《Please Stay[Stray Kids × Reader]》[Chapter 14] Memorable
Advertisement
Today was a holiday. A rest day from work and school. I stared at the ceiling, my body didn't want to move. It was currently 7 AM and it was a quiet morning. In the midst of the silence, my stomach grumbled loudly.
"But I ate so much last night" I sighed. My stomach grumbled again but this time it was louder.
"Fiiineeeee" I dragged myself out of my bed and to the kitchen. They weren't awake yet so I tried to be as quiet as possible. When I opened the fridge, there was nothing but the leftovers from last night and bottles of water.
"Who's up?" A voice came from behind. It was Hyunjin. He wore a pink bunny cotton hairband, and black long sleeves. While combing his ginger colored hair with his fingers, he yawned.
"The Duplicate" I replied. I recieved a small laugh as a response.
"Want to go to the grocery shop with me?" I asked him as I closed the fridge, holding the leftover meat.
"Sure but--" his sentence was interrupted by the growling of his stomach.
"Yeah, let's eat first" I got two plates and placed them on the table.

"Why can't we just order delivery food?" He placed his hands in the pockets of his pants.
"Homemade is better" I patted his shoulder then walked inside. We got two baskets, one for each, and walked around. The first part we went to was the fruits section.
I picked up an orange and told Hyunjin, "Orange you having fun?" I smiled, twisting my wrist with the orange in my hand. He shot me a Are you serious? look in return.
He moved his head around as if he were looking for something then finally got a pear that was beside us.

"These fruits make a Pear-fect match don't you think?" He took the orange from my hand and shook both of the fruits in his hands. I sighed with cringe then continued walking.
"Let's get meat Beef-fore we get spices" I got a pack of meat and placed it in the basket I had. He sighed, the placed his palm on his face.
While I looked for salt, I noticed that Hyunjin lagged behind.
"Yo, What's taking you so long?" I called for him. He came running towards me saying, "I'm , I'm cumin!" Holding out a small glass bottle container of cumin powder, he smiled proudly. I just shook my head.
We walked around to get more groceries then payed afterwards. Hyunjin carried three big paperbags while I held a medium sized one.
While on our way home, Hyunjin stopped in front of a shop. His eyes seemed to be glued on to something behind the glass window.
"Something wrong?" I patted his shoulder but his attention didn't move.
"Could you wait for a while?" He placed the paperbags on a nearby bench, below a tree, then walked towards the shop.
I waited for him for about 5 minutes and he came back with a small black gift bag.
"What's that for?" I asked him, standing up from the bench. He smiled brightly before getting the thing inside the bag.
"Stand still" He said, leaning closer with his hands approaching my face.
"Knew it, it looks good" His eyes formed smiles as he held a chain earring with a moon at the end near my ear.
"Earrings?" I asked him.
"Since you probably lost a lot of important things that had memories in it (cause of the fire) , I'm giving you something memorable" He placed the earring back inside the gift bag and gave it to me.

"But how did you see the earring from afar? I mean we were like 3 meters away" I put the small gift bag inside the paperbag I was holding.
"A hat caught my eye but when I entered I thought an earring would be better." He got the bags he placed down earlier and started walking.
"How much was it?" I catched up with him. He avoided eye contact and walked a bit faster. Don't tell me it was expensive...
"How much?" I repeated but he just sighed.
"I'll pay for it" I added. He glanced at me then hesitated to say a word.
"I'm supposed to buy it for you for it to be memorable..." he pouted, not giving me eye contact. That's the reason...?
"Hahaha, dude do you really have to?" I laughed so much at his statement.
"Want it or what?" He frowned even more.
"I'll take it, I'll take it" I answered, still laughing at him.

Ars 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)

Star Gazer
When the mist rolls in, most would either head inside, or brave it's perils via familiar terrain. But what if that mist holds secrets beyond which most could comprehend, let alone traverse? Mia, unequipped as she was, found herself in that very situation, but as danger approached, another came in time to save the girl from the unknown. Luke was a victim of the mist just as she was, and the pair had now begun a journey in a world home to only one of them from which a destiny was soon to be forged. ~~~~~ Star Gazer is high fantasy adventure set in a massive world within which our maturing duo of protagonists will be challenged to uncover truths few are aware are hidden at all. Elements of LitRPG are scattered within and function more as elements of certain character's abilities to read others, rather than a progression system by which our heroes will rely on. Updates will begin daily during premier week, but will slow down to 3 times weekly until further notice. Thank you for any and all support!
