What It Means To Be You
Prologue
In Silence of this Universe where everyone is asleep there occurs a mysterious phenomenon.
Two Worlds bonded in Wonders of this Universal Glitch came in contact with each other.
In this time of contact there happened to be two souls like a fated destiny...
Kim Vincent
What is this place?
Jeon Jungkook
Where even am I?
Would you call this a play of God or the fate of destiny?
Two souls have been switched in the name of destiny.
Kim Vincent
What is this rectangular brick ? What the hell ? It talks?
Park Jimin
What is this mess? Why am I even here?
Kim Vincent
Hey! You! Do You know The Alfelord Kingdom? Take me there!
What will happen now that he is in our time period?
What is this modern technology? Would he be able to live with it?
Jeon Jungkook
What? Orders? Swordsmanship? Strategy? What is this? A fantacy novel?
Min Yoongi
What the hell happened to you?
Jeon Jungkook
*Man, So this is the beginning of technology era? Don't underestimate the skills of a philosophy student.*
Min Yoongi
*has he finally gone mad?*
Would he be able to live without technology?
Let us see the journey of this curious prince and philosophy student.
Our Prince
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
Well hello everyone?
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
Let's get this over with, you procrastinators.
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
I guess you are in your holidays so can't call you lazy.

so let's start(🥱 yawn)
There are countless fables that explain soul switching, but there is one tale that fits this eccentric phenomena.
When we look at the times of this world, we can see some records of people going to sleep and waking up with no memories.
There are no injuries, but they lost there memories, How can this happen?
To find these mysteries, some philosophers speculated some theories.
Some say that their souls must have travelled the undergrounds of hell while they sleep, others say that demonic souls tried to possess their bodies.
But, there is one that made the most sense, they are not the owner of that body. There is theory for occurrence of our dreams. While we sleep, our souls travel out of earth in search of another body in parallel worlds, the dreams are lives of those bodies our soul possess. Our souls seem to return at the third hour of the day.
But what if our souls never return? What if they can't return to their original bodies? What if they are stuck in that body? What if this all is a play of an upper being?
Can humans fight against the fate that the upper beings has set?
This Is the Tale of the Souls that fight through their adversities.
Kim Vincent
(walking)Minister Kim, You should know that better than anyone that those people are in need of these funds. We can't be stuck in the conservative ways of the world anymore. They can really create something that brings this world to a new era. You should have better insights as the Minister of Foreign affairs.
Kim Namjoon
(walking behing)Your highness, You should also know that providing these funds are no easy feat. The Nobles of our Kingdom are very conservative. We should be more careful than ever in these times. Even one wrong step can end with a rebellion as the dukedom's power is on par with us.
Vincent suddenly stops his pace and asks in serious tone.
Kim Vincent
Minister, I can just provide them with my own funds. I will face whatever consequences even if it costs my life.
Kim Namjoon
Your highness, You are playing with your life. Even though you declared that you have no interest in succeeding the throne, there are always snakes that bite every frog.
Suddenly Minister Kim holds Prince's shoulders asking frustrated.
Kim Namjoon
Why do you even want to fund those people? Everyone believes they are affiliated with sorcery and witchcraft. Why? Vincent, Just Why do you want play with your life?
Vincent is surprised that Minister Kim is aggravated like this. Everyone knows him for his patience. Still he didn't bat a single eye in the Minister's sudden outburst.
Kim Vincent
Minister, You should know since you watched me grow up that I'm set on this.
Kim Vincent
And what you are doing is a serious offense to the royalty. This time I will let this slide. (piercing look)
Minister regaining his composure, kneeled even though in his heart there formed a new scar.
Kim Namjoon
Please pardon my actions, Your highness. This won't happen twice. Now, if you will excuse me?
Kim Vincent
(Cold eyes) You are excused. I will be on my way.
Before leaving, he gave a look to the person who is eavesdropping on this conversation all along as if conversing with him.
Minister still did not stand from his position and patiently waited for the prince to leave.
Minister heard footsteps coming towards him still he did not stand up.
Min Yoongi
Don't take his highness's words to your heart, Minister.
Kim Namjoon
(standing up) I know, General. I watched him grow up, and I know that he was the one who noticed you.
Min Yoongi
So you knew(sheepish smile). But Why does his highness so fixated on those inventors?
Kim Namjoon
This is a changing era we are living in, and he noticed that before anyone else. For I must say, he is a strange man, not bound by people's opinions is a courageous feat.
Min Yoongi
But there is one thing that make him, him is that he is not afraid of death as long as he can create a change in this messed time.
Kim Namjoon
*We are living in a changing era, some believe this new devices are affiliated with sorcery and live the same conservative way. While some believe that they are going to change this world. Unfortunately our Kingdom is a conservative land. They are still a few years back in time compared to the rest of the world. Our prince is trying to bring a change in our Kingdom. But for all the years I have lived, I know that people despise changes.*
Yes, The people that Vincent is trying fund is creating the beginning of our modern era. Unfortunately the people of those time believed that devices are witch crafts and opposed the creation of 'witchcraft'. It is so serious that in some areas, people who created those 'witchcraft' were burned alive so cruelly.
