BTS HYYH Notes (Book 1, 2, BUS Game) // COMPLETE [Part 2]

2022, Aug 7 - Hoseok (Afraid Of Jungkook)

[Place: PC room (in Korean, they called it PC bang, bang is room)]

After the meeting at the classroom, we had not heard from Seokjin hyung. Songju was seething with the talk of the redevelopment plan, and it was the same with me and Namjoon.

"Are they going to go ahead with it? Have you heard anything else?" I asked Namjoon after hearing about the eviction notice, but he didn't have anything to tell me.

Knowing the state we were in, Yoongi hyung, Taehyung, and Jimin texted us from time to time, beating around the bush and asking if we were doing okay. According to Jungkook's friends who dropped by the burger joint, he practically lived at a PC room. But I thought they got it wrong. The Jungkook that I knew would frequent a PC room, but would not get addicted to it.

However, I saw him walking into a PC room a couple of days later. I wasn't thinking about checking on him. It was the first time seeing him after that day, and I hadn't even got a chance to talk to him much when we had met together in that classroom.

Top Place PC Room was on the 5th floor. There was no elevator. I walked up with my leg still in a cast. Inside, the people with headsets on were all staring at their monitors under the dim lights. Some were snacking and watching a drama or movie, but most of them were playing computer games. They were talking into the mic and clicking fast with a mouse.

I heard them say, "Kill him! Kill him!"

"Don't lose him!"

Glacing at the rows of chairs, I walked all the way to the farthest chairs from the entrance. From behind, I saw someone in a leather chair. He was playing a shooting game. Pressing the keyboard with his left hand, he was clicking the mouse like mad with his right hand. Every time his character moved, the monitor screen changed color.

I lowered my head to get a better look at him. The light changed from blue to red as it shone on the player's face. After staring for a while, I realized it was Jungkook. With a headset on, Jungkook kept his eyes glued to the monitor.

He didn't hesitate as he shot down the characters in the game. He killed as if he had been planning on shooting them one by one. He cussed or sneered at them. He was so focused that he didn't know that I was there.

I couldn't call him. I just looked at his monitor. Jungkook was gunning down the characters as if to pour out his rage. WIN showed up on the screen, and the game ended. The screen turned black. The black screen reflected Jungkook's face. His eyes looked vacant. I was also reflected on the screen, but Jungkook did not noticed. As if he was trapped in his world.

I was about to tap his shoulder but stopped. What had happened to him? I became afraid.
