90.
[Chae Yoo-jeong: Hyung]
[Chae Yoo-jeong: You said you were going out today, right?]
[Chae Yoo-jeong: It’s super cold (emoticon)]
[Chae Yoo-jeong: Dress warmly!]
[Yoo Ji-han: Are you coming?]
[Chae Yoo-jeong: Where are we going?]
[Chae Yoo-jeong: Is it far?]
[Yoo Ji-han: No]
[Yoo Ji-han: Gangnam Station]
I put on reasonably neat clothes and left the house.
As soon as I came out of the building, a sharp wind passed through my body. The weather conditions were not particularly good, with the sky overcast and gray, as well as very windy.
‘It might rain later.’
The Meteorological Administration’s information only said it was cloudy, so I was hesitant to bring an umbrella. After thinking about it for a while, I gave up on the umbrella because I didn’t want to go up again and I was being lazy too.
[Drink some water: Are you coming?]
[Drink some water: It’s too late, so if you can, come and eat some meat]
[This is Dorahee: I’m coming there! Haha]
[Bright Clouds: around there]
[Gugusudal: On the way~ (emoticon)]
[Gugusudal: I’ll be about 10 minutes late. The bus has just stopped.]
[Harn: fr You guys, the road is no joke..]
[Harn: So I gave up on that bus and took the subway]
[Gugusudal: Oh, I should have gone too.]
[Seasoned Crab Soup: Who comes from the farthest?]
[Mocha Bread bread bread: Isn’t it you, Seasoned Crab Soup?]
[TheHunter: yeah I think it’s seasoned crab]
[Seasoned Crab Soup: Oh, that’s right]
[Seasoned Crab Soup: Since I’m from Daejeon, I’m staying overnight in Seoul today]
[Bright Clouds: It’s fortunate that you’re in Daejeon]
[Bright Clouds: If you were from Busan, it would have been difficult to come ㅋㅋ ㅋㅋ]
[Seasoned Crab Soup: It’s tough in Busan fr]
[Monster born from Capitalism: Let’s just run with the adults until it’s time for the first train ㅋㅋㅋ]
[Harn: huh?]
[Seasoned crab soup: Not bad]
[Harn: Otherwise, drink the second drink and then drink the third drink.]
[Crazy Hunting friend: I’m jealous of you guys]
[Crazy Hunting friend: It’s true that I can’t drink because I don’t have enough days before I’m legal ㅠㅠ]
[Crazy Hunting friend: (emoticon)]
[I’m sleepy: Turns out crazy hunting friend is a student]
[I’m sleepy: Did you do well on the CSAT?]
Last time I heard, I thought he said he was in his third year of high school. I was so busy with Yoo Chae that I didn’t know anything about what happened after that.
Hey. I just asked this as a greeting, what kind of response did he get?
[Crazy about hunting: !!!]
[Crazy about hunting: Huh....]
[Crazy about hunting: (emoticon)]
[Harn: omg omg omg]
[The Hunter: omg omg]
[I’m sleepy:?]
[Harn: The Department of Architecture at Korea University asks..]
[Harn: Did you do well on the CSAT?]
[Park Seungkon-ssi: Kya]
[Park Seungkon-ssi: Force omg omg]
[Bright Clouds: fckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[I’m getting lazy: So crazy ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[I’m sleepy: No;]
[Crazy Hunting Friend: I feel a sense of relative deprivation right nowㅠ]
[Harn: I agree...]
[Crazy Hunting Friend: Ha the mental damage is too great..]
[Bright Clouds: ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ]
[Monster born from Capitalism: Sleepy-nim, I didn’t see u around]
[Drink some water: fk ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[Drink some water: Relative deprivation is crazy]
[Let’s do this: Wow, this is big]
[Let’s do this: Sleepy-nim, all the images I’ve built up are about to fly away;;;]
[I’m sleepy: What are you talking about? Really ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[I’m sleepy: I was just asking...]
[Crazy Hunting Friend: That’s it]
[Crazy Hunting Friend: He can’t even understand the fragile heart of an adolescent boy…hng]
[Harn: omg]
[The Hunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ]
[The Hunter: Sleepy-nim, too much]
[Staric: ㅋㅋ it’s too much, it’s too much~]
[The Hunter:?]
[The Hunter: Hey old manㅡㅡ]
[The Hunter: Are you ready to leave?]
[Staric: Yup haha]
In the end, I couldn’t hear Crazy Hunting Friend’s CSAT results until the end, so I quietly turned off my phone and put it in my coat.
Such a strong reaction... I asked without notice. In my mind, I cheered for Crazy Hunting Friend’s future and started moving again.

“Noona.”
“Oh, are you here?”
