The weekend passed and Monday came again.
While Yoo Ji-han went to work, Chae Yoo-jeong had a busy daily life of his own. He got up, had a late breakfast, and headed home.
After he finished working out in the gym in the basement of his dorm, he chats for a bit with the coaches and plays a round or two of HOL with his teammates, who are also there to hang out. After that, they all have a late lunch together, return home, do housework such as cleaning and laundry, and then it’s time for Yoo Ji-han to get off work.
-How was your day today?
"Good."
The reason why he was so busy moving around even though it was his vacation day was because Yoo Ji-han was worried about himself.
Even though Chae Yoo-jeong was really okay, Yoo Ji-han was still worried about him. He was not worried because he did not believe Chae Yoo-jeong. Because he likes him, he can’t help but worry. Chae Yoo-jeong now knows the difference well.
Chae Yoo-jeong himself did not want to be locked in a room without seeing sunlight or meeting people, waiting for Yoo Ji-han to contact him, so Chae Yoo-jeong maintained his activity to some extent for himself and Yoo Ji-han. he has to exercise anyway, so he wants to go out at the same time.
The conversation between the two started when Yoo Ji-han left work, and naturally changed from cell phone to Discord call after turning on the computer. It was now natural for them to play Zenoris and discord call together on days when they weren’t meeting up.
-Where are you now?
“I’m in front of the repair shop.”
-I’ll be there right away. What should we do today? Should we go on a raid?
Every time Yoo Ji-han, like no other person, asked him what he should do, he loved it so much that he felt like he was going to die. Chae Yoo-jeong smiled shyly and recalled the suggestion he had been meaning to make earlier.
‘I’ve collected a certain amount of reinforcement stones, so I think I can upgrade his weapon today.’
He has accumulated quite a lot of reinforcement stones that he has purchased from time to time. Chae Yoo-jeong, who decided that this would be enough to make it to the 9th round even if he failed a few times due to unluckiness, cautiously opened his mouth.
“Hey, Hyung. If it’s okay...…………….”
However, Chae Yoo-jeong’s words, which he began with great intentions, could not be finished.
[All] Lycheeyum: Hahahaha
[All] Lycheeyum: Hello, Yoo Chae
“…….”
Chae Yoo-jeong’s brow furrowed miserably when he saw the intruder who appeared before him.
Isn’t this stalker bastard tired? Even though he had been logging on and off from the same spot over and over again for the past three days, his behavior of waiting for him at this location every time and then greeting him was insane.
-Why did you stop talking?
“……No. Hyung, I’ll just go there.”
It was right not to have anything to do with a guy like that.
He was looking through the scrolling items in his inventory with the intention of changing his access location at this point, but Yoo Ji-han responded with a puzzled look.
-En? I arrived?
At the same time, the character ‘I’m sleepy’ came to my side. Anyway, just like last time, Lycheeyum continued to recommend Chae Yoo-jeong to join the guild.
[All] Lycheeyum: Yoo Chae-nim ㅠ
[All] Lycheeyum: Are you sure you don’t want to come to the guild?
[All] Lycheeyum: If you come, I’ll treat you really well~
Only then did Yoo Ji-han, who saw the chat belatedly, open his mouth with an expression of confusion.
-What is that person… Isn’t that the same person as last time?
When Yoo Ji-han, who remembered his username from Lycheeyum, asked, Chae Yoo-jeong barely swallowed his exasperated breath and tried to act as if nothing had happened.
"That’s right. Maybe it’s because I’m always here. He keeps coming back.”
-It’s not you that’s the problem, they’re the problem. Even though you refuse to join the guild, they keep forcing you.
“That, um……………”
Seeing Yoo Ji-han taking his side, Chae Yoo-jeong completely forgot about the irritated feelings that had been rising just now and blushed slightly.
[All] Lycheeyum: Yoo Chae?ㅜㅜ
[All] Lycheeyum: Are you leaving?
[All] Yoo Chae: no
[All] Yoo Chae: go away
[All] Lycheeyum: Wow, you weren’t leaving
[All] Lycheeyum: Don’t just say no.
[All] Lycheeyum: Or, how about coming and experiencing the guild for just a week? please?
