Chapter 20

Loser

Yuria, who quietly scanned the chat window, laughed small and pressed the two people.

"How did you two meet-yeees?"

"That... back when I was at the chicken factory......"

As the story flowed naturally like ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠that, the four left the construction site.

And one step, no about two steps behind, there were those watching them.

"Eueeeeeeegh..."

"Hyung-nim...?"

The abandoned 3rd and 4th ranks.

"Leftovers handling again-sumkka."

"Too heavy for me-desu. Already overloaded with just Ajura, Super Yabai [Dangerous] state."

"Is that a double date over there-sumkka. I support it but. Don't you think this is a bit wrong-sumkka."

"Fucked up-desu."

"In the first place-sumda. Didn't even explain separately-sumda. Treatment is too much isn't it-sumkka."

Just when they were left miserably and mumbling like that.

"Ajura, Yui."

"Hait?"

"Didn't talk behind back-sumda!!! Really-sumda!!"

Nogada returned abruptly.

"Those two over there, are tremendous waste-classes. Cheer up, and you guys control them well. Can't stay at the bottom forever right. Then work hard."

What he left was that one word, but its impact wasn't small.

"Lea-der said he leaves it to us-desu..."

"Well thinking about it-sumda. We also have quite some experience-sumda. Thought it was time to manage juniors slowly too-sumda."

"And technically since superior is letting us loose, isn't it rather good-desu? Plus listening to the last words..."

"Seems he is thinking about our juniors too-sumda. No, unconditionally-sumda."

"Escape-desu?"

"Not far-sumda. Or perhaps already?"

Ajura and Yui's gazes headed to the two left behind.

The two burned with determination.

"Hoeeeeeeeee...."

"Think I heard scary words just now?"

The two trembled.

"Don't play too much during vacation. Then shall we wrap up slowly?"

"""Yes!!!"""

"Oh my so loud. Try being like that usually you things. Okay, I'm getting off work too. See you all when school starts. Dismissed!"

Only then did Shin Yu-ri raise her head.

Finally vacation.

Meant can enter server from 3 PM now.

Then...

"Yu-ri. Let's go."

"Uh, yeah."

"Why is this kid's condition like this these days? Wake up a bit."

Shin Yu-ri stood up lightly stroking Choi Da-ram's head.

Because worrying while pretending not to was cute but.

"What is this."

"Armrest."

Why do I end up saying like this actually.

My personality is really bad too.

"You're dead."

"Da-ram-ah you endure!!"

"Why me!!!"

While running away, thoughts were elsewhere.

Feeling somewhat floating.

Coming to senses, just before leaving campus, seeing Lee Ju-yeong waving hand from afar, Han Ye-rin opened her mouth.

"Yu-ri really not coming? Ju-yeong's friends decided to play together too."

"Going to karaoke you like too, not coming to this?"

"Yeah, sorry. Have a prior engagement."

"Toxic bitch..."

"Can't help prior engagement."

Walking while making excuses like that, soon Lee Ju-yeong's voice was heard.

"Honey!!!"

And the voices of the rest too.

"No really not going?"

"Yeah."

"Going to karaoke too?? If you're missing what percent of our combat power is missing!!"

"Today is no."

"Because of game?"

"Yeah."

"Isn't this a pure crazy bastard. Game is more important than playing with us?"

"Hmm... yeah. Because this game is a bit fun."

"Honest though."

"Okay Jae-rim-ah if done this much let her go."

"Ah fucking shame though. Without her can't do song battle with next room."

Complex head calms down at the low voice heard.

Where Shin Yu-ri's gaze naturally headed, Kim Jae-hyun was standing as if obvious.

In appearance surrounded by boys.

"Call next time next time. Roughly... after 2 weeks."

"Just say you won't come out."

"No really. Will go after that."

Still same build and same attire.

But looked strangely different today.

What is it?

Kim Jae-hyun squeezed in between thoughts about Life Server filling the head.

Shin Yu-ri approached Kim Jae-hyun without realizing the smile rising on her face.

"Jae-hyun Jae-hyun! You going home too?"

"... Uh. Going right away."

"Hmm, me too."

"I see."

Not asking why?

Shin Yu-ri pushed Choi Jae-rim aside and approached Kim Jae-hyun.

And looked up persistently.

"Not asking why?"

