An hour and a half passed by, and Myung and I packed our belongings.
"Alright. Let’s go play some games, Park."
I was about to leave with Myung.
"Park...."
But my professor was still here. Sweat began to fall down my face. Myung laughed as I slowly turned my head toward my professor.
"Don’t get yourself killed, Park❤️" As she left.
"hehe....I’ll try."
She was angrily tapping her finger on the desk. I always wonder why a terrifying woman like her is teaching in a math class?
***
After getting chewed out by my professor for running really late for school, I was desperately walking outside the school.
"Hey, Park, over here."
From a distance, Myung was waving at me at the front gate of the school.
"Wow, she really ate you up, huh?"
"Yeah, she did. She said I should stop being nice to people and get my crap together."
"Hehe, Park, you know she really loves you."
I really doubt that. Throughout the entire time I was in her class, she was the only one to scold me like I was a kid or something. My professor was in the military; she served six years in it too. I also hear stories about how she easily beat eight men without breaking a sweat. But the one thing that caught me by surprise was that the professor had a boyfriend; the dating part didn’t surprise me, but the having a boyfriend part did. I thought that she had a thing for women.
We walked down the sidewalk, and I saw the pc bang that Myung and I always go to at the beginning of our college days.
"You’re paying, right? Park❤️" She said smugly.
"Huh? Why am I paying? Why can’t you pay?"
"Park, Please"
Myung was making a puppy-like face, trying to convince me to pay for her. Myung always knows how to get her way with me, but of course I always give in to her needs.
"Fine, I’ll pay."
"Yay❤️"
I pulled out my card and walked to the front desk of the pc bang.
"Two pc with four hours of play time, please."
"Yes, that will be 3,000 won."
I swiped my card on the card reader.
"Your pc’s will be fifteen and sixteen. Thank you very much, and have a good time."
The lady at the front handed me a receipt with the numbers of the computers we had. I walked to Myung.
"Alright, let’s go, shall we?"
"Yes." She said excitedly.
We sat down at the pc’s; I couldn’t help but think that these computers were really nice. I turned on the computer and typed in the code to log in.
"What game shall we play?" I asked.
"Mmmm? How about League of Legends?"
My heart stopped for a moment. The game that everyone hates in the entire gaming world, League of Legends.
"S-S-Sure."
As I moved my mouse to the League of Legends icon, my hand was shaking out of fear. This was the most I had ever felt fear before; even getting caught by Hyunjoo was less scary than this. I double-clicked on the game, and it opened up.
I typed in my email and password for my account. The game began loading up.
"Are you ready, Park?" She said excitedly.
"Y-Yeah, I-I’m ready."
No I was not. I don’t know why people still play this god-forsaken game. I don’t know WHY she wants to play this game. It’s just full of awful people that say nasty things.
I got an invite from Myung’s account, and I joined her lobby.
"What game mode should we play?"
"W-We just play for fun--"
"Let’s play ranked."
Oh my god. She clicked on ranked, and the match started up. My heart was pounding out of my chest. My hands became all numb, and I was all light-headed.
"I’m so close to ranking up to emerald, and since you’re here, I think I can finally make it."
Oh almighty God, please help me.
***
"Fuck!!"
"What the hell is my fucking team doing!?!?"
Not even ten minutes in the rank match, and Myung is already raging.
"Why the hell is there yone so good!?!? This is fucking bullshit!!"
I was playing as best as I could. Trying to farm XP so I can get my skills while the only thing I hear is Myung yelling.
"Myung, p-please calm down; we are in a pc bang, and people are looking at us.
BANG.
"FUCK THIS GAME!!!"
Myung banged her hand on the desk with rage; it probably has a crack on it now.
"M-Ma’am," one of the workers came up to Myung. "Please don’t bang on the desk, and also please be quieter too.
"HUH?!? Can’t you see that I’m in the most intense rank match of my life right now?!?!"
"I can see that, but ma’am..."
"Yes, yes, yes, I’ll be quieter now. Please leave me alone; I’m trying to win here."
Myung shooed off the lady, and I quietly apologized to her as she walked away.
"Park, you and I, let’s go down the lane and kill the Yone."
"O-Okay"
I followed Myung’s game character to the lanes, and I saw the Yone killing the NPC. The Yone looked really skillful, and they also had a cool skin.
