No matter how hard I thinkI think I missed something. Ill be right back. [I] raised my hand and spoke when [I] saw Dawons crumpled forehead as he resolutely looked forward with his arms crossed over his chest.

The fact that the boss will continue to revive even as we kill him using various methods means that this approach isnt working.

Anyway, [I] dont know which bastard made this Dungeon, but, seeing how the undead ambled comfortably around, they must have a horrible personality. Usually after a new Dungeon has been released for several years, the contents within wont seem so terrifyingbut especially when youre trying to master a new raid, ones first impressions can ruin further experiences. Users become desperate, stuck to one room or approach.

If there was a problem, rather than continuously pouring energy into meaningless efforts[Id] rather go on a quest to trigger a new scenario while [I] still had the stamina left.

Dawon-hyung probably already had this idea before [I] thought of it. He was probably contemplating who to send. However, Dawon-hyung didnt nod his head in agreement when [I] voiced the logical solution.

Huh? That kinda hurts [my] pride? He doesnt trust [me]?

Across the room, Bang Eunji threw down the gunblade from her shoulders and crossed to my side, pretending to mumble to herself. Eunji thinks she can do way betterJung Garam, who lacks stamina, dies immediately in one hitbut Eunji can take a few shots

Is this bitch so bored shes picking fights with [me]?

But Bang Eunji, unlike her fierce criticism, wandered aimlesslyher eyes glued to the groundtired but pretending otherwise.

Shes always like that, so [I] wondered if something was wrong in her headbut there were probably more things wrong with her than just her brain. [I] ignored what she said since [I] didnt want to get tangled up in another fight.

Though [I] tried to ignore her remarks, Bang Eunji continued, Do you admit that its the truth, Jung Garam? She smiled bleakly at the ground.

Dawon looked briefly at her and shook his head, Bang Eunji needs to stay with me.

At his rejection, Bang Eunjis cheeks turned red and she quietly withdrew. [I] dont know how she interpreted hyungs wordsYou cant be controlled without me present? Maybe?

Whats funny is that when she speaks to other people, Bang Eunji always looks at the ground or the sky. With Dawon, she can bear to look at his face?

However, Dawon-hyung still refused to grant [my] leave after he ruled out Bang Eunji.

Why is he making things so uncomfortable like this? [I] already offered

As [I] followed his gaze, [I] could see Kyung-siks half-broken golem. Is hyung worried that with [my] departure and with the golems steady path towards destruction, there would be a greater burden on the partys other strikers if [I], one of the main damage dealers, leave?

With a big grin, [I] bragged, Ill be back before the Golem shatters.

Can you break through on your own?

Ah[I] love everything about this hyung except for one thing: he always manages to say things [I] despise hearing. How many times do [I] have to prove myself so that the others wont doubt [my] ability

The teasing glint in Dawon hyungs eyes informed [me] that he was provoking [my] anger on purpose.

Weve already cleared the way once. How could I not be able to break through. [Im] not some kind of jerk Hunter who only knows how to notch a crossbow.

Besides, [I] acted alone before entering this guild. [I] have far more aptitude for solo-play than party-play. Sure, the level of difficulty is much higher alone, but [my] excitement trumped [my] fear.

Dawon slowly scanned [my] confident expression. Come back quickly?

Yes, yes~ [I] refitted the Armguard of Jubilant Permission on [my] forearms.

Suddenly, [I] heard Bae Jaemins voice from behind. Ill come with you.

Stop trying to preach at me.

His words overlapped with what Bae Jaemin had said a few mornings ago at the guild research center.

After that day he avoided all eye contact with me, so [I] didnt bother with himOnly troublesome things can arise from volunteering to follow [me] back into the route: for example, a one-sided apology show.

[I] really hated others evaluating Bae Jaemins personality as nice,; since that bastard spoke as if he was the main character in a youth drama, rather than a proper conversation it felt like he was reciting lines off of some script. [I] was also annoyed at how he used [me] and our conflicts in crafting a perfect image for himself.

