“Haam.”

Lately, I’ve been having a lot of leisurely days.

Ever since I came back from playing with the kids at the pool villa.

There was only one reason.

Enlistment.

“Is it really necessary to live so hard?”

I won’t be here in mid-January anyway.

So let’s just lie there, Ahn Hyun-ho and Jeong Chan-woo, who are having lunch together, let out a sigh.

“This is also a start.”

“I guess all people who go to the military are the same. It was the same for Han Kang and Jin Ho hyung.”

Should we call it a kind of mannerism?

If I had to pick a name, I would say it’s lethargy.

When I started to feel like I really had to work hard in college, everything just became a bother.

Even though I feel like I should be doing something more because my time out in society is a waste,

That didn’t mean I wanted to study hard at school.

“Hey, but aren’t you guys going to the military?”

When I asked, both of them answered together.

“I have to go.”

“We got a warrant too?”

“When was it?”

“Us? Early January.”

What the heck are these guys?

He goes before me.

“But why are you not bothered? Isn’t it usually so hard?”

“We’re enlisting together, so it’s a little better.”

“We’ve already resolved our differences. Let’s focus on our studies until we leave.”

“… … .”

Something.

Something is a bit something something.

Even though it’s fun to hang out with them, I don’t think they’re that important of a person.

I feel a little bad because I just found out that these guys are enlisting together without me.

And then they played among themselves without me, so I feel sad for no reason.

“Are you bullying me?”

When I asked in absurdity, the two people frowned.

Rather, I really get annoyed by the gazes that seem to indicate that it’s my fault.

“What are you looking at?”

“You crazy bastard.”

“Should I kill that thing?”

“I didn’t know it.”

He covers her mouth with his hand and nods, telling her to hurry up and talk.

“You’re busy with work, that’s why you’re like that, you punk.”

“That’s right. No matter how many times I call, they say they’re having a hard time because they’re busy with work.”

“Ah… … .”

Yeah, that’s right.

When I was busy with Space Global, no matter how much the kids contacted me, we never had time to play together.

In the first place, it was difficult to even play with our kids back then.

“Not now. I quit my job.”

“Because he was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, he does whatever he wants.”

“Then let’s have a drink together later. But we should get together and have fun before I enlist.”

It’s good, but it’s good.

“I’m saying this just in case. Keep it simple. The three of us will just gather at a pork belly restaurant and part ways on bad terms.”

I still get goosebumps when I think about the situation that Kang Han-gang and Pyo Jin-ho had.

I didn’t want to go through that twice, and the other two nodded in agreement.

“Of course.”

“The three of us will never get together.”

After talking with determination, we eat lunch.

Stir-fried pork for lunch.

Originally, we were going to meet up with our kids and eat together, but everyone said it was too difficult because they were all busy.

“Hey, did you get a letter from your hyungs? Wow, I never would have guessed that you would send me a letter.”

“He told me to send him a lot of e-mails. Copy and paste the woman’s photo.”

“I threw it away as soon as I got it.”

“Me too.”

“Woojin is smart.”

You could say it’s our future, but that’s something we’ll think about when the time comes.

At that moment, Ahn Hyun-ho’s cell phone rings.

The guy who confirmed it is grinning with his philtrum stretching out.

“Ah, Gyu-ah sent me coffee because she’s sorry she can’t have lunch with me. Let’s eat this and go to a cafe.”

“… … .”

“… … .”

Hey kid, look at that brag.

It seems like it wasn’t that long ago that Gyu-ah came out of a meeting crying, saying that she thought I was cheating on her.

I sent a quick message to our group chat.

– Kim Woo-jin: Ah.

– Kim Woo-jin: I feel lonely so I want to drink some coffee.

“… … .”

Nobody reads it.

“Hey, isn’t your girlfriend sending you anything?”

Feeling embarrassed for no reason, I asked Chanwoo next to me, and Chanwoo’s expression distorted and he immediately raised his middle finger.

“I don’t have a girlfriend?”

“Really? You? Why?”

“Hey, he told you last time.”

Hyunho Ahn steps in as mediator.

I also heard at the pension that Chanwoo didn’t have a girlfriend, but I never thought that he didn’t have one until now.

