Could it be because I drank the stimulant that Choi Yi-seo said was good for my body?

Anyway, strangely enough, my body feels energized.

“Let’s go!”

Seo Ye-rin also hums as she takes her seat, seeming to gain strength.

Two people following me closely.

Choi Yi-seo and Yoo Ah-rin.

For a moment, I felt like I had become a mother duck.

“What, you guys want to be there too?”

It was already approaching midnight, so I thought the two of them would naturally go back.

Surprisingly, both of them responded as if to ask why I was asking such a thing.

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“Just leave me and Yerin behind?”

“No, that’s not it. You guys don’t really like PC rooms.”

At my words, Yu Ah-rin sat down in a random spot and picked up her headset.

“I’m going to watch a movie. I’m going to binge-watch Netflix.”

My love for movies never goes away.

Then I was wondering what Choi Yi-seo would do.

Choi Yi-seo also takes a seat next to Yoo Ah-rin and turns on the computer, saying that she also has something to do.

And what he took out of the bag he was carrying was a notebook.

“… … You study here?”

When Yua Rin, sitting next to him, looks at him with a tired expression, Choi Yi Seo nods.

“Yeah, it doesn’t look that different from a study cafe. I think it would be okay if you just listen to the music a little louder?”

Yoo Ah-rin pointed her finger at me and shouted.

“This bitch is the craziest.”

“I think so too.”

“… … Why am I getting cursed at?”

Look at him taking out his pencil case even though he really doesn’t understand.

“Lee Seo-ya, I never asked until now because I thought this was personal privacy. Are you a go-to guy?”

Don’t the top players usually know these things?

So, just in case, Seo-i nods with a dumbfounded expression.

“Of course.”

“… … .”

“This is the first year that over-topping is a given.”

By the way, I heard that back in the day, Lee Seo only got one A in her grades.

The rest were all A+.

“Hey, let’s just watch a movie together.”

“I hate it.”

“If that’s the case, just go home!”

I can’t help but laugh out loud when I see Yoo Ah-rin and Choi Yi-seo talking.

Those two seem like they’ll get along well among themselves.

“Woojina, let’s get started!”

I return to my seat at the urging of Seo Ye-rin, who has already settled down.

I looked to the side to see what Jinah Choi was doing, and she was watching some kind of cultural orchestra on YouTube.

“Hmm.”

Then, with a not-so-good expression on his face, he tilted his head as if he was confused, and took out an extremely expensive-looking headset from his bag.

“… … .”

“Ah, the sound isn’t that great. I think I need to listen to it properly.”

When I see him like this, he really seems like a violinist.

“Does it sound different when you hear it that way?”

“It’s different. I have another one. Would you like to lend it to me?”

“Yeah, okay.”

Choi Jin-ah rummaged through her bag and took out another headset that was exactly the same.

“Here, Woojin-ah.”

“Thank you- Yes?”

“Use it well. That’s expensive.”

“Are you just going to let that slide like that?”

“Huh.”

Choi Jin-ah sniffles and focuses on the video again. She glances around at the other kids, but it looks like they didn’t hear her.

‘What’s wrong with him?’

It seems a bit bold to say that I just wanted to be friends with them because we are classmates.

The point was that I whispered softly just now so that no one around me could hear.

Leaving the awkwardness behind, I started playing the game again with Yerin.

[defeat!]

“… … .”

I blink several times as I look at the two letters that appear in front of me.

When I turned my head, Seo Ye-rin was already up from her seat, holding a whetstone.

“Palm.”

“No, Yerin. But I made a mistake just now-.”

“I said.”

“… … .”

As soon as he held out his palm, Seo Ye-rin immediately slapped him.

“Evil!”

“Do better next time.”

“Yep.”

It’s just a little bit stinging.

Still, I think I’ve come to my senses a little.

[defeat!]

“Where is the whirlpool?”

As I stood up straight and looked for the whistle, Seo Ye-rin fidgeted and carefully held it out to me.

A palm slightly extended.

I hit my palm just as hard as I had hit before.

“Aaah! Woojini hit me!”

“It has to be somewhat correct.”

I thought I was crazy when I rushed at five guys by myself.

While preparing for the next game, I take a quick look at Yoo Ah-rin and Choi Yi-seo.

“Hey, look at this. This is seriously awesome.”

“Arin, I told you I’m studying.”

“No, look at this. The director’s shooting angle and foreshadowing are-!”

I’m glad that you two seem to be having fun.

Jinah Choi was doing a tutorial for the game we were playing.

“… … What are you doing?”

“Yes? No, it looks fun when you two do it. I’m going to try it too.”

I took a quick look and it looks just normal. The only thing that bothers me is that it looks a bit awkward to use the mouse.

As I continued to look at my monitor, Choi Jin-ah glanced at me and handed me the takoyaki I had ordered.

“Can I get one?”

“… … No.”

“Ah, I thought you wanted to eat it after watching it for a while.”

“Woojina game caught!”

After leaving Choi Jin-ah alone, I started playing the game again.

* * *

“What did you say the record was?”

“Haam, 12 wins, 15 losses.”

The conversation between Choi Yi-seo and Yoo Ah-rin heard from behind.

A lot of time has passed.

By the next morning, we had not even gotten to the silver, let alone the gold.

It’s fortunate that PC rooms are cut off from the outside world, so I lose all sense of time.

If I had seen the rising sun, I would have been quite depressed.

“My butt hurts.”

Seo Ye-rin rubbing her butt while sobbing.

