Chapter 47: Game
Whats this?
After conversing with the seniors and feeling the chill outside, I entered first, and the ambiance at the table felt frosty.
Choi Yiseo had her chin resting on her hands, glaring at Yu Arin, who was beaming at me.
Seo Yerin felt torn between the two, unable to choose a side.
What now?
I sensed several issues with this drinking session, yet no one offered any explanations.
Just.
Woojin, come and sit here.
Kim Woojin, this way.
Both gestured towards me, indicating a seat beside them.
Earlier, I had chosen to sit next to Yu Arin because she motioned me over with her chest.
However, it wouldnt be a problem to sit elsewhere.
The real issue was that I found myself caught in the middle of their conflict. Well, there were a few complications.
Whats this, I feel like Jeong Chan-woo.
Feeling like a heartthrob wasnt unpleasant. When else would I encounter a scenario where two beauties vied for him to sit beside them?

They both turned to me simultaneously. Yu Arin wore a bright smile, but there was an underlying tension.
Choi Yiseo was openly glaring at me.
Why are you doing this?
Even though I was clueless about the situation, did I need to contemplate anything? I made a decision and moved to sit next to Choi Yiseo.
Regardless of what occurred with Yu Arin, she couldnt compare to Choi Yiseo.
Hmm.
Choi Yiseo, tilting her head slightly, covered her mouth with her hand. On closer inspection, she seemed to be concealing a faint smile.
On the other side, Yu Arin raised her middle finger.
So what is it?
Failing to grasp the reason for their standoff, I inquired again. Choi Yiseo, who had already grabbed some fries, fed one to me.
You dont need to know.
Im pleased to see you in good spirits.
As I tentatively accepted the fries, Choi Yiseo smiled quietly.
Have more.
And yet, she kept feeding me fries one by one, looking so pleased.
Normally, I would have asked why she was doing this, but she seemed happily tipsy that I didnt want to spoil her mood.
Omnomnom.
I kept accepting the food without much comment, even making sounds.
You eat well.
Did you only order fries?
My tongue felt dry from the saltiness, so I asked, and Choi Yiseo shook her head.
They sell sous-vide pork belly here. I ordered that. You can order it with rice.
Oh? Thats thoughtful?
Its already cooked so theres no need to grill it, but if you dont like it after trying, you can ask them to grill it a bit more.
Interesting.
Choi Yiseo definitely knows the kind of food I like. Though to be honest, rather than saying I have a specific taste, I tend to like anything that goes well with rice.
You like Korean food or just rice?
I never thought about it.
Still.
Choi Yiseo seems particularly interested in me today, so I give it some thought before answering.
I think I like rice. Because I like anything which comes with it.
When I go to a meat restaurant, I always end up ordering the soybean paste stew with rice. It made me think that maybe I do like rice.
What about risotto or pilaf?
I dont like risotto cause it feels a bit like porridge, but pilaf isnt bad since its like fried rice.
Hmm, lets go to a pilaf place next time.
You are on a diet for the photos.
I wondered why she suddenly said it, but Choi Yiseo suddenly nudged my shoulder with hers and said,
Someone fed me pork bulgogi and pork cutlet for lunch, so thats the plan which has been abandoned. Ill shoot during the winter break.
Should I join?
To watch the shoot?
Yes.
Pervert.
When I said that with all my heart, Choi Yiseo elbowed me, but it didnt hurt.
Well, after taking photos, well eat a lot, so someone has to go with me.
I had just resolved not to care, but that didnt last long.
You dont like Chan-woo?
Its not that. Its just a bit uncomfortable.
A bit uncomfortable?
Yes.
Seo Yerins response indicated she couldnt discuss it, as before.
Seeing her conceal it to this extent, it had to be about someone elses flaws that she couldnt address.
Well, if youre treating, then fine. What would you like to eat?
Tempura udon.
You have good taste. Is that all?
Yes. I dont eat much.
As I was about to click the mouse to confirm the order on the computer, a brilliant idea struck me, so I glanced at Seo Yerin.
In exchange for ordering.
Exchange?
Dont play the new champ.
Chan-woo! Bring us tempura udon!
Observing Seo Yerin raise her hand and call for Jeong Chan-woo, I nearly cursed her.
Due to Seo Yerins strong will, we ended up dutifully using a new character in ranked games, only to face three defeats.
Can I ask you something?
Staring blankly at the word Defeat, I inquire.
Why do you keep diving in when I ask you not to?
For a solo kill.
The enemy top keeps coming to the bottom, why do you stubbornly push the top?
I told you, for a solo kill.
Then why lag behind in CS?
Solo kill!
I want to tear your head off! If youre going to do this, just play Tekken! Whats the point of winning in 1:1 when the team is losing! You want to go solo!
Just as I was about to say more, a message popped up.
What now?
It was a series of photos sent by Yu Arin.
-Yu Arin: Hey, what is this.
-Yu Arin: Insane people, why are they posting pics of their poop and buttholes, freaking shit.
-Yu Arin: I am feeling dizzy, I cannot do this.
-Yu Arin: And, is it true that the religious club has taken over the bulletin board?
-Yu Arin: I keep deleting them, but 3 new pop-ups open every 10 seconds!
-Yu Arin: Save me pleaseeeeeee.
Uh.
So, the newbie is finally experiencing the hard work of managing the app.
Though posting sexy pics like Anonymous69 does is a win-win for both you and me.
Sometimes, there are those who post ridiculous memes, wondering why they even bother, and it was the Admins job to see and delete them all.
Moreover, every Sunday, the religious clubs go wild.
Its something that should be left alone, to pass quietly in its natural course.
If left alone, they would eventually stop, but the moment you start deleting them, they start to make a mess, claiming to be martyrs being oppressed.
You learn by taking hits.
Starting from now, for a week, you, Yu Arin, will taste what hell is.
You will have to diligently delete and respond to all sorts of nonsense.
It will be a time to see just how vile and ugly humans can be under the tag of anonymity.
I hope you have a strong stomach.
Feeling a presence, I looked at the computer screen to find that a game had started loading.
It seemed odd that while I was chatting with Yu Arin, Seo Yerin started the game.
Hey.
Woojin, the game started.
You picked Ignite again? I told you to take Teleport.
A true womans choice is Ignite.
A true mans choice is to beat everyone up regardless of gender, so follow me. Lets have a real fight.
A true womans choice, no backing down.
Is that a sexual joke?
At my words, Seo Yerins face turned red as she forced herself to look at the screen.
Th-thats not what I meant.
Seeing her flustered like that, I wondered how she operated as Anonymous69.
