After eating soup with Seo Ye-rin, we were walking outside for a while.

No, to be honest, I was trying to go home, but Seo Ye-rin was just following me without saying anything.

At first, I thought about just saying goodbye, but that felt like too much of a push away.

“Are you busy?”

He hints and asks if there is anything else going on. In the case of Seo Ye-rin, isn’t there always something like a promise?

Because he is very popular and is known to have a good personality.

“Yeah, no promises. Normally, right now is the time to listen to the lecture.”

But the words she spoke were a bit heavy, so they settled into my heart. If you don’t do it right, you’ll end up feeling like you’re eating the soup you just ate.

“Now, you held your own public lecture?”

When I asked in confusion, Yerin put her hands together and wiggled them, nodding.

“Yes. “I just came because I heard you were here.”

It wasn’t something I cared about since it was Seo Ye-rin’s GPA, but it still bothered me that she skipped class to meet me.

I felt like I would feel guilty if I just let him go from here.

‘Is he trying to make me feel guilty by wiggling around like that?’

The sight of her twitching her fingers like some sort of hamster made me feel even more sorry for her.

In fact, if she were to just leave here, she would turn into a crazy bitch who went to college just to eat soup.

‘Ha, that doesn’t mean I have anything to do with him… … .’

I thought there wasn’t one, but there was one thing that caught my eye.

PC room.

Since it was a street with many college students living in studio apartments, there were naturally plenty of things to do.

“You said you were doing LOF, right?”

As she spoke, recalling what she had heard in the lecture last time, Seo Ye-rin looked at her PC room and nodded her head.

“let’s go.”

Although it was a bit unexpected, I ended up in the PC room with Seo Ye-rin.

I looked at the time and it was now 4 o’clock.

Since I was supposed to meet Choi Yi-seo at 6 o’clock, about 2 hours was the perfect time to play games.

As I entered the PC room, the eyes of the men around me who were using computers naturally focused on Seo Ye-rin.

Obviously, when I came in, everyone would just talk to each other and play games, but I wonder if their multitasking skills were this good.

‘Does he usually go around feeling like this?’

I hesitated because I thought it was quite burdensome to have people’s eyes on me so intensely.

“what’s the matter?”

Seo Ye-rin, whose gaze was actually directed at her, asked casually.

‘No, it’s not that it’s nothing.’

She had gotten used to it.

In the eyes of people around me.

Even though you only entered the PC room, you were met with attention from people around you and voices commenting on your appearance or whispering obscenities.

“…….”

Honestly, for the first time, I felt sorry for Seo Ye-rin.

She seemed to know again why Seo Ye-rin was active under the nickname Anonymous 69.

“I like the corner seat.”

“Oh, me too.”

Seo Ye-rin responds immediately to what I say. I deliberately give her her seat right next to the wall and I sit right next to her.

“Wow, Mr. “Look at your face.”

“Go and talk to him.”

“You crazy guy, you came with your boyfriend.”

“Aren’t those kids going to become celebrities later?”

Even as I turned on the computer, the whispering voices still flowed in with the game sound.

I can hear everything, but that doesn’t mean I can’t hear Seo Ye-rin.

But she turns on LOF as if nothing is wrong.

“Woojin, what is your nickname?”

When she asked by slightly turning her head, I took off her headset hanging on the wall and handed it to her.

“Put this on.”

“… … Is it next to you? “Can I use the microphone?”

“Uh, I always wear a headset when I play games.”

no.

To be honest, I don’t really like wearing earphones.

Still, if you want to listen to all the noise around you, it would be better to just wear a headset.

I’m not her Seo Ye-rin’s boyfriend, so I have no reason to protect her, and I’m not good at fighting because I like her sports or gangsters.

So let’s just ignore it.

With that in mind, when I held out her headset again, Yerin Seo looked at it blankly and nodded with a strange smile.

“Are you a game expert?”

It also has its own humor mixed in.

It was a bit of a weird situation where I was talking through the headset microphone while sitting next to me, but I logged into the game anyway.

“nickname?”

When Seo Ye-rin asks again, I answer with annoyance.

“Yeokcheonpot.”

“Yeokcheonpot?”

“It’s an abbreviation for the greatest genius supporter of all time.”

It was originally a nickname for a professional player, but I just chose it based on something similar.

“you?”

I stick my head out and look at Seo Ye-rin’s screen.

The nickname of a top soldier located in the brilliant Bronze 4 tier.

“… … “Did you win the lane battle?”

As I mumble, Seo Ye-rin clenches her fists and nods, pretending to show off her biceps.

“I win most lane battles.”

“and.”

I really don’t want to be with you.

That’s a phrase most people use when blaming others, with the feeling that I won but you lost because you didn’t do well.

Seo Ye-rin pouted her lips as if she could see my feelings in her expression.

“Why? “Is it real?”

“Okay, let’s do it.”

I’m Silver and he’s Bronze, so I can play ranked games.

We started playing right away.

Among the supports, I chose the so-called grab type character that forcibly drags the opponent in front of me.

The character chosen by Seo Ye-rin was a furry barbarian warrior who was naked from the waist up and wielded two axes.

‘It really doesn’t suit me.’

Do you know that you are playing such a character with this face?

Honestly, it was hard to imagine.

Anyway, the game started.

At exactly 3 minutes.

First score!

Seo Ye-rin took the lead by splitting her opponent’s character in two.

