These Lunatics are Obsessed With Me

"Oh, that's…”

I looked at Kang Yoo-hyun with a flustered expression. I blinked in surprise as the door suddenly opened and Kang Yoo-hyun came out.

“Han Yi Jin?”

“…!”

However, Kang Yoo-hyun’s expression didn’t appear as displeased as I had anticipated.

I wondered if it would have been different if he had called me to his room like last time, and I worried he might be annoyed with me for showing up unannounced.

Surprisingly, he didn’t seem to be. He just looked a bit puzzled as his eyes swept over my startled face.

“Um, so…”

I quickly averted my gaze. I hadn’t expected to run into him so suddenly, but now that it had happened, I needed to come up with an excuse to use the item on Kang Yoo-hyun. I hurriedly tried to think of a convincing reason.

A few ideas crossed my mind, but no matter how I phrased them, they all felt awkward. Things might be different if it were Eden and Kang Soo-hyun, but I couldn’t think of any reason for getting close to him…

‘Ah.’

There’s just one. As soon as the thought crossed my mind, my lips moved on their own.

“D-Disney+!”

“What?”

“I wanted to watch that American drama I saw before. It’s only available in your room, right? Disney+.”

“Ah…”

Kang Yoo-hyun slowly nodded at my words. But would he really agree to my request? We weren’t that close, and I doubted he would let me into his room. After all, Kang Yoo-hyun is a territorial protagonist…

“Come in.”

“…”

…Or at least, that’s what I expected. But Kang Yoo-hyun opened the door for me. I looked at him in surprise for a moment.

“Are you not coming in?”

“No, I will.”

Just as Kang Yoo-hyun looked like he was about to close the door again, I hurriedly stepped inside. Kang Yoo-hyun, who had been standing to the side by the door, slowly closed it as I entered.

Click.

“…”

His room was still dark as usual. He must not like bright places because he was still suffering from his trauma. I blinked for a moment in a place that even the heroines in the novel couldn't set foot. This was my second time here, yet it still felt unreal.

“What did you watch last time?”

“Oh, that one—the one that’s on the list now.”

I quickly said it when the drama I had watched appeared on the large screen. While others couldn’t even purchase it if they wanted to, Kang Yoo-hyun—who rarely watched anything—had the drama I’d watched listed right at the top.

If he wasn’t planning to watch it, why not just set it up in my room too? I wanted to shout that out, but I quickly sat down before the drama started. Then, I unknowingly asked…

"Do you have any snacks?"

“…”

When watching a drama or movie, it’s only natural to enjoy some savory snacks. The same goes for playing games. Of course, cup noodles taste best during a gaming session, but for some reason, I couldn’t imagine Kang Yoo-hyun eating them while he played. Still, he must have at least some snacks, right? I looked at him with anticipation, and his large frame stirred.

“…Wait a minute."

“Okay.”

Kang Yoo-hyun’s hand moved aimlessly in the air, as if he were rummaging through his inventory.

What kind of snacks was he looking for? Shouldn’t he have some in his room? I pondered this as I turned my head, hoping he would offer me some salty potato chips—or perhaps something sweet like caramel popcorn…

“…”

While I stared at the screen, lost in trivial thoughts, I couldn't ignore the unsettling energy beside me. Eventually, despite my reluctance, I turned my head.

“You… what are you doing…?”

“…”

Kang Yoo-hyun's eyes were red as he stared into the void. Wait, why were they red? Didn’t his eyes change colour only when he used a skill? Normally, they turned blue when he activated a skill, not red… Finally, his gaze shifted toward me.

“Just… wait a moment.”

“What? Hey, where are you going!”

Kang Yoo-hyun suddenly disappeared in an instant. He couldn’t have used a teleportation skill like Kang Soo-hyun, so did he move so quickly that I didn’t even see him? But where did he go?

…He didn’t run out to buy a snack, did he? No, something urgent must’ve come up, and he had to leave. Could he really have rushed out just because I asked for a snack? No way, haha. That would be completely absurd.

“Oh… You're back?"

“…”

Kang Yoo-hyun returned sooner than I expected. That’s right. He couldn’t have just gone out to buy a snack. He must have stepped out because something urgent came up. But my thoughts stopped completely when he opened his inventory and items tumbled out.

Tudududuk!

“…”

A mountain of snacks began to accumulate in Kang Yoo-hyun’s room. It looked like he had brought one of every type—bags of chips, boxes of snacks, unfamiliar treats, chocolates, candies, and gummies—all neatly stacked.

Was he… trying to empty out an entire convenience store? I stood up from my seat and stepped back to avoid the snacks that had piled up on the floor.

“Wh-what is this?”

“Snacks.”

“…”

I was at a loss for words as I stared at Kang Yoo-hyun. He met my gaze with a look that seemed to ask, What’s the problem? Meanwhile, an endless stream of snacks continued to spill out from his inventory.

“Didn’t you say you wanted snacks?”

