Of course, no matter how enlightened you are, you can’t win every game.

But the atmosphere didn’t get as tense as it did when I was with Seo Ye-rin.

“No, what is that kid doing?!”

Yoo Ah-rin grabs my shoulder and shouts.

Suddenly, our teammate starts throwing things at us, saying that he has to go eat, and he starts venting his frustration.

As I continued to watch from the side, I felt like I had come to some realization.

“Woojin, this might be a bit difficult.”

Choi Yi-seo also sighed and expressed her regret.

In this case, it would be correct to view it as a natural disaster.

“Hey, get out of the way. I’m going to give that kid some double swearing.”

I urgently stop Yu Ah-rin from trying to chat by stealing my keyboard.

“I’m eating the money.”

“Oh, what’s going on? Huh? Shouldn’t you be playing games properly?!”

Seo Ye-rin and Bae Ji-hye are also feeling regretful, as if they have already given up.

As we all did this together, we started to share our anger and joy.

So in the end.

[victory!]

[Promoted to Gold Tier!]

The moment I saw what appeared on the screen, I was overcome with emotion and began to cry without realizing it.

Honestly, I didn’t think it was anything special.

I wondered if it was really necessary to work this hard just to get a game tier, but now that I’ve actually reached my goal, I feel a sense of accomplishment.

“Ah, finally.”

As all the strength left my body and I dropped my hands, Choi Yi-seo and Yoo Ah-rin hugged me from either side.

“Good job, Woojin! You really worked hard!”

“That was freaking awesome at the end!”

“Ughhh.”

Is this paradise?

My gold run, which started at lunchtime on Friday, ended on Sunday evening.

I lived in a PC room, barely sleeping, and it felt like something was wrong with my body.

The reason my condition wasn’t any worse here was because the kids would force me to stretch every now and then and always eat outside to get some fresh air.

“That’s touching.”

“It’s so hard to get gold.”

Choi Jin-ah and Bae Ji-hye also sympathized with us in their own way. In any case, it could be said that the two of them also had a sufficient share of my gold.

“At first, I didn’t think it was that important. But now that I’m doing this with you guys, I feel strangely touched.”

I feel proud that after going to the military, I will no longer be teased as a Bronze and can proudly say that I am a Gold.

“Let’s go, I’ll buy something delicious today.”

Everyone must be tired, but shouldn’t we have a company dinner? Since it’s dinner time, let’s buy something expensive like steak and end it, and everyone cheers.

So I’m finally trying to escape the PC room.

“Okay, wait a minute! Wait a minute! ”

Seo Ye-rin, still sitting on her chair, called out to us urgently.

“I’m still silver!”

Of course, no one looked back.

Didn’t we all probably think the same thing?

“Yerin-ah.”

You are right there.

A few days later, Yerin received the sad news that she had been demoted back to Bronze.

* * *

Two items on my bucket list were accomplished at the same time.

One is to stay up all night playing games at a PC room.

Another one is to get Gold Rank.

Since I did both at the same time, I crossed off the note on my phone where I had written my bucket list.

Swish.

[Get Gold Rank]

[Staying up all night at the PC room]

“Oh, right.”

[Going to the hotel with four people]

I achieved the surprising feat of being the first to succeed at what I thought would be the most difficult.

It wasn’t that long ago, but I still have dreams about that night.

Because it was literally a collection of lust and pleasure.

Wasn’t that place practically Sodom and Gomorrah?

Anyway, I had a really fun weekend.

It’s so funny that I can’t help but laugh while listening to the lecture on Monday.

-Jung Chan-woo: Who wants to drink today?

– Ahn Hyun-ho: I’m busy today.

– Ahn Hyun-ho: I decided to go out and play with Gyu-ah.

-Jung Chan-woo: F*ck

-Jung Chan-woo: Woo-jin, are you going to drink with me today?

– Jeong Chan-woo: You’re not going to follow a woman like Ahn Hyeon-ho, are you?

