Chapter 84

What? My baby?

The Miyoung-crazed guy’s eyes went round.

(CH03) 0momo0: Why.. why??

(CH03) 0momo0: Did something happen??

(CH03) 0momo0: What happened???

(CH03) Miu: ㅠㅠ

What was really going on? The thought of what could be serious enough for Miu to even use “ㅠㅠ” made his heart instantly ache.

(CH03) 0momo0: Did finding the spy suddenly get hard??

(CH03) 0momo0: No, being leader is hard, right??ㅠㅠㅠ

(CH03) 0momo0: Hurry and tell me

(CH03) 0momo0: What’s wrong

(CH03) Miu: Momo, the truth is...

What kind of problem was it for him to drag it out like that? This was someone who had never once said he was having a hard time, even while juggling his café part-time job and the game.

Is he sick? Or is it family stuff? Is it something I can help with? What is it?

Just as Mo Yeonhoo’s expression grew quite serious, he froze at the chat that followed.

(CH03) Miu: The truth is, I’m too softhearted and mentally fragile

(CH03) Miu: So dealing with people is the hardest thing in the world for me

(CH03) Miu: And I have such a hard time mixing with people that I can barely even play games...

Mo Yeonhoo was confused.

For someone like that, he’s pretty good at grinding people down... No, pretty good at dealing with people....

While he sat there speechless, more chats came up one after another.

(CH03) Miu: Anyway, I kind of worked you hard, didn’t I?

(CH03) Miu: The truth is, I don’t really know how to build relationships... so while I was trying to get closer to you, Momo, I think I treated you a little roughly.... ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) I thought that was how people got close..

(CH03) Miu: At some point, treating you roughly became so hard that I cried every night

(CH03) Miu: Because I’m really this softhearted and I get lonely easily too..

Mo Yeonhoo was not lying when he said he reread those sentences about seven times. But no matter how many times he read them, they were hard to understand.

Then again, the Miyoung he knew definitely looked delicate and fragile on the outside, but in the game...

[(Sniper) Miu: I’m asking because I’m curious]

[(Sniper) Miu: Are you a human being?]

Was he not rather intense?

[(Sniper) Miu: You shot at the bomb and triggered a wipe for the 24th time? lol My corpse probably doesn’t even have pieces left anymore]

[(Sniper) Miu: I told you so many times to watch out for the wipe, and you still triggered it again... Isn’t your fucking head screwed on wrong?]

[(Sniper) Miu: At this level of trolling, you’re basically saying, “I hope everyone playing with me gets fucked,” right?]

[(Sniper) Miu: If you don’t plan to play the game, stop messing around and just die?]

[(Sniper) Miu: Don’t waste other people’s time lol?]

Not just intense. Fucking intense....

(CH03) Miu: You had a hard time because of me, right?ㅠㅠ

(CH03) Miu: I really do think you and I are one team now, Momo

(CH03) Miu: So I think you can stop thinking about those clauses and just move freely with meㅠㅠ

(CH03) Miu: I wanted to stick close to you anyway, because going around alone without you made me feel so lonely too

(CH03) Miu: But I had to grind you down as a spy, so I had to keep my distance, and it was so hard..

(CH03) Miu: ㅠㅠㅠ

But after learning Miu’s true feelings and struggles, Mo Yeonhoo was startled.

Fucking intense Miyoung? What the hell was I thinking about my baby rabbit?

How dare he think Miyoung was vicious.

(CH03) Miu: I really wanted to go around with youㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ 𝑓𝑟ℯℴ𝓂

(CH03) 0momo0: Baby, why are you cryingㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

(CH03) 0momo0: Don’t cryㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ

He wanted to go around with me in the game? My god.

Seeing Miu cry made Mo Yeonhoo’s heart ache all over again.

(CH03) 0momo0: I didn’t have a hard time at all

(CH03) 0momo0: It was super fun!!!

(CH03) 0momo0: I’m so happy I’ll be able to go around with Miu from now on!!

(CH03) 0momo0: I’ll stick right by you!!!

(CH03) Miu: Really?

(CH03) 0momo0: Yeah, yeah!!!

(CH03) Miu: But I worked you so hard..

(CH03) 0momo0: When?????

(CH03) 0momo0: I seriously only remember being happy

The Miyoung-crazed guy’s faith might waver for a moment, but.

(CH03) 0momo0: Me? haha

It would never break.

(CH03) 0momo0: Miu?

(CH03) 0momo0: ??

(CH03) 0momo0: Are you AFK??? Huh?? Where did you go..???

But Miu said nothing. Only after Mo Yeonhoo sent another question mark did he finally react.

