That voice sounded quite flustered.

‘What? How did he notice me?’

In the midst of the chaos, he wondered how the other had known he logged in, but then he saw Kwon Mi-eon’s character looking his way.

‘He saw me.’

It seemed he had appeared right in front of Miu, who was just about to move to different coordinates.

―Hyung, why are you here….

The voice was so bewildered that Mo Yeon-hu almost forgot to pretend he didn’t know 0momo0 was Mo Yeon-hu, and his lips instinctively pouted.

What;; Is it really that surprising that I’m here????

If it sounded like he was asking “Why are you here?” in return, would that make him too twisted? Mo Yeon-hu was about to type a chat as if questioning him.

―What’s this? I’ve never seen this person before, who is…? They’re in the voice room too.

Just then, a particularly standout male voice was heard. Simultaneously, a user named Pincette, with the arbiter class, peeked out from beside Miu. It was Mo Yeon-hu’s first time meeting them.

―Your level is low, so what are you doing there? Got some free time? Hey, I’ll give you the coordinates, so go gather some resources. We’re busy as hell, you should know to do this much even without an order….

Hearing the rapid-fire nagging in a voice exhausted by the long Siege Warfare, Mo Yeon-hu deleted the chat he had been about to send to Kwon Mi-eon.

‘Well, everyone is busy with the Siege Warfare, so I might look like I’m the only one just playing around.’

Yes, which coordinates should I go to

Just as Mo Yeon-hu was about to answer obediently.

―Your tone is annoying.

Kwon Mi-eon spoke abruptly. The voice was so cold that the voice room fell silent for a moment.

―…Wait, are you talking about my tone?

―Yes. Pincette’s tone.

Thinking that the slouching, arrogant way of speaking must have been quite irritating, Mo Yeon-hu wondered where he should move to.

―Momo doesn’t like that kind of tone.

…Why is my name coming up here?

Mo Yeon-hu, who had been trying to let it go as if it were someone else’s business, froze. In the sudden silence of the voice room, GoodLuck chimed in.

―Right. Pincette, this is your first time meeting Momo, right? It’s because Momo and Miu are close in many ways~.

―…Ah, you were friends! Yes! Miu! I’ll be careful!

Thanks to GoodLuck’s mediation, the startled Pincette answered hurriedly.

―I’m sorry!

Not only did the arrogant tone from a moment ago vanish, but they even used the interaction of bowing repeatedly, making Mo Yeon-hu wonder if he should tell them they didn’t have to go that far.

(Whisper) Miu: Momo

At that moment, a whisper flew in from Kwon Mi-eon.

(Whisper) Miu: Let’s talk for a bit.

As soon as he saw the chat, Mo Yeon-hu felt his heart suddenly drop.

‘What does he want to talk about?’

For some reason, he became scared. So he couldn’t answer easily and just stared blankly at the screen when, with a sudden ding, the surroundings went quiet. When he checked the voice room belatedly.

Number of Participants (2/2) (Private 2/2)

⦁Miu

⦁0momo0

Before he knew it, he had been brought into a new room with only the two of them.

‘What is this?’

I never entered this room! He was clearly just listening quietly in the raid room above, where the most people were!

―We have things to talk about.

And toward the flustered Mo Yeon-hu, Kwon Mi-eon urged the conversation.

―Yeon-hu Hyung.

Even calling him by his name.

‘What do I do.’

After hearing that, Mo Yeon-hu instinctively felt that he could no longer avoid it and needlessly fidgeted with his unconnected microphone.

He also wanted to talk to Kwon Mi-eon. He had come home intending to change his clothes and go out for that very reason, but it had been delayed because of the game.

‘But now that I’m actually about to talk, I don’t know how to start.’

Should he say that he has now recalled the memories of that day, and that he’s sorry for forgetting?

‘And I’ve wanted to confess that, at some point, I started caring about you, Kwon Mi-eon.’

But…. For a guy who was disgusted just imagining himself being linked to the other’s family, would it change just because he remembered those memories?

‘We both lost our tempers at the end… what if our relationship gets even worse.’

Above all, Mo Yeon-hu was afraid. Despite not being the type to obsess over human relationships, he was worried that talking to Kwon Mi-eon would lead to a worse outcome, so he couldn’t easily open his mouth.

―I did that because I was jealous that day.

