《Smiling Chaos》Chapter 36
Advertisement
He proceeded to read his article and he could tell Jung was a little annoyed. He could try make him feel better by saying that his food is the best in the world and that he only wanted to eat what he cooks but then again Jung looks adorable when he is angry
" Don't make jokes like that", Jung spoke sounding serious. He really doesn't like being called jealous. He might be jealous but don't outright label him that. When San said it ,it had a little brotherly touch to it so it was just okay. But everyone else says it just makes him a little edgy. Reason being that someone once accused Jung of spending too much time with Doyoung and Sakura being jealous. So saying that Jung is jealous kind of reminds him that Sakura was probably spending time with someone else, while their texts were getting shorter they were getting longer with someone else.
" It's not a joke", Doyoung lied. He knows that Jung has been a little sentimental over the past days because of Sakura. He didn't even bother calling her to ask her about this and frankly he doesn't want to have to hear her excuses. Her behavior is just like a whole reason that always makes him slam back the phone on the table when ever he wants to dial her up
"I kinda deserve this , right?", Jung whispered but Doyoung heard him and it's obvious that the tears were welling up his eyes. He feels like it's his fault but he doesn't really know that is true.
Jung chuckled minutely at the sound of his breaking heart. The wound is still raw and it feels like it's getting worse every single day because he really doesn't know how to stop thinking about this. The only thing that keeps flashing is Sakura s priceless smile and her sweet laughter. All things great about her and it annoys him that an angel like this has the potential to bring so much pain. The worst part is Jung doesn't know where it all went wrong.
He walked back to the chopping board. As he picked up the knife and was slicing, whenever the knife touched the board, he would convince himself over and over again, that he will be fine, that it will pass. But a large part of him knew it was just wishful thinking...
****
A knock came on the door and SeongHwa stood up from the sofa and he walked to the door. It's obvious that he is expecting a guest even at this hour.
He was wearing grey track pants , a red jersey and some white socks. He looked like he was watching movies but infact he is buried to his throat in large textbooks and question banks.

He pulled the lever of the door and he opened the door
His visitor had his hair straight and it was cut so strategically like he was going to pitch for the president.
His clothes were so clean. He was wearing a light blue slightly oversized sweater, medium-fit black pants and light green to white sneakers.. all of which looked like they had just left the washing machine
He also smelled fresh like he just exitedd a multi-million dollar bubble bath.
Be that the case, after ChanYi smiled to SeongHwa he held out a brown paper bag to Seonghwa .
The moment he did that , SeongHwa accepted it and he walked inside while he peaked inside . There were different kinds of food in there. Mostly meat, noodles and some cupcakes. And a strawberry milkshake!
Seonghwa took out the milkshake and he began to drink it whilst going to the fridge to put away the rest of the food.
ChanYi let himself into the house and as he took off his shoes, the smell of coffee was already in the room. The stronger the smell, the longer SeongHwa has been studying.
SeongHwa lives in the conjoined dorms where each room is an apartment,with two rooms inside.
Everything is shared in this place except the bedroom of course. The first thing to walk into would be the living room that only has a shared sitting space.
The table is positioned near the balcony . To the walls there are just small shelves for keeping things like books or potted plants. But they just turned it into a shelve for cups and kettles and basics like caffeine. Plus the fridge in the room just shows what this was meant to be. Since space is not that huge so there is not a lot to be said about it.
Going along the walls would be the doors to each of the bedrooms..
While standing by the main door, there is a space to the side and that space has two doors.A toilet and a shower.
It kind of looks like WooJin s place but this one is a bit smaller and a lot less like a regular modern apartment.
Anyway in the living room, the table was filled with human psychology books, revision papers and it seems that the beauty was already studying for next week s placement.
ChanYi went up and he proceeded to pick the scarf on the sofa.
To be honest, phsycologist do read a lot and it's not surprising when some students look like they are on fire when exam period starts.
They have to consider so may past cases ,how they were handled what they mean, different brain disorders. It's just a lot.