If the prince were to support those organizations so openly, it could end with even rebellion for the worst.
At the same time, The prince can be seen walking towards somewhere.
Kim Vincent
*I must do this as soon as possible. The Minister can stop the king if I don't hurry* (Enters the bronze hall)
The bronze hall is the place where parliament is held and all the ministers gather there in order discuss state affairs with the king
Everyone present in hall started greeting the prince.
Our Prince Vincent is known for his eternal looks and cold personality. There are many controversial things surrounding our prince due to his cold personality. There is one rumor that Prince Vincent has a basement full of men with feminine looks, he visits the basement on alternative days and whenever he visits all that the servants hear are soul screeching pleads.
As he walks past everyone and reaches the throne, they could feel the seriousness in the atmosphere between the son and father.
Kim Vincent
(kneel) Your Majesty, This humble prince wishes to request your time. May the gold shine upon our Kingdom.
Kim Seokjin
Hmm. May the gold shine upon our Kingdom. What is it that you want?
No Minister dared to oppose the prince for his disrespect as everyone knows the king granted him the permission to do so.
Kim Vincent
*I must use my words carefully* Your Majesty, I wish fund the organization that creates the technology from my personal funds. Please, Allow me to do so.
The bronze hall was thrown into chaos due to his statement.
Minister of Finance
Your Majesty, You must not. Those technologies are affiliated with witchcraft!!
Minister of Internal Affairs
Your Majesty, This will put the Nobles of our Kingdom into chaos. Please, Think this through.
All the others started to express their oppositions. Still the prince did not seem to faze.
Kim Seokjin
Why do you wish to do so?
Kim Vincent
*I should not say for our country as it can be rejected.* It is for my own personal curiosity.
Kim Seokjin
*He is lying* So you decided that. Very well, I allow you, for it is all your own funds.
Kim Vincent
*He knows* I sincerely thank you, Your Majesty.
Kim Seokjin
The Court is dismissed.
As soon as the king left, Everyone began to whisper among themselves.
Minister of Internal Affairs
Your highness, Can you take the consequence for your words?
Kim Vincent
Do not worry, I have taken this decision knowing full well about the consequences.
Minister of Internal Affairs
Then I suppose it is more work for me.
Minister of Finance
(glared at Vincent and left)
Everyone soon left the place and returned to their respective houses. Minister Kim heard the news and sighed to himself. The king was going towards Queen Mother's chambers.
Kim Seokjin
Mother, May I enter?
Queen Mother Odina Kim
Yes, dear. Come on in.
Kim Seokjin
Mother, have you heard the news?
Queen Mother Odina Kim
Yes, I have.
Kim Seokjin
Why do you think he is doing this? Since childhood, he is always been like this. This is giving me a headache.
Queen Mother Odina Kim
Well, You gave me lot of headache too. Now your son is returning it. (quirky smile)
Kim Seokjin
Mother, please. This is serious.
Queen Mother Odina Kim
(laugh) yes yes. You should know that since childhood nothing ever interested him, and he was far too mature for his age. He knows what he is doing. Let him go on his path. People like him are born for greatness.
Kim Seokjin
I suppose so. But I'm worried as his father. Even though I am the King, Can't I be worried about my son?
Queen Mother Odina Kim
You can, My child. But let him walk his path. He knows something that we can't see yet.
Kim Seokjin
I suppose all I can do is watch.
They continued to talk while the Prince returned to his chambers.
Kim Vincent
(Lying in bed)*The days after this are going to be absolute chaos but I'm prepared for this*
Kim Vincent
*The things they said, if I recall correctly one was a telephone which allows us to communicate through wires. It really seems like a witchcraft if I may. That thing called electricity . I feel it is the real revolution. I wish the world would feel the same as I do*
He slept soundly without knowing what lies ahead.
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
So how was it? the first chapter.
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
A total of 1535 words. Never in my life would I thought I would write this much.
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
stay tuned in the next chapter we will see about our philosopher (⌐■-■)
Our Philosophy Boy
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
You guys still here, huh?
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
Well, leave in the comments if you think we can do something better in this story.
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
Interested in our philosophy boy, huh? (☞^o^) ☞ಠ ೧ ಠ
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
Ok I'm not that good on conversing for today (ー_ー゛)
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
Let's get this over with (⌐■-■)
"The people of today can really get sucked into their phones"." You have headache?, it is because you use too much phone, oh you broke your pelvic bone, it is because of your phone". "You're just on your phone, come talk with us". "You are addicted".
These are words of the elderly in our world and the sad truth is we can't deny that except for the bone part (눈‸눈). We, the youth is creating a generation that are open-minded and independent.
In the future, I feel those who discriminate based on cast will be an outcast(⌐■-■).
This same situation is happening in this college that our philosophy boy is going.
Jeon Jungkook
Jimin. Jimin. Jimin. Jimin.
Park Jimin
(still on phone)Yes.
Jeon Jungkook
Jimin. Jimin. Jimin. Jim-
Park Jimin
WHAT?(looked at him)
Jeon Jungkook
Finally, You looked.
Jeon Jungkook
I was talking about the seminar tomorrow, I feel really nervous about it. I watched thousands of videos. But still can't get it straight.
