to him,
telling him trivial stories. Things like how the weather is really nice
today or that the new instructor is the same age as Ji-gu Yoon.
“The instructor took one look and memorized my name and that of
the ladies.”

“….”

“He talks a lot. I think you have a really nice personality. yes?”

“…Then me.”

“huh?”

“If you don’t say much. no, I do not want?”

We were talking about a new instructor for a while, and I couldn’t


figure out why the conversation jumped to that point. Ji-gu Yoon
looked at Yeo-woon with an expression that made him wonder if this
was nonsense, then turned his head and muttered.

“… I feel bad because it feels like they are secretly criticizing me.”

When I heard it, it could have sounded like that. There are so many
people in this world and their personalities are so diverse. Moreover,
Yoon Ji-gu was the type of guy who suddenly got on guard
whenever I said one word and said two or three words. It was my
fault for overlooking that fact. Yeo-woon thought that he would have
to be more careful about what he said to the sensitive Yoon Ji-gu
from now on, and said something to appease him.

“Don’t worry, you have a lot to say too. I guess you thought you
were quiet, but that’s not true at all.”
“yes? “No!”

“That’s right.”

“….”

Yun Ji-gu’s eyebrows twitched again, causing an uproar. He seemed


to think that wasn’t the case at all. But just looking at this situation,
when something unfair happens to me, he tends to talk at a rapid
pace and spew out strange gibberish words. It was a fact that even
he had only recently learned.

“It’s better to keep quiet.”

“…yes?”

“I don’t care.”

At Yeo-woon’s words, Yun Ji-gu silently glanced at Yeo-woon and


then left his mouth open. Ah, it really stands out. It was a sighing
voice, but the sound of the exhaust of a motorcycle passing by
quickly drowned out the voice he was talking to himself.

“Uh, it’s a cat.”

Yeowoon muttered. As I was getting close to the house, a scruffy


tuxedo cat appeared from among the bushes. The cat, which wore
white socks on its paws and was completely black except for its
muzzle, looked at the two people and cried out. While I was just
thinking, “It’s really cute,” and was about to pass by, Jigu Yoon
suddenly turned and walked towards the cat. His steps were
impatient.

‘But why doesn’t he run away?’

The cat, which did not avoid people even when people approached,
sniffed the finger that Ji-gu Yun held out, then lay down on the floor
and put its head into his hand. Yeo-woon, chewing on what he had
said about the cat, belatedly approached the cat and squatted down
in front of it.

But when I looked closer, I saw that the cat was not in good
condition. The pink skin under his eyes was exposed as if he had
been scratched. It looked like there was a fight with other cats
nearby. The cat had wounds all over its body.

“Hey, why are you like this again?”

This idiot told me not to go around getting hit. It has to be resolved


through dialogue. I’m upset, really! Ji-gu Yoon, who was mumbling
and seemed to be talking to a cat alone, was shocked when he
belatedly realized that there was a lingering feeling. He lifted the cat
by its front paws and looked at its belly before letting go of the
struggling cat. The cat then glanced at Yeo-woon and Yun-ji-gu, then
jumped up again and started running towards the park.

“Your legs are like that too.”

Ji-gu Yoon’s voice, which had a strangely lower tone than before,
was unfamiliar. The cat seemed quite worried. Now that I think about
it, I was feeding the cat last time, and sometimes the cat would
come to the entrance of the cafe and get a snack before leaving.

Yeo-woon seemed genuinely upset that the cat was hurt, so he


turned the conversation to another topic. After chatting like that, I
came to the front of the house and saw a familiar car parked right
next to me. Yeowoon could no longer curse the owner of this car.

“….”

The car was really beautifully presented, but it was because it was
Ji-gu Yoon’s mother’s car….

“…Go in first. I’ll tell you to pull out.”

“Oh, no. I put it together like this and the car is clean and without
any scratches! You have really good driving skills….”

I tried my best to praise him, but it only had the opposite effect. Ji-
gu Yoon picked up his cell phone and called his mother. Although
you didn’t receive it.

“song. Anyway, today was the day my brothers came and went out
to eat.”

“eat out? Earlier, I thought I would just eat ramen for dinner….”

“You didn’t forget, right?”


I see…. I forgot.

It seemed like he finally remembered when he saw his mother’s car


parked in front of the house. Yeo-woon greeted Ji-gu Yoon, who was
standing in front of the car and sighing openly, and pressed the
elevator button. Strangely enough, the way home wasn’t boring at
all.

“We should ask to go out together in the future.”

Yeowoon hummed and threw his bag in front of the bathroom. He


flapped his jacket in the hot weather, took out a glass of water from
the refrigerator, and drank a cup. And just as I was about to sit down
on my computer chair to get some rest, the doorbell rang.

“Who is it….”

In front of the door, Yunyoung, who looked just like Yun Jigu, was
ringing the doorbell with tears streaming down her big eyes. Ji-gu
Yoon was standing next to him with his arms crossed, and Ji-hyuk,
who was holding the child, lowered his head as if embarrassed.

“hello. As I was parking earlier, Youngie….”

“This is Lee Yeo-un.”

Seeing how he was hesitant to say it, he seemed to have forgotten


the name, so when he said it again, Yoon Ji-hyuk laughed as if he
had no shame. Next to him, Yun Ji-gu was looking at the child as if
he felt sorry for Yun-young. Young stretched out his arms towards
Yeo-woon, paying no attention to Yun Ji-gu.

“Hello Young.”

Yeong smiled brightly, with tears in his eyes, at Yeowoon’s greeting.


Yeo-woon suddenly picked up the warm child and looked at the two
brothers in confusion.

“My child suddenly cried when he saw Yeo-woon enter.”

“… Me?”

“I don’t care, but if you don’t mind, I’d like to buy you dinner tonight.
Are you okay?”

“I told you. You’ll just play games and have some free time?”

Yun Ji-gu muttered softly instead of lingering. Then my brother


pinched my side to tell me to be quiet, so I couldn’t even get my
money’s worth.

“Me? I heard you were eating out with your family….”

It was too sudden. I wondered if it would be okay for me, a complete


stranger, to join me for a long-awaited meal out with my family…. It
was incomprehensible to my common sense that they would even
treat me, a neighbor, to dinner just because my child was crying.
“look. Yoonyoung, don’t be pushy and say bye-bye to that uncle.”

Hearing Ji-gu Yoon’s words, Young hugged Yeo-un’s neck tighter.

“no. Uncle, be quiet.”

“You just be quiet.”

I felt it last time too, but Jigu Yoon surprisingly can communicate
with a child who is up to his knees. Yeo-woon, who had been
watching in fascination as Young was having a childish argument
with Ji-gu Yoon, raised his head and looked at Ji-hyuk Yoon. He, too,
just sighed as if he was used to this situation. It seemed like the
stress of parenting wasn’t enough.

“But will your mother and others be okay if I go?”

“The second child said it didn’t matter, and my mother said she liked
it too.”

“ah…. The second person is also coming.”

Three brothers, a mother, and a baby. It was a proper family


gathering. Yeo-woon looked at Yun Ji-gu, who of course thought he
would refuse, and then nodded.

“Then I like it too.”


Yoon Ji-gu was even more surprised by Yeo-woon’s words and held
his breath. He looked at Ji-hyuk, who was going to press the
elevator again with a relieved face, and whispered in Yeo-woon’s ear.

“What on earth are you thinking!”

“I haven’t eaten dinner yet….”

“… I’m just asking just in case, so don’t try to fool me.”

What was there for me to be fooling around with? Yeo-woon thought


for a moment and remembered the day he woke up at Yun Ji-gu’s
house with a cold. And the wrong report card that day. It was clear
that he didn’t want to be found out.

‘But did you think I would tell that to my mother?’

It’s not like I have any malicious intent towards Yoon Ji-gu. Why
would you deliberately tell me something like that, giving me what
qualifications I have? Yeo-woon smiled faintly, thinking that Yun Ji-gu
was really worried.

***

“Is our youngest here?”


What I encountered as soon as I got off the elevator was a man
waving at Yun Ji-gu in a hushed voice as if he was addressing a
local dog. The man with his hair cut short like an athlete was also
quite large. Yeo-woon muttered to himself that that family had strong
muscle genes.

And like a dog…No, the cafe owner, who was sitting in the driver’s
seat of a beautifully parked car, looked up. I remember seeing his
face a couple of times when I went to Cafe Earth. The cafe owner
and Yoon Ji-gu’s mother rolled down the driver’s side window and
smiled brightly at Yeo-woon.

“You live next door to Earth? “You’ve seen us before, right?”

“Hello, boss.”

When Yeowoon bowed his head and said hello politely, the cafe
owner waved his hand.

“Oh my! What the boss! “I’m just a local lady.”

Still, he seemed to like the title ‘boss’, so he covered his mouth and
smiled shyly. Young, who was in his arms, tugged on Yeo-woon’s
sleeve, asking him to let her down. As soon as the child got out, he
toddled to the passenger seat and got into the car first.

“Yeowoon, let’s get on first. I will ride in front holding my spirit.”

Yeo-woon was pushed by Yoon Ji-hyuk’s hand and suddenly opened


the backseat door. Ji-gu Yoon ran behind him as if running away and
placed his hand on Yeo-woon’s shoulder.

“what are you doing? Ride quickly. hurry.”

“Has our youngest gained weight?”

“…Oh, go away, kinda.”

Meanwhile, Yun Ji-gu was being bullied by his second older brother,
who forced him to hold his shoulder. While riding along with Ji-gu
Yoon and massaging her forearms, he commented that she had lost
some muscle mass, and Ji-hyuk Yoon, the eldest child, agreed with
her opinion and scolded her to manage her weight.

‘I don’t think our relationship is bad….’

Yun Ji-gu’s expression was rotten. He mutters a small curse with his
mouth. It’s not that their relationship is bad, but Yoon Ji-gu doesn’t
seem to like his one-sided affection.

The child and his father sat in the front seat, and Yeo-woon and his
second older brother sat in the back seat with Ji-gu Yoon between
them.

“I played for a while as a student and suffered a broken shoulder.


I’m currently running a small gym.”

While driving to a Korean restaurant about 20 minutes away,


Yeowoon chatted with a man she had met for the first time. Ji-gu
Yoon said, ‘Wow, that’s right.’ I watched in amazement as Yeo-woon
almost told me everything about my second brother, including his
name and age, with just one word.

“Wow, I also learned boxing briefly last year.”

“…!”

Ji-ho Yoon took offense at those words and asked about Yeo-woon’s
sports experience, and also secretly gossiped about the gym that
Yeo-woon used to go to. Yeo-woon felt a little unfair when asked why
the course fee was so high, even though the director did not teach
directly and learned from someone who had only one year of
coaching experience. It was because I felt like I had been scammed.
It felt like shit from the start of something corrupt and corrupt.

“…Huh.”

After muttering to himself about the former boxing coach’s


appearance, Ji-gu Yoon cleared his throat and gently touched his
cheek. As soon as he arrived at Han Jeong-sik’s house and got out
of the car, he clung to Yeo-woon’s side, probably because he was
afraid that Ji-ho Yoon would cling to him. Yeo-woon looked up at him
who hurriedly ran to her side and smiled.

“Why are you smiling again?”

Jigu Yoon asked with a disgruntled face. At first, it seemed like a


scary expression, but now it was surprising that even if I glared at
him like this, he didn’t feel anything. I realized once again how
important a person’s image is. Yeo-woon smiled as he remembered
his younger sister, who never sent a text message unless I
contacted him first.

“Because it’s cute.”

“…yes?”

“You’re cute. He really seems like the youngest. … My younger


brother was like this at times too.”

Until I was fourteen…. On my birthday, I said to my sister, ‘It’s my


birthday today…’ There was a time when I sent a message saying,
‘ㅇㅎ’ and a week later I finally received a reply saying ‘ㅇㅎ’.
Perhaps because we only see each other during holidays, I have
thought a few times that I wish I had a younger sibling who was truly
like a younger sibling.

“….”

Yun Ji-gu’s face immediately turned bright red at Yeo-woon’s words.


He froze for a while, then was caught up by his second brother and
strangled by his forearms. Uncle red. Young muttered while holding
Ji-gu Yoon’s stiff hand, and only then did the second brother stop
strangling Ji-gu Yoon.

What to say during the meal was decided. It was somewhat


expected, but the only common interest between this family and
Yeo-woon was Ji-gu Yoon.
The family asked Yeo-woon how Ji-gu Yoon was doing, and Yeo-
woon glanced at Ji-gu Yoon, who was fidgeting as if he was anxious
that the report card would be mentioned. He gently grabbed Yoon Ji-
gu’s hand under the table to tell her to calm down.

“Of course, all I do is meet at the swimming pool, but I show up


faithfully every day.”

“Hmm, I guess not.”

Jiho Yoon smiled and tilted his head.

“uh? “It’s not a lie, it’s true.”

“No, it’s not that I don’t believe Yeowoon.”

“…?”

Ji-hyuk, who was also smiling and nodding, looked to the side and
saw that Ji-gu Yun was frozen like a broken toy. When I stared at
the side of his face, wondering why he was like this, Ji-gu Yoon stiffly
turned his head.

“no. My brother just…!”

“why? “You didn’t lie like you promised.”

Did I say something wrong? As the lingering whispers were heard


only by him, Ji-gu Yun continued to sigh as if his heart was tight.
Why is it like that? Yeowoon couldn’t understand at all what he was
thinking.

“what. Yoon Ji-gu, have you already made the brother next door
stop joining?”

“No!”

When the cafe owner smiled and asked, Ji-gu Yoon got angry and
shook his head.

“Brother?”

Moreover, his older brothers burst into laughter as they were taken
aback by the fact that they called Yeowoon by the title ‘brother’.

“He’s been sulking at us for a few years and calling us over there.
Yeowoon is quickly becoming a brother.”

“I think the Earth likes Yeo-woon a lot.”

“Ah, kinda! do not say that!”

Ji-gu Yoon tried to get up from his feet on the table, but sat down
again while half-standing, covering half his face with his large hands
and muttering.

“I think you are mistaken when you say that….”


“…?”

Why are you looking at me? Yeowoon dutifully smiled at the gaze
directed at me for a moment. Then Yun Ji-gu’s expression changed
to look more frustrated.

And suddenly, Yoon Ji-gu’s revelations began.

“Do you know that from middle school until he was 20 years old, he
never called us ‘brother’?”

Everything came out, starting with Yoon Ji-gu, who was angry at the
two for some reason and declaring that he would no longer call them
brothers, and even the most recent incident.

“Business buffet?”

When Yeo-woon asked in disbelief, Yun Ji-gu’s mouth was tightly


shut. It was an episode about him leaving home and starting to live
alone.

During his military service, he was on leave and was lounging at


home eating snacks when Ji-ho Yoon dragged him away and forced
him to exercise for six hours. Yun Ji-gu, who suddenly had to do a
full course of exercise during a long-awaited break, was so angry
that he didn’t say anything to Yun Ji-ho all day, and while he was
away, he sold off the keyboard and guitars in his room at a low price.
And with that money, I ordered a business buffet at my house. They
told me not to eat snacks.
For the first time in a long time, he called his few friends in the
neighborhood and had them dispose of the leftover food, and when
Ji-ho Yoon found out about it later, Ji-gu Yun had run away to the
military after his vacation. This was repeated several times even
after I was discharged from the military. When his father nagged him
to stay home for no reason, all his fishing supplies were sold, and he
was eventually allowed to become independent before selling off all
the household goods.

“Still, I was worried about whether I would adapt well after going
out… I’m glad I found good neighbors.”

“no. When I fell before, Mr. Earth…No, the Earth took care of me.”

“Is it him?”

Yeo-woon’s family asked in disbelief as he waved his hand. I had no


idea how on earth they lived at home to react like this. Anyway, I
thought he was just a bit shy, but there were some surprising
aspects.

“… Unexpected?”

Ji-gu Yoon looked down at Yeo-woon and muttered softly as if he


was worried, and after that, he just kept his mouth shut throughout
the meal.

***
“I really enjoyed the meal.”

“We invited you out of the blue, so thank you for coming.”

We greeted each other and got out of the car. Young, who had been
sleepy and whining in Yeo-woon’s arms earlier, was now drooped
and sleeping comfortably. As Yeo-woon was about to hand over the
sleeping child to Yoon Ji-hyuk, she noticed a man carrying
something at the entrance of the building.

“uh?”

When Yeowoon made a loud noise with his eyes wide open, the
Yoon brothers simultaneously turned to look in the direction he was
looking at. Although it was a blurry impression, it was a familiar face.

“He is a thief….”

The man raised his head at Yeowoon’s words. As soon as he saw


the afterglow, his expression darkened and he started running in the
opposite direction. I need to catch that! But the brothers ran out
faster than Yeowoon could think about it. The thief was overpowered
before he could take a few steps and was forced to kneel on the
asphalt.

What’s going on? The people inside the cafe also murmured and
stuck their heads out like meerkats. Yeowoon said as he handed the
child over to the bewildered cafe owner.
“Please go to the cafe, boss.”

“Well, well, do you want to do that?”

“that’s right. I’m in with Young, Mom.”

Hearing Yeo-woon and Yoon Ji-gu’s words, he suddenly glanced


behind him, holding Young, and opened the cafe door. After
confirming that the boss had entered, Yeo-woon belatedly headed
towards the thief, and Ji-gu Yoon followed him closely next to him.

When the two people stood in front of the man, he looked up at Yeo-
woon and gritted his teeth. He seemed embarrassed and said,
‘What are you doing, you hellchang bastards?’ I muttered. The man,
whose arms were tightly held by two muscular men, was holding a
white document envelope in one hand.

“Mr. Yeowoon. A thief….”

Seeing Ji-hyuk’s face saying that he had caught it but had no idea
what it was, Yeo-woon snatched the document envelope from the
man’s hand. On top of it was the Daehan University mark with the
recipient, ‘Yoon Ji-gu’.

‘…’It’s not my mail?’

I don’t know what it was, but I felt like I had to hide this fact from
Yoon Ji-gu’s family. After gently passing the envelope to Yun Ji-gu,
Yeo-woon squatted down and made eye contact with the man.
“I told you before. If you have any business, please leave your
number.”

“….”

“But it’s not like you had something to do with me, it seems like you
had something to do with Earth.”

At those words, the eyes of Ji-gu Yoon’s brothers changed. The man
glared at Yeo-woon, then turned his head to look at Yun Ji-gu
standing next to him and gritted his teeth. Disgust appeared on his
pale face.

“…why.”

The man who had been silent for a while opened his mouth in a
desperate voice.

“I ruined my life because of that bastard, so why not do something


like this?”

“…?”

know each other? Yeo-woon looked back at Yun Ji-gu. Although he


was looking down at the man with a grave face, his eyebrows were
slightly twitching.

“who…town.”
Yeo-woon hurriedly got up and covered Yun Ji-gu’s mouth. It was as
if he was someone he did not know. Asking who is who is not helpful
here.

“I broke up with Jihyo and Sujeong and got fired from my part-time
job because of you. On top of that, I lost my entire year’s
scholarship and wasted a lot of money throwing up money, but Yoon
Ji-gu, you’re like, fuck, you can’t take this much?”

“….”

Jigu Yoon widened his eyes as if he sensed something from those


words. He grabbed Yeo-woon’s hand covering his mouth, took it
away, and spoke harshly.

“You shouldn’t have crossed your legs like that.”

“…!”

At those words, Yeowoon looked back at the man. I couldn’t believe


it. I can’t believe you crossed your legs with that face. It was a sign
that the world was coming to an end.

“If only you hadn’t started the rumor!”

“I’m not the one who started the rumor? That article was written by
your girlfriend. Who wants to borrow hundreds of dollars from a
woman and then get caught going out on a date?”
“You took a picture of me and Jihyo together and sent it to Sujeong
via DM!”

“… She said she wouldn’t say her name.”

Before I knew it, people were crowding around. They say that
person is a thief. They say they robbed five houses around here. Oh
my god, he even has a weapon! Unfounded word of mouth was
increasing.

Ji-gu Yoon frowned and then asked vaguely as if he had


remembered something.

“You’re the one who terrorized my Instagram.”

“…What is that? Compared to what you did, you…Ugh!”

Jiho Yoon tapped the side of the man who was chuckling with his
foot and muttered harshly.

“Answer me properly, you thief.”

“Why am I a thief…is it!”

I was trying to speak informally, but I added words out of fear.


Maybe that’s why it looks even more unsightly.

“You stole this. It’s not yours either.”


Yeo-woon said, patting the Daehan University mail that Ji-gu Yoon
was holding tightly in her arms.

“What’s with just one document… .”

“Did you even try to open it?”

The entrance part was tattered. After opening it and checking the
contents, he hurriedly took it out. I didn’t know where on earth they
were going to use this.

“It wasn’t me or someone who lives here, but I stole something. He


said it all with his own mouth that his intentions were clear and he
even held a grudge. This would be punishable enough.”

“He even defamed me by posting my report card around school.”

I didn’t know it was that guy. Ji-gu Yoon muttered excitedly when
Yeo-woon took his side. When Yun Ji-ho heard those words, veins
appeared on his forehead. He kicked the man in the side and
screamed.

“Are you the one who sent the army to my brother?”

“army?”

Yun Ji-gu was taken aback by Yeo-woon’s muttering and dismissed it


as nothing special. It didn’t seem like a big deal. Jihyuk smiled with a
kind face, lifted the man up and patted his back.
“I don’t know if you know, but my family has a lot of money.”

“… Well, what is that?”

“It’s not so much that I’m worried about everything ahead of me.
Still, we can give you at least one planet to play and eat for the rest
of your life without having to work, right? “I guess your family’s
situation is not so good that you have to take a leave of absence for
a scholarship. Can you pay for the lawyer’s fees?”

“Are you threatening me now?”

“You made the threat. My child feels threatened because of you and
is going to go to the military. He said he would hold out
unconditionally until unification.”

Are you waiting for unification? It wasn’t all the dark history I heard
at the restaurant earlier.

“Why are you talking like that!”

Yun Ji-gu could not hide his embarrassed appearance.

“Looking at it, it looks like they were the ones who drew the F shape
in paint in front of my main house last year. How did they know my
house’s address?”

“Hyung, he’s in the student council.”


Yun Ji-gu half hid himself behind Yeo-woon and hinted. Even if I tried
to hide my body, it wasn’t even half covered.

“how is it. If you go in and tell them everything about what they did,
maybe they will treat you leniently without filing a complaint…Well, I’ll
at least consider it.”

The man looked worried, wondering if he was really tight for money.
The two brothers picked up the man and began to forcibly drag him
into the cafe. The people who had gathered around dispersed,
making a fuss. Yeo-woon handed the mouth-watering candy he had
brought earlier to Yoon Ji-gu, who looked somewhat surprised. He
looks down at the bag of candy and says he doesn’t like the taste of
scorched rice. I muttered.

“I didn’t know it was someone you knew. I thought you were a real
thief because you kept behaving awkwardly from last time.”

“… I couldn’t remember the face either.”

It was worth it. Because it wasn’t a face that was impressive enough
to remember.

“Are you very surprised?”

“…Not really. But I didn’t go to the military because of him, right? I


just went out to have fun because I was bored and had nothing to do
since the arrest warrant was issued, and it just so happened that I
was publicly executed at school for my report card. …I really don’t
care. When I went back to school, no one remembered me.”
“….”

“I thought it was someone from school. So at first…I thought my


brother moved in with me. Well, that was questionable. I can’t help
but be surprised because we keep running into each other!”

I guess he was really surprised to see that he was talking a lot. After
the man was caught inside the cafe, his mother joined him and he
was receiving mental education.

“that…Well, I didn’t do anything wrong. I thought it was strange that


she was dating another older sister and often went around with
people she had never met, so I just asked her via DM…. Strangely, I
didn’t even ask. I was just asking if you broke up with that older
brother. …He borrows money from both women and uses the
money to go on trips with other people, buy couple rings, and even
try to give expensive gifts. Then I got caught. But that’s a bad thing.
The senior made it public in the community, and things got a little
bigger, but that wasn’t because of me. Did I do something wrong?
Why aren’t you saying anything? Oh, speak quickly. Is it my fault?”

“Oh, no. You didn’t do anything wrong. good job.”

But Yangdari seemed to be paying a lot of attention, with a face that


looked as if he would ignore the scene of the affair. I don’t think he
has any interest in other people’s affairs, but he even sent me a DM
to let me know…. It was unexpected.

“… What on earth does my brother think of me?”

“huh?”
“… Why do you keep telling me this is surprising?”

From earlier?

Have you ever said something like this before? Yeowoon tilted his
head as if he couldn’t remember anything at all. The black eyes
twinkled as the cafe sign lights flickered. Would I be mistaken if I
said that Yoon Ji-gu’s expression somehow seemed to show a hint
of regret?

“if.”

Yun Ji-gu, who had been tapping his toe on the floor, raised his hand
and touched his reddened earlobe. He hinted and raised his head
and looked at Yeo-woon.

“If my personality is very different from what you know. … Then isn’t
it a bit bad?”

“…?”

Ji-gu Yoon even had his face set as if he was very nervous. Not only
was it difficult to predict what kind of answer he wanted to hear, but I
also wondered why he was suddenly like this. However, it seems like
he has big concerns of his own, so Yeowoon rolls his eyes and is
lost in his own worries.

“I am….”

“….”
“I don’t think it would matter?”

“What does it mean?”

Yeo-woon chose and re-selected words in his head for the sensitive
Yoon Ji-gu. Meanwhile, Yoon Ji-gu, who had become nervous,
grabbed Yeo-woon’s shoulder and shook her gently, saying, “Don’t
tell me back. What are you talking about?” And he asked for an
answer.

“I’ve only known you for a short time, so it’s natural that I feel
surprised every time I see something I don’t know.”

“… Is this a compliment?”

I guess I didn’t understand.

“therefore…. You actually talk a lot and your personality may be


different from what I know. But that doesn’t mean that what I see
now isn’t real. Are you acting now?”

“no.”

“So it doesn’t matter.”

The man next door may still be shy towards me. However, just
because time passes and her shyness disappears, it does not mean
that Yoon Ji-gu suddenly becomes Lee Yeo-woon. I don’t know if this
is the answer Jigu Yoon was hoping for, but that’s what I think.
“Because you are both.”

“….”

Even though he didn’t say anything surprising, his pitch-black eyes


widened. The two people’s gazes became intertwined in the air. A
hot summer night. Every time the cafe door opened, rhythmic jazz
music lingered in my ears.

Ji-gu Yoon played with his red ears for a while longer before slightly
averting his gaze.

“…all right.”

“Yes.”

“Oh, I just found out, so don’t take it too seriously. Okay.”

“…?”

There’s nothing I can really take seriously…. Yeowoon pursed his


lips and just smiled and nodded.
#05.
Lee Yeowoon

One day, an intruder suddenly fell in front of me.

“…it’s nothing.”

The man muttered. His face looks a little frightened, even though it’s
nothing. He takes a step back. As the wind blew, the sound of
leaves rubbing against each other came pouring out. There was a
faint scent of spring in the wind. At the same time, the man’s auburn
hair also makes a rustling sound and flutters on his forehead.

“I wanted to ask for directions.”

The round, drooping eyes curved into a graceful curve. An awkward


laugh, as if trying to avoid the situation.

I stared at the man for a long time. It was a blurry impression, but it
was strange that it subtly caught my eye. The brown eyes were
suddenly filled with light and sparkled powerfully. It’s clearly a gentle
face, but you can feel an unknown madness in its eyes. It was
obvious that he was scared when he saw my face, but for some
reason, he didn’t even avoid his eyes.

“….”
No, why do you keep looking at me?

My heart, which had shrunk from surprise, began to beat vigorously


again, revealing a clear sense of discomfort. The one who avoids
eye contact first loses. Ji-gu Yoon tightened his brows and clenched
his fists in order not to show that he was a little scared.

“It’s not this alley. Follow me.”

My first impression of him was…It was the worst.

***

July 9th, a summer day with fresh greenery.

“Our Earth has a very impatient personality. My baby, did you want
to see your dad’s face quickly? …Yoon Ji-ho, don’t run!”

Yun Ji-gu, who was born a week earlier than expected, had a difficult
life. His blood type is A and he is the youngest of three brothers.
Because of the considerable age difference, his older brothers knew
their younger brother very well.

He was like his brothers’ subordinate. All kinds of errands are basic.
Ever since I was a child, on Parents’ Day, I had to wear a large fake
carnation made of weird non-woven fabric around my neck to
become a human wreath, and it was essential to train my mutt to
throw a ball and tell him to pick it up. Even though they were so full
that they would die, they forced food into their mouths in the name
of growing taller. Those devilish bastards. They put Yoon Ji-gu up
high and never let him down until he cried. Yun Ji-gu pledged
revenge more than a thousand times.

And at his elementary school graduation, after being called ‘baby’ in


front of his friends and being teased throughout, he decided to close
his heart by pretending to be hurt by those who were his older
brothers. And when he woke up one night, he completely forgot
about the mind-closing operation.

‘Fuck…. Fuck, fuck! ‘I should have been born in a different house!’

In a way, it is natural that a normal personality begins to change.


From the time Yun Ji-gu started walking, he often avoided his older
brothers. The more the crazy brothers became obsessed with Yun
Ji-gu, picking on him and tormenting him.

Thanks to the family’s financial circumstances, his parents did not


pay much attention to Yun Ji-gu’s studies. If you bring me a report
card that is easily in the middle of the rankings without having to go
to any academy, I’ll say, ‘That’s enough.’ He shrugged his shoulders.
Yun Ji-gu was able to live a very free life, playing when he wanted to
and eating when he wanted to.

‘Hey, Yoon Ji-gu! ‘Are you good at math?’

‘…?’
‘Why don’t we make a bet? After the test tomorrow, how about the
person with the higher math score decide to confess first? …’I’m not
going home, I’ll wait.’

The day before the first midterm exam of the first year of middle
school, a new student’s bold confession. She was a female student
who looked good with short hair.

Well, well, that is. I’m asking you to look at me now and confess to
me tomorrow.

…no!

But who is he? And why am I confessing?

Well, if you want to do that, you have to do it. Oh really. why me!

My thoughts were jumbled and tangled in my head. Yun Ji-gu’s mind


turned blank at the confession he received for the first time in his
life, and he spent the night with his eyes open. Maybe that’s why I
couldn’t solve a single problem during exam time because I was so
relaxed and slept so well.

-Yoon Ji-gu, 1st grade, class 2, number 22, please come down to
the teacher’s office.

I woke up to the bell announcing the end of the test, and I barely
wrote down my class number and name, so of course the results
were the worst. After getting scolded for why I submitted a blank
answer sheet, I went back to class and found out that the rumor had
spread. The female student who was the cause of all this hesitantly
approached and asked.

‘Earth…Why were you called? ‘How many points?’

‘uh? ‘Bread shop.’

‘…really? ‘You didn’t want to confess to me that much?’

‘uh?’

Yun Ji-gu, who was still half asleep, closed his eyes.

‘Fuck, that’s enough. It’s so fucking embarrassing. If you talk to me


starting tomorrow, you will die.’

‘…what?’

‘Oh, fuck off!’

no…Who are you?

He suffered his first heartbreak from a girl he didn’t like or even


know existed. His parents were called to the school for counseling
due to his rapidly declining grades, and Yoon Ji-gu had become quite
a celebrity in his grade.
The guy who dumped a transfer student. The bastard who even
brought in his parents by handing out a blank answer sheet. But
actually, the reason my parents were called wasn’t just because of
my grades. Hey, these guys are gangsters? I saw him when I picked
him up in 5th grade and he was so fucking big.

The rumors that were left unattended grew and took on a strange
deterioration. Ji-gu Yoon belatedly claimed his innocence and
screamed, and even tried to assert his innocence by slamming the
classroom window with a broom in anger, but the more he did, the
more the rumors grew and were even distorted. No one believed
him.

Exactly one year later, Yun Ji-gu has become a child of darkness
that no one can touch. The only people crowding around him are a
few people who are rumored to be having a lot of fun after giving up
studying for a long time. School life was dark.

‘When I go to high school, I have to make new, normal friends.’

Ji-gu Yoon was delighted when he received his high school


assignment card, which was one of only ten students in the entire
school. However, that mindset went to waste on the first day due to
a rumor spread by some guy. From the first day of the new
semester, my classmates all started to notice me.

‘My life is ruined!’

Ji-gu Yoon, who failed in his project to make new friends, gave up
his studies and began to live as he pleased. His parents, who were
finally starting to worry about his grades, showed off the tutor he had
assigned and stayed up late at night to play. Like inviting a friend
from another school who I’ve known since elementary school and
suddenly leaving to see the sea in Incheon.

Even if I did go to school, I did not have a normal school life. As


soon as period 0 was over, I opened the rooftop door and went in,
burned textbooks with my friends, played with fire, and called my
parents. On days when lunch wasn’t tasty, I confidently walked out
the back door, ate out, and came back in. Even though I overslept, I
slept a little longer and leisurely went to school around lunchtime.

‘Is that kid coming to school to eat? ‘Thank you for looking down on
my grades.’

‘I can hear everything, fuck. Come up front and say it.’

‘I’m sorry!’

‘Why do you do something you feel sorry for? Come and tell me.’

‘Hey, hey, sit down. That bastard is going to cry.’

Because of such actions, Yoon Ji-gu was unable to escape the


strong rumors and images surrounding him. Because of my already
solid image, I was unable to make friends other than my existing
friends.

But I also wanted to make new friends. A true friend, not a guy who
gets tricked just by looking at appearances.
Around that time, Jigu Yoon started playing RPG games, which were
popular among children his age. I wondered what this was and why
everyone went crazy as soon as it was launched. It was only a
matter of time before I fell in love with the game I started playing.

Since they did not know my face or the rumors, they accepted Yoon
Ji-gu the way he acted. When I do something unreasonable, he
calmly curses me, and when I tell him about something that
happened at school, he smiles.

Is that why? Ji-gu Yoon created a character with a personality


completely opposite to mine and hid behind it to satisfy his
loneliness. To some extent, this may be what he hopes to become.

He created a cute character that was the complete opposite of his


gloomy appearance, and started making new friends by reflecting
the side of himself that he couldn’t show at school.

As a result, my grades were at the bottom. Of course, there was no


university on this planet that I could go to with these grades. I didn’t
even have any intention of going…. However, my parents, who
believed that their child must graduate from college, made a
suggestion to Ji-gu Yoon.

‘Anywhere is fine, son. If you get into any 4-year college, Mom and
Dad will buy you a car too. You were jealous that only your older
brothers bought you cars. huh?’

‘What if I ask you to buy a five-ton truck?’

‘If you go to college, I’ll buy you a truck!’


‘Okay, no need for a truck.’

It was a very tempting offer for Ji-gu Yoon, who had only plans such
as ‘becoming an adult and getting a driver’s license’ or ‘driving to
Busan alone’. It was something I had never done before in my life,
so no matter how many times I hired a private tutor, there was no
great solution. However, I guess it was because I prayed well that
day or because my ancestors possessed me, but I ended up ace
the CSAT.

Ji-gu Yoon, student’s mother

Sir, thank you very much. Thanks to the teacher’s hard work…(see
more)

‘….’

I didn’t do anything? Ji-gu Yoon’s tutor received a huge incentive in


return for his success on the college entrance exam, and his
conscience was pricked, and he suffered from guilt for a while.

So I suddenly got into college. Ji-gu Yoon was able to get into
Daehan University, a well-known university, after missing school,
getting into an accident, and playing games all the time, but he didn’t
get the car he was promised.

It was the first time in my life I had been scammed by my parents.


***

For Yun Ji-gu, college was truly a new world. Even if I skipped
school or events without permission, I didn’t get a call from my
parents.

What impressed me more than anything was the amount of time


everyone awkwardly spoke in unison. Even though no one spoke to
me first, my heart was filled with pride because it had been so long
since the awkward atmosphere of the new semester began.

I made a friend. Although he didn’t particularly approach first, his


surroundings were always full of people who saw his appearance
and approached him. However, when I opened my mouth, they gave
me a strange look, as if they were a little awakened.

Yun Ji-gu, who didn’t want to ruin his new opportunity, spent the
semester keeping his mouth shut as much as possible, and perhaps
because of that, whenever his classmates ran into him, they would
sneakily say hello to him, joking, “Get out of school!” It was proof
that he was no longer afraid of himself.

Even though I didn’t receive the car I was promised, it didn’t matter.
After class, it wasn’t so bad to take the subway with friends who
were headed in the same direction home. His college life, which he
thought would be smooth, soon became overshadowed by dark
clouds.

‘…?’
I saw a man walking arm in arm with a woman a long way in front of
me. He was the boyfriend of a female senior who gave me a ride on
the bus during a group project in liberal arts in the first semester of
my freshman year. However, the senior had short hair, and the
person walking with the man had her hair down to her wing bone
swept over her left shoulder.

Could a person’s hair grow that long in just one day? Ji-gu Yoon
went to his senior’s account and sent a message, just in case he
wanted to ask. Sure enough, a photo of me and my boyfriend from
yesterday was posted on the feed. It became even more unclear.

“Sister, did you break up with your boyfriend?”

「krystal_xoxo: Huh? Why is that suddenly…?ㅜㅜ I’m a little


embarrassed, Earth ㅜㅜ」

What are you talking about?

“Did you break up?”

「krystal_xoxo: No, not yet….」

「krystal_xoxo: But why is that? Haha」

“(picture)”

「krystal_xoxo: ?」
The photo was a silhouette of two people walking together. A man
puts his hat on a woman and pushes her head down as if she’s cute.
As the red sun was setting beyond the forest of buildings and there
was a soft sunset, the photo made everyone look like they were
lovers. For a while, the senior was silent.

「krystal_xoxo: Hahahahahaha I bought you that hat.」

Senior Soojung just kept laughing, saying, ‘Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk’.


Even though it’s not funny.

「krystal_xoxo: Thank you. Can I use that photo?」

What if things get bigger? Yun Ji-gu wondered if he had said


something pointless, but then he got scared and added another
word.

“I hope you don’t say that’s what I saw….」

The man was a student council officer. Moreover, there are many
seniors and juniors I know, so if the story gets out by mistake, only I
will be in big trouble.

「krystal_xoxo: ㅇㅇ I’ll buy you food later~ Study hard for finals and
contact me if you need genealogy ^^」

I’m glad it was helpful.

When the final exams were over, Ji-gu Yoon heard that the senior
and the man had broken up. The man dated two women at the
same time and borrowed hundreds of dollars from them. In addition,
the university community was shocked when it was revealed that he
had gone on a trip with an unfaithful woman using money borrowed
from a senior, and that he had even approached her as if he did not
have a girlfriend.

In addition, according to the information reported by the man’s


college classmate, he was a habitual criminal who deliberately
approached wealthy women and extorted gifts and money. There
were stories going around that it was trash to begin with, or that my
girlfriends helped me a lot because I didn’t have money at home.
The incident spread to the larger community through pseudo-media,
and the man’s student number, name, and even photo were
distributed and he was criticized nationwide.

Jihee Lee

Hello Ji-gu, I’m Ji-hee, who was in the same group at Shinhwanhoe~
The exam started, but you didn’t show up, so the professor is
looking for you?

I didn’t study

Jihee Lee

But you don’t take the final?

I’m sleepy. I need to sleep.


The person who took the photo that started all of this was not
particularly interested.

Ji-gu Yoon, who had not even checked his report card that showed
all F’s, found out about his grades in the department’s group chat
room.

K.J.G.

(picture)

Yuhwan

Eh

It was a photo of Yun Ji-gu’s semester grades printed beautifully and


attached to the wall of the humanities building and the railing of the
external stairs going up to the fourth floor. The number of people in
the group chat room reached 100 people. The number next to the
speech bubble gradually decreased, but no one responded.

Yuhwan

Isn’t it because of attendance? LOL

“Jigu Yoon has left the chat room.”


Ji-gu Yoon came out of the chat room in a huff, even deleted his
messenger ID and was locked at home. An academic warning letter
and report card were sent home. Luckily, even after I got my hands
on the first mail and burned it, more than twenty pieces of mail
continued to arrive intermittently. Calling the school to complain was
of no use. The only response I received was that there was no way
multiple transcripts were sent out on purpose.

On the day when her grades were revealed to her family, Ji-gu Yoon
lost all of her mother’s credit cards that she had been using well. I
was already annoyed, but I was even more shocked when my card
was taken away. I fought back out of a sense of pointless rebellion,
but I couldn’t even get my money’s worth.

And the persistent harassment continued for several months.


Unidentified groups came to SNS and relayed insults mixed with
abusive language, and the ID even spread to the illusion bulletin
board, with comments such as, ‘You steal a picture of a hack
bastard haha.’

After I closed my account, someone this time painted graffiti in front


of my house with red paint and ran away. Even my brothers, who
cutely laughed off the repeated report card sending phenomenon,
reacted seriously to the paint attack in front of their house.

The family thought that Ji-gu Yoon had a bad stalker. When asked if
anything came to mind, Ji-gu Yoon shook his head awkwardly. I
didn’t know who it was, and I didn’t know how it happened. Perhaps
because I even changed my number, I lost contact with all my
college classmates.
He ran away to the military and when he came back, he thought
things had gotten better, but another strange person appeared in his
life.

***

More than a year has passed. Although no one sent report cards to
my home address anymore, the story was a little different when I
returned to the game.

[Whispering] How does it feel to use nuclear weapons?:


Hahahahahaha I heard you were discharged from the military in the
spring?

[Whisper] How does it feel to use nuclear weapons?: Why are you
alive? If I were like you, I would have eaten pesticide.

[Whisper] ㅈi9 Byul: Yes, eat like that~ It will melt your skin.

[Whisper] ㅈi9 Byul: But why are you so interested in me?

[Whispering] Gi9Star: Who are you? I know?

‘I can’t send you any more whispers. This character has withdrawn.’
[All] ㅈi9 stars: ㅅㅂ

[All] Hamster: ?Why do you swear at the first meeting?

[All] ㅈi9Star: Not you

[All] Hamster: ㅇㅋ;;

The number of people who criticize characters with strange


nicknames and swear at them in whispers has increased. In
addition, strange people began to join the Poseidon guild he was in.
The situation was exactly the same as before I went to the military.
After participating in the guild group chat room, they repeatedly
committed nuclear weapons and were forced to leave, and the more
they did this, the more exhausted the guild members became. Ji-gu
Yoon took notice and confessed his feelings in the guild chat.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Should I just leave?ㅠㅠ…

[Guild] Cat Cat Me Cat: ? ㅇㅇAs you like

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Who are you?

[Guild] Halloween branch: ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ . I’m


embarrassed because I can’t get the answer I want haha.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Cat, I just joined so I don’t know what’s going
on ㅜㅜ Earth star, let’s be patient.
[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Please be careful, cat;;

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Yes!

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: But I really didn’t use hacks, so I don’t know why
they’re doing that.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Earth Star, don’t dig for no reason again.
Why is this your fault?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: I heard it wasn’t like this when I wasn’t around…ㅠ0


ㅠ But if you see that it’s been like this ever since I started playing
that game, I guess it’s because of me….ㅠㅠ

[Guild] al0ha: It’s like that again

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Interest cycle time for each district has
begun!

[Guild] Halloween branch: Looks like the cooldown is over lol

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Even if I whine now, it’s just like the
game itself lol.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: What does withdrawal mean…Don’t think


too much and just do the overdue quests; If you don’t max out the
legendary skill now, it’s just level 1.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅋ.


[Guild] al0ha: What is it? I brought some miscellaneous items to
comfort you, but where did they disappear?

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: I went to do the legend quest.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: I just left the guild hall and passed in front of
me.

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug-rae: Hahahaha, he recovers quickly;

The guild members took Yun Ji-gu’s whining without much notice.
So, I felt less uncomfortable.

One day, a few months later, I met that person.

[Party] neutaaaa: I reached level 50 in one day, that’s cool.

The same pattern as the guy who came in before and ruined the
guild atmosphere. I was keen.

[Party] neutaaaa: Level Nego doesn’t work hahaha

And upgraded bullshit. I was curious as to where they came from


and why they take turns in such an organized manner.

“These bastards are real. What did I do so wrong!”


Ji-gu Yoon could not hold back any longer and poured out his
frustration on English Nick.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Do you like me?

[Server] ㅈi9 Star: 3ch >neutaaaa< Whoever gets the fastest kill
wins 100 million

Try it too. How much unwanted attention sucks.

He followed around and persistently harassed an English nick he


had never seen, resulting in a catastrophe that resulted in his guild
rank being lowered. Captain Poseidon scolded Ji-gu Yoon, saying
that no matter how sensitive he is these days, he shouldn’t behave
like this to someone who came to join the guild on his first meeting.

Well, what do you need to know?

[All] neutaaaa: Why are you doing this to me…?

It’s funny how embarrassed you are.

[Whisper] Captain Poseidon: Earth star, wait a minute.

In fact, Captain Poseidon’s words did not sound nice. They’re being
mean to me, so why can’t I just return it to them?

[All] ㅈi9 Star: Because Gilma showed his sincerity in front of


everyone
[All] Captain Poseidon: ?

[All] ㅈi9 Byul: I want to show you my sincerity ♡

If you give it back, I’ll stick close to you and make you quit the
game. Or find out who is behind it. Ji-gu Yoon made a thorough plan
in his head and became a couple with Yeong-ri Nick. To be honest, I
thought I would get rejected about 10 times before leaving the
game, but I was a bit surprised to find that they surprisingly easily
accepted my couple application.

Do you surprisingly enjoy being bullied? I think I heard that such


cannibalistic perverts exist in the world.

‘You have rejected my friend request.’

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: This is really absurdㄱ- I gave you a buff and I’ll
give you a bad one too.

[Couple] neutaaaa: What to do

“I won’t leave you alone, really.”

Ji-gu Yoon glared at the character of ‘neutaaaa’, who accepted other


guild members as friends but did not accept his friend requests until
the end, and firmly resolved to get revenge.

However, it was true that we became attached to each other as we


happened to go hunting together and rescued foolish wanderers who
didn’t know their compatibility with monsters. I will definitely get
revenge someday! …What I thought gradually disappeared, and I
came to the conclusion that I had misunderstood Newta. He was just
an idiot who knew nothing about the mechanics of the game. But I
wasn’t that sorry.

So I raised your level a lot, right?

It was a misunderstanding back then. So it’s not my fault.

***

I met a strange man near my house. As soon as I saw it, I felt


discomfort creeping up my skin. Although he looked fine, his eyes
were so bright that it was scary. Just dealing with the real people
who come to my mom’s cafe was annoying, and I couldn’t figure out
why so many strange people appeared in my life.

After some time, the man appeared in front of me again on his own.

‘You were feeding the cat in front of me last time, right?’

Why do you pretend to know?

‘I guess you don’t remember me.’


A face that looks regretful. I don’t know what was disappointing, it
was just unpleasant.

I remember. of course. It hasn’t been that long, but do you think


people are idiots? There’s no way you wouldn’t remember a rude
person who suddenly startled someone behind their back.

But Yun Ji-gu’s expression hardened and he shook his head. And
proudly, ‘The receipt for your order has arrived!’ And I ended up
talking nonsense. I heard a sound of laughter coming from next to
me. Heat rose to my face, and I hated the man even more. Why are
people like this always in my life? I thought that I would never have
to see him again in the future.

However, heaven never properly granted Yun Ji-gu’s wish. Strangely,


I found myself tangled up with that man too often.

Ji-gu Yoon, who had recently scolded the guys who were attached to
Newta, whom he had started taking care of, ran into a man standing
next to his seat as soon as he woke up.

“….”

“….”

As soon as he saw himself, he gently blinked his droopy eyes and


raised the corners of his mouth faintly. The eyes sparkled.

‘Fuck!’
I got goosebumps for a moment. It was clear that he was crazy.
How do we all meet in the PC room? Did you follow me? He came
down in a huff and deliberately waited for the man.

“go.”

“yes?”

“Go first.”

The man looked at me as if he couldn’t help but licked his lips, then
trudged across the crosswalk. Why do you have a bad appetite
again? He was such a strange person that I got goosebumps every
time I saw him.

‘…But do you live around here?’

Then I hope you move out. Ji-gu Yoon entered the supermarket with
a frown on his face and came out calculating the lemons that would
be used as ingredients for ade and lemon madeleines.

As I was trudging down the deserted street, I felt something familiar.


Rather than looking at his phone, Jigu Yoon turned his head stiffly
and looked back.

“…!”

I confirmed that he was clearly walking across the crosswalk. But


now the man was following me from behind as if he was stalking me.
This was clearly intentional. It couldn’t have been intentional! I
couldn’t even remember what spirit I had running all the way home.
As soon as he closed the front door, he sighed and sat down.

[How to report a stalker to the police]

[Police dispatch time]

[Stalker’s imprisonment for several years]

[Same-sex stalking]

[How to ask for CCTV in PC room]

[What if they say they won’t provide CCTV?]

Yun Ji-gu, who was squatting in front of the front door and searching
various search terms, suddenly held his breath at a thought that
crossed his mind.

“…This bastard….”

I wondered if he was the person who had been persistently


harassing me for over a year. No, I was sure. As I remembered the
man’s calm face, I felt relieved. He’s shorter and bigger than me,
and looks as if he’s only studied hard, but he’s doing such a cruel
thing. To be honest, it didn’t seem like it would be worth a single bite.

Then the doorbell rang. As soon as I opened the door without


thinking about it, a crazy guy stood in front of me and grinned at me.
He didn’t even have a blank expression, he just smiled at me! My
legs felt weak again.

“… Is that you?”

“yes?”

“You’re the one who sent my report card to my house, right? Ha,
because of that, I got scolded by my mom and all my cards were
taken away, right? Really annoying. How did you get my transcript
and how did you know my address? “Do you really go to the same
school as me?”

It was my habit to blurt out everything I was thinking when I was


embarrassed. I also hated this habit. While I was talking, I felt like
this wasn’t right, but I didn’t show it outwardly. So the man will have
no idea that he is embarrassed.

“… I moved in next door.”

“what?”

“Room 902. I just moved in.”

He said, rolling a few lemons in front of Yun Ji-gu.

Nonsense. Yoon Ji-gu, who tried hard to prevent his mouth from
opening, pretended to be Taeyeon. It was definitely noisy in the
morning, so I deliberately went to the PC room to play games. Next
door, some men were shouting, ‘Master! I muttered things like, ‘Oh
my gosh, it’s so hard!’ I thought to myself, “What are these perverts
doing with the door open?”

It was none of my business to know that my neighbor was a pervert,


but if that pervert neighbor was following me around, there was a
problem. All my attention was focused on the pervert who had
moved in next door. The work didn’t end there. Oh my god, that
perverted bastard followed me all the way to the swimming pool!

The vicious pervert even raised his hand and pretended to know
when he saw him. Why was he waiting for me in front of the
swimming pool? Hundreds of thoughts passed through my head. If
the pervert next door is the same bastard who has been harassing
him for over a year, why is he revealing his identity now? And how
did you know me? Did you find out about me going to this swimming
pool by following me? Oh my, I’m following you. Whatever it was, it
was truly scary.

Ji-gu Yoon ran home without stopping to avoid the pervert. However,
the pervert seemed to have guessed ahead of me and was waiting
for me in front of my house on a bus. Although there was a security
device installed in the hallway, I blocked my view with my whole body
and pressed the door lock code just in case, when the pervert
suddenly touched me!

“what?”

Yun Ji-gu spoke in an adult manner and looked back. Then the
pervert looked at me with shiny eyes and made an excuse.

“Do you like sweets? It’s a macaron, so go in and eat it. Strawberry
flavor.”
Sweets are not a sin.

“That’s all I have right now. I bought it from a good place.”

There is no sin in delicious snacks.

“And if there’s no reason to like it, you can just make it. Isn’t that
right?”

“…!”

And that pervert declared war on me! I’ll give you a reason to like it.

A reason to like it? Do you think I like perverts? That can’t happen
unless you get shot in the head.

The pervert next door was truly evil. How dare you confidently
confess to me who is expressing your dislike with every fiber of your
being…. How do I move that thing back? Ji-gu Yoon glared at the
man who didn’t look like he would fall off easily for a long time, then
pretended to be calm and entered the house. My mind was filled
with the face of the man next door, so I had no time to think about
anything else.

“…Oh, I don’t know!”

Even if I thought about it alone, I couldn’t find an answer. Ji-gu Yoon


eventually confessed his concerns to his gaming friends.
[Party] ㅈi9Star: Where should I start talking….

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: What on earth is going on like that lol

[Party] ㅈi9Star: To conclude, I received a confession from my


neighbor today….

[Party] neutaaaa: ?

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Are you bragging about it;;

The reaction was quite lukewarm. This is not bragging. It was clear
that everyone was doing this because they didn’t know that the
person next door was a pervert. It’s a serious situation. This meant
that it was not something that could be passed off like a joke. Ji-gu
Yoon tried his best to persuade them to take his side.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: There are people who call the person next door
“master”

[Party] ㅈi9Star: I have two slaves

Now everyone knows. my situation.

[Party] Halloween branch: 3P slave play hahahaha

If you go out on Halloween and don’t make people angry, just go out.
[Party] neutaaaa: Did you see it in person??

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I heard your voice because I left the front door
open.

Anyway, the only person who listened to my story seriously was


Newta. It was rewarding to raise a poor person who had nothing. Ji-
gu Yoon whined to Newta and told him about the atrocities of the
person next door. I felt like I could calm down by sharing my
concerns with someone.

[Party] neutaaaa: What did he say when he confessed?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: What did you say?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: He basically said he would make me like him….

It was truly horrifying. If you’re going to like it, either you should like
it yourself, or I didn’t understand why you were trying to involve me
as well. How good would it be if you could show others how sinister
the expression on the man’s face when he said those words was?

[Party] neutaaaa: I don’t think I really like it

[Party] neutaaaa: Isn’t this something you’re trying to tame and play
with?

“…!”
[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Pet Planet ♥

I got goosebumps. It seemed like Newta was right. He became the


new target of the pervert next door.

[Party] neutaaaa: But they say a pervert gets more excited if he


reacts violently.

Newta even gave realistic advice, unlike the bad Halloween eggplant
that just tried to laugh at the situation. That made sense. From
tomorrow onwards, you will never react to perverted words. Ji-gu
Yoon made a firm determination and fell asleep with a peaceful
mind.

***

The pervert followed me to the swimming pool. When I saw his face
in the swimming pool, I felt my heart drop to my feet. It was clear
that he was talking to the kids and trying to get information from
them. It is clear from the fact that he keeps glancing in this direction.

“….”

“….”
Every time I raise my head, I make eye contact with him. Absolutely
no feeding. Jigu Yoon muttered those words in his head and shook
his head.

At exactly the twenty-second time our eyes met, the pervert finally
approached me and tried to talk to me. …No, I thought he was
talking to me, but he was looking all over my body. Jigu Yoon
crossed his arms and glared at the man.

However, the man was not discouraged and suddenly asked me my


age and suggested that we go take a shower together.

‘Aren’t they trying to tame it and play with it?’

‘Pet Earth Star♥’

“…!”

I remembered what I heard yesterday and got goosebumps all over


my body. Even if you die, you must not show your body in front of a
pervert. If I did that, I might end up becoming a pet person. I hated
the thought of having to call that man master.

‘You just got dumped!’

It was around the time when Ji-gu Yoon was having a fight with the
pervert next door.

“What is it, bugunga?”


[Guild] Wandu Wanda: That’s not a bug, it’s a command that
appears when the other person breaks the couple haha.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Huh Munsol?

[Guild] neutaaaa: I woke up.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ….

It was shocking. Newta, who had always given him useful advice,
drew a line like a knife. He had kicked himself when he remembered
that they had told him to stay as a couple until the end of a certain
event. It’s just an in-game couple release. It wasn’t something to be
shocked since we weren’t really dating, but it was true that I felt sad
inside. He treated me so well and gave me many good items…I
thought we were only close to this point.

While the guild members were talking about the stalker who was
attached to Ji-gu Yoon, Newta, who had not said anything,
whispered to me.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Are you really okay?

For other guild members, they had a history of whining before, so


stalking became more of a topic of ridicule than concern, but it
seemed to be different for Newta. He had a delicacy that others did
not have. And this…It was an obvious concern. It was clear when I
asked him in a separate whisper.

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: I was right that I was worried haha.


[Whispering] neutaaaa: What would you do if you were worried?

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

You’re right to be worried! Yoon Ji-gu, who was in a very excited


mood, even attempted to have his first voice conversation with
Newta under the excuse of explaining the situation. Newta
obediently entered the voice channel without any resistance. Even
though he pretends not to like it, he does everything he asks!

-…hello?

A slightly cautious voice. Even though the sound quality was


degraded through a poor server, his voice had the power to put
people at ease. Even his voice was like Newta. However, even when
making phone calls, he was still as firm as a knife.

Ji-gu Yoon briefly told Newta about the past stalker incident. Nyuta
continued to show that he was listening by adding a hint to my
words. After all, he was worried about himself. For no reason, the
corners of my mouth were pulled up. I felt like I had a brother. It
already exists, anyway.

“Can I talk to you about my concerns sometimes?”

-yes.

Oh yea!

“Then can I call you brother?”


-no.

“….”

Although he was a bit too firm in this regard, it wasn’t a bad thing. Ji-
gu Yoon once again handed Newta a couple application, and Newta
swore.

-Do you really like me, Earth Star?

It was nonsense. Who likes who? Do you think I’m on the same level
as the pervert next door? Jigu Yoon snorted.

“yes? Am I crazy? It would be nice to get the couple effect. Do you


really think I would ask men to date each other? Unless you actually
get shot in the head…. I’m not gay? Absolutely not. Do you really
hate that guy? I was left behind and the number of absences at that
time was no joke. Would you like to see it? I don’t really talk to my
brother, right? “Is that guy really gay?”

I successfully made a logical statement. Nyuta was silent for a


moment, as if he had been persuaded by my words, and then let out
a light sigh. My heart sank at that faint sound.

-Oh, it’s okay. Do it with someone else! Because it’s disgusting to


see a heart symbol appear when the range overlaps when you’re far
away.

“Ha, I’m disgusted too, right? This is inevitable because of its


effectiveness…!”
Instead of responding to what he said, Yun Ji-gu kept his mouth
shut. I felt like the way I was making excuses was a bit lame.

After a while, guild members came and started making fun of the
person again. In an instant, Yoon Ji-gu became a regretful man who
caught Newta who kicked him. Everyone is excellent at making fun
of their mouths without knowing anything.

-…So what will you do if I accept your fellowship?

Although Nyuta seemed determined, he was surprisingly weak-


hearted. If you ask, he will do anything. Even though they became a
couple after sending 2 billion won in the mail, they were still able to
prevent the couple from breaking up.

I was excited. I felt like I had crossed the line that Newta had drawn
just a little bit.

***

On a rainy day, my umbrella broke, so I had to go home using an


umbrella with the pervert next door. I hated it so much, but it was
better than going back in the rain. He also arbitrarily stuffed food into
his pocket. First it was macaroons, last time it was candy, and today
it was candy again. He enjoyed conveying his feelings to me in this
way. It was really burdensome to receive a selfless gift.
The man next door was very talkative. His hobby was to just move
on to the next topic and mess around even if he didn’t answer in
particular. It was quite surprising that even though he was constantly
moving his mouth, I didn’t think he was noisy, perhaps because his
tone was calm.

Still, I was grateful that they gave me an umbrella. Jigu Yoon


brought out the madeleines he had roughly made in the morning
from the cafe and handed them to the man. When I added that I
didn’t make it in case he was mistaken, the man seemed to be
somewhat convinced.

And that evening, a strange coincidence occurred. During the voice


chat, I heard Newta mumbling something. When I joked about why
he was the only one eating, Newta answered with the sound of
rustling wrapping paper.

-I don’t know the name because I just received it. lemon…What kind
of bread did you say?

Lemon bread? Yun Ji-gu chuckled at those words, recalling the


madeleines he had made in the morning.

-You know that. Seashell-shaped yellow bread. …It’s not Soboru. It’s
neither a red bean bread nor a donut. What was your name?

“…Madeleine?”

-Ah yes! I said it was a lemon madeleine.


It was an exquisite coincidence.

“Who did you say you got it from?”

-yes. They said they would give it to me….

A strange thought crossed my mind for a moment, but the possibility


of that happening was zero. Newta has a different personality from
the pervert next door. Nyuta is a person who has clear and firm lines
that he draws. Although there was a soft corner to it that he would
usually grant everything that was asked of him, that was basically it.
Sometimes they ignore what I say.

But there was no such thing as perversion. Even if you just make
eye contact, he runs up to you and starts talking to you. The two
people could never be the same person.

“But New, is there someone you like?”

-Don’t say anything gross.

First of all, the attitude towards oneself is different. As I was


listening, I felt like the voices were somewhat similar, but I didn’t
really know the voice of the man next door that well. After all,
madeleines are sold at any bakery.

“No, I think your voice is a bit similar to someone I know.”

-Don’t say anything weird.


Nyuta was truly a sword-like person. I was fortunate that it wasn’t
just me, but why was it so difficult to get it right…. As he grumbled
and complained for no reason, he heard the other person’s
microphone being turned off, so Ji-gu Yoon had to beg Newta to turn
the microphone on again. Even though his level was lower than mine
and his clothes were really crappy. It was true that it was a bit unfair
that he was so good that he was charging such a high price.

***

Nyuta had a habit of mumbling to herself. No, it was a bit harsh.


Even if I didn’t speak during voice chat, I would mutter to myself
things like ‘Oh, what’s wrong with this option?’ or ‘What is that guy
doing?’ It was so funny to imagine that I muttered something like
that when I was playing a game alone the other day.

Although he wasn’t someone he had known longer than other guild


members, and he didn’t have anything special to do to become
friends with him, Jigu Yoon liked Newta’s personality. He was a good
person. I like all the members of the Poseidon guild, but it is true
that I care more about Newta, who responds seriously to my
concerns and looks like a beginner. Although it was a bit annoying to
wear an even stranger cape over the strange armor and helmet.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: How about giving up your cloak, Nyuta?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ;;;


[Guild] Poseidon Captain: I’m sorry….

Still, I like you…. He even muttered angrily when he saw guild


members pointing out his fashion, saying, “They say things you don’t
know are shit.” He didn’t know why, but he truly cared about the
cloak.

Last year, after the Little Forest Game broke out due to operational
problems, a large number of people came in to ruin the aesthetics of
the streets by wearing capes like that. Nyuta was also one of the
refugees in that game. However, unlike the cloaked people who
traveled in groups of at least three or four people, Newta tended to
travel alone. I hoped he would be able to adapt well to the guild.

Still, it seems that Newta was still worried about being told that she
looked like shit, so she finally decided to go into a makeup shop and
change her outfit. I heard him mumbling to himself in my ear as he
recited the name of the head again. When I heard the clicking sound
of the mouse, I thought, ‘Ah, what should I do?’ A mixture of voices
is heard. It felt funny to have my own worries.

-What should I do?

“Choose what you like.”

-I don’t really like it….

That couldn’t be possible, right? No matter what you do, it will be


better than now.
“Do you have a favorite style?”

Nyuta thought about what I said for a moment and then changed his
mind. A dazzling helmet was placed on his black hair, which was
scattered here and there. It wasn’t a flashy hairstyle, but it was a
decent style that many people used on the server. It was the same
with the eyes. Ji-gu Yoon was also satisfied with how he looked
much less like a beginner than before.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I’ll change my clothes too!

After saying that, Newta must have entered a fashion shop and
disappeared right before my eyes. And I heard him talking to himself
in my ears.

-Transparent hat, transparent…. Ah, here it is.

He even kindly told me one by one what to buy. If you leave me


alone, I’ll even sing a song. Yun Ji-gu held his breath and held back
laughter as he wanted to see how far it would go.

It was then.

-An announcement will be made from the management office. The


owner of the silver car, license plate number 6338….

“…?”

Even though I was wearing headphones, I heard a familiar car


number. It was an announcement that I had heard countless times.
Is the sound coming from my house? Yun Ji-gu took off his
headphones, but because the computer room had intentionally
installed a soundproof wall, he could not hear the announcement.

“….”

I put my ears to the headphones again. It was clearly a sound


coming from inside the headphones. …I guess not. Could it be that
there is only one silver car in this country with the same number?
Yun Ji-gu got up from his seat and opened the door.

-Once again, an announcement will be made from the management


office. Vehicle number 6338….

A voice similar to a mechanical sound came from the speaker. For a


moment, goosebumps appeared on my arms.

Where did you park your car?

mom

why. Do you want to take out the car again?

Really? In an instant, my mind turned completely white. Ji-gu Yoon


hurriedly left the voice channel and covered his mouth with his hand.
There are less than five men in their 20s and 30s living in this
building. For a moment, bright eyes overlap with the character of
Newta, who has completely transformed himself by changing his
clothes.
“…!”

Ahh! As soon as Newta jumped up, Yoon Ji-gu was so startled that
he pressed the power button to shut down the computer itself.

「neutaaaa: Why did you suddenly leave?」

“….”

What does it matter whether I go out or not! At that moment, I could


faintly hear the BGM of a horror movie overlapping in my head.
What are the odds that someone you meet by chance in a game
and is from the same guild is living in the same building? The
probability of being struck by lightning while walking down the street
and dying will be lower. Jigu Yoon swallowed his saliva and looked
into the chat room for a while.

***

In Ji-gu Yoon’s mind, the suspects were narrowed down to one. The
man who got off on the 3rd floor smoked too many cigarettes and
his voice was murky, and the man who lived on the 1st floor had a
very low voice. All that’s left is the pervert next door….

“….”
When I thought about it, it seemed like Newta and Pervert had a
similar way of speaking quietly. Could it be that that pervert is
following him even in the game? It was a long time ago, but there
was no harm in being careful about perversion. It wasn’t scary, it
was just dirty so I avoided it.

Ji-gu Yoon stopped going to the swimming pool, which he used to do


every day, and started to develop secondary characters on purpose.
In order to avoid the man who often snooped around to see me at
the cafe, I would deliberately pretend to clean up the warehouse and
make noises inside the cafe when he came.

“hello.”

“… How did you cook it?”

But somehow he persuaded my older brother to show up at the


cafe. As soon as I saw his bright smiling face, I felt sick to my
stomach.

If he is Newta himself, would he know that I am Earth? Did he know


this and approach you on purpose? What is the purpose? …To
make me a pet planet? Is that really it?

“It’s Lee Yeo-un.”

When all sorts of confusion was swirling in Ji-gu Yoon’s head, the
man spoke. The ends of my hair were slightly wet and clumped
together. It seemed like he was on his way back from the swimming
pool again today.
“It’s not hey, it’s Lee Yeowoon.”

“….”

“I know Mr. Ji-gu’s name. I was wondering if you might be curious


about my name.”

I wasn’t curious at all. It was true.

“I’m really free.”

“…!”

He was too active. It was normal for him to come up to me while I


was still and ask for my name or age, and we also made eye contact
too often. I felt so uncomfortable that my heart felt like it was
clogged. In my heart, I thought, ‘Do you know me?’ I wanted to ask,
but my lips were stiff and I couldn’t even speak properly. Even if he
didn’t know that he was a ‘Gi9 Star’, it seemed to be true to some
extent that he liked him. And Yun Ji-gu felt burdened by such a man.
Aside from being a man, he’s a pervert….

“Mr. Earth. Then you’re not in pain, are you?”

It was certain. It’s obvious that he cares so much about his health
even though he just lives next door. The man seemed to want to talk
to Yun Ji-gu, but he couldn’t. It would be a big deal if the man made
a mistake if he was given some leeway.

“I’m going swimming starting tomorrow, so don’t come to the cafe.”


Ji-gu Yoon resolutely rejected the man’s advances.

“yes? coffee…It’s delicious….”

“… Then just come once a week.”

He started acting pitiful. Anyway, this isn’t even my cafe, so I


thought I might have gone too far, so I corrected myself.

“twice. No more.”

“….”

Ah, why are you looking at me again? Is even twice too few?

“Oh, then just come three times.”

There was no answer as to whether he didn’t like it either. But Yoon


Ji-gu deliberately ignored the man’s gaze and turned around. There
were so many things I wanted to know. Is he really Newta, and does
he know that he is Earth? I probably couldn’t ask him directly, but I
thought I should create a situation where I could raise it secretly.

Yeowoon Lee. The man’s name was stuck in my mind and lingered
in my mind all day.
***

I got really bored while playing the game alone, so I joined a guild
using my alt ID. Newta found him and greeted him happily.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Earth Moon?

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: ?;;;

It seems like he was worried that he didn’t come in all this time. I
didn’t even say anything, but they already found out I joined the
guild…. But it was too early to talk to him because nothing was
certain yet. How can I figure it out? What should I do to be sure?

Today, as usual, time passed by just thinking about Nyuta and the
guy next door. At that time, I heard the doorbell ringing beyond the
slightly open door. The face snooping through the intercom belonged
to someone who was not very happy.

“I’m not buying it.”

I thought I should treat him like a petty merchant and kick him out,
but for some reason, he had his nephew, Young, with him. Only then
did Ji-gu Yoon remember that he had promised to take care of
Young-man, and brought Young-man Yoon into the house. But what
did he say to the child? Young burst into tears, chanting for the uncle
next door and hitting himself, who was his real uncle.
“… Please have lunch at my house.”

I had no choice but to invite the man next door. He didn’t refuse and
just grabbed his phone and followed me. I just sighed.

“Mr. Earth. Do you go to Daehan University?”

After having lunch together, the man was separated from the child
for a moment to put the spirit to sleep. Taking advantage of that
opportunity, the man continued to talk to me. I was a little surprised
when he asked about my university, but I was relieved when I
realized he was just looking at the paper left near the table.

-An announcement will be made from the management office. The


owner of the silver vehicle, license plate number 6338, is requested
to move the vehicle blocking the entrance to another location. Once
again at the management office….

At that time, the same broadcast as last week was played. Ji-gu
Yoon glanced at the man’s face without realizing it. The man listened
to the broadcast, thought for a moment, then grumbled and said.

“Who is it, really? Why do you always park like that? “Right?”

my mom

After calling to ask for the car to be removed, the man next door
was unusually restless. It felt like it was my first time seeing him so
embarrassed. Every time she looked at me, her eyes would shine,
and whenever we made eye contact, I would only see her smiling
face. I was a little flattered to see her so flustered and not knowing
what to do.

“….”

It seemed like there would be no chance if it wasn’t now. Ji-gu Yoon


entered the chat room with Newta and sent a message.

「ㅁㅔlongㅇㅠㅇ」

Immediately, a Whole Blue message arrival sound came from the


cell phone of the man next door.

“What is it, you bastard?”

When I heard that, I felt a strange sense of relief. He does not know
that he is Earth. Because there was no way I would swear openly to
someone’s face.

However, even though I said, ‘What is this, you bastard?’, there was
no reply right away. As I read it right away.

“Didn’t you just get a text message? “Why aren’t you replying?”

“I’ll do it later. It’s okay because he’s not that important.”

what?
“… Who is it?”

“I just found this person on the Internet.”

The man muttered with a shocked face. It was absurd. The person
who runs up to me and starts talking to me every time he sees me,
says I’m a ‘not very important person’? I was glad that he didn’t
know who I was, but somehow I was a little annoyed.

“Are you close with that person?”

“not really….”

“…Are you not close? why?”

“yes? just… I’m not close with you.”

He muttered with a face that asked why he was asking something so


obvious. I just burst out laughing. We’re not close. We’re not close?
Why do you go out with someone you’re not close with, and why do
you accept couple applications?

It felt like Newta’s character was superimposed on the face of the


man next door. Even though I personally confirmed that it was the
same person, a part of my heart felt uneasy. Is that person’s real
self and in-game self different? If I tell you that I am Earth, will you
look as embarrassed as before?

Of course, I wasn’t digging my own grave, and I had no intention of


letting anyone know about it.
***

I don’t know how many days it’s been like this already. Yun Ji-gu
decided to stop admitting it. I’m worried about Newta. I’m worried
about the guy next door! Except when he was sleeping, he thought
about the man next door all day and night.

I didn’t know it was because it was my first time meeting a friend I


met in a game in real life. The Poseidon Guild was a guild that
operated as an open chat room, let alone a guild meeting, and
without a profile picture. So, I couldn’t help but be surprised to see
Newta living and moving like a real person instead of a chunk of
graphics. The fact that he was a pervert was already an
afterthought. It’s not even the same neighborhood, it’s actually next
door. How could this be a coincidence?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Earth Star, if you filmed a video of the Isis battle
today, could you share it with me?

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: Why me?

[Guild] neutaaaa: I want to see why so many people die.

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: With bare mouth?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Would you like my cloak?


[Guild] ㅈi9dal: Even if I give it, it won’t go away;

[Guild] neutaaaa: Hmm….

I keep thinking about what Newta said last weekend. A person of


little importance. Someone I’m not very close with…That’s it. I was
annoyed that I kept intimacy to myself for no reason. So it was true
that I got grumpy for no reason.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Please, we are close.

“…?”

This is a bit different, right?

[Guild] i9dal: We…Are you close?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ?ㅇㅇ

[Guild] i9dal: How much…?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Damn

[Guild] Ji9dal: Don’t do that…Really how much??

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅈ~~~~~~~ㄴ

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Wow, you seem really close friends~


Strangely enough, Yun Ji-gu fell for that one word. Yes, maybe he
said he wasn’t close to ‘Earth Star’ because he wanted to be close
to me.

Yoon Ji-gu hesitated for a while and hesitated on his own, then
whispered a question asking if he could call Nyuta brother. Last time,
he said no firmly, but surprisingly he accepted right away. I have a
new brother.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Should we keep it a secret instead? Don’t


call me while guild members can hear…When we’re alone

It was a bonus that we had our own secret.

***

The man next door gave me clothes as a gift. It wasn’t even normal
clothes, it was a bathrobe…. Intentions are transparent. I couldn’t
control my expression for a moment, but I held it in.

“I bought it because it reminded me of Mr. Earth.”

“… What do I think?”

I had no choice but to put up with it.


“This… I will accept it.”

“yes.”

“…But that’s all.”

“yes?”

“Let me make it clear now. I don’t care what they like or what their
tastes are. …Is it real? Because it’s private… It doesn’t matter as
long as it doesn’t bother me.”

“yes….”

“But I can’t go any further than this. Do you understand?”

Even though he said it last time, he didn’t seem to understand it


properly, so Yoon Ji-gu once again drew a line at the man.

“we… We’re friends.”

“…?”

“Just friends. Let’s just sort it out there.”

I thought you understood.


“Then would you like to have a drink at my house to celebrate
becoming friends? “I think all you have to do is come physically.”

But it seemed like I didn’t understand.

Honestly, when I think about the past, the man gave me good food,
but since he didn’t come to the swimming pool, he snooped around
the cafe and worried about me. Aside from the fact that he’s a
pervert, he’s a great friend. I wish you would just give up on yourself.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Isn’t it a bit weird to drink alone? I was


so bored.

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋ So I asked the person next door, but


he said he didn’t like it.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Huh, drinking with the neighbor? Are you
close?

[Guild] ㅈi9dal: How far away haha I guess we’re close haha

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ We’re close.

I knew it. I knew that, but it still didn’t feel bad to hear the
confirmation of intimacy from one’s own mouth.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I’ve decorated my current character to resemble


the one next door.
[Guild] al0ha: ?

“…!”

I didn’t expect this. Only then did Newta’s outfit begin to come into
view. Black hair and sharp look. A figure wearing a strange cape
over a blue training suit….

“…Do they look alike?”

There is no way they look alike. Even though it looked like a


common game character, I felt strange when I realized that the
character’s motif was myself.

After that, every time I ran into a man, I remembered that he had
created a game character based on my appearance.

It was strange that he liked her that much.

It was strange that I could like someone that much.

Ji-gu Yoon began to pay more attention to Newta than before. When
I came to my senses, it was basic to find out where he was and go
next to him and make a fuss, and even when Newta told me to go
away because he was annoying, I pretended not to hear him.

Then, when he suddenly put strange armor on a character that


resembled me, I felt really strange. He took another spoonful and
even put a red ribbon on it. Do you want to do this with the person
you like? I couldn’t figure out why my fashion sense was so poor in
games, even though I was wearing my own clothes just fine. I
wanted to immediately knock on the door next door and force him to
change his clothes.

***

On my way to the swimming pool, I met the man next door. But
even after an hour, he did not appear in the swimming pool. I
thought you would stop by the house and come right away? Jigu
Yoon walked out to the locker room without realizing that he had
spent more time glancing at the beginner lane than swimming.

「neutaaaa: I can’t enter the game today.」

「neutaaaa: It hurts….」

“uh? “It hurts?”

I made a loud noise without realizing it. So you’re saying you’ve


been sick since we first met?

“You suddenly feel sick?”

“Where does it hurt?”


Newta was not the type of person to give quick answers.

“brother”

“brother?”

But I got nervous because I didn’t get a reply right away.

“where is it?”

When I thought of the man who was just a fist away from me, my
steps naturally became faster. Not thinking that Newta would be
puzzled if he checked later, Ji-gu Yoon ran ahead and rang the
doorbell next door. After a while, a man came out. My eyes were
half-closed. It didn’t look like it hurt this much before, but now the
area around his eyes and the back of his neck were bright red.
Moreover, he even stumbled as if it was difficult to even walk
properly. The body I suddenly grabbed was as hot as a fireball.

“Why, why are you like this?”

“cold.”

“A cold? “What about medicine?”

He thought about those words for a moment and then tilted his
head. He seemed completely unconscious due to the fever. Why did
Ji-gu Yoon come to my house? The man muttered. The moment he
turned around, his sweaty hair was flying in the air.
“brother!”

Ji-gu Yoon, who barely managed to support the falling man before
he hit his head on the floor, shouted without realizing it. Yeo-woon,
who had been wandering the whole time, lost consciousness and fell
asleep. He touched the man’s forehead and felt like he was going to
die if he left it like this. A thought crossed my mind that I was so
uncharacteristic of myself as I had no choice but to pick up the man
and carry him to my house.

When I gave medicine to a man who opened his eyes in a half-


asleep state, he muttered something incomprehensible and fell
asleep again. When the man woke up a while later, his fever had
gone down significantly. I didn’t want it to be known that I was
worried about him, so I spoke bluntly, but the man who was staring
at me with his unique clear eyes smiled faintly.

“Thank you, Mr. Earth.”

I felt strangely embarrassed. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard you
say thank you.

While I was wondering how to deal with this strange feeling, the man
next door made a bombshell remark. He said, well, he had my
report card. I guessed it wasn’t the case based on what he was
doing, but he wasn’t even the stalker who had been harassing Ji-gu
Yoon for over a year. However, the thought of my grades being
found out this semester made me want to die a little.

“But I’m not from there.”


“…yes?”

“When you came to my house earlier, you called me brother.”

I said that? Yun Ji-gu was confused because he really couldn’t


remember anything.

“If you don’t like my brother, you can call me ‘Mr. Yeowoon’.”

“…!”

My brother was better. Calling his name seemed too friendly. Not
just Yeo-woon Lee, but ‘Mr. Yeo-woon’. I could never call it that.

“…Well, then just be my older brother.”

Yeo-woon felt satisfied. Before, I wouldn’t have liked his smile, but
now I just thought it was nice to see.

“Then bro… You can leave it alone.”

“…?”

“He’s four years older than me… I feel a little uncomfortable too.”

“Really? “Leave me alone.”


He spoke as if he had been waiting. I didn’t feel bad. No, I thought it
was a little good. His voice, which was still weak due to the heat,
suddenly became lively.

“Oh, stop staring! Is it really something that will get noticed like this?
Embarrassing people….”

Yun Ji-gu was embarrassed for no reason and screamed.


Nevertheless, Yeowoon did not look away. As he was about to go
home, they forced him to lie down and sleep until morning. Yeowoon
answered that he would do so without any resistance.

Even as I was working on the muted laptop in front of him, I kept


feeling his gaze on my cheek. It was difficult. Don’t look at me. But
that doesn’t mean you can’t say anything to a sick person…. After
Yeowoon, who had been glancing at me for a while, fell asleep, I was
able to enjoy his face with peace of mind.

“… What is this?”

His facial features were delicate. Why didn’t I know this before?
Yeowoon let out one of his arms and let out a deep breath. Her light-
colored hair was tangled with sweat and stuck to her forehead. The
lingering feeling of falling asleep wasn’t bothersome, it was just
quiet. It felt strange to see him sleeping without saying a word. Yun
Ji-gu pulled the blanket that was half on the floor up to her shoulders
and turned off the auxiliary light that was softly lit on the nightstand.

***
I barely caught a summer cold and almost died, but I barely picked it
up and saved it, and Yeo-woon Lee fucked me up. I should have
recognized him from the moment he put strange clothes on a
character customized to resemble him, but in the end, he ended up
doing something during the final game of Siege.

‘Sunset has declared neutaaaa as the target!’

During the siege, the elementary school kid kept declaring Yeowoon
as the ticket and pouring attacks only on him. I don’t know what
they’re doing to someone who dies even if they leave them alone.
Above all….

[All] Queen of Spades: She doesn’t like the way you look.

[All] Queen of Spades: They say it looks the same.

[All] neutaaaa: Hmm?

Seonyul’s guild master saw Newta’s character and jeered, ‘Wooooh.’


I had a feeling of kinship with him because he was banned from
chatting with me, but to have it happen like this…. I wanted to do
well, but I was really sorry. I don’t know anything else, but criticizing
Newta’s appearance was like insulting me. They say that if you just
endure it, you will become a fanatic.

…No, are you really pissed? What’s wrong with me? That crazy guy
doesn’t know anything, so he says things like that. You think it looks
like shit? What happened? It was truly absurd.

losing?

‘Ji9star declared Sunset as the target!’

Ji-gu Yoon focused his attack on the guy, effectively starting a one-
on-one battle with Sunset rather than a siege. Yeo-woon also joined
in, but it didn’t help much.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: What are you three really doing?


Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha It’s just PVP.

[Guild] Kitty Cat: They seem to be fighting a different fight than us…

In fact, Newta’s appearance…That shit was true to some extent.


Every time Yeo-woon wandered around in front of her wearing a
strange outfit, Ji-gu Yoon got a headache. I was annoyed because I
couldn’t chat, and the sunset that kept killing the afterglow was
annoying, but more than anything, the afterglow was so frustrating.
If he had been resurrected, he would have quietly hid there, but he
rushed to help me and was killed by Sunset. That was no different
from suicide.

Also, do you want to keep making people you like die?

We won the siege, but Chat still couldn’t be defeated. Most of all, I
didn’t like the guy who was so distracted that he kept following
Yeowoon’s head and using booing emoticons. That guy needs
mental education.

When I applied to Sunset for a one-on-one PVP match, he accepted


my request for battle without hesitating even for a second. It
seemed like he wasn’t one to refuse a fight.

The first round was his victory. No matter how much equipment and
control we tried, it was the Moon Fairy. It was said that there was no
way a character that only gave buffs would be a match for the
dealer.

Ji-gu Yoon succeeded in killing Sunset three times in a row and used
a booing emoticon at the position where he was to be revived. Then,
a few seconds later, the revived Sunset giggled. Then he lifted his
index finger left and right in front of my nose and shook his head.
You are no good to me. It seemed like that was what they were
saying. This bastard has died at my hands several times and he still
hasn’t come to his senses.

Although Sunset and Yoon Ji-gu were both banned from chatting,
the keyboard battle could not take place, but there was no problem
communicating. The second game was a close loss. The third game
was also narrowly lost. After fighting for seven rounds in a row, I
started to get tired of it. This seems to be the same for Sunset, as in
the last edition, they completely left their hands and only used the
yawning emoticon.

After the fight, the only thing left on the map was the event NPC. Ji-
gu Yoon notified the result of the match to In-won, who was fighting
with Sunset.
“I won all but three games.”

I won four out of seven games. It was his victory. In its own way, it
can be said to be revenge for Newta’s humiliation, so Yeo-woon will
be happy.

「neutaaaa: Why did you fight?」

“… Aren’t you stupid?”

Why did you fight when you took revenge on yourself? Do I have to
tell you all of this in order to understand it?

“No, that guy says it’s not even the clothes, it’s just that he looks like
his character.”

“What happened hahaha”

「ㅡㅡ」

“They point out how good he is and how annoying he is;”

But in fact, it is true that I was more angry at the fact that my
appearance was pointed out than at revenge. I don’t know anything
else, but since I was born, I have never been pushed by someone
with my face. It was clear that Yeowoon fell in love at first sight as
soon as he saw me. So wouldn’t it be possible to customize the
game character to resemble yourself?
「neutaaaa: Why is that?」

However, Yeo-woon does not know that he is from Earth. So, there
is a difference in the attitude towards Yoon Ji-gu and Earth Star.

「neutaaaa: haha」

“…?”

He hadn’t said anything yet, but Yeowoon Lee suddenly laughed.

“Why are you smiling all of a sudden?”

「neutaaaa:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahaha cute

“What?”

「neutaaaa: Earth Star is so cute hahahahaha」

“uh?”

「ㅇㅇㅇㅇㅣ;me」

I lost my composure for a moment and made a typo. How cute. I?

「??????」
What are you talking about? I understood that he had to do
something cute, but I couldn’t understand why he suddenly called
me cute out of the blue. He didn’t use emoticons or put game
characters in front of him. Yeowoon was now in the guild room, and
Jigu Yoon was still on the event map. I wanted to ask what part of it
made me feel that way.

「Why are you doing this???」

I lost my temper for a moment and ended up making a typo


unintentionally. Why is he like this all of a sudden? There was no
doubt that he was up to something. You have to listen to the end to
learn Korean. Actually, it was a lie….

「neutaaaa: hahaha」

But instead of correcting Nyuta, he just laughed. He didn’t even


properly explain why he said something cute. The confusion only
worsened.

And there were side effects to that. As soon as I saw Yeo-woon at


the swimming pool on a weekday afternoon, I had an auditory
hallucination in my ear.

Because it’s cute.

Because it’s cute.

Earth Star is so cute….


“….”

No, not this one! I felt like I was possessed by something. Ji-gu
Yoon shook his head and submerged his head in water, performing
mind control. I blinked under the water and counted to ten.

one two….

‘But it’s been a while since I’ve seen you at the swimming pool….’

My body seems to have improved so much that I can swim now. I


was glad that my cold was gone. If someone dies next door, you feel
bad for no reason. As soon as I got it, I filmed the end of the lane,
and when I came back, all the random thoughts in my head
disappeared….

“…!”

Ahh! Jigu Yoon almost screamed.

As soon as I raised my head, I saw a lingering light in front of my


nose. I don’t know when I got this close. The look in my eyes from
when I first met still remained. The eyes were sparkling and filled
with only myself. …Why are you looking at me like that again? It was
a time when I felt burdened by him and was about to tell him to
please get away from me.

“Is it because of the face that stands out?”

“…?”
“He was really needlessly handsome….”

He gave me an explicit compliment right in front of my face. But I


wasn’t that embarrassed. Yeowoon’s self-talk is a daily occurrence.
It was a behavior that was repeated every time we ran into each
other at a cafe, so I’m used to it now.

I wasn’t really embarrassed. It was true.

“Why would you say something like that to someone’s face?”

Ji-gu Yoon scolded Yeo-woon for his careless words and actions and
calmly nailed her once again.

“Thank you for the compliment. I feel burdened by things like this.”

“yes?”

“I told you this before. Let’s just be friends.”

If you’ve said this much, please understand!

“huh? i know. Can’t I tell my friends that I’m handsome?”

“….”

But the afterglow was a powerful enemy. No matter what I say, they
don’t listen and don’t think about it. This is another very difficult
problem. How can I get him to give up?

“I was just saying it to myself, but I said it without realizing it, so


don’t worry about it.”

“….”

I know that talking to myself is a habit. But how could you not care?
It’s not like I’m saying anything else, but I’m so handsome that I
stand out.

“But why are you being polite….”

I thought I had forgotten what I had decided to say, so Yoon Ji-gu


kindly reminded me of that fact. Yeo-woon seemed to have realized
only then, as if he remembered something.

“Since when did you start swimming?”

He spoke right away. And somehow, that attitude felt so masterful


that it felt strange.

“… You’re so natural.”

“what?”

“Do you not know or are you just pretending?”


It was a slightly sarcastic remark, but I didn’t seem to understand it.
It only made me feel frustrated.

“You are so interested in me….”

This was also a sarcastic remark, but Yeo-woon just calmly rolled his
eyes.

He ignored everything I said and suggested that we go out together.

Let’s go out together…? I was a little afraid that if I answered wrong,


Yeo-woon would think this was a date or something. However, if it
wasn’t like going to the movies or eating together, or just going
home together, there was no reason why I couldn’t accept it. It was
still too much to wash together….

“If you go out first and wait, I’ll go home with you.”

At my words, Yeowoon seemed to be so happy that he almost flew


away. Would that be that good? Seeing them happy made me
proud. The steps toward the beginner class seemed brisk.

***
As soon as she saw with her own eyes that the lingering feeling was
leaving, Ji-gu Yun quickly got dressed and came out with only a
towel on her head. I don’t want to make you wait for no reason and
then collapse again from the heat. Yeowoon looked a little dazed
when he saw that he had come out early, but then he even smiled
with his eyes closed. It was a really happy looking face. Why am I so
happy just to go home with you?

He talked quietly the whole time we left the swimming pool and
walked down the street. The topic of discussion was the instructor of
the newly changed beginner class. In fact, I didn’t even know it had
changed, but I found out thanks to Yeowoon’s words.

“The instructor said he was the same age as you.”

is it.

“He looked handsome.”

Eh? I have no idea.

“He memorized my name.”

There are only a few people, so wouldn’t it be stupid if I couldn’t


even remember their names?

“He talks a lot and seems to have a really nice personality. yes?”

No, I felt a little strange just listening to it. The new instructor was
the exact opposite type of person to Ji-gu Yoon.
“Then I….”

I didn’t mean to say this, but when I came to my senses, I saw that
my mouth was moving randomly.

“If you don’t say much. no, I do not want?”

“….”

“… I feel bad because it feels like they are secretly criticizing me.”

So, it meant that you should stop talking about people you don’t
even know. But Yeowoon thought for a moment and said.

“Don’t worry, you have a lot to say too. I guess you thought you
were quiet, but that’s not true at all.”

Good try, but I chose the wrong words. Sounds that don’t even
sound like words. I was shocked, but I was somewhat satisfied
because I didn’t talk to the instructor anymore.

In front of the house, Yunyoung happened to notice the afterglow,


creating a strange situation in which they ate dinner together. It was
a strange feeling to show my lingering feelings in front of my mother
and two older brothers. Perhaps because it had been about ten
years since I brought a friend home, my family was very interested
in Yeo-woon.

Yun Ji-gu glared at his brothers, wary of saying something strange


to Yeo-woon. At a time when I was very nervous, Yeowoon made
another bombshell statement.

“You’re cute. He really seems like the youngest.”

what…! What is he saying now!

I couldn’t help but be taken aback by those words. A few days ago,
you even called ‘Earth Star’ cute, but today is it me? Is it just a
hobby to go around telling everyone you’re cute? I almost wanted to
count how many times I called her cute a day.

“He’s been sulking at us for a few years and calling us over there.
Yeowoon is quickly becoming a brother.”

“I think the Earth likes Yeo-woon a lot.”

Oh, no!

“Ah, kinda! do not say that! …I think you are mistaken when you say
that….”

Ji-gu Yoon was afraid that Yeo-woon would confess to me. Now that
we’ve finally gotten to the point of calling him my older brother, I felt
like if I dumped him, he would go back to being Namnam again.

‘No, wait, wait a minute. …’Maybe not?’

Jigu Yoon blinked and thought about other situations. Even when I
hated him so much and avoided him, Yeo-woon followed after me.
So, I didn’t think he would immediately leave my side if I confessed
to him even once. Surprisingly, there were parts of him that I
couldn’t understand.

Yoon Ji-hyuk and Yoon Ji-ho started gossiping in front of Yeo Woon.
It was something I expected, but when it actually happened, I was
annoyed. Yeowoon, who was calmly listening to their story, muttered
to himself. It’s a bit surprising….” do.

When I heard that it was unexpected, I started to get scared.

‘When I just saw your face, I didn’t know you had this side. ‘You’re a
little awake.’ The voice of someone who said this was pulled from
beyond my memory. Jigu Yoon knew better than anyone else about
the situations in which the word unexpected was used. It was
something I often heard during my school days.

‘hey. When I looked at your face, I thought you wouldn’t be so rude,


but your personality is a bit surprising.’

‘I’m sorry, but do you have a lighter? …No, do you really not smoke?
‘That’s surprising.’

Friends who became close friends always said this to Yun Ji-gu.
They may have been saying this to express their intimacy, but it
didn’t feel very good to hear it.

In the first place, people have expectations of me, and I use the
expression ‘surprised’ because I have deviated significantly from
those expectations.
So Yoon Ji-gu was not very happy with that word. It was even more
so because I had a lingering feeling when I said those words.

If my brothers had just stayed quiet, Lee Yeo-woon wouldn’t have


found out about me. I wanted to quickly disown the two guys who
said something meaningless.

When I arrived in front of the house after finishing my meal with a


bad feeling, I met someone I knew. Yeo-woon had discovered the
identity of the stalker who had been harassing me for over a year. It
was so long ago that even I can barely see the man’s face, but
perhaps because I have sharp eyes, Yeo-woon immediately caught
the man stealing the mail.

He was spouting bullshit while his arms and legs were being
restrained. And foolishly, he began to confess in detail what he had
done. Although he was annoying, I’m more concerned about other
things now than the things that have been stressing me out for a
long time. I didn’t feel relieved at all when I saw the man being
dragged into the cafe and subjected to mental education. Maybe it
was because he was someone I had never cared for anyway, so I
just wanted to quickly file a complaint and get the matter over with.
My mind was heavy the whole time with other things.

“What on earth does my brother think of me?”

“huh?”

“… Why do you keep telling me this is surprising?”


From the moment we first met, his eyes sparkled to the point of
embarrassment. At that time, I didn’t even have time to figure out
his personality. So, it probably started with my appearance.

“if… If my personality is very different from what you know.”

So what does Yeowoon expect from me at this point? Wouldn’t you


be disappointed because it was so different from what you
expected?

“… Then isn’t it a bit bad?”

No matter what he says, you won’t be hurt. It was natural. Yeo-woon


and himself are just neighbors who live next door. Whether it’s
expectation or disappointment, it means that this is not the
relationship to do such things.

“I am….”

Yeo-woon, who had been thinking the whole time, opened her
mouth, and Ji-gu Yoon held his breath without realizing it.

“I don’t think it would matter?”

It doesn’t matter?

“What does that mean? …Don’t say it back. What are you talking
about?”
Does this mean you have nothing to do with me? Is this how you
draw a line? Now, let’s be rude….

Ji was the first to talk to me, nudging me as I stayed still.

For being annoying.

“I’ve only known you for a short time, so it’s natural that I feel
surprised every time I see something I don’t know.”

“… Is this a compliment?”

“therefore….”

Yeowoon said that and looked straight into my eyes. Just as I was
about to get irritated one more time by telling him to stop talking
because it was too difficult for him to say, our eyes met. The thought
circuit solidified at once. The round eyes showed a faint smile.

“You actually talk a lot and your personality may be different from
what I know. But that doesn’t mean that what I see now isn’t real.
Are you acting now?”

“…no.”

“So it doesn’t matter.”

“….”
“Because you are both.”

He had promised himself that he would be able to accept whatever


he said, but when Yeo-woon said something without even thinking
about it, Ji-gu Yoon thought countless times in a short period of
time.

Saying it didn’t matter wasn’t an insult. These weren’t words that


firmly drew a line between himself and Yeo-woon, but rather…His
words came to me as a small consolation.

It doesn’t matter what it looks like as long as it’s not fake. …He
clearly seemed to want to say something like this. Even I didn’t know
it, but I guess it was something I secretly wanted to hear. I was
satisfied with every word Yeowoon said.

‘ah…hot.’

I asked for no reason, thinking I would just think about it alone. It


was already summer, so it was hot at night, and the heat rose to the
back of my neck. hot. It’s so hot I’m dying. This is all because of
global warming. We need to save energy…. Yun Ji-gu opened his
mouth, mumbling something meaningless in his mind.

“…all right.”

“huh.”

“Oh, I just found out, so don’t take it too seriously. Okay.”


Yeowoon nodded at what he added in case he was mistaken. It was
an ambiguous expression that made it impossible to tell whether he
understood or not.

‘Have I been too firm up until now?’

I remembered yelling at Yeowoon and pushing him away, and I felt a


little regretful about the past days. I also thought that I was being
treated too harshly by someone who liked me.

Shall we do a little better starting tomorrow?

…So, only within the limit of not being mistaken!

***

After winning the siege event, a flag with the Poseidon guild mark
was raised above the Isis palace. It was the largest of the major
cities, so it was a place I passed by at least once every time I
entered the game. It’s amazing to see the guild mark there, and it
also makes me feel proud.

And in the end, Cat Nyang Na Nyang became the first user to reach
max level as Valkyrie around the beginning of the rainy season.
Illusion was a great job, but the control difficulty was so extreme that
no one thought of raising it. Eventually, his passion for recklessness
and hard work became famous through word of mouth, not only on
Illusion’s free bulletin board but also in other gaming communities,
and a few days ago, I heard that a game company contacted me
asking if I could be interviewed. All over the bulletin board, people
were talking about Valkyrie’s tearful efforts.

neutaaaa

I’m working overtime, so I’ve just seen the interview…oh my god

Pea peas

Overtime hahahahahahahahahahaha

Yeo-woon, who belatedly saw Cat Meow Meow’s words in the guild
chat room, sent a congratulatory message.

neutaaaa

Congratulations on the interview offer with your cat at max level lol!!
I think it’s even greater because it’s my first time reaching max level.

Cat cat cat cat

I know ㅱㅅㄱㅅ

al0ha
I’m a bit unlucky haha

halloween eggplant

I don’t have a single virtue of humility

For the past few days, Kitty Nyang Na Nyang has been really
energetic and her nose has been raised. Even if he just passed
through town, people started taking screenshots and bragging about
him on the bulletin board, saying he was a famous user.

“You’re still a high school student, but you’re amazing….”

Even though it hadn’t been that long since Yeowoon started playing
this game, he knew very well how significant it was to reach max
level for the first time in his profession. That too in illusion. Everyone
talks about mangames, mangames, but among mmorpg games,
Illusion is one of the three largest games. These people could only
say this because they had never actually played a manga game.
Yeowoon smiled rottenly.

Perhaps because it was summer vacation, when I entered the


game, elementary, middle, and high school students were all online
and playing almost 24 hours a day. If I had had a vacation, I might
have reached max level faster than cat cat cat. It would be nice if
office workers had vacations too….

Yeowoon was having the busiest days of the year due to several
days of screening and production team mistakes. Because of this,
access to the game is rare, but I was able to find out about updates
and in-game trends just by looking at a few links to posts from Earth
Star and Halloween Branch. As soon as everyone sent a message
as if they weren’t sleeping, a reply came right away.

As the manager told me to go home, I woke up and was warming


up, when a message appeared on my phone screen. It was Earth.

ㅈi9 stars

What about me?

Why is only cat cat so great? I was at max level from the
beginning…?

Hahahahahahahahaha

Is it a custom? I don’t know what to do, so even if I applaud roughly,


it’s an uproar. Yeowoon went out into the dark hallway with the
people who remained in the office and turned off the lights. There
was a clicking sound and darkness fell on the office. The motivation
for joining the company was ‘See you later.’ I said hello and trudged
towards the subway station.

“A little later?”

I know, but maybe because I was tired, I got annoyed for no reason.
My steps on the way home were very heavy. It makes no sense to
have to go to work again in a few hours.

Why do people need to make money to live? I wish the Earth would
be destroyed tomorrow.

***

It’s almost ten o’clock at night.


Yeo-woon got off at the bus stop in front of his house with slumped
shoulders and looked up when he saw the lights on at Cafe Earth
turn on. Inside the cafe, there was a familiar employee doing the
final cleaning and Jigu Yoon looking at his cell phone and roughly
organizing the counter. Perhaps because he was tall, I stopped for a
moment when I looked through the window as I passed by.

“….”

Everyone lives a busy life. Yeowoon turned around, reflecting for a


second on his thoughts of destroying the Earth. At that time, there
was a jingle and the cafe door opened. A large hand rested heavily
on Yeowoon’s shoulder.

“excuse me…!”

“…?”

When Yeo-woon turned around, he saw Yoon Ji-gu looking down at


him with a surprised face. An employee who was doing the final
cleaning glances strangely at Yun Ji-gu, who suddenly runs out, and
then goes back to his work. When I tilted my head to see why he
didn’t say anything after calling me, Ji-gu Yoon opened his mouth
instead of remaining blank.

“… Why didn’t you come swimming today?”

“uh? “I was busy.”


I didn’t know why I was curious because we didn’t really talk to each
other except when we were out of the swimming pool.

“You didn’t come yesterday either. … I don’t even come to the cafe
these days.”

“It’s because I’m tired… .”

…But what does that have to do with him? Yeowoon, sensing


something strange in his words, blinked. Ji-gu Yoon said with a deep
sigh.

“I told you, you can come up to three times a week.”

“uh?”

“But this week, you said you didn’t come even once when I wasn’t
there, so I was wondering if something was going on….”

He touched the back of his neck and averted his gaze. He seemed
quite embarrassed. By the way, I asked the other employees if I was
there, and it seems like this is how the cafe manages customers
these days.

Hey, business is good….

Yeo-woon looked at Yun Ji-gu in deep admiration. The more this


happened, the more Yun Ji-gu tried to avoid eye contact with him.
Then Yeo-woon noticed the fine wounds on Yun Ji-gu’s wrist. It was
noticeable even in the dark.
“…?”

“What are you doing now…!”

“What are you doing? “Are you hurt?”

Yeowoon suddenly grabbed his wrist and inspected the wound. The
shiny surface looked like it had been treated with medicine, but the
wound still looked very deep and painful.

“Come on? What did you cut with a knife during your part-time job?
“Be careful.”

“What are you talking about? This is just… I got scratched while
catching the cat earlier.”

“I think the cat caught you at this point.”

“….”

Yun Ji-gu pursed his lips with a puzzled look on Yeo-woon’s words
and then muttered softly.

“It’s because we were in a hurry to get it done because it was almost


time for the animal hospital to close.”

But his words did not reach Yeowoon’s ears. This was because I
was preoccupied with examining the wound. Yeo-woon took Yun Ji-
gu’s other arm and looked at it, then raised his head and faced him.
Both arms were a mess. Yun Ji-gu’s ears, who had been letting Yeo-
woon hold his hand, visibly perked up.

“Doesn’t it hurt?”

“… It hurts when I touch it.”

“It seems so. I won’t touch it either.”

“After touching everything.”

“But I heard that you shouldn’t leave something that a cat


scratches… . What about the hospital?”

“You went to the hospital right away?”

“What do you say?”

“Not much to say…, … But why are you so curious about me?”

Ji-gu Yoon asked as if it were absurd. But you might be curious,


right? Yeo-woon looked at Yoon Ji-gu without saying a word. Even
though he didn’t say anything, Jigu Yoon started to fidget by himself
and soon sighed.

“I got an injection, and they told me to apply the medicine


periodically and leave it as is. Okay?”
“But what if I get scared?”

“…are you okay.”

“It’s not okay. Don’t go swimming tomorrow either. Rest until


everything heals.”

“What about my brother? Are you going swimming tomorrow?”

Yeowoon blinked and tried to organize the screening schedule in his


head. Since I was still a junior employee, there wasn’t much for me
to do, but I thought I’d be busy doing chores until at least next week.

“I don’t think I can go until next week. So I haven’t registered for


next month yet.”

Yun Ji-gu thought about those words for a moment and then said,
“Okay.” He muttered in a low voice.

“…?”

I didn’t know what on earth I knew. At that time, the cafe door rang
again, and an employee who had changed his cafe uniform into
civilian clothes came out and gave Yeowoon a quick greeting. He
looked up at Yun Ji-gu and smiled.

“What are you talking about for so long with a regular customer?”

“… I didn’t say much.”


“is it? I’ll go first. My brother is finishing up and leaving.”

“Uh, go.”

An employee wearing a white crossbag walked towards the bus


stop. Yun Ji-gu looked at his back and then shifted his gaze to Yeo-
woon.

“Brother, would you like to take some cookies?”

“cookie?”

“There is some left today. I made….”

“uh? “Did you make it?”

“… It’s not that bad, it’s just left.”

“….”

“many.”

Jigu Yoon suddenly said with a straight face. If there are any left, I’ll
just sell them tomorrow. However, there was no reason to refuse, so
Yeo-woon nodded without thinking, and Ji-gu Yoon dragged him into
the cafe.
“Wait just five minutes! It’s all sorted out, but I need to change my
clothes… It will be out soon.”

Before Yeowoon could respond, he took off his apron and


disappeared in a huff.

Yeo-woon leaned back against the back of the chair and stared
endlessly in the direction where Yoon Ji-gu had disappeared. The
interior of the cafe, with the lights half off, felt different from what I
was used to seeing. Meanwhile, a new flower pot arrived in one
corner of the cafe. It was a monstera leaf with split ends. It went well
with the hot summer.

Ji-gu Yoon kept his promise to come out soon. After taking off his
uniform and changing into a white T-shirt, he held a small box in his
hand. There seemed to be well over ten individually wrapped cookies
in the white box.

“What, can I give you all of this?”

“It doesn’t really matter. If I make it again anyway….”

“You said you didn’t make it.”

“Ah, someone else can make it instead of me….”

“….”

“… When you give something, just take it kindly!”


He’s angry again…. Yeowoon nodded indifferently.

“How many of these are there? “I will eat this for the rest of my life.”

I don’t like sweets that much, so I thought I’d take it to work


tomorrow and share it.

“This is heart-shaped.”

“It’s an illusion.”

Jigu Yoon spoke firmly. Are you saying it’s not heart shaped?
Yeowoon thought as he flipped the cookie over. When I turned it 180
degrees, it seemed to be shaped like a spade. Still, I said that
because it looks exactly like a heart….

“song.”

“done?”

As soon as he nodded, there was the sound of the air conditioner


turning off. Yeowoon got up and followed him, holding a heavy
cookie box in one hand. No matter what, as a human being, I have
to give something in return…. Yeowoon was rummaging through his
empty bag and found a lollipop that he had forgotten he had put in
his side pocket. He took out the candy and put it in the pocket of
Yun Ji-gu’s pants as he locked the door.

“…what!”
He jumped up in surprise and looked back at Yeo Woon.

“candy.”

“Then why don’t you just give it to me? Why do you keep putting it in
your pocket every time?”

“Because the only place to put it is in my pocket.”

“And why do you always carry candy with you? “Is your brother a
laborer?”

“You want to give it to me?”

“…So do you really carry it with you all the time? “When do you
know you’ll meet me?”

Actually, it was a joke, but he looked so serious that I had nothing to


say. Yeo-woon, looking at his wide-open eyes, smiled as if
embarrassed and told the truth.

“It’s a lie.”

“…Oh really!”

“I just happened to have it so I gave it to you, thank you. I’ll enjoy


the cookies.”
If you part ways at this point, you can say the usual greeting,
‘Goodbye.’ However, Yoon Ji-gu and Yeo-woon were neighbors.
While waiting for the elevator together, Yeo-woon thought about
what kind of greeting would be appropriate for Ji-gu Yoon.

“Do you always work until this hour?”

“no. Just for today….”

“why? “Who is the pinch hitter?”

“….”

Yun Ji-gu was speechless. For some reason, it felt like his face was
a little red in the dim light. Although it didn’t seem like he was
embarrassed at all, seeing as his eyes were tense as if he was very
angry.

“… I told you earlier that I couldn’t go swimming until next week.”

“Yes.”

“Is it because you’re busy? “So, are you going to have a good time
starting next week?”

“why? “What do you have?”

“There is something. I’m just asking.”


That’s because you talk like you’re going to do something together.
Yeowoon nodded his head hesitantly. Yun Ji-gu just looked down at
the floor and twitched his hands. As I looked at it quietly, I got a
feeling. I didn’t notice it when I was going to the swimming pool
alone, but I was getting bored of going alone. Ji-gu Yoon also
seemed to be feeling lonely.

The elevator quickly stopped on the 9th floor. I felt like I was going to
die from exhaustion until I got on the bus and got off in front of my
house, but after receiving some cookies, my fatigue went away. Yun
Ji-gu was pressing the door lock code without even looking at me.

“Earth.”

“…what?”

When I called out to him at the door, Ji-gu Yoon’s eyes widened as if
he was hearing his name called for the first time.

“Thanks for the cookies. good night!”

“….”

Since I was next door, I thought it would be better to say ‘good night’
rather than ‘good night’. It’s also the middle of the night. Yeo-woon
waved to Yoon Ji-gu and went into the house first. After a while, I
heard the door next door slam shut.

「Earth: Bro, why are you acting so busy these days? Come on in
and play the game!!!」
When I finished washing up, a Whole Blue message had arrived
from Earth Star. It seemed like they were playing games all this
time. Earth Star was connected almost every time Yeowoon entered
the game. Maybe it’s because it’s vacation, but Earth Star, a college
student, seems to be very excited.

「Hahahahaha on the weekend」

「Earth: Weekend????? “I’m bored.”

“But what will Earth Star do if I go in? “There’s no event to do


together.”

“earth: ? I’m just saying I’m bored…Do we really need to do it


together?-_-」

I guess I’m really bored. If Earth had content to play alone, it


wouldn’t have been so annoying. I was hoping that Illusion would
release some kind of event quickly.

「Earth: Are you saying I’m bored?」

「Earth: Chewing again?」

「Earth: While watching lol」

「Earth: It’s popping up while connected? “You didn’t know this,


right??”
“It’s really noisy. Let’s just get some sleep.”

「Earth: Hahahahaha」

For some reason, today’s planet Earth tended to be eradicated


quickly. If it were like usual, I would have said, ‘Hmm, I don’t like it? I
must have scoffed a few more times, saying, ‘Why me?’ Yeo-woon
fell asleep as soon as he turned off the light and lay down. After a
while, a faint sound of water drops was heard from his bedside, and
a pop-up message appeared on his phone.

「Earth: Sleep well too, brother…- _-」

***

Summer passed in the blink of an eye. Poseidon began to become


more and more famous without Yeowoon being aware of it. The
proportion of rankers in the guild began to increase, and new guild
members also entered the guild. Because of that, sometimes we got
into aggro and got into dog fights, but it was far from a lingering
feeling.

Seonyong

So you suddenly became the chief?


In the meantime, one of Yeowoon’s former colleagues left the
company, and a new employee was hired. The company president
had a strange philosophy that no matter what, there should be a
clear hierarchy between new employees and existing employees.
Because of this, Yeo-woon and another person were promoted from
temple to foreman. There is no particular difference in the duties,
although it is a title in name only. I was curious as to why the
company was not going bankrupt even though it was going so
smoothly.

Seonyong

Hahahaha give me a treat to celebrate your promotion.

Come today

Seonyong

That’s a bit sudden…. I also have a schedule

What do you do after work?

Seonyong

drama

See you at my house

Seonyong
hmm

Life has been very boring these days because I just go back and
forth between work and home. Friends who used to come and go in
my room all the time when I was close to home have now met up
with me once a month.

Seonyong

But it’s so funny haha. My college classmate also raised his hand
when the boss said, ‘Who wants to be the representative here~’ and
became the assistant manager. Haha.

Don’t talk back. Are you coming to my house?

Seonyong

If your house is too far away and the car is cut off, there is no
answer…Will you pay taxi fare?

no? You can let him sleep in the shoe cabinet. Are you coming?

Seonyong

I’m going to see my girlfriend tomorrow evening.

So are you coming today?


Seonyong

I’m probably going to wake up after lunch and I don’t have any
clothes to change into….

I have half of your clothes in my closet….

well dressed

Seonyong

crazy guy

Are you coming?

Seonyong

Goes

Hahahahahahahahaha

I thought so. I thought he would come since he didn’t say no.


Yeowoon was so busy thinking about what to order for dinner that he
could barely do any work in the afternoon.

***
Yeo-woon took advantage of the opportunity when the instructor
wasn’t looking to cross into an empty lane and talk to Ji-gu Yoon. At
first, he was extremely unfamiliar with talking to her at the swimming
pool, but now he seems to have gotten used to it, and when Yeo-
woon notices him, he tends to wait patiently for him to talk to her.

Yeowoon was a very minor celebrity in the seven o’clock swimming


class. This is because the only person Ji-gu Yoon, who people
suspect is a robot, talks to in the swimming pool is Yeo-woon.

“They say that only the good students in our class will move on to
the intermediate level next week.”

“What about you?”

“….”

“I knew so.”

“what?”

Ji-gu Yoon suddenly started arguing. I wondered what was wrong


with someone who rarely played pranks. No, is this not an argument,
but sincerity? Yeowoon looked at Yunjigu with wary eyes. He
crossed his arms and looked down at the afterglow.

“It’s true.”
“uh?”

“You really don’t know? “I think I know why my brother Sooyoung


isn’t improving.”

It sounded like a fight, but it was a little tempting. Yeowoon paused


for a moment and then asked.

“…why?”

“Why? Even now, he doesn’t practice swimming because he’s


annoying me. I’m not even good at freestyle.”

“is it….”

But I wasn’t going to become a swimmer, so those words didn’t


really hit me. If you can’t swim, you can just take a boat. Ji-gu Yoon
chuckled as if he was taken aback by Yeo-woon’s calm answer.

“Be honest. Let’s just come to the pool and have fun.”

“You’ve been so grumpy these days.”

When I scooped up a little water with my palm and sprinkled it on Ji-


gu Yoon, he turned his body slightly without much effort to avoid the
stream of water. And the way he raised the corners of his mouth as
if he was triumphant felt slightly obnoxious.
As usual, I washed up first and went out to wait, and within 5
minutes, Ji-gu Yoon came running out. He hinted that Yeo-woon was
talking to Seon-yong via messenger and asked.

“Are you replying late?”

“Yes.”

“Do it quickly.”

If sending a reply to a message that arrived 30 minutes ago can be


considered a late reply. After giving the house password to the guy
who arrived first and ordering him to run the vacuum cleaner, Yeo-
woon found a profile on the messenger that he had never seen
before.

Kang Je-hyeok

Chief, is it okay to talk to you for a moment?

He was a new employee who joined the team with a lingering feeling.
There was something ominous about suddenly making a phone call.
What’s going on? Yeowoon first found his phone number and called
him. Ji-gu Yoon was just watching what Yeo-woon was doing with his
eyes wide open next to him.

- Chief, I’m sorry!

“…?”
As soon as I answer the phone, the first thing that comes out is that
I’m sorry. The sound was so loud that even Yoon Ji-gu must have
heard it. Yeo-woon looked at Ji-gu Yoon’s suddenly stiff expression
and lowered the volume of the call.

“What’s going on? Why are you doing this all of a sudden? “Are you
sorry?”

-I stepped on a pink pen on the floor earlier and my body was


completely shattered. But just now, the assistant manager said that
was the chief’s favorite pen…. I’m really sorry, I care about you.
From now on, I will just walk while looking at the ground.

be surprised Don’t ask if it’s okay to talk about something trivial…. I


thought something urgent had come up and I had to go back to
work. After calming down the fussing new employee, Yeowoon hung
up the call.

“earth…uh?”

When I turned my head to tell him to go home, I saw Ji-gu Yoon


looking at Yeo-woon strangely from about 2 meters away.

“What are you doing there? Let’s go home.”

“….”

“Do you want to go home?”

“… Don’t come any closer.”


As Yeo-woon took one step closer, he took two steps back.

“Why are you like that….”

What kind of wind did I hear again? Now, I don’t mind Yun Ji-gu
being wary of me. It’s not even a day or two that he suddenly acts
like that…. If you leave him on guard like that, his expression will
soften again when he lets go on his own. It was no different from
everyday life.

“Brother, I just….”

While walking in the cool breeze, Yun Ji-gu, who had been thinking
for a while next to me, muttered in a low voice.

“Is it true that the person on the phone said you were the owner?”

“huh? that’s right.”

I was embarrassed because it was a promotion that wasn’t a


promotion. Yeowoon rubbed the back of his neck and nodded as if
he was embarrassed. Then Yun Ji-gu’s expression became more
strange.

“So are you the one who came to my house before?”

at home?

“What are you talking about? “I’m from the company.”


“… Are you from the company?”

“I’m a new employee.”

“H-what?”

It’s a surprise. Yeo-woon was even more surprised by what Yun Ji-
gu shouted, and his shoulders trembled. Doesn’t this sound too
obvious? Is there anyone in the world who would call themselves the
boss unless they work at a company? Yeo-woon looked at Yoon Ji-
gu, whose expression changed every second, with interest.

