61.
“Then, that’s all for today’s lecture.”
As soon as the lecture was over, My yawn came out as if it had waited for the class to end. My whole body felt sore after concentrating on the drawing for a long time with my upper body bent forward.
“Hey, Yoo Ji-han.”
Kim Dae-seok approached me while I stretched my arms out above, and sat down next to me, making the gesture of a hand drinking soju.
“Aren’t there any more lectures? Do you want to go out for dinner and drinks?”
“Again? You have really good stamina.”
“Didn’t I ask you to drink first? Hae-seong asked me to go.”
“So what’s the difference?”
Just in time, Eun Hae-seong, who had packed his bag and walked to my seat, exclaimed energetically with a bright smile on his face.
“Let’s go and drink!”
Are there only people who are crazy about alcohol around me? I sighed and packed my bag.
“No.”
“Why! It’s Friday!”
“That’s right. Do you think that if you don’t drink on a Friday, you’ll be taken away by the police?”
“I have to go walk the dog. I haven’t played with him for five days already.”
“A puppy? Do you have a dog?”
“Hey, show me the picture.”
“When did you start raising him?”
“A while ago. There are no photos.”
“What? Doesn’t any guy who raises dogs take pictures?”
No pictures, no phone number either of him. I get mad just thinking about it again.
Ignoring Kim Dae-seok’s words, I jumped up with my bag slung over one shoulder.
“Anyway, I’m busy. Drink by yourselves.”
“What, are you really not going to come with us? Yoo Ji-han!”
I left the lecture room behind the panicked Kim Dae-seok’s cry. It was not unusual for my cell phone to vibrate all the time.
‘I knew it would be like this.’
I saw new messages piled up in the guild chat room.
Even though I turned off the group chat room notification, the vibration came on, so it seems that Yoo chae called me again and caused a stir.
[oo: @I’m sleepy]
[oo: Hyung, is the lecture over?]
[oo: You’re coming in today, right? ㅜㅜ]
[oo: @I’m sleepy]
[Drink some water: Hey, do it in moderation]
[Harn: I told you to do it in personal chat]
[I’m so Lazy: obsessed crazy guyㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Staric: This is a bit scary]
[The Hunter: Aren’t you at work rn?]
[The Hunter: so why r u here]
[Staric: When you’re at work, you end up looking at a message]
[Staric: and disappears after work]
[The Hunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ ok;]
[oo: @I’m sleepy]
[oo: @I’m sleepy]
[Mocha Bread: It’s crazy today]
[Drink some water: Gilchat all day yesterday]
[Drink some water: You said you want to play with Sleepy-nim today.]
[Harn: Sleepy, didn’t you tell Gilma-nim your phone number now?]
[Harn: I understand that you don’t like being asked, but it’s for the public interest]
[Park Seung-jin99: You must have had his phone number]
[Park Seung-jin99: How many messages will he send?]
[Park Seung-jin99: Sleepy-nim, you’ll get neurosis at this rate]
[Harn: I think I’m going to get it right now just watching this (nemoticon)]
It’s not me who won’t give my cell phone number. I swallowed anything that would hurt my pride by bringing it up and gave a situation briefing instead.
[I’m sleepy: the lecture just ended]
[I’m sleepy: stop it]
[oo: ㅇㅅㅇ!]
[oo: When are you arriving home?]
[Mocha bread: Thankfully]
[Drink some water: Phew..]

[The Hunter: Where’s Sleepy-nim now?]
[I’m sleepy: near school]
[Drink some water: Did you say ur architecture major?]
[Drink some water: Is it too much to ask which university?]
[I’m sleepy: ㅋㅋㅋ Korea]
[Drink some water: Oh]
[Harn: Gasp, Korea University?]
[Park Seung-Kun: crazy What the heck.. I suddenly feel a sense of distance..]
[Mocha bread: Me tooㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[The Hunter: Korea University of Architecture? omg]
[The Hunter: He’s an elite...]
[Bright Clouds: (Emoticon)]
[Bright Clouds: Sleepy-sama really tore it]
[Drink some water: fr When asked]
[Drink some water: he must have felt a lot of confidence while laughing and answering right away]
[Humorous: Look cool omg omg omg]
[I’m sleepy: stop teasing me — —]
[Harn: Ah, I was caught ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[The Hunter: I also live nearby]
[The Hunter: Let’s eat together later!]
[I’m sleepy: ok ok]
[00:?]
[oo: Why are you eating with I’m sleepy hyung?]
[The Hunter: ‘cus I live close?]
Yoo Chae clung to me this time, as if he was speechless at the natural reply.
[oo: Hyung]
[oo: It’s dangerous to meet someone like that!! ㅜㅡㅜ]
[I’m Sleepy: Oh yeah]
[Drink some water: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Harn: How are you two the same even after you get married?!]
[I’m sleepy: Please put the game before marriage..]
[Bright Clouds: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[The Hunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
***
As I was busy with classes, assignments, and games, the time of one month passed without me noticing it.