[All] Lycheeyum: You won’t regret it
He tried to hit Lycheeyum quickly for the sake of Yoo Ji-han who was waiting, but it wasn’t easy. Chae Yoo-jeong became nervous and fidgeted and quickly opened his mouth.
“I-I’ll solve it quickly. wait a minute."
-Wait. Even if you say no, they won’t listen.
Yoo Ji-han calmed down Chae Yoo-jeong, who was at a loss, and immediately began typing on the keyboard.
[All] I’m sleepy: Why do you keep inviting him to the guild even though the person in question says he doesn’t want it?
[All] I’m sleepy: Even if it’s a good suggestion, you have to do it once or twice for them to understand. If you keep doing this, it’s coercion.
[All] I’m sleepy: Stop it already
Every word from beginning to end was correct.
[All] Lycheeyum: ㅋㅋ
[All] Lycheeyum: What.. ha;
[All] Lycheeyum: Isn’t it free to suggest a guild to someone who doesn’t have a guild?
[All] Lycheeyum: Who are you, telling me to stop?
He thought that Lycheeyum’s reckless behavior would be eased because the person next to him could dissuade him, but that was Chae Yoo-jeong’s mistake.
The sly attitude he had when suggesting a guild to Chae Yoo-jeong was gone, and sharp, argumentative chats poured out. And that too, towards Yoo Ji-han and no one else.
[All] Lycheeyum: Also, shut up about that guild ㅋㅋ;
[All] Lycheeyum: It’s really transparent to just tell me that
Chae Yoo-jeong’s sense of reason was cut short as it wasn’t just a fight, but everywhere he looked there were comments mocking Yoo Ji-han.
“Lychee………”
It was that moment when swear words that he would never say in front of Yoo Ji-han came out of his mouth without his knowledge.
-Um, that doesn’t work either.
A clear and simple voice without any sign of unpleasantness came through the headset.
“Hyu-hyung...……………”
-It can’t help it. Let’s just ignore it and go about our business.
There was no way Yoo Ji-han, who was quick-witted, could not have known that Lycheeyum’s chat contained an intention to ignore him. And yet it’s so peaceful.
Chae Yoo-jeong, who was immediately taken in by Lycheeyum’s provocation, felt ashamed of himself.
And once again, Yoo Ji-han was amazing.
‘As expected, Hyung is different.’
He realized that he still had a long way to go. Chae Yoo-jeong quietly took a deep breath with the tips of his ears dyed red.
Okay, let’s stop and play a fun game with Yoo Ji-han. Yoo Ji-han must have already been extremely tired after working. He didn’t want to cause unnecessary stress.
“Hyung, come to the party. I’ll use the scroll!”
-Yes, yes.
There was a faint smile in his answering voice.

[Guild] I’m sleepy: Lycheeyum, what is this guy doing?
[Guild] I’m sleepy: Does anyone know him?
After that, a guy named Lycheeyum continued to follow me and Chae Yoo-jeong and forced him to join the guild. Having been interrupted by Lycheeyum, we had no choice but to give up on our original itinerary.
I didn’t want to show off to Chae Yoo-jeong, who was already watching me, so I held back and instead asked for help from the guild.
[Guild] Harn: Huh??
[Guild] Manaolingnam: ???
[Guild] Drink some water: Lycheeyum?
[Guild] Drink some water: If it’s the Lycheeyum I know
[Guild] Drink some water: Aren’t he the No. 1 in the Dark mage rankings now?
[Guild] Harun: I know it well...
[Guild] TheHunter: Wasn’t it Gilma from another guild?
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: yeah
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Last time, he asked my sub-character if I wanted to join the guild
[Guild] Park Seung-jin99: Looking to recruit the already guild member?
I smiled coldly as I read the guild chat that kept popping up as if I had been waiting for it.
Current Dark Mage job ranking #1? Then, it is true that the chat earlier was aimed at making fun of me because I am a fellow Dark Mage.
‘It’s annoying to tease Chae Yoo-jeong under the pretext of joining the guild, but how dare you interfere and ruin Chae Yoo-jeong and I’s happy game date time?
For the first time in a long time, I began to turn my head, which had been stiff for a while due to a happy relationship and a smooth work life.
