Chapter 313 The Butterfly Effect (4) Lim Jae
-gyun, a 21-year-old Korean man.
He was born into an ordinary middle-class family and had nothing special about him except for his rather bleak school days.
However, with the advent of virtual reality technology, Jaekyun’s talent shined through, and his status began to soar without knowing how high it was.
[In the arduous process of creating the League of Legends, Mr. Lim’s ability to implement was truly phenomenal. His ability to handle in less than half a day what should have been sold out for a month with dozens of veteran designers sticking to him… Really makes no sense.] Lucid Dream, a
virtual reality integrated creator.
His ability to use this device more freely than anyone else and show maximum efficiency has attracted the attention of numerous companies that have been eyeing virtual reality technology, and the insane video he submitted for boredom is literally his popularity and recognition at the peak. raised to the heights.
[I applaud the boundless imagination of Mr. Lim, who knows no limits. We will do our best to cooperate so that you will not regret the decision of choosing Mizunisa to make the second part of ‘The Space Invasion of Earless Cat Robots’, which was submitted to this contest. Also…..]
Sangsang Daejeon SF category grand prize.
Receiving an enormous amount of 10 billion won as prize money was not enough, so the chairman of Mizunisa, the strongest player in the entertainment industry, directly praised him and even announced that he would make his next work.
Thanks to his appearances in front of cameras here and there, he gained wealth, fame, and popularity that he could not have imagined before, but in return, forces targeting him appeared.
“He is currently one of the most talented people in Korea. He was one of the key personnel involved in the production of the League of Legends remake, one of Arcadia’s core projects, and it has been confirmed that he is involved in various projects and has a close relationship with Arcadia.”
Jae-kyun caught in the surveillance network of the Japanese Cabinet Investigation Office.
Analysts who valued him suggested kidnapping him as one of the best responses to the retaliatory action.
“The risk is much lower than touching the employees of Arcadia Co., Ltd., but it is a talent that is judged to be highly effective. Considering that he is still young, it will be easy for him to coax or appease. The Korean government will not be able to come out as strong as one college student has disappeared.”
Arcadia Co., Ltd. is designated as one of the national key strategic technologies and is strongly protected. Therefore, unlike the executives and employees who were carefully managed by the Korean government for the purpose of protection and monitoring, concerned about technology leakage, Jae-gyun, who was only a mere freelancer, was outside the attention of the public authorities.
“Considering the currently weak information network in Korea that has not yet been fully established… the target is the most optimal target for abduction.”
For these reasons, Jae-gyun has become the most easy target. However, without knowing that, he is living a normal life, spending time on campus with Jae-young, his only college friend after a long time.
“Jaeyoung, why are you still living in your own room?”
“huh? self-catering? Why is that all of a sudden?”
“No…. I wondered if you could actually live in a bigger and better house…” The
undisputed owner of the world’s No. 1 channel with over billions of subscribers and the dominant player who dominates the game of virtual reality Arcadia. The player dex of the holder of influence. Jae-young, who never told me clearly, is probably earning an enormous amount of money every month. However, the place he was living in was an old one-room village that was cramped and run down at first glance.
“just? It’s close to the school, and it doesn’t need to be large anyway. It’s annoying because the space to be cleaned only gets larger.”
Jaeyoung spends most of her time in her own room anyway, either in a capsule or on a bed. That’s why he didn’t feel uncomfortable at all during his life, so he didn’t even think about moving, but Jae-gyun made a strange expression at Jae-young’s answer.
“Is that so? I am looking for a slightly bigger house this time.”
“okay?”
“Yeah….. I received a prize money, and I got quite a bit more money than I thought….
He became rich in tens of billions in an instant due to the amount of 10 billion won and the down payment for the next film of the crazy video. In a situation where he had achieved economic freedom enough to play and eat for the rest of his life at the age of only 21, Jae-kyun was surrounded by all kinds of people who were trying to somehow get a piece of soybean paste, sending eyes full of envy, jealousy, and envy. However, Jae-kyun, who had spent his lonely school days with no one around, was starting to feel uncomfortable with the heavy attention and popularity of people.
“I have an apartment where I looked. It’s very close to our school, and there are 5 rooms. The living room is very spacious and you can see the Han River, so the scenery is really nice. There are many convenient facilities around, and the best thing is…” Jae-
Kyun lists the good points of the apartment he has seen. However, as he looked at Jaeyoung, who was listening to the story with a sullen expression, as if he was not interested at all, he soon gathered his courage and brought up a story he wanted to tell.
“That… so… Jaeyoung, would you like to live there with me…?”
tall.
Jaeyoung stops at that moment.
Then he turned around with an expression that he didn’t hear well and looked at Jaekyun and asked.
“what….?”
“That’s… there’s a lot of space anyway, and it’s boring to be alone… and the room you’re in right now looks too cramped, and just thinking about this and that…” Jaeyoung’s lukewarm
reaction Jae-gyun, who hesitates to say anything with a face that shows a clear embarrassment. For a long time, he laid out all sorts of reasons, but soon he confessed his feelings with a reddened face as if he was confessing.
