You sigh as you finally plop yourself down in front of your computer. Cursed homework took you way longer than you expected, but with the night off from work, you decide that skipping out for a few hours to hold your promise with Yoosung won't hurt. Sending him a quick text to let him know you're finally ready, you boot up your computer and sign into the private LOLOL server Yoosung linked you to. As to his word, there's only the two of you in there, and he finds you in game rather quickly. You turn on your mic, and hear the click of his before his cheerful voice fills your ear.

"Hey Mari! Found you~" He chuckles softly. "I'm still glad you agreed to play with me. It feels like forever since I've seen you on a server! And yes, I am on often enough to tell..."

You can hear the slight shame in his voice at these words, but what did you expect? His level didn't get that high being as casual player as you. "Yeah, thanks for the offer, Yoosung." you reply with a faint smile. "I really feel like I needed a break from... well, everything. Are you going to be up late again tonight?"

"Of course! There's supposed to be a special item drop at midnight tonight!" he replies excitedly. "You're welcome to join me if you don't plan on sleeping either, though that seems unlike you."

"Yeah, maybe I will..." you reply, being met only with a gasp of surprise. It's true, you rarely stayed up late unless you were working or busy with homework, so a late night video game was certainly unusual. Yoosung asks if everything's okay, and you shrug before remembering he can't see you. "Yeah," you finally say. "Just a lot on my mind I guess. I've been having these weird dreams lately too... They've been making me think a lot. And let's just say I'm not all that looking forward to sleeping tonight." Yoosung seems to listen and understand, as he hums in thought before moving on. You two understand each other rather well, and you appreciate the fact that you feel comfortable enough to tell him that, though it did take quite the private setting to do it. And he understands enough to just leave you to think if you need, or help you level up and keep your mind occupied. You mentally thank him for that, reminding yourself to say it out loud properly later.

The two of you end up playing for a good two hours, and you find yourself relaxing. You've levelled up your character another 4 levels, and Yoosung seems to have managed another 2 for his own. Though you still envy his diligence to the game, you can't help but laugh as he still manages to mess up things even you wouldn't be caught dead doing. It makes you wonder how he got so good. Perhaps simply by putting so many hours into it.

"Hey Yoosung," you interrupt. "What's that?"

Glancing across your screen, your friendly sparring quest had been interrupted by a notification, and a rather intimidating silhouette standing on the game's horizon. Yoosung' character turns to face the same way as you, and you hear a gasp on his end of the microphone. "No way..." he mumbles softly. Now you find yourself simply confused, but before you can ask, a small chat bubble pops up in the bottom left corner, sent from someone other than you and Yoosung.

-Hello!- the chat read. -Mind if I join? You looked all lonely in here-

You hear Yoosung mumbling again, a little angrier this time, before you hear furious typing from his keyboard. Soon enough, another chat bubble pops up from Yoosung's character. You know what he's saying even before the message is sent thanks to his grumpy muttering, but you still raise an eyebrow in confusion as you re-read his words.

-How did you get in here?! Seven, I swear if you hacked into my server again I'll march over to your house right now and rip your computer screens apart!-

Now you are thoroughly confused. "Seven...?" You mutter quietly. That wasn't the player's username... Though Yoosung acts as though he knows this person.

Another chat pops up from the mystery player.

-Gasp! Yoosung. You have your mic on? Ooh, goodie~ Let me join in the conversation!! As fast as my fingers can be, I know you love to hear my soothing voice-

"Gah!" Yoosung erupts slightly. "He flat out ignored my question! Though it's obvious that damn Seven hacked in because he was bored..." You hear Yoosung sigh softly, and you can only imagine the sad look on his face. "Sorry Mari. I had promised just you and me... Maybe another time, right? At least we got a few hours together!"

"Yeah," you reply, smiling to yourself. You did get a few hours, and they were nice while they lasted. You think how you'll have to do that again sometime, just you and Yoosung. Just as you're about to open your mouth again though, an unfamiliar voice interrupts you.

"Ooh, Mari, huh? Sounds like a pretty name~ She your new girlfriend, Yoosung?" The voice is teasing and joking, and you can practically feel the sarcasm drip off it through the microphone. You can easily tell it's a male voice, and as much as you hate to admit it, a rather attractive sounding voice.

"You know very well I don't have a girlfriend, Seven!" Yoosung snaps back slightly. "Now why have you hacked into my server yet again?"

"Why, because you looked lonely! I already told you. Plus, two people can't go on any proper raid you know," the voice - Seven, you have realized him to be called - replies smoothly. You know he's right, but the way he was so smug about it simply made you frown more. You're not in the mood for this right now. "Ah, did I scare your poor friend away? She hasn't moved in a while."

You blink slightly, before hearing a voice seem to whisper directly into your ear a very sweet hello. You feel a touch flustered, the hand resting on your mouse moving enough to give signs of life. "I, uh... No, you didn't scare me away." You say quickly. "I just realized I had some more stuff I had to get done." Okay, so you half lied. Sure, there were things you should be doing, but you simply didn't feel like it right now. You hear the stranger give out a tiny "aww" at your words.

"Leaving so soon? But I only just got here! Maybe Defender of Justice Seven-Zero-Seven has to come through and save the day again, so that the beautiful young lady may stay and play with us!" He seems to cheer slightly, energetically calling out to what feels like the whole world. You think that he must be absolutely crazy! Not to mention the way he spoke and the amount of energy he held in each word seemed so surreal... And wait, did he just call you beautiful? But he didn't even see what you looked like! You find yourself blushing faintly anyway, trying to find your words once again.

"Seven, don't just shout random ridiculous things into the microphone! You haven't even met her, so leave her be! Besides. She actually does her homework, unlike me, so she does not need your 'help', alright?" Yoosung comments with a grunt. It sounded as though he was standing up for you while you recomposed yourself, but you only hear a small chuckle from Seven, and Yoosung only seems to gasp more. "You didn't! I thought V told you not to go digging through people's private files anymore!! Whatever you've hacked into, get out of them right now!"

You're staring to believe that this is some kind of joke between the two. You never truly believed hacking was any real kind of skill or ability, just something made up for movies. Just like Yoosung practically lives in LOLOL, you think this Seven guy must live somewhere like the moon to sound as crazy as he did. With a small sigh, you type out a tiny goodbye in the chat, so as not to disrupt the boys' arguing, and shut your computer off for the night. Though you debate actually following through with finishing your homework, you simply crash on your bed and lay there for a while, thinking.

Another hour or so later, your phone lights up with a text.

Yoosung: Sorry about Seven. He doesn't really understand boundaries or subtleties well. I had fun with you though. Maybe when you're free next we can try again!

You smile weakly at his text, and reply with a simple "sure, I'd love to" message. You truly do, but at the moment you seem content with laying on your bed until morning. Whether you sleep or not, it didn't matter. So long as you didn't dream...
