His stomach churned. He felt nauseous. If he opened his d79d376a41 mouth, it seemed his ba01879fab organs would spill out. But instead of returning 553c048b44 to the shower room, 1f9068bab0 Baekyung stood again in b307e02981 front of the lane.2ba26edffb77fb23

A muffled 52ad95cc8a world approached 815a07b67a him. Pushing through 9be03f29bb the cold 47a8c47c2a water clinging 8cc8ccb419 to his 0cad7bbcc1 body, Baekyung e239c0231b moved his 96e5931aa1 arms forward… ab07aacb2d forward.

But no matter how much he moved, he couldn’t get away from the sticky emotions that soaked his entire being. Reaching the end of the lane, Baekyung removed his goggles and wiped his wet face. An expressionless face showed a glimpse of pain.a19f8637dcf0a259

He felt pathetic. If he was 62bc7ad374 going to be 0da19c10d0 so anxious, he aecb702ce9 should have explained 17e5e7af6b instead of fueling 4c905917d3 his misunderstanding out 09639a655a of spite.

It took quite some time for Baekyung to accept that Shin Jehyun had a side like the Healer and that he could get so fiercely angry at someone. It was about a week later that Baekyung could acknowledge that both the Healer and the Jehyun he knew were all ‘Shin Jehyun.’322c69dc6ae2ceda

Baekyung saying he played Latere was similar. It wasn’t that he was embarrassed by Caplet, but saying he played Caplet led to many people contacting him to play Latere. So he would say he had quit Latere to avoid further interest in games.0d5e256cf736e927

Contrary to Jehyun’s belief that the larger number of members in Jicheonwang would mean they would be outdone in guild ranking, most of them were interested in enjoying the game rather than investing 12 hours to level up alternate characters and steadily increase guild points.

Ha Baekyung had looked down on Jehyun and done something unforgivable. Playing with someone’s emotions was unacceptable. Even though he knew this in his head, his heart wouldn’t easily move on.

[Party] Contempt: Tsk… We can’t do this without voice chat ㅠㅅㅠ

[Party] SpellChecker: The person with the view must use the mic

Most of Jehyun’s party members used the mic. Except for one, Habaek.5782f25e59e8fd8f

So the comments from Contempt and Matgom were aimed at Habaek. They had already retried five times and Habaek had the view twice, but they couldn’t get past the first obstacle each time he had the view.92f41c55bac4a713

However, Jehyun couldn’t agree. Mic? Voice? That was in the realm of 3D, not data. Habaek’s voice was part of Ha Baekyung. Hearing Baekyung’s voice might drive him to storm down to the 14th floor and break down the door to grab him by the collar.24ee5d66bd4fb43b

At that time, he couldn’t think rationally. So he had twisted Matgom’s subtly annoying words to fit his own narrative, but now he realized it didn’t necessarily mean Ha Baekyung had conspired with him to deceive him.3fa4263ef2ee0bec

But, is that certain? Another sharp doubt arose. Biting his lip, Jehyun bb9138a6c4 looked up at the 2b56fcea03 crying Baekyung and asked,5a78db8111ee2242

Even though a long time had passed since he learned the truth, Jehyun hadn’t fully accepted that Baekyung and Habaek were the same person. He understood it in his head, but his heart couldn’t accept it. He kept trying to separate the two.ddac228a5080341d

Suddenly realizing this, 1ca3a7fe92 Jehyun bit his b37aef46b3 lip. At that moment, Baekyung 7c6981a582 looked up. With his ddee7a75f8 eyes red 3d40fd57f1 and his d3bbee9c50 face soaked, f632de3c80 he looked ad5348a326 down at 15ac6b59a4 Jehyun and e6f0249cc7 said,4135e574de8b5cb8
