It hasn’t been that long since we graduated, but maybe we’re just excited to be together for the first time in a long time.

Since we met near the school, we looked around the school playground and reminisced about our memories. We also walked around the neighborhood and looked around places like snack bars where we often ate when we were in school.

I find that reminiscing is more fun than I thought.

Maybe I feel that way more because I’m with the guys who made those memories.

“So what does Dohyeon do for a living now?”

After we finish reminiscing about our happy memories, we go out of the vicinity of the school, go to a good restaurant, and take a seat before we start talking about the current situation.

“Oh, I’m doing some YouTube editing right now.”

In fact, there was a time when I avoided these guys because I didn’t like this current status talk.

I didn’t want even my friends to see me as a person who couldn’t learn properly even after time passed and had to stay in that position.

But now things have changed.

I’m making a living doing what I want to do, and I’m making pretty good money.

Oh, of course, I haven’t received my official salary yet, but anyway, I received 500 as a lump sum from Jiyun, right?

“Today, I just received some money and I thought of you guys.”

“Oh~ Payday~ How cool is that?”

“Hey, office worker! Give the students a shot!”

Come to think of it, these guys were probably still students attending college.

Since I’m 23… I guess I’m in my senior year?

“Eunseong and Hyunwoo, did you guys serve in the military?”

“I’m going this year.”

“Lee Eun-seong, he kept putting it off, but he’s going this year~ I definitely told him to come with me when I go.”

It looks like Hyunwoo has already been discharged from the military, and Eunseong is leaving this year.

“I wonder if it would be better if the guy who also has a girlfriend brought it to me earlier.”

“Oh, does Eunseong have a girlfriend?”

This may be the first time I’ve heard this.

No, whatever. Of course, since we haven’t been in contact, this will probably be the first time I’ve heard of anything that has happened since graduation.

“Hyeonwoo is there too. Don’t you have one?”

These bastards… When did they all get girlfriends and go around like this?

Well, me too… it’s a bit ambiguous to say I don’t have one.

But it’s also ambiguous to call this a girlfriend anyway.

No, should I say girlfriends…?

“Uh, whatever. Not really.”

But I don’t really want to bring this up because I think it would be a bit ambiguous.

I received the Harem Mind Modification skill in the past, but I was told that it was a skill that only applied to women who were attracted to me.

“Why don’t you get a girlfriend?”

“So. Even when this guy was in high school, he would dump everyone who confessed to him. I really don’t understand.”

At the time, I thought it would be difficult to meet someone due to my circumstances.

I guess it was a time in my life when I thought dating was a luxury.

Things have improved a lot now, and I’m seeing three women, so to be honest, I feel bad about lying.

“Dohyun likes that kind of thing.”

“That’s right, I’m not as reckless as you guys.”

No, I’m probably the happiest here.

“Ah~ If you’re going to do that, you should at least confess to Dohyun. Why haven’t you confessed yet?”

“What are you talking about..!”

“That’s right, is he really crazy..!”

“Dohyun is always~ Dohyun~ Dohyun~ Dohyun~ You didn’t even try to hide it, so why are you suddenly pretending to be someone you’re not?”

I just laugh as I see Eunseong and Hyunwoo making fun of the two.

These guys have been doing that since high school, so I don’t really feel like stopping them.

Well, it would be a joke anyway.

” That’s it, hey~ Let’s do it! It’s been a while since we met!”

When I hold out my glass to say first, everyone holds out their glasses and makes a toast.

I can’t believe the day will come when I can drink with these guys. It’s really been a long time…

“Anyway, just contact me this time and don’t stop contacting me again. Let’s keep in touch more often from now on, man.”

At first, the guys only talked about jokes, but as they started drinking little by little, they started saying things that were a bit cringy and embarrassing.

“Yes, you bastard. I was really worried. I wonder if something is going on.”

Following Eunseong, even Hyunwoo looks very serious, unlike before.

“I told you to tell us if you have any difficulties. To be honest, we were a little disappointed, thinking it was barely that much.”

It seems like everyone has caught the day and has no intention of letting it go.

For some reason, it seemed like I was trying to say things I couldn’t say when I was sober.

