Chapter 36

 

Earlier, he had nonchalantly stripped right in front of me without hesitation. Now, clutching a towel tightly around his waist with one hand, Noeul muttered quietly.

“You’re a pervert, hyung. You just wanted to see my body, didn’t you?”

Kyungsoo let out a dry laugh. A pervert? Seriously?

“Why would I? You’re the one who covered everything up and then called me a pervert. Who told you to strip in the first place!”

“This is… my bathroom… at my house….”

“……”

He had a point. The intruder here was Kyungsoo, and it was Noeul who had been innocently showering before being interrupted. Kyungsoo smirked and replied.

“It’s fine! We’ve seen everything there is to see anyway. And besides, you covered up so fast, I didn’t see a thing.”

“You saw everything?! What else did you see?!”

“Well, if I saw that much, there’s no point in denying—”

“……”

“……”

Realizing what he had just blurted out, Kyungsoo quickly shut the door. Then, peeking through the gap, he whispered.

“…Want me to bring you some clothes?”

“Yes….”

Kyungsoo grabbed whatever clothes he could find in his room and left them by the door. Shortly after, Noeul peeked out, his head barely visible, with the back of his neck inside the hoodie turning bright red. However, upon reflection, Kyungsoo felt he wasn’t in the wrong. After all, back then, it was Noeul who…!

“Oh? How did you log in?”

“The password was the same: ‘CheonNoeulJjangJjang123.’ Wait, don’t come in yet.”

“Why not?”

“Think about it. What did you do after I left yesterday?”

“Well…”

“……?”

Noeul twitched his lips and covered his face with his large hands. Kyungsoo could tell; whatever he did, it must have been something strange!

“For God’s sake, can you fucking stop making that face? The post, your post!”

Embarrassed, Noeul fiddled with his reddened ears and nodded awkwardly.

“You don’t know what I know. And no one knows I’m the one who told you to write that. No one knows anything. But imagine me waking up in the morning to see what you wrote. How do you think I’d feel?”

“Amazed!”

“Are you crazy? I’d be mad!”

“Yes, sir.”

“So, if you come in here, I’ll have to kill you once to make an example out of you. Still want to come in? Everyone’s already asking me when I’ll take revenge.”

“That doesn’t matter to me.”

Noeul double-clicked Sunset to log into the game and immediately entered the fashion shop. Kyungsoo wondered what he was up to, only to see him buying a ring.

“This is all that’s left. Just one for Cheon Noeul. I’ve already rejected him nine times.”

“Re-logging in is a hassle. So, should I propose after dying? Don’t reject me this time!”

“…Uh, okay.”

Noeul teleported to the guild zone. But things seemed to be escalating. As Kyungsoo had been idling there, curious onlookers began to gather.

[Whisper] GreenAppleCheong: Did you see my mail?? I’ll come at the right time!!

[Global] SSarrow: Ugh, lag…

[Whisper] GreenAppleCheong: Meowie oppa? hehe >_<

“What are you doing not attacking yet, hyung… GreenApple?”

Noeul glanced at Kyungsoo’s monitor and frowned deeply. Kyungsoo mumbled defensively.

“She said she sent me mail, that’s all.”

“Mail? She dares try to woo you with items?”

[Whisper] GreenAppleCheong: Meowie oppa? hehe >_<

Noeul covered Kyungsoo’s ears with his hands.

“What should I do about her….”

“……”

Saying it so loudly defeated the purpose of covering his ears. Noeul muttered something under his breath, grabbed Kyungsoo’s hand, and pleaded pitifully.

“Hyung, block her. Please?”

“……”

Kyungsoo chuckled, incredulous. Noeul pouted, his lips trembling in frustration as he glared at the monitor.

[Whisper] GreenAppleCheong: Are you listening to me?ㅠ0ㅠ

“Hyung, let me warn her just once—just turn around for a sec….”

“Who do you think you are? Sit down.”

Kyungsoo flicked Noeul’s forehead with his finger, making him flinch and sit back down obediently. Or… was he sulking now?

Pouting like a scolded puppy, Noeul grumbled.

“You block dozens of whispers from me, but why do you accept hers? Because she’s a girl? But she’s a guy too!”

“…Maybe, but there’s no solid proof she’s a guy either.”

“Proof? Should I find proof?”

Kyungsoo had a bad feeling. Lately, these premonitions were almost always right. He quickly shifted the focus.

“You sent me a hundred whispers. If she does the same, I’ll block her too.”

“……”

“Come to think of it, you also sent me a hundred mail items. Hey!”

When the topic of the past came up, Noeul suddenly smiled and looked away.

“Hehe….”

“Funny, is it?”

“Nope.”

Blocking Noeul back then didn’t stop him. He’d just create a new level-1 character and spam Kyungsoo until the block was lifted. He even sent junk items one by one, making mass deletion impossible, forcing Kyungsoo to manually receive and delete them. Compared to that, GreenAppleCheong was nothing. If anything, Noeul was overreacting.

“Should I check my mail real quick? Wait a moment?”

“Nope! I come first. Mail can wait!”

[Global] JJ: Please, if you’re going to fight, take it to global chat. Please….

[Global] Jumpsun: My thoughts exactly….

[Global] BackstabberDelight: When’s the duel starting?

[Global] Sunset: Now.

Noeul plucked the strings of his harp, casting a wide-area buff. The players within range, including Kyungsoo, received an HP boost.

[Global] BackstabberDelight: ? Buff…?

[Global] Ji9star: LOL wtf

[Global] anamato: LOL, innovative way to die ^^

[Guild] Ji9star: [Breaking News] Sunset leaves a kiss from the archangel in his will, causing a stir.

[Guild] neutaaaa: What? Sunset joined??? You should have told me. In the Guild Zone?

