More Than a Thousand Days

Summary:

- Texting AU -

2013: Jungkook receives a text from a stranger looking to buy a nintendo 64. His name is Jimin and he is clueless about technology in a completely endearing way. Jungkook can't resist helping the poor soul.

They start a texting friendship that slowly develops into something more.

But the universe seems to work against their attempts to meet in real life.
Or maybe the universe and technology have something bigger prepared for them.

Is the nintendo 64 still for sale?

?

who's this?

I saw your ad in the neswpaper

About a nintendo 64? How retro!

It's not thaaaat old is it?

uh… well anyway, you have the wrong number

huh

well I just doubled checked and I typed it correctly
Still, I’m not selling any nintendo

I'm not saying youre lying

Maybe the guy selling made a type, or the newspaper misprinted

Maybe

Sorry

No worries

Why do you want a nintendo 64 anyway?

It looks cool?

Hipster? or just nostalgic?

Well... I just really can’t afford a newer model

… what?

… No offense, but it’s really not worth it at this point.

I'm not looking for shopping advice thank u very much

There is way better on the market now, just saying?

This guy had a pretty good deal!

For a piece of junk probably

I think you should try looking into other game consoles

okay...

like which ones

You should think about saving up for a playstation maybe.

They probably have good deals now that the new model is coming out.

I guess I could try looking for a playstation, or maybe PS1

uh… I would go for PS3, if you really can’t afford anything newer

Are you kidding me?

At this point I think I'm just gonna end up buying a sega

lol you’re funny

If you find one I’d be down for a throw back game

You have my number!

Anyway gotta go

Hey! still looking for a game console? I saw one on ebay for pretty cheap, I could send you the link

[email protected]

Cringe!

You didn’t have to. I could just copy paste it here.

I would still have to wait till i get home to the computer anyway

Aah, you don’t have data?

Do you think I drown in money?

Fair enough, that shit can get expensive.

It’s sent by the way

thanks

Park

Hey!

Jungkook right?

How do you know my name?

Your email

Ah right!

the link you sent me was broken

uh, maybe it was sold by the time you checked the link idk

Maybe

hey… how do you respond so fast?

what do you mean?

that

you type so fast

You type real slow Park, I’m average.

hey!

I'm offended

I'm doing the best I can with what I got

:P Are you maybe new to touch screens? My grandpa had trouble too at first

1: I don’t have a problem with the screen i have a problem with the keyboard

2: I'm 18. not your grandpa…

omg dude, what type of phone do you have. A blackberry or what?

no, my dads old nokia

so sad.

But I mean, at least it’s indestructible… but still, so sad.

How old are you to be talking to me that way!

28

omg i'm texting an old man!

Hey! what do you mean old man? you're just a child.

At least this old man knows more about new tech than you apparently.

ok... I admit I'm slow to get new tech…

TBH you should invest in a smart phone, not a game console

well okay.

what phone would be a smart choice then?

an iPhone maybe, idk kid.

thanks i'll look into it

Park Jimin

All the links were broken!

Im just a poor student

so what do you do?

I’m finishing my bachelor in computer sciences.

Cool. Arent you a little old for that?

Yeah, I had to take a break for a couple of years.

Are you also at SNU by any chance?

yes…

haha wha if we have passed by each other without even knowing.

I bet you’re the guy who dropped his tray in the cafeteria yesterday

Nah

But I could see that happening

we should meet some time, at uni.
