Chapter 42 – 8. Secretly From My Sister (4)
.
8 p.M.
It’s still a long time until her sister returns.
Lee Ji-yoon, who quickly threw away all these frustrating things, sat down on her chair in comfortable pajamas.
I’m not sure where Seo Woo Jin’s house is, but let’s just say it’s nearby…
Since he is a man, wouldn’t he have sat down in front of the computer faster than me?
There’s no need to remove makeup or anything like that.
She quickly turned on the game and checked her friend’s window.
But, it was neat.
People I see every day are listed as Online, and there are no requests from newbies to add cute friends.
It’s a shame.
Since I’ve never been a champion before, I thought I’d give you a ride on the game bus.
If I was having a hard time because of my MMR, I tried to borrow the power of an alt character.
Lee Ji-yoon sticks her butt out in front of her chair and pouts.
Okay. She might still be doing something else.
Cleaning, cooking, laundry, showering, etc.
Maybe she hasn’t arrived home yet.
But before we part ways, I ask, ‘Is this your gift in return, so you must add me as a friend?’ As I said, she will be able to connect within today.
I guess it just takes a bit longer.
My hair feels refreshed. I should get another haircut while I wait.
The moment Jiyoon Lee was about to put his headset her around his her neck her her her her.
“… ?”
I heard the Dico notification sound that I had turned down.
I have turned off notifications for all channels I use when playing games, so it’s probably DM.
Who is it?
Could it be him again?
Lee Ji-yoon, who was worried, moved the mouse while listening to the continuous alarm sounds.
[CZ]
─Jiyun, are you coming back to APEC?
… That’s him.
[CZ]
─I thought you stopped doing it with your feet.
I’ve been less in touch with him lately because he’s only been playing other FPS games, but he seems to have sent me a DM after seeing the game sign on Dico.
I’ll have to erase that mark next time.
[CZ]
─You didn’t play the two games together because you thought your left hand would break.
─After all, Hyper is more fun than Tactical, where you are busy breaking things apart.
As the feeling of ‘it’s annoying’ filled my head, Jiyoon Lee politely sent me a DM.
You wouldn’t know it if you just knew each other one-on-one, but there were many acquaintances who were connected to that person across all kinds of FPS games.
He is also a famous player among amateurs.
─No. A person I know in real life said it was perfect, so I came here briefly to get some friends.
Now, if you have any sense, you’ll probably just enjoy the game and turn it off, right?
I didn’t say it in a general way, but I said it specifically because I know someone in real life, so I won’t interfere without notice.
…
I thought about it.
[CZ]
─If you want to play a game with him, is there any room left?
─Jiyun, you must have been out of form since you rested for a long time.
─I will cover it for you.
Yes.
If I had noticed, I would have hung up on the DMs a long time ago.
Lee Ji-yoon, who was looking at the deco screen as if watching a bug, quickly moved his fingers.
─It’s okay. Anyway, since he is a newbie, I will teach him slowly.
─Since you usually like bad games, I don’t think you’ll find it fun to play here.
[CZ]
─No, no, I like newbies! I’ll match your speed.
─By the way, since you mention him, it seems like you are his real-life friend. Are you a woman?
Ah.
Fuck.
─A man. Rather than an actual friend, I am her older sister’s friend.
[CZ]
─You are my sister’s friend. Are you calling me that? Is she a twin sister?
─ She is my sister’s friend, but she is younger than her.
─And could you please stop secretly selling my new products?
[CZ]
─Oh, I’m sorry. You must be in a bad mood.
─Anyway, then can I join you?
─Honestly, I thought what would happen if there were two women, but there was already a man.
─I will clean everything while I teach the newbies.
Lee Ji-yoon, who was looking at Dico with a frown, sighed for a long time.
When she plays a game, she is treated kindly because she is a woman, but she accepted it without thinking, thinking, ‘I can do that because I am a man.’
Whenever I deal with these guys, I feel so disgusted that I want to throw double insults in their faces.
