60.
I scratched my forehead at his sudden outburst and asked, “What are you talking about all of a sudden? What did you do wrong?”
“Hyung asked for my number, but I refused, so………….”
“......”
This bastard, did you call me to fuck with me like this?
“I wondered if you didn’t come in on purpose because you were uncomfortable.”
Unexpectedly, his senses are as sharp as a ghost.
“Ah…..”
Quite quick-witted. I already felt it while playing the game, but I didn’t know you were quick in the realistic part either.
“...Can that be the case? Didn’t you see Guild chat? I couldn’t come in because I was busy after class started.”
“Is that so?”
“Of course. What…….”
Inadvertently, I paused and continued speaking as nonchalantly as possible.
“What’s wrong with you refusing to give me your phone number? This can happen. I already told you that I understood.”
“It goes too far to think that I won’t come to the game because of that. You are overly self-conscious.”
“You mean I misunderstood?”
No, it’s not a misunderstanding.
“Uh-huh.”
“Thank god.”
Yoo Chae must have been sincerely relieved, and he spoke with a more relaxed voice.
“I was very worried about what I would do if Hyung never came back.”
“What? You didn’t even give me your number...”
“Nevertheless.”
I wondered if he finally relaxed. He let out a soft laugh at the words I spat out like a joke.
Hearing that, I pursed my lips and furrowed my brows.
‘While wanting to get to know me like this.’
Even though words and actions are different, they are so different. Isn’t this all acting? Like, deep down, you think of me as a fucking unlucky bastard.
“Hyung, are you playing the game today?”
“I turned it on for that.”
Just in time, a message came from Drink some water.
[Drink some water: Hi-Hi]
[Drink some water: I was going to contact you anyway]
[I’m sleepy: Hiㅋㅋㅋ]
[I’m sleepy: I heard about it from Soeso]
[Drink some water: yeah, you didn’t come at all]
[Drink some water: I was going to ask if you are busy]
[Drink some water: you came in just in time ㅋㅋ]
[I’m sleepy: I haven’t been able to come because I’ve been busy since the beginning of class]
[I’m sleepy: I’m sorry]
[Drink some water: ㅇㅇ No, I’m not trying to burden]
[Drink some water: I was just trying to contact you to say hello]
[I’m sleepy: I’ll increase my logging rate starting from now]
[Drink some water: o]
[Drink some water: Yoo Chae, that bastard won’t come in]
[Drink some water: Crazy, fuck that bastard ]
[Drink some water: I’ve been holding it in, and I wanted to contact u tooㅋㅋㅋ]
I laughed out loud at the content of the message that followed.
Yoo Chae, What is this guy really doing? I had been suspicious of him until just now, but my doubts disappeared in an instant.
[Drink some water: Can I save the number I received?]
[I’m sleepy: yes]
“Wait for a sec.”
I blocked Yoo Chae who was reciting game contents with a look of excitement, and I opened the lid of the mineral water bottle I had brought beforehand and drank it all the way.
The hangover won’t go away. The headache lingered and my head couldn’t turn well.
“Wait for now. I woke up and I haven’t eaten yet. I also have a hangover……”
“Hungover? Did you drink yesterday?”
“I had a meeting with the department, so I drank a little, and I feel really bad. I don’t usually have a hangover, but yesterday I mixed it up and drank it... I feel like I would die at this rate.”
Yoo Chae, who had been listening to me silently, lost his energy in an instant and said sullenly.
“If you are tired, you can go to rest. Be sure to eat.”
“Do you want me to just leave?”
“You said you would die. The game can wait till tomorrow. It’s Sunday anyway.”
“How do you know I’ll be free no matter what just because it’s Sunday.”
“...Are you busy?”
After hesitating for a while, he couldn’t help but burst into laughter at the sneaking question.
What does he really believe in doing such cute things?
“No, I’m not busy. Let’s do it today and let’s also do it tomorrow. But I’ll come back after eating, so wait a bit.”
“You don’t have to overdo it.”
“How hard can it be to play a game, while sitting still?”
I responded slowly, and Yoo Chae, who had been trying hard to take care of me, showed excitement again.
“What are you going to eat? How long will it take?”
“I’ll just have it delivered and eat it. It will take about an hour.”
“I’ll wait.”
“Yes. Are you going to continue discord?”
“Hyu-Hyung, if it’s okay with you...”
While flipping through the menu on my phone, I covered the corners of my mouth that soared upward with my hand.
What is this... It’s like a puppy itself panting with excitement when I say go for a walk.
“Wait quietly.”
“Yes!”
