The Trickster x OCs (Stories) Dead by Daylight

𝗘𝘀𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗙𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝗼𝗴 - Chapter 22: Just Wanna Dance

Irene was nowhere near sleeping, and it was 2:04 in the morning. Ji-Woon passed out in the other loft about 5 hours ago. Maybe I could- No. He would wake up. -but did it matter? She was wide awake, but her body was groggy. She needed to exercise.

I'm going to regret this, aren't I? She slowly climbed down the ladder and turned the TV screen on.

I'm gonna wake him up, adjusting the volume to 15%. I shouldn't care. -but I don't want him to stare at me either.

Irene pressed the power button and grabbed a black Wii remote. Fuck it! I just wanna dance!

I'll never miss a Gold Move in this song. The Wii remote vibrated with a "ding" as the score glowed yellow with "Yeah!" in the center.

California girls

We're undeniable

Fine, fresh, fierce

We got it on lock

If only there was another Gold Move right here. Irene blew the hair out of her face as she started shaking her hips. She tuned out the words and turned her attention back to the score. Don't do that! Feel the groove! If you stare at the score, you'll fucking fail!

Another Gold Move, and she hit it. Yes! These are too easy! Why is the difficulty set to 2? Take On Me should be the hard one!

The song ended, revealing 5 golden stars and 10,612 points. A new record. (As usual.)

Irene took a few gulps of icy water, panting. Oh, how I missed doing this!

After the stars were added to the surprise gifts, Irene instantly selected Take On Me. (A song she used to like.)

She started out smooth. The rhythm was easy to follow, but the sweat on the remote wasn't helping. She started to mess up at the piano keys. Dear God, please don't. I need to get all 5 stars!

It was rather obvious. Irene was competitive in this game. She was so focused on the screen that she didn't realize the pair of golden yellow eyes that watched her from above.

Spin! "Fuck!" She muttered, missing the Gold Move. Don't fuck up again! As she told herself, a little "x" appeared on the score.

The rest of the song was either "Great" or "Ok." She was displeased but continued to the next song, Lollipop, entirely unaware that someone was sitting on the couch behind her.

Sucking too hard on your lollipop

Or love's gonna get you down

Sucking too hard on your lollipop

Or love's gonna get you down

Say, love, say, love

Or love's gonna get you down

Say, love, say, love

Or love's gonna get you down

Irene was into the beat with a smile plastered on her face. She had no idea what the song meant. -but she loved the happy tune.

Singing

Sucking too hard on your lollipop

Or love's gonna get you down

Sucking too hard on your lollipop

Or love's gonna get you down

Say love (say love), say love (say, love)

Or love's gonna get you down

Say love (say love), say love (say, love)

Or love's gonna get you down

Irene never missed a move and scored only "Good" or "Excellent."

Sucking too hard on your lollipop

Or love's gonna get you down

Say

Sucking too hard on your lollipop

Or love's gonna get you down (lollipop)

She finished with a bow and cheered at the scoreboard. 10,349 points total. "All 5 stars. I can't believe I only got 2 the last time I played this song."

"-I admit. That was impressive."

Irene spun around and nearly screamed. Ji-Woon sat on the gray sofa with his arms resting on the back. A troublesome smirk played on his lips.

"H-how long have y-you been t-there??" The girl mentally cursed herself for stuttering, but she was surprised. How did he manage to sneak down here without her noticing? Why didn't he say something sooner?

"Oh, long enough." He stood up, "I really enjoyed the show you put on for me~."

Irene frowned. "Sorry for waking you. -but I couldn't sleep."

"Did I say that it bothered me? No. So don't put words in my mouth."

The girl cringed at Ji-Woon's sudden aggressive behavior. She felt the hurried need to go hide in her loft again.

Ji-Woon strolled over to the table supporting the Wii console. "Do you have another remote?"
