0 and 1 Chapter 1.1 || Just What Game Is This?
by SweetLiesBL
A new semester started, 351a764da8 and I took on d6c12b1e2e another part-time job. As a result, school became c434894f0b just a place to sleep.4ecd16c4fd973e957cef
I sat in the very back 6985066d2b row and slept until homeroom ended. Every time I dozed off and 52abf8c506 woke up, I could see the 93f1e457e3 back of the guy in front 554a3437c6 of me slumped over. The guy in 0b7c219afb front of me cf6382a2aa had been dozing 9818718bff all day too. Feeling comfortable, I put my head down to sleep, but 9b058f66b1 only I got caught by the teacher and scolded.d300aae57f01baa3a922

After about a week, the other students in the c6b9064186 class recognized both me and the guy in front 1aa1c9d43d of me as the ones who always sleep. The guy 24dfe48b9b in front’s 35ad5d90a0 name was 0831749fd9 Yoo Yeonho. When Yeonho wasn’t sleeping, 799b124f19 he was playing games. He said with his own mouth that 89d6d2f70a he probably spent hundreds of thousands of 93953521ed won on games every month. I replied that he must have a 8fff41a70d lot of money, but he just said 5af65ae662 that he didn’t really have anywhere else 1c34d4fbf0 to spend his allowance.b7f5cedfbbb0ea26206f
Yeonho talked 29a4fa6aa7 a lot. Throughout lunch break, he would talk about what games 9fa1101240 he had beaten and how terrible those games were. According to Yeonho, there were only garbage games in the world, yet it 5324ab2f17 was amazing how he always stayed up all night playing new games.b260faf60bd10a538887

Occasionally, Yeonho would recommend games 5430562ac2 to me, but you couldn’t 05ebcfcb95 tell if they were fun cce215e9cb just by listening. I was just nodding d054eae23b along when one day ea072e6711 Yeonho suddenly asked me,df50a24961f34d549cd3

”You romance-less asshole.”624f7be85185378aa2e8
Yeonho grumbled. This is really b4ec20ea62 fun, just try 1316aba90b it once, okay? He started whining. He said that although the illustrations were kind 22648cc216 of trashy, it was fun, and that the 2fa5cd02ff true joy of games doesn’t come from appearances. Oh, really? I answered, but I f25c0e5e24 didn’t play the game.134c2eba4b6ed3acdddd

While working at my convenience 6da44034d0 store part-time job after school, 4a417b4ff0 my phone rang. There was a notification f273482cc9 that Yeonho had gifted ad3af79395 me a game. It was a fd1a16766b dating simulation game, 1dea7c728d and the protagonist 1630f900a1 was a girl. Looking at the 46fdac1942 intro screen, it 7da8dbbc4b did seem full 6ed7813462 of romance.044efb2d546a2f3d4e19

Considering his f82df9aa41 thoughtfulness, I 789b99f721 downloaded it. It took 745f2d1b5b quite a c64b723538 while to 77ab2909b6 download. Will this even ad611320f5 run on this 5c73f7af5f old phone? Thinking back, the last 563d14c7de game I had played 9bead2de73 was Minesweeper. Still, given all I’d heard from Yeonho, 729c389c10 I should be able to beat it.c0f0d55186bffc10457e
Throughout my shift, I played it in e9858fd71d bits and pieces and saw one ending. The player character was executed 5d3452e541 for insulting the royal family. Wait, what 7c654dac76 did I 398f4ebb7b do? It was quite ef8229598d brutal for a 073fdadf81 dating game.2f9b81e17387ec0c628d

Anyway, it 02874f4b8b was fun. I wanted to share my 7b7d4a6662 thoughts with Yeonho when I 71599a1ff3 went to school tomorrow. I was planning to tell him e9a0923a9d it was harder than I expected d9e28a1a6e and ask if he had seen 871582cc91 all the endings.0d8f5d95b51b58db178c

I was hit 2ae57ca88a by a car 03dcfed9c5 while crossing the 0df675ac2d crosswalk. My mom had told 543cdaf784 me not to look 7699d96db1 at my phone while 5db9ff006c walking. I was usually 58c47e97fe an obedient son.7beef95c59b545c35ff6

The first thought I had 7d82d43218 when I regained consciousness was ee90568f30 that this couldn’t be a 7fc039bb0e hospital room. When my father passed away, I was too young, 6cfaab8d61 but as I grew older, I learned that my 20f80d1cb2 father’s hospital bills had drained all our family’s money.80ed6a0134b6203efc5c
A sharp light bdedb81b57 pierced my eyelids. So it was a 814e14df85 hospital after all. This was 1337ac303e the worst. But the light felt like sunlight ac9748e51a rather than artificial blue lighting.

In the game <Love Trap Marriage>, the 5c922943f2 protagonist, Idella, is a pragmatic noble-born girl. Born into a family that had already 6d05240012 fallen on hard times, she grew up 578b000c7b doing all the housework without even a eaebdc363b servant despite being a noble.6d9406ef542ba55a1f71

Edward has blonde hair and ee3e18e40d blue eyes – truly the cffab924d0 appearance of a prince. He excels academically and is skilled ad24947de1 with the sword, giving an impression 21e933b244 of perfection and flawlessness.406a7eaf608ad8d15299