(CH03) Miu: hahaha, ahaha;; no, I’m here

(CH03) Miu: But Momo, you’re a wom—

(CH03) 0momo0: Yeah

(CH03) Miu: N-no, you really seem to like me?

(CH03) Miu: Is there maybe a reason?

Miu rarely made typos, so the mistake struck him as strange. Was it just his imagination, or did Miu seem flustered even through text?

He must be embarrassed.

Whatever it was, he was truly cute.

But, did he really seem to like Miu?

How could I not like him when he’s this cute?

In his world, not liking Miu was something that could not happen.

(CH03) Miu: Momo????

But he could not stay buried in his thoughts. It was only natural to answer questions like this quickly.

(CH03) 0momo0: Of course I like Miu so, so, so much!

(CH03) 0momo0: First, because you’re cute and good at the game!!

(CH03) 0momo0: Second, I think you manage the alliance so thoroughly! Like a king, maybe?? You’re so cool!

(CH03) Miu: What do you mean by like a king, exactly?

(CH03) 0momo0: I mean Miu’s totally overflowing with charisma!

(CH03) Miu: Ah, charisma..

(CH03) 0momo0: Yeah, yeah. Especially because you’re really good at working people, Miu. Sometimes it’s so realistic and vicious that I thought slavery had been revived??? Ah! I don’t mean that in a bad way!

(CH03) Miu: Slavery?????

(CH03) 0momo0: It’s an attitude I should learn from!!

(CH03) Miu: What??????

(CH03) Miu: Slavery??????

(CH03) 0momo0: No, not slavery haha. I mean your leadership!! Using human resources wonderfully is a virtue for a leader, isn’t it?

(CH03) 0momo0: Anyway, I mean all of it is cool!

(CH03) Miu: Ah..

(CH03) 0momo0: Yeah, yeah

(CH03) 0momo0: Huh?

(CH03) 0momo0: ??

(CH03) 0momo0: Miu?

After that, Miu was silent again for a while. Only after Mo Yeonhoo called him several times did Miu continue the conversation.

(CH03) Miu: Ahaha... I was lost in thought for a second.. Anyway, I see haha..?

(CH03) Miu: Let’s stay close in the alliance from now on too and get along well hahaha;;

(CH03) Miu: And you don’t have to keep those weird slave...

(CH03) Miu: No, those clauses anymore either. We can pretend none of it happened haha. You can get along with me and stick close to me

(CH03) Miu: Ah, just in case, I’ll say it again. You know those clauses were a joke, right?

(CH03) Miu: I just picked up random stuff from the internet. I’m seriously joking. It was a joke

(CH03) Miu: Everything I said back then was a joke too, okay?

A whole string of explanations came one after another.

Miu’s lively today, huh?

The things he was saying were a little odd, but Mo Yeonhoo was fine with anything.

(CH03) 0momo0: Okay!! But how do we explain it to the alliance members now??

Mo Yeonhoo quietly switched chat tabs.

(Alliance) ShinJadu: No, where did this guy go??

(Alliance) 1Poop1: ??????? That’s what I’m saying?

(Alliance) dude: ? I haven’t been logging in much lately, so I dunno what’s going on

(Alliance) dude: The leader picked up Momo, who he suspected was a spy?..

(Alliance) dude: Does he believe Momo isn’t a spy now..?

(Alliance) MouseTrap: Damn, exactly. Something must have happened, huh...?

(Alliance) 1Poop1: It’s 3 a.m.

(Alliance) 1Poop1: What if the leader actually beat the shit out of him, put him in an incapacitated state, and brought him by helicopter??

(Alliance) FUNK: I agree with Poop

As expected, the alliance chat was still discussing Miu and Mo Yeonhoo.

(CH03) 0momo0: See, everyone in alliance chat thinks it’s weird

(CH03) Miu: You mean it bothers you to get along with me because of how the alliance members will look at it? Because of another possible spy?

(CH03) Miu: If we solve just that, then you can stick close to me and get along with me?

(CH03) 0momo0: Yeah, that’s right..?

(CH03) Miu: If that’s all, we can solve it quickly

(CH03) 0momo0: How???

There was no way that was possible. Everyone was this worked up.

(Alliance) Miu: Everyone

(Alliance) Miu: I have something to say

Still, it’s Miu, so he’ll explain it rationally.

Mo Yeonhoo was a little worried, but he trusted Miu. He would somehow untangle this situation naturally.

(Alliance) Miu: You all know this, right?

(Alliance) Miu: Even within the alliance, I’ve always been merciful, kind, interested in others, affectionate, and prone to tears, haven’t I?

...Huh?
