Join the ServerIt was to soothe his own hollow feelings after confirming that Seon Woo-min, who knew nothing but work and home, had shut himself away in his rented room.
Lee Do-kyung, who had once boasted such a strong s*x drive that Woo-min called him a “pervert,” these days didn’t even talk to women at clubs, let alone go for second rounds.
On his days off, he used to take Woo-min, who was usually a homebody, camping in the suburbs or go on trips.
Now, since they were nothing to each other, he passed the time meeting people or exercising.
[Hyung hyung hyung, are you busy?
Could you please check a file for me real quick?] Ping-Pong5
“Ah, damn…”
Heaving his heavy body up and going to the kitchen, Lee Do-kyung poured a glass full of cola instead of his beloved wine and headed into the office room.
He sat down at the desk, about to click on the messenger window, but stopped and fell into thought.
He had bought a figure he didn’t even need because of Seon Woo-min, but the problem was how to give it to him.
No matter how much he scrutinized Woo-min at the café, it was hard to find any clue that he was a Mung Bean fan.
Even if he openly showed it, Woo-min would never readily accept a figure shoved at him out of nowhere.
“Hmm.”
Rolling his eyes habitually and staring at the ceiling, Lee Do-kyung decided to go simple.
Become reasonably friendly with Seon Woo-min online, then sell the figure cheap.
If he offered it for free, Woo-min might get suspicious and unnecessarily defensive.
And if exchanging the figure made them closer than they were now, even better.
Regardless, the Invincible Power Kitty Corps was closely related to Seon Woo-min’s death, so approaching Woo-min through this was a pretty good way to learn about sides of him he hadn’t known.
Since it was on his mind, he typed ‘Invincible Power Kitty Corps’ into the search bar.
Various fan cafes and communities filled the screen.
Things he hadn’t even glanced at when checking Namuwiki.
Entering the large fan community boasting the largest number of users, Lee Do-kyung recalled and typed in the ID of the email address Seon Woo-min used to use.
nokkdoo, nokkkdoo, nokkkdoo…
He looked through posts, changing the spelling this way and that, but none of the authors seemed like Seon Woo-min.
There were very few people using Mung Bean’s English name as their ID to begin with.
The email address was definitely nokkdoo1107, right?
Ah, I missed the numbers.
Muttering to himself, he pressed the enter key and shook his leg nervously.
[Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107)]
“…Found it.”
Lee Do-kyung’s pupils, fixed on the screen, trembled.
It’s too early to get excited, he told himself, calming down.
He clicked on the comments and posts left by ‘Nokddoongie Bokddoongie’ one by one.
[Comment: Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107) Happy birthday to brave Mung Bean, who came to us on the blessed day of March 30th 3333]
[Comment: Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107) Seriously, why do you keep saying Mung Bean is stupid?
What’s your basis for saying that?]
[Comment: Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107) Young Radish and Mung Bean’s positions don’t overlap at all.
Requesting Young Radish fans to control themselves, please.]
[Comment: Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107) Right, Green Laver has a one-sided crush on Mung Bean.
It’s obvious his ears perk up whenever Mung Bean moves.]
“What is this, Seon Woo-min…”
A grin spread across Lee Do-kyung’s lips.
[Title: The color balance of the Ruby Sword and Mung Bean!
Author: Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107)
Mung Bean, the cheese-colored cat, takes on scarlet and yellow hues depending on the sunlight.
The fact that the Ruby Sword is red seems like a stroke of genius.
The color combination is just so pretty.
Please release a Christmas edition Mung Bean with a red ribbon….
TT]
[Title: Mung Bean was an excellent strategist.
Author: Nokddoongie Bokddoongie (nokkdoo1107)
Mung Bean knew from the beginning that the three-headed snake’s habitat was the Ice Cave.
The map Mung Bean secured at the start of the Ice Cave episode is proof.
It wasn’t that the Kitty Corps was endangered because of Mung Bean; rather, the Kitty Corps first trusted and followed Mung Bean’s plan.
Even though Cherry was seriously injured, he never blamed Mung Bean, and Taro also got very angry when Mung Bean became depressed.]
“Keuk.”
Laying his head down, Lee Do-kyung pounded the desk repeatedly with his fist.
f*cking adorable…
His shoulders shook involuntarily as he tried to suppress his laughter.
Barely catching his breath, he lifted his flushed face.
