Chapter 18 – Club

A few days later.

After class, I was packing my bags to get up from my seat.

“Hey. Are you going there today?”

“Where?”

Seo Jin-ah was sitting next to me.

Since she masturbated in the library, Seo Jin-ah hasn’t tried to pounce on me like before.

Just like the past 15 years, we are back to being close friends who bicker on a regular basis.

In fact, she may have remained the same as before, only on the outside.

Because none of us wanted to bring up what happened in the library first.

She was continuing her college life as if she had never worked at that time.

“I mean the club. “The manager is old today.”

And Seo Jin-ah invited me to go to the club with her today.

“∙∙∙Do you have to go?”

I was scratching her chin and showing off that I didn’t want to go.

There is no particular reason.

I don’t know if it’s Seo Jin-ah, but it’s not a club I go to often.

The reason why she joined was a club that Seo Jin-ah forced her to join during her freshman year.

There was no way I could get interested.

“Then who goes besides us? “There’s no one there yet.”

“Then I don’t have to go with you?”

“∙∙∙Is it really trash?”

Seojin looks at me pitifully.

“I don’t go here much these days, so it’s a bit weird to look at the manager. “You go alone.”

“You didn’t come at all, so your senior contacted you to tell you to come! “She’s a senior who didn’t really care if she came or not!”

That’s also true.

The club manager definitely didn’t keep in touch with me much.

We don’t hold any special events within the club, so we haven’t been told to get together once in the past year.

Is there something this time?

After thinking about it for a while, I finally accepted Seo Jin-ah’s offer.

“∙∙∙∙Okay. What. Come with me.”

There are no assignments left today, so I have nothing to do. Let’s go to a club or something for the first time in a while.

I was also curious about what was going on.

Trying to get up from your seat like that.

“You two. “Shouldn’t you have reconciled sooner?”

Seongjae Park, who was sitting in front, looked at us and said.

“How nice to see. “Now it feels a bit like CC.”

“Don’t be a dick. “Why am I a couple with him?”

Seo Jin-ah pours out harsh curses at Park Seong-jae, who is entangling the two of us.

Since Seongjae knows me well, she also became very close with Seojin. She also cursed at Seongjae sometimes.

Especially when they try to tie us together like now.

Leaving behind a smiling Park Seong-jae, I left the classroom with Seo Jin-ah.

Enter the student center building, climb the stairs, and enter a club room in the far corner.

Then, a nameplate appears in front of the door.

[Game Development Club]

I open the door, passing the nameplate that is shaking as if half of it is about to fall off.

When I open the door, I feel a presence and someone comes out from inside.

“Jinya!”

A woman gets up from her seat, happily calling Seo Jin-ah’s name.

When the woman saw my face instead of Seo Jin-ah, she stopped and lowered her tension.

“What. Am I looking at it wrong? “I think Lee Hyeon-woo is here?”

She has messy red hair and no makeup at all.

This woman is wearing a T-shirt with an anime character on it.

Name: Hong Se-rin.

The manager of our game development club.

“Long time no see. Boss.”

“I thought you left the club because you haven’t been here lately. Wasn’t it?”

“It can’t be. “What are you saying?”

Hong Se-rin glares at me fiercely.

He slyly laughs off that gaze that feels like lasers are coming out of his eyes.

She was dumbfounded by her shameless attitude, but judging from the way she was smiling even though her eyes were glaring at me, it seemed like she was welcoming me.

He looks satisfied just by coming to the club room.

“So. “Why did you call us?”

“Ah. Right. Okay. Guys. “We’re in big trouble!”

Hong Se-rin opened her eyes at my question and then moved on to the main topic.

“Get out of our club room! “What should I do now?”

“Why?”

“They say we have nothing to do so we have to give the room to another new club!”

Hong Se-rin is screaming with an expression as if the world has collapsed.

From her perspective, it was quite a big deal.

Did you hear that she’s probably staying here because she doesn’t have anywhere to stay?

It was no different from asking me to vacate my house for redevelopment when I was living well.

But in fact, it was right in principle that we should remove it.

“That is correct. “We don’t have any club activities.”

“There is nothing! “You’re working hard!”

“∙∙∙This?”

A club room filled with computers as if it were a PC room.

Among them, all that was visible on the monitor that was turned on were game screens.

A sight that anyone would think was a professional gamer’s practice room.

However, there was no way the school would allow the opening of a club that only played games.

The original purpose of this club was to create games.

“This is all market research. Market research. “You have to try out what games are coming out to see what’s on your mind and decide on a plan!”

“∙∙∙Where is the place that conducts market research for a year?”

“Shut up. “There are a lot of topics for juniors.”

Se-rin Hong cut off my reply and continued the rest of her words.

“Anyway. They say you have to show some performance in order for the school to not remove your room. “If you don’t do anything like before, we can’t keep giving you the room.”

The school that has maintained this club until now has been an angel.

How many computers are here? The electricity bill alone will be enormous.

But this senior, Manager Lee, plays games with it all the time. Even Seo Jin-ah, a member of the club, came here and the only thing she did was play games.

“Can’t ∙∙∙ just be scrapped?”

I suddenly felt sorry for the school and said this.

“Then where should I live? “You junior!”

“You can just find a house.”

“I’m in love with this place! “Now I can’t sleep because I’m so uncomfortable if I’m not here!”

There was no way Hong Se-rin could accept that.

No matter how you look at it, sleeping here seems more uncomfortable∙∙∙

It was impossible for me to understand, but that was Hong Se-rin.

She is an unidentified woman who does not know how she became the manager of this club.

“Anyway. Please help me please. “The only thing left to me is you.”

