Chapter Text
Watching Yoo Joonghyuk stream was fun. Not because he himself was fun--he barely talks and communicates like a normal person--but because the game he streamed the most was made by Kim Dokja.
Yoo Joonghyuk doesn't know that though. Even as he is on stream playing 'Three Ways to Survive the Apocalypse' right now. The game, otherwise known as TWSA, was writen based off of a webnovel that Kim Dokja liked (understatement of the year --author). Kim dokja had been readng that webnovel for ten years of his life, and liked it so much he made a game dedicated to the premise of the webnovel.
He was aimlessly scrolling, reading the new chapter of Han Sooyoung's novel. His eyes glanced over the words. He was a beta reader for Han Sooyoung out of spite. After all, she blatantly copied and plagarised TWSA. Kim Dokja had almost finished the chapter when the constant pinging of Yoo Joonghyuk's stream made him lift up his head. He saw a glimpse of the chat and smiled. It's time.
[commanderofseas]: don't break another console master!
[anonymous]: wait why would he break a console im a new fan
[_uriel_]: because he's going to gift items to his boyfriend!!! X3
[breakingthesky]: theyre so gay bro its obvious
[NOTACHUUNI]: captain you're so whiped for that ugly npc
Kim Dokja heard Yoo Joonghyuk grunt and said something along the lines of, "...He's not ugly." And continued like nothing happened.
[_uriel_]: AW LOOK HES DEFENDING HIS BOYFRIEND AWHHH!! ^o^
[NOTACHUUNI]: see jihye i could do that for you but you aren’t accepting my confessions
[commanderofseas]: Shut up you chuuni
[NOTACHUUNI]: I'M NOT A CHUUNI DAMMIT
[unemployedloser]: You so are
[NOTACHUUNI]: CAPTAIN HELP ME
Yoo Joonghyuk barely spared a glance at Kim Namwoon’s comment before ignoring it. He instead teleported to the 73rd Demon Realm. Yoo Joonghyuk’s character walked up to the npc Demon King of Salvation and clicked interact. 3 options appeared:
1. [Fight]
2. [Leave Alone]
3. [Gift]
Yoo Joonghyuk moved his mouse over the third option and clicked it without hesitation.
[_uriel_]: AHH ITS STARTING!! >//<
[anonymous]: is this where he allegedly breaks a console?
[unemployedloser]: Yep he moved to laptop so he won’t break another one
Yoo Joonghyuk pressed the gift button once. Then twice. Then spammed the left click so fast it sounded like it was just one singular sound. Notifications popped up on the screen with a ping.
{WARNING: YOU CANNOT MARRY THIS NPC!}
{WARNING: YOU CANNOT MARRY THIS NPC!}
{WARNING: YOU CANNOT MARRY THIS NPC!}
Yoo Joonghyuk ignored the repeated messages and kept on spamming the gift button. Kim Dokja watched with an endearing grin.
[12315]: CLICK HERE FOR FREE MONEY!
[unemployedloser]: Get out of here SCAMMER
{USER [12315] HAS BEEN KICKED OUT OF STREAM BY [_uriel_]}
[commanderofseas]: good riddance
[NOTACHUUNI]: no one will bother you jihye <3
[unemployedloser]: @NOTACHUUNI lover boy
[NOTACHUUNI]: @unemployedloser jobless
[unemployedloser]: CENSOR THAT WORD
[wet_sponge]: MY EYES ARE BURNING
[yjhsfavoriteperson]: WASUPPPP
Yoo Joonghyuk saw Han Sooyoung’s message and scowled. “Get out of here Han Sooyoung.” Kim Dokja decided to join in on the fun and logged into his StarStream account.
[Guwon]: yjh look it’s your favorite person!
[yjhsfavoriteperson]: no his favorite person is that stupid ugly npc boyfriend he has in game
[NOTACHUUNI]: Imagine trying to marry an npc
[commanderofseas]: imagine confessing 49 times
[NOTACHUUNI]: wait you counted
[yjhsfavoriteperson]: no he confessed 51 times be so fr rn
“Stop using my chat as a gossip channel.” Yoo Joonghyuk grunted, his fingers still clicking the gift button on the screen. Another ping popped up as the notifications kept coming.
[Max amount of gifts reached!]
[Max amount of gifts reached!]
[Max amount of gifts reached!]
[anonymous]: WAIT HE ALREADY MAXED OUT THE GIFTS FOR THE DAY?!
[wet_sponge]: even more of a simp than @NOTACHUUNI
[NOTACHUUNI]: IM NOT A SIMP
[breakingthesky]: rightttt I forgot you go by “yearner”
"I see you have come back."
