《LOVENEMIES [END]》6 - Sumber Kebahagiaan Myungsoo
Advertisement
Kepala Sekolah Bae berpikir, frekuensi Bae Sooji dalam membuat masalah tidaklah kecil karena banyaknya waktu luang.
Gadis kecil itu perlu menemukan sesuatu untuk menghabiskan waktu luangnya.
Untuk saat ini, Sooji tidak memiliki masalah dengan perbaikan pelajaran terkait bidang akademik. Ayahnya mampu mengajarinya sendiri.
"Bagaimana dengan sesuatu yang lebih aktif secara fisik? Seperti menari, berenang atau taekwondo?" Nyonya Bae berdiskusi dengan suaminya malam itu.
"Taekwondo jelas tidak bisa menjadi pilihan. Anak itu sudah mengintimidasi teman sekelasnya. Membiarkannya belajar taekwondo akan mengundang bencana besar. " Kepala Sekolah Bae tidak ingin putrinya melakukan kegiatan yang berpotensi memicu kekerasan.
Sepulang sekolah, Kepala Sekolah Bae dengan santai berjalan melewati area di depan pintu masuk sekolah, mengumpulkan sejumlah selebaran. Setelah beberapa kali berkonsultasi dengan Sooji, mereka akhirnya memilih seluncur es.
Hari itu, Sooji tidak langsung pulang sepulang sekolah. Sebagai gantinya, dia menunggu bus di gerbang sekolah dengan ayahnya.
Bae Sooji, yang membawa ransel kecil, sibuk melihat-lihat sebelum tiba-tiba berteriak ke arah tertentu,"Kim Myungsoo!"
Melihat bahwa itu adalah Sooji, Nyonya Kim dengan senang hati berjalan kearah mereka. Nyonya Kim tahu bahwa Sooji tinggal di akomodasi yang disediakan oleh sekolah karena ayahnya adalah seorang Kepala Sekolah. Melihat bagaimana mereka menunggu bus, Nyonya Kim langsung tahu bahwa mereka tidak akan pulang. Karena itu, dia bertanya,"Kalian mau pergi ke mana?"
"Aku mendaftarkannya ke kelas tambahan."
"Kelas seperti apa?"
"Seluncur es."
"Bagaimana kelas seluncur es itu? Apakah menyenangkan?"
"Dia belum pergi. Hari ini adalah pelajaran pertama. Kami berniat untuk mencobanya dulu. Apa kau ingin membawa Myungsoo untuk mencobanya? Kalian bisa mencobanya secara gratis."
Nyonya Kim berpikir bahwa ini adalah sesuatu yang cukup baru. Dia menatap putranya dan bertanya,"Apa kau ingin mencobanya?"
Myungsoo sontak menggelengkan kepalanya.
Setelah terus membujuk dan membujuk, Nyonya Kim akhirnya membuat putranya dengan enggan menganggukkan kepalanya. Nyonya Kim tidak ingin menyesali keputusan ini dan dengan senang hati menyeret Myungsoo ke dalam mobil.

Bae Sooji dan ayahnya beruntung bisa mendapatkan tumpangan.
Myungsoo menepati kata-katanya. Bocah itu mengatakan bahwa ia hanya mampir dan melihat-lihat. Dia dengan santai duduk di bangku plastik di dekat gelanggang es di dalam ruangan, tingkah lakunya seperti seorang polisi yang sedang mengawasi keadaan.
Pelatih membawa perlengkapan seluncur dan mengundangnya untuk mencobanya, namun Myungsoo hanya menggelengkan kepalanya.
Nyonya Kim merasa kepalanya sakit melihat tingkah putranya. "Dia sangat benci berolahraga. Huh, anakku ini. Dia masih muda tapi sangat berkemauan keras. Aku mungkin adalah ibunya tetapi aku masih tidak bisa meyakinkannya."
Setelah berganti sepatu roda, Sooji mengikuti ayahnya ke gelanggang es. Ya, benar. Kepala Sekolah Bae juga tahu cara berseluncur.
Setelah itu, Ayah Sooji menyerahkan Sooji ke pelatih dan dengan riang meluncur pergi.
Untuk setiap anak yang baru belajar berseluncur, langkah pertama adalah jatuh. Sooji baru saja bergerak di bawah bimbingan pelatih saat dia jatuh di atas es.
Duduk di luar, bibir Myungsoo melengkung ke atas.
Sooji tidak menangis. Dia bangkit dan terus berseluncur sebelum akhirnya jatuh lagi dengan bunyi yang cukup keras.
Myungsoo kecil diam-diam tertawa, matanya kini berkilau.
Sooji terus jatuh sementara Myungsoo terus tertawa. Dia bahkan tidak bisa menahan dirinya untuk tidak bertepuk tangan.
Nyonya Kim menghelas napasnya putus asa. "Dasar anak nakal! Kau seharusnya tidak melakukan itu!"
Bagaimanapun, hal ini membuat minat Myungsoo terhadap olahraga seluncur es meningkat dengan pesat. Dia jadi ingin mencobanya.
Myungsoo akhirnya mengganti sepatunya dengan sepatu roda lalu melangkah ke arena. Namun, baru saja bocah itu melangkahkan langkah pertamanya, ia langsung terjatuh.
Kali ini, Sooji yang menertawakannya.
Jika bukan karena ekspresi Sooji, Myungsoo mungkin akan menemukan kegiatan ini melelahkan dan menyerah setelah beberapa kali jatuh. Namun, Sooji dengan menjengkelkannya masih menertawainya. Dengan sedikit kesal, Myungsoo bangkit kembali dan lanjut berseluncur. Dia mendengarkan instruksi pelatih sambil perlahan-lahan memahami bagaimana cara berseluncur. Perlahan-lahan, dia akhirnya benar-benar bisa menahan dirinya untuk tidak jatuh.