“No, you’re the one who keeps changing women like Gundam parts. So of course I thought you had a new girlfriend by now.”

“… … .”

“He liked being surrounded by women at the pension. I thought he would just pick any girl and date her.”

“Whew, I’m going to calm down a bit. I think I’ve been dating too indiscriminately up until now.”

“I just realized it now.”

“You fucking idiot.”

A guy who pouts and pouts as soon as we swear at him.

If a girl did that, I’d say she’s cute, but when a guy does that, I want to kill him.

“Anyway, the problem is that he’s handsome. If he did that, the girls would go, “Wow! He’s so cute!” and bite him like crazy.”

“Ah, you little shit. You’re so fucking disgusting. You’re a perfect match for a real old man.”

“If you talk about Mr. Oh one more time, I’ll really kill you.”

Jung Chan-woo, who was showing off his fierce and murderous aura. At that moment, I checked the text message that said he wanted to drink coffee.

– Yoo Ah-rin: oh

Well, as expected.

– Choi Yi-seo: I’m listening to the lecture.

Look, the lecture is more important than me.

‘What is Yerin doing?’

I checked, but there was no reply.

If it were Seo Ye-rin, she would have replied the moment she checked.

Of course, the reply may be a little late, but I was perplexed because it is rare for a reply to be late after reading it.

“He’s been looking at his phone since he started eating.”

“Are you chatting with the kids?”

Even though I finished eating the stir-fried pork and left the restaurant, there was no reply from Yerin.

Even though I called you several times through text.

– Kim Woo-jin: Ye-rin?

– Kim Woo-jin: Yerin? What’s wrong?

– Kim Woo-jin: Should I go there?

– Kim Woo-jin: If anything comes up, just send me a message.

– Kim Woojin: Yerin?

– Yoo Ah-rin: Ah, I found a suitable one and chewed it out.

– Yoo Ah-rin: Send it to Gantalk. Why are you making a fuss in the group chat?

– Choi Yi-seo: I’m turning off notifications because I’m in class.

– Kim Woo-jin: No, there’s no reply from Ye-rin.

I’m worried and wondering what’s going on.

Boooow!

Heavy driving noise.

Beyond the guys who were removing the pepper powder stuck in their teeth with a toothpick, a heavy black van was coming our way.

“Isn’t that it?”

“Ah, Yerin?”

Ahn Hyun-ho and Jung Chan-woo also immediately noticed that Seo Ye-rin was an actress.

As I quickly turned toward the road, Ben stopped in front of me.

Knock knock!

The door opens and Seo Ye-rin extends her hand.

“Get on! I’ll explain later!”

what.

At some point, without realizing it, I was holding Seo Ye-rin’s hand and going inside.

“Hey, what’s that kid doing? Hey! Where are you going!”

“Hey, you little punk! You lost at rock-paper-scissors, so you decided to buy bread at the cafe!”

I heard Ahn Hyun-ho and Jeong Chan-woo’s voices from behind, but I was already inside as if possessed, and the van started off.

“What is it, what’s going on?”

Only then did I come to my senses and sit down awkwardly, and Seo Ye-rin, who was laughing playfully, shouted.

“Tomorrow is the weekend!”

“Yeah, right.”

“You have to complete your bucket list, Woojina! You don’t have much time left!”

“Well, that’s true.”

It’s December now.

If we have to be exact, we can say that there is about a month left.

When I think about it this way, I realize there really isn’t much time left.

But bucket list?

What does it accomplish?

When I looked at her curiously, Seo Ye-rin confidently stuck her chest out and shouted.

“Gotta get gold!”

Gold?

“Game?”

Oh, gold tier?

LOF, the game we play.

Seo Ye-rin and I are in bronze tier.

To get to Gold tier you must go through Silver.

In short, it means that we need to go up two levels.

From what I understand, it usually takes about 30 games to go from Bronze to Gold if you keep winning.

That means you have to do at least 30 rounds.

If you play 30 rounds of a 30-minute game, that’s 900 minutes.

In terms of time, it’s 15 hours.

But can we just win this?

Considering that I’m losing, I can’t even guess how much more time will be added.

