Okay first off, this is NOT a Yoosung × Reader meaning I will not use "You" as the pronoun but it will be "MC" and this MC is not based off of anyone, not even me.
Second of all, eyyyy WHAT IF!
What if MC was a LOLOL player who has relationship issues and what if Yoosung keeps on killing her character?
Then the answer to that is...
•••
"Okay, but I'm telling you, it's a really fun game to play and it's total-. No it's not wasting my time! It's called getting a hobby," The brunette woman huffed as she spoke her sentiment to her phone on speaker mode as her left hand's fingers frantically typed four keys and her right hand hovered the mouse around
Her eyes were trained on the screen in front of her as it displayed the clear graphics of her game.
"Don't you think that you can have a different hobby? A serious one, you know? You can try painting or playing the violin or figure skating."
"Minjun, playing LOLOL is a serious hobby. As in I am dead serious about playing it," the girl stated, wanting to roll her eyes but choosing not too so that her focus would be on the monitor
"MC, you know that my parents are serious people. They want me to be with someone who knows what she's doing and is sure about her life decisions." There was a sigh on the other line, "MC, we're in university now. Almost out there as adults. We have to be sure about our futures."
Now the woman couldn't contain the eye roll. She pressed the space bar, pausing her game, even if it was against her wants, to focus on the call instead.
"Look, Minjun, I'm not dating your parents; I'm dating you and that's why I don't need to try too hard to impress them," she spoke, "And, like you've said before, we're almost adults and as an almost adult, I declare myself to be free to choose whatever hobby I want to have."
"MC, come on. We've been over this a thousand times. You have got to find something else to spend your time on, something that you can put on your resume."
"Uh, I can so put it on my resume. I think employers would love seeing Rank 3 Player on the Shooting Star server on one's resume," MC responded
"MC," he groaned
"Look, Minjun, I'm going to make my own decisions because this is my life and you don't get to choose what I do and what I don't do," MC replied, furrowing her brows
"MC, if we're going to get married in the future, I would like my wife to follow me and what I think is good for her. I just want people to see us and say that we're successful and don't slack off."
"Okay that is where I draw the line. First off, if we get married, I'm not going to do everything you want me to do just because you think it's good for me because, darn it, this is my life. Second, if we get married, I would never care if people think I slacked of just because I played games during my university days," MC sighed, "You know what, Minjun, we're both tired. I think it's time to stop this call."
"MC,"
"I said good bye," MC responded before turning the call off
She sighed then leaned back on her chair. It was very often that they would fight because of MC's hobby. Minjun thought that it was completely unnecessary for her to play and that she could've used the time to something more productive. Meanwhile, MC thought otherwise. She would defend LOLOL and the people that she played with. She enjoyed playing it so why would Minjun care? Why should he care? It was her life and she didn't tell him to do things just because she wanted him to.
To be honest, MC was tired of all the pushing around. She and Minjun had been in a relationship since junior year in high school. MC thought that he was the perfect guy. Smart, talented, well-known, had a decent amount of money on his name, and good looking, absolutely good looking. He was kind and caring to her. He showed his love in different ways. Her parents approved of him and loved to see him with her. They were the picture perfect couple.
But… MC frowned, But why doesn't it feel picture perfect?
He was pushy. He wanted things to be done his way. His parents wanted her to do stuff that she found boring. He wanted her to be this, to be that, to be everything admirable on a girl. She knew that she could never be the perfect girl and she never strived for it but Minjun was always there, wanting her to push to her limits and become who she wasn't. It was a stressful and frustrating event that occured almost every single day of her life.
And maybe now, the cons of having Minjun as a boyfriend was overweighing the pros.
She sighed then shook her head. They'd just finished an argument; it wasn't fair for Minjun if she was thinking of breaking up with him while her emotions were at a very dangerous peak. For now, she should just clear her head and clean her room or apartment…
She took a short glance at her paused game.
Or maybe continue playing LOLOL?

"For once, I am honestly not playing," the blond boy said as he placed the cup of instant coffee on his computer desk, "I have a ton of homework to do to be submitted soon,"
"And?" the person at the other line responded
"And that's it," the blond finished
"No, no, it's not just it. There's something else, Yoosung. Proceed."
"I told you, there's nothing else," the blond named Yoosung pursed his lips into a firm line
He waited for an answer from the other line but had none instead.
He sighed, "Fine. I don't want to do my homework. I find them really really pointless. I mean, I stay in uni for about seven hours a day, isn't it enough time for studying?"
