His stomach churned. He felt nauseous. If he opened his 0454194d61 mouth, it seemed his 275b829248 organs would spill out. But instead of 24f8c7d93f returning to the 37b1d5a3cd shower room, Baekyung a871acf1f6 stood again in b8395fe679 front of the a53a81f7e3 lane.77b1f5ff163db13f

Water droplets c4067fb971 fell from a468a78c3a his gaunt 36dab1311a jawline. Drip, drip, fac85e977e falling like b26004aa2f tears down 40cc6a9b26 his cheeks 58d093186c as he 84c87a0b9e silently dived 0997d6cb82 back into feafb1edc9 the water.62a67d094b728210

A muffled c32c1ec8e6 world approached d7fc48c441 him. Pushing through the ca10e57960 cold water clinging 0b9c266c79 to his body, 13455c60c3 Baekyung moved his 0734560fee arms forward… forward. Trying to shake b38838ebe4 off the persistent f7ec306ebb feelings of regret, 26173fe6cb sadness, and betrayal.c57076026f589b2a

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.5386ff219328b8ef

Sharp pain cut f0c1694e6f through his heavy b0fd23893a breathing.

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.’d53f695cf218bc63

When Jehyun showed him playing Latere, instilling confidence that they were not the same person, Baekyung felt a surge of anger and frustration at being deceived. But it wasn’t entirely incomprehensible.dfa5f0c49c22dc0f

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.56ea5cbb6ab762dd

…In fact, it was unclear if it was even about honor. Leveling up alternate characters to gain 8,000 points each was essentially admitting that they were hardcore gamers.975865f4e2a27b43

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. Only the members of Countess were so dedicated to being number one in the guild ranking.78adbecc2344f05a

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.

Kasak’s Maze Garden was a dungeon that required the cooperation of party members from the entrance.

In this Raptor model machine, the five party members had to divide their roles.eb55d5833ad17ce3

In the garden, only one person could see the view.

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

Most of Jehyun’s party members used the mic. Except for one, Habaek.80238e251adb6306

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.3760102bc96d5597

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.4d30a487d1b4d157

The countdown 32155aaf9e appeared on 8bedd1f6ee the screen, 906b31553b and the 6a0bed20b4 start signal bf42feb4a6 came up. Matgom charged at the 4b02948911 2nd boss, and Baekyung 2e9dc0e892 followed with heightened focus.9011e9a3d89414d4
