“You heard?” A random but also pretty popular gossip girl easily slipped into Alexander’s clique, talking to the only girl she knew. “Principal got that genius freak in our year to programme a game. Due to a lack of ideas, he created a private server with all the exact elements of MapleStory that only our school has access to. Freaking freaky genius.”
“Oh my gosh, seriously?” The girl who was being talked to widened her eyes, shaking her head in disbelief. “No. Way.”
“It’s true. It’s to facilitate bonding within our school in a fun way, apparently. It’s been out for a few days so I’m surprised you haven’t heard.”
“Might that genius be Kevin Woo?” Alexander piped in, more to having a new gossip girl in his friends list than being really interested in this game server thing. MapleStory was so…last decade, or whenever it was released.
“I think so…” The girl frowned slightly as if trying to recall, before shrugging. “I only know that genius is also involved in some study buddy weird thing. Whatever, I suggest you guys go check it out, because my friend created a gossip club in it too. Super cool, and we can even ask around in a character’s disguise to find out dark secrets by acting nice. I swear this is a good game.”
“I’ll be joining.” A voice squeaked.
“Me too!”
“Yeah!”
Alexander realised everyone was waiting for him to join. “Yeah, I will too.”

Alexander chewed on five gummy bears at the same time, frowning slightly as the flavour exploded in his mouth. Darn, this MapleStory game sure is a bother to play. It was easy to get the hang of it, but having to play such a useless game to get on the mainland to find people to gossip with was hard.
There wasn’t even many people. Those characters he saw definitely belong to losers, with no life. Their user ID was horrible, awful, and basically everything with a negative connotation.
Him? Oh, he created a girl character to disguise himself and make himself seem vulnerable. If there was anything he needed, he could just cry and whine, and the other person in the game might just be stupid enough to give in.
He was MissValentine online, something that sounded sweet and lovely. Or at least, something he thought that sounded sweet and lovely. Guys would fall for that, girls would shrug it off as another name. It was all good.
“Hello” A character smiled and jumped twice behind MissValentine. His name was MrSoccer, which basically meant he was a man who loved soccer, and was either in the soccer team’s fanclub (which consisted of girls) or in the soccer team (which consisted of boys).
Obviously, he was in the soccer team.
“Hey~!” Alexander made sure his character showed the same enthusiasm, holding the space bar (to jump) while smiling back. “What’s up?”
“Nothing, just wanted to make friends.” MrSoccer jumped around some more, before deciding to kill some annoying blue snail that kept attacking him. “Which year are you in?”
“Third year, one more to graduate~! You?” Alexander sighed. This was so boring.
“Same. Can’t believe I’m so awful at talking to girls I had to resort to this though. Haha!”
Alexander obviously wasn’t amused. Resort to this? Did that soccer guy just said he was the unwanted choice? What? So much for acting friendly. Fine, he’d just play along for now.
“Aww, but you must be in the soccer school team, no? Don’t you popular guys have many girls liking you?” Alexander rolled his eyes, giving a coquettish pout that was available. He had to say, those faces did look quite adorable. Remembering he had to level up before it was possible for him to leave to the mainland, he killed some more annoying snails.
MrSoccer followed his avatar, as if interested. “Wow, you’re good. Yeah, I’m in the soccer team actually, but because I’m not the main attacker nor defender, I’m as unknown as half the students in school. Besides, it’s relatively difficult for me to actually sit down to talk to a girl because-”
Alexander laughed. He really did. Apparently, MrSoccer was too busy introducing himself that he died because of the numerous snails attacking him.
“Damn. I died.”
“See you later!” MissValentine gave a bright smile, and Alexander decided maybe it’s all right to add this guy on his friends list.

Kevin frowned in concentration, rearranging the codes and checking. He cannot do a proper renovation despite the problems since there were about ten students online. After the teacher-in-charge announces it on Wednesday, there would probably be more students using so he would have to quickly solve these problems without ruining whatever the students online were doing.
Deciding to try the codes on a dummy application, he typed quickly and retyped the error codes.
“What are you doing?” Soohyun asked, before quickly covering his eyes. “Ahhh! So many numbers and alphabets!”
“These are codes that the computer recognises. It’s pretty easy if you learn it from the basics, but if you tried to jump in from out of nowhere, you wouldn’t get it.” Kevin explained distractedly, previewing his edits.
“Oh, that’s the game I heard.” Kibum then took his seat beside Kevin, leaning over the younger’s shoulder in interest. “Something wrong with the system?”
“Some bug probably.” Kevin pressed his lips into a thin line before clapping his hands. “A bug! Some idiot must have tried to crash my system!”
Kibum blinked when he felt Kevin hug him tightly, thanking him profusely for pointing out the problem and then quickly getting back to work.
Soohyun eyed the two of them weirdly, before laughing as if understanding something Kibum didn’t. When Kibum tried to probe for an answer, Soohyun just waved it away and pointed at their worksheets. “Do your worksheets.”
Kibum grumbled silently, doing as he was told.
