Lay Low C.54
This is MTL Work. Just for fun.
Episode 54
What question is this now? Are you asking me if I am an M? Ui-jae crumpled his expression and shot back as if he was saying some bullshit.
“Are you sure?”
He frowned without even looking at the projection.
“How is this different from the container before?”
“Hey, compare it to that place? It’s much cleaner. There’s even a blanket and pillow.”
“Clean the container and bring in the blankets and pillows. It’s the same.”
“It’s different. They are holding a ceremony to move to Incheon Port, that’s it.”
Sa-young was really dumbfounded. He took him to a hangover soup restaurant because he was worried Ui-jae might be tired, but a small room appeared where he could stretch his legs. Then, as if it were a given, Cha Ui-jae took off his old sneakers and crawled into the room.
If he had been the same as usual, he wouldn't have been so noticeable. However, Sa-young didn't intend to be cruel to the person who had come to help him. However, when he thought about Ui-jae getting beaten up in a way that didn't suit his temper, he just sat there and did nothing.
“… … .”
"Hey… . Your expression is strange.”
"What?"
Would the transport truck have arrived by now? Instead of handing it over to the management, he should have handled it himself.
Lee Sa-young eventually decided to completely revise his original plan. The original plan was to take Cha Ui-jae home and return immediately, but after seeing Ui-jae's 'house', he couldn't leave him lying down in a place like this. After Sa-young made sure he had gloves on his hands, he pulled Ui-jae's arm.
“Come on.”
Ui-jae's eyes widened, perhaps because it was an unexpected reaction.
"Huh?"
Sa-young stubbornly grabbed his arm.
“Because we have somewhere to go.”
The silent standoff continued briefly. In fact, Cha Ui-jae was not one to lose due to stubbornness. However, when he looked at Sa-young's face, which was glaring at him with his mouth shut, the thought that he was going to do something by holding on to him as a child began to creep into his head. Ui-jae shrugged his shoulders and put on his sneakers.
“I understand, I understand. What? Do you have anything more to ask?”
Sa-young wordlessly tore down the emergency escape button once again.
After a while, they arrived at the entrance of a house. It was as big as dozens of hangover soup restaurants, with a lot of exaggeration, put together, but it was a space that had a hollow feel than simply being big.
Ui-jae felt strange. This is because even though it was a space where people lived, he could not feel any warmth from the house.
“Where is this?”
“My house.”
Lee Sa-young, who answered briefly, headed into the house as if there was nothing strange at all and opened the refrigerator door. He saw that the packaged snacks and bottled water were neatly arranged inside. Lee Sa-young took out his water, drank it, and pointed to a door. It seemed like a bathroom.
“Wash. I’ll put clothes for change in front of the room.”
The bathroom in this damn house was also very spacious. Ui-jae still felt uncomfortable, so he quickly took a shower and opened the door slightly to check his clothes. New, unopened underwear and a navy-blue silk pajama set were neatly laid out.
‘Hey… do you sleep in your pajamas?’
Ui-jae unconsciously thought of Sa-young in his pajamas, but quickly erased the thought. Even though they were not that big, there were still loose-fitting. Ui-jae rolled up his sleeves and went to find Sa-young. Sa-young was sitting on a recliner chair in a room that looked like a bedroom. Sa-young glanced at Ui-jae and pointed to the bed.
“Sleep over there.”
A king-sized bed was placed at his fingertips. It seemed like it would be enough for two people to lie down on. However, he didn’t want to lie down next to Sa-young, but he didn’t want to lie down alone in bed, leaving the landlord behind, so he answered casually.
“I’m not such a conscienceless person, am I? Just give me one pillow. I’ll sleep on the floor.”
“Sleep in bed.”
“Okay. If you have a sleeping bag, just give me one.”
Ha, there was a sound of wind falling. It was the sound of Sa-young laughing. He twitched the corner of his mouth.
“Who carries a sleeping bag these days?”
“Back in my day, sleeping bags were a dungeon necessity, you bastard.”
“We’re four years older than each other, but you know it’s a fact, hyung. Anyone who said it will think I've been a hunter for 10 years.”
It was a frighteningly accurate fact. But the moment you say it's true, it becomes a problem. So Ui-jae answered shamelessly.
“It’s so nice to sleep in a sleeping bag, it’s like camping. And you live a hunter’s life so comfortably.”
“Yes, yes, I lived comfortably as a hunter, so from today on, I will live uncomfortably. Lie down.”
“Can you stop making me into some unscrupulous brat who comes to someone else’s house and steals their bed?”
“I tell you to lie down because it seems like an even worse bastard to let you lie down on the floor.”
“You’re such a son of a bitch, why do you care about that?”
“If you would just listen to me once”
“Equal contractual relationship, you punk. Am I your subordinate? Not a superior-subordinate relationship, but equal.”
As they argued, their temper gradually boiled over, perhaps because they were both angrier. The furniture in the room rattled and shook slightly. However, the two did not care and raised their voices. The voices of two men rang out in the empty house.
Whush!
When an ominous sound was heard from inside the room, the two people who had been arguing over trivial matters raising their voices suddenly fell silent as if they had made a promise.
There was a hole in the middle of the large mattress and soft blanket.
Sa-young and Ui-jae, standing side by side in front of the broken bed, sighed at the same time. If only the bed frame had been broken, they would have been able to fix it somehow and sleep on it, but since the mattress was broken, there was no way to fix it. Isn’t it possible to have a mattress the size of a door like this shipped quickly?
Ui-jae muttered as he looked at the mattress with a hole in it, like a black hole in the sky.
“I’ll pay you back.”
The room was a mess.
“What are you paying me for when you don’t have any money?”
“… You can just sell the magic stone.”
“Ah, f*ck… Don’t even bring up the magic stone.”
Sa-young growled. The words that followed had a somewhat grumbling tone.
“Because of that, there was an article saying that Jeong-bin and I are on good terms.”
“… … .”
Ui-jae bowed his head solemnly. Was this how the hunters felt when they met by chance and had a brief conversation and then got into a relationship rumor? Lee Sa-young and Jeong-bin just exchanged information and ate hangover soup. He decided not to believe gossip about celebrities and hunters.
Lee Sa-young muttered, his arms folded like a solemn doctor.
“Just wait.”
He took out a gas mask from his inventory, put it on, and then suddenly disappeared. Ui-jae, who was left alone, glanced at the mattress. And then his eyes met the bed frame that had completely split in half and collapsed.
How many bowls of haejangguk would it take to pay for this? He didn't know, but it wouldn't be a reasonable price considering that it's for that picky Lee Sa-young. Ui-jae let out a deep sigh.

