《I'm An Idiot》13

"Is that Namjoon oppa?" you asked while watching the said man passionately kissing a girl. Everyone turned around to stare wide-eyed at them. All of you got out and started to approach him. Hoseok went first and tapped him on the shoulder. He turned around and looked at us totally frightened. "Uh...I can explain?" he said.
"Namjoon? Yoonji? (A/n: LOL...Min Yoonji comeback) What are you doing here?" a voice spoke from our left and we turned, only to see an angry Yoongi. "Oh! Oppa..." Yoonji started, looking like she was lost for words. "We're dating." Namjoon blurted out and clasped a hand on his mouth just after he realized what he said.
Silence.
Total silence.
The tension in the air was so thick that it could be cut through.
"Umm...I think everyone's hungry, right? Let's go and eat. Yoonji should come and join too." Jin suggested and everyone followed the lead. Yoongi had to be dragged away by Jimin and Hoseok. You and Jungkook were walking behind everyone so, you asked him, "Who is she?" he looked at you and said, "She is Yoongi hyung's sister." You made an 'O' with your lips in understanding. Now I know why he was being so protective. You thought.
Lunch was mostly awkward. You had been introduced with Yoonji. Nobody dared to speak a word and Yoongi kept glaring at Namjoon. After you all had had lunch, you decided to play some games. Everyone joined and enjoyed while Yoongi was still busy glaring at Namjoon.
Finally it was time to go home. All of you filed up into the van including Yoonji, whom you were supposed to drop off at her place. "You guys go ahead. Namjoon and I need to have some serious talk." Yoongi said while pulling back Namjoon just as he was supposed to climb inside. Fear was evident on his face while all of you passed him an assuring look.

You all drove off and Yoongi and Namjoon stood there. When your van was out of sight, Yoongi said, "Let's take a long walk back to home." Namjoon nodded and they started walking.
"So, why did you decide to date my sister when I told you that it's not allowed?" Yoongi asked and Namjoon looked at him nervously. He had thought of so many things he would've told his hyung when him and Yoonji would've announced their relationship. But now, this was not the way he imagined to answer all his questions.
"Don't be too nervous. I'm not going to beat you to death – for now that is. I just want to talk to you as a friend now. Tell me what you would've told me if Yoonji wasn't my sister." Yoongi spoke and somehow Namjoon felt relieved.
Namjoon took a deep breath and started, "So hyung, do you remember that two months ago I went on a Jeju island with some of my high school friends? I met her there. Actually she one of them. We used hangout a lot in high school. That time, I only saw her as a friend – or that's what I thought. Both of us would go on long night walks or long drives while our other friends would complain about not giving them enough attention." He chuckled at the memory. "And eventually, I made her fall for me. She confessed to me on the last day of the trip and I, of course, got excited and agreed to date her. And that's all it's been till now. We often bicker on stupid topics, sometimes they even turn into great arguments but I always manage to make up with her. And as far as I know, both of us are quite happy together."
He turned to look at Yoongi, who had a small smile tugging on his lips. "I don't know what to say actually. She always wanted to have a smart boyfriend like you who would always know what right thing to do at any given situation. I just hope you keep her happy. And also, don't break her heart otherwise you might as well know that you are not the only one who knows how to break things." Yoongi said while giving Namjoon one of his famous gummy smiles.

And just like that they reached each of their homes while chatting happily forgetting all the deathly glares that were once given.
You glared at all the people in front of you as everyone looked at you fearfully – even though everyone was older than you.
Apparently you called everyone to discuss the parties and when you told them that strippers won't be allowed, the huge group of people divided into two groups – one which was protesting against it and the other which was supporting it.