“Then what about the people I called home then! Those two people
sold it somewhere and got together with someone from the
company….”

Why do you look so nervous? I hope you calm down.

“I’m already meeting someone today. I decided to come home.”

“Why, why?”

“Are you just going to drink and have fun? But why all of a sudden?
“Can you introduce me?”

“yes? no?”

“He also likes meeting people. If it’s okay with you, should I ask you
to play together?”
When Yeowoon took out his cell phone as if he was going to make a
call at any moment, Jigu Yoon shook his head violently and took a
step back.

“it’s crazy! “What are you playing with? I don’t like it!”

“….”

“I don’t like it.”

If you don’t like it, you don’t like it, why go to such lengths? The
distance between Yeo-woon and Yoon Ji-gu widened further. He was
standing almost at the edge of the sidewalk block, looking at me like
he was watching a bug. Jigu Yoon sometimes does that alone. I
don’t know if he was clear about expressing his thoughts or if he was
just shy, but if you look closely, he was a very unique person.

“Come on. It’s dangerous if you’re too close to the road.”

“….”

“huh?”

Yeowoon grabbed Yoon Jigu’s sleeve and pulled him in, and he was
dragged along without much resistance. He pursed his lips, unable
to hide his confusion. I wanted to know what on earth he was
thinking.

Today, as I held on to Yoon Ji-gu, who was silent, and talked about
my daily life one-sidedly, I arrived home before I knew it. As soon as
I got off the elevator, I started hearing the sound of a vacuum
cleaner. It seems that Seonyong is listening well. Awesome guy….

“… Are you doing this on purpose?”

“what?”

“Are you protesting against me?”

“I?”

Before I could ask what was happening, my phone rang. The large
letters floating on the screen were ‘Ha Seon-yong’. You ghost-like
bastard, how did you know it was in front of my house? As soon as
he answered the phone, Seonyong screamed.

-where are you!

“In front of the front door.”

The door was wide open. Seon-yong looked annoyed at Yeo-woon


and closed his mouth when he saw her with Yun Ji-gu. There was an
awkward atmosphere between the two people. Seon-yong looked at
him, not knowing what was going on, and for some reason, Ji-gu
Yoon also stared at Ha Seon-yong without avoiding his gaze.

“What are you doing there while you’re here? Come in quickly.”
Seonyong lowered his tail first and hid his face behind the front door.
It certainly seemed like Jigu Yoon was going to say something, but
that was for later.

“…brother.”

Ji-gu Yoon called out to Yeo-woon from behind.

“stop it.”

“…?”

“It’s really obvious that you intentionally make that phone call in front
of me.”

Yeowoon looked back with a puzzled face and was at a loss for
words before even understanding what was being said.

It was the first feeling of coolness in a long time. A much colder


expression, quite different from the troubled expression he always
showed.

“This doesn’t work for me.”

A soft voice stuck in my mind. Once again, Yoon Ji-gu looked


unfamiliar.

“There are degrees of aiming. It’s so severe that it’s noticeable.”


…Why are you angry?

“So either find another way, or give up when they say it in a good
way.”

Why are you making that look at me and not anyone else?

“This kind of thing sucks, so let’s sort it out ourselves.”

The door closed with a bang. These days, I always enter the house
first, and it’s been a while since I’ve seen Yun Ji-gu’s back, but for
some reason, a part of my heart felt uncomfortable as I watched her
broad back disappear beyond the gray door. Yeowoon stood there
for a while, looking at the door of room 901.

***

The more I thought about it, the less I understood it. There must be
some reason why the child who seemed calm while walking home
together suddenly changed his attitude after getting off the elevator.

‘…’It was my first time seeing that kind of expression.’

Yeowoon looked back at what he had said and wondered several


times if he had made a mistake, but there was no such thing.
“Lee Yeo-un.”

“uh?”

“Why didn’t you answer from earlier? “Where does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt.”

“But why do you keep blanking out today? I’m out of alcohol. Let’s
go to the convenience store.”

Yeo-woon, who had been trying to tell her to go alone because it


was too troublesome, suddenly got up when she thought that being
alone would only make her head more complicated.

“Okay, let’s go.”

“uh?”

“Let’s go.”

“So soon?”

Seon-yong, who had brought up the story in advance, knowing of


course that he would say no, was shocked and surprised. Yeo-woon
forcibly dragged Seon-yong, who had told him to stay for five
minutes, out of the house.
As I was coming out of the building and heading to a nearby
convenience store, I saw Ji-gu Yoon sitting alone on a swing at a
nearby park playground and squeaking.

“….”

There are still a lot of mosquitoes, so what are you doing over
there?

“Isn’t that the guy next door to you?”

Yeowoon nodded. The moment I opened my mouth to reflexively


pretend to know, Ji-gu Yoon’s cold face suddenly came to mind.
Maybe that’s why I wondered if I could say hello in this situation.

“….”

Yeowoon lowered his slightly raised hand again and clenched his fist.
At that time, Ji-gu Yoon, who was sitting on the swing and looking at
his phone, looked up. From a distance away, our eyes met each
other.

“….”

“….”

We made eye contact for a while, with a single dim streetlight


between us. Yun Ji-gu, who was looking at Yeo-woon with an
expressionless face, was the first to turn his head. Yeowoon didn’t
like that. Even though he avoids my gaze for more than a day or
two, the situation is different from before and it bothers me.

He was clearly angry. But why?

“….”

What did I do, really. I wanted to run to him right away and catch
him and ask him why he was doing that. No, if only Seonyong hadn’t
come to play today, he might have done that a long time ago. Ha
Seon-yong suddenly stopped, glanced at Yeo-woon, who was in a
state of panic, and asked vaguely.

“What are you doing with the girl next door?”

“no?”

Ha Seon-yong didn’t even pretend to hear Yeo-woon’s denial.

“Not really. The two of you said something outside the front door
earlier…. The look on his face really wasn’t funny, but honestly, I
was a little scared too. Everyone came home and didn’t come back.
What did you two talk about there?”

“Oh, nothing special….”

Yeo-woon, who tried to tell it off by saying it was no big deal, was
speechless and couldn’t even finish his sentence. It wasn’t a big
deal. When the situation at that time came to mind, Yeowoon burst
into laughter and said.
“Suddenly they say it sucks….”

“you?”

“I don’t know.”

“Did you say anything else besides that?”

“It was there, but I don’t really remember it.”

I was momentarily shocked by the cold face, and couldn’t remember


exactly what he said. I’m too busy looking at the face…. So the only
thing I remember saying is, ‘This shit sucks.’ Despite Seon-yong’s
words telling her to think carefully, Yeo-woon didn’t do anything and
just felt unfair. My footsteps gradually became heavier.

“You remember Chaemin.”

“…suddenly?”

Yeo-woon tilted her head at the name Seon-yong suddenly brought


up.

“Why Chaemin?”

Kim Chae-min was the name of a senior in college. He was


someone I met while living in the dorm when I first entered college.
We took a lot of classes together with him, so we hung out almost
every day. He suddenly took a leave of absence from school and
enlisted in the military when Yeo-woon was barely out of his
freshman year. And until the moment I graduated, I rarely saw him
at school.

“know. But why is that?”

“Do you remember that you sent him to the military?”

“I said no.”

This kid is like this every time. When 20-year-old Yeo-woon


complained that her senior, who had been giving her everything from
genealogy to department information, suddenly disappeared, Seon-
yong criticized Yeo-woon, saying it was all because of me before he
even heard the whole story. It’s just that we lived in a dormitory and
were in the same department, so we had a lot of time together….

“You kept confusing me and suddenly he got a girlfriend, so I guess


he’s got some mental energy left. I’m already a timid person, and
when I saw Jeong Se-hyung come to visit during the festival, I got
scared and jumped out.”

“But why is it my fault? Do you have any proof? “He said it was
because of me?”

“This bastard is secretly pretending not to know…. You have more


than that. Tell me everything about what happened when you were
in high school?”
Yeo-woon was speechless for a moment at Seon-yong’s laughing
voice. This is why a friend who knows too much is dangerous. He
knew almost everything about lingering emotions. Even in high
school, I was often secretly summoned to confess, and Ha Seon-
yong caught the scene every time. So there was a time when I
thought, ‘Do I really like men too?’ I wanted to, but when I
experimented later, it really wasn’t true.

“… I admit that I am different, but Chaemin is not like that.”

Kim Chae-min suddenly appeared on Yeo-woon’s college graduation


day, gave him flowers, said it had been a while, and even took a
picture with him. He added that he was still at school because his
return to school was delayed, and Yeo-woon remembered feeling
truly pitiful for him.

“They said they were busy.”

“I was busy…Yeah, that’s right. Because nothing happened,


Chaemin probably chewed up all your contact information and even
changed your number.”

“It’s not really true.”

“But Lee Yeo-un.”

The moment Ha Seon-yong entered the convenience store, he


suddenly made eye contact and seriously called out his name.
Yeowoon also became serious for no reason and waited for him to
continue his words with a solemn look on his face.
“Would it be any different if it was the girl next door?”

Suddenly, when Yoon Ji-gu’s story came up, the alcohol went away.

“Why is he suddenly like that?”

“All of a sudden, we were talking about that from the beginning.


Think about it, you idiot. Of all the people you’ve ever looked down
on, that guy is the most handsome.”

“Is that what you think too?”

Yeo-woon couldn’t understand the situation and agreed to what he


said. Seon-yong looked at him with a tired expression on his face
and shook his head, saying he couldn’t hit such a lingering sight.

“This time too, you didn’t do anything for yourself. know. But I don’t
think that’s the case for him.”

But I really didn’t do anything. We don’t go to school together or


work part-time together.

All we did was just come and see each other, so you think Ji-gu
Yoon would have mistaken it like that? That doesn’t make sense.

If that were really the case, Yoon Ji-gu would have been a bit overly
self-conscious.

“What are you saying, don’t act like you know.”


Despite Yeo-un’s ridicule, Seon-yong steadfastly insisted on his
opinion.

“I should know better than you.”

“Damn.”

“You will contact me in a few months. If I’m right then, buy beef.”

“Buy it with your own money.”

The two men held armfuls of canned beer and headed back toward
Yeowoon’s house.

“Ah, Lee Yeo-un. Please don’t do it. it hurts!”

While they were bickering like a joke, a shadow appeared behind the
two. Ha Seon-yong was the first to look back. A large hand covered
Yeo-woon’s hand, which was patting Seon-yong’s body.

“Oh, it’s cold!”

Yeowoon was startled and looked back. I wondered why my hands


were so cold even though it wasn’t winter, but Ji-gu Yoon suddenly
appeared and was holding a pear-flavored jjujjuba in one hand.

Ji-gu Yoon gently let go of Yeo-woon’s hand and squeezed himself


between him and Seon-yong. Oh, it was Seonyong who made a
noise and took a step back first. However, Yoon Ji-gu did not even
look in that direction and only glared at Yeo-woon.

“… They say don’t do it.”

What situation is this? Yeo-woon couldn’t hide his embarrassment at


the soft voice and sudden intervention of Ji-gu Yoon and just closed
his eyes.

“Why do you keep doing it when I tell you not to?”

“No, I’m just kidding… .”

Yeo-woon made a request for help with his eyes as if telling Seon-
yong to say something, but he could not make eye contact because
of Yoon Ji-gu standing between them.

‘Ha Seon-yong, you crazy bastard!’

Yeowoon shouted inwardly. I couldn’t figure out why he was still.

‘wait for a sec.’

But when I thought about it, I found it a bit absurd. It wasn’t like he
was beating the child with his fist until it bled, it was just a fight that
usually happens between friends. I didn’t understand what right Jigu
Yoon had to prevent that.

“Don’t interrupt. I hit him. Did I hit you?”


“why. Are you going to beat me too now?”

“Who said it was a hit? “It’s just a joke and the reaction is a bit
different.”

In most cases, it would have been okay to console and comfort her
like a child, but today I don’t feel like doing that. For some reason,
Yeo-woon did not appease him and became sarcastic, so a faint
expression of anxiety slowly appeared on Yun Ji-gu’s cool face.

“…joke? How do I know that? I was just going into the house when I
heard that person telling me not to…That’s why I just dried it.”

“what?”

As I listened to it, I slowly got excited. The more I think about it, the
more absurd it becomes. Yeowoon burst out laughing and snapped.

“hey.”

“what.”

Yun Ji-gu also did not say a word.

“Why are you taking his side?”

“…yes?”
“Who are you friends with?”

“Brother.”

“Then whose side should you side with?”

“…No, why does that story come up here? When did I take sides?
The way I see it, my brother hit me, so I stop him. Then you stop
the person who got hit?”

“I didn’t hit you.”

No and. It’s none of my business whether I hit him or not, and the
more I think about it, the angrier I get. Since when did Ha Seon-
yong and Ji become so close? My friend ate with me, so why did he
take Ha Seon-yong’s side and get angry at me?

“You need to talk to me for a moment. Why are you so angry all of a
sudden?”

Yun Ji-gu frowned at what Yeo-woon said while sighing. And he tilted
his head slightly as if he really didn’t know.

“…fury? “Me?”

“Yes, you. No matter how much I think about it, I didn’t do anything
wrong.”

“….”
“But that’s just from my perspective, and I think you might feel
differently. So, if there is something that annoys you, please tell me.
Why are you arguing with a passerby about something that doesn’t
work?”

“….”

“Do I look easy because you treat me well?”

Yoon Ji-gu didn’t answer for a long time. He just bites his lips tightly
with his eyes red. Why do you suddenly get angry when you won’t
even explain the reason properly?

…And more than that, why did you take Ha Seon-yong’s side, even
though you don’t know anything about it? I won’t say anything until
you tell me the reason.

Yeo-woon glared at Yun Ji-gu and stood tall and had a snowball fight
for a while. Ji-gu Yoon’s eyes were slightly shaken by his gaze, but
he still crossed his arms and glared at Yeo-woon.

“Crazy guy…. Hold your wrist.”

Seonyong, who was watching this from behind, muttered as if it was


obvious and took the first step into the building.

***
Kang, Kang, Kang!

The sound of Yeowoon’s character hitting the hammer in front of the


aquarium’s central bank was loud.

‘The enchantment was successful!’

‘You have obtained <Sea Rabbit’s Fury Orb +6>!’

There was nothing better than strengthening items to relieve stress.


This is because it is content that can be played without thinking while
listening to loud noises, and you can make a lot of money by selling
items. When you quietly tap on items like this, peace comes to your
mind….

‘The enchantment was successful!’

‘You have obtained <Sea Rabbit’s Fury Orb +7>!’

But really…Fuck.

‘The enchantment was successful!’

‘You have obtained <Sea Rabbit’s Fury Orb +8>!’

Really, this is ridiculous.


‘The enchantment was successful!’

‘You have obtained <Sea Rabbit’s Fury Orb +9>!’

It’s really annoying….

Yeowoon took out the reinforcement fragments he had won at the


auction house from the mailbox and continued to attempt
reinforcement. When Yeowoon, who was in the same spot from
earlier, showed only a success sign without a single failure, the user
who was absent-mindedly next to him also quietly attempted to
reinforce.

[All] The Shrew’s Temptation: Tteuk ㅜ

He immediately experienced failure and trudged away.

After a while, a guild member who was passing by suddenly stopped


in front of Yeo-woon and started talking.

[Guild] Cat Cat Me Cat: What’s wrong with Newta’s clothes?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Why?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I met you at the aquarium, and
you’re wearing only a pair of strange leaf panties.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: ㄷㄷ?


After hearing that, the guild members who had nothing to do came
to watch. As they watched Yeo-woon working hard to strengthen
items without answering, they felt something puzzling.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Why doesn’t the item explode? Didn’t


you do it ten times?

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Is there a superstition that taking off your
clothes increases the chance of strengthening?

[Guild] al0ha: Huh, a new folk religion?

[Guild] al0ha: Wow, it succeeded again hahahaha is it a bug?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Awesome, I’ll try it too

Kitty Nyang Nayang unlocked all fashion items and equipment on the
spot, and began strengthening her helmet in the lingering presence.
Kang, Kang, Kang, Kang, Kang!

And the sound of a crow croaking above his head sounds like
‘Reinforcement failed!’ A letter came to mind.

[Guild] Cat Cat Cat: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahaha


[Guild] al0ha: Oh my

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: No haha

It’s all wrong. Let alone peace of mind, the more you think about it
alone, the more all your conclusions become ‘…’ …But it is replaced
with ‘Fuck it!’ asked Earth Star, who was standing alone among the
guild members who were sitting in front of Yeo-woon and starting to
chat with Meow-nyang-na-nyang, who was on her way to get the
item again.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Why are you wearing only panties like a pervert…

[Guild] Halloween Branch: ? What on Earth is he thinking about


alone?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Now who is the real pervert?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Why are you wearing only panties like a pervert…

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Why are you wearing only panties like a pervert…

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Why are you wearing only panties like a pervert…
Why are you wearing only panties like a pervert? Why are you
wearing only panties like a pervert? Why are you wearing only
panties like a pervert?
This guild is all good, but they don’t give me time to be alone at all.
Yeo-woon decided to tell Earth Star, who kept asking why, that she
had no choice but to tell him the reason.

[Guild] neutaaaa: These clothes are the strangest

[Guild] al0ha: ??

Yeo Woon’s character was modeled after Yoon Ji-gu. As soon as I


sent Seonyong away and turned on the game, I remembered
yesterday’s events as soon as I saw the character I was facing.
However, I suddenly felt a bit of a waste of money to change the
character’s face and hair, and I felt a childish sense of revenge, so I
went to a fashion shop.

The only thing ‘neutaaaa’ was currently wearing was a pair of leaf
panties on her bare body. It is a component included in the caveman
set that looks like green leaves tied together with a single piece of
string, but it seemed too strong when combined with the other
components, so I just bought one.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Why do you keep dressing me in strange clothes?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Why?

[Guild] neutaaaa: To speak

Yeowoon answered like that and put the pigtail item in the equipment
window on his head. Crazy guy. So, if I hadn’t listened to Ha Seon-
yong’s side yesterday, this wouldn’t have happened. No matter how
much I think about it, it wasn’t my fault.

‘Why are you taking out your anger on me when you’re not a child?’

I won’t say anything until you apologize first. Yeowoon made a firm
determination.

al0ha suddenly requested a deal and gave the pigtail-haired leaf


panties pervert a pair of large dragonfly sunglasses. By wearing
sunglasses, the true character of the character has disappeared, but
he looks like a more terrible pervert, which makes me feel a little
relieved. I’m not an 18-year-old high school student who is upset
after fighting with a friend. Even I couldn’t figure out why I had such
a childish desire for revenge.

The Poseidon guild members danced next to Yeowoon and played


while making reinforcement failures one after another, but when Kitty
Meow Nyangnyang called out that a whale was floating at the fishing
spot, they all disappeared in a hurry. And only the Earth Star
remained at some distance from Yeowoon. It seemed like he might
have been away for a while.

Yeo-woon, who was combining accessories without paying attention


to the Earth Star, realized too late that the Earth Star was not
underwater. He was twitching, moving the character even slightly.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Why aren’t you going?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: You have a brother, right?


The Earth Star responded right away, as if waiting for him to speak
first.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: If anything happens, just tell me ㅇㅅㅇ…

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: They say sadness is doubled when shared.

[Couple] Neutaaaa: ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: ;;; Because the context is roughly similar

Suddenly, the Earth Star said something strange, and I started


laughing without realizing it. I don’t know if he was joking or if he
really knew what he was saying, but I felt a little better.

“…Ah, but it’s a bit embarrassing.”

When I tried to talk about the guy next door to Ji Ji-byeol, who was
just an internet friend and not a friend I had known for a long time
like Ha Seon-yong or Jeong Se-hyung, the words did not come out
that easily. I just want to remain casual acquaintances with him. He
had already accepted to be called “brother” without the guild
members knowing, and we also communicated personally through
Whole Blue, so it seemed like there would be no way to turn back if
he revealed his concerns.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Maybe

The guy who was a fast typist sent only two letters and paused for a
long time.
[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Are you angry?

It was a short statement considering I had been thinking about it for


a long time. Yeo-woon, who realized that he was watching her, felt
bad because she felt like she had made Earth Star worry
unnecessarily by showing off.

[Couple] neutaaaa: I’m not angry hahaha

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: But why aren’t you talking today…

Did you care? Yeowoon tilted his head. He didn’t seem like the type
of person to care about such things, but he seemed to have a
surprisingly timid side.

[Couple] neutaaaa: I just have something to think about…

[Couple] neutaaaa: Oh that’s right

[Couple] neutaaaa: Earth Star, you said there was a strange person
living next door too, right?

Suddenly I remembered that he said there was a pervert living next


door. I wanted to ask Earth Star how she was getting along with her
perverted neighbor.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Why are you talking backㅡㅡ

I didn’t change my mind….


[Couple] neutaaaa: That’s not it…. hmm

[Couple] neutaaaa: I also found someone next door.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Are you close??

[Couple] neutaaaa: Yes

[Couple] neutaaaa: But actually, I had an argument with him


yesterday.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Ahahaha

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: But why did they suddenly talk about my next
door neighbor?

[Couple] neutaaaa: I wanted to ask how other people are doing with
their neighbors haha.

Yesterday, I was complaining to Ha Seon-yong that I was annoyed


all the time, and what he said was, ‘These days, I don’t even say
hello to my neighbors often. ‘Are you sure you’re weird?’ And then I
secretly told him that the lingering feeling was strange. Ji-gu Yoon
said the same thing, and he couldn’t understand why Ha Seon-yong
was taking Yoon Ji-gu’s side even though he was his friend.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I just…It’s the same


[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahaha I guess we still don’t get along very
well haha, right?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Huh? no?? We get along well, right?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Really? Before, they only made me curse.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: It wasn’t that bad, we got along really well.

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㄷㄷ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: It’s realㅡㅡ

“Okay, well….”

I don’t know what happened so far, but it looks like they have
reconciled. Look at this, you haven’t even said hello to your
neighbors these days? That’s because Ha Seon-yong lives too
harshly.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Why did you fight with your neighbor?

[Couple] neutaaaa: I don’t know

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ??

[Couple] neutaaaa: I don’t know. Is this a group leader? I suddenly


got angry and was confused;;
[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ㄷ….

It seems that even Earth was dumbfounded to hear this.

[Couple] neutaaaa: The kid who was fine just a second ago suddenly
gets really angry.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Wasn’t there a reason?

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㄱㄴㄲㅇ If there’s something that annoys me,


you can tell me the reason haha. But when I asked him why, he
didn’t say anything…

[Couple] neutaaaa: No matter how much of a reason there is, if you


don’t tell them the reason, it’s really annoying for the victim.

[Couple] neutaaaa: So yesterday, we just had a snowball fight for a


while and then came in first.

If you have something to say, you should say it quickly, or he would


just stare at you with an intrusive look on his face, which made you
so annoyed that you turned around first. Yun Ji-gu just stood there
without even holding on to himself. For some reason, that image
kept catching my eye until I went to sleep.

[Couple] neutaaaa: When I turn on the game in the morning, I


suddenly feel lost again haha.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Oh ㅛㅐㅇ?


[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Why?

[Couple] neutaaaa: I told you before that I customized this to look


like the kid next door. I forgot about it and remembered it again, so I
was a little distraught haha.

I couldn’t tell Earth Star in detail, but in fact, I was more


disappointed that he used my feelings as an excuse to take
someone else’s side rather than suddenly getting irritated for no
reason. If he had really done something wrong, he would have
accepted it, but since it wasn’t something in particular, it was only
more absurd.

[Couple] neutaaaa: This is it. It’s really no big deal, right?

[Couple] neutaaaa: It’s not a big deal, but please keep this a secret.
I’m not an elementary school student and I don’t want to be made
fun of for fighting with my neighbors….

The guy who always jokes around reacted more seriously than
usual, probably because he thought this wasn’t something to be
taken as a joke. He wriggled around without saying anything for a
while,

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Are you saying you fell out of love?

and asked again.

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ


[Couple] neutaaaa: Dog bird

At first, I thought it was a good idea not to talk about anything too
personal to my online friends, but after sharing it, I feel much
relieved. On the contrary, since we were not real friends, there was
also the advantage of being able to talk more freely.

[Guild] 9 stars: Just take a nap.

Much later. The planet Earth must have suddenly become busy and
made typos, and it was a golden Sunday afternoon. The connection
was suddenly terminated.

***

I couldn’t sleep even a wink.

‘Do I look easy because you treat me well?’

It was so unfamiliar to me that Lee Yeo-woon was angry at me, so


even when I lay down in bed, the sharp voice kept floating around in
my head.

Whether you are always irritated or ignored. Yeowoon’s gaze was


always directed towards him with a smile on his face…. Yeo-woon
was the first to look away, leaving himself unable to say anything as
his mind went blank. Ji-gu Yoon fell into a panic as he felt his heart
sinking to his feet.

‘hey.’

Why do you call me so rudely?

‘Why are you arguing with a passerby about something that doesn’t
matter?’

I’m the one who’s annoyed, but why are you so angry at me?

‘Why are you so angry all of a sudden?’

You don’t even know that. The reason was simple.

simple….

…uh?

Yun Ji-gu, who was trying to argue as if it was obvious, realized that
there was no particular reason that came to mind. And I tried to
think of a reason by carefully organizing the timeline in my head.

1. Lee Yeo-woon had already dragged another person into his secret
hobby without telling me.
2. Also, people from the company. Isn’t this really crazy?

3. I talked to him on the phone while watching my thoughts. There


was no doubt that he was trying to tell me on purpose.

4. As someone who has lived an ordinary life, I couldn’t understand


why I was living such a promiscuous life. Are all perverts like that?

conclusion.

Deliberately talking loudly on the phone to someone else to make


them jealous. I tried to force the slave who was in the house to
come out and show him. Originally, I didn’t plan on getting angry.
However, the eyes that looked at me calmly in front of other people
were so clean and clear that something broke out in me in that
moment.

Is this really how you date people? Even if I confessed with kind
words in the first place, I didn’t have the heart to accept it, but the
way I approached it was very wrong. That may be why he feels even
more sorry. In the first place, I have to like you even a little to cause
jealousy, because this kind of thing just scratches the inside of a
person. Aren’t you so stupid that you can’t even think of something
as simple as this?

Today, I hate Lee Yeowoon. I really, really hate what he does. As


Yeowoon said, it is true that he is angry with him.

The one who was disappointed was Yeo-woon, so I thought that if I


did this, Yeo-woon would smile first and come closer to me and
gently comfort me. Because it’s always been like that. When I was
out of my mind and enjoying some ice cream and getting some fresh
air, I happened to meet him again. Yeowoon got angry at me with a
stern look on his face. Ji-gu Yoon was taken aback by the situation
not going as expected, and felt confused by Yeo-woon’s changed
attitude.

The next day, Yeo-woon took out his anger on a character


resembling Yoon Ji-gu by dressing him in strange clothes and
making him half bald. It seemed funny to anyone, but Ji-gu Yoon
couldn’t help but laugh. That’s revenge on yourself. He was
hammering vigorously as he strengthened the item.

‘Crazy, do you want to beat me up?’

What are we going to do? Do you think you’re the only one who’s
mad at me? I got angry first. …But I don’t know why I’m so worried.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Why do you keep dressing me in strange clothes?

[Guild] neutaaaa: To speak

I put aside all my pride and spoke to him first, but he came back
with an insincere answer. I wanted to go next door and ask why you
were angry and not me. The cold expression I saw yesterday caught
my eye in a strange way.

[Couple] neutaaaa: The kid who was fine just a second ago suddenly
gets really angry.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Wasn’t there a reason?


I gave him a chance to think about it again, but Yeo-woon acted like
he didn’t know anything.

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㄱㄴㄲㅇ If there’s something that annoys me,


you can tell me the reason haha. But when I asked him why, he
didn’t say anything…

Well, it’s of no use if you tell yourself the reason. What if I feel like
I’m giving myself space? The method was wrong from the beginning.
Give up on me. You say you like me, but why do you leave me and
meet someone else?

In fact, at some point, Ji-gu Yoon felt that the reason he was angry
made no logical sense in the first place. Whether Lee Yeo-woon is
dating someone else or not, she doesn’t have any feelings for him,
so she doesn’t have to worry about it.

It’s not like I didn’t know about his hobbies in the first place. He
wanted to remain as a close brother and younger brother to Lee
Yeo-woon, but did not want to become a relationship between slave
and master. Things were good now. I didn’t want to lose Lee Yeo-
woon if we got into a different relationship. So I pushed him away
countless times and told him to come to his senses. I tried telling
him to give up on himself, but it clearly didn’t have any effect.

[Couple] neutaaaa: When I turn on the game in the morning, I


suddenly feel lost again haha.

When I was losing my senses due to the chaos running through my


head, Lee Yeo-woon told me that he was falling out of love with me.
How could it be Lee Yeo-woon, not anyone else? Has your mind
changed? My heart sank. If he decided not to like you anymore, that
would be welcome, but if the affection has fallen, it’s a different
story. Because that meant we couldn’t even be friends.

to…Well, probably not. That can’t be possible.

Soothing himself like that, Yun Ji-gu waited for weekdays to come.
Why is the swimming pool closed on Mondays? I deliberately sat in a
cafe all day hoping to meet him, but I couldn’t meet him on Monday,
probably because he went home while I was distracted.

On Tuesday afternoon, Ji-gu Yoon went into the swimming pool an


hour earlier than usual and waited for Yeo-woon Lee. But he didn’t
come to the swimming pool. While waiting for him, my fingers
became swollen and shriveled.

On Wednesday, Yeowoon finally showed up at the swimming pool.


Yun Ji-gu, who went in first and was warming up, gave him a look.
However, even though Yeowoon made eye contact with him, he
stared for a moment and then looked away.

‘what?’

Unlucky elementary school students flocked to him. Only then did he


smile and start dealing with elementary school students. I couldn’t
understand why the person who originally came up to me and said
hello before anyone else was pretending not to know me. He didn’t
even wait for Yun Ji-gu and left the swimming pool first. I came out
late and followed him, but Lee Yeo-woon didn’t even look back.

While I was walking home, the only thought that filled my mind was
‘Why?’ It was a question about Lee Yeo-woon, and it was also about
me caring so much about him. I felt sick because I hadn’t eaten
anything all day. The back of Lee Yeowoon’s head was so round that
it gave him a headache. I hate him so much. It wasn’t me who was
at fault.

Let’s pay attention. I need to stop caring. …But it really wasn’t my


fault. Yun Ji-gu was comforting himself like that, and when the
distance between him and Yeo-woon narrowed significantly, he
grabbed his forearm. Yeowoon wasn’t surprised at all and turned to
me and said.

“Do you have something to say?”

“….”

“If you don’t have it, let it go.”

It can’t go on like this. He wasn’t intentionally pretending to be angry


in hopes of being recognized. A vague feeling of anxiety that I might
end up becoming a stranger to him soared. Whether or not I
misunderstood because of the feelings he had for me, I had to
resolve the frustration first.

“Brother….”

You were wrong first. I wanted to say that, but as soon as I saw
myself in those round eyes, I felt a sense of resentment. I didn’t
want to get angry.

“… I was worried.”
“I?”

Is it okay to say this? Wouldn’t that sound too presumptuous? Yun


Ji-gu hesitated slightly.

“Why didn’t you come to the swimming pool yesterday? Why don’t
you come to the cafe again? “I just kept waiting.”

But the mouth moved as it pleased. Thoughts come out instinctively


without going through the brain.

“Don’t talk to me about other people. Even if you get a strange


phone call, don’t answer it in front of me.”

“….”

“My brother was talking to me at that time. But why do you…. You’d
rather introduce me to someone or let’s play together. That’s what I
say. I hate it, I really, really hate it, that kind of thing. I don’t like it
that way.”

I tried my best to convey my meaning clearly, but not to sound like I


was being too pushy. I tried to act as calm as possible, but I wonder
how Yeo-woon heard what I said. I was really curious about that.

“Earth. you.”

Yeowoon, who had been quietly listening to me, hesitated for a while
and then asked.
“… Do you like me?”

“no.”

“….”

“I’m not.”

Afraid that he might feel like he was giving leeway, Ji-gu Yoon
deliberately and firmly answered by tightening his neck. Yeowoon
looked up at me with shaking eyes at my words and smiled faintly. It
was the first smile I saw in a few days. The worries that had been
clumping inside me melted away like melting snow.

“I see. okay.”

Are you hurt by my words?

“Still, calling it shit was a bit harsh.”

“….”

That’s right. I’m hurt…. I felt a little sorry.

“Don’t swear.”

But it really sucked, so what should I do? Jigu Yoon nodded roughly.
“The kid is very jealous….”

Yeowoon muttered. It was nonsense. Are you jealous?

“…No! Something like that.”

“uh? “I’m talking to myself.”

“I make you listen to everything I say to myself every day.”

Jigu Yoon grumbled. Perhaps because we hadn’t spoken or seen


each other for several days, I felt embarrassed even saying this.

Growling.

“…!”

“….”

I had no appetite so I skipped meals. Maybe that’s why I heard my


stomach growling. Yeo-woon couldn’t hold back and burst into small
laughter. Heat rose to my face.

“Don’t laugh.”

“Are you very hungry?”

“Don’t laugh.”
“I’m going to order dinner. Would you like to eat it at my house
together?”

“… What are you going to eat?”

“I’ll have to think about it.”

Yeo-woon even hummed as if asking when he was angry and


grabbed Yoon Ji-gu’s wrist and led him away. Yun Ji-gu was inwardly
relieved as he was dragged helplessly by him. The maple trees in
the park are slowly starting to bud. Perhaps because it is a very cold
day, the wrist held by Yeowoon feels particularly hot.

Were you too nervous to talk to your brother? Ji-gu Yoon raised his
free hand and pressed it to his chest to catch his breath. My heart
has been pounding since before. To a strange degree.
#Hidden Track.
Unrequited Love Diary

Kim Chae-min.

When purchasing, please contact 010-XXXX-XXXX.

(It is a half-filled diary. The names B and J occupy a large portion of


the early diary. Some of the front pages are torn and the corners are
tattered.)

March 15, XX.

Ah…. Yesterday, I met my ideal type at the Shinhwan meeting where


I was forcibly dragged away. Not only did he look good, but he also
had a great personality, so I kept catching my eye. Moreover, as I
moved my seat, I happened to end up sitting next to him. Actually, I
don’t even know how I acted. I wanted to ask his name, but I
couldn’t. All I remember was my shoulder touching every time he
reached out to eat the snack in front of me. Oh fuck…. What if I
look like a nerd?

It seems like unrequited love has begun again. If this is going to be


the case, I might just want to date…. First of all, you have to agree
with someone to date. Anyway, I found someone I will like for the
time being. Whether I read the diary later and regret it or burn it, I
feel like I have to scribble it down first to get rid of my anger…I think
I will continue to use it.

March 18, XX.

crazy! He remembered me. Suddenly, in the classroom, he


pretended to know that he was a senior and I thought he was
suffocating to death. Only he has a different drawing style than other
kids. Did it come out of a romance comic? I don’t watch romance
comics haha.

I had a clear conversation with that kid today. How did he come to
have a pretty name? From now on, it will be collectively referred to
as Y.

Y takes liberal arts classes with me, and he lives in the room next to
the dormitory. Why didn’t I know about this kid before? From now
on, I need to look at people instead of just the ground.

March 20, XX.

We exchanged numbers. I’ve been looking at the Talk profile


pictures all day. It’s sad that my profile history only shows up to a
year ago. Y in school uniform is really, really cute. Is this unrequited
love? Fuck, I should try dating too. Just looking at the three letters
of Y’s name makes me so fucking happy…It’s been a while since I
tasted it again.

April 15, XX.


We studied together at the library all day.

I came wearing too little clothes and said it was cold, so Y lent me
his clothes. But I was shocked by how good the scent was. It was
obvious that it smelled like fabric softener, but it felt like I was
smelling it all day like a real pervert.

I’m curious what shampoo you use…. You probably think I’m a
pervert, right? I’ll have to ask on the internet.

April 20, XX. The cherry blossoms have all fallen.

Y said thank you for lending me the family tree and bought me some
bread.

Really touching…I will keep it as an heirloom.ㅠ

May 30, XX.

I had forgotten, but there was a strange smell coming from


somewhere.

The bread was rotten.

damn

June 2, XX.
Y keeps lending me his things.

And in the evening, he comes to my dorm room to collect something


he lent me, and it seems like he’s doing this on purpose.

Is this green light?

June 18, XX.

If Y keeps making eye contact during the lecture, he smiles.


Normally, I hate it when men make eye contact, but Y is something
different. Are you just doing this to me? .

July 6, XX.

Ah, the vacation is so fucking long.

When does the semester start?

September 5, XX.

Y’s face glows as he wonders what he did during the vacation.

And to me…! He asked sullenly, “Why didn’t we chat during


vacation?”

Although I didn’t talk to him, I almost said that I was watching his
profile picture change from time to time, but I barely held back.
Is Y also mine?

October 1, XX.

Hmm, it seems like Y likes me too. ;; He keeps asking me to study


for exams with him and asking if I have a genealogy book. He’s so
cute that I’m dying. It seems like he doesn’t want to study, he just
wants to be with me. There are plenty of other seniors, but it is clear
that they are doing this because they are singling out me. I don’t
think this unrequited love will fail. We had a library date all day today
too!

October 5, XX.

Y bought me coffee to thank me for the genealogy.

I drank it right away to prevent it from spoiling. I can’t sleep…

November 3, XX.

There was ‘Friend Confession’ in Y’s mobile phone search history. It


looks like he’s going to confess to me soon.

I like unrequited love, so I’ve never dated anyone…Should I accept


this? LOL

I’m worried.

November 18, XX.


Not yet? He calls me out often, but he only drinks every time.

Are you hesitating?

November 24, XX.

Fuck.

I heard that Y started dating his middle school classmate. When he


showed me that he had a girlfriend, I bit my tongue and wanted to
die. Without even knowing that, I just thought Y liked me. Just
looking at Y made me feel suicidal, so I blocked the chat. I solved it
a few times because I was curious, but I really won’t solve it
anymore.

(More than half of the paper is torn.)

November 28, XX.

This life is falling apart without any answers. It seems like a problem
that can be solved by not looking at your phone.

If this happens, I should go to the military quickly and come back.


I’m crying ㅠ

(The writing is crooked.)

December 7, XX.
Am I crazy? I think I signed up for military service out of anger after
drinking, but I don’t remember a single thing; I never dreamed that I
would enlist in the military so quickly. These crazy people say there
is no military T.O., I don’t want to go to the military ㅠㅠ

December 20, XX.

I shaved my head

I feel bad because I’m so picky.

April 1, XX.

These days, the little guys keep coming at me because they have
some free time. Military life sucks more than Y having a girlfriend. I
want to have chicken. I want to lie in bed and do nothing. I miss Y.

August 4, XX.

While I was having drinks with my classmates while on vacation, the


topic of Y came up. A guy who doesn’t have a lover doesn’t think
about going to the meeting.

Did you break up with your girlfriend? Who kicked it?

December 25, XX.

This unrequited love lasts a particularly long time. Time passes, but
he is never forgotten.
I’m curious about the news about Y. How are you?

August 1, XX.

what.

I was going to go back to school right away, but Y also went to the
military.

Damn timing…. I miss you

Y is exempt from military service

(Several pages are torn.)

February 1, XX.

It’s been a really long time since I wrote a diary.

This means that I haven’t thought about Y for a while.

It suddenly occurred to me when I heard the Y students talking


about their graduation ceremony.

Will Y come on graduation day?

February 10, XX.


go or not. I’m fine now, but I wonder if I’m feeling glum for no
reason….

Will he remember me?

Oh fuck I don’t know….

(From now on, the letters are blackened and no longer visible.)

February 23, XX. weather clear

(Slightly shaken photo)

Y’s smile was still the same. Even though I wore the same
graduation cap and cape, I was the only one who stood out.

The person I liked hasn’t changed at all. The only thing that changed
was me.

It is entirely up to me to organize my thoughts alone.

My heart no longer races when I see that child. On the day I ended
my unrequited love, I thought I would cry all day, but I wasn’t. On the
contrary, I was so relieved that I just kept laughing.

My unrequited love is over.

Today I was able to put an end to it.


October 1, XX.

Fuck…I guess I really have the type for unrequited love. I never
thought I would take out this diary again.

Another child caught my eye. They say you can’t give a dog bad
habits, but he’s also a year younger….

No, and why is he taking care of me like this? Really…

Hey, even if you drink with me, you’ll eventually find a girlfriend,
right?

Everyone in the world is dating except me. I really want to die….

October 3, XX. ???

…I slept with A drunk.

I pretended I didn’t remember and ran away, but the calls kept
coming. Are you crazy?

October 4, XX.

Ah, I want to pay for a leave of absence, but they won’t refund my
tuition….

ㅅㅂChildren’s school
October 7, XX

?????

I decided to go out with A today….

What is this?ㅜㅜ

A said he has been watching me for a long time, but I am seeing


him for the first time this year.

It gave me goosebumps a little, but it actually felt kind of good. I’ll


have to ask what it is later.

My first love at this age…I want to die.

End of unrequited love…?

(The paper is wrinkled. It looks like someone crumpled it on


purpose.)

Fuck…What is this.

What kind of bastards are B, J, and Y?


#06.
Turning Point

Since Saturday morning, several very large delivery boxes had been
piled up in front of Jigu Yoon’s house. Among them, some boxes
were opened and disassembled, while others looked like they had
just arrived.

“Did you buy new furniture?”

What on earth did you buy so much for? After going to the
convenience store, Yeowoon tilted her head and returned home. For
the past few days, when I leave the window open, I often hear the
sound of something falling next door, so it may be that Jigu Yoon
has developed a hobby of changing the layout of the room.

I wondered what on earth they were doing to make it so loud. Do


you mind if I ask you to show it later? The house next door has a
duplex unlike ours. What’s on the upper floor? Since I live alone, I
also wanted to know why I live in such a large house.

***
Since the morning of the weekend, people have been gathering at
the game and doing their own thing. Thanks to the ‘Autumn of
Abundance’ event that was recently held ahead of Chuseok, the
village seemed more lively than ever. Yeowoon, like everyone else,
walked around the village wearing a hat with an orange mushroom
with white spots on it.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I’m currently collecting dungeon


stone newbies in front of Horntail.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: I met people wearing the same clothes as
Newta hahaha

“…!”

Yeo-woon, who had been looking at the auction house while leaning
roughly on a chair, sat up straight at those words.

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: You’re being rude again, haha. Newbies,


please go back to the dungeon again?

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Do you have time left? At times like that, I
would dig up mushrooms.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I think I’ve cut more than
cockroaches, right?

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: I guess not?

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: I guess that’s right? How many do you have?
The two decided to tell at the same time the ‘number of mushrooms
canned so far’ calculated in the quest window. The Halloween
eggplant counted down ‘3, 2, 1’, and the winner was Cat Meow
Meow Meow Meow Meow.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Not too bad!!!

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: No way

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: You don’t dig mushrooms, you newbies only
work as bus drivers. How come you do more cams than me?

[Guild] al0ha: Cat, you were digging mushrooms until late in the
morning yesterday too haha. It’s good to see you working hard at
the game bb

After reaching max level these days, Kitty Nyang Na Nyang said that
there was no content to play, so she started creating her own
content and enjoying it. He enjoyed shadowing newbies in town,
helping them level up and adapt to the game.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Kitty, just sleep.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Hahahahahahahaha

And sometimes, when I saw a newbie wearing a cat cat cape, I had
a lingering feeling. Yeo-woon quickly ran over, took money out of the
bank, and went to the cat’s location.

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Here you go


[All] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ

When I arrived in front of the beginner dungeon <Horntail’s Wrath>,


I saw two beginner characters wearing black cloaks behind Cat
Meow Meow Meow. As soon as they saw Yeo-woon, they raised
their fists, and Yeo-woon imitated their actions and applied for a
deal.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Newta is giving money to refugees again


hahaha

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Even if I try to stop you, you say so, so
just leave it alone…

[Guild] al0ha: I can’t believe there are two bigots in our guild lol.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I have nothing to do and I’m bored
so I’m doing this.

Are you bored so you play bus driver for beginners all day? No way.
Yeowoon shook his head. There is only one fan in this guild. Cat cat
cat cat. He was just showing his sincerity to people he was happy to
see, and did not target all beginners.

Every time the guild members saw Yeo-woon giving pocket money
to beginners, they made fun of him, calling him a tycoon, but he
wasn’t the type of person to throw away money, and it was okay to
not have this since it was only small amounts of money.

[All] Forest Spirit: Hehehe, thank you.


[All] Spirit Forest: I’ll use it well ㅇㅁㅇ!!

[All] neutaaaa: ㄱㅊㄱㅊ

Yeo-woon only conveyed what he wanted to convey and coolly used


the capsule to return to the village.

[Whispering] Forest Spirit: neu, you did Little Foret.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Yes haha

[Whispering] Forest Spirit: I knew that would happen haha. I also got
the Holy Spirit’s Cloak as soon as I started playing this game.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahaha me too

I was happy again for no reason. The name of the item symbolizing
stagnant water in Little Forest 2 was ‘Holy Spirit’s Cloak.’ And the
people who passed the game wore dark cloaks that looked the most
similar to those in Illusion.

[Whispering] Forest Spirit: But do you know that? Little Fore is


having a comeback event right now. In just two hours, they will
sprinkle 10 perennial herbs and even offer condolences haha.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Eh, eternal herb?

[Whispering] Forest Spirit: ㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ


The story of the perennial herb caught my eye before the cultural
gift certificate. Even if you have a lot of money, it was difficult to
obtain the Permanent Herb, which is an essential item to increase
your abilities at high levels, as it was not for sale.

“….”

Even though I folded it, I still felt regretful about it. I lost my love for
the game and deleted it completely…. Should I try installing it again?
Now that I think about it, I folded the items without organizing them
at all. The restaurant where my character worked was the biggest
server. I also wondered if it was still there.

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Thank you for the information haha

[Whispering] Forest Spirit: ㅇㅇHappy game haha.

After all, favor returns as favor.

When Yeowoon first started playing Illusion, he also received a lot of


help from other people. It was my intention to return the favor I had
received from them. Although I occasionally met strange people,
most of them did not hesitate to give me items for free. Yeowoon felt
really proud when he received thanks or saw that they liked him.

At that time, I heard the sound of water drops coming from my


phone. It was the voice of Whole Blue’s message arrival.

「Earth: ㅇ」
I thought I had sent it by mistake, but there was a connecting sign
next to the name of the planet Earth. The idea was to make a voice
call in the morning. It seemed like he was planning on solving all the
daily quests for the fall event in the morning. Since the fall gathering
event applies to parties, it is more efficient to gather with several
people.

-Is your brother here?

As soon as Yeowoon connected to Whole Blue, Earthstar recognized


him as if he were a ghost and started talking to him. His voice was
more subdued than usual. I got the answer when I saw him clear his
throat while speaking.

“Earth, you’re awake now.”

-I slept late last night, right? Why are you saying this in the morning?

I didn’t say anything specifically? I’m complaining because I’m being


stabbed by myself for no reason. As Yeowoon chuckled, Earth Star
cleared her throat as if embarrassed.

-What about you?

“Eight o’clock.”

-Wow, I woke up really early in the morning….

“Nonsense. How can eight o’clock be dawn?”


-Oh, I don’t know. for a moment…. I’m in the middle of a game. Just
wait a moment.

As Earthstar said that, it made a sound like tapping on a keyboard.


Not long after, a message appeared on the monitor saying that
Earth was connected.

‘ㅈi9Star has accessed the game.’

[Guild] Ji9 Star: Good morning! >_<

[Guild] neutaaaa: haha

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Is it lunch? After twelve o’clock

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahaha, cat cat is really good at hitting seconds.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Can’t you see the clock?;;

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Haha, I don’t want to hear this from a middle school
graduate ㅇ_ㅇ

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Even my cousin knows how to read
the clock haha he’s five years old.

“Why are we fighting again in the morning?”


When Yeo-woon stopped him due to the loud sound of the keyboard,
Earth Star stopped dealing with Cat Meow Meow Meow for a
moment. Anyway, sometimes, the two seem to get along well, but
they bicker often. At first, Nyannyangnyangnyang, who was only
patient, seemed to have moved on to Earth and was now quite
capable of fighting back. I don’t know if I should call this a good
change….

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Earth Star, are you awake now?

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Hahaha

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋ Daily Quest ㄱ

‘Ji9 Star invited you to the party. Do you want to accept it?’

Yeo-woon immediately pressed the accept button, and soon even


Wandu Wandya and Park Hwi-bug were invited to the party. The
members were the same as those who went around the server and
collected mushrooms last night.

Yeowoon changed the operation method to the gathering key by


pressing the F2 key. When I used the gathering key that I had
moved to the shift key, the mushroom growing in front of Yeo-woon
was pulled out with a popping sound. If there are four people,
starting from the aquarium and going around all the worlds once, the
daily quest will be roughly completed.

-Hmm….
It seemed like he actually called Whole Blue as soon as he woke up.
I knew it because I could faintly hear a yawn in my ear.

“If you’re sleepy, sleep more.”

-I also wanted to sleep more….

Earthstar’s tone of voice was full of drowsiness as he trailed off his


words.

[Party] Pea Wandya: Breakfast on Earth?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Roughly

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Hmm! Escape in the middle

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Haha

I thought he was concerned about whether I had eaten breakfast,


but he meant not to leave the table midway.

-I ate bread….

“suddenly?”

-In case you are curious.


Earthstar muttered. Yeo-woon responded to his words, “I ate fried
rice.” And I roughly agreed. Otherwise, the planet Earth would be
upset. The four people who gathered in front of the aquarium’s stone
tower began to run to the right together under a tacit agreement. If a
party member is too far away, gathering cannot be shared, so an
appropriate distance must always be maintained.

-brother. Eat the mushrooms that fall to the bottom.

Yeowoon ran under the Earth Star flying above and picked up the
purple mushroom he had dropped. Earthstar, wearing a mushroom
hat, did a back tumble and threw a spear at the mushroom monster
that appeared on the field.

Because it is an event monster, its attack power is 0, but the giant


poisonous mushroom has a large body and is not easily killed even if
several people attack it. Yeowoon, who was hitting mushrooms
without saying a word, suddenly had a question.

“Why aren’t Pea and Cockroach invited to Voice?”

-ah…. Do I really have to do it?

“Shall I ask you something?”

-no.

Earth Star spoke firmly. And then he quickly added.


-Well, ah, I only need to communicate with my brother…. So there is
no need. My brother always leaks in strange places, right? If I don’t
tell you to come, I’m just doing stupid things on the map. Because
other people do it well without saying anything.

“….”

-Nothing to say. It really stings, right?

I was stabbed. But that’s just because I have good concentration.


Compared to the guild members who skimmed the map, Yeo-woon
had to pick up all the visible mushrooms meticulously to satisfy his
curiosity…. So, I had to say, ‘Brother, let’s move on to the next map’
to be able to barely follow them.

-Meow.

“…?”

Yeowoon was startled. …Earthstar suddenly made a cat sound in a


thin voice. What is he doing?

-Oh, go away. You played with me.

Suddenly the voice became distant, and the sound of a cat was
heard mixed with the voice of the Earth. Fortunately, it seems that
the planet Earth hasn’t gone crazy enough to suddenly make cat
noises.

“Earthstar, do you have a cat?”


-….

Earth Star is nothing special, but he pauses for a moment and says,
“Ah, yes. Grow it.” I muttered softly.

“I like it too.”

-uh?!

“cat. Why are you surprised?”

-ah, …ah. cat.

I don’t know what I’m thinking alone. Are you still half asleep? The
Earth Star was silent for a while and then spoke softly.

- Raise it.

“Is it worth it to be so lazy? “It looks cute.”

-I don’t know if it’s cute, but does it look a bit good for a cat?

“….”

Yeowoon was speechless. You can just say it’s cute. It’s the first
time I’ve ever seen someone praise a cat like that. Earth Star
Yeowoon didn’t say anything and said, ‘Ah….’ When I let out an
exclamation, it seemed like he misunderstood that he sympathized
with what I was saying.

-I woke up in the morning because he suddenly headbutted me for


food. I tried to sleep more, but I don’t want to be lazy….

And then he started talking about the cat behind my back. I heard
the cat’s meow moving away from the grumbling voice. I’ve never
raised an animal before, so I don’t know much about it, but just
hearing its cries made me think it was very cute.

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: ㄱㄷ Something came to the security room


and I’ll be right back.

The party, which was going well for a while, was paused for a
moment at Park Hwibeol-rae’s time sign. Earth Star left, saying she
would bring some water, and Wandu Wandya also disappeared,
saying she would go to the bathroom. As I was wondering what to
do with Yeo-woon, who was left alone, I suddenly opened the
Internet window when I saw a black cloak waving on my shoulder.

‘Little Forest 2’

He started downloading games from a website he hadn’t seen in a


while.

***
Little Foret, which I turned on after a long time, looked the same on
the outside. Several mails had arrived from users asking if they had
really been folded, and the fountain plaza, which was always
crowded, was quite quiet. It’s really a complete mess. Yeo-woon
started looking through returning user events that said they would
give out items.

“…what. You really give me a lot?”

Are you no longer using perennial herbs?

When I opened the status window and checked, the abilities were
still centered on ‘production’ and ‘status granting’. When I pressed
the ‘Enhance Abilities’ button, a notification that I needed a perennial
herb appeared.

The comeback event was for accounts that had not been logged in
for 6 months. It was written that in order to receive the eternal herb,
you must form a party and kill the Great Golem five times to
complete it. And you could get an attendance event that gave you a
cultural gift certificate by just checking attendance for a week.

“But if you want to catch the golem, you have to save the party
first.”

It’s been a while since I came here and I couldn’t figure out anything.

-What is a golem?
“Oh, what a surprise!”

-What is a golem? What are you talking about earlier?

Earth Star asked, not knowing when she returned. Yeo-woon


returned to the illusion game window and ran away from Earth Star,
who was swinging a spear at me. However, Earth Star caught up
with the lingering energy in just one second and sat down next to
her.

-What were you doing just now?

“I was watching because there was a Little Foret comeback event.”

-Little Foret?

“It’s a game we played before.”

-….

After hearing Yeowoon’s words, Earth Star closed her mouth. Even
the character who was flying around, begging for an answer, just
stood there calmly in front of Yeo-woon and just blinked.

-What are you doing?

After a while, he burst out laughing as if it was absurd.


-…Don’t be distracted. Why are you talking about other games in
front of me?

“…?”

-I did a good job.

“yes…?”

-For some reason, the contact rate is low these days and it seems a
bit dull. I knew it would be like this.

No, what does this mean?

-You’re not going to give up illusions, are you?

“yes?”

-Are you going to fold it?

Yeowoon was embarrassed. I felt like I was being interrogated by


the constant barrage of questions. Ji-gu Yoon repeated the same
question two more times as Yeo-woon hesitated. What does it
matter whether I quit or not? Yeowoon muttered shakily.

“They said they were giving away really expensive items….”

-I quit the game, why do I need the item?


“….”

That was correct. I don’t need it right now. However, I thought it


would be a bit of a loss not to take the herb given away for free. I
might sell it later, or I might actually use it, right? Yeowoon thought
deeply and opened his mouth.

“Think about it. Earth Star later gave up illusions.”

-why. I’m going to bury my bones in the illusion. There won’t be any
need to fold it before it’s done, right?

You stupid bastard. I knew that too. People really don’t know what to
do. I never thought I would wake up and find that my game had
been messed up.

“I’m not really telling you to quit, it’s just an example, so listen to it
first.”

-Yes, whatever.

“I think it’s been over a year since they closed Illusion. But suddenly,
they are giving out coupons for exchanging mounted items to
returning users. What do you want to do?”

At Yeowoon’s words, Earth Star was deeply lost in thought. And


after a while, he asked vaguely.

-…How much speed?


fool. I never thought I would be convinced so quickly. Yeowoon
chuckled.

“It’s the fastest vehicle among the current vehicles.”

- Crazy, then wouldn’t it be rude not to accept it?

“Right?”

-…So once you get the item you won’t do it again?

“maybe?”

-What is that vague answer? .

“If it’s fun, you can keep doing it.”

As I said, it probably won’t happen. If you look at the fact that there
are still people who still fall for Illusion, that game is truly a failure.
The people who are still playing are poor people who can’t let go of
the game because of affection or memories.

-hmm….

Yeowoon picked the mushrooms that had sprouted under Earthstar’s


feet and waited for Earthstar to continue speaking. The earth
character’s bright blue eyes blinked intermittently in sync with the
atmospheric motion.
-then…If I install Little Foret now, can I go with my brother?

“…?”

-Stop picking mushrooms. If I download the game now, will you


come with me?

“…why?”

I really didn’t understand. I’m going to return soon after winning the
return event, but Earth is starting a whole new game?

-that…Just curious what other games look like?

Earth Star cleared her throat and barely answered. But saying I was
curious was not a sufficient answer. If you’re curious, you’ve
probably tried it a long time ago. There was something strange
about speaking slowly. What is Earth’s plan? Yeowoon thought
deeply. And I remembered that Earth Star had asked me earlier,
‘Are you going to give up Illusion?’ or ‘If you just get the items, are
you going to stop playing that game?’ This guy couldn’t be….

“Are you coming to spy on me? “Are you afraid I’ll give up Illusion?”

-…what.

Earth Star answered Yeo-woon’s words in a rough tone. It seems


like he hit the nail on the head. Two party members who had been
away came back and waved their weapons at Yeowoon and Earth
Byul, indicating that they should move on to the next map. The Earth
Star flew through the air first, passed through the map first, and
disappeared. Yeo-woon followed behind Park Hwi-rae and seriously
thought about Earth-star’s words.

Unlike Illusion, Little Foret was a game where you changed jobs to a
specific job, got a job somewhere in town, and worked steadily to
raise your abilities. Among them, Yeowoon took the processed
product manufacturing route and became a chef.

Due to the nature of the game, I tended to greet regular users who
came often even if they were not in a guild. Those who frequented
the restaurant were those on the hunting route. They mostly hung
out together as guild members, and they often asked Yeowoon why
he didn’t join the guild. Yeowoon consistently answered that guild
content was annoying every time.

After Little Foret did that, everyone came to Illusion in a group, while
Yeowoon was alone from the beginning. Of course, I’m doing well
now that I’ve somehow ended up in Poseidon.

Maybe that’s why I suddenly thought about what it would be like if


Earth, the planet I was closest to, came to Little Forest. It felt
awkward to think that I was playing with a friend in a game I had
always played solo.

But the more I thought about it, the more I thought it wouldn’t be
that bad. Above all, in Little Foret, Yeo-woon is at max level, and
Earth Star is at very low level….

“Then, after we finish our work today, do you want to install a game
so we can play together?”
-what. Because I have nothing to do today.

Earth Star spoke as if she was being generous, but it didn’t bother
her at all. No, I was actually looking forward to it. This was because
Yeowoon also had a new goal.

-They say they are downloading resources.

“already? “Once everything is installed, let me know when choosing


a server.”

Yeowoon lifted the corners of his mouth and laughed quietly. The
day of revenge has finally arrived. Here, even though I was an Earth
Star jumping around like a fish out of water, I was a beginner who
was nothing once I went through the illusion.

I’ll grind it to your heart’s content….

***

Ji-gu Yoon sighed as he looked at the army of black cloaks


surrounding him wearing short sleeves and shorts. They were
anxious to give Yun Ji-gu pocket money, applying for transactions
one after another. Even in Illusion, it was unsightly to see them
seem so close, but it was even worse in this game.
‘New mail has arrived.’

‘New mail has arrived.’

<Arirang>: Baby, let’s go~

<Zero>: I’m a newbie. If I don’t take the money my brother gives


me, I’ll be like this guy.

<Cheche>: Sing a song!

<Kuukuu>: Is he really a newbie? Are you salty?

<ㅈi9Star>: Ugh, I’m not a newbie haha this is a subchame>_<haha

Yun Ji-gu, who thought calming them down was the priority, tried to
lie.

‘Slayer <Zero> has bound you.’

“…!”

My body doesn’t move.

<Zero>: I don’t care if it sticks outㅜㅜ Let’s stay together…♥

<Arirang>: I can’t take the restraints off lol I feel like I’m a newbie
<Seche>: ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ contribution ♥♥♥♥

<Kuukuuu>: Hahahaha, get a deal, you idiot.

“Brother, where are you?”

They were greatly outnumbered. I would have dealt with only one or
two people, but even at first glance, there seemed to be more than
twenty people. Ji-gu Yoon was shocked by the obsession of users
for no apparent reason.

‘New mail has arrived.’

‘New mail has arrived.’

Meanwhile, I couldn’t figure out how to block the mailbox. I was able
to quickly find and block the transaction function, but my body was
unable to move due to some kind of restraint.

It is natural for any game to welcome new users. However, it


seemed like the first time I had seen so many crazy newbies gather
for this game. He showed interest just because he showed up in
town in his underwear, but when he guessed that he was really a
Sprout user, he even brought in his acquaintances and surrounded
Ji-gu Yoon. In most cases, I would have told them to get out of the
way and sent them back, but there were too many of them.

Where on earth is Neuta? Even though I wiped my eyes and


searched for the nickname that appeared above the heads of the
swarming cloaked guys, the letters ‘neutaaaa’ were not there.
“When are you coming? “I can’t move.”

<Kwak Kwak Dirara>: Chumcheoba

<Zero>: Earth star, my brother will untie you for 5 seconds, so do


you want to dance? Haha

“Where is my brother?”

I heard Yeowoon laughing in my ear. It must have been nearby. Why


aren’t you helping me while I’m watching? How did I end up in this
situation? Yun Ji-gu sighed softly.

I was really angry when they said they would install a game called
Little. It’s a game I don’t really want to know or know much about,
but the thought of Yeowoon Lee suddenly moving into unknown
territory made me feel anxious.

<asdfasdf>: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

“…?”

The nickname that anyone could see was created without sincerity,
and it suddenly caught my eye during the entire chat. While
everyone had a two-letter or Korean nickname, ‘asdfasdf’ was the
only one with alphabets listed without meaning. The instinct came
immediately. That’s Newta.

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Press shift twice to release the binding.


As he said, I pressed the shift key twice and my body became free.
Ji-gu Yoon was good at avoiding attacks and running away with just
control. However, it didn’t take long before he was tied up by another
user and was stranded. No matter how good his control ability was,
it was not enough for Yoon Ji-gu, who had only started 5 minutes
ago, to avoid the stagnant water that had long since reached max
level. Why was bondage made possible in normal villages? This is
why the game is ruined. Meanwhile, Yeowoon Lee was giggling as if
he was out of breath.

“Ah, what are you doing? What do you need to be able to move?
asdf This is my brother. Why is your nickname like this?”

-If you dance, I will take you with me.

It’s a shame.

“… How do you dance?”

Let’s just do it roughly and get out of here. I answered with that in
mind, and Yeowoon giggled again. Even though it was clear that he
was making fun of me, I didn’t feel bad for some reason. The sound
of laughter was tickling.

/ear/<asdfasdf>: As soon as you release the binding with the shift


key, hit the tab key repeatedly.

After hearing those words, Ji-gu Yoon pressed the Shift key twice
and then immediately pressed the Tab key. The sky-blue haired
beginner character ‘ㅈi9Star’ started dancing hula, waving his hands
left and right. Then the black cloaks that were clinging to me moved
back, distanced themselves, and stared at me dancing. As Tsetse
and Kuukuu started clapping, the others also started clapping along.

<Kuukuuu>: Hahahahahaha, are you really a newbie-masm?? Who


teaches you how to dance?

‘New mail has arrived.’

<Kwak Dirara>: You donated 50 million star balloons!!!!

<Zero>: No hahahahahahahahahaha

<Cheche>: You donated 1 million star balloons!

<Lucky game>: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

When are you going to take me away? Jigu Yoon only stared at
‘asdfasdf’. Then, ‘asdfasdf’, who was clapping in the crowd at the
back, stood up, summoned a black horse, and rode on top of it. He
snatched my character and put him in the back. And the other users
started running without any time to follow. Ji-gu Yoon, who was
already feeling frustrated by the insanely slow speed of the newly
created character, felt much relieved after tasting the power of the
boarding item.

<Zero>: Did you come back?? yep

<Code>: ㅁㄴㅇㄹ?
<Zero>: There are only two people on our server with dark magic,
Mm and two graduate students!

<Zero>: ㅁㄴㅇㄹ kidnapped the newbie just now;;

<Chache>: Huh?? I just didn’t see it, but it’s really hot?

<Chache>: They started an event with medicinal herbs and they


really came back one by one haha.

<Kuukuu>: Huh, then ㅁㄴㅇㄹ is selling food today?;;

As I walked away from the crazy guys, the entire chat was displayed
in the lower left corner. Yoon Ji-gu looked at Chat and Lee Yeo-
woon’s characters alternately with puzzled eyes. When ‘asdf’ was
converted to Korean, it was ‘ㅁㄴㅇㄹ’. What they were talking about
must have been a lingering feeling.

Similar words were said over and over again as I was forced onto a
horse and traversed an unfamiliar map. There were quite a few
people who recognized the afterglow. When I first met him, he was a
newbie who knew nothing.

How did this game come to be? The relationship between users was
much stronger than necessary. Even the guys who came over
through illusion tend to stick together, and when they meet, they
hand out items for no reason and raise their fists to greet each
other.
When asked if they knew each other, Yeo-woon said, ‘No? ‘I just
gave it to you to show you the cape,’ he replied, and when other
capes met Yeo-woon, they first showed their favor by using the
money-throwing skill.

“Hyung, what is it that everyone recognizes?”

-I also saw a nickname that looked familiar to me. Since this is a


completely stagnant game, everyone remembers everything as
much as possible.

Yeowoon muttered calmly. But in Yun Ji-gu’s opinion, that didn’t


seem to be the case. There’s no way you’d get a reaction like, ‘He’s
back?’ just because he looks familiar. So, if it turns out that Yeo-
woon is ‘asdfasdf’, wouldn’t more strange people be attracted to
Illusion?

‘We have to stop it….’

Yun Ji-gu thought about that without thinking before coming to his
senses.

“…?”

We have to stop it. Why did you think that? What’s more, I suddenly
felt down. However, unable to even guess the reason, Ji-gu Yoon
just stared at the monitor for a long time with a distraught
expression on his face.
***

-This is the main city. In terms of illusion, it is like Isis.

Perhaps because the game is closer to real-life action than Illusion, I


didn’t get bored looking around the map. I wouldn’t have thought of
that if I had gone alone, but it seemed like it was because Yeowoon
explained to me what this was and what that was.

‘This guy isn’t reading any fairy tales. ‘Why is your voice so good?’

It was good, but I was annoyed for no reason. Not knowing why,
Jigu Yoon started shaking his legs.

-This is the restaurant I worked at before.

“It’s a game, why are you working?”

-You have to work to earn money.

eww…. What do you even work for, even in games? Ji-gu Yoon was
disgusted in his mind so that Yeo-woon could not hear. Unlike
Illusion, Little Forest allowed the game to be progressed through
crafting rather than hunting. According to Yeo-un, if you choose a
job through the crafting route, new quests will open up for crop
gathering or item combination instead of hunting quests. Although
the game genre is similar to Illusion, the system is very different, so
it was interesting.
<Sue me if you tie me up and lock me up>: ㅁㄴㅇㄹ, are you doing
business todayㅠㅠ

<asdfasdf>: It’s been a while since I came here and the restaurant is
closed lol.

<Warehouse 23424>: Mr. Eng, please come back??

<Tongoliharkon>: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠEveryone is coming


back

<Giant Baby>: 121981987498th day of deodorizing a crowded


manga game

Everyone, get out of here. Why are there so many people who know
Lee Yeowoon? Everyone is happy to see me just passing by,
wondering what on earth I was doing wandering around. Could it be
that they were grabbing random people and throwing money or
items at them like they did in Illusion? Considering that I was
surrounded by crazy idiots as soon as I first entered the game, it
was a possibility.

Yeowoon was still riding his horse and greeting people. At that time,
a person riding the same horse suddenly approached and stood in
front of Yeo-woon.

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Wow, sous chef, it’s been


a whileㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-uh?
‘Your Dream is a Graduate Student’ was a female character whose
entire body was decorated with pitch-black equipment. For the first
time, Yeo-woon, who had been unfazed no matter who pretended to
know, asked, ‘Huh?’ It was also the time when I said,

The dream graduate student got off his horse and raised his fist. It is
a motion that seems to show respect by slightly bending the knees
and looking up at the sky. It was also an emoticon that refugees
always learned in Illusion. I wondered what they were doing in the
illusion, but at least the original looked a little bit cool.

-Sorry, I’ll just say hello for a moment.

“Okay, whatever.”

I didn’t think the greeting was that big of a deal, but it wasn’t
everything.

<asdfasdf>: I guess you continued with the repo?

“…?!”

Lee Yeo-woon was speaking informally to ‘Your dream is a graduate


student’.

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: I guess…. Because Little


Fore is life

<asdfasdf>: Somehow he worked hard even in his senior year of


high school haha.
<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: That’s right, sous chef, I
got into college >< LOL

<asdfasdf>: So, are you going to become a graduate student soon?

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Pyeong/Q…. What kind


of nonsense ㅡㅡ

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: But are you back now??


ㅜㅜ

<asdfasdf>: I heard it’s not a return, but a return event, so wait….

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: LOL That’s the reason


why it’s so funny

<asdfasdf>: Hahahahahahahaha

What is happening in front of me now? Speaking informally? Is Yeo-


woon Lee speaking informally? Yun Ji-gu was greatly shocked and
opened his mouth slightly.

<Your dream is a graduate student>: I’m in a chef drought these


daysㅠㅠ It’s worse than eating potions;; I guess only you can make
food items that reduce debuff effects ㅠㅠㅠㅠ Come back ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
How are you doing these days ㅠㅠ Pewㅠㅠㅠ

<asdfasdf>: Me? I’m doing illusions these days….


<Born to Be General>: ?

<If you tie me up and lock me up, sue me>: It is illegal to display
other games on repo. Yes, I will repo for the rest of my life.

<Glasses>: ? Tie it up really confidently

<Friday>: Locked up

<Don’t expand to max level>: Just come backㅠㅠㅠㅠ

<Tongoliharkon>: Illusion must be filled

Everyone in the city gathered near the restaurant after hearing that
the lingering sound was an illusion. However, Yoon Ji-gu was more
concerned about Yeo-woon using informal language than anything
else and was unable to come to his senses.

…It took me a long time to even call him brother. Yeo-woon didn’t
even say a word to me, the Earth star. The only thing that changed
was my title. How could this happen to me…. I did a good job.

<Your Dream is a Graduate Student>: But who was riding behind the
sous chef?

What does this bastard care? Don’t pretend to know anything.

Even though she didn’t do anything, Your Dream is a graduate


student was solidifying into the worst image within Ji-gu Yoon. The
tremors in my legs became worse without me realizing it.

<asdfasdf>: I know his younger brother.

<asdfasdf>: I was curious about Little Fore so I was showing it


around.

Do you know my brother? It’s a title that somehow seems a bit


familiar. My mind became much more peaceful. Is it okay for
emotions to run wild like this, like riding a roller coaster? It was a
phenomenon I had never experienced even during my adolescence.

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Hey, so you’re a newbie?

<Don’t expand to max level>: Newbie?

<Tongoriharkon>: !

<Born to Be General>: !

<Glasses>: Earth star, come down for a moment

<Gyeonggyeong>: That’s because my sister has something for me.

<Tongoriharkon>: Earth Star, my brother will give you money.

<ㅈi9Star>: Save it.


<Glasses>: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

<Tongoriharkon>: Don’t be rude, I think I’ll adapt well to lipo.

<Don’t expand to max level>: It looks kind of cute;;

‘New mail has arrived.’

‘New mail has arrived.’

‘New mail has arrived.’

<Glasses>: My older sister sent me pocket money haha so I can


buy some clothes ♥

<Do not expand to max level>: Repo for life! ! !

“ha….”

A sigh came out of my mouth. I heard Yeowoon faintly laughing in


my ear. Feeling better, he suddenly got off his horse, changed his
clothes, and started cooking food for the people around him.

<Gyeonggeung>: Sir, I will buy 10 sets.

<Your Dream is a Graduate Student>: No, I will buy it all. Whatever


you make, I will buy it for 10 times the market price.
<Born to Be General>: If you cut in line, I’ll kill you. Everyone, stand
in line.

A long line began to form in front of Yeowoon. He took out a large


kitchen knife. It seemed to be a weapon of his profession as a chef.
Even though all the users around him are holding flashy weapons,
the kitchen knife looks more like a weapon. As Yeowoon swung his
large kitchen knife, food items floated above his head and fell into
his inventory.

“Is that fun? Aren’t you sick of it?”

-yes. It’s worth it.

“….”

-ah…sorry. I’d be a bit bored just looking at it. Right?

“That’s Okay. I’m not bored….”

By the way, Yeowoon’s words started to bother me. In fact, he spoke


to me, but why won’t he speak to Earth even if he dies soon? You
told the graduate student.

“brother.”

-huh?

After thinking a hundred times, Ji-gu Yoon hinted at his business.


“I’ll let you talk to me.”

-yes? suddenly?

It was a perplexed voice. So it was more annoying.

“All of a sudden. Brother, you speak informally to graduate students.


But why do you always treat me with such respect? It’s really
absurd. Are you discriminating against people?”

-that…He’s a regular customer and you can talk to him first, so….

“I said I could talk too.”

-And the guild rules….

“What do you care about guild rules? There are already a lot of
people who don’t follow it. And it’s already wrong for me to call him
brother. Are you happy to know?”

Yun Ji-gu muttered awkwardly. Yeowoon looked like he was thinking


about it for a moment and said in a troubled voice.

-Then what if it becomes a habit? I think I might get caught


accidentally speaking informally in guild chat.

“You can just pretend it’s a joke. Can’t you do that?”


Yeowoon paused for a moment and asked in a voice mixed with
laughter.

-But are you really jealous?

“no. no?”

-…I think that’s right.

“No. It’s really funny. It’s not jealousy, it’s just that it’s a bit unfair. …
Oh, it’s not really!”

When I got angry on purpose, Yeowoon laughed and made a tickling


sound. Since it is a voice chat, your face will not be visible. That’s
why you wouldn’t have noticed that you were embarrassed, so why
are you smiling? My face felt hot.

-okay. Then what I said is a secret to the guild.

“…!”

I did it.

-But aren’t you really bored? After I finish making it, I have to go
catch the golem…. You can’t follow me there.

“are you okay.”


I didn’t think I would get into this game any other way than today. If
nothing else, the character speed is too slow. It’s not even crawling.

‘Oh yea.’

Ji-gu Yoon, who finally got what he wanted, leaned back in his chair
and laughed heartily. Even if you tell the truth that you’re speaking
informally anyway, no one will really care. Lee Yeo-woon worries too
much.

--Lipo Revival Day is Coming 22222

-ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ
-Yesterday, the Great Swordsman came back, and they really came
back one by oneㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ It wasn’t something to criticize,
asking why only returning users were given herbs.

-Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

-Yeah, I knew it would come back ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ If they were going to


fold, why didn’t they sell the only two warlocks on the server? This is
proof that they will never come back.

-I guess I’m overindulging, I’m crying…lol

⤷ㄴㄷㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I always obey you fucking lipo dog like Count


Ashura…No, don’t obey me…No, I obey…No, don’t do this, I’m
doing this lol.

-(moving gif) It’s been a while since I’ve had food that tastes like
food. The blood filling is completely different from a potion haha. It
also reduces debuffs by 50%.

⤷Hmm, where do you get that?

⤷Did you sell food?

⤷ㄴNo, they gave it awayㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ I stood in line and received


it.

-ㅁㄴㅇㄹ I’m curious how they did their production skills hahaha
The difference in buff compared to other chefs’ food is huge….
⤷I only eat food lol.

⤷Actually, you haven’t had to go to a restaurant since you folded


LOL.

-Earlier, ㅁㄴㅇㄹ was asking for a golem pot, so I gave it back and
asked, but he didn’t return. I guess he only came to get the herbs.

⤷The Great Swordsman also said the same thing yesterday, but
today he has been playing underground for 24 hours hahahaha. He
said he was working hard.

⤷ㄴThe Great Swordsman has completely folded…ㅁㄴㅇㄹThey


said they changed the gameㅠㅠ

⤷ㄴㄴBetrayal Explosion

⤷ㄴㄴI’m so mad, I wish all the other games were submissive and
only lipo was left;;;;;;

-ㅠ If you’re sure it’s closed, just sell the account to someone…Since


no one is a proper cook, everyone is using potions now;;

-But why doesn’t the sous chef join the guild?

⤷ Originally, people who took the production route did not join guilds
unless it was for the purpose of friendship.

⤷There is no need to receive hunting buffs.


⤷ㅇㅎ ㄱㅅㄱㅅ

-But I brought a newbie on a horse. If I brought a newbie, doesn’t


that mean I’m still playing the game?

⤷Newbie?

⤷What is a newbie? That’s a fantasy species haha Spreading


rumors x

⤷ㄴㅠㅠ

⤷What is his nickname?

⤷Tell me your nickname

⤷He was so hung up on his horse that he didn’t even get off lol.

⤷Frightened newbie, so helpful!

⤷I wish I could continue what I did when I came back haha

-I heard there was a line earlier, but they say it’s an illusion these
days haha.

⤷Fuck

⤷Don’t say the first letter


⤷ㅅㅂIt’s all over ㅠ

⤷But isn’t it difficult if you pass on illusion while cooking…? I hope


you come back haha

⤷But he said he would come and sell food sometimes.

⤷ㄴFuck, sometimes it doesn’t work, it comes every day

⤷ㄴㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

-ㅁㄴㅇㄹIllusionic neutaaaa<<This transaction has 4 A

⤷ㄱㅅYou have to be friendly.

⤷I will become close with him and bring him to Lippo.

⤷ㄴAre you giving illusions? Do you have time left?

⤷ㄴDon’t look away;

⤷ㄴThere are a lot of kids here who give illusions too haha.

⤷ㄴIt’s sad to even notice

-Nems, why did you change Illusion so much lol God game gak ㅇ
ㅈ? I guess I should give up and just do illusions lol.
⤷ㅋㅋㅋ You’re overly self-conscious, so I guess you’re like this~

⤷Yes, don’t give up~ There’s no one to do it without you~

⤷If you quit, the game will be ruined~ Don’t quit even if it comes to
you~

⤷Yes, I will obey you if you fold ^^

***

In the past few days, new nicknames have appeared in Yeowoon’s


friends window. When giving away free food items at Little Forest,
someone asked, ‘What is the sous chef’s illusion nickname?’ When I
asked him, the answer he gave me was a problem. I didn’t mind
making new friends even in Little Foret. In fact, it was better.

However, the problem was with the Earth. When we were together,
whenever someone wearing a cloak came by, he became so alert
for no reason, and I don’t know if it was a mistake or on purpose,
but he ended up talking about Little Forest in the guild chat room.

Park hwi bug

Little Foret?
al0ha

ㅡㅡ?

Pea peas

Running concurrently with other games is illegal under some law.

neutaaaa

thief

In fact, there were many people within Poseidon who even played
other games on the side. However, ‘I’ll go play another game.’ The
moment he said that, he became a very good prey. And this time, it
became a lingering feeling.

The person who told us that Yeowoon had briefly moved on to


another game with Earth Star was very quiet. Don’t leave the Earth
alone…. If this bastard hadn’t said anything, no one would have
found out.

Why does the Earth star follow again? I should have stopped it ㅡㅡ

It was at this time! When the target of criticism passed from district
to district, we had to tread water.

I don’t know when the screenshot came up again, but in the photo
Earth Star sent, the scene where he said he would come to visit
often was clearly captured. I thought he was just quietly riding his
horse and waiting, but he was taking pictures? My blood pressure
rose at the attention of the planet Earth.

Haha what is he doing hahahahahahahaha

If you look closely, it looks like Cat and Earth Star don’t get along,
but they secretly get along well. Is it the right level?

Anyway, the Earth Star Revelation ended with the addition of a guild
notice.
Poseidon Captain

Hello, Poseidon Guild members. This is Captain Poseidon, the guild


master. In fact, we are announcing new rules that were decided
after an internal meeting within the guild. Please make sure to read
it carefully to avoid violating it. ※Play other games secretly. If you
get caught playing another game, play twice as many illusions!!
Save a lot of illusions!! (Sorry if you disagree)※

Poseidon Captain

That is all. Thank you^^

halloween eggplant

Who did you have an internal meeting with? Isn’t it me??

Poseidon Captain

The guild master did it alone.

halloween eggplant

I’m glad. I almost cried when I thought I was demoted.

ㅈi9 stars

Hahahahahahahahahahaha

al0ha

Yes, I have read the notice. Thank you for your hard work, Gilma!

Cat cat cat cat

Hahahaha Qㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Park hwi bug

Don’t pretend to know the notice hahahaha


Poseidon Captain

Aloha, thank you~^^

Yeowoon skimmed through the ‘Guild Notice_Real Final.ver.8’, which


was neatly organized and registered as a notice again. I was able to
confirm that ‘Save Illusion’ was added at the very end. Captain
Poseidon also had a corner that was different from his first
impression.

‘Anyway, why did Earth suddenly tell us what happened in Little


Fore?’

A question suddenly occurred to me. He asked if he could join the


game first….

「Earth Star」

As soon as I turned on Whole Blue and sent a private message, a


light came on next to Earth Star’s nickname, indicating that I was
connected.

「Earth: Sir?ㅡㅡ」

Speaking informally wasn’t difficult, but calling names was difficult. I


tried calling it “Earth Star,” but it felt like I was calling a dog. Calling
him “Hey,” seemed too affectionate. After thinking for a moment,
Yeowoon came up with a better title.

“Gubyeol, I have something to ask you.”


“earth: ;;;”

「Earth: Don’t call me that….」

It’s a failure. Since he doesn’t seem to like it very much, I’ll have to
think of another name.

“But why did you really follow Little Fore?”

「Earth: Haha, did I mention that I was curious what it looked like
there?」

“Even so, it’s still at lipo level 1.”

“Earth: It’s level 2, not level 1?”

“Even when I went to catch a golem for a moment, I just waited….」

The more I think about it, the more strange it gets. In Little Forest,
you can quickly rise to level 10 by completing just one or two quests.
In Illusion, the subject was nagging at him, saying, ‘Your abilities are
too low’ or ‘Why aren’t you leveling up when you’re less than 5 levels
away from max level?’ Why was he quietly waiting for his return in
Lippo? Without even leveling up, which I loved so much?

“Tell me honestly. They came there to watch over me.”


“I’m going to take a screenshot and frame you like I did today;”

“earth: ;;;;; That’s not it ㅡㅡ」

“--Then why did you follow me!”

“What’s wrong with Illusion again?”

“People in cloaks are coming to say hello, but I’m afraid they’ll be
kicked out pitifully.”

It was not once or twice that the planet Earth chased away people
who came near me. He acted as if he were my bodyguard.

“Are you taking revenge for being made fun of at Lippo?”

“earth: ? What kind of revenge is this on the poor people? Hahaha.


It’s not like that. It’s really funny;;」

“They say you’re funny if you don’t have anything to say.”

「Earth: Hahahahahaha」

It was clear. Look at me smiling because I have nothing else to say.

“Really why….”
I could have just ignored it, but I really wanted to know the reason.
There was no way Earth, a distracted person who couldn’t keep still
for even a moment, would wait quietly for almost 30 minutes while
taking screenshots in Little Foret.

「Earth: But it’s true…. I was curious about what the games the
refugees were playing were like.”

「True」

「Earth: Hahaha why can’t I believe it?」

“Is that all you need to do is hang your wrist?”

Earth Star paused for a long time when told to hang her wrist.

「Earth: It’s nothing special….」

「Earth: I want to become closer to my brother- _-」

「Earth: Aggyaggyaggya」

“Earth: Do I have to say these embarrassing words with my own


mouth?”

「Earth: ㅡㅡ」

“uh…?”
It really wasn’t as big of a reason as I thought, just like Earth Star
said. The fact that I was curious about other games was still the
same, but with an additional explanation in front of it, it was much
more persuasive.

“You’re already close with me, what more do you want lol?”

「Earth: Fuck, I’m too far. It’s just not enough.」

「Hahahahahahaha」

「Earth: ㅡㅡ」

Yeowoon chuckled without realizing it. My affinity for Earth has


slightly increased. How can you not feel good when you hear people
expressing their fondness for you?

He said he wanted to get closer to me and was curious about the


games I played.

Yeo-woon was persuaded without even realizing it and shook his


head slightly.

***
A few days later, on my way to the swimming pool, I saw an
advertisement on the bus that I had never seen before. An
illustration of four female characters and four male characters
standing with their arms around each other covered the entire side
of the bus. Normally, I wouldn’t have even looked at the picture, but
what caught my eye were the words ‘Beautiful Girl/Boy Dating
Simulation.’

“…Love Evolution?”

Yeowoon unconsciously recited the name of the game. When the


signal changed, the bus with the advertisement on it made a loud
noise and moved away. Despite this, game advertisements kept
flashing before my eyes. I think it’s a new work…. Then did Ji-gu
Yoon see that advertisement too? He’s probably going to pre-order
or something. No, what on earth is so good about it that they play it
while hiding it?

“….”

When Yeowoon came to his senses, he found a game on the App


Store and was installing it. The interests of the person you want to
become friends with…. It was a moment when I could really
sympathize with what Earth Star had said a few days ago while
feeling very embarrassed.

***
Maybe it’s because it’s a genre I haven’t tried before, but I keep
seeing bad endings. Yeo-woon, who had seen another bad ending
while waiting for Yoon Ji-gu to come out of the swimming pool,
frowned seriously and pressed the ‘Restart’ button. I was annoyed
by the ads that appeared every now and then, so I bought an ad
removal package. It’s been three days since I installed the game.
There was not a single character who saw their own true ending.

‘Do you want to skip the prologue?’

There is no need to re-watch the prologue, which I have seen more


than five times in the past three days. When I pressed the skip
button, the screen blinked black and the first starting scene
appeared. The setting of Love Evolution is a high school, and the
target characters are eight, four each female and four male.

First attempt. Yeowoon was evenly likable to all the characters, but
ended up watching the 8-person friendship ending. It was an okay
ending, but people who don’t watch the show won’t be satisfied with
this normal ending. From now on, I had to properly target at least
one person who started it and see it through to the end.

Second attempt. We abandoned the male characters and focused


our investment only on the four female characters. I thought it was
going well, but after hearing the comments from all four people
about their relationship, the ending scene came out sooner than
expected. It was an ending where he got scolded at school for
attacking four people at the same time and then transferred to
another school while being rumored to be trash.

Third attempt. I thought I was only going to target one person, but I
ended up with a two-legged ending again. The fourth and fifth were
the same. They didn’t treat me that well, but everyone’s favorability
was close to ‘max’.

Slowly, I started to feel uncomfortable. Yeo-woon, who was lying


down at an angle and roughly pressing options, ended up having to
stand up holding his head and start the game again from the
beginning with a reverential attitude.

‘It’s really difficult.’

This was not a game to be taken lightly. Even with just one variable,
there was a big change in likability or character relationships.
Moreover, it was common for the characters to be so picky about
subjects that are not even human, such as suddenly sulking alone
and sending a text message first the next day. When I went to the
App Store to leave a comment asking, ‘Why is the character’s
personality so shitty?’, there wasn’t a single person who had the
same sentiment as me.

★★★★★ ㄷㅂFull voiceㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ It’s really refreshing to see


the kids’ lines change slightly in each episode…. I also get a little
goosebumps. Above all, the kids’ personalities are three-dimensional
and fun.

★★★★★ For the first time in a while, a masterpiece has been


released in Korea as well^^haha. However, I am a bit concerned that
the price of the text message package is 50,000 won even though it
is not a permanent ticket. My cell phone bill also costs about that
much.

★☆☆☆☆ Game is fun, but my phone doesn’t sync with Markat ㅜ


ㅜ And it keeps crashing when the chapter ends…. Administrators, if
you just fix the bugs in this game, I’ll give it a 5-star rating! And I
hope season 2 comes out!!♥♥♥♥

★★★★★ It’s a bit frustrating because the range of choices is


limited if you don’t play hard, but I think it’s still possible to play
without paying. So good! It’s an in-depth story and there’s even a
follow-up story prepared after you’ve finished watching it, so my
heart is pounding for the first time in a while haha. I want to cover it
with the rest of the kids as well….

★★☆☆☆ Wow, this is not it. I changed my phone and reinstalled it,
but it seems like it was completely reset and all the hearts are
gone!!! I synced my account, but nothing came in. Please restore it.
ㅜㅜ I worked really hard to collect hearts by watching a lot of
advertisements…

[See more reviews (99+)]

It’s only been a month since the game was listed on the App Store,
but it’s already received a lot of reviews. Most of them were positive
reviews about the story and characters. I guess that means it’s a
game that has a lot of people playing it and is very popular.

“oh!”

At that moment, a cold object touched my cheek, and I looked up


with my eyes wide. Yun Ji-gu was even more surprised by Yeo-
woon’s reaction and was frozen for a while.

“This, this.”
In Yoon Ji-gu’s outstretched hand, there was a can of drink with
water on the outside. For some reason, I did something I never
wanted to do, and it seems I was thirsty.

“Are you giving it to me?”

“I bought one for myself, so they gave me another one. …do not like
it?”

“No, I like it.”

As Yeo-woon took the drink, Ji-gu Yoon breathed a sigh of relief.

“But what are you doing sitting down earlier? “I called from there, but
there was no answer.”

Yoon Ji-gu said that and looked at Yeo-woon’s cell phone. Just then,
a lively BGM sound came out of the screen, and a character
appeared that drove the lingering feelings into the abyss of a bad
ending. At the same time, Yun Ji-gu’s eyes wavered.

“… Well, what are you doing?”

“game.”

Yun Ji-gu stuttered, unable to hide his embarrassment. Yeo-woon


looked back at Yun Ji-gu with some anticipation.

“Do you know this game?”


“…I think I saw an ad at the bus stop….”

It seemed like he hadn’t played it yet. Or they are pretending not to


know. I had been feeling it since last time, but it seemed like Yoon Ji-
gu didn’t want to be caught ignoring me. I could understand it
because it was a shameful game to show proudly to others.

“however…fun?”

“…!”

Jigu Yoon finally showed interest. I don’t know what makes me so


proud.

“I don’t know yet. There is only a bad ending.”

Yeo-woon naturally handed the phone over to Ji-gu Yoon.

“… Do you want me to do it?”

Yeowoon nodded. He obligingly touched the screen with a nervous


look on his face and skipped the conversation. After the first
character introduction, the protagonist takes a shortcut to avoid
being late.

Ji-gu Yoon cleared the rhythm game-like mini game that appears in
the shortcut with a full score.

“Wow, that’s cool.”


“….”

It’s easy to overlook, but I can’t believe you’re working so hard with
such an unmotivated face. Above all, it was amazing that he
achieved a perfect grade without even a single practice. As
expected, Master Miyeonsi is different in some ways. The corners of
Yoon Ji-gu’s mouth turned up in Yeo-woon’s admiration.

After taking the shortcut and exiting the alley, a second target
person emerged from the group of students on their way to school.
It was a male character who walked briskly as if it didn’t matter
whether he was late or not.

‘Who are you? Why are you pretending to know? …what? Transfer
student?’

Aside from being a man, this kid is very rude.

‘go away. Walk at least 5 meters away from me!’

Yeowoon played several episodes and talked to many characters,


but he didn’t say a single word to this scoundrel. This is because the
character design was not to my taste, despite my gender and
personality.

After a while, a choice that affected the likability of the character


came to mind.

▶ Come on. (Punches his fist and punches him first.)


▷Okay, goodbye~! (Leave it alone and follow the white tiger ahead.)

▷…. (Ignore it and walk along side to side.)

Due to the game’s setting, the characters’ hair colors were very
diverse, as there was no hair regulation at school. This rude male
character had shaggy blonde hair and holes in his ears. In addition,
he was also a guy who would sometimes appear on the rooftop and
start a fight when attacking other characters.

In the last episode, Yeowoon got into a fight with this character and
ended up watching the 10th week ending.

Yun Ji-gu, who stared at the screen for a moment, chose the third
option.

▶…. (Ignore it and walk along side to side.)

‘…What, what? ‘Why don’t you go?’

The unlucky guy suddenly blushed, and ‘♥+10’ vaguely appeared


above his head and then disappeared. Yeowoon frowned, seeing this
guy blush for the first time.

I didn’t understand. Why did my likeability suddenly increase?

Yeowoon has always played based on ‘What would I have done if it


were me?’ Therefore, except for the option to fight in the last
episode, everyone chose to ‘leave me alone and leave.’ I didn’t want
to get criticized for sticking to a character I wasn’t interested in.
Maybe Yoon Ji-gu just chose that option based on ‘If It Was Me’.
When I think about it, if Yoon Ji-gu had said ‘stay more than 5
meters away’ instead of this character, I would have chosen to follow
Yoon Ji-gu and walk next to her.

Moreover, as I looked at the blonde haired male character, the more


I looked at him, the more he reminded me of someone else.

“this….”

“…!”

Before we knew it, Yeowoon was holding Jigu Yoon’s shoulder and
sitting close to him, looking at his phone. Yun Ji-gu, who noticed him
belatedly, stopped breathing, rolled his eyes and looked down at
Yeo-woon. He looked visibly nervous, and his broad shoulders
stiffened.

“Well, it’s hot so stay away….”

“This guy looks like you.”

“…What!”

At the same time as Yoon Ji-gu responded angrily, the character on


the phone also turned his head with a blushing face.

‘Well, it’s not like that!’


Same! Yeowoon burst into laughter. I didn’t know much about it until
now because I wasn’t interested, but it seems that this character’s
characteristics were closer to the so-called tsundere side. The sign
showing increased friendliness floating above the character’s head
was funny in contrast to the harsh dialogue.

“They really look alike….”

At Yeo-woon’s muttering, Ji-gu Yoon jumped up with a face redder


than the character on his phone. He said, throwing the cell phone to
Yeo Woon.

“Aren’t you going home?!”

At that moment, the letters ‘♥+10’ appeared overlapping Yun Ji-gu’s


head. Unable to hold back Yeo-woon, he turned his head and
laughed, and his face got even hotter. Yun Ji-gu, who was biting his
lip, turned first and walked out with great strides. They said they
didn’t look alike, but even their appearances were so similar that it
was difficult to say that they didn’t look alike even with empty words.
Yeo-woon chased after Ji-gu Yoon and put his cell phone in his
pocket.

“But do you really look like me?”

After a while, Jigu Yoon asked. It seems like he was paying attention
to himself.

“I actually don’t know. But after looking at it for a moment, it looks a


bit similar, right?”
“It’s not similar at all….”

Yun Ji-gu mumbled and played with his hair with his fingers. The sun
was setting beyond the building. Perhaps because the sunset has
set, my eyes are drawn to the pinna of my ear, which has not yet
lost its redness.

“brother.”

“huh?”

“… Aren’t you thinking about me too much all the time?”

“I?”

“Why do you even think about me while playing games?”

“….”

I know? When I thought about it, I couldn’t figure out why. I just
remember installing the game because I suddenly thought of Yoon
Ji-gu.

“It’s really funny and absurd.”

I talk to myself and I blush alone. The more you look at him, the
funnier he gets.
“Why did you install that strange game in the first place? … Is it
because of the person who looks like me?”

“I thought it would be nice to have something to talk about with you.


Other than swimming, we don’t really have any shared interests.”

“Interests?”

“I saw an ad in passing and thought of you, so I installed it.”

“…? “Stop thinking about me.”

Ji-gu Yoon tilted his head as if sensing something strange, but did
not forget to point out Yeo-woon’s words.

“Because you like games like this too.”

“Me?”

“no? “You like Miyeonsi.”

Yoon Ji-gu looked back at Yeo-woon, startled. My face turned red


and then blanched repeatedly. If that were a talent, it would be a
talent.

“Who the hell are you?!”

Oops, is it a secret…?
“okay…. I’ll keep it a secret.”

“What do you know? What on earth are you misunderstanding? It’s


not me. I don’t do things like dating through that game! That’s not
even a real person. No, what on earth does he know me for?”

“Yes.”

“It’s real. No, oh, really!”

Yun Ji-gu stamped his feet on the bare ground and looked back at
Yeo-woon. I thought it was because he was embarrassed, but after
seeing him deny it over and over again, it became a bit ambiguous.

“Isn’t it real?”

Ji-gu Yoon glared at Yeo-woon without saying a word. It was easy to


feel intimidated by the sharp eyes, but I didn’t mind because I got
used to it. It’s a truly aggrieved face.

“Or else…. Then I installed the game for no reason.”

That doesn’t mean the game isn’t fun, but I was a little disappointed.
I just wanted to see Yoon Ji-gu talk excitedly at least once.

“brother. really….”

“I’ll trust you.”


“No, that.”

He pursed his lips, scratched his cheek, and avoided Yeo-woon’s


gaze.

“Did you really download the game because of me?”

“huh.”

“…You know that’s really weird. Are you not aware of it, or are you
just not thinking?”

Was he very upset? Why are you fighting all of a sudden?

“I’m sorry, I guess I was mistaken.”

“….”

“But Earth, are you in a bad mood?”

Even though I couldn’t make eye contact, I noticed that he was


walking a little far away. At Yeo-woon’s words, Yoon Ji-gu barely
raised his gaze, glanced at Yeo-woon, and said.

“… It’s not bad, I feel.”

If so, I’m glad.


“I don’t feel bad….”

“huh.”

“…Really, I don’t feel too bad.”

“I said I understood. I’m sorry.”

Yeowoon burst out laughing and muttered.

Ji-gu Yoon muttered the same thing over and over again, “I’m in a
bad mood, really, why?” and then closed his eyes with a strange
expression on his face. The pupils were shaking slightly.

***

It was a sunny afternoon. As the days are cooler, there are more
and more days where it is not unpleasant to leave the door open.
The sky was blue and the sun was moderately warm.

And even though it was a day when there was no need to come out
to work, there were many days when Jigu Yoon went to the cafe and
glanced out the window. Every time the bell on the door tinkled
faintly, he lifted his head and looked at the doorway. And if it wasn’t
the person he was looking for, he would turn his head away again
and again.

“…Phew.”

Ji-gu Yoon has been sighing for a while now, wondering if something
is going on. A part-time worker working with him glanced at Yoon Ji-
gu. I didn’t really want to pay attention to it, but it was natural to be
bothered by a tall and particularly noticeable guy walking around
openly saying, ‘Something’s wrong with me.’

‘…Still, he helps me out a lot with work. ‘Let’s at least ask what’s
going on.’

The afternoon part-time worker hid his annoyance and walked up to


Ji-gu Yoon and poked him on the shoulder. The man, who rarely
spoke first unless it was absolutely necessary, turned his head to
look at him.

“Brother, what’s going on?”

“…uh.”

“What is it?”

“I can’t say it….”

“Ah yes…. is it so.”


Ji-gu Yoon leaned back in his chair again and began to sigh heavily. I
don’t know what it was, but looking at the serious face, it seemed
like something had happened. However, I wasn’t worried. It was
obvious that it was a useless worry. At first, he was handsome, but
he looked down at me with a hard face without saying a word, and I
was so scared that I called my friends and started whining. But after
getting to know him for a long time, I realized that his personality
was very different from his appearance. I had so many worries and
was so shy that I couldn’t even talk to the part-timer who came in on
weekend afternoons a month later, and we just worked face-to-face
for a month.

After my fear of Yoon Ji-gu subsided, there were times when I


thought he was kind of cute. But when I saw that he didn’t show the
slightest interest in me, as if he didn’t have a single gram of love
cells, my interest cooled. Because I didn’t necessarily want to go
down a difficult path. The part-time worker, who had been sitting still
and suddenly looking down at Yoon Ji-gu, who was fidgeting alone,
looked pitiful, went back to the counter.

Only then did Ji-gu Yoon pick up his phone and look down at the
Whole Blue Messenger that had not received an answer.

1「ㅇㄷ?」

“….”

Next to the message I sent during lunch time, there was still an
unread sign. Almost all of my conversations with Yeowoon over the
past few weeks have been like this.

(October 4)
“doesn’t exist?”

「neutaaaa: Let’s eat and eat」

“ok! ><」

(October 5)

“doesn’t exist?”

「neutaaaa: Guild Room」

“Wow, I just woke up lol I’m on my way in!! ㅇㅅㅇ”

「neutaaaa: Hahaha why did you wake up so late? “Sleep a little


early at night.”

「ㅡㅡ;;」

(October 7)

“doesn’t exist?”

「neutaaaa: Overtimeㅠ」

「ㅠㅅㅠ」
「neutaaaa: ㅠㅅㅠ」

(October 8)

“brother!”

「neutaaaa: ㅇㅋ」

(October 9)

“doesn’t exist?”

「neutaaaa: Going swimming」

“Hey, come quickly.”

「neutaaaa: I’ll go after swimming! Haha」

“Ah, yes.”

「neutaaaa: at night.」

“yep”

(October 29)
1「ㅇㄷ?」

Ji-gu Yoon, who had been waiting endlessly for a reply all day,
looked through the history of the conversation and realized that he
had spoken first in most cases. Yeo-woon may not be like Yoon Ji-
gu, but he was a very merciless man to ‘Earth Star’. Of course, it is
true that we are closer than other guild members, but there is a wall
that prevents us from getting closer than this.

Ji-gu Yoon has deliberately taken care of the afterglow in the game
and even asked me if I wanted to keep an item that I didn’t need.
The guild members even thought it was strange, asking ‘What is
Earth Star doing?’, but Yeowoon actually drew the line at ‘Earth Star’
without any hesitation. When Yeowoon finally reached max level last
week, he was the first to congratulate him.

It’s natural to feel disappointed when you don’t get back the favor
you did.

I hate Lee Yeo-woon. I absolutely hated his kindness.

I was sick and tired of him showing his presence by clinging to me


like a cicada from an old tree because he liked me, and I was so
annoyed that I couldn’t stand it. Even the eyeballs that glance at my
body ask if I’m going to wash alone today. The face that stares
blankly into space and then straightens up when you look at it. The
muttering to himself that is clearly visible on the outside, or the
slightly parted pink lips when he concentrates. Lee Yeo-woon, who
smiles as brightly as sunlight when she makes eye contact with a
topic that is not unique to her…hate.

“….”
Everything I said above is a lie.

Actually, I didn’t hate him. Rather, it had been a long time since my
mind was filled with lingering thoughts from the moment I opened
my eyes to the moment I closed them. I don’t want to admit it, but
when I look back on my day, my day was full of emotions.

I couldn’t understand why I had to put so much effort into it even


though I didn’t really like him. Yeo-woon was rather calm as he
expressed with his whole body, ‘I like you.’ He is trying his best to
seduce me by putting snacks in his pocket once a week.

If he had confessed to me, I would have said something nice and


kicked him out. As I stared at the lingering sight in front of me for a
long time, distraught, he, who had no idea how I felt, smiled and
played a subtle joke. I hated myself the most for not being able to
adapt and getting nervous every time that happened.

How can a man like a man?

How could this Yeo-woon make me….

“…i like you….”

I have absolutely no intention of doing well with him. It was true. If


she gets closer to the man who is intruding so much into her daily
life, Ji-gu Yoon’s life will be completely shattered. Just thinking about
Yeo-un Lee makes me feel confused and dizzy. Now I felt like I knew
a little bit about the reason.
***

About two weeks after the Autumn of Abundance event ended,


everyone started to get bored and ask why there was so little
content.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Take a picture of the look item lol. Does it make
sense that the last theme outfit is a vacation look? It’s cold right
now, so I took out long sleeves, but I’m afraid I’ll freeze.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: It’s 0 and 1 anyway, so it won’t die.

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Cat, Adak

[Guild] Cat Cat Cat Cat: ㅠㅠ

[Guild] al0ha: LOL It’s a manga game so there’s no content so I


guess I’ll give up soon?

“I have a lot of work to do….”

It takes a full hour just to log in once a day and go through all the
necessary routines. However, Yeowoon may have felt differently
because his online connection time was not that long compared to
other people. Yeowoon looked up the end date of the last event on
the in-game calendar and tilted his head. The gap period was only
two weeks. Even though there is still no main event, there are plenty
of other things to do. For example, an attendance check event or a
quiz event that is created regularly at a certain time every day….

[Guild] neutaaaa: Isn’t this a lot of content?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Yes?

[Guild] al0ha: ?

[Guild] Park Hwibug: ?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: No mention of new members!!

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Just look at it. The kid doesn’t know anything.
What should I do?;;

[Guild] neutaaaa: 12?

[Guild] Park Hwibeolae: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: It’s not a fight, but it’s a mess even if you take
sides ㅡㅡ

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahahahaha I said don’t pick on me but Ji is the


best at beating me up
[Guild] Park Hwibugrae: I watch it because of Earth Star hahahaha

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: As expected, what’s different about being


from Mangame?

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Everyone, we have modified the guild


rules. Please read it when you have time.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: <Summary of added rules> Indiscriminate


advocacy of illusion is prohibited. / ‘It’s not like a mangem, is it?’ No
speaking allowed. / Even if you like the content of the update, just
praise it for 3 seconds and move on. (Reason: The management
may become arrogant and it may become a real mess.)

[Guild] al0ha: Yes, I understand^^

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Again, I’m adding guild rules as I please


hahahaha

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: If you have any complaints, please


whisper to the guild master. We can’t answer everything.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: I’m going to chew it…

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Dictator Captain

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Earth Star, if you have anything to say,


please listen ^^
[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: It’s sour-ㅅ-

[Guild] neutaaaa: I think I’ll catch up on the guild rules soon. When
will I read them all?

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Why are you reading that lol It’s for
ornamental purposes only

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: This is one warning, Park Hwi-Rae.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Haha no hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwibug: I’m sorry, but I think I’ve been warned over 100
times. When will I be kicked out?

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: I heard that Hanje is the owner of the building,
but if I get kicked out, I will go and rob Hanje!

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: But I think Hanje also hates cockroaches.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Who likes wheels?

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Illusion doesn’t come with a nickname


change right? I really regret having the same nickname;; I’m so mad

[Guild] Kitty cat cat: ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahahaha


And after a gap of about two and a half weeks, the new event notice
was updated in Illusion to coincide with the move-in date.

Title: Advance notice for update for the second week of November

[Hot posts right now!]

5 million won draw result)

3-Ahh, if I don’t bring Ice Fox, I’m going to commit suicide♥

4-(+Added) ㅆㅅ Macro hunting situation and guild zone


indiscriminate murder controversy (one-kill hack summary article)

5-*Edited on 11/07* Themed costumes and new pets were added to


the daily coordination simulator!!

As always, Yeowoon, who was skimming through the event updates


through the current hot article, straightened his back and widened
his eyes when he saw the new pet design.

“oh my god….”

I’ve never seen a pet design that hit me so directly at the heart! My
heart truly started pounding.

[Guild] neutaaaa: If I don’t get that rabbit, I’ll quit the game…

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Huh???

[Guild] neutaaaa: Really

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Hahaha goodbye.


[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: LOL, the probability is 0.38, so have
a good time.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Isn’t Ice Fox cuter than Hell Spear
Rabbit? Hahahaha

There are many cute pets in Illusion. How many times have they
changed the design or just given a different pet color? It’s been a
year since I started Illusion. Yeowoon ended up finding a pet design
that struck his heart for the first time.

[Smooth Muscle Snow Rabbit: If you search and find it, you get one
hit for every 10 bells!]

The ‘Smooth Muscle Snow Rabbit’ was a pet that normally looked
like an ordinary white rabbit, but when the hunting assistance mode
was turned on, it bulked up into a muscular rabbit. User reactions
were overwhelmingly better towards the cute Ice Fox, but Yeowoon
decided not to follow the mainstream. Again, there are a lot of cute
pets out there.

[Guild] neutaaaa: How many times does it usually take to get it?

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: You’ll be lucky if you come out in the top
50.

[Guild] Halloween Gan: ㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ I can draw an iced


fox and exchange it with a rabbit?
[Guild] Captain Poseidon: You will feel more comfortable just paying
money to the person you chose.

[Guild] neutaaaa: If anyone finds a snow rabbit in the future, please


sell it to meㅜㅜ

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Do you have money, Newta?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Haha, wouldn’t I have more than you?

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Newta…Niang, he’s been working part-


time in dungeons these days and is the second richest person after
Earth Star haha.

[Guild] Cat Cat Me Cat: Ahem

“…what?”

I felt betrayed. When did you grow up like that? For some reason,
it’s been hard to see your face all day these days.

Yeo-woon wasn’t that lucky in drawing. So, if you don’t get it in this
lottery, you must pay money to buy a pre-sale ticket. I felt like I had
to save up a lot of money to get my hands on a rabbit.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: No, what the heck. I’m quitting just because a pet
hasn’t appeared.
[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: You also quit the game yesterday
because you exploded your weapon haha. Why aren’t you quitting
the game?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Returned;;

[Guild] Kitty cat cat: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Hahahahahahaha

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Ah, anyway, don’t quit the gameㅡㅡ

[Guild] neutaaaa: Yes, if you pick a rabbit!^^

After that, I couldn’t even remember what Earthstar said at the time
because I was talking about my expectations for the update, but late
that morning, Earthstar sent me an unexpected message.

「Earth: (Go to external link)」

「Earth: This is my personal talk!」

「Earth: Because I think the Whole Blue server is a bit unstable.」

“…huh?”
Whole Blue had almost no voice interruptions and no message
delays. Even when talking to Earth Star, I don’t think I felt any server
instability at all.

「Earth: But hyung haha, you’re not going to give up Illusion


because of a rabbit, are you? “Are you serious?”

「I’m serious….」

Actually, it wasn’t completely sincere, but only half true. Yeowoon


clicked on the link sent by Earth Star. Like a guild chat room, it was
an open channel where you could designate a dedicated profile and
nickname to prevent your personal information from being exposed.

There were many times when I logged in to the game at the same
time as Earth Star. Of course, not having a personal contact point
wouldn’t be that much of an inconvenience, but it would feel a bit
empty once it was gone. After thinking about it for a while, Yeowoon
changed his nickname to ‘neutaaaa’ and joined the chat room.

‘Try sending a message to the person you’re chatting with <I don’t
like Hellchang rabbit dog>.’

I don’t like Helchang rabbit dogs, so…. It’s a strange nickname.

I recognized Earth Star from the moment I saw his in-game


character, but for a ranker who cared about upgrading his specs, he
tended to secretly enjoy looking around. When a new item came out
at a fashion shop, I would buy it in every color and change my
clothes almost every day.
Earth Star even brought pets that resembled her. The pet I was
recently carrying around was a white ghost cat with a sky blue
border. As it was a legendary pet, not only did the pet have good
unique abilities, but its idle motion was also cute. When a ghost cat
yawns with its mouth wide open, the cat’s soul comes out through its
mouth and disperses like fog.

Ghost cat sales tickets currently have the highest price among pet
sales tickets on the server. It seemed like I had heard at first glance
that Earth Star, who was fascinated by the appearance of the ghost
cat, had paid a premium to get the pet in less than a day. That’s how
crazy the planet Earth was for cute and cuddly things.

It was natural that the snow rabbit transforming into a lumpy


appearance would not have caught the eye of those on Earth with
different eyes and eyes. So, I thought it would be better if a snow
rabbit sale ticket came up for Earth Star and he would sell the item
to me.

however…What should I send?

At Whole Blue, we rarely had conversations other than ‘Where are


you?’ or ‘I’m going in now,’ so I didn’t know what to send first. It was
doubly awkward because I had no intention of coming to Earth and
Messenger Talk in the first place. Yeowoon twitched his fingers on
the keyboard.

“I came in.”

…Why?
「Are you from Earth?」

We all know that it’s Earth, but pretending like we don’t know and
asking is a bit….

“hi”

This is also a bit bad.

“Oh, I don’t know.”

I don’t know what makes me worry so much. Yeowoon repeated


several times to erase everything he had written using the
backspace key, then got tired and went to the home screen. I
thought I would have something to say later. Then, I was so hungry
that I forgot to send a message.

next day.

It was the moment when 11:59 a.m. changed to 12:00 p.m.


Yeowoon’s head turned to the pop-up window that appeared at the
bottom right of the screen.

I hate hellchang rabbit dogs

Oh what!

I hate hellchang rabbit dogs


ㅡㅡ

“…?”

Who is Helchang? Yeowoon tilted his head for a moment when he


saw an unfamiliar conversation partner appear on the company
computer monitor.

I hate hellchang rabbit dogs

If you come to Talk, talk to me

I hate hellchang rabbit dogs

I don’t even know that

I hate hellchang rabbit dogs

So~~~~~ I fell asleep while waiting.

I hate hellchang rabbit dogs

Oh, I read it!

When I belatedly remembered that it was Earth, I started laughing at


the childish nickname. It’s been a long time since I turned off the
notifications for the guild chat room because it rings all the time
regardless of time and place, but I never thought to turn off the
notifications for the chat room with Earth Star.

I hate hellchang rabbit dogs

(emoticon)

It was an emoticon of a tabby cat stamping its feet and getting


angry. It looks like he is eager for an answer. I looked at the time
and it was 12:01 PM. With a few exceptions, Earth has always sent
messages at this time. Looking at the time, it seemed like it was just
about time for the Earth to rise.

You’re awake now haha

At Yeowoon’s question, the 1 next to the speech bubble immediately


disappeared. The planet Earth is reading the message in real time.

I hate hellchang rabbit dogs

thief!!!

I hate hellchang rabbit dogs

(emoticon)

Perhaps because it was the same type of emoticon as before, the


tabby cat was startled and took a step back. Did you get stabbed?
I hate hellchang rabbit dogs

What about cancer?

You always wake up at this time

I hate hellchang rabbit dogs

>_<LOL

go to bed early

I hate hellchang rabbit dogs

Aren’t you too interested in me?

no

(emoticon)

Yeowoon responded with an emoticon of a pink peach covering its


mouth and giggling. Anyway, I had a strange feeling that something
like Hellchang Rabbit kept popping up on the monitor. Yeowoon was
fiddling with the conversation settings and changed the save name
of Earth Star.
By Earth

What do you do outside of work?

“Ah, sir…!”

Yeowoon was momentarily surprised by the message that appeared


as soon as he changed his screen name. Fortunately, there were
people who left for lunch first, and even the assistant manager who
sat in the back was absent at the moment, so no one seemed to be
surprised.

I’m really dying haha

By Earth

Hahaha ><

By Earth

Hahahahahahahahaha

By Earth

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

By Earth
Jol?

he

By Earth

That’s right, I was a little scared hahahahaha

(emoticon)

Yeowoon used an emoticon of a duck character with anger


management problems throwing his phone at the screen. Then the
Earth Star laughed and said,
‘Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
kkkk’)’“] ’’, wondering what was so funny.

By Earth

But

By Earth

My brother is kaldap right at this hour.

By Earth

It’s amazing hahahahahahaha


There were many things to be surprised about. Yeowoon snorted.

By Earth

Also, are you going to chew on my words for a while and reply later
in the evening or when you have free time?

When did you say I chewed it?

You can’t install Wholeblue on your company computer.

By Earth

Are you pretending not to know?

By Earth

Even when you’re at work, you always chew on my talk.

By Earth

I only reply when I’m bored

By Earth

I’m really annoyed


By Earth

yo. this

Well, I chewed a lot. In fact, there was so much evidence that I


couldn’t refute it. Yeo-woon scratched his cheek and answered
indifferently.

Because it’s annoying

By Earth

and…Am I bothering you?

Still, you responded ㅠㅠ

By Earth

ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ There is no dog. Then I can say thank
you?

try

By Earth

They said they would do it. Don’t you say thank you?
By Earth

;;;thanks;

Yeah, yeah~

From now on, only send messages when you’re bored~

By Earth

I’m always bored, right? >_<

Yes, it looked like that haha.

How about trying something at a certain time every day to avoid


getting bored?

By Earth

Are you calling me a bastard now?

Wow, confident self-deprecating remarks are cool.

By Earth

Are you suddenly cool? lol


By Earth

(emoticon)

An emoticon of a cat blushing and scratching its head was sent.


Why are you embarrassed even though you know it’s not a
compliment? If you just look at him, he’s a kid with a very unique
way of thinking. When Yeo-woon spoke one word, Earth Star spoke
ten words. Yeowoon looked at the speech bubble that was babbling
non-stop, then smiled and responded.

Are you excited about the distinction?

