Did I say something about it being fine for a few schedules even if the two were fighting and didn't solve it right away?

Let me correct it. That was bullshit.

'How could those two be stuck together right in the beginning? Fuck.'

I thought of taking the risk of them not needing to reconcile right away because I was afraid that if the situation was just covered up and let go, it could explode even more after about half a year and the real atmosphere would be out of control.

I didn't think that the risk would unravel right in the first game.

'I wish I was dreaming.'

I had built a defense to prevent this exact group division, so it was the most ridiculous that it unraveled here.

First of all... this is how the W App content started.

"Hello, Loviewers! It's been a while since all seven of us did a W App live together like this, right? We gave notice, so did you happen to see it?"

"Right now, we... Tadah! This is an indoor climbing center! Today, we'll show you a new side of us having fun!"

"Should we split into teams of two? Yes. Thank you for the cheers."

"Ah, Chungwoo hyung wants to be the MC for the sake of fairness."

The MC would originally be Keun Sejin.

In fact, this wasn't some kind of Olympics game, but just us playing among ourselves, so why would fairness matter?

'Rather, it would have been more entertaining if Ryu Chungwoo just massacred us commoners in the game.'

However, if Keun Sejin was the MC, he would have to keep talking to Bae Sejin so he voluntarily stepped back.

And we had already carefully talked to the company. We asked them to make arrangements so that those two wouldn't be on the same team.

But I don't know what kind of error occurred in the communication process that as a result of picking chopsticks, Keun Sejin and Bae Sejin side by side picked the same colors.

"...Wow! Two Sejins are on the blue team together!"

Let's applaud right away before viewers notice anything strange.

Clap, clap, clap, clap!

Fortunately, everyone was desperately clapping. I almost thought it would be fine.

"Oh, let's do our best, hyung."

"...Okay."

Even so, it was still easier to talk in front of the camera.

A deep irritation toward the company was rising up.

'These bastards can't even do this one thing right?'

Mistakes like this were common everywhere, but with this exact timing, I really wanted to replace them.

And let me address the last problem. This was a live broadcast, not a recording where you could use the magic of editing.

"..."

In short, this was a total mess.

I could already see in front of my eyes how anonymous comments would appear at the end of the broadcast.

'No way.'

I could even hear the sound of those two mentally losing it from here.

Just when I was breaking out in a cold sweat, I heard a powerful voice next to me.

"Hyung! Let's win! Go, red team! Go, red team!"

"Yeah."

That was it. Even the remaining guys had no choice but to bury the weirdness and make a fuss with their reactions. I intentionally instigated Cha Yujin, who was on the same team as me.

"Which team do you think we'll beat?"

Cha Yujin acted as expected.

"Umm... Kim Raebin's team!"

"That statement is just bravado! As former roommates, Ahyun hyung and I definitely have effective operational skills..."

It's done. Now everyone just had to react while laughing.

In a similar way, I drove the atmosphere using Cha Yujin.

The responses of the live chat window of W App, which I glanced at, were also as I intended.

Well, it seemed that there were no feelings of resentment seeing the stable and contentless malicious comments.

'We just need to get it over with when those two guys play.'

Fortunately, their team was selected as the team to advance to the finals without having to do the first round since there were three teams.

Of course, I lost on purpose.

"Then, the team that gets to proceed straight to the finals with rock-paper-scissors is... team blue!"

"Oh~"

"I think that I only lost because I've played fewer games."

"Wow~ Thanks Raebin-ah. Thanks to that I'm not excited."

As the two did not give a single high-five to each other, Keun Sejin gently passed over the situation as if it was due to Kim Raebin's words.

'Now, there's only one hurdle left.'

All they had to do while climbing together was not to glare at each other or dodge whenever their shoulders touched in the finals.

I was a bit nervous as I started to climb with Cha Yujin against the Kim Raebin-Seon Ahyun team.

'I can't lose.'

I didn't expect that if the other team won and went up, they would be able to deal with unexpected situations when it came to interpersonal relationships.

The problem was that they were better at climbing than I thought.

Especially Seon Ahyun.

"Fi-fighting...! Be, careful with your feet..."

"Thank you!"

He quickly climbed up and even pulled Kim Raebin up with him.

I wanted to commend him for his strength and sense of balance but that wasn't helpful.

'Well, if those guys had enough awareness to know to lose, their team wouldn't have to lose in the first place...'

I held my silence and quietly climbed.

And fortunately, we won.

"Red team wins!"

"Wow!!"

It was because Cha Yujin, who kept climbing at an enormous speed, kept both opposing team members in check.

After I landed on the floor, I gladly gave him a high-five.

And I spoke to him with full sincerity.

"You did a good job."

"Hehe."

Cha Yujin grinned and waved at Kim Raebin.

"Defeating is nice!"

"Cha Yujin kept interfering with other people's climbs, and Ahyun hyung and I helped each other so essentially, I don't think it's comparable!"

"Hmm, whatever~"

Cha Yujin didn't seem to listen at all. In the live chat window, a wave of cries saying Kim Raebin complaining was cute, passed by.

Then, the fateful moment came.

"Now then, the finale of TeStar's climbing competition begins. Everyone, get ready... Nah-ah, Yujin, step back."

"Yes."

Cha Yujin, who had moved forward a bit early, as he was excited by the game, stepped back to the lane with Ryu Chungwoo's knife-like restraint.

And he shrugged his shoulders.

"It's okay. We will win even if we're behind!"

