“ Then talk to someone, you can go message your best friends. “ Alon sighed, exasperated at her older sister’s childishness. No wonder people always mistakes her as the older sister instead of the other.

“ But but but you see, they are all busy. Ones busy studying for the entrance exam, while the other is great at ghosting too. “ She replied pitifully, like a little cat abandoned by her owner.

“ Busy? Then go talk to someone else, don’t bother me….. Fine, if you’re really that lonely , then why don’t you chat with your server mates in discord? Surely they’re online. “ Alon looked away as she blurted out, feeling guilty for no reason.

“ No they’re not, the server is as baren as a graveyard. It’s boring in there, I’ve got no one to talk to. “ Tala murmured at the younger.

“ Then, what now? “ Alon once again sighed, too tired to deal with her older sister.

“ Nothing, you can go back to your room now, hehe. “ Tala chirped and gave a cheeky green at the helpless Alon.

“ Okay then, I’ll be going back now~ “ Alon drawled, going out the door and to the room next door.

The cheeky grin plastered on Tala’s face slowly receded as the smile in her eyes disappeared. She sighed, looking through her phone. Glancing at the novel’s chapter she’s stuck at “ Tsk, I’ll stop for now…. “ Tala whispered.

The tacking of the keyboard was heard inside a room. As the light from the PC shown upon a handsome face, a smirk showing as the man teased the other players. Clearly bemused by they’re hilarious reactions.

As he got his desired reactions, he exited the world of his victim. Chuckling as he did so, hands reaching for the fast asleep cat laying beside him. Head resting softly on the pillow, living the top cat life.

A notification popped up, turned out Kanna was inviting him to play together. He agreed to it, after a while Kanna sent a message:

[ HUcollector: Bro Light, I’m gonna go join my darling’s world. Wanna join?]

Before Artaya could even reply to her, she logged off the world and went to her friend’s. He was left dumbfounded as he stared at Kanna’s username. “ What the… How can I even join if you didn’t give me her UID?!”

Tapping on the other’s profile, he messaged her quite helpless at the forgetful girl.

[ Light: How am I supposed to join you if you didn’t even give me your friend’s UID? So you’re gonna live me lah?]

[ HUcollector: Ah? I forgot, hehehe]

[ HUcollector: Oh yeah, There, I sent it to you through discord. ]

Artaya fell silent as he wondered if his Friend’s brain wasn’t missing any loose screw on her brain. He shook his head helplessly as he typed down the UID he received and clicked on it to join. When he arrived, the first thing he did was sending message to the chat.

[ Light: Dummy (눈‸눈)]

[ HUcollector: hehe, sorry (٥↼_↼) ]

[ HUcollector: But hey, this is my darling. Shipyard, this is Light. And Light, this is Shipyard. Why don’t you guys greet and talk to each other first, ne? ]

Kanna changed the subject hastily, introducing the two to each other. Sweat running down her back. And she was successful at doing so, as her friends started talking to each other.

[ Shipyard: Hi Light, it’s nice to meet you. ]

[ Light: It’s nice meeting you too, dear. ]

[ Shipyard: Ah? ]

Alon was surprised and confused as she stared at the chat box, then started laughing like a devil. While Artaya chuckled at the “Ah?”, Pleased at the successful teasing.

After playing for a while, he logged off the game. He stared at the incomplete drawing for a while, then turned off his PC. He walked to his bed and flopped on top of it, grabbing the sleeping cat and nuzzled his head on the cat’s fluffy belly. He turned over, laying on his back as he stared at the ceiling.

“ Was I right in choosing this career path?....” He sighed, taking off his glasses and gently putting it on the night stand. Starting at nothing, he slowly fell asleep.
