“Ah, you’re here, unnie?”
“Yeah, hi. But… hearing you call me unnie all of a sudden feels kinda cringey.”
“Psh, what’s with that? You just slept all the time in the department lounge anyway.”
“I didn’t wanna hang out with you guys, that’s why. Talking to you all drains my energy…”
“What drains your energy so much…?”
“It drained a ton. You know why me and my cohort, including Yoon Seo-hyun, didn’t go to the lounge? We went to rest, but our ears hurt too much.”
“No way, that was because of us?”
“We went to rest, but it felt like our eardrums were gonna burst. Anyway… you’re streaming right now?”
“Yeah.”
“Hang on, this is all going out live, right?”
Tae-hoon glanced at the computer and spoke as if he’d just realized.
“Yeah.”
“…My actor image is totally ruined.”
“Did you even have an image to begin with?”
“Uh, well… right? Did I?”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Somehow totally different from the image I had in my head, shocked lol ㅋㅋㅋ
“Hey, look. They say you do.”
Seeing those chats pop up here and there, I got curious what image people had of Tae-hoon.
“What image?”
-The look from the movie and the premiere was my default lol ㅋㅋㅋ
-Thought he’d be cool and all, but he’s just College Senior #1 who loves messing around lol ㅋㅋ
“Oh… I had that kind of image?”
“But it’s all exposed now. Look at you.”
“It’s all your fault, you punk.”
“What’s my fault? You sucked at the game, got all scratched up, and came all the way here.”
“…Damn it.”
At my words, Tae-hoon’s face turned bright red.
Wow, is it because his skin is so translucent you can see his veins?
It shows up so clearly when he blushes.
Just like an anime character he likes.
“The world’s gone mad. How could I suck at games more than this guy?”
“Well, joking aside… honestly, I still can’t believe it.”
-How bad was the Director’s gaming for this to happen?
“Worse than you all imagine. To be honest, he picks up game theory fast, right? But he only knows theory inside out. His fine controls are the worst. And this guy has insane physicals, so I really don’t get it.”
-Level of bad fine control?
“Simply put, in hardcore action games like this, you memorize boss patterns and time the beats. His sense of rhythm was a mess. But… this guy who was like that now games better than me?”
-Real scratched-up reaction lol ㅋㅋ
-But if that’s true, it’s understandable ㅇㅇ Thinking ‘I’m worse than him?’<< That scratches more than I thought lol ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
“Ah, hold on. I’m pretty sure I uploaded a video of him playing games before on my channel…”
“Why the hell did you upload that crap?”
“In case you ever tried to show off with games later, I saved it to use against you. Know how to use the computer?”
“Yeah, go ahead.”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Director’s dark history release time?
“Yeah. Everyone, watch our Director’s pathetic gaming skills before you go. I can’t accept this guy getting praise for games.”
Tae-hoon said that and fiddled with something, pulling up a video.
This jerk, when did he start uploading my play footage to his channel?
And the revealed video was pretty shocking.
It was just a common FPS game footage… but why can’t he hit anything?
Did I really play like that?
“See? This pathetic aim. He’s shooting right in front of him, but misses, right? I saved it because it shocked me so much to tease him, but isn’t it hilarious?”
-Uh, um…
-Now I get why Han Tae-hwa got scratched up, upvote;;
Viewers usually laugh off stuff like this… but even they were speechless watching my play, so yeah, I must’ve been pretty pathetic back then.
-But why’s he so good at Sin Executioner?
“Physical carry. The theory wasn’t bad, and suddenly his physicals shot up… With that physical, he’d have to die if he couldn’t do it.”
“Hey, you got better physicals from mutation too…!”
“You think I’m like you? You’re a Dragon, I’m an Oni-type Mutant?”
“What’s the difference? Our physical abilities are about the same anyway.”
At my words, Tae-hoon looked at me like I’d said the most ridiculous thing.
…Yeah, that was a stretch.
“You know that was a stretch, right?”
“…Yeah. So what’re you gonna do? Restart from a new save file and take down the first boss?”
“Nah? Let’s start from the second boss. Time attack style, first to clear wins.”
“Hey, that’s unfair! You’ve already done this!”
“The physical difference was unfair from the start!”
“You said yourself this game isn’t about physicals.”
