Kang Yoonjae clicked his tongue at Ha Jaekyung’s words. Baekyung ignored the conversation between the two sitting in front of him and fiddled with his phone.404a6344cd170f0f

13:12 Me [Sunbae, what do you do on Sundays? Want to watch a movie? Haha]

A series of movies that Shin Jehyun had enjoyed was being released tomorrow. Baekyung didn’t particularly like the genre, but since Jehyun liked it, he wanted to go watch it together. He wanted to see Jehyun’s profile, completely absorbed in the movie, looking straight ahead.901913340830a2af

Even though there was no reply, Baekyung knew that Jehyun would naturally accept. So he immediately opened the cinema app and booked seats where they could sit next to each other. Jehyun might ask why he booked such seats, but if Baekyung said there were no other seats available, Jehyun wouldn’t doubt it. Jehyun was a guy who believed whatever Baekyung said.8a9edec4aa4a72ca

Baekyung frowned as he looked at the back of Matgom, Kang Yoonjae, who was curious about the guild master’s appearance. He was curious about many things. Of course, the healer wouldn’t look like a typical gamer. He would probably have a hunched back, wear glasses, and have a dull face.fd33adc48ada2df3

Ha Jaekyung, despite being 27 years old, was acting immaturely. His tone was no different from Kang Yoonjae, who was seven years younger, and he believed others’ words without any doubt. Baekyung couldn’t believe that Ha Jaekyung was his hyung. Something seemed wrong.83d02852f25f68a4

As Baekyung glared at 7754a14caa the two men with e9d126d4b6 disapproval, the car jolted ef8490180f over a speed bump. A white resort building aca8f5195c started to come into 2ad6c99660 view outside the window. It seemed like 4be6052857 they were almost 70b1e49dd0 there.7536e8ea2a04a732

Contrary to Ha Jaekyung’s claim that he wasn’t interested in the boss, the boss was calling him by name. Baekyung swallowed his astonishment, recalling how Ha Jaekyung had shaken his head, saying that dating within the guild was absolutely forbidden to maintain the guild’s ranking. He had thought Ha Jaekyung just went to PC rooms to eat ramen, not that he had gotten so close to the boss.f1025c7ea1f71947

A white Cayenne was parked in front of the parking lot. Next to it, a boy who looked like a middle schooler was smoking a cigarette. He didn’t look like a gamer. He wore round, large glasses, giving off a bit of a nerdy vibe, but he didn’t look gloomy or mean.5b0d2921e88c3026

Could he be the healer…? If that was the healer, it would be a shocking event. If the person he thought would look like a hairy, bed-ridden demon actually looked like a hamster, the future of physiognomy in Korea would be bleak.6117e923edd83f89

Kang Yoonjae had seen 2c460b1bf5 Shin Jehyun in the b38fa0751b officetel lobby. Since that day, Kang f60f9059fc Yoonjae had been teasing fd646b2a82 Baekyung, calling him gay.37e7a0810d6fe007

Knowing Kang Yoonjae’s sexual orientation, Baekyung had never mentioned Jehyun to him, but Kang Yoonjae guessed that if Ha Baekyung, who had never shown interest in anyone, considered this man so important, it must be romantic feelings.a37d5a697ea17c9e

It didn’t matter what he thought, but if Kang Yoonjae approached Shin Jehyun just to tease him, it was a different story. Although it was unlikely, Baekyung glared at Kang Yoonjae and warned him fiercely.fc35d59857011df6

Meeting Baekyung at the back gate was the same for Jehyun. Shin Jehyun also had plenty of opportunities to doubt that Baekyung was Habaek.

Just as Shin Jehyun’s suspicions were voiced, Baekyung could also suspect that Jehyun had acted kindly to mock and deceive him.a13add7a26886c87