I don’t know if I can at least take a picture, why do I do that when all I know is my voice?
Lee Ji-yoon swallows the urge to block him right away.
Finally, she tapped on her keyboard.
─I will ask. Is it okay to embrace a stranger?
Then, I let off steam for a moment and spent a minute choosing music to listen to.
─People who don’t know say it’s a bit uncomfortable. Let’s do it together next time we get a chance.
Jiyoon Lee, who sent the DM, right-clicked and turned off her notifications.
42
“… It’s late.”
11 PM.
Now it’s time for my sister to come home from work.
Lee Ji-yoon, who had been lounging around on YouTube for three hours, let out a sigh of frustration.
I may be late because I’m eating dinner.
You may be late because you have to wash,
I might be late because I’m cleaning.
But isn’t it a bit much to do that for 3 hours?
It’s also strange to think that Seo Woo Jin’s house is farther away than I thought.
Last time I asked my sister how she met Seo Woo Jin, she just remembered that we met at a convenience store near her house.
Did she forget the ID you gave her?
There is no way she forgot the spelling,
Maybe you are confused about my birthday written down.
She should have taken Seo Woo Jin’s number, but she couldn’t think of that…
“…”
Sister’s boyfriend number.
More…
No.
It’s not that strange.
What about the younger brother getting the older sister’s boyfriend’s number…
If you can’t contact your sister, she can contact you there.
Besides that, she can just contact you when something happens.
Are you okay. It’s just that I keep thinking strange things.
While Jiyoon Lee was thinking with her headset around her neck, the sound of a door lock beeping came from outside the door.
Jiyoon Lee walked out of the room to the sound.
“… Sister.”
“Huh? Why?”
“Well, uh…”
My sister’s boyfriend’s number.
Isn’t this definitely a bit strange to just say this out of the blue?
… No.
It’s not weird at all.
“… You have Woojin’s number, right?”
“Do you still call each other that?”
“Anyway, right?”
“It has to be there. Why?”
“I forgot to get it when you treated me today, so can you give it to me too?”
“Ah. Wait a minute.”
When Lee Ji-yoon asks while shaking her cell phone, Lee Ha-yoon scrolls for a while.
Seo Woo-jin’s phone number appeared right in front of Lee Ji-yoon, who was terrified by her older sister’s fingers.
“Here. If you get sick again later, please contact me directly. Woojin sent me a message about that too.”
“Talk? “What did you say?”
“It’s probably going to be difficult to completely cure. He said he’s not a complete expert, so he doesn’t know the cause.”
It doesn’t really matter.
After all, wouldn’t it be okay to just meet briefly and endure those few embarrassing moments?
After entering the academy in a few days, you can get treatment at the health room without worrying about what others think.
“…”
Before I could remember the ‘treatment’ that had happened a few hours ago, my sister’s voice continued.
“Did you eat dinner?”
“I didn’t eat a lot of things I picked up while working. I’m not particularly hungry even now.”
“Really? Then, I’ll take a rest. Ugh… Don’t play too many games. It’ll make your eyes hurt…”
“What can I say? Both sides are still 1.5 1.5.”
“You never know. Hmm…”
The older sister walks, stretching her legs as if tired, and disappears beyond her square door.
Lee Ji-yoon, who was staring at the scene, looked down at her cell phone while fiddling with her pajamas.
… I really got it.
Seo Woo Jin’s number.
Somehow, a very strange feeling of tension passes through the back of Lee Ji-yoon’s neck.
I’m only going to get treatment anyway, and at best I’ll just play a game for a bit and I don’t plan on doing anything else.
Um.
AC, I don’t know.
It’s all because of that bad guy CZ.
I don’t know what it’s related to, but anyway.
Jiyoon Lee went straight back to the room and threw herself on the bed.
And then she filled in the empty chatroom with her first words.
─Over here.
─This is Lee Ji-yoon.
