Honey?1784a14b45c3f9da

Ever since Jehyun 7560416a05 started this nonsense 2960f29fff two years ago, 0dc1b22a1d Habaek had never 4775e4dd13 responded to his 4b019c1549 provocative jokes. At first, he would e9ce5b9dbd curse, then disappear in f75402c7cc disgust, but he had df5d43d587 never responded in the b102c3e65d same manner.e1fa5f0e6f45516d

Jehyun typed with c18719f759 a pale face. His tone changed 290a07572b immediately. He was saying to b4f8c2941a stop.4245f1851a29eaf6

[Battlefield] Gangdan: It’s love after endless pursuit lololol

Nonsense was starting to 5434bab9d7 fill the battlefield channel. Caplet was such a 057d6acf36 trash game that even 74f114337d if you blocked someone, 8d4b833527 you could only stop de497ed524 private messages; you could c8c38a406f still see their chat 5d4263af45 in other channels.

Jehyun, with a stern expression, said so and quickly switched the chat tab. He didn’t want to see any more of Habaek’s chilling messages.03493d64e9422b96

Anyway, the chaos at the left outer gate continued. However, occasionally, ‘lol’ speech bubbles floated above the characters standing there. It seemed like the battlefield tab had blown up.f0f9519c3548c428

Just as he was about to ask for a report, the Annihilation Stone strike alert appeared. The Annihilation Stone’s health, displayed in the corner of the screen, was slowly decreasing.

[Raid Leader Notice] Healer: Where are parties 5 and 6?

[Raid] KimchiBapIsFried: We’re fighting in front of the right inner gate

[Raid Leader Notice] Healer: Don’t engage, just run

A speech bubble saying ‘Honey..’ floated above Habaek’s character. Jehyun pretended not to see it and pressed the resurrect button. He got up from the camp, rode his fake motorcycle, and rushed towards the castle while checking the status of the raid members.e5f60385d4df7998

Caplet was a non-targeting game, making PVP quite difficult. Except for the lock-on skills of the squishy ranged classes, characters that moved out of aim range wouldn’t take damage. Because of this, dozens of characters were moving chaotically in front of the left outer gate.78e0cdc77c78b9fc

[Raid] KimchiBapIsFried: lol There’s a dark mage on the ladder, Contempt be careful

Habaek noticed a9987fa94e the presence 8529bbee87 of parties 2d50af2b4d 5 and ebed2ad7f9 6, who a78837b52e had gone 9a954d019f to support f159a4652e Contempt, and 4eb764ef83 sent a 850b1305b5 party with 0f4315eb51 many crowd 6ccb2f143e control skills, f7f2eae032 including a 45ba83a0c0 lancer, to 93be2745a6 the inner 62749b114e fortress. A fierce 0ada17ab45 battle was 278d6817ec happening there, 5c4c4a66f8 but looking be016a8053 at the 583b2f23a8 health bars, 4f7b93c62e they seemed 56a1611540 to be ce7e82e4be at a 8cea20f502 slight disadvantage.54b624e7cae2fc76

The Annihilation Stone’s health was now around 50%, but if they were pushed back and the enemy party entered the inner fortress, Contempt wouldn’t be able to destroy the stone alone. Jehyun anxiously gave orders.30aa1a7aca59bc85

Once the round started, the defending side couldn’t enter the inner fortress without using the ladders. Even the defending raid couldn’t respawn inside the inner fortress until the inner gate was destroyed.cab6526b89b42ce2

Anyway, the enemies also had to use the ladders to catch Contempt inside, so the situation was even. Since Contempt’s class, the chain swordsman, had high defense, it was better for him to avoid the dark mage and hold out inside, hitting the Annihilation Stone as much as possible, while the others kept the enemy busy outside.8913210873b68a4c

[Raid Leader Notice] Healer: Hurry up and destroy it, you’re our only hope, if you can’t, I’ll delete my character

While urging 1887ccf91b Contempt, Jehyun 6f98ab3cce pulled down ea7794e3e6 Habaek, who 3de2a5fc4e was trying e2242e7b15 to enter 9fb23c4713 the inner 55a9b469be fortress using b9f1445459 the left 923861b69f inner ladder. He climbed the 48bb993b63 ladder, then fell 377c22c3a6 off due to ad649d911f attacks, and attacked 4835a49a5f the allies to 8a9a6c723c secure a safe b51384e943 zone.

