After the meat party ended, I woke up from my sleep.

Perhaps due to drinking thinking it was water in the meat, my head hurt as if it would split open.

Checking my smartphone, I realized it was the weekend and tried to get some more sleep. Placing the phone beside my head, I rolled over.

Then, with a sense of breathing and the wind blowing in.

What on earth? Where is this fragrance coming from…

I opened my eyes to check what it was.

There was Ji-won smiling and sleeping in front of me.

Ah… I drank last night, and the problem arises immediately.

Realizing the power of soju.

I don’t know why this guy is sleeping in my bed.

Fortunately, his clothes seem intact, so he probably didn’t cross any lines.

I don’t understand why he’s only wearing underwear.

I don’t think I undressed him.

I couldn’t say for sure since my memory was fuzzy, but one thing was clear.

“Get up, you jerk!!!”

-Bam!!!

Kim Ji-won’s breath stinks.

I woke him up early and told him to brush his teeth right away.

He seemed to mumble something, but I brushed my teeth alongside him.

“This doesn’t make us look like a couple, does it?”

“I didn’t know you had a girlfriend.”

“Seriously, thinking that makes you a slave.”

Ji-won was talking about Seong-ah noona, but I already knew about that.

We finished brushing our teeth and returned to the room to watch YouTube.

I thought watching YouTube in bed on the weekend wasn’t a bad choice.

There’s nothing better than this.

After finishing brushing our teeth, Ji-won seemed to be doing something in the kitchen.

“Hey, check this out.”

Ji-won brought a frying pan and showed me something.

“Hey, the smell and visual are just sexy, aren’t they?”

Showing me the stir-fried pork.

The first thought that came to mind when I quietly smelled it was this.

“Oh.. This is just orgasmic.”

Although I felt our words were really crude, we always talked like this.

Now it just feels natural.

“Don’t you dare upload this on YouTube, you’ll get demonetized instantly.”

Ji-won nodded at my words, understanding, and started setting the table.

He suggested eating rice with kimchi, egg roll, and kimchi.

He seemed like he couldn’t make kimchi stew.

He can’t make kimchi stew, that’s all.

We sat down and ate together.

“This is just yatsu.”

Ji-won nodded at my words, asking if he cooks well.

Honestly, I have to admit.

He seems better than me.

After the meal, Ji-won went into the next room to work.

He asked to borrow my computer, and I agreed.

Now I have to think about what to do on Sunday while lying down.

I should clean the house.

I didn’t feel like moving, maybe because I’m tired these days.

While lying there for a while, Ji-won started getting angry and came into my room.

Wondering what was going on, I asked him what the matter was.

“Jihoo! Quickly give me the mic!”

I don’t know why he’s looking for a mic in our house.

I thought maybe he wanted to use the mic plugged into the computer, so I handed him the computer mic and asked what was wrong.

I didn’t think he was the type to get this angry.

When I asked why he was acting this way…

**

I used to play an online game.

It felt like coming home after a long time, entering the online game.

I even asked my guildmates if something was wrong.

I didn’t know what to say seeing them worried.

My game character was prepared as a female, but within the guild, I was treated as a goddess priest.

-Obviously, anyone can see I’m a guy.

A user started questioning my gender.

Though I was furious at being misgendered, now I could respond.

In the past, I could have confidently said, “Yeah, I’m a guy.”

But now that I’ve become a confident woman!

I could now say that I am a woman.

– Nah, I’m a woman.

– Seriously?

And I didn’t fully believe it.

Well, there aren’t many female users in this game.

So, I thought it was natural to doubt.

They asked for proof, but since I couldn’t provide any, there was nothing I could do.

– Wanna try voice chatting?

One of my guild members suggested trying voice chat.

Since my laptop’s microphone was broken and I couldn’t voice chat when everyone else usually did.

“Let’s try it. And let’s move away from net cafe treatment!”

**

“That’s how it happened.”

After hearing those words, I didn’t know what to say.

Looking at Jiwon, who had set up the microphone, I spoke into it.

“Can you hear me?”

At Jiwon’s words, most people started to quiet down.

And 10 minutes later…

“Oh… the voice chat performance is solid.”

