Dating Geum Seong-je isn’t always the easiest thing in the world. He has an unbearable amount of attitude towards his pride, believing he is far more superior to anyone else. He’s arrogant and self-centered, so it makes things difficult for your guy’s relationship every now and then.
Seong-je wasn’t the type of guy to say “I love you” often nor is he the cheesy type who would buy you flowers and take you out on cute dates. He was a rough kind of soft; he likes making fun of you and teasing you, but when you express discomfort around teasing towards certain topics, he watches himself.
He has his own way of expressing love, even if it isn’t completely ideal or extremely romantic compared to others. If you didn’t like the smell of cigarettes, he would refrain from smoking near you, or try to at least. A couple of slip-ups here and there, but you appreciated the effort regardless.
Anybody who dared to look at you in the wrong way? He would promise himself that he would gouge their eyes out.
But he does make up excuses about how someone looked at you for longer than three seconds, leaving him with no choice but to beat the shit out of them mostly for the sole purpose of having fun rather than protecting you.
He does protect you when it’s completely necessary though.
He is also barely able to take things seriously. Cool.
Smart—ass remarks coming out of his mouth most of the time? Sure.
He's also a huge fucking bully.
It was Saturday night, and your parents were out of town on vacation for a few days, so ultimately you had the entire house to yourself until the upcoming Wednesday. So you let your boyfriend Seong-je come over and stay for the weekend.
The two of you were in your bedroom, pitch darkness as the only sources of light were your TV, PC, and phone screen. You lay on your bed, mindlessly doomscrolling on TikTok while your music played on your TV, the volume sitting at a good ten percent since you were really only going for a bit of background noise.
And there was Seong-je, sitting on your gaming chair, at your desk playing Roblox.
If you could name one thing he enjoyed doing, it would be bullying little kids on Roblox.
“Fucking bitch, go kill yourself,” Seong-je grumbled under his breath in irritation while aggressively clicking the keyboard.
“Seong-je.” You warned.
He ignored you, eyes not bothering to move away from the screen in front of him.
Taking note of the way he brushed off your warning, you sighed before continuing your endless scroll on social media, not thinking too much about it.
After a few minutes, Seong-je broke the silence once again.
“How the fuck did this loser win?! I killed him like fifteen fucking times!” He shouted as he just stares at the screen in disbelief, and shortly after the sound of keys clicking followed suit.
Unaware of what Seong-je was huffing and puffing about, you came across those crazy Reddit stories and were completely engrossed in the story. How could you resist? It was a story about someone who fell in love with their brother; it was weird, yes, but you were extremely invested in it as you listened to the drama unfold. Your eyes were even locked onto the background, watching someone playing with slime.
On the other hand, Seong-je threatened the person who won the Arsenal game to mic up on a different social media platform to avoid bans, ready to hurl insults in their face about how bad they were.
Watching the guy type short ‘No’s and ‘Why’s fueled Seong-je’s anger even further. Deciding to ignore the risks of getting your account banned, he immediately started talking shit towards the poor guy in the best way he could through Roblox’s chat filter.
You rarely played Roblox, so it was okay.
Which is what Seong-je thought.
And he went completely off that thought carelessly.
[Sourcream7393]: you’re trash
[Sourcream7393]: ##############
[Sourcream7393]: rematch you man horrre
[AwesomeGamerboy_Cool67]: what does man horrre mean?
[Sourcream7393]: means you’re a gay

[Sourcream7393]: #############################################################
[AwesomeGamerboy_Cool67]: whats a #########
[AwesomeGamerboy_Cool67]: gay
Seeing how dumb the guy was, Seong-je was dumbfounded before coming to the realization that the guy he was arguing with was a kid.
Smirking, he grabbed one of your plushies that was sitting on your desk and threw it at you in order to catch your attention.
Successfully, you felt the plushie land on your lap and looked away from the phone and at Seong-je.
“Come,” he said, making a beckoning motion with his pointer finger.
Raising your eyebrow, you got up from where you lay and made your way to Seong-je. You stood next to him, wondering as to why he made you come over to him before he pointed at the screen.
“That’s a little kid,” smiling as he watched the kid struggling to send a chat without it filtering.
“Seong-je why in the world would you call a child a manwhore.” You crossed your arms over your chest, not even caring about the fact that this was a kid but more onto the insult he just called him.
“‘Cause I can.” He bluntly stated, before raising his hand towards you and swishing it outward swiftly, “You can go now. Shoo shoo.”
Ignoring his demands to leave, you whip out your phone.
Opening Roblox, you logged into the alt account that your main had previously added. Since Seong-je was playing on your account and was already in-game, you decided to join him.
“Why’d you join?” Seong-je asked, seeing the small grey bar at the top of his screen appear and read out, ‘Fatpugxoxo joined you’
“Shitty ass username you have, by the way.”
“What, is Sourcream7393 better? Is it growing on you?” You said in a playful manner, a smile forming on your lips as you poked his cheek just to annoy him.
His eyes made their way towards your own, and he glared at you, hard.
Ignoring his glare, you were finally able to load into the game. Pressing the grey play button, you choose to go onto the blue team and spawned in as soon as the round started, immediately focusing your attention on earning kills.
A few seconds in and you were already dying to Seong-je.
“Tryhard,” You told him as your eyes were locked onto your screen, fingers moving as you tried getting a few kills. Seong-je was on the red team and anytime you would kill at least one of his teammates he would immediately come behind you and kill you easily.
“You’re just shit,” He spoke.
“If I was on my PC, I would beat your ass.”
“Ooh, you’re so freaking scary.”
Now it was your turn to glare at him.