“It’s just… I don’t have any friends to live with other than you…” ”
…..”
Plump appearance. An incomprehensible fashion sense. On top of that, there are the notices and stuffy behaviors that make the viewer angry. Jae-kyun, who has lived his entire life without a single good friend for all sorts of complex reasons.
That’s why he didn’t want to miss Jae-yeong, who is like a true friend who can confide deeply for the first time in college and share various stories without any stake. Of course, it was a proposal that was too burdensome for Jaeyoung who heard it.
‘This damn bastard…?’
To be honest, Jae-young doesn’t feel the need to move house.
However, knowing how much courage Jae-kyun had just said to him and knowing that he would be hurt if he rejected the offer, he couldn’t help but hesitate in this awkward situation. And soon, he began to seriously consider Jae-kyun’s proposal.
‘Anyway, it doesn’t matter if you move out of your own room after the one-year period is over, and the condition of the house is also spectacle, so it’s true that it’s a bit inconvenient…
‘ However, it is a proposal that Jae-young has nothing to lose as he can also save on the monthly rent that goes out every month. That’s why he looked at Jae-kyun, who was swallowing saliva with a nervous expression, for a moment, and then said.
“good.”
“Really?”
“step. There are conditions.”
“condition….? What is that?”
Jae-gyun, who couldn’t believe the unexpected positive answer, looked at him. However, Jae-young put several conditions on him in return for living together.
“I will make an exception for all chores except cleaning my room. Never disturb while connected to the game. Each person should take care of what they ate and do the dishes. And the most important thing…”
Jaeyoung said with a very serious face while putting off all the troublesome chores.
“Don’t ever talk like you’re confessing something while talking about this again.”
Jae-young felt dirty (?) as if he had been confessed to by a girl who had been admiring him for a long time. Seeing Jae-gyun offer to live together with such a thrill and nervous expression, Jae-young did not want to experience such a strangely unpleasant experience again.
“Yes! I will.”
“Are you trying to confess to Chaeyeon like this? I’m putting up with it because it’s me, if it’s just someone else, I ran away a long time ago.”
Jae-young gives advice to Jae-gyun with a mix of jokes and sincerity. At his words, Jaekyun muttered, scratching his head as if embarrassed.
“Hehe… Actually, I’ve already confessed several times.”
“Eh? really?”
Jae-kyun said he had already told Chae-yeon about his feelings. Jaeyoung was surprised at the fact that he didn’t know at all, and asked back, but his answer was even more shocking.
“Yeah… but they say they all fail.”
“It’s a failure…?”
“That’s… the confession was so flat that it didn’t make my heart flutter at all… He told me to think about something a little more novel and stimulating.”
“…?”
A story that is completely incomprehensible. However, Jaeyoung looked at him blankly and opened his mouth to say something, then let out a deep sigh and said.
“Ugh. Yes….. do as you please. I like it, but who can say what?”
Two people who seem to have gone far beyond the normal range. In a way, Jae-young, who even thought that they were the most suitable match in nature, said to Jae-gyun.
“Then… we have a lot of time anyway, so shall we go see the apartment you looked at?”
“uh? really?”
Jae-Kyun is delighted with Jae-Young’s proposal to move into an apartment or go sightseeing. In response to his question, Jaeyoung nodded.
“Still, if I want to go in and live there, I have to look around and see where it was formed and how it was eaten. I have about three hours until dinner anyway, so I think that would be enough…”
But at that moment.
Jaeyoung couldn’t finish what he was saying at the feel of cold metal behind his back.
“Don’t panic and act calmly. You’d better not even dream of any nonsense like screaming. You will regret it.”
Korean words full of threatening life. However, unlike the cold-faced man who seemed fluent and warned in a foreign tone, the pretty woman clinging to Jae-kyun’s side smiled brightly and acted aegyo.
“oh. hello baby I haven’t seen you in a really long time.”
From a distance, the two of them cling to each other with a friendly feeling, as if they were a group of friends. And soon, the two of them naturally took Jaeyoung and Jaekyun into an unidentified van parked at the driveway of the alleyway.
“Who the hell are you all…? Why all of a sudden….?”
Unlike Jae-young, who silently follows with a stiff face, Jae-gyun tries to resist with a panicked face. But then the woman, who was clinging to Jaekyun’s forearm with a smile on her face, whispered in a very cold voice.
“If you don’t want to see your friend die here, you’d better get in the car right now.”
The gun stabbing Jaeyoung in the back.
Jae-kyun froze with a frightened expression at the action of the two trying to take him somewhere with a weapon that was never easily found in Korea, but soon began to calm down at Jae-young’s words.
“It’s okay, so let’s just type.”
“Yes….?”
“If I had tried to harm her anyway, I wouldn’t have bothered to take her this way. I don’t know what they want from us…”
Two unknown people. However, Jae-young, sensing that there must be something bigger behind the fact that he was carrying a gun, glanced at the man standing behind him and said.
“Once you play it to the tune, you won’t die.”
Jae-young and Jae-kyun are kidnapped in the middle of a studio town with such a large population.
But no one noticed that the two had disappeared.
Except for just one being.