It's 11pm, when most of the guild members have left work and only a few on-duty workers remain at work. At the perfect time to lie down at the end of the day and browse UTube or the community, a post came up. It was a blind bulletin board for the Wave Guild.
Title: [Anonymous]
All the blankets and pillows in the breakroom were taken out.
240 took all the blankets and pillows from the sleeping room.

― A dreamer named Seolpoonda
- no fun
- good night
The Wave Guild members naturally ignored him. This was a joke that couldn't be dismissed as a joke. There are levels to aggro.
But immediately another post came up. This time, there was also a photo of the breakroom.
Title: [Anonymous] He really wiped everything out??? (Verification O)

It's true
I saw it clearly

- Eh
- Where are all the pillows and blankets???
- Didn’t the cleaning people take it to wash it?
- Clean during the day when no one is around. There's someone there, but they didn't take it.
- 240 really took it?
- Please tell me
― Brother, please tell me quickly. The beautiful hunter is waiting.
- Wow, I just woke up.
The shower room and breakroom of the Wave Guild were a kind of guild member welfare facility. It was a place where hunters who became extremely sensitive after conquering dungeons could comfortably rest.
Perhaps because of that purpose, the quality of the Wave Guild's breakroom was very excellent. Not only are you assigned one room per person, but beds and bedding to help you sleep well are standard. The breakroom, which was even equipped with dungeon-made scents that were excellent for relieving tension, was one of the many points of pride of the Wave Guild.
But all the precious bedding in that breakroom was taken out. Only the bed was left. And the one who took it out was Lee Sa-young! It was an unbelievable story. But there was even a proof shot. What kind of guild member would manipulate a photo and say something about Lee Sa-young? There was only one conclusion.
This post is real.
It was a story that woke them up immediately. They were cursed with eagerly awaiting the next text for the crime of looking at the post before going to bed. They helplessly refreshed the post and waited for a savior to solve the mystery.
Just before the Wave Guild members dried up and died, the owner of the post came back. With more details.
Title: [Anonymous] E40 Jangbaljang Sledding (10 minutes later, it blew up)
I worked overtime to write a report.
After finishing work, I don't feel like going home.
So, I just slept in the breakroom and lay down to go to work.
But someone slammed the door of the sleeping room next door!! It was at 11pmㅡㅡ
I opened the door and checked because I was wondering what kind of dog manners ** it was.
It was 240
From this point on, I couldn't think of anything. I really just felt like I was watching a movie.
240 Took the breakroom blanket and pillow.
It's not like he took just one. He sweeping all the rooms.
It looked like he was going to tear the bed apart, but he just took the blankets.
I was in the innermost room?
As 240 got closer and closer, I started to lose my senses.
I thought I was going crazy, I was afraid mine would be taken away too.
We made eye contact while hugging the blanket like that.
Luckily, he didn't take mine.
He kindly closed the door and left.
