📲[Kook, I broke up with Mingyu.]
Jungkook opened WeChat and saw a message from his friend Wonwoo. He blinked in surprise before reaching for a cracker on his desk and stuffing it into his mouth.
He replied after taking a moment to think
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
📲 [Why?]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲 [He’s someplace beyond my reach.]
The five words stared back at him from the screen.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“Oh.”
After a moment, Jungkook remembered that Wonwoo couldn’t actually hear him.
Wonwoo’s boyfriend, Mingyu, was a professional Valorant player, an esports player. Ever since esports gained official recognition as a competitive sport, professional players had become celebrities in their own right.
In essence, most professional gamers were internet-addicted teenagers who could happily survive with nothing but a computer.
But if you date them, it probably isn’t that different from dating a famous movie star.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“...... I said it from the beginning, you shouldn’t have agreed to date a teenager addicted to the internet.”
Jungkook grabbed another cracker and popped it into his mouth. Not knowing how to respond to his angry friend, he decided to wait for him to cool down by opening up Valorant on his computer.
Jungkook had encountered several such professional players.
After signing in and queuing for a match, a chat window popped up in the bottom-left corner of his screen from an unfamiliar English username.
He squinted at the chat window, waiting for the message to appear, only to discover that the sender was surprisingly direct.
Unknown
📲[HI, friend, would you like come to Seoul play game?]
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
💭…… was he using Google Translate?
Jungkook dropped the cracker dangling in his mouth from laughter.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
💭 Might as well reply — —
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
📲 [I’m Korean.]
The other side was silent for a few seconds.
Unknown
📲 Then sent a flood of “hahahahahah” — —
Unknown
📲[You play well. How old are you? Do you want to come and play professionally? I’m part of Korea’s BTS team.]
Jungkook stared at those four letters for some time before letting out a shout. His mother, who had been cleaning fish in the kitchen, had quickly dashed into his room with a cleaver still clenched in hand:
Jeon Aerum / JK’s Mother
“What’s the matter? Is there a cockroach?”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“Mom, someone wants me to play professional Valorant!”
Jungkook pointed at the screen.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“It’s a famous team. They’re sponsored by Korea Telecom and based in Seoul.”
His mother looked understanding, but otherwise her demeanor remained unchanged.
Jeon Aerum / JK’s Mother
“Last week, someone called to tell me that I had won a Rolls-Royce from the nearby supermarket.”
Jungkook remained silent.
Jeon Aerum / JK’s Mother
“How can you be so gullible? Play professionally? Then what about school? Just from playing these lousy computer games has gotten to your head. Have you even finished your summer homework?”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“I’m a college freshman, there’s no summer homework anymore……”
Jungkook replied absentmindedly, his eyes still glued to the screen.
Unknown
📲 [They make $192K USD a year, not including the award money from tournaments. If you’re not satisfied by that, we can still talk.]
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“.......”
After a long moment, his mother responded,
Jeon Aerum / JK’s Mother
“Give him your contact information.”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“Didn’t you say it’s a scam?”
Jeon Aerum / JK’s Mother
“Would a scammer claim to pay someone $192K USD?”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“Maybe he’s smarter and doesn’t exaggerate.”
Jeon Aerum / JK’s Mother
“Give him your phone number. It couldn’t hurt.”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“...... Didn’t you say I need to finish school first?”
Jeon Aerum / JK’s Mother
“Take leave, then after you’ve earned $192K USD you can go back.”
His mother deftly replied and waved her cleaver,
Jeon Aerum / JK’s Mother
“Just give him your number.”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
💭It seemed that if he said no now, the cleaver was going to fall onto his head. Jungkook shook his head and turned back to the computer. After a moment of thought, he typed his answer into the chat.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
📲 [Sorry, I’m an Omega. I can’t play Valorant.]
Valorant was one of the biggest esports titles in South Korea, and BTS was one of its powerhouse teams—packed with star players and fans all over the world.
Jungkook also held great admiration for the team, following them whenever they were competing.
When he saw someone from this team contacting him, he was ecstatic, but now there was only one problem — —
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
He was an Omega.💭
Except for last year at the North American Regionals, they had only taken one Omega on the team. Aside from her, there wasn’t another Omega on any major team in the world. — — When she was hired from the North American Regionals, it caused a small earthquake in the Valorant community.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
💭 Jungkook wiped a hand down his face and, when no reply came, assumed the conversation was over. He couldn’t tell if he felt disappointed or something else, but either way lost interest in playing a match. As he was about to close the chat box, he noticed that there was a response.