– Ahn Hyun-ho: What the heck

It’s funny that the guy who hung out with the most girls is acting like that because he’s going to the military.

– Kim Woo-jin: I have an appointment today.

Unfortunately, I’m a pretty busy person these days.

Since I’m going into the military, I’ve had a few appointments, and today is one of them.

-Jung Chan-woo: Okay

-Jung Chan-woo: I miss you guys.

– Kim Woo-jin: You gay bastard.

– Ahn Hyun-ho: Get out of the chat room because it’s getting dirty.

-Jeong Chan -woo: Chew.

“Hmm.”

After thinking about it for a moment, I send a message to Chanwoo again.

– Kim Woo-jin: Will you go with me?

– Kim Woo-jin: I think it would be okay if we went together.

-Jung Chan-woo: Really?

– Kim Woojin: Yeah

I don’t think there will be any problem.

It seemed better to go together than to go alone.

-Jung Chan-woo: But what are you going to do?

– Kim Woo-jin: To learn about men’s romance.

-Jung Chan-woo: ?

– Ahn Hyun-ho: If it were me, I wouldn’t go.

– Ahn Hyun-ho: It makes me really anxious to see that kid talking like that.

– Kim Woo-jin: Then don’t learn.

– Kim Woo-jin: I won’t take responsibility even if you get beaten up somewhere.

– Ahn Hyun-ho: What is it?

– Ahn Hyun-ho: What are you going to learn?

– Kim Woo-jin: Fight.

* * *

Although I said it grandly as a fight, in reality I was going to learn self-defense.

And it was arranged by my older brother.

At first, I said no, asking if I was learning self-defense.

As a father of three, he said he felt he needed to learn some self-defense.

I’m the type of person who would get stabbed on the street…

I didn’t necessarily say that the kids’ pregnancy was a lie.

At first I was worried, but soon I realized that I just had to make it true.

anyway.

So I thought it wouldn’t be a bad idea to learn some self-defense techniques.

“Hey, are you really here to learn this?”

“I’m really good at fighting.”

“Do some shit.”

Jeong Chan-woo is bored because he’s alone.

An Hyeon-ho broke his promise with his girlfriend and followed her because he was bored.

And me too.

We head to the gym that my older brother told us about, bragging to each other.

“Guys, you’re misunderstanding something. I go to the gym a lot. I’m famous there.”

Jung Chan-woo showing off his arm muscles.

I know that, though.

Because Choi Yi-seo and Jung Chan-woo are famous good-looking men and women at that gym.

But I am not the one who loses.

“Hey, don’t you know Kim Woojin from Homet? My core muscles are no joke.”

“How would you know that I’m doing homework, you idiot.”

“A baby frog in a well.”

Anyway, these kids become really smart when they swear at others.

Unlike the two of us, Ahn Hyun-ho just shrugs his shoulders and shakes his head.

“Hey guys, do you know Hohanggo? If you just say Ahn Hyunho’s name, all the kids will gather there.”

“Hohanggo? If you tap me on the shoulder, I think I’ll answer like this: hohanghang hoae.”

“You’re proud to be from a bullying background, you idiot. Don’t you get what you pay for?”

“Ahem.”

“No, but you can tell just by looking at it that I’m in the best shape, right?”

“Ha. Are you trying to show off with balloon muscles? Look at me. My perfectly toned body.”

“Guys. Talking about fighting with muscles is really lowbrow. Experience, guts, fists, and romance. That’s all-.”

So we entered the gym, still showing off our worthless boasts.

The moment I saw the person waiting for us there, my mouth fell shut.

“Are you here?”

It’s been a while since I’ve seen a dragon jumper.

Senior Joohee, who was wearing a black hand wrap, greeted me.

“Oh, hello?”

“Senior?”

The other two people were going inside, surprised and dumbfounded.

I alone was frozen, standing at the entrance.

Senior Joohee?

Why here?

While I was having various questions, my senior gestured to a door.

