107.
After splitting up with Yoo Ji-han at the wedding, Chae Yoo-jeong took a taxi straight to his accommodation and asked Kwon Do-hyun, who was playing Zenoris at his seat.
“Did you do it right?”
“I didn’t know for sure, but I played.”
Kwon Do-hyun, who was crunching on a lollipop, made way for Chae Yoo-jeong. Kwon Do-hyun, who was sitting in his chair right next to him, blinked as if remembering something and said.
“Ah, right. You said you were looking for an adventure quest scroll, right?”
“…….”
“I found the location because I was bored, so look at the notepad there.”
Chae Yoo-jeong took down the game window and checked the notepad saved on the desktop.
Then he discovered that there was indeed a text saved containing the location of the scroll. Chae Yoo-jeong frowned and looked disgusted.
“What the fuck. Why are you doing something I didn’t ask you to do?”
“There’s nothing better to do, so what should I do? The problem is that you passed the character account to me that you’ve developed without saying anything.”
Kwon Do-hyun, who raised his middle finger toward Chae Yoo-jeong, put on a headset and started playing HOL solo queue. Chae Yoo-jeong, who was watching this with narrowed eyes, sighed and raised the game window again.
Well, it wasn’t a bad thing. Before Yoo Ji-han arrived, he was about to say that he couldn’t find all of them, except for two or three... I need to tell you everything that happened and help you complete the quest.
“Yoo-jeong-ah.”
He must have heard that Chae Yoo-jeong had arrived and handed over the cell phone that Yoo Gyeong-seok was holding when he came up to the practice room.
“You said you needed my phone last time, right? I brought it with me when I went to my parents’ house this time. You can use it.”
A somewhat worn and old cell phone was placed in Chae Yoo-jeong’s hand. Yoo Gyeong-seok, probably busy with work, handed over his cell phone and left the practice room.
Chae Yoo-jeong leaned his body against the back of the chair and lazily tapped the cell phone he was holding with his fingers.
‘What should I do with this?’
Since Yoo Ji-han never asked Yoo Chae for his phone number again, it wasn’t particularly useful. However, what bothered him was the attitude of Yoo Ji-han, whom he met earlier at the wedding.
Unlike his prickly and sensitive behavior and his way of speaking, his gaze had obsessively observed Chae Yoo-jeong. His black eyes, staring straight at him, contained a strange desire to win.
Chae Yoo-jeong easily realized that Yoo Ji-han was suspicious that he and ‘Yoo Chae’ might be the same person. After tapping his fingers for a while longer, Chae Yoo-jeong made a decision and turned on the phone.
If Yoo Ji-han showed interest in him for whatever reason, it was a welcome situation. Now that he had created some interest in Yoo Ji-han at the wedding, he had to build on that to build up his goodwill.
‘I’ll just have to play a little more in Zenoris.’
Let’s only use the Yoo Chae account until we become familiar with him in real life. After that, he’ll say he’s quitting because he’s busy with work. Yoo Chae just played the game with him anyway, there was nothing special about him, so Yoo Ji-han will understand and forget about him soon.
Chae Yoo-jeong no longer had the same illusions or misunderstandings as he did before. As ‘Yoo Chae,’ he enjoyed Zenoris with Yoo Ji-han and it was a truly unforgettable time for him, but that was only for him.
To Yoo Ji-han, ‘Yoo Chae’ must be one of the many game users he passed by.
Just as he finished his thoughts, Yoo Ji-han connected to Zenoris with good timing. Chae Yoo-jeong finds his scroll for him and he gives him his phone number, which he received from Yoo Gyung-seok.

“It’s true that I like Hyung. I feel the same way as a fan. I kinda admire you...…………….”
Meeting and talking with Yoo Ji-han in person was so much better than he could have imagined. Chae Yoo-jeong poured out the words he had wanted to say for a long time.
“Let’s go watch a movie.”
He played games and watched movies in the PC room with Yoo Ji-han. In particular, in the game, he was able to play HOL as a team with Yoo Ji-han, which he had always wanted!
‘If it was a dream, I don’t want to wake up. I was that happy.’
Whenever Yoo Ji-han was next to him, he couldn’t help but smile, so it was difficult to control his facial expression.
In order to avoid as much suspicion as possible about being like ‘Yoo Chae’, he had to act carefully, and even though he knew that in his head, he found it difficult to be rational when he was in front of Yoo Ji-han.
He also eventually stopped taking the medication he had been taking every day. There was no pain when he opened his eyes, so he did not need to take medication.
Chae Yoo-jeong thought that he should also clean up ‘Yoo Chae’ while he was quitting. Every time he went to see Yoo Ji-han, he handed over his account to Kwon Do-hyun for an hour or two, but that was his limit now. He no longer wanted to deceive Yoo Ji-han.
But…………….
-I’m not dating a woman, but I have a prior agreement. Stop asking now. See you next time.