Unknown
📲[Omega is OK, Kiddo, let’s make a big splash in the news!]
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“......”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
💭 Even through the terrible Google Translate English, Jungkook found it oddly cute.
Even if the guy was joking, Jungkook figured there was no harm in trying. With that, he posted his number onto the chat and logged off.
By this time, he discovered that his WeChat with Wonwoo was overflowing with messages — —
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲[All he knows how to do is play his damn game.]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲[What about his omega?]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲[I told him one day that I was in a bad mood. Guess what he said? I lost my game today, I’m not in a good mood either. T.T ]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲 [I told him that I wanted to see him. He said, sure, tonight he’s going to stream with his web cam, so I can watch him and give him some bits.]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲 [I told him that I’m tired from my classes. He says he’s tired from playing games.]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲[Dammit all, I’m so angry. Where are you! Come back and respond now.]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲 [Yesterday, I saw him wear a t-shirt that I’d never seen before. It looked so nice on him, but the moment I saw it, I could tell it wasn’t something he’d ever buy himself.]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲[I asked him where it’d come from. He told me that it was sent in from a fan. Could I say that it looked good? I had to say it didn’t look good on him.]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲 [What did he say? The fan had sent it to him, to support him, so he had to wear it at least once to show his appreciation. Damn him, he appreciates his fans but treats me like shit!]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲 [I’ve had enough of this idiot! My heart can’t take it anymore!]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲 [Finally, he’s on break and doesn’t have to train. He doesn’t even want to go out with me for dinner ……. He has the gall to stay at his base to self-train. If he practices so much, why hasn’t he won a championship yet? Fate’s just playing a sick joke on him isn’t it!]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲 [He loved that keyboard more than me. Hell, I’m the one who gave him the f*cking keyboard.]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲 [Even when we’re dating, we’re just playing games. Then he has the balls to criticize how badly I play. Please! All an Omega has to do is play cute. If there’s such a creature who’s cute and can play games well, then there’d be no need for pro gamers like him!]
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲 [It just pissed me off!]
Jungkook roared in laughter as he read.
He laughed so hard that he felt guilty as he typed his reply.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
📲 [Look at the bright side, I’ll buy you a big dinner.]
Before he could send the message, another line popped up from Wonwoo.
Jeon Won-woo / Woo / Omega
📲[Kook, if it were you, would you date a professional gamer?]
Jungkook’s fingers paused over the keyboard.
The smile slowly slipped from his face.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Looking down at the screen, Jungkook typed back honestly — —
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
📲 [If it were me, I wouldn’t date a professional gamer.]
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
📲 [If I had that kind of patience, then I might as well use it to get into Seoul National University or Korea University.]

Hello pretty ladies!! ✨

Let’s start the chapter ~
As the saying goes, romance and esports don’t mix.
Jungkook knew that better than anyone.
Because before there was BTS, before professional contracts, before becoming Radiant, there had been Bang Chan.
The reason Jungkook started playing Valorant was simple.
Like many Omegas, he got into the game because someone he liked couldn’t stop playing it.
They lived only a few doors apart that summer, yet somehow they barely spoke.
So one day, he knocked on Chan’s door and found him glued to his computer, completely absorbed in a game.
No matter what Jungkook said, he barely got a response.
Author
P.S My brother does the same when he got lost in this game and if i annoy too much and he lost his round bcz of it that time is game over for me 🥲
While Chan was distracted using his abilities, Jungkook leaned over and pressed a random key.
On screen, his character suddenly dashed forward towards a group of people with red names. Then the colorful screen abruptly turned black and white.
Jungkook giggled even as a pair of angry eyes glared at him. He moved a stool over to sit next to him, just in time to see him speedily type a message–
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
📲 [Sorry, my boyfriend’s messing around.]
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Jungkook’s eyes narrowed as he laughed.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Jungkook poked him.
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
Chan looked annoyed but didn’t dare complain.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“Chan,” Jungkook asked slowly, “looks like you’re having a lot of fun. Teach me how to play.”
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“What?” Chan blinked.
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“You?”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“Yeah, me.” Jungkook smiled.
Jungkook still remembered the look he gave him. With little choice, he was forced to log off, then used Jungkook’s email to create a new account. He reluctantly let Jungkook sit in his chair and hold his mouse, then patiently explained everything standing behind him–
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“This is a tactical shooting game. There are two teams — attackers and defenders. The attackers need to plant a bomb called the Spike on one of the sites and protect it until it explodes. The defenders need to stop them or defuse it in time.”
They reached the agent selection screen–
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“Which one do I choose? Is it okay if I choose that good looking one?”