At first, Yerin was good at it, but as time passed, she became an ignorant and spoiled brat, and was constantly getting beaten with sticks.

Originally I was going to hit my palm, but then I thought I wouldn’t be able to play the game, so I just changed it to my butt.

“Kuu.”

Choi Jin-ah is sleeping with a blanket next to her.

I’m eating, sleeping, and enjoying myself very well.

“Guys, turn your chairs around.”

When Choi Yi-seo heard that our grades had dropped since we came to the PC room, she sighed and took special measures.

“We’ll help you.”

“You’re helping me?”

Choi Yi-seo looks at us as if we were the manager and coach of a team.

But is there anything I can do to help you?

“Anyone good at games? Can I take you on the bus?”

Actually, the easiest way is to invite someone who is much better at the game than us and have them come up.

Although it is a bit lethal.

But Choi Yi-seo shook her head.

“No, Arin, Jinah, and I will help you.”

“You don’t know a single game.”

Yoo Ah-rin interrupted, drinking cola to wake up. Seo Ye-rin and I nodded, but Choi Yi-seo brought out her notebook, which she had been studying from earlier.

“I just learned it.”

“Huh?”

“and.”

The theories of the game are densely written in Choi Yi-seo’s notes.

“Is this what studying is?”

When Choi Yi-seo accepts the note and expresses her admiration, she nods and responds.

“Yeah, anyway, since it’s your bucket list, I wanted to do something for you.”

Choi Yi-seo looks at me with a faint smile. The warmth in her gaze is a direct expression of her feelings for me, and a wave of emotion spreads across me.

“This is it… … .”

I feel a surge of desire to go and hug her right now.

If this weren’t a PC room, that’s what it would have been like.

At that time, Seo Ye-rin shook her head and wiggled her fingers, saying that she had done something good.

“Hey, this is a game. It’s not something you can do with theory.”

Look at the way they brag about being experts in gaming.

“Emotions, intuition, instincts, passion. It’s a collection of things like that.”

“What did you just throw away?”

“That’s a jungler-!”

When I said something annoyed, Seo Ye-rin immediately got angry and shouted.

But Choi Yi-seo did not deny it outright.

“The more I learned, the more I felt that there was nothing I could do. In the end, it was very difficult to learn in a short period of time.”

“Right?”

“But I’m not in the position of playing the game, I’m in the position of helping. Because of that, I had limited things to learn. So I thought about it-.”

Lee Seo looked at us and declared firmly.

“We’re all playing a game together.”

“All together?”

“Oh, all together.”

Choi Yi-seo calmly explained to us, who were wondering what that meant. As we listened to Lee-seo’s explanation, our eyes opened wider and we even thought that it seemed like a pretty good method.

At this time, Choi Yi-seo was proving her worth.

“Me, just me?”

Yoo Ah-rin, who was sipping cola, shouted with a bewildered expression.

“Am I the only one here who’s just playing around and doing nothing?!”

“What?!”

Choi Jin-ah woke up to Yoo Ah-rin’s voice and banged her head on the desk.

* * *

Choi Yi-seo’s operation was actually simple and intuitive.

“Woojin, I saw the enemy jungle over there.”

“Confirm.”

“I can’t see the mid side either? I saw it coming down earlier.”

“Confirm.”

“You don’t have to answer. Just focus.”

It’s a way to convey some sort of information while watching the game right next to you.

‘I can’t hear the information and make a judgment, but I can give the information.’

I feel like I’m an F1 racer.

We are all being briefed that there is a corner coming up ahead.

‘This is awesome… … .’

Since I’m a low tier player, I don’t really look at the map, but it’s a lot more comfortable with Iseo helping me out like this.

“And Woojin, I looked it up and for high tier items against that character, what are these?”

“Huh? Oh, like this?”

It’s actually pretty nice to see it explained this way.

It feels like using some kind of AI.

‘It seems a bit unfair.’

What does it matter?

If they win, that’s it, and if they can, they can do it too.

I am in charge of Choi Yi-seo.

Then what about Seo Ye-rin?

Even special measures were taken.

“No. Don’t do it. Don’t go in.”

“But, is it a kill shot?”

“Don’t do that. I told you not to.”

“Seeing.”

The person holding the whetstone next to Seo Ye-rin is none other than Bae Ji-hye.

So, it was Popo, an internet broadcaster and the goddess of construction.

Seo Ye-rin’s custom-made relief pitcher and a kind of mouthpiece sung by Choi Yi-seo.

She was from Diamond, two levels higher than Gold, and had also won awards in the Inbang competition.

“Join, join. Teleport.”

“I didn’t hear the teleport because I was ignited.”

“… … I told you to teleport. When did you change it?”

Of course, I couldn’t completely control Seo Ye-rin’s wild temperament, but I was trying to cover up the fact that she would just rush in.

[victory!]

The moment you see the sweet victory message pop up, put your mouse down.

Then, Yoo Ah-rin immediately intervened and started massaging my hand.

“Is there anything uncomfortable? Wouldn’t it be better if you did it like this?”

It’s cute how he tries to prove his worth even though he’s useless.

“Eww! Eww! Why is it so hard?”

Choi Jin-ah, who is in the same position as Yoo Ah-rin, is also massaging my shoulder.

It’s impressive to see them working hard in their own way.

like that.

[victory!]

“Why does that girl keep fighting alone?”

“Isn’t it because I can’t do it?”

“You’re brave! You idiots!”

Receive everyone’s strength.

[victory!]

“Bring the woman and the massage!”

“You’re fucking crazy.”

[victory!]

“Top difference!”

We won steadily.
