chapter 14
014. I can’t stand the hunsu!
The morning after receiving a call from Jun-seok oppa.
I was overcome with an indescribable feeling.
“…What can I do?”
In fact, what I was going to do was decided.
I just went out of town, experienced it at the VR experience center, left a record, and took a proof shot, and that was all.
But the problem was that it wasn’t.
The problem caused by Jun-seok’s sudden absence… that’s…
The fact that I had to go alone with Taemin oppa.
In fact, it didn’t matter if the three of them went with one of Junseok oppa or Minji.
It was because Jun-seok oppa tended to keep talking about the project, so there was no need to continue the conversation, and Min-ji, on the contrary, was the type to constantly chat.
Me and Taemin oppa tend to sit and react or listen.
In terms of MBTI, it was clear that the two of us were I’s.
After taking a shower and drying my hair, I opened the closet.
what to wear…
As I rummaged through my autumn clothes, I was seized by a slightly sad feeling.
…It’s like a girl going out on a date. me.
A man and a woman seeing each other outside on a weekend must surely look like a date in the eyes of others.
There was a time when my brother and I thought we wanted to see each other outside…
I never imagined that we would meet like this.
If I could turn back time, I wanted to cancel my confession.
If we had come to know each other through such a natural opportunity, we would have been a little different.
Maybe I just confessed too hastily and messed up my work.
Looking at Taemin oppa’s attitude towards me lately, it was hard not to imagine that.
It wasn’t that I was pushing too hard or appealing, but my brother definitely didn’t seem to hate me that much.
Who would take the lead in doing the tasks for someone they dislike?
Rather, if you like…
Shaking my head, I shook my mind.
“Wake! Doa Kim!”
I tried to lightly hit both cheeks with both hands.
I am an idol! now.
I wonder if Taemin oppa would like a virtual idol that is the essence of such a bitch.
Even if I gave up a hundred steps and started out okay, it was obvious that I would not have any soup if my brother found out my true self.
It must have been just a coincidence that my brother was looking at it that day.
I should have never seen that scene.
It was my own fault for making a strange misunderstanding.
Even as I made up my mind, my hand took out a new cardigan that I thought was pretty among this fall’s clothes.
* * *
The place to meet Doa is an empty lot in front of the subway station exit.
Because it was the weekend, people seemed to be pouring out.
Well, it’s cool, so the weather is nice.
It was a new feeling to see it come out like this after watching the monitor at home.
I guess it’s about time…
The appointment time was almost on time.
“…hey. Do you want to go and talk to me?”
“ah. that you are good Why do you want to see me? You crazy bitch.”
…it’s chilly
When I heard the conversation of the two women standing in front of the tree directly opposite from a while ago, I bristled the transparent antenna mounted inside me.
This was a problem when I came to a hot place.
Whether I was coming alone or with someone, I hated the feeling that someone was constantly looking at me and whispering to me unless I was coming with a woman.
Just tell me to go on my way
Why do you keep asking me to talk to someone I don’t know?
Eventually, as the women presumed to be the villains started approaching, I let out a deep sigh.
After all, I was reloading with an expressionless expression, wondering if I should deal with it according to the manual…
“hello.”
To say it was Luca’s voice was a bit of a dull tone.
But even so, I couldn’t be that happy with Doa.
When the women walking in this direction hesitated, I smiled brightly saying that I was right.
“What~ Why are you here so late~?”
I’m not the kind of person who smiles brightly with teeth exposed…
However, the effect of eradicating the villains was clear.
When I glanced sideways, women passed me by with embarrassed faces.
real donut. You save me in many ways.
After confirming that they had disappeared, I finally looked at Doa’s face properly.
“…hot?”
“yes? no?”
“Your face is red?”
“ah? I guess it’s because I just walked a little faster. hahahaha…”
As she lowered her head slightly, Doa’s hair became a curtain and covered her face.
“okay? If it’s hard, sit here for a while and go.”
When I nodded toward the bench behind me, Doa waved one hand left and right.
“no. no. It’s okay to just go.”
“Then what?”
Taking out my phone and turning on the map app, I led Doa in the direction indicated by the arrow.
Doa wasn’t that tall.
I don’t think it’s roughly 160 degrees.