[I’m sleepy: okay fine]
Seeing the harsh words of rejection and Yoo Ji-han choosing something other than himself, he realized again that that was also his mistake.
Sure. Yoo Ji-han was not such an easy person. When he felt 100% happiness, Yoo Ji-han would only feel 10% joy. The feelings between him and Yoo Ji-han were so distant.
He was almost so blind that he rashly got rid of the ‘Yoo Chae’ account. It was certain that if Yoo Ji-han’s curiosity and interest in him disappeared, he would stop paying him attention.
[○○: Me too]
In the end, he gave up his plan to organize his ‘Yoo Chae account’ and instead participated in Perk Raid.
However, it was not easy to handle Yoo Chae while maintaining a rocky relationship with Yoo Ji-han.
After renewing his contract with the LVS team, Chae Yoo-jeong had to fulfill various schedules set by the club, and even stopped by the mansion when the woman called. He played Zenoris whenever he had the chance, but there were limits.
“It’s better to be honest.”
When he returned to the dorm after the interview, Kwon Do-hyun opened his mouth in a distraught tone.
“What?”
“Tell me honestly about this person you like so much.”
He realized at once that it was related to Yoo Ji-han, and Yoo-jeong’s face instantly turned cold.
“Never mind.”
“Now that the vacation is over, I won’t be able to help you with playing your Zenoris account, so what are you gonna do next?”
Chae Yoo-jeong’s eyes narrowed. He couldn’t figure out Kwon Do-hyun’s intention when he suddenly said this.
If he was uncomfortable with simply asking him to play his Zenoris account, he would have said it out loud. Given Kwon Do-hyun’s personality, he wouldn’t say it this way.
“If you want to say something, say it properly. It doesn’t suit you to beat around the bush….”
“Chae Yoo-jeong. I don’t care if you’re gay or not. I’m just asking if it’s possible that you love him.”
“………………What?”
Chae Yoo-jeong, who was about to tell him not to behave in an unsuitable manner, was greatly embarrassed by Kwon Do-hyeon’s subsequent criticism.
“What bullshit……… I don’t like Hyung that way...………….”
Seeing Chae Yoo-jeong unable to hide his surprised emotions, Kwon Do-hyeon tilted his head as if he did not understand.
“That’s bullshit. Isn’t he the Hyung who uses the username ‘I’m sleepy’? You’ve been trying to become friends with him for a long time, to the point that you haven’t been able to come to your Gamgack account.”
It contained quite sharp content to be said to have been taken out roughly. Chae Yoo-jeong, whose head was hit by the nail, stuttered, and poured out an excuse.
“It’s just… something similar to admiration. I started HOL thanks to him… and I thought it would be nice to become friends…”
“So, you’re going to keep lying?”
“…….”
“Well, it would be better to completely hide it.”
Kwon Do-hyun lightly shrugged his shoulders, swung his chair around, and ended the conversation.
Chae Yoo-jeong, who had been standing there for a long time as if nailed to the ground, just blinked, left the practice room, and went home.
‘I like him? Isn’t it just a feeling of admiration or a desire to become friends?’
He wasn’t so stupid that he couldn’t figure out what Kwon Do-hyun meant when he said ‘You like him.’ So, did he see Yoo Ji-han with a deeper meaning, not just emotions... something like that...…………….
“Oh, shit.”
His mental strength reached its limit, so he quickly cut off his thoughts. Before he knew it, his ears were turning red.
***
-Chae Yoo-jeong.
His low, soft voice rang in his ears. His neat and straight fingertips brushed Chae Yoo-jeong’s cheek and hugged his neck.
The tension in his entire body was relieved by the warmth that filled him. The other person must have felt it too, as he heard a small laugh.
-You get nervous every time I do it. Isn’t it time to get used to it?
He slowly raised his gaze at the playful remark.
The pure white nape of his neck was revealed through his generous t-shirt. His sharp jawline, clean skin, and elegantly lifted lips caught his eye one after another.
He wanted to kiss those lips with his own. He also wanted to touch his black hair that was disheveled on the white sheets.
-Chae Yoo-jeong.
Yoo Ji-han, who was quietly looking up at Chae Yoo-jeong while lying on his bed, said.
-If there is something you want to do, do it.
It was a whisper so sweet that it brought tears to his eyes. Unable to suppress his overwhelming emotions, Chae Yoo-jeong lowered his upper body and carefully kissed Yoo Ji-han. A single teardrop flowed down Chae Yoo-jeong’s closed eyes.
Chae Yoo-jeong’s lips landed here and there on Yoo Ji-han’s body. Just as Yoo Ji-han said, he did not hold back and poured out everything he wanted to do.
“Ha…………….”
Chae Yoo-jeong, who woke up from his horrendously good dream, looked down at his lower body and buried his face in his hands. His complicated lament leaked out at length.
HM: He finally realized wwwww….. I love this dream…. It will soon become a reality when I translate the rated chapters hehe