Setelah itu, Myungsoo dengan santai meluncur melewati Sooji. Meskipun gerakannya tidak lancar, bocah itu tetap tenang. Myungsoo layak mendapatkan nilai penuh dengan gerakannya tersebut meskipun dia masih bias dikategorikan sebagai seorang pemula.
"Eh?" Sooji sedikit kagum.
Myungsoo menggenggam tangannya sendiri di belakang punggungnya, meninggalkan Sooji sambil tersenyum meremehkan.
"Bagaimana kau melakukannya?" Sooji berusaha mengejarnya, namun ia kembali terjatuh, membuat dia mengaduh kesakitan.
Myungsoo terus berseluncur dan tersenyum. Namun, dia tidak berani mengekspresikan kegembiraannya terlalu jelas. Bisa celaka kalau Sooji sampai tersinggung.
Kepala Sekolah Bae sedang asik meluncur melewati pelatih. Pria itu mendengar sang pelatih berujar.
"Anak itu punya bakat untuk ini."
Kepala Sekolah Bae cukup senang mendengarnya. "Apa maksudmu anakku?"
"Tidak, aku berbicara tentang bocah itu." Pelatih mengangkat dagunya dan memandang Myungsoo.
"Bagaimana dengan anakku?" Kepala Sekolah Bae bertanya lagi karena tidak puas dengan jawaban sang pelatih.
Pria itu merenung sejenak, mencoba memikirkan kata apa yang cocok untuk menggambarkan Sooji. "Kokoh, tahan jatuh."
Kepala Sekolah Bae sangat tersinggung. "Maksudmu dia seperti Nokia yang meskipun jatuh berkali-kali tapi tetap tahan banting?"

A Virtual Invasion
An invasion from another dimension is shut down by an Empire's traitor and the world has a scant few decades to build the strength to resist a multidimensional Empire. How will the world fair when no one even knows its doom is one barred gate away? Fortunately, the traitor has a plan. Maybe with a bit of luck and planning, he can build a force to defend the world without anyone realizing it. Author's Thoughts: What is litRPG (From wikipedia) - LitRPG, short for Literary Role Playing Game, is a literary genre combining the conventions of MMORPGs with science-fiction fantasy novels.[1] LitRPG is a literary genre where games or game-like challenges form an essential part of the story. A LitRPG work simultaneously narrates the story of characters inside and outside of the game-world. At least some of the characters in a LitRPG novel therefore understand that they are playing a game: they are 'meta-aware'. So, while Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is a fantasy novel, a book about people creating avatars and interacting in a Lord of the Rings MMORPG would be a LitRPG novel.Why do I read them? You know, I am not too sure. I love MMOs. I played them, quit them, joined up and repeated the cycle. They are fun! They are a massive waste of time but so are most games. Do I want to read about someone else playing them? Sort of?The advent of VR and the possibility of VR someday becoming so immersive that you can't tell them from reality sets the imagination on fire. What if this could be life? But most stories fall short. At the end of the day the protagonist hangs up his VR helmet and goes to have dinner with his mom and dad or other family and it becomes meaningless. It's like the story that ends because the main character woke up and nothing you read matters.There have been some books that explore the concept of the intersection of reality and total immersion VR. Enders Game is a classic. There were a few others that escape me but they exist, however, the cross between the game and reality is weak.So what if the game was real? The technology needed for total immersion VR is so advanced that by the time we reach that goal technology should have naturally evolved to include several items. You must have direct neural input. You simply can't have a total immersion (all senses and perfect presence) experience without this basic prerequisite. If you have direct neural access, you can probably do neat things like feed knowledge and skills directly to that person. You can undoubtedly do many horrible things as well. Muscles are controlled by the brain. If you control the brain why would you let the body just sit there and rot? A person that sits unmoving for 24 hours a day will have their body whither away just like a coma patient. However, if you control the brain you could control the muscles. On a basic level, this would be isometric impulses, working muscle group against muscle group to avoid atrophy. Taken to its logical conclusion you would be able to gain muscle mass and program muscle memory. The flip side is that you could remote control their body... but let's not go there. So what would people do if it were real? Well, they would probably limit and regulate it since the drawbacks are very obvious. Even if you look at the basic aspects of this you can see some negative possibilities. Look at the Sword Art Online anime. Personally, I think they missed the boat by putting a bomb in the VR helmet. Do you really need a bomb when you have direct access to the brain?So what kind of events would you need to have a situation where the obvious drawbacks haven't been explored? Maybe a society where the advancement of technology has so far outstripped the explorations of its applications that ignorance was truly bliss? Okay, so I had to put in an alien invasion to kickstart the premise, but that was just one of the possibilities.
