Kim Rok Soo, age 36, was, in his opinion, nothing special. There wasn't really anything that made him "special", other than, of course, his Tragic Past™️, which honestly wasn't even that tragic, in the grand scheme of things. Sure, he was intelligent, and worked hard, but plenty of people were like him. Kim Rok Soo tended to be overshadowed by those he worked with, no matter how much effort he put into everything he did.
To put it bluntly, Kim Rok Soo, age 36, was sick and tired of life.
This was what was the main instigator for him deciding to listen to his coworker and play the romance game "Birth of the Soulmate's Hero".
Kim Rok Soo didn't have any real obsession or connection with any of the characters; after all, it was a game, it was fictional, and Kim Rok Soo was what he'd consider pragmatic. Though it was true that he enjoyed the game and the world building, as well as the characters' scripts, he wasn't delusional. He knew they weren't real, and he was okay with that.
But when he opened his eyes one Monday morning, he found himself in a very fancy room that was very much not his own.

Hyung and Dongsaeng.
[Complete!] "Aigoo..." "..." "What did you do this time Cale?" A dramatic gasp came out from the redhead's mouth, looking at the teen with widened eyes, an offended look and a hand on his chest. The teen sighed. Kim Rok Soo isn't one to get mad at a simple thing and Cale knows this too. He's just worried about Cale since he always find ways to uphold his "Trash" title or in another term, finding ways to hurt himself even more. Kim Rok Soo enjoys the redhead's company as much as his two annoying hyungs. Not that he'll admit it though, but he can't accept that Cale is maintaining his title for no good reason. Kim Rok Soo needs a reason. If Cale is insecure about it then Rok Soo just needs to break down his walls and make him feel okay. Letting out another sigh. Kim Rok Soo placed his hand on Cale's shoulder making the redhead look at him questioningly. "Cale, I am your Hyung, such as you are my Dongsaeng. And it's a Hyung's job to look after his troublesome Dongsaeng." "So instead of hiding the problem and make it worse, it's better to let it out and talk to someone about it." Upon hearing this Cale flinched a bit but regained his composure and hesitantly asked Rok Soo. "Then..." "...Can I talk to you about it?" A rare soft smile made it's way to Rok Soo's face. "Sure." _______ Hi! Hello! This is my first fic so pls be easy with me. (ಥ_ಥ) Do note that there's curses and swear words.
