Our Guild's Idol — Chapter 50

THAT BUTTERFLY EFFECT.

I HAVE TO HAVE IT.

DAMI.

OH, THEN...

...WE'LL TRY TALKING ABOUT IT MORE BEFORE WE DECIDE.

YEAH, SURE.

BUT IF WE'RE NOT PARTICIPATING IN GOT...

GUILD OFFLINE TEATIME

...I THINK I'LL LEAVE THIS GUILD.

AND JOIN ONE THAT IS.

I'LL GO.

IT'S AN EVENT HOSTED BY THE DEVELOPERS, SO THERE SHOULDN'T BE ANY PROBLEMS.

AND IT'S A CLOSED MEETING, SO I DOUBT THEY'LL ALLOW ANYONE TO TAKE PICTURES.

I'LL ALSO BE WEARING A MASK.

WHY DON'T WE JUST LET HER LEAVE?

BUT THE OTHERS WILL FOLLOW...

AND WHEN THAT HAPPENS...

...RAISING MORALE HERE WILL REALLY BECOME IMPOSSIBLE.

NOT TO MENTION, WE'VE GOT GUILD STUFF TO CLEAR EVEN THIS WEEKEND.

I THINK I'M GOING TO BE BUSY FOR A WHILE WITH WORK.

THERE'S A CHANCE...

...BLOOMIE'S INFLUENCE WILL SHRINK IN OUR GUILD GOING FORWARD.

THERE'LL BE EVEN LESS REASON FOR THE TOP-TIER USERS TO STAY.

WE CAN'T AFFORD TO RUFFLE THEIR FEATHERS.

BUT I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU CAN'T GO OUT FOR A WHILE.

I'LL MAKE IT WORK... JUST FOR THAT DAY.

I'LL PRETEND TO GO TO A CAFE OR SOMETHING...

GIVE ME A SEC.

[COUPLE] BLOOMIE: HEY.

SCRAMBLE: DQUESTS, GO?

[COUPLE] BLOOMIE: GOT THING. CAN'T YOU GO? [COUPLE] SCRAMBLE: ? [COUPLE] SCRAMBLE: DON WANA DON'T WANNA [COUPLE] SCRAMBLE: I'M BEST KEPT MYSTERIOUS. [COUPLE] BLOOMIE: FOR WHO? NO ONE CARES ABOUT HOW YOU LOOK. [COUPLE] SCRAMBLE: ...I MEAN, THAT'S TRUE, BUT...

SCRAMBLE: I HAVE TO GO TO A WEDDING THAT DAY.

BLOOMIE: ARE YOU CLOSE WITH THE GROOM?

SCRAMBLE: CLOSE ENOUGH TO BE SINGING FOR THEM THAT DAY.

I'VE BEEN PRACTICING.

LISTEN TO IT LATER AND TELL ME IF IT'S OKAY.

BESIDES, I HAD BEEN THINKING THE GUILD MASTER WASN'T REALLY DOING ANYTHING IN HER POSITION.

WHAT?

WHY DOES IT MATTER IF SHE'S DOING ANYTHING OR NOT?

IT'S JUST A GAME. THERE'S NO REASON FOR HER TO STRESS HERSELF OUT OVER IT.

I MEAN, I COULDN'T CARE LESS...

IF THIS GUILD FALLS APART.

...OH, I MADE A MISTAKE.

I KNOW JUST HOW INVESTED SHE IS IN THIS GUILD, YET...

EVER SINCE THAT DAY,

JIHYEON HAD BEEN HOLDING BACK HIS ANGER.

THE PERSON AJIN SUPPORTED...

TURNED OUT TO BE A PIECE OF SCUM...

...AND THE GUILD MEMBERS SHE TREASURED...

WERE NOTHING BUT RUDE.

NO, THAT FEELING HAD BEEN BUILDING MUCH EARLIER.

AND IN TRUTH, IT WASN'T ANGER AT ALL. IT WAS MORE LIKE...

PAIN.

...I CARE.

IT'S THE GUILD I MADE WITH YOU, AFTER ALL.

HUU...

...?

I CAN'T GO TO A PLACE LIKE THAT FOR YOU.

AND I DON'T EXPECT YOU TO.

I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE BEING PUSHED INTO THIS...

OH, I'M NOT.

I THOUGHT ABOUT IT AGAIN, AND I'M KINDA CURIOUS TO SEE WHAT THOSE STREAMERS LOOK LIKE IN REAL LIFE.

AND I WANT TO KNOW WHAT UPDATES ARE COMING...

SO I'LL GO, AND COME BACK TO TELL YOU EVERYTHING... JUST YOU.

ALL RIGHT. GO DO WHATEVER YOU WANT, NUNA.

YEAH.

I SHOULDN'T GO. I MEAN, WHAT WOULD I EVEN DO THERE?

DON'T.

I'M GOING.

WHAT?

WHY WOULD YOU GO THERE?

BECAUSE I LIKE THE GUILD MASTER.

WHAT IS HE SAYING...?
