He Is That Guy

Once the situation turned like that, CottonCandyFox’s chat frequency dropped drastically.
In contrast, ImSoSleepy’s mood was climbing an upward curve with every passing minute.
[Party] ImSoSleepy: Fox is really good at the gameㅎㅎ
[Party] ImSoSleepy: Oppa likes girls who are good at gamesㅋ

[Party] ImSoSleepy: Fox, you not doing Discord?^^
[Party] ImSoSleepy: Wanna hop on Discord with oppa?
[Party] CottonCandyFox: ㅎㅎmaybe later..

[Party] ImSoSleepy: Later?
[Party] ImSoSleepy: Later when?
[Party] ImSoSleepy: Let’s just do it nowㅋㅋ

[Party] ImSoSleepy: I’m curious about your voiceㅎㅎ
[Party] CottonCandyFox: ㅜㅡㅜ...
[Party] ImSoSleepy: We’re gonna keep raiding anyway

[Party] ImSoSleepy: We gotta Discord eventually
[Party] ImSoSleepy: Right, guys?
[Party] HoneybeeBzzz: Ah;; I don’t have a mic tho..

It was five minutes before complete disaster.
All the guild members wedged between CottonCandyFox and ImSoSleepy could do was pray today’s raid would end fast.
 
Finishing his flashback, ParkSeungjin99 added to the chat.

[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: At least today
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: Sleepy-hyung’s working his part-time so he’s late, that’s why his main’s logged in
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: When Sleepy-hyung gets here later
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: We’re getting dragged back into hellㅠㅠ

[Guild] MochaBbang: Fr I feel like I’m gonna die..
[Guild] ManaIsDryGuy: He keeps asking to do Discord
[Guild] ManaIsDryGuy: Every time it happens I feel like I’m losing my mind

[Guild] Let’sTripleJump: I got no excuses left ffsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
Besides MochaBbang, who already used the classic “no mic” excuse, the others were basically out of things to say.
[Guild] Let’sTripleJump: After we clear Keyrunt Dungeon, we’re supposed to Discord anyway

[Guild] Let’sTripleJump: We cleared Hard yesterday
[Guild] Let’sTripleJump: Only Hell left nowㅠㅠ
[Guild] Haerun: Damn challenging Keyrunt Hell in 3 days?

[Guild] Haerun: Sleepy-hyung’s insane ㄷㄷ
[Guild] MeLostInHunt: Shouldn’t we reel him in
[Guild] MeLostInHunt: Convince him to join the guild properly?

[Guild] MeLostInHunt: He’s so damn tempting
[Guild] TheHunter: ㅁㅈ They say no one even knows his voice since he avoids Discord
[Guild] DrinkWaterPlz: But am I the only one who doesn’t get Yoo Chae

[Guild] DrinkWaterPlz: With reactions like that
[Guild] DrinkWaterPlz: Shouldn’t he be happy? Why’s he so pissed
[Guild] DrinkWaterPlz: He’s totally into CottonCandyFox though

[Guild] SpicyCrabPlz: Guess he caught feelings ㄷㄷ
[Guild] MochaBbang: And so what if he didㅋㅋ
[Guild] MochaBbang: Guild master’s not even a real chick, ffs

[Guild] Hwaseoun: If he was a girl, the moment they hopped on Discord it'd be flirting centralㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] TheHunter: Frㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] TheHunter: Would’ve been hilarious but welpㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] TakeItIt’sFree: Never thought Sleepy-hyung was
[Guild] TakeItIt’sFree: The type to simp this hard for girlsㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Haerun: Even his grudge against guild master

[Guild] Haerun: Guess it’s cause he’s a dudeㅠㅠ
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: Guys kinda ruin it yeah~
[Guild] SpicyCrabPlz: If she was a real chick they would've made up easy

[Guild] SpicyCrabPlz: They’d be lovey-dovey right now
[Guild] DrinkWaterPlz: Yeah, plus I
[Guild] DrinkWaterPlz: Wouldn’t have to run around recruiting newbiesㅡㅡ