“…”

This crazy bastard…

Stuck in the corner of the room, I alternated my gaze between Kang Yoo-hyun and the towering pile of snacks in disbelief.

The snack incident that completely startled me was quickly resolved by keeping only what I could eat right away and storing the rest in the inventory. The mountain of snacks that had filled the spacious room felt almost surreal.

I mean, wasn’t it a bit excessive to buy that many snacks just because I mentioned wanting one? I was still baffled by the absurdity of it.

In the end, all I had was a single bag of potato chips. After all that trouble, why did this one bag feel so heavy? I suppressed a sigh as I slowly munched on the chips.

[Wahahaha!]

"…"

Loud laughter filled the room. Even though I knew I should stay focused, I couldn’t help but sneak glances at Kang Yoo-hyun sitting beside me. It was time to get things started.

Kang Yoo-hyun, who had been severely affected by the side effects of the Catnip skill after clearing the Muspelheim dungeon, was resting at the accommodation like I was. But unlike me, this main character had more on his plate. The rating anomaly still hadn’t fully cleared up.

Now that I had the chance, I had to find a way to use the item. But how should I bring it up? If I just blurted it out, I’d probably end up buried underground!

“Hmm…”

I groaned without realizing it as I was contemplating, then looked to the side in surprise and saw Kang Yoo-hyun staring at me.

“Why?”

“Uh…”

“Do you have something to say?”

Kang Yoo-hyun glanced at me and asked. Normally, I'd feel scared when he looks at me like that, but today, for some reason, I didn't. I was still a little anxious, but I knew he wouldn’t hurt me. Alright, it was time to bring it up. I made up my mind and opened my mouth.

"Well… now that I think about it, I haven't thanked you yet."

"Thanked me?"

"Yes."

I spent the entire night trying to come up with a convincing excuse to use the item on Kang Yoo-hyun, but nothing seemed right. I couldn’t just recklessly take it out and use it either; I’d be dead before I even had the chance.

In the end, the best scenario I came up with was to repay Kang Yoo-hyun for saving me in the Muspelheim dungeon. After all, he had come to rescue me alone when I was kidnapped by Baek Si-hoo and Evan.

“You came to my rescue in the dungeon, even though the raid team was in disarray.”

“…”

Kang Yoo-hyun likely had no idea how chaotic the raid team was when he came to find me, but I was still thankful.

If he hadn’t shown up, I would have been taken to the Laufey Guild, and I couldn’t even begin to imagine what they might have done to me.

Just the thought of it was enough to send a chill down my spine. However, Kang Yoo-hyun responded with a calm expression.

“I just did what I had to do.”

“Well, of course, saving people must have been natural to you…”

“It’s not like that.”

“…?”

Kang Yoo-hyun interrupted me with a firm tone. When I glanced at him in surprise, I saw that he was staring at me with a serious expression.

“It mattered because it was you.”

“…!”

It felt like my heart had dropped. I looked at Kang Yoo-hyun in shock before slowly turning my gaze away.

“…”

That must mean my auxiliary skill… is that important, right?

It finally clicked, and I understood what Kang Yoo-hyun was trying to say. I nodded earnestly.

“Um… thanks?”

“Han Yi-jin, I…”

“Anyway, you saved my life.”

I pretended not to notice the heavy atmosphere and kept talking. Kang Yoo-hyun looked like he wanted to say something more, but I was so flustered that I couldn't quite catch it. In the end, I just mechanically took an item out of my inventory.

"Do you want to try this? I heard the rankers go crazy for it."

"That's…”

Kang Yoo-hyun's expression changed when I pulled out the Sweet Sleep item. He must have been surprised, likely because he’d been looking for it too. I feigned ignorance and kept talking.

“It’s an S-grade, so it should work well for you.”

“Where did you get it? Did you get scammed?”

“What?”

You were the one who got scammed, you main character.

I bit back the urge to retort and spoke up instead.

“I didn’t get scammed! Now, do you want to try it?"

“…”

He then fixed his gaze on me. I thought he might eagerly accept the item, since it was exactly what he had been searching for. But instead, he looked at both me and the item with a suspicious expression. Kang Yoo-hyun's eyes turned blue for a moment as he inspected the item.

“…It does seem real.”

“Ah, I told you it’s the real deal!”

I could understand his uncertainty, but I was starting to get annoyed. Without meaning to, my words came out a little harsh.

“Here, give it a try.”

“…”

I held out the item, but instead of taking it, Kang Yoo-hyun just stared at me.

What a frustrating guy. As I sighed inwardly, Kang Yoo-hyun finally looked up.

“Then you do it.”

“Me?”

“Yeah, do it for me.”

“…?”

What kind of ridiculous request is that? I bit my lip to keep from cursing. Since he was suspicious, I had to go along with it for now.

"Alright… here I go, then?"

The situation had become a bit strange, but I held the item firmly. The Sweet Sleep item, resembling a perfume bottle, was applied just like perfume. I raised it toward him…

Chik.

I sprayed it.

Before long, a faint mist from the item enveloped Kang Yoo-hyun's body.
