A colorful wheel spins in front of Bambam’s eyes.
It spins, spins, spins, spinny spins. He stares fixatedly at it. The edges of his visual field start to fade to black. He keeps staring. It’s been minutes.
Finally, a bloop echoes in his ears, and a familiar tune starts playing. He’s in.
“Fucking finally,” he mumbles to himself, blinking at last after an era of agony. His phone can’t handle LINE Play very well; it always takes ages to load. “Now, the hearts…”
It’s a secret to no one – even because no one ever asked – that Bambam is addicted to this kind of game. “Life simulation” and “dress up game” would be his middle names if he had had the pleasure to baptize himself upon birth. He doesn’t skip one single day of watering plants and high-fiving people, and aces every stage in the minigames. All for maximum profit, and, therefore, maximum fashion impact of his avatar.
But that’s not all that is to this kind of game, of course. Once he’s done completing the hearts mission (500 gems into the sac, cha-ching), he decides to be a sociable virtual presence for the day and talk to his LP bestie.
He taps mina_min’s avatar, and then the chat option. mina_min is still wearing the same outfit as the day before. Bambam is worried. Did she forget to log in?

As much as playing candid is not really Bambam’s thing, mina_min is really nice, has a well-dressed avatar, and must be fabulously rich, judging from the amount of extra hearts she has and the price of the presents she gives Bambam. He sometimes pushes the fuck-it button and retributes the favor with nice presents too, but they’re never as expensive as hers. Because of that, he feels an obligation to be as sweet as possible to her. So he is. It’s a strange feeling, but he’s growing used to it.
Though, if he’s to be sincere… it’s kind of refreshing, to be able to act cute to someone. Most people who know Bambam in real life know he’s a hard bitch, so few people would treat him with much consideration if he started acting cute. Not even his closest friends. No, out of all people, most definitely not his closest friends. Maybe that’s why he legitimately likes mina_min. She’s sort of a new type of presence on his life.
All of sudden, as if striken by lightning, he has an idea.
It’s… not his best idea, he must admit, but it’s not entirely terrible. They’re close enough for that, right? And Bambam knows some krav maga, some basic self-defense… he has a pair of brass knuckles here somewhere. What could go wrong?
He chooses not to answer his own question, and smashes the fuck-it button with all his might.
능구렁이: or mayb…….. wanna meet irl someday? 능구렁이: like at a real cafe or smth. sorry if its weird lol 능구렁이 sent an action sticker: 😁
Well, there. He sent it; it is sent. Now, all he can do is to clean some rooms and wait for the answer.
