[Guild][Haeyam] Totggi-nim newly joined yam ㅋ
[Guild][Haeyam] The only guild member Aang-nim was close with in that guild yam ㅇㅅㅇ
Banye didn’t respond to Haeyam’s words either, and just stood still in front of Totggi-nim.
To me, it felt like Banye was kind of glaring at(?) Totggi-nim. It must have been my imagination though…….
[Guild][Totggi] Banye-nim hi ㅋㅋ
[Guild][Totggi] I’ve heard a lot about you! I saw your last video and you were cool!
Totggi-nim approached Banye first and greeted him.
I could see him deliberately throwing compliments at Banye, who he didn’t really know, trying to adapt since he’d newly joined the guild…….
[Guild][Aang] Is it okay to accept just anyone into the guild?
Despite Totggi-nim’s friendly attitude, Banye spoke rudely and made the guild atmosphere cold.
Totggi-nim must have been flustered too, as he sent me a whisper.
[Whisper][Totggi] What is this ㅠ The hazing is insane…
[Whisper][Banyecredit] No… wait a moment! Why is he suddenly being like that;;; Totggi-nim don’t be upset I’ll try talking to him……
I didn’t feel like talking to that guy, but I was also dumbfounded by the sudden stubbornness, and since Banye was the guild master and had strong say in things, I had no choice but to send a whisper.
[Whisper][Banyecredit] Totggi-nim was the only one who was nice to me in Royal Guild…
[Whisper][Banyecredit] He’s not someone who hung out with people like Sisi;
But Banye pretended not to see my whisper and suddenly threw a fit at Haeyam.
[Guild][Aang] From now on when accepting people into the guild talk about it first
[Guild][Haeyam] =ㅅ= What annoying permission yam
[Guild][Haeyam] Then from now on you do the guild recruitment yam
Of course, Haeyam only pretended to listen.
I found that a bit satisfying, but on the other hand, it did bother me a little that Banye was causing friction with Haeyam and Totggi-nim over this.
And I found it really annoying that the guy ignored my whisper.
[Whisper][Banyecredit] ㅡㅡ; Why are you being petty again
[Whisper][Aang] ?
So I asked honestly. Banye played innocent, putting a question mark as if asking when he’d been petty.
[Whisper][Aang] What pettiness
[Whisper][Aang] I’m saying we should filter him out since he’s from that guild
I snorted at those words and frantically typed.
[Whisper][Banyecredit] I already explained all that earlier
[Whisper][Banyecredit] Miin-nim is different from those guild people
[Whisper][Aang] How do you know he didn’t deceive hyung?
At those words, I was about to tell him all the anecdotes with Totggi-nim in detail, but suddenly felt like this conversation was going in circles. How should I put it…… it didn’t seem like what Banye wanted was proof?
So I said what I felt.
[Whisper][Banyecredit] You… whenever I hang out with anyone, you always nitpick like this and interfere
[Whisper][Aang] ?
[Whisper][Banyecredit] And then you say you’re not jealous
[Whisper][Banyecredit] What exactly are you trying to do?
[Whisper][Aang] ㅋㅋ That’s absurd
[Whisper][Banyecredit] I’m the one who finds it more absurd? Don’t confuse me and act properly
Saying that made my cheeks heat up a bit, but fortunately Banye didn’t barge through my door or hurt me with merciless words.
He also stopped picking fights with Totggi-nim for no reason. The guy just went silent, then soon disappeared, whether to film a video or something.
“…….”
And I fell into complicated thoughts.
I was confused whether Banye disappeared because I’d hit a nerve, or whether he decided not to respond because he didn’t want to give me even a shred of hope.
Of course it was probably closer to the latter, but strangely I kept imagining Banye’s expression as he was left speechless and shut his mouth.
‘Is this too much of a happiness circuit…….’
Meanwhile, the guild members also fiercely criticized the disappeared Banye while naturally comforting Totggi-nim.
[Guild][Anajokiwojo] ㅋㅋ As soon as you tell him to do the annoying stuff he runs away
[Guild][Haeyam] Totally does whatever he wants yam =ㅅ=
[Guild][Haeyam] Totggi-nim don’t mind yam ㅇㅅㅇ Banye is originally rude to everyone except Aang-nim yam ㅇㅅㅇ
[Guild][Totggi] ! Yep
[Guild][Banyecredit] ;; He’s like that to me too
[Guild][Neda] What he does to Aang-nim is at the level of aegyo
[Guild][Neda] To us he’s totally bad-tempered
At those words, Totggi-nim asked brightly.
