[TS] The Return of The Gamer - Chapter 240

“Kuaaak! S, save me! Tap! Tap!”

Even as Kim Ji-hoon showed Kim Jae-min what a real death sentence was, I couldn't take my eyes off of Seo Yeon-woo.

Because for me, what was important right now wasn't over there, but over here.

“W-what?”

“Noona… does… do you have a boyfriend……?”

“Why, why would I have one?”

Is this guy crazy?

No, he's drunk, so strictly speaking, he's in a state of diminished capacity, but…….

“Right? You don’t?”

“Why the sudden question?”

“Well, the other day…….”

“The other day, what?”

“So, um…….”

Seo Yeon-woo’s face, already red, turned as if it would burst.

“So……”

Seo Yeon-woo tried to say something, then slammed her head onto the floor and collapsed.

The team members were also drunk, so they just chuckled at Seo Yeon-woo's collapse and showed no other reaction.

No, in the first place, Kim Jae-min and Kim Ji-hoon were in a very busy state, so it couldn't be helped.

“Hy, hyung! Over there! Over there!”

“Why?”

“Seo Yeon-woo passed out!”

Only after using Seo Yeon-woo as a sacrifice did Kim Ji-hoon's CC skill, which had been binding Kim Jae-min, get released.

As expected of a supporter I acknowledged, his CC chain was amazing.

“Ugh… I almost died.”

Kim Jae-min, panting, crawled out, and then, upon meeting the passed-out Seo Yeon-woo, chuckled as if nothing had happened.

“This damn kid's wasted.”

“Hey, you can't sleep here.”

Kim Jae-min slapped Seo Yeon-woo's cheeks a few times, but Seo Yeon-woo showed no signs of waking up.

“Should we head out soon?”

Kim Jae-min said to Baek Seong-an's words.

“Why? It's fun.”

“She passed out.”

“Ugh, people pass out when they drink. We can wake her up. Hey! Wake up!”

Kim Jae-min's voice didn't reach Seo Yeon-woo.

“Hey! Seo Yeon-woo!”

“Leave her. Ji-hoon, can you carry her?”

“Yes.”

And so, the company dinner naturally ended.

It wasn't a dinner after the season was completely over, and there were matches the day after tomorrow, so they couldn't overdo it.

“Will it be okay?”

“No problem.”

Kim Ji-hoon looked quite drunk, yet he lightly tucked Seo Yeon-woo under one arm.

Even looking at it again, it was an unbelievable feat of strength.

“Oh, that wasn't fake muscle.”

“I agree. I almost saw my ancestors earlier. If he’d put in a little more effort, I would’ve been dead for real.”

Baek Seong-an spat out, and Kim Jae-min caught it.

“……”

Of course, as Kim Ji-hoon's gaze brushed past, both of them shut their mouths as if nothing had happened.

“Noona, aren’t you going?”

“Ah, ah! I should go. Uh-huh.”

……What?

What the hell is going on?

I felt like things were being glossed over somehow.

Then, we got into Secretary Jang’s car, which had been waiting for us, and arrived at the dorm first, dropping off the team members.

“See ya tomorrow!”

“Uh-huh. Go in. Take care of Yeon-woo. Are you okay?”

“Yup! Totally fine!”

Kim Jae-min tried to act as if he was fine, but his staggering gait told us his current condition.

As Baek Seong-an and Kim Ji-hoon put their heads into Kim Jae-min's, they said in turn,

“Yu-jin, be careful going in too.”

“Please drive safely.”

“Everyone, take care.”

After taking all the team members to the dorm, I immediately got into the car.

“Ugh……”

“Shall we head straight to your place?”

“Ah, yes, yes.”

It was a tiring day.

* * *

OLZ Dorm.

Kim Jae-min and Baek Seong-an, whose drunkenness had worn off, looked at each other.

Even if it was strong alcohol, they hadn't drunk that much, so they sobered up faster than expected.

No, in the first place, as befitting expensive alcohol, the hangover didn't seem that strong. Should I say it was strangely clean?

“Phew, I almost fucked up.”

“Good job.”

“Anyway, this guy's the problem.”

There was Seo Yeon-woo, sprawled on the sofa.

“Ugh.”

A strange sense of melancholy was visible in Kim Jae-min's gaze.

He knew this day would come someday, but he didn't expect it to be today.

“Alcohol is the enemy.”

Even if a person is rational, things change when alcohol enters the picture.

The result of that was today.

As Kim Jae-min shook his head, looking at Seo Yeon-woo, Seo Yeon-woo suddenly opened her eyes.

“What, what's wrong?”

“Ugh… Thh-thh!”

Baek Seong-an shook his head.

There was a type of person who was usually well-behaved but became a complete mess when they drank, and Seo Yeon-woo was one of them.

“……Seriously, this is too much.”

“Hyung, what are you doing! Quickly, a bag! A bag!”

“Where’s a bag? Ugh! Ji-hoon!”

In the end, even Kim Ji-hoon, who was preparing to wash up, had to step in to clean up the mess.

“Can't you just carry her into the bathroom?”

