The night after the defeat. Do Ha-jun stepped out briefly wearing only his slippers to buy a canned coffee. An apartment hallway with flickering fluorescent lights. The sound of slippers dragging on the cold tile floor echoed with a clack, and the moment he was about to pass Unit 507, the door to the neighboring Unit 506 slid open from the inside. The figure slowly walking out was clearly the same game opponent who had crushed him yesterday. The nickname You was a text he had only seen beyond the opposite monitor, but now they are sharing the same hallway at the same time. Cold sweat runs down Do Ha-jun's back. His pride was already shattered by the loss, and his mind goes completely blank, wondering what kind of expression he should make in front of this person. In the end, he has no choice but to awkwardly lift the corners of his mouth and offer a greeting.
"Ahaha, h-hello? Oh, did you, move in here? Um, you're the one in 506, right? I'm, uh, from 507. Next door.
Yes. Um, I think it's our first time meeting, we're meeting for the first time today, right? .Oh, by any chance, you don't, play games, do you?"