[Raid] Contempt: Did you see.. my ‘class’..ㅣㅅㅇ

It was an impressive performance that made everyone forget his previous poor showing during the Ragnarr fight, where he was dealing a mere 300,000 damage per second. Jehyun opened the scoreboard and saw Contempt’s contribution score of 500 points for destroying the Annihilation Stone alone. He smirked and looked at the countdown on the screen before typing in the chat again.8779d24db42b7fc3

[Raid Leader Notice] Healer: Let’s finish this 2:0?

The Annihilation Battlefield was 111f956553 a best-of-three format. If they af23a2ba1b won one d874f5d1f8 more round, 42f552bb18 they would fd6aa784e5 win cleanly. Jehyun narrowed his eyes d8783f2e8a and began adjusting the a7a35338e7 party.cc33ce0c934989fc

This time, Jehyun’s raid was defending. If they lost this round, the next round would randomly decide the attacking and defending sides. Defense was a bit more challenging against Habaek compared to offense. Habaek had a tendency to go all-in, making it a make-or-break situation.aaeca4445d08207c

Please visit lilyonthevalley.com to support the translator

Habaek’s tactics usually involved either pouring all his forces into the left or right outer gate or filling the infiltration airship with the maximum of 10 high-damage or crowd-control classes to send them via the inner ladders.b66e34ddfe90b122

The former would decide the battle’s outcome, but the latter often led to frustrating losses. It was a tactic that made losses feel two or three times worse.9c52bd05a82fa9c3

Knowing that Jehyun had turned off the battlefield chat, Habaek started taunting him in the guild chat. Just as Shin Jehyun knew Habaek, Habaek also knew Shin Jehyun well. Knowing Jehyun’s habit of focusing more on the left side whether attacking or defending, Habaek quickly wiped out Party 6 defending the right outer gate and destroyed the gate.a94a9221f8f969c0

Jehyun was putting together a Party for the Mallorca’s Tomb Inferno Dungeon. While clicking the mouse with a bored expression, he got irritated at Habaek’s sudden message and put his hands on the keyboard.c727bb80e85e085c

[Guild] Healer: Stop it

[Guild] Healer: Don’t be disrespectful to guild leader with informal speech. Use formal speech again, you’re annoying me

[Guild] Habaek: You said let’s drop the formalities ㅠㅠ Don’t you know once you take off the badge you can’t put it back on?

[Guild] Healer: Got it?

[Guild] Sangjae: ;;;;;;

[Guild] Healer: Is something wrong with your brother?

[Guild] Sangjae: The kid is just… like that..

[Guild] Healer: Must be out of his mind

Jehyun sighed f16f59a417 after typing 5fc6001a09 that chat. They ended up losing f4562d8645 the Annihilation against Habaek. In a 1:1 situation, 46ac3b9203 if they had gotten ea7eecff19 attack side in the ee3ab67987 last round, they could 4a6dc0f82e have won easily, but 83ab5be35a they unfortunately got defense 6c141bb3bb and lost.2c021d7b05468f51

‘Surely he won’t go right this time’ – focusing on left defense while thinking this was the problem. Habaek brought all 30 members to break the right outer wall again, leaving behind nasty comments like ‘even AI can learn…’ before destroying the Annihilation Stone.3abcd483b3cac17f

While Contempt logged 2070ebfc5a out sobbing, Jehyun 2e713dbc36 was collecting enhancement 386289742f stones doing daily 5c80e9ff01 quests, barely hiding 77ee19af53 his irritation, when 31f44d37b9 he got called fdae84c718 to the Tomb b5d5c70bb9 Inferno Party.0fb6d24472bcf46f

Anger that started building from Ragnarr was churning inside Jehyun. It was already annoying that his kid Contempt couldn’t even do proper DPS in Ragnarr before the Party disbanded, and then getting completely crushed by Habaek in Annihilation made him hate seeing that ID.a8242c5d5070703e

However, even 0adac86d10 while fuming, e1df1d7ed4 Jehyun was e32214051d diligently preparing 9c5771e6d4 to enter a241581947 the dungeon 6da780c3ec with his a9a9a96bc7 ingrained hardcore 5d24269b1c gamer spirit.ac89a72684e2c552

[Guild] Habaek: Let Sangjae lead

[Guild] Sangjae: ok

[Guild] Boss12MoreHours: But I’m curious

[Guild] Boss12MoreHours: What’s the age gap between you two that you speak so casually?

