Chapter 179 – Cha Hee-Ra
As the policy that no smoking was allowed in the Internet cafe spread, I entered the Internet cafe, which was reborn in a neat appearance without any smell of cigarettes.
A part-time worker who sat at the counter and stared at his smartphone endlessly glanced at us as we had just entered the PC room.
“Welcome…”
The moment I was about to hand over a formal greeting. She stopped talking and stared blankly at Heera’s older sister’s appearance.
“Something has changed a lot.”
My older sister, who had been to a PC room because of me before, looked around her in admiration at the scenery where her atmosphere had become more sophisticated and her food had become much larger than before.
Come to think of it, it’s been a long time since Heera and I came to her PC room.
“Yes. Smoking booths are mandatory, and if you are caught smoking outside of the smoking booth, you will be fined.”
“Hehe… It’s okay. I didn’t like the smell of cigarettes when I came here before.”
Even if I sat down in the non-smoking area, I couldn’t completely block the cigarette smoke coming from the smoking area.
Because of this, no matter how far you sat in the smoking area, you could only smell cigarettes on your body, but the fact that there were smoking booths and you had to smoke only in the smoking booth made the Internet cafe really clean.
The problem was that they still couldn’t accept this policy and had a bad habit of smoking cigarettes during games.
But the owner of the internet cafe or the part-timer would take care of it, so there was no reason to worry.
Anyway,
“A lot.”
It was a weekend, and with the popularity of the new high-end watch game, the PC room was full of people, and there were hardly any empty seats.
Most of them were young children who had not yet reached their puberty.
For example, children who have just entered school or who are about to wear school uniforms.
All of them were sitting side by side with their friends, enjoying a high-end watch and squealing.
It was quite loud, and people around me were wearing headsets, while those not wearing headsets frowned and tried to cover their ears.
Even so, I couldn’t stand the sound I heard and went to the part-time job at the counter.
But luxury watches have an age limit, so these kids won’t be able to.
Suddenly, I remembered an article posted on a certain community.
The article about a community person reporting to the police that went to a PC room and went crazy because the kids playing high-end watches screamed so loudly.
Then the police came and asked for personal information, said that he was not old, and ordered him to turn off the game with an admonition.
How can a person be so cunning?
What if you are a bit younger?
If you were born in Korea, it was natural for you to like games, and as an adult, it was only natural that you and your friends were playing games in a PC room, but you were interrupted…
No, I haven’t become an adult yet, but I couldn’t tolerate it mentally as an adult.
He looked at the children playing the game screaming, “Go away from the world,” With warm eyes.
“Write.”
We wandered around the spacious PC room looking for a place to sit together.
However, even if the seats were occasionally shown, they were one seat at a time, and there was no place where the two seats were together, so he swallowed a saliva.
There is another PC room nearby, but the facilities are not very good.
The computer specs and cleanliness are the same.
If I was alone or with Cheol-yong, I might have moved to another PC room without any hesitation because the game was more important than the PC room.
But now, instead of Cheol-yong, Heera noona was by my side.
I can’t take my sister to such a dirty place.
I had no choice but to hold back tears as I quietly picked up my phone.
[Yes. 112.]
After a while.
Fortunately, there was a spot suddenly.
“…”
I took Heera noona, who had a feeling of apologetic expression on her face, and went to her empty seat and sat down.
“Is it okay…?”
Hee-ra noona asked with a clear expression of discomfort.
“I can’t help it. Anyway, I’m at an age where I can’t do it legally. If I did it at home or somewhere out of sight of people on my personal computer, I wouldn’t know.
“I do…But I’m sorry.”
“Hmm… Next time I see you, you can buy me something delicious.”
“Whoa… Yes…”
Only then did Heera noona leave.
It’s not that I’m in need of money, and I’m sorry about something, so I promised myself that if we meet later, I’ll definitely buy you something delicious.
But in fact, I don’t remember any of their faces.
I didn’t know his name or face, but it was clear that the next time we met, we would pass by without knowing.
Well, maybe it will come to mind again after some time.
