His gaze seemed 74dc2564f4 to ask why ba4e9523b7 I was bringing c17feebd8f them up out 0cf9c5fa41 of nowhere. Well, even I thought 1f2e5e6d06 it was a sudden 51fe728738 question.0309ed96938871ff
But I 4ca4932cdd needed to ee9a8c2ca2 know their fa67d2de6e whereabouts. After all, I 742265539f had been thrust f616c315bc into a bleak ce9c5f712a BL game where 1fd703c665 they were the 1e72e96c58 main characters.7bb3b359cd2b47cd

I had 9f882d93c0 to know 1e7b68ac66 how far 246d6921b3 the original d57aaa0207 story had f01c8ea694 progressed to 5c4b505004 figure out 8ed6c0e085 how to 4ab6c81d1c avoid those 8685cbb163 pesky sub 597e93d57c gongs or 6eef7ca25b come up 43adb4ccfd with a 88f3e3e8fa clear plan.4eb4d2e1342a28b7
Sure, I had chances to ask Jeong Yeonji or Heo Taekgyun before. But those two were so close to the ‘previous’ Kang Baram that they knew even the number of his eyelashes. If I suddenly asked about the original gong and soo, they’d find it very suspicious.df0021e1a6afe549

Compared to them, Chae Goya was different. We only exchanged greetings when we met, maintaining a comfortable distance. He didn’t know me inside out, so it was easier to ask him.1ce275e7dc12d942

Baek Seojoon, the original gong, and Ha Seongrim, the original soo, were the same age as me. So I naturally used informal speech, but Chae Goya’s expression seemed odd.8fe20c901b25f560

Like calling them Junjun or Rimrim with some cringy nickname… No way. I was a D-grade extra who never even got mentioned properly in the game. There was no way I had ever spoken to the main characters.e17e00037c6bfba3
While I was puzzled by Chae Goya’s expression, an unexpected answer came.4755461c19a01d0c

Ah, so to summarize, 99d287019b the S-grade hunter and 0b5700ca39 original gong, Baek Seojoon, 5443c4cf09 moved to a new 6fd8879599 guild‘Abyss’ with the original soo, Ha Seongrim, after they got together… to escape those persistent sub gongs.1c513aada31452fa

‘Baek Seojoon and Ha Seongrim…’6f160ee051c79ebd
My sister had a lot of affection and pride in her work, and she often recited their names at home like they were her children, so I couldn’t help but remember them.17f415f09732b50f

After many trials and a dramatic love triangle, Ha Seongrim eventually chooses Baek Seojoon as his partner. Not SS-grade hunter Ye Ilhoo, not vice guild master Ryumin, not the guild master’s brother Chae Goya.0872d1397240d02f
The game ends with Ye Ilhoo, the twisted character, Ryumin, the subtle schemer, and Chae Goya, the timid crybaby, having to let go of the one they loved…65768e23229de420

But doesn’t something seem off? Usually, in games with multiple gongs and one soo, there are multiple endings.8093800dedae406d
To explain 002cb3f4a4 a bit 20656a25c9 of adult 6bb6741252 business, this af2eb1cd6b game was 023553ae6d a one-gong-one-soo 1f6a186fb2 game disguised 8d297a395f as a d12a13b7bb multiple-gong-one-soo game. In short, it 04ee66ae61 was false advertising.f13492efc3bb433c

Despite the flashy characters and the unique twist of incorporating hunters, it could have been popular, but it was ruined by the investor’s ridiculous stubbornness.363b762f8ff20f31
[Baek Seojoon is the most handsome, so let’s go with him.]
My sister, furious, said a9c890e33f that the main gong 4caf778455 is chosen by the e549a2f295 players, not the developers, 3ff115a1eb while downing soju in a2e6fadf28 front of me.97d886e795c1bd29

Even showing this shy affection to me, whom he barely knew, I couldn’t imagine how he felt letting go of Ha Seongrim, whom he loved passionately.33201a72974d61c8