“I think it’ll get on my clothes.”

“Ugh! Just carry her!”

“Waaah!”

Seo Yeon-woo's vomit poured onto Kim Jae-min's head.

“…Ugh, that bastard's dead when he wakes up tomorrow!”

Along with Kim Jae-min's resolution,

“Waaaaaaah!”

“Aaaaaah!!”

“Just throw her in the bathtub!”

A second war broke out in the dorm.

* * *

I commute to the dorm.

Soon, even though my coming home wasn't a particularly special occasion, my family was all gathered in the living room.

“You’re home?”

“Oh, yeah. Why are you all here?”

My father, who seemed more serious than usual.

My mother, who seemed a little angry.

My younger sibling, who looked like they were about to die of amusement.

“The company dinner? Did you do well?”

“Uh-huh. I did well.”

“Really?”

My mother's expression was strange.

Strictly speaking, it was similar to usual, but that was the atmosphere.

“The team members?”

“They went to the dorm.”

“Really?”

My sibling said with amusement.

“I’m seeing the day my sister comes home drunk.”

I felt like I needed to correct something regarding the honorifics, but I didn't have the energy.

At that moment, my father called me.

“Yu-jin.”

“Yeah?”

“That… never mind. Go wash up and sleep. You have to go to work early tomorrow, right?”

“Ah, yeah. Uh-huh.”

“Okay.”

What is it?

It felt like everything was strange today.

‘…I don’t know.’

I should just wash my feet and go to sleep.

*

After washing and lying down, I couldn't seem to fall asleep.

I should be sleeping soon for tomorrow… unfortunately, I couldn't sleep, maybe because of what happened today.

「“Noona, by any chance……”」

「“Yeah?”」

「“Pu-ff… It's nothing.”」

「“What is it?”」

「“……Do you have a boyfriend?”」

Why the hell would he ask that?

And why was my family's reaction at home so strange today?

‘What is it?’

Something, something is strange.

In the end, I couldn't help myself and opened the community on my smartphone.

I hadn't looked at it much lately, but I thought it wouldn't be bad to take a look since our team had won today.

-I love you, Noona. I love you, Noona. I love you, Noona. I love you, Noona. I love you, Noona. I love you, Noona. I love you, Noona. I love you, Noona.

-Outlaw and the Kids bulletin board. Outlaw and the Kids bulletin board. Outlaw and the Kids bulletin board.

-Stop spamming, you bastards.

-This is the first time I’ve seen the pure ones looking pure lol.

The situation seemed a bit more serious than usual, but the rate of post generation was so fast that the spam was quickly buried.

But what would it be like to use the same dorm as Outlaw?

-lol ㅋㅋ

-Heung…

-Measure the angle, you fools… A few people have been sued hard.

-Noona, I'm really (about to get sued) dead… Please settle…

-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-You b*stards ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-Judging by the looks of it, she probably has a handsome, golden spoon boyfriend ㅇㅇ

-N Don't slander our Noona, you b*tch, she said she was a loner on the broadcast.

-N you idiot ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ you believe that?

+

I hadn't thought much about this part.

No, I tried not to be conscious of it.

It was the same with YSG before, and not many people seemed to be too conscious of it on the current team.

But…….

What if all of that was done with the consideration of others?

+

────────

Who confessed first?

────────

────────

｡ﾟﾟ･｡･ﾟﾟ｡

ﾟ。 I Love You

　ﾟ･｡･

I think it would be a surprisingly young kid.

────────

-They would be cut off right away ㅋㅋ

-Don't expect too much from a LoL player... Does it make sense that a confession would be a direct attack?

-Didn't you see the broadcast? What confession, lol ㅋㅋ If you saw her in front of you, you'd have a cardiac arrest right away.

-Don't slander our Noona, you b*tch, she said she was a loner on the broadcast. Don't slander our Noona, you b*tch, she said she was a loner on the broadcast. Don't slander our Noona, you b*tch, she said she was a loner on the broadcast.

-N you're even worse, you b*stard.

At the moment I saw this post, I felt like I understood the meaning of the bizarre question Seo Yeon-woo had asked.

“……Hoo.”

Oh, come on.

Still, that can’t be it.

I continued to read the community.

+

────────

My honest opinion) Honestly, Outlaw is so ugly ㅇㅇ

────────

────────

So, when should we have a fan meeting and prove it ㅇㅇ

I'm definitely in

────────

-lol ㅋㅋ

-It hasn't been proven yet ㅋㅋ

-This is right

-ㅅㅂ ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

-ㅇㅈ If it hasn't been verified, it's the camera's doing ㅋㅋㅋㅋ

+

“Ha……”

I lowered my smartphone as I read the community.

This won’t do.

I can't let it be like this.

Of course, I know that the suspicion is still just a suspicion.

I also know very well that if I get ahead of myself, I will only look foolish.

But,

My goal is to win the Red Cup, and I had no intention of being held back by such trivial matters.

It was right to nip it in the bud before someone was hurt.

‘Okay.’

Having made up my mind, I sent a message to our team's group chatroom.

[There is something to convey.]

A message with a slightly long content.
