* pocket monsters

+ @ccseonho

another human invention that kenta finds particularly amazing: pokemon go.

at first, he needed a bit of a history lesson from seonho in order to understand the context behind the game; kenta initially just wanted to play because it was popular but apparently that wasn’t acceptable. to him, it was an opportunity to pretend he was the one being cool and catching monsters for once -- even if these monsters were tiny and adorable and not real, nothing like the magic ones that they have to face in this world. 

after kenta asked about it, though, seonho told him that there were other, "real" versions of the game, and showed him several clips from the animation with the promise to make him watch it when they have time.

but for now -- the focus was on the game. everybody and their mother is obsessed, and both boys wanted to get in on the action before they fall behind. of course, kenta is delighted that seonho is the one who wants to teach him how to play; anytime that he gets to hang out on his own with seonho is exciting to him since they haven’t spent as much time together as the others.

when they have some free time on a sunday evening, minhyun gives them permission to go out, with the promise that they'll only wander a little bit, stick to streets without too many crowds, and if too many people notice them then they'll head home.

"wait, wait, i see something -- it's.. oh, a bunny? i think," sure enough, the "bunny" has popped up not too far away, in front of some office building. kenta is pretty sure the pokemon isn't called 'bunny' but he's going to find out as soon as he catches it anyway.

but when he swipes his first pokeball at the thing, it seems like he's caught it -- but then the little monster pops out of the ball again, and kenta cries out, dismayed. 

"what? it broke my pokeball!" he looks up from his phone, frowning at seonho. it’s the first time he hasn’t caught something when he tried. if he looks back at his phone, he’ll see that the pokemon is still there, but he’s too busy mourning to realize. "so does that mean i lost the game..?”