─Oh, does your name appear?
─Anyway, are you not able to come to the game today?
─Or maybe you forgot my nickname.
Umm.
I tried to write it as non-awkwardly as possible, but it felt subtly awkward somewhere.
My sister talked about other things besides business. Should she have added something more like that?
While Lee Ji-yoon was hugging the blanket tightly, he was glaring at her chat room with dissatisfaction.
The 1 next to the message has disappeared.
… Gulping, I swallowed.
[Seo Woo Jin]
─No. I remember the nickname, but I have a lot of other things to do.
─Today is difficult, so I think I’ll do it tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I’m sorry.
… There was a story.
Regardless of what the story was,
There’s no need to apologize, though. Hmm.
Just like when we met at the cafe earlier,
I guess he’s just a person who is accustomed to apples.
Some people get horny just by hearing a woman’s voice and keep being annoying without notice.
It would be nice if that guy was half as much like her older sister’s boyfriend. Ugh.
Lee Ji-yoon, lying face down on the bed, patted the bed with the top of her foot and tapped the screen of her cell phone.
─It can’t be helped if you’re busy.
─Then are you okay tomorrow?
─When I get home from work, it’s around 7 o’clock.
[Seo Woo Jin]
─Yes. Well, right now, I don’t mind leaving work after Hayun’s class, so I can do it at that time.
─I also ordered the mouse pad you mentioned, so let’s do it tomorrow.
Uh? Really?
You bought the pad right away?
Of course, I thought they would ignore it and say it was a waste of money.
There is such an amazing newbie who listens so well…
How should I express this?
Stinging? This seems to have a strong sense of sadness.
Eaten? Are you excited?
Anyway, I felt good about the mysterious feeling I felt deep in my heart.
Honestly, it’s new…
…
No, it’s not that, it’s that…
What was it, wait…
Ah.
Raising newbies.
Honestly, I thought that was fun,
When I actually tried it, I thought it was something like this.
─I will somehow get you on the bus tomorrow.
Lee Ji-yoon continues chatting with Seo Woo-jin while erasing the word Newle Park from her mind.
The deco icon below the monitor was flashing orange,
Her her eyes her her her her were fixed on her her cell phone her her her.

“You can’t help but be pretty with that voice?”
“No. There are more people than I thought who are fat and ugly but have good voices.”
“Aren’t your ears weird? Most of the bitches I’ve met so far have been pretty.”
“It’s just luck, damn it. Anyway, if it doesn’t work out, you give up, right? The kids who seemed like they would give it to me in the first place are very accepting of Dicko. They even secretly criticize me .”
“Since you don’t take it well, I want to try and get you drunk, you idiot.”
“… Is that so?”
“The kids over there are slowly getting along with each other right now. We keep playing games together. There are some guys we’ve already met behind the scenes and had sex with.”
“Uh, but the one you want won’t come.”
“I guess I’ll call them first. Since there are a lot of girls, I might feel safe coming out.”
“Hmm…”
“Oh, the last time I heard, I heard you’re 20 years old. Since you’re new, why don’t you ask me to meet you before I get too busy?”
“Okay. I understand, so don’t get your hopes up.”
*****
… What is this?
“…”
Just before going to sleep,
Lee Ji-yoon looked at the date, time, location, etc. Of Jeongmo’s arrival at the disco and sighed bitterly.
Somehow.
I thought it would end up like this, especially since we recently played an RPG game together.
Honestly, I don’t want to go.
It’s not that I don’t want to meet people.
I just didn’t want to waste energy.
After getting there,
Drinking,
Receive an injection,
If someone gets drunk and says something, clean it up.
It’s hard to move just one sister, but if 10 people gather together, how can we cover it?
Jiyoon Lee closed her eyes and lightly shook her head because she felt dizzy just thinking about it.
─I can’t go because of my part-time job.
Lee Ji-yoon, who left a message of rejection, pulled up the blanket and left for dreamland.
