kim dokja x yoo joonghyuk stuff [omniscient reader]

not a round without romance (part 2)

for clarification kdj's face isn't blurred enough to be indistinguishable, but still blurred like a mob character's

———————————————♥

Kim Dokja was convinced that Yoo Joonghyuk was more buggy than they first expected.

Yoo Joonghyuk was treating Kim Dokja like the heroine, but at the same time he wasn't.

Yoo Joonghyuk's ice prince character was melting away at an abnormally fast rate, he was pretty sure he saw Yoo Joonghyuk smile a couple of scenes ago.

The smile event wasn't even supposed to happen until the end of the game!

Yoo Joonghyuk also seemed a bit more forceful when it came to his advances, instead of the more gentlemanly type the game portrayed him as, he seemed a lot more straightforward. Years of going through the same actions and phrases must have done a number to the guy.

Kim Dokja just tried to awkwardly brush said advances off.

Kim Dokja was later kabedoned in the hallway after the class scene before, though it ended before Yoo Joonghyuk could finish his shenanigans.

And like that, Kim Dokja was teleported away from Yoo Joonghyuk, who wasn't needed in the next event, which gave Kim Dokja time to overthink about everything that had been happening.

The time it took for Yoo Joonghyuk to "fall" for Kim Dokja was almost minuscule, so Kim Dokja came to a conclusion that it was a bug. Then again, in most of the books he had read, the love interest and heroine both fell for one another super quickly as well. (It wasn't his fault that the only books in the library seemed to be made for the 'heroine accidentally drops embarrassing novel in front of the love interest' event)

Anyways, the main idea was that everyone in these types of books seemed to speedrun falling in love with the heroine.

But Kim Dokja wasn't the heroine.

Yoo Joonghyuk knew that Kim Dokja wasn't the heroine, as he still had scenes where he had to flirt with them even though he wasn't the main capture target. There had been plenty of rounds before where Yoo Joonghyuk wasn't the main capture target though and acted as he was supposed to, then again, Kim Dokja had only chosen this round to start interacting with him. So why was he acting so strangely?

Was there some other bug that made Yoo Joonghyuk go after whoever talked to him? Or was it just his character?

Now that he thought about it, Kim Dokja had never seen Yoo Joonghyuk interact with anyone other than the heroine and the other capture targets fighting for the heroine's affection as well.

Was Yoo Joonghyuk programmed to flirt with whoever interacted with him? Or was it a bug?

Kim Dokja didn't know which one he would prefer. If it really was in Yoo Joonghyuk's programming or a bug making him act the way he did, Kim Dokja wouldn't be able to know how much control over himself Yoo Joonghyuk really had.

To be controlled by the game to such an extent scared Kim Dokja. A game dictating your feelings and making you believe that you loved someone. Never being able to distinguish your turn self from what you were programmed to feel.

Kim Dokja wouldn't let himself be fooled by Yoo Joonghyuk's actions. He didn't want to give himself false hope. What if Yoo Joonghyuk somehow deviated too far from the original plot and his bug was discovered? Would his memories be erased and make him turn back to the way he was before?

Was Yoo Joonghyuk acting out of his own free will or was he being controlled by the game? His actions were too similar to how he would treat the heroine, so how was Kim Dokja supposed to tell?

There were too many questions left unanswered. Kim Dokja really did not know what to do in this situation. The man he had watched and for so many rounds was finally paying attention to him, but what if all of it was fake?

The sweet notes Yoo Joonghyuk would write during class, the kind gestures and the welcomed occasional smile. They all reached the deepest part of Kim Dokja's heart.

This was bad.
