ONLINE HUSBAND

17. Tanghulu

I realized later that I added too much extra stuff in previous chapter so you must be bored with most part. I was careful about that while writing this one.

Another thing, I need a lot of comment on this part to continue writing next one. So you'll have to comment a lot if you want a quick update.

*******************

After taking off the helmet, Jimin sat still for a while to let his mind return slowly to reality.

"You've come back!" Upon hearing movement behind him, Ki Joon hurriedly turned around and laughed,"Five hours have passed. I've been checking on you several times, I was afraid you wouldn't come back!"

Jimin: "You watch too many sci-fi movies..."

Ki Joon: "Big Head came over just now. When he saw you sitting there motionless while wearing a helmet, he asked me curiously if you were blowing your hair with hot air."
Big Head was their nickname for one of their roommates, he was a learning madman who always had his head buried in a book,
"I told him that you were playing a game. Then he asked me, 'Playing games like this? Don't lie to me,' I told him a bunch of things about holographic helmets before concluding, 'Haven't you seen Avatar? It's the same as that', and he was dumbfounded at the time, hahaha!"

Jimin also laughed and asked: "He was looking for me?"

Ki Joon: "Yes, he came to ask you to borrow class notes, I helped him find them, but also told him not to touch you, because it could cause your soul to become stuck in the game. You should have seen his face at that time, it made me laugh to death!"

"Pfft, you are so exaggerating..." Jimin then remembered Leisure Cloud telling them that he was being tickled by Wild Crane in reality, which meant he could feel it even when he was online. He told Ki Joon about this and said that it didn't matter if he was disturbed while playing.

Ki Joon: "I told him I was joking. That Big Head, he would even believe something like this."

Jimin smiled and shook his head. When he got up to wash his face, he caught a glimpse of the red flash on his smart bracelet. There was one unread message sent by Taehyung- "Jogging tonight?" – from two hours ago.

When Taehyung taught Jimin to play tennis two weeks ago, he casually said that he would accompany Jimin to run, and Jimin could call him whenever he was free.

Seeing him so enthusiastic to help him, Jimin felt especially grateful. So, he hurriedly replied once he saw the SMS, no matter how late it was: "Sorry ah, I didn't see your message. Are you asleep already?"

Unexpectedly, Taehyung's reply came really fast: "I'm not, were you busy?"

Jimin: "No, I was playing a game, so I didn't see your SMS."

Taehyung: "Are you going to sleep now? "

Jimin: "I'm getting ready to wash my face. But I'm still feeling very excited, so I probably won't be sleeping anytime soon."

Taehyung: "Do you want to go run two laps now?"

Jimin was surprised, running when it's already past midnight? But then he thought about it, jogging two laps would most likely take 10 minutes, and he might be able to sleep more easily once he became tired from running. Not to mention, he replied to Taehyung's message so late tonight, so refusing his offer didn't seem nice.

"OK, I'll change my clothes and meet you downstairs in about five minutes."

Taehyung did not wait downstairs, but went directly to the third floor instead. After waiting for two minutes, he saw Jimin coming out from room 306. The other man was wearing a slightly thick sportswear. When he saw Taehyung, he quickly walked over to him.