Jiwon pointed to the monitor, speaking with a hint of suspicion.

– Your voice sounds young. Are you a student?

– Your voice is cute!!

– Do you need any items?

– Where do you live?

People are being too blatant.

Their intentions are clear at once.

Jiwon seems to enjoy it, laughing at the situation.

I thought about giving them a smack on the head, but that seemed too much, so I decided to wait and see.

And as we chatted for a while,

A message popped up on Jiwon’s account with a ping sound.

“I’m sorry for doubting earlier. Can you send me a selfie?”

The message also included an email address.

Jiwon chuckled and said, “I can’t help it,” before turning off the voice chat and heading towards the mirror.

Then, holding the smartphone, they positioned themselves in front of the mirror to take a picture.

It’s strange.

I didn’t think much of it at first.

But seeing Jiwon trying to take a picture…

It made me feel uneasy.

“Hey, don’t.”

I covered the lens of Jiwon’s smartphone and told them not to do it.

“Huh? Why are you doing this?”

Jiwon asked, tilting their head in confusion.

What should I say?

Should I tell them that I feel uncomfortable because someone other than me might see Jiwon?

“You… You should present yourself well! If you just send photos randomly, they might get leaked somewhere…”

Upon hearing my words, Jiwon laughed and looked at me.

“Well… damn, I don’t want others to see your body. Why can’t I do it?”

In response to my words, Jiwon burst out laughing and stared at me.

“It’s okay, I wasn’t planning to send them anyway.”

Saying that, Jiwon picked up the smartphone.

My phone vibrated.

Jiwon sent over the pictures they had just taken.

“Use them as side dishes when you want.”

“Don’t use them, you jerk!”

“If you think of using these as side dishes, I’ll just smash my Baobab tree.”

“Baobab tree, seriously.”

**

This Kang Ji-hoo.

He’s not answering my calls.

I told him to come out, so why isn’t he coming?

Is he ignoring me?

I’m Choi Seong-a, a girl with a pretty face who receives confessions all the time.

But it makes me angry that Ji-hoo is ignoring me like this.

When I arrived at Ji-hoo’s house.

“I’ll throw away the trash and come back.”

A woman came out of Ji-hoo’s house.

I clearly told him not to meet her. Yet, he keeps meeting her.

And he claims she’s just a friend, living together with some crazy person calling her a friend.

It makes me mad. I wanted to go inside Ji-hoo’s house and confront him, but now even if I speak to him, he probably won’t listen.

Thinking that following that woman might be the right thing to do, I started following her.

While following her, I noticed one thing.

‘Her chest is ridiculously big.’

It’s definitely because of that chest.

Even though Ji-hoo isn’t that kind of guy, he must be captivated by that chest.

Thinking that I should go and give advice, I approached the woman.

“Excuse me, do you know…”

“Yes… yes…”

The girl lowered her head as if she were dead and spoke.

Is this guy a nerd? Why does he look so nerdy?

From this point on, I already felt like I had won.

But I need to make it clear.

“I’m telling you, Kang Ji-hoo already has someone.”

“So, Ji-hoo, don’t mess with him.”

The woman continued to bow her head at my words.

I was just trying to speak plainly. Now it seems like I’m harassing her.

Still, since I’ve given enough warning, she should back off on her own.

I tried to turn around and go to Ji-hoo’s house, but…

“Ji… Ji-hoo… Please don’t make it difficult for him.”

The girl who seemed like a nerd started talking.

“What? Are you saying I made things difficult for Ji-hoo?”

I don’t understand what she’s talking about.

I’ve always helped Ji-hoo.

If I mention something negative, it’s just about that issue.

Whether it’s about his dead fashion sense or being a beginner in relationships, I’m just trying to help him properly.

Is that making things difficult?

Feeling incredulous, I approached the girl who seemed like a nerd and spoke.

“How did I make things difficult for you?”

At my words, the girl said nothing and just kept bowing her head.

See, she can’t say anything after all.

Just as I was about to turn away…

“You… You’re treating me like an emotional trash can.”

“If that’s how it is, just use Twitter!”

The girl started shouting right then and there.
