12.
In complete disbelief, I rubbed my eyes and looked at the monitor again, but the username “Yoo Chae” did not disappear and was still there in my friend list.
Then I remembered that yesterday I was the one who sent the friend request first.
‘Why, you bastard?’
Did you just leave the friend request message unturned, waited and hit the receive button as soon as I left the guild?
“Ha……”
No matter how much I thought about it, nothing came to mind other than that. I replied to the chat with a smirk of wonder.
[I’m Sleepy: You are a real bastard.]
The guy, who realized what I meant, sent a quick reply.
[Yoo Chae: haha thank you]
[I’m Sleepy: Not a compliment;]
[I’m Sleepy: I’ll remove you]
Thanks is bullshit. After the disappointment subsided to some extent, all that was left was frustration. I don’t feel like playing the game now, really.
[Yoo Chae: Hyung]
[Yoo Chae: Wait a minute.]
[Yoo Chae: Hyung!]
As I was trying to remove the username “You Chae” from the Friends window, new messages kept coming in and covered the screen.
[Yoo Chae: Can’t you just listen to me once?]
[Yoo Chae: I really helped Hyung for a week..]
[Yoo Chae: Please listen to me once]
“……”
I narrowed my eyes to the chat that showed sincerity. What else is he trying to do?
‘...Well, it’s true that I was helped with this and that for a week.’
Not only did I receive help for raids, but I also received a lot of items.
As my memory remembered that point, I was stabbed by my conscience. Well, there’s nothing to lose as long as you listen to his favor.
[I’m Sleepy: Okay then]
[Yoo Chae: Come to our guild.]
No, this bastard is really...……
[I’m Sleepy: The End]
That’s right. The message flew in again as soon as I clicked my tongue and made up my mind to remove him from the friend’s list this time.
[Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋ ah kiddingkidding]
[Yoo Chae: I’m not kidding when I said come to our guild, but seriously]
[Yoo Chae: Anyway Hyung]
[Yoo Chae: Are you mad?]
[I’m Sleepy: Then wouldn’t you be mad if it was you?]
[Yoo Chae: I don’t think I’ll be mad?]
What the hell is this bastard talking about? I took my hand off the keyboard for a moment and the thought that he was a crazy person came to my mind without realizing it.
…Let’s calm down. I also had a lot of things I wanted to discuss since yesterday, so I didn’t want to spend this conversation, which might be the last, in an angry way.
[I’m Sleepy: Because of you, I am mad]
[I’m Sleepy: I even thought about throwing away this account and grow a new one]
[Yoo Chae: Don’t do that]
[I’m Sleepy: Because I’m a person who hasn’t reached max level yet?]
[I’m Sleepy: But before I could even raise it properly, I got tired of this]
[I’m Sleepy: Of course, am I wrong?]
‘Oops.’
It was only one second after I decided to calm down, and I already lost my reason and showed my gradient anger.
No, but how can you hold it in when you’re in a situation like this? If anyone goes through a dog-like situation like this, they won’t be able to get through it without vomiting up their anger!
[I’m Sleepy: Let’s hear the reason]
[I’m Sleepy: Why are you doing this to me?]
[Yoo Chae: Why do you mean why?]
Yoo Chae, who was not particularly offended by my chat, filled with anger, answered calmly.
[Yoo Chae: Of course, it’s because Hyung went to another guild]
[Yoo Chae: I’m also annoyed by the guild war]
[Yoo Chae: But there was no other way to get Hyung to come out of the One Heart One Will Guild without harming you other than that]
[I’m Sleepy: ㅋㅋ?]
[I’m Sleepy: Without hurting me? Is that correct?]
[Yoo Chae: Hyung didn’t get… hurt, right?]
Is he serious now? It was me who was annoyed when the conversation went like this.
[Yoo Chae: Did you see that post?]
[I’m Sleepy: Saw]
[Yoo Chae: No one’s cursing Hyung]
[Yoo Chae: It’s all insults of me, rather than One Heart One Will, right?]
[I’m Sleepy: That’s given;]
[I’m Sleepy: And that’s not all, they didn’t swear at me either]
[Yoo Chae: they are the same one, who knew what happened from the post]
[Yoo Chae: I’m the bastard who was sworn at from the beginning]
[Yoo Chae: The One Heart One Will Guild only got scared and became the bastards who abandoned my Hyung]
After glancing Yoo Chae’s chat for a while, I thought blankly.
‘That’s right, but...……’
[Yoo Chae: It’s just that my Hyung is an innocent newbie who got caught by the wrong people by mistake]
[Yoo Chae: So, it’s not right if you get hurt]
[Yoo Chae: What’s wrong with the guild]
[Yoo Chae: If you come back here again, it’ll all be resolved haha]
[I’m Sleepy: Don’t talk nonsense]
I almost would have fallen for it. I grabbed hold of the guild proposal that the guy secretly gave me and asked the questions straight away.
[I’m Sleepy: Why do you keep obsessing over the guild thing?]
[I’m Sleepy: If it’s a selection contest or whatever, just find another newbie]
[I’m Sleepy: It’s the number one guild, so it’s easy to find.]