Maybe that’s why, even though I was walking as usual, her legs looked very busy.
no Maybe I’m just a little bit more hurried because I’m awkward in this situation where there’s no conversation right now.
It was a bit like me to keep silent, but I opened my mouth.
“Do you.”
“yes?”
A startling voice.
“Ah… it’s nothing special, what are you… that… do you hang out here often?”
“no. He’s the type that doesn’t go out of the house that often.”
It was something I knew.
[I don’t like to just run around like that.]
[Uh huh~ I have a friend~ I think I’m the same as you guys!]
[But I tend not to go out first unless someone calls.]
“Oh yeah?”
If it was the norm, I would have asked what I was doing at home instead of going out, but I was stabbed alone for no reason and moved my gaze back to the phone screen.
“…Your brother came here recently?”
“me? I’m a month old I think it was inside?”
This time, Doa asked me a question first.
“Just to play?”
Recalling the day Yoon-jae led me to the club, I nodded shyly.
“Somehow. yes.”
“…okay.”
Doa, who had a mysterious expression on her face, said nothing after that.
The VR experience center is about 15 minutes from the station.
“Everything has come.”
“Wow.”
I came to see what kind of place it was on the blog beforehand, but it felt more noisy when I actually came.
“Have you ever tried VR?”
“no. you?”
Instead, I saw a lot of what you did.
“This is the first time for me too, so I wondered if you could have experienced it.”
I just turned a blind eye to her natural lies.
As we snooped in front of us wondering what we should do, an employee wearing a name tag approached us.
“Come in comfortably!”
“thank you.”
“Is there a particular model you would like to experience?”
A sad young man looked at us with bright eyes.
“Uh… I just want to see you all around…”
It’s burdensome.
oh I’m so embarrassed about this.
I often have a similar experience when I go to a clothing store, and I said, ‘Please leave me alone.’ It was a class.
“Ah~ Then, if you come this way, I’ll help guide you in a simple way!”
As I went deeper according to the staff’s words, various corners caught my eye.
“In this case, it is now a place where you can experience FPS indirectly, and that you see on the other side is a sports series. Table tennis and skiing are available! And again…”
Surprised by the wider and more variety than we thought, we thanked the guide and stood leaning to one side.
“Still, wouldn’t it be better to try them all one at a time?”
“Shouldn’t it be because Jun-seok oppa said so?”
“Then what shall we do?”
Among them, I saw a number of games that Luca often played on the air.
He also did VR sports content, and recently played a rhythm game.
“Uh… Then, let’s start with something a little easier…”
Luka looked around the inside and stood in front of the rhythm game room.
“Let’s start with this. Because it is not noisy.”
“OK. then.”
As we stood in front of the machine, another employee explained to us how to use it.
“Someone played the game…”
He was about to hand over the headset, so I accepted it first.
“I will do it. Please take a picture behind Doa.”
“Yes Yes.”
At my words, Doa took a few steps back and took out her phone.
Whoa… Ah. but this is something
In fact, VR equipment is a good system to experience fun, but when others see it from a distance, it loses its shape.
It’s obviously ugly…
Still, this is a challenge.
I was very embarrassed to think that I was being rude in front of Luca, but I put the VR headset on my head.
What came to me was pitch-black darkness.
Soon, a magnificent beat played in my ears, and a colorful cluster of stars spread out in front of my eyes.
So this…
As I waved my hand holding the controller, a song list popped up.
It was amazing.
It feels like this.
I picked a song that looked roughly cheerful and started, and directional cubes flew towards me.
“Oh Mr.”
I thought that it was very fast and threatening, so I first waved the lightsaber in my hand.
why is this so difficult
When I saw it on the air, [Ahhh, who can’t do that.] If that was the attitude, it wasn’t now.
The miss sound that floats when you can’t hit it in time.
It was like half a hit and half a miss.
“Huh…”
It seems less than 30 seconds since it started, but the game was over, so I took off the headset and calmed down.
I was going to ask Doa to delete the video if she ever took it…
Small lips wriggling.
The round, kind-looking eyes were still glaring at me.
“Anything to say…”
“I wasn’t going to talk about it if I was really messed up…”
It seemed that he really had something to say.
“no! Why on earth do you hold and wield the controller like that?”
…Lukattan: Didn’t we just go with a VR concept that we didn’t know each other at all?
It was only embarrassing to hear Doah’s screams.
