Chapter 39
Since Ji-won had already given permission to ride it, Kwon-ju figured he wouldn’t mind taking pictures with other guild members, so he quickly typed out two initial consonants. When permission was granted, an excited Chelling positioned himself next to the majestic Silver Wolf, then suddenly pulled out a large sun bed that looked like something you’d only use at the beach.
[Hando: ??]
[Chelling: Ah~ What a spectacular view]
Then Chelling laid their character down on the sun bed. Not stopping there, they even struck a V pose, and then went silent for a while, presumably taking screenshots. How long are you going to take pictures? Having successfully secured the mount, Kwon-ju wanted to log off now, but it seemed awkward to suddenly disappear, so he just stood still. That’s when Chelling suddenly put away the sun bed and spoke.
[Chelling: But Sasa is always online at this time, but not today]
[Chelling: Guild Master, do you know anything about it?]
At the sudden mention of himself, Kwon-ju glanced at the other computer where he had transferred the gold and logged out immediately. Maybe he should’ve just left it logged in. He’d gone offline immediately after logging in to avoid being messaged. Since he was usually always online at this time, it might seem suspicious that he hadn’t connected without any prior notice. Especially during an event like the Guild Master’s mount auction.
[Hando: Nn no]
[Chelling: T_T You’re always taking care of him]
[Chelling: Our guild’s greatest newbie-lover^^]
Regardless of the item, he was a user who had just started playing, and all the guild members had been taking good care of him. Among them, Ji-won, as Guild Master who also knew him in real life, paying attention to a close junior wasn’t something special considering his kind nature. And yet…
“Hah…”
Exhaling what sounded like a sigh, Kwon-ju rested his head on his arms on the desk. It was just a story from inside a game, but hearing such words from a third party made his throat hopelessly warm. Even though it was clearly a term used without any deeper meaning. After childishly running his fingers over the word “lover,” he felt embarrassment wash over him.
Even while busy thinking about Ji-won’s face, Kwon-ju raised his hand and rapidly typed “k” several times, worried that a break in chat might seem strange.
[Hando: kkkkk]
[Chelling: Usually he only runs dungeons all dayT_T]
[Chelling: After saying event games are boring as hell and the same things get recycled, he still went to play them with Sasa every day]
[Chelling: What kind of Guild Master is this??^_^]
With that playful smiling emoticon, the person behind Ji-won’s character ended up burying his face on the desk.
He told me he enjoyed it. He played together without showing any sign of dislike. It was something Kwon-ju couldn’t even imagine doing himself. When you like someone, you follow them around nervously, get dragged along, and forget about discomfort or dislikes. But hyung doesn’t even like me. The saddest fact was that all these actions came naturally to him, like an ingrained kindness.
How can someone be like this? If he’d initially planned to give up on his feelings, he wouldn’t have followed him all the way to university, but it was unbearable how his feelings grew stronger with each passing day. It kept making him foolishly hopeful.
[Ddaji: Event games are truly boring]
[Chelling: Agreed lolololol]
[Chelling: But a newbie who enjoys everything is cute^^]
Lest it seem like they were gossiping about someone who wasn’t present, Chelling added that newbies deserve to enjoy event games.
[Ppojjo: But you got what you wanted, Guild Master]
[Ppojjo: Where did you suddenly get the gold from?]
What should I say to this? Since I gave it freely, is it technically a gift? Faced with an unexpected question from a guild member, Kwon-ju fell into contemplation. If he suddenly said he received it as a gift, they would ask who gave it to him. But he couldn’t admit he had lied earlier…
[Hando: A loan..]
After typing it, he suddenly came to his senses. What did I just send? He had inadvertently made hyung look like someone who would take out a loan to buy a game mount.
[Hando: From my storage hahaha]
[Chelling: Lololol?]
[Ddaji: So you only had 1.88 million in your inventory?]
He hurriedly tried to fix it, and fortunately, none of the guild members seemed to be taking it seriously. They appeared to be laughing it off, but the important thing wasn’t right now—it was tonight when Ji-won would return from his team project, or tomorrow morning.
He wasn’t someone who played the game casually; he had a YouTube channel, community presence, and guild members, so it would be impossible to silence everyone. With a character that only had 1.88 million gold winning an auction for 2.5 million gold, people were bound to ask where the rest of the money came from…
His mind went blank as no excuse came to mind. It would be truly nice to see hyung happy about getting the mount, but… how to handle this situation?
[Hando: I have an appointment so I’ll be heading out]
For now, log out, log out.

Title: Lost the Silver Wolf lolol
Author: 5thRankedSpiritMasterCheongJiin
Know why I posted about taking out a loan on the general board?
It meant I really wanted it
How many bullets did I load lololol And they win the mount auction with just 2 million gold??FML
I thought no way, no way, surely I can’t lose it, no way
But when it kept rising fearlessly to 1.5 million, cold sweat just ran down my spine
F**k our Silver
I was going to consider drawing more loans for up to 2.2 million, but they immediately called 2.5 million so I just surrendered hands and feet……
Going to use the loan money for spec upgrades instead lolol F**k

➥➥ Nah, it’s literally just something to ride.. for fashion or showing off
➥➥ It’s a pet with high movement speed, but you can’t use it in PK fields anyway lol. You can’t even activate skills while mounted…. it’s just for self-satisfaction
➥➥➥ So it’s just pretty garbage..

➥➥➥ ???: Honestly, contractor or whatever, it’s all the f**king same. Must be nice having a YouTuber friend so people suck up to you, right? It’d be weird if he wasn’t good. If I’d started when I was a kid too, I’d be good too, f**kers
➥➥➥ Then deleted the stream and ran lololololololol
➥➥➥ The manager tried to stop him, but it was the fault of those who kept provoking with comparisons, though the response wasn’t good. The other party was a high school student, so public opinion couldn’t be good
➥➥➥➥ I’m still reflecting on this;; I apologized to him personally and it’s over, so stop bringing it up. I admit I was drunk, my mouth slipped, and it was ugly. I just wrote this because I was pissed about losing Silver Wolf, enough already. I’ll delete the post soon;;;