[Guild] Ji9star: Yeah, lol, it hasn’t started yet. Brrrr, Sam, lololololol.

[All] Seolyeong: That’s a bit much, lol.

[All] HalloweenEggplant: A bit much? Heh.

[All] Seolyeong: ㅡㅡ….

[All] ParkRoach: You’re not funny.

[All] JJ: What’s going on? Are we even fighting? Stop with the buffs already, when are we going to fight, damn it? If this drags on any longer, the crowd will just keep increasing

Kyungsoo sighed. If they delayed any longer, more spectators would gather. Using his skill menu, he activated a crowd-control skill, Dragon Chain.

“Dragon Chain!”

A bomb-wrapped chain coiled around Sunset, exploding with a loud bang. Noeul didn’t even try to defend himself, leaning back in his chair as if watching TV. Kyungsoo wasn’t about to let him slack off.

“Cheon Noeul, hands on the keyboard.”

“Huh?”

“Drink a potion.”

“…Why? What for?”

“You’re making it too obvious. If you don’t take this seriously, forget about us being a couple or anything else. Even if you propose with ten rings, I won’t accept it.”

At those words, Noeul gasped and leaned forward in his seat. Sunset’s HP bar shot up after consuming a potion item.

“What are you doing? Attack.”

“How could I possibly attack you, hyung…”

“If you win, I’ll buy you a ring.”

“……!”

The implications of “Kyungsoo hyung buying a ring = proposal = Kyungsoo hyung = hooray, a confession!” brought Noeul to an immediate conclusion. Forgetting what he had just said, he cast a curse skill. Despite his earlier protest about attacking his hyung, he showed no mercy.

[Guild Chat]

– Ji9star: Whoa, are they really fighting?

– Poseidon Captain: Do you expect them to fight fake battles? Go, Meowie-nim!

– Ji9star: I’ve never seen Meowie’s sidekick try to kill him before. Crazy stuff.

– ParkRoach: Did someone get struck by lightning in their sleep? LOL

– Poseidon Captain: Good, good^^

– HalloweenEggplant: Because of that guy, even the guild master’s character is doomed. LOL

The King’s Savers, including HalloweenEggplant, were shielding onlookers with barriers. Meanwhile, Noeul threw himself into battle as if his life depended on it, using curses, poison, and debuff buffs, while attacking relentlessly.

[Public Chat]

– Snow Spirit: Hey, aim properly! ;ㅜ

– Sunset: Dodge better, haha.

– Spade Queen: …

– GodControllerChulsoo: LOL, you idiot.

Berserkers (AoE dealers) and Moon Fairies (buff specialists) were wreaking havoc in the open guild zone map, occasionally dragging bystanders into the chaos. If not for the healers, many users would have already died.

This was the first time since the early days of Noeul’s character, Cheon Noeul, that he’d chased Kyungsoo so fervently. Kyungsoo could have easily ended the fight by using his character’s skills, but he refrained, knowing innocent bystanders might get caught in the crossfire.

Instead, he opened his skill window, selecting small-scale skills to avoid collateral damage. Despite targeting Sunset repeatedly, Noeul stubbornly evaded and returned to the fray, breaking the targeting lock. The only way to lock him down was to corner him completely.

In contrast, Noeul fought like someone who didn’t know the meaning of “restraint.” Instead of setting a single target, he spammed wide-area skills indiscriminately.

[Skill Activated]

Shocking Fever!

You are paralyzed for 3 seconds.

Sunset slammed his harp onto the ground. Kyungsoo tried to jump away, but stars began floating above his character’s head, signaling paralysis.

Healing Prayer!

[Public Chat]

– GreenAppleCheong: Haha.

Green Apple appeared just in time to dispel the status effect and disappeared from sight with a jump.

—

Once freed from paralysis, Kyungsoo yanked Sunset down to the ground. Sunset quickly scrambled to his feet and flew back to the upper map like an annoying fly.

“Ugh, seriously…”

Noeul grumbled, furrowing his brows.

—

[Public Chat]

– Sunset: Green Apple hyung! Stop interfering!

– Green Apple: Hehe?

– Snow Spirit: LOL

While Noeul was typing something, everyone cleared the area around him. He had inadvertently backed into a corner, with Kyungsoo blocking any chance of retreat. This was Kyungsoo’s chance. He jumped high and targeted Sunset.

[Notification]

MeowieMeowMeow has declared Sunset as their target!

Hooking Star!

He pulled Sunset in and followed up with an instant skill, reducing his HP by more than half. Noeul tried to escape by flying upwards, but Kyungsoo anticipated this and used the binding skill Dragon Chain.

Charging up his ultimate, Kyungsoo delivered the finishing blow, and Sunset collapsed with X’s for eyes.

“Ah…”

Noeul sighed in despair. Judging by his dejected expression, it seemed he had genuinely believed he could win.

[Public Chat]

– God Controller Chulsoo: LOL

– Ji9star: Hahaha, Meowie-nim won!!! ^0^

– Server Announcement: ★☆God MeowieMeowMeow defeats Suntrash!☆★ Congratulations to ★MeowieMeowMeow★ for their victory! So cool, oppa~ >_<

– Spade Queen: Congrats on your nth death, Sunset. Sorry for the late celebration♡

– Snow Spirit: Live like there’s no tomorrow, guys. Haha.

As users continued mocking Sunset’s defeat, Noeul exuded a gloomy aura.

“Noeul-ah.”

Kyungsoo leaned down to meet his gaze, speaking softly to console him.

“Get up now. I won’t kill you anymore.”

“…Then can I confess to you now?”

“……”

There were too many onlookers, but if he refused, Noeul would probably sink into a deeper sulk.

“Fine. Go ahead.”