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“Don’t, don’t, don’t. Aiya, just choose a Sentinel. Sentinel– –see that one with the gadgets, that’s it.”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“So boring looking.”
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“It’s alright since you’re pretty enough.”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“……you’re really a sweet talker. What’s a Sentinel?”
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“This game has different roles. One person plays Duelist — they’re the main attacker, first to enter a site, gets the most kills; one plays Initiator — they gather information and set up fights for the team; one plays Controller — they use smokes to block enemy vision and control the map–”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“What about the last one?”
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“Sentinel. That’s you. You hold down the site, stop enemies from sneaking in, protect your teammates.”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“Sounds like I won’t have much to do. Will I be able to browse Instagram after I choose Sentinel?”
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“Might as well not play if you’re browsing Instagram. Haven’t you noticed that if no one watches the flanks, your whole team gets killed from behind? Sentinel has to be the eyes and ears for the team. You have to use your gadgets to cover angles–”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“So bothersome. Is there a role that gets to be aggressive, gets a lot of kills, and doesn’t have to worry about being yelled at for poor positioning?”
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“Sure!” Bang Chan used his lips to point at the agent selection screen. “Duelist.”
Author
P.s I think that’s why my brother mostly plays as Duellist 🤭
Author
Okay let’s continue for today i think this is enough mentioning him
Author
If by chance he sees this i will be dead ☠️
So, Jungkook became a Duelist.
Bang Chan was an Initiator. When the two of them played together, Bang Chan would hang around wherever Jungkook was pushing, despite any cries from the rest of the team for help. He would tirelessly set up flashes and information for Jungkook, establishing an advantage–
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Chan called it the “entry alliance.”💭
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
After Jungkook got more into the game, he realized that it wasn’t an “entry alliance” at all; it was just “the basic rule of playing with an Omega.”
In the beginning, Jungkook needed Chan’s help all the time. Without Bang Chan at his side, he would die instantly.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“I’m dead.”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“I’m dead again.”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“Damn, why am I dead again?”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“Bang Chan, if you keep lurking on the other side of the map, you won’t have a boyfriend anymore.”
Yet, after numerous deaths, Jungkook finally got the hang of it.
Valorant uses a rank system as the fundamental indicator of a player’s skill level; from lowest to highest the ranks go as the following: Iron, Bronze, Silver, Gold, Platinum, Diamond, Ascendant, Immortal…
The rule is very simple: whenever one wins a ranked game, they gain rank rating points, if one loses, the system will deduct the same amount. Once a player reaches the top of Immortal, they can qualify for the highest tier of all—
The top five hundred players on the entire server.
Bang Chan was one of those kings on the Korean server. He was one of the rare ones that when he played at a PC bang, they would announce his arrival, “the Radiant player GodChan on the Korean Server is playing at our cafe now on computer number 17.”
Therefore, he could do whatever he wanted with the newbie Jungkook in the Duelist role.

See you guys in next chapter

Ik it’s lil boring but trust me without this information the game will be out our heads

I was like tae when i first saw my brother playing and I still don’t play but understand few things so here i’m with this story
2.2
Jungkook was too excited to sleep the night he unlocked ranked.
The next morning, the first thing he did was knock on Bang Chan’s door and declare that Chan had to help him climb.
When he saw Chan’s confused look after he opened the door, he was stunned to find that he had turned into a complete gaming addict……
They spent the rest of that summer dating in Valorant ranked queues.
A few days before the end of summer vacation, Jungkook went to knock on Bang Chan’s door with a bag of yogurt in his mouth.
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
Chan opened the door and said,
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“We’re not going to play games today, let’s do our summer homework.”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
So Jungkook brought over a stack of notebooks and went into Bang Chan’s room. Before he had time to set the notebooks down, he noticed that there was an open suitcase on his bed with a few clothes inside–
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“?”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Jungkook turned around to ask Chan.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“You going somewhere? School is going to start soon and you’re going out? Aren’t you going to finish your homework? Don’t procrastinate then beg me to finish for you when school starts–”
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“Jungkook.”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
"Huh?"
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
Bang Chan paused.
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
After a while, he spoke as if he had finally made a decision.
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“I’m not going back to school.”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“What?”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Jungkook was taken aback and thought maybe he had heard it wrong.
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“A manager of a professional team likes me and wants me to go to Busan to try out. If I do well, then I’ll stay there to play professionally. My parents have already agreed to it.”
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
Bang Chan slightly frowned and scratched his head.
