Still, Yeo-woon liked his kind side. So whenever CatMeowMeowMeow subtly bragged about himself, Yeo-woon, along with other guild members, would praise him saying things like “I really respect you” or “Cat is the best.” Then, CatMeowMeowMeow would all puffed up and be proud like a typical boy of his age, which was endearing.

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Anyway, yesterday Eggplant suggested I think about whether that guy has a grudge against me… So I’ve been thinking about it all day at school

[Party] neutaaaa: Yeah?

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: It’s a bit awkward to say this myself lol but I have a pretty good memory, you know?

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: But I really can’t remember that guy;; I have no idea who he is

[Party] neutaaaa: Then maybe he’s just crazy?

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: ㅡㅡ Should I exorcise him or something?

CatMeowMeowMeow wildly swung his bazooka in the air. Seeing him put on a show by himself, it seemed he was quite irritated today. Well, it was understandable. Yeo-woon had also experienced having Earth Star follow him around like a stalker before.

Yeo-woon recalled his first meeting with Earth Star. He had someone else knock Yeo-woon down and kill him in one hit, and then typed irritating words quickly and flashily. He was a master at curing people’s low blood pressure.

Compared to him, the newbie following CatMeowMeowMeow was said to be quiet and harmless. Of course, this was heard from other guild members, not from the highly irritated CatMeowMeowMeow. The newbie sometimes asked for directions using the server mic, but other than that, he didn’t seem like much of a threat.

It seemed he just admired CatMeowMeowMeow or something. Compared to Earth Star from a year ago, this newbie’s scale of misdeeds was too small and cute. To Yeo-woon’s eyes, he was like a newborn chick and somewhat adorable in his own way.

[Party] Ji9star: Hmm lol Can’t you just dodge nimbly?

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: What are you talking about; How am I supposed to dodge him?ㅡㅡ He follows even if I dodge

[Party] Ji9star: I can prove you can, lol

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: ?

[Party] Ji9star: lol Catch me if you can~ >_<

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: What’s this

Earth Star and CatMeowMeowMeow suddenly started playing tag in the guild zone. Yeo-woon observed the situation by watching the silhouettes of moving characters on the mini-map. CatMeowMeowMeow chased after Earth Star, but Earth Star, who had dedicated his entire life increasing movement speed, bounced around teasingly. After running around the map, Ji-gu circled back and hopped over to Yeo-woon’s side.

[Party] Ji9star: Got new equipment, so I’m even faster now lol nice

[Party] Ji9star: Proved it, right? If you run away super fast like me, you won’t get caught even if they know your location??

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Wow, that’s awesome!

CatMeowMeowMeow, who returned late, used an emote to express his admiration. As CatMeowMeowMeow with sharp cat ears perched on his head, stomped his feet excitedly as his eyes sparkled, Earth Star put his hands on his hips and lifted his head proudly.

Come to think of it, Yoon Ji-gu matched well with CatMeowMeowMeow, who was still a high school student. While pretending to dislike each other, he played well with the younger one. They were both really cute…

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Earth Star, can you show me your equipment options then…. Just for reference

[Party] Ji9star: Sure, I opened it! >_<

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Thanks thanks

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Ah damn, how can I copy this

[Party] Ji9star: lol ^_^v

CatMeowMeowMeow quickly changed his attitude and kicked Earth Star. Earth Star dodged his kick and swiftly climbed up a utility pole.

“…”

The more you look at him, the stranger he is. In the game, he was faster than anyone and talked a lot. But when he turned off the game, he became a different person. How could they be so different? If Yoon Ji-gu hadn’t told him directly, Yeo-woon wouldn’t have realized that Earth Star and he were the same person even after a hundred years.

[Party] neutaaaa: Gubyeol is fast

[Party] Ji9star: Mm

When Yeo-woon complimented him, Earth Star, visible through the mini-map, stopped at the top of the utility pole. He was showing off and acting cocky, but why did he suddenly stop? It was at that moment that Yeo-woon wondered.

‘Ji9star has left the party.’

‘Ji9star has logged out.’

“…What?”

[Party] CatMeowMeowMeow: Seems like he crashed while showing off…

[Party] neutaaaa: Seems like it, yeah

Yoon Ji-gu suddenly left the game. And he didn’t come back for a while, only logging in again after about 10 minutes. Since they live in the same building, it couldn’t have been a power outage, so it must have been a game client error due to a conflict with another program.

But that wasn’t the end of it. Yoon Ji-gu’s eccentric behavior didn’t stop there. He would chat normally with Yeo-woon and other guild members, but then leave without a word at the most random times. Even when Yeo-woon asked if his computer was malfunctioning, Yoon Ji-gu would just reply with a silent ‘lol maybe?’ and laugh it off. It wasn’t until a week later that Yeo-woon could somewhat guess the reason.

