After holding onto me, now he’s pushing me away like I’m a nuisance.
While Mo Yeon-hu looked at Kwon Mi-eon, seemingly dumbfounded, he quickly returned his tray.
Mi-yeong, who was at the return station, glanced at Mo Yeon-hu’s direction.
‘Ah, eye contact.’
Her eyes widened, and then she folded them into crescents as she smiled. Mo Yeon-hu almost smiled back at her face without realizing it.
“……?”
In an instant, a large figure cut in, and he could no longer see her.
“Why are you leaving already?!”
But Mi-yeong didn’t know how to give up. She peeked her face out from beside Kwon Mi-eon’s arm and asked Mo Yeon-hu. She looked so much like a rabbit, it was too cute.
“Why are you curious about that?”
However, Kwon Mi-eon once again blocked Mi-yeong, cutting off their eye contact.
His interference was absurd, but Kang Mi-yeong, standing in front, must have been even more dumbfounded. The two people’s voices intertwined in a quarrel.
“Why are you doing this?”
“Since when have you been so enthusiastic about greetings? Why not to me?”
“Ha- Can’t I greet a customer?”
“He’s my customer.”
“What are you even saying! And if you came all the way here, why are you leaving already instead of giving me a ride? I’m about to get off work!”
“I have to go to work now, too?”
“You?”
Since there weren’t many people in the cafe, the conversation was all audible.
‘Ms. Mi-yeong is getting off work soon. But what does Kwon Mi-eon do… Is he really a model?’
Mo Yeon-hu, who was thinking absentmindedly, paused and frowned.
‘Why am I curious?’
He shook his head, wondering why he was so concerned about that strange guy, and tapped on his phone screen.
Zombie Village
Now
(Alert) Zombie Village is desperately calling you.
Survivor, please check the status of the Base immediately!
Notifications kept popping up at the top. Mo Yeon-hu looked at the counter and tilted his head. Now, Kang Mi-yeong and Kwon Mi-eon were about to grab each other by the collar.
‘Doesn’t Ms. Mi-yeong know that the Alliance is in chaos?’
The Miu he saw was quite responsible. So Mi-yeong must be quite concerned about the current situation, but it seemed she didn’t know because she was working.
‘Then I should go and protect it.’
Honestly, even if he, who had only heard about Siege Warfare, went into the game, he wouldn’t be of much help, but still, he had been with the Alliance for a few days.
‘I need to go quickly.’
Belonging was a really strange thing. He was bothered by the constantly popping up red notifications, and he wanted to see if the Alliance Territory was okay on the big screen…
Clang!
Before he knew it, Mo Yeon-hu was leaving the cafe, forgetting about Kang Mi-yeong and Kwon Mi-eon.
Whether he knew it or not, his priorities were changing without him realizing it. As soon as Mo Yeon-hu left the cafe, he was busy calling a taxi on his phone app. He checked the number of the taxi that was immediately caught.
“Hyung… Where are you going?”
Thud, there was a hand grabbing his shoulder. He turned his head to the now familiar low voice, and Kwon Mi-eon, wearing a mask, was standing next to him.
“I was returning your stuff for you, Hyung.”
Mo Yeon-hu couldn’t help but be dumbfounded by the slightly disgruntled voice. When did he tell him not to come to the return station and to leave first?
“Why are you leaving me behind?”
Why was he whining as if he had abandoned him?
“Want a ride?”
Kwon Mi-eon gestured slightly, and the sports car he had seen before was parked in front of the building. Fortunately, the door was closed properly this time…
“Let me give you a ride.”
Mo Yeon-hu remembered the driver’s seat and trunk that had been wide open on the rainy day.
Who knows what would happen if he rode in a Drug addict’s car.
“No thanks.”
As distrust flashed across Mo Yeon-hu’s face, Kwon Mi-eon muttered.
“I guess you really don’t want to ride…”
Mo Yeon-hu tried to hide his expression, feeling accused of looking at him like a kidnapper, but honestly, it would be a lie to say he wasn’t wary of the other person.
“I may look like this, but I’m a good driver. I’ve been driving since I was 20, and I haven’t had any accidents. Let’s go together?”
With his light attitude like paper, being friends with Lee Seung-hwan, and his seemingly insane way of speaking.
But he couldn’t just ignore him, because he was the family of Mi-yeong, whom he liked, and the guy who knew the secret of his lost day.
“That’s not it.”
He couldn’t show too bad of an impression.
“I really want to ride, but the taxi is almost here, so I can’t cancel it.”
Mo Yeon-hu somehow squeezed out an excuse.
“It must have been hard for him to come all the way here. The driver would be sad if I didn’t ride…”
Of course, Kwon Mi-eon was dumbfounded.
“Hyung. You can’t lie.”
Unlike his words, his face clearly showed his determination to get rid of Kwon Mi-eon and quickly take a taxi home. Eventually, Kwon Mi-eon lowered his head and burst into laughter.
“You’re really funny.”
As he quickly lowered and raised his head, one of the loosely hanging mask straps fell off his ear.
Mo Yeon-hu stared blankly at the face that was fully revealed in the bright daylight. Kwon Mi-eon’s smile was pretty, and Mo Yeon-hu was weak to pretty things. So he was momentarily captivated.
But reason caught him. No matter how pretty he was, his core was rotten.
“Hyung?”
As he turned his head away, the taxi arrived just in time.
“I have to go. Bye.”
He was a savior. Mo Yeon-hu headed towards it as if he had been waiting.
“Hyung! Saturday!”
Mo Yeon-hu, who inadvertently turned around at the loud voice from behind, paused.
Kwon Mi-eon was waving his hand like a puppy wagging its tail. Perhaps because of his large build, his waving hands drew attention from those around him.
“See you on Saturday!”
Since he was doing that near a fiercely designed sports car, even the few pedestrians on the weekday were glancing at him, and Mo Yeon-hu felt embarrassed and quickly got into the taxi.
“Ah, hello. XX-dong, right?”
“Yes, welcome aboard~”
At that moment, a vibration rang, and Mo Yeon-hu immediately checked his phone. As soon as he got into the car, a DM arrived as if he had been waiting.