After muting the mic and taking off my headset, I resumed picking out the menu where I left off.
I just wanted something quick and easy to eat. I can’t just set a table and eat while the kid is waiting.
***
“You crazy man, what are you doing?”
“Yes? Hyung, did you insult me just now?”
Exactly two hours after I thought Yoo Chae was cute.
When I shouted out while lying miserably on the floor of the dungeon, Yoo Chae expressed a lot of regret.
“You don’t look like you’re cursing, you bastard!”
“I’m not a bastard!”
“Then what is it?”
“Bride! I even have a title!”
Currently, I couldn’t overcome Yoo Chae’s whining and changed the title to ‘Sleepy Owner’s Groom’.
Fuck. I’m never going to wear this title again.
[Party] Bright Clouds: ukㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Party] Bright Clouds: Sleepy-nim, you got a bit sloppyㅋ
[Party] TheHunter: ???
[Party] TheHunter: What’s up?
[Party] Staric: There wasn’t anything to die for...?
[Party] Harn: You could have just stayed in the green?
[Party] Mocha Bread: Sleepy-nim
[Party] Mocha Bread: It’s been a while so you’ve dulled all ur senses.ㅋ
[Party] Park Seungjin99: ??
[Party] Park Seungjin99: Didn’t Gilma-nim tell you the pattern?
[Party] I’m sleepy: ha ㅅ1fck....
He had entered the dungeon created by the event with his guild members.
Since it was an event dungeon and not a raid, it wasn’t that difficult, but mid-bosses with gimmicks with fixed patterns appeared.
Still, there is no big problem as Yoo Chae, who has been to the event dungeon before, explains in real time. I just thought that.
“Is the title important now?”
I was confused about the color for a moment.
It was avoiding colors, one of the patterns of the middle boss I met on the second floor of the dungeon. A complex magic circle was drawn on the floor, and the color changed at regular intervals. You had to enter the correct color to survive.
While choosing a magic circle, everything other than my character was covered in darkness, so it was impossible to see and follow others. I entered the green magic circle just as Yoo Chae said.
And died miserably. Kim Yoo-chae, who actually gave me the wrong information, moved to the red color right before the end, so I didn’t search, and only I followed.
“I-I’m also here for the second time today…………!”
Yoo Chae, who was taken aback by my cold attitude, hurriedly added an excuse. However, I, who had already been branded as a fool by the guild members, had to continue to be teased until the end of the dungeon raid.
[Party] TheHunter: Ha sleepy, I’m a bit disappointed~
[Party] Mocha Bread: frㅋㅋ
[Party] Mocha Bread: No, how can you just~die?~
[Party] TheHunter: I admit~
[Party] Yoo Chae: Stop it, you bastards
[Party] Park Seung-jin99: Ha.. He just took ur side because u guys got married..
[Party] Harn: I’m so sad, how can I live?ㅠ
[Party] Park Seungjin99: ?
[Party] Bright Clouds: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Party] Staric: Is this the power of marriage?
[Party] Staric: Hunter-nim, let’s go?
[Party] TheHunter: no
[Party] Bright Clouds: are u gonna get dumped?
Yoo Chae tried to intervene urgently, but the seeds did not work. After going through all kinds of humiliation like that, as soon as I came out onto the field, I swung my staff at him.
Hit!
“Hyuung… it hurts.”
Hiit! Hit!
[Party] Yoo Chae: ㅜㅡㅜ
[Party] Yoo Chae: ㅠㅅㅠ!!!
[Party] TheHunter: they’re still lovebirds
[Party] Bright Clouds: he deserved to be hit
[Party] Harn: Who else could he be, if not Gilma-nim?
[Party] Harn: Who else could make Sleepy-nim die in a gimmick like that?ㅋ
[Party] Harn: Think logically
[Party] Staric: Logic omg omg
[Party] Bright Clouds: That sounds plausible
[Party] Bright Clouds: Spirit Victory
[Party] Park Seung-jin99: I took a screenshot of that Sleepy-nim’s death
[Party] Park Seung-jin99: Can I upload this to the guild chat room?ㅇㅅㅇ
[Party] I’m sleepy: fk why did u take a photo of that
[Party] Park Seung-jin99: Because lying down looks so comfortable haha
[Party] I’m sleepy: delete itㅡ ㅡ
[Party] Park Seung-jin99: Cri ㅠㅠ
[Party] Bright Clouds: Cri ㅠㅠ
[Party] Harn: Cri
‘Cri’ don’t say nonsense with that.
Both Yoo Chae and the guild members are so annoying.
