About

I logged into the game again today. As expected, I saw the guy who is always online. 'Add.' We were online friends who often exchanged stories through in-game chat and messengers. We knew where each other lived, our names, and even our ages. Then one day, he and I had our first argument on messenger. Our voices got louder and louder, and finally, out of sheer anger, I spat out a word to him. "You're someone who wouldn't be able to say a word if we met in person, yet you're making personal attacks? Why don't you say it to my face?" And for the first time, we made an appointment to meet for a 'PvP in real life.' The destination was a deserted back alley. I dressed in a fleece set boasting mobility optimized for a real-life fight and headed to the meeting place with determined steps. The moment I saw his outfit, he who had arrived there first, I was momentarily speechless. It wasn't a fighting outfit. A white shirt, a vest, black slacks... He looked like someone who knew how to dress well. And his face was... He was handsome. Enough to rival a celebrity. '...What?' As soon as he spotted me, he strode over. Then he grabbed the hood of my zip-up hoodie roughly and pushed me against the wall. For a moment, his eyes scanned me up and down. After staring at me for a while as if scanning something, he eventually withdrew his hand and took a step back. Then he looked at me as if he were dumbfounded and said, "What, you look so weak, why did you act so tough and try to pick a fight in real life?" He looked down at me while smoking a cigarette with one hand in his pocket. He was handsome, for sure. But... he didn't feel like this when we were hanging out in the game. 'Is this guy... a delinquent?' And a delinquent who looks decent on the outside but is a thug on the inside...?!!!
