“If I had just quit, this wouldn’t have happened.”3058bedf4a908242

Hyunwoo muttered as he looked around the guild room. Although it wasn’t his first time there, scanning his surroundings had become a recent habit.6aaeaf9c70e3cac8

Even though there e8cda81221 was no sign 67d3dd3e79 of anyone else, 86b19c51da Hyunwoo took each 6f0449c747 step cautiously. His large frame looked 9dc29b1d33 anything but threatening; his 077d980ec7 movements were closer to c0a27e811f pathetic than cautious.e9b321a9891782ff

After making a full cd3ba4b695 circle around the spacious a66b5b75f2 guild room to confirm 5e5484922e that no one was 8df50263a0 there, Hyunwoo finally displayed e2785fdb80 the friend list window 1cf5429187 with a more relaxed a2ab4b1762 expression.0bcff5f25bdfd380

Hyunwoo hummed a tune 5a8c20cb34 as he arrived at 358a6b37e9 the storage room, where 7b3b7bc861 a gleaming door appeared 0140508b46 before him.15e9a3d853c791ff

Just as he was bfcd8e0ba2 about to pull the 8467911bb8 doorknob of the storage 93e10d0e04 room, Hyunwoo caught sight 8ece83e96e of his reflection on 231aef4516 the smooth surface and 6658deae88 suddenly thought of a 0acac8638f question.0a8a3c43533aa6c4

After sitting in the same position for a while, Hyunwoo suddenly lifted his head. Staying like this wouldn’t solve anything. Hyunwoo shook his head, trying to ignore the recurring thoughts, and got up.15b8a5d77fa19f03

Entering the 7143b12ff2 storage room, 9ebdfcd265 Hyunwoo grabbed 635d5cac6f potions from 81977408cb a drawer 75298fa206 near the 40e1799022 door and 52f35f60d3 picked out b91c7bc22d buff items 3f0bb30c3a that would c9be80e923 be useful 24d5f600b2 in battle 8dbd19d5db from the d57dad4cc0 boxes stacked 9898af30dc neatly below e7a70f8f52 his waist.409e93bec5abe95a

Hyunwoo, who joined the 6116c86b89 guild following Jujumeeting, Han ff7d9b53c0 Jiwoo, liked ‘Jooin’ from 57fef6fe11 the beginning, who had f271425cb5 joined a little earlier. He liked that he e64e229bf5 could conceptually duo with 98ef1a4e13 him since his nickname f3b140f44e had ‘slave’ in it, 8a13bdba21 and he was very 1ec6f18425 satisfied that Jooin was 1822c0dca2 a support class, not bcec41f43f a tank or dealer.8b916a9d6651273d

What he liked 02689995c4 the most was b1a39df58e Jooin’s appearance. Then and now, 30ba85ed80 Jooin in the 059d013bdb game exuded a 7fd419bf8b calm, model student b2abcebb67 vibe.

Perhaps that was why. Hyunwoo, a born insider c4eb050035 who had never been c61934b1ff anything other than a cc5cb502a7 class officer for a 77ae760272 total of 12 years, 7a6cdfb26a found Jooin impossible to 43cf0ecf0c ignore.b21154ce4a1d3630
