AUTHOR'S NOTE [11/22/2017]: Changed the POV style to first person instead of second person (mostly to make it more personal and partly because it bothered me, it's just awkward to write in that POV—just not my style), plus I brushed up some dialogue and grammatical errors.
[9/26/2016]: Wrote this on another sleepless night. My brain was buzzing with so many thoughts as of late, though on my end I have to admit, I'm writing this out of the blue. Hope I don't make too much grammatical mistakes and spelling errors. Seriously, it was 2:30AM then and I'm re-reading this now because I have to go sort out more things at my college later this evening. Woo.
But that's beside the other point I was trying to make. I finished the game so… I dunno. I feel like I'm getting withdrawals already so I have to keep myself from getting too worked up lol
Anyways, I do hope you guys enjoy. I feel like I'm no good at writing fluff, I keep worrying if I'm being too clichéd and whatnot, plus I sometimes go on an unrelated tangent. Do tell me what you guys think.
WARNING: This contains game terminology, heavy spoilers for a Good Ending and After Ending, and some light sexual banter.

The Hero of the Stars and the Berserk Dancer
(Yoosung x MC/Reader)
It had been six months since Yoosung and I had gotten together.
After the chaos that had ensued a mere days before the RFA party, he had taken the time to settle into the new role of loving boyfriend (it was also funny to see him blush once I had said that out loud once). Yoosung was a sweet man, he always made sure that I took good care of myself and every time I spent together with him was romantic, though a bit cheesy.
On the other hand, I guided him every step of the way as he adapted to seeing with only one eye and dutifully accompanied him when he went to the hospital for his check-ups after the surgery on his eye. After three months, the doctor assured that his eyepatch of his could be removed but he now had to wear glasses just in case, which worried me a bit after seeing the dull look in the other eye as well as the scar.
The anger and resentment that burned in my chest at the sight shook my body to its core. He didn't deserve to be hurt like that by crazy hacker, and I seriously had half a mind to rant to Seven about making sure they never return to hurt the organization again. Much to my chagrin, Yoosung shocked me when engulfed me in a tight hug, and the emotions I held melted away at his touch. He gently reminded me that he was fine and never failed to remain optimistic.
He then promised that he was going to do well at college just a week after. While doubt lingered in the back of my head, I cheered him on, but not before half-heartedly threatening him to spill if someone starts bugging the hell out of him in class thanks to the glasses. He chuckled before kissing me on the forehead with a smile and we spent the rest of the week goofing around.
On the day he had gone off to school, he actually had to linger a bit and reassure me that he'll be fine even when I was being overly fussy over him. I really wanted to come with him just in case something happened. But, I didn't have the heart to voice that thought aloud since I had to beat into my head to trust him to take care of himself.
Memories of our first kiss during the party that sealed this relationship that I wouldn't have for anything else in the world made me smile fondly. It was the very memory that I held on to so I would keep calm, sending a warm fuzzy feeling throughout my body.
… That all faded away when I just got killed on screen by an orc.
"Fu—dge," I almost let slip a curse in my frustration, the warmth fading into frustration that elicited a tired groan from me. Yeah, being distracted was no good right now. Rubbing my eyes, I waited until my character respawned at the last city I visited.
When the brunette character I was playing now stood at the foot of the city entrance with their longsword strapped on their back, I instantly messaged the party I was with.
:: Hey! Sorry I had to go back to the city. Didn't have enough Orbs to revive ::
Superman Yoosung: No worries! Just get back here soon
Hacker God: Make sure to stock up on potions tho
Hacker God: we're gonna be here for a while
:: Roger that~! ::
I instantly went off to business, spending a few coins on Health and Mana Potions so we could continue with the Orc Hunting Quest I took with the others. I hummed along the city BGM I've become more than familiar with for the past two months.
LOLOL really was an addicting game, much to my amusement.
