Chapter 96- Playing Games
Jin-woo glanced away from Mai-sun, and after staring at his second-half-eaten sandwich for a moment he took a bite, but not before saying.
"She's the only one in the world who can create a cure, she's safe so long as that's the case."
Upon hearing that, Mai-sun's expression flickered before she asked softly.
"So, you're saying there's a chance of her being in danger after she creates a cure?"
"Damn, she's sharp."
Seong suddenly commented from the side.
Jin-woo didn't respond to Mai-sun as he was too busy eating his sandwich.
However, to Mai-sun, it looked like he was using this as an excuse to not answer the question.
Indeed, Jin-woo deliberately chose to not answer and remained silent on the matter.
This silence persisted with the only sound coming from the female anchor who was continuing to report on the reactions of the countries overseas to the virus.
But Jin-woo was momentarily unable to focus on her and was instead reflecting on the current situation. He had created a temporary safe haven in the midst of a storm, but when they eventually leave, they would be confronted with everything they had been shielded from.
Though Jin-woo felt he was exempt from this as he knew more than what the others and even this female news anchor did. But it was because of this that he was sometimes forced to remain silent when faced with inquiries.
First, it was Seo-joon, now it was Mai-sun, but as time goes on the number will only increase more and more.
As the storm raged outside, in this silent safe-heaven, Jin-woo's silence might be even louder.
"Jin! Do you want to play?"
A voice suddenly interrupted Jin-woo's thoughts and he looked up to see Jeon-sok and a few youths. They approached and explained they were looking for more people to play video games with, and when they saw him with a phone, they decided to have him join.
"Sure, but I might not have the game on my phone."
"No problem, no problem, you can download it for free on Steam."
The person leading this group of youths and more eager to have Jin-woo join was Jeon-sok.
Jin-woo looked at him and tilted his head.
"Steam? What's that?"
Jeon-sok upon hearing this froze, and he couldn't help but look at Jin-woo with a blank expression. The other youths gave Jin-woo similar looks as well.
Without a word, Jeon-sok took Jin-woo's phone to create a Steam account and download the game they were playing. Simultaneously, he explained that Steam was essentially an online store where people could freely download or buy video games.
"The game we're playing is sort of like CS, but with crappy graphics."
Jeon-sok said as he handed the phone back to Jin-woo.
"CS?"
"It means counter strike, have you never heard of it before?"
Jin-woo shook his head.
"Boss Jin, don't you play games?"
When the twenty minutes were finally up, everyone looked at Jin-woo's stats in mute silence.
First place: Jin_101
Kills: 34
Headshots: 34
Second Place: Jeon69
Kills: 12
Headshots: 2
They especially looked at the kills-to-headshot ratio when compared to Jeon-sok who was in second place, and they couldn't help but have their eyes shine when they turn to stare at Jin-woo.
Jeon-sok reacted quickly and organized another team match against online players where he devised a strategy with Jin-woo as the center.
To put the plan simply, they just stand back and send Jin-woo to wreak havoc on the enemy. After he was killed, they would step through his trail of destruction to avenge him.
This plan worked effectively, and everyone decided to shift the games from unrated to rated so they could increase their ranks.
After their sixth rated-game winning streak, Jeon-sok couldn't help but flung his head back and let out a peal of maniacal laughter.
He might have lost it for a moment as he slapped Jin-woo on his left shoulder and said.
"Jin, you need to keep this up. Our lives depend on it!"
Jin-woo looked at Jeon-sok and saw his intense gaze, he paused and then forced a smile. He didn't get it but still nodded. However, Jeon-sok's hit caused a slight flare-up in his shoulder injury, and he winced before rolling his shoulder.
"Oh, sorry."
Jeon-sok finally snapped out of it when he saw this, but his friends upon seeing Jin-woo rubbing his shoulders almost fainted.
A youth next to Jeon-sok slapped him over his head and raged.
"Idiot, if you injure Boss Jin, how is he going to carry- I mean support us?"
"It was an accident; I didn't mean it."
Jeon-sok rubbed his head and turned to give Jin-woo an apologetic look.
However, Jin-woo smiled and said.
"I'm fine, I can still play."
Jeon-sok and the others got excited when they heard that, but just as they were about to start up another team match, a voice was suddenly heard saying.
"How about playing against us?"
Jin-woo and the others turned to the voice, only to see Ye-jun walking over with eight or so other students from Class 1A following behind him.
"What kind of game is he trying to play now?"
Seong immediately said while glaring at Ye-jun.
Jin-woo also looked at Ye-jun with a frown and given the expressions on Jeon-sok and the other seven youths' faces, he and Seong weren't the only ones who didn't welcome these people's presence.