“Go and get some gloves and headgear that fit your size.”

“Yep!”

“I’ll bring it right away!”

Two people went inside.

I was just standing there dumbfounded, and my senior glanced at me and asked me.

“I heard you came alone?”

“Ah, yes… … That’s how it was originally. I thought it would be good for them to learn a little too.”

“Yeah.”

Senior who didn’t show any particular reaction.

‘Because I’m a capable bodyguard.’

The words my senior told me at the pension come to mind again.

Come to think of it, I haven’t had a chance to meet my senior like this since then.

First, I followed the kids into the room.

“I’m a little excited.”

“This is a jackpot.”

The two people went out as soon as I came in. I went into my room alone and took out my cell phone and called my brother.

– hello?

“Was the teacher who told you to learn self-defense senior Joohee?”

– Yeah, I told the security team leader and he said that Min Joo-hee, who is close to you, would be fine.

“… … .”

– Since I had gotten his contact information when I went to Hawaii, I asked him directly and he said yes.

“… … .”

– Don’t worry. You’ll get a generous allowance.

That’s not what I was worried about.

“Ha, if I get divorced, it’s because of my brother.”

– ……what?

Stop.

I hung up the phone, grabbed some gloves and headgear, and headed outside.

The ones waiting are senior Joohee and the other guys.

Since my senior was already doing warm-up exercises, I quickly went over to them and started warming up with them.

“Okay, everyone, pay attention.”

After the warm-up, our senior immediately focused our attention.

I was worried that something might happen, but looking at my senior’s indifferent expression, it seemed like that wouldn’t happen.

“Originally, Woojin was supposed to teach only one person.”

Guys who are slowly starting to notice things.

But the senior continues his explanation lightly.

“But since you guys are here, I’ll do a quick test to see how well you’re doing.”

Then the senior took a few steps back and made a suggestion.

“Let’s spar. If we just do it for a minute, I think I’ll be able to teach you guys something.”

“Oh.”

“Something feels like an expert.”

The other two guys are curious and want to step forward to do it first.

But I felt strangely uneasy, so I just kept my mouth shut.

The one-minute sparring that came to fruition like that.

The opponent is Ahn Hyun-ho.

“Senior, honestly, I fought a bit when I was in high school?”

“… … .”

“You’ll feel like you’re on a different level from those rascals.”

Ding!

The moment it starts, Ahn Hyun-ho’s fist flies in.

Bam!

And then he fell down.

Hyunho Ahn.

“Huh?”

“What is it?”

What did we just see?

Chanwoo and I rubbed our eyes with our gloved hands and looked again, and there was Ahn Hyunho, fallen down.

“Next.”

The senior who immediately kicked Ahn Hyun-ho and pushed him out of the ring.

Since I was quiet earlier, the next person to be called was naturally Jeong Chan-woo.

“Wait a minute. Senior? Did you just measure your skills with that? It was 1 second, not 1 minute?”

“I figured it out.”

The senior nodded absentmindedly, glanced at Ahn Hyeon-ho, and then gave a calm evaluation.

“Clumsily.”

“… … .”

Ding!

Just then the bell rang again.

Bam!

thud!

Jeong Chan-woo lies down quietly next to Ahn Hyun-ho.

“Both are sloppy.”

As I blinked and watched the situation, my senior took a deep breath and nodded.

“Next.”

“What is this, senior, to relieve stress or something?”

“No.”

“But why did you make the kids like that?”

“… … Because it’s bothering me.”

“Yes?”

“ done.”

Jiiik!

A senior taking off his jumper.

All that was left was a black tank top that clearly showed her belly button.

The senior, who had suddenly increased his exposure, took a stance and spoke.

“Why are you taking it off all of a sudden?”

“It’s hot. It’s hot when you spar.”

“You just punched me twice?”

“Okay, come up to the ring. I’ll show you how.”

“… … What?”

My senior didn’t give me a separate answer to my question.