It really all started when I stayed over with Yoosung for a week at his place. After fooling around a bit and helping with cooking lunch, he stalked off to his room to 'finish something real quick'. Nearly half an hour later, curiosity won over and I discovered that he was still playing LOLOL, though I knew it was on a much more moderate extent due to priorities and his eye. While worry coursed through me like wildfire, the moment he got back and pecked me on the cheek, stating that I'm the 'most important person in his life', it reaffirmed my confidence in him.
Yeah, he was cheesy and cute that way.
Plus, I didn't hold it against him. It's as they say, once a gamer, always a gamer.
I let out a giggle as the two I was partied with continued to bicker. I was currently double checking my inventory before I headed back to the swamp. Even though we were about to finish, we all wanted to farm for materials. The Orc Hammers were a valuable commodity in the market nowadays, since they were used to create a newly released high level armor. Craftsmen especially went ballistic at just seeing a stack of them.
Personally, I just wanted the money to buy upgrades for my sword while the other two wanted to sell it in exchange for HP Boosting Crystals for their armors. God knows they needed it when we needed to go back to beat the Boss at the Warped Universe area.
I snickered when I refocused on the chat.
Hacker God: COVER ME WHILE I CHARGE MANA
Superman Yoosung: oh is the #1 player in the server actually struggling and asking for my help?
Hacker God: As if~
Hacker God: ah, hey! U almost got me hit!
Superman Yoosung: did not lol
Hacker God: u did
Hacker God: I thought u loved meh T_T
Superman Yoosung: -_-
It was fun seeing Yoosung and Seven banter like they did in the RFA chatroom and even more fun knowing the semblance of anonymity made us a freer to rage our hearts out. It was the magic of games.
Entertainingly enough, only Seven knew I was playing. I had climbed the ranks of LOLOL to become #6 after all, a feat that only the redheaded hacker one-upped with his one and a half months record. It was… mortifying when he had messaged me out of the blue just as I was fighting an event boss. I remember nearly screaming when I almost died because of the distraction, sadly giving away who I was when I called him his nickname. After I calmed down, I begrudgingly added him to my friend list and never stopped annoying him to not reveal my identity to Yoosung, which he thankfully relented to.
We mostly paired up for a good month until the inevitable happened. We came across Yoosung's character just as we were about to enter a dungeon to farm for Unicorn Tears, who approached me to say that he was impressed with my hybrid build and wondered if I would like to party with him. I nearly freaked out and sorta insulted Seven a few times when he was teasing me in private. Still, I got through it without messing up, and eventually I added the blond to my friend list.
The three of us would then invite one another on quests together, as if it was natural.
I mentally patted myself on the back for actually accomplishing that in just two months in secret, since I was busy with life at times.
As I crossed the Beginner Grasslands of LOLOL, a few other players started to privately message me for tips after spotting me, ranging from 'Hello, can you help me?' to 'OMG ur one of the strong players add me'. While I appreciated the compliments thrown my way, it was kind of tiring to repeat the advice of just farming, quest completion and hunting boss monsters to level up faster, and turning down requests because I had somewhere to be.
It only took me a few minutes of trekking until the lush fields and mountains turned into the familiar murky green environment full of bizarre plant life and withered trees. I spotted my two party members being surrounded by twenty smaller orcs and their leader, made obvious by its size and health bar. Other players were on spread away from the area, afraid to jump in due to their lower levels and not willing to steal the kill—it was frowned upon in the community.
With a feral grin, I commanded my character to rush in with longsword in tow.
- SWORD TEMPEST -
I spun counterclockwise and swung my sword with a force so strong, a hurricane was formed. I watched as my Mana went down by 50 points, not minding as I slashed away at the other orcs that weren't shredded by my previous attack.
Superman Yoosung: Just in time!
Hacker God: yo glad you could make it to the party
:: Of course, I couldn't let my two favorite boys go down hm? ::
Hacker God: awwwww
Hacker God: u see that Yoosung? She says we're her favs~
Superman Yoosung: thnx thnx ^^
I felt a blush creep up my face. Seven obviously said that with a double meaning. I wanted to keep my identity a secret from my boyfriend. Well, until he figures it out on his own or I let it slip somehow. The hacker promised to keep it a secret but it didn't help that he took every opportunity to tease the two of us.
