Stuck In VR | Chen Fanfic [√]

Chen sat outside the safe house they were staying at for the time being.

He daydreamed about random things like what his life would be like when he gets out.

'will it be the same as before?' He asked himself.

Knowing that it probably will.

He'll be the same trouble making, unemployed, gamer and Soju addict he always was.

With no actual life whatsoever, Not a care in a world and living away from reality and hurt.

Along with other things.

"No emotions, no hurt." was his moto in life, literally.

To Chen, having emotions were a pain in his ass.

Of course he did whine alot and complain almost all the time, but he didn't like it.

He hated being himself.

Being himself means being the most emotional shit in the universe and he hated that.

"Yo, you okay?" Hyunji sat beside him and gave him a glass of beer.

He looked at the glass of beer in her hands and immediately took it and chucked.

"I'm guessing not.." She sighed and looked ahead.

"This isn't as a good as Soju.."

"It's the best we got! Don't complain you whiny baby." Hyunji scolded.

"I wasn't even whining! Oh my gosh.."  Chen mentally rolled his eyes at her.

"Whatever, I'm not gonna even argue." Hyunji scoffed.

"Excuse me? I'm trying to enjoy the view and you're scoffing at me? I was daydreaming too, You ruined it." Chen sighed.

"Jongdae...What's bothering you? Tell me so that you won't build up stress."

He was shocked.

He knew that when she called him by his name, she was being serious.

"Why.. do you care?"

"Because..." Hyunji tried to find the words but she couldn't for some reason.

"... I care for you." She said finally.

"Don't get it wrong! I care for everyone in our team." She flushed.

Chen let out a small laugh.

"Cute." He muttered.

"Since you're being so serious, I'll tell you then, promise not to tell anyone else." He put out his pinky finger.

"A pinky swear.? What are you, Eight?" She joked.

"Just do it!" He looked away and pouted.

"Arraso." She smiled and pinky sweared with him.

"Okay so.. Do you know why I moved to our school so suddenly?"

"Um.. You're parents wanted to move houses.? It's probably one of the most common ones."

"No... My parents got a divorce when I was around 10 years old. I went with my dad but he never really cared about me. So I caused trouble for his attention... Stupid, right?" He chuckled to himself sadly.

"Everyone needs love, it's okay." She gave him a reassuring smile.

"I.. Even tried calling my mom a few times ; She never picked up. A month before moving to our school, I ran away from home knowing that my father wouldn't care. He was a achohol addict so he was busy hooking up with girls and drinking, smoking.." Jongdae sighed and a single tear dropped.

"It's okay if you don't wanna talk about it. We could just go back in and have a nice rest-" Hyunji was about to stand up but Jongdae grabbed her wrist.

"No, keep listening. I know it's much to ask from but please listen to me." He continued looking down, not wanting her to look at him crying.

She nod and sat back down.

"I planned everything perfectly, I signed a form with my father's signature on moving to our school and paying the school fee , I bought a small cheap apartment. I saved up alot for the big day. My only problem was leaving. I loved my dad no matter what he did, He's still family after all. But I knew I would never be able to live properly if I lived with him. It's the hardest decision I made honestly, but it was the best one. but now.. That desire to live is simply just.. Gone. I had absolutely no idea how to live after that even when I met you. Now I'm just a loser living in his apartment doing nothing but video games all day."

"...... I.. Don't know what to say.."

Hyunji couldn't believe Jongdae has such a past she thought he was just some normal guy who was depressed because his close friends died.

"I know.. Being me isn't easy."

Hyunji thought she had said something like this before but when.?

..flashback to first chapter..

"I was drunk then.." She said out loud.

"What do you mean?" Jongdae asked.

"Um.. Nothing for you to know.." She tried hiding her embarrassment.

"I'm shocked honestly. Yuna didn't feel that sad when her mom got a divorce with her dad. She lived a happy life so.. I didn't know you'd be in this situation. The only friend I had was Yuna.. Well, the only friend I remembered having."

"I'm just happy to share this with you. Even if I couldn't tell Minseok hyung about this at least I told you. " Chen said in relief.

"My story isn't as complicated as yours but it's sad too. I'll tell you one day but today isn't the day to tell it." Hyunji smiled.

"Soooo shall we go and get some sleep?" Hyunji said enthusiasticly.

"Definitely not with you. I'm gonna sleep in another room where I won't be grabbed and be stiff the whole night." Chen said slyly.

"I-it was an accident! I did it unconsciously!!" Hyunji blushed so hard her cheeks hurt.

"I remember you said you didn't want me to leave, you pervert." Chen teased.

"H-hey! I'm not a pervert you idiot!!" Hyunji took out her slipper  and hit him with it.

"Excuse me? You swine!!"

It is safe to say, they had quite a comforting evening.
