I sat there, looking up the sky that was getting dark. A smile appeared on my face as i sighed in happiness. "This feels great" I talked to myself.

My head turned a bit to my left when i heard footsteps approached. "Here" CODE9 gave me a drink can, i can tell how happy he was by hearing his voice.

"Thank you" I thanked him and put the drink can closer to my lips as the mask became half. The other half that was covering my lips area disappeared like a hologram and appeared again when it can sense anything.

The game made it just for urgent times, during eating, drink and else.

I looked at him and saw his lips "Your above lip is thin"

He choked and coughed a bit before he nodded "Yeah my friends told me that too"

"im sorry, dont take it as an insult. Maybe there's a reason why The Creator didn't give you thick lips" I couldn't help but laugh and he did too along with me.

"I guess so" He shrugged and as he wanted to drink again i can see his lips again and he was smiling.

"You know that this game has been upgraded right?" Black masked, CODE9 asked. I nodded "now the weapons will appear right in our hands and the time are fixed--"

"As i expected, you only see the high changes" He laughed. "What do you mean?"

"Now we can see other players' emotions now, look" He moved his finger and anotger screen appeared. "Next of my life bar has a light, isn't it?" CODE9 asked.

I looked carefully to it, and saw a positive symbol with orange light bext to it.

"What does orange colour mean?" I asked in confusion. "If there's a positive symbol, means it is on good sides and negative symbol for the opposite. Each colours has few meaning with it, i guess mine right now is.. Excited" He laughed and stroked his hair to the back as he looked to the front.

I kept on staring at him, can't take my eyes away from him. Suddenly he looked at me and saw my status bar.

"Yours is purple. What's wrong?"

"W-what?" I asked. "Purple only have one feeling. That's what i read on the manual book. Which is.. Sadness. Are u sad right now?"

My eyes widened and stood up right away "N-no i dont" I laughed and brushed my nape. "Oh look at the time now, i need to go"

He stood up and reached out his hand "Thank you for helping me and staying with me" I took his hand and nodded "Not a problem!" I giggled.

My hand moved as slow as i can to find the log out button. When i found it, i bid my goodbye before i touched it and disappeared from the game.

My both eyes were opened but i can see anything. A sigh escaped my lips as i removed the gloves, boots and else before i stepped out from the capsule.

With my sense and as i was familiar with my room, i walked few steps ahead to reach my bed. When i sat down and bended down to get my phone, i heard something moved in the room.

"Who is that" I asked right away "It's me" Mom answered and not too long after, she sat next to me as i can feel the bed moved a bit.

"Im afraid that nobody tells you this but for our family dinner, we will have some guests"

"oh really? who is it?"

"Just a friend of dad" She held my hand. "Mom.. Im sorry" I apologised in sudden. "Why dear?"

I started to tear up "Im starting to forget your face"

Mom gasped slightly and held my face as she wiped the tears with her thumb. "But you would never forget my voice, right?"

I formed a smile "Never" I shook my head.

"i want to get ready, do u need any help?" Mom asked. "Yes, please choose a dress for me"

She chuckled "Already did. Here, wear this. Im sure dad will like it too"

After bathing, i went to my bed and grabbed the dress as i wore it after i wore my undergarments.

Out of blue, someone knocked my door "Do you want me to do your hair?" Aunt Aro asked.

"Y-yes please" I went to the door and unlocked it, let her in. I be seated on the chair and she started to do my hair.

She out on my hair into a bun and left some for my side bangs.

When she was doing her last touch up, both of us heard the door was be opened and mom voice's greeting the guests

"They are here, let's go miss" She held my hand, helping me to stand up and we got out frim the room right away.

They were at the door, i knew because Aunt Aro told me so. I walked downstairs carefully, and they stopped talking.

"Is that.. My new friend?" I heard a boy asked.

I gasped, is there a boy? A friend?

I walked to the table because i was familiar enough with my house. "Here, this chair is empty" Mom escorted me to a chair and i sat down.

"Mom" I called and she held my hand. "Who are they?" I whispered. She leaned closer to whisper to me "Dad just want to find a new friend for you since you are bored right now"

"Im not bored.. I have my game"

"Still Lara, you need to make friends in real life too. Dont worry, he is kind. He is just one year older above you, dont worry about it" Mom caressed my backhand and we began to start eating.

I was silent all the time while both my parents and the guests were talking except for the boy. I can't hear his voice anymore.

While eating, the guest suddenly greeted me "Lara, right?"

"A-ah yes"

"Is it true.. That you are playing virtual game?" she asked.

A smile formed "Yes" I answered happily. "I heard that the game is not suitable for teens like you guys. Because of the fightings and everything. Plus it could bring violence into real life. Isn't it more nice if the game is be destroyed?" My hand accidentally slipped and dirtied my hand with the dish sauce.

I tightened my fist under the table "The game is not just about fightings. There are some just to enjoy the gane, walking around. Isn't it being selfish if
the game is destroyed just because of fights that never be brought to the outside, in real life? What's about the others that just want to enjoy the game, or a blind person like me that want to enjoy seeing the world eventhough it's just a virtual one?"

It was silent for a moment and i stood up "Im sorry for my rudeness. Im going to wash this"

I walked away and went to the inside to the kitchen. I turned the tap and washed my hand while spacing out

Nobody was there because mom and dad knew that i can handle it by myself. I knew the exact route to not hurt myself

"Carefully, you will stain your sleeve" Someone held my sleeve.

My eyes widened, it was the boy, their son!

"W-what are u doing here?" I stepped backwards. "Watch out!" He pulled me to him by holding my hand and sighed. Behind me there are knives, if i bumped into the case, the knives might fell off and hurt me even a scratch.

"Your parents said you are familiar with the surroundings. How can u be this careless?" He asked.

"Yah! That's because im shocked of course. What are u doing in here??"

"My mom afraid that she might hurt your feelings so she told me to accompany you. "Oh.. No worries. Im used to this" I smiled weakly.

"Anyway, my name is Jungkook. Yours is Lara, isn't it? I hope we can be friends"