Harn waved and approached Water, who was standing in front of the restaurant looking at her cell phone.
The two had known each other in the guild for two years and had met several times in real life. Although they called each other ‘nim’ in the game, in real life they were like older and younger siblings.
The two people met 30 minutes before the meeting time and went into the restaurant and headed to the room they had reserved. As it was a game gathering where people living in various places gathered, Water, the Guild master, and Harn, the guild manager, arrived early to make things run smoothly.
“There must be a lot of new people this year.”
Harn filled a glass with water and handed it to Water, who showed the name and room number used when making the reservation to the group chat room.
“Yes. I think there will be more than twice as many people as last year.”
As the guild grew significantly over the past year, many different people joined the guild. Of course, there were guild members who had attended last year’s meeting like Harn, but there were many more guild members who were meeting for the first time.
Harn, who was rolling his eyes with a meek face, said with his signature smile.
“Personally, I’m most curious about Sleepy-nim.”
“Me too.”
Water grinned along with Harn. There wasn’t a guild member who wasn’t curious, but the best of them all was ‘I’m sleepy.’ From the time he joined the guild in the summer until now, they had no choice but to look forward to it as he was the one who brought them a lot of fun.
In particular, in the selection match against Fever, they were thankful because if they hadn’t noticed the opponent’s tactics quickly, there would have been chaos.
“Is this the right place? Hello.”
“Gasp, Noona! It’s been a really long time. It’s been a while, Harn.”
After about 10 minutes, the attendees of the monthly meeting began to arrive one or two at a time. Let’s do this and Bright Clouds arrived first, and after that, guild members came one after another.
The room quickly became noisy just by saying hello to new people and making small talk. The number of people had already surpassed 10, so Harn ordered meat, while Water greeted the people.
“Hello.”
The 13th man to arrive opened the door and entered the room. When a handsome man with jet-black hair and a cold expression appeared, everyone looked at him with interest.
“Hello. Um... username?”
When Water asked, who greeted by everyone who came near the door, with an awkward smile, the person on the other end slightly raised the corners of his mouth and answered.
“I’m Sleepy.”
The face that seemed cold became soft with just that faint smile. He bowed his head in greeting and shook hands with Water.
“Wow, welcome. I’m Water.”
It is true that she was most looking forward to the moment when she would meet him, she never would have thought such a handsome man would come. While she was in shock while seeing ‘I’m sleepy,’ two more men came in behind him.
“I recognized you at a glance.”
“Don’t lie. Saying you can tell who someone is at a glance… And why are you speaking informally?”
“Oh my, I didn’t even realize it. I’m sorry.”
The impressions of the two people who came in while arguing were clearly polar opposites.
The black-haired man who looked irritated with a furrowed brow seemed more pretty than handsome, while the brown-haired man standing next to him had a gentle aura on his smiling face.
“Welcome. What are your usernames?”
Harn hurried forward and greeted the two men. Then both people answered at the same time.
“It’s Hunter.”
“It’s Staric.”
Crazy. The eyes of the embarrassed Harn, Water, and the sitting guild members focused on the three people.
Harn, who came to his senses belatedly, raised his slightly drooping glasses and asked.
“Did you two come here together?”
“No. We met by chance at the entrance of the store.”
Staric answered as he sat down in the empty seat. The seat next to him was filled by The Hunter, and the seat in front was filled by I’m sleepy.
“As soon as I saw you, I knew it was Hunter. Hunter didn’t seem to know me.”
“What. Then why don’t you just proudly pretend to know? You pretended to know only after I got to the front of the room.”
“Huh? I guess you were disappointed.”
“Don’t talk nonsense.”
The Hunter, who responded harshly to Staric’s joke, finally noticed the man ‘I’m sleepy’ sitting across from him and tilted his head.
“What’s your username?”
“I’m sleepy.”
As he recited exactly what he said when introducing himself earlier, The Hunter’s black eyes sparkled with joy.
“I wanted to meet you for a long time. If it’s okay, can you tell me your real name? I’m Lee Cha-hyun.”
“You can call me Yoo Ji-han.”
Staric, who had been watching the conversation between the two with a smile, suddenly joined in.
“I’m Seo Jeong-heon.”
“What, man, why do you keep interfering?”
“Because it looks fun?”
Harn, who was watching the three people sitting at the end of the table talking, spoke to Water in a deep voice.
“Focusing on that side is really not a joke... Is this okay?”
“There’s nothing I can do about it. You can’t kick him out just because he’s handsome.”
“He said he was ‘I’m sleepy.’ since you had something to talk about separately with him later, I wonder if you can even call him out in this state…”
“I know.......”
After hearing Harn’s concerns, Water let out a deep sigh.
