[1799940] Incompetent Department Statement Speculation [302]
Author: Anonymous E
Speculating about the Incompetent Department’s statement on CDM’s disappearance:
Just confirmed as unauthorized absence, will be subject to pay cut (seems most likely)
It’s a real disappearance but not kidnapping, so everyone calm down
We also think it’s kidnapping lol. But didn’t CDM enjoy being kidnapped first? lol If he just followed our instructions, he wouldn’t get kidnapped lol. Not following them means he just enjoys being kidnapped lolol. Anyway, it’s CDM’s fault
One of these must be true, agree?

[1799998] Will it be revealed soon whether it’s kidnapping or not? [193]
Author: Anonymous G
I have an acquaintance at the Central Center, and they said they’re going to check Chae Chae’s house today
They said they’ll summarize and announce their position as early as this evening or tomorrow morning at the latest
So the full story will probably be revealed soon
But regardless of this, I think the Incompetent Department should release a statement
Improve the treatment of high-ranking Guides, you bastards
And do you know what the worst point is?
Chae Chae gets kidnapped every year, every quarter, but the way the Incompetent Department operates remains the same lolol. It’s not funny at all
They say S-class Guides are rare, but they’re desperate because they can’t use them efficientlylolol
Summary: The reason the Incompetent Department is looking for Chae Chae is not for the noble cause of protecting Guides’ rights, but simply because the most efficient and easy-to-use Guide has disappeared

Anonymous &. 1 – But what’s the point of going to his house now..?
⤷ Author – They said they’ll check the entrance and corridor CCTVs
⤷ Anonymous G. 1 – OMG why didn’t they do this on the day of……
⤷ Anonymous E. 4 – It’s obvious, it’s the Incompetent Department’s way of handling things. They don’t do anything, but they at least have to look like they’re working
Anonymous &. 2 – The summary is the core of this post; Our Chae Chae is so pitiful,,,,,,,
Anonymous G. 2 – I also have an acquaintance at the same center as Chae Chae, and they said Chae Chae’s schedule is fucking murderous. They said it’s like his human rights have been stripped away
⤷ Anonymous E. 31 – Really? But why have I never met him even once
⤷ Anonymous E. 39 – That’s surprisingly simple. You’re just subpar. Unfortunately, there’s no other reason
Anonymous E. 1 – Damn Chae Chae hyung…. What kind of path have you been walking alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anonymous E. 2 – Ah……. Is this the ‘destiny’ that an ‘ultra-rare high-ranking Guide’ has to bear…..
Anonymous &. 3 – But there are quite a few people here claiming to be Chae Chae’s acquaintance or center staff, so the credibility is a bit…lolol Even with ability nicknames, it’s the same. There are just so many liars. So it’s hard to believe your words too
⤷ Anonymous E. 3 – 222222 It’s not that I’m doubting, I just can’t believe it,, because there are so many attention-seekers,,
⤷ Anonymous &. 4 – 3333333333
⤷ Author – Yeah, I thought there would be doubts because of the many trolls. It’s okay. You’re free to believe it or not
⤷ Anonymous &. 5 – There’s nothing to believe or not believe, isn’t checking CCTVs and releasing a statement just common sense? It’s just writing obvious things as if it’s information
⤷ Anonymous &. 3 – If it was so obvious, they wouldn’t be called the Incompetent Department, would they?
⤷ Anonymous &. 5 – Huh? Isn’t the Ability Department also an administrative department? But they handle things like this? It doesn’t make any sense..;
⤷ Anonymous E. 8 – zzzlol It’s a pseudo-administrative department. It’s a place that operates haphazardly, so there’s no system, and things that are obvious elsewhere don’t exist here

It seems I had dozed off at some point while thinking about Cream, who must be missing me in the empty house. Thanks to the blackout curtains, I was able to sleep soundly without being woken by the morning sun. As a result, my condition was at its best.
How long has it been since I’ve had such a good sleep? It felt like I was finally being compensated for the past three months of working in the field without a proper day off. This is what a proper life should be like. Stretching contentedly, I checked the clock on the bedside table.
“10:48? I woke up quite early.”
Maybe it’s because the bed was excellent, but I felt refreshed even though I hadn’t slept that long compared to how overworked I had been. Humming a tune, I got up and headed for the door. Sa Hae-geon must have closed it; the door that had been open until I went to bed was now firmly shut.
I put my ear to the door, holding my breath to check on Sa Hae-geon’s movements. It was quiet outside. I couldn’t hear any living noises like TV sounds. How good must the soundproofing be… As I was furrowing my brow and concentrating, I faintly heard Sa Hae-geon’s footsteps.
The sound was getting closer, as if he was coming to the room I was in. I hurriedly returned to the bed, covered myself with the blanket, and tightly closed my eyes. It’s clear that dealing with Sa Hae-geon from the morning would be tiring, so I had to use this childish method to reduce the time spent together.
“Hyung, are you awake? I’m coming in.”
With a knock, the doorknob turned, and soon Sa Hae-geon entered the room. Why did he check if I was awake if he was going to come in without waiting for my answer? It was utterly ridiculous.
Muffling the sound of his slippers, Sa Hae-geon approached and sat on the edge of the bed without making a sound. His movements were so light that for a moment, I almost opened my eyes thinking it was Cream.
‘…Could he have noticed I’m pretending to sleep?’
I did my best to pretend to be asleep, trying to suppress the anxiety rising in the suffocating silence. Even with my eyes closed, I could feel Sa Hae-geon closely observing every part of my face.
Sa Hae-geon continued to watch me without moving, literally motionless. Soon, I felt the bed tilt slightly and heard the sound of clothes brushing against the blanket.
‘What, what is he doing?’
Somehow, Sa Hae-geon’s breath seemed to have gotten closer. I could clearly feel his breathing as if he was breathing right into my ear.
“Hyung, I know you’re pretending to sleep.”
“…”
“You’ve been caught, so stop now.”
Sa Hae-geon spoke in a gentle voice while touching the ends of my hair. But when I stubbornly maintained my posture, he added as a warning:
“If you don’t get up now, I’m going to lie down next to you. I’m going to think that you’re expressing your desire to sleep with me in this way because you’re shy. And I’m going to hold you tight and lie here until evening. I won’t let go even if you say you’re hungry, is that okay?”
“…Ah, I slept so well.”
My eyes snapped open. It wasn’t particularly because of Sa Hae-geon’s nonsense, it’s just that I wasn’t sleepy anymore thanks to the rest I had.
“Good morning, hyung. Although it’s closer to lunchtime than morning.”
Sa Hae-geon’s eyes were gently rippling as if he was in a good mood, speaking with a voice mixed with laughter.