Anyway, since I often visit this PC room, I quickly entered the familiar ID and password.
Soon, the login window went to the desktop.
In the information column in the right corner, the remaining time was over 10 hours.
It was annoying, so I charged it all at once, but there is still plenty left.
“Ah… Not even this.”
On the other hand, Heera noona couldn’t even log in.
Perhaps she forgot her ID and password because she hadn’t been back in a while.
“Isn’t there anything you do?”
“I tried putting everything in, but it didn’t work.”
If she got it wrong more than 5 times, she would have lost her chances if she made it impossible to log in anymore.
“Do you remember anything?”
“Me?”
Even if you ask me about it, I have no way of knowing.
Still, just in case, I thought carefully about the ID Hee-ra noona could use and her password.
“Just try to find it.”
When I couldn’t think of anything, I suggested an opinion.
“I will.”
With a face full of annoyance, I pressed Find ID.
But.
“I was told to ask the counter?”
I couldn’t help but feel absurd at the bizarre service that I had to go to the counter to find.
“Ha… Wait a minute…”
It’s annoying, but I can’t help it.
When Heera noona let out a sigh and tried to get up, I blocked her movement and stopped her.
“One last thing.”
“What?”
“Put your sister’s date of birth in your ID and my date of birth in her password.”
“…”
It was a face that said that there was no way he had put in the ID and password like that, but he pretended to be deceived and put her date of birth in the blank.
Obviously not logged in, but vice versa.
So, I put my date of birth in the ID and put my sister’s date of birth in her password.
Then
“Is it okay?”
Logged in
The information section that said there were only 12 minutes left caught my eye.
“I didn’t expect it, but it really happened.”
I was wondering if this would be the case. I asked to do it, but I was surprised too.
When I came to the PC room with Eunbi before, she made up her ID and password like this.
Hee-ra noona thought that if she did well, she might have done that, so the words I threw out gave good results.
“Why don’t you make a high-end watch the same so that you don’t forget that it happened like this?”
“Since I only come to the internet cafe with you anyway… Well, I think it’ll be fine.”
That’s how Hee-ra noona made her luxury watch account exactly the same as the internet cafe login account, and then accessed the game.
“Ah.”
I first put on her headset and then spoke into the microphone.
“Tell me, sister.”
“Do I really have to do this?”
“Because it’s fun to do this.”
The strengths of luxury watches.
That you can use team voice right away.
While other games require a separate voice chat program, high-end watches had voice chat from the beginning.
You don’t have to use this feature, but if you play while communicating with the team, you can play much more fun than usual.
“If so…”
Should I mix words with people I don’t even know? These questions come in, but first of all, I connected the headset and opened my mouth.
“Okay. I can hear you.”
As soon as the preparations were finished, the game started immediately.
The game was caught quickly without waiting for matching.
[Hey hey~]
A young-looking voice was heard.
A boy with a very soft voice, who is thought to be the same age as the children who had been forced to leave by the police earlier.
“Hello.”
I said.
[Oh! There is one person!]
Not everyone uses team voice, so sometimes on a board where no one uses team voice, there is a person who uses team voice like this.
[Is there anyone else?]
“There is.”
[…
Then Heera noona opened her mouth.
The child closed her mouth momentarily as an attractive female voice came through her speakers.
[Are you a woman?]
A man who opens his mouth afraid of Hee-ra’s sister.
[Are you a real woman?!]
The child’s fuss that follows.
[I guess you like games. Would you like to join us in the next edition?]
[Sister. Sister. Me too! I want to join you too!]
Hee-ra noona tilted her head with her face as if she didn’t understand her question.
It is also true that the gender of players who play the game was overwhelmingly male.
As a result, female players were inevitably rare in games, and it was gamer’s instinct to express infinite liking just because they had the same interest in games as themselves.
“Jihoon-ah. You said let’s do it together?”
“Ignore it.”
I had no intention of intervening with another man.
Even if it’s a woman
“OK got it.”
Heera noona nodded her head and started playing the game, listening only to me, completely ignoring the words of the child and the man.