“Well, of course, we are still students. Because it’s not that helpful. I was disappointed and had nothing to do. Just because Dohyun said he was having a hard time doesn’t mean we could have helped him, right?”

When Eugene speaks while drinking, everyone nods in agreement.

“I’m just thankful that you guys didn’t stop contacting me, whatever.”

If I had known you were this worried, I would have contacted you sooner.

I wonder why he didn’t contact me until now.

A feeling of something very warm.

I guess it’s because they are the guys I was with when I was young.

[‘Plan and edit Kim Ji-yoon’s video and get more than 10,000 views!’ You have completed the quest! ]

[ 10 points will be paid as compensation. ]

We had a heart-warming but slightly cheesy conversation and were about to get drunk.

Suddenly, a quest completion window appeared before my eyes.

Oh… Looks like Jiyoon’s video reached 10,000.

[ I reunited with old friends and opened up my heart to them! ]

[ Achievement achieved! ]

[ 1pt will be paid as compensation. ]

Besides… what is this?

I was just having a heart-to-heart talk with my friends, and suddenly an achievement appeared.

“But do you really know that I liked you, Dohyun?”

Looking at the system window and wondering where to invest this time, it brought my mind, which had been in another world for a while, back to the real world.

“Huh?”

It was Eugene’s sudden confession.

***

Eugene was a senior who was just about to graduate from college.

With her pretty appearance and easy-going personality, she is quite popular within the department and belongs to the group of insiders.

“I like it, Han Yujin..! Let’s date me..!”

“Oh~”

She was a very popular woman who even received public confessions in the classroom.

“Ah… sorry, senior. Because there is someone else I like.”

However, none of the people who confessed to her after admission received a positive answer.

When I confess, the answer I get is always the same.

There is someone else I like.

“Ugh.. Who on earth are you? Is this someone from our school?”

There were people who asked that after getting kicked in a bad way, but there was never a case where they talked about the person they liked.

People have always wondered who that mysterious being is.

‘I wonder if you’ll know if I tell you.’

Eugene felt quite burdened by such attention.

‘..Ha, Choi Do-hyeon. Where do you live and what do you do? I really want to see you.’

From the time she was in high school until now, she was a pure-hearted girl who liked only one person.

Choi Do-hyeon, who was part of a group of people he was close with in high school, Eugene had been liking since they first became friends in the same group.

‘Han Yu-jin, if you wear that, you’ll get scolded by the teacher. ‘Let’s put it in the bag.’

At first, I was attracted to him because he was friendly and friendly, unlike other boys.

‘Hey, you don’t even know this. Oh, really. ‘Isn’t Han Yujin an idiot?’

‘Hey, Eunseong Lee. Why do you say things like that? ‘You might not know.’

Even when other boys sometimes violently teased and argued with Eugene, Do-hyeon always took her side.

However, at the same time, he is friendly with other boys and even with girls without hesitation.

‘…It’s really good.’

I couldn’t control my feelings that were getting better and better.

‘You know, I like Dohyeon?’

When I heard that Su-yeon, who was in the same group, liked Do-hyeon, I even remembered thinking that things would turn upside down.

‘I like Dohyeon too.’

‘Huh, you too?’

Normally, when people say they like the same guy, they might feel romantically involved, but maybe it’s because Dohyun wasn’t interested in dating at all.

Rather, the two became closer friends by sharing their grievances with each other.

‘I’m going to confess after I graduate.’

‘…Then I want to try it too.’

The two made a plan to confess to Do-hyeon after the graduation ceremony, but they couldn’t see Do-hyeon after the graduation ceremony.

I didn’t leave the group chat room, but I didn’t hear back, and even when I sent a personal message, there was no reply.

That’s just 4 years.

[ Dohyeon: Hey, how is everyone? ]

It was a call from Do-hyeon, who had made them sad day after day, wondering if he was really dead and wondering where he was and what he was doing.

‘This time, I really confess.’

They all met other kids together, but Eun-seong and Hyun-woo didn’t pay much attention anyway because they knew better than anyone else that they liked Do-hyeon.

“But do you really know that I liked you, Dohyun?”

So, with the help of alcohol, I uttered words of confession.

“So. Me too.”

Sooyeon also jumped on the bandwagon and made her feelings known.