“It’s not about physicals, sure, but with your level of physicals, how easy would the game be? A guy who couldn’t even keep a beat did a one-try clear on the first boss—that’s cheating!”
-Wow, looks just like me and my friend talking
-Director acting like this is new lol ㅋㅋㅋㅋ
In the end, I decided to go along with Tae-hoon’s suggestion.
Fine. Let’s see how far you get.
The loser here gets roasted hard.
We saved two save files and stopped right before the second boss.
Tae-hoon went first.
He took down the boss with incredibly clean moves, no wasted actions.
I knew you’d pull this.
When it comes to games, he doesn’t hold back, so I expected him to go all out.
But he’ll regret going first.
I memorized all the patterns watching him play.
And next, my turn. If you already know the patterns and how to counter them…
This isn’t hard.
Of course, easier said now.
…Back then, I knew them and still got wrecked.
-Whoa? Kinda fast?
-Knows all the boss patterns?
“What’s this? You’ve done this before?”
“Just memorized the patterns watching you.”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Cheating hard lol
-No way, playing like possessed lol ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ
-Slapping veteran players in the face level?
-Faster than pros who specialize in this;;
Naturally, I took the record lead. Overwhelmingly.
“Wow, a day like this comes. The great Han Tae-hwa sucks at games more than me.”
“…”
Tae-hoon had a face like the world collapsed.
This guy’s gaming pride could pierce the universe… and it got shattered in front of me.
“Hey, one more time! For the third boss, you go first…!”
“Pathetic, Tae-hwa. Just admit defeat gracefully.”
“Bullshit.”
“Ah, I’ve always wanted to say this.”
“…What.”
“You really suck.”
“!@#$%%^”
His face after getting teabagged was a sight.
…Gotta invite him to game together more often.
This is fun as hell.

{But Tae-hwa-ssi, I have a question.}
“What question?”
Tae-hwa asked at the sudden superchat.
{Do you do well at other PVP games besides this type?}
“What kind? FPS? AOS? I’m good at both.”
-So what’s your tier?
“FPS, hit Transcendent after Blood and Blade filming. AOS, smashed ranks three days ago to Meister.”
-?
-Real?
“Why would I lie about that? FPS nick is JeongChiHaMyeonJeomJim#KR1, AOS is DoGuJuJaeMalDaeGgu#KR1.”
-? You’re that guy?
-See that nick a lot in pro queues?
“Yeah, that’s me. Got into invite-only lobbies a lot… Ah, but I didn’t snipe. Top players are all the same circle, so we just match each other.”
-Yeah matches, famous for ignoring chat and just doing his thing
-So Director’s tier?
“Him? Good judgment, but like I said, fine physicals are trash… So hasn’t ranked in ages. Casual gamer. Was Plat before quitting ranks.”
-ㅋㅋㅋㅋ Deserves the scratch
-Plat saying ‘you suck’ to Meister is gold lol ㅋㅋㅋ
“Psh, different genres, just joking. Ah, Tae-hwa. What if I try ranking now?”
“Dunno. Judgment’s solid, so you’d climb fast if you smashed ranks? Ah, thinking about it is ridiculous… This scrub at my tier?”
“Oh… Gotta try later. Can you teach me theory later?”
“Nope.”
“Hey, I even did your movie because of you, can’t do that much?”
He scratched his head and nodded.
“Ugh, fine, fine.”
-Oh, big one incoming?
-Climbing time?
“I’ll stream it separately later.”
I said that and stepped back from the camera a bit. It was Yoo Jin’s stream, but me and Tae-hoon were taking too much spotlight, so time to bow out.
…Probably too late, but still.
After that, we made Yoo Jin play various games.
To see just how bad she was.
And…
“No, that’s not how you do it!”
“Eek! This unnie’s killing me! Help!”
“AHAHAHA!”
“Pfft…!”
Ha-rin and I burst out laughing watching her.
These two have surprisingly good chemistry.
Gamer-noob and gamer-pro insane collab, I guess…
And the viewers’ reactions to it?
Obviously great.
Especially people screaming ecstasy when Tae-hoon played, but spewing curses from frustration the moment Yoo Jin touched keyboard and mouse—that was today’s highlight.
Thus, the stream ended with Yoo Jin getting roasted by Tae-hoon till the very end.