[Guild] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋ
[Guild] DrinkWaterPlz: ?
[Guild] Haerun: Oh massacre must be over

[Guild] Haerun: Wait a fckin sec

[Guild] TheHunter: ?? Wtf
[Guild] Hwaseoun: Holy shit
[Guild] Hwaseoun: Why my contributionㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

Guild contribution was an automatic score that accumulated over time.
It determined monthly affiliation perks and event rewards.
And now? All gone.
Realizing what just happened, guild members grabbed the backs of their necks as panic flooded the chat.
[Guild] DrinkWaterPlz: I’m dying of laughter fuckㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] TakeItIt’sFree: Hey guild master
[Guild] TakeItIt’sFree: Come on;; ah;;
[Guild] Let’sTripleJump: That karma hit hardㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] ManaIsDryGuy: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] SpicyCrabPlz: Wait wait
[Guild] ProductOfCapitalism: That’s what you get for mouthing offㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

[Guild] TakeItIt’sFree: Fck I saved up 280 pointsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] Hwaseoun: DrinkWaterPlz!ㅠㅠㅠㅠ
[Guild] MochaBbang: DrinkWaterPlz!!!

[Guild] DrinkWaterPlz: Nah nah I’m not stepping in
They scrambled to the Vice Guild Master, the only other one who could reset contribution besides the guild master, but DrinkWaterPlz coldly shut them down.
[Guild] Haerun: ㅋㅋwhat are you guys doing

[Guild] Haerun: Kneel already
[Guild] TheHunter: Fr should’ve kneeled like me already ahㅋㅋ
[Guild] TakeItIt’sFree: I… acted rashly, guild master..

[Guild] SpicyCrabPlz: Just once… please forgive me, master
[Guild] Yoo Chae: ㅋㅋ
[Guild] Yoo Chae: If you say sorry three times

[Guild] Yoo Chae: I’ll restore it
[Guild] Haerun: I’m sorry!
[Guild] TheHunter: I’m sorry

[Guild] Hwaseoun: I’m sorryㅠㅠ
[Guild] Haerun: I’m sorry!
[Guild] SpicyCrabPlz: I’m sorry! I’m sorry! I’m sorry!

[Guild] TheHunter: I’m sorry
[Guild] MochaBbang: I’m sory
[Guild] TheHunter: I’m sorry

The moment Yoo Chae finished speaking, apology spam flooded the chat.
Yoo Chae counted them off one by one, then restored the wiped contributions.
[Guild] Yoo Chae: ㅇㅋ
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Restored

[Guild] SpicyCrabPlz: Whew;;;
[Guild] TheHunter: That was close as hell fr
[Guild] Hwaseoun: ?

[Guild] Hwaseoun: Hey guild master
[Guild] Hwaseoun: I think I’m missing 50 points
[Guild] Hwaseoun: Or am I imagining things

[Guild] Yoo Chae: That’s compensation for ruining my mood
[Guild] Let’sTripleJump: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] MochaBbang: ???

[Guild] TakeItIt’sFree: ?
[Guild] Yoo Chae: Got a problem?
[Guild] Hwaseoun: ㅎㅎnope no way oO(Fuckin psycho)

[Guild] DrinkWaterPlz: Ffsㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] TheHunter: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
[Guild] ParkSeungjin99: ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

 
After my part-time shift, I logged into Zenoris and checked the message waiting for me like clockwork.
[soeso: h2]

[soeso: You coming after work?]
[ImSoSleepy: Yeah]
[ImSoSleepy: You make it home alright?]

Kim Daeseok had been staying at his parents’ place in Daejeon for the past week.
He wouldn’t shut up in our high school group chat about how bored he was without his PC.
[soeso: Soon as I got home]
[soeso: I hugged my rig and criedㅋㅋ]

[soeso: Meeting her after a week, she was so beautiful]
[ImSoSleepy: You’re insane;]
[soeso: Anyway, what you doing now?]

[ImSoSleepy: Got a raid in a bit, waiting for that]
[soeso: Oh raid?]
[soeso: Random party?]

