Internet Love Affair (JJK Valentine's Day Special)

2:22 am - 180203

You rolled over to the side of the bed, your arm hanging off the edge. You groaned, looking at the pile of papers on the tabs and the tabs still open on your laptop. You still had a lot of work to do, and it was already early Sunday morning. Heck, you didn't even chat with anyone the whole day yesterday. The closest you got to a chat was sending Jungkook an apology message.

You groaned again. 

Great. It was almost 2:30 in the morning and your tummy was rumbling. 

You took your phone and used it to give you some light as you made your way down the stairs and into the kitchen. You filled a kettle up and switched on the stove. While the water was boiling, you rummaged through the cupboards for some instant noodles.

Shoot.

There wasn't any.

You reached out and grabbed an open packet of noodles. Maybe you should cook this instead? You weren't in the mood to make some soup for the noodles so you put the noodles back on the counter where Mom left it.

The kettle whistled. You settled for making a cup of hot chocolate and dumped a handful of mini marshmallows into the mug. You washed the mug and went back up.

You sat back down at your desk fully intending on continuing your research for your paper. When you logged into the chat website, you lost all resolve to do homework.

Oh, Jungkook left a message.

Your laptop let out a beep. It was Jungkook.

meplus and mr kookie are online.

meplus: hi grand-oppa

mr kookie: hey, child

meplus: sorry about yesterday

mr kookie: it's no big deal
                        what happened tho?

meplus: my brother caught me chatting with u

mr kookie: that's all?

meplus: yes

mr kookie: it sounds like u r trying to keep me a secret
                        why?
                        did u tell min-jun hyung that i'm ur boyfriend for valentine's? ;)

meplus: hehehe no way
                  grand-oppa's way too old for me ;)

mr kookie: sure

meplus: ;)

                        i forgot for a second there ;)

meplus: can't blame u cos u getting old ;)

mr kookie: i guess min-jun hyung would be like u

meplus: what do u mean

mr kookie: when u said he's ur oppa no matter what and that u would take care of him
                        sounds like he's the same
                        that's why he doesn't want u meeting strange guys on the internet

meplus: omg r u secretly friends with him or something?
                   that's exactly what he told me when he first found out that i was using this site

mr kookie: maybe ;)
                        might've played his school a couple of times since high school

meplus: u must be from a school that has a strong badminton team huh

mr kookie: we're pretty good
                        but most people don't immediately think of my school when it's badminton

meplus: since u've played my brother u r probably in the same area as me

mr kookie: take a guess

meplus: obviously u live in busan

mr kookie: u take after me, child
                        very sharp
                        ;)

meplus: HEHEHE

mr kookie: hey!

meplus: now that i think about it
                   sweaty badminton boys r everywhere ;)

mr kookie: hey, maybe those guys r ur min-jun hyung's friends
                         besides, u will never know it's me