"We'll just decide by votes!" you said and everybody nodded as to not get beaten up by you. "Now, hands up if want strippers to be there." Jimin, Taehyung, Yoongi, Hoseok, Hwayoung, Minjee and Eunha put their hands up in the air. You counted them and motioned them to put their hands down. "Now hands up if you don't want them." Namjoon, Jin, Jungkook, Haeun, Jiwoo, Seoyeon and Yoonji put their hands up this. "Yah! Jungkook-ah you're supposed to support us!" Taehyung and Jimin said simultaneously while huffing. "Hyung when you've got a hot girlfriend like Y/n, you can do nothing but agree with her." Jungkook said and made the others giggle. You shot him a deadly glare and he immediately shut up.
You counted them and furrowed your eyebrows. "What happened?" Jin asked. "Well," you started. "There are equal people on both the sides. What should we do now?" "You haven't voted yet, right?" Jimin asked. "Well if you don't remember then all of this started because I said that there would be no strippers." You said and the ones who were supporting you cheered as the others sulked.
You clapped your hands to get everybody's attention once again and said, "So, now it's decided. The parties are tomorrow. The boys will be going to Revel – there would be a reservation under Jin oppa's name. And the girls will be going to 15 Feet Under. No strippers will be there and you all are allowed to drink. I've assigned drivers who will be helping us with transportation in case everybody gets drunk. Is it clear to everybody?" everybody nodded and then went back to whatever they were doing before you called them.
You went back to helping the bridesmaids choose their dresses and other stuff. All of them were going to be wearing short, light pink colored dresses and all of you decided to have a braided bun with a white flower barrette.
At night, everyone decided to have a horror movie marathon together. All of you were sprawled on either the ground or the sofa or the bean bags. Jungkook was sitting on a bean bag and when he saw you approaching the sofa, he pulled you towards him and made you sit on his lap. You blushed a bit as he started nuzzling his nose in the crook of your neck. You all decided to watch the Conjuring
Hoseok, Jin, Minjee, Yoonji and Jiwoo kept screaming at jump scares and Jimin and Taehyung kept passing them disapproving looks. You and Jungkook kept doing funny commentary and giving spoilers. Eventually, almost everyone fell asleep at around 1:30am – including you. Jungkook saw you stirring a bit in your sleep due to the uncomfortable position you were in. So, he picked you up and went into the shared bedroom.

2/17 NOTICE: I'm putting this on hiatus, possibly permanently. I didn't want to spam with an "update chapter", so hopefully here and in the story blurb will get enough eyeballs. There are a couple reasons for ending SSA for now. 1) I wrote the next chapter but wasn't happy with it. I've been less and less satisfied with SSA's quality the more I thought about it. Part of the reason is... 2) I am seriously thinking about trying to publish some novels to help pay the bills, since I don't have my other source of income anymore. I have never asked for anything from SSA readers, no money, not even a review or rating. SSA is written for fun to amuse myself, primarily, and I would kind of feel bad actually charging someone money for something as unserious as that. I don't think it is good enough to ask anything in return. To use an analogy from music, SSA is more like a jam session with a bunch of friends. You're just chiling and having fun playing some music. I mean, if you are Mozart or even Eminem, your jam session is good enough to sell, but for an amateur beginner like myself, haha, no. If I want to publish something, I feel like I need to go the proper route of practice and rehearsals, which might be more similar to a classical concert performance. With SSA, I work from worldbuilding notes and a loose outline, but what you are essentially getting is the first draft with lots of so-called pantsing. Pushing out a web novel like this also means it is very difficult to go back and improve things without breaking everything else downstream. I wanted to try this "jamming" approach, as it was a good way to teach me about another aspect of writing, but to move forward, I think I need to hone my "classical" techniques, which emphasize rewriting, or at least, revising outlines. 