By Earth

Oh really

Hahahahahahahaha

By Earth

don’t call me that

Nope

By Earth
I clearly warned you.

(emoticon)

By Earth

But that doesn’t mean you have to hit your head….

With only trivial conversations going on, more than thirty minutes
have already passed. Yeowoon slowly cleared his place, got up, and
closed the messenger window. It felt like it had been a long time
since I had seen Earth this excited. They’re not children, and they
grumble about me being a little late in replying to men…. It seems
that he was very disappointed that he did not reply in time even after
seeing the message.

Yeo-woon had decided to pay a little more attention to Earth from


now on, but as soon as she finished lunch, she completely forgot
about her promise.

***

While he was alone in the field hunting for a while and collecting item
materials to combine, a user with a lumpy rabbit passed by in front
of Yeowoon’s eyes. When the user double-jumped, the snow rabbit
pet also balled up in the air, rolled around, and when it landed on the
ground, it slammed its rock-sized fist into the ground.

Fuck…cute!

Yeo-woon was immediately overcome with envy and jealousy.

Even if I wanted to pay money to buy a pre-sale right, I couldn’t


because there were no properties for sale. This is because in most
cases, it was used as a sacrifice to exchange with another pet, Ice
Fox, or was used right away by the person who picked it without
knowing anything. I couldn’t have it, but it kept falling in front of my
eyes, making me want it even more. It was the first time in my life
that I craved an item like this!

“hmm….”

I have a good feeling, should I try it again?

Yeo-woon, who thought he couldn’t lose to others, used the draw


item registered in the shortcut key. Due to the draw effect, HP is
slightly restored and various job buffs follow. And the draw items
started popping out randomly according to probability and popping
into Yeowoon’s item window.

‘Obtain [Shivering in the Cold] title acquisition book ×10’

‘Acquire 500 mileage points’

‘Acquire 500 mileage points’


‘Obtain [Shivering in the Cold] title acquisition book ×10’

‘Obtain Frozen Man’s Stinky Breath ×10’

‘Obtain Frozen Man’s Stinky Breath ×10’

‘Acquire 500 mileage points’

The draw was ruined. It wasn’t just a failure, it was a huge failure. I
knew it would be like this, but when it actually went down, I felt really
empty and hated the world. I consoled myself and took a deep
breath, saying I didn’t have such high expectations…. It seems
inevitable that I will secretly have expectations.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: What should I doㅇㅅㅇ

[Couple] neutaaaa: frustration

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: What, did you win the lottery again?

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㅜㅜ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Because you’re criticizing me in front of me!


That’s a really good luck totem >_<
[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: They say you really look better when you’re with
me ㅇㅅㅇ

dog sound.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Who are you?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Didn’t you see that cat got the glacier hat earlier?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I chose them because they were all with me
haha.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Don’t talk to me, mister;

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh, you’re so sensitive…ㅠㅠ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Trust me, it’s true this time

[Couple] ㅈi9 Star: If you turn around Isis three times and bow in
front of the stone pagoda, it will really come out? Haha.

When Yeo-woon suffered a series of frustrations, Earth Star


suggested methods that didn’t work in return for giving her a drawing
tip that only she knew about. The first thing Yeowoon did was climb
onto the platform at the top of the guild room and do somersaults,
just as Earth Star had told him to do.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Haha, they really say it.


[Guild] Kitty cat cat: Hahahaha do you believe that?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ?

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

“…!”

Then I realized. That I was deceived.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: What should I do, Newta, you seem to be


doing well with jade flooring….

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: New, a good insurance came out this


time.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I’m not buying it^^

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] neutaaaa: Haha, let’s take just one hit.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Ah

[Guild] Halloween Branch: ?? What is the difference?


Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hahahahahahahaha


After a while, Earth Star sent a whisper. He must have been afraid
that his title would become rigid while speaking in guild talk.

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: ;; Why do you call me Byun in front of others


too!!

[Whisper] ㅈi9 Byul: If you’re going to sing, sing it alone, reallyㅡㅡ

[Whisper] neutaaaa: …yes?

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: I’d rather call it Earth;;

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Yes…? I’m sorry, but who are you?

[Whispering] ㅈi9Star: I’m annoyed

What I’m going to say Yeo-woon was surprisingly deceived by Earth


Star and started not treating him like a human being. The folk beliefs
he taught were useless and unreliable lies. Playing with someone’s
heart….

The Earth Star said it would pay for its sins and introduced another
folk belief. Yeo-woon, who thought he was going to be fooled and
give it a try, cursed the planet Earth with only an armful of useless
miscellaneous items.

And in order not to be deceived anymore, a few days have passed


since I listened to what the Earth Star said with one ear and let it go
with the other. That meant that no matter how much money and
time I invested, I could not get my hands on a snow rabbit for
several days.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Why do you keep avoiding me?

Perhaps because he saw my location and ran, a pink human


silhouette was captured on the minimap from the far end. Normally it
appears white, and the party member appears to be light blue, but
the fact that it appears to be a pink person means that the couple is
getting closer.

“….”

When I saw the Earth Star, my heart went cold again. They were
dressed up in all the set costumes from the lottery. Round ears were
attached to the winter hat that covered the ears, and a long tail was
sticking out from behind the furry top and bottom. Having already
collected all the set costumes, I felt envious of Earth’s luck and felt
sick to my stomach. I don’t know what it is that makes people so
childish.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Are you mad at me?

[Couple] neutaaaa: No….

[Couple] neutaaaa: But who are you?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Why do you keep pretending not to know me and
using polite language?ㅠ0ㅠ
[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I said I was sorry ㅠㅠ I won’t beg you anymore.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: I swear on my brotherㅇㅇ

[Couple] neutaaaa: LOL Am I fooled once or twice?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Wow…. but

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahaha

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: But you were fooled three times~ >_<

Fuck. As he said, Yeowoon was fooled by Earth Star three times. He


wasn’t stupid and didn’t seem to have the ability to learn. No, no.
This is bad for the Earth that tortures people’s hopes.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: No, I bought 500,000 won worth of money


earlier, but I got everything except the purchase ticket.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Well….

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I just sold five hats.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Oh hora

As I gave a soulless reaction, Earthstar’s words became more


hesitant. It was all pointless, and half of it was just my pride, so I
pretended not to notice it. As the lingering cloud moved, Earth Star
followed behind and spoke to him without giving up.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: You know….

[Couple] neutaaaa: There is none.

[Couple] Ji9 Byul: You just gave me a tulip before.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Oh, that’s right

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I thought he was such a hot guy back then;

[Couple] neutaaaa: Return the favor;

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, so if the hello window comes up, I’ll just
give it to you.

“….”

This kid was a good kid…. Even if I were to sell it for money, I would
be very grateful. Yeo-woon smiled as he felt all the resentment being
washed away.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hey, how can you just accept it~

Still, out of courtesy, I refused once. I thought it seemed too


shameless. If this happens, Earth will now say, ‘Just take it!’ I would
say Then, all you have to do is pretend not to win and nod your
head. It seemed like there was a higher chance of an item appearing
on Earth than on myself.

‘[Emergency Notice] In 5 minutes, a snowball monster will appear on


the event map! Everyone, be careful of the cold front so you don’t
freeze!’

It was a preview message about an event map that opens once


every two hours. It seemed like I could already clearly see the area
in front of the event NPC crowded with people. Event monsters had
to be caught from the beginning to obtain more items. Yeo-woon felt
like he had to go do an event raid, so he used the warp capsule to
move to Isis. Earth Star did not follow.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I have a brother.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: If a sale ticket comes up for me….

He paused for a moment and then added.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Can I meet you in person and give it to you?

meet?

As soon as I saw those words, my thoughts solidified. Yeowoon


stopped in the middle of the crowd, lost in thought.

“….”
Actually meeting the Earth star? I don’t even know what the planet
Earth does, what it looks like, or what it likes, but I daresay we’ll
meet offline. The timing was really strange as we had never talked
about an offline meeting before. I wondered what kind of wind had
caused the planet Earth to say something like that.

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㅠㅠNo

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh? ㅋ Because of the guild announcement?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Likewise

[Couple] neutaaaa: I’m not ready to meet Bunyi yet…ㅠㅅㅠ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Ugh, what kind of preparation do I need to


make? Haha, are you going on a blind date with me? Haha.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Still a little bit.

Although I said nice things, I had no intention of actually meeting a


friend I met on the Internet.

‘bothered.’

Because it is better to end a hobby only within the hobby line. When
they see each other’s faces, they will break things a little, and the
Earth Star they met through a game is just a relationship that they
will no longer see once they quit the game. Even if he didn’t cut off
contact first, it would happen naturally.
[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Okay

[Couple] neutaaaa: I’ll think about it later haha

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I got it

The Earth Star did not appear in front of Yeowoon until the
snowflake event map was opened. It looks like he won’t be
participating in this event’s mob raid.

***

3 p.m. People were crowded from the entrance to the event portal.
Users who were the worst at waiting still wandered around the map,
firing off skills needlessly, while users who developed characters with
buffs and heals, such as Moon Fairy or Healer, walked around and
gave out buffs at random.

“… Is there anyone?”

No matter how much I washed my eyes and searched, I couldn’t see


any Poseidon guild members on the waiting map. Yeo-woon
wondered if everyone was forgetting time, so he asked about it in
guild chat.
[Guild] neutaaaa: Don’t you guys play snowball?

[Guild] neutaaaa: It’s starting soon, have you all run?

[Guild] Park Hwibug: LOL I played two games in the early morning,
but if I’m bored, shall we go out together?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㄴㄴ ㄱㅊ

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I’m taking the newbies through the
dungeon haha.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I still have one left, but I’m going to
do it after dinner.

You can participate in the ‘Snowball Conquest Raid’, which is held


every two hours, up to twice a day. After participating twice a day
and receiving a reward, no reward was given even if you participated
in the subsequent subjugation.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: I’m a shitcom so I’ll aim for next time.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: There are a lot of people right now, so it


lags a lot.

[Guild] al0ha: I’m on my way now

[Guild] al0ha: Podchojeom


[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅇㅋㅇㅋ

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: I will also take the buzzing and leave right
away.

Yeowoon invited the two to the party. There was no separate party
effect, but it was much less boring to be together than to work alone
for an hour.

Like everyone else, he also brought plenty of signs of resurrection.


When a character dies due to loss of all HP, it is possible to revive
on the spot by using the Token of Resurrection item. This means
that if you die during a raid and are revived from the stone tower
and run back to the event map, you will lose damage for that time
and receive less compensation.

Snowball, a boss monster that appears on the event map when the
time is right, is an object-type monster that summons small snow
fairy miscellaneous mobs and shoots ice beams in all directions.
This season’s raid event gave rewards for defeating Snowball 100
times. As the monster’s stamina and defense increases the further
you go, it can be said that it takes approximately 40 minutes to an
hour to complete one turn.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: However, there is a bug where Snowball


randomly becomes stiff even if the skill is not hit when a certain
number of kills are exceeded.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: It hasn’t been fixed yet, right?

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: ㅇㅇ


[Guild] Park Hwibug: I also submitted an inquiry during general
training today.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: I don’t think they will fix it right away…ㅠ

[Guild] al0ha: Macro answer guide

It was as he said. In most cases, when you report a minor error,


they only give you a vague answer saying, “I will forward it to the
relevant team,” and it is not fixed even after a month. This is the
case with any game, so I feel comfortable not having high
expectations.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Maybe they should put it off as not a serious bug?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: I know Newta’s illusions well haha.

[Guild] al0ha: Mangemㅅㄱ

[Guild] Kitty Meow Meow: Mangemㅅㄱ

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Mangemㅅㄱ

Users thought that this event was a hastily prepared event to meet
the deadline. That was because there were many minor bugs from
the day the event map was opened.

There was a bug where the miscellaneous mobs summoned by the


boss monster stayed alive for a long time before disappearing even
when their health was reduced to 0, and there were certain jobs that
did not temporarily freeze even if they were hit by Snowball’s skill.

In addition, the supply boxes that occasionally come down from the
sky contain health recovery potions or items that provide buffs, but
sometimes they come down empty, and if healers apply a recovery
buff before the boxes land on the ground, when they open the
supply boxes, their health is restored to full health. It also happened.

[All] Taejeongtaese Beyonce: Stop wallpapering

[All] Sweetness: When will the event map be open?

[All] Wise Man: Can’t you read numbers? They said there were 40
seconds left.

[All] Sweetness: It doesn’t show up;;

[All] Swirling: Spelling mistake

[All] Sage: What is wrong?

[All] Wise Man: It’s counting down in big letters under the skill
window haha.

[All] Wise Man: Can’t you see this? Are you buying it?

[All] Sweetness: Hahahahaha hater dog/bird/kid is so rude


[All] Sweetness: Did you teach yourself home education?

[All] Cat Jelly: Shut up, both of you.

[All] Sweetness: You hater, don’t live like that, you bastard, just let
him know in a polite way, he’s a bastard.

[All] Wise Man: Uh haha, so I told you there were 40 seconds left
haha Now there are 20 seconds left.

[All] Sweetness: No, that number doesn’t appear to me;;

[All] Swirling: Spelling mistake

Just before the map opened, the gorgeous effects of various skills
filled the screen, making me lose my mind. In the entire chat, people
I saw for the first time were fighting over nothing special, and Yeo-
woon secretly followed the buffed characters and took advantage of
the various buff effects they were throwing around. There are
already more than ten buffs that appear under the lingering skill
window. Starting from increased attack power to reduced damage
and luck effects. I was full just looking at it.

[Server] ㅈi9Star has obtained the ‘Fluffy Snow Leopard Ear Hat’!

At that time, I saw a familiar nickname passing through the chats. It


seemed that Earth Star was just trying to draw rather than
participate in this raid.

[Server] ㅈi9Star has obtained the ‘Fluffy Snow Leopard Ear Hat’!
“He’s really lucky….”

Yeowoon muttered to himself and shook his head slightly. Even twice
in a row. What is the probability of a hat dropping?

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: How many hats do you have, Earth Star?
LOL

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Ah;;

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Everything is on sale except the pre-sale ticket.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Why do you need a sale ticket?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: LOL

Earth Star just laughed it off. Because of the guys flooding the entire
chat, the chat flow was too fast and there were only 5 seconds left in
the countdown, so Yeowoon stopped looking at the chat and
prepared to access the event map.

When the time came, the portal opened. Yeowoon jumped into the
portal faster than anyone else and pressed the up key. Just before
the screen switched to a loading illustration, a character with white
angel wings and fluffy hair appeared at the end of the screen.

***
In the middle of a snowy field during a blizzard. A small snowball is
thrown. The snowball spins in place and at some point grows in size,
and the screen blinks red and the word ‘WARNING!’ is engraved in
the center.

<From today, the four seasons are winter, winter, winter, winter. I
decided that way. so…I freeze all those who stand in my way!>

The Snowball character spoke a short line and began spewing cold
air and random mobs in all directions. Because it was an event in
which users of various levels participated, there was no particular
need for control. All we had to do was work together and focus on
cutting out the monster’s blood.

<Freeze!>

At this time, double jump at the right time. All you have to do is time
the ice beam that Snowball throws out from time to time to avoid it.
This was because if you were hit by an ice beam, you would be
frozen for as long as 5 seconds and could not use your skills.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Ah Kabi

[Party] Wandu Wandya: I thought I avoided it~

[Party] al0ha: Avoid it? Haha

[Party] al0ha: I saw you standing still^^


[Party] neutaaaa: Hahahahahaha I saw it too.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Ah, kabi~

[Party] Wandu Wandya: I thought I hadn’t seen either of them.

Wandu Wanda, who was hit by the ice beam and turned into a block
of ice, was released after 5 seconds. While he was frozen, Snowball
died once again. The boss monster’s health gauge appears as an
elongated gauge bar at the top of the screen.

‘Snowball x90’

The number after the snowball was the number of monster lives left.
So, after 90 more kills to level the game, one event raid turn will
end. There were definitely a lot of people, so it felt like the game was
changing faster than in the morning. The afterglow stuck to the snow
ball and used it at will, even as the skill cooldown expired. Several
skill effects overlapped, so I couldn’t even guess what skill I used.

[Server] ㅈi9 Byul has won the ‘Fluffy Winter Jeogori’!

And occasionally, it was said that Earth Star had won an item from a
lottery. I didn’t have time to congratulate them individually, so I just
had to look at them and move on.

<Freeze!>

The snowball spun around and fired ice beams in all directions.
Before the snowball spins, the normal attack stops for a moment
and the gauge is seen gathering inside the transparent glass ball.
Therefore, Yeowoon double-jumped by pressing the space bar at the
right time.

When Snowball’s ice beam was fired, most users jumped upwards to
avoid the beam.

[Party] neutaaaa: ??

However, the moment they landed on the ground, all users were
trapped in ice. As everyone became tense for 5 seconds, peace
came for a moment to the field where all kinds of skills were pouring
in. All the Moon Fairies, who were floating in the air and completely
out of skill range, occasionally gave buffs.

Yeo-woon captured the screen because it looked funny that


everyone was frozen and turned into ice.

[Party] neutaaaa: Is this a bug?

[Party] Wandu Wandya: ㅇㅇbugmangamekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Party] al0ha: Why are you really holding this?

[Party] al0ha: If you’re not going to work, why do you get paid?

Yeowoon filled up the stamina lost from being hit by the ice beam
with stamina potions and the recovery effect of lottery items.
‘Obtain Frozen Man’s Stinky Breath ×10’

‘Obtain Frozen Man’s Stinky Breath ×10’

‘Obtain Frozen Man’s Stinky Breath ×10’

‘Obtain Frozen Man’s Stinky Breath ×10’

‘Obtain Frozen Man’s Stinky Breath ×10’

Yeowoon sighed deeply. In the lottery, only trash items still came
out. Snow bunny, I miss you so much…. I didn’t expect it, but it’s a
line crossed that only this kind of miscellaneous item comes out. I
was really annoyed.

It was then.

<This can’t be right…. Winter comes back!>

There was a sudden bang from somewhere, and Snowball uttered a


death line in the middle of the quiet event map.

[All] Taejeongseo Beyonce: What?

[All] Friendliness: ??

[All] Geogikkarak: ?
[All] Jeongjeong TV: Wow

Just before the users who became stiff for 5 seconds were released
from the ice. There was a series of loud noises, and Snowball’s
health gauge, which had about 30% remaining, suddenly changed to
0%, dividing the game.

Except for the Moon Fairy, who was floating in the air, everyone was
in a frozen state, so the only attack that hit Snowball was the Moon
Fairy’s skills. Moon Fairy is a wizard-type job. Moon Fairy, who rides
the buff tree instead of attacking, lacks stamina and defense, so she
does not come near Snowball and only sprays buffs occasionally.

[All] Sunset: ㅇㅅㅇv

The white-haired Moon Fairy with an angel ring hanging above her
head was spinning around on the resurrected snow globe. Given the
circumstances, it appeared that Sunset alone had reduced the boss
monster’s health by more than 30%. Yeowoon narrowed his eyes
and let out a laugh. It seemed familiar to me, it was the guy I met in
the semi-finals of the last Isis Conquest War.

That’s a strange guy who was banned from chatting with the Earth
Star and used emoticons to communicate!

[All] Hoshi: Demjihack?

[All] Geogikarak: Hahahahahahaha

[All] Hoshi: It’s awesome. It’s my first time seeing nuclear weapons.
“…?”

Now that I think about it, I remembered seeing it on a list of hot


posts. I heard in guild chat that after the stigma of using nuclear
weapons was removed from Earth Star and Cat Meow Meow Meow,
a new scapegoat was created. However, I am not a member of the
bulletin board, and I thought there was no need to go to the posts I
was particularly excited about and evaluate the hacks or anything,
so I immediately forgot about it after hearing it….

[All] Lord of the Rings: ㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁㅁ you use a


hack in front of 100 people and get screwed haha.

[All] Lord of the Rings: Does it make sense to cut off 30% of the
remaining blood at level 25 in one blow?

It certainly didn’t make sense. How is Moon Fairy? Even for a


muscle damage dealer with a lot of critical hit options, it was almost
impossible to remove 30% of the remaining blood in one go.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Did you crit earlier?

[Party] al0ha: ㅇㅇ…. I think it wasn’t one room, but one or two or
three.

[Party] neutaaaa: Did you just say that was a hack?

[Party] al0ha: I don’t know that haha, but it’s a bit suspicious.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahaha…


Sunset stories continued to appear on the bulletin board. Most of the
sounds were bad, and there were a lot of high-level swear words. Of
course, such swear words were caught in the blinds soon after and
the post itself was deleted.

[All] Lord of the Rings: If I had been recording a video, I would have
sent a direct message to the inquiry;;;

[All] Jeongjeon TV:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[All] Jeongjeon TV: Sunset^^ Today is the day you get suspended lol

[All] Sunset: Huh? Do you know me??

[All] Jeongjeon TV: Is today the last day you can do illusion?

[All] Sunset: Wow…. Why are you speaking informally? It’s so scary.

[All] Jeongjeon TV: Enjoy to your heart’s content

[All] Sunset: Hahahahahahaha

[All] Sunset: ㄴㅇㅅㅇㄱ ♪♪

[All] Lord of the Rings: Hey Jeongjeon, are you broadcasting?


[All] Jeongjeong TV: Yes~^^ ★★ Please subscribe to Jeongjeong TV
on Twitch ★★

[All] Gardenia Fizz: Jeongjeong, I’m a 2nd grader, and my friends at


my school, the kids in my class who do illusions, the kids in other
classes, and I are all your fans ♥.♥

[All] Googikarak: Will the streaming video be uploaded on


Jeongjeong’s channel today??

[All] Jeongjeong TV: I will edit it and upload it right away^^

[Server] Gardenia Fizz: @@@@[Sunset] <<< Guys, this person


used a hack again!! Please criticize me when you have timeㅡㅡ

[Server] Gardenia Fizz: Ah, it’s a 3ch event map@@@@@@

[Server] Gardenia Fizz: No, not me >>[Sunset] << It’s this person, I
just saw it…Please don’t curse at a good citizen like me@@@@@

[All] Hyeonja: Jammin, you’re so noisy. Shut up.

[All] Gardenia Fizz: Haha, I don’t like it? Are you going to wallpaper
it?@@@@@@@

[All] Sunset: Be quiet now ㅇㅅ”ㅇ

[All] Wise Man: I’m not taking your side, so you, Sunset, just shut
up.
[All] Sunset: ㅠㅠ

The person who was broadcasting, the person who said he was
using nuclear weapons, and the person who started biting recklessly
because he had something to eat, although I wasn’t sure what
happened, overlapped and the chat window became a total mess. In
addition, because someone announced that the server Micro Sunset
was here, the number of people who moved to the 3-channel event
map from other channels increased, and the map capacity was full.

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Ah ok ㅡㅡ

[Party] neutaaaa: Should I change the channel?

[Party] al0ha: Hahahaha I think it will end soon.

However, it was also true that as the number of people increased,


Snowball’s stamina quickly decreased. Now, I only need to make 30
more decisions and then I can leave this map after receiving my
reward. In the guild chat, Yeowoon belatedly asked guild members
what was going on on the event map, and Yeo-woon answered that
it was no big deal and dutifully defeated the monster.

To be honest, I felt a bit sorry for Sunset being treated one-sidedly,


but I didn’t want to take her side either. This is because he does not
know the details of what happened, and he has not yet forgotten
how Sunset focused on beating him to death.

At that time, Sunset, who was flying in the center of the map, flew to
the very top and landed softly on the platform.
[All] Sunset: Hmm ㅇㅅㅇㅋㅋㅋ repertoire is very similar

[All] Sunset: Aren’t you tired of it?

[All] Sunset: Is there anything other than nuclear?

Sunset used an emoticon shaking her head and wandered around


the supply box that was generated on the map. Users who came to
curse at Sunset followed her every time she flew over the map, and
then followed her back again and again. There were more people
who came to see the sunset than those who flocked to the snow
globe.

And Sunset is above their heads, ‘Kkkkkkk!!’ and flew around


leisurely. I felt it last time too, but it was truly a proper act. A clock
icon ticked above his head. Sunset moved quickly across the map,
continuously popping the clock above her head.

“…?”

What is that?

At some point, Yeowoon began to quietly watch what Sunset was


doing rather than Snowball like everyone else.

[Server] ㅈi9Star has obtained the ‘Fluffy Snow Leopard Ear Hat’!

Oh, what is it? Is it him again?


[Party] Pea Wandya: Earth Star’s hat again hahahaha

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m hungry;;

[Party] al0ha: They sold everything except theirs.

[Party] al0ha: I’m just a hatter hahahaha

It was true that everything except the pre-sale rights was as he said.
It’s a district by district, and I’ve been online since this morning, but I
don’t think I’ve seen a single user who said a pre-sale ticket had
appeared. …Isn’t this really a probability manipulation game?
Yeowoon muttered to himself and repeatedly hit the skill whose
cooldown had returned and the HP recovery item.

‘You have acquired the item [Perpetual Sale Ticket for the Fluffy
Muscle Eye Rabbit] . Do you want to reveal your character name on
the server?’

“…uh?!”

My heart sank at the rare item drop window that suddenly appeared
on the screen. It is true that luck comes when you least expect it.
After a while, my heart started pounding and my hands started
shaking. Yeo-woon barely managed to press the Enter key with
trembling hands, and the fact that Yeo-woon had won the rabbit was
widely known throughout the entire server.

[Server] neutaaaa has obtained the ‘permanent sale ticket for the
Smooth Muscle Eye Rabbit’!
[Party] al0ha: Huh?

[Guild] neutaaaa: evil

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Guild] Park Hwibug: That’s floating.

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hahahahahaha I finally did it.

[Whispering] Jaeyoung Kang: Oh hahahahaha

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Congratulations, Newta!

[Whispering] Sonnenschrm: Can you tell me the coordinates of


where that came from?

[Whispering] Dark Forest: Buy it unconditionally at the asking price.

[Whispering] Sonnenschrm: You?? Can you give me the


coordinates?

Yeowoon completely ignored all the whispers. How did I get this
lucky…. It seemed like there would be no time left even if I died.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahaha thank you >_<haha


[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: What is it??

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahahahahaha

Yeo-woon, who finally got the desired item, opened the item window
and checked the snow rabbit sales ticket in the ‘Event’ tab. Perhaps
because it was a winter season item, unlike the others, there was
frost on the border of the pre-sale ticket. Even the half-frozen design
of the item was lovely. Yeowoon placed his hand on the mouse and
clicked on the item with trembling hands.

‘Would you like to use the [Smooth Muscle Eye Rabbit Permanent
Sale Ticket] ?’

Yes, yes, yes!

It was then that I took a deep breath with a reverential heart and
moved the mouse cursor close to the OK button. Behind the
window, I could see the translucent supply box taking shape and
fluttering down on a parachute. And as soon as I clicked the OK
button, the screen suddenly turned black and white, and when I
came to my senses, I saw my character lying dead on the floor.

“…?”

Why is he dead? Moreover, all the players around Yeowoon were


dead and lying on the floor like him. The snowball, which was busy
rolling between them, was the only one that showed any movement.

[All] Sage: Is this a bug?


[All] Wise Man: What is it?

[All] Jaehee: ??? Why are they all dead?

[All] Friendly: Is this a bug??

[Party] Wandu Wandya: Huh??

[Party] neutaaaa: …?

[All] Jeongjeong TV: ㅅㅂ

[All] Change the channel: Why is this not resurrecting?

[All] Friendly: ?????

[All] Love Arrow: SIBAL

[Party] al0ha: No, I’m embarrassed hahahaha I can’t use the buzzer.

The embarrassed Yeo-woon finally came to his senses and tried to


use the resurrection item, but it was blocked. Additionally, clicking on
the message asking if I wanted to return to the stone pagoda had no
effect.

[All] Taejeongtaese Beyonce: What are you doing, 1 foot, 1 meal?

[All] Sweetness: Hey guys, reviving the stone pagoda is not possible.
[All] Sweetness: Looks like a bug?

[All] Sunset: ㅇㅅㅇㅋ

[All] Jeongjeon TV: How is he alive?

[All] Sunset: Hahahahahaha aren’t you really stupid?

Sunset suddenly disappeared, leaving behind only one meaningful


word. The 3-channel event map was in chaos. Snowball, which only
needed to be defeated five times, was still alive and moving, and
there was not a single alive user left.

[Server] Music is Music: Please save me. I suddenly can’t revive on


the event mapㅠㅠ

[Server] MG Monkey: Channel 1 is now wiped out, but it cannot be


revived. Can someone contact me about the error?

[Server] Music is Music: We have 6 channels, is that the same for 1


channel?

[Server] WOWO: Sunset is one new meal


hahahahahahahahahahaha

After a while, people started raising server microphones on all


channels. It took less than an hour for Sunset, who went to another
channel map, to slaughter everyone and take an overwhelming first
place in the rankings. Even when I logged out and reconnected, it
was stuck in a dead state on the event map.
[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Don’t come.

[Guild] al0ha: Don’t enter the event map right now. Everyone is
locked up right now because of a bug;;

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Haha;;;;;;;

Sunset belatedly heard about the incident and even killed the people
who came to see it. Perhaps because it is an event map and it is the
most crowded time, a screenshot was posted on the bulletin board
showing that the entire city was deserted due to people trapped in
the event map.

The entire server was engulfed in confusion. Chat started to go up


faster than before. After finishing all the channels, Sunset belatedly
returned to Channel 3 and went around in a circle, looking at the
corpses and giggling.

[All] Sunset: Hahahahaha I had a good time ㅇㅅㅇ

[All] Sunset: ㅇㅅㅇ Jamttahahaha

And leaving these words alone, he leisurely left the map alone.

[Server] TaejeongtaeseBeyoncé: Everyone, check the rankings now.


Received King.

An overwhelming score difference, double the score of second


place, and the highest record ever.
Sunset was sitting in first place.

Title: Drying Cigarettes

Author: Jinx/Healer

A dog chewy makes all the event map ten channels.

All the people running in the event are dead. The buzzer is not
working. I can’t revive the stone tower and even if I turn off the
game and relaunch it, it’s the same haha.

(screenshot.jpg)

It’s true, they’re all dead;;

I hope the management quickly understands the situation and


resolves it quickly;;

- Those bastards who advertised to come to Seomaro event map,


go to hell; No, you can’t respawn or move, so this means you should
play the game or not…. I told you to finish all the job change quests
today haha.

-It’s funny, it’s not my job~ haha


⤷?

⤷Is this funny?

⤷Whaha I said it was funny because it was funny, but why the fuck?
It’s my opinion, respect it.

⤷Then you can write a separate post and say something lol. I can
see why you bother to come to a lament post and say it’s funny.

⤷;;;

⤷(Photo) Park Je haha I’m behind now. Don’t dig up alts and just
stick with that nickname. Hello Ryan.

⤷Is this really a scam?

⤷Hello Ryan, this guy is originally a member of the public. Stop


eating.

-I could only use the computer for an hour this weekend, but my
mom turned it off…I’m really annoyed. How can this be resolved?

⤷It’s okay, it’s okay.

-It’s the weekend. Will it be processed right away?

⤷That’s why haha


-What channel are you on?

⤷Jinx: 5

⤷I have 7 channels

⤷Except 10 houses now.

⤷ㄴI’m sorry, but channel 10 is over.

⤷ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Then the entire channel will be wiped out lol.

⤷I was on channel 3 and it got cut off starting from channel 3…I
think someone named Sunset is like that.

-Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

-What are you talking about? Event map PVP is not possible;;

⤷That makes it even more questionable.

⤷ Check out Jeongjeong TV. Jeongjeong uploads the unedited


version to his channel.

⤷Who watches Jikjeong TVㅋㅋ I don’t watch it because the fat in


that guy’s voice is dirty lol

-You’re crazy lol;;


-(Photo) Hey, there is no one on the roof of Isis…. Is this
apocalypse?

⤷ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋApocalypseㅇㅈㄹ

⤷ Wow, that place is a hot spot even in the early morning.

⤷ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ You can see the fortress on the event map.

-I heard Sunset said that to Seomaro. Isn’t he a hack?

⤷ㅇㅇ

⤷Why do you guys keep calling for nuclear weapons? Haha.


Separate from this incident, nuclear weapons are not real…. Look at
the skill description, you idiots haha.

⤷Why the shield? HOXY yourself?

⤷Is this you?

⤷ Hahahahahahahahahaha I’m coming from sunset hahahaha

⤷What kind of sunset is this? Don’t you guys know how to think?
Your brain is heavy so you leave it at home?ㅠ

⤷ㄴYes, I listened to your self-introduction carefully.


-President, please execute Sunset.

-This is also a problem for those who drove Sunset from 3 houses.
Since you guys were so damned about using nuclear weapons
against a crazy guy, didn’t Sunset turn around and massacre the
entire server?

⤷It sounds like he was genuinely happy to see Yama.

⤷I’m sorry, but you can’t think like a normal person. He is the type
of guy who usually kills random kids passing by the guild zone that
he doesn’t like.

-I watched the decision video and it seems like the supply box is the
problem. The decision is also being said in streaming right now
because of the box. As soon as the box comes down and opens,
everyone breaks their backs and dies, so it looks like they’re missing
something? hmm

⤷ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Does that make sense?

⤷ Well, if the same thing happened on the previous channel, it must


have been a bug at least haha. It’s disgusting that they just blindly
chase after one person after being caught haha. Your family knows
that you’re leaving malicious comments on the internet, right?

⤷ㄴHe’s the guy who was shielding from above you.

⤷ ㄴ What bug is it? When he changed the channel, the channel


immediately crashed and there was a bug? Hahaha Then the
medium through which the bug was transferred was Sunset?

⤷It’s more disgusting to hear an ignorant person talk. ^^ Watch the


video and tell me, you idiot.

⤷ㅆㅅIt seems right…Before dropping off the supply box, use


Double Crow and Time Bomb skills…. I was a little confused
because it wasn’t Moon Fairy, but after looking up a few videos, I
think this is correct. I used Double Crow to prepare for good luck
and took N times the damage, and then used Time Bomb to set off
a time bomb at the same time.

⤷ㄴFuck hahahaha

⤷ㄴㄴThis is it

-Is the operations team aware of this situation?

⤷Do you understand?

⤷I don’t know if it’s a hundred percent lol.

⤷Of course I know

-If the server is rolled back because of this, what happens to the
items I obtained then?? Did you raise your level?

⤷Extinction
⤷Hahahaha please don’t roll back I’m not dead!

-How long should I wait? When will you fix this…

⤷ What I’m sayingㅠㅠ Let’s play a game…. My hands are shaking

I couldn’t even eat dinner. Yeowoon gnawed his lips and waited
anxiously for the notice to be posted. The Time Bomb incident was
widely spread not only on game company homepage bulletin boards
but also in the general gaming community. After a few hours, the
game went into a temporary maintenance state, and after the
maintenance was hastily completed, a notice was posted saying that
it was back to normal. Responses were divided, with some criticizing
whether the response was too late and others saying it was pitiful to
work on the weekend.

As soon as the game maintenance was over, Yeowoon quickly


logged in and found himself in front of the Isis Stone Tower. While
fixing the bug, it seemed like all the users on the event map were
taken to Isis.

[Server] Hyeonja: @@@@@@@@ Inquiry posting time is 10 PM


today @@@@@@@@

Yeowoon immediately opened the item window and checked to see if


there was a pre-sale right.

“….”
Yeowoon’s eyes wavered. The space where the snow rabbit sales
ticket should have been was empty, and several items that should
have been in the equipment window were also missing. I’m not the
only one. Everyone expressed their dissatisfaction with items
disappearing and a death penalty that reduces experience points.

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Should I just fold it?

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: LOL, my mentality is shattered.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow: Peanut ㅠㅠ

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ㅠㅠ

‘Wandu Wandya has terminated the connection.’

“….”

Wandu Wandya left the game. He said that one full piece of
equipment was gone, and al0ha didn’t care because a useless item
was gone. The entire weekend was paralyzed by the joy of getting
the right to sell and the misfortune that came less than a minute
later.

Something feels weak. Not only did the item disappear, but the
event map stopped working and I felt an inexplicable sense of
skepticism as I waited anxiously all day.

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Don’t fold it ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ


[Guild] neutaaaa: Enjoy the game, everyone.

[Guild] 9 stars: Get it

‘neutaaaa has terminated the connection.’

“….”

After I turned off the game, the whole house was quiet. I felt like I
was standing on the border between reality and the game and was
forced into reality. I hated this silence. Yeowoon closed his eyes and
composed his mind.

“… Sunset fucking bastard.”

The dog is annoying and crazy. Just give it a chance, I won’t leave
you alone. The more I thought about it, the more I felt sick. I’ve
never had a good relationship with that bastard. I can’t report it to
the police, what should I do? I wanted revenge, but I couldn’t think
of a suitable way to get revenge. It was clear that the game
company would take some action, but if the server was rolled back
to the time before the incident occurred, the lost rabbit would not
return. Yeo-woon turned off the computer, thinking that he wanted to
hit Sunset hard on the head.

If I just stay at home, I will get so hot that I won’t be able to do it.
Yeowoon took his cell phone and wallet that were on the desk. And
as soon as I opened the front door, I came face to face with a
startled Yoon Ji-gu.
“….”

“….”

For a moment, my head stiffened.

Why is he standing in front of my house?

“Earth, why?”

I didn’t even drink alcohol. I probably didn’t mistake the house for my
sanity. Yun Ji-gu looked oddly anxious. His hair was disheveled and
floating in places, and he looked down at himself, holding only his
phone tightly in one hand. Ji-gu Yoon stared at the lingering sight
with shaking eyes for a while before opening his mouth.

“… Please lend me a driver.”

“…?”

What driver suddenly appeared?

***
A few hours later. Yeowoon sat with his back on the sofa and slowly
closed his eyes. I don’t know how this happened. Yeo-woon was now
in Yun Ji-gu’s house, and on the TV screen, a foreign man with a
gray face running away was sawed and his body split in two.

He was in a daze from the alcohol and could barely recall the
situation from a couple of hours ago.

“driver? I’m sure it exists… I can’t remember where I put it.”

“….”

“Are you in a hurry?”

Yun Ji-gu blinked his eyes and nodded as he slightly frowned his
eyebrows as if in trouble.

“Are you trying to leave now?”

“huh. I just wanted to go out and get some air.”

“I see…. Then I’d like to go out with you.”

“together? why?”

“I need a driver. I really need it, but there is no one I can borrow it
from other than my brother….”
Ji-gu Yoon seemed to want to go out and buy a screwdriver, and
there was no reason to refuse. Yeo-woon suddenly left the building
with Yun Ji-gu behind him. Ji-gu Yoon kept an eye on Yeo-woon as
he walked across the park in front of the house to the supermarket
in front of him. There was no way Yeo-woon could not notice that he
cared about how she felt.

He was more talkative than usual and glanced at me all the time.
Above all, when Yeo-woon gave a formal answer to his words, she
reacted in a more exaggerated way, even including gestures.
Today’s Yoon Ji-gu was a slightly excited version of Yoon Ji-gu. I
wondered why he was acting like that because his behavior was
somewhat different from his usual behavior, but I also found it cute
because he seemed young on the inside.

‘I guess I was like that when I was a college student.’

Actually, there isn’t that much of an age difference at just four years,
but these days, the things Yoon Ji-gu does seem quite cute. As Yeo-
woon laughed quietly, Ji-gu Yoon also smiled faintly, as if relieved.

As soon as Yeowoon entered the supermarket, he naturally scooped


up all the alcohol he could see. Yun Ji-gu, seeing him like that,
asked, ‘Are you going to drink all this alone?’ He muttered as if he
was tired. Then I left the supermarket, ate an oden at a food stall in
front of the park, and started walking home.

“brother.”

“huh?”
“… What happened today?”

Jigu Yoon asked while walking in unison. Yeowoon was a little


surprised by the words that hit the nail on the head, but smiled
unfazed.

“Nothing’s going on.”

“really?”

“Why is that?”

“…Today my brother….”

What did I do? Did you reveal it subconsciously? Since it had


nothing to do with Yoon Ji-gu, I deliberately tried to treat him as
usual. Don’t let your emotions become your attitude. However, it
seems that Yun Ji-gu’s sensitive eyes could not be hidden. For some
reason, I’ve been watching you subtly since a while ago.

“Me, what?”

“Oh, no. You look ugly today.”

“and. Are you suddenly starting a fight?”

Yeo-woon clenched his fist and punched Ji-gu Yoon’s body without
causing any pain. Then Yoon Ji-gu said, ‘Ah!’ He said and snarled.
“It didn’t hurt that much….”

“I was sick.”

The early winter evening was quite chilly. Warmth moved from the
paper cup containing the oden soup to my palm. On the way back,
the street lights came on just in time. It felt like the day was ending. I
was definitely in a gloomy mood before I opened the front door, but
now I didn’t feel as bad as I thought.

“brother.”

While waiting for the elevator on the first floor, Ji-gu Yoon, who
seemed to have something he wanted to say earlier, opened his
mouth. he asked, wringing his hands.

“Well, that… . Would you like to go watch a movie at my house?”

“Why am I watching a movie with you… ?”

Moreover, Yoon Ji-gu, who seemed strange today, seemed to have


caught the wind and suddenly invited Yeo-woon to his house. Maybe
he said it with a lot of heart in mind, but he seemed anxious that he
might be rejected.

“Well, there’s a movie I want to see. It’s a bit hard to watch alone.”

Is it a horror movie?
“But it’s okay if you don’t like me. Then let’s watch it alone, well….”

“Can you really watch it alone?”

“no!”

It was funny to answer so quickly that I burst out laughing.

“I thought so. Then I’ll think about it for a moment.”

“yes.”

“….”

“Have you thought about everything?”

“What’s so urgent? “Not even 10 seconds have passed.”

“What should I do? “If I go back anyway, there’s nothing to do.”

Jigu Yoon grumbled. I wanted to refute something, but Ji-gu Yoon


was right. There was nothing to do when I got back. I think I’ll just
drink alone until I go to bed anyway, so wouldn’t it be nice to have
someone to talk to? It’s not someone else, and if it’s Yoon Ji-gu, it’s
not an uncomfortable partner. The house I followed Yun Ji-gu into
had a somewhat different atmosphere from a few months ago. A lot
of things had happened.
A tuxedo cat with only a white belly and muzzle was lying limply on
the cat tower near the living room window, slowly closing its eyes.
The cat looked at Yun Ji-gu and Yeo-woon and then turned its head
to stare out the window. It didn’t seem to have much interest in
strangers or even its owner.

“You don’t even pretend to see me.”

“He’s not polite at all. But it’s cute.”

“huh.”

“Then come back when you get hungry or bored. It’s very cute.”

“Do you have a name?”

“Yoonposong.”

“uh?”

What did I just hear…? I was dazed for a while because it felt
strange to hear a cute word come out of Yoon Ji-gu’s mouth.

“uh…cute. Hello Posong.”

One of the cat’s ears perked up. I couldn’t tell if I heard it or not. Yun
Ji-gu smiled proudly when she was told she was cute, as if she had
received a compliment.
“Can I get you a cup?”

“it’s okay. I’ll just drink it like this.”

“Is that so?”

He left Yeowoon sitting in the living room, found the remote control,
and turned on the TV. It was so serious that Yeo-woon
absentmindedly took beer cans out of the bag and stacked them on
the table. It seemed like Yoon Ji-gu really wanted to watch a movie
together. He immediately played the movie, starting from the poster
with a large close-up of the actor’s face in scary makeup.

‘Isn’t this scary?’

I muttered to myself that it was a movie I knew. From the beginning


of the movie, a gloomy piano sound rang out. I saw this movie once
last summer, but I didn’t tell Ji-gu Yoon about it. It was a movie I
enjoyed quite a bit, so I didn’t think I would get bored if I watched it
again. Plus, I kind of forgot the contents. All I remember is that
people are dying one by one every ten minutes from the middle of
the movie.

Yoon Ji-gu leaned back on the sofa and sat down on the floor,
following the lingering emotions.

“Now, you too, have a drink.”

Ji-gu Yoon, who was looking down at the can in Yeo-woon’s hand,
nodded. If he held it tightly like that, it would become lukewarm and
not taste good, but Yun Ji-gu just sat there frozen for a long time
without even taking the can.

I didn’t do much today, but perhaps because I was mentally


exhausted, I felt tired as the tension went away. The alcohol burns
down the esophagus and goes down. With all the lights turned off
except for one dim auxiliary light, it was very easy to concentrate on
the movie.

“….”

“….”

However, even though the sound of the movie was this loud, I was
more concerned about Yun Ji-gu, who was sitting next to me, than
about the TV. Was it because the hand resting gently on his knee
was trembling slightly?

“scared?”

Yoon Ji-gu glanced back at Yeo-woon’s whisper.

“Are you scared?”

“What do you mean? “When did that scary scene come out?”

“Your hands are shaking.”

“….”
At those words, Yun Ji-gu’s gaze lowered slightly to his hands.

“Why are you saying you’re nervous?”

Jigu Yoon snorted and frowned. He clenched his fists in his lap to
hide the shaking of his hands. Although he was acting quite calm, he
was clearly shaking. We’ve already been caught, so what difference
will it make if we raise our fists now?

“You actually can’t watch horror movies, right?”

“Oh, no, please don’t get along.”

“No matter what I do, I always get annoyed. Yoon grumbled.”

Yun Ji-gu’s ears heated up at the laughter in his voice. He made a


straight face as he sat down to the side to avoid the lingering feeling
of being pulled towards me.

“Earth, tell me honestly.”

“When did I lie… .”

“Is this the movie you wanted to see? “You didn’t turn it on wrong?”

“Why are you driving people away? Because you don’t like horror
movies? Really, don’t be funny. My brother doesn’t know anything.
…Oh, don’t come any closer!”
I was so scared that I wanted to harass him even more. The shaking
in my hands seemed to get worse as I grabbed my wrists. Around
Yeo-woon, there were only people casually eating lunch and
watching gore movies for fun. So Yoon Ji-gu’s reaction was not only
refreshing but also provocative.

“Then do you like it?”

“…yes?”

“Horror movie. i like you?”

“….”

Ji-gu Yoon was dazed for a while, then shook off Yeo-woon’s hand
and muttered.

“Don’t pretend to know…. I’m not scared at all.”

lie.

“I’m so annoyed, really….”

He played with the wrist that Yeo-woon had grabbed and glanced at
Yeo-woon. I can’t believe you don’t even notice that you’re nervous.
Even this was like Yoon Ji-gu.
***

Yeowoon Lee is really crazy.

“brother.”

“….”

“Hyung, are you sleeping?”

“….”

“Hey, Lee Yeowoon.”

I muttered his name softly, squeezed his shoulder and shook him
slightly, but Yeowoon only twitched his eyebrows.

“Are you really sleeping?”

It was absurd. Ji-gu Yoon picked up the remote control and


immediately lowered the TV volume to 0, then looked back at Yeo-
woon in bewilderment.

Are you a psychopath?

How can you sleep after seeing that?


After the killer appeared, fresh blood was seen on the screen, and
people’s screams of agony could be heard in unforgettable ways.
However, Lee Yeo-woon watched a person being chopped up by a
chainsaw with a normal face, and was not at all surprised when a
killer suddenly appeared. Moreover, Yeo-woon, who had almost
emptied all the alcohol he had bought by himself, became silent at
some point, and when he turned to the side, he was dozing with his
head resting on the sofa.

Was it insensitive or was I just really tired? Yun Ji-gu turned and sat
down and looked into Yeo-woon’s face. Ji-gu Yoon, who had
inadvertently brought his hand close to his long eyelashes, was
startled when he belatedly withdrew his hand. Today was the third
time I brought this lingering feeling into my home. The first time was
when I had no choice because of my nephew, and the second time
was when Yeo-woon became so feverish that I collapsed. and…
today.

However, the feeling is quite different from the previous two times.

At first, I hated Lee Yeowoon so much. Even if it was due to a


misunderstanding, it is true that Yeowoon’s behavior was a bit
different from that of an ordinary person. So, there was no choice
but to misunderstand at that time.

But now….

“…I do not know.”

The longest waiting time of the day is 7 PM. Sometimes, when


Yeowoon is busy and doesn’t come to the swimming pool, I don’t
know why I feel so abandoned. Even on days when I didn’t have to
go to a cafe, I deliberately sat by the window and looked outside all
day. And as Yeo-woon, who accessed Illusion, laughed at the karma
of regret he had for mistreating the planet Earth without even
knowing that he was Ji-gu Yoon, night came.

I didn’t want Lee Yeo-woon to go somewhere my eyes couldn’t


reach.

Lee Yeo-woon hated hearing harsh words from others.

I didn’t want Lee Yeo-woon to give up the game.

I hated that my time with Lee Yeo-woon was decreasing.

I started to enjoy walking quietly with Lee Yeo-woon at night, and I


no longer hated him.

Lee Yeo-woon’s swimming skills are nothing short of laughable, and


she doesn’t even hate having him wait for her outside the locker
room.

No, actually….

I liked this Yeowoon.

“Brother, are you really sleeping?”

He was a really strange person. Instead of approaching first, he


approached me without getting tired even though I showed my
dislike with my whole body. Yeowoon always spoke to me first, was
annoying, kept showing me what he liked, kept being mean to me,
and even always smiled prettily.

“… You’re sleeping, right?”

It was an impulse that led me to visit his house today. He had no


talent for comfort, and he didn’t even have the courage to reveal
that he was from Earth. I just felt like I was scared that the afterglow
would go somewhere.

“then….”

Yeowoon Lee did it.

He ended up successfully seducing someone who was neither


interested in dating nor gay.

“Just keep sleeping.”

And this is the final confirmation.

Ji-gu Yoon brought his hand closer as if to grab Yeo-woon’s


shoulder, but in the end, he couldn’t grab it and just stopped his
hand in the air. My fingertips were trembling. Ji-gu Yoon’s head
slowly lowered, and he closed his eyes tightly and gently kissed Yeo-
woon’s lips.

As soon as the soft warmth touched her lips, Jigu Yoon was startled
and took a step back. They say heaven’s bells ring in my head when
I kiss for the first time, but when I actually try it, it’s nothing special.
All I can hear is my heartbeat. The heartbeat was so strong that I
was short of breath. It was because of Lee Yeowoon.

What should I do?

Lee Yeowoon stole my first kiss….

“… Fuck.”

Jigu Yoon quickly got up from his seat and ran to the bathroom. I
returned to the living room after pouring cold water on my face to
soothe my face that was about to burst. Only the cat was sitting
where Yeowoon was sitting, looking pitifully at Yoon Ji-gu.

Lee Yeo-woon, who had been sleeping peacefully just a moment


ago, was nowhere to be found.
#07.
Jeonse Reversal

A German philosopher is known to have a very thorough sense of


time. It is said that people who went for a walk at the same time
every day could guess the time by looking at the philosopher. Let’s
assume that a philosopher who followed the same lifestyle pattern
every day suddenly takes a different route for a walk or sets out
earlier than expected. The first question people will ask is ‘Why?’

‘…what?’

When Yeo-woon saw Yoon Ji-gu walking straight towards him, a


million question marks appeared in his head. Swimming pool at 7
o’clock every evening. Yoon Ji-gu wearing a full body swimsuit. Even
if it wasn’t specifically stated, this was no different from an implicit
promise. However, Ji-gu Yoon threw away the full-body swimsuit
after a few months. I don’t know what kind of change of heart he
had, but it was quite surprising.

“brother.”

“Uh, huh?”

Yeo-woon stuttered without realizing it and looked up at Yun Ji-gu.


He looked up at the clock on the highest point of the pool wall and
said, ‘There’s still time.’ He mumbled and went into the water.
Yeowoon inadvertently took a step back.
“Why didn’t you come to the swimming pool yesterday?”

Jigu Yoon asked with his arms crossed. The narrowed eyes were
fierce.

“I just have some work to do….”

Yeowoon scratched his cheek and answered. Yun Ji-gu in front of


me had too much skin color today. It’s just a male body that is
commonly found everywhere. However, after covering it up every
day, it was pushed in front of my eyes without warning, so I kept
looking at it.

“swimsuit….”

“….”

“You changed it?”

At Yeo-woon’s words, the tips of Yun Ji-gu’s ears, who had always
had a sullen expression, took on a faint peach color. He briefly
cleared his throat a couple of times and nodded slightly.

“I see, swimsuit….”

“….”

“You changed it.”


Yeowoon mumbled something meaningless and smiled awkwardly,
having nothing to say.

“brother.”

“huh?”

“Can I ask you something?”

He continued speaking without waiting for Yeo-woon’s answer.

“last weekend….”

“huh.”

The gaze was strange. He doesn’t even hide his eyes that seem to
be observing me. He looked at the afterglow for a while and then
continued.

“… What happened?”

“Work? “There is no such thing.”

Yeowoon answered in a calm tone.

“No, I left for a short while and when I came back, he wasn’t there.”

“Did you?”
Yeowoon rolled his eyes, staring into space as if recalling a few days
ago, then shook his head.

“I’m sorry, I left without cleaning it up…. I guess I came home in my


sleep.”

“…is it so.”

Jet black eyes stared at Yeowoon’s face. I felt strangely abyssed, as


if I could see right through my inner thoughts. It was all Yoon Ji-gu’s
fault for not saying anything and wearing a new swimsuit.

“But there are a lot of cans of beer left. Why don’t you take them?”

“If there’s any leftover, you can just eat it.”

“Nope.”

“…?”

“I don’t drink much, do I? It tastes awful. It’s what my brother


bought, so I’ll take it all.”

“Okay, I’ll get it today… . What are you saying?”

Yeo-woon was complaining about Ji-gu Yoon so that he could hear


him, and pushed him with his foot.
“The instructor is here. Let’s talk afterward.”

“Oh, why did you come so quickly?”

He dipped his head into the water and moved over to the next lane.
There aren’t many days when Jigu Yoon makes the first move. Most
days, I kept glancing around here and waiting for someone to talk to
me. People except those in the basic class began to come out of the
water one by one. It seems to be a diving day.

People on the diving board fell into the water one after another in a
normal posture. I raised my head and made eye contact with Jigu
Yoon. He began to stretch, stretching his arms out to the sides,
perhaps on purpose.

“Why are you like that….”

The fact that they immediately made eye contact when he raised his
head meant that Yun Ji-gu had been looking at him even before
that. The gaze of a pair of eyes on my face for an entire hour was
so persistent. What did he eat wrong?

There are so many things happening these days that disturb me.
After washing up, Yeo-woon came out and looked at his cell phone
while waiting for Yun Ji-gu outside. A message arrived from Earth a
couple of hours ago.

By Earth

A reward notice just popped up.


After the incident, I didn’t enter the illusion, and no messages were
sent to Earth. Of course, even if it came, I would have chewed it all
up. It seems that the planet Earth, which constantly sends useless
messages, has some sense of it.

Anyway, I knew from the guild chatroom that Sunset, that crazy
asshole, had his account suspended for 6 months. Still, the missing
item did not return. People who lost enhanced equipment items or
limited fashion items wrote messages saying they would burn down
the Illusion headquarters building and quit the game.

But the compensation notice appears this late? Yeowoon clicked on


the link sent by Earth Star and opened it.

Title: Information on compensation plan for goods and items lost due
to event map PK

Written by: GM Strawberry

Hello, illusion players. These are GM strawberries.

Following the previous bug fix notice, ‘Goodbye Winter! This is an


announcement regarding the management’s apology for the PK
incident that occurred on the ‘Snow Flake’ event map and the
compensation plan for the incident.

‘Goodbye Winter! Snow Flake’s event map is a map created by


modifying and combining the existing monster tower and battle
arena systems. In subjugation battles, the PK function was excluded
to allow only attacks on event monsters, so resurrection by player
kill was completely blocked.
On the 19th, Moon Fairy’s ‘Double Crow’ and ‘Time Bomb’ skills
were applied to the supply box, paralyzing the entire event map. We
sincerely apologize for not being able to confirm that the magician
class’s buff was applied to the supply box during the process of
preparing for the event. Through emergency maintenance, the event
map can be used normally, but the ‘Token of Resurrection’ item was
not applied properly, resulting in a death penalty to all players within
the map.

We determined that this was an act of exploiting a loophole in the


system and that it violated our operating policy, so we suspended
the player’s account temporarily. In addition, we judged that the
operation team’s negligence in not double-checking the event map
for bugs in advance was a big mistake.

We will inform you of the compensation plan accordingly.

[Information on compensation plan]

*For all players who were online at the time the incident occurred:
[Ice Crystal Draw] 20 items

*For players who experienced an error on the event map during the
PK incident: 50 [Ice Crystal Draw] items and 500 [Snowflake]
(untradable) items will be provided.

*Items lost due to death penalty: Received through mailbox.

*For players who lose experience due to death penalty: [Experience


Candy] (untradable) item containing the corresponding experience
will be delivered to the mailbox.
The compensation announced will be paid through regular
maintenance at 10 a.m. the next day. If there is anything missing,
please contact us through 1:1 inquiry and we will do our best to
respond immediately.

We apologize for the delay due to an internal meeting discussing a


compensation plan appropriate for the damage. Illusion players will
appreciate your interest and criticism regarding this.

We apologize for the inconvenience.

(This is a post that cannot be commented on.)

“…!”

Everything else is done, if you can restore the missing item…It was
said that the rabbit was coming back!

Those damn bastards…. From now on, don’t operate like that.

I’ll forgive you just this once :)

-The title is annoying.

⤷ㅇㅉ?ㅗ

-You can stick Godgame anywhere.

⤷ㅋㅋㅋㅋThat’s why hahaha God game said they would restore it


lol

-All the members who quit will come back, right?

Title: Surprisingly, it can be restored

Posted by Baby Shoe/Transcription

A lot of people, starting with streamers, are quitting, so I guess they


felt a sense of crisis.

I don’t know if I’ll just ignore it and ignore it lol I’m glad that the guild
members who left the guild are back, but it’s unclear if they’ll all
come back…. If an incident like that had happened and everything
had been resolved during an emergency inspection right away, no
one would have quit, right? Even when we post a bug fix notice after
the emergency inspection, there is no mention of compensation, so
people get upset. Why not?

I guess no one in Illusion knows how to think like this.

-The thought of my blood-like item coming back brings me to tearsㅜ
ㅜ I wanted to quit it too, but I couldn’t. This is how I raised my baby
ㅜㅜㅜ

⤷Me too hahahaha

⤷ It’s a pig and a pig haha.

1_im
g

⤷ㄴAll the idiots who leave comments like this are all messed up in
this day and age haha. Even if you don’t look, you can see how they
look haha.

-Hmm, they said they would return the item?

⤷ㄴNotice

-The compensation is given through mailboxes, so I wonder if it will


arrive properly…thief

-It’s so irresponsible to ask for a one-on-one inquiry if payment is not


received. You’re saying you won’t get it back if you don’t inquire?

⤷So hahahahaha. People like me who don’t know what a missing


item is, how do they get paid?
-But is this something that will take this long? Don’t you just need to
check if you’re logged in and press the apply button?

⤷ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋ

⤷They didn’t want to give compensation, so they were hitting each


other internally haha. Transparent.

-But then Sunbal bastard will come back in 6 months?

⤷Do you want to come? I’m embarrassed so I can’t come haha.

⤷I think I’m going to sell a new account…. In my experience, kids


like that don’t change games often;

⤷But isn’t she Gilma? It’s so fun to see the guild explode haha

-Praise God Game

⤷Jam

⤷Reportㄱ

-Hold an event for returning users.

⤷You crazy guy hahahahahahahahaha not even a week has


passed.
There was no reason why I couldn’t go back if the game returned to
normal. It was a double blessing because I wouldn’t have to see that
white head again for six months.

“Oh, what a surprise!”

I don’t know when he approached me, but Jigu Yoon was looking at
his phone from behind.

“Do you have something to say?”

“no. I was wondering why you were looking at me like that.”

“not a big deal.”

“…But brother, don’t you have anything to say to me?”

“I?”

Ji-gu Yoon nodded. I thought about it carefully, but there was nothing
I wanted to say to Ji-gu Yoon. Yeowoon blinked and slowly shook his
head. I forgot about it for a moment while looking at the
compensation plan, but something is strange about Yoon Ji-gu
today. All the way home, I couldn’t shake the feeling that something
had changed.

hey
After much thought, Yeowoon decided to share her concerns with a
close friend.

Seonyong

what

I think my neighbor likes me.

Seonyong

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Seonyong

Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Seonyong

It’s your karma.

Seonyong

Take care of it, I’m going to sleep.

“This dog….”
I need to cut ties with unhelpful friends as soon as possible.

Yeo-woon looked at the can of beer he had received from Ji-gu Yoon
without even putting it in the refrigerator and sighed. Looking at what
Ji-gu Yoon did today, I could roughly outline it.

He looks at himself all the time, and sometimes even blushes. She
even took off her full-body swimsuit and showed me her body. You
may be able to fool others, but you cannot fool yourself, who is
quick-witted. Yeowoon furrowed his eyebrows as he recalled the
weekend evening.

The sound of the movie died down, and after a while, something
touched my lips. I was still asleep, but….

“….”

Could it be that Yoon Ji-gu really kissed me that night?

***

Jigu Yoon secretly kissed me while I was sleeping. Yun Ji-gu also
asked me to watch that movie first…. It is said that the intention of
bringing him into the house was clear.
‘So, Yoon Ji-gu likes me? why?’

Even now, Yoon Ji-gu was secretly snooping around in front of me,
as if he wanted something from me. It was nice that he dragged me
into the cafe by asking him if he wasn’t supposed to come to the
cafe at least three times a week, and made that ridiculous excuse.

“Eat this. Because there’s a lot left.”

“…?”

However, as a service, he brought me vanilla cookies that he said he


had baked, and cleaned the table next to me, which had been empty
all along, three times. Then, after looking at himself, he suddenly
moves the position of the central stove. At the same time, it seemed
strange that he didn’t say a word.

“Earth.”

When he came over to wipe the table for the fourth time. I called his
name because it seemed like he wanted me to talk to him. Then his
broad shoulders trembled. As if my prediction was correct, he got
angry and came closer and raised his head.

“why?”

“Do you have something to say to me?”

“… What about you?”


“I don’t have any.”

“Then when on earth are you going to tell me?”

“What are you talking about? “I asked because you kept staring at
me without saying anything.”

Yoon Ji-gu blinked at the humorous words.

“Me?”

“You looked at me.”

“….”

“Why aren’t you saying anything?”

At Yeo-woon’s words, Yun Ji-gu looked to his left and right,


confirmed that there was no one who could hear this conversation,
and whispered softly.

“Well, someone said it was cool to keep my mouth shut….”

“who?”

“just doing nothing.”

“Do you want to look good for me?”


Yun Ji-gu’s face suddenly heated up.

“Oh, it’s not like that.”

And then he goes back angry. He’s a really strange kid. I don’t think
he treated me that well, but I should have recognized him from the
moment he blushed alone. Until now, I thought he was just shy, but
that wasn’t the case. Yeowoon felt a strange sense of déjà vu, as if
something like this had happened before.

But what’s even stranger than that is that he was unaware of Yun Ji-
gu’s feelings, revealing his true feelings so transparently. Moreover,
once I noticed it, it was a big deal because all of Yoon Ji-gu’s actions
seemed like he put his heart into it.

…But the problem was that it wasn’t just disgusting and disgusting.
Is it because he’s handsome?

Yeo-woon looked at the vanilla cookies that Ji-gu Yun had baked for
a long time. There was only one intention: to give a gift to someone
you like. bribe. It contains the meaning of asking people to take
good care of oneself and the desire to give something to the person
one likes. Although it was not big enough to carry a message, it was
true that it was quite a burden to those who knew the feelings of the
person giving it.

“It tastes good….”

Why on earth does Jigu Yoon like me?


Rather than torturing your hopes, I would like to tell you to put your
mind in order as soon as possible. However, it was absurd to say
such a thing to a subject without even receiving a confession. It feels
like I’m drinking too much kimchi soup…. What if Yoon Ji-gu doesn’t
feel that way?

‘I’d rather embarrass each other for a bit and then sort things out….’

Should I just say I have no feelings and cut it like a knife? …No,
that’s not quite right either. You wouldn’t know if you never saw each
other. It is also realistically impossible to just avoid it. Even if the
swimming pool can be moved in time, Yoon Ji-gu and himself lived
next door. Plus, there is a cafe right in front of my house where Jigu
Yoon works.

“and….”

He didn’t want to worry Ji-gu Yoon, who immediately asked what


happened when he fell into the swimming pool. I hope he doesn’t get
hurt. Yeo-woon nuzzled the end of the straw and tried to figure out
how to come up with the best solution for both of them.

‘…I guess he has to confess to me first, right?’

That way, things will proceed regardless of whether you reject it or


not. Yeo-woon raised his head and made eye contact with Yun Ji-gu,
who was looking at him. Jigu Yoon blushed again at the lingering
smile that suddenly appeared at him.

Now I really can’t even take it out.


Yoon Ji-gu likes me.

Therefore, it is important to create an environment where Yoon Ji-


gu, who is very shy, can open up and confess his feelings to me.
The probability of saying you like something in a place where there
are a lot of people will probably converge to zero.

‘…’We need to make as much time as possible just the two of us.’

Until then, Yeo-woon decided to think of a way to reject Yoon Ji-gu


without hurting his feelings.

[Guild] neutaaaa: haha

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Huh!

Yeowoon shyly returned to the game. Wandu Wandya, who said he


was quitting but would come back in 6 hours and watch with his eyes
wide open to see this game completely fail, welcomed him. Wandu
Wandya stood in the guild room and waved while holding the
equipment that had exploded and returned.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hello!


[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Welcome, Nyuta!!

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Return ㅊㅋㅊㅋ ㅠㅠㅠ

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hey, you came back sooner than I
thought.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I don’t think there is a mare in Giltalk
either.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I didn’t think Newta would come
back lol

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Captain, Earth Star wants to be mean to me.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Today, listen to Earth Star.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: My subordinate, listen carefully.

[Guild] Cat Cat Cat Cat: ㅡㅡㅗ

Earth Star and Cat Meow Meow were getting along well today, but
they were not. Wandu Wandya came up to Yeowoon and asked.

[Guild] Wandawanda: What about Newta’s rabbit?

[Guild] neutaaaa: I’ll take it!!!


Yeo-woon returned to the village and received mail from the
postman. In addition to the snow rabbit sales ticket, several pieces
of equipment had disappeared, and one page of the mailbox was
filled with rewards. Yeo-woon confirmed that the purchase vouchers
had been properly entered in the item window by pressing Receive
in Bulk and closed the mailbox.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Phew, Illusion almost ended up being a mess


haha.

[Guild] neutaaaa: ?

[Guild] al0ha: Someone from Mangame seems to be very sensitive.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: No, really, I

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: I didn’t snipe Lipo.

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: ㅠㅠ

[Guild] neutaaaa: It’s like snipingㅡㅡ;

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: It’s like snipingㅡㅡ;

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: I am on the side of the earth.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: It’s like snipingㅡㅡ;


[Guild] Wandu Wanda: I am on the side of you, saying you are a
subordinate of Earth.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Yes no haha

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Yes, that’s right

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Yes no

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: You’re a real elementary school student;

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Haha, no, no~

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: ㅅㅂ

[Guild] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahaha

Seeing Earth Star and Cat Meow Meow taking my side, I realized
that I was doing a real illusion again. Looking at the number of guild
members, it was still the same without a single person leaving.
There were still members who were always online. Seeing the
people who welcomed me made my heart tickle, but it was amazing
to think that we could continue our relationship like this.

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: ㅠㅠWould it be sad to live without a


couple?
[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Who wants to be a couple with me?

‘Nyankyangnyangnyangnyang has terminated the connection.’

‘al0ha has terminated the connection.’

[Guild] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hmm…ㅠ;;

Cat Meow Cat and Aloha came back in less than a minute. It seems
that the only intention was to make fun of Wandu Wandya.

Yeowoon confirmed that the guild room was where the most guild
members were gathered, and moved into the guild room. Wandu
Wandya and Nyangnyangnyangnyang danced around the lingering
light that appeared in the portal. The Earth Star that jumped down
from above joined him, increasing the number of people dancing to
three.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Are you going to rip the rabbit now?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Yes!

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: What will you name me?

I haven’t thought about it yet. Come to think of it, you were able to
give your pet a name, right?
[Guild] neutaaaa: I hadn’t thought about it, haha. Please recommend
it.

[Guild] Cat Cat Cat: Hellchang

[Guild] neutaaaa: ?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Sigh

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Tomato

[Guild] Halloween Branch: TOEIC

[Guild] Wanduwandya: TOEFL

Why is everyone’s sense like this? Yeowoon looked at the names he


didn’t like with disapproval and then looked at the names of the pets
that the guild members were wearing.

‘Item Shuttle’, ‘Card Debt’, ‘My Henchman’, ‘1.2 Million Won’,


‘Gonzales III’, ‘Infinite Purchase of Star Essence’, ‘Surfer Upgrade’

They were all strange names.

“As for the levels.”


Yeowoon was convinced by their sense.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅇㅅㅇㅋㅋㅋ

Earth Star was carrying a ghost cat called ‘My subordinate’ and
jumping over Yeo Woon’s head. He really was a crazy guy every
time I saw him.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Earth Star, do you have any names that come to
mind?

When Yeo-woon paid attention, Earth Star stopped moving and


stood still for a while, thinking. Meanwhile, the guild members were
spouting out strange names containing ‘to’.

[Guild] Ji9 Star: Earth Star? >_< LOL

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Evil

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Ah….

[Guild] neutaaaa: Extremely hateful

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: No, it would be extremely hatefulㅡㅡ;;

[Guild] neutaaaa: Don’t talk to me;


[Guild] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: Why do you recommend your own
name for a pet? Why are you doing that lol?

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Do you think you’re out of your mind?

[Guild] Ji9 Star: What’s wrong with Earth Star….

“…?”

Yeowoon’s eyes widened. It wasn’t a whisper. I suddenly felt my


blood run cold when I saw the Earth Star calling me my brother in
the guild chat.

[Guild] al0ha: These two are me haha

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Brother? Hahaha

As if it was unfamiliar to the guild members, everyone had a


question mark above their heads.

[Guild] I will write a 12-line poem using 9 stars! >_<

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㄷㄷ

[Guild] Halloween Branch: They’re trying so hard to sort it out


hahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha


[Guild] Kitty cat cat: LOL Pretend to be natural.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Haha, please give someone some luck!

[Guild] Cat Cat Me Cat: Ah

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Are you pretending to know?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ;;ni

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Are you talking about me, cat, bitch?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahaha I don’t think it’s a


joke.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I won’t do it.

Still, I was glad I got past this point. Yeowoon breathed a sigh of
relief and sent a whisper to Earth Star telling her to be more careful.

[Whispering] ㅈi9Star: No, but

[Whispering] Gi9 Byul: It’s not even a nickname, so what does it


matter?

Why doesn’t it matter? I decided not to show it in front of my guild


members. This was something we promised when we first decided
to talk. The Earth is not a goldfish and there is no way it could have
forgotten that promise….

[Whispering] neutaaaa: Haha, a nickname would be better.

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: ?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: You might think that’s a joke haha.

[Whispering] Gi9 Byul: Are you serious about that?

[Whispering] Gi9 Byul: Take responsibility for what your brother said.

[Whispering] neutaaaa: What is the responsibility?

[Whispering] neutaaaa: You both need to be more careful in the


future ㅡㅡ

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Hmph

‘Please name the bulging muscle-eyed rabbit.’

Yeo-woon just named his pet whatever name came to mind, and
Yeo-woon’s snow rabbit became ‘Jjangseon Rabbit’. The guild
members all reprimanded Yeo-woon, saying that TOEIC was better,
TOEFL was better, and that he should have taken Hellchang Rabbit
instead.
When Yeowoon switched to attack mode, he suddenly bulked up and
smiled happily as he watched his pet grow in size. What matters to a
pet is just what it looks like, not what its name is.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Baby, your name is shit

“…?”

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: You shouldn’t have just named it after me haha >_<

[Guild] neutaaaa: ?

Are you crazy?

[Guild] Pea Wandya: Earth, what did I eat wrong today?


Hahahahahaha

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Wow

‘Nyankyangnyangnyangnyang has terminated the connection.’

‘al0ha has terminated the connection.’

Despite the cold response, Earth Star didn’t care and called
Yeowoon ‘baby’ or ‘honey’ and used cute emoticons. I got
goosebumps and tried to avoid it here and there, but I couldn’t
completely shake off the Earth, which was more than twice as fast
as me.
***

Since Yeowoon always had a resolute attitude, I thought he would


immediately accept me if I called him a nickname as a joke. But it
seems it was his illusion. Yeo-woon was more scared than he
thought and ran away from Yoon Ji-gu. So I heard more.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Why do you keep running away?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: You’ll be caught in less than a minute anyway.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Baby, answer hahaha

[Couple] neutaaaa: Damn;;; saturday;;

This is a bit unfair. The nickname issue wasn’t even something he


brought up first. He himself came forward and said that he prefers
nicknames to ‘brother’! Who would have thought that Lee Yeo-woon
is a person who speaks twice.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Rather than calling me brother

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I heard a nickname is better


[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: He said it’s better because you can think of this
as a prank, honey.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Who do you like better?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: What you said just now, do you have amnesia?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Haha

[Couple] neutaaaa: Who are you and me as a couple?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahahaha

[Couple] neutaaaa: Who are you laughing at?

[Couple] ㅈi9star: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Yeowoon Lee was truly like an impenetrable shield. But in fact, even
though I was tapping on the keyboard pretending to be calm, my
face got hot every time I said the nickname. My heart felt like it was
going to explode!

In dramas, couples or lovers always use nicknames rather than


names. Unfamiliar words like honey, honey, and baby. So later, after
he accepted Yeo-woon’s feelings, he would naturally call himself by
his nickname. It was said that it was like a gateway that one had to
go through when becoming a lover.
I, too, was not used to calling Lee Yeo-woon, who did not yet know
that he was Yoon Ji-gu, using words that made me cringe, such as
‘baby’. I also have chicken skin. It gives me goosebumps. But they
say you have to do this when you start dating…. This is truly
unavoidable. So, it was like rehearsing in advance from now on.

‘But Lee Yeo-woon, if he likes me, why doesn’t he confess it


quickly?’

Should I give it a little more room? Should we show off a little more
so that Lee Yeo-woon can quickly muster up the courage to
confess?

I had no intention of coming forward and saying that I, too, had


come to like him. However, if Yeo-woon cries and clings to me
saying that I actually like you, I was willing to pretend to be worried
and accept it. No, it was a lot.

‘…Ah, I want to see my brother cry in front of me….’

It must be really heartbreaking and ugly, right? I hope you don’t cry
though. But does it really look pretty? Yoon Ji-gu had other thoughts
in the middle of the episode and fell into a delusion for a while. Even
though I was just imagining that scene, my earlobes became hot.
Just thinking about Lee Yeo-woon crying because of him made me
feel ashamed and happy.

‘But why do you hate nicknames?’

It was strange to feel a lingering sense of shock every time I called


him by name, honey, honey, etc.
‘Then, isn’t there actually a different nickname that your brother
wants?’

In that case, it would have been better to ask in advance. I think it


would be more satisfying to call them whatever they want.

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: What do you like when I call you hyung?

I had the confidence to accept anything as long as it wasn’t like my


master.

[Couple] neutaaaa: ;; Why did I decide that with you?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Are you dating me…?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, that’s just wishful thinking, that’s funny.

[Couple] neutaaaa: What are you saying? It’s disgustingㅜㅜ

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hey

[Couple] neutaaaa: Do you like it if I call you Bunya?

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: Is that a nickname too?

[Couple] neutaaaa: What if it’s a nickname?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Haha


[Couple] ㅈi9 Star: I like it haha

[Couple] neutaaaa: You should go to the hospital;;;;;

A name like ‘Gubyeol-ah’, which was like calling a dog, didn’t sound
so bad when it was called a nickname. No, actually, I liked the idea
of calling myself ‘Earth’ in a lingering, soft voice. Now that I think
about it, it’s nice to be called by my normal name, right? …Uh, in
this case, there’s really no need for a nickname? If Yeo-woon, who
has been in unrequited love for several months, is like this, his heart
will pound wildly every time I call him hyung.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Bro, do you get nervous when I call you baby?
Haha

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m making a fuss because I like it ㅇㅅㅇ

I know very well that the lingering feeling of now is not like that. But
in reality, the lingering feeling is not of Earth, but my heart will race
every time I see Yoon Ji-gu. When I thought about that, my heart
felt like it was going to jump out of my mouth. The thought of
Yeowoon liking him so much made me feel sick and I felt like I was
going crazy. Suddenly, in the middle of the night, I missed Lee
Yeowoon.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Why are you so excited alone?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m not excited haha.

Do you miss me now too? I guess so?


[Couple] neutaaaa: Yes^^….

[Couple] neutaaaa: Take care of yourself

[Couple] neutaaaa: Kkkkkkk

Yeowoon used an emoticon that showed him shaking his leg


mischievously and then pretending to spit on the floor. Then, the
Helchang rabbit, which was standing reliably behind him as if to
protect him, opened its eyes in the shape of a triangle and quivered
its short tail.

There is a glimmer of an illusion of Yeo-woon’s face overlapping the


face of a character customized to resemble Ji-gu Yoon. The
lingering feeling of laughing as if it was absurd was vivid, as if it
existed right in front of my eyes.

What did Lee Yeowoon do to me? It was like I was truly under a
spell, and even this behavior seemed so cute that if it lingered, it
would drive me crazy. These days, whenever I have time, I think
about this sweet thing all day long. My heart swelled as I thought
that Yeowoon would also be thinking about me all day.

‘I wish my brother would quickly confess to me that he’s so happy


for me that he’s dying.’

I was very impatient, but there was no need to rush. It was better to
pretend not to know than to rush and ruin the work. There was a lot
of time, and the lingering emotions were in a place where I could
easily see them if I wanted to. Ji-gu Yoon chased after the afterglow
all day with a smile on his face.
I like this Yeowoon.

Lee Yeowoon likes me so much, I really, really like her too!

***

It was already midwinter. It was said that it had already been more
than two months since Yoon Ji-gu’s blatant assault began.

The meeting place, which was limited to the swimming pool, cafe, or
front door, was expanded to include the living room of Yun Ji-gu’s
house. Every Friday, Ji-gu Yoon would invite Yeo-woon to his house
under the pretext of watching a movie. I don’t want to see it alone. I
thought it would be more fun to watch this together. It was a
ridiculous excuse, but every time, Yeo-woon pretended that she
couldn’t resist and followed him.

The roads that had lightly snowed last night were all muddy due to
the melting snow. The snow had melted and the water on the ground
had frozen and made it slippery. These days, there are frequent
news reports about accidents involving people falling on icy roads.

“brother.”

While Yeo-woon was walking with his eyes on the floor for a while,
Ji-gu Yoon told him about the results of his search for a movie to
watch today.

“When this was released, there were people who watched it in the
theater and ran out halfway through to look for all the spoilers.”

“What’s the title?”

“An exorcist. saw?”

“First time hearing this.”

“thank god.”

Glad you got it all sorted out…. He really seems to enjoy watching
movies with me. My heart felt heavy for no reason when I heard Yun
Ji-gu’s sigh mixed with relief.

“But this looks really scary. What should we do?”

Yeowoon burst into laughter without realizing it at the fussing voice.


It seems like he absolutely hates scary things, but it’s cute that when
you ask him, he vehemently denies it.

“I know. You can’t even go to the movies and leave midway, right?”

“Are you arguing now?”

“It’s not wrong, right? “I can’t see anything scary.”


“Ha, you’re really funny. Let me say it again, it’s not that I can’t see
scary things, it’s just that I don’t like watching creepy things alone.
Please watch that horror movie dog.”

“Then do you want to watch it alone?”

“…Oh, why? Anyway, you don’t have anything to do. I don’t want to
see you alone.”

“Because you’re scared?”

Jigu Yoon opened his eyes. My lip, biting hard in anger, is trembling.
These big and small reactions feel cute and enjoyable. It was
obvious why I was bluffing and couldn’t say I was scared even
though it was scary. I guess he wants to look cool to me.

“Ah, it’s okay. When a scene like that comes up, I just close my
eyes.”

“And I’ll let you know when the scary scene passes?”

“Well, I guess you wanted to tell me.”

I have now become accustomed to the patronizing tone of voice.


Yeo-woon glanced at Yun Ji-gu, who was reading a spoiler-filled
review and was already chanting, thinking that he must be scared.
No matter how scary the movie is, it will have nothing to do with
Yoon Ji-gu.

Because Yoon Ji-gu won’t even watch that movie.


‘When the movie starts, I keep glancing at my face instead of the
screen….’

As I sat in the exact same spot where Ji-gu Yoon secretly pressed
his lips to me and watched the blood-spattering screen, I felt an
explicit gaze at me at some point. At first, I also turned my head and
looked at him. At that time, Jigu Yoon would roll his eyes and avoid
eye contact, but these days, he doesn’t even avoid eye contact and
makes direct eye contact. Yeo-woon then became embarrassed for
no reason and turned his head back to face the front.

He acts like he has something to say, but when I ask him what he
says, he keeps his mouth shut. Does he have no intention of
confessing to me? We don’t hang out all day like we did when we
were students, and we don’t get to see each other every day…. Just
one day a week, just a few hours. I was frustrated with Yoon Ji-gu,
who wasted the opportunity to be alone together.

Yoon Ji-gu had naturally infiltrated Yeo-woon’s daily life. It has


become an unwritten rule to skip every Friday without making an
appointment. It all started to get a confession from Ji-gu Yoon.

“Earth.”

“yes?”

“did you have your dinner?”

“I haven’t eaten yet. What about you?”


“Me too, not yet. So should I order it today? “Let’s eat what you
like.”

“what. I know what I like….”

“Would you like some pizza?”

“Can I order it with a crust at the end?”

every Friday. The two come out of the pool together and eat dinner
together, or have a meal at Yoon Ji-gu’s house. Then we sit together
for a couple of hours and watch a movie. It was no different from
any other weekday. On the way home, if I saw a street vendor I
hadn’t seen before, I would stop by and buy some food. If I saw an
arcade or a street claw machine, I would often go snooping around
to kill time.

There was a time when I thought this was exactly like a date course,
but since the purpose was clear, I dismissed it as not. There is only
one reason why you do such a troublesome thing. It was to reject
Yun Ji-gu’s confession.

However, as each day passed, I felt that my purpose was becoming


blurred and the time I was spending with Yun Ji-gu was increasing.
Is this okay? Isn’t it just giving Yoon Ji-gu more room to be mistaken
by giving him more room for no reason?

But I enjoyed spending time with Ji-gu Yoon. Even though they are
nothing special. Watching a movie, walking down the street together,
stopping by an arcade and shooting a basketball, etc. These are
things that are so trivial that even young children say they are
childish. The problem was that even though it was such a
monotonous daily life, those moments were just enjoyable.

“brother. Do you have something to say to me?”

“no?”

“But why do you keep staring at me?”

“…I?”

Against the backdrop of a gently setting red sunset, Jigu Yoon


blushed. A blob of light gathered in the deep pupils and wavered
faintly. Even if he confesses, he says he won’t do anything, but
these days he uses the beauty system.

“I really don’t have anything, do you have anything to say?”

And Yeo-woon felt just as bad for Yoon Ji-gu. He kept pushing his
head into Yeo-woon’s field of view as if interrogating her, trying to get
an answer, but Yeo-woon just shook her head each time and
awkwardly took a step back.

just…I hope nothing changes.

I was anxiously waiting for the confession to come out of Yun Ji-gu’s
mouth, but I was also thinking that it would be nice for him to delay
saying it as long as possible. The reason for rejecting Yoon Ji-gu’s
confession in the first place was simple. I want to remain good
friends with him….
It would be nice if time stopped like this.

So that our relationship doesn’t fall apart, just like this.

***

Jigu Yoon’s mood was at its peak these days. It was nice that I didn’t
have to listen to anyone asking me if I was doing well in school these
days because it was vacation, and my favorite older brother lived in
the closest location to where I lived. Moreover, Lee Yeo-woon likes
herself. That’s huge too!

[Couple] neutaaaa: Oh, did you change your clothes again?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: My ㅋ

The clothes that each Earth character is currently wearing are ghost
costumes, which were exclusive to last year’s Halloween event. The
eerie ghost expression on the hat was the highlight, and it had the
effect of looking like a set with a ghost cat pet. There were many
people looking for it, but there weren’t many for sale on the server,
so the price was skyrocketing.

Even Lee Yeo-un, who has no eyes to see, seems to have had at
least one gram of aesthetic sense left. Ji-gu Yoon walked around in
front of Yeo-woon and presented a fashion show. As I made various
poses as if showing off in front of him, Yeowoon used a giggling
emotional expression. I was proud that I looked cute in his eyes too.
Ji-gu Yoon used the boasting emoticon, putting his hands on his
waist and raising his head.

[Couple] neutaaaa:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahaha she she she she she she she she she she her she her her
she her her she she she her th

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I know haha

[Couple] neutaaaa: Clothes, not you

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ? I never said it was me

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahaha

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I guess you always thought I was cute haha

[Couple] neutaaaa: Yes, yes-_-

Now, it was nice to see Yeo-woon reacting so harshly to Earth. Of


course, it would be really nice if he treated Earth Star kindly, but if
you think about it the other way around, that means that Yoon Ji-gu,
that is, himself, is truly special. My heart pounded.
[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I have one more set of these, should I give it to
you><?

[Couple] neutaaaa: It’s okay, it only suits you, I don’t like it

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Hahaha does this suit me?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Not bad

[Couple] neutaaaa: Should I change my outfit for the first time in a


while?

Yeowoon’s coordination was always the same. A blue training suit


under a strange cape, and a character who looked like me. If I
hadn’t known, I wouldn’t have felt this way, but it made me laugh
because I could clearly see how he wanted to customize the game
character to resemble himself and see it every day.

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: With what?

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㄱㄷㄱㄷ

After leaving the words to wait, Yeo-woon disappeared. Ji-gu Yoon


sat where he had disappeared, waiting for him, and began to
anticipate what kind of weird outfit Yeo-woon would show up in
again.

Are you going to show up wearing nothing but strange leaf panties
like last time? Or the new fake abs top? Now, I was confident that I
wouldn’t be surprised no matter what Yeowoon wore. In reality, I was
wearing it just fine, but I couldn’t figure out why I had such a lack of
sense when it came to game coordination.

I’m starting to want to dress up as a couple, and if Yeowoon had a


cute pet, I would have gotten another one and had a couple pet….
Little Forest abandoned Lee Yeo-woon’s tastes. I had no choice but
to change his tastes step by step from the side.

After a while, Yeo-woon suddenly appeared in front of me. In fact,


the cloaks that Lipo refugees like to wear almost cover their upper
bodies, so changing clothes wasn’t that noticeable. However, there
were two purple bats fluttering around his character, with small fangs
in their mouths.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Dracula?

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ

For the first time in a while, Yeowoon has been wearing normal
outfits. What I like more than anything is that when I put my
character next to him, they looked like a couple who got along
perfectly.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Cute;

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahaha

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Hey, you and me are matching couple looks?
Haha
[Couple] neutaaaa: ㅡㅡ

Lee Yeo-woon changed into strange leaf panties. It was a truly


terrible sight.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh, I’m sorryㅠㅠ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Don’t take it offㅠㅠ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: This guy gets jokes in documentaries

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Put it back on quickly and take a


screenshot.

In fact, when Yeowoon came to coordinate my outfit, I was planning


to make fun of him and ask him what it was and if he had bought it
with money. However, the red bow tie shirt worn under the cape
went well with the cape, and more than anything, it was the most
normal outfit I’ve ever seen.

[Couple] neutaaaa: This hat is better

[Couple] neutaaaa: Or is this better?

Yeowoon took off the black hat he was wearing on his head and
attached a red ribbon. That’s what I’m talking about right now….

[Couple] i9 star: The one in front ㅡㅡ


[Couple] neutaaaa: ㅇㅋㅇㅋ

Yeowoon changed his item back to his hat. It felt a little funny to be
belatedly wearing a Halloween look when Christmas was just around
the corner, but I was excited to see the couple’s theme look for the
first time in my life. Yoon Ji-gu moved to the Mansion of Horror
theme map with Yeo Woon in tow and took screenshots while
striking various poses. Yeowoon complained, asking what he was
doing like this, but contrary to what he said, he posed quite diligently.

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ;; What are you doing?

While pressing the screenshot button one after another, an uninvited


guest appeared on the screen. Moreover, he was not alone and had
three strange beginners behind him. Jigu Yoon lifted his finger from
the print screen button.

[All] ㅈi9 Star: Let’s go on our way.

[All] Cat cat cat: ?

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: All of a sudden, I was fucked.

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: So I won’t go any further~

Kitty cat stood between Yeowoon and me, separating the two.

“That’s really….”
There were a lot of poses that I couldn’t take yet. There were a few
more photos I wanted to take even if I moved to where the
chandelier was above, but I couldn’t take perfect photos if the cat
didn’t turn off.

[All] neutaaaa: Hahahaha what are you doing here?

[All] neutaaaa: It doesn’t even match the level.

The Mansion of Fear map was a hunting ground for level 40 users.
This meant that it was not an area where cats with max level would
appear. It was clear that Yeo-woon was also speaking back because
he wanted to chase away Nyannyangnyangnyang.

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Is that the same for you too hahahaha

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Why are you here?

[Whispering] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m taking pictures, so pay attention

[Whisper] ㄲㅈ

[Whisper] ㄲㅈ

[All] Cat Meow Cat: Newta, the Earth Star keeps whispering to me to
turn off.

[All] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahahaha who’s behind you?


[All] Kitty Meow Meow Meow: I’m making friends right now, and
along with that, I’m also helping people who are at the right level
haha.

[All] Earth Goat: Hello…

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: This is my friend

Cat Meow Meow Pointed at the dirt goat with his finger.

[All] Earth Goat: Huh, how do you do that?

[All] Kitty Meow Meow Meow: I need to learn emoticons, I’m not
good at it haha

[All] Earth Goat: Nothing works **

[All] Dirt Goat: Can’t you even swear?

As I was looking at the earthen goat wearing basic armor, I


remembered the first time I met Yeo-woon. At that time, Yeowoon
was wearing the basic armor that was dropped at the hunting
ground, except for the cloak. The lingering feelings at that time were
really disgusting, creepy, and disgusting, but I can’t believe that in
less than a year, that person could have become so good. After all,
he didn’t know anything about people.

Moreover, it was something that couldn’t be explained by mere


coincidence that the person I was so connected to would move into
the house next door.
This was nothing short of fate. Lee Yeo-woon and I are destined…?
Heat rose to my face in an instant.

[All] zombie: Let’s go quickly, right? I’m busy;;

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Oh, that’s right hahahaha yes!

[All] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: I’ll reset the party in a moment.

[All] zombie: Hahahahahahahaha what did you do if you didn’t do


that?

[All] zombie: I can’t sit still any longer because I said I’ll see.

[All] zombie: He said he helped with the mansion scenario, but he


just wiped his mouth on the street and fell asleep lol.

At that time, one of the guys who was mumbling behind the mud
goat came forward and started a fight. It seemed like he was a
beginner who joined the party while helping a friend. Cat Meow Cat
was embarrassed, so she didn’t say a word and just stood there.

I could have stepped forward to fight, but it wasn’t like Yeo-woon


was fighting, and dealing with a guy like that was a hassle. He’s not
a child, he’ll take care of everything….

[All] Dirt Goat: Hahahahaha then go around alone **


[All] Earth Goat: You’ve been subtly making me angry since a while
ago.

[All] Earth Goat: I heard that high level players get paid when they
return to the dungeon? Isn’t it funny if you say something like this
after giving me even 100 won?

[All] Earth Goat: If you are a beggar, just shut your mouth and wait~
Why did you really lose your conscience to my friend?

[All] zombie: I didn’t say anything to you, so why are you interfering?

[All] zombie: Ah haha stabbed?

[All] Dirt Goat:

***

* complains so much

[All] Dirt Goat: ** Why can’t I swear? I can do **, but why can only I?

[All] neutaaaa: Hahahaha Try inserting characters like / in the


middle.

Yeowoon Lee is really kind and gentle. I can’t believe you’re telling
me every single thing like that…. A smile suddenly spread across
my face.
[All] Dirt Goat: Fuck/Fuck

[All] Earth goat: sheep/sim/do/no/new/kid/ya

[All] Earth Goat: Wow, it works!! thank you!

[All] neutaaaa: What haha

[All] zombie: Hahahaha they are really playing together.

[All] zombie: I should have played solo instead, but I just wasted my
time haha.

[All] Earth Goat: Yes, bye~ I can’t beat this map alone~ haha

[All] zombie: Yes~ I’ll just take a quick part-time job^^ I think I’ll be
able to change jobs faster than you.

[All] Dirt Goat: Hahahahahahahahaha

[All] Dirt Goat: The greatest achievement of your life, Illusion 1st job
change.

[All] zombie: ㅗ

The zombie that was causing a ruckus seemed to have left the party
and disappeared from the map.
[All] neutaaaa: Are you okay, cat?

[All] Cat cat cat: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I’m just giving it away because I’m
bored, but sometimes I get caught by strange people hahahaha!
Kids like that quit quickly.

[All] ㅈi9 stars: Hogu cat cat

At that time, a brown-haired novice who had been standing still


despite the commotion floated a speech bubble above his head.

[All] Noeul Cheon: Kitten, I reported everythingㅇㅅㅇ

[All] Noeul Cheon: And I also had a part-time job.

[All] Noeul Cheon: The speed at which you can catch a glimpse of a
cat is much faster than that of a part-time job worth 3000, so please
ignore comments like that ㅠㅠ!!

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Ah haha thank you

[All] Earth Goat: Hey, let’s go

Cat Meow Cat finally took the two newbies and disappeared into the
inner map where the dungeon was located. I’m going to go a long
time ago…. Ji-gu Yoon took Yeo-woon to map 8 of the Mansion of
Fear and spent time taking various pictures.
[Couple] neutaaaa: I’m jealous of you…My friends have no interest
in games

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, you want me there >_<

[Couple] neutaaaa: Oh yeah

[Couple] neutaaaa: Did you film everything?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅇ

A very satisfactory result was obtained. Next time, we should ask


them to take a picture wearing a couple look! Next time, I wanted to
try wearing the exact same clothes instead of just matching themed
clothes. Ji-gu Yoon ran a simulation, thinking of dozens of clothes to
wear with Yeo-woon next time.

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: What are you doing next Tuesday?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Christmas?

[Couple] neutaaaa: I should be home

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Who are you not meeting?

[Couple] neutaaaa: It’s even weirder to meet a friend on a day like


that haha. We feel awkward together…
[Couple] neutaaaa: I’ll just play a game with you and then watch a
movie, whatever.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahaha

That day was my chance!

[Couple] neutaaaa: What are you doing?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m just like you ㅈㅅㅋ We play games and
watch movies.

[Couple] neutaaaa: I thought so hahahaha

There’s still a lot of time left until next week, but I keep getting
impatient. Ji-gu Yoon started searching for a movie to watch with
Yeo-woon in the search bar. Christmas movies, movies that are
good for confession, confession movies, romance movies, 19+
Christmas movies….

In the end, I chose a Christmas movie that was said to be


moderately romantic and had a very high couple success rate when
it was released. It was a movie that would give courage to Yeo-
woon, who always looked for opportunities and was hesitant. Yun Ji-
gu clenched his fists with a strong heart.

On Christmas Day, I will definitely get a confession from Yeowoon


Lee!
***

It was cloudy all week. Yeowoon woke up early on a weekend


morning, drew a smiling face with his finger on the frosty window,
and yawned slightly. A soft voice came from the TV that I had turned
on just to hear the sound.

-The cold will get worse this week. The temperature will rise to minus
1 degrees this morning, but the temperature on Tuesday the 25th is
expected to drop to minus 9 degrees.

It felt cold for some reason. Yeowoon tied the blanket tightly around
his shoulders and trembled.

-From the afternoon of the 24th, the cold continental high pressure
is expected to expand, with the lowest temperature in Seoul
expected to be -9 degrees on the morning of the 25th. This is good
news for those who are looking forward to a white Christmas. This
year, with snow forecast on Christmas Day, you can look forward to
a white Christmas.

It’s snowing?

“It’s going to be so cold….”

Yeowoon muttered to himself and pressed the power button on the


remote control. Soon the screen went black and the whole house
became quiet. Yeowoon, who had been dazedly trapped in the
silence, came to his senses belatedly and stretched.

I thought I would have a meaningless Christmas this year, but an


urgent appointment was made last night. My friend Sehyung was
suddenly hospitalized for a minor surgery. As it happened, the date
of the surgery was Christmas Eve, the 24th, and Jo Joo-joo kept
insisting that he come visit, so I thought I would go see him out of
necessity.

Seonyong

But what if it suddenly becomes annoying tomorrow?

Seonyong

Friend, can’t I just get discharged and see you?

Jeong Se-hyung

(picture)

Hahahahahahahahahaha

The photo that Jeong Se-hyung sent was a past photo of Ha Seon-
yong. It was a photo taken when he was caught stealing cigarettes
from his father’s bag in an attempt to secretly smoke out of curiosity,
and went to school with his hair pushed all the way to the middle of
the highway. Because Sehyung was the one who introduced Ha
Seon-yong’s current girlfriend, if he made a mistake, humiliating
photos from the past could have been sent to his girlfriend.

Seonyong

I’ll go buy you a drink….

Jeong Se-hyung

OK

Can I go in the evening?

Jeong Se-hyung

blanket

Jeong Se-hyung

But guys, what if you come to see me and I die during surgery?

Hahaha, this creates a fun drinking material.

Jeong Se-hyung

?
Jeong Se-hyung

(picture)

Seonyong

Fuck, Lee Yeo-woon said that, but why is that bastard taking my
picture?

Even though it wasn’t a major surgery, I was already feeling dizzy. I


searched for the hospital location on the map and found that it was
quite far away. The thought of having to cross the river was already
bothersome, but Yeo-woon began to plan to eat all the food there
while he was on his way to visit the sick.

After eating an early breakfast, Yeowoon leisurely turned on the


computer and accessed the game. He saw that only a few guild
members were online and felt friendly.

[Guild] neutaaaa: haha

[Guild] neutaaaa: Cat, you woke up early!

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ? I didn’t sleep well

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Losing haha

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: It’s different for me. I left the game on for a while
and then woke up.
[Guild] Cat Cat Cat: Did you only sleep for two hours?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Why aren’t you both sleeping?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I’m spinning with the alarm on.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Me too

It seemed like the season was coming to an end for the fighting
rankings. I didn’t know when Kitty Nyang Na Nyang grew to the point
where she could even participate in fighting. Why was it that I was
the only one who upgraded my qualifications like crazy? Yeo-woon
felt a sense of betrayal from Cat Meow Meow.

[Guild] Cat Cat Me Cat: But

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: I have a problem…

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅇ?

[Guild] neutaaaa: What is it??

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Recently, I’ve been raising friends
and helping out newbies with their quests. You know?

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaenededated as as
as possible was�������������� no not knowing…
not guild not knowing…

Kitty Meow Meow’s brazen behavior was already famous within the
guild. To put it in a positive way, it is a good deed, but in most cases,
newbies with less personality get involved with him and do not
receive positive feedback even when he helps them. Why do we
keep helping people who don’t know what’s good even though we’ve
put so much effort into it…. Still, Yeo-woon did not dislike the
goodness of the cat.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: But these days, I feel like I’m
secretly meeting someone often.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: We meet ten times a day?

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Isn’t that possible if the levels overlap?

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: No, but every time I see it, my level doesn’t
go up, strangely.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I would go up just by doing quests,


but I couldn’t even go up level 5 from level 50 for a week hahaha.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Isn’t it still worth doing until level 100?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Aren’t you a surprise?


[Guild] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: I’m not a surprise kid. I’m just a
basic attire.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: I always see him hunting alone and dying….
It seems like I don’t have any friends…

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: So I thought about it.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I think she’s been following me these
days.

No way. Even though Cat Cat Cat has gained a lot of fame these
days, I believed that there would not be a crazy person following a
single user.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Looks like you have a lot of self-consciousness


haha.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Wow, too much to say;;

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Is that so? To be honest, I also laughed a


little while saying that haha.

[Guild] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: Yesterday, she gave me 999 roses,


saying she bought them, so I wondered what she was doing.

[Guild] Ji9 Star: Rose?


Roses were the lowest level of gathering items, useless for trading,
and did not even exist on quests. But if you’re a beginner, you could
do that.

This is because when Yeowoon also started playing Illusion, he


unknowingly gave 100 green slime tails to a high level user who had
given away various items saying he was going to quit the game. He
laughed for a while as he watched Yeowoon place slime by-products
on the trading window. Now that I think about it, I wonder how
ridiculous that person must have been? Yeowoon chuckled as he
recalled the memory of that time.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Hahaha then doesn’t that person like you? >_<

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: How does she know me haha?

[Guild] Ji9 Star: Just in case

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: There was a person who gave me various things


too haha.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Ah! This isn’t something I’m proud of

[Guild] i9star: Even though I said I didn’t need it, they just gave me
macaroons~ bubble gum~ and a lot of candy~~~~ Anyway, I did
that.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Ugh


[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: A man who is happy even if you give
him random items

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Hahaha, but it turns out that he likes me >_< haha

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Newta…

[Guild] neutaaaa: Yes

[Guild] Kitty Meow Meow Meow: I think the person suffering from
hyper-self-consciousness is here, not me.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahaha yes….

Even the Earth…. Looking at the name of the item, it seems to be


an item from Dessert Garden, and I can’t believe he likes me
because he received a few of those items. Do you think that makes
sense?

[Guild] neutaaaa: So who are you?

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahaha

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Yes, everyone knows this person haha

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Wow, I’m really not curious~

[Guild] neutaaaa: Does that person really think that way?


[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ㄹㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] Ji9 Star: It’s true.

‘Is there anyone I know who approaches Earth with interest?’

I thought about it carefully, but I couldn’t remember anything.


Earthstar’s hobby has always been competing in ranking matches at
the fighting arena or chasing down guild members and making fun of
them, but who on earth gave Earthstar a miscellaneous item? No
matter how hard I tried to rack my brain, the only thing I could think
of was the image of the planet Earth that was attached to me all day
long.

Or is it meeting at a time when I can’t connect? No, then there’s no


way we could both say we know each other.

“….”

Yeowoon stopped thinking. It was a district-specific thing, and I


wasn’t curious enough to ask too much about it. I was curious as to
whether that person would think like the planet Earth.

[Guild] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: Guys, I’ll just leave. I’m sleepy so I


need to sleep now.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ㅂㅂ

[Guild] neutaaaa: See you tomorrow


[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Oh, I’m not coming in tomorrow! I
just check in at dawn and go straight to grandma’s house.

[Guild] Cat Cat Meow Cat: Good night to you too….

‘Nyankyangnyangnyangnyang has terminated the connection.’

[Guild] neutaaaa: It’s morning….

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: Brother!

I wondered why they didn’t call me like that. I must have been
holding it in because I had a cat.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Do you like rice or noodles?

“Should I choose the breakfast menu?”

Earth Star would sometimes give two options like this, and
depending on Yeowoon’s answer, it would decide the day’s menu.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Since it’s breakfast, should I eat?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahaha


[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: ㅇㅋ Well then, I’ll go out and do some shopping
and get some sleep.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Good night to you too ^ㅇ^/

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Byung

‘Ji9 Star has terminated the connection.’

“I said it was morning….”

What happens if you sleep on time and wake up in the morning? As


Yeo-un, I could never understand people’s sense of time when day
and night changed.

***

All preparations have been completed.

Ji-gu Yoon worked hard to create an atmosphere where Yeo-woon


had no choice but to confess to me as a result of her brilliant search.
Moreover, since I didn’t know when Yeowoon would ask me to watch
a movie, I had to start preparing on the 24th, which was Christmas
Eve.
I swept and mopped the entire house in the morning. The cat woke
up to the sound of the vacuum cleaner and ran around to avoid it.
As soon as Yun Ji-gu entered the front door, she lit a scented candle
so that she could smell a gentle scent, and turned off all lights in the
living room except for the indirect light, which had a soft orange
glow. Actually, I thought about making a path with fake candles on
the way from the front door to the living room, but I felt like that was
going too far. It’s not even a proposal.

Moreover, the confession was something that Lee Yeo-woon, who


liked him more, should have done first. You should give Yeo-woon
some leeway, but you should not show that you put in a lot of effort
for her. Just in case, I also placed the roses I bought that morning in
a vase that I secretly stole from the cafe. Plus, you’ve prepared
some small snacks to eat while watching the movie, so all you have
to do is feel the afterglow.

The morning of the 24th. I didn’t even set an alarm, but my eyes
opened brightly. As soon as the morning sun rose, Ji-gu Yoon
washed his body thoroughly under running water. My heart could not
calm down as I thought that today or tomorrow was the day of the
decisive battle. As I touched my hair, it felt like it was too decorated,
so I messed it up again. After paying attention to calming down her
pounding head for almost an hour, Ji-gu Yoon began waiting for the
afterglow all day long.

“Are you awake yet?”

The lingering emotions didn’t even enter the game, and I started to
get bored. I turned on the TV to relieve my boredom, but for some
reason, none of the entertainment programs I enjoyed watching
caught my attention. I couldn’t understand what was so funny about
that and why everyone was laughing. Even at a comment that would
normally have made her laugh, Ji-gu Yoon tried to calm his trembling
heart by trembling his legs. The morning news said that it would
snow starting this evening. White Christmas, it was the perfect day
to receive a confession!

As soon as I woke up and was petting the cat that was slapping me
to get it to pet me, I heard a noise outside the front door. I wanted to
get up right away and check outside through the intercom, but the
cat was sitting on my lap and wouldn’t get up.

Ji-gu Yoon managed to put the cat down and run out the front door,
only to encounter the elevator already heading downstairs. He
returned home and headed to the window. When I opened the
window, a cold wind blew. Soon I saw a familiar face coming through
the entrance of the building.

“Why did you decorate it like that?”

Oh my, I even wore a scarf. Jigu Yoon grumbled. The lingering light
seen from above was as small as a dot, but it still sparkled enough
to be easily recognized. Ji-gu Yoon had never seen someone who
looked so good in long white padding in his entire life!

“…But where should I go?”

Jigu Yoon muttered as he was hit by the cold wind. Not long after, a
black car arrived in front of Yeo Woon. Yeowoon smiled prettily and
said something, then got into the passenger seat of the car and
closed the door. At that moment, my heart sank. I was curious about
where he was going dressed like that, but I was also going crazy
wondering what kind of bastard the person sitting in the driver’s seat
was.
He said he wasn’t going to work today, so I’ve been waiting at
Illusion since the morning, but it seems Yeo-woon had a prior
promise. But something is strange. Today was Christmas Eve. It
might be any other day, but today I wasn’t allowed to meet anyone
else.

‘My brother said it himself, he will be alone on Christmas. It’s an


embarrassing day to even meet friends….’

Then of course you have to send it with me, right?

My heart, which had been floating all day, suddenly plummeted.

***

A hospital-specific smell passed my nose. Yeowoon looked out the


window, fiddling with the bottle of drink he had finished drinking in his
hand.

‘It’s already snowing.’

When I drove to the hospital, the sky was overcast and overcast,
but before I knew it, heavy snow was falling. I thought there would
be a lot of traffic when I returned home.
“hey. Do you have plans today?”

“hey. The promise is to me, not Lee Yeowoon.”

“Not you.”

Only then did Yeo-woon turn his head and look at Se-hyeong.

“me?”

“uh. I keep looking outside. Do I have to go?”

“No, it’s just snowing.”

Seonyong snorted at those words. He said as he roughly threw the


towel he had wiped his hands on over the head of Jeong Se-hyung,
who was wearing a patient gown.

“What’s so amazing about that? “Is this your first time seeing snow?”

“That’s not it, it’s been a while since it snowed on Christmas. You
haven’t seen me since middle school, right?”

“Not having a lover makes me think about all sorts of things…. What
is White Christmas? But my girlfriend was also very excited. When it
snows, the roads get slippery and traffic gets jammed. Isn’t that
pretty?”
“That’s right.”

The streets the day after it snowed were truly terrible. The snow will
half melt and become soggy, and people will step on it and it will
become dirty with a dull color. Additionally, if the melted snow
refreezes in cold weather, the entire road will become slippery. The
snow covering the entire world in pure white was pretty and
romantic, but when I thought about the next day, I couldn’t help but
be immersed in the atmosphere.

“But what happened to you next door?”

“Has he moved out yet?”

Two people asked at the same time. Suddenly, the story of Yoon Ji-
gu came up. Yeowoon looked at them blankly and frowned at the
unexpected words.

“Why are you curious about that? “Why are you suddenly asking a
well-off person to move?”

“No, I confessed to the same guy, but he got dumped. But it’s next
door! “Are you embarrassed to live there?”

“I know yeah. If it were me, I would leave the room right away.”

“…is it?”

If Ji-gu Yoon dumps me, will he move? You don’t have to do that.
No, I hope not. Yeowoon’s face became serious.
“He hasn’t confessed yet.”

“What are you talking about. Didn’t you confess a long time ago?
“He said he likes you.”

“That’s true, but he didn’t confess.”

“…?”

The friends’ expressions became strange as if they were wondering


what that meant. But I couldn’t tell the afterglow. Why on earth
hasn’t Ji-gu Yun confessed? Do you just want to leave it as a one-
sided love, or do you still not have the courage? .

Ji-gu Yoon was blatant. The look in his eyes was so passionate that I
was the first to avert my eyes because I was embarrassed to see
his gaze directed at me. It’s so strange that I didn’t know this until
now.

“Then what if he confesses?”

“Hey, of course I’m moving.”

They were really good friends. If I don’t interfere even for a moment,
will horns grow on my butt? Yeo-woon laughed and kicked Seon-
yong’s shin.

“Never mind. I will take care of it.”


“Yes….”

Anyway, that’s what they say. Of course, you have to put a nice spin
on it and say no.

…I don’t hate Yoon Ji-gu. He was a good friend and a cute little
brother who lived next door. The reason why she wanted to reject
his confession was very simple.

‘Because Yoon Ji-gu is a man, and I have never liked men.’

I didn’t want to ruin my relationship with him. One day, when a


classmate called him out during physical education class and
expressed his feelings, he felt the same way about the classmate
next to him who suddenly pretended to be friendly and confessed to
him during a field trip. Yeowoon just shook his head with a troubled
expression. Because I couldn’t think of them as anything more than
friends.

I thought that since we were hanging out together all day, I might
have feelings for him. We were locked in the classroom from
morning, taking classes together, eating, talking, and sometimes
fighting…Yeowoon didn’t feel like hugging or kissing them. Friends
were just friends.

There is a slight difference between a friend and a lover, but that


slight difference changes the relationship. Even if it was small, it was
like saying that if you can’t overcome it, the relationship will never
change.
During my school days, grades and friendships were the biggest
concerns in my life. There was a time when Yeowoon also went
through a period of stormy weather. Even though it was clearly an
all-boys high school, I received quite a few confessions. Could it be
that I am there too? Yeowoon thought seriously.

It was the late summer of second grade, when cicadas were crying.
Yeo-woon, who was the class president, had a friend from the track
and field team whom she would occasionally take care of whenever
she came to school at the request of her homeroom teacher. All I
did was lend him writing notes, read textbooks with him, and wake
him up if he fell asleep during class. He, who was quiet, gradually
began to speak to Yeo-woon first. From one day on, strawberry milk
appeared on Yeowoon’s desk every morning. And on a rainy day, he
shared his feelings in an empty classroom. Since the feeling was
unusual, the lingering feeling was also expected. After being rejected
by Yeo-woon, he asked for one favor: if he could kiss her on the
cheek one last time.

From that day on, the afterglow became clear to me. I thought, I
really don’t feel anything for men.

The same goes for Yoon Ji-gu. He’s not that special to me. Yun Ji-gu
was a good neighbor. He couldn’t hear any noise from his house,
which was completely different from his previous neighbors who
brought their friends over for drinking every day or played loud
music all day during exam period. It’s fun to look at, and the
personality is…I can’t say it was very good, but it had its own charm.
I was told it wasn’t bad. But that was it.

Because I don’t think I want to kiss Yoon Ji-gu. Even if they kiss me
first….
At that moment, Yeo-woon remembered the feeling of Ji-gu Yun
coming closer to her while she was sleeping. While everything was
dark and I was lost in sleep, the warmth of someone suddenly hit
me. On your lips…Something touched me. I realized later that it was
really a kiss as a guess, but when I thought about it….

‘…’Don’t you hate it?’

I finally realized it again. But why? Was it because I was barely


conscious at the time? Because it was just a kiss, and the person
who did it was not aware that it was Yoon Ji-gu?

“….”

Yoon Ji-gu is a man, and he secretly kissed me and ran away. A


man did something like that to me, and instead of being angry…I
didn’t hate it, how could I think like this?

I could hear the thought collapsing in my head that I would never


become a man. I don’t hate Yoon Ji-gu, but the concept that she
would never be a romantic partner has become blurry.

I’m not sure yet, but I have a feeling that even if I were to
experience that kiss again, I would still feel the same way. It was
true.

‘I didn’t hate it.’

rather….
***

When the heavy snow stopped falling for a moment, Yeowoon left
the hospital and caught a taxi. Ha Seon-yong, who has a prior
appointment, left for the other side to pick up his girlfriend, while
Jeong Se-hyung will spend the night with his family at the hospital.

The radio that reported traffic conditions only talked about traffic
jams. As the melody of Christmas music accompanied by an
acoustic guitar played, the taxi driver hummed. A bell is heard
through the slightly open window. Yeo-woon watched the scenery
passing by outside the car window without saying a word.

Christmas Eve. There were people wearing doll masks and dancing
in front of the store, people walking arm in arm with their lovers with
happy faces, and even a dog going for a walk rather than a walk,
tightly held in the arms of its owner.

Everyone has their own story. There will be people who go about
their daily lives even on special days, there will be people who spend
time with loved ones, and there will also be people like me who
suddenly find themselves in trouble.

Yeowoon let out a small sigh. The taxi stopped on the main road
near my house. Yeowoon held out his card, paid, and got out of the
taxi. My shoulders suddenly shrunk in the cold wind. I took a step
forward, the snow crunching under my shoes. Jeong Se-hyung
suddenly had surgery on a day like this and was in a mess. I
mumbled to myself and took the elevator.

What should I eat for dinner? Should I just order something to get in
the mood?

At that time, I was thinking trivial thoughts. The elevator door


opened with a ding sound. As the heavy iron door was pushed to
both sides, the person Yeo-woon had been thinking about for a long
time was standing in front of it.

“uh?”

“….”

Yeo-woon couldn’t even take a step and looked up at Yun Ji-gu, who
was standing in the dark hallway. Perhaps because I never imagined
that we would suddenly meet like this, my mouth fell silent. Yeowoon
raised his head and checked the floor number. It’s not the first floor.
It was definitely the 9th floor.

however…Ji-gu Yoon, who had been at home all day today, had
frozen ringing ears. The tip of his nose was also red, as if frozen in
the cold, and more than anything, his expression was unusual.

He only showed anxious eyes, as if he was suppressing something.


Just before the elevator door closed, Yeowoon pressed the open
button and got off. Ji-gu Yoon, who thought he was about to go
down, just looked at himself and bit his lower lip until the elevator
door closed behind Yeo-woon. When I saw that, I got scared. I didn’t
know why either.
“What are you doing here?”

I barely spoke, pretending to be calm.

“Earth.”

If he had nothing to say, he would at least move out of the way, but
Yun Ji-gu stood still, motionless, as if frozen in place.

“Don’t you have an appointment?”

“… Where have you been?”

Yun Ji-gu, who had been silent for a while, finally opened his mouth.
A suppressed voice. What’s going on? He had a face that looked like
the world was going to collapse at any moment, so I was worried for
no reason.

“I came to meet a friend for a moment.”

“…friend?”

“It was cold outside, so zip up all the way and go out.”

“Then me.”

“…huh?”
“how… How can you do that?”

Yeo-woon felt as if Yun Ji-gu’s eyes were gradually turning red. No, it
wasn’t just a feeling. There was definitely moisture shining in the
eyes. I thought it was just my eyes shaking, but when I looked
closer, I saw that water was fluttering around. He quietly closed his
eyes and continued speaking.

“I’m asking just in case.”

“….”

“Do you know that I like you?”

My lips stiffened and I couldn’t say anything. I knew it. But the
moment I heard that fact again through Ji-gu Yoon’s mouth, I felt like
we were the only two left in the world. Ji-gu Yoon looked closely at
Yeo-woon’s expression and lowered his head. My eyes fell on the
muffler in Yeowoon’s hand. Ha, Ji-gu Yoon burst out laughing and
muttered.