"Knew it." he could feel the smirk forming on his friend's face
"Can't we just go watch Lady of the Bracelets?" He asked
"Good offer," Yoosung smiled, "But the boss wants a lot of things done by afternoon so…"
"You hack fast right? Can you hack fast? I'm bored," Yoosung responded
"Jumin then. Pretty sure he's available,"
"The words 'Jumin' and 'available' are only put in one sentence when the words 'is not' are put in betweem them," Yoosung frowned
"Jaehee? Nah I'm not going to bother. She's busier than Jumin. Zen, perhaps?"
"On his practice. I have never seen him outside of practices. He's probably really popular that he'd forgotten about us," Yoosung answered
"…V?"
"You're kidding, right?"
"Well there's no one else,"
Yoosung 'hmph'ed, pouting, "I hate being friends with old people,"
"Yoosung, I'm just a year older than you and the others aren't too old,"
"But you're all busy!" Yoosung whined
"That's what happens when you get a job. Anyways, all I can tell you is either get yourself some friends who also don't want to do their homework or get yourself a girlfriend,"
"Seven!" Yoosung exclaimed, blushing, "I don't want a girlfriend just because I'm bored!"
He could hear the other person laugh, "It's not fair for her, you know. Maybe that's what you do."
"Hey, when I manage to get a girlfriend, I cherish her and not do that."
"Hah, yeah, right." Yoosung smirked, "Well I won't hold you up for long, your computer must be missing you."
"…Hello? Is it still Yoosung I'm talking to?"
"Yep." Yoosung nodded, "Bye for now, Seven!"
He turned the call off after the other said his goodbye then opened the messaging app for the RFA. On days like these, it was normal that the members were inactive. Who would even need to be active when there's absolutely nothing to do there?
But still, he opened it up and checked if the others were online.
Yoosung : I'm so boooooooored.
Yoosung : Give me attention
Yoosung : Please!
[Crying emoji]
He placed his phone on the desk and took a sip from his coffee, patiently waiting for a response from anyone. He waited a good fifteen minutes when his phone beeped, alerting him that someone had responded.
Jaehee Kang: Attention
Jaehee Kang: There
Yoosung frowned but couldn't help but be amused. He knew that Jaehee was just kidding and that she would give him the attention he needed if she had the time.
[Crying emoji]
His phone beeped once more.
Jumin Han: Elizabeth the 3rd wants to me to tell you that you have her attention
Yoosung smiled at this.
Jaehee Kang: Mr. Han have you arrived from the airport already?
Jumin Han: I'm on my way to my apartment
Jumin Han: I suppose you took great care of Elizabeth?
Jaehee Kang: Yes
Yoosung : Are you guys going to work talk orrrrr
Jaehee Kang: Yoosung, we're busy
Yoosung pouted.
Jaehee Kang: As I was saying, Mr. Han, your appointments this afternoon had been rescheduled like you said
Yoosung : Dissed like an old sock puppet
Jaehee Kang: And the Cultured Citizens Organization had scheduled for a meeting with you
Jumin Han: When will it be?
Yoosung : I am lying on the cold, hard floor, waiting for someone to pick me up
Jaehee Kang: I told them I would give them a day this week, when would you like it to be?
Yoosung : Lonely, completely forgotten; probably forgotten through the ages of being abandoned
Jumin Han: Wednesday will be fine.
Yoosung : There was no light now, only darkness in the life of the lonely sock puppet
Jumin Han: Yoosung, I think you've been greatly affected by Luciel's weirdness.
Yoosung : Given cold attention. As cold as the floor tiles.
Jaehee Kang: Mr. Han, your father knew about your empty schedule and wanted to talk to you as soon as possible
Jumin Han: Tell him I'm on my way
Jumin Han has left the chatroom
Jaehee Kang has left the chatroom
Yoosung : R U D E
Yoosung has left the chatroom
707 has entered the chatroom
707: Waddup waddup~
707: Oh everyone's gone…
707 has left the chatroom

Master Criminal: Uh, okay, Shooting Star, that was really rude
Shooting Star: srry didnt see u there
Master Criminal: Didn't see me there?
Master Criminal: You PK-ed me for the third time in a row!
Master Criminal: UGH SOMEONE ELSE PK-ED ME TOO!
YOU ADDED HACKER GOD IN THE CHAT
Shooting Star: Hacker God?
Hacker God: whoa lolol
Hacker God: top 3 players in the server
Hacker God: we should form a party or a guild
Master Criminal: I will never form a party with the two people who just PK-ed me!
