When I quit my job, my co-workers became obsessed with me

Her clenched lips trembled slightly, and a sticky feeling was felt in the palm of her hand.

However, Dasom pretended to be okay, coughed a few times, and then straightened her expression. Then, I looked at Yu-jin’s reaction, hoping that his words would be buried in the loud music of the cafe.

“Oh, it’s true that it starts in two hours. I had an appointment before that.”

Wrong. Yu Yu-jin listened carefully to his words.

That’s right, common sense means that you’re leaving because you have an appointment.

“I was so busy talking, I didn’t realize the time was passing.”

“Ah, ah. okay.”

Although he was smiling on the outside, Dasom’s head was in a mess as if a typhoon had struck.

If you think about it for a bit, you can see that it was true, but why did he make such a nonsensical sound?

I was nervous.

I was blown away when the conversation with the angel I had thought would never come true, but somewhere in my heart I had always dreamed of, was established.

Reason was paralyzed and critical thinking was dyed pink.

Ah, if I had known this would be the case, I would have had more lucid dreams. About five or six times of data was not enough.

However, although he was able to get used to the conversation through lucid dreaming, he could not even look into Yu-jin’s cell phone.

If he makes an appointment through messenger, there is no way to know. There is no way to do that, and invasion of privacy is a serious crime.

⋯⋯But, there must have been no one enough to make an appointment with Dojin-i personally, even on such an ambitious night?

Of course, he was close with Chae Seol-Ha, but he rarely met him personally, and above all, he must be working part-time as a kitchen assistant at ‘Shortdari’, a bar on the first floor of the Pia Building, 149 Novello, Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.

As for the rest of my friends, there would be only a child named Yu Ga-ryun.

weird.

Of course, Dojin is friendly with the child too, and in reality, we had to become close through various incidents over the past few months, but ⋯⋯ Still, we were not close enough to keep in touch privately, did we?

Most of all, I couldn’t believe the fact that the disgusting child who only uttered hateful words even though Dojin was so friendly contacted me first.

What happened between the two of them while he was distracted and neglected to observe?

You have a duty to know. Even if it is a friend of an angel, if it is a pest approaching for a bad purpose, it is because he has to cut it out himself.

Yes, you have to tread so thoroughly that you can’t even think of a bad idea. Just like the goblin last time⋯⋯.

“Anyway, I’m really sorry for what I said, but I’ll cut it short today and next time⋯⋯.”

Next chance.

There is no next chance.

It felt like being hit in the head with a hammer. It was because the thought he had just had a moment ago felt unbearably creepy and terrifying.

‘By what qualifications am I to get rid of pests⋯⋯?’

was crossing the line

Thirst, which had been quenched by just looking at his face at school, soared without knowing the sky from a certain moment, and the emotion that was just a bit of pity inflated into a feeling of need for protection after the goblin incident.

“Then you should go quickly. Now, here is the bag⋯⋯.”

Dasom pressed her heart into her bag and zipped it tightly.

“thank you.”

With this, everything is over. Putting everything down makes me feel better.

If there is one thing I wish for, I hope that he will be remembered as a good person—

“But how did you know?”

“yes?”

“You mentioned the White Island Hot Time event earlier. How do you know that I care⋯⋯?”

Dasom’s shoulder bounced up.

“Ahh. Is it? Did I say that?”

“yes. It’s definitely the White Island⋯⋯.”

“Yeah, that’s it. That’s it.”

Dasom’s head was spinning even tighter than on the day of the entrance exam.

“So⋯⋯Well, my friends, from one to ten, had to participate in that game’s hot time event, and there hasn’t been a riot since yesterday. What, are you giving away limited skins as a reward? So I was just wallpapering the group chat room, and I guess that’s why I got neurosis. Words went out of vain Ugh, look at my mind.”

“Oh, I understand. One of my friends has been bothering me all week because of it.”

went through

However, you shouldn’t be relieved once you get through it. You have to push it so hard that you don’t even think about it.

Dasom made a forced smile and continued to speak softly.

“Yeah, it’s very popular these days, that game. I tried it a bit, and it was fun.”

“yes?”

Dasom’s heart sank in response to the strong reaction with a look of embarrassment.

“Hey, did I say something strange⋯⋯?”

“No, it’s not like that⋯Are you saying you’re doing it anyway? Even now.”

“Yes, yes. I’m doing it consistently. I like it very much. It’s enough to meticulously check the patch notes and event history. You just saw it. I’m so immersed in it, I can’t tell the difference between the game and reality.”

Yu Yu-jin, who was contemplating something with her eyes narrowed, carefully opened her mouth.

“Have you ever played squad mode?”

* * *

When I opened the glass door with the information attached to it and entered, I found a space with a computer hanging out.

A fluorescent lamp that mimics a chandelier and a marble floor that reflects the light and sparkles. The interior doesn’t look like a hotel lobby.

However, the musty smell of cigarettes emanating from the corner indicated that this was a PC room, not a hotel.

– Drive, drive. ’cause I’m going My brother turns on CCTV first.

“wait. Is there a palace over there?”

“Yes, yes.”

In the PC room with an ambivalent atmosphere, Dasom and Yudojin were waving their mice.

– Oh, what, what, what, what!

“Why is that, sweetheart? why.”

