There was one big question on (Y/N)'s mind as she focused on the laptop in front of her: why am I doing this?  She didn't really want to be playing the game tight now to begin with, especially while her favorite murderer was hovering over her shoulder, but decided it was one of those things that wasn't worth arguing with him.  So here she was playing a round in Dead By Daylight while Ji-Woon watched intently, not that he was as happy about it now as when she started.  In fact, it was like (Y/N) could almost feel the growing annoyance that radiated off of him.  I guess he wasn't expecting the game to go this way.

"Damn idiot..."

(Y/N) suppressed a smile at the the muttering beside her, he had been saying things in Korean throughout the game, mostly when the killer was in view, which she had assumed was him insulting the player or swearing.  She had a feeling she was dead on about that assumption at this point.  He was almost definitely referring to The Legion, Frank specifically, who was at the exit gates and running in circles with the four injured survivors who were all doing the same.  The Legion player would hit anyone who worked on opening the door while in a frenzy but wouldn't try to down anyone.  One of those matches.  Odd how the last match she played before he got here and the first on she played after were both ridiculous.  

"Do you mean Frank or the person playing?  You do know he's being controlled by a player like I'm doing with Yun-Jin, right?"  

The lack of a response had her looking up at him and the displeased expression told her he didn't exactly believe that.  In the game, the exit doors were finally opened, however instead of walking or running out, the survivors continued to follow Frank, who was now inching towards the exit.  Honestly, (Y/N) could understand why Ji-Woon might be confused by the way this was turning out if he was used to the thrill of chasing down terrified survivors who just wanted to escape as quickly as possible.  This match was far from serious or scary.  (Y/N) followed the other survivors and the killer as they grouped up into a little line walking in a crouch with Frank as the lead, wondering around after him with no concern for the endgame collapse.  

"I'm sure he's not really like that.  He seems like he could be an intimidating person if he were real."  

Again, no response.  Even with the silence, it was becoming pretty clear he didn't have a high opinion about the other killer.  (Y/N) had to wonder if he had a high opinion about any of the killers, she didn't need to ask him to know he likely thought of himself as the best.  

"I wonder what it would be like to meet him in person..."  (Y/N) spoke quietly, mostly saying that to herself.  Ji-Woon was both exactly like she expected and at the same time not at all what she expected, of source she was curious about the others now.  Her quiet statement didn't go unnoticed by Ji-Woon however, who rolled his eyes with a scoff.  

"He's boring and annoying, he thinks highly of himself because he has a group of three teenagers following his every word.  He often believes himself to be tougher than others for no other reason than his habits of empty threats and glaring at people.  The Legion is childish and only intimidating if you allow them to be."  

Wow, sounds like he really doesn't like Frank.  (Y/N) just nodded in response, a little surprised he had so many complaints about the other killer.