Master Criminal: What the heck is your problem with me?
Hacker God: ur stats
Hacker God: ure abt to lvl up so
Shooting Star: Hacker God?
Hacker God: thats the second time u said that kid
Shooting Star: Is that you Seven?
Master Criminal: Oh great my two worst enemies know each other in real life
Master Criminal: Will you just stop it? I'm not doing anything to any of you so stop
Master Criminal: THAT'S IT SHOOTING STAR
Master Criminal: YOU'VE PK-ED ME FOR THE LAST TIME
MC growled then furiously used her avatar to kill the other player. She didn't mind the chatting on the side of her screen, didn't mind the pleas that Shooting Star was giving. He had been PK-ing her in the past three weeks and her stats weren't leveling up due to all the times she died. So this time, she was going to see to it that Shooting Star had a taste of his or her own medicine.
Her avatar slashed and smashed Shooting Star's avatar until the HP was down to 30. Shooting Star used some potion that gave him or her a hundred more but MC's last attack went critical, ultimately killing Shooting Star's avatar.
Master Criminal: Take that sucker
YOU REMOVED YOURSELF FROM THE CHAT
Hacker God: ooohhh you pissed him
•••
The next time MC was able to play LOLOL again was about two in the morning the following day. She had waited for a time when Shooting Star would be out of the server or busy with another opponent. Or maybe, possibly banned permanently.
That would be better.
But she was disappointed once she actually logged in and saw that same avatar standing there next to hers.
"You again," MC grumbled
SHOOTING STAR ADDED YOU IN THE CHAT
Master Criminal: What do you want?
Shooting Star: Why did you kill me back there? I thought I told you that I killed you accidentally
Master Criminal: Do you really want me to believe that you killed me accidentally for more than ten times in the past week?
Master Criminal: What do you think I am? Stupid?
Shooting Star: No!
Shooting Star: Honestly I thought you were an enemy…
Shooting Star: Your colors are exactly like theirs lololol
Master Criminal: Unbelievable
YOU REMOVED YOURSELF FROM THE CHAT
SHOOTING STAR ADDED YOU TO THE CHAT
Master Criminal: What the heck?
YOU REMOVED YOURSELF FROM THE CHAT
SHOOTING STAR ADDED YOU TO THE CHAT
Shooting Star: I JUST WATNED T O APOLOGUZE!
Shooting Star: O SWARR!
Master Criminal: …
Shooting Star: i SERIOUSLY did not mean to kill your avatar
Shooting Star: reallyreally honest about that
Master Criminal: Do you, Shooting Star, think that I am THAT gullible?
Master Criminal: Seriously?
Shooting Star: I…
Shooting Star: Let's video chat
Shooting Star: So you can see that I'm really honest about all of this
Master Criminal:…
Master Criminal: …fine
MC grumbled as she gave her Skope ID to Shooting Star. She turned the game off and then waited at her account in Skope for that dreaded call. She was going to tell him so many things about how he should seriously stop PK-ing her.
Who does this guy think he is?
The notification for an incoming call from someone named Kim-Yoosung came. MC accepted the call, remembering the profile icon as Shooting Star's avatar. The screen opened and MC's formerly furrowed brows weren't so furrowed anymore. Her cheeks tinted a light pink as she saw the guy on the screen.
He had blond hair and some of it were pinned and he had the most gorgeous set of eyes.
Prettier than Zen's. She noted, remembering the red eyes she once saw when Minjun's parents dragged them to watch a musical.
She shook her head no at the thought of Minjun suddenly popping up in her head.
Get a hold of yourself, MC. This is Shooting Star, the guy who's been PK-ing you. And besides, you have Minjun, and Minjun is probably way better than someone who PKs characters.
Thankfully, Shooting Star was busy texting on his phone for him to notice MC flailing about and trying to calm her blush.
He took a glance once and put his phone down once he saw that his screen was showing Master Criminal… who was a girl… and definitely not a guy…
"You're a girl?" He asked
"Wow, really? I didn't know that! Thank you for pointing it out!" MC exclaimed, "I wouldn't have known if you didn't say anything. Gosh, you're a life saver!"
"Okay, wow, sorry, no need to be sarcastic," Shooting Star replied, "So, uh, what's your name? I don't feel comfortable calling you your username."
"It's MC," MC answered
"Oh so that's where Master Criminal came from," he spoke as if having an epiphany, "I'm Yoosung! Nice to meet you MC."