Bang Chan / GodChan / Rare Alpha
“You know that I’m not good at studying. Even if I can get into a third-tier college, I wouldn’t know what to do after I graduate. I like to play games and I feel that I can have more of a future there–”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“……”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
That was the first time he had heard about professional Valorant.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
It wasn’t a pleasant introduction.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
He felt that the game had taken the person he liked away from him.
Several days later, Jungkook went back to school and Bang Chan went to Busan headquarters. A few days after that, Chan told him that he had passed the tryout without a hitch. He started as a substitute for one of the best teams in Korea in Seoul.
Later on, he finally got the chance to compete on stage.
Bang Chan’s team not only won the match, they won beautifully. At the time, the first Initiator of their team wasn’t in good condition, Chan was sure to become the first Initiator after that match.
That night, he excitedly talked to Jungkook without stopping. He searched online for news about him while listening. Everyone from online communities, Twitter, and fan apps was surprised at his performance: where did this Chan come from? He’s super strong.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Aiyo, he had thought, my boyfriend was a star now.
Later, his boyfriend really turned into a star…
Every day, he was either training or playing a match. On KakaoTalk, he wouldn’t reply to messages Jungkook sent at 8 a.m. until 8 p.m. The first line would always be, “Sorry, I was training, didn’t see it.”
They had less and less time to talk. During the day, while Jungkook was in school, Bang Chan would be sleeping.
When Jungkook got home from school, he was just waking up. They would chat for a bit, then he had to go train or stream.
When Jungkook was getting ready to sleep, Bang Chan was calling to order delivery.
When Bang Chan became “GodChan”, their relationship became a long-distance romance with a built-in time difference.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
💭In the end, Jungkook couldn’t remember exactly who became fed up with it first. Regardless, after a big fight, they sulkily broke up.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Afterwards, Jungkook paid little attention to the professional scene. He concentrated on playing his own ranked games. He rose slowly from Silver to Gold, then to Platinum, then Diamond, then Ascendant, then Immortal…
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Then Jungkook got into college, met some new friends, and changed to another ID.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Then one day, he looked up and realized his rank rating was the highest on the Korean server. He became the strongest Radiant king himself……
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
It seemed such a long time ago when he was yelling, “If you keep lurking on the other side of the map, you won’t have a boyfriend anymore…”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Until now—
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“……”
Unknown
“Jungkook! Hey! Come back! What are you thinking!”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
The manager of the BTS team clapped a few times to get Jungkook back from his wandering mind. Jungkook, startled out of his reverie, saw the manager reach out his hand,
Kim Seokjin/Jin/BTS Manager/Rare Omega
“Welcome to BTS! I’m Kim Seok-Jin. Manager of BTS!”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“……”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Jungkook shook his hand in a daze.
The current Duelist, God RM, of BTS was a veteran player. He felt that he was getting too old to play the game well and was preparing to announce his retirement after this year’s spring tournament.
It was said that the news release was already done and it would be announced on the day of the spring tournament finals.
That was the reason why BTS was in a hurry to look for a replacement and they picked Jungkook–they said that before they contacted Jungkook, BTS’s data analyst had followed him when he played for several days.
The analyst was quite satisfied with him and even suggested that he could skip the tryouts……
Kim Seokjin/Jin/BTS Manager/Rare Omega
The manager of BTS flew from Seoul to meet Jungkook and his parents. They offered a contract of $195K a year and guaranteed the first Duelist position for the summer season. The whole signing process was kept a secret.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
When Jungkook signed the contract, he was in a daze–
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
He had never imagined that one day he’d be standing on a stage that had once felt impossibly far away.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Yet, right now…
Kim Seokjin/Jin/BTS Manager/Rare Omega
After they shook hands, the manager sat back to his seat and spoke to Jungkook with a smile,
Kim Seokjin/Jin/BTS Manager/Rare Omega
“Though there’s no hurry to come over, next Wednesday is our spring finals with Stray Kids, why don’t you come take a look? Get to know your teammates in advance. We will take care of the airline ticket and the ticket for the first row at the finals……”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“Which team are we against?”
Kim Seokjin/Jin/BTS Manager/Rare Omega
“Stray Kids.”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
“Oh.” Jungkook slowly nodded without any expression. “Alright, I’ll go.”
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
💭Stray Kids was Bang Chan’s team.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
In the past, Jungkook wouldn’t miss any of the Stray Kids’ games. Now, he only wanted to go watch the game live and see how his future teammates would smash their enemy.
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
💭 Just by thinking about that dejected face……
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Yiii....
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
Jeon Jungkook / JK / Supreme Omega
He felt happy even by thinking about it.
