Water Droplets (KaiStal f.f)

Ch. 12

The darkness of my dreams fade away when I begin to hear squealing and chuckling being amplified into my ears. Seriously? This is like my mom trying to get me up for school except this is more... childish.

"Krystal, get up! We're going to be late for breakfast!" Kai's voice smacks onto my cheek and I open my eyes to see him only inches away from my... lips. His lips are not pale anymore.

Still groggy from just waking up, I ask him what time it is.

"I literally just said that it's time to wake up; if you don't, I'll take your first kiss." He whispers, pulling me up like a zombie being resurrected by whatever force.

"It's so dark outside, though..." I close my eyes and then let my head fall onto his shoulder. Who knew shoulder were so sharp 'cause I bounced off that thing quick. "Kai, do you exerci—"

The hormone producing organ of my body begins to pump it's special delivery to my whole body as Kai places his hands on my shoulders and leans in closer to me. I want to push him away but I, a weak lamb, let's him quickly peck me on my lips.

My heart literally stops beating.

His lips are soft from what I assume is Chapstick, which I've honestly never seen a grown man use. It's like an actual Prince Charming who is perfect in every aspect.

"I told you, Krystal. Oh, also, I sent some clothes to your inventory so go to the bathroom and get washed up, okay?" He stares into my empty soul as he says that. Am I... alive? It's not that I didn't like it, it's just that I don't know how to respond.

If I'm too happy about it, then he might think I'm a slut. On the flip side, if I'm too sad and refuse to accept it, then he'll think I'm boring like the teachers at our school.

"Oh... okay." I try to smile but exhaustion takes over my poor body again. Kai leaves me off to go to the bathroom by blowing me a kiss before walking into a spare (?) room to do whatever he's doing.

"Unnie, I just had my first kiss..." I think of Sooyeon as I roll off the bed and crash into the wall. I get up as fast as lightening and then hug the entrance of the bathroom door. "It was just a peck, though... not a kiss." I get dim again and close the bathroom door.

Heaving a sigh like I always do, I pull up my Stats by tapping my wrist and then look at all my notifications from oldest-newest.

Mellie
April 3, 2100: Krystal, I think I'm going to die! The guy I'm introducing to the game is so hot, but he already found a girl to hit on T__T

Mellie
April 4, 2100: I'm assigned to be the guide for a female today... yay...

Mellie
April 7, 2100: Answer me, Krystal! I'm getting too bored of talking to these annoying thirsty children, unlike you who's probably just studying.

I chuckle from her messages; ah... typical Mellie. She probably never fails to get friends, unlike me.

I click on her contact and start typing a message that'll be sent to her.

Krystal
April 10, 2100: I'm so sorry for not texting you back any sooner. Anyways, great news! I found a great boyfriend... he gave me a morning kiss.

I send the message to her and wonder what Amy (Ahyeon) is doing right now. What is she's in the same game except in a whole different world? Is she at school trying to sleep in class because she sleeps like 3 hours a night? Who knows, right?

I then go back to the Home screen and press inventory. It leads me to a hologramic (the Stats are hologramic as well as most other things) page of my current inventory and gifts I received.

Clicking on the gift box, I study all the clothes that Kai gave to me as a gift...

It's a bikini with barely any straps and it comes with a message from Kai:

It's not actually eating breakfast; we're going to go swimming for your breakfast and you're going to wear this to do so. I won't forgive you if you don't wear this >:D

"Well, let's hope nothing gets steamy in the hot tub."

my humor is not even funny, lmao.