“I see.”

“….”

“I knew….”

“Hey, it’s Earth.”


“I know that, but how…?” …!”

“I want you to…What are you talking about….”

Ji-gu Yoon was wheezing in his chest as if he were upset and


muttered in a low voice.

“You like me too.”

uh? what?

“… You like me.”

Yeo-woon repeated in his head whether what I heard was correct. If


you just looked at what he said, it might have sounded like he was
throwing a tantrum. However, the voice was slightly trembling, the
round eyes were filled with tears, and the eyebrows were very
distorted…It’s so sad. In an instant, Yeowoon was struck by the
illusion that he had become a criminal.

“no?”

“Earth, I….”

I was embarrassed.

“…I don’t know.”


Just as I wanted, Ji-gu Yoon confessed first, and I just had to say
what I had in mind…My mind went blank and I couldn’t say the lines
I had planned out. I didn’t want to do that.

“I don’t know. I’m confused….”

“Are you confused? Do not be ridiculous. You were the one who
confused me.”

He reprimanded Yeo Woon without even blinking.

“at last… All he wanted was my body.”

Tears like chicken droppings slowly fell from my round eyes.

“Are you playing with me now? “Am I easy?”

…What are you talking about? He couldn’t move at all, as if his


ankles were caught by the tears he shed. He looked at Yoon Ji-gu in
bewilderment, tears falling silently, and without realizing it, he lifted
his hand and placed it near his eyes.

“Thank you for liking me.”

“If you’re going to say something like that, just be quiet.”

“thank you.”
“Shut up, it’s a bit….”

There was a lot of sadness in the voice. Ji-gu Yoon shook his head
and shook his hand as he swiped his finger at his cheek, not sure
why it was so cold. Yeowoon said, lowering his hand that was
hovering in the air.

“Why are you crying, huh?”

“Don’t talk to me, damn it.”

“Earth, I….”

“It’s really embarrassing….”

“Do I like you or not…I do not know.”

“yes?”

For a moment, Yun Ji-gu’s eyes widened. He sniffled once with a


face that looked like it was about to collapse at any moment.

“What do you mean? If you don’t know how you feel, who knows! …
Fuck, how can I know if you don’t know? Why did you do that to
me? Why, why were you so good to me? why…Wow, I’m really
annoyed…. Don’t talk to me again. Don’t even look at me. Then I will
write my brother’s name in the will, bite my tongue, and die quickly.”

“No, what is so extreme… .”


“It’s no joke!”

“Ah Okay.”

“Doesn’t it sound like human words? “Am I easy enough?”

“Earth, listen.”

I don’t know if this is a good thing to do.

“I know you kissed me secretly.”

“….”

This might end up ruining things even more.

“I knew.”

“Fuck, fuck….”

Is this what despair is? Although he only swore, it seemed as if he


had been ruined written honestly on his face. Yeo-woon felt funny
even though he wasn’t in a situation to laugh, so Yeo-woon held
back his laughter and cupped Yoon Ji-gu’s cheeks with both hands.
My face was wet with tears and was in my hands.

“To the extent that I didn’t hate it…I like you.”


Tears welled up in my eyes again, which I thought had finally
stopped. He seemed confused.

“What are you talking about?”

“Literally.”

“So you like me? You said you didn’t know earlier. Are you playing
with me now?”

“I’m saying that because that’s not true. This is complicated. That’s
why I don’t want to answer in such an ambiguous way.”

“…I don’t understand. Please speak a little more simply.”

“….”

“Why, why are you holding back? No, what do you mean? “Have you
been planning to stop people’s blood since a while ago?”

I don’t know anymore.

Yeowoon closed his eyes tightly and raised his head. Whether you
didn’t like it because you felt it at first glance or because the other
person was special is something you have to experience to know.
When I impulsively pressed my lips against his, Ji-gu Yoon stopped
breathing.

“….”
“….”

When I slowly opened my closed eyes, my gaze met with watery


eyes. Yun Ji-gu’s gaze, with his eyes straight open, was shaking
wildly. Surprisingly, there was no objection. I thought it would be the
same as everyone else. There’s nothing special about it. I wish we
could just remain friends.

But now I was really, really confused.

Have you become special to me? Since when….

At this moment, all thoughts of being a friend or a younger sibling


melt away. Even his lips were frozen. The temperature was
inexplicable unless all the windows in the house were open.

Yoon Ji-gu’s shoulders trembled as he bit his lower lip. The cold lips
trembled and opened a gap. Yeo-woon smiled, looking at the man
who was still raising his eyes in surprise, and I closed my eyes first.
It was like any chemical reaction. What I meant was that it wasn’t a
simple act of touching lips against each other. His lips tasted like
tears, and the inside of his frozen lips was as hot as fire. Yeo-woon
realized that the fact that Yun Ji-gu was a man was no obstacle.

When the fleeting kiss ended, Yun Ji-gu, who had been frozen like a
stone statue the whole time, turned bright red and shed tears. My
lips were trembling like a person shivering from the cold. He raised
his hand, touched his lips, and muttered with a confused look on his
face.

“why….”
“Earth.”

“…yes.”

“Let’s pretend that what you said today never happened. You never
confessed, and I didn’t dump you. Understand? “You can’t move.”

“Why are you moving…? But what did I say…. And I keep repeating
this from earlier…. What’s wrong, really….”

“Give me some time to think.”

“How much do you need…?”

“Until I’m sure.”

“So when is that? Rather, why did I, no, kiss me….”

I know. Yeowoon frowned and thought for a moment, then blurted


out his thoughts without a single lie.

“I don’t know either. I just wanted to do that.”

“….”

“I do not know either….”


“Then who knows besides you? How long can I wait? If I wait all the
time and die of old age, will they take responsibility for me? How are
you going to take responsibility for it?”

“Don’t wait. If you have feelings for someone else, you can like that
person.”

“….”

Jigu Yoon shook his head. Very slightly, I shook my head. At the
same time, he embraced Yeo Woon. And then he buried his face in
Yeowoon’s shoulder. The broad back slightly swayed. Oh, fuck. Yun
Ji-gu mumbled a curse very softly. I didn’t know if it was directed at
me or Ji-gu Yoon himself…The back of my ears were red, which I
couldn’t completely hide.

“Then promise me one thing too.”

“what?”

“… I will do my best to match your taste.”

“what?”

“So, if there’s anyone else besides me… I’ll organize everything.”

“Nothing like that.”

“… They say I’m the only one.”


“I have only you.”

Yeowoon sighed and closed his eyes. Everything about me fell like
dominoes in an instant because of Yoon Ji-gu. I didn’t know if this
was a good thing to do, and I couldn’t figure out why he was an
exception. When I remembered the first meeting that stood out to
me, I became even more confused.

I just raised my hand and stroked my slightly disheveled hair. The


slightly curly hair seemed to be wrapped around my fingers.

***

There has never been a day when I sympathized so much with the
saying that waiting is hell. Lee Yeo-woon leaves in someone else’s
car and doesn’t return for several hours. It’ll be just a moment. I’ll be
back soon. Yun Ji-gu shook his head, thinking to himself that there
was no way he would meet anyone else today.

‘Because my brother likes me.’

Because he has liked me for a long time.

‘You liked me first.’


Even though I wasn’t the only one, he was interested in me. Plus,
Yeowoon had never been confident before, so I had the upper hand.
But why do I feel so anxious? The steps did not fall. Even though I
tried to do other things, all my attention kept going out the window,
and I kept opening the door and looking down because I thought the
lingering feelings would come back. Foolishly.

It started to snow. White snow piled up on the roof of the building


and on the cars parked on the roadside. The snow didn’t stop for
hours. That means it’s been that long since I started waiting without
being able to do anything. Who was the owner of that car? If we
spend time together today, we probably aren’t ordinary friends.
Besides, time…. There was plenty of time to do whatever I wanted
to do. My heart was throbbing. It was the lingering feelings that
made him feel so miserable.

I hated him. I hated not having him in front of me. I really hated
having other people around Lee Yeowoon. You are the only one for
me…I couldn’t understand him going to meet someone else when
he couldn’t seem to show off to me.

…Nevertheless, I wanted to see the afterglow. That was such a


strange thing. Even though he was doing such a terrible thing to me,
Yeo-woon didn’t just hate me or dislike me. He was the one who
always had the upper hand in his relationship with Yeo-woon, but
with his absence alone, Yoon Ji-gu became Eul in an instant.

If Lee Yeo-woon comes back, I’ll be angry. I just have to ask where
he went after leaving me. …But what right do I have? I don’t have
any relationship with him yet.

“…!”
It was then that I came to my senses. Yun Ji-gu got up and slightly
tilted his head out of the window. I could recognize it right away. A
person even whiter than that, walking on a pure white road, leaving
pale footprints. It seemed like he and himself were the only ones left
in this world.

Yun Ji-gu didn’t even think about closing the window and
immediately turned around and ran towards the front door. I roughly
slipped my feet into the slippers lying around in the shoe rack and
opened the front door. The elevator started to go up. And finally, the
door opened, and the person who had been waiting for so long
looked up.

“What are you doing here.”

“….”

I tried to get angry, but it seemed like I was going to go crazy with
anger and resentment…. All my will to be angry disappeared at the
sound of a single voice. The mere fact that he was looking at me in
front of me made me feel empty. I was waiting for you all day, and
his expression was so calm and clear.

“Earth.”

and…Because it’s so pretty.

“Don’t you have an appointment?”


When I stand in front of Yeowoon, I feel infinitely small. Even though
he liked himself, he was not a weakling. It was no use being so
anxious and waiting for him to open up his feelings to me.

“Where have you been?”

“I came to meet a friend for a moment.”

He was shameless and very proud until the end.

“It was cold outside, so zip up all the way and go out.”

…He was infinitely kind.

“Then me.”

“….”

“how… How can you do that?”

My brother shouldn’t do this to me. Whether to talk to you from the


beginning or not. I shouldn’t have been nice to you. How can I….

“I’m asking just in case.”

“….”

“Do you know that I like you?”


The plan I had made, which was not a plan, collapsed all at once.
With these words, Yeo-woon missed the opportunity to confess to
me, and even her attempts to accept her by pretending not to notice
until the end were in vain. But Yeowoon was not surprised at all. He
blinked calmly, as if he knew it would be like this from the beginning.

“I see.”

Now I’m curious.

“I knew….”

Has he ever been sincere towards me, even for a moment? When I
realized that I was the only one who was always serious in my
relationship with him, the sadness I had been suppressing came out.

“I know that, but how…?” …!”

“I want you to…What are you talking about….”

Yeo-woon Lee decided to pretend not to know. His intention was to


turn himself into such a fool and escape like a loach alone.

“You like me too.”

I wasn’t at all…. Even though I said I didn’t like it, I just arbitrarily
pushed my way in.

“… You like me.”


Because it was you who made me like this. Take responsibility.

“Earth, I am. …I don’t know.”

Lee Yeo-woon was selfish until the end. The moment I heard those
words, I felt like something was falling apart inside me. I knew it
instinctively. This was despair.

“I don’t know. I’m confused….”

“Are you confused? Do not be ridiculous. You were the one who
confused me.”

A deep sense of betrayal, resentment, resentment, waiting, and


resignation toward the other person.

…If this was love, I never wanted to do it again.

“at last…All my brother wanted was my body. Are you playing with
me now? “Am I easy?”

I tried not to get angry, but it was Lee Yeo-woon who made me like
this. So that meant it wasn’t my fault.

At that time, Yeowoon raised his hand and gently placed his hand on
my cheek. Only then did Ji-gu Yoon realize that he was crying. A
warm hand, resembling a lingering feeling, caressed the area around
my eyes.
“Thank you for liking me.”

to the end….

“…thank you.”

This is the end. It will all be over. Today, Ji-gu Yoon decided to give
up all his feelings for Yeo-woon. I’m tired of being manipulated and
being swayed around by a man who has no intention of confessing
to me. It needs to be cleaned up. Even if Yeo-woon regrets it later
and clings to it, it will be of no use.

“Earth, I….”

…Because it’s the end.

“I’m not sure if I like you or not.”

“…?”

It was a moment when everything I had thought about until now


went to waste. What are you talking about. My brother…I’m not sure
if you like me or not. So you’re saying you didn’t like me from the
beginning?

“What do you mean?”

Does that make sense?


“If you don’t know how you feel, who knows!”

This is absolutely ridiculous!

“…Fuck, how can I know if you don’t know?”

I couldn’t figure out how to hold back my tears. It was my first


time…. It’s the first time I’ve ever liked someone this much. First of
all, it was my first time kissing someone….

“Why did you do that to me? Why, why were you so good to me?
why….”

It was my first time crying so helplessly in front of another person.


She had given him all the beginnings and special things, but she
never dreamed that she would be betrayed before she could even
begin.

“Don’t talk to me again. Don’t even look at me. Then I will write my
brother’s name in the will, bite my tongue, and die quickly.”

“No, what is so extreme… .”

“It’s no joke!”

I’m really going to organize everything. I will never like someone


again, and Lee Yeowoon will be included in that. He can no longer be
that special person to me. It was Lee Yeo-woon who made him like
this. A lingering feeling…ruined my life
“I know you kissed me secretly.”

“….”

“I knew.”

“Fuck, fuck….”

My life is ruined.

Yeowoon’s hand covered my face. Everything was exposed and


tattered in front of him, but the lingering sight before his eyes was so
white and just as pretty as usual. Jigu Yoon felt so unfair about that.

I knew everything. I wanted to immediately hit my head against the


wall and erase my memories.

“I like you enough that I didn’t hate it.”

“….”

One lingering word made my mind become a mess again. What


does that mean? Haven’t you been saying that you don’t like
yourself at all?

“What are you talking about?”

“Literally.”
“So you like me? You said you didn’t know earlier. Are you playing
with me now?”

“I’m saying that because that’s not true. This is complicated. That’s
why I don’t want to answer in such an ambiguous way.”

“…I don’t understand. Please speak a little more simply.”

I felt like a fool. Am I the only one who doesn’t understand?

“Why, why are you holding back? No, what do you mean? “Have you
been planning to stop people’s blood since a while ago?”

I urged the lingering feeling. He rolled his eyes as if he was troubled


and then looked straight into my eyes. and….

“…!”

The face got closer. His lips were overlapped with mine. My heart,
which had been thrown carelessly on the floor, rose up again and
started beating wildly. Yeo-woon, who had gently closed her eyes,
opened them with her lips pressed to mine. Yun Ji-gu was confused
as to what on earth he was doing. Is this a farewell gift? Even
though we’ve never met in the first place….

Yeowoon bit his lip and gently licked the spot. It’s not like giving you
a bottle or giving you medicine. Everything he did was so
provocative that it took my breath away. Yeowoon closed his eyes
again and started teasing and playing with himself. But that doesn’t
mean he’ll like me…. I just wanted to die.
It was as if he was trying to let me know that what I had secretly
done was not a kiss. I really, really lost my first kiss to Yeowoon. He
stole my first one again.

“Earth.”

“…yes.”

“Let’s pretend that what you said today never happened.”

What do you mean by doing that?

“You never confessed, and I didn’t dump you. Understand? “You


can’t move.”

“Why are you moving…? But what did I say…. And I keep repeating
this from earlier…. What’s wrong, really….”

What Yeowoon Lee says is very difficult. It would be nice if you could
say it a little more simply.

“Give me some time to think.”

“….”

That one word took my breath away. I thought it would never


happen, but there was a little bit of hope.
“How much do you need…?”

“Until I’m sure.”

“So when was that? Rather, why did I, no, kiss me….”

“I don’t know either. I just wanted to do that.”

“….”

“I do not know either….”

It felt quite different from what I said before. If it sounded like he was
trying to avoid it earlier, it seems like Yeo-woon is really confused
now. Maybe it’s my imagination, but at least this time it felt that way.
It’s funny, but in this situation, he wanted to kiss Yeowoon again.
Suddenly.

“Then who knows besides you? How long can I wait? If I wait all the
time and die of old age, will they take responsibility for me? How are
you going to take responsibility for it?”

“Don’t wait. If you have feelings for someone else, you can like that
person.”

That won’t happen. Because I decided that I would never like


someone again. I didn’t want to repeat this.

“Then promise me one thing too.”


“what?”

That moment. Jigu Yoon made the biggest decision of my life.

“… I will do my best to match your taste.”

“what?”

“So, if there’s anyone else besides me… I’ll organize everything.”

“Nothing like that.”

“… They say I’m the only one.”

“I have only you.”

Only Lee Yeowoon knows whether it is true or not. But since he at


least said that he was the only one, I really wanted to believe that.

***

In my 23 years of life, there has never been a Christmas Eve this


messed up!
Ji-gu Yoon, who came back after ruining all his work, lay on the living
room sofa and played with his lips until after midnight. My face grew
hot as I imagined the soft texture suddenly entering my mouth. I
wanted to stop thinking about this. My mind was in tatters, and even
then, Yeo-woon’s words kept lingering in my head. By now I was at
the point where I could memorize everything he said, so I fell asleep.

There was a lingering feeling in my dream that night. It happened


often, but today was something different. Yeowoon hugged my neck
tightly and lifted his heel to kiss me. The dream ended there. Just as
Yeo-woon was about to suck his lips, Ji-gu Yoon opened his eyes
and felt something quite different from his usual morning. I looked
inside my pants just in case.

“….”

Fuck….

On the morning of a white Christmas after ten years, Ji-gu Yoon had
to deal with an unplanned morning situation. Even while I was trying
to suppress that shitty feeling, I realized that I was sad that my
dream had ended there, and I really wanted to die.

I felt like today was going to be the worst day. The only idiot who
dreams of only one kiss is himself. My heart was still pounding wildly.

“It wouldn’t be unfair if it was a worse dream.”

He muttered, pressing his chest. This is why I wish I could appear in


Yeo-woon’s dreams.
When will this ‘thinking’ end? Lee Yeowoon thinks too much.

Is it true that there is only me? You probably contacted people other
than me, right?

Then I confessed that I would cater to my brother’s tastes….

Should I look for something for a moment? Yun Ji-gu, who was
forced to wake up early, impulsively went into the room where the
computer was. And less than an hour later, I stumbled out of the
room due to dizziness.

“….”

The scene I had just seen kept flashing in my mind. Maybe it’s
because it’s Christmas, but the men in the video are wearing red
Santa hats on their heads…I did something like that.

“How to!”

I’ve never even been beaten by my mom!

Mmm. Gah yes.

Give me food. At the feet of the man, who was leaning against the
wall with a pale face and catching his breath, a black cat tilted its
head, looking up at him.
Although I was prepared to some extent, actually seeing the action
was a different story. So, if you and Yeo-woon have a relationship
like that, then I have to do something like that, too. While I was in
shock for a while, the doorbell suddenly rang. Ji-gu Yoon took a step
forward only after the doorbell rang once more.

“Who is it….”

“….”

It was Yeowoon Lee. He smiled awkwardly and said hello. In an


instant, my face heated up. I was reminded of the proverb that even
a tiger comes running when its name is called.

“…?”

Am I right? A tiger is not a dog…?

anyway. As soon as I saw the afterglow, it felt like time had stopped
again. It was nice that Yeo-woon was the first person I saw today.
This was the first time Yun Ji-gu felt that this was the feeling he had
when he came across something he liked when he had never even
thought about it. It was similar to the feeling I felt when I clicked on
the lottery without thinking and a boarding pet with a 0.1%
probability appeared.

“Merry Christmas.”

“… My brother too.”
It is a lie to say that gifts are not given to those who do not believe in
Santa. Since I was very young, I knew that Santa was my father, but
didn’t I receive a Christmas present like this?

“Can you give me your number?”

Home password? Password for bank account? What number?

For a moment, my mind went blank and I could not think normally.
Yeowoon saw herself frozen in an idiotic manner and tilted her head
slightly as if urging her to answer.

“Take a number.”

What he held out was a cell phone.

“When I thought about it, I realized there was no other way to


contact you.”

“….”

Have you been trying to contact me? And today?

“We didn’t even know each other’s numbers until now. I just went
down to the cafe and you weren’t there.”

“A cafe?”
Ji-gu Yun momentarily opened his eyes and asked. When I think of
Yeowoon stopping by the cafe to look for me, my heart…My heart
was so tickled.

“You went to a cafe?”

“huh.”

“because of me?”

“Because you’re usually at home or at a cafe. So I thought it was


one of two things.”

“Yeah, that’s right.”

“I wasn’t looking for you, so I came out as soon as I went in. I


should have rang the doorbell from the beginning. right?”

Ji-gu Yoon looked down blankly at Yeo-woon’s cell phone in his


hand. A keypad consisting of ten numbers and two special symbols
filled the screen. You want me to put my number here? Ji-gu Yoon
absentmindedly dialed the number eleven and held it out to Yeo-
woon. Yeowoon saved his number right in front of me. The name
Yoon Ji-gu was engraved on his cell phone.

“thank you.”

“….”
“… Your eyes are very swollen.”

Yeo-woon hesitated for a moment and spoke. The apologetic


expression on his face was a bonus. The moment Yoon Ji-gu heard
those words, he expected that the words were not right. This is
because all I did in the morning was wash my face and deal with last
night’s dream.

You need to look in the mirror right now! What is my appearance


right now that dull Lee Yeo-woon is even criticizing me? No, if you
think about it, it was like seeing everything you couldn’t see
yesterday. Ji-gu Yoon closed his eyes tightly, remembering how he
had slut-shamed Yeo-woon yesterday.

Yesterday became the most shameful thing in my life. I should have


at least had a drink while I waited. Then I would have at least an
excuse. I couldn’t bear the fact that I had done something like that
with my bare mind. Even I couldn’t understand how impulsive I was
yesterday.

“The eyes…It’s because I fell asleep. I really, really sleep a lot. Your
eyes get swollen when you sleep, right? … Were you just taking a
nap?”

“Did I wake you up? “I’m sorry.”

“That’s not it….”

“You can sleep a little more.”


“….”

Conversation shouldn’t stop like this. But I didn’t know what to say to
make the conversation flow naturally. Yeo-woon looked at Yun Ji-gu,
whose lips were only moving, and asked cautiously.

“Do you have plans for tonight?”

“no!”

“…It’s a surprise.”

Yeowoon’s shoulders rose slightly. …Did I speak too hastily? I was


afraid that it seemed as if Yeowoon was just waiting to tell that story.
I hated it when words came out right away without going through my
head. I wanted to seem more mature to him, but things don’t always
go as planned.

“No, no. promise.”

“Then do you want to have dinner with me later?”

“Dinner?”

“It’s a bit awkward to go out because there are so many people.


Let’s just figure it out between us.”

“… The two of us?”


If it were any other day, I would have said I would have figured it out
right away, but today is Christmas. A special day that only happens
once a year. I knew that saying this would sound lame, but I felt like
I would regret it if I didn’t ask.

“To me… Is it because you’re sorry?”

“no.”

Yeowoon didn’t think for a moment and immediately denied what I


said.

“Not really. …Actually, I wasn’t planning on asking her out to dinner


either. I just said it because it occurred to me.”

When I heard those words, my sinking feeling suddenly lifted up.

“Have you thought about it?”

“What are you thinking?”

“….”

“Oh, that…. How can you make a decision in one day?”

Why can’t I do it?


“Earth, I’m complicated too. I don’t know if we’ll meet for a while…
Isn’t it a bit weird to answer something like this in one day?”

We meet for a while and then break up. How can you think like
that….

“Weird.”

“what?”

“Hyung, you kissed me yesterday.”

“…It did.”

“But it’s unfair that it’s the same as usual. only me….”

“….”

“It seems like I’m the only one who cares….”

When I stood in front of Yeowoon, I sometimes felt naked. I feel like


all my emotions are being exposed. He seemed like an adult and
was so calm, but it felt really bad to feel like I was the only one
feeling embarrassed and anxious. But, the lingering feeling was
good nonetheless. It’s difficult because he just gets better and better
every day.

Yeowoon’s chest rose and fell faintly without a sound. It seemed like
he was trying to decide what to say in his head. That moment felt so
long.

“It’s not like that.”

“Usually when something like yesterday happens… Isn’t it normal for


you to avoid me?”

“I didn’t want to avoid it.”

“…Look, it’s just me again.”

“… Do I look calm now?”

“A lot.”

Yeowoon blinked a few times with his usual expressionless face,


then rolled his round eyes and averted his gaze. Embarrassment is
evident on his face.

“I’m glad. I’m just pretending.”

“Don’t lie.”

“I thought about it about five times before I rang your doorbell.”

“….”
“And I kept rehearsing in my head what I would say when I looked at
your face.”

“Practice…i did it?”

“…I don’t know how I look in your eyes, but I care too. It’s natural.”

Does that mean that Yeo-woon Lee’s heart is racing just like hers
right now? Whatever it is, it is certain that it is different from usual.

“I’m confused because my brother is like this….”

No matter how I look at it, Lee Yeowoon likes me. It makes me keep
having hope even though I know it isn’t the case.

“Uh, is it Earth? don’t cry.”

“I’m not crying!”

“I’m afraid I’ll cry again….”

Yeo-woon said that he didn’t like her, but that wasn’t the case in his
opinion. Or is this even something I am misunderstanding?

He lifts and lowers himself several times a day.

“Okay, so I’ll just think hard from now on.”


“uh? suddenly?”

“You said you would think about it.”

“That’s true…. Aren’t the words a little different?”

“I think about you all day these days. Just now….”

“Even before?”

“….”

As soon as he remembered what happened in the morning, Jigu


Yoon’s expression hardened. It’s true that this Yeo-woon is good….

“what. Why don’t you stop talking?”

The bizarre image I saw earlier keeps appearing over a face that
looks far from obscene. I was even more scared because the
images of Lee Yeo-woon and the hairy foreign man wearing a Santa
hat and holding a whip in his hand did not overlap at all.

“Anyway, you’re saying you’re free in the evening?”

“…today!”

I had a feeling that something might happen.


“I just have to eat dinner today!”

“I was going to do that?”

“Not yet…I’m mentally prepared….”

Yeo-woon looked blankly at Yun Ji-gu, whose face was white, and
then tilted his head. And then I ended up laughing awkwardly.

“Sorry, I guess I was too hasty. I know you might feel uncomfortable
talking about this….”

“…yes.”

“I’ll just eat dinner today.”

“….”

“Nothing else to say.”

“is it so.”

It was fortunate. Jigu Yoon nodded patronizingly.

Yun Ji-gu had made a dinner date, and after spending some time
with her, she carefully organized what she had to do in her head.
Let’s wash first. I couldn’t show this shabby appearance anymore.
Let’s take a shower, soothe the puffy eyes, and change into
something more normal. There was so much to prepare before the
afterglow came.

“Then later….”

Before Yeo-woon could finish speaking, Ji-gu Yoon looked up at the


clock and stopped talking. The hour hand was running towards 1.

“Come at eight o’clock.”

“Are you going to sleep that long?”

No. Eight o’clock is too late. Time is too precious to waste today!

“No, seven o’clock.”

“Yes, seven o’clock.”

“No, six thirty….”

“Six-thirty?”

“…I just come when it’s convenient. It’s okay after five o’clock.”

“You mean five o’clock?”

“Anytime after that…. I will be waiting from then on.”


“Okay, sleep well.”

“Do not sleep.”

“Yeah. Good night!”

“….”

Yeowoon joked that I should just take a nap and left. As soon as the
door closed, Yun Ji-gu started to move around busily. Let alone a
nap, more than an hour passed just to wash. After thoroughly
washing every corner, I spent an hour choosing clothes, and as I
was excited, snow began to fall outside the window.

Today was going to be the best Christmas ever!

Yeowoon visited my house as soon as five o’clock. It was the best


feeling to let the man who had kicked her just a day ago into the
house. Yeo-woon looked at the flower on the table and thought, ‘I
saw this at a cafe. Do you have it at home too?’ And he praised my
sense. and….

“….”

In fact, I was so distracted all day that I couldn’t remember what


conversation I had with him. However, today, Yeowoon did not take
the cat away from his arms all day. Yoon Po-song, who avoids and
doesn’t pay attention to anyone except herself, approached Lee
Yeo-woon for the first time today and sat on his hand. Yeowoon
seemed to be more moved than ever before and was speechless for
a while. At that moment, Jigu Yoon became a little jealous of his cat.
And at the same time, I blamed myself for thinking this way.

Fuck, I don’t want to be stroked by these pretty hands! And


considering his sweet taste, he would rather be hit than petted.
There really was no answer. After the craziest dinner of my life, I
went home with a lingering feeling. That’s what I wanted too, but at
the same time I didn’t want to let him go.

“No, but don’t you usually avoid it?”

But you didn’t want to avoid me…What kind of bullshit is that? If


there was a machine that could look into Yeo-woon’s head, it didn’t
matter how much it was, I wanted to buy it right away and look into
Yeo-woon’s mind. I was going crazy wondering what he was thinking
and why he was doing this to me.

At that time, the cell phone on the table vibrated and a text message
window appeared as a preview.

010-XXXX-XXXX

Oh right. I forgot earlier…. Save my number!

It was a text message sent by mistake. Ji-gu Yoon looked down at


the unknown number that interrupted his thoughts with a gloomy
look and sent a reply.

Who are you?


010-XXXX-XXXX

Whose one? LOL

What, even a joke? He thinks I am his friend.

You sent the wrong text

010-XXXX-XXXX

Hahahahahahaha

Blocked

010-XXXX-XXXX

Oh sorry

010-XXXX-XXXX

Isn’t this the district number?

“…?”

010-XXXX-XXXX

I’m Lee Yeowoon….


“…omg!”

At that moment, thoughts of ruin filled my mind. It was only now that
I remembered that Yeowoon had taken my number in the morning.
Why did I forget! He was so out of his mind at the time that he
couldn’t even ask me to give him his number!

Yun Ji-gu quickly scanned the text message he had sent once again
and, fortunately, heaved a sigh of relief after confirming that he did
not swear harshly or be overly rude.

ㅁNow ㅏㅇ

that’s right!!

That’s right, Yun Ji-gu….

010-XXXX-XXXX

I thought you gave me a fake number haha.

010-XXXX-XXXX

Did you save my number?

Save…I guess I should. With trembling hands, Yoon Ji-gu pressed


Yeo-woon’s number and went to ‘Add to address book.’ He wrote the
word ‘Lee Yeo-un’ in the name box, looked at it for a while, and then
added a red heart to the end of the name.
“…!”

It was a very blatant save name. I hurriedly erased it in case anyone


saw it and saved it by adding the word ‘hyung’ after my name.

i did it

Yeowoon Lee

Ah, I’m glad I spoke before I got blocked.

No, I don’t usually block people like this ㅡㅡ I just chew on text
messages;; Is it real? My blocklist is completely clean.

Yeowoon Lee

Okay haha then I’ll see you at the pool.

“…swimming pool.”

Can I go? Last night, I had a dream where Lee Yeo-woon was
holding my hand and kissing me. When I thought about the special
nature of the swimming pool, my head started pounding. I felt
strange imagining Yeowoon wearing a swimsuit.

Wearing a swimsuit that barely covers part of the lower body…I will
show off my body that is completely soaked with water. It’s so lewd.
In a space where everyone else is watching…It’s a public place. Is
that okay? I was worried whether I would be able to treat him as
casually as I had until now. Jigu Yoon shook his head as if to shake
off the feast of flesh colors that filled his mind. After thinking about
something strange for a while, I belatedly checked that a text
message from Yeowoon had arrived.

Yeowoon Lee

good night.

Did the letters that grow well originally look like this? Yun Ji-gu felt
his heart pounding for no reason as he looked at the magical
sentence created with just two letters. Yesterday, before going to
bed, I regretted it for a long time, blamed myself, and felt sad
because I wanted to take everything back. But now that I think about
it again, I think it would have been better for me to say it.

“….”

Yun Ji-gu looked around for no reason, even though no one was
looking at him. And then he gently placed his lips on the message
Yeowoon had sent. The feel of the cold and hard liquid crystal made
me feel embarrassed for no reason.

Hyungdo

good night

December 25th, 11:50 PM. With only 10 minutes left in the day, I left
a good night text. The message reads ‘Good night’ and ‘I like you.’
The indifferent tone of the message was filled with overwhelming
emotions. I was fortunate to be able to share some lingering words
at the end of a long day. It would be nice if even these feelings could
be conveyed to him….

On the outside, it looked like nothing was different from before, but
the die had already been cast. The relationship was already
changing little by little irreversibly.
#08.
My Boyfriend Next Door

‘He died. Would you like to be resurrected in a village near you?’

In the middle of the Eurabi coral colony, Yeowoon’s character fell to


the ground. A crude tombstone appeared over my character. The
second semi-boss monster was always a challenge for the coral
colony. I really thought I could get through it without dying this time.

Yeowoon sighed and used the token of resurrection item. A bright


light enveloped Yeowoon’s character, and he was successfully
revived with 50% HP. Yeowoon immediately hung on the ladder,
avoiding the monster’s attacks and filling up his stamina. Taking
advantage of that opportunity, the three remaining party members
killed all the monsters.

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: Eeeee

[Party] Park Hwibug: Newta died again haha

Cockroach guy…. It’s starting again.

[Party] Park Hwibugae: It seems like it costs more to go through a


dungeon. ㅇㅈ?
[Party] neutaaaa: Caught ㅠ

Park Hwibugae recently had fun making fun of Yeo-Woon, who has
a fairly high death rate in the theme of being a hero. In times like
this, the quickest way to escape the teasing was to just admit it
quickly and shamelessly move on.

Of course, what Park Hwibug said was not wrong. I know that I
myself die a lot. But it is also true that it is a bit unfair. Bed bugs are
dying just as much as me.

‘They always make fun of me…. ‘Isn’t it easy?’

If I had the chance, I also wanted to get a little revenge on Park Hwi-
bugae. Although it was unclear when that opportunity would come.

[Party] neutaaaa: Let’s make fun of them by even adding money as


a surcharge.

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Hey, Nyuta…Now they’re taking people’s


money too

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: It’s old.

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: Add it to the price of the buoy.

Park Hwibugae used the skill of scattering coins. The message ‘319
BELL acquired!’ appeared in the item acquisition window that
appeared in the bottom left.
[Party] neutaaaa: Ah…. I’m grateful, but

[Party] Park Hwibug: ?

[Party] neutaaaa: Are you overdoing things when there are no


circumstances?ㅠㅠ

[Party] neutaaaa: I’m a bit sorry…lol

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: How much did you get?

[Party] neutaaaa: 300 bells

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Wow, pitiful, if it were me, I would have returned it
ㅠㅅㅠ

[Party] neutaaaa: Should I give it back?

[Party] Park Hwibug: No;;

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: It’s really cute.

If you’re going to ship an enemy ship, you’ll have to make it a little


bigger, right? Three hundred bells? When Yeo-woon touched Park
Hwi-bug’s pride, Park Hwi-bug used a higher level money-throwing
skill. Finally, Hwibug Park’s money began to accumulate in
Yeowoon’s account, 10,000 bells at a time.
The effect of bills and cash landing on my head with a jingling sound
was very flashy and dazzling. But for some reason, I feel like my
pride is being undermined.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: But Wheels

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: I’m Park Hwi

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Don’t you die more than Niuta? Haha

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: This is Park Hwi Bug.

At that time, the Earth Star subtly took my side. Earth Star always
takes her side when there are situations where others are pushing
her. Maybe that’s why if you take him with you, he feels quietly
reassuring and helpful.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Wheels or wheels hahaha

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: ㅅㅂ

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Since cockroaches are the ones who use the
buzzer more, shouldn’t they also receive the red line?

[Party] Park Hwi bug: No, it’s Park Hwi bug ㅡㅡ

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: I’m giving up haha


[Party] Park Hwibug: Please give me nickname rights, mangamer;;

[Party] Park Hwibug: And that’s because I recently changed my


equipment set.

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: It’s because the defense is slightly lower;;

Lately, even considering that Park Hwibuglae is a healer, I felt like he


has become more of a water body, but it seems that Park Hwibuglae
has also changed his equipment. Yeowoon was convinced.

When going through high-level dungeons, it was essential to change


equipment according to the characteristics of the dungeon. For
example, in the case of ‘Eurabi Coral Colony’, because it is an
underwater dungeon, it not only causes a speed reduction debuff,
but also reduces the effectiveness of fire attribute skills by more
than 30%. In order to deal with fast-swimming monsters, at least
two pieces of equipment with movement speed options were needed
in the coral colony. It seems that Park Hwi Bug’s defense has
decreased due to the minimum speed option.

[Party] Park Hwibug: No, and we have to compare things to


compare hahaha.

[Party] Park Hwibug: Did you lend equipment to Earth Star and New
a while ago?

[Party] neutaaaa: Wow


The afterglow actually took my breath away. How does he know
that?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh honey haha I told you to keep it a secret haha

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Did you brag to the guild?>_<

[Party] neutaaaa: ㄴㄴ;;

[Party] Park Hwibug: Hahahahaha, all the other guild members know
too.

[Party] neutaaaa: I never mentioned this on Giltalk. How did you


know that?

There is no explanation unless Earth Star was secretly bragging in


his absence. Since the Earth Star had asked us to keep it a secret,
we deliberately kept our mouths shut whenever the story of the
equipment came out. But how on earth did you know?

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: LOL

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahaha no, no matter who sees


it…

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Newta, you have opened the


information now.

“…I?”
[Party] Park Hwibug: Wasn’t it held to show off? Haha

[Party] Halloween branch: Everyone knows that it is Earth-specific


equipment just by looking at it….

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: ㄹㅇ;;;

[Party] neutaaaa: Huh…

I had no idea. Even the guild members knew…. When did you
enable information viewing? Yeowoon quickly opened the options
window and blocked the equipment information option again.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: But has the weakness of each district


been discovered?

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: How do you lend your equipment to


someone else? That’s a full set of options too.

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: ㄹㅇ;

[Party] Park Hwibug: If you don’t need it, sell it to me.

[Party] neutaaaa: Park Hwi is a beggar ㅜㅜ

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: ㅇㄴ


[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Really hahaha I don’t know the
psychology of each district.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: You must have had a lover to know this.

[Party] Park Hwibugae: King is accepted;; We’re not really dating

Not long ago, when the Coral Colony Dungeon had just opened,
Earth Star went to the dungeon before Yeowoon, just in time for the
update to end. Afterwards, as soon as Yeo-woon logged in, he
forcibly lent her equipment that she did not ask for, so Yeo-woon
was currently fully equipped with the equipment that Earth Star had
lent her.

Earth Star lent Yeo-woon equipment and showed off all sorts of
condescending gestures. It’s equipment he never sold even though
people begged him to sell it, and he only lent it to his brother. Earth
Star, who had been lecturing late into the night about how generous
she was, became quiet when Yeowoon gave her a chicken gifticon
as payment for the rental.

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: I exploded the equipment several times trying
to set the minimum options.

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: Newta borrowed something with great defense
and wore it for free.
[Party] Park Hwibug: So it doesn’t make sense to compare Newta
and me ㅡㅡ

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahaha

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m borrowing mine, who cares?

[Party] neutaaaa: That’s right^^

[Party] Park Hwibugae: Ha…I’m jealous

[Party] Park Hwibug: I spent hundreds of millions just to get the


minimum transfer speed and proof of notarization for what I have
nowㅠㅠ

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Egung

Earth Star laughed as she threw coins at Park Hwi Bug three times
in a row.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Add it to the price of the bill haha

Earth Star returned exactly what Park Hwibugae had said to me.
Suddenly, my love for Earth skyrocketed. Yeo-woon felt relieved as
he stood next to Ji-byeol and threw money at Park Hwi-rae.

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: What are you guys doing lol?


[Party] neutaaaa: Helping the underprivileged

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Party] Park Hwi Bug-rae: The two of you are on the same side and
fighting people ㅠㅠ

Park Hwibugae suddenly received hostile treatment and used angry


expressions of emotion. I was fortunate to have Earth on my side.
Yeo-woon decided to take Earth Star with her often in the future.

[Party] Park Hwibug: I didn’t say anything wrong, but only Newta
took my side and said they were a coupleㅡㅡ

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: I hate them both.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: If you’re tired, please make a couple too.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: That’s right, baby>_<

[Party] neutaaaa: That’s right^^ㅋㅋㅋ

[Party] Park Hwibug: It’s okay, don’t tell me….

[Party] Park Hwibug: Both are the same


[Party] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahaha

Now, I have become insensitive to the name ‘Jagi-ya’ that the Earth
Star calls me all the time. I thought it was too strange for a joke, but
as I walked through the city, I saw several other in-game couples
jokingly calling each other nicknames. It seems to be an illusion
tradition.

[Party] Halloween eggplant: I’ll eat quickly and come back, so don’t
catch me first and wait.

[Party] Park Hwi Bug: Gachwigayop~

‘Halloween has left the party.’

‘Halloween has terminated your connection.’

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅂㅂ

‘Park Hwibug has left the party.’

‘Park Hwibugae has terminated the connection.’

While the two disconnected for a moment, Yeowoon stretched and


relaxed his tense shoulder muscles. At that time, a speech bubble
popped up above the head of the Earth.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Finally, there are only two left haha


“…?”

Is this Gilchat?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh ㅅㅂwhat a mistakeㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Couple] neutaaaa: What are you doing hahahaha

It appears that something to be sent to the couple window was sent


to the guild chat by mistake. I knew I would make a mistake
someday.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: What are you talking about?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Not you

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: What is it?

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅡㅡ

[Guild] al0ha: I think I made a mistake in Earth Star’s chat lol.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: He made a mistake and beat me up


ㅡㅡ

[Guild] neutaaaa: Oh, that’s it….

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Bro, why don’t you take my side?


[Couple] neutaaaa: You caused an accident, be quiet.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ;;

Yeo-Woon calmly overlooked Earth Star’s chatting mistake. And


while everyone was away for a moment, I thought carefully about
what my problem was. When I looked back at the video I had just
taken while going through the dungeon, I was able to find something
strange. While other people could survive being hit by a special
move without dying in one hit, he himself died after just one special
move.

Among them, there was only one time when I was able to withstand
a special move after taking a potion that increased my defense,
which meant that my physical strength was so poor that I couldn’t
even withstand a single special move from a boss monster.

But there was still hope. Once you make up for your shortcomings
just a little, you will no longer be knocked out by a single attack.

‘It’s just a little bit short….’

What should I fill this with? There are also limits to doping with
potions with various effects. However, if you touch the skill tree
incorrectly, the balance may be completely disrupted and you may
end up in further trouble.

‘I read the strategy and followed the skill tree exactly, but why am I
the only one like this?’
I wanted to see how other people developed heroes. Yeowoon
grumbled to himself and closed the windows one by one. At that
time, an unfamiliar button caught Yeowoon’s eye.

“…proposal of marriage?”

A button that I had never seen before appeared in the couple status
window with Earth Star. In Illusion’s couple system, I knew that the
marriage proposal button would not appear if the couple had been
dating for a certain period of time or if their affection level was not at
its maximum.

‘The relationship with couple ㅈi9 Byul is ‘Lv.8, only with each other’.’

The maximum level when not married was Lv.8. I didn’t give him any
affection or items, and I didn’t even pay attention to the couple
window, but perhaps because we often went party hunting together,
he had already reached the highest level.

We spent almost every day together, but it’s a bit strange that our
affection isn’t at its maximum. Yeowoon suddenly thought while
looking through the couple buffs according to affection level.

‘Would it be different to receive a buff after the wedding?’

He immediately started looking through the couple’s windows. I was


able to find a solution to the problem of having a bit of physical
strength here.
‘Couples who have completed their wedding receive a 1% increase
in all stats, a 2% damage reduction, and a 2% increase in defense
for each affection level level when party hunting with the couple.’

After you unlock the affection level by holding a wedding, the


maximum affection level increases to level 10. Even if I didn’t have
to take potions with various effects, I felt like I could make up for this
deficiency just by getting married. Yeowoon immediately spoke to
Earth Star.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Byung-ah

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ?

‘I can’t propose yet. Will you marry me? I’m running out of items.’

When I pressed the marriage proposal button, a system message


appeared that said I was running out of items I had never seen
before. Why is the item name like that? What about the wedding?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Will you marry me <- How do I get this?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ㅁㅓ?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: ㄱYou suddenly come.

[Couple] neutaaaa: I searched for ㄱㄷ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: No!!!!! Just don’t sleep


[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Why?? Haha, you won’t need it unless you’re
proposing.

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: But are you getting married?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Do you want to come too?

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: No, you’re doing it with me;;

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[Couple] neutaaaa: They say you get more couple hunting buffs
when you get married.

[Couple] neutaaaa: And I’ve received the wedding buff a few times,
and it’s quite sweet, right?

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: I know;

[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: But my brother asks me to get married at the


entrance of some dungeon…damn

Why is the location of the marriage proposal important? Of course, if


the location was an issue, he was willing to move and propose.
Earth Star, who had expected to say yes of course and ask for a
ceremony right away, took a long pause before speaking.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh, my head hurts…


[Couple] ㅈi9Byul: Hyung, you don’t play any other games other than
Illusion…?

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Well then, I’m glad…

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Don’t go around saying things like this anywhere
ㅡㅡ

[Couple] neutaaaa: If anyone hears it, they’ll think I’m double-


swearing…

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: And honey, we can’t get married yet >_<

Yeowoon, who had not expected to be rejected, blinked and read


what Earth Byul said several times. I didn’t understand. Was it
someone other than Earth who was so shocked when he broke up
his previous relationship that he asked for a new relationship? A guy
who is more serious about the couple system than anyone else
doesn’t want to get married?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Why??

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: He doesn’t even know who I am yet haha.

[Couple] neutaaaa: losing


[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Hahahahahahahahahaha Marriage is between
people who know each other well~

[Couple] neutaaaa: What does that have to do with this?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Overly immersed in games

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Games are also lifeㅡㅡ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Well, I don’t marry someone I don’t know well!

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I don’t think anyone who has met him would
know.

Yeo-woon was trying to appeal about the need for marriage buffs,
but was left speechless by Earth-byeol’s words. It seems like you’ve
been secretly asking to meet up since last time, but why are you so
obsessed with meeting offline?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Oh, can’t you just get married?ㅠㅠ

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Ahn Dae-yong

[Couple] neutaaaa: Whyㅠㅠ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I will do it if you meet me!

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I have a lot of time haha!!


“….”

He had no intention of actually meeting Earth. If it’s not the


weekend, I won’t be able to find time…. But lately, I have someone
to spend the weekend with, so I don’t have time to meet Earth Star.

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㅇㅋ If you change your mind, tell me….

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: If you change your mind, tell me haha.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Well haha I’m handsome haha

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㄷㄷ?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: It’s real><

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Even my brother next door said I was handsome
haha.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Uh;;

I didn’t ask….

Yeo-woon sighed when he saw the marriage proposal button that


was the picture. It seemed like Earth Star had no intention of
accepting my marriage proposal until she met him.
***

Last night, I was beaten to death by the last boss, and the regret of
not being able to obtain the reward was still lingering before my
eyes. I didn’t know why Earth Star didn’t even ask other guild
members to meet, but only forced me to meet. We’re not even
enemies like when we first met, so what are you planning to do with
me when we meet alone?

“Earth.”

“yes?!”

The moment Yoon Ji-gu was about to put a hat on his wet head, he
was startled when his name was suddenly called. He opened his
eyes and blinked them. Were you that surprised…? . Yeowoon
smiled awkwardly and asked vaguely.

“Have you ever met someone you met on the Internet?”

In that short period of time, Yoon Ji-gu’s expression changed very


colorfully. He narrowed his eyes as if wondering what he was saying,
then took a sharp breath. Jigu Yoon walked towards me, trying hard
to hide his shaking gaze. He squeezed my hand and opened his
mouth.

“Brother, I….”
“huh?”

“I don’t meet people through apps.”

“huh? Applications?”

“Why are you asking me that? Do I look like that kind of person?”

“I mean….”

“I don’t know how your brother has been playing so far, but I…. Just
because I like my brother doesn’t mean I like everything, including
things with dicks. This is my first time with my brother. I have never
met anyone else, and I don’t want to meet anyone else.”

“… Uh-huh.”

“So don’t say things like that, because I’m really upset.”

Only then did Yeo-woon realize that there had been a


misunderstanding in what he said. In particular, the nature of the
relationship between Yoon Ji-gu and himself was enough to be
misunderstood. Ji-gu Yoon understood ‘meeting people on the
Internet’ in a different sense.

My heart sank when I saw the eyes filled with strength as if I didn’t
like them. Aren’t you going to cry again like this? Perhaps because
of the memory of crying profusely just once before, Yeo-woon
always became wary of Yoon Ji-gu, as if he might burst into tears at
any moment. Yeowoon looked around to see if anyone heard this
conversation and shook his head vigorously.

“no. No, it’s Earth.”

“….”

“oh my… I didn’t mean that. I was just asking if a friend I met online
had ever asked me to meet him.”

“…yes?”

“Not like the app you think of, but a healthy hobby or something….”

“hobby?”

“Or a guild member you met in the game?”

“…!”

Only then did Ji-gu Yoon realize that he had misunderstood his
words, and his body trembled with his mouth shut. It was only a
matter of time before my ears turned red. I felt a faint tremor in
Yoon Ji-gu’s hand, which was holding mine tightly. Yeowoon asked
with a smile on his face.

“What on earth do you think of me?”


“….”

“Did you really think I was going to ask you that?”

It was very easy to make Yoon Ji-gu blush if you just looked at him.
Even if I didn’t say anything, I could see her blushing somewhere at
least once a day.

“So have you ever met?”

“Uh, none!”

Because of Yoon Ji-gu suddenly raising his voice, the startled


elementary school student who had just climbed out of the water fell
into the water again. When Yeo-woon, who turned his head to the
loud noise, asked if he was okay, the elementary school student put
his thumb up and acted brave.

“But why suddenly? “Who wants to meet you?”

“Don’t worry, he’s a boy.”

Ji-gu Yun snorted at the words he added out of concern that he


might make another mistake and end up digging alone.

“I’m a guy too.”

“…uh?”
“I’m a man too. But you like him.”

“….”

Maybe I should have just asked my friends. It seems like it wasn’t


something I should say to Ji-gu Yoon, who somehow ended up in a
relationship that resembled a flirtatious relationship.

“then…Should we not meet?”

“Oh, no, that’s not it. What does this person do?”

“He said he was a college student. He was someone I had a fight


with while playing a game, but somehow we became friends.”

I omitted the word ‘couple’ just in case.

“He was a little unlucky at first, but he often helps me with my work
and is kind.”

“….”

“It’s kind of cute, too.”

After looking at the tile floor of the swimming pool for a while, I
looked up and saw that Yun Ji-gu’s face was red. …Why is it like
that? I still feel embarrassed that I was mistaken.
“Well… Let’s meet again.”

“Are you okay?”

Since we had already told the story of Earth, there was nothing
more to hide. Perhaps the Earth might feel bad. When Yeo-woon
asked if it was okay to meet him, Ji-gu Yoon’s lips softened.

“Me?”

“Are you not feeling well?”

“… It’s okay to just be friends.”

“okay….”

“….”

For no reason this atmosphere felt awkward. Maybe I shouldn’t have


said it….

“I am…I don’t know. What are you planning to do if you suddenly


meet me?”

“… Eat.”

“You can eat your own food. It’s not like we have to meet each other,
right?”
“Because if we meet, we can become closer, right?”

“We’re already friends?”

“Then let’s meet and see if we have anything to talk about.”

“is it….”

I don’t know if it means seeing other people, but I was reluctant to


meet alone. It seemed a bit awkward, and would Earth Star be so
fussy even if we met in real life? Even though I turned him down and
said I didn’t like it, seeing him fussing several times made me feel
like he was in a bit of a hurry. Even though there is absolutely
nothing urgent to do.

“But it’s Earth.”

“yes?”

“Why didn’t you come to the swimming pool yesterday?”

“….”

Even though I didn’t ask what I should have asked, my face turns
red again.

“You don’t even reply to texts. You were worried.”


“… Oh, it’s nothing!”

He immediately threw himself into the water. If you try to run away
from here, how much damage can you do? . Yeo-woon tilted his
head as he looked at the silhouette of Ji-gu Yoon swimming away.

“Why are you like that?”

This guy and that guy, I really can’t understand their psychology.
Why does the Earth turn red so easily on its own, and what on earth
is the planet Earth thinking when it insists that we meet up with her?

***

Is other people’s lives like this too? I don’t know about that, but my
life is so fucking complicated. When one worry disappears, a bigger
worry arises.

Yun Ji-gu went to the swimming pool entrance and then trudged
back again, repeating this for two days. If Yeo-woon tried to
persuade him to go in with him to take a shower, he felt like he
would turn down on the spot like an idiot.

If that happens, he will be known as a pervert not only at the


swimming pool but also in the community, and he will be forced to
leave. The real pervert is not him, but Lee Yeo-woon. However, I
also had quite a problem with liking such a pervert.

To be honest…okay. I wanted to go to the end with the lingering


feeling. Although I haven’t even mastered the first button yet, I have
already felt the lingering emotion several times in my imagination
and had to be beaten by his hands. The more I learned about his
hobbies, the more detailed the dreams became. Violence is scary.
But I think it might be okay if it lingers. I don’t know what he’s like at
night, but he’s basically a very friendly person. I saw on the Internet
that it is okay to discuss your likes and dislikes in advance.
Whenever I think of dirty things, my heart starts pounding half in
fear and half in anticipation. Yeo-woon will have to admit her feelings
and confess her feelings first, but….

“…?”

When I turned my head to see someone, I made eye contact with


the cat. Less than 30 minutes have passed since we gave them
food and snacks. I felt embarrassed because it felt like yellow eyes
were looking right into me.

“…Ah, what are you looking at?”

The cat, which was standing in front of the wide open door and
looking at itself, blinked for a moment at Ji-gu Yoon’s words, then
turned around and arrogantly walked away. I felt angry because I felt
like I was being treated like a fool even by the cat.

Lee Yeo-woon deserves to be held accountable for the sin that


made her like this.
[Couple] neutaaaa: Byung-ah

[Couple] neutaaaa: Please marry me, please, please, huh? Please


marry me, please, huh?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ;;

Without even knowing how I felt, Yeowoon kept begging me to get


married. My heart felt tight. If I hadn’t argued with him and forced
him to apply for a couple. Yeowoon may have been begging
someone else to marry me. Just thinking about it made my blood
boil.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Because you didn’t get married

[Couple] neutaaaa: I’m melting ㅜㅜ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Then give me the equipment.

[Couple] neutaaaa: ㅈㅅ

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, if you’re that anxious, you can meet me ㅇ
3ㅇ

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I’m helping a low level pod, but if
anyone wants to fill the empty spot, first come first served.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Ah, cat is calling


[Guild] neutaaaa: I’m going!!

[Guild] al0ha: Ah, I’m bored haha me too haha

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Ah, these guys are working hard on


their volunteer work haha.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ㅇㅋㅇㅋ

That guy’s five-letter character is constantly calling out someone


else’s lover. …So, a prospective lover and a game lover. Ji-gu Yoon
immediately whispered to Cat Meow Meow Meow.

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: Cat haha, me too

[Whispering] Kitty cat cat: There are so many people!!

[Whispering] i9 stars: Please force Hana (Aloha) to leave the group


and join me haha

[Whispering] Cat cat cat: ?

[Whispering] Cat Meow Meow Meow: You should have said it


sooner.

[Whisper] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅉㄹㄱ

[Whispering] Cat cat cat: ? Don’t talk to me


While I wasn’t paying attention, Cat Meow Cat became quite
arrogant. Mental education is needed. Ji-gu Yoon looked at the
location indicator in the guild window and warped to the location
where Nyangnyangnyangnyang and Newta were.

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Why did you come, Earth Star?

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: It’s an 8-person pot so there’s no room
for you.

[All] ㅈi9Star: I came to see it >_<

The 8-person party for the low-level dungeon, which was said to be
helped by Cat Meow Meow Meow, consisted of three volunteers
from Poseidon and five beginners.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Byung-ah

[Couple] neutaaaa: Marry me

[All] 9 stars: ;;;;;;;;;

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahaha

Meanwhile, Nyuta, that is, Lee Yeo-woon, is talking about getting


married as soon as he sees her. After rejecting him a few times, he
seems to have developed a habit and says things like that all the
time. Ji-gu Yoon pretended not to have heard those words and
swung his weapon at Cat Meow Meow.
[All] Baybabe: Nyangnaryananyangnyang! I mastered all those
skills!! Let’s go now!

[All] Noeul Cheon: ㅇㅅㅇ;

[All] Cheon No-eul: It’s not a cat, it’s a cat, cat, cat, cat?ㅇㅅ”ㅇ

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: It doesn’t matter, so just call me


whatever you want…

[All] Noeul Cheon: Yes, cat nara cat cat ㅇㅅㅇ

[All] neutaaaa: Meow meow meow meow meow

[All] Chop Jjam Noodles: When will you come in?

[All] Cat cat cat cat: ㅡㅡ;

[All] al0ha: Goyang, let’s go!

Among the five beginners, there was one familiar face. While other
beginners wore several clumsy fashion items to cover up their
hideous armor, looking at the character without any decorations
reminded me of Lee Yeo-woon’s beginner days.

It looks acceptable now, but at the time, the lingering feeling was
such that I really wondered why they were doing that. Still, if I could
go back to that time, I would never bother you this time and I would
be really nice to you!
The eight-person party left them alone and entered the dungeon. He
was resentful of Nyannyangnyangnyang who took Yeo-woon away
while she was talking to him. Because of that, the offer to actually
meet and marry her ended midway through.

‘Why doesn’t Lee Yeo-woon meet me? They say I’m cute and kind.’

When I remembered Yeowoon’s compliment to Earth Star when he


looked at my face, I found myself smiling heartily. I didn’t want to
hide anything from him anymore. I wanted to openly tell him that I
was from Earth and laugh at his embarrassed expression. And I will
let him feel how cruel it was to ask me to marry him.

“…ha.”

But why…My brother doesn’t know his own mind. I’m good-looking,
so they created a character after me. Do you think I don’t know that
your expression changes completely when you look at me? Even if
you hold my hand subtly, you won’t let go and text me good night
every night.

If this isn’t your love for me, what is? What on earth is this?

[Whispering] Noeul Cheon: Do you know where you are now?ㅇㅅㅇ

[Whisper] Gi9 Star: Aquarium Bar 2nd floor

[Whispering] Noeul Cheon: Hahahahahahaha


It seemed that the low-level subjugation party had ended. In order to
prevent Kitty Nyangnyangyang from getting attached to Yeowoon,
he handed over Kitty Nyangnannyang’s position to the beginner who
always stayed by his side without any compensation. Not long after,
Yeo-woon realized my location and came over to me and sat my
character down next to Earth Star’s character. The characters
wearing different colored hanbok to celebrate the New Year were so
cute that I repeatedly pressed the screenshot button.

[Couple] neutaaaa: What’s the difference?

Yeo-woon, who must have thought he was in a submerged state


when he stayed still, jumped up and punched me on the head. Ji-gu
Yoon stood up on the spot and jumped up to answer those words.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Thinking of himself>_<

[Couple] neutaaaa: Geulkun!

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: But when will you finish preparing your heart?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Huh?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Prepare your heart to meet me

Judging by the fact that Yeowoon asked me if I’ve ever met


someone on the Internet, I can tell that he’s currently contemplating
whether or not to meet the ‘Earth Star’. It was definitely true. But
why this slowdown?
[Couple] neutaaaa: What are you planning to do with me?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Marriage? I’ll give you whatever you want haha.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I changed my clothes, would you like
to see it!!

[Couple] neutaaaa: Ah, cat is calling ㅂㅂ

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ㅅㅂ

That damn cat. Ji-gu Yoon hoped that only misfortune would lie
ahead for Cat Meow Meow Meow Meow.

[Whispering] ㅈi9 Byul: Nyangnyang, please call someone quickly.

[Whispering] Cat cat cat: ? I never called you

[Whispering] Cat cat: Don’t come.

Life is really hard. There were too many obstacles to overcome


before Lee Yeo-woon and I could become the most special person
to each other. The person who wanted to meet him also had great
hesitation, but there was also a wicked obstructionist. Moreover, Lee
Yeo-woon didn’t seem to know what her feelings were toward Yun Ji-
gu. It’s so blatant that even he himself notices that he likes someone
for the first time in his life.

“…no.”
Let’s not rush. Anyway, Yeowoon Lee is in the palm of my hand. If I
fall, I live just a stone’s throw away. There’s still plenty of time, and it
won’t be long before Yeowoon confesses to him.

I’m sure it will. It has to be that way.

Ji-gu Yoon’s legs were shaking as he ran the happy circuit in his
head.

***

Let’s go, the two of us. What the heck, throw it away.

“Chief.”

“…!”

Yeowoon, who had been mindlessly humming a random song to


herself, mumbling the lyrics she didn’t know, was startled by a voice
calling her and turned around. Behind Yeowoon, everyone in the
office was looking at him. …What is it, group? Yeowoon blinked in
embarrassment and made a stupid sound.

“Neeh?”
“We’re going to a cafe. Manager, would you like to have something
to eat?”

“Oh, no. I’m okay with the assistant manager bringing me coffee.”

“Don’t you eat bread or anything? You didn’t even eat lunch….”

“Chief Lee said he completely pretended. They said I couldn’t eat


that kind of thing. yes?”

Assistant Manager Kim pretended to know and gave Yeo Woon a


meaningful look. The smug look in his eyes was strangely unlucky,
as if he was thanking me for speaking for him. That damn idiot….
Yeowoon nodded out of courtesy.

…But why is that person going with me? It was definitely Assistant
Manager Kim who bought me coffee. I saw that you also brought
your own cup of coffee, so why are you going to the cafe again?
Yeowoon looked at Assistant Manager Kim with narrowed eyes and
smiled. Assistant Manager Kim smiled bigger at Yeo-woon, who
seemed touched by his kindness.

“Aha, yes! “Then we’ll just go by ourselves!”

“Good job Chief Lee. Oh my, it’s hot!”

“The air conditioner will be fixed soon when I get back, right?”

“Shh, shh…!”
That was it.

“…yes. Bye.”

It was hot, so they said they would stay out of the office while the air
conditioner was fixed. Their intentions were as clear as water, but
everyone was sweating profusely with such bright expressions that
there was nothing more to say. The office workers lined up and took
refuge in an air-conditioned cafe, leaving Yeoun alone.

“….”

Holy shit!

Yeowoon feigned calm and barely swallowed the curses that rose up
to the tip of his chin. All of these people except themselves went to a
cafe for a summer getaway. It was already hot and humid in the
office where the air conditioner was broken, and I felt aggrieved for
no reason.

After a while, the air conditioner, which made a beeping sound and
did not work even when the remote control was operated, was
quickly fixed when the repairman did something. The repair
technician explained in detail which part of the air conditioner was
the problem, but it was so hot that I couldn’t actually hear anything
he said. Even if I heard it correctly, I would have forgotten it quickly
anyway. Even after sending the repairman, Yeowoon stood
helplessly in front of the air conditioner for a while, drying his sweat.

I hate summer so much. I wish the evil summer would disappear


and only three seasons would remain.
Anywhere is really good, so it seemed like I would have no wish to
rest for a while. I really wanted to get out of Seoul this year, perhaps
because I couldn’t have a proper vacation last year either.

“Should I go to the beach on a day trip? .”

Yeowoon muttered while looking at the calendar hanging on the wall.


And in my head, I thought of waves crashing under the bright
sunlight. How cool and good would it feel to walk on the sand of a
white beach and feel the waves lapping at your ankles? You should
rent a large tube and go swimming in the ocean. And in the evening,
you will sit on the outdoor restaurant terrace overlooking the sea and
watch the sun disappear beyond the horizon. When you return to
your accommodation, shaking the sand off your feet….

“…uh?”

In an instant, my imagination was shattered, and at the same time,


Yeowoon’s eyes shook. In my imagination, the person next to me as
I walked along the beach was not my close friends or my sister who
cruelly ignored my contacts 9 times out of 10, but actually Yoon Ji-
gu. Yeo-woon shook her head slightly, unable to hide her
embarrassment at the identity of the man who so naturally entered
her imagination.

It’s not that I don’t like going on a trip with Ji-gu Yoon. No, rather….
…Even though…Traveling alone with him is still a bit….

“….”
Yeowoon looked at the calendar and frowned. The more I got to
know Yun Ji-gu, the more strange he was.

***

It’s not like there hasn’t been any progress in the relationship for half
a year. Yeo-woon always cleared his schedule on weekends to
spend time with Yoon Ji-gu. We chatted about trivial things all day
from the morning, and in the evening, we put on a random movie
and talked again as if we had made an appointment.

One day, I just closed my eyes because the movie wasn’t as


interesting as I thought. Ji-gu Yoon noticed and came towards me
and asked in a voice that even ants couldn’t hear, ‘Are you
sleeping?’ He asked, and kissed my lips while making a soft sound.

There’s no way I wasn’t surprised. Of course I’m surprised. I’m not


even sleeping, but you suddenly kiss me…. However, he was so
dumbfounded that he opened his eyes and stayed still to see what
was going on, but it seems that Ji-gu Yun mistakenly thought he was
sleeping. He kissed her lips, cheeks, around her eyes, and all over
her face for a long time, then pretended not to care and sat down
next to her again. And he didn’t do anything until I opened my eyes,
just gently placed his large hand on top of mine.

From that day on, Ji-gu Yoon started looking for strange
documentaries such as The Mystery of the Sea Cucumber, The
Hunting Method of Emperor Penguins, and the Life of a Killer Whale.
I wondered what the standard was, but when I looked into it later, I
found out that the voice actor who narrated the movie was the same
as the movie I had watched and closed my eyes because it wasn’t
fun. He must have thought that a movie like this would help him
sleep again. The intention was really obvious.

Yeo-woon closed his eyes, pretending that he couldn’t help but


watch halfway through the documentary that Ji-gu Yoon came to
every week. Ji-gu Yoon said that whenever I closed my eyes, he
would approach me and sneak away again. When I was awake, I
would tremble just by holding my hand, and I felt like I was doing all
kinds of things just because I was sleeping. But I didn’t hate him like
that. Even though I thought he was cute in his own way, I also felt
like I was becoming strange like Yoon Ji-gu.

Yeo-woon was afraid that if he said that he knew everything, he


would get scared and run away like a turtle hiding in its shell, so he
pretended that he knew nothing.

But that was it. All he said was that it was a gentle kiss that didn’t
wake him up, without even pretending not to notice or pushing his
tongue in. It seems like he was a little disappointed with such
tantalizing skinship. Today, when I think about what I was secretly
looking forward to.

From that day on, Yeowoon began to think that it wouldn’t be a bad
idea to meet Earth once. It’s good to be cautious, but I wonder if the
child is too hot to be like this. Moreover, there is zero resistance to
skinship with him. I was also surprised when I thought it would be
good to go further than this. When I was laughing and talking about
trivial things with Ji-gu Yun, our eyes met, and my heart started
tickling as if I had just swallowed a whole bunch of dandelion seeds.
Yun Ji-gu also seemed to have noticed the change in me, and at
some point, he started not asking when he was going to finish
thinking. Instead….

“…brother.”

“uh?”

“….”

“Huh?”

It’s been a few months since we went to the swimming pool


together, but Jigu Yoon has never taken off her swimsuit in front of
me. However, a couple of months ago, he suddenly appeared in
front of me with a determined look, as if he had gained courage.
With a white towel wrapped around his waist. He looked around,
took notice, and with a blush on his face, he lifted the towel he had
draped around his waist.

“Uh, how do you feel?”

“….”

To be honest, all I could think of at that time was that Yoon Ji-gu
really seemed like a pervert. He suddenly came in front of me and
exposed his naked body and asked me what was wrong…? And
when I looked down even further, I couldn’t say anything. just…It
was huge. It was a moment when the words of an elementary
school student who had been whispering in my ear every day, calling
Ji-gu Yoon “Big Brother” were proven.

It’s strange that you can’t just applaud someone because they’re
truly amazing, and they keep staring at you and evaluating you down
to the nanoscale. What are you telling me to do?

Yeo-woon had nothing to say, so he just opened his mouth, and Ji-
gu Yoon started to complain, asking why he lost his appetite. There
was no use in Yeo-woon feeling unfair because he had never been
like that before. He went to the shower room furthest from me and
slumped his shoulders as he was bathed in cold water. An
elementary school student who was standing nearby was hit with
cold water and was so startled that he ran away. Yeowoon was
confused as she struggled to take her eyes off him.

The road home with him in an awkward atmosphere was particularly


pretty. The red-stained sky was like the back of Yun Ji-gu’s neck,
and the road with puddles of water from the rain the day before
looked funny and special. The reason why I felt special in a street
that was no different from yesterday was probably because I had
made a decision.

“Brother, why didn’t you say anything earlier?”

“huh? what? Sorry, I was thinking about it for a moment….”

“When you see me everyday… What are you thinking, brother?”

Yeo-woon raised his head at those words and made eye contact with
Yun Ji-gu.
“… What are you thinking?”

Yeowoon tilted his head. I’m not sure what I was thinking, but…. The
thoughts I have now are clear. I wanted to say that I wanted to hold
your hand without worrying about how many people looked at me.
When the green traffic light starts blinking, people start walking
quickly. Yeo-woon took advantage of that opportunity and grabbed
Yoon Ji-gu’s hand and ran. And when I got to the other side of the
sidewalk, I let go. Yun Ji-gu had an unusually low body temperature.
When you hold hands, a cool sensation moves to your palms,
making you feel better.

As you enter the alley, the streetlights that have gone out start
blinking. Far from being romantic, it’s an overly everyday scene….

“I want to ask you something.”

Jigu Yoon asked with his ears turning bright red. I also had
something to say. I’m not sure yet, but I don’t think I’ll regret my
decision.

I don’t know if it’s okay to say this in this situation, but Earth. I think I
like you too.

…I tried to say. It was true.

“You don’t feel anything when you look at my body?”

“… What?”
“Looking at your appetite, I don’t think that’s the case.”

“When did I lose my appetite… .”

“Then tell me. Does my body have no sexual appeal to you?”

“…what?”

“Don’t you think so? “I want to tie you up or hit you.”

At that moment, Yeowoon forgot everything he wanted to say. What


are you tying? What are you hitting…?

“… Cough.”

“Why do you look at me like that? “I asked because I was curious.”

He grumbled in a grumpy tone. It seemed like strange words were


coming out of the mouth of Ji-gu Yoon, who thought that skinship
was all about kissing and holding hands. I couldn’t believe it. I didn’t
want to believe it.

“At first, you always looked at me like I was a pervert. I’ve changed.”

Yeo-woon tried to deny it, but closed his mouth. Certainly, when I
think about it again now, the actions I did at first because I was
obsessed with the idea of becoming friends with Ji-gu Yoon may
have been burdensome to Ji-gu Yoon.
“Is my body not that good?”

“uh?”

“…Fuck, have I really gained weight…?”

“uh? at all. It’s nice to see it right now.”

“…Nice to see…?”

“then.”

“Do you feel bad when you see me?”

“….”

“I wasn’t going to say this, but I really feel sorry for you. You know
what?”

surely…Yes, it seemed. No, maybe the secret kissing was due to


frustration. Yeo-woon looked up at Yun Ji-gu with a serious face.
Since I had nothing prepared right now, it was very difficult to say
anything. Jigu Yoon apologized to me in a sighing voice as I was left
speechless.

“…sorry. I didn’t mean to burden you.”

“no. I am….”
“… Cough.”

“Hmm….”

The atmosphere became even more awkward than before. Yeo-


woon glanced at Yun Ji-gu, who couldn’t keep his hands still. He
turned his head distractedly, deliberately waved his arms, and
walked quickly. He had been ahead for a while, but then he looked
back and stopped. Ji-gu Yoon waited for Yeo-woon to catch up with
him.

“… I’m talking about chastity before marriage.”

After a long pause, he suddenly spoke. It’s been a long time since I
heard this word, so for a moment, I was in a daze, thinking, “What is
chastity before marriage?”

“Were you religious?”

“religion? I have a father, but….”

“What?”

“Oh, that’s not the important thing, I just mean I won’t do anything
like that until I start dating you.”

Yeowoon tried to control his expression so as not to make a strange


expression. Until now, I’ve been wondering how my body is, whether
I’ve lost my appetite, what about tying it up…. …For a subject who
made such perverted remarks, his values were very pure and
upright.

“I take responsibility for what comes into my hands. I will never let
you go.”

“….”

“therefore… Brother, don’t stab me half-heartedly.”

Yun Ji-gu’s expression was very serious. I meant it wasn’t a joke. I


was going to tell Ji-gu Yoon that I think I’ve started to like you too.
Behind those words was the meaning that it was okay to do more
than kiss Yun Ji-gu.

“I’m done with my resolve. It’s okay to get hit by my brother.”

But if the act is like this, it’s a different story.

“brother?”

I already found the answer, as I thought it was adorable to talk about


my values and thoughts with a very serious face and then fuss when
I didn’t get an answer. Yeowoon looked at the face with his eyebrows
furrowed as if he was anxious, then lifted his hand and gently
pressed the wrinkled forehead to straighten his expression.

“okay.”
“What does that mean?”

“It just means I knew.”

“… What do you mean?”

Just as I’ve finally realized that I can be with men, who knows,
maybe I have just a little bit of that same taste latent in me?

“me too…I’m not sure right now. Let’s match each other little by
little.”

“…Really?”

Ji-gu Yoon took a deep breath as if he had heard her ask him out
right away, then nodded, his cheeks turning peach-colored. And
from that day on, Ji-gu Yoon began to appeal his tastes to Yeo-woon
at any time.

Hitting is okay, but bleeding is scary. I’m not sure about pain
because I haven’t tried it yet. I will guess. Role play doesn’t matter.
You can fit anything….

“….”

To be honest, I don’t really know what Ji-gu Yoon is talking about.


Although it seemed a bit perverted, I didn’t think the act of finding
out what we didn’t know about each other and getting along was not
that bad.
…It was like that back then.

“You have to do that to a certain extent….”

From that day on, Ji-gu Yoon repeatedly expressed his interests,
and each time Yeo-woon postponed what he had to say because of
the difference between his image and the image I had in mind. To be
honest…I really didn’t want to do it! It’s not like I didn’t look for it. It’s
just that neither the one who got hit nor the one who got hit really
felt like it. However, because Yoon Ji-gu was so excited, he missed
the moment to say that this was not right.

Given the circumstances, Ji-gu Yoon seemed to already think that


she would play SM with him and that she would definitely do it. It
would have been better if they hadn’t said bullshit about trying to
figure it out from the beginning. I’m in a situation where I can’t do
this or that because I’m caught up in the words I said.

If you are exposed to cold wind for a long time, your head will hurt.
As soon as the air felt somewhat cool, Yeowoon trudged back to his
seat and sat down. The air conditioner repairman left him alone and
everyone else left, leaving only a lingering feeling in the empty office.

“… Ugh.”

I wonder what on earth I saw and why I developed such a hobby.


What should I do with him…. Should I just close my eyes and hit
myself today? If you see it right, your thoughts might change.

‘Ah, but if you hit me hard as soon as I see your face, doesn’t that
make you cry?’
No matter how much of a hobby you have, it’s not a game you play
to set the mood…. No one likes being hit for no reason in everyday
life.

Yeowoon turned his chair left and right, thinking about a long-
standing worry that had been going on for several months, and
finally checked the message that had arrived in the chat room
overlaid on the Excel screen at 50% opacity.

Driver, I’ll come back and fix the air conditioner!

account

Brother, you remember the bet you made with me, right?

“…?”

Yeowoon adjusted his posture and opened his eyes wide. My heart
sank for a moment at the word bet. Before, I had never even
thought about betting out of joy over the arrival of the repairman.
The worries about Yoon Ji-gu disappeared in an instant, and their
place was filled with the details of the bet with Earth Star.

“…ruined.”

Yeowoon muttered in confusion. He had to take responsibility for


what happened because of his rash judgment. Under the ‘Business
Partner’ speech bubble, six cat emoticons, begging for answers,
arrived in succession.
The circumstances of the case were as follows. About half a year
ago, the Earth Star began to sing a song asking us to meet each
other. His originally stubborn personality grew more severe as the
days went by, and eventually he started harassing himself
persistently even when he was playing games with his voice
connected. When Yeo-woon talks back, he makes a fuss, pretends
not to hear me and runs away to another channel, and he always
follows and annoys me.

At first, I said, ‘Later.’ or ‘I’ll think about it some more.’ I think I could
have just glossed over it and said I would understand if I answered,
but as time went by, that method didn’t work. So Yeo-woon came up
with an innovative method.

bet. That was a card that Earth Star, with its strong desire to win,
would never avoid.

Yeo-woon has always avoided danger by proposing unfavorable bets


to Earth Star and offering to grant her wish if she wins the bet.

The win rate is 99%. Yeowoon only bet on things where the outcome
was already determined. Earth Star always attacked even though
they knew they were at a disadvantage, and in return for losing, they
were sentenced to ‘banned from chatting for an hour’ or ‘disarmed
all movement speed increase items and ran through dungeons
together all day’. In particular, in the latter case, the stakes were
always fierce because Earth Star complained of considerable
distress. It would have been harder for the Earth Star to win the bet
with Yeowoon than for a baseball team that had not held the
championship cup in nine years to rise to first place in one go.
This was also the case. The air conditioner repairman said he
wouldn’t have time this week because he was busy visiting the
apartment complex, but he suddenly showed up today. I was so
happy to see him that I completely forgot that I had made a bet and
even told Earth that a repairman had appeared….

I said that one day it will be like this hahaha.

Jonber wins!>_<

Because even if it’s a bad bet for me

account

I’ll just hold on until I win.

I didn’t want to see the excited Earth Star because it was so ugly.
The bet is at a disadvantage? So what. However, he also used
marriage as a weapon and threatened me in the same way.

There is no answer haha

Baby please reply??????

Just one dot.

Are you sane? If it were you, would you reply?

If you reply within 3 seconds, I will marry you.

Yeowoon immediately typed a random letter and pressed the Enter
key before Earthstar could stop him. Earth Star immediately
responded to my speech bubble by sending an emoticon of a
laughing cat holding its stomach and pounding the floor.

LOL

Haha what are you doing now?><

account

Well, it’s not time to work yet.

Really

account

If you lie, I won’t marry you.


sorry;;;;

As much as Yeowoon unilaterally took control of the bet with Earth


Star, Earth Star did the same. He has been threatening himself for
six months using marriage as a weapon. If I had broken my bond
with Earth at that time and saved someone else, I would have gotten
married long ago.

Of course, Earth Star would not have sat idly by and watched as she
went out in search of someone else. In fact, the secondary
character of Cat Meow Me Me Me Got Married to the Guild Master
before me. All I do is eat and play games on empty days. I couldn’t
figure out why the progress was so fast for the youngest subject in
the guild. Yeowoon was overcome with jealousy for an unknown
reason and glared at the monitor.

account

Don’t you ask me what my wish is?

“….”

It was obvious what his wish was.

“He’ll ask to meet you….”

account

Come visit my house this week>_<


bingo.

account

There are cats too!!

What’s the use of a cat that hasn’t even been photographed for over
half a year?

account

Do you want to come today??

I know where it is and I can meet you today. Yeo-woon smiled


helplessly as he looked at Earth Star, who was talking as if she lived
just a stone’s throw away.

I was excited about the distinction^^

account

Haha, he looks angry.

“… It’s a bit annoying if you know.”

Are you going to make fun of me like this when you actually see my
face? I wanted to smack my head. No, aren’t we really going to
meet like this before then? Yeowoon started to feel scared because
of the current affairs program he watched last week. The story was
that there are people who lure people through social media and build
friendships, but then actually show their malicious intent and do
nasty things offline. It would be something that the average person
would never experience in their lifetime, but it actually happened and
was shown on TV.

Byung-ah, I have something to confess….

account

Confession is done face to face><

Will you listen seriously?

The planet Earth must have realized that my words were no joke, so
it responded after a short interval.

My eyesight is -5 on both sides, so I can’t see anything.

Oh, I feel nauseous and I’m on the verge of death, but it’s okay. I

After all, indirect experience is also experience.

Hahahahahahahahaha

Did it work?

account
Bullshit

Fuck.

account

Let’s find out when the date is right>< I’m going to go today too!!

It is impossible to escape this cycle unless you quit the game


altogether. A promise is a promise, so I had no choice but to give
up. Of course, before meeting Earth Star, I planned to send a text
message to my friends saying, ‘If I don’t contact you tomorrow, I’ve
been robbed, so please report me.’

Distinction is an idiot

He told me to come visit but didn’t even tell me the address.

account

Ah, I told you to let me know right before the appointment time.

You have to know the distance to go there, right?

account

Looks like he’s really coming haha


account

What should I do? I’m nervousㅠㅠ

Come ㅡㅡ

Yeowoon sent an emoticon of a duck character throwing his phone


at the screen. I sent it full of my irritated feelings, and I sincerely
hoped that these feelings would be conveyed to Earth as well.

account

But if he finds out my address, he’ll be shocked. Take care!

Don’t worry, I’m not surprised that you live in the Blue House….

account

What if I’m surprised?

I can’t help it….

account

Oh no

account
So are you coming today?

If you listen to what they say sometimes, it’s clear that they live in
the same area, but it’s a bit…. Yeowoon started looking at his phone
calendar and choosing a day.

“…!”

At that time, the phone screen turned dark. It was a call from Ji-gu
Yoon. My head hurt, but I thought it was okay. As soon as he
answered the phone by sliding his finger across the screen, Ji-gu
Yoon cleared his throat and said, “It’s loud.”

-W, hello?

“Yes, Earth. What are you doing?”

-I’m going to eat now. What about you? Did you eat lunch?

Yoon Ji-gu’s voice seems strangely excited today. Well, is there


anything good happening at home?

“No lunch yet. I don’t feel very well.”

-…yes? Why are you inside? Why are you inside? .

“I’m just a little nauseous. Are you going to catch a cold?”


-…Are you feeling nauseous?

“Oh, don’t worry. It’s often like this in the summer.”

-Don’t you feel like you’re going to die?

“Why am I dying?”

I was worried too much. Yeowoon muttered in a voice mixed with


laughter, then turned his head and coughed slightly because his
throat was sore.

-If it hurts a lot, should I go pick you up?

“Don’t worry, it’s really not that bad.”

-…Now that I think about it, my voice is a little different.

“huh. I’m sure I have a cold, so I don’t think I can go swimming


today. …Ji-gu, if it’s okay with you, would you like to see your face
later in the evening?”

-Uhm, okay. I’ll text you on the way after swimming in the evening.

My head, which had been pounding for no reason, suddenly calmed


down. Jigu Yoon didn’t usually make a lot of phone calls. About a
couple times a month? In any case, we often talked face to face,
and at night, Ji-gu Yoon tended to refuse phone calls, saying that his
voice was muffled and he did not want to be heard. A man who
won’t meet you unless you wash up and won’t even talk to you on
the phone if your voice subsides in the morning or at night. I thought
it was really expensive.

But today, when I wondered why all the calls came during lunch
hour, there wasn’t much to hear. It appears that it was not a phone
call with a specific purpose. Still, listening to Yun Ji-gu’s voice made
my headache feel better, the sky outside the window suddenly
looked clear, and a smile spread across my face. There is no
panacea.

Perhaps Yoon Ji-gu suddenly wanted to hear my voice and called


me? In that case, it was okay if there was no special purpose for the
call. I felt like I wanted to go home quickly.

-brother.

“huh?”

-…Do not get sick.

After saying those last words, Jigu Yoon hung up the phone. The call
ended with a bang, so I looked at my phone and saw that the call
time was over 10 minutes. It doesn’t seem like even five minutes
have passed.

Tiring!

“…?”
The planet Earth, which I had forgotten about, sent me a message.

account

Well, now that I think about it, I can’t do it today.

account

Something happened>ㅅ<ㅋㅋ

Something happens to the planet Earth too. Something didn’t feel


real. The Earth Star, which existed only as a character smaller than
a finger, actually exists as a person with its own job. It would be
even stranger if we met in person. I was already scared. I was
confident that I would be able to talk well when I met him, but it
seemed like it would take a lot of time to match the person himself
and the character of the Earth.

I can’t go today anyway

account

How are you this Saturday?

I have a prior appointment on Saturday….

account
Oh, but I guess it’s only Saturday.

“…?”

Didn’t I say earlier that I had a lot of time?

account

Ask that person hahaha Can’t you cancel the promise!!

I can’t do it, I’m upset ㅜ

account

I already get upset easily, so why did I break my promise ;;

account

Haha, who is the one who gets upset? I don’t think it’s something
haha

account

Does he come before his lover (me)?


When I talk to other people and the topic of Yoon Ji-gu comes up, I
can’t even think of something to gloss over. First of all, Yoon Ji-gu’s
lover is…No.

Not yet.

account

Anyway, let me know when it comes on Saturday.

ㅇㅇI’ll ask first.

It probably won’t work, but….

First of all, it was obvious that even though he said it was okay
verbally, he would show with his eyes that it was not okay. He will
give me pitiful eyes and fill me with guilt. That was Ji-gu Yoon.

account

brother

account

What exactly did you say about your blood type?ㅇㅅㅇ


account

Hahahahahahahahaha

account

Oh, take care of your health ㅡㅡ Don’t catch a cold or something


that will delay your appointment again.

“….”

Yeowoon’s shoulders trembled. You must be kidding, right? It’s


clearly a question of how you’re doing, but why does it sound
creepy?

***

I wish the Earth would perish. Then I wouldn’t have to go to work.


Yeo-woon, who had suddenly decided to work overtime 30 minutes
before the end of the day and whose anger gauge reached
maximum, muttered to himself as he trudged along.

On my walk home from work, a store that had been under


construction all along the hill opened. The white interior with purple
and pink accents looked cute, so I passed by this place without
thinking, assuming it was a cafe. But today, I saw a small neon sign
posted in the shop window. As the surroundings were dark, the
purple neon sign was more visible.

‘ADULT ONLY♥’

Yeowoon’s steps stopped. These days, it seems like the trend in


adult product shops is to make them prettier than most cafes. A
man and woman with their arms around each other were walking
down the street, whispering to each other, then opened the door and
entered as if they were possessed. Yeowoon just looked at the sign
blankly and unconsciously followed them into the store.

“welcome!”

“….”

Yeowoon smiled awkwardly and nodded when the cheerful female


employee greeted him. I thought that people who came alone to this
place would mistake me for a dog pervert, but surprisingly, there
were quite a few customers who came alone in the store, and there
was also a strong-hearted person who laughed and laughed when
he saw the employee holding an obscenely large tool and explaining
it to him.

‘Where is it?’

Yeowoon looked around and took a step forward. As I passed the


pillar that was blocking my view, the items Yeowoon was looking for
came into view. Starting with a stick that looked like a billiard cue, as
well as an eye patch to cover the eyes, the red rope that had only
been seen in the video was displayed very proudly. It was only
natural that it was an adult goods store.

“Sir, is there anything you are looking for?”

The employee who had provided a very satisfying shopping


experience to the female customer who had been with Yeo-woon
since she entered the store moved to Yeo-woon. It was natural that
the people working here knew better than I, who knew nothing. It
was embarrassing, but I needed help.

“My lover….”

“Are you looking for a gift for your lover?”

“… I think you’re curious about what’s right.”

Yeowoon lowered his voice to a whisper for no reason. To be honest,


they were still vaguely lovers, but there seemed no need to explain it
in detail. These days, no, for several months now, every time I say
something, Ji-gu Yun seems to be in a state of considerable
frustration, as he turns his words in that direction. However, while he
spouts bullshit whenever he gets the chance, he also says that he
doesn’t know my likes or dislikes yet.

When Yoon Ji-gu shared with the staff that he did not like bloodshed
and that he did not like being in too much pain, he shook his mouth
with a kind face. There was no sign that he was embarrassed about
talking about sexual things, and the lingering feeling of peace
became at peace when he asked whether restraints or insertion
devices were necessary. This place is like this….
When Yeowoon came to his senses, he found himself standing in
front of the store, holding a shopping bag with a small beginner’s
paddle in his hand. I came in today out of curiosity, and I was just
planning to look around, but I ended up making an impulse
purchase. Why does time go so fast? 30 minutes passed by just by
looking at it.

“….”

Did you buy it for no reason? I was wondering if I should get a


refund now, so I looked inside the envelope and saw that it was a
free gift and that they had given me a lot of various things. When I
saw the condom rustling inside the bag, I got scared.

“…Well, I should just go home.”

Refunds are annoying…. Cold sweat broke out. I don’t know when I
will use this, but if I buy it, I will probably use it as a rice scoop
someday.

Ji-gu Yoon

Aren’t you going swimming?

Yeo-woon belatedly checked the message that had arrived from Ji-
gu Yoon. It was a text message that arrived a few hours ago, but the
bar at the top was so dirty that it seemed like I didn’t check it
because I deleted it all at once. There were a few more sentences
below the question of not coming to the swimming pool.
Ji-gu Yoon

Bro, are you busy?

Ji-gu Yoon

I have a lot of macarons left today.

Ji-gu Yoon

If you’re still out, I’ll stop by a cafe later when I come home.

Ji-gu Yoon

I’ll be there until ten o’clock

Ji-gu Yoon

Come see me….

Ji-gu Yoon

(emoticon)

It was an emoticon of a tabby cat fighting with enthusiasm. I thought


I had seen it somewhere, but it looked like an emoticon used by the
Earth.
“cute….”

I wonder if it was already wrapped, I didn’t know when she wrote it,
but it looked really cute when Yoon Ji-gu used it. Even the letters
‘Aja Aja’ written on both sides of the cat’s head looked cute. No, is it
just that Yoon Ji-gu is cute? Yeowoon pressed the stopped emoticon
several times to make it move and sent a reply with a satisfied face.

(emoticon)

It was an emoticon of a white duck giving an ok sign with its fingers


curled. It wasn’t far from here to home anyway, so there was no
need to call and just go into the cafe and find Yun Ji-gu.

Besides that, there were many chats that I had not yet checked. As
always, the guild chat was half nonsense, so I thought I’d watch it
later, and I read and chewed on my friends’ messages. and….

account

I’m just asking just in case.

account

You didn’t forget that we were meeting tomorrow, right?

“…!”

Unbelievable!
I had completely forgotten.

Haha that can’t be happening haha

If Earth Star hadn’t told me now, I would have really prepared in a


hurry tomorrow. I haven’t even decided where to meet yet. Yeowoon
tried to pretend not to say anything and thought about it. What do
you say to Earth?

account

From the way you talk, it seems like you forgot a hundred percent.
Am I right? ㅇ_<

Not haha

account

Haha I love it~

“….”

What kind of courage does he have to act like this until the day
before we meet? If I meet you tomorrow, I will crush half of the
planet Earth’s head.

“oh.”
As I stood in front of the crosswalk waiting for the light to change, I
felt water droplets falling on my head. When I raised my head and
looked up at the sky, raindrops fell on Yeowoon’s cheek.

“… Without warning.”

I don’t have an umbrella, but it suddenly rains…. Yeowoon hurriedly


hid himself under a tree. The rain, which had been falling drop by
drop, has now started to fall in such a way that it can be seen with
the naked eye. A man talking on the phone in a loud voice next to
me said, “Oh, fuck. It’s raining!” And he shouted loudly.

Distinction

account

what

What time and where shall we meet tomorrow?

People put their bags on their heads and started running at a brisk
pace. The traffic light color has changed. Yeowoon walked among
the people. And about halfway through, I lightly bumped into
someone’s shoulder who was walking quickly while looking at their
phone.

“ah…!”

I almost dropped the adult toy I just bought, but I managed to catch
it. The man looked at Yeo-woon with displeasure, then walked past
her without apologizing and headed to the bus stop. Rather than
being annoyed at the man, I walked faster because I was dizzy from
the experience of almost spilling out a bag full of condoms in the
middle of a crosswalk.

account

If I tell you now where to meet, haha.

account

Brother, I’m fainting haha.

I even fainted. I wondered where on earth he lived to be so


confident. I had some idea that he was rich since he spent a lot of
money, but I might have been the child of a family with more money
than I thought. Or is it a celebrity?

“…It’s not that surprising….”

I’ve caught the wind to this extent, but it’s not really a big deal. I
wonder how disappointed the planet Earth will be if I react sourly. I
wondered if I should at least pretend to be surprised when I meet
the Earth Star tomorrow.

Shoot! The rain suddenly became heavier. My house is right around


the corner, but now I can’t even buy an umbrella. Yeowoon ducked
under a nearby store and picked up the wet clothes that were
sticking to his body with his fingers and pulled them off. My body
was so wet. In the morning, I clearly heard the weather forecast say,
‘It will be sunny today,’ but to see such a sudden shower.

account

Oh, is it raining?? It doesn’t work

It seems that it rains even where the planet Earth is. Did you hang
the laundry outside?

Is it raining there too?

account

Do you have an umbrella?

“…?”

Why does Earth ask that? Yeowoon felt something strange and tilted
his head.

no?

account

Don’t get caught in the rain, use an umbrella

I have a lot of umbrellas at home haha.


In this way, there are four umbrellas gathered at home. Some were
even lost outside, but it was said that there were four left. Besides,
my house was right around the corner, so I couldn’t wait here for the
rain to stop.

Yeo-woon deliberately decided to take a slightly different route than


usual to avoid the rain. The big road right in front is always crowded,
but this alley is always very sparsely populated, perhaps because it
is a residential area. Earth’s mother is amazing for opening a cafe in
a place like this, but surprisingly, there wasn’t a single day without
customers in that cafe.

account

ah

account

I suddenly feel nervous >_<ㅋㅋ

account

What should I wear tomorrow?

raincoat

I gave an insincere answer and turned the corner. I saw a brightly lit
cafe ahead.
“uh?”

This is Yoon Ji-gu. In front of the cafe, Yoon Ji-gu was crouching
down, intermittently looking in the direction opposite to the direction
Yeo-woon was walking. Normally, Yeowoon would have been walking
from that direction.

‘Are you waiting for me?’

Seeing that he was holding his phone tightly in his hand, it seemed
like he was waiting for a call from me. Yeo-woon, who was about to
acknowledge his name, lowered his half-raised hand again.
Playfulness arose.

‘I have to secretly surprise him from behind.’

He started walking quietly, hiding his presence. As the black side of


the head got closer and closer, my heart pounded for fear of being
caught sneaking up on him.

account

Is it raining a lot?

account

Did you buy an umbrella?


When she did not reply, Earth Star posted a series of emoticons of a
cat complaining of a reply. It’s on silent mode so I don’t really care.
Before I knew it, Ji-gu Yoon was getting closer. Yeowoon crept up
behind him, holding the phone in his hand.

‘Are you playing a game?’

Ji-gu Yoon was tapping the screen with one finger. He was so
caught up in the game that he didn’t even notice that someone was
approaching him from behind. As I was about to lunge at his
shoulder from behind, his cell phone screen caught my eye.

“….”

He was sending the other person several cat emoticons that


resemble the earth star. For a moment, a shiver ran down Yeo-
woon’s spine and he looked at his phone.

account

(emoticon)

account

(emoticon)
The message he sent was quickly swept away by the planet’s
emoticons and disappeared. But I saw the afterglow. The moment I
send a question mark, Ji-gu Yoon’s chat partner also sends a
question mark.

“….”

What on earth is this? I didn’t understand. So, does Ji-gu Yoon have
a mobile phone from Earth?

account

Haha I won haha >_<

I don’t know what on earth he won, but as Yoon Ji-gu smiled brightly
and moved his fingers, the same message arrived on Yeo-woon’s
phone.

‘no way….’

Ji-gu Yoon?

‘Nonsense….’

Yeowoon swallowed a laugh inside. Then, impulsively, he raised his


hand and placed his hand on Yoon Ji-gu’s head.

“Ahh!”
“….”

Ji-gu Yoon was startled and dropped his cell phone on the floor. He
looked at himself. Yeowoon smiled and stroked his hair with a face
no different from usual. Jigu Yoon rubbed his chest with a visibly
relieved expression.

“Tongue, brother, when did you come?”

“now.”

“… Oh, surprise!”

“surprised?”

“of course! I was very surprised! Why does it suddenly pop out from
behind? “I’m really annoyed.”

“it’s annoying?”

“Oh, I don’t buy an umbrella no matter how much it costs. So my


clothes are all wet…evil!”

Yeo-woon suddenly squeezed the top of Yoon Ji-gu’s head. The


envelope he was holding in his hand fell to the floor, and at the same
time, black hair stuck out here and there between the fingers
clenched in his fist. Yoon Ji-gu, who was suddenly caught by his hair,
looked up at Yeo-woon with an incomprehensible expression on his
face. The eyes shook violently.
“Why, why, suddenly!”

“babe.”

“…yes?”

As Yeo-woon smiled and said the unimaginable title, Ji-gu Yoon took
a deep breath.

“Say it.”

“….”

At that moment, several expressions passed over Yun Ji-gu’s face.


It seems like he still can’t judge the situation, so Yeo-woon nails it.

“Why don’t you do it? “You’re usually good at these things, Byeol-
ah.”

Yun Ji-gu looked up at Yeo-woon with wide eyes and closed his
mouth. His uvula rose up and down loudly once. He suddenly started
shaking with a frightened look on his face.

“Why don’t you do it?”

“brother…. Snow, I’m scared of snow…!”

“Quickly say honey. hurry.”


His face instantly turned bright red. Yeowoon’s prediction was wrong.
I thought Earth Star would be really fussy and obnoxious in real life,
but she couldn’t even call me by my usual name.

“Why don’t you do it? “Honey, honey, you like this kind of thing.”

“Well, I was wrong!”

“huh? “What did you do wrong?”

“… Just everything.”

“No, you didn’t do anything wrong. Call me quickly.”

Unable to tell her to let go of her head, Yun Ji-gu’s lips twitched and
murmured in a voice so low that not even an ant could hear.

“… Kiya.”

“I can’t hear you.”

“….”

“Gubyeol, I can’t hear you.”

Ji-gu Yoon looked very nervous at those words and asked.

“…I’m angry?”
“fury?”

Yeowoon snorted and squatted down in front of Jigu Yoon.

“It’s just ridiculous.”

“…why?”

“Quickly call me honey. If you can’t sing, at least make a cute face.”

this. Yeowoon closed his eyes tightly and imitated the ‘>_<‘
expression that Jigu Yoon often used. Even though he demonstrated
it first, Ji-gu Yoon shook his head vigorously with a red face. I
couldn’t understand how he could say things so calmly that I couldn’t
say just by looking at his face. No, from the beginning, Yeo-woon did
not understand the way of thinking of Earth, that is, Yoon Ji-gu.

“no, I do not want! “I won’t!”

“How can you be like this?”

“….”

“I was planning on breaking half of your head tomorrow.”

“Destroy it…?”

“Congratulations, your life has been extended.”


“…yes?”

“I’m kidding.”

“….”

“Smile.”

Yun Ji-gu’s face turned pale when he was told to smile. He couldn’t
laugh at all.

“But you got one right. I almost fainted.”

“… I did that, right?”

Yun Ji-gu was momentarily flattered and then closed his mouth. It
was so stupid that I laughed. As Yeo-woon laughed, Ji-gu Yoon’s
expression became even more serious. He looks scared.

“When did you know it was me?”

“Not long, not long.”

“Say it properly.”

Yun Ji-gu’s mouth opened as he pulled his head out.

“It’s only been a year! really!”


“one year?”

“…I didn’t know at first either, right? “So I thought he was my


stalker.”

It was a huge coincidence. Well, that’s enough, they knew about it


for a year and made fun of me like that…. The more you know, the
more absurd it becomes. This Yoon Ji-gu is the real Earth? Even
after knowing that fact, it doesn’t match at all. With this cool face,
you ask, ‘Honey, how are you? >_<‘ I got goosebumps thinking
about the same chat.

“…I’m angry?”

Ji-gu Yoon mutters indifferently, as if he never expected me to react


like this. Even though my hair, which I had worked hard to comb and
trim, was a mess, I felt so insignificant that Yoon Ji-gu was noticing
me. Maybe that’s why I don’t get angry at all. It was funny how my
face would turn white and red just because I got caught by my hair
once.

“Earth.”

“yes….”

“I saved all my time for tomorrow.”

“…yes?”
“No, it’s been a while since I didn’t make plans for the weekend
because of you. I want to watch a movie and have fun with you.”

The moment he heard those words, a blush appeared on Yun Ji-gu’s


cheeks. The sound of my heart pounding could be heard up to here.

“brother… I like it, right?”

“that’s right.”

“….”

“So, let’s get it together today. I think we can talk about the details
slowly.”

“Suddenly? What does that have to do with that?!”

“Anyway, you have an appointment with me tomorrow, so all your


time is mine. You say you’ll do anything I want?”

Yeowoon let go of the hand holding her hair and picked up the
envelope that had fallen on the floor. Yun Ji-gu’s gaze also moved
down, and he swallowed his saliva when he saw the paddle and
small shiny silver squares visible through the slightly opened
envelope.

“I… Is it really today?”


“Slowly close the cafe and come up. I’ll go up, take a shower, and
wait.”

Ji-gu Yoon grabbed the opaque envelope and grabbed Yeo-woon’s


wrist as she tried to get up.

“Now, wait a minute. Hyung, then, will you be with me for 1 day
starting today?”

“Come to my house.”

“…Fuck, so good! But I wanted to say it earlier, but I held back


because I was afraid I would get hit. Can I just say this? Brother,
he’s so dirty right now. I got all wet from the rain….”

“Earth.”

“… I understand.”

Jigu Yoon nodded, covering his bright red face with his hands. Yeo-
woon pressed Yun Ji-gu’s very disheveled head with his palm and
stood up. As I turned away from him and was about to enter the
building across from him, I heard a voice behind me muttering that I
was going to faint.

Yeo-woon, who was alone in the elevator, checked her face in the
mirror on one side.

“….”
Inside, there was a man facing him, wet and with an expression of
indescribable confusion. Belatedly, the back of Yeowoon’s neck
turned red.

“Ah, it’s hot.”

Is the elevator air conditioner broken? Yeowoon shook his head


slightly, holding the front of his wet shirt and flapping it.

***

“What should we really do with her?”

Yeowoon muttered as water poured from the shower head. I couldn’t


help but laugh again when I thought of Yun Ji-gu, who was trembling
in fear while being grabbed by the hair by me, and confessing his
true feelings by saying, ‘Brother, you’re being naughty now.’ He was
the Earth Star and the Earth Star was her. Now that I think about it
again, it doesn’t match at all, so I’m confused.

“I… What did you say to Earth Star?”

I thought carefully about whether I had made a mistake with the


Earth Star, but nothing in particular came to mind. I don’t know if it’s
about Ji-gu Yoon, but I’m not that interested in Ji-gu…. Rather than
the conversation I had with him, the only thing I remembered was
that the planet Earth was disgusting. Yeowoon thought for a
moment, then left the shower booth and dried himself off with a
towel.

‘He still says he likes me. …Then of course I didn’t make any
mistakes, right!’

He lightly concluded that he was not guilty. Yeowoon, who returned


to the room and was about to naturally change into pajamas,
stopped. Earth was supposed to come later, but I thought it would
be out of character to greet him in pajamas with the neck stretched
out. Yeo-woon put his neatly folded pajamas back where they were,
then took out a comfortable T-shirt and cotton shorts to wear when
going out for a short walk outside the house.

Water dripped from my wet hair. The moment I draped a towel over
my shoulder and was about to dry off, I heard the doorbell ring
outside. Yeowoon stopped on the spot.

‘It arrived sooner than expected?’

After checking his clothes for no reason, he walked to the front door
and opened the door. In front of the door stood a very nervous Yoon
Ji-gu, holding a bag of bread in his hand.

“….”

“….”
Jigu Yoon’s neck was already red. Yeowoon looked embarrassed
and fiddled with the towel before shaking his head and saying.

“come in.”

“Hey, bro.”

“why?”

“….”

Yun Ji-gu quietly looked down at Yeo-woon without even taking off
his shoes. It seemed like he had something to say, but hesitation
seemed to remain. He took a deep breath, caught his breath,
blushed his cheeks, and asked in a low voice.

“Are we really dating?”

“yes…?”

You asked me a question earlier and you liked it, so you ask me that
again? And I needed to know this much without saying anything. I
didn’t know why it was necessary to ask each question and get
confirmation.

“But.”

“What.”
“… What should I call my brother?”

“…?”

I couldn’t understand what Ji-gu Yoon meant. Does this mean that
we should organize the names?

“What do you want to call me? “Do you want to say something?”

“uh? “Can you criticize me?”

“No, no.”

“I wasn’t planning on doing that anyway….”

As he says that, he looks a bit sad. Normally, I would have just


thought this look was ‘cute~’, but today Yoon Ji-gu looks a little
different. Perhaps because the Earth stars overlapped with each
other at 50% transparency, I strangely felt like grabbing my collar
and shaking it, and I had no luck.

“Then do you want to call me baby? “What you like.”

“No, that’s not it!”

I was right in asking because I knew I couldn’t do it.


“You said you wouldn’t be able to call me even if I laid the board
down, so why did you fuss all this time?”

Jigu Yoon groaned and bit his lip. I thought I could do it, but looking
at my face, I muttered excuses like, “I can’t do it.”

“… It’s a bit like that, there are a lot of them.”

“okay? for example?”

“… Master or something.”

“…?”

Ji-gu Yoon said that and noticed it. I would rather proudly announce
that I would call it that.

“Why do you look at me like that?”

“like that… You want to call me that?”

“….”

“Are you serious?”

In response to Yeo-woon’s question, Ji-gu Yoon blinked with a face


full of determination and nodded vigorously. It seemed like there was
some illusion in the title ‘master’. A real pervert. How can a person’s
image change so drastically in an instant? Yeowoon nodded with a
sad expression.

“Do whatever you feel like. …Instead, I only call you when it’s just
the two of us.”

“of course.”

“Call me.”

“…main….”

“master.”

“…Ugh….”

“You said you wanted to do it? “Why don’t you do this?”

“….”

“You want me to call you?”

“… I can’t do it.”

Now my whole face has turned bright red. If you poke it with your
finger, wouldn’t it explode? He said he wanted to call himself master,
but what’s wrong with him? Yeowoon burst out laughing, which he
had been holding back.
Ji-gu Yoon looked at Yeo-un who was giggling and spoke in a
trembling voice.

“Aren’t you going to dry your hair?”

“Either you stop me.”

“… Me?”

“come in. Are you going to stand here for a thousand years?”

Ji-gu Yoon suddenly followed behind Yeo-woon and clenched his


fists. He was dazed the entire time, his eyes closed until the
moment the dryer was held in his hand. Whistling, a lukewarm wind
shook my hair along with a loud mechanical sound. Yeowoon sat on
the bed and felt the hand drying her hair. It felt good every time I felt
a very careful hand.

“Yoon Ji-gu.”

Yoon Ji-gu’s hand trembled at my one word. Even though the dryer
was making a loud noise, he seemed to be able to hear the voice.

“If you knew everything, why didn’t you tell me?”

“….”

“And that too for a year.”


“… That’s it.”

The tickling touch stopped. He just sat quietly behind me for a while
and muttered.

“jeon… I didn’t know my brother would be angry.”

“Did you?”

“Che, I’m really sorry for what I did when I first followed you around.
I had my reasons, but I know that’s no excuse!”

“Calm down, I’m not saying this because you’re from Earth. I’m not
even angry.”

“…sure?”

“It’s a bit weird to be angry at you because of something that


happened in the game. I was annoyed at the time.”

“….”

“I just think it’s a bit…that you went on for a year without telling me
even such a trivial thing. .”

“….”

“… I guess you’re sad.”


It felt like I had finally figured out the name of the emotion that had
been gathering inside me as I spoke. This was also the reason why I
couldn’t answer right away when I was asked if I was angry when we
met earlier. I just couldn’t get angry about something like this.
However, it wasn’t like I was completely calm.

…Yes, this was disappointing.

Yun Ji-gu made a blank face at Yeo-woon’s words, as if he hadn’t


even thought about it. Yeo-woon’s profile was captured in her
trembling eyes. He moved his lips for a while and then lowered his
head weakly.

“sorry.”

I didn’t specifically bring this up to hear your apology.

Yeo-woon tilted his head and looked back at Yun Ji-gu. His visibly
downcast face, unable to even look at me, and his pure white face
that had finally returned to its original color were strangely annoying.
Yeo-woon impulsively hugged Ji-gu Yoon’s neck and bit his lip.

“…Sigh!”

Yun Ji-gu, who had been still and suddenly chewed her lip, was so
startled that she almost threw the dryer she was holding in her hand.
The dryer fell on the bed and spun 360 degrees for a while, making
a fuss and blowing air at the wall. After a while, Yeowoon parted his
lips first, and a face that was even redder than the red swollen lips
came into view. Only then did I feel satisfied. A blushing face suits
Yoon Ji-gu better than a helpless, drooping expression.
As Yeowoon roughly pulled out the wire that was bothering him
earlier, the sound of the dryer stopped. In an instant, silence fell in
the room.

“…Oh man, I thought I was having a heart attack. If this continues,


my life expectancy will be cut in half. I’d rather hit you!”

Yun Ji-gu grumbled, pressing his pounding heart. At those words,


Yeowoon remembered something he had forgotten.

“ah…right.”

“….”

“…wait here.”

Yeo-woon lightly kissed Yoon Ji-gu’s cheek, and went back into the
room to find the envelope he had left in the living room. Ji-gu Yun
gulped when he saw Yeo-woon holding a black paddle slightly larger
than an adult’s palm. He sat down on the lingering bed and flinched
back.

“How many hits do you want?”

“….”

Yun Ji-gu looked at me and raised one hand and showed three
fingers. And before Yeo-woon had even reacted, he stretched out all
his fingers and changed his words.
“Is it too little? Then ten…?”

“….”

“S-twenties?”

Pervert bastard…. It looks like he really wants to be hit a lot.

I had an ominous feeling that if I stayed still, the number would


increase to 100. Yeo-woon sat down next to Yun Ji-gu and placed
her hand on top of his.

“Do five things.”

“yes….”

But where and how should I hit it? Should I tell him to lie down on
the floor and hit him? …So isn’t that just giving you energy? Why is
Earth like that? Yeo-woon, who had only indirect experience through
video media, looked at Yoon Ji-gu, hiding his confusion inside.

“Uh, how do you want to be hit?”

It would be better to ask an expert about this. At least Yoon Ji-gu


knows more about this type of play than he does.

“Because I was hugged.”


Yun Ji-gu answered without hesitation even for a moment. It was as
if he had thought about it in advance. Yeowoon was inwardly
shocked at that sight. How much imagination does it take to get an
answer as soon as you poke it?

“I want to see my brother’s face.”

“Okay, okay then.”

“…Please punish me….”

Oh, what should I do? He really seems like a pervert…. Yeowoon


cleared his throat. It was a really maniacal line, but you have to
respect Yoon Ji-gu’s taste. I’m not asking you to raise your fist and
beat my face until it’s bloody, but I could handle this much.

Yeo-woon straightened her legs and sat down in the center of the
bed, and Ji-gu Yoon played with her red ears, then came in between
my legs and sat down, clumsily hugging my neck.

“…!”

His weight should not be taken lightly. Yeo-woon, who had been
caught off guard and was suddenly hugged, looked up at Yun Ji-gu
while lying down on the bed.

‘Do you like it?’

He was blushing with great anticipation. I don’t know what’s so good


about a subject waiting to be beaten by my hand with a flushed face.
Yun Ji-gu lowered his head and kissed Yeo-un on the lips like a bird
pecking at seed.

‘It’s not even Saturday yet and he’s kissing me again.’

When that thought occurred to me, I laughed.

Yeo-woon stretched out his hand and hugged Yoon Ji-gu. Being held
in his spacious arms didn’t seem as bad as I thought. Yeo-woon
touched Ji-gu Yoon’s lips with his finger and closed his eyes. Yun Ji-
gu’s shaky breath touched his cheek. When his tongue was
entangled and pulled out, Yun Ji-gu let out a suppressed moan. I
thought it was cute and laughed, and after that, I felt like I was trying
to swallow a moan.

“Ugh….”

As I slowly opened my eyes during the kiss, I saw Ji-gu Yoon


trembling with his eyes tightly closed.

‘cute.’

Would my self from a year ago have thought that I would feel this
way when I saw Yoon Ji-gu?

The kiss continued for a long time. Even Yoon Ji-gu, who at first
couldn’t breathe and just stayed frozen, now learned how to twitch
and push his tongue in. It felt strange because it felt like I was taking
a child who knew nothing and teaching him from scratch. Every time
our tongues rubbed together, my lower abdomen twitched.
It was then.

“ah…!”

Ji-gu Yoon gently pressed the center of the lingering breath. He was
absorbed in the kiss, sucking his lips, not paying attention to the
sudden lingering moan. That was the starting point. No matter how
much Yun Ji-gu tried to avoid Yeo-woon, he always followed her,
sucking her lips and obsessively rubbing her clothes as if tracing the
shape of her genitals with her hands. Even though I was rubbing my
legs, it was no use.

I thought what he was doing was cute so I was watching him, but I
couldn’t keep doing this. Yeowoon strengthened his hand and
adjusted the paddle he was holding. And then he hit Yun Ji-gu’s butt.
There was a snapping sound and Yun Ji-gu’s body stiffened.

“evil!”

“You’re so annoying.”

Even though it was only a light tap, clear tears clung to the corners
of Yoon Ji-gu’s eyes. He put one hand behind his back and slowly
rubbed the hit spot and rubbed his forehead against Yeowoon’s
shoulder.

“sick….”

Even though he said it hurt, he didn’t move away the hand that was
groping my thigh. Because I was sitting between my legs, I couldn’t
even close them. I can’t kick it and push it away….

“Yoon Ji-gu.”

“Why do you call me with your last name?”

“Yes, Earth.”

“what.”

“Take off your clothes.”

“….”

I didn’t feel like I was hit at all, probably because I was wearing
clothes. Yun Ji-gu took a deep breath at my words, then sat up
halfway. He stood up on his knees and unbuckled his pants. When
he pulled down the zipper, he got annoyed and told me not to look
like a pervert, but Yeo-woon, who was preoccupied with something
else, just stared at Yoon Ji-gu’s center.

As the black pants were pulled down, gray underwear and firm
thighs were in place. Perhaps because he was wearing underwear,
he looked bigger than he did at the swimming pool. One part of the
underwear was dark gray and wet, and it didn’t seem like it had
much in it, but it was very thick.

It probably looks big because the packaging hasn’t been opened yet.
If you look closely, do you want to do less?
Yeo-woon suddenly realized that she was thinking about seeing the
dick of the same man, and came to her senses. It was funny how
worried I would be if I got rejected when I actually tried it.

“What about my brother?”

“What am I?”

“Why don’t you take your clothes off?”

Fuck, just take it off me…. Ji-gu Yoon wheezed and said as if he
was being unfairly treated. The corners of his eyes rose. He looks
like he’s acting quite fierce, but if he stands upright like that and says
something like that, he’s just a pervert pretending to be angry.

“You take it off.”

“….”

“hurry. It’s bothersome to me.”

“…Oh really!”

He ran towards me, his hair in disarray. Since I was wearing elastic
pants, taking off my clothes was a breeze. With his pants hanging
around his right ankle, Jigu Yoon kissed me deeply, just as he had
taught me.
Even though I didn’t teach him, he naturally put his penis against
mine and lifted his waist up. I could feel my very angry penis through
the thin cloth. I admired Yun Ji-gu’s top table as I rubbed mine
against the solid pillar. There was definitely a reason why people
were fascinated by handsome guys. I was proud to see my appetite
whet up just by looking at it. When Yun Ji-gu was about to lose
consciousness from the heat, Yeo-woon slapped Yun Ji-gu’s
buttocks to bring him back to his senses. A clicking sound was heard
and Yun Ji-gu’s back stiffened.

“Huh!”

It definitely felt different when I took off my pants. Yun Ji-gu, who
had been crying in pain until the third time, bit Yeo-woon’s tongue
painlessly as if taking revenge on the fourth time. And immediately
he rubbed that spot with his tongue as if to gently soothe me. It
wasn’t funny that I was the only one giving him bottles and medicine.

“Ah, brother, hmm, yes.”

Yun Ji-gu caught his breath as he placed his forehead against Yeo-
woon’s. As if Yeo-woon was playing, he put his hand through his
underwear and massaged his slightly red buttocks, and he let out a
suppressed moan again.

“Do not do that!”

“They said I would be punished.”

“…that. … But I didn’t tell you to massage it.”


“I comforted you because you looked like you were in pain….”

“…?”

“If I touch you, won’t it hurt a little less?”