[Couple] neutaaaa: Ji-gu

[Couple] Ji9star: Yes?

[Couple] neutaaaa: I’m jealous lol

[Couple] Ji9star: Of what?

[Couple] neutaaaa: That you’re fast…

[Couple] Ji9star: That’s

‘Ji9star has left the party.’

‘Ji9star has logged out.’

It was too transparent of a reaction.

“So that’s what it was…”

Yoon Ji-gu reacted immediately, as if startled, whenever the word ‘fast’ was mentioned about him. And then, exactly ten minutes later, he’d log back into the game as if nothing had happened. Yeo-woon could only guess the exact reason, but he had a rough idea.

Was he bothered about finishing too quickly that day?

“He acted like he didn’t care at all.”

When they met face to face, he acted extremely nonchalant and never mentioned that day, but it seems he was still bothered by it. If not, there would be no reason for him to be so startled and leave the game. So while Yeo-woon wasn’t 100% sure, he felt about 90% confident in his guess.

Yeo-woon: Ji-gu, did you log out again?

Yoon Ji-gu: No, that damn Yoon Bbosong unplugged the whole power strip again;;

Yoon Ji-gu: Sighㅡㅡ

Yeo-woon: Oh, I see…ㅠㅠ You should keep an eye on him

Yeo-woon could bet Ha Seon-yong’s wrist that it was 100% a lie. Now he’s blaming the cat, huh. It’s fortunate for Yoon Ji-gu that cats can’t speak human language.

Yoon Ji-gu: Logging back in lol Be there soon!>

“…”

Yeo-woon hesitated for a moment before quickly typing on his phone.

Yeo-woon: Soon? You really are fast

As soon as he pressed ‘Send’, the number 1 next to the message bubble disappeared. Yoon Ji-gu, who said he’d be back soon, didn’t log into the game or answer the phone. He didn’t reply for a long time, and then finally sent just one emoticon. It was an emoticon of a cat looking disgruntled, angrily tapping its tail on the ground.

Yoon Ji-gu: Why are you calling againㅡㅡ

Yeo-woon: You said you’d come quickly but you didn’t ㅠㅠ I thought something might have happenedㅠㅠ

Yoon Ji-gu: Ah, don’t say ‘quick'<< I’m coming even if you don’t nag

Yeo-woon: Okay….

Yeo-woon: Come quickly!

Yoon Ji-gu: ㅡㅡ;;;

The 90 percent possibility turned into 100 percent in that moment. Yeo-woon could vividly imagine Yoon Ji-gu’s face as if it were right in front of him. He’d surely be muttering about being annoyed and blushing.

“What’s really going on in his head?”

Yeo-woon chuckled as he looked at Earth Star’s nickname, which had changed to online status. He had almost forgotten about that day, but it seems it was an incredibly shocking experience for Yoon Ji-gu himself.

But really, for him to react this sensitively over just the word “fast/quick,” how does he even function in daily life?

***

‘What’s wrong with him? Does he know something?’

Yoon Ji-gu’s face flushed as he glared at Yeo-woon’s message. Annoyed, he quickly opened a search engine and typed in exactly how he was feeling. As soon as he entered two consonants, his recent search history filled the screen.

Yoon Ji-gu read through others’ confessions and dilemmas, sometimes empathizing, sometimes comforting himself by thinking ‘well, at least I’m better off than them’ when reading serious posts. When he saw a post about breaking up because their s3x life was incompatible, he anxiously shook his leg, worried if the same might happen to him. He felt even more self-loathing remembering that he had climaxed twice that day while Yeo-woon hadn’t even once.

As he kept searching, Yoon Ji-gu stumbled upon a blog. He read a post there intently, but when he looked at the comments, everyone was laughing it off saying “This is a joke, right? lolololol”. Yoon Ji-gu, who had been reading half in doubt, finally felt relieved. No wonder he thought it was absurd that such things would work in society. He had been nervous, wondering if he really had to do such things in front of Lee Yeo-woon.

[Love Tips] How to Appeal to Your Older Partner – Men’s Edition ♥ (1000% Guaranteed!!)

Hello, beauties ^ㅇ^ Here are some dating tips~!

Did everyone have a good holiday? I’ve been feeling down since Monday because of the gloomy weather, ugh…ㅜㅜ

These days, older women with younger men are the trend~ There are even lots of fun dramas about them!! I also love younger guys. How about you, beauties?

Today, we’ll look at ways for men to appeal to their older partners~

Try to show your freshness and cuteness, and sometimes your unexpected charms to your older girlfriend. ^^

[Dating Tip #1] Try using semi-formal speech!