Hong Se-rin bows her head as if asking for help just once, pleading with both of her palms.

“Jinya. “Are you going to help me?”

“Of course I have to help.”

“After all, there is only you! “It’s on a different level from that traitorous junior!”

“∙∙∙Why am I a traitor?”

I just didn’t come because the club room was in the far corner and I didn’t feel like coming. What a traitor.

‘∙∙∙∙∙∙Hmm.’

Come to think of it, am I really a traitor?

I think that’s right.

“Then you don’t need my help?”

“No way. What does that mean? “Of course it’s good for me if you help me!”

Hong Se-rin changes her attitude immediately upon hearing that she will help.

This isn’t any Udyr.

I was so disgusted by that sight that I thought about just ignoring him and going home, but since he wasn’t a bad person, I decided to help him.

I’m sorry it’s been so long since I came. I need to work properly now.

With that in mind, she walked into her club room.

***

“Then. “Come and sit here.”

Hong Se-rin calls the two of us together in front of the desk.

“First. Our club does game development. Yes?”

“Yes.”

“But… “I actually don’t know how to make games.”

“∙∙∙You’re not bragging, are you?”

This person. How did you become a manager if you don’t even know how to make games?

I became seriously suspicious of the squadron manager.

How bad of a leader was that person that they gave up their position as manager to someone like this?

“So! “There is a method I came up with.”

“What is that?”

“We create a game plan and subcontract it to someone else to complete it. How is it?”

“∙∙∙Then the meaning of our club’s existence disappears?”

When I asked if I was planning to change the club name to Game Planning Club, Hong Se-rin scolded me.

“Listen to me, you junior. I know a guy who is crazy about coding. That kid happens to be a kid from our school. All you have to do is seduce that guy and bring him to our club during the club promotion week. Then we can make games.”

“So before that. “First of all, let’s decide what game to make, right?”

“That’s it!”

Hong Se-rin snapped her fingers as if she was finally making sense.

“There it is. “Let’s make some good money while making it.”

“Money? Are you planning on selling the game we made here?”

“Okay. If possible, I should sell a lot and buy a house!”

What was it earlier? He said he was so attached that he couldn’t leave here.

I was planning on moving out here as soon as I got rich. This senior Jjansuni.

“But is it possible for us to make a game that makes money?”

Seo Jin-ah, who was listening to the conversation between me and Hong Se-rin, says something that confronts reality.

Although we were gamers who played a lot of games without knowing anything about the world, at least we knew that making a game wasn’t something that could be made in a day or two.

Effort is effort, but what is more important than that is manpower.

“I’ve been thinking about it for a while. “How can I make money while eating raw food?”

Hong Se-rin now proudly reveals her greed and talks about her plans.

“That’s what creates miyeon poetry!”

“Miyeonsi? “What is that?”

“Beautiful girl dating simulation. So, dating in a story game.”

When I didn’t understand, Seo Jin-ah stood next to her and explained further.

After hearing that, I roughly understood it. I think I saw broadcasters doing it on an internet broadcast or something.

A game consisting mostly of dialogue. A genre called visual novel.

‘Definitely∙∙∙.’

It’s a game that consists only of a story, without a game system or anything like that.

At that level, it could have been done with a small number of people.

But isn’t visuals important in things like this? The genre name is also visual novel.

“How are you going to design this?”

“I just have to draw it. I’m good at drawing! “I also drew this t-shirt.”

Hong Se-rin shows off the front part of her baggy T-shirt.

I didn’t really notice it before because I was just looking at it in passing, but upon closer inspection, it seemed like it was drawn quite well.

With that level of drawing skill, she could look at the heroine and tell her she was pretty.

“Then what about the story? “Are you going to write the story too?”

“I have some idea, but I need some advice from you.”

“Are you a senior Mosol?”

“I’ve been in a relationship before!”

“But why are you asking us?”

I was genuinely curious, so I asked Hong Se-rin.

Since it’s a dating simulation, shouldn’t you just do whatever you think without having to ask anything?

Rather, I think if you give it as advice, the story will get twisted and weird. I’m not that much of a romantic expert.

“What is love? “Of course, there is a relationship that everyone dreams of.”

“Yes, of course.”

“Among them, we have to use materials that will sell best. Because I have to be a butler. So the topic I chose was∙∙∙”

Hong Se-rin paused for a moment. She pointed to me and Seo Jin-ah.

“Childhood friend. Everyone fantasizes about dating their childhood friend at least once, right? “I’m sure you all have tried it too.”

“∙∙∙Me?”

“Hey. To be honest. You guys are dating. No?”

“∙∙∙∙∙∙.”

I was left speechless by the sudden heavy punch.

It was the same for Seo Jin-ah who was next to me.

“I haven’t even seen you around for a day or two. They even said they’ve known each other for 15 years? “There must be something!”

Serin Hong slams her desk and presses on the two of us.

“Say it quickly. If there is an episode, add it to the story. Let’s hold hands. Like kissing. Or something else. “Is there anything sweet?”

At those words, Seo Jin-ah and I looked at each other.

It was skinship between the two of us.

When I asked that question to my face, it reminded me of the library masturbation I did a few days ago.

Plus, he hit my daughter-in-law at my house.

Let’s think about that.

Woe!

We both blushed at the same time and turned our heads in opposite directions.

I went on as if nothing had happened, but that memory was one that could not be easily forgotten.

Whether we were childhood friends or not, what we did together wasn’t something anyone would do together.

Seeing the two of us not being able to look at each other, Hong Se-rin made an expression that said she was caught.

‘As expected, there is something!’

While misunderstanding that ∙∙∙.