Yun Ji-gu listened quietly, and reluctantly nodded as if he felt like


what was being said was true. It was my first time seeing and
touching a man’s body so explicitly. Yeo-woon raised his hand and
slipped it through Yoon Ji-gu’s t-shirt. As I touched the area around
my belly button as if massaging my abs, I got the illusion that Ji-gu
Yoon’s penis was wriggling.

At the moment of hitting the last remaining hit, Ji-gu Yoon’s posture
collapsed, probably because his hands were too strong due to
excitement. He lay face down with his arms on either side of his
head and trembled.

“Huh…!”

“….”

The area where underwear gets wet has expanded. For a moment,
even I, who hit him, thought, “Ah,” but Ji-gu Yoon, who ejaculated
after being hit, felt really unfamiliar. Yeowoon muttered without
realizing it.

“You seem like a pervert….”

“Ha, ah, huh….”


“transformation….”

“… Why am I a pervert!”

“You just left after getting hit.”

“It’s not like that!”

Yun Ji-gu got angry at those words. I’ll say it again, if you get angry
with your head straight up like that, you’re just a raging pervert.
When Yeo-woon looked up at himself with salty eyes, Ji-gu Yoon
sighed as if he was going crazy.

“You really got excited by hitting me!”

“Oh, wait a minute!”

As if to get revenge, Ji-gu Yoon pulled out his genitals over Yeo-
woon’s underwear and brushed the surface of her skin, which had
become sensitive from being touched so much. When I stroked the
tip of the glans in a circular motion with my thumb, Yeowoon arched
his back without even using his hand. His toes curled and he
vomited semen onto Yoon Ji-gu’s hand. Jigu Yoon looked at me with
a mixture of shame and excitement and grumbled.

“I was even thinking of buying this and this to confess to me. Who is
the real pervert?”

“why me…? “I bought it because you beat me up.”


“Ha, when am I?”

“… He said it’s okay to get hit on me.”

“that!”

“And who was it that kept talking as if he was asking me to hit him
even while I was eating?”

“…Me.”

“Again earlier. I said I would call you master.”

Ji-gu Yoon, who was about to refute, twitched his lips and expressed
his dissatisfaction.

“If that’s the case, I have a lot to say. My brother was talking on the
phone in front of me, and he called me master.”

“…What are you talking about. I’ve never done that before?”

“There is? They said he was a new employee. I remember


everything.”

When did I…? Yeowoon felt something off about this conversation.
The more we talked, the more strangely it felt like we were talking to
each other.
“Aren’t you the chief, not the master?”

“It’s the same. Are you making fun of me now?”

“It’s a company position.”

“…yes?”

“It’s like assistant manager or manager. Chief.”

Jigu Yoon tilted his head with a slightly frowning face and asked.

“Is there such a thing? “This is my first time hearing this?”

“…there is.”

“Well, then why did you buy this!”

Jigu Yoon pointed to the paddle thrown on the corner of the bed and
shouted.

“Because you sing like that, it seems like you really want to be
beaten…. But I feel a little uncomfortable. Can’t we talk after I wash
up?”

Yeo-woon said, gesturing towards the wet bottom. However, Yoon Ji-
gu looked strangely nervous. Ah, again. Just before his face turns
red, his whole body begins to tremble.
“Well, then why did I get hit!”

“huh? “You like being hit.”

“no!”

Yun Ji-gu has once again become an angry pervert. He took out his
cell phone from his pants that had fallen on the floor, searched for
something, and then closed his eyes. After a while, the corners of
his eyes turn red.

“… Are you crying?”

“….”

“Earth? …Why, why are you like this? “Is it because you said I’m a
pervert?”

“…flaw.”

“I’m sorry, I won’t tease you anymore. huh?”

Yeo-woon jumped up and clumsily hugged Yoon Ji-gu, who was in


despair. Without protesting, Yoon Ji-gu buried his head in Yeo-
woon’s shoulder and gripped the bed sheets so tightly that he felt
like he was going to tear them. Because he was clenching it so
tightly, blue veins appeared on his fist.

“I don’t like being sick!”


“Yes, yes.”

“It’s real. If I was going to get hit, I would beat him first, but I only
endured it because he was my older brother! How beautifully I have
grown…!”

“….”

“I… I thought that was your taste!”

Ji-gu Yun wheezed as if he felt truly unfair. Yeowoon was dazed for
a moment. Isn’t it your taste too? So now we…What did you do?
Suddenly, the two became people who played a game that no one
liked.

“Fuck, it hurt so fucking much….”

It’s a bit funny to say something like this after only getting five hits.
When I hit him, he said how hard he hit me. Yeo-woon swallowed
the words she couldn’t say to Yun Ji-gu and patted him on the back.

“It hurts!”

“oh my. sorry.”

“Fuck… I’m going to commit suicide.”

To be sensitive. Yeowoon stopped patting his back and started


gently stroking it. Ji-gu Yoon occasionally cried, saying he was going
crazy with embarrassment, and every time Yeo-woon did that, he
closed his eyes tightly, feeling ashamed of himself for having made
such a big decision and even bought a paddle.

By the way, if you hate being sick more than dying….

‘I am below.’

As always, Yeowoon naturally accepted his fate. As for Yoon Ji-gu,


who thought that was my preference and accepted being beaten by
me even though he said he didn’t like being in pain. I was able to
give up on this.

***

As soon as the morning sun brightened, my eyes opened brightly.


It’s a familiar morning. Yeowoon looked blankly at the familiar ceiling
and muttered.

“it’s annoying….”

Until last night, Ji-gu Yoon had kissed her and done things like that
on the bed where Yeo-woon was lying.

“at that time…. Isn’t the atmosphere really nice?”


Is it because I made fun of him for ejaculating while getting hit, or is
it because I felt unfair about getting hit when it wasn’t my taste? The
good atmosphere was ruined when Yoon Ji-gu suddenly became
irritated. Embarrassed, Yeo-woon threw the screaming Yoon Ji-gu
into the bathroom, washed him clean, and even lent him some
clothes to change into.

After pushing Yoon Ji-gu into the bathroom first, Yeo-woon gathered
up his clothes and opened the bathroom door to wash them. Then
Yoon Ji-gu covered his chest with his arms and screamed, asking
what he was doing. Yesterday, Yeowoon felt like he had heard all the
perverted things he would ever hear in his life. Even though they
have seen each other’s bodies anyway, Yoon Ji-gu is very sensitive.
Yeo-woon had to quietly squat in front of the door and wait for his
turn while listening to the sound of Ji-gu Yun washing up. After a
while, Yun Ji-gu came out of the bathroom with steam rising from his
head.

Ji-gu Yoon, who had no shame in talking sexually in front of me until


a few days ago, seems to be dead. Even after the lingering
emotions washed away, he didn’t even lift a hand from me.

‘We’re this close, but you’re just blushing and not holding hands?’

Yeo-woon, who thought she was sexually mild-mannered compared


to others, was a little embarrassed to see herself feeling a little
disappointed with him. It seems like he was secretly hoping that Ji-
gu Yoon would come next to him and grope his body or do
something to him.

‘…’Gojan?’
Although I could clearly see with my own eyes that she was not a
eunuch, I was also dumbfounded. Is this really it? You’ve been
drawing such a big picture, but is this really all there is? Yeowoon
burst into laughter.

‘Well, okay. You must have been very surprised today….’

It must have been sad to get hit so suddenly. Yeo-woon tried to


understand Yoon Ji-gu from his perspective. It’s impossible to
console a child who was crying intermittently just an hour ago.

But it didn’t end there. Yun Ji-gu, who thought he was going to sleep
in today, approached the front door and roughly put on his shoes. I
started leaving so naturally that I couldn’t even ask where I was
going. He said to me, ‘See you tomorrow, bro.’ And even said
goodbye. Although there were advantages to being next door, Yeo-
woon now realized that there were also disadvantages.

‘What, aren’t you going to sleep?’

‘I need to give you Yunposong breakfast.’

‘who?’

‘It’s our cat.’

‘Ah, soft…. …But it’s Earth. Should I go now? It’s very late.’

‘It’s right next door.’


‘You don’t know what I’m talking about?’

‘I understand, but the cat is so damned if I come home even a little


late. I’ll just leave. …Brother, sleep well.’

‘…okay. ‘Sleep well too.’

The door closed right in front of Yeo-woon, who had a shocked


expression on his face.

‘What is this?’

I felt somehow abandoned. Yeowoon stood there for a while and


tilted his head. Suddenly, Yoon Ji-gu was taken away by a cat. It
wasn’t anything to be upset about, but for some reason I had a
strange feeling that I had lost. You can’t tell an innocent cat to
starve….

No, it was still the day we confirmed our feelings for each other.
Even if it’s still a little early to go to the end, shouldn’t you at least
get some sleep? After all, it’s next door, right?

“Why are you neglecting the fish you just caught?”

Yeowoon muttered dissatisfiedly, remembering what happened last


night. I felt like a fool for expecting something. I was weak when I
actually got into the topic of talking about a lot of dirty talk without
shame.

“….”
Why do I have to feel this way because of Yoon Ji-gu? Yeo-woon,
overcome with a sense of despair, raised his head and checked the
clock on the table. It’s time for a normal person to wake up quickly.
However, when I picked up my phone and checked the messenger,
neither ‘Earth Star’ nor ‘Yoon Ji-gu’ sent any messages.

“Are you awake yet?”

That can’t be possible. It doesn’t make sense to go home to feed


the cat breakfast and not wake up until ten o’clock. Yeowoon
chuckled and got up from his seat.

“If you don’t come, I have to go.”

If he’s still asleep, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to wake him up. Yeo-
woon leisurely went into the bathroom, took a quick shower, and
thought about a gift to give to Ji-gu Yoon.

***

“….”

Yun Ji-gu sat sprawled out on the floor and watched the cat’s tail
wagging faintly. The sound of food being eaten was loud. Normally I
would have taken out my phone and taken a few pictures, but today
I don’t even have the will to do so.
How much time has passed? Yun Ji-gu, who had been sitting still in
his seat like a dolhareubang, turned his head and yawned.

“… Go to sleep.”

Jigu Yoon muttered to himself. The area under his eyes was very
puffy. This was because I couldn’t sleep for several hours last night
because I was curled up under the blanket and pounding the pillow.

There was only one reason. Last night his life was ruined once
again.

From the moment Yoon Ji-gu returned home until he fell asleep, he
lay limp on the bed and looked back at the past. I just wanted to hit
my head hard somewhere and lose my memory. When he realized
that all the nonsense I had said to Yeo-woon had turned out to be
negative, he had to hold back the tears that were threatening to leak
out.

“….”

When I thought about last night, my face got hot again. I really
wanted to die. It wasn’t a joke, it was real! I didn’t have the courage
to look Yeo-woon straight in the eyes. He hugged her and even
kissed her with a casual expression, but despite this, Ji-gu Yoon was
so embarrassed of herself that she couldn’t bear it.

So I got more irritated and lost my temper. This was possible


because I was confident that Yeowoon would accept everything.
Yeo-woon Lee somehow seemed to show a more vulnerable look on
her face. He had really strange tastes.
Yesterday was the best day of my life, but it was also the worst day.
It was crazy that the more irritated I got, the hotter my eyes got. My
wet lower body felt like shit, and my butt, which was still hot, felt like
shit. But it was also very shitty that Lee Yeo-woon, who made him
like this, was not a shit. Everything in this world sucks!

Not even a few hours after falling asleep while blaming the world, I
woke up with a cat climbing on my chest and pressing down on me.
The cat always woke Yun Ji-gu at the same time, so there was no
need for a separate alarm clock.

“What do we do….”

When I woke up from a night’s sleep, I felt even more embarrassed


and couldn’t contact Lee Yeo-woon. Have I thrown away the special
weapon that hit my butt yesterday? Because it was black in color, it
felt even more sinister. If Yeo-woon hadn’t thrown it away, he would
have been willing to step in and throw it away himself. But to do that,
I had to go into Yeowoon’s house and see his face.

Yun Ji-gu didn’t have the confidence to face him yet. I wanted to
hold on until my past actions were forgotten and faded from my
memory and no longer felt like karma.

Ding dong-.

“…?”

Is it delivery?
Without thinking, Ji-gu Yoon got up from his seat and approached
the front door. And after the time it took for the delivery driver to go
down in the elevator, I opened the door halfway and checked the
front door. However, what was in front of the door was not an ocher-
colored delivery box, but familiar sneakers.

Sneakers with white shoelaces tied neatly were lying on the floor.
White, straight legs over white socks. Ji-gu Yoon, who was looking
down at the somehow familiar legs, looked up and faced the owner
of the sneakers.

“hi. did you sleep well?”

Ouch!

Jigu Yoon almost screamed. Lee Yeo-woon smiled brightly and


attacked my heart. A halo was visible behind Yeowoon, who was
wearing a light blue plain t-shirt and white pants that reached just
above the knees. In contrast, he…! Yun Ji-gu hurriedly hid more
than half of his face behind the door. Yeo-woon looked at Yun Ji-gu,
who was always wary of him, and giggled in bewilderment.

“What’re you doing?”

“I haven’t washed yet.”

“You washed last night.”

“… I mean, I haven’t even washed my face.”


“huh? Then do it now. Am I going in?”

“Now, wait a minute!”

Yeowoon forced open the door, which was wide open, and stormed
into the house. He took off his shoes and said, ‘Ah!’ as if he
remembered something. He made a sound. And I handed a
shopping bag to Jigu Yoon, who was fidgeting behind me.

“This is a gift.”

“…?”

What a gift. Is it my birthday today? Jigu Yoon suddenly put his hand
into the shopping bag and took out the contents without thinking.
The sound of rustling vinyl was loud. What I held in my hand was
very soft. The object contained within the transparent plastic was
dark gray and round in shape. Yun Ji-gu’s expression hardened.

“Hello Posong.”

Yeowoon bowed and greeted the cat. The cat, which had initially
ignored him, seemed to have decided that Yeo-woon, who visited so
often, was a harmless human, and now it gave itself away more
often. Yeo-woon, who was stroking his black fur, turned around and
spoke to Yun Ji-gu, who was as hard as a stone.

“It’s a cushion. I heard you said you were very sick yesterday.”

“….”
“I went out and bought it this morning so I wouldn’t get sick while
playing the game. Do you like my gift?”

“…brother!”

“Don’t you wash your face?”

Ji-gu Yoon squeezed the end of the donut-shaped cushion and


crumpled it, trying to gather his mind from his daze. It was clear that
Yeowoon Lee was making fun of him. The smiling face was
disgusting.

“Wash your face and come out. Let’s play a game together later.”

I couldn’t suddenly get angry at a face like that. Yun Ji-gu weakly
dropped the cushion on the floor and trudged into the bathroom.
Fuck, fuck fuck! Yun Ji-gu shook his head. It was nice to see Lee
Yeo-woon’s face in the morning, but it wasn’t all that good.

He washed his face with cold water to calm his bright red face. Ji-gu
Yoon, who was glaring at the face in the mirror that had finally
returned to its original color, moistened his hands with water and
calmed his floating hair. Only then did it seem like it was worth taking
a look at.

“Oh, why are you like this?”

The only flaw was that the area under my eyes was slightly dark,
probably because I slept too late last night. He rubbed his fingers
under his eyes for no reason and sighed. A while later, when Ji-gu
Yoon came out of the bathroom, Yeo-woon was standing right in
front of him.

“It takes a long time to wash.”

“…what.”

Yeo-woon, who was leaning in front of the bathroom and waiting for
her to come out, looked at Ji-gu Yoon’s face and smiled faintly. I was
so curious about what he was thinking when he looked at me right
now. He just looked at me, but I felt embarrassed again, and my
ears became hot. Yeowoon opened his mouth late.

“Byeol-ah.”

“…!”

Yun Ji-gu took a deep breath.

“marry me.”

“… Oh, no.”

He was embarrassed and tried to step back, but the bathroom door
was already closed behind him, so there was no room for him to
retreat. Yeowoon came closer, leaving only a span of distance, and
looked up at himself and said.

“Please, please. marry me. huh? please.”


“….”

“Why aren’t you saying anything? “I agreed to marry you when I met
you.”

“Do it, I will do it for you.”

“okay? Then let’s do it today.”

Yeo-woon smiled as if she felt refreshed after getting what she


wanted. And added one word.

“But it’s Earth.”

“….”

“You act so cute and sneer in the game, but why can’t you say
anything when you look at my face? Are you that? Keyboard
warrior?”

“What am I!”

“Wow, why are you yelling? “You got stabbed?”

“no? “It’s not completely right?”

“Is that correct?”


Yeo-woon was happy to obsessively look at Yun Ji-gu, who was
avoiding his gaze. He was making fun of himself and playing with
himself. Wow, marriage. Even though it was just a game story, I was
so embarrassed and happy to say such a thing with a lingering face
that my heart couldn’t calm down. After washing my face, my face
suddenly became brighter without even realizing it.

“I think you had a laptop at home before. Do illusions work there


too?”

“Go back.”

“Then lend me that.”

“I thought…Since the morning…Doesn’t it stick?”

“What, are you already with me?”

“It’s not my wife or my wife, brother…Tsk.”

Yeo-woon Lee was clinging to me without even noticing it. Ji-gu Yoon
tried hard to think of other things to prevent his lower body from
reacting, and pushed Yeo-woon away with his foot. At his feet, a
gray cushion that had not yet been removed from the plastic rustled.
It was a very hectic morning.
***

There was something incredibly strange about it. I guess I have to


say that I finally feel it. Yeo-woon looked at Earth Star’s account on
the desktop monitor and looked back at Yun Ji-gu.

“You really are from Earth.”

“…what.”

“Can I lose just one? “It’s a long-time dream of mine.”

When Yeo-woon put his hands together and pretended to be


earnest, Ji-gu Yoon shook his head vigorously as if asking if it would
be okay. Yeo-woon lightly pushed Yoon Ji-gu on the shoulder with his
raised fist. Even though the hit was gentle enough to tickle even a
child, Ji-gu Yoon pretended to be in pain by flinching at the area
where he was hit.

It’s very crappy. Yeowoon burst into laughter. But what’s even more
problematic is that he’s starting to look cute.

“Am I proposing?”

“No, wait a moment.”


The Earth Star jumped up and down in front of Yeowoon. I heard
that there are people who purposely break up a couple and buff
them right after receiving the wedding buff. If there is a wedding hall
buff part-time job at around 500 per case, the buff effect will be quite
good. Yeowoon decided to open a personal window and inform the
people currently online of this fact.

[Friend] neutaaaa: I’m getting married today and who’s coming!

[Friend] Kidney Rat: Huh?

[Friend] Wandu Wandya: Are you really getting married? Or a game


marriage?

[Friend] neutaaaa: It’s a game;

I wondered why they were asking such an obvious question. Would


you invite people from the guild to a real wedding?

[Friend] Wandu Wandya: Ah ok;;;;;

[Friend] neutaaaa: Come get the wedding buff!!

[Friend] Captain Poseidon: Yes haha

Meanwhile, other than the Poseidon guild members, the people


present in Yeoun’s room were curious.

[Friend] oO Sunshine Oo: Who are you?


[Friend] Stone Golem Core: Oh, did we know each other?

[Friend] Portly Rest: Hmm? Why are you in my friend’s window?


LOL

Looking at their nicknames, it seemed like they were people who


used to play Little Foret. There was a time when I briefly entered
Little Forest for a return event, and around that time, I suddenly
received a lot of friend requests and accepted all of them. In
addition, there were cases where Little Forest users would suddenly
send a friend request without saying a word when they encountered
a black cloak while walking down the street. Perhaps because there
were so many friends gathered like that, Yeo-woon wasn’t close
enough to remember all of their nicknames.

[Friend] WoWoW: ㄱHSaeya

[Friend] Stone Golem Core: Haha♥

Yeo-woon, who felt the familiar scent of his hometown in the illusion,
was immersed in old memories. It was amazing that I could barely
see the conversation just by looking at the pro-window. I’m not
friends with everyone, so some of my conversations seemed like I
was talking to myself. It seemed that all of the Lipo refugees were
familiar with each other. The lively atmosphere was cute.

I noticed that the Earth Star character that had been spinning in
front of me for a while had stopped. I looked to the side, wondering
what was going on, and saw Jigu Yoon staring at the laptop screen.

“why?”

“Everyone is in my brother’s window, but I’m the only one who


doesn’t have one.”

“You must have behaved so unluckily.”

“I won’t do that anymore. Can’t you put me in too?”

“Then put it in baby, try it.”


“…yes?”

“If you tell me, I’ll accept your friend request right away.”

He hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and said, “Okay!”
He shouted. I only had to say six letters, but I couldn’t figure out
what was so embarrassing.

In order to hold a wedding, you must meet the affection level and
use the ‘Will you marry me’ item. There was also a condition for
using the item: you had to wear at least two of the wedding hall
coordination sets.

Earth Star didn’t even say a word, but of her own accord, she put a
colorful veil on her head and even appeared in a white suit.

“Where did you buy those clothes?”

“It’s a fashion shop.”

“aha….”

You can wear clothes from fashion shops. Yeowoon immediately


went into the fashion shop and tried on each item.

“I thought you said you could just wear two, right?”

I tried wearing a white suit, but it was hard to see because it was
covered with a cape. Wearing a black suit showed some uniformity.
Yeowoon left the fashion shop after buying a veil identical to the
Earth Star and a black suit top and bottom set.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: When are you guys getting married?
I’m going to go crazy after receiving that buff, so I wish they would
give me the buff quickly instead of wasting time…-_-

[Guild] 9Star: Soon;

[Guild] Cat Cat Cat Cat: ㅇㅋ;;

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ;;;;;;

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: ;;;;;;;;;;

[Guild] neutaaaa: Baby, don’t fight ㅜㅜ

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Mmm

“brother!”

Ji-gu Yoon, who made a typo with a bright red face, screamed in
resentment. He usually calls first, so why does he do that?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Why are you doing this again and
again hahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwibug: When will you get divorced?


[Guild] 9Star: I’m not even married yet.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Haha are you jealous?

[Guild] Park Hwibug: ?

Ji-gu Yoon walked in front of Yeo-woon, opened the couple window,


and clicked the ‘propose’ button. Then, the ‘Will you marry me’ item
in the event window was used, and an information window appeared
on Earth’s screen.

‘Please enter a marriage proposal with love!’

“ah… What should I write?”

Ji-gu Yoon wrote a marriage proposal on the screen, erased it, and
repeated it ten times. I was wondering how grandiose words I was
going to use, so I glanced sideways and said, ‘We’re getting
married;’ The sentences were all the same. It suddenly occurred to
me that if I left it like this, I wouldn’t be able to have a wedding until
late at night.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: What should I do, Newta? You’ve become


like Earth Star.

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Earth Star Virus

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅇㅉㄹㄱ


[Guild] neutaaaa: Cockroach is doing this because he is jealous, so
please be patient ^^

[Guild] Ji9 Star: Yes~>_<

“…!”

Yeowoon immediately looked to the side. Ji-gu Yoon was chatting


with the cold expression ‘>_<‘ on his usual cold face. It was amazing
how great the sense of disparity was. How on earth did you end up
using that chat style?

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Now everyone just calls me a cockroach


haha.

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug-rae: Nick Byeon-kwon is always here. I’m so


mad, I’m serious.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: #Squid Keeper I can’t get it even if I carry it


in the Earth Star Truck ^^ㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗ

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: …thief

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: That son of a bitch hahahaha, he


immediately complies with Newta’s words.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: ㄹㅇ I don’t think there is a separate pet


district.
‘…uh?’

Something passed through Yeowoon’s mind when he heard the


words “pet planet star.” I thought I heard this somewhere, and when
I thought about it, it seemed like it was in the context of a concern
that Earth Star had shared within the guild last year. It was easier to
remember the conversation once I remembered the context.

What did they say? Did he say that there’s a pervert living next door
and stalking him? Yeowoon thought for a moment and then
remembered where he was living at that time. For sure…The
‘pervert’ he was talking about was definitely himself.

‘To sum it up, I received a confession from my neighbor today….’

I can’t remember the exact conversation, but Earth Star opened the
conversation at the time with these words.

what. Yoon Ji-gu, you bastard, are you saying that I was the
perverted, evil stalker you were talking about back then? When did I
confess!

Yeo-woon was taken aback as he looked back at Yun Ji-gu, who was
still muttering in serious thought. Yesterday, he whined and said that
he thought I was the kind of person who likes to hit people, and
what? Am I a pervert? He couldn’t figure out what kind of image he
had inside him. My blood pressure rose as I thought about how he
went to such lengths to avoid me last year, treating me like a
pervert. How can I get the word out that I handled this well?

“Earth.”
Yeo-woon called Yun Ji-gu, hiding his insidious intentions. Yoon Ji-gu
rested his chin and turned his head to look at Yeo-woon. When I
looked at that face, I felt like the absurdity was going away a bit, but
I had to come to my senses. Yeo-woon pretended to be troubled
and asked Yoon Ji-gu for a favor.

“I’m sorry, but I’m thirsty….”

“ah…!”

Ji-gu Yoon jumped up from his seat and said, “I’ll bring water!” and
quickly rushed out of the room. It’s also fast. As soon as Yun Ji-gu
left the room, Yeo-woon moved to his chair and placed his hands on
the keyboard.

♡ ㅈi9 Byul: I’m marrying my master~!! >_< ♡

A luxurious wedding message with a gold border decorated like a


wedding invitation was sent to all servers. Although the content was
not luxurious.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Ah

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: What is it, master?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: No hahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Wandu Wandya:


Assssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.
[Guild] Park Hwibug: Hahahahahahaha #Slave Man

[Guild] Halloween Gan: ㅅㅂ Really ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ ㅋㅋㅋ I


pretended to don’t like it.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Pet District♥

[Guild] Pea Wandya: Hahahahahahahaha pet Earth Star ♥

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Hahahahaha Qㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ


ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Pet District♥

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Cat: Gwanjong

[Guild] al0ha: What should I do? That guy really looks like a fanatic.
ㅠㅠㅠ

I liked the reaction more than I expected. Yeowoon, who turned


Earth into a strange person, smiled in satisfaction and immediately
returned to his place to write a reply to the marriage proposal.

♡ neutaaaa: ㄷㄷ ♡

‘The wedding begins at the Isis Palace in 30 minutes!’


[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahaha no, the answer is even
funnierㅠ

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: You’re so freaked out…

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Even if it’s just like me hahaha

[Friend] Portly Rest: Wow, hurry up. It’s Mr. ㅁㄴㅇㄹ.

[Friend] Portlyrest: ㅁㄴㅇㄹ, please hold a reception at Lipo after


the ceremony.

[Friend] WoWoW: Ah, I guess I have to reinstall the repo.

[Friend] oO Sunshine Oo: Everyone, it’s channel 3.

[Friend] Stone Golem Core: Everyone, don’t forget your manners!!

After completing her small revenge, Yeowoon smiled leisurely and


twirled her chair. Not long after, Yoon Ji-gu brought water with ice in
a transparent cup. Yeowoon said a quick thank you, took the water,
and took a sip. I felt so refreshed!

“uh? what? Why is the window….”

Ji-gu Yoon was puzzled by the marriage proposal window that


disappeared from the screen. Yeowoon slightly raised his hand and
said.
“I took care of it.”

“…yes?”

He frowned and tilted his head. Ji-gu Yoon looked at the unusual
guild chat full of laughter, then lifted his phone and checked the guild
chat room as if he was anxious. A screenshot of the wedding
invitation was already posted in the chat room. When Yoon Ji-gu
saw the marriage proposal message sent in her name, her face
turned bright red and she screamed.

“What is this!”

“You were worried, so I put an end to your worries. Do you like it?”

“…Oh really. brother!”

“Ugh, I know you’re thankful.”

Ji-gu Yoon got angry and told him not to say nonsense. As it was
expected, Yeo-woon listened with one ear and casted the spill skill
with the other and moved to the wedding hall. People in familiar
clothes raised their fists and welcomed the afterglow at the same
time.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: No, they keep requesting trades;; meme

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: It’s comfortable to just wear it…


[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: So I just got one;

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Cloak Fuck

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Newta also secretly attracts really strange


people hahaha.

[Guild] al0ha: He himself is also strange. I can’t see him taking off
his cloak.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: ㅇㅈ

While trying to appease Ji-gu Yoon, who was angry and asked how
he could make her a pet planet, everyone at the ceremony was
transformed into a cape. It was an almost forced costume change,
but the guests standing on Yeo-woon’s side laughed and said
‘hahaha’ as if they couldn’t be more satisfied.

Earthstar was the only one in the ceremony hall that did not wear a
strange cape. Among all the pitch black people, Earth Star, wearing
pure white clothes and a veil, stood out more than anyone else. I
kept laughing because it felt like it was truly a wedding just for the
planet.

“But, brother, marriage isn’t the problem… We need to start by


overhauling our skills.”

“okay? “I took the picture as I was told.”

“indeed?”
“Then you come and fix it.”

“….”

Jigu Yoon nodded hesitantly. He got up from his seat, hugged


Yeowoon from behind, and started tinkering with the skill window.
There were sighs intermittently asking what this was, but Yeowoon
didn’t pay much attention. Rather….

“Oh, I just thought of it.”

“What.”

“Earth, shall I tell you a secret?”

“secret?”

Yeo-woon nodded and pulled Yun Ji-gu’s ear. And he whispered in a


voice so low that only he could hear.

“I didn’t wear underwear today.”

“…yes?”

“Do you want to check?”

“….”
Ji-gu Yoon blinked in disbelief. He soon turned bright red and bit his
lip. When Yeowoon asked, “Did you imagine it?”, the way he couldn’t
deny it and just closed his eyes was cute in its own way.

Title: Hey, have you guys ever seen a wedding like this?

Author: Bimal Garden/Healer

Someone told me that they were going to Isis to get a wedding buff,
so I secretly followed them and saw something strange.

(photo.jpg)

I am…I have never seen a wedding so suspicious and pitch-black


during illusions.

Isn’t that what the cloak management team should do? I think that
the person who put out such an outrageous and hideous item to the
world should resign, and that the items should be roughly
compensated and collected in bulk. I didn’t pay attention at first, but
now it’s multiplying to the point where it’s really noticeable…. I’m
starting to get scared when I see it in town hahaha.
(50 comments were registered.)

-? I put the map on and fucked it.

⤷That’s why hahahaha

⤷Oh, now that I think about it, I was wearing a map.

⤷Drop Garden: I’m sorry, but I also received a cloak; If you don’t
wear it, you can’t enter the ceremony hall. 6 transaction requests
arrive at the same time in 1 second, so you have to be able to move
to not wear it;

-If you wear them together, you won’t say much, but it’s funny
because you force them to wear it.

⤷But they gave me clothes for free so I guess I can’t even curse
haha.

-I have a vague idea. A few months ago, I was at a party in the early
morning and became friends with someone of similar level. As soon
as we became friends, he shyly gave me a cape. Haha. I guess we
feel the same way when we wear the same clothes. It was really
cute. Haha.

⤷No, are they carrying extra capes?

⤷Yes, Anmul~
⤷ㄴI hope your future is filled with only good-looking bastards^^

⤷ㄴ? You’re crossing the line

-Why is it funny that the person getting married is also wearing a


capeㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ I thought he was a wedding guest?

-What is Earth’s eye? I want to give my baby plastic surgery to have


that face too.

⤷Ahh shame on me

⤷Aing shame shy eyes

⤷The odds of this new facial expression seem to be particularly


extreme. I saw someone who tried 20 and still couldn’t get it.

⤷ㄱㅅ!

-Why are half the guests raising their fists? It’s like a horror movie.

⤷ Now that I think about it, haha why are they like that?

-Is this a wedding? That half looks like a funeral home.

⤷Funeral ㅇㅈㄹ hahaha.

⤷ Hahahahahahahahahahahaha
⤷ Hahahahahahahahaha

-LOL So what did you do with the cloak? I got one too…

⤷ Droplet Garden: After the wedding, I just sold it at an auction


house for a cheap price haha.

⤷Please check your mail.

⤷Drop Garden: Bansongwan^^ (1 recommended, 28 not


recommended)

⤷?

⤷?

⤷??

⤷??

⤷Please check your mail.

⤷Mail

⤷ㅇㅍ

⤷Mail confirmation
⤷He’s fucked now haha.

-Hey, I’m just curious. Can you tell me how many capes have
arrived?

⤷Droplet Garden: Oh fuck, fifteen.

⤷ Hahahahahahahahahahaha

⤷ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

⤷ Hahahahahahahahahahaha

-Drop Garden: Is there anyone who wants a jet black cloak? Just put
a dot on it and it will be distributed…please

-Drop Garden: Hey

-Drop Garden: Oh my, how can I handle this?;;

⤷You go around with your sleeves tucked in too haha.

⤷ Droplet Garden: ㅅㅂ I’m going to be the same person as them.

‘What do you mean, you’re not wearing anything?’

Yun Ji-gu’s thoughts froze for a moment and he was about to take a
step back, but Yeo-woon grabbed hold of his hand. He got up from
the chair, placed Jigu Yoon’s hand on his waist, and tilted his head
slightly as if asking her to do something.

It felt like my breath had stopped. The white face looking up at her
was pretty. The eyes with clear borders are so sexy today.

‘Fuck!’

Yun Ji-gu cursed inwardly. The afterglow of today was beyond


anything I had ever imagined. How many times have you had
dreams about him? Even in his dream, Yun Ji-gu had a dream of
Yeo-woon chasing after him like a devil, holding a whip. The day I
dreamed of being spanked by his palm, I really wanted to commit
suicide. Not anymore…. Anyway, when I think back to a few days
ago when I woke up in a cold sweat and washed my underwear, my
head hurts.

Compared to that, Lee Yeo-woon in reality was no different from an


angel. The strange fake taste of beating people with a stick is now
gone, and the feel of my skin and my voice are real. The lingering
sight before my eyes was real.

As if possessed, Jigu Yoon slipped his hand inside the large T-shirt.
Yeowoon’s body flinched as cold fingers slid over his warm skin.
“Tsk.”

Yoon Ji-gu’s mind became a mess at the sound of a small moan.

What should I do, what am I doing now? My heart was pounding


wildly. I suddenly became out of breath and my head felt dizzy.
However, I was afraid that if I let out a rough breathing sound, I
would look too perverted. Yeowoon always pushes himself to the
limit. On the other hand, I was smiling very leisurely. He first
seduced me in broad daylight, but kept it to himself….

That was a little, no, very unfair.

“uh? “Wait a minute.”

Ji-gu Yoon hugged Yeo-woon tightly and pushed her into the wall.
Yeo-woon was unconsciously dragged and struggled, but it was
nothing more than a cute act of defiance. Yeo-woon glanced down at
the hand that was blocking my escape route, leaning on the wall to
prevent me from escaping, and burst out laughing.

“what? “I’ve seen it somewhere.”

“….”

it’s annoying. He was so obnoxious. Ji-gu Yoon tilted his head and
kissed Yeo-woon on the lips. Then I placed my lips on his and faced
him. Yeo-woon looked at herself without even closing her eyes, then
raised one hand and pulled Ji-gu Yoon by the neck.
“Huh….”

The lips parted and the tongue pushed in. The game BGM sound
was still playing from the speaker on the desk, and he was kissing
Yeowoon. I have never felt my heart beating more vividly than today.
Blood rushed downwards. This was force majeure. No, Lee Yeowoon
sucked my tongue first…!

“Earth.”

“yes….”

“You can touch it.”

Yeowoon whispered. He timidly fumbled around his waist and directly


guided Yun Ji-gu’s hand, which had stopped at that point, further
inward. My fingers slipped through the gap in my pants, which had
no waistband and were slightly loose. Ji-gu Yoon buried his hands in
his pants without thinking and belatedly realized that something was
strange. There was nothing to get in the way.

“Really, no panties….”

“That’s right.”

The buttocks were so soft that I could hold them in one hand. It
seemed like the air conditioner was set to the lowest temperature,
but my whole body was hot. Am I really crazy? Why are you doing
this to me today? . Ji-gu Yoon was cornered by another crisis in his
life. In my heart, I wanted to rush in and devour Lee Yeo-woon right
away. I wanted to rub mine on his face, suck on every part of his
body, and leave my mark. But at the same time, I felt scared.

“I’m already standing.”

Yeowoon’s hand pressed down on my genitals. It’s the same for me


too. I really wanted to die from the tone of voice that treated me so
shamelessly. I just wanted to evaporate. i love it. Good…It was a
little sad.

“My brother… Is this why I’m meeting you?”

“huh.”

“…yes?”

Unbelievable. Yun Ji-gu’s world collapsed.

“why? I can’t do it with anyone else but you. We wanted to meet to


do something like this.”

“…ah.”

After listening to it, I found it quite persuasive. Hey, who else would
you do this with other than me….

“ah…! Oh, I almost missed it. Don’t be a rip-off.”


“And you said that was it. Chastity before marriage.”

“what.”

“We just got married, so we can spend our first night together,
right?”

“so… You’re going to fuck me today?”

“… Uh, huh?”

Is this why you asked me to marry you today? Anyway, Lee Yeo-
woon speaks very well. I felt like if I just calmed down a little, I would
be persuaded quickly. Yun Ji-gu sighed.

“We’ve been dating for a day?”

“You’ve been dating for a long time. And you know that’s not
something you should say while massaging my ass.”

“…He told me to touch it. And my brother first…! Oh, my head


hurts.”

“You wanted to do it with me too, so you put on a show in front of


me saying you didn’t like it for half a year, but now why are you
saying something different? “Why are you scared to actually do it?”

“under! “Why am I scared?”


“Yoon Ji-gu is a pervert.”

…losing? The words came up to my chin, but I kept my mouth shut.


I could hear the cat wheel spinning in the living room. Opening the
door so everyone can hear is not good for your cat’s emotional
education. Because he is an underage cat, not even two years old
yet. Yun Ji-gu pulled his hand out from Yeo-woon’s pants and turned
his head glumly.

“Then let’s go to the room first! If you do it here, when you play
games at night… Because I feel like I’ll keep thinking about it.”

Lee Yeo-woon laughed. Fuck, I felt like I was going to die because I
was out of breath.

***

Yeo-woon knelt between the legs of Yun Ji-gu, who was sitting on
the bed. Ji-gu Yoon, whose face was already on the verge of
exploding, needed some time to calm down. I was afraid that if I
took off his clothes all of a sudden, he would be very surprised, so I
only took off half of them.

He said it as if he didn’t like it, but the tip of his penis was already
wet. When she pulled down her underwear before a large object
broke through the fabric, something white, snake-like, jumped out,
hit her stomach, and came right in front of Yeo-woon’s eyes.

‘big.’

Yeowoon swallowed his saliva as he faced an object that was bigger


than he expected. Aside from not being able to fit all of it in my
mouth, the male dick is prettier than I thought…. Even if you hold it
with both hands, there is still length left. Of course, it was my first
time seeing an erect penis this close. The size itself was quite
burdensome, but perhaps because of the color, it looked a little
lovely. Above all, it looked exactly like Yoon Ji-gu, with the tip turning
red and transparent liquid flowing from the tip.

“Why do you keep looking at me! I’m really annoyed….”

“Because I look like you.”

“Do I suck?”

“It looks similar….”

“What a resemblance!”

Yun Ji-gu got angry, but Yeo-woon listened to him with one ear and
let it go with the other. And he clumsily grasped his genitals. I was
so surprised that I had no objection to a man’s dick.

‘No, I guess it’s because it’s from Earth.’


Yeo-woon looked up at Yun Ji-gu, who was suppressing a sob.
When our eyes meet, he quickly looks away first. This gave me a
strange feeling, as if I was eating a man whose neck was bright red
and whose thighs were trembling.

“ah….”

I just stuck out my tongue and gently licked the wet glans. This
alone gave Yoon Ji-gu a huge response. If you look at it that way,
Yoon Ji-gu’s every action from the beginning made him leap forward
more than anyone else. He already seemed cute enough to me
before I even thought we’d end up in a relationship like this. If you
think about it, it was a really strange thing.

The shape of the glans, the degree to which it is slightly curved to


the right, and the white vein slightly protruding at the root. Yeowoon
opened his mouth while massaging his genitals as if analyzing every
nook and cranny.

“Ugh, huh…!”

I held on to the end. Even though it was only the glans, my mouth
felt full. The liquid that touched my tongue had a strange taste. It is
thicker and hotter than water. When I used my tongue to stimulate
the penis, the thigh under my hand became as hard as a stone.

The room was quiet, perhaps because the door was closed and
locked. The sound of the air conditioner running, the sound of dick
being sucked, and Yun Ji-gu’s moans. Perhaps because of the
auditory stimulation, I felt blood rushing to the area below me that
wasn’t even touched. Yeowoon stimulated the base of the penis with
one hand and held the glans in his mouth and rolled it with his
tongue. The hand that was hovering in the air landed on my hair.

“good?”

“…brother.”

As Yeowoon mumbled with his penis in his mouth, Jigu Yoon took a
deep breath. When I looked up at him, Yun Ji-gu had a face I had
never seen before. Her eyebrows were twisted as if she was going
to cry, and she seemed angry somehow, but she was definitely not
angry or trying to cry. The earth, drenched in excitement, looks like
this. Thinking like that, Yeowoon bit deeper into what he said. At
some point, the hand that was playing with my head was helping me
move my head forward. He stuffed his dick into Yeowoon’s mouth
without going too far.

“Ugh, bro… Huh!”

It was nice to hear the moan mixed with the watery sound. My chin
was tingling because my penis had grown so much that I couldn’t
handle it. My jaw was sore from opening my mouth to its limit, and
the area around my mouth and the inside of my pants were just as
wet as Yun Ji-gu’s. Still, I didn’t want to touch my own while sucking
someone else’s, so I gently rubbed down on the floor. Just as I was
about to vomit out the twitching penis in my mouth and give my jaw
joint a break for a moment, the glans twitched and lukewarm liquid
covered my face.

“Ah, ugh, ugh…!”


“…!”

The semen that came out in a rush of water got on my cheeks and
forehead, then ran down my skin and landed on my lips and the
corner of my left eye.

Yun Ji-gu, who was staring blankly at the lingering image with
blurred eyes, looked at my semen. And then his fingers moved
slowly as if he was spreading it on his lips. It was so absurd that I
burst out laughing.

“…What’re you doing?”

“…!”

Yeo-woon asked quietly, and only then did his dazed eyes return.
Yoon Ji-gu became restless and lowered his posture as if he was
about to collapse. He got down from the bed, took off his jacket, and
wiped Yeowoon’s face thoroughly.

“are you okay? “Did you get anything in your eyes?”

“huh.”

“Ah, really, why all the fuss except then? Oh, well, I didn’t mean to
cum in your mouth.”

“Yes….”
“Really, seriously, I didn’t mean to do this.”

Jigu Yoon spoke gibberish as if making excuses. Yeo-woon listened


quietly to his words and suddenly kissed him. Yun Ji-gu, who froze
for a moment, turned his head and opened his mouth. He knew how
to respond to kisses quite well by now. Although I still fall into the
category of not being able to do it.

Yeo-woon looked at Yun Ji-gu, who was kissing her from the lips to
the corner of his mouth, as if he couldn’t let go even after the kiss,
and asked in a humorous tone.

“Earth.”

“yes?”

“Do you want to kiss the mouth that sucked yours?”

“…Oh, fuck!”

Yun Ji-gu’s expression wrinkled as if he hadn’t even thought about


that. Dirty, dirty! He belatedly stuck out his tongue and wiped it on
his t-shirt, but it was already too late. Yeo-woon bit the lip of Yoon Ji-
gu, who had a face that said he wanted to die.

Only then did Ji-gu Yoon stop making a fuss about how dirty it was.
He seems to have calmed down a bit now, but his eyebrows haven’t
fully straightened because he was still angry. Yeowoon smiled faintly
and pressed his hand to his forehead to smooth out the wrinkles.
Yun Ji-gu’s face turned as red as a peach. I could clearly feel my
heart pounding as if I was dying of joy.

He laid Yeowoon down on the bed, hugging him. The person who
asked me if he was meeting me for this purpose now seemed very
excited. He pulled down Yeowoon’s pants, looked at his bulging
genitals, and asked.

“me too…Do I have to do it?”

“You don’t have to.”

I don’t know if it’s something to give, but I didn’t really prefer


receiving it. I didn’t like the feeling of being immersed in pleasure
while showing my shame to the other person.

“I want to do it too.”

Yun Ji-gu muttered with half-opened eyes and pressed his lower
body against each other. Yeowoon closed his legs in shock and
looked down. I didn’t realize it because I didn’t take it off yesterday,
but when they face each other like this, the size of that thing looks
even more sinister. No matter how long it has been since I
ejaculated, my recovery is really fast.

But he doesn’t really know how to swim, so how did he get so big?
Does that mean exercising? Yeowoon looked down and muttered
without realizing it.

“brother! “Please don’t say things like that.”


“You’re complaining again.”

Yeo-woon pinched Yun Ji-gu’s cheek and stretched it to the point


where it didn’t hurt. Ji-gu Yoon held his cheek and shook slightly,
closing his eyes tightly.

“…Oh, my head hurts.”

“Why the hair?”

“You don’t have to know!”

“What are you saying….”

Even if you worry, it’s a mess. Yeowoon turned his head and looked
around.

“why?”

“Do you have any lotion or something?”

It seemed unlikely that Jigu Yoon would have something like gel at
home. I was able to know for sure whether it was because I first
researched the size of Yun Ji-gu by mouth. I guess it’s a bit…to put
something like that in without anything. .

“Lotion?”
He tilted his head as if puzzled, asked me to wait a moment, and in
less than 30 seconds, he came looking for lotion with his huge penis
shaking. Yeo-woon took the lotion he handed her and immediately
opened the lid and poured it onto Yoon Ji-gu’s. Yun Ji-gu was
startled by the feel of the cold lotion.

“Tongue, bro!”

“Stay still, please.”

“Ugh!”

No matter what I did, he kept freaking out and flinching like this,
making me feel like a perverted dog. The real pervert is Yoon Ji-
gu….

“….”

Oh, it’s so fucking big…. No matter how I looked at it, it seemed


impossible. Should that go in the back? Doesn’t it break right away?
I just unpacked it while taking a shower in the morning….

“What are you solving?”

Ji-gu Yoon did not miss the words he muttered without realizing it.
With a puzzled look on his face, he squeezed Yeo-woon’s hand,
which had been fiddling with his own, getting it wet.

“What do you unpack while taking a shower?”


Yeowoon was embarrassed by his reaction and closed his eyes.

“Oh, no….”

“It’s true that you came here to fuck me.”

“….”

I couldn’t deny it. Yesterday, Yoon Ji-gu didn’t go to bed and left
without going to bed, insisting that I have to feed the cat, so I was
so angry that I decided to come.

“What did you do?”

“…by hand.”

“Show me.”

“….”

I was speechless. You want me to do that in front of you? Ji-gu Yoon


came in, spreading Yeo-woon’s legs, and made a request with a
bright red face.

“Show me.”

Ji-gu Yoon grabbed Yeo-woon’s legs and forced him to kneel. And
he even took my hand and kindly brought it down. The back of my
neck was as red as a tomato because I was embarrassed, and I
didn’t hesitate to do anything.

“W-what are you talking about? “You’ve already done everything?”

Yeo-woon, who stuttered without realizing it, tried to close his legs.
But Yoon Ji-gu, who came in between them, was faster.

“Why did you do it alone? It’s really absurd. I want to see you too….”

He grabbed his penis and rubbed it between Yeowoon’s legs, who


were trying to withdraw. My slippery penis was smeared with lotion.
The head of the glans pressed down against the perineum and
pressed between the buttocks. Although I tried to loosen my back, it
was still impossible to feel my back like the men in the video. Instead
of feeling it, I just felt dirty from the unfamiliar foreign body
sensation. Meanwhile, Ji-gu Yoon continued to complain, as if he
was very dissatisfied.

The penis that was persistently rubbing the perineum and hole
seemed as if it would burrow inward at any moment. I
underestimated Yun Ji-gu’s size. If that thing comes in like that, the
minimum death is. Feeling a sense of crisis, Yeo-woon raised his
foot and pushed Ji-gu Yoon’s shoulder, raising his body at an angle.

“Okay, okay…!”

“hurry.”

“….”
Damn, if I had known this would happen, I would have attacked at
night.

Even though the lights were off, it was so bright outside that we
could see each other very clearly. My face felt hot for no reason.
Yeowoon rubbed the bottom covered with white lotion and opened
the tightly closed bottom with his fingers. As one finger dug deep
into it, Jigu Yoon let out a gasping sound. The corners of his eyes
are red. He was still holding his leg tightly and looking down
obsessively.

Yeowoon narrowed his eyes, stretched his fingers into two, and
twirled them inside. To be honest, it was just painful and unpleasant.
Nevertheless, I couldn’t stop what I was doing because Jigu Yoon
didn’t even blink and was breathing heavily. I never dreamed that I
would put my finger in my backside in front of anyone. Because of
Yoon Ji-gu, there were many firsts in my life that I would not have
known about. my first man A large penis was bouncing between my
legs.

“Do it like you did on your own. i miss you.”

“… It’s just similar.”

“lie.”

Ji-gu Yoon grabbed Yeo-woon’s legs and pushed him up. Yeowoon’s
body became more rounded. He put one leg on his shoulder to
prevent it from falling down, and held one thigh firmly in place,
covering it with his hand over Yeowoon’s hand.
“…!”

Yun Ji-gu’s fingers played with the finger stuck between the holes,
and then he slowly inserted his middle finger inside. Yeowoon’s eyes
opened wide. It seems that what he had solved clumsily on his own
was not enough. It felt like my back was going to be torn apart with
just three fingers. It hurts, it hurts…. I couldn’t tell him to get rid of it
or put his foot down on Yun Ji-gu. Because he is too absorbed.
Because he was making the excited expression he made when I
was sucking his dick.

Ji-gu Yoon blinked and poured all the remaining lotion onto Yeo-
woon’s butt. The slippery liquid acted as a lubricant and helped the
fingers expand the back. Every time the hand was slowly,
sometimes roughly, dug inside, the sound of the thump was vivid.
Even though I was being stabbed in the back, I felt faint because my
penis was not dead yet.

It didn’t stop there, Yoon Ji-gu entangled my fingers inside the inner
wall. I thought it was an illusion, but he was more absorbed in
fiddling with Yeowoon’s hand than in expanding the interior. Yun Ji-
gu’s fingers were much longer and thicker than mine. I could feel the
protruding joints underneath. …Upset. Yeo-woon’s teeth were
clenched because he scratched against the inner wall when he got
out.

“Ugh….”

A moan escaped between tightly closed lips. Yun Ji-gu is looking at a


place that even he has never seen before. Yeo-woon looked at the
man absorbed in his actions and hurriedly withdrew his finger and
hid it behind his back.
“what! “Why don’t you do it?”

“Why are you looking in there like that? “Are you really a pervert?”

“losing.”

“…losing? “Do you think I’m very comfortable now?”

“….”

“Come on.”

Yeo-woon glared at Yun Ji-gu, who was still fiddling with his hole,
and pulled his neck. And just like that, we kissed. Jigu Yoon naturally
opens his lips and gently sticks out his tongue. However, he did not
stop poking the narrow hole with his fingers.

‘I’m sick, but he’s really excited. ‘I didn’t even know I gave in.’

Yeowoon endured, imagining hitting him on the head with her fist.

They say that even men can feel it if you poke them somewhere.
The story I heard somewhere is a lie. Get some guidance! It just
hurt so bad. A man can never feel backwards. When I think about it
again, the men in the video are probably people who have taken
stimulants to go crazy or enjoy being sick.

His finger twirled inside and came out. The transparent lubricating
fluid that had been spread so much stretched out between my flesh
and fingers and then suddenly broke off. Ji-gu Yoon wiped his wet
hands on Yeo-woon’s thighs.

“Yah.”

When I muttered as if scolding him, he just blinked as if asking what


was the problem. Yun Ji-gu’s bangs were soaked with sweat and
cracked. The air was so muggy. It was summer.

“Brother, hehe, I can’t take it anymore.”

“Hold on. You cummed once earlier.”

“…Don’t talk dirty. I’m really annoyed.”

He frowned and played with Yeowoon’s penis. The genitals, which


were a little droopy, quickly regained their firmness under Yun Ji-gu’s
touch.

ah…Fucked?

It feels like Jigu Yoon’s is bigger than before. He rubbed a large


object between my legs. Yun Ji-gu’s excited face is pretty. I liked his
face. It was also fun to see her breasts slightly shiny and wet with
sweat. But it seems like this was still a bit premature. The thought of
being screwed filled Yeowoon’s mind. If that thing comes in…Really
dying.

“Wait a minute, Earth. What about condoms?”


“I don’t know how to write.”

“…You learn everything during sex education class at school. Didn’t


you tell me about your time? I heard they even do practical training
these days? no?”

“I don’t know, maybe I slept?”

“Why are you sleeping at school?”

“Ugh, huh, …Or maybe I’m the only one who didn’t learn it. I don’t
go to school very well.”

“…Oh, it’s okay, it’s okay. I know. I’ll let you know.”

“But I don’t have anything like that at home.”

“….”

Wow, you really fucked up?

The school that gave delinquent student Yoon Ji-gu a diploma must
be closed. What the hell did you teach me!

Yeo-woon’s face turned pale at the fact that he had made up his
mind but didn’t bring the most important supplies. A heavy, hot
object was pressed against the hole. It felt like the hole that had
been pressed down was already getting sore.
“Can I keep it in?”

“….”

“Not done yet?”

He muttered regretfully and ran his finger over the hole pressed by
his penis. It was obvious that if I said no yet, he would start poking
me with his hands and harassing me again. Yeo-woon looked down
at Yun Ji-gu’s with bleary eyes, based on the fact that three of his
fingers had entered. Maybe it was because I was out of my mind,
but I thought it would be okay to just add this.

“…okay.”

“Can I?”

“….”

The words “Ahhhh” appear overlaid on the face. His eyes sparkle as
if he really caught it. Excited and funny. As Yeowoon smiled and
nodded, Jigu Yoon’s heart swelled with anticipation. He took a sharp
breath and lowered his upper body toward the lingering breath.
Yeowoon wrapped one of her legs around his waist and raised her
head.

“You can kiss me…?”

Ji-gu Yoon placed his forehead against mine and whispered a


question. I couldn’t help but find it cute that my lover gave me
permission to kiss as much as I wanted, but gave me permission to
do everything. A lingering feeling rang in my throat and I smiled,
“Yes.” When he answered, Ji-gu Yoon kissed the corner of his
mouth, making a sound.

“brother.”

“Is this a kiss?”

“… I will do it soon.”

He groaned and lightly kissed me on the lips again. Yeo-woon


brushed aside Yun Ji-gu’s sweaty hair. I remember the first time I
met him on the street. He was feeding the cat, and among the
people Yeo-woon had met in her life, there was no one who was
more wary of her than Ji-gu Yoon. You’re so handsome. He
muttered, stroking his hair. Yun Ji-gu’s ears instantly turned bright
red.

This is a face that stands out. But I had no idea that it would not
stop there and that we would end up rolling around in bed. If you
had expected it, you would be quite the pervert.

“ah…!”

“Ugh, bro….”

Oh, fuck! Jigu Yoon As soon as this bastard kissed me, he started
pushing his dick into me. The kiss left me speechless. I wanted to
curse, but I couldn’t speak. My head really got hot. I will beat Yoon
Ji-gu to death. They will rip out all your hair and make you bald.

I soaked the hole sufficiently and thought it would be fine, but it


seems it wasn’t enough at all. I wasn’t even able to get my glans
fully in yet, but I already wanted to scream surrender. My toes
curled as I felt unfamiliar pain for the first time in my life. It hurts, it
hurts so much. It was good to attack with courage, but it was very
painful. I felt the lingering emotion again. A man cannot feel
backwards.

“Hyung, wow, I really, really like you.”

Ji-gu Yoon said. He shook his head violently and kissed various
parts of Yeowoon’s face as she rubbed her cheek against the pillow.
Kiss and all, fuck. It hurt so much that I felt like I was going out of
my mind.

“Ugh, it hurts….”

What should I do, I’m more hurt, it’s a dog!

“… What about you?”

it hurts!

“i like you. really….”

Do not lie! How can you hurt someone you love like this!
Yeo-woon pulled the hair of Ji-gu Yoon, who was talking nonsense,
and bit his lip. I was so angry because it hurt. A colonoscopy
requires at least sedation, but Ji-gu Yoon did not even give himself
an anesthetic. Yeo-woon lightly sucked Yoon Ji-gu’s lips and spit out
the thoughts in his head without hesitation.

“… I like it too.”

“…!”

It was that moment. Yun Ji-gu’s entire body turned red and
hardened like a stone, and soon an unpleasant sensation poured
down. Yeowoon looked up at him with a puzzled face. Ji-gu Yun was
more embarrassed than Yeo-woon and leaned back.

“….”

“….”

What are you doing? Yeowoon burst out laughing in embarrassment.


Yoon Ji-gu ejaculated inside me, barely even able to insert the glans.
I don’t know if it’s because he told me he likes me, or if it’s for some
other reason. Yoon Ji-gu turned bright red without even having time
to control the liquid pouring out from behind him. More than any
other time.

“Oh, no, I’ll do better now. Oh, fuck! “I can do well!”

Yeowoon could not miss the opportunity given to him.


“No, I’m fine. Let’s do it next time.”

This is an operational setback.

“… No, bro!”

“Today you… You must be tired.”

Yeowoon frowned, pretending to be troubled. And the cause of all


these problems was attributed to Ji-gu Yoon.

“I-I-I’m not a premature ejaculator!”

“….”

“no, …brother? Brother, don’t you believe me? Look at me! brother!”

“Let’s take a shower.”

I’m embarrassed right now, but you never know when that kind of
Yoon Ji-gu might change. I have no choice but to jump out quickly.
Yeowoon quickly closed his legs and got up to wash first. He
breathed a sigh of relief.

‘Wow, I almost lost my life.’

The semen pouring out from behind felt very pleasant. Thanks to
this, lifespan was extended.
***

Life always requires caution. Through this incident, Yeowoon realized


that if you judge hastily and rush, you will end up in blood. I also
thought that people are quick to realize something after experiencing
it with their own bodies. The will to attack Yun Ji-gu disappeared like
melting snow.

Who in the world likes being in pain? But the pain Yeo-woon felt that
day was on a different level from the pain she had experienced so
far, so she was even more reluctant to do so.

If there was one thing he was a little worried about, it was Yoon Ji-
gu. This was because I had no idea what to do if he, who was
dissatisfied with not being able to reach the end, attacked me with
his body as a weapon. I was a little afraid that if I flatly refused, he
would be hurt because of his weakness.

Yeo-woon has now decided to admit that he is particularly weak


towards Yoon Ji-gu. That doesn’t mean I will grant all of Yoon Ji-gu’s
requests, but at least it made me reconsider what others said.

‘but….’

Things did not go as Yeowoon expected. Ji-gu Yoon looked at my


face all day that day and just blushed, and he never spoke about the
incident directly after that. Yeowoon was greatly relieved. You don’t
have to blame your lover to his face, saying, ‘I guess we were in too
much of a hurry. ‘For now.’ And it was nice not having to say no. It
was such a relief.

Ji-gu Yoon said that the workload at the cafe had suddenly
increased tremendously, so he took a break from swimming for the
entire week the following week. When Yeo-woon, who had gone to
the swimming pool after work, naturally went to Cafe Earth, Yoon Ji-
gu kept his lips tightly pressed and gave a hint. It didn’t seem much
different from when he dealt with other guests, but the corners of his
mouth twitched slightly every time. Yeo-woon thought that was Yoon
Ji-gu’s own special treatment. I liked him like that.

It seems that the Earth, like me, has decided to forget about that
day and move on. Yeowoon thought so. However, there was an
opportunity that changed his thoughts.

It happened one evening. It was when I formed a party with Ji-gu


Yoon and were farming materials to add options to weapons. Cat
Meow Meow suddenly sent a whisper asking him to join the party,
and Yeowoon felt a little sorry for him and immediately invited him to
the party.

‘Nyankyangnyangnyang joined the party.’

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Ah haha, I’m really upset these days
haha.

As soon as he entered the party, he started complaining. These


days, really strange things have started happening around Cat
Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow Meow. Just like the Earth
Star he was when we first met, this stubborn guy started following
him around.

[Party] neutaaaa: Why? Because of a guy like Earth Star? LOL

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Are you suddenly criticizing me?

[Party] neutaaaa: What ㅡㅡ

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: No, what is something like me?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Why are you comparing me to other guys?

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh, what does it meanㅡㅡ

He didn’t even give me time to reply and continued talking to


himself. He probably would have been able to speak faster than
himself even if one of his hands was tied and he had to type with
only the other hand.

[Party] neutaaaa: It’s cute hahaha

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Ah haha ♡

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Yes!! >_<LOL

[Party] Cat Meow Meow: Quite a tonna…


[Party] Cat Meow Cat: Oh really…I can’t get used to the concept.
Newta, please stop taking drugs;;;;;

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Huh?

[Party] Cat cat cat: I got PTSD;;

[Party] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: I picked the wrong person. I should


have just gone to a random party.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Hahahaha I won’t stop you from going now!><

[Party] Cat Meow Meow: I won’t say no^^

Yeo-woon and Yun Ji-gu formed a party and spoke informally when
playing, but when other guild members came in or strangers were
seen, they changed their conversation to polite language. Although
the guild members were disgusted and said, ‘Newta has become like
the planet Earth,’ they liked it as is. Thanks to that, even if I call him
a nickname every now and then, everyone thinks it’s a joke.

Because of this, it felt like I was having a secret love affair with the
planet Earth. …Well, if you ask me, it is true that it is a secret
relationship.

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: No

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: She was yesterday


[Party] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: I put up that wanted message on
my nightstand and spent money on it?

[Party] neutaaaa: Is he a beginner? I heard you haven’t even had


your first job change yet.

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Yes!!!!!!!!!!

[Party] neutaaaa: Looks like you have a lot of money…ㅠㅠ I’m


jealous

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: Are you a beggar, Newta?

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Can I give you some? poor….

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I’m jealous of the poor guy. It breaks
my heart.

[Party] neutaaaa: No, I have money. It’s a lot haha.

Anyway, how can you take money from a child? Anyway, cat cat
loves to scoop things up. He was good at his job, but sometimes he
seemed like a brat.

Still, Yeowoon liked his good side. So, whenever Kitty Nyangna Cat
secretly boasted about herself, she and other guild members would
subtly compliment her by saying things like, ‘I really respect you,’ or
‘You’re the best.’ Then, the proud cat with a raised nose looked like
a boy of that age.
[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Anyway, I was wondering if it was
something that Gaji wanted from her yesterday…I’ve been thinking
about it even at school.

[Party] neutaaaa: Huh?

[Party] Kitty Meow Nanny Meow: It’s a bit awkward to say this out of
my mouth haha, but I have a good memory, right?

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: But I really don’t remember that
elementary school experience;; I don’t even know who it is

[Party] neutaaaa: Then wouldn’t it just be Tto/Rye?

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ㅡㅡShould I be good?

Cat Meow Cat swung the bazooka wildly in the air. Seeing that he
was performing the show alone, he seemed quite annoyed today as
well. It was worth it. There was a time when I had an Earth Star that
followed me around like a stalker.

Yeowoon recalled his first encounter with Earth. He had someone


else knock him out and kill him in one fell swoop, and with his fast
and flashy typing, he only chose obscene words. He was a doctor
who cured people’s low blood pressure.

On the other hand, I heard that beginners who follow around like
cats and dogs are gentle and do not cause any harm. Of course, it
wasn’t a heavily drugged cat cat, but something I heard from
another guild member. The newbie sometimes asked for the server
micro location, so he didn’t seem to be a particularly harmful person.

It seems like he just respects the cat. A year ago, compared to the
planet Earth, the scale of his evil deeds was too small and the cute
beginner was like a newborn chick in Yeo-woon’s eyes, cute in his
own way.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Hmm, shouldn’t I just be agile and avoid it?

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: What are you talking about? How do you
avoid that? Damage follows.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: Proof is possible haha

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ?

[Party] ㅈi9Star: Hahaha catch me~>_<

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: What is it?

Earth Star and Cat Meow Cat suddenly started playing tag in the
guild zone. Yeowoon understood the situation just by looking at the
silhouettes of the characters moving on the mini map. Kitten cat
chased after Earthstar, but Earthstar, who had devoted her entire
life to the speed of movement, bounced around as if to appease
him. He walked around the map, came to Yeowoon’s side again, and
jumped up.

[Party] ㄴㅇㅅ: I picked up new equipment and it got faster haha


[Party] ㅈi9Star: It’s proven, right? If you run away as fast as me,
you’ll never get caught even if they find out your location, right??

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow Meow!

Kitty Meow, who came back late, used the expression of admiration.
As Meownyangnyangyang, who had pointy cat ears on top of her
head, stamped her feet with sparkling eyes, Earthstar put her hand
on her waist and raised her head, shrugging.

If you look closely, Yoon Ji-gu was on a really good level with Cat
Meow Meow Meow, who is still a high school student. Even though
they pretend to hate each other, they play well with the little boy, and
they are both really cute….

[Party] Cat Meow Cat: Earth Star, then please show me the
equipment options…. I’ll just use it for reference.

[Party] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅇ opened! >_<

[Party] Cat cat cat: ㄱㅅㄱㅅ

[Party] Kitty Nyangnyangnyang: Ah ㅅㅂCancel, copy this.

[Party] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha ^_^v

Cat Meow Cat quickly changed its stance and kicked towards the
Earth Star. Earthstar quickly climbed up the telephone pole to avoid
his kicks.
“….”

Well, the more I look at it, the weirder it gets. He was faster and
more talkative than anyone else in the game. If you turn off the
game, you become a different person. How can they be so
different? If Yun Ji-gu hadn’t told him directly, Yeo-woon wouldn’t
have realized for a hundred years that he and Ji-gu were the same
person.

[Party] neutaaaa: You’re quick to distinguish.

[Party] ㅈi9 Star: ㅁ

As Yeowoon complimented him, the Earth Star seen on the minimap


stopped at the top of the telephone pole. Why did you suddenly stop
after all this fuss? It was a moment when Yeowoon had doubts.

‘Ji9 Star has left the party.’

‘Ji9 Star has terminated the connection.’

“…what?”

[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Looks like he was talking like a dog
and got kicked out…

[Party] neutaaaa: I guess so.


Ji-gu Yoon suddenly left the game. And I didn’t log in for a while, but
finally logged in again after 10 minutes. Since we live in the same
building, it couldn’t have been a power outage, and it really seems
like another program was conflicting, causing the game client error.

But it didn’t end there. Yun Ji-gu’s eccentric journey did not stop
here. Even though he was chatting well with himself and other guild
members, he often left without saying a word at very unexpected
times. Even when Yeo-woon asks if the computer is a bit old, Ji-gu
Yoon remains silent and just says, ‘Haha, I guess so?’ And I just
laughed. And it wasn’t until a week later that Yeowoon was able to
get a glimpse of the reason.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Earth

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Yes?

[Couple] neutaaaa: I’m jealous hahaha

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Where are you going?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Because it’s fast….

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: That’s right

‘Ji9 Star has left the party.’

‘Ji9 Star has terminated the connection.’


It was a very transparent response.

“This was it….”

Every time Yoon Ji-gu said that he was ‘fast’, he immediately


reacted as if he was shocked. And after 10 minutes, I logged back
into the game as if something had happened. You’ll have to hear the
detailed reason to find out, but I can roughly guess it.

Did you care that you ejaculated too quickly that day?

“You didn’t seem to care at all.”

When we met face to face, he didn’t even mention what happened


that day and acted extremely calm, so I guess he was still paying
attention to that. Otherwise, there is no reason to be so surprised
and leave the game. So, even if it wasn’t 100 percent, it seemed
about 90 percent certain.

Did the Earth bounce again?

Ji-gu Yoon

No, Yoonpo-song Lee Ja-sik turns off the power to all outlets again;;

Ji-gu Yoon

Ugh ㅡㅡ
Oh my, that’s right…ㅠㅠ You watch it

I was able to get Ha Seon-yong’s wrist caught in It’s a 100% Lie.


Now he’s blaming the cat. It’s probably fortunate for Yoon Ji-gu that
cats don’t know how to speak human language.

Ji-gu Yoon

I’m connecting again haha I’m leaving soon!><

“….”

Yeowoon hesitated for a moment and then quickly moved his hand
on his phone.

soon? It’s fast after all

As soon as I pressed the ‘Send’ button, the number 1 next to the


speech bubble disappeared. Ji-gu Yoon, who said he would arrive
soon, did not log into the game or answer the phone. He didn’t reply
for a long time and then belatedly sent me just one emoticon. It was
an emoticon of a cat getting angry with a grumpy face and hitting
the floor with its tail.

Ji-gu Yoon

Why are you calling again?


They said they would come quickly but they didn’t come. I wondered
if something had happened.

Ji-gu Yoon

Oh, don’t say <<, I’m going on my own even if I don’t see it.

Gran….

Come quickly!

Ji-gu Yoon

ㅡㅡ;;;

It was the moment when the 90% chance changed to 100%. I could
vividly imagine Yun Ji-gu’s face as if it were floating before my eyes.
It’s clear that he’s blushing and muttering that he’s annoyed.

“Is there really something in his head?”

Yeowoon chuckled as he looked at Earth Star’s nickname that had


changed online. He had almost forgotten everything, but it seems
like what happened that day was a huge shock to Yoon Ji-gu
himself.

Anyway, is it possible for him to live a normal life if he reacts so


sensitively to just the word ‘fast’?
***

‘Really, why are you like that? ‘What do you know to do that?’

Ji-gu Yoon blushed as he glared at Yeo-woon’s message. He


nervously entered his current feelings into the Internet search bar.
Below the mood expressed with two consonant letters, records of
his recent searches appeared.

He read other people’s posts about their concerns and sympathized


with them, and after reading serious posts, he comforted himself by
thinking, “I’m in a better situation than him.” When I read posts
about people breaking up with their partner because they didn’t get
along at night, I was so anxious that I might end up like that too, so I
started shaking my legs. I felt even more ashamed when I
remembered that even though I had ejaculated twice, I had never
had any lingering feelings that day.

While searching, Jigu Yoon happened to come across a blog. He


was perusing an article there, and when he looked at it all and read
the comments, everyone was laughing at the content of the article,
saying, ‘Isn’t it a drip? Hahahahahaha.’ Yun Ji-gu, who had been
reading the text with some doubt, finally felt relieved. For some
reason, the whole time I was watching it, I thought it was absurd for
a society where things like that work. My heart pounded, wondering
if I, too, would have to do something like that in front of Lee Yeo-
woon.

[Dating Tips] How to appeal to an older lover, men’s version ♥


(1000% effectiveness guaranteed!!)
Hello everyone^ㅇ^ This is a dating tip~!

Did everyone enjoy last holiday? I’m in a bad mood because the
weather has been bad since Monday.

These days, older women and younger men are the trend. There
are a lot of interesting dramas coming out!! I also really like younger
men. What do you guys think?

Today, we will learn about how to appeal to an older lover for men.

Try appealing to your older girlfriend with your freshness, cuteness,


and sometimes your unexpected charm.^^

[Method 1 recommended by Dating Tips] Let’s use a half belt!

If you are a man who usually uses polite language to your girlfriend,
why not try a little change in your speaking style this time? Your
heart will flutter at your boyfriend’s different way of speaking~^^
Wow!!!

ex. Sister, why is your face colored like that? Are you very unwell?

Sister, have you eaten seriously?

[Method 2 recommended by Dating Tips] Appeal to something that


only people of your age can do.
Keep this in mind! Women who date younger men date younger
men because men their age are relatively old and ugly, and normal
men are already sold out. So, think carefully about what only you
can do in your age group and appeal to it~

ex. Sister, are the March mock exams really your CSAT scores? ㅅ
ㅂ,,

Udon was served for lunch at my school today, and I hope my sister
eats well too. i love you…♥

Oh, I can’t contact you this week because my homeroom teacher


took my phone. This is my friend’s phone.

[Method 3 recommended by Dating Tips] Sometimes give a surprise


gift

Receiving something when you least expect it! This is not a younger
person, and most people would be happy if Grandpa Sanshin, who
is meeting them for the first time, shows up and gives him a gift!
How about pretending to be indifferent and saying, ‘I picked it up
when I came?’

ex. (Handing the liquid monster) This is a gift. While shopping for
mine, I bought it because I thought it would look good on my sister.

[Method 4 recommended by Dating Tips] Let’s become obsessed!

Excessive obsession is a crime! (You should never do this!!!!XXXXX)


But showing cute jealousy will strengthen the relationship between
your girlfriend and the younger man. ♥ Anything in moderation is
best.

ex. You can’t go to your sister’s office…? ah. Anyway, there’s a guy
there too ㅡㅡ

We looked into the efforts of a younger boyfriend to make his older


girlfriend happy. Isn’t it really cute to see him trying so hard? For
your information, I really hate these methods.;;;;;;;;;;

Anyway, I hope that you, male friends, will read my post and feel a
lot of joy and find love~

Pop!

Ji-gu Yoon was so desperate that he was even slightly offended by


this ridiculous article. I know that if Yeo-woon were to see me like
this, I would be laughed at. Even though I knew this, I was so
anxious that I had no choice but to find articles like this on the
Internet and read a lot. The example in this article is too extreme,
but when I read the explanation, it seemed like a method that would
work in its own way.

Just thinking about that day gave me a headache. In Yeowoon’s


mind, it was obvious that he had been labeled as a premature
ejaculation bastard. It’s shameful to be embarrassed, but I also felt
sorry that I was so unprepared.

When I thought about it in hindsight, there was nothing I didn’t


regret. How pathetic did I look in Lee Yeo-woon’s eyes, as I soiled
Yeo-woon’s face without any warning and didn’t even know how to
use a condom?

But at the same time, it felt a little unfair. There are people who are
good at it from the beginning. Aren’t we all bad at first and then
gradually learn? Jigu Yoon grumbled inwardly. I wanted to
immediately knock on the door next door to draw out the lingering
feelings, shake him and make him understand everything. But if I do
that, Yeowoon might lose his affection for me. How hard did it take
to twist you into a relationship? !

‘What should I do? If I keep doing this, won’t I end up being


discarded because I’m too bad at it?’

Jigu Yoon pursed his lips and frowned. I didn’t want to remain just a
cute lover to him. I hope I look like an adult in Yeowoon’s eyes. I
know that not everyone becomes an adult just because they get
older. Ji-gu Yoon still seemed to have not escaped his high school
days where he wore school uniform. Although I have become an
adult, I feel like I am not yet an adult.

I wanted to be a dependable person that Yeo-woon Lee could rely


on with peace of mind. I hope that I am a lover that he can be proud
of. and…We must become more proficient and overcome the
disgrace of the past. I really don’t ejaculate prematurely, I’m not fast
at all.

That day, I was embarrassed when I heard that he liked me…. It


was real!

Yeowoon Lee
sleep well too

Yeowoon Lee

(emoticon)

Compared to her shortcomings, Yeowoon was truly a mature


person. Yun Ji-gu was a little thankful and anxious that he didn’t
bring up the story of that day or avoid himself for fear of
embarrassing himself. Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you
disappointed in me? Or is it Yeo-woon’s consideration?

Even though Yeo-woon’s face still gets hot at the meaningless word
‘fast’, that too will gradually improve over time.

Yun Ji-gu had a very impatient temper. Since I was young, if I


wanted something, I was anxious to get the result rather than the
process, and I really hated waiting. But in order to have this feeling,
you have to endure things you don’t like. Step by step, slowly. It was
a word that did not exist in Ji-gu Yoon’s dictionary, but Yeo-woon
changed himself. I didn’t hate seeing my appearance change
because of that.

I felt like I had been studying hard for the past year that I didn’t even
do when I was in school. I wanted Yeo-woon to feel and be satisfied
with me just as I felt good about myself. When I was with him, I felt
at ease and felt good even if I didn’t have to do anything in
particular. The same goes for relationships. It’s nice to do and you
desperately want to do it, but you shouldn’t hurt the afterglow when
you’re not ready like last time.
In short, I wanted to become proficient.

***

How much time has passed since then? Ji-gu Yoon, who was so
shocked and left the game when he was told he was fast, has
improved to the point where he no longer shows any reaction. Yeo-
woon felt a bit disappointed about that. It was cute to look shy….

“Oh right.”

There was something I was planning to say earlier at the swimming


pool, but I completely forgot about it. What is that that comes to
mind now?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Byung-ah

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ㅇㅇ?

[Couple] neutaaaa: I’m going to take a vacation this time.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Do you want to go to the beach together?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Why the sea?


[Couple] neutaaaa: It doesn’t matter if it’s not the sea

[Couple] neutaaaa: Let’s just go out and have fun together haha.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Can I go in the water even in this weather?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: But bro

[Couple] neutaaaa: Huh?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: …Are you sleeping?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Shouldn’t that be the case?

Why are you like this, you have nothing to do anyway. You can just
say you like it, but pretend to worry and make a fuss. Yeowoon
waited for his answer and told a joke.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Aren’t you thinking strange things? LOL

[Couple] neutaaaa: Perverted distinction

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ?? I haven’t said anything yet

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: The older brother who passes things off like that
is even more perverted haha;;

[Couple] neutaaaa: Uh;;


[Couple] neutaaaa: So are you going?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: That’s right.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Hehe, if you fall into the water, someone other
than me will save you - _-

In fact, if Yun Ji-gu said no, I wasn’t going to even apply for
vacation. Other than that, there was no one else I wanted to go on a
trip with this year.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Any date?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ㄱㄷㄱㄷ

He must have gone to check his schedule, so he left for a moment.


Then he came back about a minute later and said.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Well, Monday-Sunday doesn’t matter.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

[Couple] neutaaaa: I’ll keep this in mind

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: When you have a date, please let me know.
Excluding your part-time job at a cafe >_<
[Couple] neutaaaa: But isn’t the boss your mother? What are you
going to say and take it out?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Just…I’m going on a business trip because I’m


reasonably busy…

[Couple] neutaaaa: No, college students are on a business trip.


Would you believe that?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Oh, I’ll take care of it;; I’m my mom

[Couple] neutaaaa: What are you going to say?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Are you going to say that your lover told you to
quit your part-time job? LOL

At my words, Yun Ji-gu made a skill beep. Yoon Ji-gu climbed up the
ladder again with half of his HP lost due to fall damage from falling
from a high place.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Ajinjjaㅡㅡ

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: I almost died;;

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Are you playing with me now?


[Couple] neutaaaa: Yes, it’s fun haha

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ㅡㅡ;;

Jigu Yoon turned his temper towards me towards the monsters. He


swept the entire map in an instant and moved on to the next map,
taking Yeowoon with him.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: But bro

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: My brother brought up the travel story first, so I’ll
just say it out loud @_@ I need to be sure about things like this to
prepare.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: What are we doing that day?

“….”

Yeowoon laughed nervously. I knew it would be misunderstood. But


this time, the intention was really to go out and have fun together.
However, my suggestion seemed to Ji-gu Yoon like a modification.
Not really this time….

[Couple] neutaaaa: You said you were a virgin before marriage.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: ㅡㅡMy brother seduced me first.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Well, we got married><


[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: My brother was the one who asked me to go on
a trip and sleep first. So how should I interpret that? In movies, you
always say this when you go on a trip.
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Couple] neutaaaa: Games and movies are fake, we live in reality…


Come to your senses and don’t abandon your doctrine.

The unfamiliar pain of that day was still vivid in my mind. Actually, I
was still afraid. So I was just trying to turn it down in a nice way, but I
got an unexpected answer.

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: I haha just converted haha

[Couple] neutaaaa: ?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Star: Wooden Amitabha Buddha

[Couple] neutaaaa: Did you hit ㅁ1;

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: I prayed and asked Buddha and he said I could


do it with my brother haha.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Where are you now?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: It’s a house haha

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I know I looked pathetic to you, but


[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: In theory, I’m crazy now haha We’re meeting in
real life haha

“….”

This is real. Yeowoon quietly got up and put on slippers at the front
door. Then I opened the door, went out into the hallway, and rang
the doorbell next door. Ding dong, I heard the clear sound of the
doorbell.

“Yoon Ji-gu, come out.”

-….

“Hey, you come out right now. Aren’t you coming out?”

Yeowoon pounded on the door. As if he had heard my voice, the


door opened in less than 10 seconds. And in the meantime, Yun Ji-
gu, whose cheeks were red, looked at himself.

“Well, what?”

“Earth, what should we do?”

“….”

“I heard you’re good at theories. Explain what the theory is.”


“… Is there anything that comes to you in such a shameful way?”

“Why can’t you look at my face and say anything?”

“Ah, sir…! “Why did you come?”

Of course I came here to make fun of you. The more laughter


appeared in Yeowoon’s voice, the more Yunjigu blushed and gritted
his teeth. Even if you can say something in a message, it seems
embarrassing to say it face to face. Yeowoon pinched the cheek of
the keyboard warrior who lived next door and shook it so that it
didn’t hurt.

“Hey, Yoon Ji-gu.”

“… My child.”

Jigu Yoon muttered with a sulky face. The cheeks were stretched
out and the pronunciation was inaccurate.

“You’re not good at it in real life either.”

“Ha, you’ve only met me once, so you’re acting like you know me a
lot.”

“You have to speak properly. I stopped doing it.”

“…So give it a chance. There is a possibility that I can do well. Do


you know anything? “I wonder if my brother will cry because he feels
so fucking bad.”

“Who was it that was crying in front of me? “I don’t think so.”

“Oh, don’t start a fight. And if you’re going to give it a try without
even trying it, go for it! “I have to play a game!”

“After I leave, you’re going to say a lot of things you can’t say face-
to-face through chat again, right?”

Yun Ji-gu, who was pricked by my words, glared fiercely at himself


with his fierce eyes, and this time he averted his eyes first, as if he
was really annoyed. If I teased him a little more, he would even
chew up the text message. Yeowoon decided to take a step back at
this point.

“Okay, then I’ll go. Are we playing hard in the district game?”

“….”

The moment Yeo-woon, who was laughing, turned around, Yoon Ji-
gu grabbed his shoulder and quickly turned him around. He didn’t
even give Yeowoon a chance to panic and brought his angry face
closer. He kissed Yeo-woon on the lips exactly twice, from the side,
then pushed Yeo-woon away and went into the house, slamming and
locking the door.

“what?”
Yeo-woon, who was unexpectedly kissed and kicked out, looked
blankly at the front door slamming in front of her and laughed. Now I
know how to do some pretty cute things. My heart, which had been
completely unwilling, began to move just a little.

***

The two’s travel preparations went smoothly.

“Let’s see….”

Yeo-woon and Yun Ji-gu listened to and read the contents


summarized on A4 paper.

<Bob>

-B Makguksu: Makguksu is famous. There is a famous macaron


shop in the nearby market.

-Paragraph xx Raw fish restaurant A: Famous for raw fish.

-Gopchang restaurant at the main gate of S University: Famous for


tripe.
-D Fish Market: Lots of fish

-Y Grilled clams: Grilled clams are famous.

-Look further!

<What to bring>

-meat

-vegetable

-Kimchi and side dishes

-Swimsuit (full body swimsuit x)

<Go and do it>

-Sunrise in the morning

-swimming

-drive

-Making Yunjigu fish with sand

“….”
Now I see that Yun Ji-gu secretly drew a line on the sand fish and
erased it. How much I hate it…. It didn’t seem like he would be
accepted so easily.

When I went to another travel destination, another friend used Excel


to make a plan, from itinerary to budget, that was just as good as a
package tour. In comparison, the plan that the two people wrote
together with their heads together felt very shabby in comparison.

“When studying a plan, you must have made one since you started
using a planner….”

Yeowoon put down the paper somewhere and lay down.

“Let’s just play around, okay!”

I’m going to stick to my travel plan. It’s not about planning, just enjoy
it to the fullest. Yeo-woon stole his wages from work in his spare
time and made a reservation at an ocean view resort with a large
swimming pool in the basement. And Ji-gu Yoon was entrusted with
the task of finding other restaurants. Ji-gu Yoon brought the list back
in one day, and Yeo-woon marked the houses he mentioned one by
one on the map.

‘huh?’

Something was strange. I should have looked into it from the


moment snacks were piling up at Yun Ji-gu’s house. While there are
less than ten restaurants, the number of restaurants selling desserts
such as bakeries and macarons exceeds thirty. When I told him that
I would entrust him with the task of finding a good restaurant, he
looked like he was going to die of annoyance, and he seemed to
have worked very hard to find a restaurant according to his own
taste. Yeowoon marked the last macaron restaurant with a star on
the map and closed the app with a chuckle.

‘Hyung, this is my first time traveling without my family since high


school.’

While talking about the trip, Jigu Yoon muttered with a face flushed
with anticipation.

‘Oh, really? Are you talking about a school trip?’

‘What are you talking about! What a trip that is! ‘It’s the school
schedule!’

‘Oh my, my ears are sore. just wondering. When I was in high
school…With my friends?’

‘yes. Skipping school and going to Incheon to eat grilled clams….’

‘omg…. it was tasty?’

‘Just, well…’ . It was worth eating.’

Anyway, he seems very excited to be going out with someone who


isn’t his family for the first time in several years, and that’s with
someone he likes. On the desk calendar in Yun Ji-gu’s house, the
date of the two people’s trip was drawn with five red stars, and he
even entrusted his second brother with the task of taking care of the
cat for three days. Yun Ji-gu said that the cat should not know
because he heard it first, and when he spoke, he whispered very
softly.

That’s how much Yoon Ji-gu was more sincere about this trip than
anyone else.

Then suddenly, it occurred to me that it would be very inconvenient


without a car to travel around for two or three days. Yeo-woon
immediately contacted his younger sister, who lives with his parents,
and summoned him. On Saturday morning, my cell phone vibrated
loudly. The name ‘Lee Seol’ was floating on the screen.

“Yes, hello?”

-It’s all here.

Pop. As soon as Yeowoon picked up the phone, the call was


disconnected.

“It’s still the same.”

It seems like it was too bothersome to tell them to come down


because they were below. Yeo-woon, who was used to receiving
such one-sided notifications, quickly opened the front door and ran
outside. When Yeo-woon took the elevator down to the first floor and
went out of the building, a white car was standing in front of the
building with the engine running.

“Seol-ah.”
When Yeowoon called his sister’s name, the woman who was
squatting in front of the car, rubbing the faint scratch, looked up. He
raised his hair to the top of his head, and as soon as he saw the
afterglow, he raised his eyebrows and stood up.

“Hey, Yeowoon Lee. A long time? “Are you alive?”

“Why are you talking to your brother?”

“That’s it. If you eat something in my car, you will die. Wash the car
thoroughly with oil, fill it with something expensive, and return it to
me.”

He raised his head as if making an obvious request. Yeowoon


snorted at his younger brother’s shameless words.

“Why is this your car? “Mom’s car.”

“Because mom told me to ride.”

“Okay….”

“But who are you going on a trip with and renting a car? There is
also a car for disembarkation. Did you fight with him?”

“Seol-ah, I love that you are fair.”

The way he never called his older brother or his friends “oppa” was
so consistent that I couldn’t help but laugh. From a young age, Lee
Seol treated Yeo Woon less than a friend. He hasn’t changed at all
since those days.

Yeo Woon took the car keys from Lee Seol’s hand. After a while,
Seol, who was looking at Yeo-woon disapprovingly, shamelessly held
out her hand.

“Travel expenses.”

“Oh my, I was in such a hurry to come down that I didn’t bring my
wallet. What should I do with this?”

“Deposit money.”

“….”

“You didn’t leave your fingerprints behind, did you?”

Even after a long time, this theory is still a different theory. Should I
be thankful that I’m not always a cheesy person, or should I just slap
myself like I did when I was young?

“But who are you really going on a trip with?”

“you do not have to know.”

“I’m not really curious either. I asked out of courtesy.”


…Well, I’m glad you’re healthy.

Lee Seol took the deposit of 100,000 won from Yeo Woon and
waved goodbye without hesitation. The moment Seol turns around
like that.

“Oh, what!”

“…what.”

I buried my face in someone’s chest. Jigu Yoon suddenly came out


of the cafe without even taking off his apron. Ji-gu Yoon turned his
gaze to look at Yeo-woon. Seol, who was rubbing the forehead that
hit him, looked Yun Ji-gu up and down, then turned her gaze to Yeo-
woon, who was looking at her with resentment.

“what? Acquaintance?”

“I’m the girl who lives next door.”

“Aha, the person next door. hello.”

“….”

Lee Seol smiled amiably and bowed his head, but Ji-gu Yoon just
looked down at him without moving a muscle. When the favor he
first offered was ignored, Seol was heartbroken and erased all
smiles from his face.
“Seol-ah, you go in first. I’ll contact you later.”

“huh? “You don’t have to contact me!”

Lee Seol said to himself, “I’ll buy a sandwich on the way,” and
fluttered away down the other side of the street. And the only people
left on the road were Ji-gu Yoon and Yeo-woon.

“….”

“….”

Yun Ji-gu’s eyes are really snowy today…He looked depressed. He


hadn’t said anything yet, and Yeo-woon was instantly overcome with
guilt. And I had the opportunity to reflect on the past in my head to
see if I had done something wrong.

“brother.”

“huh?!”

It has come. Yeo-woon braced himself after realizing that he fell


asleep first last night and chewed five of Yun Ji-gu’s texts.

“That person just now…Who are you? “I’m not obsessed, I’m just
curious.”

“…uh?”
It was completely different from what Yeowoon expected.

“Don’t misunderstand. I’m not following him around all the time, I’m
at a cafe…Well, I just happened to see it while I was washing the
window. But who is he really? Why are we looking at our phones
together and pretending to be so friendly and making such a fuss?
Why did you smile again? Why is skinship so natural? Is this
someone you met before we started dating? Why are we meeting in
front of here? “How confident can I be when I can clearly see
everything?”

“Ji, calm down.”

“Know this. I’m even more handsome than him. And, I’m not
bragging, but I’m probably younger, right? So, I think you are truly
blessed. Instead of just rolling your head, you need to explain it
quickly. Otherwise, I’ll get really angry. Wow, but you were supposed
to meet me later and hang out. They are doing this on purpose,
knowing clearly that I am working in front of them. Is this Operation
Jealousy or something? If I hadn’t seen it, you would have called me
and met me until I did, right? But it was unfortunate. I don’t get
jealous over things like this. I’ve told you a hundred times that this
doesn’t work for me…!”

“It’s my younger sister.”

“…!”

Ji-gu Yoon, who had been spewing out words with a look on his face
that looked like he was about to die of disappointment, froze on the
spot.
“What, what?”

“That’s my younger brother. I came to lend you a car to take when


we go on a trip.”

“…car?”

“But when I go out with Seol, everyone thinks we’re brother and
sister even if we don’t say anything… . That’s just me with long hair.
Don’t we look a lot alike?”

“….”

Yun Ji-gu’s eyes were shaking as if there was an earthquake. He


recalled the words he had uttered while crying and suddenly his face
turned pale.

“You look so pretty….”

“I heard you’re more handsome.”

“Handsome, because being handsome and being pretty are two


different things.”

“Yes, Lunar New Year is very popular.”

“Is your brother’s name Lee Seol? The name is also very pretty. And
now that I think about it, I think his voice was very sweet….”
Yoon Ji-gu started to post the theory, saying all sorts of sweet
things. From time to time, I noticed that he looked at me and
stuttered, so it was clear that he was trying to catch up on what he
said earlier.

“what! “Did I say something wrong?!”

Ji-gu Yoon was making gibberish excuses to himself and then


suddenly raised his voice. His eyes rose fiercely, pretending to be
angry. However, Yeo-woon is no longer fooled by Yoon Ji-gu’s
expression. In this case, in order to judge Yoon Ji-gu’s sincerity, you
can look at the color of the nape of the neck or the top of the ears,
not by listening to what he says. Yun Ji-gu, who is blushing, is
embarrassed or embarrassed about something.

“brother.”

“why?”

“…You can’t send a text message to your younger brother saying


that you’re really sorry for staring at him and ignoring his
greetings…?”

Sure enough, when I stayed still, he lowered his tail and muttered
sullenly. How can you not be jealous? . Yoon Ji-gu is jealous. It’s also
very cute.

“With your bare mouth?”

“Oh sir. What do you want?”


“Tell me your house password. Go up first and play with Posong
while you do your part-time job.”

“… Then tell me your house password.”

“One two three four one two three four.”

“Are you crazy?! Then a thief breaks into the house!”

“Oh, please tell me quickly.”

“… Give me the phone.”

Ji-gu Yoon scolded Yeo-woon that he shouldn’t say things like


passwords outside because someone might hear it, and wrote down
his house password on Yeo-woon’s cell phone.

‘7849516203#’

There didn’t seem to be any regularity in the numbers. Yeo-woon


coaxed Yoon Ji-gu into the cafe, parked the borrowed car in the
parking lot, and stood in front of Yoon Ji-gu’s house.

“Let’s see….”

When I placed my palm in front of the door lock, a keypad consisting


of numbers and symbols appeared on the liquid crystal display. After
pressing the door lock number and comparing it with the password
given by Ji-gu Yoon, Yeo-woon was able to figure out the rules of
this password. It was like that. It was a number that started from 7
and continued to go up diagonally to the left.

“I don’t think there will be any thieves.”

It looks like Yoon Ji-gu has put quite a bit of thought into the topic.
Finally, when I pressed the shop button, the door unlocked with a
ringing sound.

Beep.

As soon as I opened the door and entered, I came face to face with
the cat, whose eyes were wide open and stiff at the sight of the
afterglow. The cat opened its mouth slightly and made an expression
like ‘Why are you out there?’ Ji-gu Yun wasn’t home either, but it
seemed strange that Yeo-woon suddenly entered the password and
came in. The cat, frozen in shock, looked so much like its owner that
I couldn’t help but laugh.

Yeo-woon picked up a cat toy lying on the floor and started playing
with it at Yoon Po-song’s level. Yun Ji-gu’s cat resembles its owner
and likes it very much, even though it pretends not to be when you
gently stroke its fur.

“Posong, what should we ask Earth for lunch?”

Ugh!

When Yeowoon half-heartedly swung the fishing rod with the


sounding feather, the cat jumped in, snatched the toy, and nibbled
on the end, making a yummy sound. The sunlight coming in at an
angle was unusually warm, and as always, it was very peaceful
today. Yeo-woon hummed and waited happily for Ji-gu Yoon to finish
his work.

***

At eight o’clock in the morning, the doorbell rang.

“Who are you at this hour?” ?”

Yeowoon came out as soon as he finished washing his face and


opened the front door without even being able to wipe off the
moisture.

“Yoon Ji-gu?”

“yes.”

Yeo-woon looked blankly at Yoon Ji-gu with a puzzled face, then


shifted his gaze to the small suitcase he was dragging.

“Why do you have so much baggage?”


“Just clothes, a laptop, this and that…. It looks like a lot because it’s
a suitcase, but in reality, there’s not much in it.”

Yeowoon looked up at the clock and tilted his head.

“I wasn’t ready yet. Weren’t we supposed to meet at nine o’clock?”

“The second eldest brother decided to babysit me. But if they see
me leaving with my luggage in the morning, they will ask me where I
am going. …That’s why we evacuated.”

They say even a tiger will come if you tell it to, and as soon as Ji-gu
Yun said that, the sound of an elevator arriving was heard outside
the front door. Ji-gu Yoon held his breath and focused. Soon, an 11-
digit number, not even a name, appeared on his phone. Ji-gu Yoon
immediately rejected his call and sent the password via text
message. He had a very annoying expression on his face.

“why?”

“huh?”

“Why do you keep looking at my face? I have something to say?”

“Uh, no….”

Yeowoon trailed off and shook his head. For some reason, I felt
strange. There were times when that pitiful expression was directed
at him, but at some point, Ji-gu Yun stopped being bothered or
burdened by him. The process was so natural that I had completely
forgotten that there was a time when I, too, was the target of Yoon
Ji-gu’s avoidance.

I once again realized that I had become someone special to Ji-gu


Yoon. I still didn’t know why he suddenly started liking me. What was
certain, however, was that the person who blindly craved affection
had become quite special to me. When I realize that fact again, I
suddenly feel like the air is getting warmer.

“First of all, you come in and sit down. I’ll get ready soon.”

Yeo-woon said as he individually removed the cat hair from Ji-gu


Yoon’s top. Yun Ji-gu, who followed him into the house, quietly sat in
front of the table and followed Yeo-woon’s movements with his eyes.
It made me laugh because it looked exactly like his cat trying to
catch the sunlight. When I burst into laughter and made eye contact,
Jigu Yoon hurriedly turned his head to avoid my eyes. And soon
after, I felt eyes on my cheek again.

“Do you have something to say?”

“yes?”

“You keep looking at me.”

Ji-gu Yoon raised his eyes like a startled cat and spoke with a
determined face as if he had made a big decision.

“… It’s fascinating.”
“What’s so amazing?”

“It just felt like a dream….”

“What dream?”

“Ever since the day my brother asked me to go on a trip, I’ve had


similar dreams every single day. I still feel that way a little bit. This
isn’t a dream.”

“….”

It was two weeks ago that Yeowoon suggested a trip. Yeo-woon


burst out laughing involuntarily at the absurdity. I wondered how
much I had been looking forward to this trip alone and whether I
would have even dreamed it. I knew he was very excited, but I never
imagined that he would even dream about it.

“Did you dream last night too?”

“yes.”

“Did you sleep?”

“… To be honest, I couldn’t sleep so I didn’t sleep much.”

But how did you know? He muttered, averting his gaze as if


embarrassed. The day before the picnic, I was so excited that I
couldn’t sleep at night, and I saw myself as a child superimposed on
Ji-gu Yoon’s face. Yeowoon threw the extra clothes he was holding
into his bag without even looking at them. Then he sat in front of Ji-
gu Yoon and asked.

“What do you want to do today?”

“You said you were going to some noodle restaurant?”

“They say the makguksu there is famous.”

“Isn’t it obvious?”

“What else should we do?”

Hearing his words, Jigu Yoon slightly tilted his head with a shocked
expression. It’s a face that makes me wonder why you’re asking me
this.

“Well, swimming in the sea.”

“and?”

“…For dinner, I just eat anything nearby. I looked at some reviews


and they said that the raw fish restaurants are all the same no
matter where you go.”

“Is there anything else you want to do other than that?”


As this was my first trip since becoming an adult, I wanted to give
him good memories. There was even a bit of guilt mixed in there. I
didn’t mean to, but I felt like I brought up too much of his beginnings.
But that doesn’t mean the first time won’t be the first time, so there’s
only one thing I can hope for. As I was leaving, I wanted Earth to be
as enjoyable as possible.

Ji-gu Yoon, who was blinking his torn eyes, asked with a frown, as if
he knew how I felt.

“no. Why are you asking only me? I just do what I want to do.
Because I really like everything.”

“Then can I bury you in the sand?”

“….”

“Is it okay? I will make your muscles big and pretty. …Oh, I need to
take my camera. I’ll take a picture and frame it for you.”

“… Why are you filming that?”

“When you look back, all the photos become memories.”

“Don’t be ridiculous!”

“uh? Why isn’t there one? “Where did you put it?”
“Now that I think about it, I want to ride that banana boat. …brother?
“Brother, are you listening to me?”

Ji-gu Yoon seemed to dislike taking pictures of the situation more


than being buried in the sand, so he did his best to divert the
conversation. In the end, Yeo-woon searched all over the house and
found a camera with a dead battery, and put the camera in his bag
along with the battery charger. Ji-gu Yoon was seen waiting for an
opportunity to take the camera out of his luggage, but there was one
thing he overlooked.

These days, even mobile phones have a built-in camera function.


The picture quality is also very good.

***

Ji-gu Yoon was sitting crumpled in the passenger seat, which had
not been adjusted. Before starting the car, Yeowoon saw that and
burst into laughter again in bewilderment.

“Why are you laughing?”

“Oh, just stay still. I’ll make it easier for you.”

It was cute that the seatbelt was worn loosely despite the fact that it
was crumpled in an uncomfortable way. Yeo-woon unfastened his
seat belt, stood up, and bent down towards Yoon Ji-gu. He placed
his hand on Yoon Ji-gu’s body and reached for the control device
next to the seat.

‘I can’t reach it well.’

Yeo-woon extended his hand further, holding on to Yun Ji-gu’s body


tightly. As I fumbled around in the dark space, my finger caught
something.

‘Ah, I found it.’

When Yeo-woon’s finger pressed the lever, enough space was


created for Yoon Ji-gu to stretch out his long legs comfortably. If
you’ve done this, you can adjust the rest to your convenience, right?
Yeo-woon, who was thinking that as he got up, made eye contact
with Yun Ji-gu, who was frozen and had stopped breathing.

While I couldn’t see him for a moment, he turned red again. The
moment Yeo-woon was about to open his mouth again, wondering
why, he felt something under his palm.

“….”

“….”

Yeowoon stopped on the spot. And the moment I realized what was
under my hand, I hurriedly took my hand and sat down.
My face felt hot. What lay beneath his hand was very hard and thick.
Having experienced that form in the palm of your hand, you know
better than anyone else. That’s not a thigh or anything.

‘…No, why did he put that up?’

It was strange that I didn’t peel it and knead it, but just lightly, very
lightly placed my hand on it, and it hardened so quickly. Although he
was a little embarrassed, Yeowoon pretended to remain calm and
started the car. From then on, Yoon Ji-gu was frozen as stone and
did not even blink. It certainly seemed more comfortable to sit on
than before, but it actually made him more uncomfortable in another
way.

“…Um, sorry?”

“….”

Yeo-woon apologized, but his face turned brighter and there was no
reply. It felt like I could clearly see what Ji-gu Yoon was thinking
during that short period of time, so my ears got hot for no reason. If
they had just told me to adjust the seat next to me so I could do it
myself, things wouldn’t have been so awkward from the beginning of
the trip. Yeowoon secretly sighed, regretting it later.

A white car smoothly left the parking lot and entered the main street.
Yun Ji-gu, who had been looking out the window in silence for a
while, seemed to have calmed down the heat, and sighed with a
calm expression on his face.

“Please be careful…,”
My face heated up for no reason at those words. Instead of
answering, Yeowoon held the steering wheel tighter.

‘You have to be careful….’

There certainly seems to be a need for that. Ji-gu Yoon stopped him
just by touching him, and if things continued like this, a catastrophe
could have occurred in an instant.

This isn’t my car, so I couldn’t do anything about it.

***

Compared to the shaky start, the first day’s schedule went very
smoothly. The highway was not blocked for a moment, and the sky
was clear without a single cloud. Ji-gu Yoon was in charge of
selecting music by connecting his cell phone to the car. After driving
for a long time while listening to his favorite music, they were able to
reach their destination in three hours.

“and! “It’s the sea!”

“Don’t run because you’ll get hurt.”

“wow! “Chicken skewers!”


“I told you not to run! “I’m falling!”

As soon as Yeo-woon got out of the car, she was excited to see the
sea for the first time in a long time and tried to run, but Ji-gu Yoon
stopped her. Although he was acting quite calm, Yoon Ji-gu also
seemed quite excited.

Yeo-woon took off his shoes first and quickly stepped onto the white
sandy beach. Yun-ji-gu, who had been hesitating and muttering, ‘I
shouldn’t fall in the water yet,’ followed behind, pretending not to be
defeated. I had to leave my luggage at the resort before going into
the sea, so I couldn’t go into the water yet. Every time I took a step,
the white sand rustled and wrapped around my feet.

“It’s hot, right.”

“That’s why.”

“There are so many people. What are you all doing here? “Aren’t
you going to work?”

Not only were there people already in the water swimming, but there
were also children building sand castles, college students playing
with balls, and families sitting on the white sand beach eating the
food they had prepared.

Among those people, the two walked slowly along the beach, each
holding their shoes in one hand. Their footprints were left side by
side on the water-filled sand. While walking along the beach with Yun
Ji-gu in silence, even though everything around them was noisy,
Yeo-woon felt like they were alone trapped in a fragment of time.
Shoot!

The waves that approached with particularly ferocious force


suddenly hit the beach. The pure white spray washed over the feet
of the two people and turned back into a deep blue wave.

“Ahh!”

Suddenly, Ji-gu Yun screamed from next to me. Yeowoon looked


back at him in surprise.

“what’s the matter?”

“What is this!”

The waves presented long seaweed to Yun Ji-gu’s ankles. As the


waves washed over me, seaweed was caught very thickly on my
feet. Ji-gu Yoon shook his feet with a puzzled expression and
grunted as he tried to get rid of the seaweed wrapped around his
ankles. Yeo-woon did not miss the opportunity and picked up the cell
phone he had in his pocket and took a picture of the scene.

click!

“…!”

Yun Ji-gu, who removed the seaweed and threw it back into the
water, raised his head at the sound of the shutter and looked at Yeo-
woon. Yeo-woon stepped back and pressed the photo button again,
and this time, Yoon Ji-gu was captured in the photo looking at him
with a dumb expression. When I checked the photo I took, Ji-gu
Yoon’s expression was truly spectacular. Yeo-woon laughed when he
saw Ji-gu Yoon trying to take his cell phone and defined his identity.

“fool.”

Ji-gu Yoon jumped and fidgeted more than anyone else at the
words, which were just meant to be fun.

“…Did I come out like a fool? “Let me see!”

“no. If I show you, I will erase it right away.”

“I won’t erase it! … If it comes out well, I won’t delete it.”

It wasn’t funny how they were subtly attaching conditions. Yeowoon


took a step back, hiding his phone behind his back.

“Show me baby, try it. Then I’ll give it to you.”

“…Ah, it’s my picture, why can’t I see it!”

“No. It’s my photo because I took it.”

The afterglow insisted. Ji-gu Yoon, who was momentarily speechless


at those words and tried to be persuaded just a little, quickly shook
his head and was released from the brainwashing.
“Then can I take a picture of my brother and not show it to him?
Then, since I took it, it’s my photo, and that’s okay, right?”

“Sure.”

As Yeo-woon gently took the medicine, Ji-gu Yoon moved his eyes
along the cell phone in Yeo-woon’s hand with a look of disintegration
on his face. And after a while, he muttered something strange in a
voice that only Yeo-woon could hear.

“… If you don’t show me, I’ll kiss you right here.”

“what?”

When I asked again, wondering if I had misheard, Ji-gu Yun glared


at Yeo-woon with burning eyes and blushed.

“It’s not a joke, I really do it. What do you think people will say if we
suddenly kiss here?”

“Wow, they’re gay. I will.”

“…yes?”

“It would be more fun for other people to kiss us, right? And we
could talk all day. Whether it means good or bad.”

Jigu Yoon must have not expected my reaction, so he pursed his lips
and was at a loss for words. It looked even more stupid than what it
looked like in the photo.

“If you can, try it.”

“….”

“Why don’t you do it? kiss.”

“My brother… Is there no such thing as shame?”

Yun Ji-gu clenched his fists, feeling ashamed of what I had said. It
seemed a bit pitiful and even funny, so Yeo-woon patted Yoon Ji-gu’s
back with the hand holding the cell phone as if to encourage him.

“Ugh, Yoon Ji-gu. They always keep talking nonsense even though
they say they can’t actually do it.”

“Ahh! “Don’t hit my ass!”

Yun Ji-gu must have remembered a bad memory, and with a red
face, he turned back the way he came and ran away. As he ran and
made audible noises, all eyes were on him.

“….”

click.
Yeo-woon took a picture of him running away in a huff and walked
along the footprints left by Ji-gu Yoon.

***

Yun Ji-gu had never liked the sea even for a moment in his life.
Compared to swimming pools or valley water, my skin felt wet and
sticky after swimming, which was unpleasant, and I also didn’t like
the fact that sand stuck to my feet when I got out of the water. That
thought still remains, but for some reason it felt quite different today.

“Haha!”

“…Ah, a little!”

Somehow, the sea seems to get better from today. Yeo-woon Lee
buried herself in the ground and took pictures of herself from various
angles.

Why are you laughing like that? It’s really annoying. Yun Ji-gu
glanced at him and deliberately put on a solemn expression. What
was so good about it was that I didn’t hate Yeo-woon, who was
giggling with tears at the corners of her eyes.

When a tail made of sand appeared on the lower half of Yun Ji-gu’s
body, a young brother and sister who were snooping nearby sat
down next to Yun Ji-gu and began to clumsily imitate it. I’m not a
mermaid, I look like my grandfather’s grave. When the children
started crying, Yeowoon Lee started helping them turn into little fish.

The adult fish Yun Ji-gu glared at them from under the shade and
left them in old memories. Seeing the lingering emotions of talking to
kids I had never seen before reminded me of the lingering emotions
that I used to act without hesitation a year ago. In hindsight, the
memories turned out to be true. At the time, I thought he was a
really strange person, but in fact, that thought has not changed even
now. I couldn’t be wary of people I didn’t know, but I couldn’t speak
and fretting over them only made my head hurt more.

After the children she didn’t know left, Lee Yeo-woon sat next to her
buried in the ground and showed her the photos she had taken so
far. Even in the photo, it was clear that Yoon Ji-gu looked
embarrassed. It looks like he fell asleep after playing for a while. At
some point, I closed my eyes and when I opened them, an hour had
passed.

“Umm….”

As Yoon Ji-gu twisted his body, the sand that had dried from the
outside cracked and flowed down on the floor. After kicking the
heavy sand and destroying all of the mermaid’s tail, I looked to the
side and saw Lee Yeowoon lying down with a damp towel wrapped
around her shoulder. He was curled up like a shrimp next to me,
asleep. After looking at him for a while, Yoon Ji-gu took out his cell
phone and took a picture of Yeo-woon’s sleeping face.

click.
Unfortunately, Yeo-woon opened his eyes at the sound. He closed
his sleepy eyes, rolled over, and raised his upper body first.

“… What time is it?”

“It’s not even five o’clock yet.”

“Ugh, it’s cold….”

My whole body was wet, and since I slept with a wet towel wrapped
around me, it was natural to feel that way. The two quickly packed
their bags and left the beach, briefly washing themselves in the
simple shower.

“I feel uncomfortable.”

Ji-gu Yoon squatted on the floor, playing with his hair, which had
been soaked in salt and was still stiff. He slammed his shoes on the
floor to shake off all the sand that was still on them.

Yeo-woon said he was already tired even though he only swam, and
his eyes were half-closed throughout dinner. In fact, in Yun Ji-gu’s
opinion, there was no such thing as swimming, and all that was left
to do was float on the water and sway in the waves.

After the two of us ate 6 servings, we each took a bite of ice cream
and walked slowly back to the dorm. The sky, which was bright blue
when I walked down the coastal road, gradually turned dark. I could
see the sky turning yellow beyond the front window, which had a
clear view of the blue sea.
“… It’s pretty.”

I’ve never looked at a landscape and thought it was pretty, but the
scenery with waves sparkling in the sunlight was like a famous
painting in a frame. It seemed like it would be a good idea to just sit
here and look outside all day. Ji-gu Yoon wanted to see and share
this scene with Yeo-woon Lee. And since it was evening, I was in a
sentimental mood and naturally wanted to move on to something like
that. However, Lee Yeo-woon, who was oblivious, was still taking a
shower, saying it felt like sand was rolling around inside her clothes.

“Earth, what are you doing there?”

“Just looking at the photos I took today….”

“Wow, you can really see the sea from here.”

Yeowoon’s hand rested on my shoulder. It felt good to have warm,


freshly bathed skin. This was an opportunity. Ji-gu Yoon turned his
head and hugged Yeo-woon’s waist tightly. Yeo-woon asked, stroking
the hair of Ji-gu Yun, who was looking up at me.

“Why again?”

“Hyung, the sky is pretty.”

“…huh? “I see.”

This is the time. Ji-gu Yoon nuzzled his head against Yeo-woon’s
waist and tried to sneak his hand through Yeo-woon’s shirt. But
attempts to set the mood went in vain. Yeo-woon Lee told me to
wash up quickly because I was dirty, and pushed my back and
forced me into the bathroom.

“….”

Oh, fuck.

While I was distracted by being told that it was dirty, I was locked in
the bathroom. Ji-gu Yun gritted his teeth and quickly washed every
inch of his body before coming out, but Yeo-woon was already
curled up on the bed, dozing off.

“…under.”

Yun Ji-gu threw the towel somewhere and walked to the side of the
bed, looking down at the lingering cold with cold eyes.

“Brother, why are you sleeping?”

Of course, there was no response from the sleeping person.

“Why are you already sleeping?”

Does this guy have any sense of humor? Or is he intentionally


pretending to sleep because he doesn’t want to do it with me? I
wanted to slide my hand through my white t-shirt that was half-up.
My hands tend to be colder than others, so Yeowoon Lee will flinch
and curl up at my touch. It wasn’t the imaginary Lee Yeo-woon, but
the real thing was lying right in front of me, and I was annoyed that I
couldn’t touch him.

As a result, a secret desire slowly arose. If my brother was really


sleeping, wouldn’t he be able to tell if I secretly took off his clothes
and touched every corner of him? Then it’s better when you wake
up. …Of course, I had absolutely no confidence in actually doing
that. It was always just words.

Anyway, this time I was fully prepared and even ran various
simulations to show everything I had learned. How do you sleep? It
looks like Yeo-woon Lee is really playing house with herself like a
child.

“No matter how hard I tried, I still didn’t lose.”

Ji-gu Yoon grumbled a little and deliberately waved his hand in front
of Yeo-woon’s eyes to check if he was sleeping. He also called Yeo-
woon’s name and lightly kissed him on the lips. Then, I pushed my
hand into his limp hand and even clasped his hands together, but
Yeo-woon just took a deep breath and slept well.

I guess I was very tired after driving all day and having fun in the
water. …There is plenty of time tomorrow anyway. Ji-gu Yoon played
with his phone for a while and wriggled next to Yeo-woon before
falling asleep without realizing it.

“….”

While Yoon Ji-gu was not conscious of it, Yeo-woon’s eyelashes


twitched. After a while, Yeowoon finally opened one eye and saw
that he was asleep. Yeo-woon very carefully stood up and gently
took away the hand that Ji-gu Yoon was holding tightly in her hand.

“… I almost fell asleep too.”

I don’t know how hard it was to pretend to sleep earlier. No, actually,
I was half asleep.

“Why is he making such a fuss over a sleeping person?”

Yeo-woon breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Ji-gu Yun’s


eyes were completely closed. He took something out from inside the
bag he had placed under the bed.

“….”

The ring in Yeowoon’s hand sparkled silver under the glow of the
sunset. Yeo-woon lifted Yoon Ji-gu’s hand while he was sleeping and
gently held it so that the back of the hand was visible. When I
carefully put the silver ring on his ring finger, it was like magic and
the size was perfect. I was wondering what if it didn’t work out, but I
was glad.

‘Honestly, if you weren’t an idiot, you would have noticed as soon as


you woke up. …’I don’t know if I’m crying again.’

Yun Ji-gu’s cell phone was left on the bed with the screen on.

“Wow, you’re good at taking selfies?”


Yeo-woon looked at each of the photos taken by Ji-gu Yoon, and
stopped when he saw a picture of himself asleep on the beach
earlier. I couldn’t tell when this photo was taken. While most of the
photos of Yun Ji-gu that she took were of shocked and surprised
faces, the photos of me that Yun Ji-gu took were all of smiling faces.

‘I make this face when I see Yoon Ji-gu?’

It was unexpected. It’s completely different from what I see in the


mirror. It didn’t seem like he was that excited before, but in the
photo he was smiling brightly like an immature teenage boy and
getting ready to throw water at him. Perhaps it was my imagination,
but his eyes were particularly bright and he looked like a crazy
person. Yeo-woon lay down on the bed again and poked Ji-gu Yun’s
cheek with his finger.

“wake up.”

“….”

“You should wake up and be happy you got a ring.”

“Ugh….”

My eyebrows furrowed. Yoon Ji-gu, who was sleepy, tossed and


turned and slapped away Yeo-woon’s hand that was shaking his
shoulder. And then he crawled under the blanket and became a
cocoon.

“Even if I give you a chance, I can’t take it.”


There were dozens of ways to wake him up, but I didn’t want to.
Yeo-woon gave up trying to wake him up and lay down next to Yun
Ji-gu. Even when the air conditioner was running at the lowest
temperature, it was very warm under the blanket.

***

Boom, boom!

The two people who were taking a late nap opened their eyes at the
same time to the sound of fireworks exploding outside. ‘Wow, it’s
war!’ Yoon Ji-gu and Yeo-woon, who had woken up in surprise
because he shouted, looked at each other and blinked. The
fireworks exploding in the sky were particularly pretty.

“….”

“Do you want to go out?”