Hacker God: Time to strike back my friends
:: obviously ::
Superman Yoosung: I'm game!
I distributed the potions evenly between the three of us. I observed as their Health and Mana went up to the max, and for the sake of a faster run, I asked Yoosung to cast a defense and attack buff that would only last for about a minute.
:: Who's first? ::
Without replying, Seven's character simply stepped forward, holding up the weathered tome in their hands. All at once, a yellow glyph glowed by his feet and storm clouds were summoned. Lightning struck the enemy, paralyzing them and bringing their health bar by half. I was content with smashing some stragglers in the sidelines and noted Yoosung moving out with his Warhammer. He jumped high into the air, cape billowing as he reached the ground and striking it with all his might. The ground shook as the earth opened up, the orcs falling down.
Seven switched with Yoosung as a red glyph was in place at the bottom of the new crater. Lava then poured out, burning everything that came into contact with it. After Yoosung kicked the last orc down, Seven closed the crater with a swipe of his hands.
The boss of the Orcs, aptly named Lord Orcen, roared. More of the minions spawned around our party.
Yoosung moved fast, crushing a gem in his hands. His character then danced around like a blur, knocking down or crushing the newly spawned enemies. A Haste Gem, I realized. His Warhammer glimmered with every blow he made, and I proudly watched him decimate the monsters.
Seven let loose, an orange glyph by the feet of all other orcs. In an instant, the glyphs exploded and chunks of the orcs flew about. I internally felt disgusted even if I knew they were just pixels.
The enemy numbers were now smaller than before. I took the chance to move and attack the boss.
Hacker God: u gonna do it?
:: yup.::
Hacker God: go for it lol
:: It'd be my pleasure~! ::
I smiled as I activated my special skill.
- BERSERK –
A red shockwave pulsed around me. My character dragged their sword like it was nothing and slashed away at any minion stupid enough to try and pounce on me before facing the boss. Once I was noticed, its eyes glowed red and raised its hammer to strike. I let the attack meet without caring that it deducted 4.1k HP. Now that I was doubly sure I had aggro, I grinned as my character continued to hit it, not bothering to move since tanking it was viable.
My health was trickling down ever so slowly thanks to the health regen while the boss' was dropping faster by a huge margin. It's really convenient that Seven and Yoosung had managed to cut its health in half when I got back.
The audience we had seemed to be awed at the display the three of us were doing, judging by the comments on the chat.
One comment even caught my eye and I snorted.
The Hero of the Stars, the Berserk Dancer and the Explosion Mage!? They're seriously here?!
I wondered how the players managed to popularize the nicknames we were all famous for, since it was kinda clichéd titles. Although… I guess it did make sense.
Seven was famous for causing explosions and I believe the skill he used was called Hellfire specific to the Grandmaster class, which he tended to use the most during Capture the Flag events or Arena Showdowns in conjunction to the Nivel Sword their class used. Forums coined him as the ultimate bane of the enemy and the target of jealousy of a major part of the other Grandmaster class users. Even if he did lean towards the Scout class, as exhibited by his other character who was the #5 strongest in the server, he often told me that being flashy was fun.
Yoosung, on the other hand, could really be described as a hero in the LOLOL world since he usually carried low-level players a lot and was even a 'bus driver', a player who brought lowbies to other continents normally not accessible with their level for a price. Also, he does look like a shooting star whenever he used his skills and the Haste Gem combined, a worthy achievement considering the fact that his class was a Paladin, who're notorious for having low AGI and thus were painfully slower than most classes.
Seriously, he went above and beyond to make up for speed by equipping crafted items with AGI sub-stats, and by making AGI his third highest stat next to VIT and MAG. Thus he was considered a mage-buffer-healer-rogue hybrid.
