“…Ah.”
Jin-seong opened his eyes while listening to the capsule’s insipid guidance voice.
Because of the change in front of my eyes, the boundary between whether this place is real or virtual reality is about to blur.
Eventually, Jin-seong saw a shape that appeared at the same time as the capsule door opened, and wondered if he was experiencing side effects that he had not yet escaped from virtual reality.
‘ghost…?’
Aside from the long, black hair.
It was because the appearance that seemed to be screaming a lot was like that of a vengeful spirit (?).
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!! What are you doing with everything off now!!!”
“…Heeek?”
As the capsule door opened and a sharp scream came in, Jin-seong swallowed his breath. A woman with a face that seemed to have seen it somewhere was screaming loudly with her eyes covered.
All of the things I’ve been seeing lately have been ghosts—of course, there was a handsome ghost who asked to be called a heroic spirit—or evil spirits, so I didn’t let my guard down easily.
Even a gamer who had just disconnected from virtual reality couldn’t help but be surprised to hear the sharp scream that pierced his ears as soon as the capsule was opened without even rubbing his eyes.
The mechanism of the Galaxy-M24 Apple is to put the user into a state of apnea and make them believe that virtual reality is real, which was supposed to make them feel like they had just woken up for a while or drunk after getting out of a so-called full dive. .
“What are you doing!!! Hurry up and don’t get dressed!!”
“Cheuk.”
When a towel flew into his face, Jinseong swallowed his breath. Even then, he hadn’t fully come to his senses yet.
Even if Jinseong just got out of virtual reality, would you think he would blow a towel in the face while sitting in a capsule?
Moreover, considering that the power of the towel contained a fastball comparable to that of a baseball player, it could be said that it was only natural that Jinseong’s breath was stopped.
‘What kind of power…?!’
“Kek! Kekek!”
It was a fastball that made even him, a bone marrow fitness enthusiast with years of fitness experience and a 3-660, bewildered.
‘Wait, this is our house…?’
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!”
While the woman’s screams did not go away, Jinseong grabbed the flowing towel and fell into thought.
No matter how you think about it, it was strange.
The blurry structure of the room seen through the towel, the familiar smell of fabric softener, and the fuselage of the Galaxy-M24 Apple he is sitting in.
In addition, since the original body burns a lot of heat, there was nothing strange about it except for the fluorescent lights in the room, which were brightly lit even to his own body using a capsule wearing only one draw.
In other words, the person to shout out to was not the woman, but herself.
Of course, like that of a drunken person who wakes up from sleep, his consciousness inside his bone is spinning round and round, but that doesn’t mean he’s not so distraught that he can’t even figure out what’s going on with this situation.
So, despite the woman’s voice making a fuss, Jinseong briefly opened his eyes while covering his cheek with the towel that covered his face.
“What are you looking at right now!! What are you looking at!!!”
“…?”
Seo Hye-eun.
Then, in his head, the face of the person he knew began to resemble the woman in front of him.
“Oh my god…!”
Udang-tang-tang!
Realizing that the woman standing blindfolded was Hye-eun, Jin-seong quickly rolled out of the capsule.
It was because I accidentally stumbled.
no why?
Why is the woman next door standing in front of me out of nowhere?
It wasn’t that he was kidnapped by someone while he was connected to the game, and he wasn’t close enough to Hye-eun to come and go to her house.
Moreover, from the fact that he came in knowing the password to the front door of his house, Jinseong did not understand and did not want to understand.
‘Mu what what what what?! Why did they break into my house?!’
Just as Hye-eun was embarrassed to see him, Jin-seong was also embarrassed.
“Oh no! What are you all doing?! Why did they break into my house?!”
“I beg your pardon?!”
“You’re trying to rob my house…? Or what would you do to me—”
“What nonsense are you talking about!!”
drain!
Jinseong wrapped a towel around his waist and shouted, and Hyeeun turned her head and responded.
I forgot to cover my eyes because of the absurdity.
At most, at Min-jun’s request, he received the password for the front door of Jin-seong’s house, checked whether he was alive or dead, and tried to go home again.
Besides, since he was a man who had been hospitalized once, it was true that Hye-eun had her worries in a corner of her heart.
I don’t know, but it was because I couldn’t help but care.
Although I haven’t played much games in my current life, and I’ve rarely met Jin-seong, but I’m not very familiar with him, and even his acquaintances have carefully asked for a favor.
So Hye-eun could confidently say that she hadn’t even thought about anything else until the lid of the Galaxy-M24 Apple was opened.
But…
“Kyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!”
Squeak!
Hye-eun had no choice but to cover her eyes again as she suddenly saw the man in front of her with a towel wrapped around her waist, bringing her hand over her forehead as if she was dizzy for a moment.
It is also true that Jin-seong’s body, which came out of the capsule, was covered in sweat as if he had suffered from a nightmare, and his body was comparable to that of a gorilla rather than a human.
‘I feel like I’m going to vomit…’
While Hye-eun screamed, Jin-seong wrinkled his forehead. Aside from the dizzying vertigo that suddenly stabbed her, she was completely unconscious.