Kwon Mi-eon was the one to speak first.

At the sudden mention of the word “jealousy,” a question mark appeared on Mo Yeon-hu’s face. Kwon Mi-eon was jealous? Of whom?

Mo Yeon-hu, who almost asked reflexively, froze at the following words.

―Because Hyung likes Kang Mi-yeong.

So, the reason Kwon Mi-eon got angry was…….

―Not me.

…Because he liked Kang Mi-yeong, not him?

‘Does Hyung really… like Kang Mi-yeong to death? Is he going crazy with excitement because Kang Mi-yeong said she wanted to be introduced to him? Is he losing it?’

At that moment, the words and expressions Kwon Mi-eon had shown him a few days ago came back to him.

Back then, Mo Yeon-hu had been so flustered because he couldn’t understand why Kwon Mi-eon was suddenly angry with him that he hadn’t had the chance to look closely at his expression.

‘Then wouldn’t it feel like shit? When the two of you are dying for each other, do you think I’d feel okay?’

But thinking about it now, it was strange. If he hated and disliked the idea of him and Kang Mi-yeong getting together that much, he could have just kicked him out.

‘Because Hyung and Kang Mi-yeong don’t fucking suit each other.’

He only got angry but didn’t kick him out.

‘Who is Kang Mi-yeong for you to make that face? Do you want to be introduced to her that badly? Huh? To the point where you want to be with her so much you could cry just because I said you don’t suit each other….’

…Hadn’t he even held onto him when he tried to leave?

‘Then Kwon Mi-eon really got angry because he was jealous of Ms. Mi-yeong?’

Mo Yeon-hu’s expression became peculiar. He had thought until now that the other was offended because he, a woman-crazy man, liked Kang Mi-yeong. To think it was all jealousy.

‘Jealousy.’

Mo Yeon-hu chewed over the word and opened the search bar. It was a word he knew, but he wanted to see the exact meaning anew. And the first definition that popped up as soon as he searched.

‘Excessive envy when the person one likes likes another person of the opposite sex.’

When the person one likes, likes another person of the opposite sex. Mo Yeon-hu blinked at that part.

Strangely, the nervousness and anxiety he had felt until a moment ago vanished, and his chest felt ticklish. Mo Yeon-hu, whose lips were twitching for no reason, connected his microphone.

“…….”

―…….

Even after he connected and unmuted, Kwon Mi-eon didn’t react much. He seemed to be spacing out for a moment after saying that.

“Hmm, ahem.”

Mo Yeon-hu broke the silence.

―…Hyung!

Only when he made a fuss about being there did a reaction finally come. Kwon Mi-eon, shouting ‘Hyung’ as if glad to see him, hurriedly poured out questions.

―What have you been up to? Have you been well? Did you hear everything I said? And your health? Why did Hyung just cough? Are you sick somewhere….

The more he heard each question flying at him, the more Mo Yeon-hu’s lips wanted to curl upward. He tried his best to restrain himself, but it didn’t work well.

“Um….”

Trying to stay calm, and suppressing the corners of his eyes that wanted to curve even though it wasn’t a video call and Kwon Mi-eon couldn’t see his face, he cleared his throat and thought about what to say, then asked the thing that bothered him most first.

“Why haven’t you contacted me all this time?”

To have grown so distant that he didn’t reach out even once.

―You told me not to contact you, Hyung.

But the answer that came back was quite unexpected.

“What? When did I do that!”

―You said if I contacted you, you’d never see me again….

“No way, there’s no way I said….”

While denying it and tracing back his memories before leaving Kwon Mi-eon’s house, Mo Yeon-hu flinched as he belatedly remembered the warning he had given.

‘Just try contacting me. I’ll never see you again.’

Right. He really did say that! He had completely forgotten the fact that he had said such a thing. However, Mo Yeon-hu found it absurd instead.

“You actually didn’t contact me just because I told you not to? Are you an idiot?”

He found it more absurd that Kwon Mi-eon had taken his words literally.

“At one point, you even forced a starsta ID out of someone who said they didn’t even have a Korean number, so why can’t you be shameless in a situation like this?”

―That’s… hold on. Hyung.

“What. Hey, I didn’t know that, so when there was no contact, I really thought you had cut me off. You really are….”

―Do you remember exchanging starsta IDs with me?