Was a slightly impulsive question.

Because vacation is ahead.

Wanted to ask.

Am I the only one bothered.

Weren't you like that too.

Wanted to check against each other.

"Why?"

"Yeah."

Almost touching, seemingly good or not.

Subtle intersection that cannot be explained with words was.

"Yeah."

Ruined by one side's unilateral gesture.

One word coming from a face stiff to the point of seeming excessive.

Blocked by a truly simple answer, by cowardly evasion.

".... Puhat, right?"

Knew you would do that.

Knew it.

While Shin Yu-ri struggled to maintain a smile, Kim Jae-hyun's mouth opened again.

"Mm, I'm not going because of playing game so was getting pressured. You... must have some reason."

Contextless additional explanation.

Slightly stupid expression and awkward tone unlike usual.

Was clearly a flustered appearance.

Seeing that, Shin Yu-ri, loosened a bit, thought while shaking her head lightly.

You don't have absolutely no thoughts either right?

What's with that awkward tone?

I knew.

Already heard from afar.

But why telling me?

Answering like that, giving room?

Probably not.

Because you aren't me.

Know you aren't that insidious person.

Felt a bit too much after answering?

So saying something awkwardly like that?

Hmm, I see.

Still, this one is a bit annoying.

Actually a bit much?

"You know that?"

"What?"

Surroundings quiet before noticing, point between campus where only two remain.

"I'm not cool like you. Unlike the me you think of."

Shin Yu-ri said that and rummaged through her bag and took out the blanket.

"Here. A bit late right?"

"Uh um, a bit."

"Sorry. Then I'll get going slowly. Have a promise."

And I wasn't to that extent either.

Just, liked the face level.

"Uh, okay. Go first."

Still, regrettable to give up still.

Actually don't dislike personality either so.

A bit clingy but what to do.

Sin of liking first probably.

"Thanks. Kind."

But I'm neither cool nor nice like you, so think I have to leave room.

So.

"Keep the blanket well. Going to use it again."

Hope you think of me throughout vacation.

With those words as last, Shin Yu-ri walked away with calm, or slightly fast steps.

Kim Jae-hyun left alone looked at the blanket in hand and smacked his lips.

Then the sentence that finally came out was a bit loser-like and foolish.

"I'm not, that cool either."

And blanket please... buy one.

Is this not it.

Kim Jae-hyun who put the blanket in bag scratched his head as always.

No, a bit stronger than usual.

Shin Yu-ri clenched her fist moving away.

"Ah, seriously."

I like him.

Big trouble.

Shin Yu-ri messed up her hair wildly expressing anger.

Passersby looked like seeing a crazy bitch but no time to ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠care.

Definitely thought it wasn't until this morning.

What did I think.

What? Think of me throughout vacation?

When did I fall for him?

At first definitely wasn't.

Personality is ‍‍‌‌⁠​​⁠‌​​‍​​‍​‌​⁠‍‌‍⁠⁠‌⁠‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍⁠​‌​‌​‌‍‌‌‌⁠‍​​‌‍⁠‌‌⁠⁠really not it either so why attracted at all.

Of course cute in his own way so there are parts I like but...

What am I saying.

Really crazy...

Shin Yu-ri forcibly cut off rising thoughts and looked at the sky blankly.

Summer sky was just flawlessly clear without knowing her heart.

Ah, why of all things.

Shin Yu-ri recalled Kim Jae-hyun's stiff face.

Can I pierce that defense...?

Even if it's me, Kim Jae-hyun seems really difficult.

Always calm eyes and straight eye shape, firm lips.

Nose bridge stretching straight down and skin giving dry feeling always.

Mmm.

Face value is it.

Shin Yu-ri, recalling the face blankly for a moment, soon tapped her own cheek lightly.

"Shin Yu-ri you are really crazy."

Not to that extent.

Don't keep recalling!

Leaving Yuria aside, simps for male Eating Bear? Surprisingly exist.

This simp is frequently found especially in male streamers belonging to Hakko, and if counting only density, it was thick enough to make average VTuber simps seem like nothing.

Because beyond pseudo-dating, they try to wield him as if he really became theirs.

Literally people wanting cyber boyfriend.

In that sense, Eating Bear's broadcast with good voice and calm broadcast as daily routine fit their taste exactly but.

For simps to live, Just Chatting was needed.
