Shooo~~ I returned ho and took a hot shower first. What just happened to a mont ago? I wondered if I had so strange delusions due to being drunk, but on the coffee table in the living room, the Ga & Watch I received from the elder was still there.
"This is strange..."
I sat on the sofa in light clothing and picked up the Ga & Watch from the table. It displayed the ti, indicating it was 1 a.m. If I wanted to get to work tomorrow, it would be best to sleep soon, but after the bizarre experience I just had, I didn't feel like falling asleep that easily.
Kang Junhyuk: "Clack."
The latch on the Ga & Watch's cover happily opened. The story of how the design of this Ga & Watch borrowed from the double-screen design of the reigning king of portable devices, the Nintendo 3GS, was already famous.
Kang Junhyuk: "It's simple, but fun. That's what gas are all about."
Ding. Ding. Tick-tick. Monotonous sound effects echoed in the living room. I found myself focusing on the ga without even turning on the TV. Initially, the gaplay was so slow that I was on the verge of yawning, but as my score reached 100,000 points, the speed gradually increased. The buyer kept delaying appointnts, and the owner kept wandering off for no apparent reason.
Kang Junhyuk: "The owner character here looks just like our company's CEO, lol."
Looking at the buyer who appeared leisurely, I added another comnt.
Kang Junhyuk: "And this guy looks like a team leader. Always setting eting tis at his own convenience and coming in late..."
I couldn't help it. I couldn't resist. I controlled the protagonist like a maniac, so much that my fingers felt numb. Even though it was my first ti playing the ga, I couldn't help but admire the level design that allowed to adapt to the ga without any tutorials.
Ping-ping-ping!! Ping!! Ping! Beep-beep-beep!!
The sound effects sped up as my finger movents beca faster. Before I knew it, I had crossed 300,000 points, and the in-ga protagonist was moving left and right as if performing a martial arts stunt.
"Just a bit more, just a bit..."
Beep-beep-beep... GA OVER.
In the end, unable to pass the stack of approval docunts that had accumulated due to the head's frequent absences, I had to settle for a score of 520,000 and end the ga.
Kang Junhyuk: "Ah, my fingers hurt... What ti is it now?"
I looked at my watch while massaging my numb fingers.
Kang Junhyuk: "2:30!? Crazy, I've been playing this for an hour and a half!"
Good gas are like ti machines. Ti seems to fly by when you're imrsed in the ga. I looked at the Ga & Watch with a bewildered expression. Then, a display appeared at the top of the screen, showing rankings based on the ga score. My score of 528,200 put in 3rd place. 2nd place had 800,000 points, and 1st place had 900,000 points. How do you even reach 1st place in this?
I pressed the confirmation button and moved to the next screen. Another ssage appeared at the top.
Your score will be converted to a salary. In this playthrough, you have earned 5,282,000 yen. -
Kang Junhyuk: "Huh? Salary...? Oh, right, this was a company employee ga. It converts the score to a salary and shows it to you. Interesting!"
Below the score display, there was an accumulated salary display that continued to increase based on the score I had achieved.
Kang Junhyuk: "I earned over 50 million won in just an hour and a half. Haha."
Though I had invested a precious hour and a half of sleep, I didn't feel bad. Even though the events in the ga store still bothered , focusing on the ga made ntally exhausted, and I soon fell asleep under the covers.
"Starting today, I'll be working with all of you as the head of the developnt team," Kang Junhyuk introduced himself to the new departnt.
It was his first greeting in the new departnt. The Custor Satisfaction Team was quite separate from the developnt departnt, so even though he saw the employees' faces, there hadn't been many opportunities to beco close. He had been stuck in the developnt room during working hours, so it was difficult to get friendly with employees from other departnts. In the slightly awkward atmosphere, Kang placed props on the empty head position.
"I won't bother you, just continue with your usual work. I need so ti to adapt as well. Haha..."
Then, in the cramped office, he heard whispers among the employees. Sowhere, he heard the word "demotion." Demotion... Yes, that's right. Going from a team leader in the developnt room to the head of the Custor Satisfaction Team was practically a step down.
During the calm morning work hours with not much to do, Kang thought about getting closer to the employees and stopped by a coffee shop below the company.
"Eight Aricanos, please."
As he placed the coffee order, Kang leaned back in his chair and gazed out of the window. Eight cups of coffee for 36,000 won. It was more expensive than most als. How much balance was left this month? Even though he lived alone and paid off his bank loan every month, he felt 36,000 won was quite a lot. Perhaps because of this coffee he bought for the employees, he might have to skip lunch for a few days.
And a little later, as Kang checked his account balance on his smartphone, he involuntarily gasped.
"What, what is this?"
Balance: 53,000,000 won? There was no way there could be over 50 million won in his account. What, is this so new scam? Kang quickly examined the transaction history. 2:32 AM, Depositor: Ga & Watch 52,820,000 won.
Kang stared blankly at his smartphone, then blinked his eyes. However, the amount of money that had entered his account was exactly the sa as the ga score he had cleared yesterday. It was just that the yen had been converted to won.
"Hey, custor! Your coffee is ready!"
Startled by the employee's voice, Kang looked at the counter. He could see a hint of annoyance in the employee's expression; they had called him several tis already.
"Ah, I'm sorry. I was lost in thought for a mont."
Kang quickly took his coffee and left the coffee shop. However, his still astonished heart didn't calm down, so he took a mont to sit on a bench and catch his breath.
Calm down, Kang Junhyuk. Sothing very strange is happening to you right now. But you need to stay calm. After a while, Kang, who had barely settled his mind, returned to the Custor Satisfaction Team office with the coffee.
"Have so coffee, everyone."
"Oh, thank you."
Handing out coffee to the departnt employees, whom he hadn't beco close with yet, seed to ease the slightly awkward atmosphere sowhat.

During lunchti that day, while all the departnt employees were out eating, Kang, who was alone in the office, took out the Ga & Watch from his bag. He had brought it with him to reminisce about yesterday's events, but seeing it again gave him a very mysterious feeling.
"So, this is actually a company employee ga that gives you a salary?"
Click. Kang opened the cover of the Ga & Watch once more to double-check.
