The Guild Member Next Door - Volume 2.1
#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? “He has 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 her lips so as not to lose the concept of her being healthy, good at work, and polite that she had captured when she joined the company. The corner of her 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 continued talking to himself 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?

‘Nyannyangnanyang 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 she came in, without even saying hello, she suddenly wondered what was going on.
[Party] neutaaaa: haha
[Party] Cat Meow Meow Meow: 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 with him, 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, Meownyangnyangyang, wearing black cat ears, and Wanduwandyah, who was riding in a light green slime ball gate, ran behind him. 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 she saw the peas inside the round slime ball bounce 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. Although it seemed like a very unnecessary worry to her, she was still thankful. 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. Gaemang game. 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 has suddenly started happening. It’s very difficult to filter out people without level cuts.
There was something I heard very little from Earth Star. As she looked back on her memories, Yeo-woon asked again if what she 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 her 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 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 Yeowoon pretended to know, Wandu Wandya sympathized with my story by adding ten exclamation marks to her.
[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. She felt like she should take some medicine today and sleep well.
[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 bed. She blinked at the white ceiling for a while, and just as she was coming in, she heard the sound of the elevator arriving followed by the sound of the door next to her slamming shut.
“… … “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 he opened the door to go out for a moment, the man who had been waiting after pressing the elevator button got startled and immediately ran away into the 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. His throat was raw.
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 some 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 she didn’t think there was an answer to put her 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 he went to the valley with his friends, he was teased more than once for playing alone with a tube instead of dog swimming. He was strangely happy to hear the sound of a pen drawing on paper. 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. Then he looked at his phone for a while with an expressionless expression, and then his mouth twitched and he laughed bitterly. 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 her mouth and slightly raised her hand. She said it was okay to say hello to her last time… . However, rather than accepting Yeo-woon’s greeting, the man frowned at her as soon as his eyes met and quickly began running 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 its 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 due to the movement speed and cooldown of Nasu’s skills being 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: ㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗㅗ”
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? She grunted 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… . Yeo-woon sighed inwardly, lamenting her man’s poor 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. He then put his hand into the pocket of the man’s hood who was pressing the door lock password, completely 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. She expected a response of telling her to get away with it, but Yeo-woon was internally relieved to see a more limited response than she 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’ll probably run into 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 that 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, then pressed the last number on the door lock and went inside the house. Still, seeing as she didn’t return the macaron, she must have wanted to eat it.
‘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 involuntarily 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 she was in college, she lived in a dormitory for a while, but it wasn’t even a motel, and there was a senior in her class above her who brought someone with her every day and made noises in the middle of the night. She hadn’t even seen the sight in person, but the sound made her so stressed that she 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. If she doesn’t tell anyone that she thought the same thing anyway, 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. It seemed like it was fun, so Nyannyangnyangnyang, who was nearby, 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: There are 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 such tastes, and she enjoyed playing with the front door open, and Earth Star found out about it. And she stalked him and finally confessed 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 perverts get more excited if they react 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. She felt 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. When Yeo-woon said that she couldn’t float, the swimming instructor snorted, saying that couldn’t be possible. But when he saw Yeo-woon sinking from the waist down, he looked embarrassed and advised her that she should take all the strength out of her body.
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? “He’s not even a child?”
“This is a place where only children come in.”
“Eh. “My older sister is in the sixth 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, running his palm across his face.
“… … .”
“… … .”
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 Yeo-woon lowers her head in the water and practices breathing techniques, she looks up and sees the man next door looking at her. Of course, it was only a moment and she quickly turned her 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 her 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 while, he stayed 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 thought he would 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. He 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 her head. 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 his wary expression. 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 his body, 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, he didn’t think it was that strange, but the people who were socializing when he went into the water first started whispering. 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. He said the water was a bit cold, but it was no different from the original swimming pool water. Moreover, she said that she had been swimming for so long that she was half a master by herself, so if she 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. He even felt a little intimidating due to the considerable height difference. 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. He wondered why a man who was so wary of me that he even ran away to avoid him 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. She felt like she now had a rough idea of how to deal with 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 back, did a backstroke, and swam away.
“… … .”
“… … .”
I tried not to look, but I couldn’t stop my head from slowly turning. When Yeo-woon’s gaze landed between her man’s legs, her large palm covered Yeo-woon’s eyes. It was so sudden that she made a sound, causing Yeo-woon’s shoulders to shake 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 would 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 dumped her Yeoung in the kiddie pool and made her practice doing her kicks while holding on to the wall, while her Yeo Yun was once again surrounded by her elementary school students. The children are as simple as they are young, so we 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 waited for him in the shower room together and washed himself with a long towel wrapped around his waist.
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, with all the nerves in her body tense, leisurely passed by the man who was covering her body.