"...!"

"Oh~ Yujin is full of confidence. Wouldn't it be too embarrassing for you if you lost to your hyungs like this?"

Keun Sejin threw a subtle remark, but Cha Yujin smiled craftily.

"You won't win!"

"...!"

That was some crazy aggro.

'Why is this punk like this?'

The interested parties and the live chat responses seemed to be okay as they probably thought that his unfounded confident remarks were meant to be funny, but in my opinion, this guy was serious.

'Can't he see anything else after winning once?'

These guys shouldn't be provoked now...

"Ooh~? And what are you going to do if I win, Yujin? Are you going to cry?"

"I won't!"

Keun Sejin grinned.

"Really? Let's see then~"

I could feel he was serious.

Even Bae Sejin in the back, who was tense and stiff, silently checked his gloves.

His eyes clearly turned.

'Both of these guys really hate being ignored.'

At that moment, something sparked in my mind.

Wait a minute, wouldn't this actually... be rather helpful?

I immediately opened my mouth. While intentionally acting serious.

"I know right? I don't think I'll lose."

"That's right!!"

"Wow, even you, Park Moondae!"

While Keun Sejin was jeering, this time even Bae Sejin turned to look this way.

Somehow, he had a betrayed look.

'Why is he like that?'

Anyway, it was a success. If I make them really immersed in the game, it will feel less out of place.

"Now then~ Let's stop getting a head start on each other. The four of you, go stand side by side again."

The four members stood by in front of the court with a more active attitude than before.

"Ready... Go!"

And we rushed to climbing.

'They're working really hard.'

I intentionally climbed at a moderate speed to observe the situation, but then got a bit tired of just looking up at three people moving their arms and legs.

'Wouldn't it be better to be a bit more careful?'

Especially for those who lacked muscle mass.

The moment I had that thought, Bae Sejin missed his footing for a moment.

"...!"

But right away, he regained his posture and kept climbing up.

"Are you okay?"

"...I'm okay."

Bae Sejin's voice was clear as he answered Cha Yujin's question.

Keun Sejin, who had been bickering with Cha Yujin before that, hesitated for a moment but soon responded composedly.

"Then, I will go up first~"

He must have worried about whether or not he should also say something that showed concern.

"...Okay. Hold on."

"Oh~"

The last exclamation was by Cha Yujin.

Cha Yujin arrived at the goal shortly after that.

"Cha Yujin, success!"

"YEEES-!"

Cha Yujin quickly moved around and pretended to make some gestures as if to hinder Bae Sejin, and soon after approached in my direction.

Then, he stretched out his arm as if to help support me and whispered to me with his lips.

It was in English.

"...!"

It was a perceptive remark that I never would have thought I would hear from Cha Yujin.

'Am I dreaming?'

Of course, it was reality.

For a moment, I almost looked at Cha Yujin with suspicious eyes, but soon, without thinking further, I naturally slipped myself.

To be honest, funny enough, I was just going to let go since I was about to lose strength in my hands after two games in a row.

"Gasp!"

"Moondae hyung, are you okay?"

"Yeah, I'm fine."

While Cha Yujin pretended to ask me if I was okay as my climb was delayed, Bae Sejin already climbed far up.

And he touched the hold of the goal.

"Done...!!"

Bae Sejin's face was flushed as he looked back.

"All right, the blue team wins!"

"Ooh!"

The other members forgot about the tension and applauded Bae Sejin, who was holding the goal hold triumphantly.

'I'm also done.'

I let out a sigh of relief as I landed on the floor.

First of all, I successfully lost the game naturally.

Subsequently, after Cha Yujin came down flauntingly while doing some acrobatic movements, the two winners also landed on the floor.

"No but, didn't you say you were going to win, Yujin~"

"I won! Moondae hyung lost to Sejin hyung."

"Hey."

I intentionally struck Cha Yujin on the back. The interested parties, who were watching the filming from behind, hurriedly suppressed their laughter.

"Ouch! You made a hole in my back!"

I left Cha Yujin alone, who was making a fuss for anyone to see and talked to Bae Sejin.

"You're pretty good at this, hyung."

"Well, it just happened... by chance."

Despite his words, he had a proud expression.

It was then that Keun Sejin met my eyes while bantering with Cha Yujin who was making a fuss.

"..."

I slightly pointed with my chin to Keun Sejin.

Keun Sejin slowly opened his mouth.

"...I know right! You did great. Hyung."

"...!!"

Looking at his shoulders, it seems that Bae Sejin got startled, but fortunately, his face quickly regained his composure.

"...Okay. Thank you. You also... did great."

"Haha."

The two gave a very polite high-five.

Even if they did it for the camera, it was clear that the anger had subsided a bit.

'They both must have been thinking a lot, last night.'

Cha Yujin, who was happily watching from the side, whispered to me in English.

"...Are you talking from experience?"

Even though I could hold an English conversation because of the attribute that made it faster to learn, it was hard to understand half of the things this guy was saying because he didn't use standard English. Just how many times did the word 'like' appear in a sentence?

...Of course, I shouldn't criticize him for having good judgment.

'As I thought, it's not that he's slow-witted, it's just that he can't read the room.'

I patted Cha Yujin on the back.

"Well done."

"Of course!"

As we did a fist bump as if celebrating being in second place, I realized that the filming had passed safely.

And our preparation to create a moderately calm atmosphere for the two, who were fighting, to talk, finished sooner than expected.