If you usually use formal speech with your girlfriend, how about mixing it up a little? The sudden change in your speech might make girlfriend’s heart flutter~ ^^ Kyaa!!!

ex.
-Noona, why do you look so pale? Are you feeling unwell?
-Noona, did you have dinner?

[Dating Tip #2] Appeal with things only you can do at your age

Remember! Women dating younger men do so because men their age are comparatively old and unattractive, and the decent ones are all taken. So, think about what only you can offer at your age and highlight that~

ex.
– Noona, is the March mock exam really the same as the actual college entrance exam? Damn…
– We had udon for school lunch today, I hope you’re eating well too. I love you… ♥
– Ah, my homeroom teacher took my phone so I can’t contact you this weekㅡㅡ This is my friend’s phone

[Dating Tip #3] Give surprise gifts sometimes

Receiving something unexpected is always a joy! It doesn’t matter if it’s from a younger guy or even a random mountain spirit giving a gift—most people will be happy! Try casually saying, “I picked this up on the way,” when giving it to her.

ex. (Handing over slime) This is a gift. I bought it while shopping because I thought it would suit you, noona.

[Dating Tip #4] Be possessive!

Excessive possessiveness is a crime! (Never do it!!!! XXXXX) But showing cute jealousy can strengthen the relationship between the girlfriend and the younger boyfriend ♥ Moderation is best in everything.

ex. Noona, do you really have to go to work…? Ah. Anyway, there are men there tooㅡㅡ

That’s all about the efforts of younger boyfriends to please their older girlfriends. Isn’t their effort so cute~? By the way, I personally really hate these methods.;;;;;;;;;;

Anyway, I hope the male beauties will refer to my post and be loved a lot in their relationships~

Bye!

Yoon Ji-gu was desperate enough to be slightly tempted even by such a ridiculous post. He knew that if Yeo-woon found out about this, he would be laughed at. Despite knowing this, he was so anxious that he couldn’t help but read such posts on the internet. Even this post, while the examples were too extreme, the explanations seemed somewhat plausible.

Just thinking about that day gave him a headache. It was obvious that in Yeo-woon’s mind, he would be branded as a premature ejaculator. Not only was it embarrassing, but he also felt sorry for being so unprepared.

Looking back, there wasn’t a single thing he didn’t regret. He had stained Yeo-woon’s face without any warning and didn’t even know how to use a condom properly. How pathetic must he have looked in Lee Yeo-woon’s eyes?

But a part of him also felt it was unfair. Who’s good at things from the start, anyway? Isn’t it normal to learn as you go? Yoon Ji-gu silently grumbled to himself. He wanted to knock on Yeo-woon’s door, drag him out, and plead for him to understand everything about him. But he feared Yeo-woon might lose interest in him if he did that. After all, he’d put so much effort into starting this relationship…!

‘What should I do, what if I get dumped for being too incompetent?’

Yoon Ji-gu chewed his lips and furrowed his brow. He didn’t want to remain just a cute lover to him. He wanted to appear mature in Yeo-woon’s eyes. He knew that not everyone becomes an mature just by aging. Yoon Ji-gu felt like he still hadn’t escaped from his high school days when he wore a uniform. He had become an adult legally, but it felt like he wasn’t quite a grown-up yet.

He wanted to become a reliable person that Lee Yeo-woon could lean on comfortably. He wanted to be a partner Yeo-woon could be proud of. And… he needed to become more skilled to overcome the dishonor from last time. He really wasn’t a premature ejaculator at all.

That day, he’d just been startled by the sudden confession…Honestly!

Lee Yeo-woon hyung: Sleep well too

Lee Yeo-woon hyung: (emoticon)

Compared to his own inadequacies, Yeo-woon was truly a mature person. Yoon Ji-gu felt a bit grateful and anxious that Yeo-woon didn’t bring up that day’s events or avoid him, probably to prevent him from feeling embarrassed. Why hasn’t he said anything? Is he disappointed in me? Or is he just being considerate?

Even though the word “fast” still made his face flush, he figured he’d eventually get over it with time.

Yoon Ji-gu had always been very impatient. Since he was young, he’d always wanted results immediately, preferring outcomes over the process, and hated waiting. But to have Lee Yeo-woon, he had to endure even the things he disliked. Step by step, slowly. This was something he’d never considered before, but Yeo-woon had changed him. He didn’t dislike the way he was changing because of Yeo-woon.

It felt like he was cramming a year’s worth of study, something he never did in school, all in one go. Just as Yeo-woon had made him happy, he wanted Yeo-woon to feel fulfilled and satisfied with him. Just being with Yeo-woon made him feel at ease and happy, even without doing anything special. The same goes for their relationship. While it would be nice to do it and he desperately wanted to, he shouldn’t hurt Yeo-woon by being unprepared like last time.

In short, he wanted to become skilled.
