Conversely, it could be that I really have an eye problem, so I sat down.

There was nothing good about stabbing someone in a painful area.

“I want to smoke a cigarette while I’m out. Do you spread the sea bream?”

“No, I don’t smoke. Shall I follow you?”

“Someone has to keep their seats! I’ll come and go!”

Having said that, Naek immediately went out to smoke.

This guy’s tension wasn’t that different in games or online.

“That guy.”

At that moment, Baeksan responded to see if he remembered something.

“Why are you still my ex-girlfriend?”

When I asked as a joke, Baeksan had a subtle expression on her face.

I was puzzled by the look on his face, Baeksan touched his chin for a moment and then said.

“I remember him as a bit of a unique guy.”

“What if it’s unique?”

“He was just a guy who showed up out of nowhere and went to help.”

what. that is.

“No, even better than that.”

“Probably a returnee.”

I blinked my eyes.

And then my expression began to change subtly along the mountain.

It is only a coincidence that there are returnees in the guild I created once or twice.

Ayu, Seolhyang, Kkotbi, and then Naek are also returning?

If this is a coincidence, then it is inevitable.

“… … Baeksan, am I the only one who thinks this situation is strange right now?”

“I was just thinking it was weird.”

“It’s like being around me… … .”

“Yeah, it’s like someone is planting a returnee on purpose.”

Hearing Baeksan’s words, I fell into thoughts.

A lot of non-ideal returnees around me.

It made no sense because the situation was too strange to be a coincidence.

Feeling a little creepy, I looked at Baeksan and asked.

“… … Shall I ask Seolhyang to do an investigation about it?”

Seolhyang is, of course, the most specialized in relation to returnees.

When I asked if she could figure out something, Baeksan seemed to be worried about this too.

“… … I don’t think it’s a bad choice.”

“If someone has purposely gathered returnees around me, what is the purpose?”

If it was intentional, there must be a reason for doing this.

As for me, no matter how much I thought about it, there was no answer, so as I was rotting my head, Baeksan slowly began to raise her head.

“… … Ha-chan Kang, did you know that there are several world lines in the world?”

“Are you referring to the parallel world that Shiho was talking about?”

“Yeah, you can say it’s similar.”

parallel world.

A parallel world is one that creates endless branches with just one action.

“Let’s see if someone took a peek at the broken world line, and among them, there is the world line that we most want.”

Then, Baeksan slowly started explaining with a painful expression on his face.

“What should I do to get to the world line that he most desires?”

“Yeah, we should go in the same direction.”

“Yeah, but the problem is that by the time I found out, a lot of time has already passed, and I assume that to get to that world line, you need to adjust the current world to fit the world line.”

“Then you need a puzzle to force the coordination, and that’s it.”

“I think it is you.”

Baeksan’s eyes stared at me silently.

As soon as I met him, I put on a confused expression.

“… … What do I say?”

“You can tell just by looking at the guys who have gathered around you right now. What kind of puzzle are you?”

I pursed my lips for a moment.

Then, he made a face that he didn’t understand.

“Isn’t that supposed to be a home?”

“Yeah, it’s home.”

“But isn’t it because Baeksan had something to do with you making this assumption?”

Hearing my question, Baeksan gently brushed his forehead.

“Yeah, as you said. In the present world, there is a guy who can get a glimpse of all that world line.”

“Then maybe that person.”

“That’s why I don’t understand.”

Who the hell are you doing that?

“Dommy? What are you thinking about so seriously?”

At that moment, Naek, who had finished smoking, came back at some point.

I couldn’t see him talking to Baeksan, so when I glanced towards Baeksan, he nodded.

I mean, I’ll talk to you later.

“Hey, it’s better to see the bream’s face than that! you look pretty damn good You look good and are you working out?”

“It’s fine these days. Thank you for your words.”

“Thank you, haven’t you heard that people around you look good?”

“I’ve never heard of it in my life.”

“Eh, gourd?”

When Naek made a strange expression on my face, I laughed out loud.

“That’s because there was a time when my relationships were a bit smashed. I’m not good at self-objectification.”

It wasn’t until middle school and high school that I didn’t have the money to go to an academy, so I only studied on my own to go to university.

When I entered university, I only studied for a part-time job and a scholarship due to tuition and living expenses.

So, my relationships were all messed up until I was in middle school, high school, and college.

“Who is left to do anything to someone who can’t return anything no matter how much they do?”

At first, when I first heard that it was a full scholarship, there were people who came to me saying that it was great, but I naturally moved away from them because I did not have time to interact with them.

So I couldn’t objectify myself.

It is probably because of these things that Baeksan is not paying attention.

Because my relationships were only about death feelings that I found out in the games I used to play occasionally.

“But lately, things have changed a bit. Funny enough, it was because of the game.”

Because it’s true that I learned how to build relationships again in the game.

The reason I am here today was also thanks to those five years.

“The problem is, I almost went to the afterlife while playing that game.”

“Oh, I heard. You said you didn’t have the money to pay the rent?”

“I drank the part-time job I was doing occasionally and threw it into a coin.”

“Wow, I should have seen it myself.”

As Naek laughed and giggled, I also smirked.

If it hadn’t been for Kwak Sa-yeon’s curse, I wouldn’t have gotten that far, but I wasn’t normal at the time.

“Come on then, let’s have a drink to forget about that time!”

“Yes.”

I took a glass of soju from Naek and drank it.

“Drink it cold!”

“By the way, it’s been a while since I’ve had a drink.”

“Huh? Didn’t you say that you work for the Hunter company these days? Don’t you have a dinner party?”