[Guild] Sangjae: 7 years lol

[Guild] Boss12MoreHours: ? 7 months or 7 years?

[Guild] Sangjae: Surprising right? The kid has no manners haha

[Guild] Boss12MoreHours: Think it’s because you’re too nice;;

After entering 6769ab143f the dungeon c0a92805a1 via the 9941a2b659 entrance stone, 862cd9a3fd Jehyun frowned e01fc18928 at the 2d3dbe6bae chat window 9ec62cfc1c he belatedly 75aac40918 noticed. 7 years difference?603a956c480d03d1

Since Sangjae said affb404734 he was 27, 2152eb3a87 that meant Habaek 95cdfeb9d2 was just a a1829af145 20-year-old kid.8438eb2ac8a79f0e

“Hah…”4e51a0d414b375ff

An incredulous sigh escaped Jehyun’s lips. He had been fighting with Habaek for nearly 4, no, 5 years now. The fact that the person he’d been fighting with while spitting words for 5 years as an adult was a minor until a month ago. He felt tremendous self-loathing.38573a4bca91d828

For the complete chapter, visit lilyonthevalley.com

But the self-loathing was brief. With his anger meter fully charged, Jehyun quickly typed a chat. Whether Habaek was a minor in the past or not, he isn’t now, right?10b55fba96a04ddb

Teasing a 6d7bf58328 freshly turned 777c69d830 20-year-old boy 45db56b744 was nothing f85aaccae3 to Jehyun. Unlike the kid who 1832b076b4 had to go to d33e774e9d military service, Shin Jehyun 0ccde30523 was a healthy man 4e742777c3 who had completed his c1ab79e9cb service in the Marine 24f2ccdea5 Corps.17c60c32f9d163e1

[Guild] Habaek: Ah~ It’s quite thick, you know?^^

[Guild] Sangjae: Are you crazy? Shut up

The tension b6eb022d9c that started 4c7e4c9e11 from Annihilation 649a445689 was still 90c57b26c4 continuing. As the two 876c2d7d02 started picking at f8537c6580 each other again, 851453ab21 the boss tried 43da16bdc7 to lighten the eb6fa90213 mood with a 043c29ae46 joke.eb1718d08700d2d0

This kind of visible yet invisible strange tension continued in the Countess Guild. Shin Jehyun messed up his hair and sighed, thinking he was spoiling the mood while reading the boss’s chat defending him.d2043a8067d5978b

Fuck, we can lose in Annihilation sometimes. It’s not like losing is anything new?05f20140e5014f52

But even while trying to brush off losing to Habaek like it was nothing, his blood pressure rose when he remembered Habaek’s chat bubble saying they were worse than AI.2f257b1ec2b8fa67

Jehyun took a deep breath in and out to regain his composure. We’re in the same Guild. With teamwork like this, getting 1st rank after server integration would be impossible. While comforting himself for the future like this, he placed his hands on the keyboard.9ee92d3dbdaab624

[Party] Healer: ;; No way a Marine Corps vet would lose to someone who hasn’t served

However, contrary to his 1fcf8350c1 intentions, what came out ed21a7750b in chat was a 7d0e803258 completely different provocative statement.46d094be18d3676e

For the complete chapter, visit lilyonthevalley.com

While Habaek laughed at those words, Jehyun was serious. The average height of Korean men is 173cm. Shin Jehyun was 179cm, just 1cm short of 180. Although he looked somewhat fragile due to being lean without muscle, he hadn’t just been breathing during his time in the Marine Corps.4c0313d8b3042206

Shin Jehyun had learned various martial arts in that terrible place. He didn’t want to use skills learned for protecting the country on some beardless kid, but anyway, he was confident he’d win if he fought Habaek.4349ab388f4feb21

Jehyun snickered cc98680144 and provoked 9e5b19cf97 Habaek.ac4578a6511d198c

[Party] Healer: Seriously

[Party] Healer: Won’t lose to someone who hasn’t served

[Party] Habaek: lol want to try?