"Let’s get his ass, Park."
It was a fight of patience; all three of us were killing each other’s NPC, trying to see who would make the first move. My main is Yone, so I do know his character pretty well. But suddenly Yone made the first move.
"I got him."
"W-Wait, Myung, not yet."
"Wha--"
The Yone instantly appeared in front of Myung’s character and stunned her. The Yone easily put her in a combo and killed her.
"Shit! How the fuck did he kill me!!?"
Myung died; it was a 1v1 between The Yone and me. The character I’m playing is a tank named Darisu. Honestly, I don’t play tank at all, so this fight is one-sided.
I sat on the left.
My headphones covered my ears, and my eyes were locked onto the screen. His champion stood in the middle of the lane; my character rested his massive axe across his shoulder.
Across from me, The Yone leaned forward and was also probably forcing too. His champion stood opposite.
The two of us stared each other down on the battlefield. Neither player moved. For several seconds, there was only silence.
Then the Yone was taunting me in-game.
"What’s wrong?" he said. "You scared?" In text chat.
I ignored it and didn’t look away from the screen. I tightened my grip on the mouse.
"I’m waiting for you to make a mistake." I said to myself.
Yone moved first. His blade flashed.
DASH.
I barely moved out of the way as Yone’s attack tore through the air where his champion had been standing.
Yone struck again.
And again.
His movements were fast—almost impossible to follow. His sword sliced through the air in a blur of steel and purple energy.
My character’s health began to fall.
"Okay."
I leaned closer to the screens and stepped backward. The Yone chased me. The health bar above my character continued dropping.
58%. 49%. 41%.
I kept retreating. Yone kept attacking.
To the other guy, it looked like the fight was already over.
But no.
My fingers moved across the keyboard.
"Yes, I finally got him."
I quickly turned around, facing Yone head-on. He tried to retreat, but it was too late.
My character’s axe swung in a massive arc.
CRACK!
The blade struck Yone.
His health dropped sharply.
I attacked again.
BOOM!
Another hit landed. Yone’s health was now dangerously low. The Yone tried to run away from me. Yone dashed backward, attempting to escape.
"No. You’re not getting away."
I chased him. Yone turned and unleashed another attack. The blade connected.
My health dropped to almost nothing. For a moment, both champions stood nearly dead.
"One hit." I muttered
Neither of us moved. The two champions slowly circled each other.
Then—
Yone attacked.
He lunged forward with everything he had. I reacted instantly. I stepped to the side. Yone’s blade missed.
"There."
I grabbed the Yone, and the champion pulled him into range.
The axe came down.
CRITICAL STRIKE — 460 DAMAGE!
Yone’s health bar disappeared. The screen exploded with effects.
YOU HAVE SLAIN AN ENEMY!
For several seconds, I didn’t say anything. I leaned back on my chair and sighed in relief
Right next to me, Myung was watching me fight. Her mouth hung open.
"You..."
I removed one side of his headset.
"Yeah?"
She stared at the screen.
"You...You killed him."
"Y-Yeah, it wasn’t easy."
Her mouth was still wide open.
"You are so good, Park; how are you so good at League of Legends?"
I just slightly laughed.
"Never mind that; let’s go finish the game."
"Yes."
The ranked match counted as we walked down the lane and pushed to the enemy spawn.
***
VICTORY.
"Y-YES!!! We did it, Park, we won."
Myung got out of her chair and hugged me, pressing her cheek against mine.
"hehe...Calm down; we are still in public."
After she stopped hugging me, she hopped back on her computer.
"Let’s see where this asshole is from.
"Huh? It says that they are at this pc bang."
"What?"
"Ohoho, I’m going to talk so much shit to this asshole."
She got up out of her chair and hurried to the desk where the person playing youn is at. I tried to stop her, but it was too late. She approached the desk.
"Hey! Asshol--"
She stopped herself before noticing who was behind the screen. The person who was giving Myung a hard time wasn’t who she expected to be at all.
I followed up behind her.
The person moved, took off their headset and looked towards Myung.
"A-A girl," I said.
She had black hair with pink hair dye in the style of twintails.
With a cold gaze, she stared at Myung, which made her gulp.
"What do you want?" She said coldly.
The player behind Yone was a girl.