Feeling sick to my stomach was also nauseating, but the sudden spinning of my eyes made me feel like I was riding a roller coaster after having a drink.
Besides, seeing Hye-eun right in front of her was making a fuss, there was no way her body could withstand it, even if it was Jinseong, who is called Injagang.
Not too long ago, he had even gone head-to-head with a legendary hero—who, of course, was now just a ghost haunting him.
It was because he had wielded a legendary weapon that required an enormous amount of physical strength just by holding it until it was knocked down.
“Because I made sure he was alive! I’m going home…?”
“Uweeeeeek.”
– Kyaaaaaaaaaaa!
Soon, Hye-eun’s screams resonated throughout the two-room semi-basement.
* * *
“Is your brother okay? You don’t look too good?”
“What else is not okay? I am alive right now.”
“…do you want me to give you a massage? Could you do that much…?”
“I’d rather leave the fish to the cat.”
“Who really did it? I just did it!”
Jjororok—
Somewhere in a cafe in a villa village in Seoul’s university district.
Jinseong sucked on the straw, not paying attention to Geumhwa’s suspicious glance. The bitter scent of iced americano filled my mouth and flowed out through my nostrils.
Even if the chilly weather soon dies, the appearance of chewing ice like a human being who insists on ice americano is like a bear or a gorilla.
And while Geumhwa opened her ax eyes to Jinsung’s plaintive reaction, she began to turn a stern arrow at Minjun, who was sitting next to him.
“Then why does oppa let a woman into a strict man’s house by herself? Can’t you see Hye-eun unnie is very surprised?”
“I didn’t even know it would turn out like that. I’m sorry anyway. really.”
It was almost at the same time that Min-joon expressed his apology to Hye-eun, who approached, with a humble expression on his face.
“What is Minjun oppa’s fault? It’s a problem with people who can’t even check if they’re alive or dead.”
“what?”
As Hye-eun muttered as she put the homemade cake down on the table, Jin-seong stopped drinking an iced Americano and raised one eyebrow.
The appearance of wearing an apron created a neatness enough to touch the heartstrings of many men, but it was a gaze that did not pay attention to such a thing.
A cafe located along the roadside under the villa village under the mountain. It is about 10 minutes away from the villa where he and she live.
The cafe where Hye-eun works part-time is run by Min-jun’s older brother—there’s a reason why they say Korea is small—and it’s a place where Min-joon and Hye-eun can earnestly become friends with Oh-dong (= older brother & younger brother). It was also a place.
The legendary (?) part-timer Jin-seong was also familiar.
Of course, that doesn’t mean he’s never had a part-time job at the same time as Hye-eun, and he had to face them like he’d never see them again until just a while ago.
So, including Geumhwa, who runs a nearby convenience store—she said that her father told her to do a convenience store if she had nothing to do—and even Minjun, only the two of them maintained a bizarre genealogy.
“What is it? It’s not our Popeye’s little brother, Jinseong~.”
“Oh brother. hello.”
Drooling!
Soon after, Jinseong got up from his seat and lowered his head.
“no wonder. Yesterday, Hyeeun seemed to be going home in a hurry. Was her boyfriend Popeye’s younger brother? Hyeeun-ssi, if that’s true, tell me in advance! Hye-eun caught a man amazingly. Jinseong is a person, but Jinguk. I’m good to my parents, I’m good to my elders, I’m strong, I’m good at sports, I’m good at other things…”
“Manager!!!”
“older brother!!!”
When Gwang-sik, the manager of the cafe, smiled kindly and joked around, Hye-eun and Jin-seong screamed at the same time.
At the same time, it was a bonus that the party’s eyes widened.
Are you a boyfriend? Who the hell is a boyfriend?
It was initially created by Min-jun to apologize to the two, but it was only natural that the party’s brain stopped at the same time at the words of the 43-year-old Gwang-shik.
“When I saw it yesterday, Hye-eun seemed to be restless, so I got a sense. Oh, I must die because I miss my boyfriend. Or you’re rotting a lot. But you didn’t know that it was Popeye’s little brother, right? They are very nice men and women.”
“…!”
At the same time, it happened at the same time that the gold coin kicked out of its seat.
“This X baby! You pervert! How can I…?”
thump!
Geumhwa’s eyes widened, and as she suddenly covered her mouth with a puzzled face, the gaze of the party turned to her.
Even though she had already kept her mouth shut, there was no one who couldn’t hear her.
I couldn’t know everything about it, but I could already guess how the situation was going from her words.
“What the hell have you done to gold coins besides me?!”
“Hey, you trashy bird…!”
“Because it’s not!!!!”
Udang-tang-tang!
And as Min-joon and Hye-eun stretched out while holding on to his neck with Jin-seong’s shrieking scream, Geum-hwa sat down in place as if he was devastated and began to stare at the grapple in the distance.
“Is this… is it because of me? haha.”
Scratch scratch!
Only Gwang-shik was scratching the back of his head in an embarrassed manner at the cafe, which was only about 10 pyeong.