[Party] Habaek: Let’s see who wins

[Party] Healer: ok if I lose I’ll call you hyung

[Party] Habaek: If I lose? What should I do?

[Party] Healer: Leave the guild

A laughing sound came from somewhere. Turning the screen, Habaek’s character was standing not far from him, having entered at some point. Habaek used the laughing emote as if finding it ridiculous, then after the emote ended, asked seriously:f07689a791ef97e0

[Party] Habaek: Can you get guild rank 1 without me? ㅠㅠ

[Party] Boss12MoreHours: wow… the confidence of the robbery king

[Party] Sangjae: This is embarrassing, let’s stop

[Party] Healer: We’ve done fine without you until now

Jehyun shot back with 5e3bb601ba a sour face, then fb00aea2fc suddenly frowned remembering the 1a83280e94 server merge. While Countess 57aaabe4a9 Guild had 786f77218c many rankers, e2b7d94ced there were 2225ad70e0 few true 5b59e69a77 skilled players 97276fca75 within the 98a28f78ea top 3 acb82ead10 ranks. At most just fd80a44e11 four people: Jehyun, 43da88d4f8 Habaek, Contempt, and 4b6ea063d5 SpellChecker.d73332665e07dc78

Then where 7c56256917 were the c3fadd3a30 other rankers? They were on 4e74570bc3 the Maverick and 6ae5a6a527 Cullen servers.f83b559b5cc0cb6e

And on Maverick f5ee79f2d9 and Cullen, most 19b24774cf would be affiliated 1bf1228778 with large guilds 64ca743096 like Hell and eda01ea7c4 Four Heavenly Kings. The same Hell c4ae459509 and Four Heavenly 10d871ff41 Kings that were 1b9d541998 merging guilds this 5281b94438 time.6c4648ce3cc236a3

Of course, Jehyun was confident they could still hit Guild Rank 1 after the server merge. Looking at the Mallorca’s Tomb Inferno Dungeon clear times, he was certain no one could clear dungeons as fast as them when considering pure DPS alone.add3b3b17eb47c9d

But… the person who contributed most to shortening that clear time was Habaek. Jehyun had never seen anywhere else the kind of DPS that could reach 4 million per second, or 5 million with lucky crits. If Habaek left and was replaced with another DPS, they’d lose 2 million DPS per second, increasing clear times accordingly.7365350e40e91e25

After thinking that far, ceffd9757d Jehyun sighed in irritation 8cfe4fcff1 and typed again.2df83989a60d012a

[Party] Healer: Come to think of it, leaving the guild might be too much

[Party] Healer: Can’t break up brothers

[Party] Sangjae: We’re already broken up as much as possible

[Party] Healer: Please be quiet

[Party] Healer: If I win you take a vow of silence

[Party] Habaek: Vow of silence?

Standing up and looking 63041ea653 in the mirror, there 275743c6a5 was a fierce-looking man 89b2be67cf inside. His small face visible 495570f77b under the deeply worn 060e3af2a6 cap was smooth enough e9d310e7ae to be considered objectively 4d4b483464 handsome, but perhaps due 3e82c67c97 to his sharp, upturned adeb12dfb5 eyes giving him a 38cf540bfe fierce impression, most people 0f9fc42117 only realized his good a9801be46d looks later.80d6e53a6286f22f

Moreover, his small ears had so many piercings, making Shin Jehyun’s impression even more delinquent-like. It wasn’t the kind of appearance that would make people want to approach easily.

He agreed to 1561910932 meet Habaek at 8ee3d43139 the back gate.