Park Jimin
You literally have the best speech written, You just need to convey it in the best way possible.
Jeon Jungkook
That is the problem. Did you hear what the professor said earlier today? The judgmental eyes! I can't get the shaking out of my legs.
Park Jimin
Kook-ah, look I may not have the best advice but don't look at them.
Jeon Jungkook
Jimin, They shamed the students who didn't look their way.
Park Jimin
(annoyed)What is this mess you are in? You have the talent to write but not talk. You have the best possible theories out there. It is a skill Jungkook, Not Talent. You can develop it step by step.
Jeon Jungkook
Yeah, I will figure it out somehow.(bit hurt)
Park Jimin
(Back on his phone)
Jeon Jungkook
*He is annoyed that I disturbed him. We didn't use to be like this. He was addicted to his phone after being alone in his house when his mother was away. It feels lonely even though I have a friend. But I know him better than anyone, I know that he is in his own struggle too, he probably feels it more than I do. In the old days, it was alcohol. Now it is phone. Humans will always find a way to get addicted no matter the era. In some era, women were also an addiction people don't talk about those things.*
Jeon Jungkook
(Remembering earlier today)
The College was bustling with busy noise. Some rode bicycle, while few used some walk around the campus. Jungkook would always walk since he enjoyed the nature and tree around there.
He was always a curious kid. He was curious about nature. He was curious about history. He was curious about electricity. He was curious about the ways of world. Not only that, but he was also curious human behaviors and what not.
But as the time progressed with an advancement of technology, people seemed too much involved. He lost his sparks trying to change the people around him.
As he was walking, everyone around were either on their phone or talking on the phone as they rode the bicycle.
Jeon Jungkook
*It is such a sorry sight to see. I wish phones would disappear even just for one day*
As he was thinking he reached seminar hall. Today was the seminar of the first batch.
It was already started when he reached there. The students were talking, some were going through their content and some were blasting YouTube videos on their phones. The professor was so annoyed. Seriously Jungkook would also be in that situation.
Professor Nakoa
(shouts through the mic)Would everyone turn their phones off? And Who are reading out loud? I would throw them out.
Linn
(Nervous) Aa-and that I-is why We S-shoud cons-ider this t-theory.
Professor Dinah
What? You are already finished? Did you eat half of it?(judgmental)
Linn
(ashamed) S-sorry, ma'am.
Seeing this some students started recording this. Not for evidence or justice, it was for likes and comments because they were also laughing at it.
Linn
(Ran out of the hall)
Witnessing the situation, Jungkook ran behind her.
After settling her to sit, he gave her some water and knelt on the ground in front of her.
Jeon Jungkook
Hey, Hey it is okay. It's alright. You will be fine. Now, now calm down a little and breath through your nose on my count.
Jeon Jungkook
One...two...three... You are doing fine. Now again one...two...three... See you are all relaxed now. (smiles)
Jeon Jungkook
Now, Now don't make me fall for you with your smile, young lady. I have commitments, you see. You cannot seduce me. (turned his head away with a pout)
Linn
(laughs) I wouldn't mind this gentleman man falling for me.
Linn
I'm relaxed now. Come and sit with me, would you?
Jeon Jungkook
Why? Of course! (smiles) *she is kind*
Linn
So what is your name, busy man?
While they were introducing each other Jimin walked across them with his phone.
Jeon Jungkook
(noticed Jimin) Jimin!!! (shouts)
Jeon Jungkook
HEY!! HELLO!!
But Jimin walked as if he heard nothing.
Linn
Is that someone you know?
Jeon Jungkook
(embarrassed) Oh yeah! He is my friend.
Linn
(quirky smile) He seems busier than you (noticed his embarrassment)
Linn
(laughs) give me your number.
Jeon Jungkook
Wow, I never thought a day would come when a girl would ask my number(amazed)
Linn
Hey, I'm older than you, Show some respect (patted his head)
Jeon Jungkook
I thought you would be my lover, but you want to be my noona?? What is this misery?
Linn
Sorry, Cute guys are not my type. (winks)
Jeon Jungkook
(pouts again)
After their little affair, they returned to their classes. Jungkook was hurt, but he didn't ask Jimin about it.
He slept as he recalled those memories.
He didn't know what lies ahead of his future as he slept.
At the same time, the space seemed off. The always quiet universe seemed to be thrown into chaos.
Many cosmics acted strange as though being manipulated by someone.
The astrologers sensed that and seemed to be going mad.
Cleon
It is happening!!. It is happening!!. The upper being is playing us on his hands. (acting crazy)
Everything seemed so strange that night. The Muslims said it was the beginning of the judgement day. The Hindus said that the gods became angry. The Christians thought it was Jesus returns to earth. The scientists were thrown off guard by this strange phenomenon.
Unaware of these chaoses, those two souls slept soundly without a worry
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
I don't know much about religion, but I researched and if there is something incorrect do correct me.
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
So we have seen about our philosophy boy.
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
he is such a flirt, isn't he?
Lazy 🦥 Chicken 🍗
But don't even think about going for him, he is my child(⌐■-■).
