“Hah! Pwned you noob!” I gloated, raising my hands in the air jubilantly and jeering loudly.

 

I was resting in front of my computer(by resting I meant I was skyping the boys and having a game of Left for Dead with them) and icing my injured leg. I was just entering a new game with the guys when I heard a knock on the door. “Either go away or let yourself in!” I growled, assuming it was Erin. I was sore from yesterday's events and reluctant to move from my chair. Plus I was in the middle of a game! Any self-respecting gamer should know, never disturb a gamer when he/she is in a middle of an intense life or death battle.

 

The knocking intensified. Informing the boys I would be exiting the game for a bit, I left. Pushing back my chair, I snarled as I stalked to the door, intent on giving Erin an earful. “This had better be good.” I grumbled, throwing open the door. Looking up, I saw that it was Ji Hyo, not Erin at my door. I stared stupidly at her.

 

“Erm is this a bad time?” She asked, looking sheepishly back at me. “I just thought I'd swing around and check up on you since you lived close by and I was free.” She added kindly.

 

Ruefully, I scratched my head and made way for her to enter. “Oh no, no... I'm not doing anything at all. I thought you were Erin.” I ended meekly. I heard the boys screaming on the speaker over Skype.

 

“REG! GET YOUR BACK HERE! We're getting creamed!”

 

I limped over to the computer. “Hey, guys. I'm sorry but I've got company. She's here to visit me. I've gotta go.” I informed.

 

“Hey, what happened to bros before hoes?!” They whined in protest before I cut off the call.

 

I turned back to Ji Hyo. My legs already sore, almost gave way when she flashed me a dazzling smile. I returned her smile with a small smile of my own. The actress held up a book, “I thought we could start our language exchange today since we're both free!” She exclaimed happily.

 

Shaking my head, I tried to wipe the idiotic grin off my face before she noticed. Clearing my throat, I offered her some water before taking a seat next to her on the couch. I took in her appearance. She was dressed simply in a white tee and jeans, whereas I was still shabbily dressed in a Indiana Jones Lucasfilm crew singlet and a pair of shorts. My usual sleeping attire in the heat of summer.

 

She studied me, taking in the singlet I currently had on. “Indiana Jones?” She asked. Her Korean-accented English sprinkled the phrase. I found it to be incredibly cute. “Yeah, I used to wo

Chapter 41: Yay it's complete!!! After those two spent so much time spent dancing around each other (not to mention teasing us readers with their will-they-or-won't-they romance) Reg and Jihyo finally get together and have the ending they deserve!

It's great to see Reg finally being assertive and declaring her love and dreams for the future without any doubt. What with all her awkwardness and sense of honor I was beginning to think the poor girl would never get some action! :P

In all seriousness though, you've developed the characters so well over so many chapters it just feels like this final chapter is merely tying up loose ends. We've seen the characters growing and changing, and we know them so well by now, that what happens in this chapter just feels natural. All the heavy, soul searching, questioning, gut-wrenching stuff came before and was all sorted out. Now all that's left is for them to get together already, and now you've given us the simple but well-earned happy ending the couple had coming.

Well done, Reg! Bravo on completing the herculean task of telling this story with so much heart and soul! Now all that remains is to see an epilogue... perhaps...?