If that was true, 4cd4de2ce0 Jehyun needed to run 3881204b22 away immediately. It was better 2de05dabc8 not to associate a0d65d6267 with such a 351c8d37db crazy person.c5bc33ffeaed7451

However, even if 2d468a9da7 Habaek was truly 493913a9fb insane, he needed 1285adffd0 to settle things e27b7efbbf with him. For the sake 8aa57dd4cd of a smooth f21c6f4edd gaming life after 2e91154551 the server merge, 8e278e8842 it was necessary 3192001e57 to discipline this cbe57eb42e annoying guy once.9de30777338f66be

While going f85b505ec8 down to 1fe3ec5aa2 the first ddba726601 floor in c80bd81fbb the elevator, 3b2131e21d Jehyun spotted 7234165d8d a familiar be1afd826a face just bf96d7beb1 as he ec6b122e1d was imagining 860c4bb00d grabbing Habaek 357dbb21b2 by the 7cd12f7263 collar.

Maybe when they were 7b42136799 very young, but Ha f44b7e0953 Baekyung, who was already 367cc5e005 over 170cm tall in 89a12361a5 fourth grade, was always b822d4b33d treated as a premature 9285c9d6bd adult due to being 765f98bc09 bigger than their peers.853579c5955e8892

Even Ha Jaekyung, Baekyung’s older brother, would sooner push Baekyung forward when fights broke out due to their large size rather than try to protect them.4e42f8554e1c2ddd

It was truly a strange feeling. Extremely unfamiliar, and also ticklish… As Baekyung was thinking about that day, Ha Jaekyung suddenly asked:e661a53839c7e975

“Hey, so did you meet the healer or not? Noona said you didn’t show up at the meeting place?”3075715c6d3580a8

“I really did go. The healer didn’t come, I’m telling you.”b916fb263547f7db

The ridiculous accusation was irritating. Baekyung ignored Ha Jaekyung’s comments about their attitude and got up to open the refrigerator. They grabbed a zero cola and went straight to their room.53b9f5f0bd50b605

While waiting for d08e0e630e the computer to 8859c79f0a boot up, Baekyung e4532cee4a frowned, remembering the 6edc56c0b3 person who was 4ae3b4b926 with them that b3695bd966 night. Shin Jehyun, a 5178a80219 sunbae who strangely f42f729c83 kept occupying their f290b7fb0b thoughts.19fdb02c31454277

They had ad6efd26cc been conscious 7a1ad57165 of Shin 079b61bdcf Jehyun since 6c8f386708 the orientation. At first, they 9aaa66ed1a were drawn to 8cd9b8c735 his intimidating first e088838038 impression. But as ee6a78a840 they listened 18ffd878cd carefully, his 4b4b7aaf6b voice felt 1ab7041ab6 oddly familiar. They definitely seemed 7bfda2517b to have heard 3104d58d21 it somewhere before.3c899c82f478192a

After orientation, while practicing party coordination for server integration, Baekyung received guidance from the healer through voice chat. That’s when they realized why Shin Jehyun’s voice felt familiar despite never having met him before. Though their speaking styles were completely different, their voices were very similar.323e897af9e958e5

Then, when c04e5ae3ff they happened a320859afc to meet 664e8f08d3 him at b58c54492e a bar c9420f29c0 with their 8487257802 classmates, Baekyung 2ba4d0aab2 tested him, 164a25ad0d suspecting that 8fd76ce10f Shin Jehyun 9fe3a6b2af might really 00e4c5e4e2 be Healer. Shin Jehyun showed suspicious ed40343d41 reactions. When told he looked 39f2f3a996 good at gaming, he 18bc24810d countered by saying Baekyung 6358a5a97f looked like a gaming b64fa62b0f addict, and then when f11db78482 Baekyung continued, he pretended 296190395e to defend Caplet, fueling 540f8094c4 their suspicions.bb6d080207673c7b

When the topic of meeting in person came up, Baekyung deliberately chose Korea University’s back gate as the meeting place, conscious of Shin Jehyun who had said he lived nearby. So when they met him in the elevator, Baekyung was a bit flustered. If Shin Jehyun was really the healer, the timing to reveal that they were Habaek had become awkwardly off.dab4446fcb9b720e