He checked the remaining posts one by one, and became strongly convinced that this was unmistakably Seon Woo-min.
The biggest reason was that the email address he remembered matched, but the oddly cool yet neat tone was undeniably Woo-min.
After searching for and reading all the posts left by Nokddoongie Bokddoongie on other platforms as well, Lee Do-kyung’s expression had turned serious.
It was because he had been completely unaware that Seon Woo-min liked the Invincible Power Kitty Corps this much.
The Invincible Power Kitty Corps was an anime that aired when Lee Do-kyung was in kindergarten; the comic came first.
With the recent upload of the remastered version on OTT sites, it was enjoying explosive popularity, enough to be called a second golden age, and was said to have led a renaissance of animation.
The basic forms were a black tuxedo cat, a white cat, a tabby cat, a calico cat, and a cheese-colored cat as the Invincible Power Warriors.
Each used their own specialties and corresponding special weapons.
“Wow.
This much?”
Scratching the piercing on his eyebrow at the fact that those trivial five cats were this popular, Lee Do-kyung realized he had been completely unaware, as if it were a different world, even though they lived in the same era.
After thinking for a moment, he first applied to join the fan page where Seon Woo-min was most active.
The fandom was so large that there was even a separate app.
He downloaded that too.
Filling in the blanks and setting all information to private, he set his ID as ‘find_B12345’ and, after some deliberation, set his nickname to ‘Crispy!!!MungBeanPancake,’ the food he and Woo-min had enthusiastically eaten together.
[Question 1.
Which warrior miraculously recovered after breaking a leg in a trap?]
[Question 2.
Please list the five warrior cats in order of age.]
[Question 3.
What is the third bow that Taro uses made of?]
[Question 4.
If you add up all the limbs of the monsters encountered on the way to the Demon King’s castle, how many are there?]
[Question 5.
What answer did Young Radish write for the subjective question on the ‘Warrior Courage Test’?]
“What the…”
What were these questions he neither cared about nor wanted to know, and why was the fan page joining process this complicated?
Feeling like he was reading a foreign language text he had no clue about, Lee Do-kyung groaned in pain and buried his face in his hands.
Even back when he was job hunting, he had hated writing cover letters the most.
Thanks to opening a browser and employing his search skills, he managed to complete the application, but he couldn’t immediately chat with Seon Woo-min, aka ‘Nokddoongie Bokddoongie.’
Nokddoongie Bokddoongie was an executive-level member with a red badge, and his message window was blocked.
He had to leave a sincere greeting post, along with a certain number of posts and comments, before one-on-one communication became possible.
“I mean, what if someone has something important to say to an executive?
This is bullshit.”
[Hello!
I am┃]
For ten minutes, Lee Do-kyung, who had only been spinning around in his office chair with the cursor blinking, now just sprawled against the backrest of the chair like wet laundry, blinking his sleepy eyes.
How on earth was he supposed to write a sincere greeting post?
Should he go over the history of the Invincible Power Kitty Corps?
Should he drag in as many cat memes as possible?
He couldn’t get a feel for what they wanted.
Barely pulling himself together, Do-kyung combined various information he had found himself, including YouTube videos, wrote a post, and waited for approval.
Since he had churned out all the necessary posts for joining in less than ten minutes, he even had the useless worry that they might suspect he had ulterior motives.
Ulterior motives?
There’s no way I have such a thing.
Why am I even thinking like this over something so trivial…
Ddiring-.
He hadn’t expected to get approved the same day, but the approval notification message came quickly.
Crying out with joy, he immediately moved his cursor to ‘Nokddoongie Bokddoongie’ and clicked the speech bubble icon.
Now, what should he say?
This was another hurdle.
He knew Seon Woo-min, and he knew that Woo-min was Nokddoongie Bokddoongie, but the other side had no information about the sender.
The message would be received in that state, so he had to be careful not to cause unnecessary misunderstandings.
He wanted to hand over the figure as soon as possible and see the happy face of Seon Woo-min.
The back of Woo-min’s head as he turned away disappointed in front of the goods shop that day had been weighing on his mind.
All he wanted was to give the figure he had paid double to obtain as a gift, but the mountains he had to cross were numerous.
“Aha.”
A good idea came to him.
Lee Do-kyung, who had been noisily chewing cola ice cubes until his cheeks bulged, finally placed his hands on the keyboard.