While the round was progressing, Seong-je was the team leader for the red team and his opponent, aka AwesomeGamerboy_Cool67 was the team leader for the blue team. And as the round was reaching towards its end, both Seong-je and AwesomeGamerboy_Cool67 were one kill away from winning.
And of course, AwesomeGamerboy_Cool67 got his final kill before Seong-je, claiming victory.
So he threw a fit.
“Are you fucking kidding me?” He snapped, slapping his hand onto the desk with a small amount of force.
You on the other hand were desperately trying to bite back a laugh at the way he reacted. Seeing him getting riled up because of a kid on Roblox was definitely an amusing sight for you. And before you were able to make a comment about his unfortunate loss, his fingers were already traveling across the keyboard.
[Sourcream7393]: youre ####
[Sourcream7393]: i hate you
[Sourcream7393]: 1v1 me moron
[Sourcream7393]: ################
[AwesomeGamerboy_Cool67]: why
“Someone’s mad,” You teased, following their chat bubbles pop up in the corner of your screen.
“He’s shit, he only won out of pure luck.” Seong-je quickly argued. “He doesn’t even want to 1v1 me, fucking wuss.”
He sat there, frustration written on his face and voice. Seong-je didn’t take losses very well, especially when it’s to another person.
His eyebrows furrowed before he turned to you. “Say something.”
Puzzled at his words, you asked, “Why?”
“It’s fun to shit-talk kids.” A grin made its way back onto his face. He reached his hand forward and began patting your back, “Come on, ain’t that scary.” he said, reassuring you in a mocking way.
You shot daggers into his face with your own eyes, clearly showing disinterest. “No Seong-je.”
“Why? Too pussy to say a few harmless words?” He made fun of you, his smile widening as he watched your face grow irritated at his words, finding it entertainment in ticking you off.
Refusing again, you scoffed at him before turning your head back to your phone. While you were planning on ignoring him in your head, a different idea popped up. An even better one.
As a small smirk started to forme on your lips, you tapped the chat bubble, and once your keyboard came into view your fingers flew across the screen, typing.
Seong-je examined the way your fingers moved, and noticing the smirk you had on your face, he chuckled. Satisfied that you gave into his words.
Looking back at his screen, he kept an eye on the chat. Waiting for you to say something. “Didn’t know you would give in so easily.”
You hummed, not bothering to rip your eyes away from your phone.
After a second or two, your chat finally popped up.
And once it did, Seong-je’s smile immediately dropped.
[Fatpugxoxo]: Sourcream7393 youre buns at the game
[AwesomeGamerboy_Cool67]: tralalero tralala says yes
“You’ve got to be kidding,” He mumbled under his breath before whipping his head towards you.
“Seriously?” He asked bitterly.
You laughed at his response to your chat. “So serious.”
[Sourcream7393]: ###########
[Sourcream7393]: nobody is talking to you stupid ########
[Sourcream7393]: gamerboy 1v1 me now
[Sourcream7393]: quit dodgin’
[Fatpugxoxo]: stop asking to 1v1 just admit your bad

[Fatpugxoxo]: go eat sourcream
[AwesomeGamerboy_Cool67]: tung tung tung sahur
The way Seong-je was getting more and more aggravated over something as silly as this was laughable. He’s labeled as a scary gang thug and yet he’s in your house, in your room, getting mad over you siding with a little kid on Roblox who refuses to 1v1 him.
Not being able to contain it anymore, you burst out laughing. Was he really this easy to piss off?
Hearing you start laughing, Seong-je instantly powered off your PC and quickly got up from the desk, harshly grabbing your wrist right after.
“You’re done.” He simply demanded, making way towards your bed and having you follow suit before forcefully making you sit down.
“What? Whyyyy it was getting fun,” You whined, lips curving into a frown before Seong-je quickly snatched your phone out of your hands and closed Roblox.
Ignoring your protests as to why he made you stop, he grabbed the TV remote and headed towards the corner of your bed, sitting down.
Snaking his arms around your ribs, he lifted you up and brought you to his chest so the both of you could lay down against the pillows. Completely baffled by his actions, you stayed silent as you witnessed him exit out of Spotify and open up Netflix.
Realizing that you making fun of him on Roblox sent him over the edge, you decided to tease him just a bit more. “Little baby had enough of getting bullied?” You remarked, a playful smile displayed on your face before Seong-je’s free hand immediately covered your mouth, shutting you up.
“Shut the fuck up.” He hissed, not bothering to look at you as he scrolled through the countless movies and shows.
You laughed to yourself, seeing him all worked up over a video game was cute to you. Although you would never admit that out loud considering he would probably choke you to death. (He wouldn’t.)
Smiling beneath the palm of his hand, you reached for his wrist and attempted to pull his hand away, but with the strength Seong-je had, you resorted to patting it, letting him know to take his hand off.
After a few pats, he pulled his hand away, still not bothering to look at you.
Once his hand was off your lips, you turned your head towards him, smiling at the way his glasses sat on his face perfectly, he was definitely an extremely alluring person to look at. Shortly after, you then lifted yourself up a bit and planted a small kiss on his cheek.
Seong-je did not falter one bit, keeping a straight face. But after a while of examining him, you notice his ears going red.
Knowing that you weren’t getting anything better than that, you were satisfied and lay your head onto his chest, watching as he was still looking through the movie options.
Once both of you agreed on a movie, one of Seong-je’s arms wrapped around your back, hand resting on your waist.
You loved him, even if he was very limited in showing you that. You knew that he loved you just as much as you did; he just expressed it differently and you were okay with that. He was egoistical, yes. But one thing you loved about him was his loyalty to you, and you couldn’t have asked for more.
