Special 7 - The universe where I belong

"Jinwoo... how did you shift here?"

"Life helped me out," He runs his hand through your hair. "Why?"

"I want to see the others again..." You mumble. "I miss Jinah, auntie, and uncle"

Jinwoo hums.

You're in Jinwoo's lap, the two of you cuddling on the couch. The tv is playing some forgotten korean drama, and halfway through, Jinwoo had pulled you onto his lap.

"I'm not too sure, but I just closed my eyes... and I ended up in a park before I found you." He blinks at you. "You read the light novel right?"

"Yeah but I was not expecting you to actually show up at my door." You hum, leaning onto his chest.

mmmm titties...

"I'll check the stats for shifting."

Jinwoo clicks on the screen, and you close your eyes. 

There was nothing in your world for you.

You missed Haein and the rest.

"I can shift with a second person," Jinwoo freezes.

"Hm?" Your eyes shoot open. "TWO PEOPLE? IS IT LIKE THE SHADOW EXCHANGE THING?"

Your hear a kNock and realize you accidentally knocked Jinwoo in the chin. He lets out a broken sound.

"Oh shit I'm so sorry," You stare at his chin, and you run your hands over it. "It's all red because of me..."

Jinwoo flushes red.

He had gotten used to your incessant flirting and yet he was still flustered at simple affection.

"So you can exchange with a shadow?"

"I have the high orc in my universe," Jinwoo stares at his soldiers. "And a couple of the knights."

"I miss the three musketeers of your shadows," You shift on his lap, and stare at the screen. "Those three were so entertaining."

"More entertaining than Beru and the others?"

You think hard. 

"They're all the same... though Beru's comments crack me up more since he can speak..."

Bellion lets out an offended gasp.

"OK LOOK BELLION MY BELOVED, I WASN'T THERE WHEN JINWOO GOT YOU YOU'RE OBVIOUSLY NOT GOING TO BE-"

"Don't you dare speak anymore to me," Bellion turns away and you feel your heart shatter.

"BELLION MY BELOVEDDDDD-" You sob dramatically.

"I can feel Igris sulking in the corner-"

"NO IGIRIS MY BELOVED COME HERE I'M SORRY LOVE-" You panic. "I KEEP FORGETTING YOU CAN SPEAK SINCE I LEFT AT CHAPTER 165-"

Igris tears up in the corner, and you run to comfort him.

"NOO MY LOVE I'M SORRY," You hug him. "I love you just as much..."

Igris leans on to your chest in tears, and you panic.

"See this is why I don't have a bias-"

"WE ALL KNOW YOU LIKE KAMISH BETTER THAN THE OTHER TWO,"

You hear a tray in the kitchen drop onto the floor.

"Ok look I wasn't even able to arise Baruka I'm obviously going to be biased against him."  Jinwoo rolls his eyes. "And Reina interferes with my control over the ants-"

You can hear incoherent screeching noises from Reina in the kitchen.

"I wasn't able to arise Kamish either but let's be honest Kamish and Kaisel are like the pets of the family." Jinwoo points out.

"Honestly," You stare at him and pat Igris on the head. "How are you not biased? You have like four generals in total."

Jinwoo shrugs.

Baruka walks out of the kitchen in a 'headpat the chef' apron and signs furiously.

'lIFE I CALL FOR THIS MAN TO BE DUMPED-'

Reina screeches in agreement.

"Jinwoo-"

Jinwoo flips the two of you so that you're being caged into the seat.

"Dump me?"

You stare up at him with a grin. 

"Why would you dump me?" He leans in so that your noses are touching.

Wrapping your arms around his neck, you pull him onto you.

"Yea..." You breathe next to his ear. "Dump you... and... date Haein instead."

"OH YOU DID NOT-"

You flip over so that both of you are sitting again and grin.

"I said I liked stealing people's wives," You shrug. "Haein is so much hotter anyway-"

Jinwoo hits you on the head lightly, and rolls his eyes. "I'm not taking you back with me then,"

"How old are you again?" You raise a brow at him. "You could be like a thousand for all I know,"

Jinwoo laughs. "I'm probably in my seventies if we're counting the timeline that we met in."

"Imagine being young forever... speaking of which, I haven't aged at all..." You mumble. 

"You are life for a reason," Jinwoo shrugs. 

"Wait I thought that was only the system?" You raise a brow.

"You're still registered as a player here," Jinwoo points at the players.

[Player two: Y/n L/n]

[Status: Omniscient]

[Occupation: Life]

"Can I de-age?" You stare at the screen. "OH I CAN!"

"Why?"

"For the shifting skill, if both players are missing, then the time in that universe stops." You mumble. "... that means that technically we're still middle schoolers in your universe."

Jinwoo freezes. "Are you saying...?"

"Let's go back." You stare at him. "I want to live a normal life in that world now."

Jinwoo stares at you.

"Really?"

"Yep!" You pop the P. "I wanna go back!"

"There has to be another reason."

"I want a threesome with Haein-"

"I KNEW IT"

You burst into laughter. 

"You sure you want to go back? What about your home?" Jinwoo places a hand on your back.

"I never wanted to come back here," You mumble into his chest. "Please let me go home... home where you are... where I met you and learned what living for someone was like..."

"Home... well I do miss my family," He smiles, eyes closed. 

"Then?"

Jinwoo locks an arm around your waist, and stores all of his shadows.

"Shift destination, home." Jinwoo commands.

[Now shifting both players home...]
