I have a question because I remember playing games on the first day. Do Korean kids only play LoL or Starcraft?
"Um…what else?"
"Dungeon Fighter, Sudden Attack…."
…oh my god.
I have to play a game that suits my taste to even continue the story… but somehow, I've never even played any of them properly.
I stopped playing Starcraft because that guy Minwoo kept telling me to play it without resting, and when I won, he would tease me and curse at me, and when I lost, he would get angry and say we should do it again. I just didn't play Dungeon & Fighter, and I don't play Sudden Attack because I'm not good at FPS. I heard about League of Legends, or LoL for short, for the first time and tried to play it, but as soon as I started playing, the room I went into got cursed at so much that I stopped playing.
"Don't you play other games?"
"I do, but I do a lot of things I can do with my friends."
"Uh… is that so?"
"Do you play games too, Sister?"
Still, it was the right thing to bring up the game as a topic, and Kyungsoo asked the question without making the atmosphere feel awkward like before.
"I used to like it… but I don't do it much these days."
"What did you do?"
"hmm…."
I told Kyungsoo all the games I remember playing. Fighting games, RPGs, racing games, etc.
"…Playing games makes you look very manly?"
"Well… yeah, that's right."
It can't be helped. Of course.
"But do you like fighting games?"
"Huh? Yeah."
Kyungsoo asked, wondering if it was because there were a lot of fighting-related games among those just mentioned.
I like fighting games, even though I'm not very good at them. One of them was quite popular on overseas servers.
It's a game that exists in Korea, but while I was studying abroad, I found out that there was an overseas server, so I went around competing against rankers on the overseas servers, and I played with a win rate of around 80-90%... It was the game that I played the most in my life.
"What kind of fighting games do you like? Have you played KOF?"
"Of course I've done that. It's been around for a long time… How far have you gotten? I don't know because it's been a while since I last did it."
"I don't know how many episodes there are. What was the last one that came out so far? Oh, do you want to play a game with me? It's on my computer."
"huh?"
Oh, is this how the conversation is going to go…?
The technique is so old that I don't even remember it, but let's give it a try… .
I feel like this might be an opportunity to become closer.
Just like that, I went to Kyungsoo's room, which is now mine, and turned on the computer and started playing a game.
I brought an extra chair from the living room, but there was only one keyboard, so it was a little uncomfortable and my hands kept touching each other, but I didn't have time to worry about that, so I shouted while making a clicking sound with my hands as I typed on the keyboard.
"Ouch! It's dangerous!"
"Ah! Don't use that!"
My character's stamina was so low that I pressed all the directional keys to move my character, making it so that Kyungsoo couldn't move at all.
This is a trick that takes advantage of the limitation of the keyboard's ability to recognize simultaneous key inputs!
… but in the end I lost.
"What's wrong with you… why are you so good at this?"
"I also like fighting games and I used to play them all the time."
My pride was hurt when I saw Kyungsoo laughing while talking.
Damn it… I even used tricks and still lost.
You're really good... You keep using combos, so I force you to break the combos by tricking you with your keyboard inputs, and I prevent you from using your ultimate move, but you still lose...
I did something really cowardly… .
"…Now that I think about it, I think I was really cowardly earlier."
"So don't do that."
"I'll do it specially for you."
But since I don't use it, I'm really going to die without being able to do anything.
Why are you so good at this!
It's so good that it makes you wonder if KOF was originally this kind of game.
"…Do you want to do something else?"
"…huh."
Eventually, perhaps because he felt sorry for me, Kyungsoo turned off the game and changed it to a cooperative game for two people.
But this is also very well done.
… If you turn on the game I'm good at, I can play with you until you can't do anything, but you're so cowardly that you only turn on the game you're good at.
"Sister, you're good at games."
Even if you say such things, it doesn't make me happy at all.
Oh my god.
Is today a bad day? Why is it like this?
No GameCube? If you rush in with a Smabra, I'm confident you can win even with 9 of these guys.
By the way, my main character is Luigi.
"Oh, he's dead."
But since I was playing the game, I didn't have time to think about anything else, so I felt a little better.
As my mood improved, something else made me feel worse.
This kid is playing Metal Slug and he's been giving me the tank and camel ever since.
As a gamer, this kind of unnecessary consideration is humiliating.
But I'm still going to ride it.
"Ah! Stop tackling me, unnie."
"Kuuuuuu... Soccer starts with a tackle and ends with a tackle."
When it came to soccer games, I was particularly weak at this type of sports game, so I first learned how to tackle, gave up on scoring goals, and started enjoying massacring players.
By the time about 5 people were injured, the score was 0:5.
Heh, scores and such… are useless.
I will give flesh and break bones!
"Sister, you don't know how to play soccer?"
"huh."
In the end, we lost 0:7.
By the way, while I was playing a game earlier, I felt like something was going to be advantageous to me, so I looked to see what was going on, and he was always looking at my chest… Does he think I won't be caught?
Maybe it's because we're playing games so close together with only one keyboard, but he's looking down at my chest to the point of being blatant.