At Yeo-woon’s suggestion, Ji-gu Yoon, who had a magpie nest on


his head, nodded. Roughly running their hands through their
disheveled hair, the two left the resort. It was humid and hot outside
without air conditioning. Loud music accompanied by guitars and
drums could be heard from a distance. It seemed like there was a
festival or some kind of event nearby. Everyone was sitting on the
side of the road watching the fireworks. There were also people
taking pictures with sparklers on the white sand beach.

Yeo-woon smiled faintly when he saw Yun Ji-gu, who had yet to
notice the ring on his hand. Now is probably the time to realize it.

“Brother, there is no one here.”

“Where are you?”

“Here, down!”

Yun Ji-gu went down the large rock next to the pine tree and waved
his hand. The place he found was secret and out of sight of others,
making one wonder how he could have found such a place. Yeo-
woon looked up at the sky while holding Ji-gu Yoon’s hand, which
had a ring on it. Orange, green, yellow…. The colorful fireworks that
embroidered the sky were a very common sight that could be seen
anywhere.

“Earth, has anything changed?”

Yeowoon asked, subtly touching their joined hands. Yun Ji-gu


thought about those words for a moment and gave the wrong
answer.

“Did you cut your hair?”

“no?”
“Have you changed your clothes?”

“It’s not.”

“then…I don’t have any. My brother is the same as usual.”

“You, not me.”

“…me?”

He thought for a moment and shook his head. He really didn’t seem
to notice anything. Even though it’s your own hand, don’t you feel
something strange?

“wait.”

Yeo-woon took out the ring he had put in his pants pocket, clenched
his fist, and placed his hand on Yoon Ji-gu’s hand. He held out his
palm with a puzzled expression, and Yeowoon placed a silver ring on
it. The moment Yeo-woon removed his hand, Ji-gu Yoon gasped and
gasped at the lukewarm temperature of the ring placed on his palm.

“You put mine in.”

“…what?”

Yoon Ji-gu, who only then realized that there was a ring on his hand,
asked with a dumb expression.
pop!

Every time fireworks exploded in the sky, different colors were added
to each other’s faces. This time it was red.

“Hey, when will something like this happen again… .”

“just. I feel like I usually take too much from you.”

“What am I?”

“Don’t feel pressured. I know someone who works here and I


wanted to give it to them today, so I arranged it there in a hurry. …
Is it a little clunky?”

“…no. I really like it.”

“thank god.”

“….”

“What are you doing?”

Yeowoon waved his left hand. Yun Ji-gu, who was barely muttering
in a wet voice, finally came to his senses and held the ring tightly as
if he was going to crush it with just his fingers. He held my hand
carefully and slipped a ring onto my ring finger. Why am I so
nervous and scared? It’s funny how the hand holding my hand and
the finger holding the ring are shaking, so I keep laughing.
“What should I do? If my brother does all these things, what should I
really do? .”

“You don’t have to try to return it. Let’s say it’s the price of your first
purchase, right?”

“…first? “Do we have to talk about it until a day like this?”

The voice that was steeped in emotion suddenly became sharp.


Yeowoon shook her shoulders and laughed quietly, then raised her
hand and tapped his forehead as if to comfort him.

“you idiot.”

“ah!”

“Actually, the person who made this ring is my friend’s sister, and
since I was in middle school, whenever I went to her house, she
always came to me and threatened me to buy an expensive couple
ring.”

“Why are you talking about him all of a sudden?”

“But this time, my sister asked why I came after 10 years. I heard
you were caught and scolded for a long time?”

“Let’s talk again.”


“So what I’m saying is, you’re the first person I’ve ever had a couple
match with in earnest.”

Ji-gu Yoon, who had to explain each word to understand in order to


understand it, only then furrowed his brows. There was never a
moment when I wasn’t serious about everything, but I was especially
confident in my relationship with Yoon Ji-gu. There was no way for
me, as a mere human, to know whether it was because the pods
had not yet come off, or whether it was really love that had come to
my neighbor’s house as if by fate.

Earth, do you remember the day we first kissed?

“Actually, I knew you were very anxious. …But now I’m so confident
that I wonder why I did that.”

You cried in front of me, and I just…I was so anxious and scared of
you. Because I wasn’t confident at the time either. At that time, I
couldn’t find a reason why I should be you and be by your side.

“I’m sorry for thinking about it for so long. and….”

“….”

“Thank you for waiting for half a year.”

“…Ah, does this make you cry?”

Yun Ji-gu mumbled, pretending to be calm, then turned his head and
roughly wiped his eyes. He was easily annoyed, easily pleased, and
easily embarrassed, so he was also very easy to impress.

Yun Ji-gu’s face turned scarlet as the fireworks exploded loudly in


the sky. I liked this rather than a special couple ring given on a
special day to commemorate the 100th day or one year anniversary.
Now, Ji-gu Yun will think of herself every time she looks at the sea or
sees fireworks beautifully decorating the sky. I will forever remember
this moment every time I see the ring. Yeowoon stuffed the
memories of that moment into a pair of rings.

***

“Tsk…!”

As soon as the door closed behind me, Jigu Yun hurriedly kissed
me. The kiss, which was always careful and clumsy, was very hasty
and rough today.

“Shoes, ah…, take it off…!”

While I was stuttering, my tongue was sticking out between my


parted lips. Ji-gu Yoon tapped my tongue as if begging me to get a
reaction. It was all the way Yeowoon taught me. It was impossible to
imagine that the Yoon Ji-gu who was as stiff as a stone statue when
he first thrust his tongue in was the same person as the current
Yoon Ji-gu. Ji-gu Yoon pushed Yeo-un against the wall and put
pressure on her, sandwiching his thigh between her spread legs.

Groaning, he managed to take off his shoes, but Yun Ji-gu didn’t
listen at all and just sat there, so Yeo-woon naturally caught his heat.
Yun Ji-gu’s eyes were red and he kissed every place he could see.
The lips fell non-stop from the lips to the corners of the mouth,
cheeks, and even the nape of the neck. A faint residual heat
remained where he left the kiss.

“Oh, wait a minute!”

Yeo-woon said, barely able to hold on to his pants that were


suddenly about to be pulled down.

“What’re you doing?”

“My brother asked me to take it off.”

“…No, I said take off my shoes.”

“You’re going to take it off anyway.”

Yun Ji-gu, who gradually moved down and kissed, knelt between
Yeo-woon’s legs, leaning against the wall. The moment he was
about to push it away, saying that it wasn’t necessary, Ji-gu Yoon
licked the top of his underwear and looked up at him at the same
time. …Crazy guy. My hand stopped at a momentary thought.

“Ugh!”
The pants came off in an instant and were hanging in the middle of
the thighs, and Ji-gu Yoon took out his penis and licked the pole for
a long time. Ji-gu Yoon swallowed Yeo-woon’s penis in his mouth
and didn’t know what to do. Even the obligatory twitching of the
tongue was stimulating and Yeo-woon’s lips pressed tightly together.

Ji-gu Yoon, who had been looking up at Yeo-woon the whole time
and watching his reaction, gained courage from the faint change in
expression and moved his head little by little. I stimulated the roots
with my hands, and when I was short of breath, I put my head back
and licked the tip to breathe. Yeowoon flinched at the unfamiliar
stimulation and closed his eyes tightly. I couldn’t come to my senses
from the feeling of the hot and humid mucous membrane
surrounding my genitals. A mixture of his saliva and the Cooper fluid
leaking from the tip made a slurping sound.

“…Yoon Ji-gu!”

I thought so when the hand that was holding my thigh moved back
and timidly massaged my buttocks. However, as the hand was about
to attack the back, Yeo-woon hurriedly pushed Yun Ji-gu forward.
There was a loud noise and my penis came out between my shiny
lips. Ji-gu Yoon looked up at himself, tilting his head, and then as if
he realized something, he dug into his pocket and took out
something.

“I forgot.”

A condom came out of his pocket. A condom was found in Yoon Ji-
gu’s pocket…. Not other people, not yourself, but the Earth carries
condoms…? …Is it a dream?
“Why does that come out there? when, … Since when did you start
putting it in?”

“…I kept having one. I’m afraid I might end up doing it outside….”

“Are you really a pervert?”

“….”

Yeowoon’s voice trembled as if he was tired and asked if he was a


pervert.

Yun Ji-gu was so embarrassed by the word pervert that he didn’t


respond and instead put a condom on his finger. Yeowoon shows a
lot of confusion today. And I liked his reaction. It was really nice to
see Yeo-woon, who always pretended to be relaxed, lose his ability
to think and his eyes flutter.

“ah…Earth, did you really spin…? . I didn’t eat something wrong…?


Yes…! Do you want to go to the hospital?”

…I can’t close my mouth. It would be nice if you didn’t say anything


that would break the mood.

Yun Ji-gu bit and sucked the penis at different angles, and at the
same time began to widen Yeo-woon’s backside. The narrow gap
was so narrow that even a finger could fit through it, even with
lubricant on it. It seems like there was a lot of loose ends last time.
Yun Ji-gu felt that fact again and wiggled his fingers.
‘Tsk…. ‘My brother is watching me.’

I didn’t even touch mine, but it was so tight that even my underwear
felt wet. However, like last time, I couldn’t be faithful to my desires
and be labeled as a real premature ejaculation bastard. Ji-gu Yoon
extended the fingers behind Yeo-woon into two and closed his legs.

It was then.

“Ah, ha, ah!”

Yeo-woon, who was cornered against the wall and unable to escape
and was accepting stimulation coming from back and forth, tried to
fight back with the only part of her body that was free. Lee Yeo-
woon pressed down on Yoon Ji-gu’s genitals with his foot. Yun Ji-gu,
embarrassed, spit out the penis he had in his mouth and closed his
legs more, but it was no use.

“What are you doing? “Keep sucking.”

“Ugh…, brother….”

He was almost stepping on my clothes with his bare feet. She was
kneeling under him, who was looking down at her, and was stepping
on his dick. It was a truly humiliating moment. However, rather than
letting his excitement die, Ji-gu Yoon gathered his wits as he felt like
he could cum right away. This is a battle of pride. For me, it is a
means to get rid of past humiliation, and Yeo-woon suffers no loss if
he loses here.
A squishing sound came from Yeowoon’s buttocks. Now, there was
no reaction as far as spreading two fingers inside. At this level, my
back was loosened enough that I didn’t get irritated and pull my hair
out because of the pain, but I knew very well from past experience
that it would be difficult to accept myself to this extent. It was no
longer difficult to remain invisible. I had to lay Yeowoon down
properly and look into the hole properly. In order for him not to get
hurt when inserted, I had to leave the back wide enough as I studied
on my own. At least it has to be easy to insert when I put my four
fingers together….

“…Sigh!”

“Earth, it’s early today too.”

Yeowoon stroked my head and whispered mischievously. Is that so?

“under… That’s not what you want to do.”

Jigu Yoon said while showing his very wet hands. However, Yeowoon
was not at all moved by my words and kept his mouth shut.

“Did you just cum after being stepped on?”

“…brother! “Speak kindly!”

The first match was a draw. Yun Ji-gu pursed his lips. I felt
disappointed in myself for getting to the point where Lee Yeo-woon
was putting pressure on me with his feet. Yeo-woon Lee also didn’t
like the idea of her having her hands covered in semen and
pretending to be relaxed. Even Yeowoon ejaculated about 2 seconds
faster than he did. Today we will see his defeat.

***

“Ah, sir….”

Yeowoon let out a moan and clutched the white sheets. Every time
that happened, Ji-gu Yoon’s heart seemed to sink, but after I told
him it was okay three times each time I tried to pull my hand away in
surprise, I realized that the lingering feeling was bearable.

But something was strange. In theory, it was supposed to stimulate


somewhere inside, but I couldn’t find the point where I could feel the
lingering sensation. Yeo-woon, who had been lying face down and
twitching while pressing against the inner wall and searching for
where that place was, turned his head and said.

“Don’t do that. I just feel bad.”

“Ah yes….”

I wondered if Lee Yeo-woon was born unable to feel backwards. As


requested, Yun Ji-gu now focused on expanding rather than finding
the spot. The hole and the area around it were all soggy from the
heavy amount of gel. Every time I pulled my finger out, I felt dizzy as
if flesh was being lifted.

“Oh, it hurts….”

Yeowoon groaned and wriggled his thighs. Is it really necessary to


put it in when it hurts like this? I feel good just by touching it. Yun Ji-
gu gradually lost confidence. Yeowoon’s back was too narrow, and
mine was too big, which was a problem. Should I look into penis
reduction surgery? It was around this time that I started to seriously
think about that.

Yeo-woon, who only said she was in pain with a numb face, stood
up. He swept up her sweat-soaked hair and lightly kissed Yun Ji-gu’s
dejected lips.

“Okay, just put it in. If we keep doing this, the sun will rise.”

“…Doesn’t it hurt?”

“It hurts, but it’s bearable.”

I didn’t like that. I wanted to have a relationship where we could both


enjoy, not just endure sex. As if he had somehow read my feelings,
Yeo-woon, who was looking at my face, opened a new condom that
had not yet been opened and put it on Ji-gu Yoon’s. And then he
wrapped his arms around Yun Ji-gu’s neck and pulled her to lie down
on the bed. I was naturally drawn to him, and his genitals touched
between my spread legs.
“….”

“….”

Humans are selfish animals. Earlier, I thought it was okay not to put
it in, but now that something happened, I felt like I would die if I
didn’t put it in.

“are you okay.”

Yeowoon patted himself and muttered. It wasn’t something he was


saying to me, but it sounded like he was saying it to himself and
comforting himself that it would be okay. Ji-gu Yoon kept eye contact
with Yeo-woon for a while, then pressed his penis against Yeo-
woon’s hole. The wrinkles that were tightly gathered were slightly
pressed and the end was accepted.

“Yes….”

Yeowoon frowned as if displeased. It seemed like he was still in pain.


Yun Ji-gu pushed his penis inside, thinking that he had never been
so focused in his life. My genitals also hurt from the pressure of the
tight hole as if I was nervous.

After the thickest glans was fully inserted, Yeowoon’s forehead was
covered in sweat. He took a deep breath and closed his eyes tightly.

“Brother, are you sick?”

“…it hurts.”
“….”

“But you… It’s okay if you are.”

His legs wrapped around my waist. Ji-gu Yoon, who had been very
scared as he watched Yeo-woon’s reaction, finally felt relieved.

Yoon Ji-gu rubbed Yeo-un’s genitals with his hand and slowly began
to advance his genitals inward. The inner wall tightened around the
pillar and clenched tightly. It was unknown how long it took to insert.
The most important thing was to make sure he didn’t get hurt, so it
didn’t matter if the sun rose like this. Ji-gu Yun glanced down at the
bottom where he had swallowed two-thirds of his food, and thought
that it would be okay to put the rest in at once. He lifted his waist all
at once without even warning.

“Huh!”

It was then. Suddenly, Yeo-woon’s waist twisted, and the penis


under Yoon Ji-gu’s hand leaked Cooper fluid. Before I could even
feel the wonder of how hard it had suddenly become, I saw
Yeowoon’s lips trembling.

“Well, well….”

He didn’t seem to have any idea what this was either. Yeowoon’s
eyes opened wide like a rabbit due to the sudden rush of pleasure.
The two people were surprised and just looked at each other without
moving for a while.
The sight of Yeo-woon looking up at him with an unusually
embarrassed face was so adorable that I felt like I was dying. It
would have been nice to die like this. No, that doesn’t mean I want
to die, I just said it was so good that I wanted to die. To double-
check, Yun Ji-gu lightly bit the waist and then lifted it up again and
poked the spot. I felt a small swollen mucous membrane inside.
When I poked that area with the tip, Yeowoon’s body responded.

“…ah!”

I finally found a place where I could feel the lingering feeling. Since it
was out of reach with my fingers, I couldn’t help but feel annoyed.
Yeowoon was embarrassed by the unfamiliar stimulation and gently
pushed his chest.

“Now, wait a minute.”

“thank god.”

“Thank God, this isn’t…ah!”

Every time I lifted my waist slightly, Yeowoon’s lips parted. Her


feverish, red cheeks looked as pretty as apples. Ji-gu Yoon hugged
Yeo-woon and blindly captured his lips. Yeowoon was embarrassed
and tried to escape, but he was already in my arms.

“Yoon Ji-gu, you really…! “It hurts, so try taking it out!”

“Ah, hmm…!”
“hey! You are listening to me…!”

This was close to meaning good. If Lee Yeo-woon really doesn’t like
something, she’ll pull her hair out or honestly say she doesn’t like it.
In contrast, even as he told me to let go of the lingering pain, my
thighs became hard and writhed.

It was so cramped and hot inside him. Yun Ji-gu looked down at his
penis sinking between his buttocks and coming out again, and
thought to himself that he was going to lose his mind from the heat.
It was right to learn facts through practice that I couldn’t figure out
no matter how much I searched on the Internet. When I was just
imagining it, I thought about how to move for 10 hours, but when I
actually started doing it, my back moved instinctively. Ji-gu Yoon
took Yeo-un’s flesh in his mouth and sucked it, not knowing what to
do with the numbing pleasure that paralyzed his nerves.

“Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss though….”

“…iced coffee…!”

Ji-gu Yoon lunged inside Yeo-woon like an animal, grabbed the head
of the person who was avoiding his face, turned him around, and
begged for a kiss. Every time I pushed mine into his hole, it made a
loud sound. Yeowoon twisted his waist and tilted his head. It had
been a long time since the sheet had been pushed up and out of
shape every time I inserted my penis into the defenseless hole.

Ji-gu Yun hugged Yeo-woon’s waist as she climbed up to the head of


the bed and lifted her up on top of me. Somehow, Yeo-woon ended
up sitting on my lap, not knowing what to do.
“Ah, Earth, huh….”

Yeowoon’s thighs were trembling. Yun Ji-gu looked at him and kissed
Yeo-un on the cheek. I wanted to take a bite out of the area around
my eyes that were red with heat. Ji-gu Yoon embraced the lingering
feeling that made his body tremble with unfamiliar pleasure.

“Are you still in pain?”

“… Aren’t you cumming?”

“First of all, hyung, when you cum.”

“Fuck…!”

Yeowoon sighed and cursed. The lingering feeling on the bed was
quite different from my usual appearance. I really liked how he
muttered curses every now and then to express pain or resentment.
As I hugged him and pulled his penis out of the hole, the inner flesh
bit down on the pillar and tightened.

The moment Yeo-woon, who had clumsily been holding on by


holding onto his shoulders, leaned in, hugging his neck tightly as if
he was the only one he could rely on, Ji-gu Yoon took a deep breath.

“Ugh, now, wait, ah…!”

The sound of flesh meeting flesh echoed throughout the dark room.
The movement of embracing Yeowoon and raising his genitals was
unstoppable. Yun Ji-gu couldn’t come to his senses and was
wheezing even though Yeo-woon was hugging his neck tightly and
shaking his head. Brother, I like it. brother…. The affection for Yeo-
woon was revealed without hesitation in his half-conscious, earnestly
muttering voice.

Yeo-woon tried to move his waist to match Yun Ji-gu’s movements,


but was overcome by the overwhelming pleasure and just held on
with his head buried in his shoulder. He finally decided to admit it. Ji-
gu Yoon, who was thought to be a premature ejaculator, had a talent
for sex. I was the one who discovered that talent, but I didn’t feel
any reward at all.

The penis, which went deep and fast, sometimes all the way out,
and then all the way in at once, was almost like a new stimulation.
Yeo-woon could only catch his breath and hug Yun Ji-gu tighter. The
hard penis immediately pierced the place where I could feel the
lingering sensation. At that moment, Yeo-woon couldn’t hold back
any longer and ended up spitting out semen onto Yun Ji-gu’s
stomach. Yun Ji-gu, who stopped moving for a moment due to the
inner wall quickly tightening his penis, muttered quietly.

“Now who’s faster…?”

“Hey…!”

After Yeowoon finally calmed down, he grabbed Yoon Jigu’s hair. I


felt like I wanted to rip my boyfriend off like this, but I couldn’t make
my lover, whom I hadn’t known for a while, go bald. Yoon Ji-gu’s
shoulders trembled as he shallowly inserted his penis into me, which
was heavily drained.

“…Ah, huh!”
When the huge penis completely slipped out, the hole widened and I
flinched. I flinched several times as the gaping area tried to find its
proper shape. This was my first time in a relationship that was so
driven and half-hearted. Even while Yeo-woon, drenched in the
afterglow of ejaculation, was catching her breath, Ji-gu Yoon was so
happy with Yeo-woon that she kissed her anywhere and pressed her
face into Yeo-woon’s shoulder or cheek.

“Uh, how was it? I did well… No, did you like him?”

“huh.”

“how much…?”

“depending on?”

Yun Ji-gu got angry at Yeo-woon’s cynical answer and asked, ‘Are
you saying it wasn’t that good?’ He got irritated.

“I said it was good.”

“that…I can’t help it though. Because this is my first time….”

When I saw Yun Ji-gu muttering dejectedly, I felt my heart plump. I


should have been aware of this as they touched and kissed all over
my body, but Ji-gu Yoon seemed to be quite tired as he was paying
attention not only to my pleasure but also to Yeo-woon’s reaction.

“It seemed okay for a first time.”


In fact, it was so good that I almost lost my mind from the
overwhelming pleasure, but Yeo-woon shrugged his shoulders,
intentionally managing his expression. And when she laughed as if
teasing Yun Ji-gu, he pursed his lips and glared at Yeo-woon. The
face with red cheeks and an angry glare was no longer scary.

Yeowoon turned his head and lay down on the bed, looking at the
ceiling. I had to wash it, but it was so annoying. We played outside
all day and our first sex was quite successful, so now it’s time to
shower and sleep….

“oh!”

…First of all, that was Yeo-woon’s thoughts.

“What are you doing…hey!”

“why.”

Ji-gu Yoon asked as if it was obvious, putting a new condom on his


genitals. It had been a while since he had cum, and his erection was
so firm that it reached all the way to his abdomen. He naturally laid
Yeowoon down on the bed and stuffed himself inside her again. As I
started the second round in a haphazard manner, I thought the
lingering feelings would end this time.

However, Jigu Yoon was in his early twenties, and this was his first
experience. Even though he had damn good physical strength, his
dick was so big that it put a lot of strain on his body. To the point
where he wanted to laugh at his past self for thinking he couldn’t feel
anything, he felt like he was going to die every time Yoon Ji-gu
pounded deep inside him. Yun Ji-gu’s hand was rubbing his genitals
arbitrarily, and he ended up cumming four times in a row, to the
point where he was starting to feel nauseous.

“Brother, tell me honestly. …Am I not good at it? Why do you keep
saying you don’t like it? But my brother cums faster than me. Hyung,
if you don’t like it, do you cum? Do you enjoy things you don’t like?
Actually, if you get to know him, aren’t you a complete pervert?
Right?”

“…Hey, don’t act naive. Where did you learn this other than me!”

“why? Am I good at it? Is it better than before? “Have I improved


recently?”

“What kind of bastard…! “Print out your search history and submit it
as soon as you get home!”

“what. I saw it all and deleted it….”

The night was getting deeper and black waves were rolling outside
the window. Above the water, the pure white moon swayed gently in
the wind. Their night isn’t over yet.

***
The alarm that was set for the sunrise time rang. Yeowoon blinked
his swollen eyes, woke up from a drowsy state, and turned off the
alarm on his phone. Beyond the translucent curtain, there was a
faint sign of dawn. Yeo-woon looked down at Yun Ji-gu, who was
hugging her waist and putting her legs up, as if she was
embarrassed, and shook her shoulder.

“Earth, wake up.”

“…Ugh….”

“You want to see the sunrise?”

“… Tomorrow.”

The sleepy voice reminded me of what happened a few hours ago


and I was very upset. To be honest, it’s true that it was a little, no, a
bit much better, but because of that, my back still throbbed every
time I moved.

“I told you to wake up. The sun will rise soon.”

Yeowoon, who had reached out to force him to wake up, was
confused as she placed her palm on his skin. He felt something
strange about the fact that Yun Ji-gu was warmer than usual. Yeo-
woon lowered his head and placed his forehead against Yun Ji-gu’s.

“…Ha, it really varies.”


I couldn’t help but laugh. Yun Ji-gu’s forehead was warm. I’m furious
because of what he did. Why is it hurting other than me? Isn’t this
really crazy?

Yeowoon forcibly removed the hand that was holding her waist and
staggered out of the room. He brought some emergency medicine
and a water bottle from his bag just in case and forced Yun Ji-gu to
stand up. Yun Ji-gu muttered without even opening his eyes and
swallowed the pill Yeo-woon had put in his mouth. And then he
hugged my waist again and said, “Sleep a little more… .” And he
was cute.

“….”

I could see the red sun peeking out from the water in the distance. It
doesn’t take much time for the sun to fully rise. However, Yun Ji-gu,
who was hugging my waist, patted her hand as if comforting a child,
and Yeo-woon pretended not to be able to resist and lay down next
to him.

In the end, I didn’t see the sun rise on the first day, and a few hours
later, Yun Ji-gu, whose fever had completely subsided, woke up with
a normal face as if something had happened. He confidently told me
not to lie about the fact that he had taken medicine because he had
a fever.

“Brother, we’re doing it again today….”

Jigu Yoon blushed and muttered.

“Earth.”
“yes?”

“Why do you say such ominous things at breakfast?”

Yeowoon placed his spoon on the table. It hasn’t been long since I
got over the feeling of being squeezed to the bone. Suddenly I lost
my taste for food. Ji-gu Yoon looked at me with narrowed eyes, as if
he thought I was strange, and nodded.

“ah. all right. Then I’ll tell you in the evening. Okay?”

“….”

“Did I say something wrong?”

“Yoon Ji-gu.”

“why. Even if you glare at me like that… Hyung, you like me


anyway.”

Jigu Yoon rested his chin and smiled confidently. It was a bonus to
raise my head to show my ring finger, as if showing off the ring I
received yesterday. Because of that source of confidence, my back
got to this point.

‘…But what can I do now?’

My back was a little sore, but it wasn’t unbearable. At this rate, I


might be completely healed by evening. Today, I was planning to
pick up Ji-gu Yoon, drive along the coastal road, and enjoy a date.
And it was the perfect itinerary if we swept up all the dessert places
he wanted to go to.

The day was very clear today too. The sunlight gently breaking on
the water puts my mind at peace. It’s a perfect day to go out and
have fun.

“Shall we come together next year?”

Yeowoon asked about next year’s schedule in a very casual tone.


Yun Ji-gu slowly raised his head, blinked, and then raised his
eyebrows as he swallowed everything in his mouth.

“Isn’t it obvious? “There’s no one else to come with you but me.”

“… You keep climbing up just because I let you sleep once?”

The foot that had been subtly scanning my leg under the table with a
sexual connotation finally returned to its original position. He
instantly became sullen.

“We had sex together, so why do you talk to me like you’re being
patronizing….”

Ji-gu Yoon, who had been sulking alone since the morning, came up
next to Yeo-woon after eating with an extremely upset face. He gave
Yeowoon a kiss on the cheek and then quickly ran away, holding the
toothbrush. It was the moment when he, who was the only one
upset, ended up reconciling on his own.
Turning his back on the scenery filled with the deep blue sea, Yeo-
woon belatedly followed Yun Ji-gu and opened the door. Yun Ji-gu,
who was about to take off his clothes to wash, screamed.

“Ahh! “Why are you coming in!”

“It’s my heart.”

The bathroom door closed with a click. The wind with the scent of
the sea tickled the white curtains through the half-open window. A
mix of loud noises and laughter came from beyond the closed door.

The two people had a very trivial morning because they cherished
each other.

It was an extremely ordinary time, something that will happen


countless times in the future.

The Guild Member Next Door is Completed.


#Side Story 1.
Little Forest

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Over there.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Hey??

[Guild] neutaaaa: Me?

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Yes, you

“…what?”

Jigu Yoon stopped what he was doing and frowned. Is that


cockroach crazy? Why are you suddenly talking shit about Yeo-woon
Lee?

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Are you a hacker? I’m cautious, but I can’t
help but wonder…

[Guild] neutaaaa: What are you talking about haha?

[Guild] neutaaaa: They suddenly change people’s jobs….


I couldn’t help but laugh. Among them, the person who knows the
best about Yeowoon is himself. I began to feel anxious to press the
bridge of the cockroach’s nose as it pretended to know what it was
talking about.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: What is a hacker?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: I have nothing to steal from Newta’s account.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: I know that person is a complete bastard, right?


LOL

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hahahahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Whisper] neutaaaa: Do you want to search?^^

“No matter why I take your side, it’s an uproar.”

I brought this up in an attempt to gain some favor in my own way.


Jigu Yoon grumbled dissatisfiedly.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: But why aren’t you wearing a cape?

[Guild] Park Hwibug: That’s right

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ??
Cloak, you didn’t say anything like that.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Wow, I understand after listening to it.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: You are a person who risks your life on
Newta’s cloak.

[Guild] neutaaaa: No, not even your life;;

[Guild] al0ha: I guess you’re really Newta?

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Wow….

Yun Ji-gu was also a little intrigued by the idea of Lee Yeo-woon not
wearing a cape. Why does Lee Yeowoon take off her cape? Are you
really not my brother?

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Anyway, I don’t know if it’s someone else, but
it’s a bit strange for Newta to do that.

Although I also had doubts, I thought I should at least take my


lover’s side. Ji-gu Yoon began to firmly take Yeo-woon’s side,
crushing the sprouts of suspicion that were creeping in.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: I think you’re pushing it too far haha.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: I guess he took his clothes off for a moment >_<
[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Wait a minute, isn’t it? You’ve been doing that
since before.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Looks like a hacker is stealing items

[Guild] Ji9 Star: What if I go and it’s a lie?

[Guild] Cat Cat Me Cat: If it’s not true, you’re dead lol.

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: ㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] Ji9 Star: Then, if it’s a lie, can I sell your information to
Nyangkal?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ㅇ

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: It looks like it’s true haha sorry~

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Accumulate one bamboo stick

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Transfer completed to the captain.

[Guild] Cat Cat Cat Cat: ㅇㅋ

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Why am I suddenly


Seeing that he didn’t change his words even when I stimulated the
part that turned on his anger switch these days, it didn’t seem like
he was lying. Ji-gu Yoon immediately switched to couple chat and
asked ‘Newta’ directly, who did not make any excuses.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Hey you

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Log out when your brother says nice things to
you.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Is he really a beggar so he doesn’t have anything


to shave? lol

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: You’ll know it when you see it haha

[Couple] neutaaaa: Byung-ah, are you really a Digigossipper?^^

[Couple] neutaaaa: Are you dating a beggar? damn….

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Huh

[Couple] neutaaaa: What are you talking about, are you going to
scold Yoon Ji-gu?

[Couple] neutaaaa: And who is the older brother?

“… You’re my brother, right?”


The only person who knows my real name and calls me by the
strange title of Byeong-un is Lee Yeo-woon. Therefore, this was not
the work of a hacker.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Hahaha, I’m just kidding >_<

[Couple] neutaaaa: Be carefulㅡㅡ

“Wow, I almost got into big trouble.”

Ji-gu Yoon, who pretended not to have any suspicions from the
beginning and immediately changed his stance, came forward and
began to represent Yeo-woon Lee’s position.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Breaking News

[Guild] Ji9 Star: I think that’s Newta.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: How do you know that?

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Passed my test >_<!

[Guild] al0ha: Test?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: What test is it?

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Affection Test♥


[Guild] al0ha: Ah yes

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Ah yes

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Ah yes

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Wasn’t he a shocking hacker?

Park Hwibugrae and Kitty Nyang Na Nyang, who had been making a
fuss and demanding to log out immediately, finally became quiet. Ji-
gu Yoon was flattered by the thought that he had proven Yeo-woon’s
innocence.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Why are you arresting someone for no reason?


Apologize.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Wow, but the only one who takes your side is
your lover hahaha

[Guild] neutaaaa: Distinction ㅜㅜ

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: People are crying, apologize right away;;

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: ssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Sigh

[Guild] neutaaaa: It’s okay~


[Guild] neutaaaa: That could happen ^^ Please don’t do that again.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: You’re kind of cool haha.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Yes haha

“what?”

Jigu Yoon crossed his arms and glared at the chat window. Even
though she was the one who cleared up all these
misunderstandings, Yeowoon didn’t even say thank you to me. Why
on earth are they creating a warm atmosphere among themselves?
I didn’t like this situation at all.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: But

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Even though it’s like this, what if it’s
really a hacker?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Oh, it’s you?

Ji-gu Yoon was frustrated with people who doubted Yeo-woon on a


subject that he himself had some doubts about.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: To be honest, I didn’t even check his face.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Newta, you said before that you didn’t
even set a secondary password because you were too lazy.
Wow, that’s a bit much.

“I’ll have to go and do it.”

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Isn’t this a completely hack restaurant?

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: ㄷㄷ

[Guild] Park Hwibug: After listening to it, it seems like it’s true….

“What is right?”

Yun Ji-gu was flattered. After all, you are the one who knows best
about lingering emotions. There was no need for him to even call.
There was something between Lee Yeo-woon and himself that other
people did not have. Unlike other guild members, he and I have a
special relationship, and we even met in person and even called him
by his nickname.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: I asked on Giltalk, and luckily it was Newta


himself ^^

Hearing his words, I picked up my phone and checked the guild talk,
and there was a message from the guild master, Captain Poseidon,
requesting identity verification along with a screen capture. Yeowoon
simply typed a single word, ‘ㅇ’.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Why do you keep doubting me?


[Guild] Halloween Branch: Sigh….

[Guild] neutaaaa: It’s okay~

[Guild] Halloween branch: ㅱㅅ

[Guild] neutaaaa: Haha

[Guild] Park Hwibug: LOL Look at the change in attitude, it’s cool.

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahaha

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Hahahahahahaha

[Guild] Kidney Rat: Hahahahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Still, I’m the only one who takes your side, right?
>_<

[Guild] neutaaaa: Oh my gosh, I only have honey ><♥♥

Jigu Yoon stared at the suddenly frozen chat window, his cheeks
blushing furiously. Suddenly, I really liked Lee Yeowoon. I liked Lee
Yeo-woon calling herself Byeong-un, and I also loved nicknames that
I couldn’t get used to, like honey or honey.
[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Why would they do something like that if
they aren’t really dating?

[Guild] Park Hwibug: I think we’re dating haha

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Probably not.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Why are you guys so serious?
They’re both guys, but that doesn’t seem right haha.

[Guild] Wanda Wanda: Hahahaha, you seem so serious.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: What am I?

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Regardless of gender, if you really date, you


can’t do something like that.

[Guild] Wanduwandya: 100% open species concept

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: That’s right

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: It would be fun to date! Haha

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: What’s fun about that? Haha, it’s more fun
for you to date a girl.

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: ?^^


[Guild] Wandu Wanda: You were wrong, cat.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: PVP, please save me

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Haha, get it quickly, give it to me ^^

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Gangster Meow Meow

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Anyway, I’m Bali.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahaha

Whether or not there is a cyber stalker attached to Cat Meow Meow,


that is fake and our relationship is real…. People who knew so little
seemed foolish. My heart swelled as I thought that only I knew Yeo-
woon’s side that they did not know. Every time something like this
happened, Ji-gu Yun would be overcome with a strange sense of
satisfaction.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Can I say this?

[Guild] Park Hwibug: At first, I thought I felt really sorry for Newta.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Now we’re just like each other.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Newta or Earth Star~

[Guild] Park Hwibug: There, there~~~


[Guild] al0ha: Same level? Hahahahahahaha It’s a disgrace.

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ??

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahahaha, Newta didn’t have this


kind of image to begin with….

[Guild] neutaaaa: Did I say that?

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: ㅇㅇ Perfect

[Guild] Park Hwibug: At first, Newta was always bothered by


Earthstar.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: You always seemed unhappy, but now you just
feel like a second Earth.

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: It’s dyed ㅠㅠ

[Guild] Ji9 Star: Don’t disqualify me

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Looks like the Earth = swearing? lol

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: It’s a curse ㅡㅡ

[Guild] Park Hwibug: Do you understand?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: That’s insultingㅅㅂ


[Guild] Park Hwibug: Oh haha, he’s pretty smart haha.

“What is the resemblance?”

Jigu Yoon grumbled and refuted the words of the guild members.
Far from being similar, Yeowoon and himself were completely
different, from body type to appearance to personality and lifestyle.
On the contrary, if Yeo-woon had a personality similar to mine, they
would never have become this close in their lives. When Yoon Ji-gu
saw someone who seemed like he was the same type of person, he
was the first to avoid them.

It was then.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Oh, I got it.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I guess we look alike because we love each other


^-^

“… Cough!”

At Yeowoon’s words, a momentary silence filled the guild chat


window. Yun Ji-gu was instantly shocked by those words and
chuckled, and round tears formed at the corners of his sharp eyes.

[Guild] al0ha: Anyone going to the Milky Way;

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Me….


[Guild] Wandu Wanda: What will happen to this atmosphere?

“How can this guy say something like this so casually?”

After the coughing finally stopped, Yun Ji-gu covered his face with
one hand and shouted softly, so that no one would see it. Yes, love.
So they look alike. My face felt hot just from muttering it to myself in
my mouth.

[Guild] Park Hwibeolae: Why are you like that hahahahahahahaha

[Guild] neutaaaa: ? Because I love you^^

[Guild] al0ha: Please shut your mouth

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅇㅋ ^^

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Sometimes, when I see him, he looks bigger
than the stars on Earth.

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: It seems to be changing day by day.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: ?

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: I didn’t invite you, so go in. ㄹㅇ Various;

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Yep,,ㅠ


[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hahahaha

“….”

That’s why they resemble each other. Lee Yeowoon really loves
me…? Look at that. Ji-gu Yoon tightly closed his twitching lips and
suppressed the overflowing affection.

Other people couldn’t recognize him right away because their


relationship with Yeo-woon was so superficial, but he and he could
recognize each other at any time with just a single word of
conversation. It was thrilling that none of the guild members noticed
their relationship. I felt like I was the only one special.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: I understand the reason! Someone must have


possessed Newta’s body;;;

[Guild] neutaaaa: ?

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: #Possessed Water

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwibug: It’s not like Newta to take off his cape haha.

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug-rae: It looks like he’s been left out since he’s
acting more like the Earth today?

[Guild] al0ha: Hmm


[Guild] neutaaaa: Interesting.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: So I thought about it for a while and I guess

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Does it seem like the Earth Star has
possessed Newta’s body?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ? Then what am I…. - _-;

[Guild] Park Hwibug: ?? Iknow, right…what?

Even if what Park Hwibug said was bullshit, we have yet to hear
anything about why Yeo-woon took off his cloak. For Lee Yeo-woon,
the cloak was the reason for creating illusions and one of the
elements she could never give up no matter what. There must be a
reason why he suddenly changed his mind after not even pretending
to listen to me begging him to take off his cloak.

“…Ah, gasp!”

Yun Ji-gu remembered something and suddenly became anxious.


He immediately switched the in-game chat to a couple chat and
asked very privately so that only the lingering feelings could be seen.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Brother…

[Couple] neutaaaa: Ungh

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Maybe


[Couple] neutaaaa: Huh?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Are you giving up Illusion?ㅠㅠ

[Couple] neutaaaa: Suddenly? LOL

As if I wasn’t the only one who had that thought, not long after, the
guild master also carefully asked the same question.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Newta, are you quitting the game? .

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Wow, I just thought of that tooㅜㅜ

[Guild] al0ha: Whoever you like?

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Pay back my money first and then quit.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I’m not giving up lol You’ve been spreading rumors
since a while ago….

[Guild] neutaaaa: But Wandu, I have never borrowed money from


you?

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Oh, I’m not fooled.

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅡㅡ

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: I thought Newta was organizing the items.


[Guild] Captain Poseidon: I heard you took off your cloak, so I was
just skeptical.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: If not, I’m glad.

[Guild] neutaaaa: I just changed clothes?

“No, something is strange.”

Yun Ji-gu shook his head. If you’re just going to change clothes,
there’s no reason for the story to be this long. Because I would have
put that damn cape back on top of the changed outfit…. There must
be a reason why Park Hwibuglae and Cat Cat Cat Cat brought up
this story.

Ji-gu Yoon immediately teleported and ran to where his character


was. There were already there, Nyangnyangnannyang and Park
Hwibugae, standing by the side as if to protect Yeo-woon, and in
addition, the Poseidon guild members who had rushed in after
hearing the news were crowded together. Aloha started to get angry,
firing her skills in all directions.

[All] Park Hwibugae: #clarification

[All] al0ha: Explain!

[All] Captain Poseidon: Please explain!

[All] Wandu Wandya: Explain!


[All] neutaaaa: No

[All] neutaaaa: At one point, they told me to take off my clothes


because they were dirty, but then I actually took them off, so they
protested and made an uproar….

All the guild members quit what they were doing and came to check
Yeo-woon’s outfit. He had taken off the jet-black cloak that looked
like a piece of mat, and instead was wearing clothes that looked like
rags. I’m sure I’ve seen it somewhere, but since I can’t remember it,
it seems to be a miscellaneous item that isn’t even in regular
demand.

“… Um, what is that?”

Yun Ji-gu was quite embarrassed. I also wondered where I got those
clothes.

When I secretly spied on Yeo-woon, who had access to the


equipment open, I found out that the name of the set of clothes he
was wearing was ‘Philosopher’s Clothes.’ It’s just ‘philosopher’s
clothes,’ without any modifier attached to the front. As the name
suggests, it looked like something out of a high school ethics
textbook, but it wasn’t just any clothes; the ends were tattered and
there were scuff marks here and there, so it looked quite worn.

[All] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Then you don’t wear a cape anymore?

[All] neutaaaa: Well, for now…


[All] ㅈi9 stars: ㅁ ㅓ?

“Nonsense!”

Jigu Yoon muttered without realizing it. It’s not just anyone else, but
Yeo-Woon Lee who throws away his cloak. This couldn’t have
happened. That was no longer Lee Yeo-un!

Yun Ji-gu searched through his memories and barely remembered


where that shabby-looking piece of cloth came from. It was one of
the clothes distributed when updating the scenario story a few years
ago. It was so random that you could receive multiple punishments
just by checking attendance consistently.

Ji-gu Yoon also collected event items at that time and purchased
infinite puzzle items that increased the probability of strengthening,
and I remember swearing when that stone stick appeared in the
process. This was because the distributed items were not
particularly pretty and had no value as fashion items. Because of
this, the philosopher’s clothes were forgotten by everyone in less
than a week, and I also remember sending them by mail to a
random warehouse. I thought that if I searched through the
abandoned warehouse bags, I might come across at least one set.

‘That’s a very rare item. Where did you get it?’

Behind Lee Yeo-un, whose body was covered in pure white clothes,
a lumpy muscle rabbit stood tall as if protecting him. Even looking at
it again, it was a taste I couldn’t understand. If you don’t turn on the
battle mode, it usually looks small and cute, but I couldn’t figure out
why the village turned on the pet battle mode. It seemed that
Yeowoon preferred the appearance of a lumpy rabbit rather than a
regular rabbit.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Bro, can I just ask you one question and rent it??

Ji-gu Yoon switched to couple chat so that only Yeo-woon could see
and asked quietly.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahaha, how far is it??

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Cloak

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: You took your clothes off to give it to someone
else…? lol

It was a very possible story for Lee Yeo-woon, who had a habit of
giving anything to people who were in the same game.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahaha

[Couple] neutaaaa: It’s still there

[Couple] neutaaaa: I have a few spares. Would you like one for you?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ㄴ

I already had one. It wasn’t intentional, but….


[Couple] neutaaaa: ㅠㅠ

Anyway, it’s a cloak that I cherished dearly. Why on earth was the
person who insisted that he would not take off his cloak no matter
what, and who looked so sweaty with a straight face when the guild
members asked him to take off his cloak?

“… What was really written?”

I’m really worried. I was wondering whether I should at least call him
or secretly ask him if he was in pain when I met him today. Someone
was passing by where the Poseidon guild members were gathered,
and suddenly turned around and stood proudly in front of Yeowoon.

[All] Oak Forest Gangster: ㅎㅎㅎㅇ

A person I saw for the first time raised his fist above his head and
said hello.

[All] neutaaaa: haha

Yeo-woon also returned the greeting by raising his fist, and after a
brief greeting, the oak forest gangster left on his way without any
regrets. The Oak Forest gangster was wearing the same
philosopher clothes as Yeowoon, and the awkward motion of raising
his fist above his head was a unique expression of emotion in Little
Forest.

Only then was Jigu Yoon able to guess that those clothes were
currently popular among users from Little Foret.
[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: After all, that person was wearing
the same clothes.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Looks like a fucking refugee hahaha

[Guild] neutaaaa: ?

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Oh sorry

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Haha, Newta is swearing in a whisper.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Too much to say ㅠㅠㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ


[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Then can I just say Godmanfore?

[Guild] Halloween Branch: Yep….


Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: By the way, has the popular item


changed?

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅇㅇ

Do popular items change? What on earth caused those stubborn


refugees to wear other clothes instead of cloaks? It was so absurd
that I couldn’t even laugh.
[Guild] al0ha: Nyuta, I also have one question. Just one question.

[Guild] neutaaaa: Yes

[Guild] al0ha: Is there a look duck in any game?

[Guild] al0ha: Then it would be natural for Lipo to have a look duck
as well.

[Guild] al0ha: Did they go to other games besides Illusion? Haha

[Guild] neutaaaa: ㅅㅂ

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: Why are clothes like that popular among you? Did only
concept lovers switch to illusion?

[Guild] neutaaaa: No;

[Guild] al0ha: Then what’s wrong? Among the Little Fore people who
remain in the illusion…. Looks like Lukduk has almost been wiped
out?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: It hurts my bones hahahahahahaha

[Guild] neutaaaa: ;;
[Guild] al0ha: There is a Look Duck, right?

[Guild] neutaaaa: I am there

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: ?

[Guild] al0ha: ?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Just kiddingㅡㅡ

[Guild] neutaaaa: Look duck? Of course, lipo is also an alpha


product^^;;

It was such an obvious statement, but Yoon Ji-gu’s thoughts froze


for a moment when he heard those words. In any game, there are
bound to be users who start the game just for customization. People
who devote their lives to customizing their characters exist in every
game.

However, the relationship between the Little Forest refugees and the
word ‘look-deok’, which he saw and felt, felt like they could not mix
like water and oil.

Moreover, Yeo-woon calling himself Luk-deok was not a statement


that could be overlooked, no matter how much one liked him. I was
glad it was a joke.

“No, what kind of person would pick up clothes like that and wear
them?”
Currently, Yeo-woon Lee was acting like a beggar, to put it bluntly.

[Guild] neutaaaa: But Rookducks also wear capes hahaha because


that’s fundamental.

[Guild] Park Hwibug: No, then it’s not a look-deok lol.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: fake look lol

[Guild] neutaaaa: It’s pretty….

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: Not pretty

[Guild] al0ha: What kind of game is Little Fore playing? Why are
there only people like you?

[Guild] neutaaaa: If you’re curious, would you like to try it?

[Guild] neutaaaa: If you start now, you can get a lot of items.

[Guild] neutaaaa: To me haha

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ?

Yun Ji-gu could not believe what was happening before his eyes.
What is this guy doing now? Are you trying to attract someone else
when your lover is clearly watching?
[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ????

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ?????????

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ????????????

[Guild] al0ha: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Newta stimulated the already sensitive captain
even more…

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] neutaaaa: ssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Sorry for doing something

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Why are you doing this?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Little? Foret? Ga? What is it?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Oh, I’m so sorry hahahahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: Gilma, calm down…Calm down.


[Guild] al0ha: I’m not going to any other games. Long live Illusion!

[Guild] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

“….”

Yun Ji-gu stood up halfway from his chair and glared at the monitor
as if he were displeased. If you’re going to take me, take me, aloha.
Are you seducing that caveman-looking guy? It seemed like
Yeowoon Lee hadn’t come to his senses yet.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Don’t cheat….

[Couple] neutaaaa: Huh?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Don’t take anyone else there but me. Why are
you flirting with someone else? Are you a flirt?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Calm down

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Jealousy Operation I told you never to do


something like this and it doesn’t work.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Haha, I think we totally get along…

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: If this isn’t an affair, what is it? You’re cheating on
your girlfriend right now in front of you. Would you like it if someone I
don’t know goes to another game with you and flirts with you
secretly? Think about it from your point of view, but I really don’t
think so. No, is it okay to do that? Just an example.

[Couple] neutaaaa:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahaha it’s a bit long I need some time to interpret it ㄱㄷ

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahaha wait a minute!!

[Couple] neutaaaa: Oh sorry

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahahaha

[Couple] neutaaaa: Ah hahahaha

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

Smile? This situation seems like a joke. I knew he was tactless, but I
never dreamed that he would be a cold-blooded person who would
laugh even in situations like this. Ji-gu Yoon glared at Yeo-woon’s
character with a smileless face.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Earth

[Couple] neutaaaa: I’m sorry

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Of course it should be.


[Couple] neuaaaa: Then will you go with me?

[Couple] neuaaaa: Lipokkkkkkkkkkkkkk

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: But why are you smiling….

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m not kidding

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahahaha

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: It’s not a joke

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahaha

[Couple] neutaaaa: Okay.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: What did you know? Again, without knowing
anything.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Baby, I’m sorry!!!!!

[Couple] i9star:
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
aaaaaaaaaaaa

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha


Yoon Ji-gu, who was on the verge of ending the game by pressing
ESC, finally calmed down and took a deep breath. My heart was
pounding wildly as to what that was. Unable to hide his embarrassed
face, he pursed his lips and expressed his dissatisfaction.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: What are you doing?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Kiss

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Are you crazy?

[Couple] neutaaaa: No?

It became a hobby for Yeowoon to make fun of himself like that


every time. I would be lying if I said I didn’t feel a little resentful. He
also wanted to tease Lee Yeo-woon to his heart’s content by making
her blush and embarrass her. However, Yeo-woon rarely gave him a
break, and Yoon Ji-gu was a human being more suitable for Yeo-
woon to make fun of than anyone else in the world.

“They say an eye for an eye and a nose for a nose.”

…Am I right? It may seem strange, but the context is probably


similar. Ji-gu Yoon decided to embarrass Yeo-woon Lee in the same
way. But when I actually wrote it down, I was so embarrassed that
my face got hot.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, two sides….♥ >3<


Let everything happen. Finally, after hesitating, Ji-gu Yoon pressed
the Enter key and turned his chair around to cool his red face.

After a while, the cell phone on the desk vibrated and a video call
came in.

‘Oh, fuck! Just don’t do it. I said it for no reason.’

I couldn’t answer the phone because my face felt like it was going to
explode. Ji-gu Yoon closed his eyes tightly and gently pushed the
phone away with his fingertip.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Seungyeon, answer the phone^^

[Couple] neutaaaa: Why aren’t you answering the phone?^^

[Couple] neutaaaa: Answer the phone^^

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: I don’t like it;

The more I thought about it, the more embarrassed I became.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Why^^

[Couple] neutaaaa: Answer the phone^^

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: I’m busy


[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahaha why are you hiding after doing
something cute?

[Couple] neutaaaa: I guess I’m a little scared to do it face to face~?


^^

I’m scared. At those words, Ji-gu Yun unconsciously put his hands
on the keyboard and refuted Yeo-woon’s words.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Haha, it’s not like that. I can do it, but I don’t do it
on purpose.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: My brother is the one

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: From the morning, I’m talking about Yeongtong
>_< LOL

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: It’s just so haha You always show that you like
me

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Bro, I like you a lot, dog man haha.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Byung-a^^

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Why are you calling me that again?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Please call me something other than that


nickname.
[Couple] neutaaaa: It’s not a nickname….?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Our Earth

[Couple] neutaaaa: Prevent excessive self-consciousness and


regain a healthy life

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: We<<< kekekeke >ㅅ< kekekeke

[Couple] neutaaaa: I’m off topic again!

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: What should I do lol So you hate me?

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Why is there no answer?

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: Brother?

Ji-ing, ji-ing.

The phone vibrated again for a long time. Ji-gu Yoon looked at the
name on the screen with shaking eyes, straightened his hair, and
answered the phone pretending to be indifferent.

“why?”

When I raised my head and asked, pretending to be indifferent,


Yeowoon smiled faintly. The scenery of Lee Yeo-woon’s house was
visible behind him in the liquid crystal display.
“Hello, bro?”

-….

“Why, why aren’t you saying anything? “Is there a lag?”

-….

At first glance, it looked like the screen was broken and frozen, but if
you looked closely, you could clearly see the afterglow blinking
blankly. Yoon Ji-gu’s face turned red when he realized that he was
making fun of him again.

“Oh really! “Here we go again.”

Yoon Ji-gu, who lost his composure, grumbled and lost his temper.
Nevertheless, Lee Yeo-woon on the screen said nothing and only
stared at herself with her eyes closed.

‘Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you surprised? Are you
surprised to see my face? Of course, what I see right now is nothing
else but my face. Oh, fuck. If I had known that I would heal in the
morning, I would have washed my hair as soon as I woke up in the
morning instead of last night…. Or did you have something on your
face? My eyes aren’t swollen. ‘Can’t I be a little ugly today?!’

-….

As all kinds of thoughts were passing through Yeo-woon’s gaze, the


frozen screen moved as if there was an error.
“uh?”

-side.

Yeowoon’s face suddenly came forward, and without even saying a


word, he just put his pink lips together and pretended to kiss me
loudly before hanging up the phone. Yun Ji-gu stopped breathing
with a bright red face.

“…!”

You called me on the phone and just stared at me for over a minute
just to pull off a joke like this? For some reason, the corners of his
eyes seemed to be smiling a little!

[Couple] neutaaaa: Answer complete

[Couple] ㅈi9Star: ㄴㅔ?

[Couple] neutaaaa: I like it~

[Couple] neutaaaa: You

[Couple] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

“…Ah, really, why are you like that!”


Fuck! Ji-gu Yoon lowered his head, burying his face in his large
hands. The tip of her ear sticking out between her black hair was as
bright red as an apple.

I looked it up and found that it came out as an event costume when


the scenario was updated two years ago…There’s such a cute item,
so why isn’t everyone wearing it?

I found this while running the coordination sim, but why isn’t it on the
auction house? hoxy Not for sale or really expensive?? Sadㅠㅠ

Temple of Tenon_.jpg)

Ugh
too much

It’s pretty---!

If you apply it together with special long wave hair with dyed silver
hair, it looks exactly the same as Godtenonㅠㅠㅋ

Just ho-li

Tenon, this trash bastard has a really shitty personality, but his face
is so beautiful that it’s the coolest thing in the world, I’m dying….

(screenshot.jpg)

I merged it with the map I found while searching for the illusion
temple background, and it looks roughly like Tenon Temple, right??

Hehehe, I suddenly burst into tears haha, please save Tenon.

Looking for dwarf families to cosplay and make memories together.

-Not much haha. Looks like a rag.

⤷If you’re talking about Tenon, he’s a slut.


Not ⤷, but the clothes you wore^^

⤷ㄱㅊ It’s not my clothes, it’s Tenon’s clothes. It’s a rag~ :)

⤷Crazy guy, I can’t understand you, get out of here

⤷It’s my post, shouldn’t you get out of the way first? Haha

⤷It is a scene where an argument starts without context and there


is no harm done.

⤷ Hahahahahahahahahaha

⤷ Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

-Looks like sunset haha

⤷Damn it

⤷Shut up

-Do you really think she’s pretty? Just a Greek and Roman god.

-Is that his name again?

-I wish I had dug up the repo bulletin board separately and locked
them all in there….
⤷Wow! Isn’t this a social party place? LOL

⤷Jonjamgak

⤷I am a dwarf, but I agree unconditionally ^^

⤷ㅈㄴThat sounds fun haha I agree too.

⤷Is this a friend search bulletin board?

⤷ That’s crazy, why didn’t I think of this? Guys, I have a suggestion.

⤷If you are going to sell it, please sell it by server><

-(Photo) This is a brilliant set of fuses, but isn’t this one better? LOL
The market price is pretty good, but you can get the full set for 500
million won! And since the priest set is based on the Sky Temple, it
will fit better with that background. The set effect is also good haha

⤷No, it looks so pretty

⤷ㄴ?? Isn’t it good to be pretty? @.@

⤷The decorations are too many and flashy, so it’s a bit too much for
Tenon, who is a beggar.

⤷No, it’s pretty and flashy, but what do you mean it’s not that good?
-Who the hell is Tenon? Hahahaha.

⤷Ah, I’m looking for it. Taggame villain NPC

- I can understand how disgusting these bastards are, who cannot


accept a villain purely as a villain and suck out their marrow. Haha.
Why do you criticize such hateful trash so much?

⤷Even after giving birth to someone like you, your father didn’t
abandon you and raised you. So what if we suck at Tenon? Enjoy~!
(Recommended 23)

⤷ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋYou know that lol.

⤷ㄴㅅㅂ
kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
k

⤷Enjoy~ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-You say you are a god, but why are you a beggar??

⤷Are you curious why Tenon is a god and a fucking bastard? You
must be curious about the story of the villain Shin, who was nothing
but garbage, but lost everything and became a beggar in an instant,
right? If you’re curious, why not try Little Foret? You have to try this
for yourself to be impressed…. The scenario is fun, so take this
opportunity to start it. It’s not because I’m a dwarf, but objectively,
it’s really a god game with a story haha. I also started playing
because I was hooked by the story. Among the games I’ve played,
the game is as solid as Little Fore. I didn’t see a single thing lol It’s
awesome!!! In fact, there are a lot of kids who start just to read the
story. The screenwriter seems to be a really famous person. I don’t
know who he is, but especially from the beginning of the adventure,
it might be a bit like a full-length fantasy novel. For more information,
visit www.littleforest2.net

⤷ Wow, Lipo is really a manga game…. I didn’t realize it, but after
reading this comment, I can feel the energy of Mangame in my skin.

⤷ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

⤷ㄴhahahahahahahahahahahaha

⤷Take a breath and speak hahahahaha

-Do normal people lose their sense of aesthetics after playing that
game? I guess there are no look ducks in Little Fore. They are
worse than our game’s tough squad.

⤷What are you talking about? Haha, these guys are the real
experts. Haha. If you even have crucian lips, you are a ranker in the
top 100^^ It seems like you don’t know anything.

⤷ㅈㄴ I don’t know. There are some idiots at the peak of Look Duck,
what are you talking about?

⤷ㄴㅁㅈ Gadppaks have all the most rare items^^ They say they’re
the best….
⤷The three people above seem to be very tight-knit
(Recommendation 18)

-Characteristics of liporefugees. I usually don’t see it and don’t


comment very often, but my execution skills are at max level. I don’t
know where everyone is hiding and coming out. Is it true that people
are rushing up to me asking for philosopher clothes?

- Stop mentioning other games.

⤷Welcome, Chief Justice~

-Today, there were a million posts saying that Turning Racing and
Benny Girls collaborated, but why can’t it just be a repo post? The
indigenous people’s lipo-limited territoriality makes me cry ㅠㅠ

⤷Begirl is cute haha If you like it, why not collaborate with Lipodo
Begirl?

⤷ㄴSay something that makes sense…. Collaboration with a group


of female idols? Lipo?

⤷Where do you get the money for that?ㅠㅠ?

⤷ㅠㅠ It’s a shitty game, even if we mention it all day long, new
users never come in, which hurts us again.

⤷(((((Lipo))))) ㅠㅠㅠ
⤷ㅠㅠㅠㅠKeep the repoㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

⤷Fuck, pretend to feel sorry for you guysㅡㅡ Because I don’t feel
sorry for you one bit

-Refugees are really gloomy. You don’t usually see them, but
whenever a repo post appears, the number of views goes up.

-Why aren’t the number of gangsters decreasing? What’s going on


mentally

⤷It seems like you have basically developed mental discipline after
playing the game once in a big way? Unless the existing Nassem
illusion explodes, it will be difficult to break their mentality.

-Still, that outfit is white and looks a bit like a rag, but isn’t it better
than the cape before? Hahaha (I don’t accept cape sleeves, I
already have three to share and I’m wearing one now too;;)

⤷Stop shooting, friendly forces.

⤷ㄴㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

⤷ Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

⤷Parents phrases and phrases kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

-and…I think a cape would be better haha.


⤷Thank you for loving the cloak><

-That’s a distributed miscellaneous item, so even if you put it on the


auction house, no one will buy it. That’s why it’s not on the auction
house. There must be a lot of people who have it, right? At the time,
I just sprayed it…. Anyone can write a message on the trading shop.
I have 4 to give you.

⤷Wow, it’s me

⤷Me.

⤷I love you

-No haha, now the philosopher’s clothes are a piece of cake?

-Who buys that….lol

⤷It was like that in Jet Black Cloak. Who buys that?;ㅡㅡ

-Is there anyone else who needs philosopher clothes? Comment if


you have it

⤷I

⤷Me!!!

⤷Here I am
⤷ㅈㅓ

⤷Is it late? How many are there? Just give it to me

⤷ㅋ I didn’t say I would give it to you. I guess I can sell it^^ There
are a lot of people looking for it ㄱㅅㄱㅅ (9 recommended, 17 not
recommended)

⤷ㄴFucking hope torture bastard haha.

⤷Because of you, I’m going to commit suicide.

⤷ㄴhahahahahahahahahahaha

-I don’t even remember, but I looked through the warehouse just in


case and it was there. I don’t know how many I sprayed, but there
are seven.

⤷Sell it to the kids above.

-Wow hahahaha I just posted it on the auction site with an instant


sale price of 100 million won and it sold right away hahahaha

⤷ㅁㅊThey must really have a lot of money hahaha.

⤷Wow, it’s already 100 million??

⤷ㅇㅇㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ It might go up further?


⤷I just heard a whisper from Seoma and sold it for 3,000, but it was
expensive…I should go to the auction house

⤷Is this the Truman Show? Am I dreaming? Why are you really
doing that???

⤷I sold it with a ghost cat last year, but I didn’t know it would turn
out well. It’s such a shame….ㅜㅜ

-Do you guys just eat and play games? The loudspeaker is ringing
so loud that you are looking for something for sale right away. It’s so
noisy that you can’t farm; I hate this damn guy who just plays games
because he has nothing to do.

⤷<Gyeong> Self-introduction contest grand prize<axis>

⤷ㅋㅋㅋ I’m playing a game right now….

⤷Losing….

⤷Losing….

⤷ Let’s not draw a line between gamers who are all the same. In the
eyes of Godbanners, both you and I are screwed.

-Post the wanted message on the trading page ^^ If you look at the
bulletin board menu, there are a lot of them. If you have an eye for
something, give it a try~ Don’t dominate the chat room, and
everyone follow the rules.
⤷Medal for studying abroad

⤷Your medal!

-But isn’t the screenshot of Sky Temple in the main text 220 hunting
grounds? Low-level players will get hit and fall before they can even
take a screenshot. Is that okay?

⤷ㄱㄴㄲ In particular, the Lipo refugees are more playful than the
high level kids haha. Let’s not hunt much and just stick together, dig,
dance, and play.

⤷There are so many surprises haha. They dug up the party


matching and gave out the Whole Blue code, and they even held a
vocal imitation contest there. I also went in once out of curiosity, and
I sang songs and did everything. It was so much fun haha.

⤷Refugees should be surprised. Doesn’t the fact that there are a lot
of low-level workers mean that part-time jobs at Sky Temple are a
pie in the sky? I’m already posting part-time work by the hour^-^

⤷ㄴㅇㄴReverse ideaㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

⤷ㄴGenius hahahahahahahaha

-Why are you looking for tag game clothes here? Go to the game
and get them.

⤷Aang, let’s act like there’s no one in Lippo♥


-Is the philosopher’s suit real? The lowest price is 3,000 haha.

⤷Look above, there is someone who sold it for 100 million wonㄷㄷ

⤷As expected, Jonber wins haha.

***

Ji-gu Yoon sat in front of the Isis auction house and observed the
people passing by for an hour. It was true that those clothes were
popular among refugees these days. There seemed to be well over
thirty people wearing clothes that looked like straw.

‘Why are they like that? Now, the main game is an illusion, so why
does everyone miss the past games so much?’

For me, I couldn’t understand that feeling. I saw an article saying


that Illusion’s ‘philosopher’s clothes’ are almost similar to the clothes
worn by the villain NPC in Little Forest 2. but…I couldn’t understand
what the hell was wrong with one NPC, Naburaeng, copying his
clothes.

‘It really sucks.’


Ji-gu Yoon hinted to Yeo-woon Lee that they could wear the shabby
clothes later and put on a couple’s outfit right now, but she didn’t
accept it at all. I even heard a heinous comment saying that since
this is a trend these days, they will give me one too.

The cloak lasted for over a year, so will that philosopher’s clothes
last a year too? It was terrible just to think about it. Those are
disruptive species to the game ecosystem.

The couple items I matched with the jet-black cloak were all covered
by the cloak, which looked like crap, but since the philosopher’s
clothes are one piece, I couldn’t match either the top or bottom with
the same item. Lee Yeo-woon, in particular, was seriously
overindulging, and even took off the rabbit ears she had worn as a
couple item, saying she couldn’t wear hats or accessories that didn’t
match her clothes.

Ji-gu Yoon thought for a while and spoke to Yeo-woon Lee.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Bro, I think I’m getting sick of illusions.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Isn’t it obvious?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Try it for just one hour a day

[Couple] neutaaaa: Then it will be fun again

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: ㅡㅡ Did you finish what you said?

[Couple] neutaaaa: Why?


‘what. Do you think it’s natural to get tired of playing games at home
all day with nothing to do? Of course. ‘I brought this up just to lay
the groundwork, but what does he know!’

Ji-gu Yoon distorted and interpreted Yeo-woon’s words alone, and


got angry on his own.

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Ah anyway >_<

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: It’s been a while since I thought I’d try Little
Forena…

[Couple] neutaaaa: Wow really??

‘neutaaaa has terminated the connection.’

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Yes

[Couple] ㅈi9 Byul: Wow, he leaves before I can answer…

Not long after, Yeo-woon’s message arrived.

Lee Yeowoon hyung♥

Where is Earth??^^

It looks like you are already connected to Little Forest. It wasn’t even
funny to see Lee Yeo-woon fluttering about as he was caught by a
remark thrown just in case.

Lee Yeowoon hyung♥

You ask me where it is^^

Ah, I’m going in;; urging

Lee Yeowoon hyung♥

Come quickly^^

It’s nice to go on an online date with Yeowoon. Whether it’s an


illusion or a stupid game like Little Boy, it’s all good. But I already feel
frustrated thinking about the people who will cling to Lee Yeo-woon
and make a fuss about his return. What on earth did you do there to
become so named? It was truly absurd and upsetting.

However, this is something that must be endured for the sake of the
goal. I really hate it, but….

“I’m so annoyed my head hurts….”

Yun Ji-gu pressed his temples against a faint headache and made a
decision. Starting today, he will secretly infiltrate Little Fore as a
scout and find out why the refugees, including Yeo-un, are so crazy
about the game. And this year, we must find a solution so that we
can wear lingering, couple-like looks.

‘Slayer <Zero> has bound you.’

<ㅈi9Star>: Let go of thisㅡㅡ

<Zero>: Newbie, I’m back after a hundred years!! ㅁㄴㅇㄹ be nice


to you?….

<asdfasdf>: LOL.

<asdfasdf>: Byung-ah, am I good to you?

<ㅈi9Star>: Uh;; I’m being nice to you, so don’t cling to me >ㅅ;;<

<Zero>: …ㅠㅠ

As soon as I logged into the game, I was stuck next to Lee Yeo-
woon like a piece of gum, and users who had seen me once before,
even briefly, remembered me and started to acknowledge me.
Instead of remembering himself as a beginner, he seemed to
remember a beginner who was accompanied by the famous Lee
Yeo-woon.
Yeowoon put her on the back of a black horse and got off in front of
a restaurant located at the edge of the village. Users who knew Yeo-
woon from where they were followed closely behind and started
talking to Yeo-woon Lee.

<The Great Catsby>: Wow!

<Cherry>: Who is ㅁㄴㅇㄹ?

<The Great Catsby>: asdfasdf This is in Korean. I guess it’s back.

<Cherry>: Oh, that chef haha.

<Baobab Tree>: ㅁㄴㅇㄹ, are you selling food today?

<Cherry>: Why have there suddenly become so many people? Are


you all here to see ADF?

<The Great Catsby>: The day of lipo revival is coming

<Your Dream is a Graduate Student>: Wow, sous chef, it’s been a


while!!!!

<Hero>: If you’re going to give up, you’ll sell me a dark horse.

<asdfasdf>: ㄲㅈ

<Hero>: Blackㅠ
As more people pretended to know Lee Yeo-woon, Ji-gu Yoon’s legs
began to tremble more. Even though he knew that they were
nothing special to him, the thought of these people getting tired of
watching Yeo-woon, who they didn’t know about, made him feel
dizzy.

It was then. A man with a brown beard wearing the same outfit as
Yeo-woon came out of the restaurant, and suddenly the title of ‘Sous
Chef of Pork Restaurant’ was placed above Yeo-woon’s head. A
brown beard with the nickname Crescent Moon had the title ‘Fork
Restaurant Chef’ on his head.

“Couple title…?”

Yun Ji-gu was shaking.

<Crescent Moon>: ㅎㅇ

<asdfasdf>: Oh, Crescent Moon, have you become a chef?

<Crescent Moon>: Yes…There are only a few cooks left…. It just so


happened…That’s it…~

<Crescent Moon>: I have given you the title of temporary worker, so


please feel free to come and do business at any time…^^

<asdfasdf>: Is it okay that I can’t come often?

<Crescent Moon>: Yes…There aren’t many people anyway…ㅠㅠ


There are a lot of empty jobs…
Yeo-woon, who quickly became the sous chef, entered the
restaurant first, abandoning himself to the encouragement of the
flies swarming around him.

‘what…?’

Yoon Ji-gu was frozen in place, dumbfounded by the fact that Lee
Yeo-woon quickly matched the title of couple with the bearded guy
and left.

<Zero>: Hey newbie, I gave you pocket money, so why haven’t you
come yet?

‘Slayer <Zero> has bound you.’

<ㅈi9 stars>: This is why I won’t come, ㅁi chingrum

<Zero>: Zero doesn’t understand what I’m talking about!! ㅇ.ㅇ

<Zero>: But is your level still level 2? you are so cute

“Ha, fuck….”

It was the same situation as last time. The rotten people of Little
Forest had a hobby of approaching with their eyes sparkling when
they saw an untouched beginner like Yoon Ji-gu, stranding them in
the village. Ji-gu Yoon managed to avoid them and tried to escape
into the restaurant, but that decision made him even more like a rat
in a poison.
<Zero>: Newbie, dance!

<ㅈi9Star>: Ah, a bit; Don’t make a deal…

Jigu Yoon untied himself as he had learned last time and danced the
dance that was registered as the basic motion. Then the crazy
people gathered around started clapping and dancing along. Ji-gu
Yoon danced wildly in the middle and muttered that everyone was so
pathetic.

<Zero>: Oh, you dance well! Haha.

<ㅈi9Star>: Losing

<Glasses>: Earth star, did you bring ㅁㄴㅇㄹ again? Come always

<Zero>: Hahaha, I guess ㅁㄴㅇㄹ brought a newbie.

<Glasses>: Anyway…. Is this the newbie who was riding ㅁㄴㅇㄹ’s


black horse before?

<Don’t increase your max level>: ㅁㄴㅇㄹ I don’t have any friends,
but seeing as they even brought me on a black horse and took me
on a tour, it looks like they’re real friends?

<Zero>: Wow, I want to be real friends with a newbie too.

<Zero>: Until I go to the military, I will lock you up all the time and
not feed you and make you a Little Fore @ㅅ@
<ㅈi9Star>: Military?

<Zero>: One month left ㅜㅜ

<Angyeongsuk>: But why are you still level 2?

<Gyeonggeungseok>: I guess I haven’t come in since then. I need


to really fix my habits…^^

<Don’t expand to max level>: Newbie, do you know how to get a


party?

‘Slayer <Zero> has bound you.’

<Zero>: You guys go away ㅡ3ㅡ This is mine.

Ji-gu Yoon, who was slowly backing away and preparing to jump,
was caught just before he could run again. Beginner characters did
not have proper skills and their speed was so slow, like crawling at a
snail. Now, he wouldn’t just let me go just because he was dancing.
Yoon Ji-gu was unable to take a few steps and was tied up in place
again by the restraint skill. I was completely distracted from being hit
here and there by the rotten water.

‘Why is my brother neglecting me?’

Lee Yeo-woon, who was supposed to save her from them, was very
busy cooking and reminiscing for the first time in a long time.
Yeowoon was dressed in a white chef’s hat with a red line and a
chef’s uniform, and on top of it was a black cape that did not match
his job at all. Ji-gu Yoon sighed and whispered to Yeo-woon Lee.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Please save meㅠㅠ

<asdfasdf>: The person who ordered egg rolls!

<Gamjadori>: Wow, those 3 sets!!!!

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Bro, can’t you see what I’m saying ㅠ_ㅠ?

Lee Yeo-woon was just busy chopping ingredients and moving the
red frying pan in a very flashy manner. In a way, it was natural as
chats popped up countless times. There were too many people here
talking about a topic that only a few people spoke about.

<Born to Be General>: Guys, stand in line. Each time we cut in line,


one person leaves.

<font>: ;;;;;;;;; Don’t say that, then they’re really leaving.

<Born to Be General>: Cancelled

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: ㅁㄴㅇㄹ, I have been


looking for ingredients for Ganghwa Steak. Please accept the deal!!

For a main city, there weren’t that many people. Compared to Isis,
the number of users was less than half that number, but the volume
of conversation was excessive, perhaps because most users knew
each other and only communicated through chat.

“If I had known this would happen, I would have connected the voice
and turned it on….”

There was no use in regretting it later. Yun Ji-gu just let out a heavy
sigh.

/Ears/<Zero>: Time for Zero to ask questions to Earth! Are you


friends with ㅁㄴㅇㄹ??

/ear/<ㅈi9star>: ㅇ

/Ear/<Zero>: Huh! Then do you want to be friends with Zero?

/Ear/<Zero>: No answer haha shy^^;;

‘Slayer <Zero> has bound you.’

“….”

As I just looked at it, my blood pressure rose. As soon as Yoon Ji-gu


released the restraints by pressing the shift key, Zero wrapped his
body again and made it impossible to move.

‘Slayer <Zero> has bound you.’


<Zero>: Hahahahahahahaha

<Zero>: Slow

<ㅈi9Star>: Haha?

“Should I really kill that bastard?”

A level 2 player muttered in extreme anger upon seeing the max


level user. Even though I could tolerate other comments, I couldn’t
tolerate the comment that I was slow.

Looking at the long line in front of Yeo-woon, Ji-gu Yoon vowed


revenge on Zero, who was still shackling him. I had no intention of
starting this baseless game in earnest, but my hands were itching to
get back at that obnoxious bastard.

<ㅈi9Star>: Brother

<ㅈi9Star>: Brother?

<asdfasdf>: Who ordered potato stew?

<Tongoriharkon>: Me!!!

“….”
Yeah, I don’t really care, do I? Are you really crazy about work? Jigu
Yoon burst out laughing.

<ㅈi9Star>: ;; Since you look busy, I’ll just go level up.

<asdfasdf>: The person who ordered dim sum!!

<ㅈi9 stars>: ㅅ1 shot;;;;;;;;;;;;

<Zero>: Wow haha what should I do hahaha your words were


completely ignored haha

That bastard has been really pissing people off since a while ago. It
was a moment when I had a clear goal in Little Forest, which I had
downloaded because it was a game played by Yeowoon Lee.

‘Raise the level first and kill that bastard first.’

Yun Ji-gu quickly pressed the shift key to untie Zero’s restraints,
then rolled across the floor and hurried out of the restaurant before
he could tie him up again. Zero, who narrowly missed him and
missed in the air, continued to argue in whispers.

I am confident in dealing with people verbally. There was a


willingness to accept Zero’s fight at any time, but those types of
people only give up and surrender when you press them with specs
rather than arguing.

/Ear/<Zero>: Even if you go, how far do you have to go before


leaving home? LOL
/Ear/<Zero>: Newbie, I’m the one who chewed your words, but why
don’t you accept Zero’s friend who kept talking to you?ㅠㅠ

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Hey, stop, I already own itㅡㅡ

/Ear/<Zero>: ㅜ.ㅜWho is it?

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Haha, there is >_< But is it your part-time job?

/Ear/<Zero>: Hmm, is it possible that ㅁㄴㅇㄹ is Newbie-chan’s


master?ㅜㅜ

“…evil!”

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: What are you doing Jooin Mi-eun??

/Ears/<Zero>: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha what happened


typo?

/Ear/<Zero>: ㅇㅋI’ll tell your owner that you got sulky and ran away
from homeㅋㅋ Have a nice walk.

/ear/<ㅈi9star>: Jokkaㅗ

Everyone left in this game is crazy. If you stay here, you might go
crazy like those people. First, I reach max level, slaughter Zero who
made an outrageous comment about me being slow, and then take
Lee Yeowoon with me to play this game.
Yun Ji-gu ran across the village with a tired look on his face. When
he ran away to the beginner hunting ground, the rotten water no
longer touched him.

“ah! “Why are you like that, really!”

They just sat at the entrance to the hunting ground and watched
with satisfaction as they killed the squirrel monster, applauding each
time their level went up. He even rushed over to me and gave me
the notarization and proof buffs without saying a word, then went
back to watching himself from a distance. It seems like there really
is nothing to do.

There are probably very few games in this world that don’t welcome
beginners, but here it goes too far. Perhaps the reason there are no
newbies in this game is because existing users feel too burdened
and run away.

‘This is why the game is ruined.’

Jigu Yoon came to fully understand why so few beginners were


coming to Little Foret.

***

“…Ji-gu Yoon. Where did he go?”


Yeo-woon realized late that he had disappeared. Just a moment
ago, I clearly saw him sitting in a corner of the restaurant and being
treated cutely. When I asked people around if they had seen him,
one of the Slayer characters giggled and pretended to know, ‘He ran
away from home@ㅅ@’.

I didn’t expect to suddenly be given the title of sous chef. Even


though it was a temporary job, there was a lot of sincerity in giving
me a title, and I couldn’t help but do my job, so I was distracted for a
while. It was also true that because of that, he couldn’t take care of
Yoon Ji-gu. I was the one who brought him here, but I felt guilty
because I felt like I had not paid too much attention to him.

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Where are you?

Jigu Yoon had no answer to what I said. I wondered if he had gone


to the bathroom for a moment and tried to whisper again, but there
was still no response.

A few minutes later.

‘New mail has arrived.’

Instead of a whisper, Yun Ji-gu’s mail arrived.

mail.j [Received
pg mail]
Sender : ㅈi9 stars

title : Leveling
up>_<

I will come back stronger.

ps. Don’t look for me.

“….”

I went out to the village and checked the new mail, and found that
something similar to a runaway letter had arrived. Even though Yoon
Ji-gu didn’t really leave the house, my heart sank for a moment.

Yeo-woon immediately picked up his cell phone and sent a message


to Yoon Ji-gu.

It’s Earth

what are you doing right now?

The number that appeared next to the speech bubble disappeared


as soon as I sent it, and Jigu Yoon did not reply for over 5 minutes
after reading the message. There was no time to know whether he
was reading and chewing, or whether he was doing something else
with the messenger on.
If you read it, would you please send me at least one point??

Ji-gu Yoon

“….”

Yeowoon muttered with a confused look on his face when he saw


the one hot spot he had sent.

“…Are you upset?”

It was a situation where Yoon Ji-gu could feel quite disappointed, so


there was nothing he could say to make an excuse. She must have
had no doubt that he would take care of her, but she was so
preoccupied with other things that she didn’t even notice that he had
disappeared.

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Should I turn on the voice? I want to hear your


voice

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: ㅈㅅI’m so busy^^

/ear/<asdfasdf>: ㅠㅠ

“You’re busy….”
Yeowoon quietly got up from the chair and put on slippers on his
feet.

Open the front door and walk eight steps to the next door. Being
close to my lover’s house had its advantages in this regard. In
particular, Yoon Ji-gu, who is prone to misunderstandings and even
suffering if left alone for a long time, had to be kept by his side and
reassured of his affection from time to time.

“Thank goodness it’s next door.”

Yeowoon muttered as he pressed the door lock code. After entering


the familiar password without hesitation, I heard the sound of the
door lock turning and the door opened.

The cat in the living room looked toward the front door with its eyes
wide open, then stretched out and sat on the floor, probably relieved
that it was someone he knew. At the same time, Ji-gu Yoon came
out of the computer room, making a loud noise with a panicked look
on his face. He had probably turned on the computer without even
changing his clothes, so he always wore comfortable clothes to
sleep in.

“brother? why not….”

“I came to play.”

“…yes?”
“Why is it not a welcoming atmosphere? “Should I go if I don’t like
it?”

“Oh, no.”

That’s not it…. He trailed off and glanced at himself, looking a little
more sulky than usual. It seemed like he wanted to know how I felt,
so I just found it funny.

“Sorry.”

“What.”

“Because I brought you here and couldn’t take care of you?”

“…what.”

Judging by the reaction, it seems to be the correct answer.

“Are you upset?”

Don’t be upset - Yeo-woon naturally went into the house and patted
Ji-gu Yoon’s butt, who was frozen with a stupid expression on his
face. When I looked up at him with a hearty smile, Ji-gu Yun
instantly broke free from his rigid state and jumped up. And he made
a fuss about why he was acting strange this morning.

“No, no, I’m not upset? I’m really busy. There is no time to sulk.
really.”
“….”

“I’m not upset, I’m just… I really don’t get upset at that level.”

“huh.”

“What do you know about me? I am also very busy….”

How could Jigu Yoon be busy at Little Foret? No matter how she
looked at it, it seemed like a lie, so Yeowoon just kept her mouth
shut and looked at him.

“It’s real.”

“….”

“It’s real.”

“Who said what?”

“…Then don’t look at me like that.”

“How did I see it?”

“Oh, if you don’t know, look in the mirror!”

He turned around, gently pushing Yeo-woon away. Without missing


the opportunity, Yeo-woon raised his hand and forced Ji-gu Yun’s
head to turn towards me.

“…brother?”

The face that followed stiffly was as flushed as a peach. There was
a ripe peach in my hand. When Yeo-woon, who had been staring at
him, raised his head and unexpectedly left a light kiss on his cheek,
Ji-gu Yoon blushed furiously, as if asking when he had become
sulky.

“Morning, what have you been doing since morning!”

It was a line that seemed to treat him as unscrupulous, but he didn’t


seem to dislike it at all. On the contrary, the sound of my heart was
pounding so loudly that I could feel it close to me, as if I was dying.
Yeo-woon was inwardly relieved. Now I finally look like my usual
Yoon Ji-gu. I was glad to see that his mood seemed to have calmed
down a bit.

“It’s nice to live next door. right?”

I left the front door and took only eight short steps. I liked the sense
of distance where I could come see him whenever I wanted.

“You really seem like a pervert!”

“why me?”

“Do you like living close to me? “When you see me, all you can think
about is doing something like this, right?”
“Something like this. I’ve only kissed you, Earth….”

“yet? So what more are you planning to do? .”

It was always amazing. Is it possible to not get tired of seeing each


other every day, but to have something different every time we
meet?

“If anyone hears this, they will think I ate you and threw you away.”

“Oh, that’s it! “I just didn’t feel like it, but he forced me to do it,
right?”

“kiss?”

“Yeah, that one.”

“So you didn’t like it?”

“….”

“Earth.”

“Mo, I don’t know. If I try one more time, I might find out….”

Yeowoon stopped laughing at those words.


He raised his head and accepted the request of his lover, who
pretended to be shameless but was secretly looking forward to it. As
their lips met briefly and then separated, Jigu Yoon rolled his eyes
and glanced at the lingering emotions.

“Brother, actually….”

“huh. You like it?”

“…no? “I was just trying to say that I like living close by.”

“I am?”

“….”

“Earth, I am.”

“No, what, what?”

“Why are you stuttering? I do not like it?”

“Well, don’t bother asking the obvious. I’m really annoyed!”

“Don’t be annoyed.”

The neighbors’ houses, with their backs to each other friendly and
separated by a span-wide wall, felt exactly like the relationship
between Yoon Ji-gu and himself.
***

Yun Ji-gu’s life pattern has always been similar. When the sun rises
in the sky, I wake up and send good morning greetings to Yeo-woon,
and in the afternoon, I go to work at a cafe or go to school. We kept
in touch intermittently, and in the evening, I met Yeo-woon at the
swimming pool. He tended to spend most of his dinners with a
lingering drink, and they also enjoyed casual house dates as they
took turns going to each other’s houses.

But these days, there has been a small change in Yun Ji-gu’s daily
life.

“What is it, him?”

Yeowoon rubbed his eyes and opened them again, doubting himself
as to whether he had seen something wrong.

‘ㅈi9 Star, Lv.62’

I’ve heard that he’s been playing Little Forest in his free time lately,
but by the time Yeowoon checked, he was already over level 60.
That meant that I had raised at least 10 levels a day. Unlike Illusion,
Little Forest was difficult to develop characters in the beginning.
Even though the patch made leveling up easy, leveling up 10 levels a
day was a bit problematic.
But you made level 60 on your own without anyone’s help?

“Have you been playing games all day?” ?”

Ji-gu Yoon changed his job to a ‘dual shooter’, using dual pistols. He
showed faster growth than any other user Yeowoon had seen so far,
and somehow his movement speed became fast enough to catch up
with me on a black horse.

In addition, as if I had two bodies, I meticulously completed the work


I had to do in the illusion in my spare time while playing Little Foret.
Playing two games at the same time, did Little Forest unexpectedly
suit my taste?

Little Forest’s job series are largely divided into two categories. It
was a route where you, like Yeowoon, had production jobs in the
village where you made things and managed the village, and you
had to hunt and develop your character like a typical RPG game.

Yeowoon is a chef who makes food items, and because he was so


focused on the ‘luck’ stat and the ‘increased production speed’ stat
to ensure that the items he was making had good options, he could
not invest in defense or stamina at all, so he was practically a body
of water.

Sometimes, when I had to enter a dungeon to obtain material items


or for an event, I had to join someone else’s strong party to proceed
with the game.

On the other hand, Ji-gu Yoon….


/ear/<asdfasdf>: He already entered Sky Land?

/Ears/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Yes! I think that


guy is serious about lipo.

/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: This is the first time I’ve


seen someone go to Skyland in less than a week haha.

As far as Yeowoon knew, Skyland was a continent where users


between level 80 and 100 usually went on quests. Jigu Yoon is now
level 62…. Isn’t the level difference too big?

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Isn’t it up to level?

/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: It doesn’t matter. Even if


your level is over 500,000, you can still get the quest, but the mobs
are so strong that it doesn’t happen often haha.

“….”

I must be crazy. If Yun Ji-gu had studied with that determination, he


would have gotten his doctorate a long time ago.

Since Yeo-woon, who went through the production route, also had
secondary characters who wandered around the hunting grounds, I
was able to feel how monstrous the speed of Yoon Ji-gu’s
development was.

/Ear/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: But aren’t you my


friend? Why don’t you come and see for yourself?
Yeo-woon asked a graduate student, whom he barely knew, to follow
Ji-gu Yoon and tell him what he was doing. Fortunately, there were a
lot of people following him, so Yeo-woon’s request went undetected.

Earth Byul is a newbie who has appeared for the first time in a while,
and many people already know his nickname thanks to the title that
he was brought in by Yeowoon, who is famous in the server. In
addition, Earth Star exchanged cash and random coordination items,
and was walking around in a dazzling state from head to toe. While
the remaining users in the Little Forest were all wearing heavy, dark
clothes, the colorful Earth Star stood out among them. Just as the
Little Forest refugees reminisce about Lippo in Illusion, Earth Star
seemed to have transferred the illusion’s costumes to Little Forest.
Users shed tears of emotion as they watched the colorful Earth star
grow from afar.

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Haha just…I thought it would look a little strange if I


chased after it.

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Please keep it a secret.

/Ear/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Well, that’s not


difficult.

/Ears/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: But what’s going


on with his agility?

/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: I was riding that horse


earlier and I almost fainted when I saw them running almost side by
side -ㅅ-
“….”

It was as he said. Ji-gu Yoon channeled all of the free skill points he
gained while developing his character into agility and attack speed.
Still, I thought I wouldn’t be able to keep up with the speed of the
mount item, but recently, when I saw that he was showing much
faster speed than other beginners, I had to doubt my eyes to see if I
was mistaken. Fortunately, I was able to hear the secret directly
from him.

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Oh, that…

/ear/<asdfasdf>: I got ten stacks of slime ball pudding.

/Ear/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Is that it??

/ear/<asdfasdf>: An item that doubles your agility for 1 minute when


eaten.

/Ear/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Is there such a


thing? Is this your first time hearing this?

/ear/<asdfasdf>: But instead, the defense is reduced by half….

/Ears/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Oh, it was trash


haha

Slimeball Pudding was an item that temporarily increased movement


speed but threw away defense. A few days ago, Earth Star suddenly
made a deal with me and gave me an armful of unfamiliar items. It
also gave me a recipe I had never made before and asked me to
combine the food. It was an item I didn’t even know existed because
no one was looking for it and there was no demand for it, so I had
no idea where they got this information.

Anyway, the slimeball, which became even more effective with the
tag ‘Creator asdfasdf’, played a role in making up for the agility
ability that was lacking in Earth characters. Even though the cost of
the recovery items is not a joke, for some reason, Ji-gu Yoon has
never once said that he is short of money. Whenever I could, I would
complain that strangers would send me pocket money through the
mail, and it seemed like that was probably the reason.

“That too is an obsession.”

In Repo, the movement speed option is not particularly important, so


why did you make the character like that? . It is true that you cannot
give up your own habits. Yeo-woon stuck his tongue out at Yun Ji-
gu’s strange obsession.

/Ear/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Huh? Earth is


looking for a party

/ear/<asdfasdf>: What party?

/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: Sky Spire haha That thing


is dead and even if I wake up, I can’t wake up alone.

/ear/<asdfasdf>: What is that?


/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: Skyland boss fight. I don’t
know?

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Huh??

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Sorry…I don’t remember

/Ear/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Playing a board


game on a cloud….

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Board game??

/Ears/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Wow, you really


don’t seem to remember.

/Ears/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: You know,


monkeys throwing bananas

/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: You play dice on a board


like Blue Marble, that was quite fun haha.

Hearing those words, I felt like I vaguely remembered it. It was so


long ago that even that was blurry.

/ear/<asdfasdf>: But why can’t I wake up alone? Are there multiple


admission conditions?

/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: Dungeons are opened


even in solo play.
/Ear/<Your Dream is a Graduate Student>: It is designed in a way
that you can never break it as a solo player haha.

/Ears/<Your Dream Is a Graduate Student>: The boss’s ultimate is


painful, but the mob attacks come at you all at once, so you die in
the blink of an eye.

/Ears/<Your dream is a graduate student>: There was only one


person who broke out as a solo user on MeTube.

/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: Now, all the Paladin


classes have been nerfed, so I can’t even do that lol.

“huh?”

Yeowoon asked, remembering the large shield that graduate


students carry on their backs.

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Aren’t you a paladin? Was it downgraded?

/Ears/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Yes;; Are you Meg


now?;;

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Miang….

/Ear/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: I’ll take a look at itㅡ


/Ear/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Anyway


/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: You can’t believe you’re
trying to beat a level 70 4-person party by yourself.

/Ears/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Newbie courage


seems to be lacking haha_ㅋ

What kind of place is that difficult? It’s been so long since Yeowoon
worked as a chef that he’s completely forgotten about hunting and
dungeons. I wondered if I could at least remember the progress
levels for each continent.

Since production workers have separate means of transportation to


other areas, it was possible to proceed with the scenario without
having to go through the hunting map. Therefore, it is natural that
dungeons where combination items do not appear are not even paid
attention to and cannot be remembered.

Even though I developed several secondary characters like


everyone else, Yeowoon had absolutely no talent for hunting,
regardless of his occupation. So, I thought maybe I didn’t know that
much more than Yun Ji-gu.

“But I think I went to Tenon’s temple too…?”

The next map you could go to after Skyland was Tenon Temple. My
memories are vague, but I was certain that there was one character
who made it that far. I thought that if he did it, it would be a piece of
cake for Yoon Ji-gu. He could easily break it with just a little help.

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Then you join the party and help! I’ll pay your part-
time salary
/Ear/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: I want to, but I can’t
get above level 100ㅠㅠ

/Ear/<asdfasdf>: There is a level limit….

/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: I barely passed the


Warehouse Caddo level lol.

/Ear/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: You don’t know if


you raise it all over again from the beginning.

/Ear/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Who would leave


the alt level below level 100?

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Huh?

/Ears/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: It would be


possible if you were a warehouse guy.

“….”

Yeowoon muttered quietly as he thought of his alt-characters in the


character selection slot.

“I have a few….”

I also had four more alts that I had raised. It’s not a character made
for a warehouse, it’s just…It was just an unlucky secondary
character that I kicked out while training. Excluding the main
character, ‘asdfasdf’, the secondary characters included one
production worker who took the blacksmith route and three hunting
characters, three of which were left unattended without exceeding
level 100.

/ear/<asdfasdf>: Thanks for letting me know.

/Ears/<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: What?

/ear/<asdfasdf>: I’ll go out for a moment

Yeo-woon apologized to the graduate student and went to the


character selection window to carefully look through the secondary
characters. First of all, level 103 characters pass. It seemed like
they went all the way to the Temple of Tenon with this character.

Of the three remaining alts, two remain, excluding one production


worker. Level 16 and Level 87.

“… What about 16?”

It’s a character I don’t remember at all. Looking at the fact that I


threw it before my first job change, it seems like it really wasn’t a
good fit for me. Anyway, Yeo-woon chose the forest keeper
character whose description appeared, ‘There is a record of access
from 692 days ago.’

‘dldudns, Lv.87 <Forest Keeper>‘


Forest Keeper is the name of a wizard-type job that serves as both
a buffer and a healer, and I chose this job because I liked the skills
and weapons it used. Due to the nature of the support wizard job, it
was not suitable for playing alone, so I raised it only briefly.

‘Would you like to connect with this character?’

‘dldudns’ was a female character with a simple expression and black


hair tied into twin tails. I was told that there were far more forest
keeper-specific items for women than for men, and that they were
much prettier, so I was the only account created with a female
character. When Yeowoon chose to become a forest keeper for the
first time in a long time, the character turned his head with his arms
crossed with a pouty face, as if asking why he was coming now.

‘Skill points have been reset. Please check your skill status again
before leaving on your journey.’

When I checked after logging in for the first time in a long time, the
status of the character was a complete mess. Perhaps because it
was a character that was developed before a large-scale patch, not
only the skills but also the equipment had to be completely
upgraded.

‘(Old) equipment that can no longer be used has been released.’

‘(Old) Spirit Stones that can no longer be used have been released.’

‘(Old) weapons that can no longer be used have been released.’


The word ‘(old)’ was placed in front of weapons and equipment that
could no longer be used, distinguishing them from old weapons and
new weapons.

‘A new weapon was provided as compensation in the mailbox.’

However, there was no reason to be sad that the equipment I used


before was no longer usable. This is a character that has been left
alone with no intention of raising it, and not a single penny has been
spent on the costume.

“Oh, I have to go quickly….”

When I thought of Yun Ji-gu, who was stamping his feet because he
couldn’t save the party members, my heart became anxious. It was
nice to see him truly enjoying a game for the first time in a while, so
he wanted to help Ji-gu Yoon as much as he could.

‘You have acquired the Witch’s Royal Broom.’

Yeo-woon found the temporary weapon issued in the operator’s


name in the mailbox and changed it. Even though it was a poor
weapon with no options, it was better than nothing.

“I should buy a warp capsule first.”

As Yeowoon moved his character to a general store, his character


looked relaxed, sitting on a broom with a red ribbon tied on it. Since
it was a job created with the concept of a forest witch, I remembered
that I really liked the movement motion when I was training it.
After a while, Yeo-woon bought a warp capsule bound for Skyland at
a general store and used it.

‘Would you like to use the warp capsule (consumable) for Skyland?’

‘Go to Skyland. Please close your eyes. You may feel a bit dizzy.’

The screen shuddered as if a stone had been thrown onto calm


water, and after a certain loading time, a refreshing sky-blue city
filled the screen. ‘Sky Spire’, a boss raid dungeon, could be seen in
the distance.

It was Skyland.

***

When I went to the Earth Star, I saw a crowd of familiar users.


Yeowoon, who mainly enjoyed playing solo in any game, was well
aware of the feeling of despair when progressing through a game is
blocked. Because of this, I was worried about Yun Ji-gu, but when I
arrived, I found that despite my worries, there were surprisingly
many applicants for the Sky Spire raid.

‘I’m rather glad.’


Only then did Yeo-woon sigh in relief and begin to reorganize the
reset skill window. After raising the skills as I wanted, focusing on
things that looked good, I registered the skills to be used in the
shortcut key and decided to sneak in among the users and take a
look.

<F because it’s youth>: Nim

<F is Youth>: Skyspire consists of 1 tank, 2 heals, and 1 heal.

When someone pretended to know something and recommended a


party combination, a large group of users agreed by nodding their
heads or using skills distractedly.

<ㅈi9star>: Do you need tank ㅇㅅㅇ?

<ㅈi9Star>: I heard that Jelly Forest requires tanks, and I can play
solo haha.

<ㅈi9Star>: What about Deal 3 Heal 1?

<F is Youth>: Tang is not required for Jelly Forest lol Who says that?

<ㅈi9Star>: Everyone says that

<F is Youth>: But

<Because it’s F, I’m Youth>: Skyspire is big because it absorbs the


tank’s ultimate once and nullifies it.
<F is Youth>: One tank is essential. Without it, you can’t wake up.

<ㅈi9Star>: ㅇㅎ That really looks like a dog

<F is Youth>: While Tang is blocking one big attack,

<F is Youth>: Just two dealers can melt down all the regular mobs.

<F because it’s youth>: And it doesn’t work without a healer

<F because it’s youth>: If you don’t wear heels, all the monkeys
won’t be able to stand it

<ㅈi9Star>: ㅇㅎ

<ㅈi9Star>: Good tip ㄱㅅ

<F is Youth>: For your information, I’m a tank haha

<ㅈi9Star>: ?

<F is Youth>: If you appreciate it, please invite me to the party haha

<ㅈi9Star>: ㄴㄴ

<F is Youth>: ㅠㅠ;;


“Why is it like that?”

I couldn’t figure out the reason why they wouldn’t let me join the
party, despite the good explanation so far. Around FNI Youth,
tankers carrying large shields on their backs began to appeal,
saying, ‘Then take them with you.’ Come to think of it, despite my
worries, there were quite a few people who were not level 100. I was
relieved to think that they were all people who had deliberately
brought out alts to help Earth Star.

<F is Youth>: Can I ask why I failed? ㅜㅜ

<ㅈi9Byeol>: Nickname is shit - _-

<F is Youth>: Egung

<F is Youth>: I guess I’m not good at studying ^^

<F is Youth>: I should have looked into it when I started using dual
pistols ^~^

<It’s Youth>: ㅅㄱ!

He left the game as if running away, leaving behind the words, “F


because it’s youth.” Like Yeowoon, he seemed like a user who
reconnected with an alt character that he had raised. Perhaps
because there weren’t many newbies coming in, the competition rate
was not bad even though it was just a raid party. It seems like
everyone is anxious to help Earth and keep the game going for a
long time.
<Love Silverbell>: I will support you, newbie!!

<ㅈi9Star>: Don’t speak informally;

<Love Silverbell>: Shall I help you?

<ㅈi9Star>: ㄴㄴ

<Love Silverbell>: Do you think you can help me out?

<ㅈi9Star>: ㄴ

<Love Silverbell>: How can you get higher than this? What do you
want me to do?

<ㅈi9Star>: I was eliminated for speaking informallyㅇㅅㅇ

<Love Silverbell>: No hahaha

The users, absurdly, lined up one after another and began to be


interviewed.

<ㅈi9Star>: Little Fore subjugated for 1 billion won vs. Little Fore
revival but owed 10 million won

<Student in college>: I’m the former even if you give me 1 million


won.
<Children of Cicadas>: Since you are such a child, are you selling
your hometown for 1 million won?

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: ?

<True to the game>: Come out^^

Not long after, the person I was interviewing who had applied for
PVP suddenly disappeared. Naturally, the applicant was eliminated
because the applicant disappeared. No one found his absence
strange and the next person quietly came forward.

<Class President>: If I am selected, I will hand out hamburgers to


my class.

<ㅈi9Star>: What about me?

<Class leader>: I’m sorry. I came right on time so I can’t give you
another class.

<ㅈi9Star>: Get out

<Class leader>: Yes ㅜㅜ

<Optimus>: Hello^^

<ㅈi9Star>: What has made you happiest recently?


<Optimus>: I was most happy when ㅈi9star selected me for the
Skyspire raid party^^

<ㅈi9Star>: Hahahahahahahahahahahaha

<ㅈi9Star>: Eliminated

<Optimus>: Could you ask me about the saddest thing?^^

<ㅈi9Star>: ?

<Optimus>: At this moment?

<ㅈi9Star>: Get out

<Optimus>: Give me a bottle and give me a bottle…

<ㅈi9Star>: Next

At Earthstar’s words, a user with a large ribbon neatly tied on his


bald head ran out, bowing.

<Yenipang>: Hello, next is Jeon!!

<ㅈi9Star>: Please infer the outlook for the international situation


over the next 10 years.

<Yenipang>: Huh?
<ㅈi9Star>: Time limit 10 seconds

<ㅈi9Star>: Start! >_<

<Yenipang>: No, I have a question.

<ㅈi9Star>: 3

<Yenipang>: No, I’m so angry. Why am I asking this question?

<ㅈi9Star>: 2

<ㅈi9Star>: 1

<Yenipang>: C/ㅂ;; 10 seconds

<ㅈi9Star>: Eliminated!

Yenipang got angry as she threw her fist in the air after being
eliminated, which was decided in 3 seconds.

<Yenipang>: What do you know about this question? Please answer


me

<Yenipang>: What was the question? It was so shocking that I ate it


all….
<Zero>: Please infer the outlook for the international situation for the
next 10 years ㅇ_ㅇㅋ

<Yenipang>: Yes, that!!

<Yenipang>: 3

<Yenipang>: 2

<ㅈi9Star>: World Peace♡

<Yenipang>: 1

<Yenipang>: ?

In the end, Earth Star, which came up with a plausible answer, shot
a disposable firecracker over its head as if what it said was the
correct answer. Yenipang was silent for a while, staring blankly at
Earth Star, who was congratulating herself on the answer she had
given alone. Only those nearby watching this strange interview
scene laughed like crazy.

<Yenipang>: Oh, what do you say?

<ㅈi9Star>: Even if you do it, ㅈㄹ;

<Father Store>: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha


<Luminous Hair Ann>: ㅁㅊㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

<Zero>: Hahahahahahahaha

<ㅈi9Byeol>: Come out and see the next person.

<Yenipang>: Nim, am I eliminated? really?

<ㅈi9Star>: Yep!

<Yenipang>: I’m the only one who asks questions like this.

<ㅈi9Star>: ㅇㅅㅇBut I did it perfectly!

<ㅈi9Star>: You couldn’t do it! LOL

<ㅈi9Star>: Then who will be eliminated hahaha

<ㅈi9Star>: Huh?!

<Yenipang>: Fuck me;;

<ㅈi9Star>: Goodbye~ >_<

<Yenipang>: This is really absurd….

<Yenipang>: Getting in line again


Yeni-Pang, who trudged to the back of the line to re-apply, had to
suffer the pain of being eliminated in 3 seconds after hearing Earth
Star’s words, a few minutes later, ‘Memorize the ratio of pi to 10
decimal places.’

<Yenipang>: I’m good at arts and physical education, so I only know


math addition and subtraction.

As I watched, I felt a sense of discomfort because surprisingly, the


interview questions were quite realistic. As I thought about what kind
of answer I would give if it were me, I remembered old experiences
and became distressed.

<Penguinka>: I am applying for the position of Priest Goyo Healer!


Before asking the question, let’s make a transition using penguin
words!

<Luminous Hair Anne>: Ugh, Penguin Gyunka, I guess hehe.

<Penguin Car>: ㅗ Please bring some luck!

<ㅈi9Star>: Peng

<Penguin Car>: Penguin

<ㅈi9Star>: Gün

<Penguin Car>: Gun Car haha


<ㅈi9Star>: ?

<Luminous Hair Anne>: It’s obvious, it’s as expected haha.

<Penguin Car>: Get out of here/get over it

<Yenipang>: Hahahahahahahahaha

<Ring>: Hahahahahahahahahaha

<Father Store>: Hahahahahahahaha

<Luminous Hair Anne>: It’s so obvious that I’m speechless haha I


guess I can’t even play games?

<Penguin Car>: Yes, I’m better than you who were eliminated haha.

<Luminous Hair Ann>: Yeah, no haha.

<Penguin Car>: Yes, that’s right haha.

The two people seemed to have been friends from the beginning
and were wearing matching clothes in a twin look. Watching the two
custom-made twin-like characters arguing with each other, saying
“I’m right and you’re wrong,” was so cute that it made me laugh.

<dldudns>: Hahahahahahahahahaha
<ㅈi9Star>: ㅇㅏ Wow

<Penguin Car>: Haha, seeing as you’re so surprised, did I actually


pass?

For some reason, the Earth Star took a moment to report the results
to Penguin Car, who was looking forward to it.

<ㅈi9Star>: ㄴㄴ

<Penguin Car>: Wow, I was impressed earlier, so why did I change


my mind?

<ㅈi9Stars>: Are you sighing because it’s too boring?

<Penguin Car>: ㅗ

<Luminous Hair Anne>: Hahahahahahahahahaha

“That’s funny.”

It’s fun, but why do you do that? Yeowoon was watching people’s
self-appeals with a half-given heart. Even though it wasn’t a place
where they selected something that great, the interview questions
were so ridiculous that I kept watching.

‘Other than me, who is only a pattern healer, someone else who is
good at it will join the party, right?’
There is no need to volunteer in a tiring way, as it will be more
helpful to the planet Earth.

It was then.

‘ㅈi9star invited dldudns to a general party. Would you like to accept


the request?’

“uh…?”

Compared to other people, Yeo-woon didn’t say a word and just


watched the scene happily, but suddenly he was invited to a party.

“what? “Can it be seen that it’s me?”

Yeowoon muttered in confusion. I was mixed in with the crowd, so


my behavior didn’t really stand out, but something was strange. I
didn’t even tell you in advance that there was an alt character, so I
didn’t know how they knew and joined the party.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Nim>_<

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Which of the tank heels is that one?

The Earth Star whispered in my ear and asked. Seeing that he


called me ‘that’ instead of ‘hyung’, it seemed like he didn’t know that
he was Lee Yeo-woon yet. Yeowoon pressed the reject button and
began typing a reply.
/ear/<dldudns>: It’s a heel, though.

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Wow, it’s perfect. There’s an empty heel spot at the


moment!

Just recently, I clearly saw someone who applied for a healer


position being eliminated because they said it wasn’t fun. What?
Yeowoon was confused and tilted his head.

/ear/<dldudns>: I’m not going

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Huh?

/ears/<dldudns>: I’m claustrophobic so the tower is a bit

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Skyspire fights in the sky? The clouds are just


floating

Oh, did you? I don’t remember.

/ears/<dldudns>: I’m also afraid of heights

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: I think I just developed a fear of rejection.

/ear/<dldudns>: Like that

I was about to go back to my original character after seeing Earth


Star enter the dungeon safely, but I never thought she would talk to
me first like this. Even though Yeowoon was embarrassed, he kept
his composure. For some reason, the moment this character was
revealed to be Lee Yeowoon, I felt like he would be captured and
dragged around.

It wasn’t that I didn’t like helping Ji-gu Yoon. However, it means that
there are many people who can replace you, but you do not want to
play the game with a job that is not suitable for you and is not fun.
Because of that, Yeo-woon deliberately pretended to be someone
she was meeting for the first time.

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Aren’t you here to help me anyway?ㅡㅡ

/ear/<dldudns>: Who are you?

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Hahahahahahahahahaha

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Oh really hahahahahaha

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I couldn’t figure out what was so funny about it. Yeo-woon narrowed
his eyes and muttered, asking why he was acting like that, feeling
uneasy for some reason.

/ear/<dldudns>: I don’t have time to help you there. I’m also leveling
up.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Hahahahahahahahahaha
/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Do I look like a fool?

/ear/<dldudns>: Yes

/ear/<i9star>: ㅡㅡ

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: There wasn’t a single person hunting here before I


came here for that incident haha?

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Since it was a manga game, there wasn’t even a


single person in the hunting ground, so what the hell is funny.

/ear/<dldudns>: ? There are a lot of people here too.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: These are all just my fans ㅇㅅㅇ

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: And you’re following me now because you like me,


right?

/ear/<dldudns>: I’m just watching because there are a lot of people.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Ahahahaha

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: You like me!!ㅋㅋ >_<

“Doesn’t he know it’s really me?”


Unlike before, his charming tone of voice is strange. Yeowoon
grumbled in doubt. Why are you being so persistent? This is
behavior that is not like Yoon Ji-gu. It also felt strange that people
were whispering to me because I didn’t have anything special
compared to other people.

/ear/<dldudns>: I’m not going

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Let’s goㅡㅡ

/ear/<dldudns>: I’m not going

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Let’s go

/ear/<dldudns>: I’m not going

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Let’s go

/ear/<dldudns>: I’m not going

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Let’s go

/ear/<dldudns>: I’m not going

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Go!!!

The Earth Star was lying down on the floor, struggling with its arms
and legs. Everything that had been said so far had been a whisper,
so other people would not have been able to understand Earth’s
actions. Everyone murmured in confusion at Earth’s sudden action.
However, soon there were people who followed suit and quietly laid
down on the floor.

“When did you learn to express your emotions through tantrums?”

Yeowoon was embarrassed by the Earth Star rolling on the floor and
burst into laughter.

/ear/<dldudns>: I’m not going. There are a lot of healers here


besides me, right?

/ear/<dldudns>: All the people with sticks or brooms are healers, so


choose yours and go.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: They don’t listen;;

/ear/<dldudns>: Why me?

Earth Star, who had been responding without hesitation until now to
Yeowoon’s words, paused for a moment. However, the answer was
sent promptly and within a range that did not cause any discomfort.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Unlike them, they aren’t wearing a cape.

“Was the cloak the problem?”

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: I like it haha


“Let’s see…. There must be.”

Yeowoon muttered to himself and immediately began searching


through his inventory.

“found.”

He took out a pitch black cloak from among the old equipment he
had not yet disposed of and put it on. There was a clanging sound,
and a black cloak was layered over Yeo-woon’s character riding a
broom. As I threw it away, I even put on a witch’s hat, and I ended
up turning completely black from head to toe.

Now I’ll go find someone else. Yeowoon chuckled as he looked at


Earth Star, who couldn’t say a word.

‘ㅈi9star invited dldudns to a general party. Would you like to accept


the request?’

But the reality was completely different from his expectations.

/ear/<dldudns>: ??

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Rarely, the cape suits you well - _-

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Is it a bit fresh?

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: I like it
“…Come on?”

/Ears/<dldudns>: What am I doing because I like that place haha?

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Party with me?

/ear/<dldudns>: I don’t like it

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Hahahahahahahaha

‘ㅈi9star invited dldudns to a general party. Would you like to accept


the request?’

I just pressed the decline button without saying a word, and in less
than 3 seconds, another invitation window came up.

‘ㅈi9star invited dldudns to a general party. Would you like to accept


the request?’

It’s persistent.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Please accept the party><

‘ㅈi9star invited dldudns to a general party. Would you like to accept


the request?’

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Guess who wins? Haha


/ear/<dldudns>: ㄲㅈ

/ear/<ㅈi9star>: ㅠㅠ

‘ㅈi9star invited dldudns to a general party. Would you like to accept


the request?’

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: That’s a lot of time.

‘ㅈi9star invited dldudns to a general party. Would you like to accept


the request?’

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Prove it?

‘ㅈi9star invited dldudns to a general party. Would you like to accept


the request?’

/ear/<ㅈi9star>: It’s trueㅇㅅㅇ

‘ㅈi9star invited dldudns to a general party. Would you like to accept


the request?’

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Proving!

If it continues like this, it will never end. Yeowoon sighed and


answered.
/ear/<dldudns>: If you don’t want to be left behind after being beaten
up, find someone else when they say nice things to you.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: ㅠㅠIt’s not a good thing to say,,,

/ear/<dldudns>: It’s been a while since I returned, so I don’t know


Skyspire’s attack pattern well;;

/ear/<ㅈi9star>: I know the ㄱㅊㄱㅊ pattern

/ear/<dldudns>: ?

I don’t even know that I went through the dungeon even once a long
time ago, but there is no way that Yoon Ji-gu, who is new to this
game, would know the attack pattern.

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: It’s true, I roughly learned the pattern!

/ear/<dldudns>: Why?

/ear/<ㅈi9star>: I couldn’t do it alone, so I studied a bit >_<

“…study.”

He doesn’t really know anything else, but he doesn’t spare money,


time, or sincerity in the field he’s interested in. If he just pretended
not to notice and left, he wouldn’t have to be dragged around, but
Yeo-woon suddenly started to get curious. That’s why I stay up all
night playing this game. The last time I rode him on a horse and
took him for a spin, he was extremely upset, but was there a reason
he became so desperate?

/ear/<ㅈi9star>: If you just heal that side,

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: I will carry it and break it as fast as possible.

/ear/<ㅈi9star>: Please leave it to me><

/ear/<dldudns>: ….

The afterglow felt strange. When I first met him in Earth and Illusion,
I was shocked and angry because something so absurd happened
to me all at once, but when I met him in a situation where I knew
him for the first time, I felt like I was back in time. When I thought
about it in hindsight, I realized that Earth Star’s unlucky words and
actions at that time were probably Yoon Ji-gu’s own defense
mechanism.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Hmm

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: I feel like I’m a bit arrogant when I say this, so it’s
a bit awkward to say it out of my own mouth….

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: It’s the truth, so I’ll just say it.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: That haha is so good haha >_<

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Oh, trust me just once


“But why do I think this is cute… .”

Even his irritable tone sounds like Yoon Ji-gu’s voice. When I think of
someone else saying this, I feel unimpressed and don’t think much
of it, but when I think of Ji-gu Yoon’s face behind the monitor, I get
to the point where each and every word feels cute. Also, a smile
spreads across my face when I think of her using an emoticon like
‘>_<‘, pretending to be cute with her unique cold expression. In fact,
if you put him in front of him and asked him to say the same thing,
he would start stuttering and it was ridiculous that he only showed
cuteness in his fingers.

‘ㅈi9star invited dldudns to a general party. Would you like to accept


the request?’

Yeah, whatever. I’m curious about Ji-gu Yoon’s inner thoughts as he


desperately tries to bring me into the party, and I also want to ask
him directly what kind of wind suddenly blew that made him work so
hard on Little Foret.

Yeo-woon changed his mind and decided to go to Yoon Ji-gu’s party.

/ear/<dldudns>: Normal party members do not display party


member stamina.

/ear/<dldudns>: Switch to dungeon party and cast.

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Then will you accept the party?

/ear/<dldudns>: ㅇㅇ
/ear/<ㅈi9star>: ㄴㅇㅅ

Unlike Illusion, Little Forest’s party attributes were divided into


several. Regular parties exist for socializing, trading, or mini-games.
For this reason, information that party members do not need to
know is not displayed.

On the other hand, it was easier to do cooperative raids in a


dungeon party because all party members’ remaining HP and MP
were displayed. Yeo-woon worked in production, so he rarely had
time to use a dungeon party.

‘ㅈi9star invited dldudns to the dungeon party. Would you like to


accept the request?’

It’s so fast. As for the speed of learning, Jigu Yoon was fast in many
ways. It’s been a while since I told you about the party function
settings, but seeing as I immediately corrected it and made a new
invitation, I don’t think I’m that bad….

‘You have accepted the party request.’

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Haha

/ear/<dldudns>: ㅡㅡ;

So far, the only party members were Earthstar and himself.


Strangely enough, the first member he invited to the party was Yeo
Woon.
“I didn’t say a word…. How can I do this when I don’t even know it’s
me?”

Suddenly, a whisper came from the direction of Earth. The


shamelessness of first meeting him and inviting him to a party,
saying he knows everyone is there to help him. No matter how much
I thought about it, I couldn’t understand it, but I didn’t feel too bad. Is
it because he wonders if Yoon Ji-gu recognizes him unconsciously?

