At the beginning, Kook didn't think it was important. Even though Master had never been late before, but occasionally missing the mark by a few minutes was normal. However, when the minutes pa.s.sed by and it became seven forty-five, Kook started to panic. Even knowing that he wasn't there, Kook couldn't help but sent a message over ––
"Are you there?"
Naturally, there was no response.
After another two minutes, another message. After that, Kookie didn't send anymore but just started refreshing Tae's name, and the system repeatedly reminded him – The player is not online, you cannot refresh his status.
The names of Suga and the others were also dark.
Not online.
Seven fifty.
Kook appeared along in front of the NPC. Above his head was the team symbol, but there was only him.
Around the NPC, there were already a lot of people. Starting with the eliminations, it was possible to watch. These people were here to pay money to watch. Seeing Jeon kook standing along, they couldn't help but be curious and started discussing in front of him.In Front [ Chong Zi Ken Wo Ju]: Why is there only Jeon kook , where's Vantae e?
In Front [Xian Yu Zi]: Probably late.
In Front [963]: For such an important match, he can't be late.
In Front [Bu Chuan Ku Ku Hao Liang Shuan]: There's still another ten minutes, there's no rush. The hero always appears last.
Seven fifty-five.
Kook blocked out all the discussion and left Tae a message; "I'm waiting for you in front of the NPC, you can just come straight over."
The bystanders continued their discussion.
In Front [Ding Ding Tao]: Not much time out, still not here?
In Front [Huo Jian Guei 1.0]: Is he not coming?
In Front [Bai Chi Wa Wa]: Kao. Is history repeating? This couple is also divorcing?
In Front [daydreamer]: doesn't look like it, if Jeon kook is getting divorced, he wouldn't be standing here.In Front [Pi Li Jiao Wa]: The way I look at it, Jeon kook is getting dumped again!
Eight o'clock.
His friends sent over more and more questions. Kook closed them one by one. Lastly, he close Tae's window.
The crowd gradually left.
In Front [One Bei Zi Guang Guen]: let's leave, let's leave. I'm just discouraged
In Front [☆Ning Che☆]: I thought I would see a great PK match today. Luckily I didn't buy tickets.In Front [Gou Wei Ba Cao]: Taking the washroom but not s.h.i.tting. If you aren't competing, leave earlier. You gave up the crown to other servers. The other servers are laughing.
In Front [jager]: You can't say it that way. If it wasn't Jeon kook and Vantae , our server probably couldn't make it into the finals.
In Front [Luo Man Di Ke]: Let's wait, there's still three minutes of preparation. If they enter within three minutes, they could still fight.
In Front [Qi Yue]: Probably not coming. Oh, I feel pretty back for Jeon kook .
In Front [Xiao Yu Mian Mian]: Pretty pitiful hoho.
Eight oh two.Kookie clicked the NPC, wanting to enter alone. The NPC sent a reminder: You must enter together with your husband.
Eight oh three.
The system sent out a notice, announcing that due to the fact Vantae and Jeon kook had forfeited, the winner of this PK Tournament was won by another server.
Eight oh three.
Kook logged out of the game.
"I feel there is something wrong these few days with Kookie ."
At night in the dorm, Jin started at Kookie who was wearing headphones looking at the computer. he ruminated at what Kook was doing."It's normal, it's almost exam time. he always turns into a weird monster during exam time." Eunwoo replied with his head down as he moved his pen rapidly over the page.
"he's not playing his game."
"That's still normal. If he plays now, he won't get a scholarship. Without a scholarship, he can't play next term." Eunwoo kept on going, his pen and his mouth not stopping, "How do you have the presence of mind to think about Kookie ? A few days ago, you were crying. How is Namjoon?"
"He's fine, he deserved it. The graduating batch were going out for dinner, and he unabashedly inserted himself. That's fine, and then he gets in an accident with them."
Even thinking about it, Jin got angry. he pushed thoughts of Kook to one side and started to criticize his boyfriend.
Immersed in his own world, Jungkook didn't realize his roommates had been discussing him. he was watching the male bandit video at the moment. he hadn't gone online the last two days. Other than studying, he was watching the video on repeat. Sometimes he really didn't want to, but even studying, he would give in to temptation and watch. A heavy weight pushed down on his heart and didn't leave. It seemed like only the video could make his heart lighter.
Or rather, it was that silhouette.
Vantae .
Vantae .
he silently said the name in his heart. Jungkook looked at the screen in a trance.
On the screen, the white-clothed musician was standing dejectedly on the peak of Sunset Mountains. Under the simple but emotionally-charged music, his back seemed both lonely and bleak. Jungkook looked and looked and found it was similar to his own figure standing alone in front of the NPC that day. he could imagine the feelings he had inside.
At that time, his heart was probably in shock.
It wasn't anger at missing the time, nor regrets at not being able to fight and compete. It was a kind of blank shock and panic. In the last few minutes, he couldn't stop thinking ––
Why wasn't Tae here yet?
Was it that, after this time, he won't ever come again?
In games, there were too many partings without any farewells. Was Tae also going to perform such a parting?
In these days, he couldn't stop himself from watching the video. In his head he kept thinking –– would this, this video be in the long days after, be the only evidence he had of Tae ... ...
Ugh~~~~~
Jungkook weakly splayed out on the bed and felt helpless at himself.
Why would he create these strange and unwelcome thoughts? Tae might only have had an emergency and couldn't come. he didn't have to make it so serious. And, to see if Tae really disappeared, he could just take a look inside the same, he just didn't go online~~~
Between the mental and emotional struggles that Jungkook was going though, the story of the male bandit once again finished playing. In the mourning music, the musician and the blue -clothed kook turn white once again.
Jungkook wiped the corners of his eyes. It was so dramatic, he was crying again from watching it. Honestly speaking, watching the video for the first time was very emotionally moving. But after watching it for so many times, he was already dumb.
Now he was once again ... ...
Dazedly looking at the poised nature and self-a.s.surance embodied by the white-clothed musician, Jungkook, very slowly, in his heart, found a sliver of understanding ... ...
And then, "Pia", Kook closed his computer, threw away his earphones and pushed his head under the pillow.
It was over, over. he was actually hurting and wistful.
It was over ... ...
he seemed to, almost, maybe, fallen in love with a person.