"Tsk."
As expected, high school students are healthy. As I thought about that, an unpleasant thought came to mind and I clicked my tongue.
Oh, no. Kyungsoo is a completely different person, so it's a bit strange that he's doing this just because he's a high school student...
Maybe it was because I was playing a game and it was the moment when I made the mistake, but Kyungsoo didn't seem to notice.
While I was playing games and passing the time, I heard the door opening from the front door, indicating that the landlord had come home.
"Oh, you're back."
"Huh? Oh, yeah."
It's quite late, but I wonder what the old man does. If you think about it, he goes to work very early and gets off work very late.
I'm curious, but I guess there's no need to ask that.
I immediately gave the old man 100,000 won.
"Huh? Oh, yeah. Did they send you some money from home?"
"Oh, yes."
"I'll calculate the water and electricity bill later, so pay me then."
"yes…."
I guess I also have to pay water bills. I didn't have to pay when I lived in the school dormitory and I didn't really hear anything about it, so I was wondering…
If you think about it carefully… no, without even thinking about it, it would be natural to have to pay a certain amount of water bill.
"Don't suffer too much outside, and go back home when you can and see what happens."
"yes…."
It's a word that somehow feels like it has a story.
As soon as he got home, the man took off his clothes, put on his underwear, and started watching TV in the living room.
"Oh, really! Put some clothes on!"
"Hey, where did you get this big shout out to dad?"
Kyungsoo shouted at the old man, perhaps out of embarrassment, when he saw him wearing only underwear, and the old man started to get angry, perhaps because he didn't like that.
Wow, a fight broke out. I thought so, but it ended with Kyungsoo going into his room after a brief argument.
It seemed like I had gone into the room and closed the door out of habit, but it was the room I was currently staying in.
Don't go in there!
I wanted to get out of the way too… but I lost the player.
… I didn't think I could escape somewhere, so I had no choice but to sit in the living room for a while and watch TV with my uncle.
The old man happened to be watching a sports broadcast, which is the type of broadcast I am least interested in. It was a baseball broadcast.
"Is it worth living?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah. That's okay."
"okay?"
… I thought he was going to suddenly start talking, but that was the end of the conversation.
As the silence continued, it became too awkward and I felt like I couldn't stand it any longer, so I decided to speak first.
"What do you do, sir?"
"What do you do? You just do odd jobs."
… How on earth should I react?
This old man only says things that are difficult to answer, so it's hard to have a conversation.
What on earth do you do?
"Hey…."
The old man clicked his tongue and rubbed his shoulder with one hand several times as if it hurt, as if the team he was rooting for had lost a point.
When I saw that, a good idea came to me and I sat down, put my knees up, and walked behind the old man.
"Would you like me to rub your shoulders?"
To be honest, I'm not sure if I should score some points with the landlord. More importantly, I don't have any money.
The landlord listened to what I said, looked at me for a moment, and then offered me his shoulder.
"I'd like it if you rubbed it."
Immediately I started rubbing his shoulders.
Massage is my specialty. What should I say, I can feel it when I touch it. It's tense here, I think, I should knead it this hard.
Each person's muscles feel different when touched, and when you touch them, you can feel where some areas are more tense than others. And when you knead them, you can tell how hard you have to knead them to feel pain or relief based on their reaction.
Even though I look like this, I always heard from my cousin who was discharged that if I go to the military, I will be designated as a massage soldier by my senior and suffer every day.
Although I have never formally learned massage techniques, I think I am pretty good at it.
After giving him a little massage, I noticed that not only his shoulders but also his back was quite stiff. However, I couldn't just tell him to lie down on the floor and massage her back, so I continued to massage his shoulders.
"Oh, good… where did you learn that?"
"Huh? No, I didn't learn it."
"Well done…."
As the saying goes, compliments make even whales dance, so I feel a little better, perhaps because I am weak to compliments.
When I touched him, his neck seemed to be more stiff than his shoulders, so I started rubbing his neck. As I did so, the man gradually bent his back, as if he was trying to relax his body.
"Young lady, you have strong jaws."
"Well, I hear that often."
Since her strength is not much different from that of a man, she is quite strong for a woman.
In particular, the grip strength is quite strong, so when I rubbed my neck, it was so stiff that I applied too much force.
The old man was quietly receiving the massage I was giving him, and when the baseball game was over, he turned off the TV and said:
"You're better than our son. Are you tired? Go and rest."
"Oh, yes."
Since my hands were starting to get tired, I stopped the massage right away.
… I wonder if they'll cut things like the water bill.
The old man went into the bedroom. He must be trying to sleep.
I couldn't stay in the living room alone, and I was starting to feel sleepy, so I went back to my room.
"Excuse me… Could you open the door?"
The door to the room was locked, so I knocked and after a while the door opened.
The computer was on and I could see the game screen, so I guess he was playing a game.
This room is where I am staying now, but it was originally Gyeongsu's room. So even though I was staying in a boarding house, I felt like I was going into someone else's room.
"What about father…?"
"Uh… You seem to be sleeping. Aren't you asleep yet? What about school tomorrow?"
