Chapter 13 He Is Not Me.

The player was on repeat, and during the time Jungkook was off in his thoughts, it had restarted the video. The cheerful flutes sounded and on the screen, the male bandit was in bright blue again, on top of the horse making a strong ride down the mountain.
Jungkook quickly closed it. Knowing the ending, the satirical scenes in the front made him depressed. He didn't want to see it a second time.
Opening the game, Kook sent Tae a message: "I watched it, it was very good."
After writing down only this much, Kook had nothing else to write. he had so many feelings, but didn't know what to say. Unless he wanted to say he almost cried?
That sounds very dumb ＝ ＝
So without any more topics to write about, he asked; "You changed the ending?"
After the message was sent, Tae's name turned bright. Quickly, his message came back. "En, changed it. Otherwise the length wasn't enough."
"You came back ^_^ ~~Length? What length?"
Kook was confused, where they talking about the video length? But he remembered that there had been no limits.
Tae: "In the contest regulations, if the video reaches half an hour and wins, the experience they reward multiplies."
Tae: "Since we are actually doing it, what is deserved should be given."
Jungkook embraces he hadn't noticed this rule in the legalese, but ... ... Master, you are this certain we can win ... ...
No No, this wasn't the important bit. The point was, according to Master, the bits at the end that almost made him cry was because he wanted to add more time?
Jungkook thought about this and reopened the video. Of course! The video was perfectly thirty minutes, not a second over or under.
... ...
Even if the reality was so clear and cruel, Kook still held a small hint of hope: "Then you ... ... how did you think of the ending? It was so much better than the original one"
Tae: "The original ending was also good, but using flashbacks to extend time with that ending would have been too evident."
Flashbacks to extend time? So repeating the scenes? It sounded like the rumored tactic of adding water . Jungkook remembered that this ending also had flashback, so very hesitantly asked: "Then this new ending ... ... was because it was easier to add flashbacks in?"
"Pretty much."
Kook was defeated.
So Master wasn't just trying to lengthen the video, he was also adding a lot of water. His ending originated from the viewpoint of cheating and being lazy. What emotional impact, what live and die together, that's all just fake.
>o
Kook realized that getting emotionally moved earlier was too dumb ... ...
Immediately, Jungkook , suppressing his complicated feelings, sent the video to the contest for submission. And as to why he was doing it and not Master? Well, that's because Master was too lazy to register >_
After uploading, Kook and Tae went to do quests. Kook refreshed his post once they finished their quest and was shocked by the number of hits and replies.
Why were there so many replies?!
Some of the replies were within one minute of his posting. That little time, it wasn't enough to even look at the video. But after reading the posts, Jungkook understood.
In the end, it was still affected by the incident of Hylo and Vantae challenging Gyumon to a duel. It wasn't just popular in their server, even the forums and other servers had been discussing it. That was still a popular topic now. So the moment Jungkook sent out his video, there was a very eager and large audience that came to be spectators. Even Vantae and Jeon kook were partic.i.p.ating in the video contest! Was it to fight it out with Hylo ? Definitely! Some people were also guessing that a mock-up of Hylo would be in the video, to act as a bashing target.
Kook couldn't resist side-eying them in his heart! Some people were just nasty people, spreading rumors without looking watching. His video wouldn't have any sort of third wheel!
And back to the point, with his and Master's shining reputation, they didn't need another third wheel to set themselves off >o
Kook  flipped through page by page. It wasn't until page five until there was an actual response to the video itself. It was a girl replying. Her response was several crying emoticons, yelling that she had actually cried.
Hehehe, she cried. Kook was happy.
That was good, the number of people that had been tricked by Master wasn't just himself now!
After seeing several replies of people falling into emotional angst, Kook happily went back into the game to tell Tae: "Have you seen the responses, so many people say they watched and cried. But I'm now the scapegoat. On the video, you put that I wrote the script in the credits, everybody is saying I'm very s.a.d.i.s.tic and evil."
And it was true. If a story had a hilarious opening, then the middle was comedic but the ending was tragic, then the scriptwriter either was devious and evil or really was in need of a beating.
Tae: "Didn't read, tell me the result when it comes out."
>_
It was his work and results, but he wasn't even excited one bit. Kook said: "En en en, I will report to you everyday ^_^"
In the following days, whenever Kookwas free, he was standing guard and refreshing the post.