Lycheeyum, this kid awakened my gamer instincts that had been dormant for a while. As a user who enjoys the game, how can I meekly back down from a fight that comes first?
[Guild] Drink some water: Hmm
[Guild] Drink some water: Are you aiming for the No. 1 on the server?
Among the guild members who heard all the blame from me, Kang Ji-hye spoke as if she had realized something.
[Guild] I’m sleepy: This means using Yoo Chae as a way to increase guild rankings.
[Guild] Drink some water: After listening to the story,
[Guild] Drink some water: Lycheeyum, what this user is aiming for is very obvious
[Guild] Harn: I think it’s like that with guilds...
[Guild] Mocha Bread: Oho
[Guild] Drink some water: If it’s only for Yoo Chae, I guess he just wants an aggro player
[Guild] Drink some water: he’s currently ranked 1st in the job rankings
[Guild] Drink some water: Then it’s obvious
[Guild] Staric: You probably don’t know because this is your first time experiencing a ranking match
[Guild] Staric: If a guild’s Gilma takes first place in a ranking match, the publicity effect alone is enormous
[Guild] Crazy Hunting Friend: Come to think of it, when Yoo Chae became a member of our guild, he was also #1 in Chain Blade ranking, right?
[Guild] Drink some water: Yes
[Guild] Drink some water: To be exact, that’s why I brought you here
[Guild] Drink some water: No. 1 in job rankings, flashy dealer aggro dealer level
[Guild] Drink some water: If a guy like that becomes a guild master rather than a tank like me, there will be a lot of people in the guild
[Guild] Drink some water: That’s why Early Evening took first place and has maintained it until now
“Hmm………………”
After listening to Kang Ji-hye’s explanation, I could see Lycheeyum’s goal.
I see. In the end, they were preparing to push out Early Evening and become the number one guild on the server. That was why he persistently proposed to Yoo Chae to join the guild.
[Guild] Staric: Lycheeyum, I see that this user guy is not that famous
[Guild] Staric: I don’t think he has the constitution to be an aggro dealer
[Guild] Staric: If he comes into the guild and Yoo Chae causes an accident like before,
[Guild] I’m getting lazy: Oh....
[Guild] Mocha bread: It’s crazy, got goosebumps
[Guild] Drink some water: crazy
[Guild] Drink some water: Even if I were in that position, I would still want Yoo Chae
[Guild] Bright Clouds: No, but you’re like that anyway
[Guild] Staric: Secret^^
[Guild] Staric: Then I guess you want Yoo Chae more ㅋ
[Guild] Staric: The name already has quite a bit of value
[Guild] Staric: It won’t be that satisfying from their perspective
[Guild] Hwasoun: Why does Staric-nim know so well?
[Guild] TheHunter: Stop talking about secrets and dig up pumpkins
[Guild] TheHunter: Is this my life quest? It’s yours ㅡㅡ
[Guild] Staric: ㅠㅠ
[Guild] Let’s do this: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Harn: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Bright Clouds: I can’t last even 1 minute;
In short, by recruiting Yoo Chae to their guild, is Lycheeyum trying to gain a manpower who can attract attention and popularity at the same time?
‘When you kill two birds at once, you have to expect a big blow.’
With that arrogant attitude you showed in front of Yoo Chae and me earlier, it would be difficult to kill one bird, let alone kill two birds with one stone.
“……”
I crossed my arms and calmly organized my mind. After weighing all the probabilities of what might happen in the future, I decided what to do first.
[Guild] I’m sleepy: Thank you for letting me know.
[Guild] I’m sleepy: It was a great help
‘First, I have to meet Chae Yoo-jeong first.’
The rest was next. There is nothing more important to me right now than Chae Yoo-jeong.
[Guild] Bright Clouds: Why am I anxious...
[Guild] Crazy Hunting Friend: I have a strange feeling...
[Guild] TheHunter: It’s been peaceful so far
The guild members who sensed the unusual atmosphere whispered. Anyway, I picked up my cell phone that I had left next to the keyboard.
Just then, I received a call from Chae Yoo-jeong, who had gone to take a shower. I received the call with a natural smile.
HM: I wonder how this is gonna go
