The Identity Revelation at Starbucks

Yeah, it's surprising but it's true.

@ Minho

I had been looking forward to meeting Seoyeon all day at school. I was so curious about what expression Seoyeon would make when she faced the truth that I was eager to see her as soon as possible.

It seemed that my face was full of smiles to the point that Hyeji, who was taking classes with me, asked if something good had happened.

As time passed and the appointment time approached, I first entered Starbucks as Minho and chatted with Seoyeon who had already arrived.

During the conversation, I confirmed that Seoyeon had no idea that I was the same person as WlrTkqjflrlrhtn from the game, so I got up saying I was going to the bathroom to show the surprise.

After sneaking out the back door of the building, I told in the open chat that I was entering Starbucks as WlrTkqjflrlrhtn, and walked in briskly.

Seoyeon was reacting as if she couldn't believe what had suddenly appeared, so I told her the shocking truth with my own mouth.

"Hello? Nice to meet you? I am the person who was called 'Gosu Unnie?' 'Gosu Oppa?' who I met in the game."

"Eh... eh... ? Minho-ya, what does that mean...? You are Gosu Oppa?"

"Yeah, yeah. It's surprising but it's true. The person who carried you in the duo while playing in the game. Because of the proxy controversy in today's video, we were supposed to meet to explain how to handle it, right?"

I, as Minho, didn't know why we were meeting Seoyeon today, but since Seoyeon didn't tell me the reason, the information that was completely unknown to Minho came out smoothly from my mouth, so Seoyeon couldn't help but be even more surprised.

As a result of being so surprised, she couldn't say anything.

I sat on the seat I was sitting on earlier, took a sip of my coffee, and lightly tapped Seoyeon’s forehead who was still in a daze.

"Kang Seoyeon~ Come back to your senses~"

"Eh! Uh... What is this... Are you really the person with the ID Quick Shot Master from the game?!"

The shock had passed, but in a Starbucks cafe full of people, I didn't expect her to call out my ID openly.

Even so, saying the ID 'Quick Shot Master' as is in reality wasn't right. So I raised my index finger and signaled to be quiet by covering my mouth.

Seoyeon also realized what she had done and her face turned red, she lowered her head and sipped one sip of the coffee in front of her.

"I didn't think there was such a coincidence. Who would have known that the person I met in real life was the person I played duo with in the game?"

"Really... If I had known, I would have told you earlier... I feel like I've become a fool..."

"I knew it too after hearing about yesterday. I suspected something because the streamer name and your name were the same, but when you said the content you heard from the game on the phone, you couldn't help but know even if you weren't a fool."

Seoyeon sighed greatly after hearing my words. It seemed she was very embarrassed that she contacted the game as a different person and called again on the phone.

"I looked up the internet about you after hearing about yesterday's incident and saw the story about the cheating incident we had. There, it was completely confirmed."

"Ah, you saw that too. I didn't upload it to YouTube because I was worried what you would think if you saw it..."

Seoyeon was silent for a while, head lowered.

Was the shock too much? I felt a bit sorry.

"...Kk!"

Huh? Suddenly, a strange laugh sound was heard.

"Kukuk... Fuahahaha!!"

And the laugh came out from Seoyeon who was sitting opposite me.

Suddenly, she was like this.

"Eh... Seoyeon-ah?"

"Haha... Huh? Why, Minho-ya?"

"I was worried because you suddenly laughed like crazy."

How much she laughed, people around us turned to look at us once.

"Ah, I'm fine. After organizing the situation, it seems better than I thought, so I laughed without realizing it."

"That's good... What does that mean?"

"I was worrying a lot ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠about how to convince the Gosu Oppa I was supposed to meet today. I wasn't sure if she would listen to my request even if we met together."

Of course, there's no guarantee that she would agree to a proxy explanation with a first-time person. Rather, the possibility that I would be questioned why I had to do it was higher.

In this situation, the person who shoots and makes the video has more benefit than the person who has to explain.

"But it's easier to talk if it's someone you know, so it's even better. Also, since the living places are close, it's easy to meet. It's a bit embarrassing, but when you look at each one, it's actually a good situation."

"Ah, maybe. In your position, it might have made the difficulty of the matter easier?"

"Even so, I don't plan to ask for help for free. I have to distinguish between public and private. Then, I have to talk properly now. First... Can you help with the proxy explanation?"

Seoyeon asked with a slightly trailing voice. It felt like she was worried that if I refused, what would happen.

I thought about saying no to the joke, but since it had turned into a serious talk about the matter, it didn't seem right to joke.

"Of course. I can do that much. My face won't appear, right?"

"You haven't shown your face either... And if my face comes out in my broadcast..."

"If it comes out?"

"Ah, it's nothing. I imagined what would happen if that happened, but I can see that the viewers are openly doing sexual harassment chats. Just saying that a man appeared would cause a ruckus."

I felt this while watching Seoyeon’s broadcast several times, but it was true that in the gender-reversed world, women were often seen treating men as sexual objects.

In the middle, it seemed like Seoyeon was hitting the ban sometimes.

"Anyway, we'll proceed in a direction where neither my face nor Minho's personal information is disclosed at all, and we'll decide how much to give as remuneration."

"Remuneration... How much do they usually get in these cases? Since it's the first time, I don't know well."

"I don't earn much either, so I probably can't give a lot, this much...?"

Seoyeon spread three fingers.

"30,000 won? Think of it as earning chicken money."

"Eh, eh? 30,000 won?"

Seoyeon was startled by my muttering and her eyes widened.

"Eh? No way?"

"Of course not! If I give that much money, I'll be completely insulted as trash!"

Then, how much are you trying to give?

"Then 300,000 won?"

"I was thinking of that much for now. But probably, there will be many dones in the middle. If I add the cost of that too, it will be more?"

It's more than I thought. I thought I would earn enough for a meal as an example while helping.

This is great?