[Yoo Chae: selection?]
When I met Kim Dae-seok earlier, I barely heard about the details of the Guardian Guild Selection. So, if the reason was to bring me to join the selection contest under Early Evening was understandable to some extent.
‘A newbie like me isn’t common after all.’
Anyway, I’m good at games. To be honest, I have the confidence to do it as much as others, just by watching a few videos of how the selection contest works.
However, this time again, Yoo Chae’s answer far exceeded my expectations.
[Yoo Chae: What does it have to do with Hyung and the selection contest?]
You’re not doing this because of the selection contest?
[I’m Sleepy: ?]
[Yoo Chae: we would win anyway, even without Hyung?]
…Fine, yeah. I scratched my cheek for nothing in the rush of embarrassment.
[Yoo Chae: One Heart One Will, those bastards took Hyung to help them in the selection contest]
[Yoo Chae: How did you know that there were even rumors that you were good at gaming..]
[Yoo Chae: It’s really annoying...]
I remembered the guild atmosphere of <One Heart One Will> during the guild war was favorable to me. You can see I’m good at games, but Kim Dae-seok must have said it to his Guild Master.
Didn’t he say that there was no plan to bring in new recruits in the first place? Maybe that’s why I was suddenly given permission to join the guild.
[I’m Sleepy: Well, then what’s your problem?]
[Yoo Chae: Of course, it’s because I just want to play games with Hyung ㅜㅜ]
[I’m Sleepy: please give up that bullshit]
[Yoo Chae: I meant it?]
[I’m Sleepy: ?;;]
[I’m Sleepy: Are you gay?]
[Yoo Chae: I’m not gay..]
[Yoo Chae: But what’s wrong with being gay? It may be gay]
[Yoo Chae: Hyung, do you have a prejudice against that? In today’s world?]
This bastard’s talking weird again. What? Prejudice?
[I’m Sleepy: Is it the same as saying that someone else is gay and asking me to be gay?]
[I’m Sleepy: I can hear that you are not really saying the truth]
[Yoo Chae: I’m not gay]
[Yoo Chae: I really want to be purely friends with Hyung.]
[Yoo Chae: So, come back to the guild]
In the end, the conclusion is to come back to the guild. Gradually, I grew tired of this conversation. I answered back after massaging my sore neck a few times.
[I’m Sleepy: I did that shit on the server chat, so why am I going on about here?]
[I’m Sleepy: Just because I didn’t curse doesn’t mean that I would come back to you]
[I’m Sleepy: I was really going to quit, but I decided to keep going]
[I’m Sleepy: Stop crossing the line and leave me alone]
[I’m Sleepy: Pick another newbie for the selection contest]
[I’m Sleepy: ok?]
[Yoo Chae: What did you mean by quitting?]
[Yoo Chae: Why? Why do you have to quit?]
[Yoo Chae: If it’s because of the incident, don’t do that]
[Yoo Chae: In a few days, everyone, including the four people, won’t even remember Hyung’s username]
[Yoo Chae: So please don’t quit Hyung]
[Yoo Chae: I’m good at games too, but why is Hyung quitting?]
“Huu.”
This bastard got stuck on a strange point again.
‘Ah, I’m so tired...……’
I wonder what it means if I try to mix up the chat more than this. It’s been over a week since I found out that I’m dealing with a guy like him.
[I’m Sleepy: I’m not going to quit]
[I’m Sleepy: If you don’t understand what I’m saying, then just shut up and log out of the game now]
[I’m Sleepy: I have been trying hard to be friendly with you]
[I’m Sleepy: Don’t be friends with me anymore and don’t mess with me]
[I’m Sleepy: If I see your username one more time, then I’ll fr quit]
[I’m Sleepy: Do you understand?]
After about a minute of no response, Yoo Chae finally sent me the answer I was looking for.
[Yoo Chae: Yes]
[I’m Sleepy: Then, I trust you]
[I’m Sleepy: Please don’t make me quit]
[Yoo Chae: Yes, I get it.]
[Yoo Chae: I’m sorry...]
“……”
The apology made me feel a little uncomfortable. You acted blatantly like you used to, then why are you apologizing all of a sudden?
‘…You didn’t do well like before, did you?’
Even if he showed such an attitude now, there was nothing I could do for him. Yoo Chae and I had a problem from the first meeting. It would have been great by now if this kid hadn’t been arguing because of my username.
[I’m Sleepy: Good luck]
After the chat, I removed Yoo Chae from my friends list.
Although the ending was a bit disappointing... Still, this doesn’t seem like a bad ending. Now that I’ve properly explained what I want, Yoo Chae won’t bother me anymore.
‘...…right?’
But I didn’t have a good feeling about this.
Even after clicking on the red rock to participate in the raid, I opened and closed the empty friend window over and over again because of an unknown anxiety.
What the hell, is this awkward feeling? I also got rid of that Yoo Chae guy, so now all I have to do is enjoy the game comfortably.
“……”
Even after the raid started, I was constantly fidgeting, so I ended up spending the rest of the day not concentrating on the game.
