Game On | j.w

Level 21

They all shouted synchronously; They heard it all because DK pressed the loudspeaker button earlier, Vernon even dropped his phone and then there's a faint chuckle coming out of Dino.

["It's only a matter of time---"

"You said 'did you ask her out?' then is this part of your advice to him?"]

Seungkwan asked Jun, ["of course not! How fast of you!"] He sounded surprise and yet proud.

"What are you even talking about?" And as usual Wonwoo is being clueless about it. "Anyway... I cant contact Jeonghan nor Joshua."

Mingyu replied to one of his message. It was a single emoji. crying.

["Why? Maybe they are somewhere and busy."]

"They were with me before I go back to Yura's place..."

["Shameless! You go back to her place!"

"Then the three must be sulking because they can't stay with Yura."] Seungkwan added to DK.

Wonwoo could only sigh and listen to their ramblings. His voice will only die to dk's voice. He played on his other phone while waiting for them to be quiet, but it will take a long time for it to happen.

"Sorry, sorry Wonwoo... I'm alone now."

His character jumped into the hill down to the ground, then he paused his game, "Wonwoo?"

He heaved a sigh and said, "I'm losing my mind..."

Jun's brows furrowed and remembered their last conversation. It's about Yura again, ["Go and lose your mind then because only you can solve whatever you're thinking."]

he knows it's still the same and there's no other advice he can think of except that. However... If it's something else he might have another advice he can give.

["... I know you talked with Yura, have you solved some of your questions?" ]

"... Yes, but another question resurfaced..." He sighs and Jun could only guess.

["Sure, is your heart..."]

"I'm confused whether I should buy this for her or this. Wait I'm going to send it to you..."

He guessed wrong. Or maybe he's just too focused on the item rather than his feelings.

["Okay... Uhm... I think the one with the blue color."] He said after looking at the picture, ["is that all?"]

He wanted to ask about it, but chose to shut his mouth, "yes... For now. If I'm sure... I'll come and ask for advice,"

Not with just Jun. He will need the other for advice too. If something serious happens he can count on them.

["Okay. Just call me if you need me or anyone in our group."]

Jun smiled before ending the call then stares at the livestream of Kade and Wonwoo. Something is different about Wonwoo in the video... "Hyung you keep replaying that video. Don't tell me you're also fanboying over Kade?" Vernon asked, "Kinda. Besides are you done talking to Seungcheol?"

He nodded, "it's nothing serious," Jun took a sip from his coffee, "what about Wonwoo?"

Jun smiled at him before looking back once again on the video before him.

"Exchanging my ticket for keys... I dont know whether I should pull for Athena..."

Kade pondered while livestreaming on what she should exchange it for since the event will end in three days. Then there's the upcoming new banner for this rpg gacha game she's currently addicted to.

To get her mind off from her brothers. But there is one problem...

"are u sick Kade?"

"He looks light headed"

"try pulling for marion instead..."

For a long time pondering, she chose to buy the keys and wait for the next banner to come. Her favorite character isn't released yet and since she's on the advanced server she can get it easily.

The problem is this pain in her head. Ever since she holed herself in her room after Wonwoo left her apartment two days ago, the headache started.

She can't even go back to work in the convenience store too. Even so, she still shared the games she's playing. Recently, there are many beta Testing games that were sent to her. When she asked Wonwoo about it; the answer she could only get is that he doesn't accept any offer of theirs.

When he asked her why she accepted those offers... All she could say is 'for the sake of money'

Kade let out a sneeze, then another sneeze as she turned away from the screen. If, somehow, they're watching this live... She's very sure someone will knock in front of her door and whether she likes it or not, they will make themselves at home.

So, not to let it happen, she must show that she's perfectly fine before ending her livestream.

"Sorry, anyway... I'm going to do some side quests which is... Haunt some three star wolf in the whiskey mountain." She said as her character moves towards the target location which is 241 km.

And while her character travels she attacks some of the monsters to level up. She's currently level 13 and so far she already has 7 cards to help her in her journey. Some cards are not what she liked.

And when she got bored playing the game... She switched to one of Wonwoo's games. Honestly, when she's feeling sick all she can do is to play for a while since she's used to not taking care of herself.

"Yura?" She flinched and slowly looked up from her desk. Somehow it's feeling a lot hotter now than earlier. Is the AC even on?

Yes, but the truth is that she's sick and her temperature is too high.

"Hey? Have you eaten?" She must be hallucinating to see Wonwoo right now... Her gaze fell on her phone. She doesn't remember much besides ending her livestream.

"One day... Passed?" She asked before coughing. "Your temperature is high." His hands felt even warmer in her forehead.

"And you even slept in this posture and in front of your PC!" He says as he guided her to her bed. He checked her cabinets whether she has medicines to take, but apart from medicines she also doesn't have a first aid kit.

"..." He wasn't surprised, he can't say he expected it either. Wonwoo glanced at her bed and then sighed. "Yura I'll head out to buy something and eat the soup I left on the desk."

Yura opened her eyes and nodded. She felt alone in her apartment again as she wondered how she got sick. "Maybe it's their fault." She thought of Shin and Honjoon showing up.

Yura sat up straight then glanced over the soup Wonwoo made for her. Her stomach grumbled as she picked up the soup. No wonder she's hungry after she slept for a full one day.

"he shouldn't bother himself..." She sighs then leaves the bowl on the desk before sleeping again.

And in her dream are the glimpses of memories she had forgotten.