‘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. He was a chatterbox, often asking people for trading prices, and even asking for someone to go hunting with him. 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 so lameㅡㅡ
[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 as she moved into the guild room. Unlike the ghost guild she had heard of before, the guild room had guild crops growing on one side, and furniture that no one knew who had decorated was cutely placed. Except for the guild members who went out separately to do their business, the rest of the guild members were all sitting huddled 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. While Yeowoon was collecting cabbage items in the crop field, she turned around and used the ‘bowing down’ emoticon. She was one of the emoticons that Earth Star handed over, saying she had already acquired it a while 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 when I went hunting at a party, 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: Tskkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk
[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 her memory a story about how Yeowoon 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. She said that in the process, they even went to the SNS account of one of the guild members and made a fuss. I couldn’t infer that it was serious enough to force people to move from where they lived.
[Guild] ㅈi9Star: 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.
[Whispering] ㅈi9 Byul: Hahaha what did you mean hahahaha
[Whisper] ㅈi9 Byul: You’re really worried about me><?ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[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 he went into the Hall Blue app, he 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 into her screen with her eyes wide open. The Earth character, still seated, catches her eye.
‘It’s very surprising.’
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 exact 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? But she didn’t seem to need to say, ‘I’m surprised you didn’t act as well as I thought.’ So Yeo-woon just shut her mouth.
“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 changing your mind? 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. Yeo-woon, who was listening to her story, was a little embarrassed by the sudden lower tone of her 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 criticized.
They discriminate against people by setting a fee cut, factions have already formed in the guild, ostracizing and ostracizing 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 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, he fought with his eldest brother and tried to leave the house.
“You had a fight?”
-That guy always says something about what I eat. He will take care of himself… . He got annoyed and said he would just 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, she said it wasn’t enough to send a few pieces of mail, but I almost got her real mom killed for it. She also included a note telling her not to reveal herself to me. If that’s not a threat to her life, what is?
As Yeo-woon 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 conversation, but she answered by nodding her head.
“little?”
-Wow, it’s true… ?
He muttered to himself. It seemed quite surprising that Yeo-woon agreed that he was right to be 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. Does he not know what he has done? Yeowoon burst into laughter and asked.
“Earthstar, do you really like me?”
-yes? Am I crazy?
No, then why? Yeowoon took her hand away from the mouse with a troubled look on her 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: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 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 Meow Meow Meow: 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. She pressed the accept button, but since Yeo-woon 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 hahahaha.
[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 her 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 in the chat window was activated again and that the number of dating days had been reset to 0, 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 she explained that it was a business relationship, she was a little annoyed and wondered why she had to say something like this.
[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: Hahahahahahahahahaha
[Guild] Park Hwi Bug: Earth Star, please don’t swear in a whisper ㅜㅜ
‘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 discouraged, Yeo-woon sighed, pulled the earphones out of her ears, and closed her 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. He was the guy next door. The ends of his black hair were still wet and clumped as he came out after drying 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 his 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 rose, his eyes began to waver slightly, and soon the corners of 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 kept sighing 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 his head to the right and looked up at him. It was surprising, but it was my first time seeing her face so close. The black dot under her left eye was particularly noticeable to her. Yeo-Woon, who was distracted by the face that caught her attention, stopped her steps and stared at him. Then the man waved his hand with a puzzled look.
“Do you want an umbrella?”
umbrella? Yeowoon pulled the hand holding his 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 water pooling on the floor, he felt a sloshing sensation every time he 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 towards me. The man noticed his gaze and glanced at himself.
“why.”
huh? I have nothing to say? Yeowoon shook her head without saying a word. I put my hand in her pocket and grabbed her candy. It’s been a week since she kept it in her pocket because she always forgot to put it in her office drawer. Yeowoon opened her wrapper, put a candy in her 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 her head.
“… … 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 her head roughly, humming to herself the sound of a song coming from a store she 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. She looked nothing like the sharp-faced man, but given the circumstances, she could guess that he was his mother. The man appears 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, this isn’t 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 her, watching her walk away with a still embarrassed look on her face. He took the elevator up to his house, looked at the door next to his house, 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 tooㅠㅠ
[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. I heard 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 by 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…’ .’ All she could think about was staring blankly at the monitor.
‘ㅈi9Star has accessed the game.’
[Guild] Halloween Branch: It’s late today
[Guild] Cat Meow Meow Meow: Hahaha
[Guild] ㅈi9 Star: Hehe
[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. The members of the Poseidon Guild 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. He 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… . Yeo-woon repeatedly muttered different types of bread in response to her name, which he could barely 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 after, 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. Yeo-woon shook her 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. 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 let out a sigh and let her shoulders slump. 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 grunted 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 her screen with her 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 first to the left 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. She then held in her hand the disposable firework item she had been saving in the consumption window and pulled.