As for me, the so-called Berserk Dancer… it was self-explanatory thanks to my Berserk skill, a continuous chain of wild, uncontrollable attacks that sacrificed my already low DEF for ATK and increasing aggro, lasting for 30 seconds specific for Gladiator class. Not a lot of people used it unless they had a decent amount of VIT, I preferred it because I'm a hybrid warrior-debuffer-tank and even then, there were other available attacks that were more advantageous to use. A good example was the Ragna's Deathstrike, which dealt a critical hit that could go up to a whopping 70k damage when paired with a high DEX or the Seven Crosses which could be a potentially be a one-hit kill thanks to the Holy attribute.
The only secret to how I could deal 100k damage in total when I use this skill, annihilating any mid-tier bosses in two hits, was because I use an attack buff and have a critical rate and damage booster equipped.
But back on the topic of my character instead of spazzing over the fine details of my build, she does remind me of an Arabian dancer wearing purple, albeit with a longsword instead of waving around fancy ribbons or scarves. I only got the lower part of my equipment by luck, and the top part was from a rare summer event. All those Orbs I used… well, I suppose it was worth the bonuses effects.
I blinked back to reality when the Armor Break sound effect alerted me to the soon-to-be-dead boss.
I smirked once the boss' health dropped to zero and it slumped dead on the floor, letting the large hammer in its hand go in the process. I whistled once I got eye on our spoils. One of them was a Six-Star Mallet named an Eternal Roar with two slots for Crystals just right for Yoosung's build. The minion orcs on the other hand, startled by the fact that their leader was defeated, now had the Panic status inflicted on them.
Hacker God: Lemme at em guys
Yoosung and I then stepped back as Seven was starting to chant, a black glyph in front of him.
- CHAINS OF THE ABYSS –
The redhead's character closed the tome just as the glyph expanded around a mile long, casting an ominous aura that made everyone in the area go wild in the chat, and some started questioning any Grandmaster or Sage class in the vicinity about it. I ignored them in favor of watching all the Panicked orcs run before chains shot up and bound them by the feet. Their little shrieks made me freak out a bit as they sunk down to the ground, dragged into darkness.
Well that was…
Superman Yoosung: THAT WAS SO COOL
I giggled. He took the words right out of my mouth.
Superman Yoosung: Seven, how come you never used that skill before?!
Hacker God: I just got it the other day lol
Hacker God: It was a part of the recently updated Dark Skillset
Hacker God: spent 200 Mana on that, pretty effective AOE skill
Superman Yoosung: It sorta reminds me of that Holy skill
Superman Yoosung: The Faiths Align, I think?
:: Maybe? I should check later ::
:: Still dude, u were amazing! ::
Hacker God: that I am muahahaha
:: lol don't let it get to ur head bro ::
Hacker God: u two were pretty good urselves
Superman Yoosung: but of course~ I still wanna get stronger +_+
Hacker God: haha just look at all our loot! My inventory's full lololol
Hacker God: got 20 stacks as well~
Superman Yoosung: same here, lol didn't notice
:: I still died earlier tho lol ::
Superman Yoosung: nah its ok
Superman Yoosung: u were still great
:: u too, oh great 'Hero of the Stars' ::
Superman Yoosung: thnx, lady 'Berserk Dancer'
:: lololol stahp it ::
Superman Yoosung: ^0^
:: ^^* ::
Hacker God: Should I leave? Do u two want a moment?
:: no lol ::
I typed that last one quickly, face flushed red.
Superman Yoosung: oh I gotta log off soon. I have to visit someone
Hacker God: ohhhh could it be?!
Hacker God: you're going to ur gf right~?
Superman Yoosung: uh yeah
:: aww so sweet ::
:: what r u guys gonna do? U gonna get it on? X"D ::
Hacker God: that'd be a miracle, really
Superman Yoosung: Get what on? O_O
"Aish." I palmed my face in embarrassment as that once again whizzed by his head. Yoosung could sometimes be too innocent for his own good, or maybe he's just slow. Whenever I tried to flirt with him, he often misunderstood it for something else!