He took the book and he headed to SeongHwa s room which was directly ahead.
Opening the door, it really smells fresh but maybe it's the AC.The bedroom just looks like the normal dormitory rooms exclusive of the other half which belongs to the roomate. But the study table is a lot bigger and the wardrobe is next to the window than right by the door. The bed is also perpendicular instead of along to the wall .And there are also nightstand with regular shaped bed lamps that make the room very orange.
The bedding in here is all in grey and there is a low laying sofa at the foot of the bed with a low laying table. On the table there was just a few pens and an empty cup. He must have been drinking water or coffee
ChanYi tossed the scarf on the sofa and he proceeded to lay on the bed face up.
It was around ten pm. The curfew for this place is midnight or something like that but how would the security guard know that ChanYi doesn't belong here.Plus he had already spent many nights here before. So he is not worried about getting into trouble. All he needs is to rest .
He is really tired. Though his course doesn't seem like much , the single parts that he covers branch poignantly into nearly eight five percent of all the other fields of business. And he has to know all of them if he wants to pass
He pulled off the remote from the nightstand and set the temperature to moderate. The perfect recipe for slumber.
After he did that ,he already felt drowsy an at the same time SeongHwa was already entering the room to find him turning over and sleeping.
" Take off your jacket,its going to be uncomfortable", he advised him but ChanYi didn't listen. He could clearly tell that ChanYi was here to spend the night, so he didn't bother interrogating him on his actions.
SeongHwa proceeded to the bed and he looked down at him , while he sucked the milkshake.
" I have to study for a bit" he told him and he left the room immediately.
About two hours later , when SeongHwa was buried in neurobiology, the front door opened rattled and in the next second, Nah Jaemin walked into the room
He was carrying his laptop bag and he had two cups of milkshake, a vanilla and chocolate.
As he changed his shoes he noticed SeongHwa already listening to some tutial videos online. He waved at him and SeongHwa turned his attention to him.
He was still sipping on the milkshake and he arched his eyebrows while gawking at those in Jaemin s hands
Jaemin smirked and he proceeded to go and place them in the fridge...
He was really getting flustered at the fact that SeongHwa keeps noticing the brand on the cups whenever he comes home with them . Of course there are may possible places that Jaemin could have got them but the most nearest place is the school cafeteria which usually runs out of them in mid-day. So the second most likely place would the faculty of medicine cafeteria.
That faculty has two huge buildings. One comprises of lecture rooms and thre hospital simulator room. The other one is where all health science students seem to gather. it has a personalized library with all things health related and and an enormy section where they can just study and for conduciveness, there are some restaurants in the place and stores
And since there are not a lot of customers going to that building except med students so it's possible to find some milkshakes at this hour. And the question would be why would Jaemin go all the way to the faculty just for two cups of milkshake.
The answer is simple, someone who is in that faculty got them for him and who else would be that magnanimous and can go the faculty anytime other than Dr Kim NamJoon...
These have become quite close such that when Dr Kim NamJoon is the demonstrating procedures like surturing, Jaemin would wait for him in the lobby while he edits some clips for his media project.
And today was such a day . Maybe Nam thought to reward him by buying the beverages because some of the demonstration videos that Nam uses are complied and modified by Jaemin. And this activity is really bothersome for one person but Jaemin still does it despite it consuming much of his free time. The animation,the merging of phases and adding elements like pop-ups, all of that is really exhausting
However the editing does help Jaemin practise and Nam thinks it makes his demonstration a little bit more bearable and interesting. Plus Jaemin is always pretty ecstatic when doing something for Nam.
He smiled a little as he placed the milkshake in the fridge because one of the cups had an adorable drawing of a stethoscope on the side.
The best part was that it was not branded but rather drawn by someone..

Hello, sir. Are you cashing out or leveling up?
8 610Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
8 107Returning to a New Era
“You first caught my attention when you stole the Giant’s Sovereignty. “I took note of your ability when you slew the King of Monsters. “And I found myself in awe after seeing you—” “Can you spare me the monologue? Just get me home, you tentacle porn bastard.” “…Okay.” When one leaves, one must also return; but what if the world you left was different from when you left? This is the story of a Returner’s Return to a New Era. It was Earth, but it seemed more foreign than the otherworld he returned from. I do not own the art on the cover.