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: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha 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 was suddenly mixed in with the background sound of the game, Yeowoon widened her eyes and looked at the Hall 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? In her embarrassment, Yeo-woon stood still and ran away to a corner where the Earth Star did not enter 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 her mouth shut and decided to keep her thoughts to herself 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 her 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 her 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. He was in the same situation as when he became a Shadow Warrior. Another problem was that he had been hunting for several days and had not found any hero weapons.
-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 Liquor’ were 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 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 stared at her chat window with bated breath, worried that something serious was about to 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.” In the meantime, it seems that Cathynyangnanyang 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 still and tapped her microphone with her finger, pretending to have a bad connection. At that time, she suddenly burst out laughing, making the sound of the Earth Star sighing.
“… … ?”
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.
Guys, there was no Newta.
?
Hahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Haha congratulations hahahaha
(picture)
The photos Halloween Branch sent included congratulatory messages from guild members who were not currently connected to the game.
Hahahahahahahaha I’m really, really sorry I forgot to invite you to the group chat room.
Of course I thought you were participating haha.
Congratulations once again on your job change hahaha Qㅠㅠㅠㅠ
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 so 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 her. She must have been somewhere briefly while Yeowoon was making her items.
‘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 in her 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 herself and reminded herself of her 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. Her ears were itchy 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: Oh, 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. Her job as a chef is to create food items and sell them to users at a restaurant, so until she got used to the illusion, she did nothing and only made long spear items. In the process, she was able to get a black cloak cheaply while browsing 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 Wanda: If I didn’t decorate it at all, I would 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’ll 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: Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
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 her weapon, the guild members who were just laughing for a while raised question marks above her head.
[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 her 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 it 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 for her with the money he had left at the fashion shop and then jumped off the roof of her palace.
-Where are you going?
“… … .”
Yeo-woon ran toward the makeup shop without answering Ji-gu-byeol’s words. Because it was obvious that she would make fun of me no matter how much I saw her. 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 possessed, and his 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 squeezed her eyes shut, said her prayers to a god she didn’t even believe in, and pressed her 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. Her helpless-looking face seemed to resemble someone else’s. I liked her in her own way. As my face and hair changed, I began 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 went into a fashion shop and clicked on everyday clothes to try on the character. She clicked on ‘Unemployed Worker’s Training Clothes’ and was excited because she thought 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. He 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 thought it strange that she didn’t say anything even after a while, so she shifted her gaze and looked at the Hall 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. Her hair was wet and sticking out, as if she 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 her 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.”
“Uhm… . “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 his head in response.
“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 curly 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 him, and he was also in clear communication with the members of the beginner class at the same time. After giving lessons, we had no choice but to talk often because his job was to keep taking turns 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. Maybe he goes into the bathroom without his phone and the door doesn’t open. He had a cold so bad that he couldn’t even move his body. Did he collapse overnight and end up in 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. He didn’t know much about it, but it seemed like it somehow. 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 her feet in her mind, and stopped when she saw the back of an unfamiliar man. He glanced back at Yeo-woon, then turned her head back to normal and stood with her back to Yeo-woon.
Who is it? He was a fairly large man. The bare skin exposed by his short sleeves looked solid with all his muscles exposed, and his hair was long at the back of his head, tied into a ponytail. He placed his cell phone to his ear and made a call from his neighbor’s 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 was getting hotter, 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 she told Yeo-woon that she had something to ask her younger brother, her expression turned quizzical.
“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… . Because of his personality, I never thought he would be the youngest.
“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 ex-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 imagines his childhood, and she and Yoon Ji-hyuk open the door of Cafe Earth and step inside.
“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 tilted his head, looking at the afterglow. Yeo-woon, who had taken a step back at the gesture that seemed to tell her to come here, quietly 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 didn’t even blink, and she glanced at Yun Ji-gu 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 have 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. Yeo-woon shook her 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, Yoon Ji-hyuk 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. Ji-gu Yoon was frowning and moving his hands vigorously. He seemed very skilled at downing the shot, even 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. The lingering smile on her face sent shivers down her spine for some reason, and she fiddled with the edge of her 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 she saw Yun-ji Ji’s gaze turn to her and her ears turn bright red, she tried to erase her laughter.
“You brought this to your brother again and made a fuss. “It’s ridiculous, really.”
“What a busy thing. “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, when she heard stories like this, she was 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 let out a small sigh and mumbled.
“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 his eye blinking increased and the man jerked 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, he’ll really 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 her lingering eyes once more, then turned around without hesitation and disappeared in her tracks.
Yeowoon sipped his lukewarm coffee and looked at his phone. She accidentally clicked on the app that was left out on the background screen, and her Hol Blue chat window filled the screen.
“Why did you suddenly leave?”