"I'll just do this and sleep well."
Wow, here we go. The excuse everyone makes. I'll just do this and sleep.
I wonder if I can really go to sleep after just one round… I've stayed up all night more than once just thinking about playing just one more round.
Anyway, since I had nothing to do, I lay down on the bed. The original owner was right in front of me, but while I was staying there, it was just like my bed.
"Ha... ah. Ah... do you have any comic books or something?"
The original owner of the room was Kyungsoo, but I felt bad about kicking him out because I wanted to sleep, so I decided to read a comic book while I finished playing the game.
Kyungsoo seemed to be in the middle of an online game, but he let his character die and went to find me a comic book.
… If you think about it, it's a bit like a cartoon. A beautiful college student with big breasts comes to live with you as a boarder and you and I are alone in a room together in the middle of the night! It's not like this is some Japanese adult movie script.
I'm jealous. I want to be in that situation too… .
I laid a blanket and pillow on my stomach and neck to prevent my chest from being pressed against my body and hurting, and I lay face down on the bed, reading a comic book, waiting for the game to end, but as expected, Kyungsoo started a new game after finishing one game.
At first, I started reading comic books with the intention of waiting, but as I became sleepy and couldn't see the words, I lost the desire to read them.
"Kyungsoo, the game isn't over yet…?"
"Uh… Seriously, I'll just do this one."
… Well, at that age, games are everything. I'll play for a while and then sleep when I get sleepy.
After that, I tried to hold out a little longer, but when I started to lose consciousness as if I was taking a class at school, I covered myself with the blanket and lay down on the bed, closing my eyes.
Rather than waiting for it to end, I think it would be better to just go to sleep first.
♀ ♂ ♀ ♂ ♀ ♂
When I woke up in the morning, the blanket was lying right where my feet were, as if I had kicked it away while I was sleeping.
Maybe my sleeping habits have gotten worse. Now that I think about it, I think I had a rather unpleasant dream.
I don't remember what it was about.
"Ugh… my stomach hurts."
It seemed like he had kicked off the blanket while he was sleeping and his shirt had pulled up a little, so when he woke up, his stomach was completely exposed.
I felt like I was going to get a stomachache, so I pulled the blanket over my stomach for a moment and covered it with my stomach, and then when my body was warm enough, I fell asleep again.
… there is no human being in this world who wakes up, covers himself with the blanket, and doesn't fall back asleep!
I closed my eyes and slept a little longer, but then my cell phone alarm rang and I got up from my bed.
…I have to cook for Gyeongsu as the landlord tells me to.
Somehow, after paying all 300,000 won, it started to feel like something I didn't need to do, but I guess I should do it anyway...
I opened the closed door and went out to the living room, where I saw a blanket spread out. Kyungsoo must have gone out to the living room to sleep after I fell asleep, or he was lying down there.
Has the old man already gone out to work?
I went to the bathroom to wash my face, roughly tied up my hair, put on the underwear that had become disheveled while I was sleeping, and came out of the bathroom.
When I opened the refrigerator, it was no different from yesterday. It seemed like the landlord hadn't bought anything new.
…Should I make scrambled eggs and bean sprout soup?
There's no other menu that comes to mind with the ingredients I see in my fridge right now.
Bean sprout soup is harder than you think. It's easy to make, but it's really hard to get rid of the fishy smell of bean sprouts while still keeping the flavor.
If I may reveal the secret to a slightly delicious bean sprout soup, it is in the lid of the pot.
… Even if you know it, it's not very useful because the taste depends on the individual's experience. For reference, I have a 50% chance of making bean sprout soup delicious.
As I was preparing breakfast, Kyungsoo woke up.
"ah…."
"Are you awake?"
"Uh…yes."
The atmosphere feels awkward for some reason… I thought we became a little closer while playing the game.
Kyungsoo went to the bathroom to wash his face and came out with wet hair, probably because he had washed his hair. In the meantime, I finished cooking and set the table, then sat down on the chair and waited for Kyungsoo to sit down in front of me.
"Uh… I'll eat well."
"thank you for this food."
The bean sprout soup turned out well today.
How is it? It's delicious!
I checked Kyungsoo's reaction while looking at it, and it seemed like Kyungsoo was enjoying it too. The soup disappeared quickly.
Hmm!
From a cook's perspective, there is no better compliment than receiving a clean meal.
Looking at the clean dishes makes me feel good for some reason… .
"…I ate well."
"Oh, I'll clean it up."
Kyungsoo didn't listen to me and put his plate in the sink after finishing his meal, went into the bedroom, changed his clothes, and left the house.
Anyway, I have to clear the table and wash the dishes after the meal, so it doesn't matter if I just clear it myself.
"Have a nice trip."
"Uh…I'll be back."
After Kyungsoo left the house, I thought while washing the dishes.
… Didn't something seem awkward?
I thought we became a little closer yesterday, but is he embarrassed because he's a high school student?
By the way, I don't really have anything to do, so what should I do for the time being?
… What should I really do to pass the time?