:: ah nothing nvm lol ::
Hacker God: poor unfortunate soul~~~
Superman Yoosung: ok? Well…
Superman Yoosung: I promised to have a movie marathon later with her tonight
I blinked. Ah, right… I had made him promise to watch some horror movies together and maybe sleep over at my place.
Wait.
I nearly shot up from my chair when I remembered I haven't done any shopping yet.
:: Oh I have to go shopping ::
:: gonna use a TP and go back. See ya guys tomorrow! ::
Hacker God: sure~
I didn't wait for Yoosung's response and left the party, instantly teleporting myself back to the city and logged off of LOLOL. Spying my wall clock, I figured I only had three hours left until my boyfriend arrived.
"Just my luck…"
It was almost time for Yoosung to arrive. I barely managed to spare a few minutes to myself as I prepared everything: pillows, blankets, popcorn, softdrinks, and copies of several horror movie classics… I sighed in relief. I had also just finished taking a late shower and was now wearing pajamas, so for now I decided to go net surfing while waiting.
My eyes caught news of the newest update in LOLOL.
Nearly jumping from the sofa, I happily whooped for joy, vibrating on the couch from excitement. There was a new dungeon available just near the western city of Igresia in the LOLOL map. I could go explore there with the others tomorrow. Plus, the guild I was in was mostly inactive anyways, so I could ask Yoosung if there was a spot in his guild….
My train of thought was cut off when I heard the doorbell rang. My pizza had arrived, and yes, now we were completely set for tonight. Placing the Hawaiian pizza on the coffee table, I eyed my phone when it suddenly lit up and saw there were messages.
It was from Yoosung and Seven, predictably.
Yoosung: I'm almost there~ can't wait! I brought some chips with me as well
:: great! Got pizza and popcorn ;) ::
I then checked what Seven had to say and frowned.
707: you still got no plans to tell him lol
:: eventually ::
:: why so persistent my boi lol ::
707: nothing~! Just means more time for me to tease you two. Ur like the perfect
707: duo! Lol
I only chuckled as I heard the front door open. I pocketed my phone as a voice called out "I'm here!"
As soon as he stepped into the living room, I greeted the blond with a smile before tackle-hugging him. He stood his ground, slightly surprised, before reciprocating the hug. "Sorry I'm late," he mumbled as he nuzzled himself into my neck.
I giggled. "It's ok. Come on, I'll turn on the DVD."
As Yoosung settled unto the sofa, I kneeled in front of the TV and turned on the DVD player. "What do you wanna watch first?" I asked him, holding up Resident Evil, The Exorcist, and Friday the 13th in my hands. I noticed he started fidgeting nervously in his position, eyes going from me, the DVDs to the food on the table and to the TV.
"I'll let you choose," he said, and I noted a quiver in his voice.
A small smile settled on my lips. Yoosung didn't particularly like horror movies and agreed to this only because I was being insistent, so I settled for Resident Evil since this one wasn't as scary as the others. Once I popped on the disk and the movie was playing, I sat beside Yoosung, who was now holding a piece of pizza. I leaned on his shoulders and held his other hand.
"Come on, this will be fun~!" I said to him confidently. He returned a smile and puffed his chest out proudly.
"Ahaha, yeah. As long as I have you beside me, I'm not scared as well!"
I laughed at him before I snatched a pizza out of the box.
In truth, I was a bit jumpy at horror movies. Not as bad as when playing horror games (God forbid me for screaming bloody murder) but still jumpy, especially if other people were screaming. Still, this was my first movie marathon with the blond and it marked our sixth month anniversary, so I wasn't going to back down, no matter what.
However, when the first half of the movie passed without much scares and more of a tense atmosphere, Yoosung and I nearly shrieked when the zombies were released. More and more the two of us were shouting at the screen for the characters to run like heck and occasionally hugging each other, not minding the sticky fingers we had from the snacks we ate.