– Bush! There’s a team in Bush. subtract this is ambidextrous

“Did you hear me? subtract.”

“yes? Oh okay. I will go there now.”

Dasom moved the character by manipulating the mouse with those words.

But it was quicker for the other teams to find it than for the two to run away.

– Run away. You can jump over walls with E.

“Okay, wait.”

However, in embarrassment, Yoo Ji-jin made a mistake in the operation, and his character suddenly locked himself up in the wall.

― Wow⋯⋯.

“⋯⋯.”

Yudo-jin’s character, who was soon under intense fire, disappeared as a powder, leaving only a soft flurry.

– It was just really cool.

A clap of applause could be heard over the monitor, and Yu Yu-jin covered her face with both palms as if in shame.

It felt very cute because it was in Idasom, but now is not the time to sit still.

– I’m nervous and I’m leaving. I did well for the first edition.

However, Dasom did not care and continued the game.

– uh?

He succeeded in avoiding the attacking skills of the opposing team with detailed manipulation and matching the other team on the other side, and using the ultimate skill with a wide-area attack function in the gap between the two teams to sweep away 6 characters at once. succeded.

― Awesome⋯⋯.

“Oh, you’re doing really well⋯⋯.”

Dasom, who felt burdened by the overflowing elasticity, said with a sly smile.

“I was just lucky. just got it.”

― Luck is talking about your brother’s skills.

“hey.”

Yu-jin’s face turned red again.

– Anyway, it’s really great. If you’re late while looking for someone like this, it’s acceptable even if you’re late. Who are you? Are you from the same school as us?

“Yeah, all-.”

Yoo Ji-jin, who continued to speak, quickly shut her mouth. It was because I saw Idasom shaking her head from the side.

You have to leave, but it gets complicated as the number of people you know increases. That was Dasom’s idea.

– What is it? who is it

“Oh, just ⋯⋯ friend. It’s been a while since we’ve met, but I brought my mourning to the White Island.”

― What are you talking about, where is your friend?

“⋯⋯ Hmmm.”

― What else are you taking so seriously? And why do you need a friend? I wish I had a sister and me. So who are you really?

“There is someone who worked part-time at a private academy for a while.”

― Ah⋯⋯. What did you do when Nari unnie was there?

“uh. But it’s because you’re a bit shy. It’s not really important, just do it. If you have something to say, I will tell it for you.”

– I see.

“⋯⋯Why are you so docile?”

Yu Yu-jin, who was looking at the monitor, muttered in admiration.

– Stir, I can hear everything.

“I heard you right. Don’t you just think about your skin and say thank you?”

– Oh, no. What is that⋯, you know it without even saying it⋯⋯.

A wavy smile appeared on Dasom’s face in the cute conversation, as if watching kindergarten children playing in their childhood.

Yes, whatever the reason we became friends, what do I know? If we get along well with our Dojin, that’s good. From what I’m saying, he’s very shy, but it doesn’t seem like he’s a bad kid.

⋯⋯

‘No, why are you getting closer!?’

Dasom clenched her hair and screamed silently.

Why did it become like this? Why are you getting closer to a state where it won’t be enough to leave right now?

So, obviously, a kid named Yu Ga-ryun fell in love with the game White Island and wanted to have a skin for the squad mode ranked match.

But I don’t really like the game of mining, the only friend of the two. That’s why Dojin brought me here.

Of course, there wasn’t much of a problem. She played any game Yudo-jin played, and she had mastered her skills to a semi-pro level.

All in order to rule out pests that interfere with the happiness of the angel and to give you a pleasant victory.

For that purpose, she secretly made a friend request to Yu-jin’s account using a sub-account, and at each matching time, she mobilized multiple computers and IDs to create a board to become Yu-jin’s team or the enemy team.

For allies, he made sure that all the balls went to Yu-Jin with the best support, and for the enemy, he played the role of losing in a close battle.

Of course, if the tail is long, it may be trampled on, so the frequency is only about two out of five. In the first place, since Yu-jin’s average daily access time was not long, it was not a very laborious process.

access time?

⋯⋯ Come to think of it, when I said that the time in the game has increased these days, is it because I have someone to play with?

Of course, if you search on the history search site, you can find out quickly, but Dasom didn’t want to do that.

Because that was an invasion of privacy that a vicious stalker would do!

⋯⋯

‘No, no, that’s good now, so we have to leave before it’s too late.’

It was the moment when Dasom Lee, who had organized her thoughts, was about to say hello to Yu-jin.

― Anyway⋯⋯Are you going to run until hot time today?

An innocent and pretty voice echoed through the monitor. It was a voice with little expectations.

“I’m sorry. I’ll tell you for you, so if you’re busy, you can just go.”

Contrary to the lines, Yu Yu-jin’s voice had a slight uplifting feeling. After all, he’s a game-loving kid. It must have been that the previous version was so much fun that it was thrilling.

Ah, if you look at me with those eyes, you can never say no.

Until today.

Only until today, that’s it.

“it’s okay. There are no promises.”

“Still, the time is slowly passing—”

Dasom shook her head and smiled slightly as she looked into Yu Yu-jin’s eyes.

“I told you before⋯⋯ that I like you a lot.”

It was the moment when Dasom’s new routine began.
