【Best Comment】 Wow, now they’re even recruiting idols? JeLSof is really taking off.
└ 【Best Comment】 That’s Retaking and Honeybread.
└ Why did this happen
【Best Comment】 Honeybread is insanely handsome, wtf, wasn’t he supposed to be a fellow old dude like us? Betrayal.
└ And thus, Honeybread becomes a traitor.
Like seriously, Retaking isn’t allowed to look like that; he’s breaking all the balance rules.
└ Please, it’s “allowed” not “aloud.”

I was wondering what the fuss was about lol.
Saying "If you’re curious, go check~" while literally showing it all in the picture already lololol.
Not trying to be sarcastic but seriously curious—why does Retaking even need a bodyguard?
└ My thoughts exactly.
└ +22
└ +333
└ +444455555666666777777788888888

You can already see Nalreum-jwa (lit. 'Lick-it-up guy') getting all giddy.
Look at Honeybread’s watch lololololol.
└ Dude must be seriously loaded.
└ Of course he is; that's how he can game all day at his age.
└ (Comment hidden by community guidelines)
You can tell he grew up spoiled, cocky as hell.
└ ?
└ I don’t know, he just seems confident, not cocky.
└ He does give off major “coddled rich kid” vibes though.
└ Wow, everyone’s suddenly a professional face-reader now. You can’t even tell what’s okay to say anymore lol.
└ Honeybread came here to game, not to hear this kind of crap.
└ These days, if you look remotely successful, people just automatically hate you lol. And if you’re tall and handsome too? Inferiority complex goes nuclear.
└ Honeybread was born with a platinum spoon lol. └ ah f*ck └ ah f*ckkkkkkkkkkkkkkk born with a platinum spoon lmaooooooo └ lololololol I was about ✧ NоvеIight ✧ (Original source) to get pissed reading the comments but then just lost it laughing.

Newbie events, returnee events are all good, but don’t forget about existing players too.
└ They’re already doing a ton of stuff for the 2nd anniversary though, why complain?
How can a hardcore gamer even have specs like that? God damn, life feels good right now.

Title: They’re Like This Even on Livestream
Author: [Jeoba] Hamsteok
Q: (Officially) How do you feel about facing each other?

Honeybread: I’ll answer after I win. ㅎ
Q: Ah, okay. Then Retaking, what’s your mindset going into the match?
Retaking: Planning to make sure he can’t even open his mouth. ㅎㅎ

They’re really doing the most. Absolute stir-fry levels of chaos.

It’s basically their identity now.

The nonstop commitment to the bit.
Honestly curious who’s gonna win.
└ Same.
Why are they both overflowing with confidence like that lol.
└ Neither of them is even pretending to be polite. You can tell both are thinking, "No matter what, I’m gonna win, and this guy’s just funny."

Can’t believe our community finally made the trending list without keywords like race-baiting, teabagging, clout-chasing, or loot scamming.
ㅇ @qlrPdmltkfa · 10 minutes ago
What even are “that CQ,” “face god,” and “god class half-elf”... how are these three our trending keywords right now?

Jaebbang’s face is INSANE; I wanna punch 10-minutes-ago me for trying to avoid the stream.
Jaebbang is real. Period.

Retaking keeps sneaking glances at Honeybread—is it okay if I start daydreaming even though they’re just regular people?

For real, Honeybread’s voice is super clear and his diction’s insane. You can tell he was the one always forced to present during group projects.

Are you kidding me, Retaking was that security guard???
***

I wasn’t as nervous as I thought I’d be. Definitely more jittery than back during school elections, but still, my voice didn’t shake, and the interview questions weren’t anything special, so by the end, I was even able to laugh and answer casually.
— "…And with that, we’ll wrap up the interview. Please move to your seats and get ready for the match! I’ll see you again shortly."
The MC collected our microphones and left the stage. Gang Jaegyung and I turned to head to the seats we’d been shown earlier.

That’s when Gang Jaegyung tapped my shoulder and whispered in my ear.
"Going straight home after the event?"
"...Probably?"

Why is he asking me that here?
"Instead of going right away, can you wait for me?"
"...Do you have to ask that right now?"

We were still standing on stage, cameras rolling, and people watching us from all directions.
"People are waiting, hurry up and answer."
"......"

"Quickly."
It hit me that he must have done this deliberately—pressuring me live on stage so I wouldn’t have time to think or say no. Probably aiming to get a quick "okay, fine, let’s go" out of me. And if it’s Retaking, there’s a high chance that's exactly what he was aiming for.
No way I’m falling for that. I lowered the hand I had raised to flick his forehead and instead shoved him lightly in the back.

"Ah."
"Go already."
And with that, I turned and headed to my seat first. I think he grumbled something behind me, but I couldn’t hear it over the commentators talking.

After sitting down, I picked up the headset next to me. Since I hadn’t put it on yet, I could still clearly hear the roar of the crowd and the commentators filling time by explaining our backgrounds.
— "Speaking about Retaking seonsu first, he’s widely known as a mentor and teacher figure among the Medical Corps players, with incredible intellect and overwhelming control."
— "Right. Playing a main healer like a Harmonizer, one of the hardest classes for solo PvP in Dusk, and yet he’s been the undisputed #1 Medical Corps player since he started. Just hearing that tells you how completely he understands and operates his class."

— "And one of his most famous strengths—he can calculate enemy skill cooldowns. He’s said himself he can’t track everything, but he’s known for memorizing cooldowns of major offensive, survival, and evasive skills, massively reducing opponent unpredictability…"
It was basic information anyone who had played Dusk or lurked on community forums would know. But considering not everyone watching the livestream was familiar, and some were even seeing the game for the first time, the commentators were thoroughly explaining who Retaking and I were.