Yoosung was shaking and I was paling. Still, we continued to watch until the zombie dogs started chasing the main character. I hated the things with a passion, remembering how much I screamed when I was dared to play the first Resident Evil and those things burst from the windows in that damn hallway on the first floor of the spooky mansion.
I lamely tried to hide a whimper from the jumpscare.
I nearly squeaked when Yoosung shook me by the shoulders. "You okay? You're as pale as a zombie…" he joked lightly, though his eyes scanned mine in worry.
My eyes flitted back to the TV. "Oh, yeah, I'm just peachy."
I felt his gaze on me and tried to ignore it. As I tried to calm down, I grabbed the can of Coca-Cola off the table and saw it… slip from my hands.
"Ah!" I yelped as I tried to grab it, flailing as it evaded my grasp. Losing balance, I was about to hit the floor and I held up my arms to protect my face from the fall…
And instead I felt something grabbing me from behind, pulling me back from the clutches of gravity and my back hit something hard.
"That was close…" a voice mumbled near my ear.
I looked back and saw Yoosung's face that was way too close for comfort. I flushed, now noticing how close we were since he was practically hugging me from the back.
He only glared back, though I was sadly not intimidated and more or less awed by how cute he looked when he was angry. Only now I noticed how he had grown a few inches taller… how his hair framed his face now that it was longer and not held by a clip… how his glasses made his eyes strangely more appealing to look at…
Wait, what am I even thinking?
"You're obviously not fine." His voice brought me back to reality and I swallowed hard. The movie had been paused, so there were no excuses not to answer to this. I sighed as I stared right back at those violet eyes—eye, searching my face.
"Maybe…" I trailed off as wiggled out of his hold and sat back down on the sofa, cuddling a pillow. I flinched when I saw his gaze suddenly harden. He… was actually being serious. "Okay, I'm not fine. Sorry. I'm just… jumpy," I admitted and holding the pillow closer to my chest.
He sat beside me, eyes still trained on my face. "Were you… scared? I thought you loved horror movies."
I shrugged, offering him a weak smile. "I do… I'm just not good with dealing with it at times."
The blond mumbled something under his breath before he placed his hand on mine, and I gave him a more relaxed smile at the warmth of his palm. "Do you wanna do something else instead? Maybe we can just watch—"
"No, no. I'm fine! I wanna finish this! I don't wanna ruin our sixth month anniversary by chickening out!"
At that, his mouth was left hanging and pink dusted his face while I furiously blushed. Crap, I didn't mean to reveal that! I wanted to surprise him at the end of today with a chocolate cake I had prepped this early morning. I tried my best to avoid his gaze but the moment he cupped my cheeks, it was like electricity was paralyzing me. I met his eyes, full of love and a tinge of amusement.
"So that's why!" he giggled. "Here I thought I did something weird, since I was doing a bad job at not being scared…"
I snorted, pushing the emotions bubbling inside me down. "Yeah, that you were, babe."
He scratched his cheek as his blush deepened. "Ehehehe… I'm sorry?"
There was an awkward amount of silence for over a minute before I decided to speak up.
"Yoosung—"
"Uhm, I was—"
Both of us stopped. I silently urged him to continue only to be urged right back. The two of us exchanged glances, still urging the other to go first. When neither party wanted to back down, I couldn't help but laugh at how silly we were being. Soon after, Yoosung joined in, his laugh sending my heart aflutter.
I leaned closer and hugged him, still laughing. "Well, this, haha, night could have turned better, haha…"
He snuggled closer and placed his chin on top of my head. "Yeah… do you still wanna watch? I'll be sure to keep you in my arms so you won't feel scared again!" he declared, pumping his fist in the air in a confident manner.
I considered his offer and snuck a glance at the still paused movie. I hummed, not exactly feeling up to it anymore… unless…
Then it suddenly clicked.
"AHA!"
The two of us were in my room. I was now sitting in front of my work desk and the now booted up computer, papers pushed to the side to make way for the snacks. Yoosung, on the other hand, had a laptop with him, and he continued staring at me as the crease on his eyebrows only deepened.