A week before Seo Tae-young’s wedding, I told my dog a sad fact in advance.
[Party] I’m sleepy: I’ll come in late next Saturday
[Party] Yoo Chae: Yes?
[Party] I’m sleepy: I have to go to an acquaintance’s wedding
[Party] Yoo Chae: Ah..
Yoo Chae, who was riding ahead on his horse, saw my chat and stopped.
I was wandering around the map in search of one of Zenoris’ adventure quest items, the Warrior’s Scroll.
Scrolls spread throughout the map were one of the trickiest items to collect, since they were hidden from being discovered and their location changed randomly every week.
[Party] Yoo Chae: When will you come back?ㅠㅅㅠ
[Party] I’m sleepy: I don’t know
[Party] I’m sleepy: the wedding starts at 1 o’clock
[Party] I’m sleepy: will you come by at 5 o’clock at the latest?
[Party] Yoo Chae: Is the wedding far away?
[Party] I’m sleepy: not far
[Party] I’m sleepy: About an hour on the subway?
[Party] I’m sleepy: I won’t watch it till the end and just leave when it’s right
[Party] Yoo Chae: Um
[Party] Yoo Chae: I don’t have any schedule
[Party] Yoo Chae: I’ll just wait as usual
[Party] I’m sleepy: go out and have some fun
[Party] I’m sleepy: don’t you have any friends?
It was Yoo Chae who played games with me every weekend.
No matter if you’re unemployed, it’s worth going out because it’s the weekend, but how can you just play games like that? He seems to really like games.
‘Well, I’m not in a position to think like this either……’
Right now, even during the last vacation, I didn’t sleep and played Zenoris until I got to level 200.
After that, I entered Early Evening guild... Thinking back to that point, it was surprising that he had become so close with Yoo Chae.
[Party] Yoo Chae: Gasp hyung...
[Party] Yoo Chae: What if I didn’t have real friends?
[Party] I’m sleepy. what do you mean
[Party] I’m sleepy: I’m going to be trash making fun of a friendless person
[Party] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Party] Yoo Chae: It’s okay
[Party] Yoo Chae: I like trash Hyung too
[Party] Yoo Chae: You’re still hot ㅋㅋㅋ
[Party] I’m sleepy: Aren’t you hot too
[Party] Yoo Chae: What?
[Party] Yoo Chae: You’ll regret saying that
[Party] I’m sleepy: talking nonsense again
[Party] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Yoo Chae, who laughed like he was okay with being sworn at, found the fifth scroll in the corner of the map at just the right time.
[Party] Yoo Chae: it’s still only half-filled
[Party] I’m sleepy: It’s hard
There are a total of 10 scrolls to collect, and after searching for them since last week, I only filled half of them.
It was too wasteful to pass without a quest that gave you everything from hard-to-find materials to additional ability points.
[Party] Yoo Chae: It took a while for me too.
[Party] Yoo Chae: The location changes every week, so it’s not something you can finish quickly
[Party] I’m sleepy: yeah
[Party] I’m sleepy: I have to go to the wedding next week
[Party] I’m sleepy: it wouldn’t be over till next week
If possible, I want to finish it before the midterm exams start. If I collect about 9 scrolls and start preparing for the midterm exam, I will die before the test, due to being careless and irritated.
[Party] Yoo Chae: Then while you’re at the wedding
[Party] Yoo Chae: Should I find out the location in advance?
Hmm, I’m sure it could save me a lot of time if he figured out all the scroll locations in advance.
[Party] I’m sleepy: You don’t have to overdo it
[Party] Yoo Chae: It’s convenient to know
[Party] Yoo Chae: Without hyung, I have nothing to do..
[Party] I’m sleepy: What are u talking abt?
Come to think of it, I’m a newbie who started Zenoris only two months ago? It’s okay to get help with this.
After accepting his consideration with my shameless heart, Yoo Chae revealed his cool and dark inner self.
[Party] Yoo Chae: I have to do something like this for hyung to be nice to me
[Party] I’m sleepy: Your senses are like that of a dogㅠㅅㅠ
[Party] Yoo Chae: Phew... Married life is hard
[Party] I’m sleepy: ㅋㅋ
[Party] I’m sleepy: If u do something wrong, I’ll hit u
[Party] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋ
[Party] Yoo Chae: Did you give me a kiss saying you did well?
[Party] I’m sleepy: I’ll consider it if there’s such a function
You really want to do something like that in the game. No, of course, even if it was real, I wouldn’t have kissed him.
‘I should go to the wedding sooner.’
Originally, I was going to stay and eat until the ceremony was over, but it would be better to just come out in the middle.
I can’t just leave the assignment to the kid and come back after it’s fully filled. With my back leaning against the back of my chair, I sorted out my schedule for the next week in my head, then straightened up and started chatting.
[Party] I’m sleepy: I’ll be back soon
[Party] I’m sleepy: don’t make trouble and wait
