Childhood Friend Who Sees the Future Utters Nonsense

37 – The reason why she started playing the game

I returned home after breaking up with Siyoon Park, locked the door, and immediately called Subin. There was no need for a talk asking for understanding, ‘can I contact you now?’. It was obvious that Subin would be waiting for my call too.

♬~♩

Subin enjoys listening to her own favorite song rather than her trend song. Her old song, but famous as her famous song, resonated with coloring.

Around the time she started to hum along with the melody, her song suddenly cut off and I heard Subin’s voice from across the street.

– It’s Yuna! Are you home?

“Yes, I called as soon as I arrived. Thank you so much for yesterday and today.”

– What are you thankful for? More than that, he did really well today. You seem to be doing better than when you were teaching yesterday?

Perhaps it was because I heard from Siyoon Park that Soobin is a master of this game, and hearing her praise made her feel better. During Park Si-yoon’s time, it was a feeling of shrugging and raising her nose, but now it’s closer to the proud feeling of a young child receiving compliments from teachers or parents.

Yes.

As you can see from the contents of the conversation, in fact, as soon as I got home yesterday, I secretly asked Subin for a favor. It was that Park Si-yoon asked him to teach him in advance about Rega, a game he enjoys playing.

It was possible because I had heard that not only Choi Min-seong but also Soo-bin often played games with Park Si-yoon, but fortunately, Subin was happy to teach me how to have a voice conversation on the spot, and through that, he informed me of the game in real time.

Thanks to that, for the first time in my life, I encountered a bizarre phenomenon where I was stuck playing the game until 3 am, but it was a good time. Even though she wanted to sleep soon because her eyes were puffy, she shouted ‘One more round’ with the desire to keep rising.

“It’s because the teacher taught me well. By the way, I heard from Park Si-yoon, and Subin said you’re really good at it?”

– Oh, not that much. I used to do it a little, but now I only do it occasionally when I’m with friends, so my skills have declined a lot.

Her humble appearance rather aroused more trust in Subin’s skills. Originally, it is said that the more rice ripens, the more it bows its head.

But she definitely knew that even though she was not familiar with games, she was able to tell that Subin was a good person, because she explained very easily when she was teaching me last night. Am.

– Anyway, how was it? I thought Siyoon was surprised?

“When we ate together earlier, he only praised me. They say that she’s just one of the greatest talents of all time, and that she’s been training at a closed school somewhere….”

When she heard it from Park Si-yoon, she just laughed because she was happy, but when she tried to spit the words out of my mouth, she felt a little embarrassed, so her voice became like an ant crawling into it at the end.

On the other hand, after hearing about my criminal record, Subin’s voice rose to a high tone.

– Oh, so the operation was successful?

“Yes, it’s all thanks to you. It was very thrilling to see Park Si-yoon surprised.”

– I think I know what it feels like. Do you feel like you succeeded in sneaking a little?

“Right, right. That’s exactly what it feels like.”

I still vividly recall the scene when she made her first super play and Park Si-yoon looked at me with surprised eyes.

It is rare to see a scene where Park Si-yoon is so surprised. Her quiet personality is like an old child, and it may be even more so because she always lives in an atmosphere that seems to be detached from the world.

– So, did you enjoy the PC room date? It sounds like you had fun just listening to the story.

“Well, what about a date? I just went to a PC room once….”

– Oops…. It’s not the time yet. Alright, so let’s do that. Anyway, I hope you had fun playing it.

Subin sometimes says things that are hard to understand. She mutters to herself and treats me as if she were trying to appease her daughter, who is still immature. What the hell is she trying to say?

– Anyway, was the game worth playing? If it’s fun, I think I’ll be able to do it with Siyoon more often in the future.

She herself is curious as to why she only picks Park Si-yoon while she enjoys playing this game, but she decides to answer the question first.

“I don’t know. The game itself wasn’t bad, but if you ask me if it was fun, I guess it’s not….”

– Yes? When I watched it for two days, it seemed like I was having fun, but I guess I wasn’t?

“Yes. Oh, that’s not to say it wasn’t fun. It was fun chatting with you guys….”

She was worried that Subin, who would spend most of her time teaching and playing games with her, might misunderstand, so she hurriedly shook her hand and added an addition, even though it wasn’t even a video call.

It was definitely fun. I don’t deny that. But if you ask me if ‘game’ was fun, well. To be honest, it wasn’t really my taste.