Hyung, get home safe
Mo Yeon-hu chuckled, looking at what this number was…
He’s really a strange kid. Why would he memorize and write down the taxi number I took?
‘This is something you do for your girlfriend.’
He probably didn’t do it with that intention. He stared out the window at the subtly ticklish message.

A new notification popped up.
‘Nova?’
It was definitely a DM from Ms. Mi-yeong. Mo Yeon-hu quickly switched to the conversation window as if he had been waiting.
Cafe- Nova (XX Branch)
XX Month XX Day 11:05 AM
I’m sorry I couldn’t give you more service even though you participated in today’s event ㅠㅠ
If you come next time, I’ll give you lots of cookies!!!
(Emoji)
It was an emoji of a cute cookie crying.
Mo Yeon-hu’s lips curved into a smile at the very cute emoji, as expected of someone working at a cafe.
He used to freeze up whenever he went in front of Mi-yeong, but now it seemed less so than before.
Judging by the fact that he could make eye contact and talk quite well, it seemed that talking to her character, Miu, in the game had been a big help. He had also become a bit more intimate.
Cafe- Nova (XX Branch)
I’ll look forward to it!
He sent a warm reply like that, but in fact, Mo Yeon-hu was dumbfounded even while typing. In the meantime, contacts had been flying in non-stop.

It wasn’t a saved number, but it wasn’t difficult to guess who was calling.
‘Why is the Drug addict being so clingy?’
Mo Yeon-hu, who was making a disgusted expression, rejected the call, but the ringtone rang again as if he had been waiting.
At this point, he had a thought.
‘Did I run away with his drugs that day?’
…Really?