“I guess it’s fate.”

Yeowoon smiled faintly, muttering a joke that would have shocked


him if he had heard it a year ago.

***

[on] ㅈi9Star (party leader)

[on] dldudns

[on] Deer byeolre

[on] Thank you in English


The Skyspire party of four, formed through fierce competition, was
as follows.

/party/<ㅈi9star>: Follow me

/party/<deer byeolre>: ㅇㅋㅇㅋ

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Thank you

“….”

Earth Star, who uses dual pistols, fired a gun towards the back. The
recoil caused his body to fly forward. He moved the fastest among
the party members by using the movement attached to his attack
skill, and the tank, Thank You, ran behind him and caught up with a
large shield. The deer byeolre ran after them, running alongside
Yeowoon, who had no special agility options.

Although Yeo-woon watched the selection process from beginning to


end, he had no idea of the standards set by Ji-gu Yoon. Thank you
was a terrible concept in English, and Deer Byeolre was chosen
after a minute of conversation with Earth Byeol using only emotional
expressions.

/party/<dldudns>: Wait, get your buff and go in!

Before the party entered the dungeon, Yeowoon opened the F2


keyboard where he had collected the buff skills to give all the
necessary buffs to the party members. Numbers 1 to 6 were skills
that affected attack power and defense, and numbers 7 to 0 were
used to slightly increase item drop rate, luck, and agility.

Since I don’t know what or how much I need, I thought it would be a


good idea to gather up all the buffs that can be applied to party
members and apply them one by one.

‘Mana Shield’

‘Increased magic attack defense’

Yeo Woon’s character held the broom upside down with one hand
and spun it around in place. The voice of the voice actor reciting the
skill name was heard, and the broom stick drew a circle with the
lingering light at the center. A magic circle pattern was engraved
inside the circle and sparkled, and a faint shield shape flashed above
the heads of nearby party members, increasing their defense
against magic attacks.

‘Become stronger’

‘Increased physical attack defense’

‘Witch’s Revenge♥’

‘Attack power increases in proportion to the amount of damage


inflicted by the enemy.’

‘Dragon’s Claw’
‘Increased critical probability’

‘Blessing of the waves’

‘Water attribute skill damage increased’

‘Guardian of the Spider’

‘Increased attack power of wizard classes’

‘Shoot☆Dash!’

‘Increased agility and attack speed’

‘Curse Resistance’

‘Creates resistance to curse debuffs’

/party/<dldudns>: That’s it!

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Thank you

It was then. Deerbyeolre used the expression of tilting his head and
spoke to Yeowoon.

/Party/<Deer Starlight>: Forest keeper


/party/<dldudns>: ??

Forest Keeper was this character’s job name. Since he has difficulty
reading English, he seems to just call himself by his professional
name.

/party/<deer byeolre>: I didn’t mean to invite you.

/Party/<Deer Starlight>: No need for buffs yet?

/party/<dldudns>: Huh?

/Party/<Deer Star>: But since it is a board game, the higher the


number on the dice, the better, so thank you for your luck.

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Thank you haha

/party/<deer byeolre>: No, not you.

“Lucky, where were you… .”

/Party/<Deer Star>: Didn’t the forest keeper raise the luck buff?
Well, then you should grind it once haha.

“Ah, I found it.”

Yeo-woon followed Deer Byeol-re’s advice and used a buff skill that
increased luck.
‘Lucky Seven★’
‘Increased critical probability and luck’

As the four-leaf clover pattern flashed and disappeared above the


heads of the party members, Deerbyeolle gave a thumbs up as if he
was satisfied.

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: Good good haha

/party/<dldudns>: Thanks for letting me know haha

/party/<dldudns>: It’s been a long time since I returned to Lippo.

/party/<Deer Byeolre>: Ah, you’re back^^b

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: Here, when the boss fires his breath, you
just need to add proof or something at the right time?

/Party/<Deer byeolre>: It’s not that difficult. I’m nervous.

/party/<deer byeolre>: If you don’t know anything else, ask.

/Party/<Deer Starlight>: I know this character well because he took


the fortune teller route.

Deerbyeolre shrugged his shoulders. As if he didn’t mean to cause


embarrassment by bringing up this story, he continued to use cute
emoticons and cooed at Yeowoon. Perhaps due to the considerable
stagnation, Deokbyeolle seemed to have mastered all the limited
expressions of emotion.
/party/<dldudns>: ㅇㅋ ㄱㅅ

Yeowoon nodded and raised his fist above his head. Then, they
raised their fists above their heads and created a sense of solidarity,
saying “Thank you” and “Thank you” in English.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Are you three dating? ㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗ

/party/<dldudns>: I guess you’re lonely because you can’t hang out


haha.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: It’s notㅡㅡ

/party/<dldudns>: Want to join?

The three people raised their fists at the same time. The Earth Star
frowned and took a step back.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I don’t like itㅡㅡ

/Party/<Deer Byeolle>: Hahahahahahaha I have a scroll to acquire


this, would you like one?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Don’t make me really annoying ㄱ-

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Thank you

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Not a compliment


/Party/<Thank you in English>: Thank you.

/Party/<Deer Byul-rae>: I’ve been talking about the concept since a


while ago.

/Party/<Deerbyeolle>: It’s not even a PoXmon.

/party/<dldudns>: Hahahahahahahahaha

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Thank you, thank you

He seemed to feel left out as the three people except him were
kneeling on the floor, looking up at the sky, and raising their fists. A
range mark appeared above Earth’s head. He stamped his feet
alternately and got irritated.

/party/<dldudns>: LOL Don’t be angry.

/party/<dldudns>: Hello

Yeo-woon, who belatedly added a polite word, used an interactive


emotional expression by reaching over Earth Star’s head and
stroking her head. cute. Then, two other party members also
approached Earth Star and used the same interactive emotional
expression. Earth Star, who suddenly found herself surrounded by
three people and having her head patted, jumped up and fell into the
portal first.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Oh, come quickly


/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Before I suddenly cut you out of the partyㅡㅡ

If I really wanted to cut him off, I would have had him withdraw from
the party without saying anything. I must have just run away
because I felt embarrassed about the attention being drawn to me.

/party/<deer byeolre>: ㅇㅇ

/party/<dldudns>: LOL Yes.

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Thank you.

Yeowoon couldn’t stop laughing because he could imagine what Jigu


Yoon’s expression would look like right now. Are you frowning in
frustration? Or will the corners of my mouth twitch because I feel
good inside?

There was no way it wouldn’t be funny that he would sometimes act


like an attention seeker, but when someone started to really pet him,
he would get shocked and stiffen like a broken cat.

***

‘You have entered Skyland – Skyspire – dungeon.’


As I entered the dungeon, a square board game board appeared
before my eyes. The board floating in the deep blue sky consisted of
a total of 36 spaces, 10 spaces per row. Outside the board, pure
white clouds were floating as the sky was in the background, and
palm trees with lush green leaves were planted on top of the clouds.
And the monkey monster sat on top of the tree and looked down at
Yeo-woon’s party.

‘I will explain the game rules of Skyspire Dungeon.’

Large letters filled half of the screen, and the voice actor’s sonorous
voice rang out. At that moment, the nearest monkey’s eyes
widened, and he threw what he was holding with all his might and hit
the Earth Star’s head.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Ah!!

‘The monkeys who are not participating in the game throw bananas
from the tree.’

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: It could have been avoided

/party/<dldudns>: Bananas?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Yesㅡㅡ

“Why do you avoid that?”

When Yeowoon passed through this map a few years ago, there
was never a turn where he didn’t hit a banana. The timing of banana
throwing is not consistent, and the monkey attacks when it feels like
it, so it was easier to just recover health after getting hit.

‘You can avoid the bananas thrown by the monkey, and if you get hit
by a banana, your stamina will decrease.’

The monkey squeaks and laughs, pointing with his finger at the
planet Earth that hit the banana. A large giant monkey wearing
sunglasses fell from above with a thud next to Yeowoon’s party at
the starting point of the board. And next to the giant monkey, there
were monkeys standing close together that were the same size as
the monkeys up on the tree.

‘You will play a board game with Mr. Monkey and his gang, the
villains of Skyland.’

‘If you defeat Mr. Monkey’s gang, you can obtain <Tenon Temple
Entrance Ticket> secretly hidden by Mr. Monkey.’

A large dice fell into the center of the board with a thud. The big
monkey picked up the dice and threw it high into the sky.

‘Only the team captain throws the dice.’

A star symbol was engraved above the Earth Star and Mr. Monkey’s
head. It seemed like the party leader was taking on the captain’s
position.

/party/<dldudns>: So what do we do?


/Party/<Thank you in English>: Thank you

/party/<dldudns>: ㅎㅎ

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: What did you understand hahahahahaha

/Party/<Deerbyeolle>: There are minigames or battles in almost


every game.

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: Don’t worry, we’ll do everything except throw


the dice.

/party/<dldudns>: Aha

I had a good feeling. Since there were at least two or three people
who already knew the rules of the game well, I was relieved to think
that I could roughly explain them.

‘Players roll two dice and move the sum of the numbers rolled.’

A giant monkey wearing sunglasses lifted a dice and threw it


upward. When the sum of the two dice came up to 9, the monkeys
squeaked and ran and stopped exactly at the ninth square. A
treasure chest popped out of the compartment, and the sound of
coins piling up was heard above the heads of the monkeys who
opened the treasure chest, and the monkeys began to rejoice.

‘Various events are hidden in each space, and at times, a battle with
the opposing team may take place for 3 minutes.’
‘After Mr. Monkey’s gang and the player team have completed 8
rounds, the number of remaining coins and the total number of kills
and deaths are added to determine victory or defeat.’

“….”

Now I remembered. When I arrived at the battle event area, I had to


fight with monkeys for 3 minutes, and the lingering feeling at that
time was that I was responsible for 80% of the team death and
almost lost.

“ruined.”

Do you think you might lose because of me? Did you follow me for
no reason? Yeowoon’s expression hardened.

‘If all party members become unable to fight during a 3-minute


battle, the game will automatically end, the dungeon will be reset,
and you will have to start the board game from the beginning.’

Soon, the words ‘PLAYER’S TURN’ were engraved on the screen


and the monkeys looked back at the starting point.

‘The captain of the player’s faction, please roll the dice.’

/Party/<Deer Byul-rae>: 66 Come out, damn it.

Earth Star jumped to the center of the board, picked up the dice,
and used the ‘Throw’ skill. The large dice rose high and fell onto the
Earth with a thud.
“…?”

What is it now? The Earth Star was crushed under the dice and
bounced back, taking damage.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: What is it ♣♣

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: Oh really, what is it? Has it changed


recently?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: This is ridiculous, is this true?

The damage was minimal, but HP was definitely damaged.

‘Player camp, move twelve spaces.’

/Party/<Deer Byul-rae>: It really comes out as 66 haha, it’s


awesome.

Meanwhile, it was a good start, with full numbers from the first
round.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: But there’s a problem with this…. When I played


solo, I didn’t hit the dice even once. Even if I didn’t avoid it, it
automatically avoided me and fell???

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Isn’t this a bug?ㅡㅡ


/party/<deer byeolre>: I don’t think so haha.

/Party/<Deerbyeolre>: Something needs to be updated to cause


bugs.

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: Because the game is so stupid, existing


bugs have been neglected for two months, and new updates are not
done well, so no new bugs are created (hey)

/party/<ㅈi9star>: Ah

It wasn’t wrong, and I knew that Lipo was a mangame, but it actually
hurt me a little when I heard that word. At one time, it was a game
that was a bit exaggerated and there were almost no people around
who didn’t play it, but now it was a shame that it had become so
ruined that people were asking why they didn’t listen to it. There
were a lot of people and it was really fun back then.

/party/<dldudns>: We do regular inspections every week, right?

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: Hahahahahaha Wow, it must have been a


long time since you came…. Now I don’t even have to do regular
inspections.

/party/<deer byeolre>: That’s why people say that

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: They opened a regular maintenance window


and made it so that only we could play the game.
/Party/<Deer byeolre>: It looks like everyone is eating breakfast
together at that time?

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Mangame SSIBALㅠㅠ

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: I understand your conceptㄷㄷ

By the way, unless it’s a bug, there’s no way you can throw the
game dice and hit it. Yeowoon opened an internet window and
searched for ‘Little Forest 2 Skyspire Hit by the Dice’. I wonder if
there are more people who got hit by the dice like the Earth Star….

‘[Lipo♣Daily Life] Mon Xue Xue’s Sky Spire Breakthrough Part 2♡


(with pressure, BGM)’

‘[Video] Skyspire monkeys provided true education…. (#Little Forest


2)’

Among the review posts like the one above, one article that matched
the keyword Yeowoon was looking for came out. When I clicked on
the external link on the portal site, I was connected to a public
inquiry written on the Little Forest official website.

[Little Forest 2 Inquiry Bulletin Board]

Q. I got hit by the dice and lost.

-Time of problem occurrence: Around 8 PM today


-Inquiry: I was playing the Skyspire Raid in Skyland. Since the party
members are my school friends, they will all be mad (I was ranked
last in the whole school) and everyone except me will be incapable
of fighting…. It wasn’t long until their resurrection, right? In modern
times, they say I threw the dice because I was the captain…. He
died suddenly after being hit by a dice…;;; It was almost over and all
I had to do was go through one more lap, but I wasted a lot of time
because of the dice bug. Because of my parents, I only play games
for two hours a week. In fact, even if they restore everything,
wouldn’t I be the only one losing time? My friends and I used a lot of
healing potions. If you don’t compensate us for the damages, I will
sue the game. You don’t want to be sued, right?^^ Then, let’s
compensate.

If you don’t do it, I’ll go play lol ㅡㅡ

└ A. RE: I got hit by the dice and lost.

-Hello♣ Player~

-After reviewing the matter, we have confirmed that the dice hit
damage in the Sky Spire map is not a bug! If you don’t want to
experience the same thing again, we recommend that you quickly
avoid getting hit after throwing the dice!

-We apologize for any inconvenience caused to players, and we will


continue to work hard to create Little Forest 2.♣

I see I must have gone for a roll….


/party/<dldudns>: When I looked up the inquiry, I heard that there is
an extreme chance of getting hit by the dice!

/party/<dldudns>: It says to avoid it at your own risk.

/party/<i9star>: ? What hahahahaha

/party/<deer byeolre>: Hahahahahahahahahahaha

/party/<deer byeolre>: Godgame-like answer

/Party/<Deerbyeolre>: You always disappoint me.

/Party/<Deerbyeolre>: My game is embarrassing no matter where I


put it out there

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: I’m proud ♣♣

When the dice were thrown and the entire planet returned to the
starting point, the party was all trapped in a round soap bubble and
bounced around the space. Every time a soap bubble hit the floor,
there was a popping sound. When the player camp moved ahead of
the monkeys to the twelfth square, a spring erupted from the
square, and all four people flew out of the map and became trapped
on an uninhabited cloud island.

As a cloud of palm trees gathered around the uninhabited island, a


group of monkeys began throwing bananas. It was enough to take a
light hit from just one of them, but when they were crowded together
in one place and several of them attacked at once, the speed at
which their HP was depleted was enormous.

‘Pure White Cross’

‘HP of the skill caster and party members is restored to a certain


amount.’

It was only after Yeowoon used three stamina recovery skills


alternately that he was able to survive without dying. In particular,
Earth Star, the lowest level among them, had its stamina drop to
less than half in the blink of an eye, so Yeo-woon had to pay even
more attention to managing her stamina.

/party/<dldudns>: This really hurts….

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: ㄱㄴㄲㅇ It’s not an uninhabited island, it’s a


multi-gul zone.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Last time I was going around alone, I got stuck


here on the second lap and diedㅠ0ㅠ

/party/<dldudns>: Oh my….

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Please be kind to me

/Party/<Thank you in English>: HO

/party/<ㅈi9star>: ㄲㅈ
/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: If it weren’t for an uninhabited island, I could have
easily played solo ㅜㅜ

/party/<dldudns>: glkuna

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: What is that reactionㅡㅡ?

Yeowoon just kept his mouth shut. No matter what you say, Earth
will only be annoyed at this point. I sympathized as much as I could
and took their side, but being sensitive…. Yeowoon stretched his
character’s hand up and stroked Earth Star’s hair.

/Party/<Deer Star>: I have a bad feeling about the dice being hit
from the first game and being on an uninhabited island haha.

/Party/<Deer Star>: Just playing a league game right now?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: ㄴㄴ ㅡㅡ

Earth Star fired his gun upwards, but the mobs throwing bananas
seemed to be out of range and threw more bananas as if to scare
him.

‘Paradise’s Armor’

‘A shield equal to 50% of maximum health is temporarily created.’

Thank you is in English. He raised his pure white shield and a round
light spread out from the shield and enveloped the party members.
As a tank, he was able to temporarily block the banana attack when
he used the shield skill. Yeo-woon used his healing skills wisely and
tried his best to prevent the party members’ health from falling below
50%. As a result, the mana grant rate was too fast, but it was no
problem as I brought enough recovery medicine and food items to
almost fill the consumption window.

While the party was stuck on the deserted island for two turns, Mr.
Monkey moved a total of ten spaces and moved ahead of the player
camp.

/party/<dldudns>: Let me say sorry in advance.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Why?

/party/<dldudns>: I think I’ll die a lot when the battle starts later ㅜㅜ

Yeo-woon knew from experience that if he pretended to be pitiful like


this, he would eat less even if he got criticized. Even if there was a
reaction, it was something like, ‘No, I didn’t expect it to be like this;;’
or ‘Oh my god, he’s going to die alone.’ Of course, swearing like that
doesn’t really hurt and it’s none of my business, but no one feels
good about being cursed. Therefore, Yeo-woon’s method of survival
was to lower people’s expectations in advance.

/party/<deer byeolre>: ㄱㅊ newbies can do that

It was a sound I hadn’t heard in a long time. I laughed as I


remembered the Poseidon guild members treating me like a newbie
and taking good care of me in Illusion. They have now taken away
the label of a newbie from me, but even now, when Yeo-woon needs
something, they put aside what they were doing and run to help him.
After searching, I heard that it is difficult to find a guild with a good
atmosphere in one’s lifetime, so I was very fortunate that my first
guild was Poseidon. It was true that I met Yun Ji-gu there and
became even more attached to him.

‘Mana Shield’

‘Increased magic attack defense’

When Yeowoon gave him a buff on the game board as a habit, he


bowed in half and said thank you in English, faithful to the concept.

/Party/<Deerbyeolre>: Heh, used newbies are also newbies, so you


have to understand.

/party/<dldudns>: I’m not a newbie

/party/<deer byeolre>: Nim

/party/<dldudns>: Why?

/Party/<Deer Starlight>: No need for defense buff now.

/party/<dldudns>: Ah….

/party/<dldudns>: Fuck….
/party/<deer byeolre>: Hahahahahaha

/Party/<Deer Byeol-rae>:
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: Is it okay haha

/Party/<Deer Byeol-rae>: It’s a time when you like everything as long


as you use the skill.

“….”

Yeowoon was so embarrassed that he scratched his cheek.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Save MP!

/Party/<Deer Byeolle>: Look, that newbie knows better than the


forest keeper haha. I’ll save it.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: LOL

/party/<dldudns>: Yes.

Yeo-woon was just crushed into a corner by Deer Byeol-re’s words.


Again, Yeowoon was just not familiar with the hunting route because
he had been working as a production worker for half of his gaming
life. It was true. It’s not an excuse. If you tell me my real nickname,
Deokbyeolre will probably recognize me. Maybe Deerbyeolre’s main
character was also one of the people who were waiting in line to
make me food. The afterglow was unfair. I’m really not a newbie.
Lipo is really a stagnant waste?

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: Haha, it’s okay for a forest keeper to not


know anything.

/Party/<Deerbyeolre>: Just trust your sister and follow her~ I will


carry you

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I guess I’m doing the carry right now? Haha.

/Party/<ㅈi9stars>: What Ji did was ridiculous >ㅅ<ㅋㅋㅋㅋ It’s so


funny.

Earth Star started arguing with her, but Deer Star ignored him and
approached Yeo Woon, using expressions of emotion that made her
feel heartbroken. The motion was very confident and had the effect
of making it look more trustworthy.

/Party/<Deerbyeolre>: Just call me sister

/party/<dldudns>: Deer

/party/<Deer Byeolre>: Sister

/party/<dldudns>: Is this guy okay?


Although he was now dressed as a cute little witch with twin tails,
Yeo-woon was a sturdy adult man. Deokbyeolre used an expression
of astonishment at Yeowoon’s shocking confession.

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: Oh, that’s right…?

/Party/<Deer byeolre>: Then, my sister is a little ㄷㄷ

/Party/<Deer byeolre>: Sorry for cutting off the pepper arbitrarily!


Then just trust me ^^

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: How old are you?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Is it possible that she is 50 years old? Whoever


wants to call her older sister

/party/<Deer Byulrae>: 1000 years old

/party/<i9star>: Haha

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I guess there is internet in the underworld these


days?

/party/<deer byeolre>: Because it’s the 21st century.

/Party/<Deerbyeolre>: The afterlife must also develop^^

The nonsensical story stopped as the game progressed again.


‘The captain of the player’s faction, please roll the dice.’

When returning to the original compartment from the uninhabited


island, the same spring came out and sent the party members flying
at once.

“Ah, the uninhabited island has been released.”

As soon as the Earth Star threw the dice, it ran away as if it didn’t
want to be hit again. The dice that fell on the board pulled out a
double 6 again. The player party moved a total of 12 squares and
outpaced the monkeys.

In the second room we arrived at, a treasure chest appeared and


the party was charged with 500 coins. The game was won by using
these coins to purchase items that could penalize the opposing
team, or by ultimately leaving more coins.

‘danger! Battle occurs! Go to the battle zone!’

Just before completing one lap of the board game board, Mr.
Monkey and his group stepped into the battle room. The guidance
message flashed red and the map was loaded for a moment. After
closing and opening my eyes a few times, I could see that the gauge
bar had been filled and I had been moved to the battle zone map.
Above the large cloud, both parties stood facing each other.

/Party/<Deer Byeolle>: Forest Keeper


/Party/<Deer Star>: Thank you, use all buff skills immediately after
loading.

Yeowoon waved the broom in the air and expressed his


understanding.

/Party/<Deer Star>: And from now on, please use all the cooldowns.

/Party/<Deer byeolre>: You only have to last for 3 minutes anyway,


so don’t waste your heals and use them right away. If you save on
MP, you’ll end up in shit.

/party/<dldudns>: Yes

At those words, Yeowoon calmly pressed F2 to switch to the buff


keyboard and began to wait. I wasn’t very confident in my control,
but since I didn’t need control to hone my skills at will, I was
confident I would do well!

At that time, the Earth Star suddenly appeared and blocked Yeo-
woon’s vision. His face was shown in a large close-up on the screen,
and Earth Star’s nickname quickly appeared in the chat window.

/party/<ㅈi9star>:

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Min

/party/<ㅈi9star>:
/party/<ㅈi9star>: Mr.

/party/<dldudns>: Me?

/party/<i9star>: Yes >_< !!

/party/<dldudns>: ?

Why did you call me so urgently? Do you have anything to say?

The Earth Star then took a step back and continued speaking
quickly.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I saw earlier that there was a skill that added


attack speed and agility.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: What is the exact percentage?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: By exactly what percentage does the attack


speed increase? How many seconds is the cooldown?

Fortunately, the tank user’s computer was a bit slow, so it was still
loading, so there was still time to chat. The lingering feeling is
‘Shooting☆Dash!’ I checked the detailed description section of the
skill.

[Skill Name] Shooting☆Dash!


Quickly moves the surrounding air, increasing the agility and attack
speed of the forest guard and people around him.

☞Agility (affects movement and jumping speed) increases by 5%

☞Attack speed (only applies to normal attacks and physical attacks)


increases by 20%

☞Weapon used: Broom

Yeowoon recited the information written in the skill description.

/party/<dldudns>: Agility 5%, Attack Speed 20%

/party/<dldudns>: Lasts 2-30 seconds, cooldown is 120 seconds.

The earth star jumped upward and was delighted at Yeo-woon’s


words, which included only the necessary information.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: That’s enough!!

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Then it will be perfect.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Please save that skill

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Please write something else except that.

/Party/<Deer Byeolle>: Huh?


/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: And if you write it right away when I ask you to do
it, ㄱㅅ!!

“…?”

I don’t know what it is, but I’m not a child who has no thoughts at all.
Yeo-woon didn’t comment on those words and said, ‘Shoot☆Dash!’ I
put the skill into the empty space on the F1 keyboard. The purpose
was to reduce the delay until the skill was used as much as possible
so that the skill could be used immediately when Earth Star
requested it to be used.

/party/<deer byeolre>: Hmm? Agility isn’t that important here….

Perhaps because there was something puzzling about Earth Star’s


request, Deer Star made a gesture of contemplation, telling Yeo
Woon that he could use up all his buff skills now.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: If it’s not important, it’s okay to use it later, right?


Haha.

/Party/<Deer Stare>: Why?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: You really don’t even know what’s wrong lol.

/party/<deer byeolre>: ?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I’ll show you later >_<


Deerbyeolre shrugged his shoulders as if he couldn’t understand
Earthbyeol’s words. The lingering feeling was the same, but it was
roughly as expected. Even in Illusion, he was a kid who risked his life
on his movement speed, so it seemed like he wanted to appeal that
he was fast this time as well. It wasn’t just a day or two that he
started to show strange obsession, but now it seemed like he was
doing it.

‘But why do villains always wait for their opponent to be ready and
then attack them and lose? If it were me, when I was confused, I
would hit first.’

Yeowoon looked at the monkey waiting in an attack stance and


thought about something. Monkeys waiting for the opposing party to
prepare…. The villains who waited for each scene of the
protagonist’s squadron to transform, let alone surprise attack,
seemed much more just.

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Thank youㅠㅠㅠ

Thank you belatedly, I accessed the battle zone in English. When I


saw him crying, it seemed like he was sorry for being late.

‘The battle with Mr. Monkey’s gang begins.’

As soon as the player tank entered the battle zone, the fight with Mr.
Monkey began.

As we entered the battle stance, the BGM changed. A tense and


urgent melody flowed, as if being chased by something. Giggeek,
Giggeek! The ear-piercing sound of the violin harmonized with the
melody, creating a battle atmosphere.

‘Time remaining: 03:00.’

‘Time remaining: 02:29.’

‘Time remaining: 02:28.’

The hourglass turned upside down and the timer started ticking. The
time limit is 3 minutes. If you can withstand the attack for just 3
minutes, you can play the board game again. It was a merciless
system where if the party was wiped out without a single survivor
within that time, the dungeon would be reset and the player would
have to start from the beginning.

‘If I stand here, I’ll reach all my skills, right?’

The petty monkeys rushed at him frantically and made physical


attacks using their claws. Perhaps because it is a map with the motif
of Mureungdowon, when a monkey pulls out its fur and snaps its
fingers in the air, the number of mobs increases. When you look at
them alone, they look quite cute, but when they are crowded
together, it’s a bit creepy. If it is not dealt with quickly, the number
will increase exponentially, making it even more burdensome.

Yeowoon placed a healing magic circle within a certain range,


creating a space where HP gradually filled.

/Party/<Deer Starlight>: Forest keeper, good luck ^^


Deerbyeolre was really trying to treat himself on the same level as
Earthbyeol, but even though he wasn’t using that great of a skill, he
gave Yeowoon a thumbs up and praised Yeowoon one by one.
What’s so great about a healer being healed? ‘Oh my newbie, you’re
breathing well!’ It felt strange to hear the same compliment.

‘The Paladin’s provocation!’

When the tanker made a loud noise, the monkeys attacked him. He
used a large shield at the forefront and used provocation and shield
skills alternately to receive a certain amount of damage.

‘Dancing Pistol♪♬’

The Earth Star spun around like a top and fired bullets in all
directions. It looked like it was dancing.

The Earth Star jumped around and rolled on the floor, avoiding the
monkeys’ physical attacks and attacking, causing extensive damage
to the enemy. Even though he was more than 10 levels lower than
other people, his damage contribution was much higher. However,
because most of his attacks were mobile, he sometimes went
beyond the tank’s health protection range when attacking, making
him the party member whose health was depleted the fastest.

‘The Witch’s Sacrifice’

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Phew, it was almost wrinkled!!!


Even though Yeo-woon saved her life twice when she almost died,
Earth Star continued to fly in all directions, not knowing that her life
was a waste. On the other hand, Deokbyeolre, a shaman, kept his
stamina stable by standing calmly next to Yeowoon and using his
skills while receiving healing from him. Even though we are the same
dealer, is it because our jobs are different, or is there a difference in
personality? It was interesting that the two people’s playstyles were
quite different.

/Party/<Deer byeolre>: My daughter

/Party/<Deer Stare>: Heal me ㅠ

‘Altar of Life’

/party/<deer byeolle>: ㄱㅅ

Deerbyeolle climbed onto the healing magic circle created by


Yeowoon and stood still for about 3 seconds, recovering his stamina
to full health. It was the ideal party scene. Perhaps because each
person did their part properly, they were able to last one minute
without a single person dying. In comparison, the monkeys died
twelve times to the Earth Star and three times to the Deer Star, and
the player party was ahead in the total score. The points you get
from killing a monkey weren’t that big, but it was okay because you
didn’t lose any points.

“But the original boss doesn’t attack at all?”

Although he occasionally slams his large fist, Mr. Monkey’s


movements are slow due to his large body, so even Yeo-woon was
able to dodge the attack without difficulty. It was then.

Jallang!

‘Mr. Monkey used 500 coins to purchase the <Comrade Gil> item.’

“…?”

/party/<deer byeolre>: ㅁㅊ???

‘Mr. Monkey used the <Comrade Gil> item.’

By the time more than half of the sand in the hourglass had flowed
out. Suddenly, Mr. Monkey’s gang’s coins decreased by 500, and a
red debuff icon appeared under the lingering skill window. It seemed
to be an item effect.

“prison…? what?”

This is my first time seeing an icon like this. When Yeowoon gently
moved the mouse cursor over the icon that looked like an iron bar,
an explanation of the debuff appeared in small letters below it.

[Debuff] Spread damage

-Effect: 30% of the damage suffered by the player with the lowest
maximum health is additionally spread to party members.
-Duration: 20 seconds

To put it simply, if the weakest one gets hit, the other party members
will die as well. If you are the player with the lowest maximum
health…Is it a low-level Earth star, or is it me, a healer? Since the
‘maximum stamina’ mentioned in that explanation is based on the
character’s pure stamina stat without adding any equipment or
doping effects, I was a bit confused about who the target was. It
seemed like it was probably Earth or Yeo-woon himself.

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: Hey guys, we are ♣♣ done^^

/party/<i9star>: ?

/party/<dldudns>: Why??

/Party/<Deer Byeol-rae>: Use Gil Comrade right before the ultimate


= Game over

/Party/<Deer Star>: When one person dies in Gil Comrade mode,


they all die in a row.

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: If you get hit with the ultimate while in DV,
one person will die, so the fatality rate is 100%. This game is a
disaster.

Mr. Monkey chuckled with an evil expression on his face, as if he


was listening to this conversation. I can’t see his eyes because of
the sunglasses, so I don’t know how he was able to express such an
obnoxious expression so well. There was still about 1 minute and 10
seconds left until the end of the battle.

/Party/<Deer Byul-rae>: I should have looked into it from the first


episode when I was caught on an uninhabited island…I’m really
screwed

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: You pick me- _-;;

/Party/<Thank you in English>: SSIBAL haha

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Throw

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: Your concept is broken haha.

“Thank you” is English. Deer Byeol-re stood there without using any
skills, as if he had really lost his will to play the game. It seemed like
it was none of my business whether the monkey ran towards me
and reduced my HP or not. Yeowoon thought it was too early to give
up right now. He intervened among party members who had lost
their will and was busy restoring their HP.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Thank you, listen carefully.

/party/<Thank you in English>: ?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: The breath is fired when it goes from 57 to 56


seconds.
/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I will use sprint in 58 seconds to break through
the camp.

/party/<Thank you in English>: Yes?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Please follow me and put up a shield just once.

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Hey, am I going too?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Haha why? Are you afraid of dying?

/Party/<Thank you in English>: That can’t be possible^^

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Let’s go^^

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Good^^b

He gave that long explanation in just a few seconds, and this time he
turned to Yeowoon and spoke.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Please apply that buff as soon as 1 minute has


passed.

/party/<dldudns>: Yes

Yeowoon looked up at the timer and said, ‘Shoot☆Dash!’ I placed


my finger on the skill in advance.
/Party/<Deer Byeol-rae>: Even if it’s useless haha, everyone’s going
to die anyway.

When Deerbyeolre said those words, the timer minutes changed


from 2 to 1, and the one-minute countdown began. After swallowing
the slime ball, Earth’s body instantly became translucent.

It is now.

Right before he jumped out, Yeowoon used a buff to give him agility
and increased attack speed.

‘Shoot☆Dash!’

‘Increased agility and attack speed’

‘Become stronger’

‘Increased physical attack defense’

After giving the defense buff in the nick of time, I looked at the
screen and saw a faint shield pattern engraved on the head of the
Earth Star flying into the distance and then disappearing. There was
nothing Yeowoon could do now.

Earth Star, who quickly broke through the swarm of monkeys with
the tank and landed safely in the opponent’s camp, has already lost
more than half of her HP after being hit by a monkey.
‘That’s because I eat things like slime balls!’

Yeowoon mumbled, worried about him. The effect of the slime ball
pudding item cuts defense by half, but what good does it do to
increase speed? If a single hit from a jjol can make you look like
that, it’s clear that even a slight swipe from the ultimate will melt you.

‘Paradise’s Armor’

‘A shield equal to 50% of maximum health is temporarily created.’

Earth Star hurriedly took a recovery medicine to recover its HP, and
was struggling with only about 100 HP remaining thanks to the
protective shield provided by the Paladin.

58 seconds. Mr. Monkey’s eyes flashed red. It meant that he was


about to use his ultimate skill. The tank that would set up the shield
was far away in the center, and the Earth Star had arrived right in
front of Mr. Monkey’s nose, no matter what he was thinking. The
party is scattered, so neither the buff nor the heal can reach you.
Unlike before, there seemed to be no hope at all.

Just as I was about to give up, Earthstar instantly triple-jumped and


jumped upward, reaching back and striking the air with his gun.

‘Triple shot!’

Bang, bang, bang! The body naturally fell backwards as a reaction to


the trip shot. After spinning about three times in the air as if back
tumbling, he passed over Mr. Monkey’s head and went backwards.
/party/<Thank you in English>: ?

‘Death Fire!’

Kugwagwang! Fire burst out from the Earth Star’s gun and struck
the mob from behind. A bullet accompanied by a strong flash and
flame effect, like a grenade exploding, penetrated the boss’ torso.

And 56 seconds.

/party/<deer byeolre>: Uh

/party/<deer byeolre>: What is it?

Mr. Monkey, who was supposed to shoot his breath from his mouth,
only slammed his slow fists into the ground, his eyes turning black
again.

55 seconds. The ultimate still hasn’t come out. 54 seconds, 53


seconds…. It seemed like the skill had been canceled altogether.

‘How on earth can I cancel the boss skill?’

Even while everyone was speechless and dazed, Earthstar attacked


Mr. Monkey from behind without stopping. Earth’s damage
contribution began to rise tremendously. The Mr. Monkey Raid
begins only with one minute left in the countdown.

/party/<deer byeolre>: Heel me


Only then did the party members come to their senses and began
attacking only the boss mobs, not paying attention to the minor
monsters. Meteorites rained down from the sky with spectacular
effects, and Deer Byeolre defeated the boss with his meteor skill. It
was a victory for the player party, who killed the boss mob with 2
seconds left until the end of the battle and earned 50 free points.

‘I defeated Mr. Monkey.’

‘An additional 50 death points are given as a boss bonus.’

/party/<ㅈi9star>: ㄴㅇㅅ hahaha

As soon as the battle was over, the game screen returned to the
board. The Earth Star danced as if pleased with the clean ending.

/Party/<Deer Byeolle>: Wow…This is my first time catching that


boss monkey;;

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Thank you;;

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: It’s been a while since I broke the concept,


so I’ll just say it in words ㅡㅡ

/Party/<Thank you in English>: That should be it.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: LOL
Earth Star kept silent until the end, even when party members asked
what the secret was, and only after defeating the boss by nullifying
her ultimate in the last turn did she reveal the secret.

/party/<ㅈi9star>: When the minimum attack speed exceeds a


certain level,

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: When my skill is used, the skill the opponent was


trying to cast is canceled.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I experimented with small mobs, but the skill


damage was mostly negligible for mobs that used skills other than
basic attacks.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Not all, but most of them haha

How did they figure it out and how did they conduct the experiment?
I was always amazed by Yeowoon’s passion for the speed of the
Earth’s star. Even in Illusion, Earth was the first person to create the
Night Spear attack tree by changing all kinds of equipment and
experimenting. I never dreamed that Little Foret was also conducting
research on it. If it was because I was doing research like this that
made me seem so busy, I could understand it a little bit.

/party/<dldudns>: If most skills are cancelled, doesn’t that mean it’s


not 100%?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Yes, I haven’t gotten the equipment right yet….


>_<;; That’s why proper potion doping and buffing are needed.
/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Listen, if you look at the Skyspire solo video that
was done before the Paladin was downgraded,

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: The boss fired a breath, but looking at the health


depletion and the percentage of damage from the previous hit, it
was only as worn as if it had been hit by the boss’s fist.

/party/<deer byeolre>: Oh, that’s right haha.

/Party/<Deer Byeolre>: I was curious about how the defense was


done, so I asked them to reveal the options too haha.

/party/<dldudns>: Where do I see that?

/Party/<Deer Starlight>: If you search for Skyspire on MeTube, it


comes up at the top haha.

Yeowoon entered the MeTube link in the address bar and searched
for the video in question.

[(Legend) I cleared Skyspire on extreme difficulty for the first time


alone.]

The video was quite long, probably because it was edited from the
full broadcast. When I roughly scrolled down to the highlight seconds
written in the comments, I came across a part where the paladin,
who survived being hit by the breath alone, cut down the boss in one
go, just as Earth Star said.
[Yonbi, please reveal the low-temperature equipment options ㅠㅠ I
got my defense up to 200, but if I hit the boss’s ultimate, I’m left with
a lot of blood and can’t play solo….ㅠㅠ]

[⤷Mispelling]

[This is really a mainstream broadcast. Anyway, how can you hit the
ultimate and not lose even 50% of your blood? Haha, isn’t that just
an expedient method? Even just looking at cancer, you can’t get that
number.]

[⤷Looking at the damage, it looks like a Suzaku and I have bad


breath]

[⤷It’s real, it can’t be refuted]

[I really like Yonbi-hyung’s videos and it’s the #1 lipo game channel in
my heart, but I feel like I need to explain this. Although it is a full
video with only subtitles, the chat window suddenly disappears in the
middle and the editing points are very visible;; And the most
important thing. Ultimate damage is too weak;; Wasn’t the video
pieced together?]

[⤷They say if they can’t do it, they’ll all be masters. And even in the
full video, they cut out anything that’s too repetitive. People who
don’t know anything about broadcasting are talking so much, it
makes me want to kill them.]

[⤷? I never said anything bad, but why are you making a fuss about
it? It’s a fact that the damage done when hit by breath is excessively
low, but why isn’t this mentioned? Haha. Can you say that the
ultimate skill is something that deals slightly higher damage than the
normal damage? Idiot…The intelligence level of the kids who shield
this is miserable, really haha. What does they gain by sucking on
streamers? They say that haha.]

[⤷★Click on my profile and receive a free cultural gift certificate of


50,000 won★]

[⤷ People who don’t even know anything are fretting about it,
pretending to analyze it haha. I’m tired of chanting and chanting.
Even after a few months, the comment section is crazy. ^^ You guys
are always talking about the past, so do you think Yonbi hyung would
be interested in uploading a video? He even came to live broadcast
and damned. Let’s work on it]

[Yonbi, why do you keep deleting my comments? I think this needs


some explanation. [I don’t watch Suzaku Broadcasting]

[⤷Yeah, don’t explain~ It wasn’t a paid video, so what kind of


explanation is there? . If you can’t see it, just have bad breath^^]

[⤷I really hate Shield Chung~ If it’s not wrong for a professional
game streamer to spread fake information, then what is?
Subscribers didn’t go to Yonbi’s house and break his head, they just
asked for an explanation regarding the damage, but it’s wrong for
Yonbi to keep quiet and say he doesn’t know. In the meantime, the
video got a lot of views, so it’s a shame, but there’s no answer. They
dragged him with the thumbnail and actually came in. If you look at
it, it only shows off and doesn’t give any proper information. If this is
going to be the case, why don’t you just go to bed and brag? Why
are you on MeTube?~~]
[⤷Oh, don’t fight;]

[I also tried to become a paladin back then, but I couldn’t play solo; I
just fell out of the part where I got hit by the ultimate skill haha]

[⤷Damn hahaha you must be weak; Why are you blaming Yonbi for
that? Is Yonbi the same as a fucking middle school student like you?
I must have spent hundreds of times more money just to strengthen
the weapon lol. Why do you come here and get angry when you can
do it yourself by adjusting the items properly?]

[⤷ Here we go again. I’m just saying that’s what I did, so why are we
fighting again?]

[When I wake up in the morning, I come here to see Daechang. Low


blood pressure is cured naturally]

[⤷ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]

[⤷Me too hahaha I wonder what I’ve been doing for over a year….
The Paladin has been downgraded for a long time]

There were many comments in the comments asking whether the


video was manipulated and how to survive the ultimate as a solo
player when it is difficult to defeat a boss even with a party of 4.

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Looking at the video comments, I


heard that the Paladin streamers at that time had breath support as
an equipment option?
That was also an opinion that came up a lot in the comments. Half
of the comments were suspicious of manipulation, but the remaining
half of the comments countered that it was possible with just the
right equipment, and started a fight in the comments, so we could
tell.

The Paladin is basically a tank class, so its physical strength and


defense are much higher than other classes. Before it was nerfed, it
was said that its single attack power was as strong as that of a
dealer, to the point where it was called a dutiful class. The Paladin at
that time, who had high defense and attack power, seemed to think
that a solo clear was quite possible.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: No, it’s not defense.

/Party/<Thank you in English>: How do you say that?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: It’s surprising that no one noticed during this


time…I knew it right away when I saw it haha.

/Party/<Deer Byeolle>: What is it? Damage reduction?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: ㄴㄴ Skill cancel hahaha

/party/<deer byeolle>: ??

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: The skill that the boss casted with a specific skill
was canceled right before, but only the effect remained.

/Party/<Deer Stare>: Isn’t that what you thought?


/Party/<Deer Star>: I’m watching the video right now, but they
haven’t revealed Yonbi’s stats, right?

that’s right. Yeo-woon nodded along. No matter where I looked in the


video, I couldn’t see any parts revealing the stat window or
equipment. The Earth Star giggled in front of the three confused
people.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Ah haha I think I’m such a genius haha >_<

/party/<ㅈi9star>: Look

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: There are bosses where this works and bosses


where it doesn’t.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Mr. Monkey is a mob that works, and Turtle Turtle


is a mob that doesn’t work.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: What is the difference between the two?

“….”

Mr. Monkey and Turtle Turtle were both the names of dungeon
bosses. There doesn’t seem to be any difference, so what is it? Is it
a habitat? One lives on land and one lives in water?

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Size difference?

/party/<ㅈi9star>: Oh ㅇㅇ
/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Monkey is the sub-boss and Turtle is the boss.

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Is that important? It doesn’t seem


important at all;;

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: No, that’s the most important thingㅡㅡ

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Lipo boss is resistant to stun + knockback, so


that effect doesn’t work?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: But Mr. Monkey is not a boss, but a semi-boss-


like mob that appears once in the middle of the boss stage.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: The reason why this is important is that both stun


and knockback are effective against the semi-boss >_< LOL

When I heard those words, an exclamation mark was engraved in


my mind. I felt like I knew roughly what he was trying to say. It
sounds like you bought time by using a skill with a stun spell before
using your ultimate skill to put the monster into a temporary state of
stun.

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Oh wow

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: If you stun just when you are using the skill, you
will be stunned for about 1 second and the skill will be cancelled.

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Wow hahahahahaha


/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: But it doesn’t just work out. There are conditions
that must be met!!!

It was cute that he explained things so excitedly, like a fish in water.


The Earth Star paused and stamped its feet on the ground as if it
was trying to say something great. Deerbyeolre nodded his head
eagerly, as if pleased with his answer. Since he didn’t say anything, it
seemed like he was looking for the video he was talking about and
comparing it.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Now, take a look at the paladin’s downgrade from


a few years ago here.

/party/<ㅈi9star>: The stats that were nerfed were agility/attack


power

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: The skills that were nerfed were attack


power/attack speed/cool time

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I no longer have the specs to play solo.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: The secret is attack speed

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I use a skill with knockback, but if my character


has attack speed,

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: The skill goes in slightly earlier than the opponent.

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Oh, that’s ridiculous, I didn’t pay any


attention to attack speed;;
/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: So not all Paladins were able to play solo
hahahaha. Only those who happened to have the attack speed
option were able to clear solo>_<

/Party/<Thank you in English>: You are not a newbie;;;

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Are you a genius????

/party/<ㅈi9star>: Hmm

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I don’t know about other jobs, but based on my


job, the minimum attack speed to cancel the opponent’s skill is 200?
It seems like it’s on the edge

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: So, after receiving the buff, I got a stable number


>_<LOL

/party/<ㅈi9star>: ㄱㅅㄱㅅ

“Well, I did well.”

Then, it is largely thanks to me that I was able to cancel the ultimate


game in every game and securely win. Yeowoon, who thought he
hadn’t done much, felt a little proud at those words. I felt a bit elated
to hear that it was helpful.

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Teacher, I actually…. I took a video


earlier, can I upload this?
/Party/<Thank you in English>: I’m trying to figure it out on my own,
so I don’t have much equipment and I’m a beggar, so if anyone can
figure it out, I’ll beg them to write a strategy.

/party/<ㅈi9star>: ㅇㅇㅋㅋ

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: But one week? Please upload it later

/Party/<Thank you in English>: Why is it only a week?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: There is such a thing haha, if it is revealed in


advance, I am at a disadvantageㅠ0ㅠ…I don’t care about that kind
of thing~~

/Party/<Thank you in English>: One week…Hmmmm

Earth Star said something meaningful and waved at Mr. Monkey and
his group who came in late. After the last turn, a contribution table
reflecting the results of the board game and battle appeared.
Afterglow was responsible for 5%, Deer Byeolre and Thank You in
English together accounted for 8%, and Earth Byeol alone was
responsible for 79%.

Yeo-woon felt like he was dying because he was so proud of Earth


Star that he was able to get 100 per day without even regretting his
small contribution. I was even more proud because I thought I had
figured this all out on my own, even though no one had told me how.

I only delved into speed and have now become quite an expert.
Even though he was playing the same game, he seemed to enjoy it
two or three times more deeply than he did. The ability that was
rotting in Illusion shines in other games as well. In my heart, I
wanted to immediately bring Yun Ji-gu and pat her on the head,
calling her smart.

‘STAGE CLEAR!’

‘You have obtained <Tenon Temple Entrance Ticket> as loot.’

When I broke through the dungeon in one round, the people waiting
outside raised question marks. Earth Star asked Yeo Woon after
removing Deer Star and Thank You from the party.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Maybe

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: How was I? lol

The desired answer seemed transparent. Yeah, you’re cool. You’re


the best~ With that in mind, Yeowoon gave him the thumbs up on
both hands to show that he was the best. Earth Star, who was
elated by his double pole, raised her head with her arms crossed.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I know too haha >_< haha

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Then, can you come with me today??

/party/<dldudns>: Yes?
When I asked why he was the only one left behind when everyone
else withdrew, he said something like this again. Is it special
treatment? Why only to me? Yeowoon had doubts again.

/party/<dldudns>: Why again?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: It was a bit difficult because I went alone until


now.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I think it’s definitely easier since I have a healer.

/party/<dldudns>: Aha

If it’s convenient, you can do that. Yeo-woon’s doubts disappeared


like melting snow.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I have to reach level 100 within this week.

/party/<dldudns>: Why this week?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: It’s okay, I’ll tell you later

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Do you have time now? >_<

/party/<dldudns>: Take a look….

/party/<dldudns>: Hmm….
/party/<i9star>: ?

/party/<dldudns>: ….

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Are you pushing me now?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: ㅡㅡ;;

/party/<dldudns>: I looked at the time and it looks like I don’t like


it…. Then I’ll come back after dinner.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: No, no!! Can you please go somewhere with me


now??

/party/<ㅈi9star>: It won’t take long, please 8ㅅ8

While saying that, he used the expression of shining eyes and


expressing his emotions. Yun Ji-gu’s face appeared over the figure
pretending to be pitiful, and Yeo-woon nodded without realizing it.
Now, even when this is not in front of me, I use handsome men.
Yeowoon laughed heartily as he thought about something foolish.

They headed to their destination in harmony, with countless idle


people hanging behind them like tails.

<Deer Byeolle>: Hmm.

The deer, left alone in the place they left, stood still for a while as if
searching for something, and after a while, a command indicating
that the skill had been reset appeared above his head. He raised his
skills again and slowly began experimenting on the monsters around
him.

<Deer byeolre>: What is it?

<Deer byeolre>: It doesn’t work at all?ㅡㅡ

Exactly one month later. A video was uploaded. Users who were
stimulated by the ball launched by Earth Star began researching the
correlation between attack speed and skill chewing. As a result, they
realized that not only can a skill be canceled if used at the right time,
but in PVP between users, the skill with the faster attack speed is
used first, so it can have a significant impact on PVP victory or
defeat.

Afterwards, new skill trees designed using attack speed for various
occupations began to become popular for a while. It was a much
more inefficient and expensive route than the existing skill tree, but it
was just great fodder for people who had nothing else to do. The
attack speed skill tree went through transformation after
transformation, and someone even created a completely new meta.
The dwarves, who had been wandering around the village because
they had nothing more to do, were very excited as they walked
around Ganghwaseok for the first time in a long time.

This was the result of a short strategy video that was only 3 minutes
long.
***

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: How about this? >s<

The Earth Star, which changed its hairstyle, spun around in place. It
was a style where the hair was tied like a bud on the top of the
head. Yeowoon responded to his words by applauding.

/party/<dldudns>: That hair is very popular

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Hmm, looking at it again, I don’t like the length.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I don’t think you have eyes for that!!

“What are you saying?”

What number is this? If this is going to be the case, why did you
bring me here? Yeowoon grumbled to himself. At the beauty salon,
Earth Star picked out all kinds of hair, putting it on and taking it off in
front of Yeo Woon. He begged me to go somewhere with him, and
the best he could do was drag someone to a hair salon. He dragged
himself along just because he was getting tired of trying to change
his style on his own every hour.

‘What a grand favor I had to ask for.’


Light blue, red, long and half-tied hair, historical drama hair…. Earth
Star, who was trying all kinds of styles, turned her head to look at
herself and said a little later.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I had a good idea haha

Where did the confused attitude of not being able to make a choice
go? Without the slightest hesitation, Earth Star began to change her
style by moving around the NPCs in the hair salon. It would cost
quite a lot of money to change the hair just once, but it seems like
users gave a lot of money to Earth Star.

Yeo-woon did not follow Earth Star inefficiently, but instead took a
position in the middle and stood still. Since the character did not
move for a long time, the character switched to standby motion and
slightly threw the broom and caught it. The low twin tails swayed
gently with the movement.

Perhaps because it was a character created a long time ago,


Yeowoon’s character was quite small. Looking at it now, I regret why
I didn’t increase my height a little more when customizing my body
shape. If I could go back to when I was creating a character and
modify my body shape, I would have increased my height and
muscle mass to the maximum, regardless of gender. There is a
prejudice that just because you are a forest keeper or a healer, you
are always weak…It’s not prejudice, it’s the truth, so shouldn’t we
look as strong as possible on the outside? Life is about suppressing
the momentum.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: How am I?>_<


After a while, the Earth Star, with its appearance completely
repaired, appeared. The result was a bit different from what I had
been trying to do with my hair in various unique styles. I thought he
would choose a colorful style like in Illusion, but the style he
appeared in now was surprisingly common in both color and shape.

/party/<dldudns>: That’s a humming cut.

/party/<dldudns>: That’s popular too.

The humming cut is still a style favored by quite a few users thanks
to its delicately expressed hair that appears to be slightly messy and
flowing. Although it seemed like I would get tired of it quickly
because it was more of a neat shortcut than flashy. In particular, in
the case of Yun Ji-gu, who was standing in front of me, it felt quite
different from the Earth star I was used to, perhaps because she
had dyed her hair a light brown color.

The eye plastic surgery chosen by Earth Star was ‘a bright face’.
Overall, it was a style that gave a gentle and cute feeling with round
eyes and drooping eye corners. The color was brown like the hair,
and, as its name suggests, there was a large glow in the center of
the eye, giving it a bright look. Even the eyelashes were customized,
so it felt quite different from Chorong’s existing face.

“…what?”

I felt something off. Every time the Earth Star blinked and the
corners of her mouth folded into a soft smile, I felt a little strange. In
some ways, it can be seen as a common style, but this feeling does
not come just from being common.
/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I decorated it similar to a friend I know haha.

“….”

That was it. It wasn’t exactly the same, only the atmosphere was
slightly similar, but it seemed like he was feeling this way because
the person who customized the character was Ji-gu Yoon.
Somehow, my stomach felt calmer than I usually like, so that model
was me.

/party/<dldudns>: Is that okay?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: LOL Part-time job? He didn’t get my permission


either.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: They just took someone else’s face and used it in


another game.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Haha

“….”

Yeowoon was speechless. Now that I think about it, it was more on
my part. Even when I was not close to Yun Ji-gu, his style was so
impressive that I applied it to the game character. I didn’t think much
of it at the time, but I was embarrassed to think that the person
involved must have seen it.

“uh?”
At that time, Earth Star took off her clothes and was left wearing
only panties. Yeo-woon was embarrassed without even realizing it
because the confidence of showing off his bare skin in front of so
many people seemed like an exhibitionist. Even though the people
around me were not real people but NPCs, I also wondered what
was the point of stripping the data cloth from a character made up of
0s and 1s. But knowing it with your head and understanding it are
two different things. When I heard that that character was modeled
after Yeo-un himself, I felt like I was being exposed for no reason.

Yeowoon was quietly watching Earth Star change her clothes with a
slightly stiff face. She wore see-through plastic pants over her naked
body.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: How about this?

“Fuck.”

Yeowoon muttered, his face turning white as if he were wearing


perverted pants. Vinyl pants were an item released as a trap item
when the see-through look first became popular. I wondered why on
earth I bought the clothes I was giggling about, wondering who
would wear that.

/party/<dldudns>: Don’t play around lol

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Then what about this?

He had large butterfly wings on his back. At the same time, the
plastic pants he was wearing disappeared, making him look like a
strange person with only wings on his bare body.
‘Are you trying to take revenge?’

Yeo-woon hit Earth Star on the head. There was a significant


difference in the heights of the characters, so Yeowoon’s character
jumped high and hit the Earth Star with his clenched fist. Among the
interactive emotional expressions, there was an emotional
expression called ‘hitting honey with honey’. The Earth Star’s HP has
dropped by 1.

/party/<ㅈi9star>: Ouch

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Why are you hitting me>_ㅠ

/party/<dldudns>: I almost killed him^^

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Oh, if you don’t like it, say it in wordsㅡㅡ

/party/<dldudns>: not good

/Party/<ㅈi9Byeol>: Why do you have a straight face?

/party/<dldudns>: Say it with words.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Don’t look at meㅡㅡ

Yeo-woon hit Earth Star again on the head.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Hahahahahahaha it hurtsㅜ


/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Then what about this?

Is this kid kidding me? . The Earth Star wore sumo panties on a
character resembling Yeo-woon. Yeo-woon lost his mind as he
carefully turned back and showed off his round buttocks. The planet
Earth, which used to never buy or collect items that weren’t cute,
has changed.

/party/<dldudns>: A little frustrated

/party/<dldudns>: You seem harsh^^….

The clothes I was wearing from earlier were all clothes that exposed
my bare skin, and the clothes I wore were all like that.

/party/<i9star>: Is that so?

/party/<dldudns>: ㅇㅇ

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: LOL But I’ll just leave it at that>_<

/party/<dldudns>: ?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: No one wants to use a character created after


me.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I always barely cover my forehead with leaves


/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I’m wearing a strange rag now haha.

/party/<dldudns>: LOL

/party/<dldudns>: I don’t know, but I think it’s too harsh for revenge.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Is this going to be okay?

/party/<dldudns>: You’re not going to be okay?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I think he will be fine, not you.

/party/<dldudns>: You’re not going to be okay?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Hahahahahahahahahaha

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Why are you upset?

/party/<dldudns>: Put some clothes on ㅡㅡ

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: It’s not you either, so let’s just move on, right?

It’s me.

/party/<dldudns>: ㅇㅇ;

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Hahahahahahahaha
Since I was hiding my identity from Earth, I couldn’t just force it. And
if he even gets suspicious, he’ll be in big trouble.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Oh, there’s something like this again hahahaha.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Is Lipo an adult game? LOL

/party/<dldudns>: …thief

In the front, he was wearing a normal shirt that covered his thighs,
but when he turned around, the entire back was open, so the full
body harness underneath the shirt was visible. In addition, he wore a
black rabbit headband on top of his head, making him look like a
pervert. Yeowoon was so desperate that he just laughed.

/party/<dldudns>: That’s cute.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Hahahahahahahaha seriously?

The Earth Star tilted its head. I didn’t stop there, I even danced by
pressing the shift key, and I heard the sound of the string of reason
being snapped in my head. Of course, it was cute what Yoon Ji-gu
did, but he couldn’t forgive himself for dressing himself like that.

Yeowoon immediately clicked the illusion icon on the desktop and


started playing the game. It’s childish, but it has to be returned as is.
It seemed like he realized what he had done to Yun Ji-gu all this
time. I thought I knew why Ji-gu Yoon had been telling me not to
dress like that and personally buying me the items….
[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Hahaha

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: We are practicing for a siege. Would you


like to join?

[Guild] neutaaaa: No haha I have to stop for a moment and leave


because of check-in.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: ㅇㅋ

Yeo-woon took off all of her clothes from a character resembling


Yoon Ji-gu and put her in leaf panties that barely covered her crotch.
And I immediately won a pair of fish-eye glasses at an auction
house, paying twice as much for them.

It was the outfit that Jigu Yoon hated the most in the world. Yeo-
woon placed the character in a confident waiting position in the
middle of Isis Square and then rolled down the game window again.
I planned to leave it like this for an hour or two. It would be better if
a guild member who saw you while passing by captured your screen
and posted it on Guild Talk asking why you were doing this. It may
be childish, but it was a small revenge I could take in my own way.

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: Where did you go again?

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I called but there was no answer- _-

/Party/<ㅈi9Star>: I will come after dinner.

/party/<ㅈi9star>: Byung
When I looked up the chat window, I saw a record of Earth Star
calling me countless times while I was working on Illusion. I
wondered how much crappy clothes he had been wearing, but while
he was away, he changed them into decent clothes. The Earth Star
was sitting next to me and had entered a waiting state, dozing off
with its eyes closed. Seeing the character back in his normal
everyday clothes made me feel at peace.

At that time, my cell phone rang.

‘Yoon Ji-gu’

Yeowoon, who was quietly looking at the name on the screen, turned
the game volume down to minimum and answered the phone. You
said you were going out to eat, but what did you call me for? It
seemed like he was trying to invite us to eat together.

“Yes, Earth.”

-brother. Would you like to eat ramen at my house?

As soon as I answered the phone, Yeowoon burst into laughter


without realizing it. Before he could answer, Ji-gu Yoon asked in a
sullen tone, as if he was offended by the fact that he was laughing
so loudly.

-What’s wrong?

“Because you say such classic work comments….”


I couldn’t come to my senses when a comment came to me while I
was not even thinking. I don’t think I said this knowingly, but I don’t
know why it’s so funny. Ugh. The voice on the other end grew
louder, almost sobbing. It seemed like he finally understood what he
meant.

-it’s crazy!

“Why are you flirting with me? “You suddenly want to do it?”

-Oh, that’s not it, so come quickly!

“Do you want me to suck it?”

-Oh, no. I didn’t wash in the morning, but if I shower right away, I
can finish it in 5 minutes….

“Why are you stuttering? It’s just a joke… .”

-….

“Are you going to take off everything and take a shower now?”

-…Why are you talking about taking everything off again?

“Then do you take a shower with your clothes on?”


-I just asked you to come eat ramen, but why do you always think of
trash? It’s not that I don’t like it, I’m just curious. …Ah, it’s hot! it’s
annoying!

At the end, the tone became slightly servile, and even tears came
out. It was obvious what he was thinking. I really want to appeal that
I didn’t say that with that intention, but it seems that only towards
the end did I realize that I was a bit hasty. Yeowoon barely
suppressed his laughter and nodded his head in response.

“Okay, I’ll pretend I’m trash.”

-…I’ll take back what I just said. Because I can’t date trash.

“Oh my, thank you. What were you doing?”

-I got hungry while playing the game. I just uploaded the water, so if
you don’t come back within 5 minutes, I’m going to change your
password. If you’re late, you’ll figure it out.

“I’m hungry.”

-I only have four bags, but I have rice instead.

“I am coming.”

Yeowoon sat my character down next to Earth Star, who was sitting
quietly, and said, ‘Diving!’ A sign was placed in front. Like the planet
Earth, the character entered a waiting state and sat down with his
eyes closed and fell asleep. Yeo-woon got up from his seat and put
his feet into the slippers he had worn at Yoon Ji-gu’s house. Tirorik.
The front door, which opened with a small mechanical sound, was
immediately slammed shut, and the sound of footsteps coming from
beyond the door stopped after only a few steps.

Crash. After I locked the door with the lock, silence came over the
house. The slightly twisted and disheveled shoes in the shoe rack
seemed to indicate that the shoes had been rushed out. In the
deserted house, only the faint sound of the computer running could
be heard.

In an empty room, on a monitor that was shining alone, a male and


female character sat leaning against each other in a friendly manner,
bobbing their heads to the background music.

***

Two days later, Jigu Yoon reached his goal of reaching level 100.
Yeo-Woon felt a little disappointed with him. Usually, on weekday
afternoons, I would send annoying messages all day long and tell
him little details about my day, but I felt like Yoon Ji-gu had changed
a bit these days.

-hello?

“Earth, I called because it was raining.”


-rain? Why is it raining?

“If you leave the window open, water will come in, so close it. I
thought you were going to sleep, but you’re not?”

-Ah yes. I have work to do.

“Did you eat?”

-a moment ago. What about you?

“I’m going down now with my teammates.”

Yeo-woon glanced inside the office and decided that he didn’t need
to hang up the phone yet, so he moved towards the window. A
cloudy sky was visible beyond the hallway window. As I was looking
at the rainy cityscape, my mood suddenly sank.

“What are you doing?”

Even though there was silence for a while, the only sound that
sounded like something being knocked on the other side of the
receiver could be heard.

-Oh, I’m pulling weeds.

“weed?”
What’s the point of pulling weeds in the city? The cafe doesn’t have
a yard, and the house is on the 9th floor….

“Do you grow grass that cats eat at home?”

I don’t know the name, but I felt like I heard it somewhere. There are
many people who grow grass that is good for cats to eat at home.

-yes? no? I also buy lettuce at the supermarket.

“No, you just weeded… .”

“Chief Lee! Let’s go down. I’m here.”

When I came out, Assistant Manager Kim, who was holding a wallet
in his hand, raised his hand and started shaking.

“Oh, yes. …Ji-gu, I have to go eat, so I’ll hang up.”

-yes.

Yun Ji-gu hung up the phone first without any hesitation. Usually he
tells me to enjoy it or to tell me what to eat, but today his voice was
a bit dry. It sounded like something was being done. No way, one
more game….

Ji-gu Yoon
(picture)

A message arrived while I was going down the elevator. Only after
taking a quick look at the team members’ thoughts did Yeo-woon
check the photo sent by Ji-gu Yoon.

There was a black cat sitting between the keyboard and the person
taking the picture. And behind the cat, a monitor screen showing
Little Forest’s vegetable garden appeared. just as expected. Ji-gu
Yoon seemed to be immersed in Little Forest again, holding Posongi
in his arms.

It was about a game.

Ji-gu Yoon

Yes, I’m pulling out those weeds >_< LOL

Ji-gu Yoon

Have a good lunch

Yun Ji-gu belatedly conveyed in a message what he could not say


over the phone. Yeowoon looked down at the text and was
overcome by an unidentifiable feeling.

‘Why is he so obsessed with lipo?’


These days, Yunji-gu was all about gaming. Even when Yeo-woon
insinuatedly asked why he was working so hard, Ji-gu Yoon just
blurted out his words. Considering that his attitude on the phone had
been a little half-hearted just now, it meant that he was more
focused on the game than on the phone call.

What is it? What made Yun Ji-gu like that? There must be
something….

Yeowoon had to be lost in useless worries for a while.

***

/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: Sous chef!

/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: That newbie is at the


Skyland general store.

/ear/<dldudns>: Thank you

/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: If you would like to thank


me, please come back to the main character later and make me one
meal…. High heels and high heels^^
/Ears/<dldudns>: Okay hahaha I’ll call you later when I switch to my
main character^^

/Ear/<Your dream is a graduate student>: Oh wow!!!^0^

Late in the evening, after returning home and logging into the game,
Yeowoon asked a graduate student about the location of the planet
Earth and moved there.

‘found.’

Yeowoon jumped up and sat down on top of the person who was
selling items at the village general store and spoke to Earth Star.

/ear/<dldudns>: We meet again haha.

As I sat down on the railing of the stairs and started talking,


pretending it was a coincidence, Earth Star, who was standing in
front of the NPC, turned and looked up at Yeo-woon.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Oh yes >_<

/ear/<dldudns>: The level is….

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: I told you I would hit 100 within this week!

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: It’s really fast haha.


Fast is fast. But why are you in such a hurry to level up?

‘Is this game so fun that you cut back on the time you spend with
me? You have changed….’

Yeowoon muttered, not realizing that he was jealous of the game he


loved so much.

/ear/<dldudns>: But why did it have to be within this week?

/ear/<ㅈi9star>: ?

/ear/<dldudns>: Level.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Huh

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: It’s a secret haha.

“…this.”

I wanted to grab him by the collar and shake him right away and
threaten him to tell him the truth, but with the current lingering
emotions, there was no justification for that. Yoon Ji-gu, that is,
Earth Star, does not know that ‘dldudns’ is a lingering sound.

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Are you that curious?

/ear/<dldudns>: A little….
Actually, I was very curious. To the point where I want to know the
reason for doing something.

/ear/<ㅈi9star>: Then

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: If you tell me what it is, I’ll let you know too >_<!!

The idea was to ask each other questions one by one. For me, I had
nothing to lose. There was no reason why it couldn’t be done, so
when Yeo-woon nodded, the Earth Star jumped up from its place
and came up to where Yeo-woon was.

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Do you have a lover?

“…?”

It’s you. It felt somewhat funny that he was asking about his own
existence, but I frowned as I wondered why he was asking such a
question.

“Are you going to do something to someone you’ve never met


before?”

I felt strange. Should I be angry or happy about this now? If you


think about it, the person you were working with was yourself. I was
curious what kind of expression Yoon Ji-gu would make when he
found out about this.

/ear/<dldudns>: If so, what do you do?


/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Ah haha I guess it’s there hahahaha

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Is it pretty?

Earthstar poked my cheek and pretended to be pretty. This kid is out


of his mind and slapping his tail at a stranger! Instead of answering,
Yeowoon jumped up and threw honey chestnuts on Earth Star’s
head. Earth Star giggled again when she saw damage 1 displayed in
red.

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Why are you hitting me!

/ear/<dldudns>: ㄷㅊ

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Wow, it’s too much

/ear/<dldudns>: I decided to ask only one question at a time, so it’s


my turn.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: ㅜㅜ I know….

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: But what was the question????

/ear/<dldudns>: I said before that Little Fore wasn’t that fun.

/ear/<dldudns>: Why are you so obsessed with max level?

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: That’s it haha Actually, a while ago I


/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: I started this game following a certain older
brother….

“Which brother?”

Those words were strangely offensive to me. Not a lover, but a ‘kind’
type?

Anyway, I don’t even know if your lover is a man, a woman, or a


monster. You can just say that you started following your lover. Why
are you introducing me as some type of brother?

For a moment, Yeo-woon felt as if she had become Yoon Ji-gu. He


decided to admit it easily. I hate it when Ji-gu Yoon arbitrarily treats
people other than himself and shows affection for people he
perceives as strangers. To be honest, I felt jealous. He glared at
Earth with irritated eyes.

‘Okay, let’s see how far we can go.’

Yeowoon internally gritted his teeth and laughed. It was a rather


sinister-looking smile.

/ear/<dldudns>: So?

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: So to speak, it’s a bit long

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: I have some revenge to take on due to some


circumstances haha.
plural?

/ear/<dldudns>: To that ‘kind of brother’? Haha

That was understandable. Ji-gu Yoon, who was upset with me for
some reason, is preparing for revenge. For some reason, I thought
his attitude was unusual these days.

/ear/<dldudns>: What kind of revenge will you get?

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Questions are one-on-one!!

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: If you’re curious about that, I have to answer one


more thing!

/ear/<dldudns>: ㅡㅡ

/ear/<dldudns>: ㅇ

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Hahahahahahahaha

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: You know….

/ear/<dldudns>: ㅇ

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Do I really have to answer honestly???

/ear/<dldudns>: ㅇ
/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: What do you cringe the most when your lover
does something?

“uh?”

A completely unexpected word popped out. Yeowoon’s mind went


blank and he just blinked.

…What is this guy really? Are you asking this of a stranger?

“Don’t leave me alone….”

Bad habits need to be corrected. Yeo Woon’s character raised his


hand and slapped Earth Star on the head. Without even avoiding the
punches that struck his head in succession, the Earth Star laughed
again, ‘Kkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk’.

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Why do you keep hitting me!

/ear/<dldudns>: Why?

/ear/<dldudns>: yo

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Can’t I ask something like this? ㅡㅡ You didn’t


even say no in advance?

/ear/<dldudns>: Of course not, ask your lover directly.


/ear/<dldudns>: yo

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: You’re speaking informally haha.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Actually

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: My lover’s birthday is just around the corner.

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: I’m trying to ask for advice because I might be


screwed at similar points as you.

“… You said it was revenge, what kind of situation is this?”

Now that I think about it, my birthday is really not far away. Yeowoon
checked today’s date and nodded in understanding.

“If you have any questions, you can come to me and ask directly….”

Why are you asking this to a third party? Yeowoon mumbled without
thinking and then realized something.

“If I tell you, are you going to do it?”

If you think about it, Yoon Ji-gu’s specialty was getting strange
information from the Internet and acting awkwardly in front of him
before getting caught. I wondered where on earth he got all that
information from, but it occurred to him that he could have just
caught a stranger and asked questions like this. In the past, I’ve
picked up strange things on my own and criticized normal people by
asking them to hit me or calling me a pervert.

“Shut this.”

Yeo-woon felt embarrassed for a moment and hit Ji-gu Yoon on the
head.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: I have to keep ㅡㅡ

Even though it only wears down 1 per hit, its HP has been reduced
by half due to being repeatedly hit from before. Earth Star took a
recovery potion to restore his stamina, and Yeo-woon followed him
and punched him in the head again with his fist.

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Oh, why are you doing that!!!

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Do you have a grudge against me????

/ear/<dldudns>: You asked first~ In what situation do you feel the


worst?

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: What does that have to do with me getting beaten


up nowㅡㅡ

It’s relevant. A lot of that too.

/ear/<dldudns>: I
/ear/<dldudns>: I feel the worst when my lover hits me….

/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Huh?

/ear/<dldudns>: My tastes are the same, so please respect me….

/ear/<dldudns>: I don’t know if you wanted this answer.

/ear/<dldudns>: Because Earth Star gently welcomes me

/ear/<dldudns>: To be honest, I still feel like shit….

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: ㅁ;Chinkaikaiojiㅏㅁyo

/ear/<dldudns>: Sigh….

/ear/<i9star>: Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

I must have been embarrassed for a moment when I saw the typo.
Yeo-woon felt the need to discipline Yoon Ji-gu so that he would not
use such vocabulary carelessly with strangers in the future. I
couldn’t understand how anyone could say such rude things to
someone they didn’t know very well.

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Wow~~~ I almost fooled you because you look like


a pervert haha.
/Ears/<ㅈi9Star>: Don’t joke about things like this, are you really
making fun of people?

/ear/<dldudns>: Isn’t this a joke?

/ear/<ㅈi9star>: Ah ㅅㅂ

/ear/<ㅈi9star>: a little

/Ear/<ㅈi9Star>: Don’t hit me!!!!!!!!

The problem was that when I looked at Yoon Ji-gu, I kept wanting to
harass him. As Yeo-woon persistently chased after Earth Star,
repeatedly hitting honey chestnuts, other users in the village seemed
to find it interesting and started hitting Earth Star with honey
chestnuts along with Yeo-woon. Then, they mistakenly hit other
users, grabbed passers-by, and happily beat each other up, causing
a loud thudding sound to echo in the middle of the village.

At that time, I received a call from Ji-gu Yoon. Yeowoon quietly


looked at his phone and pressed the call button only when the call
was about to hang up.

-brother! Do you really suck when you hit me?!

“…?”

This is what people say about making phone calls at random times.
Yeo-woon was in a daze for a moment, unable to judge the situation,
and then asked.
“What are you talking about?”

-I heard it sucks when my brother hits me. Are you really excited?

“When did I?”

-Why do you keep hitting me? Even now!

“….”

-This is my brother!

Puk puk puk puk puk. Yeowoon gently let go of the hand that was
holding the interactive emoticon. Only then did the movement of
beating the honey chestnuts on the head of the Earth star stop.

“how did you know?”

-Why don’t you know? I heard your nickname is Lee Yeo-un in


English.

“…what?”

After hearing those words, Yeowoon looked up at the English


nickname hanging above her head.

dldudns.
Yeowoon Lee.

…Is it true?

-Do you think I’m stupid?

“When did you find out?”

-I knew it from the beginning?

Yeowoon became embarrassed. After hearing that, I thought it was


even weirder that I didn’t recognize him. I came up with nicknames
like this so many times that I even forgot how to spell my name in
English. Most of Yeowoon’s nicknames were just English names. I
thought it was one of those many nicknames.

‘Anyway, you knew from the beginning?’

Then, he deliberately pretended not to know, and used polite


language to act as if he was a stranger. It was said that they knew
everything and were just watching. That’s a little…It was a shame.

-Hey, are you really angry? Why aren’t you saying anything?

“Earth.”

-Of course that’s a lie, right? I know everything just by hearing your
voice.
“….”

-ah! I’m quick to say it’s a lie. yes?

He said he knew everything, but seeing him answer in an impatient


voice made me laugh. It’s ridiculous that he knew everything about
my identity and played with me by pretending not to know anything,
but it’s also quite cute. Of course, the moment I was about to say it
was a lie, a good idea occurred to me. I was quite curious about
what purpose he had in asking me this question and what the
revenge story was about, but there was something more important
than that.

‘Are you the only one seeking revenge?’

It was a small revenge for Yoon Ji-gu deceiving him. Yeowoon


deliberately took a deep breath and spoke seriously, removing all
laughter from his voice.

“Listen seriously. It’s all real….”

-yes?

“When you got hit before, it hurt so much. It’s a pity, but what you
like is more important to me than what I like….”

-Well, well, lie!

“I’m sorry for hiding it for so long. I pretended not to be afraid


because I was afraid of you, but I thought that one day I would tell
the truth. I’ll take this opportunity to be honest about what
happened.”

-Don’t do it, don’t do it! Don’t be honest!

“I don’t need anything else as a birthday present, I just want to


receive it from you….”

-evil! Ouch!

The phone was hung up with a startled scream. At the same time,
Earth also ran away from the game. Anyway, it’s quite sloppy. Yeo-
woon laughed for a while while holding the cell phone that had lost
its call.

***

Hey, you must be kidding. Should I say it was a joke? Are you going
to tell me soon? Even if I forgot yesterday, I should definitely say it
today, right?

From that day on, whenever I met Lee Yeo-woon, it felt like his eyes
were constantly on my butt. The smile that appeared slightly on the
corner of his mouth looked strangely sinister, and Lee Yeo-woon
began to look like a crazy person. Yun Ji-gu was trembling and
watching for several days. A figure holding a frying pan-sized paddle
in his hand flashed over Yeowoon’s face. As I continued to imagine,
the size of the paddle in my imagination grew bigger and the
sensations of that day came back to me clearly, making my
shoulders tremble.

Of course, it wasn’t that he didn’t trust Lee Yeo-woon at all. Contrary


to what I had misunderstood a long time ago, I had heard that he
had no hobby of raising slaves, and that he had never met anyone in
particular.

However, I have never really decided on ‘that taste’ and moved on.
Because all I could think of was Yeo-woon Lee, who hugged me and
soothed me with tenderness as I cried out of pain and injustice. At
the time, I thought that Lee Yeo-woon might have really thought
about herself and just asked.

Yeowoon is basically considerate and is always kind. Sexual


preference aside, he will not do anything he absolutely hates, no
matter what. Every time Yoon Ji-gu experienced an adult feeling that
he had never had since he was born, he felt a little embarrassed
because he felt like such a fool. I feel ashamed of my past self, who
cried after being slapped on the butt by Yeo-woon, and not only that,
but even made her cum. It’s a good thing that only Lee Yeo-woon
saw what happened. If someone I knew had found out, I probably
would have bitten my tongue and committed suicide.

After successfully completing the siege, Lee Yeo-woon came to


Dajjagoja’s house and dragged her out, saying that she had pre-
ordered a movie that was released the day before yesterday.
Looking closely, I saw that it was a cartoon movie that Yeo-woon had
been singing about wanting to see for half a year.
‘It’s obvious.’

It’s probably a story where characters with eyes half the size of their
faces come out and sing a song, then fight, then dramatically
reconcile, sing, and have a happy ending. I thought that two adult
men should hold hands and go see something that only children
watch, but I didn’t dare say that out loud. It’s been a while since we
went to the movies together, and even though I don’t like the genre,
it was nice to watch the movie together.

“Earth.”

“…!”

“… Why are you surprised?”

“Oh, no. I was thinking about something else. What is it?”

“We took the wrong route.”

Yeo-woon smiled apologetically, grabbed Ji-gu Yoon’s wrist and


looked at his phone. Yeo-woon was wondering why he had to watch
a cartoon movie in 4D, so he brought himself to the next town and
was wandering around.

“They say you can get there by crossing the big road across the
park over there.”

“brother. You don’t know how to read a map, do you?”


“The GPS was weird.”

Yeowoon slapped my forehead without causing any pain and


grinned. No matter where you looked, it was a smile so refreshing
that you would never even think of a person with such tastes. What
if someone sees it and falls in love? Ji-gu Yoon walked at the same
pace as Yeo-woon and secretly blushed angrily.

Even though it was a holiday evening, there weren’t that many


people in the park. While walking along the path between the large
trees, Yeowoon’s steps slowed down and he fell behind. Ji-gu Yun
belatedly turned his head and looked at Yeo-woon.

“…?”

Yeowoon was looking at a person sitting on a bench in the distance.


A male student with a youthful face is looking at his cell phone with a
smile. Yun Ji-gu came back, glanced at the person Yeo-woon was
looking at, and asked.

“Do you know this kid?”

“no.”

“But why do you look at me like that?”

“just. I felt like I was going to get hit….”

Yeowoon tilted his head and muttered. One hit?! Yun Ji-gu’s eyes
widened. He immediately turned his head and was wary of the baby
he had never seen before. That’s because the male student sitting
on the bench had a very pretty face, so at first glance, I thought he
was an aspiring celebrity.

“Why don’t you look away quickly?!”

“Yes?”

Lee Yeo-woon brightens her face. Even though I already knew that,
my stomach turned every time I saw it in person. I feel like he will
abandon me at any moment and change to someone else…. All I
had was money and a face, so I had to make good use of what I
already had and keep the lingering feelings by my side.

‘Fuck, is that what you think when you look at that young kid?’

At that moment, Jigu Yoon made a decision. Yes, whether Lee Yeo-
woon is a pervert or whether he hid the fact out of consideration for
me, it’s okay. But it was better to get my ass beaten than to reveal
my tastes to that bastard. It hurts and sucks, but it’s not like Yeo-
woon was a pervert from the moment she was born, so maybe I
also have that kind of taste latent in me. As Yeo-woon always said, I
cummed on the first day I hit him, so I must have a lot of latent
perversion.

“Oh, don’t look! “If I just adjust it, it’ll be fine!”

“huh?”
Ji-gu Yoon covered Yeo-woon’s eyes with his large hand and got
irritated. You are better than that guy. That’s not my taste. Anyway,
that’s it.

“Why are you doing this all of a sudden?”

Yeowoon looked up at herself as if she was dumbfounded. Even


though I had seen the whole thing, I felt sick to my stomach at the
look on his face.

“Oh really! If you’re doing this in front of me, it doesn’t mean it’s
worse when I’m not around! Now, it doesn’t matter how old you are.
Do you have no conscience? Seriously, if you look at me like this
and pretend to be pretty, everyone will think that you like them!”

“What are you talking about? That’s not it, back there…. There was
a kid standing behind the tree holding a club.”

“yes?”

“Seeing that they are hiding, I guess they are gathering their friends
and having a gang fight.”

Kids these days are scary. Yeowoon clicked his tongue and shook
his head. Now I see that behind the high school boy, there is a high
school student with fierce eyes glaring at him. He also looked to be
about the same age as the guy sitting on the bench, but his
expression was unusual. This is because he was smacking his
appetite with a baseball bat in one hand, as if he was preparing
something.
“… Just go.”

If you get involved in something like that, you won’t be able to


recover. Only then did Ji-gu Yoon agree with the statement that kids
these days are scary.

“What if that happens on the news today?”

Yeowoon picked up the cell phone with the map on it and began
texting a report to 112 along with the location information. High
school students are trying to fight with sticks in the park. In less than
a minute, I received a call from the 112 number saying, ‘Registration
complete. ‘We will dispatch quickly.’ came the reply. Yeo-woon
seemed to have finally felt relieved and took a step forward with a
sigh of relief.

“They looked cute.”

“What’s cute? Brother, have you searched your conscience? “You


were both in high school?”

“Yes, you are the most handsome~”

“That’s natural. Is it because he hasn’t grown so much that he’s


smaller than me? “Brother, I can’t go without what’s mine now!”

Yeowoon glanced around at those words and whispered quietly,


relieved that no one heard him.

“I told you not to say things like that outside, right?”


“when?”

“now.”

Yeowoon reached out and pinched Yoon Jigu’s butt hard.

“evil!”

Ji-gu Yoon, who had been talking to himself a little while ago about
the potential perversion in me too, screamed and jumped up like a
ball and ran away from Yeo-woon Lee.

“really!”

Yeo-woon covered her buttocks with both hands and looked at her
as if she were a pervert, and her shoulders trembled and she
giggled.

***

On the way out from watching a movie together, a kid who was
rushing out spilled a drink on Yeowoon. Yeo-woon had no choice but
to return home, wash up, and blink when she saw Yun Ji-gu sleeping
on her bed.
“When did you come?”

The ends of Yun Ji-gu’s hair were wet, as if he had gone home and
washed up. I can’t believe I’m sleeping in someone else’s house
without even drying my hair and taking up the bed.

“I know what I can do and I’m not afraid….”

Yeo-woon smiled faintly and sat down on the edge of the bed,
playing with Yun Ji-gu’s hair. He must have been using his cell phone
just a moment ago, but he was lying face down on the bed, holding
the cell phone with the screen off in his hand. I felt playful when I
saw my lover sleeping well without any response even when I called
his name, “Earth.” Yeo-woon got on the bed, patted Yun Ji-gu’s butt
and whispered.

“wake up.”

“….”

“Yoon Ji-gu, wake up.”

“…huh.”

“If you don’t wake up, I’ll do whatever I want.”

“OMG.”

“I said I could.”
It seemed like he wasn’t sleeping very deeply, as he was muttering
in his sleep as if he was bothered. It seemed like he would wake up
right away if he called just a little longer, so Yeo-woon carefully took
Ji-gu Yoon’s hand and dragged him behind his back. Then, he took
out a random tie from the closet and wrapped it a couple of times
around Yun Ji-gu’s wrist. I couldn’t remember how to tie a knot that
wouldn’t come undone, so I roughly tied it about four times and put
my hand behind my back. After that, Yun Ji-gu looked quite
appetizing.

I put my hand through my pants and felt bare skin in my palm. As I


pressed her firm buttocks, Yun Ji-gu started tossing and turning her
legs. Yeowoon pulled down his pants and underwear at once and
placed them on his thighs.

“Are you still not awake?”

Yeo-woon asked softly in a voice mixed with laughter, rubbing his


buttocks with his palms and then lightly hitting them on the bare
skin. slap! As my palm touched my skin, my butt muscles twitched.
Yun Ji-gu, who was wandering in his sleep, frowned and turned over,
and then opened his eyes in confusion as his hands could not move
as he wanted. He lifted his upper body slightly, looked back, and
took a deep breath when he saw Yeo-woon sitting on his thigh.

“what?”

“Are you awake?”

“brother…? ah!”
match! The palm hit the flesh below violently. All the muscles in my
body contracted, and even my thighs beneath the lingering pain
became hard as stone.

“W-what are you doing now….”

“Yes, wake up.”

“I’m awake, I’m awake!”

Yeo-woon fell down on top of the embarrassed Ji-gu Yoon and


kissed her. I tangled my tongue and pulled it out and sucked it once,
and I felt my tense muscles relax.

“Ugh!”

slap. The skin made contact and made a sound of tearing the air.
Even though the hit didn’t hurt that much, Yun Ji-gu couldn’t hide his
embarrassment and was breathing quickly. Even if you feel
something strange now, there is nothing you can do because your
hands are already tied and your pants are half off. Yeo-woon sat up
on Yoon Ji-gu’s back, and gently swept the palm of his hand over
the reddened skin from hitting only one spot.

“Yoon Ji-gu.”

“yes?”

“Are you upset about something with me?”


“…Sad? why?”

“You said you would take revenge on me.

“When am I? Oh, don’t hit me! sick!”

“Speaking of Lippo, what is the revenge you were trying to get by


pretending not to know that I came as an alt character?”

“plural? That’s not what I wanted to do to you… Huh!”

Yeowoon suppressed laughter as he gently rubbed his reddened


skin with his hands. After getting hit a few times, my skin was
already warm and warm.

“Anyone but me?”

“Brother, but please come down….”

His voice was shaking, as if he hated being beaten so much. This


was the moment when Yeo-woon, who had thought about stopping
the prank at this point, was about to wake up Yoon Ji-gu.

“…?”

“Oh, shit!”
The penis that was under my thighs had been growing in size for
some time. As soon as you slightly lift your waist, your genitals pop
up, appealing to your presence. Afterglow asked, prodding the tip of
his glans, which was wet and shiny, with his finger.

“Why is this like this?”

“Oh, rub it there… “Huh!”

A small dimple appeared on Yoon Ji-gu’s buttocks as she tensed her


body. Yeowoon squeezed his penis quite tightly and asked secretly
as if interrogating him.

“Earth. Why has it already become like this?”

“ah! My brother touched me….”

“I’ve never touched this place before.”

“….”

“Are you right? also?”

Ji-gu Yoon avoided Yeo-woon’s persistent questioning gaze. The


moment he shrank his legs and twisted his waist, a sharp pain hit his
skin. He lay sideways and trembled. I even twitched my legs due to
the unfamiliar pain, but for some reason, heat pooled in my lower
abdomen.
Every time Yeowoon hit me, he gave me a bottle and gently stroked
the skin around it, as if he was giving me medicine. The area
between Ji-gu Yoon’s legs became swollen and swollen from the
skinship that was like a reward after pain.

“Yoon Ji-gu.”

“Ah, Mr. why!”

Even if I pretended to be okay, I couldn’t hide my trembling voice.


The heavily suppressed voice became provocative, and Yeo-woon
covered his mouth with one hand and looked down at Yun Ji-gu, who
was blushing beneath him. Dry water was dripping from the tip of the
large penis, and only a portion of the soap-scented skin was red
under my hand.

I was planning on putting clothes on her again and hugging her to


comfort her after she woke up, but it started out as a joke and the
atmosphere was getting too heated. To be honest, I was also a
student, so I didn’t want to quit here.

“Untie my hands!”

“no.”

slap! He kept hitting me on the same side of the buttocks, and now
even the slightest touch made me flinch. He groaned and rubbed his
cheek against the bed sheets. There seemed to be a little tear in the
corner of my eye.
“Why are you the only one touching me?”

“huh? “You touch it too.”

“You tied me up!”

“sorry…Because you stayed still….”

“Don’t be ridiculous. I’m not sorry.”

“huh….”

“If they keep doing this, they will continue to accuse me of being
fast.”

There was resentment in his voice. It seems like I’ve been teasing
him too much. Yeowoon answered with a small smile.

“I won’t make fun of you today. promise.”

“Then relax your hands. I’m frustrated!”

“You don’t like that?”

Yeo-woon squeezed Ji-gu Yoon’s buttocks with a mean comment.


He took a deep breath and was shocked. Ji-gu Yoon rolled on the
bed to avoid the lingering pain and barely managed to sit up. And
then he whined, trying to free his hands that were tied behind his
back.

“Earth.”

Yeo-woon, who was looking at Yoon Ji-gu with a smile, hinted. By


the time Yun Ji-gu, who had been preoccupied with untying the knot,
looked away, it was already too late.

“I never asked you to sit down….”

“…!”

Yeo-woon pressed Yun Ji-gu’s chest tightly and pushed her away.
Yun Ji-gu, who was lying on his back on the bed without even feeling
the need to sit up, looked up at Yeo-woon with wide eyes. Before
Yun Ji-gu got up again, Yeo-woon sat on top of Yun Ji-gu’s upper
body and slowly loosened his pants.

Yeowoon Lee was sitting on top of me and doing a lower body


striptease! Yun Ji-gu, who was looking at the scene right in front of
him, was frozen in a daze, even holding his breath.

“If you’re going to do whatever you want, why are you sitting in my
room without permission?”

“Hyung too, I always do what I want in my room….”

“Yoon Ji-gu.”
“….”

“You’re blushing again.”

As her finger touched her cheek, Jigu Yoon’s neck moved up and
down significantly. Yeowoon, who was sitting on his chest, was
holding and moving his semi-erect penis.

‘What is this?!’

Yun Ji-gu, who couldn’t believe this situation, opened his lips slightly,
showing a gap. It felt like he was still dreaming. It was not anyone
else, but Yeo-woon Lee who started masturbating while looking
down at my face. The pitch-black eyes were confused and wavered.
My hands were tied and the afterglow wasn’t even touching my
body, but I felt my genitals flutter just by looking at the scene in front
of me.

There was a foul smell right in front of my nose. Ji-gu Yoon looked at
Yeo-woon, who was making a squishy sound and revealing her
desire for him, and mustered up the courage to stick out her tongue.

“what.”

Yeowoon smiled slightly and muttered. The dried liquid that was
flowing down my flesh touched my tongue. It tasted strange. A thin
thread stretched between Yeo-woon’s penis and Yun Ji-gu’s tongue
and then snapped. Yeo-woon, who was looking down at him with a
face reddened by heat, began to gently rub her tongue on Ji-gu
Yun’s tongue.
“good?”

Phew, Yeowoon asked me with a small sigh. I felt a hand gently


stroking my head. I couldn’t answer because my mouth was full of
dick…it was good. Yeo-woon masturbating to me, showing it to me
while sitting on top of me, and putting my dick in my mouth…, More
than anything, I felt uplifted by the thought that the only thing filled
with his eyes was myself. I was so happy that I was the one he was
excited about that I didn’t know what to do.

“Ugh…!”

As the parted lips bit the tip of the glans and murmured, a lingering
feeling made me arch my back. At that moment, Yeowoon
ejaculated first. Yoon Ji-gu tried his best not to ejaculate as the
semen poured onto his face. I didn’t even touch it, because it was
obvious that if I ejaculated while sucking on Yeowoon’s dick, I would
be teased by him for a whole month.

“… Is it Earth?”

I want to put it in. I want to hug Yeowoon and kiss her right now.

“are you okay?”

“yes?”

“What got in my eyes.”

“No, no….”
“…Butt. Does it hurt a lot?”

Yeo-woon, who came to his senses belatedly, wiped his face and
asked. Are you sick? …Oh, it looks like it hurts? Ji-gu Yoon didn’t
miss the opportunity to express Yeo-woon’s concern and grumbled
with his lips sticking out.

“sick.”

“Sorry. At first it was a joke, but without me knowing….”

“… Someone slaps their lover’s butt as a joke.”

“Are you mad?”

Yeowoon furrowed his eyebrows and muttered as if he was sorry.

fury? Why are you angry? I’m a pretty girl anyway, so what does it
matter whether I do what I want or not? Yun Ji-gu thought blankly
and shook his head. I don’t know what to say…. Yeowoon then
whispered, visibly relieved.

“I’m really sorry. You’re so cute when you sleep that I don’t even
know….”

Yun Ji-gu, who had been dazed and unable to come to his senses,
finally muttered softly.

“…yo. this.”
“huh?”

“… It was good.”

He muttered, his cheeks blushing.

“what…?”

Yeowoon’s hand stopped at the completely unexpected words.

“Well, it wasn’t that good before. I liked it when my brother touched


me.”

“uh?”

“Now, getting hit is just normal, but it’s okay for my brother to stroke
me with warm hands afterward, so, I think that’s why I really liked it.
…But why only hit one side? On the other side…?”

“What…?”

“… It tickles.”

Crazy, what are you talking about? You want me to spank the other
butt?

“Actually, I kept thinking that while I was sucking your dick. Is that
weird?”
Why are you so embarrassed? Yeowoon was so shocked that he
was speechless.

“oh my god! I guess I’m really talented….”

“….”

It was such an absurd thing to say while being so embarrassed that


I couldn’t even make eye contact. Yun Ji-gu looked up at Yeo-woon
and said in a very excited voice, probably feeling proud that he had
endured that time so well.

“brother. What else do you want to do other than this?”

“uh?”

“I told you I could guess everything. Now, don’t hide your true face.”

“copy…what?”

“Well, I don’t think it’s bad either. I told you this before, right? “I can
do this for my brother.”

“Uh….”

“Before that…You can use the stick after you get more used to it. It
was really painful, so I took it once or three times and then took it
out when I got used to it. You understand what I’m saying, right?”
“A club? …Ah, that rice spatula…?”

Yeowoon muttered as he thought of the paddle that was sitting in his


drawer, collecting dust.

“Earth…You want to be hit by me three more times…?”

“brother! What should I do for you on your birthday? He asked me to


give it to him as a gift. yes?”

“No, actually. I’m all kidding….”

“uniform? “Would you like me to wear a school uniform?”

“You’re kidding….”

“If I go to my parents’ house, I’ll still have all my school uniforms,


right?”

“Deh… ….”

“I haven’t worn it much, so it’s almost new. Shall I bring that? Or you
can wear it.”

“Hey, what are you talking about? “Why am I wearing that?”

“But it’s my birthday, so I don’t have to do something I haven’t done


before. I’ve seen being tied up, and I’ve been hit before… Wow!”
Yeo-woon covered the mouth of Ji-gu Yoon, who kept talking
nonsense. Yun Ji-gu, who had been wide-eyed as he began to insert
his tongue, became soft, opened his mouth, and tilted his head. How
much did they covet each other like that? While Yeowoon was
sucking on Jigu Yoon’s lips, something that shouldn’t have touched
the back of Yeowoon’s head.

“…!”

Yeo-woon, startled by the hand naturally covering her head, pushed


Ji-gu Yoon away forcefully and asked.

“… What are your hands?”

“why?”

“….”

I had never released the hands that were tied behind my back, but
Yun Ji-gu was playing with them so naturally. Only then did I
discover that the tie was torn in half and was no longer usable. Yun
Ji-gu, who had torn off all the strings that had tightly tied his hands,
blushed and hugged Yeo-woon. The fully erect penis poked Yeo-
woon’s bottom.

“It’s the Earth.”

…Is it because I left it for a while that it feels bigger than usual?

“…!”
Yeo-woon tilted his head back as he felt the genitals being deeply
inserted into the narrow bottom. The sound of flesh meeting flesh
filled the room. Yun Ji-gu could not hold back the pleasure and
kissed all over my face with my ears turning bright red.

“Brother, you can really look forward to your birthday….”

‘crazy.’

For the first time in his life, Yeowoon was afraid of his birthday.

***

‘what. Did you mean to take revenge not on me, but on Zero or him?
why?’

Last night, Yeowoon asked in an absurd voice. Ji-gu Yoon revealed


some facts that he had been hiding because he was too
embarrassed to talk about them. A user named Zero keeps following
him around and telling him that he is mine, and when he enters the
village, he binds him and makes it difficult to progress through the
game. It must have been difficult for Yeo-woon to hear that, so he
took my side and patted my butt.

Ji-gu Yoon decided to forever hide the fact that the main reason he
decided to seek revenge was because of the word ‘slow’. That’s
because I thought it was a very childish and petty reason.

‘But why were you in such a hurry to level up?’

‘I’m going to the military soon, so I have to get it done before then.’

‘If I just leave it like that, I’m sure I’ll feel sad when I enter the
training camp, right?’

is it? Yun Ji-gu felt a little relieved at those words.

‘Well, it’s still different from handling it with my own hands.’

‘He’s at max level and you’re level 100.’

‘are you okay. Level difference damage correction is applied starting


from level 100.’

The PVP damage correction information according to the level


difference in Little Forest listed on the public website was as follows.

When battling between players in the areas below, damage is


corrected by a certain amount depending on the level difference.

[Corrected area] Applicable only to the following maps.

>Adventure Forest (Expand)


>Growling tree (expand)

>Temple of Tenon (Expand)

>Lady’s Chess Piece (Expand)

[Level difference] Applies from at least level 100.

Damage increases in proportion to the level difference with the battle


opponent, and basic stats are also corrected. Of course, there are
differences in equipment and skill damage needs to be taken into
consideration, but it was impossible to not reach level 100 and have
to postpone revenge for over a year.

However, I was worried about what to do because I thought I would


lose if I went one-on-one, and Yeo-woon suggested a solution.

***

Kang!

<Zero>: ㅇ_ㅇ?
When Yoon Ji-gu hit Zero’s head with a honey chestnut strike, Zero’s
HP was reduced by 1 and he looked back.

Sure enough, Zero started running after Yoon Ji-gu without even
telling him to follow. Ji-gu Yoon occasionally looked back and opened
a freedom portal in the middle of the village. As I stretched out my
hand into the air, a circular portal appeared in front of me, barely big
enough for one person to pass through.

As soon as the Earth Star passed through it, Zero also rushed in just
in the nick of time, and as soon as the condition for canceling the
summoning, ‘two or more people pass through’, was met, the portal
disappeared from the village along with the two people.

‘You have entered Forest of Patience Ⅱ (Arena).’

‘Monsters from existing maps do not appear in the arena map.’

‘It is impossible to use fighting healing potions.’

‘The cooldown of regular recovery potions is doubled.’

‘Blue-collar characters’ HP does not decrease when attacked.’

‘Player resurrection option has been disabled.’

‘Battle time: 1 minute’


‘Victory Condition: The player who survives until the end of the battle
wins.’

‘If all players survive until the end of the battle, it is considered a
draw.’

As soon as I entered the map, the fighting map conditions set by the
player went up all at once. However, Zero accepted entry into the
fighting map without reading any of the conditions. To him, Earth
Star was still just a level 2 newbie, and he thought that no matter
how much he grew in size, he would not be able to deal with the old
man. At that moment, a graduate student waiting above rushed
forward with a shield.

‘Rush of victory’

He cut Zero’s HP by half and put him into a temporary state of


unconsciousness.

‘If the longer it goes on, the more likely you are to lose, don’t give
them a chance to attack and finish it off in one turn.’

‘…!’

For an opinion suggested by Lee Yeo-woon, who knew nothing, it


was quite useful. It was also the most suitable tactic for Yun Ji-gu,
who had poured everything into his speed and speed so far.
Yeowoon introduced a person who would cover the level difference,
and the graduate student he introduced to me gave me the first skill
and fell behind.
<Zero>: Ugh.

While Zero’s eyes were spinning, Earth Star, which had been waiting
in advance, poured out all the skills it had prepared. Even when the
stun was released, Zero was unable to come to his senses due to
the continuous barrage of linked skills and died less than 30 seconds
later.

Skills were pouring in at a speed I had never seen before, and my


HP was all reduced without any time to dodge or do anything about
it. As planned, the graduate student committed suicide using the
self-destruct skill, and in the end, the last surviving user in the map
was Earthstar, so Earthstar won the game.

‘It’s Zero’s defeat. Arena Points – 80 points

‘Your dream is the defeat of a graduate student. Arena Points – 20


points

‘The final winner, ㅈi9 Star. ‘Arena points +100 points’

When the battle ended in an instant, the three players moved to the
Tree Continent, the map where the Forest of Patience belongs.

<Direct Deal Killer>: Potato soup…. Direct transaction, immediate


purchase possible

<Sunflower>: 50 pieces of fried monkfish!!

<asdfasdf>: Yes
At the save point in the middle of the village, Yeo-woon was setting
up a stand and selling food, ‘Give me the ingredients and I’ll
combine them.’ Zero, who had remained dumbfounded even right
after the battle, finally jumped up and asked Earth Star.

<Zero>: Newbie, what did you do?

<ㅈi9Star>: Well haha

‘Slayer <Zero> has bound you.’

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Hahahahaha I know


because I heard it haha

<Zero>: If you don’t know, I’ll kiss you ㅇ3ㅇ

Fuck, again. Yun Ji-gu crouched down with a look of arrogance on


his face.

<ㅈi9Byeol>: Please save my brother.

<asdfasdf>: ^^ Enjoy the pie~

Yeo-Woon approached the Earth Star that was tightly tied to Zero
and handed Zero a pie item using the chef job’s special skill, ‘Food
Thrust’. Zero thoughtlessly tried to use items to fill up his little
remaining stamina. It was then.
‘Zero has passed away. Cause of death: Poison. Place of death: No.
1, Tree Village

<Zero>: ????

‘asdfasdf’s Arena Points +10’

Nearby players gathered around Zero, who suddenly died on a


peaceful street, and made a fuss. And Yeowoon became the first
production user to earn arena points this season.

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: No hahahahahahaha

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Hahahahahahaha

<Zero>: Oh no~

<Zero>: Zero’s ranking dropped drastically.

<Zero>: I’m going to the military next week, but the rankings are
terrible.

<Zero>: Really, when will this all be restored!! Damn it!!!!ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: ㅅㄱ

<Sunflower>: ㅅㄱ
Zero, who was brought back to life using the resurrection stone,
started rolling on the floor and making a fuss, demanding that the
points be returned. It is said that because he died from the
production worker, his points were reduced much more than when
he died from the Earth Star.

<Your Dream Is a Graduate Student>: I never knew you could put


poison in food haha.

<asdfasdf>: I don’t need to add the original LAN, but there is a


function that does not remove debuffs~

Little Forest is my first game with production jobs, so this is also


interesting, but I didn’t know there was a function to add poison
debuffs to food.

“But the revenge is already over, so why… ?”

Jigu Yoon tilted his head and asked.

<ㅈi9Star>: Did he poison the food??

<asdfasdf>: Hung

<ㅈi9Star>: Why?

<asdfasdf>: He said he wanted to kiss youㅠㅠ

<asdfasdf>: You are mineㅠㅠ


“…!”

<Zero>: That’s right, murder.

<ㅈi9Star>: Ugh.

<ㅈi9star>: ㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏㅏ

Ji-gu Yoon screamed and forced the game to end. Even in the
village where he disappeared, players still stayed and talked.

<asdfasdf>: Hahahahahahahaha he’s doing that again

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: ㅋㅁㄴㅇㄹ

<Your Dream is a Graduate Student>: Do you actually know


Newbie?

<asdfasdf>: He’s really cute

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Really?

<asdfasdf>: Hahahahahahahaha

<asdfasdf>: Whenever I’m embarrassed, I leave like that.

<asdfasdf>: It’s really funny….


<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Are you saying you left
because you were embarrassed?

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: ㅅㅂㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

<Zero>: Wow, the newbie didn’t even know what he did and left.

<Zero>: And I wanted to be a sous chef/kid killed me ㅜㅜ

<Zero>: What is Zero’s ranking? ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Are you real friends with


a newbie?

<Your Dream Is a Graduate Student>: I think this is the first time I


see someone that the sous chef hangs out with regularly, right?

<asdfasdf>: lover

<Your Dream is a Graduate Student>: Oh my goodness!!!

<Your Dream is a Graduate Student>: If I find a lover, we should


repost together!!

<Zero>: Haha haha I can’t bring you here in my life ㅇ.ㅇ!! lol

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Haha damn no


<Your dream is a graduate student>: I hope you get called by the
country quickly and disappear from my presence~^^

<Zero>: Anyway, I’ll be leaving soon, so don’t talk about military


affairsㅡㅡ;

<Zero>: If Zero finds a lover, we should repost together! ㅇ.ㅇㅋㅋ

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: In the military? Haha

<Zero>: How are you going to find a lover there?

<Your dream is to become a graduate student>: Haha, it can


happen if you pick up soap.

<Sunflower>: It’s okay at first, but after some time, ask a private you
like to pick it up for you.

<Zero>: Did you really go away?

<Zero>: Let’s do it….ㅡㅅㅡ Zero, it’s so scary when you get angry?!

<Sunflower>: The sergeant is quite angry.

<Zero>: ㅅㅂ

<Your dream is to be a graduate student>: Ah, ㅁl chin


<Your dream is to be a graduate student>:
Hahahahahahahahahahaha

<Zero>: Heh;; I honestly felt like shit just now.

<Oriharkon>: Why is it like that hahahahahaha

<asdfasdf>: Hahahahahahahahahaha

The topic of conversation shifted to Zero’s military enlistment. It


seems that the national call coming next week was a bigger blow
than losing a game to Yoon Ji-gu. Yeo-woon, who had completed his
revenge, followed Yoon Ji-gu and logged out of the game with a
relieved heart.

***

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: So there, Newta

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: I gave him poisoned food and killed him>_<

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahahahaha


Ji-gu Yoon was explaining Yeo-woon’s heroic story in a grandiose
way, as if he was impressed by the subject who left the game after
screaming at Yeo-woon’s ‘You’re mine’ remark, and killing Zero once
again with poisoned food.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Wow, getting a kill using an expedient


method is truly Newta-like haha.

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: When you wake up, you die first.

[Guild] neutaaaa: ? Do you have any proof? ^^

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: There’s a lot of shit?

[Guild] neutaaaa: Ah haha yes^^

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Getting quite shameless….

[Guild] Pea Wanda: But are there any food items with poison
damage?

[Guild] Cat Cat Cat Cat: ㄱㄴㄲㅇ

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: I think this is my first time hearing
something like that.
[Server] Sunset: Why are you chewing my ear? sㅇㅅ”ㅇz!!!

[Guild] Cat Cat Cat Cat: ㅇㄴ

[Guild] Cat Meow Cat: I’ll take care of it and come back ㅡㅡ

Of course it’s the first time you’ve heard it. Because it’s not an
illusion. Jigu Yoon snorted.

[Guild] neutaaaa: It’s about lipo haha.

[Guild] neutaaaa: The chef there makes food items by adding


desired additional effects to them.

[Guild] Halloween Branch: What?

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ?

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Lipo?

[Guild] Halloween Branch: What did you two do there…?

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hahahahaha

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Well, I went on a date with you><

[Guild] neutaaaa: Hahahahahahahahaha


Yeo Woon was currently wearing a matching couple look with Yoon
Ji Gu for the first time in a while. He specifically promised not to
wear a cloak for one day. Yeo-woon wore white rabbit ears to match
her rugged pet, and Yoon Ji-gu wore black cat ears to match her
ghost cat. Both characters were wearing different colored suits and
shorts, but it looked much better with the hats in black and white.

In less than a week, the lipo refugees seemed to be tired of the


‘Tenon look’ and went back to the original, crappy cloak. There were
often merchants who bought up all the philosopher’s clothes on the
server in hopes of getting a quick price, but they ended up shedding
tears of blood as they just became people who worked hard to buy
clothes that no one would pay for.

‘Captain Poseidon used the gathering of all forces. If you accept,


you will be taken to the guild room.’

“What, again?”

Due to the guild master’s abuse of power, most of the guild


members gathered in the guild room. Captain Poseidon created a
burning ground with his authority and placed Lee Yeo-woon and Yun
Ji-gu in the middle. The two were tied to a stick and looked down at
the guild members surrounding the fire pit.

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: What the fuck is this? Hahahahaha

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Hahahahahahahaha


[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Tsk tsk

[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: #couple burning #love star #dategram #couple
look #bonfire #mood

Guild members started a campfire surrounding the couple being


burned at the stake. Wandu Wandya and Park Hwi Bugae danced to
the background music of the guild room, and Kitty Nyang Na Nyang
clapped. At the same time, the guild master demoted the two
people.

‘Ji9 Star has been demoted to a regular guild member.’

‘neutaaaa has been demoted to regular guild member.’

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Ah;

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Tell me about the burning.

[Guild] neutaaaa: This is my first time experiencing it and it feels


warm~ haha

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Is this updated this time?


Hahahahahaha

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: Yes, it’s in the guild update contents^^

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Use the new function well, our Gilma.
[Guild] Captain Poseidon: The crime is

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: ‘It is a crime of sparing less illusions’….(ㅠ


[Guild] ㅈi9Star: Oh, you came here every day!!!

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: You didn’t come in yesterday

[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: I’m not qualified to be a guild master, so I’ll give up
my seat.

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: Qualifications are decided at an internal


meeting within the guild…?

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: But you always do those internal meetings alone;;

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: I cautiously agree!

[Guild] neutaaaa: 222….

Yeo-woon and Yoon Ji-gu always went up and down in guild position.
Even though the position system is a system where you increase
your level based on your contribution within the guild, Poseidon had
the guild master and assistant guild master change their positions
arbitrarily. A month ago, Lee Yeo-woon also held the position of an
honorary guild member, two levels higher than an ordinary guild
member, but after repeatedly going up and down like this, he no
longer felt awkward no matter where he was and felt like he had
given up.
Now, in fact, the only people who cared about their positions within
the guild were Nyangnyangnyangnyang and Yoon Ji-gu himself.

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Whenever I change positions, I always


tell people to do it, so I lose. It’s really stupid;;

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: I cannot agree with the opinion that it is a


dictatorship.

[Guild] Captain Poseidon: If you are dissatisfied with what I said,


could you raise your hand?

Every single guild member gathered in the guild room raised their
hands. The scene where the hand came up from the end as if riding
a wave was quite spectacular.

‘Nyankyangnyangnyangnyang has been demoted to elite guild


member.’

‘Wandu Wandya has been demoted to a regular guild member.’

‘al0ha has been demoted to regular guild member.’

[Guild] Poseidon Captain: A new rule has been established that if


you raise your hand in the guild room, your guild position will be
lowered for a day. ^^ Everyone, please read the notice and follow it~
[Guild] Cat Cat Cat Cat: ㅡㅡ

[Guild] ㅈi9Star: I’m feeling a bit relieved now that we’re all together
>_<

[Guild] Park Hwibugae:


Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah
ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] Park Hwibug: I’ve been curious about something for a while.

[Guild] Park Hwibugae: Why does the guild rule say >When boiling
ramen, add water first<?

[Guild] Halloween Eggplant: Someone told me to put the ingredients


first, so we probably fought before haha.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Was it Aloha at that time?

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: Add noodles before the water boils.

[Guild] Wandu Wanda: He said he was called a little, but his position
was lowered with everyone’s agreement.

[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Why are you like that?

[Guild] al0ha: Please get used to it ㅜㅜ


[Guild] Kidney Rat: Hahahahahahahahahaha

[Guild] al0ha: Every time something happens, a rule is added…


That’s no longer a notice, it’s an illusion diary;;

[Guild] Wandu Wandya: ㄹㅇ I’m getting a lot of Tripitaka Koreana


with useless content haha.

‘The couple look is cute.’

Whether his guild position was lowered or he was burned at the


stake, the fact that even this moment was accompanied by a
lingering feeling satisfied Yun Ji-gu. Looking at it now, the bright red
flames and the black-and-white suit seem to match surprisingly well,
so Ji-gu Yoon pressed the screenshot button and saved this scene
in his memory.
#Side Story 2.
Misunderstandings Grow Like A Snowball

“Ring?”

Yeowoon placed both hands in front of his chest to look as earnest


as possible and nodded his head enthusiastically. The store owner
asked the other employees if they had seen anything that looked like
a ring, then shook his head and approached Yeo-woon.

“What should I do? “I heard you never saw anything like a ring while
cleaning?”

“Oh yeah…?”

“Ugh, why are you making such a pitiful expression that hurts my
heart? “Is it such a precious ring?”

“yes. It’s a coupling ring.”

“Oh my, I need to find it quickly. Still, I’ll at least write down the
bachelor’s contact information, just in case. I’ll contact you if I find it
while cleaning somewhere else.”

“Thank you, boss. Where can I write this down?”


“Wait a minute, where is the note?”

Yeowoon wrote down his phone number and name on the note the
president gave him and then roughly sketched out what the ring
would look like.

“What is this here?”

“My ring.”

“…this?”

“Yes, just looking at it, it’s a ring….”

“…Eh?”

No matter how you looked at it, it looked like a picture of a


caterpillar, but the store owner cleared his throat as if he didn’t know
how he could claim it was a ring. Yeowoon left the store, nodding to
each and every employee.

“Where the hell is he?”

Wasting a golden weekend like this…. This was already my 10th


empty stomach. Even though I walked for two days looking at the
ground to see if I had spilled it on the side of the road, as well as
going to a restaurant or bar I recently visited, the lost couple ring did
not come back.
Recently, Yeowoon’s company was having its busiest days of the
year. At the end of the year, I went to company dinners and worked
overtime almost every day, and when I came to my senses, this was
what happened.

Yeowoon muttered, scratching his reddened skin, stimulated by the


finish of his new shirt.

“Anyway, alcohol is the problem.”

The last time I saw the ring was on a Friday afternoon. After a group
dinner on Friday, I returned home, went to sleep, and woke up to
find that my coupling ring was gone. He told Ji-gu Yoon that he was
going to work on the weekend in a hurry, and went through all the
routes he had taken the day before, asking about the whereabouts
of the ring, and even went so far as to search his place after
returning to work. I wasted all of Saturday and Sunday like that, so
the weekend was already gone.

Yeowoon never took off his ring except when taking a shower or
washing his hands. Where on earth did it come out?

“If the Earth found out, there would be an uproar….”

I don’t know how much Ji-gu Yoon nagged me because I forgot to


put my ring on when I was coming out of the shower last time at
home. I knew how much he valued his coupling ring, so I couldn’t
even bring up the story about him losing it. I think I’ll be sad for at
least a week….

Yeo-woon finally resorted to the last resort.


Seonyong

? Why is my sister’s contact information haha?

Seonyong

I got it a few months ago. Post it above or search for it.

bothered

Seonyong

ㅡㅡ;;

The idea was to contact the place where the couple ring was fitted
and ask if they could make another ring with the same design. I
don’t know how long it will take for the ring to come out, but I
thought it might be possible to hide it to some extent if the
production period wasn’t that long.

Anyway, I’m busy these days, and the number of times I meet Ji-gu
Yoon has decreased significantly. I didn’t even sign up for the
swimming pool because I felt like I wouldn’t be able to go out a few
times this month. His day these days consists of just going back and
forth between home and work.

Seonyong

Sky (See contact details)


Why is the save name like that? Did you change your name?

Seonyong

What a rename

Seonyong

I don’t know, but recently I changed it and saved it, saying that I
would know my sister like heaven.

Seonyong

I feel like I’m crazy

…I have to tell you everything I said. Since Ha Seon-yong was born,


he had never once beaten his older sister, but it was his daily routine
to be upset and get beaten like that every time. Seeing that my
friend had no learning ability at all, it seemed like he was not a
higher being.

Seonyong

But why suddenly?

Seonyong

Are you interested in your sister now?


It’s not like that. It’s because of the ring.

Seonyong

Should I give my sister a ring?