“Just trust your sister.”

Seo Ye-rin confidently declares.

A sneaky smile appeared on her lips, she was the happiest I had seen her today.

After that, the game continued.

The game went smoothly as Seo Ye-rin killed her opponent five times in her lane alone.

“Hey, all the kids go there. Take it out.”

The problem started after that.

Even though I clearly gave her a briefing, Seo Yerin stubbornly attacked her tower and ended up being killed by her opponent’s ADC.

Money pouring in from the rainwater.

The opponent who reassuringly picked up items with Seo Ye-rin’s old money.

Opponent: lol

It was just that one chat, but Seo Ye-rin bit her lip and wrote something in response.

“ah.”

Even when she presses enter, Yerin’s chat does not appear, and only her exclamation comes out.

I wanted to check something.

Due to the cumulative number of reports, chatting in the next five games has been banned.

“Did you even eat the money?”

I was so dumbfounded that when I said something, Seo Ye-rin cringed and muttered.

“I was a martyr.”

“These are really harsh words.”

The game was ultimately lost.

Seo Ye-rin, who overwhelmed her opponent in the lane battle, lost because she continued to play 1:5.

“Whoa.”

As she looked out the window at the result of her defeat, Seo Ye-rin muttered as she stretched out in her chair as if her strength was weakening.

“Support difference.”

“Hey, shit… … !”

Should I just rip out the keyboard wire and hit Seo Ye-rin in the head?

Or, Seo Ye-rin, who provoked me as I was contemplating whether to pull out the monitor cable and hit her on the head.

She immediately started swearing and tried to say something.

In fact, Seo Ye-rin only blamed me for what she said, and she was laughing and saying it was fun.

“It’s my first time playing a game with a friend.”

“…….”

“Ah, it’s fun. “It was really fun.”

“I didn’t have any fun at all.”

“Hehe, sorry. “We just did it together because we were so excited.”

“ha.”

Did she say you can’t spit on a smiling face? As I looked at Seo Ye-rin who was happy and said that it was fun, I thought to myself that I should not get excited about the game for no reason.

“You can do it with other kids. “Would you like it if the boys you’re close with ask you to go with them?”

After saying that, Seo Ye-rin scratches her cheek with a bitter expression.

“Usually all they do is ask me out for a meal or a drink.”

“You just have to say you want to go.”

“Then what are people around me saying about me seducing her? There could even be rumors that we are dating.”

“her.”

This wasn’t just a delusion.

The strange emotions that appeared on Seo Ye-rin’s expression came from her experience.

It could have been in high school, or it could have been during the first semester.

Even if I wonder if I should give him some comfort. I don’t have anyone to talk to like that, and I wasn’t that close of a friend.

“Press ready. Let’s play a game.”

After saying that, Seo Ye-rin also smiled and focused on the screen again.

When our game reached about three rounds.

I started to breathe a little better.

It was a strange duo of top and support, but we were doing not too bad anyway.

Especially in the second round, I was able to win because Seo Ye-rin followed my instructions well.

“hey! Those are dragons! “Can you come?”

“I didn’t hear the call!”

“I’m proud of you, you bastard. “Why don’t you show your face once when you’re bored at the opponent’s tower?”

“Don’t fight, get out! “I’m pushing the suppressor!”

However, our team tried to fight too hard and was wiped out. I’m the only one left running away.

“Try to stop the kids from going home! “I’m going to finish this!”

Seo Ye-rin suddenly started pushing the tower while using her physical form and flashing lights.

Even if you wonder if she’s really crazy, her axe-chopping skills are unusual.

Following Seo Ye-rin’s orders, she immediately sacrifices her life to stop her opponent’s team from going home.

She pulled one, hit one, and said she was going to kill me with another. She cut off the return.

“ah.”

However, she sighs with regret as she sees my character becoming a can.

Three people hung up, but two eventually returned.

I thought the game would end with Seo Ye-rin dying like that.

You have defeated the enemy!

Double kill!

The news of victory suddenly rang.

Surprisingly, Seo Ye-rin managed to decapitate her two opponents.

Seo Ye-rin, who achieved the feat of catching each one of her axes, destroyed her opponent’s base.

“Uh, huh?”

What appeared on our screen were two words: victory.

Seo Ye-rin and I look at each other at the same time. The adrenaline that rose up in an instant exceeded her lethal dose, and at the same time she took off her headset and cried out.

“Generalniiiim!”

“This is me!”

Even if you act like an asshole for 54 minutes and 30 seconds during a 55-minute game, if you play well for 30 seconds, you immediately become a general.

As I circled around our general Seo and congratulated him, he seemed to be happy as well, so he took off his shoes, climbed onto the chair, and raised both hands, enjoying the victory.

“General! General! “General!”

“mi! It’s me! Cancer General Yerin Seo! “Dats me!”

We forgot that it was a PC room and loved it.

“How much?”

At that time, a chilling voice was heard from behind. It was obviously fall so the day was cool, but I thought they had some kind of air conditioner on.

I slowly turn my head to the familiar voice.

There was Choi Yi-seo, looking at me disapprovingly with one hand on his waist.

Even fully dressed in sportswear.

Let’s stop praising the general and take a quick look at the time displayed on the computer.

[6:24]

“…….”

I looked at the clock absentmindedly, sighed, and spoke to Seo Ye-rin.

“Yerin, that’s why I told you to start the seren at 20 minutes.”