"I'm pretty sure I didn't go here to make friends," MC responded
"Well, I'm really sorry. I really didn't mean to. You have to change your color motif though," Yoosubg suggested
MC sighed, "If I do change it, you won't bother me again, right?"
"I wanted us to be friends too," Yoosung added, "I mean, it would be really cool if the top three players on the server were friends in real life."
"Yoosung, I'm not really there to make friends," MC said, "I'm there to play my favorite game in the world and to not think about this hellhole that I'm in an-." MC stopped before she could say anything further, "I'm sorry. I'm gonna logout now."
"No, no, it's fine. I'm used to those speeches," Yoosung stated, "But I'm still not backing out on the friendship offer."
MC sighed again and was about to speak when her phone rang.
"One moment," she said to Yoosung before picking up her phone and putting it to her ear
"Hey, babe," she started, "What's up?"
"MC, we need to talk. ASAP."
"Look, Minjun, if this is about LOLOL again, then no, I'm not going to stop playing just because your parents think that it's unladylike and that it's a waste of time," MC spoke, "In fact, I'd do it even more just to spite them."
"MC I don't want to lose you."
"Then you're going to find a way," MC pointed out, "I'm not going to change just because you want to have me. There are a million guys out there, Minjun."
There was a short silence on the other line.
"Then… then you leave me no choice,"
"And that is?"
"I'm breaking up with you, MC."
Yoosung watched MC's expression turn from anger to sadness.
"Wh-what?"
"I'm breaking up with you."
"Just… just because of LOLOL. You're breaking up with me."
Yoosung wanted to turn the chat off. This was a very personal and private moment and he shouldn't be hearing this. He was just someone who accidentally PK-ed her avatar a dozen time, not someone special enough to hear this.
"My parents want a serious woman for me, MC."
"And it's Shijee, isn't it?"
"Well it's not just my fault. You didn't want to stop playing so my parents thought it would be best to find someone else. Someone better."
"Ha! Someone better?!" There were tears at the sides of MC's eyes, "You're looking for someone better and you're talking about Shijee? Tell me, Minjun, what do you like the most about her? The fact that she's rich or the fact that she has C cup boobs?"
"MC, please be rational."
"Shut up! You have no right to tell me to be rational, okay?" Yoosung almost fell to the ground at the scary tone, "You wasted years of my life trying to change who I am but you always tell me that you love me for me, I…"
"You know what, I'm happy. I'm really happy that you're breaking up with me so the guilt wouldn't be on me," MC added, "I wasted enough of my life trying to please some snotty kid who wants to stay in his parents' shadow. Then fine, we're through. I'm finally free, Minjun! Finally!"
She pressed the off button then threw her phone to the table gently. She hugged herself, forehead resting on her knees.
She had just been dumped but… but why did she feel more relieved then sad?
Yoosung cleared his throat, catching MC's attention. She turned back to him, waiting for him to say something.
"I'm sorry that I had to hear that," Yoosung started off, "But are you… okay?"
"I'm actually fine," MC pointed out nonchalantly, "I feel so free and I feel like I could breathe."
MC cracked a small smile, "I really feel like I wasted, what, four years? But I'm just so happy because I wouldn't be wasting anymore time to some two-timer who only wanted me because I 'look perfect as a trophy wife'."
"Uh, if it helps," Yoosung started, "You don't seem like a trophy wife. You, um, you don't deserve the title. I mean that in a good way."
MC shot a small smile to the blond, "I really shouldn't keep you from playing now."
"It's fine." Yoosung shrugged, "I mean that though. For the few days that I've known you, you didn't seem like someone who should just wait at home for your husband to arrive. You seem like someone who should get out there and make a mark, you know?"
MC nodded, "Thank you, Yoosung. Maybe it's not bad to have you as a friend after all."
"I don't have much but I make sure that they're really happy," Yoosung replied then beamed at her, "You probably need some alone time so, uh, I'm gonna go now."
Yoosung logged off after giving a short wave.
SHOOTING STAR SENT A PRIVATE MESSAGE
Shooting Star: If it makes you feel any better
Shooting Star: People who stop you from playing aren't worth the time
Shooting Star: You're better off on your own than with someone who hurts you
•••
Yoosung has entered the chatroom
Yoosung : SEVEN!
707: YOOSUNG!
Yoosung : I met Master Criminal
Yoosung : She's… really feisty
Yoosung : And cute
Yoosung : I'm starting to feel something for her haha