"Are you sure you wanna try playing? I haven't been active much," he stated as he started up the game.
I only grinned widely at him. "I'm a fast learner. Besides, I've been curious."
He only nodded to that, apparently not suspecting a thing. Ahh~ I was excited to see the look on his face when he figures out that I'm one of the high ranking players on the Shooting Star server. I feel like I wanted to release an evil laugh.
I put on my headset and was immediately beset by the Start Screen, the words LOLOL floating in bold yet elegant letters, vines wrapping around some of the letters to add to the aesthetics. Folk music blasted through the headset, making my blood boil in anticipation.
"So, since you're a new player, you should—"
"Hush, sweetie! Don't worry about me, I know what I'm doing, it's just like any standard MMORPG intro. You just focus on yours~" I cut him off with a sweet tone laced in my voice. His face became a few shades redder and he whipped his head back to the laptop, nearly knocking off his glasses in the process.
When I was sure he wasn't looking (he was trying his best from what I could see in his body language), I loaded up my max level character and had arrived at the Central City of LOLOL, Liviathania, my last save-point. I snuck another glance at him before I opened the Menu and scrolled through the Friend List.
Once I found his name, I messaged him, seeing as he was online.
:: Hey babe lol ::
Superman Yoosung: oh hey
Superman Yoosung: but lol babe?
Superman Yoosung: wait a second
Superman Yoosung: …
Superman Yoosung: uh
Superman Yoosung: …
It looks like he was piecing it together so I glanced back at him, smirking evilly. "Surprise~"
He blinked owlishly at me and I waited patiently until…
"YOU'RE THE BERSERK DANCER?!"
I finally broke out in boisterous laughter that I'd been containing for so long and cradled my stomach. Yoosung was redder than ever and his glasses were slanted, a disbelieving look on his face.
"T-t-then you saw a-all my messages when…?" he trailed off and I couldn't believe my eyes. He looked as if he was going even redder.
"I saw every last message during the times we were in parties, sweetheart," I teased, barely managing to say it between laughter. This was so good!
He audibly groaned and pouted at me. God, I wanted to pinch his cheeks now.
"Why didn't you say anything?" he muttered under his breath but I still heard it.
"It's more fun this way~!" I said vaguely, leaving out the fact that I now knew what he thought of sex when Seven asked him out of the blue one day when we were farming for medicine materials. His reactions were priceless, and the idea of him being shy of possibly coming all over his girlfriend because 'what if she gets grossed out or something' was absolutely hilarious. And adorable, absolutely, adorable.
From the corner of my eye, I noticed a lot of people messaging me again so I lead my character to a quiet corner where I was more hidden and muted the chat for good measure. Yoosung's gaze never left me as I did so, shell shocked and gaping.
I winked at him when I finished. "At least you have a gaming buddy now haha—"
One moment I was sitting on my chair with the cheekiest grin on my face, the next I found myself staring wide-eyed into Yoosung's eyes, brimming with so much emotion and making my heart do backflips without express permission. One emotion I could clearly make out though was something I never expected on the young man.
Lust.
His lips were so soft and I was frozen, unsure of what to make of the situation. This was only the second time we had kissed on the lips, and before I could decide to maybe awkwardly reciprocate the gesture, Yoosung momentarily drew himself back with a gasp. "Oh my God, I'm sorry… I just…"
"Yoosung…"
I immediately shut him up with a kiss of my own.
This one lasted longer, and my hands found themselves tangled in his hair. Before I could give in to my instincts though and maybe try to prod the inside of his mouth out of curiosity, I pulled away with a tender smile on my lips. His lips were parted, and he was extremely red to the point that I giggled.
"No need to say anything, Yoosung~ Let's just play, hm?"
ADDITIONAL A/N: Well, that was fine and dandy, I'll let your imaginations go to work now. :D
See ya next chapter, my fellow MysMe fans~!