3) While I intend to try to make $$$, my actual current goal is to "get gud". I've spent a lot of time recently trying to understand the self-publishing industry, and I'm pretty sure I can make some money by using short-term strategies with my current amateur skill level. But I've seen too many authors come and go/burnout, and really, the only way that I think I can enjoy writing and still make money on a long-term basis is to become a better writer. And the next step for me, which I haven't done much before, is to spend more time on rewriting and outlines. That is pretty much antithetical to the way SSA is developing. I've always been kind of 20/80 plotting/pantsing, but I want to spend a lot more time outlining before I even start writing. SSA jam sessions don't really fit my goal anymore. If you're curious about what's next, read on... Among other regrets, I regret not finishing SSA. It's the first story I've dropped, but then again, it's the first web novel I've attempted, so I suppose that's not a surprise. I don't think traditional web novel formats suit me that well. The whole SSA story I had loosely planned (beyond a first book or major arc) is way too large as well. Big story = good for neverending webnovel with Patreons, bad for penniless and fickle writer like me. I am currently outlining a complete trilogy to another story in great detail. I want the story to end concisely, and I also want the chance to really spend a lot of time on the full outline to spot pacing problems, character issues, lost themes, and so on. I'll still share this story on RR. What I intend to do is finish book 1, flash-publish the whole thing here for a few weeks, then publish on the big Zon. Repeat for books 2 and 3. The upcoming story will be about crafting heroes. The backdrop is an isekai-like setting, where elves will summon humans to their world as heroes, but the whole hero crafting business is still in its infancy. The elven mage researchers are figuring out how to imbue heroes with power, while the heroes are trying to figure out how to use the powers that they gain. Humans are the best hero templates because they are blank and have no intrinsic magic. Or at least that what the elves thought. The human MC has his own secrets... There will be some similarities with litrpgs, but I would call it more a progression fantasy or gamelit story. For example, the stats are very low, at least initially. Say we have a stat called Str. Going from Str = 1 to Str = 2 is a huge deal. Also, going from Dex = 0 to Dex = 1 is an even bigger deal. I guess you could call it a "low-stat litrpg", haha. Also, the heroes won't be gaining stats simply by killing things or leveling up. You can't increase stats arbitrarily, either. There will be rules to how stats can increase, and how they work with each other. The elven mages will be figuring out these rules in order to craft stronger and stronger heroes. Some inspiration will be from cultivation magic systems, but there won't be overt cultivation, at least for now. A theme I really want to explore is the idea of interactions. That includes things like hero crafter vs hero, tactics vs strategy, skill synergies, racial interactions (dwarves, elves, etc), and son. Yeah, so hero crafting. I'm super excited about this project and venturing into publishing. If you want to check out the upcoming story, you can follow my RR author profile to see when it drops here. Finally... THANK YOU TO EVERYONE! I'm very sorry that SSA is stopping, but I hope at least some of you will find the next story at least as enjoyable, if not more. Thanks to all the readers who gave SSA a shot. Big hug or solid fistbump to all of you, whichever you prefer! I hope this message is not a downer but an upper, because I am psyched!! -purlcray -------------- BLURB: Talen, youngest Master of the Koroi, makes his way to the Empire's capital to salvage his clan's fate. But the bustling city has few opportunities for the traditionalist. For the old sword clans are fading. With the rise of alchemy, gold can purchase strength that ordinarily took years of training to cultivate. Sword artists, once rare and accomplished, are quickly growing in number, especially among the wealthy noble class. Even with such alchemy, though, no one has advanced to the rank of Grandmaster in countless years. Talen's true dream is to walk the path of a sword artist to the very end while fulfilling his clan duties. And then the Swordgeists return, fabled founders of all sword arts, gods who had touched the world long ago and vanished. These myths turned into reality warn of a coming threat. Alongside this warning, they issue an invitation to the Sword System Academy, a path to power beyond the mortal realm. But first, they will hold an entrance exam... Story notes:Sword System Academia blends elements of western and asian fantasy such as xianxia and litrpg. I took parts from different genres I enjoyed and twisted them into my own creation. There will be an explicit system, both of the litrpg kind and the hard(ish) magic kind, but it is embedded within an academic structure that will develop over the course of the story. This is my attempt to design a unique type of system, the System Academia.
