I looked at Dongju who stared at me.
"Should we view the tutorial?" I asked as the word yes remained highlighted and blinked.
"It's weird enough that we were on the title screen... I'm sure if we agree something bad will happen." Dongju said before looking back at the screen.
"What if there's important information? Do you really want to go into this blindly?" I asked, hoping he'd disagree.
"Fine, choose yes. I won't be responsible if something bad happens." he said with his arms crossed.
"Fine, we won't then..." I mumbled then chose no.
The screen was completely black and it started to worry us. Soon we were looking at a visual novel type scene. The background strangely resembled our room and two characters sat on a chair facing a TV screen. Just like us. I slowly looked at Dongju as I tried not to freak out.
"Ju... is the character on the left looking at the one on the right...?" I asked as my body started to tremble.
"Y- Yeah..." he replied slowly.
A weird noise escaped my throat as I was afraid to look. Something paranormal was at work. I left my seat then tried opening our door. It was shut tightly.
"What the fuck?" I blurted out then heard Dongju gasp. "What?"
"T- The character moved... and a text box... n- now its showing for the second character... and it's repeating everything I say..." he said as if he was about to faint.
I walked back over and sure enough, everything he said was displayed. It was scary yet intriguing. I sat down then picked up the controller.
"Let's see what we can do." I said then handed him the controller.
"Myeong, I can't do this... Play by yourself." he said.
The wind that had long since died down started up again, causing us to look. Dongju continued to state then held the controller.
"Let's play..." Dongju muttered.
I moved my character around and started to inspect things. It was scary how every little detail of our room was perfectly placed in the game. I moved my character over to the door and watched as he went through it along with Dongju's.
A phone started to ring and my controller was the one to vibrate. A text box popped up asking if I wanted to answer. I chose yes.
"'A text from Youngjo. Hey, you better stop before I retaliate.'. The hell?" I said then noticed I was given the option to write my own reply.
"Myeong... isn't that a bit cruel?" Dongju said as I hit send.
"It's just a game. Sure they mimic us, but it doesn't apply to real life." I said then read the text that showed up on screen. "'Minus fifty happy points with Youngjo.'. As if I care."
We moved our characters down stairs and saw our parents were arguing. What about was a mystery to us. Dongju's controller vibrates and he was given choices. He selected end the argument and ended up getting a slap to the cheek for being out of line. Though, he did get ten happy points for trying. What were happy points anyway? A part of me started to regret not asking for the tutorial.
"Hey, you got another text." said Dongju.
I viewed it then noticed it was from Yonghoon. I looked at Dongju who seemed just as upset as I was. Something seemed to have happened that he sent such a depressing text. I responded how I normally would then saw another text box appear above the chat.
"'Minus twenty happy points.' What? How was it a bad thing? This game sucks." I spat before pouting.
"At least you didn't get slapped..." he mumbled before moving his character outside.
I noticed a few things appeared on the screen. The date, time, weather and a tiny calendar. I went to the calendar and started to feel uneasy again. It resembled ours closely. I looked at Dongju who seemed just as uncomfortable. The time matched ours exactly. Someone new had walked up to our characters and soon a textbox appeared.
"'Hey, I was just about to invite you to a party, Dongmyeong. How about it?'. Uh..." I read then looked at Dongju.