Seonyong

Why suddenly?

Seonyong

No, wait a minute, you asked for my sister’s number a few months
ago too.

Seonyong

So the ring has already been matched?

Seonyong

Oh wow

Seonyong

Don’t talk too loudly with that guy next door


Seonyong

You crazy bastard, since when?

“It’s a ghost….”

I didn’t even reply, but the process of quickly guessing in the right
direction was scary enough. In any case, he seemed like a sad guy,
even though he was quick to notice. Even though he didn’t say a
word, he made wild inferences on his own and immediately figured
out that the person he matched with was Jigu Yoon, who lived next
door to me.

He even let me know that it was clear that Yun Ji-gu liked him. I
couldn’t believe it at the time, but now that I think back on those
words, I get goosebumps.

I’m busy, stop sending messages

Seonyong

uh

Seonyong

It’s really simple….

Seonyong
you are a really true friend

yep

Seonyong

So you’re gay? LOL

“….”

If you look at it that way, that’s how it happened. Since I became a


lover with a man, Yoon Ji-gu, I wondered if this wasn’t gay or
something. But for some reason, I couldn’t say that to my old friend,
so I just looked at my phone with a sad face.

Seonyong

They said it wasn’t like that haha.

Seonyong

This is what happens in the end

“Is this really a shaman…? .”

How can someone be so tactful? I don’t know how many times this
has happened already.
Seonyong

Hey, buy beef.

why me?

Seonyong

? I was right.

Seonyong

That bastard likes you

Don’t call it that baby

Seonyong

Are you taking sides already?

And the beef

I need to feed my lover

Seonyong

The change in attitude is disgusting.


Seonyong

Oh, just go away, I’m not really curious either.

Seonyong

But even thinking about it again, it’s unfair, right?? I definitely need
to get the beef. Buy it with special A grade and send it to my house.

I will only buy beef for my lover^^

Do you want to date me???????

ㄷㄷㄷ

Seonyong

Hahahahahahahaha it’s so fucking annoying.

I decided to turn it off as per his wish. Yeo-woon left a text message
using the contact information he received from Seon-yong. Is it
possible to re-manufacture only one side of the ring that matches
the coupling? .

It’s been a while since I had a lingering feeling~ If I only have the
design left, it’s possible, but it’ll be difficult within this month~ It won’t
be until after the New Year. I’m so busy because it’s the end of the
year^^;;;

“….”

It was a desperate answer. I wasn’t confident that I wouldn’t find out


that I lost the ring within this month.

Did you lose it?


Yes, I lost it recently.

Well, if you make it again, the position of the engraved letters may
be a little different from the last time. Since it’s inside the ring, most
people won’t notice unless they look for the difference….

***

Did you tell your lover that you lost your coupling ring?
Say…Should I do it?

Not yet

Then don’t try to guess secretly and just tell me. If someone cancels
the reservation and the schedule is empty, it may be possible within
this year. If that happens, I will contact you first. If you find the ring
before that, be sure to tell me.

Yes, you can find it. You may miraculously find the lost ring at the
store and call me at my number, or you may belatedly find the ring
you left at home. Yeo-woon decided not to tell Ji-gu Yoon that he lost
his coupling ring. I had no idea what kind of results that carefree
thinking would bring.

Just like that, Yeowoon rolled a small snowball.


***

Yeo-woon Lee is strange. Ji-gu Yoon couldn’t help but think that his
attitude had suddenly changed these days.

Lee Yeowoon hyung♥

It’s Earth

Lee Yeowoon hyung♥

You will have to eat alone tonight.

Again?

Lee Yeowoon hyung♥

Oh, sorry. I’m suddenly busy again.

“….”

why? Why have you suddenly become busy? Who made a mistake?
That’s not you, right? But didn’t you say that all that busy work was
finished last week? Why do you keep changing your words? Is that
guy named Assistant Manager Kim still meddling in your brother’s
business? Why do you do that when you’re all old and worn out? But
why are you working overtime so often these days? I don’t know
about weekdays, but weekends are all my time, so why are you
giving it up to the company without even telling me? That’s mine.

Lee Yeowoon hyung♥

Still, if you have a hard time today, you don’t have to go to work this
weekend!

Weekends are normally a day off, but Lee Yeo-woon seemed to


have forgotten that fact because she was so busy with work.

Lee Yeowoon hyung♥

It ends later

Lee Yeowoon hyung♥

I’ll contact you if it’s not too late.

lie.

Why don’t you contact me when you come home? Actually, I don’t
mind if you contact me at any time in the morning. But my brother
doesn’t think that’s the case and I’m a little annoyed. Did I tell you? If
you’re being considerate like that, you’re not being considerate of
me, so I don’t have to. It’s more rude not to be able to contact you,
at least to me.
“…ha.”

There were a lot of things I wanted to say, but if I poured them all
out to someone who was already busy, he might feel tired and get
tired of me. Yeo-woon was getting tired of me, and I hated that more
than dying. Ji-gu Yoon held back the words that threatened to come
out of his mouth at any moment and told Yeo-woon what she
wanted.

Yes haha

Fighting, hyung>_<♥♥

(emoticon)

Lee Yeowoon hyung♥

ㄱㅅㄱㅅ

Lee Yeowoon hyung♥

Enjoy your lunch too

Even though her speaking style was no different from usual, Yoon Ji-
gu’s heart was heavy these days. If the lingering feeling of spending
half a day at work takes your mind off things, it will be instantaneous
for this relationship to break down.
As soon as I assumed the worst case scenario, which I didn’t even
want to imagine, I felt like my heart was dropping at my feet. Yun Ji-
gu hurriedly raised his hand and clutched it to his chest. Not that it
was true, just thinking about it made my heart throbbing like it was
being torn apart.

A cold wind blew through the wide open window, signaling the
beginning of winter. Jigu Yoon sighed, clutching the blanket over his
shoulders. Before I met Yeowoon, I had never thought about this or
felt the need to do so. He was finally realizing what loneliness felt
like.

“Miss, I have a lover, why are you like this?”

You’ll really regret neglecting me like this. Why do I do something I


regret? …I guess I regret it. He grumbled to himself and then fell
limp and sprawled out on the sofa. This is all because of the cold
wind. I hate winter. If you close the window that was left open for
ventilation, the wind will not blow and you will not have to think about
such useless things. therefore…I need to close the window first….

“Yoon posong. You pay for your meal too. Hey, close the window
and wash the dishes.”

Wow!

“I’m sorry.”

what.
“You’re quick to forgive.”

Even though I tried to get up, my body didn’t listen. I felt helpless
and didn’t want to do anything. I’ve been digging alone while I’ve
been awake for the past few days, and now even walking is getting
tiresome. Loneliness was such a dangerous feeling. Yeo-woon
taught me a lot of emotions, even though I knew nothing about
them, but I wondered if I really needed to know these emotions.

I knew myself that I was worrying a lot unnecessarily. But this is an


innate nature. It means that just because you want to fix it doesn’t
mean it will be fixed.

…And you know that I have this kind of personality. If you know that.
If you think I’m weird…. You should realize it quickly and run to hug
me. Then, I think these feelings will quickly wash away like melting
snow.

I really won’t be angry. All you have to do is come to me.

“…cold.”

I couldn’t understand why I should feel lonely when there were


people who would cling to me and share warmth in the cold winter.

The days gradually became colder and it was already December.


Perhaps because it was the end of the year, everyone was having
busy days in one way or another.

It seems that Yeowoon has had a change of heart.


***

It was a few days ago that Ji-gu Yoon started to feel something
strange about Yeo-woon.

“Brother, why aren’t you coming?”

-uh? Didn’t I tell you yesterday? Dinner today.

“also? “A company dinner starting Monday?”

-I know. I must be crazy.

I thought it was because Yeo-woon got busy at work. However, there


was a problem with losing what little evening time we had together to
the company. There were too many elements in his daily life that
bothered Ji-gu Yoon, including working overtime every day and going
to company dinners.

“What happens if I don’t go to the dinner party?”

-…huh? It’s delicious here. Let’s come together next time.

“next time?”
-Okay, next time.

“When is next?”

-Any time. where are you now?

“Mom’s cafe. I stopped by right after I went swimming.”

-School. Today is the day you leave, right?

“huh. I took the class.”

-Our Earth is sincere.

My face heated up because of the faint laughter in my voice. Just by


hearing his voice, it was as if his face was pictured before my eyes.

“But bro, do you come home before eleven? “Then I won’t go home
and I’ll wait here.”

-No, go in first. I’ll call you later when I’m finished. love you.

“…Me too.”

With just one word of love, my small complaints disappeared like


snow. However, there was no communication from Yeo-woon until
midnight that day.
***

Beep, beep, beep.

“what?”

Yun Ji-gu, who had been sitting in front of the computer with the
door open, looked up at the sound of the door lock being pressed
intermittently. Soon, a warning sound was heard saying the
password was incorrect, and someone was trying to break in again
by entering the password.

Ji-gu Yoon entered the number 112 on his cell phone and walked up
to the intercom. Soon the cell phone in his hand fell to the floor.

“brother?”

He walked to the front door and hurriedly opened it without even


having time to pick up his phone. The sound of the lock turning and
clicking was clear. The cold and alcohol smell makes you feel scared
when you open the door. Ji-gu Yoon supported Yeo-woon, who fell
into his arms as if pouring down on her.

“Well, what is it? “Brother, why are you like this?”


“who are you?”

“yes?”

“Who are you in my house?”

Yeowoon asked with a puzzled look. His eyes were half-closed, like a
sleepy person. He raised his hand and traced various parts of Yun
Ji-gu’s body as if examining it. Then, as if he recognized him, he
raised his cheeks, which were flushed from the alcohol, and smiled
broadly.

“Earth.”

“Ah, the smell of alcohol….”

“Did you wait for me?”

“Now what? funny. I asked you who you were earlier.”

He was so drunk that he mistook this for his house and couldn’t
even recognize his own face at first. Lee Yeo-woon was not a
person who was weak against alcohol. Unlike myself, whose neck
turned bright red after a couple of glasses of mixed liquor and the
world was spinning, the lingering feeling was as good as a person
who drank only water, no matter how much I drank. I’m not sure as
I’ve never done a masterpiece until the end, but I estimate that he
drinks at least three bottles.

“why… Did you drink this much?”


“Yes.”

He raised his hand and gently stroked Yun Ji-gu’s hair. When the
touch tickled me and I squinted, Lee Yeo-woon chuckled and buried
her face in my shoulder, lightly rubbing her cheek.

“I said I would contact you after the dinner party.”

“huh.”

“Why do you keep saying yes?”

There was a hint of laughter in Yeowoon’s voice. How can I feel so


good when I’m so drunk that I can’t even go to my own home? His
drinking habit seemed to be laughing and talking nonsense.

“Let’s go in first.”

Yun Ji-gu almost hugged the lingering drunken spirit and brought
him into the house. While making him sit on the shoe shelf and
forcing him to take off his shoes, Yeo-woon was massaging Yun Ji-
gu’s cheek and muttering to himself. It’s so rare that it’s my first time
seeing it. Yeowoon asked, hugging the back of his neck, his cheeks
flushed and his mood relaxed.

“But why are you at my house?”

“… This is our house.”


“my house? …Let’s live together…?”

“What, what can I say, really! No, it’s really our house! “My house!”

“okay okay. I’ll think about it.”

“What did you know, again? “I really can’t speak.”

It’s not like he didn’t know that it was just a drunk man’s nonsense,
but Ji-gu Yoon, who had finished imagining living together with him at
lightning speed with just one word from him, turned his head with an
even redder face. Yeo-woon’s body temperature was much warmer
than his usual when he was drunk. I just sighed when I thought that
he must have been walking the streets like this all the way from the
dinner party to here. To Yoon Ji-gu, it seemed like everyone in the
world except him was looking for Yeo-woon. Having an affable and
pretty lover was also a sin.

“The battery is dead.”

Yeo-woon Lee was dozing off. When I saw that the screen of the cell
phone he held so dearly in his hand was black, I felt relieved that it
was not that he didn’t contact me, but that I couldn’t. Ji-gu Yoon took
the cell phone from Yeo-woon’s hand and roughly threw it on the
living room sofa, then picked up Yeo-woon and moved to the
bedroom. As I laid him down on my bed, I felt nervous for no
reason. I felt like my blood was rushing downward as I looked like
this, soaked in alcohol and neat and unbuttoned.

“Nothing else. Because it’s uncomfortable when I sleep.”


After explaining himself, Ji-gu Yoon tried to think of other things as
much as possible and placed his hand on the back of Yeo-woon’s
neck, who was sleeping like an angel with her head resting on the
pillow. Knock, knock. Every time I unbuttoned the buttons one by
one, my bare skin was exposed as there was nothing underneath
my shirt.

“…?”

What is this? Ji-gu Yoon lowered his head and gently touched Yeo-
woon’s skin. A red mark was visible at the bottom of his neck that
had not been visible until a few days ago. Ji-gu Yoon, who had
stopped taking off his shirt, shifted his gaze. Then I realized that
there was a similar mark on Yeowoon’s right wrist.

I couldn’t figure out why there were marks that I hadn’t seen until
last week. Ji-gu Yoon looked closely at Yeo-woon’s naked upper
body and quickly began to take off his pants.

“evil!”

He roughly threw his gray suit pants on the floor, raised his legs and
looked around to see if there was anything strange in his lower body,
but ended up getting kicked on the forehead by Yeo-woon’s tossing
and turning foot.

“S-it fucking hurts….”

Ji-gu Yoon took off his t-shirt and put it on Yeo-woon, who was
shivering in the cold air, and then covered him with a blanket. Even
while Yeowoon was asleep, he instinctively crawled into the warm
blanket. Yun Ji-gu, who was staring at the scene, took his clothes
and left the room.

“…what’s this.”

In Yeowoon’s pants pocket, a note with a phone number written on a


yellow Post-it note appeared. The handwriting was neat and pretty.
Usually, when you work at a company, they give you a business
card. It meant that someone had written down his phone number,
and Lee Yeo-woon had stored it preciously and secretly in his pants.

My heart sank as a thought passed through my mind for a moment.


no way…. Self-denial that this could not possibly be the case grew
and filled my mind. He kept shaking his head as he hung Yeowoon’s
clothes on the hanger. Suddenly, my breathing became difficult and
my mind started to become confused.

Dinner gatherings have suddenly become more frequent over the


past few days. Contact has become less frequent. Lee Yeo-woon
has marks on her body that you haven’t seen before, and Lee Yeo-
woon is unusually drunk. and…An unfamiliar phone number.

‘no.’

A red signal rang in my head. Ji-gu Yun couldn’t even pick up his t-
shirt and put it on and quickly walked to the living room to connect
Yeo-woon’s cell phone, which had been left on the sofa, to the
charger. He called the cell phone with the screen turned on and
checked what name Yeowoon had saved him under. Even if it wasn’t
called “Honey,” I thought they would have at least added a heart to
the end of my name.
‘No matter what, it’s my lover’s name, but I would have saved it with
my last name.’

However, the phone vibrated and the name that appeared on the
screen was not a name such as honey, honey, or our earth♥, but
only three letters.

‘Yoon Ji-gu’

Even if other people don’t know, shouldn’t you save it with such an
unfriendly name? I didn’t know about it before, but I thought it would
have slowly changed now. My phone was locked with a password,
so I couldn’t change the save name.

It was then.

Is your phone turned off? I think I’ll make some time on the 29th~
“…?”

What is this text? A message arrived late from an unknown number,


and a preview window briefly appeared on the phone screen and
then disappeared repeatedly.

But shouldn’t you tell your lover?

word? What are you saying to me?

I’ll be angry when I find out later.

“… Fuck, who is this?”

My blood got cold and I woke up. There was only one situation that
was predictable. I wanted to wake Lee Yeo-woon right away and ask
her. I don’t know who sent this text message to my brother, why he
didn’t save the number, what he was trying to say to me, and…Why
do I get angry after finding out something?

Ji-gu Yoon looked at Yeo-woon’s phone for a long time and was
anxious, but no matter how long he waited, no other text message
came. One day, something unbelievable happened to me. I lost all
strength in my body.

‘This is a situation that makes me angry, right?’

That night, I had so many thoughts that I couldn’t sleep at all.

***

It’s in Lee Yeowoon’s nature to be friendly. In the past, there was a


time when I mistakenly thought he was rich because he kept giving
me space. However, when he became a lover, he felt ashamed that
he had previously thought that Yeo-woon liked him and stayed by his
side. Because of that, when I think of the outrageous things I said to
Yeo-woon at the time, I want to die. Every time Yoon Ji-gu
remembered something that happened more than a year ago, he
would get embarrassed and hit the pillow.

Yeowoon was still kind to others. However, Yeo-woon’s attitude


towards other people and his attitude towards Yoon Ji-gu were quite
different. It wasn’t difficult to become friends with him, but it was
difficult to become someone he truly cared for and liked. Lee Yeo-un
also has his own line.

Once we became close friends, he became more playful than when


we were vague enough to call him a friend, and he didn’t hesitate to
suddenly hold my hand and often told me that he liked me. From the
day Yeowoon accepted him as her lover, he has never neglected me
even for a moment.

But they say emotions have an expiration date. The beautiful


feelings of truly loving and cherishing something become dull or fade
over time. That’s what it means to get used to it. Something that is
no longer precious. It becomes a hassle to take it out and cuddle it.

In that sense, Yun Ji-gu’s lingering feelings were always new. He


never got used to me. I hoped Yeo-woon would do the same, but
people’s hearts don’t always do what they want.

“Fuck, no matter what, it’s still been a year since we started


dating…!”
Suddenly, a fire-like emotion welled up from inside, and Yoon Ji-gu
closed his mouth, buried his face in his arms, and fell down. It’s
unfair. The more I thought about it, the more I couldn’t organize it,
and the more I felt sad. I hope Yeo-woon loves her as much as she
loves him. I don’t want anything more, so it would be nice if it were
just me.

For Yun Ji-gu, Lee Yeo-woon has become like a habit. If I didn’t see
Yeo-woon in the pool, swimming for an hour wasn’t fun at all, and
when I saw an interesting article, I bookmarked it to show to Yeo-
woon, and Yeo-woon’s things were just lying around in my house.

‘What is that phone number really…?’

I don’t want to doubt him.

‘Why did you say I would be angry when I found out?’

No matter how much I think about it, ‘that situation’ is the only thing
that comes to mind. Lee Yeo-woon’s…wind.

Of course, I already know that Yeo-woon is not the kind of person


who would do that. However, he cannot trust the little flies buzzing
around him. Seeing as the number wasn’t saved, it could have been
a text message that arrived in error, or it could have been a crazy
person unilaterally hitting on Yeo Woon. I hope so.

I wanted to go see him in person and ask him, but it was also true
that I hesitated. It’s unlikely, but if he even tells me to break up.
What if we ask for some distance for a moment? If you think it’s
creepy to search your own pockets…. Then I really had no idea
what to do.

Yun Ji-gu, who had been dazed all day, opened the front door to get
some fresh air. Just then, the elevator arrived at the 9th floor, and
when Yun Ji-gu looked up and thought the timing was good, he ran
into Yeo-woon head-on.

“…!”

As soon as Yeowoon looked up and saw him, he was startled and


took a step back. If it were him normally, he would say, ‘We all meet
in places like this.’ He would have smiled casually. But today’s
lingering feeling was a little different. It feels like something is
stabbing me. Does he look like that because he thinks the lingering
feeling is strange all day long?

‘no.’

He even slightly avoided my eyes as if he was embarrassed. It’s not


an illusion. This is definitely something strange.

“brother.”

“Oh, yes. It’s Earth.”

“Aren’t you going to ask me where I’m going?”

“…Where?”
Even this conversation felt unnatural. Instead of getting into the
elevator that had just arrived, Ji-gu Yoon grabbed Yeo-woon’s hand
and pulled her out. A messenger window was floating on the phone
in his hand. As soon as he felt his gaze, he quietly hid his hands
behind his back.

“Who should I contact?”

“friend.”

“Who is your friend?”

“…Seonyong.”

It was a name I had heard from Yeowoon before. When I heard it, it
seemed like it was one of the men he thought was his slave. When I
saw Yeo-Woon staring at me with his back in plain sight, I felt like
my stomach was turning.

I know that Yeowoon has nothing to do with that friend. He was not
someone shameless and shameless enough to cheat on me. If I
meet someone else, I have the personality to meet them only after I
clean up myself.

“brother.”

“huh?”

But why am I so nervous today? please…Like someone hiding


something.
“Did you have a good morning?”

“Oh, you were sleeping so I didn’t wake you up.”

“What happened yesterday? “Do you remember?”

“Roughly. Thank you for letting me sleep. I was being too truthful,
wasn’t I?”

“… Why are you so busy these days?”

“It’s the end of the year.”

“So you were so busy that you couldn’t even call me today?”

“….”

“I was in contact with that friend casually. Is it difficult for you to tell
me that you are going home now?”

My throat got tighter and tighter. Should I just ask? What is that
phone number? What happened to the red marks left on my body
yesterday? What happened to the text message that arrived early in
the morning? I wonder if you have something to say to me. This
morning…. Why did you run away and go to work without even
kissing me? He drank like that yesterday and went to work again.
Are you sure he went to work?

“….”
“….”

Yeo-woon’s eyes shook when he met her. Anxiety piled up and


tightly closed my chest. I felt like I shouldn’t say anything. I didn’t
want to face the worst situation by scratching and making a mess. I
felt like crying just thinking about it, so I clenched my fists and
muttered.

“Am I too obsessed with my brother? Do you contact me too often


without even realizing it? ?”

“Oh, no. What is obsession! just…I’m sorry,”

“What.”

“I wanted to ask Seonyong something. And to you….”

“….”

“…No, it’s Earth. I will be contacting you regularly in the future. I


didn’t say anything because I thought it would go in soon. I’m sorry
for bothering you.”

If I’m not mistaken, I think Yeo-woon had something to say to me,


but Yeo-woon glossed over his words and only said he was sorry. It
was painful because the discomfort still hadn’t gone away.

“brother. Do you really have nothing to say to me?”


“….”

Yeowoon looked up at him and made eye contact for a while before
turning his head away.

“doesn’t exist.”

…lie.

“I’ll go in first. I’m a little tired.”

He smiled awkwardly and walked into the house with crabby steps.
The face that was watching me until the end was suspicious.
Suspicion soon became certainty. Yeowoon must be hiding
something from me.

***

“Oppa, do you have the green tea latte yet?”

“uh?”

“Green tea latte.”


green tea…. Green tea…What was it?

“no… What are you doing earlier?”

“ah. Green tea latte?”

“With ice.”

“huh.”

“What are you doing there, washing dishes?”

“….”

why am i standing here Only then did Jigu Yoon shake his head
slightly and pour some ice into a plastic cup. The ice cubes rattled
and filled the cup to the top. Ji-gu Yoon, who belatedly sensed
something different in the employee he was working with, turned his
head and asked.

“Did you cut your hair?”

“yes?”

“… Was it always like that?”

“Wow, you just saw this?”


The employee laughed with an absurd expression on his face. The
employee who has been working part-time here ever since the cafe
was established has had long hair ever since the day she first met
Ji-gu Yoon. He laughed at Yoon Ji-gu for being so indifferent, asking
if he had just noticed that his chest-length hair had been cut off
above his shoulders.

“Yesterday I suddenly felt like it and cut it off. Doesn’t it suit you?
“My mom said it was much better with my hair cut.”

“But why?”

“I’m just sick of it.”

“Are you sick of it?”

“It’s light and good when you cut it. It’s also comfortable when
washing your hair.”

His voice could no longer be heard. I didn’t really wonder why I cut
my hair, and I couldn’t even remember how many pumps of green
tea syrup I should put in my drink.

I’m sick of it…. I’m sick of it…. I’m sick of it…. I’m sick of it…. I’m
sick of it…. I’m sick of it…. I’m sick of it…. I’m sick of it…. I’m sick of
it…. I’m sick of it…. That word was the only word that persistently
lingered in my head.

Like a hair cut off out of boredom, will the lingering feelings become
easier once I am cut off from this beautiful life? It may be difficult to
find someone more handsome than you, but you can easily meet
someone better than me. Because Yeo-woon is a good person and
worth it.

‘…I guess he’s getting sick of me being so annoying to him. I am….’

I felt dizzy. Yoon Ji-gu leaned against the wall and took a couple of
deep breaths.

“Ji-gu, Ji-hyuk is coming soon, so Young is watching. Mom, I need to


meet someone for a moment and talk….”

Yoon Ji-gu’s mother, who opened the cafe door with a jingling bell,
frowned.

“Yoon Ji-gu, why are you like this? “Where are you hurting?”

“Eh. Oppa, are you sick?”

It hurt. Mind…It hurt so much.

“Maybe it’s a cold. Earth, take medicine…. Oh my, what’s going on?
Jihye cut her hair! Goes well.”

“Boss, you’re in a good mood today, aren’t you?”

“It’s new clothes. Do you notice it?”


As always, they talked, leaving Yun Ji-gu alone in his own world.
Meanwhile, Young took out a small tree from inside the shopping
bag.

“Grandma, this!”

“Leave the spirit wherever you want.”

“yes.”

“Boss, is that a Christmas tree?”

“Umm, is it too late?”

“Ahaha, it’s late!”

Tomorrow is Christmas Eve! The staff laughed and said that this
might be the only cafe that sets up a Christmas tree two days before
Christmas. As if he knew this, the cafe owner also joined in with the
laughter and had a smile on his face.

“If you leave it alone all winter, the mulberries will grow. Isn’t it nice
and atmospheric?”

“That too.”

Even as the two women were talking, Young came to the side of Ji-
gu Yoon, who was sitting in a dazed state, tilted his head, placed the
tree on Ji-gu Yoon’s lap, and sat down in front of him.
“What are you doing, uncle?”

“….”

Yun Ji-gu had no answer. I couldn’t answer.

“Young, did you install the tree?”

“yes.”

Young, who was sitting on a chair, answered by wiggling his short


legs. The child took out a small sketchbook and felt-tip pen from his
small bag and began adding colorful colors to the already drawn
picture. In front of the spirit, Jigu Yoon was mesmerized and just
sighing even though there were miscellaneous things that had not
yet become trees on his lap. The two women standing at the
entrance of the cafe glanced at him and talked.

“Why is he like that today?”

“I don’t know. It keeps doing that. Did you break up with your lover?”

“Does Earth have a lover?”

“Um, yes. It seemed like something happened? It’s very obvious.


Smiling and caring all day long. His attitude is clearly different from
when he deals with other people…. Did you not see the ring on my
hand?”
“…Oh my, really? who?”

“well? “You can find out who it is from your brother.”

“Who can handle that temperament? “I have to go and bow to him.”

“You’re the boss’s son. What if the boss knows less than me?”

“is it? Oh, I’m going to be late for my appointment.”

“Bye.”

Meanwhile, Young continued to annoy Yun Ji-gu by saying ‘uncle,


uncle’, but he was in pain even breathing and was imagining things
inside. In his mind, a scene of Yeo-woon lining up people and
replacing them one by one unfolded. I really wanted to die because I
couldn’t stop thinking.

“brother.”

“….”

“Do you just want to go home? “It doesn’t look very good.”

The employee took the tree accessories that were on Ji-gu Yoon’s
lap and connected the wires to the mini tree. When I saw the
Christmas tree twinkling with pretty colors at the entrance of the
cafe, I suddenly felt sad again. Christmas is just around the corner,
but is Lee Yeo-woon even aware of it? What if they abandon me on
Christmas and go to work or spend it with someone else?

I just wanted to faint. As long as I opened my eyes, this was all I


could think of. Unable to figure out how to stop negative thoughts,
Jigu Yoon just closed his eyes. Time passed so quickly. Every
minute and second feels like hell.

“I hate you uncle.”

“why.”

“I hate you.”

Young, who had chewed most of what he said, turned his head away
with his cheeks puffed out. At the end of Young’s gaze, a man
stopped his car outside the cafe and got out. It was a man with short
ponytails tied tightly with a red rubber band. Young stood up and
saw him coming toward the cafe and said, “It’s dad!” He shouted.

“Tsk, our spirit. Are you having a good time?”

“dad. My uncle is strange.”

“Uncle who? “Yoon Ji-gu?”

Ji-hyuk sat in front of Ji-gu Yoon, holding Young in his arms. Ji-gu
Yoon looked at his eldest brother, who seemed to be making fun of
him, and spoke harshly.
“what.”

“It’s not strange. Is our youngest the same as usual?”

“Why are you fighting again?”

“A fight.”

Jihyuk Yoon snorted and sat Young on his lap, resting his chin lightly
on the top of the child’s head. He pointed to the tree installed at the
entrance of the cafe.

“But you put up a Christmas tree? “Isn’t it too late?”

“Daddy daddy. Young went with grandma and bought it.”

“Oh, I did. I bought something pretty.”

What do you do when you have a pretty Christmas tree like that?
Lee Yeo-woon secretly receives someone else’s number. To me, my
brother is ‘Lee Yeowoon hyung♥’, but to me, he is nothing but Yoon
Ji-gu. I keep in touch with myself, but I keep in touch well with my
friends. I’m sure my fucking Christmas will be completely ruined this
year….

Ji-gu Yoon bit his lip with an instantly dead look on his face. My
brother was so kind and so sweet that I didn’t even know that he
wanted to break up with me but couldn’t tell me. Maybe being busy
is just an excuse. You may have been thinking about breaking up
with yourself for a long time.
As soon as I thought about that, my mind collapsed. My heart ached
so much that it was difficult to even breathe. Even if he said we
should break up, I doubted whether I would be able to accept that
fact. My entire body felt weak and trembled. I don’t know why this
crisis is coming to me. I wanted the damn word called breakup to
disappear from this world.

‘Fuck. It’s fucking dazzling.’

When the sun set, it became dark outside the window. The
Christmas tree shining brightly against the dark outside scenery
looked unsightly. I wish Christmas would disappear too. I wish
everything would just disappear. I hope it rains the day after
tomorrow.

…After all, I hate winter.

“What on Earth are you going to do this weekend?” …what’s the


matter?”

Jihyuk, who was stroking his young son’s cheek, raised his head and
looked at Yoon Jigu. He suddenly looked at Yun Ji-gu, who lowered
his head while clutching his trembling hands, and laughed as if it
were absurd.

“Are you crying?”

“Uncle, why are you crying?”

“Are you crazy? “I’m not crying!”


The corners of her eyes were bright red, as if she was about to
burst into tears, and her pupils were moist, to say the least, but
tears were not falling. Jihyuk looked at his younger brother’s
unfamiliar face and spoke in a playful voice.

“don’t cry. Crying causes muscle loss.”

“Dad, what is Jeongseongsing?”

“Muscle loss? Coming to my youngest uncle. It’s a disease that can


only be cured if your uncle exercises hard. You don’t need to know
yet.”

“That kind of thing, that kind of thing doesn’t come!”

“Okay, if you’re sick, get out and go to the hospital first. Don’t just sit
back and be ignorant. It doesn’t get better like that.”

“… It doesn’t hurt.”

It hurt. When I was told that I wouldn’t get better if I just sat there for
no reason, I felt like crying again. Ultimately, a conversation with Lee
Yeo-woon is necessary. I knew it. I was afraid of the consequences,
so I couldn’t step forward, but I knew the solution. I know…What if I
tell you and then decide to break up? Ji-gu Yoon barely managed to
swallow his tears. The tip of my nose tingled.

“But why are you sitting here shaking? “Didn’t you want me to
know?”
“Fuck it, don’t worry.”

“The spirit is ahead. Pay attention to your words.”

Jihyuk Yoon covered the ears of Young, who was sitting on his lap,
and threatened him. Jigu Yoon didn’t feel any threat from those
words and just snorted with wide eyes.

“Our youngest. Did you get dumped by your lover?”

“….”

“what? What, is it real? when?”

“Not yet!”

“yet?”

People are so sad that they can’t even live their daily lives, but I
thought it was just something to be entertained by, so I wanted to
slap the smiley face on my face. I’m holding back because
Yunyoung is in front of me. If he wasn’t a child, he wouldn’t have
looked at me like he was an older brother.

‘What is the difference? I can never break up with my brother.’

Even if it means holding on to your ankles, we will prevent such a


disaster. Lee Yeo-woon has a weak heart, so if she cries and clings
to her, she might look back at her at least once.
Ji-gu Yoon jumped up with his hands on the table. The chair scraped
against the floor and made a screeching sound.

“Where?”

“pharmacy.”

“Is the pharmacy open at this hour?”

“Please don’t worry.”

Whether it was buying headache medicine or lemon-flavored


vitamins, I wanted you to stop worrying about me. The time on the
cell phone screen was already showing eight o’clock. Normally, it
would have been time for Lee Yeo-woon to get off work. Just
thinking of that name made me choke up and purse my lips.

“Young, pack your bag. Let’s go home.”

“huh.”

It seemed like Yunyoung’s father and son were planning to go home


soon. Yoon Ji-gu quickly left the cafe without even saying hello to
them. Unlike the warm interior of the cafe, a harsh cold wind blew as
soon as the door was opened. And after a while. The moment Yun
Ji-gu turned his head with the sound of a klaxon, he fell flat on the
asphalt floor.

“Oh, my! Student, are you okay?”


The car driver, who suddenly applied the brakes, quickly got out of
the driver’s seat and waddled towards the pedestrian he almost hit.
Because I stopped right before I was hit by the car, I wasn’t
seriously injured, but I fell down hard and my palms where I had
touched the ground were all scratched and bleeding.

“Hmm, that’s why people should always be careful on the road.”

“….”

When Yun Ji-gu’s gaze turned towards him, he averted his gaze with
a stricken face.

“Of course, we have to be careful with cars, but wouldn’t it be better


if we also be careful with each other? “Do you understand me,
student?”

He was constantly making excuses, but none of his words reached


my ears. All I could think about right now was that I was injured and
there was no Yeo-woon by my side to worry about me. As soon as I
left the cafe, I fell down and ended up looking like this, but my heart
still hurt more than the torn palm.

When Yoon Ji-gu didn’t respond in any way, the driver gained
courage and asked, ‘Why are you suddenly jumping out? Even
though Yoon Ji-gu subtly rebuked him by saying, ‘Can you just give
me the money for the medicine?’, he blankly looked down at his
bleeding palm. I felt dizzy.

Jihyuk walked out of the cafe, stood in the middle of the two, and
held out his hand. It seemed like he meant to get up quickly. Yun Ji-
gu looked around. Not only the people in the cafe, but even the staff
who were supposed to be at the counter were gathered at the
window, looking at him with wide eyes. Ji-gu Yoon, who was
intimidated by the eyes of so many people looking at him, instantly
turned bright red.

“ah!”

The moment Yun Ji-gu hurriedly grabbed Ji-hyuk’s outstretched


hand and tried to get up, Ji-gu Yoon withdrew his hand due to the
tingling pain he felt in his wrist. The eldest brother’s expression
turned cold as he looked down at his youngest brother, who seemed
to be complaining of wrist pain while holding his torn hand. he asked,
looking down at the cell phone in the driver’s hand.

“Are you on the phone?”

“Oh, that’s….”

“You almost hit a child who wasn’t in a hurry and then you blame
someone else. You’re so overly confident. Let’s take a look at the
black box.”

“Hey, teacher. It wasn’t an accident, so why are you turning the


camera like this? .”

“Let’s call the police and resolve it. Non-contact accidents are also
traffic accidents.”

“….”
“There are many witnesses here, so let’s take it easy. Contact your
insurance company. If you’re thinking of just letting things go like
this, it would be better to give up that thought.”

“Well, what I meant was that it would be good if we all be careful


with each other, teacher. I said this to end on a good note, so calm
down….”

The driver, who did not know that the cell phone he was talking on
would be caught, hung up and quietly hid the cell phone behind him.
You stepped on shit. The man, who had planned to give her the
money for medicine and run away with her, didn’t know what to do,
but eventually gave in and exchanged phone numbers with Ji-hyuk.
Ji-hyuk Yoon called the man’s cell phone on the spot, checked it,
and tapped Ji-gu Yoon, who was still devastated.

“Yoon Ji-gu, is this the master bedroom? Don’t be like that, get up.
Go to the hospital quickly.”

“….”

“If you leave it unattended, you won’t be able to use it. Young will
take you out, so get in the car….”

“… Tsk.”

“…what’s the matter?”

Only then did the two men realize that something was strange and
turned their heads. Yun Ji-gu was shaking his broad shoulders with
his head down. He lifted his free hand and roughly wiped his eyes,
as if he was embarrassed to show his sullen face in front of others.

“Does it hurt that much?”

it hurts.

Love hurts so much. Am I really sick of Lee Yeowoon? .

The day was extremely cold, my arms couldn’t move as I wanted,


and people were staring at me, which made me feel embarrassed,
but I felt so miserable and pathetic that I could only think about this
sweet thing.

***

“Thank you for your hard work, please enter carefully.”

“Chief Lee also go.”

After the rest of the group finished working overtime, Yeowoon


turned off the lights in the office and came out. The night air was too
cool to survive with just a coat. The fatigue of the day settled on my
shoulders and my muscles became stiff. Yeowoon let out a sigh
mixed with fatigue. The white breath became hazy.
“Ugh, I’m glad it’s finished before the weekend though!”

“Iknow, right.”

“But won’t the chief meet anyone tomorrow?”

“…?”

A person walking side by side in the same direction to the bus stop
asked. Yeowoon tilted his head at the sudden change of topic.

“The day after tomorrow is Christmas.”

“ah….”

“Surely you forgot?”

“No, I knew….”

I didn’t forget that Christmas falls on a weekend this year and that
today is the 23rd. However, it was hard to believe that the date had
already happened.

“Chief, let me go to the bakery for a moment! “My younger brother


asked me to pick it up on the way home.”

“Do you want to? Let’s go in together, then.”


“Ugh, it’s cold.”

Yeowoon followed his fellow employees into a bakery with a sweet


smell wafting from the entrance. Yeo-woon, who was looking at the
few remaining breads without much thought, suddenly thought when
he saw the only whipped cream cake left in the display case. Even
though it’s Christmas, shouldn’t I blow out a candle with my lover?

And after a while, I came to my senses and saw that Yeowoon was
holding a cake box in his hand. A man who appeared to be just
getting home came in, busily out of breath, and asked if there was
any cake left. The bakery employee pointed to the lingering cake
and said with an apologetic expression, ‘That’s the last one.’ I felt
proud to hear that.

“Did you buy it for Christmas?”

“yes. I’m going to eat it with my lover….”

“Envy you. As expected, the chief has a lover….”

Yeowoon smiled shyly at the voice mixed with envy. After buying the
cake, I couldn’t wait to run home and see the handsome face of my
lover. Why did you make a sulky face asking me why you came so
late again today? Or should I give you a warm embrace and say you
did a good job today? Either way is fine, so I want to see it quickly.

where are you?


While waiting for the bus to arrive at the bus stop, I took out my cell
phone. Yeo-woon melted his frozen hands with his breath and sent a
message to Yoon Ji-gu. However, the reply that would normally have
come right away did not arrive until several minutes had passed.

Are you sleeping already? Can’t I get it because I’m playing a game?
Or is it at a cafe…. I made a phone call out of anxiety and didn’t
know why. The call connection tone was longer than usual.

“You look like you’re sleeping….”

I was about to hang up the phone because I thought he might not


answer. Someone answered the phone, and a faint noise came from
the other end of the phone.

“Earth, where are you?”

-hello?

But why is Jigu Yoon’s voice like this? Suddenly you seem like a
different person.

-…Mr. Yeowoon?

“yes?”

-Is this really the Yeowoon I know?

“…?”
Who knows me?

“I’m sorry, but who are you?”

-ah. This is Yoon Ji-hyuk, Ji-gu. Don’t you remember me?

“…ah! hello.”

I remember. I was acquainted with him. We even ate together once


before. Yeowoon suddenly straightened up and politely answered the
phone. Anyway, I didn’t understand the situation. He obviously called
Ji-gu Yoon, but why is his older brother answering the phone?

“I…. Isn’t Earth there?”

-Jigu can’t answer the phone right now. But why….

I felt unfamiliar sounds beyond the receiver. There were a lot of


people around, so I could hear other people’s voices mixed in, and I
could also hear someone crying.

-Yeo-woon, I’ll call you later. It’s in the emergency room, and my
child is crying and distraught.

“Emergency room?!”

Yeowoon’s heart sank as he unconsciously let out a loud noise.


“Why the emergency room? “Who got hurt?”

-There was a car accident in front of my house. …Yeah, are you


sleepy? Let’s wake up and sleep. are you okay. Grandma will be
home soon.

I never thought I would hear that someone I thought was at home or


at a cafe is suddenly in the emergency room. And on a day like
this…. Yeowoon was momentarily embarrassed and his mind went
blank.

“Chief, why? emergency room? “Who?”

My vision became distant and my hands were shaking. A child who


should be resting comfortably at home is suddenly in the emergency
room. There was no sense of reality at all.

“Uh, some hospital. Where is the emergency room?”

-It’s xx hospital…Are you coming?

“Well, I’ll be right away.”

I hung up the phone frantically. People standing at the bus stop


glanced at Yeo-woon with worried faces when they heard the words
“emergency room” and Yeo-woon’s embarrassed attitude. My fellow
employees also looked worried with a serious look on their faces.
Yeo-woon muttered into the air in a nonchalant manner.

“hospital…It’s a hospital, but there was a car accident….”


“Chief!”

“….”

Yeowoon looked down at the hand holding his shoulder tightly and
closed his eyes. Only then did I seem to come to my senses.

“Just calm down for now. It won’t be a big deal.”

“…yes.”

“Come to your senses first. What will be solved if the chief is like this
here?”

“thank you. jeon… I’ll take a taxi and go first.”

After all, there was a car accident on a day like this. Yeowoon
spotted an empty taxi passing in front of the bus stop and
immediately raised his hand to catch one.

“The emergency room of xx hospital.”

“Yes.”

“Please go quickly.”

There was a smell of cheap air freshener in the taxi, and carols were
playing on the radio, saying that tomorrow was Christmas Eve. The
cheerful sound of bells and golden melodies blessed the anniversary.
Perhaps because it was Friday night, the car was so packed that
there was no time to break through. Yeowoon closed his eyes tightly
and prayed to gods he did not even believe in for his comfort. Just a
moment ago, I was just relieved and excited about finishing work,
but now every minute felt urgent.

***

As soon as I got off the taxi, Yeowoon ran frantically, opened the
emergency room door, and went in. From the entrance, a faint
chemical smell lingered in my nose. There were so many beds and
people that it was very difficult to find one person. Perhaps because
I had been fiddling with my phone the entire way, the battery had run
out. It would be easier to find if you called…. Instead of looking
around, Yeowoon stopped at any passing doctor and asked.

“Is there anyone here from the car accident earlier?”

“Traffic Accident? Currently, there is only one traffic accident case.


It’s over there.”

Yeowoon turned his head and looked at where the doctor’s finger
was pointing. The silhouette of a patient was seen lying on an
uncomfortable-looking bed covered with a white cloth.
“….”

It felt like time had stopped. The surrounding situation, which was so
noisy, was not noticeable at all. I wish this was all just a dream. I
hope it’s not Yoon Ji-gu lying there. He prayed in his heart and
forced himself to take a steady step.

Yeowoon, who was approaching, stopped in place with a blank


expression. A white cloth was covered up to the top of Yun Ji-gu’s
head.

‘Declared dead.’

My heart dropped to my toes. Yeowoon’s day today was no different


from usual. As usual, I woke up at 6:30 to get ready for work, spent
half a day at work, and then left work as usual, but I couldn’t figure
out why I was standing here.

“….”

The unsteady steps approached the bed. He weakly dropped the


hand he had reached for the cloth. After being silent for a while, I
muttered in a voice so low that only I could hear it.

“Earth, let’s go home.”

What did I do on a day like this? I went out and got into an accident.
why….
“I bought bread. You like sweets, right? “I’ll let you eat it all by
yourself.”

Of course, the other person said nothing. Yeowoon collapsed on the


spot, holding on tightly to the bed sheets. He squatted down and
buried his face in his knees. This time just felt like hell. Now I regret
everything. I lost the coupling ring that held my memories with him,
and I cut down on the time I spent with him using work as an
excuse….

“Brother…I came to pick you up. Get up quickly.”

If she had known that it would end like this with Yoon Ji-gu, she
wouldn’t have met him. Yeowoon took a deep breath and shook his
head.

No, that can’t be true. Even if he had started knowing all these
outcomes, he would have had no choice but to love Ji-gu Yoon. It
was as if he had melted my heart that had been pushed away
countless times. Yoon Ji-gu came to me like a spring breeze and
melted into my daily life, and I couldn’t help but love him like that.

still. Still, if I had known in advance, I could have been more faithful
to my emotions. It would have allowed him to leave with a few more
happy memories. I would love you so much more. I should have
hugged you more. Don’t show a straight face when someone asks
you to do something. I should be more honest…. Heat gathered
around my eyes and my vision blurred. It broke my heart to think
that I would no longer be able to see the face that had smiled so
beautifully at me until yesterday.
Yeowoon held the hand sticking out from the side of the white sheet
and repeated countless regrets. But even if I regretted it now, what
happened in the past cannot be undone. He prayed earnestly with
his eyes tightly closed. If there is a God, please let the earth come
back to life. Please let me breathe again. I can’t eat this cake all by
myself….

It was then.

“Yes.”

“…!”

Yun Ji-gu, who was a corpse, miraculously came back to life. Oh my


god, not this. I asked him to save me, but I didn’t think he would
actually survive!

Yeo-woon, who had been trembling in his mind as he used all kinds
of good words, such as regret, love, and happiness, threw away the
hand he was holding as if he had never done that before and
stepped back. My face, which had been red from holding back tears,
turned as white as a sheet of paper. The man who appeared, lifting
the cloth that covered his head with one hand….

“Oh fuck. They told me to wait and that they would pick me up soon.
Why are you coming now?”

“…who are you?”

“yes?”
“yes?”

“yes?”

“yes?”

The two said to each other, ‘Yes?’ As I repeated what I was saying, I
realized something was strange and simultaneously closed my
mouth.

“What, you?”

“….”

“What are you talking about? Is this your first time seeing someone
with a broken leg? Ouch! “Get a doctor!”

“Okay, doctor!”

“yes?”

“Ah, how long are you going to make me wait? If this continues, my
legs will all rot!”

“It doesn’t rot.”

“Oh my, I’m dying! “It’s bleeding profusely!”


The man who had been sleeping peacefully with his face covered all
of a sudden lost his pretense and started telling the truth. How can
you mistake this guy for Yoon Ji-gu? Yeowoon, who was squatting
with a dazed face at the loud noise, shook his head and looked
around.

No, it wasn’t here…?

“Then Ji-gu Yoon….”

“…brother?”

At that time, the voice that Yeowoon had longed for so much came
from next to her. Yeowoon, who was squatting on the floor and
shaking, looked up. Ji-gu Yoon…It was alive!

“you really…!”

Yeo-woon paused before continuing. If there had been an accident,


you should have told me. I should have…. The words I couldn’t say
because my throat was tight lingered on the tip of my tongue. Yeo-
woon got up and was about to approach Yoon Ji-gu.

“Who is that?”

He strode forward and hugged Yeo-woon’s shoulder tightly, glaring at


the unfamiliar man who had been holding Yeo-woon’s hand just
moments before. He was pointing at his broken knee and screaming
to get a doctor quickly.
“Ugh, I’m dying!”

“Speak quickly. Who is that?”

“…I don’t know?”

It was absurd to see it again. How could anyone think that was Yoon
Ji-gu? As I watched this, tears came to my eyes.

“Are you okay?”

Yeo-woon belatedly looked back at Yun Ji-gu. He must have been


very surprised, but other than his anxious expression and the cast
that fixed his injured arm, he looked very fine. Perhaps the accident
happened while she was at a cafe, but Ji-gu Yoon was still wearing
the cafe uniform she was already familiar with.

“thank god….”

“… Why are you here?”

“uh?”

“Did you come because of that person?”

“uh?”
“Who is that? Is this your first time seeing you? Bro, you’re not
putting any effort into that bastard like you did when you were trying
to seduce me. Who is he holding my hand? Have you been together
all this time? Everyone who talks about working overtime is bullshit.
Um, what makes that bastard so much better than me? Are you
trying to abandon me and replace me with that guy? No, I can’t
stand to see you like that. My brother said I was like that….”

Yun Ji-gu’s eyes were red and his shoulders were shaking. Yeo-
woon didn’t know what was going on, but he looked very surprised,
so he raised his hand and patted Yun Ji-gu.

“Let’s go home, Earth.”

“…What’s this! “Don’t give this to him, give it to me!”

“oh!”

Ji-gu Yoon snatched the cake box from Yeo-woon’s hand. And then,
as if Yeo-woon was going to take my things back, he quickened his
steps and ran away first with wide strides. Yeo-woon, who met a
lovely robber in the middle of the night, came to her senses late and
followed him out of the building.

“Why are you in such a hurry?”

I used to say that I was fast, but now I even walk faster. Yeo-woon
barely caught up with Ji-gu Yoon and squeezed his shoulder hard.
Ji-gu Yoon, who forced himself to turn around at the touch, held the
stolen cake box tightly in his arms and looked at Yeo-woon with sad
eyes.
“Why again!”

“….”

Feeling sorry for her lover who was wearing only a thin shirt and not
a coat, Yeo-woon untied the scarf from around her neck and tied it
around Ji-gu Yoon’s neck. A dark blue checkered scarf was hung
around a straight neck. I looked much better after wrapping the long
scarf a couple of times around my neck and tying it into a loose
knot.

“Huh….”

After tying the scarf with trembling hands, Yun Ji-gu was shedding
tears silently. Yeo-woon was startled by that face and grabbed Yoon
Ji-gu’s cheek with both hands, wiping away the teardrops with his
thumbs. As if the touch had reassured me, the tears began to fall
more heavily without showing any signs of stopping. Yeowoon asked
in confusion.

“Why why? …Why are you crying all of a sudden? “Does it still hurt
a lot?”

“Hyung, I, really. I really like it.”

“Mr. Yeowoon?”

It was then. A familiar voice was heard from behind Yeowoon.

“…!”
“I knew it would be like this.”

Jihyuk Yoon, who came out of the hospital late, muttered. He looked
at them with a blank face while holding his sleeping child in his arms.
Standing next to him was a woman who was the president of Cafe
Earth and Yun Ji-gu’s mother. He also looked very surprised.

…oh my god. Feeling that the blood in his entire body was cooling,
Yeo-woon gently pushed Yun Ji-gu away and bowed his head to
greet them. The day obviously started out normally, but I couldn’t
figure out why it became so spectacular in the evening.

“Boss, this is….”

My mouth was dry. Yeo-woon opened his mouth, gently blocking


Yoon Ji-gu’s path so that he could explain himself before he heard
anything unnecessary.

“Is our Earth….”

Yun Ji-gu’s mother muttered with a helpless expression on her face.


Yes, it was understandable that I didn’t want to believe it. Yeowoon
was very nervous and took a sharp breath. I never thought that one
day I wouldn’t be able to tell my parents. But I never thought I would
be caught in this worst situation.

“…sorry.”

“Are you forcing your feelings on Yeowoon?”


“I should have told you in advance…yes?”

“I’m sorry about this, what should I do?”

“yes…?”

“He’s grown so much since he was young…. Yoon Ji-gu! Let him go
quickly. What are you doing that makes you embarrassed to see
people in the neighborhood?”

“…?”

I’m not a loving person. Yeowoon missed the moment to correct the
truth and kept his mouth shut. Yun Ji-gu, who hugged her tightly
from behind, shook her head and shouted.

“I’m not going! “I can never go!”

“and!”

“what! I can’t go! Or dig it up at the family register! it hurts! Far go!
“Do whatever you want, Mom!”

“Hey, Yoon Ji-gu!”

“I don’t know! “If you tell me to break up, you’ll die!”


“You, my bastard! He’s so cheesy and resembles his father that
even if you talk back, he’ll risk his life…!”

At that time, Yoon Ji-hyuk slipped in between my mother and Yoon


Ji-gu and laughed awkwardly.

“Yoon Ji-gu, aren’t you coming here?”

“Mom, stop. Young is barely sleeping, but I’m going to wake up.”

“ah….”

“The Earth also continues to live.”

“….”

Unlike my mother, who saw this situation as Yoon Ji-gu’s emotional


coercion, Yoon Ji-hyuk seemed to know everything. Now that I think
about it, when I called earlier, it was Jihyuk who answered the
phone. Yeowoon looked at Jihyuk with a calm face. Two days before
Christmas, in front of the emergency room, I felt a little strange
because it was a meeting rather than a meeting, but my premonition
wasn’t that bad. Jihyuk laughed at himself.

“Mr. Yeowoon.”

“…yes.”
“It’s late, so let’s go in quickly. And next time, let’s eat together
again.”

“hey! What kind of brother are you asking my brother to eat with?
town?”

Yeo-woon covered Ji-gu Yoon’s mouth when he suddenly started


calling himself ‘our brother’ in front of his older brother, and
whispered so softly that only he could hear.

“Shut up….”

Yun Ji-gu’s mouth was tightly shut at those words. And then tears
started to form under my eyes again.

“Well, we’ll go first.”

“Yes, please come in.”

Jihyuk Yoon lifted Young’s sleeping hand and shook it slightly. As the
child fussed in his sleep and twitched his fern-like hands, his mother,
who was about to rip Yun Ji-gu’s hair, stopped laughing. Before Yun
Ji-gu could start crying again, Yeo-woon grabbed his wrist and ran
away. Yoon Ji-gu’s tears suddenly flew and sparkled in the air.

***
It wasn’t unusual for the car to be pushed around, so I decided to
just walk home. It was about a 30-minute walk from the hospital to
the couple’s home. Yeo-woon held hands with Ji-gu Yoon and walked
in silence for a while. He held up the cake box with his injured,
casted arm and trudged along with his head bowed.

The car speeding along the wide street felt somewhat threatening,
so Yeo-woon led Yun Ji-gu to the inside of the sidewalk. Christmas
carols are playing from a distant store. Everyone in the world was
smiling and running towards their precious people. Everyone
seemed happy.

‘If I had lost you on a day like this, I would have been depressed a
month before Christmas for the rest of my life.’

thank god. It still hurt like my heart was being squeezed. So Yeo-
woon held Ji-gu Yoon’s hand tighter. I was so thankful to heaven that
he was alive. The body temperature in my hand was so precious.

“… It’s Earth.”

“brother.”

After being silent for a while, the two people who called each other
at the same time stopped and turned their heads to look at each
other’s faces. Yun Ji-gu buried his cold, red nose in his scarf and
slowly blinked his wet eyes. The tears that had been building up in
my eyelashes fell again and soaked into my scarf.
Yeo-woon never dreamed that a man who cried silently while walking
down the street at night two days before Christmas could look so
lovely. Jigu Yoon first avoided the shaking gaze and lowered his
head.

“Tell me first, my brother.”

“No, you speak first.”

“… Then shall we speak at the same time?”

Yeowoon nodded at his words. Yun Ji-gu had an overly solemn


expression on his face as he tried to say something. Yeo-woon
opened his mouth in front of his lover, who had no idea what he was
thinking.

“I lost my coupling ring.”

“Actually, I know you’re tired of me.”

“uh?”

“…yes?”

The two people frowned in surprise at the words they said at the
same time.

“weariness?”
“What do you have to lose?”

Yun Ji-gu lowered his head and looked down at Yeo-woon’s hand.

“What are you talking about. Why am I tired of you?”

“… There really isn’t one.”

“So are you crying? “Have I done something to confuse you again?”

“Would you like me to lend you my ring until you find it?”

“I really don’t understand why you thought that way.”

The two people each said nothing but gibberish and soon made eye
contact. Even with her face marred by tears, Ji-gu Yoon was at a
loss for what to do because the lingering sight in front of her was so
lovely. It was the same with Yeo-woon.

“Yoon Ji-gu.”

“….”

“I’ve never gotten tired of you. Really.”

Yeo-woon’s quiet voice was simple and unaffected, but it was also
honest. Jigu Yoon’s eyes drooped at the sincere tone. He bit his lip
without saying anything, and asked again with thick tears streaming
down his face.

“Who was the person holding your hand in the emergency room
earlier?”

“stranger.”

“Why are you holding the hand of someone you don’t know?”

“…sorry. I thought it was you because there was only one person
involved in a car accident. That’s why I held your hand.”

“Besides that. …Actually, I… I saw a text message on your cell


phone.”

“What text?”

Yun Ji-gu hesitated for a moment and muttered in a voice full of


tears.

“Isn’t it necessary for someone you don’t know to talk to your lover?
Otherwise I’ll be angry….”

“Tell your lover…?”

“And on the day when my brother was asleep at our house, I


secretly searched his pockets while taking off his clothes. There was
also a note with someone else’s phone number written on it. I tore it
up and threw it away. I’m really, really sorry, but you shouldn’t do this
to me either. Why are you getting someone else’s number when
you’re dating me?”

“ah.”

“There were strange marks on my brother’s body too. Who said


that?”

Only then did Yeo-woon realize what Yun Ji-gu had misunderstood.
He also wrote a novel. He came up to me with his usual annoyed
face and said, ‘What is this?’ It was a misunderstanding that would
have been resolved in less than a minute if we had tried to have a
conversation.

“But we….”

“….”

“Can’t we just break up?”

A voice that threatens to die of sorrow. Every time he blinked, tears


filled with light fell. What was lacking between Yoon Ji-gu and himself
was conversation. The absence of honest conversation is what
made things so bad.

However, Yun Ji-gu alone could not be blamed for that. To put it that
way, I wasn’t very proud of myself. For the sole reason that Ji-gu
Yoon would be angry, he hid the fact that he had lost his coupling
ring and secretly hid his hand in front of Ji-gu Yoon. As a result, it
was true that I secretly avoided him.

First of all, in order to stop Yoon Ji-gu’s tears, it was urgent to first
resolve the misunderstanding.

“Didn’t the text mention a date or a couple ring?”

“….”

It’s a look I don’t remember. I can’t show it to you right away


because my phone’s battery is running out, but it was a
misunderstanding that can still be resolved through sufficient
conversation.

“I know you. It’s a place where I got my couple’s ring matched


before, but we’ve known each other since we were kids, so the way
we spoke… It may have been misleading.”

“…really?”

“Yes, really. The note…I don’t know. I think I just wrote down the
number to call back while answering the phone at work.”

At those words, Yoon Ji-gu shook his head slightly. Looking at his
expression, it seemed like he didn’t believe it at all. I guess my
words felt like nothing more than an excuse.

“It’s not.”
“why?”

“I’m so used to my brother. That’s why it became bothersome.”

“… It’s Earth.”

“You don’t have to make excuses. You’re sick of me, right….”

“Yoon Ji-gu.”

“Otherwise, why have you been avoiding me all this time? I also
have insight. I’m quick-witted. …I know everyone hates me. I’m
used to that.”

“You hate it? “I want you?”

Yun Ji-gu’s brow furrowed as he was hurt by what I said. He


whimpered and tried to suppress the tears that were on the verge of
bursting out. I wanted to silence him and threaten him to listen to my
story first, but now was not the time. In fact, it may have the
opposite effect.

“I will do better. I…So you can’t meet other people?”

Yeo-woon calmly took a deep breath and spoke to Yun Ji-gu, who
was wiping her tears on her shoulder and holding her hand tightly.

“Yoon Ji-gu.”
“If you’re going to lie, don’t do it. I don’t want to hear it.”

“Still listen!”

“….”

“You run to the emergency room in the middle of the night, paying
double the taxi fare, because someone you don’t like is injured?”

“… Did you come because of me?”

“Your brother answered the phone and told me the name of the
hospital.”

“Jihyuk Yoon?”

“… I came to get you.”

“….”

“I thought you were dead. That bastard was covered in cloth, even
his head….”

Yeowoon gritted his teeth. I don’t know if he had received all the
treatment by now, but I felt ashamed for holding on to that guy’s
hand so tightly. Yoon Ji-gu is a hundred times a thousand times
more handsome and kind.
“That’s why I was so grateful when you called me from behind
earlier.”

“why?”

“Because you’re safe.”

“….”

“Really, I’m so glad….”

At that moment, a strange emotion passed over Yoon Ji-gu’s


expression. Shaking eyes and red eyes. Black eyelashes that were
wet with tears and clumped into many strands. All of them were
beautiful, without leaving out anything. As he sincerely expressed his
disappointment, Yeo-woon also conveyed his emotions without any
lies. The helplessness and despair he felt when he thought he had
passed away was something he had never felt before.

I couldn’t bring myself to say it out loud, but I even had this mean
and selfish thought that if there was a God, I wish he would have
taken someone else’s innocent life instead of bringing Yun Ji-gu back
to life. Yun Ji-gu’s gaze wavered as he looked at Yeo-woon, recalling
memories from a while ago. His well-shaped lips parted slightly, and
his hand brushed my cheek.

“Do not cry.”

I, who had been crying a while ago, clumsily stroked my cheek with
my trembling hand. He ran his hand over Yeowoon’s eyes and
sniffled his red nose, as if he had become more agitated.

“Don’t cry.”

“I?”

It was only then that Yeowoon noticed that I, too, had tears in my
eyes.

“Then bro…. Aren’t we breaking up?”

“…huh.”

“You’re not tired of me, right?”

“huh.”

“Really. Just tell me it’s a lie.”

“huh.”

“… Do you love me?”

“huh….”

“Huh…Me too….”
Yeo-woon followed Yun Ji-gu and bit his lower lip. My heart was
pounding. They say that if you love someone, you resemble them,
but it seems like they even bring tears to your eyes. Like a fool….

***

“The cake was all crushed.”

It was shaped like Rudolph. Yeowoon muttered in a gloomy tone.

Originally, white whipped cream was spread evenly on a sheet


shaped like a deer head, and brown horn-shaped chocolate was
placed beautifully. But now, one of the horn-shaped chocolate pieces
was buried in the sheet and the other side was broken in two and
rolling around. And the strawberry, with a little powdered sugar
sprinkled on top to represent eyes, had to go up on the top of the
deer’s head and look like a Santa hat. It shouldn’t be covered in
whipped cream like this.

Not only was he running around while he was out of his mind, but he
also had a record of Yoon Ji-gu stealing it and running away, so the
cake was in terrible shape. Inside the box, everything was crushed
and mixed up, and the deer’s eyes were proudly stuck to the back of
the head. Jigu Yoon grumbled while lightly licking the whipped cream
on his hand.
“My brother doesn’t even eat this anyway. I don’t like whipped
cream!”

That’s right. The thought of how I almost ate the whole cake, which I
didn’t even like, by myself brought tears to my eyes.

“You like it. You eat it all by yourself….”

“Hmph, I guess you think I’m a pig.”

“….”

“Ah, why are you crying again! My brother bought something that he
doesn’t even eat. I’m so annoyed….”

However, towards the end, my voice started to become watery. Ji-gu


Yoon, whose eyes were red from crying every chance he got all day,
acted as if he hadn’t done that. He put the candle from the cake box
onto the cake that had become mushy. When I struck the enclosed
match, it caught fire with a popping sound. He moved the flame of
the match to the candle and looked back at the lingering light.

“But what should I do while blowing candles on Christmas?”

“huh? I don’t know either.”

“What, really?”

“…Should I make a wish?”


“wish?”

Yun Ji-gu asked Yeo-woon’s words back with a curious look on his
face. Yeo-woon nodded without answering, and Yoon Ji-gu
immediately closed his eyes for about three seconds and then
opened them.

“What did you wish for?”

“Brother….”

“huh?”

Yun Ji-gu looked at me and pursed his lips, then shook his head
slightly as if he had made up his mind.

“…no. I don’t want to talk. They said if you make a wish, it won’t
come true.”

“Sure.”

“What about you?”

“I won’t say anything either.”

“Wow, so shameless.”
It seemed like he wanted to hear what other people’s wishes were,
even though he didn’t tell them himself. Yeowoon burst out laughing.
It was strange that facial expressions that clearly revealed emotions
looked cute. Ji-gu Yoon lifted the cat that kept headbutting at his feet
with one hand and forced its two front paws together. He borrowed a
cat’s paw and imitated the act of making a wish, then made eye
contact with Yeowoon. The two blew together and extinguished the
candle, with the tip melting. The tuxedo cat, which was trying hard to
escape from Ji-gu Yoon’s arms, was only then able to break free.

“Is your arm broken?”

“I think so.”

“it hurts?”

“No, it doesn’t hurt at all.”

“thank god. So when are you going to release it?”

“…I don’t remember. I’m going to call tomorrow and ask.”

Yeo-woon played with his arm, which had become stiff due to a cast,
and scooped up the damaged cake into an appropriate size with a
silver fork and put it into Yoon Ji-gu’s mouth. He eagerly took
whatever food was given to him without any resistance. It was when
I was very young that I even fed my own younger brother without
using my hands, and it was amazing to see Yun Ji-gu calmly
opening his mouth as I was fed, like a baby bird. Yeo-woon scooped
up a lot of whipped cream and stuffed it into Yoon Ji-gu’s mouth,
pretending it was a mistake. He looked down at Yeo Woon with
bulging eyes.

“What…!”

Yeo-woon, not missing the opportunity, brought his head closer and
licked Yun Ji-gu’s lips. Yun Ji-gu stopped breathing as the tongue
lightly licked his lips like a cat would.

“You didn’t even ask me to try it, so I wondered how delicious it


was.”

“… Do I taste delicious?”

“Yes, sweet.”

When Yeo-woon kissed his lips with a soft sound, his eyes, which
had opened wide in surprise, soon closed as if thin ice was melting
in the spring breeze. Yeowoon closed his eyes and pulled Jigu
Yoon’s neck towards me. It was a kiss that tasted like sugar.

When I opened my mouth because I found his desperate attitude


cute, he turned his head and lightly sucked on my lips, just like I
learned from Yeo-woon. Saliva exchanged with each other, flowing
down, digging deeper. The kiss that started out softly soon turned
into an act of coveting each other. They tangled their tongues and
sucked their lips as if in competition.

As the kiss deepened, Yeowoon suddenly realized that he was lying


at an angle, half draped over the table. Yun Ji-gu, who checked by
rubbing his knee, was very excited.

‘Can I do it here?’

A fleeting thought passed through my mind. I hardly ever remember


doing it anywhere other than in bed. At best, the only experiences
were that we caught fire while washing in the bathroom or that we
couldn’t stand it anymore and held each other’s belongings and
caressed them in front of the front door.

“Tsk, haha….”

“….”

After thinking for a moment, Yeo-woon just let all his thoughts
disappear as Yoon Ji-gu made a groaning sound. Yoon Ji-gu is cute,
so what? They said that it didn’t really matter in this situation
whether the one-year-old cat was watching or whether this was the
kitchen. Anyway, Posong Yoon was a eunuch cat that had already
been neutered when his owner brought him home. It wasn’t like I
was doing a sex show in front of hundreds of people, so I wondered
what the problem was.

Even after the long kiss ended, Ji-gu Yoon took a deep breath and
kissed all over Yeo-woon’s face. I could see that he was so feverish
that he didn’t know what to do. Yeo-woon, who was fiddling with his
reddened ears, unbuckled Yoon Ji-gu’s pants and he gasped. It’s not
like he’s done it once or twice, but every time he’s in this situation,
he acts like he’s doing it for the first time.
However, he soon put his hand under Yeowoon’s clothes and quickly
took off half of her bottoms. When my exposed bare skin felt cold
against the glass and I shivered, Jigu Yoon’s hand gently rubbed my
perineum as if to soothe me. Yeo-woon grabbed Yoon Ji-gu’s hair
while he was unconscious and mixed his tongue with him. The sound
made by each other’s movements was so clear and stimulating.

“Ugh….”

Ji-gu Yoon’s hands tried to relieve the tension by squeezing the area
around the muscles. A finger suddenly dug inside. Perhaps because
it had been a while since I had been in a relationship, my back was
so tight that it was difficult to accept just one thing. Feeling like he
needed something to act as lubricant, Yeowoon turned his head with
his legs spread. But there was no way there was anything like that in
the kitchen.

At that time, Jigu Yoon grabbed my waist with one hand and flipped
my posture.

“Wait, what are you doing?”

“Just wait.”

He placed Yeoun in a prone position across the table, scooped up


the uneaten cake cream with his hands, and smeared it down. …
What is this? Yeo-woon was momentarily speechless at the
perverted act that could not even be imagined by normal people. Ji-
gu Yoon, who had stretched his fingers to two and pierced the area
underneath, relying on the slippery whipped cream, almost collapsed
on the floor. Yeowoon, leaning on the table, looked down blankly,
unable to even guess what on earth he was going to do.
“Ah, hey!”

Even if I scream in resentment, it is already too late. Ji-gu Yoon


buried his face between Yeo-woon’s buttocks, frowning slightly as if
it was difficult to do anything with just one hand.

“…!”

He grabbed the buttocks with one hand and spread them apart, then
brought his tongue to the hole located between them and sucked it.
A wet, hot tongue penetrated the narrow gap. Yun Ji-gu secretly
smiled. Everything was sweet and hot. I loved the way my thighs
trembled and gasped every time my tongue moved as if tracing a
shape.

Lee Yeo-woon, who doesn’t usually swear, said, “Ah, sir… .” He


muttered and gripped the edge of the table tightly. Jigu Yoon took his
mouth off the wet hole and inserted his finger into the hole. Every
time my fingers dug into the wet buttocks, a soft, dirty sound came
out.

“It’s because I haven’t done it in too long.”

“I know, but you really seem like a pervert.”

“The older brother who is dating that pervert is even more perverted.
You like hitting me.”

“…Hey, that’s it.”


I wanted to dig inside right away, but the inside was still too narrow
to accept myself. Ji-gu Yoon scooped up a large amount of cream
with her hand and spread it on the inside and outside of the hole.
Then he sticks out his tongue again and I lick it all up. He put his
finger into the hole, opened it slightly, and inserted his tongue into
the gap. I felt dizzy not only because of the wet and hot feeling, but
also because of the sound of water and sloshing coming from below.
It felt strange to have my most private parts exposed and licked to
the core.

Yeo-woon muttered in an absurd voice, looking down at Yun Ji-gu’s


genitals, which were already hard enough to touch his stomach even
though he had not even touched his genitals because he was busy
sucking the base.

“A real pervert….”

“Me?”

Jigu Yoon stuck out his tongue and licked the cream off the corner
of his mouth.

“I know you’re talking about yourself.”

“…joy.”

At the lingering words that seemed to be teasing me, he snorted and


spread his fingers inside, going all the way to the end of the joint. He
opened the inside and twirled his hands as if using scissors. Every
time the fingers, which had now increased in number, roughly poked
the bottom, a cracking sound was heard. The palm moved
vigorously as if hitting between the buttocks, but it was still not
enough. Yeo-woon blinked his fever-blurred eyes, brought his hand
back, grabbed Yun Ji-gu’s finger and forcibly pulled it out.

“Okay, just put it in.”

Normally, Ji-gu Yoon would have jumped at the idea right away,
thinking it was right, but he hesitated, choking on his appetite. He
blushed and whispered softly.

“…Just a little more….”

“delicious?”

“What, what, what, what? “Really, how can you say something like
that!”

“huh? “No, the cake is delicious.”

“….”

“Are you planning on eating all the leftovers? Are you eating now?”

“….”

“I didn’t buy it for this reason. Just do what I have to do.”


Ji-gu Yoon looked down and swallowed his saliva, which was
covered in his own saliva and melted cream. As Yun Ji-gu did
nothing and just stared, Yeo-woon, filled with sorrow, placed one
hand behind her back and opened the flesh.

“hurry….”

Yun Ji-gu’s eyes trembled at the sound of a subtly begging voice. At


that moment, I heard a sound as if something was breaking in my
head.

“Ugh…!”

Yun Ji-gu quickly stood up and pressed the head of his cock against
the flaccid hole. Since I could only use one hand, my movements
were limited. Yun Ji-gu clicked his tongue, blaming his hand for not
moving as he wanted. When I grabbed her white and soft buttocks
with both hands and pushed her in slowly, Yeo-woon would always
tremble her waist and clench her thighs. There was nothing about
him that wasn’t sexy from head to toe.

After the glans had barely penetrated all the way in, the hole
twitched and clamped down on the penis. Ji-gu Yoon traced and
played with his fingers the hole where the penis was chewing, which
was not even halfway inside, and took advantage of the moment of
relaxation to raise his waist inward.

“Ugh, bro….”

“ah…!”
The lower part of Yeowoon’s waist caved in. He is the type of person
who gets very irritated and pulls out Yoon Ji-gu’s hair when he
teases her slowly and subtly, so it was better to put everything in at
once and wait for her to get used to it before soothing him. This too
was a product of the experience I learned while tearing my hair out,
and one of the things Lee Yeo-woon taught me. Yoon Ji-gu was
already adjusting everything to Yeo-woon. I was thrilled that it was
gradually becoming his taste.

Yeowoon trembled, holding the edge of the table tightly. Ji-gu Yoon
gently massaged one buttock and waited for Yeo-woon’s tension to
ease.

How can this guy have a pretty back? The long, smooth fingers were
lovely, the plump hole, the pinkish nipples, and even the swollen
eyes from waking up early in the morning were lovely. He almost
knelt down on top of Yeowoon and kissed her shoulders and the
back of her neck countless times.

It’s pretty, I like it, I like it, I love you. At the attitude of her lover, who
was pouring out words full of affection as if he loved me to death
and couldn’t come to his senses, Yeowoon burst out laughing even
though his stomach felt full. As the back was tightened, Yoon Ji-gu
flinched and moaned. The feeling of raw flesh rubbing against the
inner walls was terrifyingly good. At the sound of Yeo-woon laughing,
Ji-gu Yoon held onto his waist with one hand, stretched out his
penis, and then plunged it in. My mouth opened as the pleasure
flowed down my spine. He rubbed his cheek against the cold glass
and squeezed his back.

“Ha, huh…!”
Ji-gu Yoon let out a small moan and put Yeo-un’s ear in his mouth. It
looked like he wanted to kiss me as he kept sucking my earlobe and
kissing the back of my neck. Yeo-woon slightly turned his upper
body, looked up at Yun Ji-gu, and stuck out his tongue. Even without
me saying anything, Jigu Yoon automatically bit down on my tongue
and sucked it. The pleasure that came from sucking and slapping
my tongue pleasantly melted away the accumulated fatigue. I felt
comfortable with the warmth covering my entire body. Yeowoon took
a deep breath and felt the sensation filling his insides.

“Huh…. Brother, ah….”

He climaxed inside me and lifted his waist slightly. It’s fast too. When
Yeo-woon muttered that in a voice mixed with laughter, Ji-gu Yun got
angry and bit his shoulder to relieve the pain. But soon, Yeo-woon
was embarrassed by the penis growing inside her again and half-
raised her body. The glass, which was cold and creepy, was a mess
thanks to the whipped cream being crushed and the moisture and
liquid left behind. When I said it was fast, Ji-gu Yun was even quick
in getting back into shape. Before I knew it, I felt the feeling that my
stomach was filling up.

“Now, wait a minute. It’s Earth.”

As I pushed him away slightly, Yun Ji-gu looked down at me again


with sad eyes. Perhaps because I have repeatedly hurt myself and
been hurt, Ji-gu Yoon has become more attached to me today than
usual. I guess I shouldn’t push him away today. I felt like if I pushed
it any further, I would start crying again.

My back trembled with a subtle upward movement, as if I was


thinking of playing one more round. Yeo-woon turned his upper body
and gently pulled the back of Yoon Ji-gu’s neck and whispered.

“Earth, let’s go to the room.”

“… I don’t want to take it out.”

“I want to see your face.”

“….”

“no?”

Ji-gu Yoon has never once failed to grant a request to me. Yeo-
woon, who thought that he was going to immediately remove his
dick and drag me to the bedroom, was startled and threw his head
back due to the fact that his penis was rubbing against the inner wall
and spinning in half a circle.

“Ah, ah!”

“Oh, does it hurt?”

Ji-gu Yoon hugged Yeo-woon and asked in embarrassment.

“No, it hurts. Ugh…!”

I felt a tingling sensation in my lower abdomen. But is this really the


strength of a person with an injured arm? Yeo-woon was unable to
hide his embarrassment as he looked at Yoon Ji-gu, who lightly
grabbed him with one hand and turned him around, then
immediately picked him up. Plus, it didn’t feel like it took much effort
to lift me. Her feet left the ground, and with no one left to rely on but
Yun Ji-gu, she automatically wrapped her arms around his neck and
hugged him. Yeowoon muttered absently.

“Why on earth didn’t you leave it out…?”

“You said it was shit that was flowing from behind.”

“….”

Hey, you crazy! This sucks even more. Every time he took a step,
the vibration and pressure on his inner walls were significant. I felt
like I was dying of disgust at why he didn’t show any signs of being
overwhelmed by his ignorance and only having so much strength.

“Yes!”

Perhaps because of the weight, the large prick pierced the deepest
part of my inner wall. Yeowoon’s body trembled as he felt his entire
body’s muscles contracting. He hugged Yun Ji-gu tightly, buried his
head in her broad shoulder, and bit into her flesh, unable to
overcome the pleasure. As if in revenge, the downward thrusting
movement became more intense.

“Ah, good….”
As Yeo-woon let out a happy moan and muttered, Yun Ji-gu walked
over to the bedroom, placed Yeo-woon on the wall, turned his head,
and kissed her. The tongue quickly dug in and licked all over the
mouth. I felt like my head was spinning every time I sucked my
tongue at him. Unable to overcome the overwhelming sensation,
Yeo-woon tightened her legs around Ji-gu Yoon’s waist and gasped.
Jigu Yoon licked up the saliva that was dripping from his mouth and
began giving short kisses all over his face.

“Hyung, haha, hug me, ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss.”

Yeo-woon hugged Yoon Ji-gu a little tighter after hearing those


words. Even though I was trapped between the wall and Yunjigu and
my back was chafing, I felt more pleasure than pain. Even though
Yun Ji-gu’s legs were twitching unconsciously, he moved roughly
without paying attention and wanted to be connected to Yeo-woon.

Yeowoon closed his eyes tightly as the pleasure spread before his
eyes. The penis that was rubbing against my stomach started to spit
out semen. Ji-gu Yun hugged Yeo-woon, frowning at the inner wall
that was tightening so much that it hurt. And then I laid down the
lingering feeling on the bed that was right in front of me, got on top
of him, and kissed him on the cheek.

“Earth.”

“Hmm, yes?”

“Wait a minute, this doesn’t work, you arm….”


Without even having time to wipe off the white cloudy liquid that had
splashed onto his stomach, Yeo-woon pushed Ji-gu Yoon away with
his foot. The thick and enormous penis naturally slipped out of the
hole. The gaping hole twitched a couple of times before finally
regaining its proper shape.

“….”

Really, it’s so stupid. Yeo-woon looked down at his fully erect penis,
glistening with various fluids, and swallowed his saliva with a slightly
tired expression. How that thing got all the way inside me was just a
mystery to my body. He grabbed the confused Yoon Ji-gu by the
shoulder, turned him around and made him sit on the bed.

“brother?”

“You hurt your arm.”

“…yes? I’m fine. It’s a little uncomfortable, but it’s no problem.”

“No, if it happens, you’ll be in big trouble.”

Yeo-woon climbed on top of Ji-gu Yoon and sat down on his abs.

“…!”

Ji-gu Yoon seemed to have realized what Yeo-woon was about to


do, and he took a deep breath. Yeo-woon sat on top of Yun Ji-gu
and unbuttoned the shirt he had taken off earlier, one by one. As
each button was undone, the pinna of my ear gradually became red.
For a moment, Yun Ji-gu’s expression hardened. He looked up at
Yeo-woon and asked.

“Brother, on your neck….”

“huh?”

Yeowoon raised his hand and scratched his neck. Yun Ji-gu’s gaze
wavered at the skin where red marks still remained. Yeo-woon tilted
his head and said as he looked at Yun Ji-gu.

“why?”

“… What’s wrong with this?”

“this? “The seam allowances on the clothes are rough.”

“…yes?”

“I got it as a birthday present from my brother, but I can’t throw


away an intact shirt…. Is it really itchy just wearing this?”

Yeowoon scratched his neck and laughed awkwardly. Only then did
Jigu Yoon realize that it wasn’t a kiss mark or anything, but a mark
created by intensive scratching on just one spot. More than anything
else, I felt relief first. I thought someone else had secretly touched a
place that even I had never left behind. Even if that were the case, I
had absolutely no intention of breaking up with Lee Yeo-woon, but I
was no longer upset. It was all my misunderstanding.
“But you.”

“yes?”

“Because the clothes are like this….”

“…?”

“It feels like I’m fucking you at a cafe.”

“Ta, ta, what?!”

As he spoke while touching the name tag hanging on his chest, Ji-gu
Yoon stuttered and took a deep breath.

“shocking. Do you always think of me like that?”

“It’s cute….”

“I can’t do it. Brother, from now on, come to our cafe seven times a
week.”

“… Don’t you want me to come every day?”

Yeo-woon played with Yun Ji-gu’s reddened ear, then came down to
her neckline and grabbed her shoulder tightly. Then I raised my free
hand and brought it behind me. In the kitchen, Yoon Ji-gu ejaculated
deep inside me, and the feeling of semen pouring down my thighs
was unpleasant.

“Ugh…!”

Ji-gu Yoon, who had been treating Yeo-woon shamelessly and


making noises, frowned and groaned. Yeowoon grabbed his penis,
which he couldn’t even fit in one hand, and placed a hole on it. As I
lowered my body in time with my inhalation and exhalation, the large
penis forced my narrowed inner wall open and entered. As I reached
the end, the outline of Yeowoon’s stomach was revealed and a faint
shadow appeared.

Yeo-woon, who slowly sat down on top of Yun Ji-gu, sighed and
looked down at Yun Ji-gu as she felt herself coming in deeper than
usual due to the nature of her posture. Yun Ji-gu was still as stiff as
stone and had an expression as if he were dreaming. Is it that
good? Yeo-woon smiled and shook Yoon Ji-gu’s hair. If I do this,
there won’t be any risk of reinforcing my injured arm, and it was
because I was bothered by the fact that I ignored his words the last
time he asked me to do it.

When I kissed the corner of the red, sunken eye, strangely enough,
there was a response from below. It was funny to see Yoon Ji-gu
twitching all the way to his genitals. Are you going to cook this
quickly again? When Yeo-woon whispered as if to provoke him, Ji-gu
Yun’s eyebrows rose up and he grabbed my waist with one hand and
jerked his dick from below. They hugged each other. For a while, the
room was filled with only the sounds of flesh clashing and moans.
***

“Tsk, there, good!”

“I like it too, hyung, huh, yes!”

I didn’t know how many hours it had already been. I sucked my lips
all the time, which made them swollen and my voice became hoarse
than usual. Because of Yoon Ji-gu’s lack of physical strength and
blindness from pleasure, and his inability to control his strength, Yeo-
woon only had a red bruise on his left waist.

A while ago, I kept feeling itchy and tingling inside my stomach. It


seemed similar to the sensation of ejaculating, but it was different
somehow. Yeo-woon touched Yun Ji-gu’s lower abdomen and leaned
her forehead against his shoulder. He had ejaculated in and out
several times, and a hideous-sized penis was stuck firmly in the wet
hole. When Yeo-woon started rubbing the felt spot and the area
around it, turning his waist in a circular motion, Yeo-woon trembled
and hugged Yun Ji-gu. Jigu Yoon sticks out his tongue between his
parted lips. Without hesitation, Yeowoon sucked his tongue.

Soon, Yoon Ji-gu ejaculated deep inside, and the semen that was
already filled came out through the gap. Yoon Ji-gu moaned low and
short and shallowly plunged himself into Yeo-woon. I said he was
fast, but he really has no conscience. Yeowoon burst into laughter at
the feeling of his body becoming hard again no matter how long it
had been since he ejaculated. As I left him alone without stopping
him, Jigu Yoon started rubbing his dick against my inner wall without
realizing the extent of it.
“…!”

It was then. Another tingling sensation came again. Even though I


had been in a relationship with Yun Ji-gu countless times, this was
the first time I felt this way. And Yeo-woon was a little afraid of that
feeling. Yeo-woon’s thing was rubbing against Yun Ji-gu’s abs,
dripping clear water. The pleasure that had been stimulating him
sharply centered on his lower abdomen is gradually becoming
shorter in duration. Afraid of what felt like irregular electrical
stimulation, Yeowoon muttered out of breath, his entire body
exhausted.

“It’s Earth.”

“Ugh, why…? huh, …Sigh!”

“I’m having a hard time. I feel like my stomach is full.”

“yes? Haha, bro….”

“ah! …Hey, I didn’t say this to provoke you. Let’s take a break for a
moment, okay?”

I muttered as if pleading, but it was unclear whether he understood


what I was saying. Yun Ji-gu was half-fazed and closed his eyes.
Feeling that Yeo-woon was wide open and had no sense of
sensation, he lifted himself up by placing his hand on Ji-gu Yoon’s
chest. Yun Ji-gu, who had been still until then, made a popping
sound and as soon as his penis came out of the hole, he grabbed
Yeo-woon’s waist and jerked him downward. He reflexively held
Yeowoon tightly on top of me.
“Huh…!”

Yeo-woon, who was sitting helplessly on Ji-gu Yun’s thighs, was


shaking her chest as the penis was stabbing her exactly at the point
she felt at the moment. The lingering sensations that had been
periodically stimulating poured out all at once like a waterfall, sharply
tearing the senses of my entire body. For a moment, Yeowoon
thought he had lost his mind.

All the muscles in my body contracted at once, and the heat surged.
The weapon inside me, the cool air, and even the hot breath on my
skin filled me with pleasure. My thighs trembled and goosebumps
appeared on my skin. Yeowoon took a deep breath and closed his
eyes, which were constantly trying to close. While I couldn’t come to
my senses from the pleasure that hit me like a wave, tears poured
down my face.

“omg…!”

“Ugh, wow, bro, what’s wrong, come to your senses… ah!”

My inner walls were all writhing and my genitals were clenching. Yeo-
woon, who had a mesmerized expression on his face as if he had
lost his mind, collapsed on top of me and trembled. Yun Ji-gu, who
suddenly hugged him, also gasped. …Come on? Lee Yeo-woon’s
penis was still swollen and was rubbing against his stomach. Ji-gu
Yoon was taken aback by the lingering feeling of a more violent
reaction than when he ejaculated even though he did not ejaculate.

The stimulation suddenly applied to my genitals, which had barely


ejaculated, was too much. Suddenly, a feeling similar to a urinary
tract came to me. I was afraid that my inner walls were chewing so
hard that I would cum inside again. Ji-gu Yoon forcibly grabbed Yeo-
woon’s waist and lifted her up. Because the muscles were so
contracted, it was not easy to even remove a finger length.

It was then. Yeo-woon shook his head and hugged Yoon Ji-gu. With
his legs weakened, he sat down on the penis that was barely free
and pressed his lips against Yun Ji-gu’s cheek.

“No, no, bro, wait a minute.”

“Huh, huh.”

“I want to go to the bathroom.”

“Ugh….”

“Brother, let it go. I’m really in a hurry!”

So far, I have ejaculated before Yeo-woon Lee dozens of times. I’m


used to being teased for cumming quickly, but peeing inside him is a
different story. It would be a hundred times better to be called
premature ejaculation. If that happened, Ji-gu Yoon might have to
leave this world in shame. Yeo-woon Lee was clinging to me with all
her might, even though her body had lost all strength.

“no…!”

Throughout the process of Yeo-woon catching his breath and barely


regaining his senses, Ji-gu Yoon tried to hold back the urge to
urinate by flexing his thighs. However, I couldn’t resist the small
spasms and stimulation of my genitals, and I ended up doing
something even an elementary school student wouldn’t do.

The inner wall of the afterglow was filled with a liquid that resembled
warm water. A stream of water shot out, hitting the inner wall hard.
Yeowoon’s eyes widened at the large amount of semen and the
unfamiliar feeling. Thin, transparent liquid mixed with thin semen
leaked out.

“….”

“….”

There was a moment of silence. Yeowoon was speechless and


closed his eyes. What was even more surprising than that was Yun
Ji-gu. He said, “Fuck, fuck.” He muttered, unable to overcome his
shame, and began to cry with his face open. The large penis slipped
out, bounced, and hit Yun Ji-gu’s stomach. The liquid that flows
down without stopping is clearly….

“Uh, fuck you….”

“…are you okay! “Earth, I’m fine!”

“Ugh….”

“It’s okay, just breathe. huh?”

It was natural that no more tears would come out after all the crying,
but Yun Ji-gu shook her shoulders and shed heavy tears again. Yeo-
woon couldn’t even meet his gaze and tried to comfort the sobbing
Yoon Ji-gu, but inside he kept some distance from him. To be
honest, it was too shocking for me to immediately understand Yun
Ji-gu, who had offended me, let alone anywhere else….

I got goosebumps as I could clearly feel the water-like liquid flowing


down my thighs. Ji-gu Yoon was speechless in shock as he moved
to the bathroom and took out everything inside.

What was really strange was that even though he was like this, he
liked Yun Ji-gu. And who else can handle a kid like this other than
me? Yeowoon decided to embrace even his mistakes.

The sound of water in the bathroom stopped only in the late


morning.

***

When I finally calmed down and came out of the bathroom,


Yeowoon was sitting on the newly made bed and fiddling with her
phone. I took out my t-shirt from the closet and put it on, and my
heart started pounding again. Ji-gu Yoon raised his hand and
pressed his chest. The strong heartbeat transmitted through the
palm of my hand was beating only towards the lingering feeling. It
was surprising that the top that fit me perfectly felt a little big to
Yeoun.
“Brother, why did you lose your coupling ring!”

“oh my.”

Yeo-woon rolled over to the edge of the bed to avoid Yoon Ji-gu. Ji-
gu Yoon raised his eyes, pretending to be angry, and grabbed Yeo-
woon’s hand and dragged her away. The lingering feeling that came
without resistance made me laugh. He acted calmly as if nothing
had happened a moment ago. I still felt like biting my tongue, but I
wondered if Yeowoon really had no thoughts or was just pretending
not to notice.

He put his phone down next to the bed. My eyes were half closed,
as if I was falling asleep. Yun Ji-gu hesitated for a moment and
asked in a low voice.

“Can you change my name?”

“Change your name?”

“No, that’s not it. … I put a heart after my brother’s name.”

“ah…That’s what it sounds like. Of course.”

Yeowoon brought back the phone he had put down and checked the
saved contacts. Unlike mine, Yeowoon had hundreds of contacts
saved on his phone. I wonder why so many people know about it,
and things like this made me jealous. The scroll went down for a
while, and it wasn’t until about halfway that Yoon Ji-gu’s name
appeared. Ji-gu Yoon was relieved to learn that other people’s
names were not marked with any special marks and were only
stored as three letters.

“Change it to what?”

“Let’s get the last name out of the way first.”

“huh.”

Yeo-woon and Sun-sun erased their last names, turning ‘Yoon Ji-gu’
into ‘Ji-gu’. Yun Ji-gu, who abandoned his parents’ surname, was
insatiable at this point.

“Please just put two hearts on the back.”

“That’s a bit…but… . It’s hard to answer the phone when you’re with
people at work.”

“Why is that difficult?”

“You always call me at company dinners, and when people see me,
they’ll make fun of me for an hour, asking if you’re my lover. Then
it’s annoying.”

That made sense. All eyes are focused on Lee Yeo-woon for an
entire hour. That shouldn’t happen. It would be a big deal if someone
other than me found out that Lee Yeo-woon was pretty. Yun Ji-gu
thought for a moment and spoke bluntly.
“Then add the emoticon you want to add.”

“Umm….”

Yeowoon was searching the keyboard as if it was more difficult, but


at one point he thought, ‘This is it,’ and chose the emoticon without
hesitation.

‘Earth★’

“how is it?”

Yeo-woon looked back at Yoon Ji-gu and gave him an expectant


look. Yun Ji-gu, who was trying to scold her by asking what this was,
could only nod as soon as she could make eye contact. I didn’t really
like it, but I felt like I had to be satisfied with the fact that it was the
only name with a special symbol among the three bleak letters.

“But why bother telling me and changing it? “It didn’t matter if you
changed it however you wanted.”

“Your password is on.”

“password? “It’s your birthday?”

“…yes?”

“It’s 0709. You can look.”


Change your password to my birthday…Did you do it? The moment
he heard those words, an emotion similar to embarrassment
appeared on Jigu Yoon’s face. Lee Yeo-woon, who set my birthday
as a password without saying anything, was a really strange person.
Yun Ji-gu thought that no matter what he did to me, thinking about
this moment, she would be able to forgive him. After realizing that all
the misunderstandings were just useless worries, I felt relieved. And
what was left was disappointment and sorry for myself for not
believing in Yeo-woon.

“I’m sorry for the misunderstanding. I am….”

“what. I won’t hide anything from you from now on.”

“…I did it because I was anxious. I’m afraid my brother is tired of


me. I think my brother can live well without me…. Because I’m not.
That’s not possible, I….”

Jigu Yoon spoke gibberish. Just before he fell into the abyss of
shoveling again, Yeowoon unexpectedly pulled his cheek and
brought him back to reality. Yun Ji-gu, whose cheek was pulled hard,
forced Yeo-woon into eye contact.

“I told you, I will never tire of you.”

“Absolutely not.”

“I never throw away anything that comes into my hands.”


“What if you get used to it? So, if I get bothered…. What should I do
if I get sick of it and want to throw it away?”

Ji-gu Yoon knew that he was behaving poorly. I hated seeing myself
like this. Even though I knew that, I had a gut feeling that I had to
bring it up now. Yeowoon tilted his head at what I said and asked.

“I’m used to it, so why throw it away? Once you get used to it, it’s
yours from then on. Then you have to save it, why bother?”

“….”

“I will never abandon you, Earth.”

Yeo-woon said the words that Ji-gu Yun had been hoping for. The
moment Yoon Ji-gu heard those words, he felt relieved that Yeo-
woon would truly take responsibility for him until the end. His words
were like magic. With just one word, a person’s mood goes between
hell and heaven, so it’s all said and done. My life is already over.
Whether I wanted it or not, I gave my whole life to Yeo-woon Lee.

“So don’t be anxious.”

“yes.”

“Are you done now?”

“yes.”
“then….”

“B-but what should I do if I still feel anxious?”

Yun Ji-gu was embarrassed that he kept pouting at his words, so he


just glanced at Yeo-woon. Yeo-woon did not laugh at himself as an
idiot and thought about it seriously. He blinked his pretty eyes,
thought for a moment, and told me the conclusion he had come to.

“Then tell me honestly that you’re dying of anxiety. Like today.”

“Can I tell you?”

“then. Just start a fight. After we fight about it, let’s resolve it like we
did today.”

“…Are you fighting?”

Yeowoon nodded his head slowly.

“We were strangers not long ago, and our personalities and ways of
thinking are very different. So, of course, as you go along,
disagreements and misunderstandings may arise.”

“But you can’t not fight…?”

“And then it piled up. This is a process of understanding and


adjusting to each other. So that we can be more comfortable….”
“….”

“I’ll try my best too, Earth.”

Surprisingly, those words made me feel a lot more at ease. Fighting


no longer seemed to have only negative connotations. As you live,
you experience things naturally. It was like the price it took for
people to learn from each other.

“all right.”

“love you.”

“….”

Just hearing this makes me cry again. Why is it that I love you? The
more you listen to it, the more you become accustomed to it and the
more precious it becomes. Those words were more reassuring than
any other answer.

me too. me too.

Ji-gu Yoon swallowed the words he couldn’t say due to his throat
being blocked, and nodded, holding Yeo-woon’s hand tightly.

“good night.”

“huh. My brother too.”


“Dream of me?”

“Da, don’t tangle your legs.”

“no.”

“Oh really.”

Anyway, even if he attacked me again now, I had absolutely no


intention of dealing with him, so I only chose to do things to provoke
people. Yeowoon soon fell asleep first. Perhaps because it was well
past his usual bedtime, he fell asleep right away.

“….”

Yun Ji-gu turned to his right and looked at Yeo-woon’s sleeping face
for a long time. Even while he was asleep, he didn’t let go of my
hand. Yun Ji-gu felt like crying for no reason, so he rubbed his cheek
against Yeo-woon’s hand.

‘It’s warm.’

The heat that had gathered in my chest spread gently. The lingering
feeling makes me want to become more mature. It makes you want
to change. I still couldn’t believe how this person came to me.

***
Tilong.

Jigu Yoon suddenly opened his eyes to the unfamiliar sound effect.
As soon as I opened my eyes, I saw a lingering sight of me with my
legs bound and groaning. Ji-gu Yoon gently lowered Yeo-woon’s
upturned leg in his sleep. It was only then that Yeo-woon looked
relaxed, as if he felt comfortable, and it was strange to see him.

Tilong.

“…?”

It was the same sound effect again. Anyway, why is this the only
thing that opens my eyes? Yun Ji-gu found it strange that his vision
was only half as wide as usual, and turned his head towards the
sound.

‘5 answers have been registered to ㅁㄴㅇㄹ(dldud

***

*)’s question.’

The identity of the sound was Lee Yeo-woon’s cell phone. Ji-gu Yoon
jumped over Yeo-woon’s body, sat down on the edge of the bed, and
clicked on the notification on his phone. A message popped up
asking me to unlock the main screen to confirm. When I entered my
birthday, ‘0709’, on the empty window, the lock was unlocked and
the Internet window filled the screen.

Ji-gu Yoon’s expression, who had been scrolling mindlessly,


suddenly hardened.

[Inner Strength 500] [Adult] My lover can’t urinate during sex.

Hello, I am writing this because I have been worried about my sex


life recently….

My lover is a healthy adult male who is 24 years old and will soon be
25 years old.

It’s no different, she usually does it four or five times a day without
any problems and has no problems with her sex life at all, but today
it seemed like her lover suddenly urinated during intercourse. .;;

In fact, we had been misunderstanding for over a week and today


we reconciled and started a relationship, but I am worried that
psychological issues may have been at play. To be honest, I was a
little surprised, but there was no strange smell and my lover was
very embarrassed, so I reassured him that it was okay.

But even while showering, he doesn’t make eye contact with me and
looks intimidated. Perhaps the psychological aspect was burdening
you while you were going through a difficult time? I only had to cum
once, but it’s not a baby and I’m worried about what will happen if it
continues like this. I can’t tell you it’s okay every time that
happens…. Actually, I’m not okay either.
Is there a problem with my boyfriend’s health? Is this urinary
incontinence? Can urinary incontinence suddenly occur during
intercourse? Is it normal to have urinary incontinence even with an
erection? I’m curious if there are any good foods or exercise
methods.

And I guess I should say that it would be a good idea to go to the


hospital, right?

“….”

Fuck!

Ji-gu Yoon swallowed a curse in his mind to avoid breaking the


lingering mood. Yesterday, he treated me like nothing had happened,
but it seemed like he was pretending to be out of consideration and
concern. In fact, he was so embarrassed that he cared so much that
he wanted to die. Why are there so many answers to this question?

⤷ [Answer] Re: My lover is in a relationship….

Hello, you were curious about urinary incontinence!

Urinary incontinence refers to the involuntary flow of urine when


abdominal pressure suddenly increases. There are many ways to
relieve urinary incontinence. It is recommended to lose weight that
increases abdominal pressure, control water intake, and strengthen
pelvic muscles through Kegel exercises. (Source: Rootwiki)
There were also answers that pasted information roughly scraped
from the Internet.

⤷ [Answer] Re: My lover is in a relationship….

The best solution to male diseases such as erectile dysfunction is to


eat foods that are good for stamina. However, dieting is not easy
because you have to stick to it consistently and for a long time to be
effective, right?^^

There is a product prepared for such people. It is ‘Baldakseo’, an


imported nutritional supplement and male sexual enhancement drug

⤷ [Answer] Re: My lover is in a relationship….

Break up. What kind of sex can you have with a guy who can’t even
take a break? Because I did it. Tsk…

If it were me, I would have broken up a hundred times.

“Aren’t you going to delete the answer?”

This dog was the worst. What is breaking up! My brother says it’s
okay, but this bastard knows nothing and knows how to talk as he
pleases. Ji-gu Yoon looked for a function to delete replies by
scrolling up and down, but unfortunately, such a thing did not exist
yet. However, reporting was possible, so all applicable items were
checked one by one and reported ten times.

Hello, this is <No Specialist>, the #1 answer in the #Urology


category.

In any case, if urine-like liquid suddenly comes out during


intercourse and it does not have a distinctive odor, there is a
possibility that it is not urine. It is also called fountain or male
squatting, and for men it is closer to love juice than urine. Although it
is extremely rare, this symptom often appears in men as well.

It looks like your boyfriend was in a bad mood~ (*^^*)

It’s not urine, and there’s nothing wrong with your health, so you
don’t have to worry.

“…uh?”
Ji-gu Yoon, who had reported all the previously registered answers,
was agitated when he saw the only answer that contained any
information. As I read it, I thought it might be possible. This person
must be an expert. A doctor or an acquaintance of a doctor.
Anyway, I was able to bet that Jihyuk Yoon was someone who
worked in the medical field. In less than a minute after reading the
article, Ji-gu Yoon came to have blind faith in the respondent and
shook the lingering spirits awake.

“Brother, wake up. brother? Wake up. brother. brother? brother!”

“…what?”

Yeo-woon looked up at herself with sleepy eyes, pulled the blanket


up a little more and muttered.

“My lover, the carp is done.”

“Me?”

“Is it because you cried so much yesterday? “Your eyes are really
swollen, you.”

“…!”

oh my god. When told that he was swollen, Yoon Ji-gu, who is


always advised to show only his handsome appearance, hurriedly
squatted down, hiding his face in his arms. If I had known this would
happen, I would have gone out and washed my face and come back
to wake him up, but I was so distracted that I didn’t think of that.
Yeo-woon didn’t pay any attention to Yun Ji-gu’s flustering behavior,
and the corners of his mouth became watery as if he was just
finding him so funny.

“What were you doing?”

“Ah, this. I woke up because I heard a strange sound….”

Ji-gu Yoon made an excuse that he had never secretly searched


Yeo-woon’s cell phone and held it out to Yeo-woon. Yeowoon half-
raised his body and picked up his cell phone. He slowly scrolled
down and began to read the answers.

“There’s everything….”

It was a voice that seemed amazed at learning new information. Yun


Ji-gu was so embarrassed that he wiggled his toes and cleared his
throat. Yeowoon slowly read all the answers, then put his phone
down on the bed and mumbled in his sleep.

“I heard you didn’t pee.”

“… Of course!”

“thank god….”

I was really worried because I thought it was because of me.


Yeowoon opened his mouth to yawn and muttered that he was
worried about himself. Since morning, my heart has been tickling as
if a feather was inside my heart.
“Come on.”

“oh!”

“Let’s sleep a little longer….”

I’m feeling sleepy. Yeo-woon lay down on the bed again, hugging
Yun Ji-gu, and closed his eyes. Yun Ji-gu was hugged by him, lying
as stiff as a piece of wood, and her face blushed.

Today was truly the best Christmas Eve of my life!


#Hidden Track.
It’s So Soft

People call creatures like me cats.

Among them, my name is ‘Go away’.

Other nicknames include ‘thief cat’, ‘butterfly’, ‘baby-cat’, and ‘dirty’.

I quite like the name ‘Go Away’. This is because my mother, who
looked exactly like me, was often called by the same name. I chose
my own name among many others.

Mom said that humans give cats names. I didn’t understand why
humans made up our own names, but anyway, I came up with the
name ‘Go Away’.

‘go away’….

What does it mean? I don’t know what it means, but I really like it.
Since the mother is also called that, it seems to be a name given
only to the world’s coolest, most handsome and best hunting cat.

The day I inherited my mother’s name for the first time, I was left
alone.
***

The gang of gangly cats living under the blue roof are truly unlucky.
In particular, ‘Pig’, the leader among them, did not have a good
relationship with his mother from the beginning. Maybe that’s why
‘pigs’ tend to inflate their size and make threats whenever they see
me. He must be jealous of my noble and elegant appearance and
my youthful spirit. If I were in another cat’s shoes, I would have seen
the shiny fur and stamped my front paws, wanting it.

Maybe the ‘pig’ is jealous of my name, ‘Go away’. ‘Pig’ hates his own
name. He claims he doesn’t have a name, but…. From what I heard
from the yellow old lady at the playground, she is a ‘pig’. How can a
grown cat not even know his own name?

However, there are many more cats in this neighborhood without


names. In fact, most people seemed to have names but couldn’t
remember them. I guess cats as smart as me are rare.

***

An old human lives in a blue roof house. The human doesn’t say
anything when other cats approach, but whenever he sees me, he
runs out holding a broom and calling my name. Why only me? Am I
too young a cat to be qualified to go in there yet?

In response to my question, Jeombokki said, ‘It’s all because you


take after your mother when you’re young.’ It’s because my fur is
black like my mother’s. Humans often have a bad opinion of black
cats….

But why? What’s wrong with my hair? If you look closely, they’re not
completely black, but my feet are slightly white. Can’t you see this?
An old, ugly, smelly, bald human with only three strands of hair. Why
are you blaming me for something you can’t see because your eyes
are blind?

I am a lonely, cool cat, ‘Go away’.

I don’t really have any intention of showing off to people, but I was
angry that people only hated me, so I felt sad for no reason.

***

After taking a long walk, I found a place that was not affected by the
Blue Roof Cat gang. Meanwhile, wherever the food was placed, the
gang was guarding it with their eyes lit, so I couldn’t even dare to
approach….
The human who prepared the new supply station does not try to
touch me arbitrarily like other humans. Don’t yell at me or call me
names. Although I felt uneasy about the eyes watching me from
afar, I didn’t feel bad as I filled my stomach for the first time in a
while. That person is someone who knows how to understand a
topic. I thought highly of that and decided to come back for a meal
tomorrow as well.

***

I also met a human with black fur. Every time that person sees me,
he makes a strange expression from far away. Still, his hunting skills
aren’t that bad for a human, and I like the fact that he doesn’t make
a fuss at me like other humans do.

Today, I appointed that person as my subordinate.

***

The load always appears when the sun sets over the top of the blue
roof. He then leaves some food and water at the supply station and
waits for me for a while before leaving. When I feel like it, I rob a
supply depot in front of my subordinates, but most of the time I hide
in secret and wait for my subordinates to leave.

***

I know I shouldn’t trust people carelessly, but…It seems that my


subordinate is not the kind of person who would harm a cat.

***

For the first time, my subordinate raised his front paw and stroked
my fur. It was annoying, but I just left it alone. The subordinate, who
had been stroking me with his paw and wiping my eyes with his
fingers, watched me from a distance when I became irritated. The
subordinate’s skill in retrieving food is quite useful.

***
Today, while my subordinate was watching me, another human
surprised him from behind. The subordinate screamed. The angry
face is similar to the people who called me to ‘go away’.

Me, I’m not afraid of my subordinates at all. I just don’t want to see
my subordinate being bullied here…. My subordinates would not
want to show me such an ugly image.

As a very loyal cat, I left, promising to wait until tomorrow.

***

In the evening, the subordinate places a new feeder at the supply


station and brings water. however…Lately, it seems like my
subordinates have become attached to a strange person. This is the
strange person from last time. A few days ago, I saw a subordinate
running away screaming from that person.

The brown-haired human is smaller than his subordinates, but


seems to be stronger than them. How can you do that? I want to
become strong like that too! Could it be that my subordinates are
bullied like me among humans? Now that I think about it, I don’t
think I’ve ever seen my subordinate walking around with other
humans.
It’s pitiful…. I decided to do better starting tomorrow.

***

It seems that the location of the supply depot was discovered by the
Blue Roof Cat gang. The ‘pig’ ate all the food that my subordinate
had hunted for me. That’s mine! I need to run away so that time
doesn’t overlap.

Anyway, the playground grandmother has not been seen since a few
days ago. The only cat that treated me like a kitten so far was my
grandmother…. Maybe that’s why the playground without that old
lady feels empty and awkward. ‘Spotted’ said that humans picked up
the limp grandmother and took her somewhere.

I think it’s similar to when my mom did it. Was grandma also in a
deep sleep? Am I not waking up? I will never see that old lady again.

***
I got hit by a ‘pig’. I feel resentful that I was defeated by that bully
cat without even being able to attack him properly. That gang is truly
a gang of thugs. Either put me in there too….

Actually, I want to be a bully cat too. I want to go around beating up


random cats. I want to become stronger. I also want to become a
cool cat that hunts its own food…. The reality is that without
subordinates and supply stations, you can’t eat anything all day and
starve. I miss my mom today.

***

My subordinate caught me today and muttered something in human


language. Stupid subordinate. It seemed like he still didn’t
understand that I had to use cat language to understand what I was
saying. To be honest, I had no idea what the subordinate was
saying, but it seemed like he was asking why I was hurt.

I am a fairly quiet and loyal cat. Even though they don’t get along
well with ‘pigs’, they are not mean-spirited cats that teach humans
about other cats’ mistakes. My subordinate was not a person who
would harm cats, but there was no harm in being careful. I heard
that there are many evil people who kidnap cats and take them
somewhere.

I kept the secret until the end. ‘Pig’ should be thankful to me for this.
***

I believed it! I believed it! You, too, were human after all. I didn’t trust
humans!

I have been kidnapped by humans who used to be my subordinates


and am locked in a box with a foul smell. The smell of other animals
is unpleasantly clear. I feel like I fell asleep for a short while and
woke up with pain between my legs. There’s a strange circle on his
neck, so he can’t even straighten his hair. How did it end up like
this? It’s so miserable. There is also white tissue wrapped around
the front paw where the ‘pig’ scratched. I’m falling asleep again. I
have no strength in my whole body…. It’s so dark and lonely here.

***

It seems like a human has brought me into his home. I really was
kidnapped. As soon as I landed in an unfamiliar space, I didn’t even
look back and hid in the corner all day long to see if there was
anything dangerous. But strangely, this is a place where there are no
other cats, water does not suddenly fall from the sky, and above all,
there are no gangs of ‘pigs’.
And the human keeps talking persistently as if he has something to
say to me. But I’m sorry. I’ve already closed my heart to you. I will
never again call that scum who hurt me my subordinate.

***

wow! My subordinate gave me some really delicious food! the best!


If there was something like this, I would have given it to you a long
time ago. Why didn’t you give it to me until now?

I decided to generously accept my subordinate’s request for


reconciliation!

***

My subordinates have been calling me ‘Yoonposong’ since


sometime. My name is ‘Go away’…. I felt like he was
misunderstanding something, so I told my subordinate my cool
name, but he makes a fuss every time I talk to him. I don’t know if
he doesn’t understand what I’m saying, or if he’s just pretending not
to know.
Mom said that humans give cats names. My subordinate is a
human, and my subordinate, who is a human, calls me ‘Yoon Po-
song’, so from today, my name becomes ‘Yun Po-song’.

I don’t feel like it, but this is something that can’t be helped. Because
my subordinates are the only humans here.

But what does ‘Yoonposong’ mean? Is it better than ‘Go away’?

***

My subordinate threw me into slippery water with a strange scent.


Then he pulled my front paw and rubbed my fur, damaging it. I was
so angry that I threw a nuclear fist at my subordinate. When I came
to my senses, I saw traces of my attack left on my subordinate’s
legs.

As a strong cat, I felt helpless and pitiful for my subordinate. As a


human being, he was so weak that he couldn’t even protect his own
body properly. Even though my subordinate was beaten like that, he
didn’t get angry because he liked me. Instead, he patted me and
served me delicious food.

Hey, how are you going to live without me? I pretended to lick the
wounds I had made, and my subordinate laughed. I can’t believe he
was so happy even though he licked it once or twice because it was
annoying. My subordinate is an easy guy.

***

My subordinate goes out once a day to hunt for food, and when he
comes home and doesn’t see me, he keeps ‘pouting’. At that time,
when I come out from hiding and surprise my subordinate, he is
surprised and loves it.

‘Yoonposong’.

I think my new name is a little cooler than the name I used before.
The person who gave me a new name, well…. The best among
humans.

***

I had to re-plan my day in a very different way. Climb the tower and
look at the sky, and when the time comes, jump on the subordinate’s
boat and wake him up. My subordinates give me more food than
when I lived outside. And sometimes, when I ask for more rice, he
calls me ‘pig’. ‘Pig’ is the one who made me like this! Whenever that
happens, I throw a warning punch to my subordinate.

***

When I was living on the street, a brown-haired human who had


been harassing my subordinate appeared at his house. Maybe it’s
because he’s a person my subordinate really hates, but I don’t really
like him either. I wish I could get out of my area right away. I glared
at him for a long time in the dark house. Even if the sky falls, I will
never get close to that person.

***

wow! Brown-haired humans are quite good at picking out their fur.
My subordinate’s front paws were so uncomfortable that I ended up
having to trim them again…. After much thought, I said today that I
would adopt a brown-haired human as my exclusive hairdresser.
The human who heard my words looked very happy.

It’s an honor to be the groomer for such a wonderful cat.


***

It seems that the subordinate and the hairdresser have reconciled. I


think at first, whenever I saw a hairdresser, I would run away like I
did when I saw a ‘pig’. Now, if it’s a day when the hairdresser comes,
I wake up in the morning, straighten my hair, and keep looking at the
clock.

Now that I think about it, I’m not a bad hairdresser either. That
person has sharp paws and, above all, is someone his subordinates
like. Above all, my subordinates are people I may never meet again
in my life, and if I don’t dislike them, I don’t need to be wary of them.

Subordinates sometimes do strange things. It’s a very meaningless


thing where they attach the muzzle to me and then remove it, and
my subordinates sometimes do that to their hairdressers. It seems
that the hairdresser is as important to my subordinates as I am.

Is the relationship between those people the same as between me


and ‘Spotted’? Spotted was my only friend. Sometimes my
subordinates pick up the scent of other cats, but as an adult, I don’t
get angry over such trivial things. I wish my subordinates would take
care of ‘Spotted’ instead of me, who has now achieved success.
***

“Mr. Posong Yoon. Why are you talking to yourself like that?”

beautiful person-.

“Do you like it if I touch your head?”

Wow.

“You also look like your owner, so it makes a lot of sense….”

what?

“…brother.”

“Posong, look at him. He said he was upset again.”

“What are you doing there alone?”

“Brother, are you going? “Your master is calling.”

Nyah.

“Yeah, why did you call me?”


“… You knew I was staring at you from before.”

“huh.”

“But why do you always play with Posong?”

“Why are you jealous of Posong? “Are you a cat?”

“No, what kind of jealousy are you…? It’s really absurd. That’s not it.
He’s with me for the first time in a while, but he keeps paying
attention to my cat. I can’t even see you, what do you mean?”

It was then. The hairdresser raised his head and briefly bumped the
snout and then removed it, and the subordinate froze in place with
his mouth wide open.

That…Are you angry? no. It seems similar to the expression of an


angry human, but is somehow different. In contrast, the hairdresser
was smiling with her eyes closed. It was obvious from the look on his
face that he was dying of fun. There was no doubt that he was
harassing his subordinate.

Should I go and scold him? …Well, it’s annoying…. Let’s just leave it
alone.

“Earth, no matter how jealous I am of Posongi, what should I do if I


beat the dough like this?”

“Seriously, don’t talk like this. What number is this? You promised to
focus only on me on the weekend. Did you forget? “Is it a goldfish?”
“Should I sleep in today?”

“…

“Is that okay?”

“…That’s good. You can do whatever you want, as much as you


want. Sleep… Go to sleep.”

What, have they already reconciled? Sometimes, it seemed like they


were getting along well, but it wasn’t. Still, I can’t understand their
behavior in sharing each other’s territory. Humans seem to be such
strange creatures.

“no! “I just don’t want to sleep.”

“yes? Why again?!”

“I forgot because I’m a goldfish.”

“….”

“Why are you complaining about what I did well again?”

Again. The hairdresser laughs and teases his subordinate. The


subordinate alone has muscles around his eyes trembling and his
facial expression is very strange. I felt like I had heard something
very insulting. What on earth are they always talking about except
me? It would be nice to say it so that even cats can understand.
“Earth, is Posong looking at us pitifully again?”

“…That’s not the problem. Are you going to sleep?”

“If you kiss me.”

“…?”

The subordinate suddenly attacked the hairdresser as if he were


going to eat him and began to take revenge. I was always on the
receiving end, but now I know how to fight back…. You’re all grown
up.

I climbed up on the tall tower above the living room and looked out
the window, leaving the two humans nuzzling each other. As the
sunlight hit me, my ears naturally fluttered and my eyes closed.
From afar, two humans could be heard whispering and laughing.

Today was an extremely ordinary day with nothing special about it.