I can’t answer for sure because I haven’t played this kind of game, but basically I have a strong tendency to be independent as a child. I believe that I am the main character of this world, and I have a strong attachment to myself. Maybe that’s why I chose the dream of being an idol.

Anyway, maybe because of that tendency, rather than a game where the five of us join forces and feel proud, I think a game where I can lead the world more suits my taste. Have you ever heard of an RPG? That kind of game.

But why did it feel so much fun? Because you simply hung out with your friends? That also makes sense, but for some reason someone in the subconscious is shouting that it seems that the explanation is not enough.

– This is Yuna.

“Huh?”

After a moment of silence, I heard Subin’s voice in my ears. It was a voice that made her feel caring and warm somewhere, and if Soobin was in front of her right now, she would have said it with a motherly smile.

– In that case, I don’t think you need to give an answer right away. Of course, there may be a clear answer hidden, but isn’t it just that it was fun now?

“That’s right… ?”

Actually, Subin is right.

If you think about it, it’s a very simple thing that can be done with just having fun with friends and having a good day, so why are you worrying about such useless things? I’m not even Park Si-yoon.

Anyway, it’s a bit strange. It’s not that Subin caught me thinking about this in that brief moment. No matter how best a friend you are, can you see through this far?

Ah, Park Si-yoon is an exception. Because that idiot has a sharp side in strange places even though he is usually dull. According to Lega, the ultimate is passive. I usually don’t activate it, but when an urgent situation comes, dig it up! And it activates.

– I think you’ll find out later anyway. So don’t be in a hurry

“Thank you, Subin.”

For some reason, Subin gave her advice as if she already knew the answer I couldn’t give. But she believed that strangely, and she felt as if her insides, which had been as complicated as a tangled skein just a moment ago, were unraveled in an instant.

– Instead, if I had to give you just one hint for our cute Yuna, I think you should ask yourself why.

“‘Why did you do that?’…. Called?”

– Yes, not just today, but also yesterday and before that. If you ask yourself why you did that, someday the answer will come out. Keep that in mind

Why…. What do you want to ask? I have no questions to ask myself. That’s right, I know the existence of me better than anyone else. But what is there to ask again and again?

The moment I was about to question Subin’s advice, paradoxically, following Subin’s advice, I began to look back on things in the past one by one.

For example, when I asked Subin to teach me Rega yesterday. On the way down to my grandmother’s house, when I asked Si-yoon Park to teach me a game I wasn’t interested in.

When I went back to the most recent point of view, I remembered how I pretended to be playing this game for the first time in front of Park Si-yoon and even acted. I don’t know why only those scenes were deeply embedded in my brain.

– Yuna, do you remember what you said when you asked me for a favor yesterday?

“What… Was it?”

– When I asked, ‘Is there a character you want to try?’, You said that. ‘What is the character Park Si-yoon plays most often?’

“Yes, it was.”

At that time, I think the words were thrown without much thought, but when I look back on my memory, there was a bit of a strange side to me, so I stopped stammering.

Isn’t it strange? Usually, when I do that, I look at the character’s appearance, ask what kind of character he uses, and choose the one that seems to be close to my taste. Why did I ask that question in the first place?

– Why did you want to practice that character? Did you just want to surprise Siyoon?

“Ugh, yes. Yes. She will be surprised to see me do a great job as her main character.”

As if holding on to a rope that was stretched out to me hesitantly, I strongly agreed with Subin’s words.

Yes, that’s all. I wanted to see Park Si-yoon’s expression when he saw me, a beginner who thought he had just started today, choosing his main character and performing in all directions. Really that’s all.

– Then why did you want to see Siyoon surprised? Just because it’s fun?

“Uh… ?”

Another question that led to me as I nodded inwardly as if rationalizing.

But this time I couldn’t answer right away like before. That’s also true, if you ask me if it was fun, I think it was a different feeling than fun. Pleasure? Joy? No, it’s a little different from that.

– Did I mention that? Keep asking yourself, remember that.

‘I think I’m done with what I have to say at this point, so I’ll hang up. See you tomorrow.” Leaving that greeting behind, Subin ended her call without giving any answers or hints.

Putting my legs together on the bed and burying my face between them, I kept asking myself questions until dinner time came.

Why did you suddenly want to learn about games? Why did you want to play that game? Why were you drawn to that character a little more? Why did you want to see Park Si-yoon’s surprised expression?

… Oh, I don’t know. Even if I knew, I feel like I shouldn’t know now.

Because if I don’t, I feel like my hair will go bad any moment.