Yoo Joonghyuk looked up, not expecting the voiceline. It was a little surprise Kim Dokja had made. Back when he was just developing the game, Han Sooyoung nagged him about making a character like him. Hence why the Demon King of Salvation has his voice and face, though both are distorted. He doesn’t know why he did that. Maybe out of disgust? Maybe out of hatred. Maybe out of whatever he feels for himself. Either way, it made the Demon King Of Salvation.
"Such a loyal companion you are."
[_uriel_]: AHHH NEW VOICELINE
[NOTACHUUNI]: since when was this here?!
[commanderofseas]: im so gonna check this out later
[yjhsfavoriteperson]: oh ho Mr. Stoic over here has his eyes so wide they look like theyre gonna pop out of his skull XD
[yjhsfavoriteperson]: SIMP (just like @NOTACHUUNI fr)
[NOTACHUUNI]: FOR THE LAST TIME IM NOT A SIMP
"I see you have come back."
Yoo Joonghyuk snapped his head up. There’s a new voiceline? Why didn’t he know about this? This wasn’t in the updates.
"Such a loyal companion you are."
Wait. Back up. Companion? Yoo Joonghyuk clicked on the interact button again.
1. [Fight]
2. [Leave Alone]
3. [Gift]
4. [Become Companions]
He could have sworn his eyes were bulging out of his head. Become companions? He immediately clicked the forth option and waited in anticipation.
“Become companions? I accept.”
Yoo Joonghyuk was so surprised he could have let out a gasp. His eyebrows twitched as he held back shooting his eyebrows up his hairline. This was new. He wasn’t complaining though. He was more than happy about this. It was the closest he would get to marrying the Demon King of Salvation, after all.
[_uriel_]: WHAT THEYRE PRACTICALLY MARRIED NOW
[yjhsfavoriteperson]: I WANNA BE THE RING BEARER
[Guwon]: Invite me to the wedding okay?
[NOTACHUUNI]: wow an npc accepts captains proposal but @commanderofseas won’t accept mine
[commanderofseas]: Chuuni
[wet_sponge]: Dammit i lost my chance with yjh
[unemployedloser]: simp 2.0
[wet_sponge]: @SupremeKing_yjh can i be the flower girl at your wedding at least
[_uriel_]: no the flower girl is his younger sister!! ദ്ദി◝ ⩊ ◜.ᐟ
[Guwon]: In Yoo Mia we trust
[anonymous]: she can share with me, right?
Yoo Joonghyuk was still in shock that he is companions with the Demon King of Salvation. Well, now it was his Demon King of Salvation.
He scrolled up to get caught up with the chat. The wedding? Marriage would be nice. With Kim Dokja though, obviously. The chat doesn’t know that though. He pondered about the idea of Yoo Mia being the flower girl. That would be nice. Maybe her friend, Shin Yoosoung would like to join as well. He didn’t know her as well as his own sister, but she comes over to his house sometimes when they have a playdate, and they have brief conversations then.
Yoo Joonghyuk looked at the time on his electric clock on his desk and saw that it was 9:00 pm. “It’s time to end the stream.” He said to the camera.
[_uriel_]: give me a wedding invitation!!
[NOTACHUUNI]: me and @commanderofseas wedding would be ni–
Yoo Joonghyuk turned off the stream and walked over to Kim Dokja on his bed. “Why were you in my stream?” He questioned, hugging Kim Dokja, wrapping his arms around his waist. He was too skinny, his hands can overlap each other. Yoo Joonghyuk decided right then to slowly increase his portions of food by unnoticeable amounts so that he can eat more. “Because Han Sooyoung was there.” Kim Dokja had a smile that resembled a gremlin on his face as he said that.
“It’s cold tonight, can I sleep in your room?” Kim Dokja pleaded. How could he say no? Yoo Joonghyuk pulled the blankets over the both of them. Once they were covered, he grabbed Kim Dokja’s waist, his head in Kim Dokja’s chest, his legs between his, and Kim Dokja's hand on his head. He took a deep breath. It was very comfy. He closed his eyes and for once, sleep came to him easily.
When Kim Dokja woke up, the first thing he felt was that all of his limbs felt numb. He looked down and found out the reason why. Yoo Joonghyuk was hugging him so tight it could crush his bones, for god's sake. He used his one free hand to reach out to fondle with Yoo Joonghyuk’s hair. We used the same shampoo, but his hair wasn’t like this. God has favorites.
He gently peeled off Yoo Joonghyuk’s limbs off of his one by one and went to their shared closet to pick out a suit for work and got changed.
The suit was nothing grand, just a simple black suit and tie. But it was a suit that Yoo Joonghyuk had gifted him, so that made it infinitely more special.
The walk to the station wasn’t bad at all. In fact, it was quite peaceful. He kept his pace steady as he eventually got to the station. The doors opened with a chime and he stepped in, somehow finding a seat in the sea of people. He opened his account—a special one for the creator of TWSA—and began working on updates for the game.