[ImSoSleepy: Nah regular party]
[soeso: What the hell, you can’t even join a guild]
[soeso: How’d you land a regular party ㄷㄷ]

I hesitated, then told him what happened with CottonCandyFox.
Just as expected, Kim Daeseok was hooked.
[soeso: Wait but]
[soeso: You sure that buffer’s really Yoo Chae?]

[ImSoSleepy: 90% sure yeah]
[ImSoSleepy: His every move’s the same]
[soeso: Damn…]

[soeso: If it’s really him that’s nutsㅋ]
[soeso: But if he’s not stealing your gear or anything]
[soeso: And it’s just a female character]

[soeso: I kinda get it]
[ImSoSleepy: ?]
[soeso: Buffer girls are meta]

[soeso: My buffer alt’s a chick too, I went hard on the looks]
[soeso: Wanna see?]
It made zero sense, but I had time to kill before the raid, so I told him to come.

Perfect timing to kill boredom.
I’ll chat with Daeseok, then head to the raid when the party’s here.
[soeso: k]
[soeso: Heading to Keyrunt Dungeon entrance]

[ImSoSleepy: Alright]
While I waited for Kim Daeseok, I started sorting my inventory.
Scrapped useless junk, neatly stacked materials for modifications.
About five minutes later, a cute character bolted toward me.
I shoved my inventory window to the right side of the screen.

[Global] AchuGachuItchu: hihi
[Global] ImSoSleepy: That username makes me sick;
Pink hair, pure white dress, angel wings—
Kim Daeseok’s alt winked at me through emote spam.

[Global] AchuGachuItchu: Got it from my Celtis noonas’ songㅎㅎ
[Global] ImSoSleepy: If Celtis noonas see that, they’ll ban you from the fan cafe ㄷㄷ
[Global] AchuGachuItchu: Fuck you bro

Still… both his main and alt—
No way this bastard’s actually out here pretending to be a netkama, right?
[Global] ImSoSleepy: You tell people you’re a dude at least?
[Global] ImSoSleepy: I’m seriously starting to suspect you now..

[Global] AchuGachuItchu: Tf you talking aboutㅡㅡ
[Global] AchuGachuItchu: What’s worse is guys playing guy chars even in-game
[Global] AchuGachuItchu: And real netkama needs god-tier talent

[Global] ImSoSleepy: True that
Seeing CottonCandyFox proved it—
Acting cute and flirty isn’t enough.
Even online, fooling people isn’t easy.
[Global] AchuGachuItchu: But me

[Global] AchuGachuItchu: If I wanted to, I could crush it
[Global] AchuGachuItchu: Wanna see?
[Global] ImSoSleepy: ㅋㅋㅋ

[Global] ImSoSleepy: Go ahead
[Global] AchuGachuItchu: Oppa Itchu wants this item~
[Global] AchuGachuItchu: Buy it for Itchu and I’ll give oppa a kiss ^3^

“…….”
Psycho bastard…
Well, considering his girl experience, makes sense.
I need to screenshot this for the group chat.
Time to update everyone on Kim Daeseok’s new cringe moment.
I spammed the screenshot key while typing.

[Global] ImSoSleepy: ㅋㅋㅋKeep going
[Global] AchuGachuItchu: Ayy Itchu’s shy~>ㅁ<
[Global] ImSoSleepy: More more

[Global] ImSoSleepy: Keep it upㄱㄱ
[Global] CottonCandyFox: Sleepy-oppa
[Global] ImSoSleepy: ?

[Global] AchuGachuItchu: ?
Oh f*ck.
I jumped, eyes wide. That username—
Caught [N O V E L I G H T] off guard, I closed the inventory window shoved to the corner.
There stood CottonCandyFox and the raid party members.

The inventory window had blocked the dungeon entrance—
I didn’t notice anyone coming.
God knows how much of the chat they saw.
[Global] WatDoUCongDoU: ㄷㄷ..

[Global] SuwonSpecialCity: ㄷㄷ...
[Global] CottonCandyFox: What are you doing?^^