“That, Yerin?”

“Oh! Don’t worry! I practiced a lot!”

Seo Ye-rin’s cell phone was lying on the chair, and a video of famous players playing was playing on it.

“… … .”

“Sister! Go straight to the PC room! I reserved a couple’s seat, Woojina! We’re going to run wild all weekend!”

“Ahem, Yerin? I don’t have to do that.”

First, we need to calm down Seo Ye-rin, who is very excited.

It also seems necessary to completely revise this crazy plan.

Because.

‘If you turn it on with Yerin, you’ll never be able to get it.’

Seo Ye-rin’s stage personality is even better expressed in the game.

“Gold? Oh, you don’t have to go for that.”

“… … .”

“Rather than that, let’s just go to a cafe. I found a nice cafe that I wanted to go to with you guys. Manager, let’s go there-!”

Bam!

I tried to ask her to change the destination, but Seo Ye-rin grabbed me by the back of my neck and warned me.

“Stay still, Kim Woojin.”

“… … .”

“We’re going to go, win, and go for gold. Got it?”

“… … Yep.”

“Joang!”

Yoo Ah-rin often calls Seo Ye-rin a crazy bitch, and I think I can relate to that now.

The manager eventually dropped us off in front of the PC room.

“Oh yeah! I’m so excited! It’s been a while since I’ve been to a PC room!”

My manager called me, leaving Seo Ye-rin behind as she ran inside, jumping up and down in excitement.

“That, Woojin? Yerin has cleared all her schedules until next week.”

“… … Because of this?”

“Is that all? I’ve left out everything except the important stuff until mid-January. Do you know why?”

“Ahem, sorry.”

“I’m not trying to blame you. It’s not like Yerin forced herself to lose weight, she just worked too hard.”

“… … .”

“You pushed yourself too hard to be with Woojin, so treat me well. Yes? Gold? Let’s do that together. Even though she didn’t say anything, I was really looking forward to it.”

“Big, I understand.”

“Okay, fine. Then I’ll go. You two take care.”

Is it because I heard what my manager said?

When I hear the story of Seo Ye-rin working hard for me, my heart aches for no reason.

‘Oh, I don’t know.’

Okay, let’s do it.

The time now is 1pm on Friday.

Currently Seo Ye-rin and I are in bronze.

The moment I stepped inside with the sole intention of completing a crazy gold run over the weekend.

Woof! Woof! Woof!

“Ah, what is it?”

The vibration of a cell phone that ruins the mood.

“Woojina! Come on! The noble general’s blood inside me is boiling!”

“Okay, just wait a minute.”

– Choi Jin-ah –

It was an unexpected call from Choi Jin-ah.

“Hello?”

– Where are you?

“Huh? Why all of a sudden?”

– Um… just like that?

What the heck, are you bored again?

“I’m at the PC room right now. I came here to play games with Yerin.”

Jinah Choi responds quickly to my words.

– Give me the address. I want to play too. I’m bored.

“What PC games do you play? I see that I don’t really do anything special on my computer.”

To those words, Choi Jin-ah replied with a sly smile.

– Well, when did I ever know and follow Mr. Woojin?

“Yes?”

– Okay, send me the address.

“Ask Yerin.”

– … … .

“Our date, you say?”

– tooth.

After saying that, I was about to hang up the phone.

– Oh, just a moment.

“Yes?”

Choi Jin-ah calls in a hurry.

Then he asked me something that seemed quite important.

– It’s a PC room, right? There’s a lot of snacks there?

“… … .”

– I saw Popo’s mukbang last time, and I wanted to go there sometime.

“Okay, I’ll hang up.”

– Be sure to tell Yerin. I really want to go there sometime.

“Oh, I got it. Should I hang up?”

– Really? I won’t bother you. I’ll just eat some rice cakes and ramen next to you.

“I got it, pig.”

– yes?!

Stop.

After hanging up the phone, I went straight into the PC room.

Before I knew it, Yerin was waiting for me, wearing a hat and mask from her bag and wearing a headset.

“What, who’s calling? Iseo? Arin?”

“No, voice phishing.”

“Aha?”