[Guild][Totggi] Are Aang-nim and Banye-nim dating?!
[Guild][Aang] Not at all
[Guild][Anajokiwojo] ㅋㅋ Did you have a lovers’ quarrel again?
“Ugh……!”
But Banye, who would normally have just ignored that comment, went out of his way to coldly deny it.
Thanks to that, my face turned red. It seemed like he’d noticed that I’d been running the happiness circuit even a little bit until now. My face got hot and I felt embarrassed.
But as soon as Totggi-nim heard that, he asked me.
[Guild][Totggi] Oh! Then Aang-nim will you marry me?
[Guild][Totggi] Let’s hunt together too!
[Guild][Banyecredit] Ah that’s…
At that moment, my pride flaring up whispered to me.
‘Who does someone like Banye think he is? I’ll just hang out with Totggi-nim who likes me, showing off.’
“…….”
‘Why did he have to go “not at all” and stab me in front of everyone? Even if he’d said nothing like usual, no one would think I’m really dating him. Always trying to one-up me, never conceding a single word, never once thinking from my perspective. Banye is a fool. I really hate him.’
However, the words that came from my hands were different from my thoughts.
[Guild][Banyecredit] I’m already married to Banye… sorry
[Guild][Banyecredit] If we divorce Banye won’t have anyone to buff him right away;;
[Guild][Totggi] Ah… that’s too bad ㅠㅠ
“……Haah.”
Should I say my head and hands work separately? I hate him, but I didn’t want to just throw it all away depending on my mood.
Of course, if Banye had said [I don’t care if you break it or not] here, it would have been different, but this time Banye also kept quiet without saying anything hateful.
Still, I didn’t delude myself like before. When I thought about it coldly from Banye’s perspective, it would probably be difficult to immediately find someone who would party with him promptly while putting up with all his temper.
That’s why he stayed quiet this time. At this point, finding a party member who would take all his attitude like me would be a headache too.
“……Right.”
There’s no other meaning.
After muttering that several times, I suddenly wondered if I was just a convenient person to Banye.
Then my heart became unbearably heavy. Because I thought I was sick and tired of being a convenient person to someone.
* * *
Tang tang.
“Mmm…….”
When I feel depressed, I usually escape through sleep. Today too, my mood suddenly crashed so I just fell asleep while playing the game.
But I heard the sound of Banye knocking on the door from outside my room. Since I’d been in a light sleep, I woke up right away and slowly got up to open the door.
As expected, Banye was standing outside the door. Banye who lately had somehow become more…… increasingly neat and sparkling day by day.
“……Did you buy clothes?”
“I received them.”
“From where?”
“The PD. Want me to give you one too, hyung?”
“……No.”
I thought maybe, but they really were new clothes.
Looking at Banye’s neater attire, I remembered the clothes I’d tried to gift Banye before.
He returned all the clothes I bought, but just accepts gifts from someone called a PD…… w-wait. PD?
“You met with the Almond TV PD again?”
“Yes. I’ve seen them several times.”
Banye answered as if it was obvious. At those words, I felt somewhat deflated.
“You really signed a contract…….”
“Didn’t I tell you.”
“You didn’t!”
I looked Banye up and down and gulped. Since I’d been curious about a lot of things anyway, questions burst out.
“When did you sign the contract? Huh? Are you going to start filming commercials and stuff now?”
“…….”
But this time too, Banye frustratingly didn’t answer. He just stared at me silently for a while, then instead of answering my questions, he suddenly asked out of the blue.
“Hyung, you didn’t eat lunch today either, right?”
“Huh? D-did I not…….”
“Want to eat dinner outside?”
“……Suddenly?”
“Yes. Let’s eat meat.”
Then he just turned around and left.
I hastily wiped the drool from my mouth first, then changed my clothes. While I was changing clothes, Banye stood at the entrance waiting for me.
And I resolved that while buying Banye meat, I’d interrogate him about what had happened during this time.