“Ah, the team I’m on is both still in high school, so there’s virtually no drinking party.”

Before that, I had to recover from running around every day, so I couldn’t even talk about alcohol or anything.

“Holly, you are a minor. I’ll be dazzling Are you all handsome?”

“They are both girls.”

“Hey, high school girl!”

She covered her mouth in surprise.

Then he asked with an uncle-like smile.

“This is this, Domi-san, aren’t you so happy? you’re a high school girl They are the most passionate and energetic kids.”

“From an adult perspective, they’re just kids. What nonsense are you talking about?”

“No, though. There was a time when I was also a high school girl, so I don’t know the feelings of children at that time?”

I said it was good back then, and Naek raised a soju glass, so I filled it up and gave a toast to it.

“Ugh, that’s why kids back then are so sensitive to romantic feelings. Especially with older people and adults, they tend to have fantasies.”

“When you become an adult, not much has changed.”

“You didn’t know back then, did you? Anyway, that’s why when I say I’m dating my college brother, there’s an uproar among the kids. Everyone comes in and asks about everything.”

On the other hand, I thought from a man’s point of view.

If you have a high school friend like me, and he’s dating a college girl sister… … .

“It seems like it would.”

There must be something about that guy that looks great and must be.

In reality, the college girl’s older sister might not be normal, though.

“So, everyone said that the age at which they had the most fantasies was the age they had the most fantasies about. That’s a happy-looking older brother! have? I don’t like it and I can’t let it go.”

“Are you 26 years old?”

“Then what are they called?”

I was silent.

I don’t know Shiho, but the author was calling me oppa.

“Keuk, besides, I know the character of the bream very well. He has a kindness and a sense of responsibility, so he tries to do more and listens well, and he has a very attractive personality.”

“It’s not like I’m treating anyone else as a nine-tailed fox.”

“Very foxy. fox.”

I can’t keep up with this guy’s tension every time.

“Come on, so the bottom line is that it’s too good a situation for one of those girls to feel that way.”

“It is a crime to touch a minor.”

“Crime is a crime, and the mind is the mind. Dom, I don’t know what you’re like, but they’re different, right? By the way, what year are you both in high school?”

“… … 3rd year.”

“what. After 3 months, you are an adult. I’m done. Do any of them like you? To be honest, you can’t see what you see from an adult’s eyes.”

Is this guy really a mind reader?

As I drank my beer while avoiding my eyes, Naek started clapping and laughing.

“Hey, our bream! You are loved by high school girls! crazy it’s crazy!”

“Hey, lower your voice! Everyone looks weird!”

“But it is true. So which of those two are you? Which of the two blue-eyed high school girls who will be an adult in 3 months!”

I was silent again.

I couldn’t quite say it was both.

Because, in all likelihood, I was going to play around with this all day long.

“Miss, am I the only one at the hearing? what do you have You’re an active college student.”

“me? I.”

And Naek began to laugh silently.

“No.”

“No?”

“No, no. just.”

I set the glass.

“sorry.”

“Shut up, be careful if you don’t want to be my boyfriend.”

“okay.”

I decided to be careful.

“So, is there anything else?”

Something else.

A lot.

I’m just contemplating whether I should say this or not.

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Naek is an active college student female.

To be honest, Baeksan’s advice didn’t help at all, so I was curious about her opinion.

‘then.’

I don’t think it’s okay to ask enough to get some advice, even if I don’t say everything.

“I have one thing I’m worried about, can I ask?”

“Oh, what is what?”

As Naek’s eyes twinkled, I slowly turned the story around and started speaking.

“There are some people who are a bit difficult to date under the circumstances.”

“Like the relationship between Ha-chan and those high school girls?”

“That’s okay, and anyway, that person has someone by his side who likes him. That person thinks it’s right to settle this matter and do something like a relationship, but it’s honestly disrespectful to the other person.”

“It is not. You could be treated like playing with your heart.”

“Yeah, so that person is thinking about what to do.”

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Naek, who was silently listening to my story, put a cookie in her mouth and muttered,

“So does that person like someone who likes him?”

“I guess that’s, maybe, not yet.”

“At least it’s not that I don’t like it.”

“right. It’s not that he doesn’t want to be in a relationship.”

“Hmm, actually, I think the story will come to a different conclusion for each person.”

Then Naek raised a glass of wine.

“Honestly, if it were me, I would just date him. Are you saying that at least there are rational feelings? The person who likes that person in the first place must know the circumstances of that person and like him. won’t you understand And if that doesn’t work, then we break up.”

She shrugged as if it didn’t have to be difficult.

Certainly that conclusion is correct.

The problem is that the word “destruction” that Baeksan spoke of is related there.

“It’s me who takes it lightly, but I won’t say it’s an easy matter. There is no right answer in human relationships.”

“You speak as if you’ve lived your entire life.”

“Heh, it’s because you haven’t lived my life. I am the one who has personally experienced the end of the complexity of human relationships.”

I don’t know what I’ve been through, but I thought so.

Meanwhile, food was served in front of us.

They were just snacks with soup and meat.

“Aren’t Eva sisters later than that? When are you coming?”

“I wonder if he will come soon.”

At that moment, Naek’s cell phone started ringing just in time.

The reason I made this place was because it was Naek, so I called Nana, Eva noona, or her to come.

“Oh, come. I’m here.”

Taken from n̲o̲b̲l̲e̲m̲t̲l̲.̲c̲o̲m̲

Naek raised her phone with an excited expression on her face.

She poked her head over the chair.