The video became more and more popular, but this time it was based on the virtues of the video itself and not the power of gossip. A few people praised the skill of the editing and after finding out it was Vantae, was even more amazed. One player said: "This video is just amazing! Vantae is too strong, not just with fighting. His technical skills are just this good. All around perfect.
More people were discussing the plot, especially the ending and the choice that the musician had made.
There was a lot of discussion around it, so much that Kook himself started struggling and had to ask Tae: "Why did the musician have to kill the male bandit."
Tae went silent for a while and intelligently replied: "This plot point, I'm sure it was you who wrote it."
Kook: "... ..."
Kook: ">o<, ...="">
But he had been fooling around.
Kook still struggled: "But if it had been you, would you kill the male bandit?"
The moment he sent the question, Kook immediately realized that something wasn't right. The question shouldn't have been asked that way, it seemed like asking about somebody's inner thoughts. But ... ... he wanted so much to know ... ... that line "Rather than letting him live and hate me, better to have him die" kept floating in and out of his mind in the past days. He  really wanted to know if the real Vantae was the type of person to say something like that.
It seemed that Tae didn't mind his nosiness, and quickly replied: "Not me"
Kook: "En?"
Tae: "He is not me, I wouldn't have gotten that far."
Kook blanked out and then uncontrollably and for an unknown reason, the corners of his lips started to rise.
During this time, Hylo and Gyumon's new video came out, but the popularity wasn't as high as before. Neither their plot nor their editing was as good as Kook and his groups'.
Very quickly, the submission period ended and the voting period began. Kook and Tae's video was the leader by a very large margin, throwing the second place, Gyumon and Hylo, by a large margin. Even kook, who was usually very modest, felt that their chances of winning were very high.
However, on the day before the results came out, Kook received a strange message from Jhay:
"Kook, I have a question to ask you."
"What?"
"You promise not to get angry and I'll ask."
Kook embarrassing , if you want to ask just ask. Promising wasn't necessary but he still said: "You ask, promise not to be angry."
"Please don't get angry. Really I'm just the messenger. If, I'm saying IF, somebody would give you a large amount of money, would you be willing to back out of the contest?"
Kook blanked. He recovered quickly: "Gyumon ?"
Jhay: "kook you guessed it!:
Kook: "No need to guess."
Wasn't it obvious? If he back out of the contest, who would receive the benefit directly? And who else did Jhay know?
Jhay: "Hylo really seems to like that set of clothing so Gyumon is keeping him in the dark by getting me to ask you. He probably was too embarra.s.sed to ask you directly. Kook, are you angry?"
If Kook  said he wasn't, then it wasn't true. But it wasn't worth it to be angry. It was normal in the game to sell and buy stuff so this wasn't anything special. But to take money directly to back out of the contest? That was out of the line!
Kook rested his fingers on the keyboard, thinking of what to reply with.
Of course he had to refuse, but when faced with people who used money to solve problems, using reasoning to reject them wasn't very satisfying. That wouldn't affect them. The best way was to have more money than them, and p.i.s.s them off! But even though Kook didn't have any money ... ... but he could fake it! It was across a screen, he wasn't afraid of being caught.
So Kook , who came from a middle-cla.s.s farming family, started to aggressively type: "Not angry, just found it hilarious. There's actually people who want to bribe me! Too funny, he thinks he has more money than me?"
"How many houses does his family have around the world? What car does his servants drive while buying groceries? What's the bloodline of his cat? His family ... ..."
Kook threw out multiple lines of comparisons, until he couldn't think of anymore. At the end, he very grandly wrote his last line: "If he isn't on planning to spend a few ten thousands to bribe me, tell him not to embarra.s.s himself."
Jhay was in shock. A few ten thousands! Gyumon wouldn't spend that much. From his tone, he seemed to be thinking at max just ten thousand. Looks like Jeon kook really had money. The suffix he used was ten thousand!
"Kook, so your family is rich, I couldn't really tell!"
Kook: ">o<, i'm="">
Jhay : "Then it's fine. Kook, sure you aren't angry? I didn't really want to help him ask but I felt he really loves Hylo . Got a bit soft-hearted."
Before Kook could reply, he sent another message over: "Did you know? They've met, and they are a couple now in real life."

I finally wanna forget about you
