9 Picked up an other world wolf (1/2)
Joonbum let out a big breath as he started driving.
'Didn't know she was inside the perimeter… she came together with me.'
His mind was swirling with thoughts. He needed to do something about the wolf.
'He's not going to move anytime soon, but if someone finds him...'
Thinking of someone accidentally finding the wolf gave him chills. It would spell disaster.
'All hell would let loose.'
First the police, then the fire department… there's also the possibility of military intervention. All specialists will be dispatched to capture the gigantic wolf. It will end up in a cage. As big as it was, it was not much of a threat here. If it ran rampant, it would only mean a quick death for the beast.
'That's not the only problem. Crap!'
He opened the window so he could smoke, but the foul air made him scowl.
”Ugh, damn it. They better do something about the pollution first!”
Joonbum lost the appetite for smoking and sped up his car instead. After an hour of driving, he was at his destination. The place was a PC bang located on the second floor of a three-story building. He used to be a regular because of its latest equipment and tons of customer service.
”Welcome.”
An employee welcomed Joonbum as he entered the store.
”Hi. Is the seat available?”
”Sure, number 58 right?”
She remembered where Joonbum usually sat.
”Two orders of gimbap and a coke. I'll pay at the end.”
”Sure.”
'Ah, she's giving me that look again. I should've gone somewhere else.'
Joonbum took what he said from the counter and went over to his seat as the employee watched him closely as if he had done something wrong.
”Hah, this is it,” he said to himself after having a sip of the ice-cold coke. He then moved his hand over to the computer.
'I'll edit it a bit and upload it right away.'
Joonbum opened the footage he got from the other world and started editing.
'Should I cut my face out or not?'
He wasn't sure, so he gave some thought to the issue.
'Okay, I've decided.'
He remembered there were a lot of online videos that had no words. It just showed what was happening and it was enough. He smiled.
”Yeah, that'll do. I don't have to worry about needless attention. I won't need to edit it much either. I can just cut it in a few hours…'
Joonbum cut out the early part of the video where he spoke a lot, censored few screens where his face was shown and erased his voice. The video was cut down to twenty files, and the length of each video was two hours when it was done.
”Nothing to edit, no explanation, no background music… it's a piece of cake! Here goes one.”
He readied the file to upload it onto the server then stopped suddenly.
”Wait, I don't have a title yet. Exploration of fantasy world? Going to the other world? Monster hunter? Hmm…”
Many names went through his mind but he couldn't find the right one.
As Joonbum ate and drank what he ordered, Jiyoung Kim, who was eyeing on him from the beginning, smirked.
'That pig came again. Who drinks coke with gimbap anyway? What a pig-like way of thinking.'
To Jiyoung, Joonbum was not a regular. He was just some moron who persistently asked for a specific spot when he only came once or twice occasionally and only stayed there for less than two hours at most.
'What a streamer you are. Tsk.'
The owner told her that he was a streamer and that led her attention to him, but he was that kind of a garage band rockstar at best.
'At least he knows he's not worthy of me.'
She once tried to get close to him but quickly stopped. At least Joonbum didn't seem to mind as if he knew that he was not worthy of such a woman. But Joonbum not giving her any attention irked her even more, leading to her annoyance against him.
'Does he think I'm a nobody because I'm a part-timer at a PC bang? Is that pig is ignoring me?'
As he started to smoke, smog rose from his spot and was absorbed by a nearby fan, which Jiyoung watched with a disgusted look on her face. Unbeknownst to the annoyed employee, Joonbum's mind was filled with something else.

”I will go with this.”
He moved his mouse to upload the named video. When the uploading was complete, he quickly logged out of the computer and got up.
”How much is it?”
