[DemonAngel: Hello again SK]

[contemporary: hello darling~! ^3^]

[DelusionalDemon7: So what lame game did you pick this time? Oh, you should play Blood Wrath 3! Or Ancient Halo!]

Yoo Joonghyuk's eyes scanned the chat. He didn't comment on the messages there. His most regular viewer was missing. He waited a whole minute.

[DemonAngel: SupremeKing?]

"…. It's an interactive story-based horror game."

[contemporary: AH! YOU GOT A NEW MIC! we can finally hear that sexy voice clearly!]

[DemonAngel: Oohhh, I heard this is a good one! Lots of drama! Also, nice mic.]

[DemonAngel: And @contemporary I think he's a minor so you might want to tone it down.]

[contemporary: DRAMA?! i'm in!]

[DelusionalDemon7: Psht, this game isn't that hard. At least it's got a lot of blood. Hey, try to get a bad ending!]

Yoo Joonghyuk pulled up the game, but remained hesitant. He stayed on the title screen for another minute.

Kim Dokja stumbles home at 11pm, his body sore from the attention he received at school. Work was a nightmare. Delivery nights were always hardest after a beating. He washes blood out of his hair and grime off his body as quickly as possible, uncovering the darkening bruises on his pale skin. He doesn't pay them any mind, or try to cover them up. His 'family' has seen them before, they never commented on it. His aunt, uncle, and cousins didn't care what happened to him, so Dokja didn't care either. After changing out of his work uniform he slips quietly into his closet/bedroom and puts on his earbuds. He sees SupremeKing went live just a few minutes ago. The strain of pain and anxiety that had been pulling at the corners of his eyes all day eases away.

[KimDokja: Aren't you going to press play?]

Yoo Joonghyuk glared at his monitor, silently pressing [New Game]. The opening cutscene began.

[KimDokja: I don't think I've heard of this one.]

[DemonAngel: It's like a supernatural drama. I've seen a few playthroughs but there's a lot of ending options, not just a few!]

[DelusionalDemon7: I want the goriest ending! Kill everyone! Nobody lives! Die! Die! Die!]