So, early that morning, [I] advised him to fix his peculiar disparities, but he lept into an absurd temper tantrum

Inwardly, [I] felt refreshed.

[I] happily noticed that beyond that mask he was something humanfestering inferiority complexes like any other person. Additionally, it always felt good to metaphorically kick a prick for no good reason.

The next day, when he awkwardly avoided my line of sight, [I] also pretended to be socially debilitated by that same awkwardness. [I] cared little for our fight, honestly, but [I] worried that if I acted casually, Bae Jaemin would once again try and engage me in that fake, rehearsed manner.

But looking at him offering to follow [me]Is he gradually trying to act all nice again?! Would he babble on about how he was unusually harsh that dayhow he was uncharacteristically upset?

Fucker.

[I] immediately turned to hyung and begged him with my eyes, Please reject him!

Then, Ill leave it to the two of you.

But.. [I] whined.

However, Dawon hyung chicly ignored my pleading eyes.

Damn itHyung, are you caring about guild harmony and inter compatibility just because youre the guild master?

But, instead of lecturing us on the nature of friendship, Dawon hyung grabbed [me] by the shoulders and talked in that disgusting cheesy voice of his coupled with that devastatingly handsome face. Dont get hurt, okay?

Ah, hyung! [Im] not gay!

But, [I] couldnt stop my cheeks from blushing. I wont get hurt! If I get back without injury, give me a billion more in the cut! Flustered, [I] quickly escaped.

Ah. Goosebumps. Seriously.

When [I] first met hyung, [I] thought hed be the type to not care whether or not [I] diedthat sort of dry relationship was comfortable for me.

Since [I] joined the guild, however, hes treated [me] like a real brothersomehow, it hurts [my] pride that [I] dont dislike that kind of treatment. Recently, [Ive] realized how [my] feelings are being swayed by this sort of family play.

The latest_epi_sodes are on_the . website.

Since when did Dawon hyung know [me] well enough to bait me like that? Perhaps [Im] being sensitive, but [I] hate that subconscious desire to be intimate with another.

Especially that vague desire for family, friendship, love..

Ugh, its pretty hair-raising to be conscious of that weakness. It crossed [my] mind that this way of thinking is what makes Bae Jaeminwho was desperate to be regarded highly in this fieldand [I] clash too often.

Originally, [I] was going to speed through whether or not Bae Jaemin followed, but some lingering attachment changed [my] mind. [I] waited until he caught up.

Though the two of us walked alone for at least 10 minutes, Bae Jaemin did not readily offer conversation. [I] thought he was going to start offering useless information about himself and his backstory. [I] was going to suggest, If you dont bother with me, I wont provoke you either. Lets just create a cordial relationship with each other.

Instead, [I] warned, Only step on the blue blocks. Sadly, we were stuck in a situation where [I] had to make the first overtures of conversation. When [we] entered the trap room, the mechanics of the traps were randomized and reset.

But this bastard Bae Jaemin acted as if he didnt hear me yet still followed my advice.

What the fuck is that?

I mean, I had hoped just now that hed ignore me for the rest of his life, but I didnt expect him to be so petty about it.

Why dont you at least answer me?

..

Wow, theres two of us here, but one is sulkinghow aggravating. I glanced at Bae Jaemin out of the corners of my eyes, and he stared back without breaking eye contact.

His eyes werent hooded with kowtowing shadows as always, but, rather, his eyes had a glass-bead-like quality to it that seemed to scrutinize our every interaction, pressing at [my] buttons.

How cheeky. How very Bae Jaemin-like.

Oh, is this another instance where Im supposedly preaching at you? Is that why youre not responding? [I] regurgitated that famous line from our conflict earlier this morning. At the same time, Bae Jaemins footsteps quieted.

TL: Jung Garam has such a potty mouth~
