I TOSS AND TURN IN BED TRYING TO FIND A COMFORTABLE POSITION BUT TO NO AVAIL. IT IS NOW HALF PAST TEN THIS COLD FRIDAY NIGHT. I SHOULD BE ASLEEP SINCE IT'S NINETY MINUTES PAST MY CURFEW. NOT WANTING TO LIE IN BED ANY LONGER I GET UP AND WALK TO THE OTHER SIDE OF MY BEDROOM TOWARD MY DESK. STUDYING MIGHT MAKE THIS BOREDOM GO AWAY. I SIT ON MY AERON CHAIR AND TURN ON MY LAPTOP. AS I'M READING ABOUT MICHELANGELO AN AD ON THE SIDE OF THE WEBSITE CATCHES MY ATTENTION. 

DO YOU WANT TO MAKE SOME FRIENDS? WE HAVE SOMEONE WAITING FOR YOU ON DOPECHAT.COM 

I CLICK ON THE ADVERTISEMENT AND A NEW TAB OPENS UP. IT GREETS ME WITH A SIMPLE WELCOME IN BRIGHT GREEN LETTERS. IT ASKS IF I AM A MEMBER OR GUEST. AFTER CLICKING ON THE I AM A GUEST ICON THE PAGE CHANGES INTO A SIX QUESTION SURVEY.

USERNAME: KOOKIE

AGE: 17

GENDER: MALE

COUNTRY: SOUTH KOREA

EXTROVERT OR INTROVERT: INTROVERT

WHY DID YOU COME ON DOPECHAT: I WAS BORED

AFTER REGISTERING IT TELLS ME TO WAIT WHILE IT CONNECTS ME WITH SOMEONE. SIXTEEN SECONDS LATER I RECEIVE A MESSAGE.

PERFECTION9: HEY ;)

KOOKIE: HELLO.

PERFECTION9: ARE YOU A GUY OR A GIRL?

KOOKIE: I AM A MALE.

PERFECTION9: I'M A GIRL

KOOKIE: THAT'S NICE TO KNOW.

PERFECTION9: WANNA SHOW ME YOUR ?? ;)

KOOKIE HAS LEFT THIS CHAT ROOM

I CLICK ON THE FIND ME A FRIEND ICON AGAIN. ANOTHER FEW SECONDS PASS WHEN SOMEONE MESSAGES.

V: HI KOOKIE :D

KOOKIE: HELLO V

V: HOW ARE YOU?

KOOKIE: I'M GOOD. HOW ARE YOU?

V: I ATE A WHOLE CHOCOLATE CAKE SO I'M PEACHY

KOOKIE: YOU WERE ABLE TO EAT AN ENTIRE CAKE ALL BY YOURSELF?

V: YEP AND IT WAS DELICIOUS

KOOKIE: YOU MUST EAT LARGE PORTIONS REGULARLY.

V: NOT REALLY

KOOKIE: DRINK SOME WATER.

V:WILL DO. SO WHAT BRINGS YOU TO DOPECHAT??

KOOKIE: SLEEPLESSNESS. I'M ACTUALLY NOT SUPPOSED TO BE ON HERE.

V: WHY NOT?

KOOKIE: MY PARENTS DON'T LET ME DO THIS TYPE OF THING. ESPECIALLY SINCE YOU ARE A PERSON WHO LIVES OUT THERE.

V: WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?

KOOKIE: YOU LIVE JUST LIKE EVERYONE ELSE. YOU GO OUTSIDE AND DO WHAT EVERY OTHER PERSON DOES.

V: DO YOU NOT DO THAT? O.o

HOW SHOULD I RESPOND TO THAT? HONESTY IS THE BEST ANSWER.

KOOKIE: MY PARENTS DON'T LET ME LEAVE THE HOUSE. I'VE NEVER LEFT MY HOUSE IN ALL OF MY SEVENTEEN YEARS OF LIFE.

V: WHAT?! WHY?

KOOKIE: THEY KEEP ME ISOLATED AS A FORM OF PROTECTION. THEY DO NOT WANT MY MIND TO BECOME TAINTED. IT'S BECAUSE THEY WANT ME TO GO TO HEAVEN. 

V: OOH SO YOU HAVE CRAZY RELIGIOUS PARENTS

KOOKIE:THEY ARE NOT CRAZY. I AM AN ONLY CHILD SO THEY CAN BE A BIT OVERPROTECTIVE.

V: KEEPING YOU INSIDE YOUR HOUSE YOUR WHOLE LIFE IS NOT "A BIT". THERE'S TELEVISION PROGRAMS THAT CAN TAINT YOUR MIND. BESIDES YOU HAVE A COMPUTER.

KOOKIE: WE ONLY HAVE ONE TELEVISION AND IT IS IN MY PARENTS BEDROOM. ALSO WHEN I AM ON MY LAPTOP EITHER MY MOM OR DAD IS SITTING NEXT TO ME.

V: WHAT DO YOU DO ALL DAY?

KOOKIE: I STUDY MOST OF THE TIME.

V: AHH SO YOU'RE A NERD? I BET YOU HAVE THICK GLASSES, BOWL HAIRCUT, AND FACIAL BLEMISHES. YOU'RE PROBABLY FAT TOO. I MEAN YOU USERNAME IS KOOKIE SO IT MAKES SENSE.

KOOKIE: NO, I LOOK NOTHING LIKE THAT.

V: LIAR

KOOKIE: I AM NOT LYING! IT IS DISPLEASING TO GOD TO DO SUCH A THING. THAT IS A SIN V.

V: YOU SOUND EXACTLY LIKE THIS OLD RELIGIOUS LADY THAT IS ALWAYS BY THE GATE AFTER SCHOOL.

KOOKIE: SHOULD I BE OFFENDED?

V: NO. I'M ACTUALLY QUITE FOND OF THAT ELDERLY WOMAN BECAUSE SHE'S GIVEN ME FOOD A FEW TIMES.

KOOKIE: WHAT IS IT WITH YOU AND FOOD?

V: FOOD IS MY LIFE :)

KOOKIE: I CAN TELL. WHAT TYPE OF FOOD DO YOU LIKE MOST?

V: JAPCHAE!!

KOOKIE: IF WE EVER MEET IN PERSON I'LL MAKE SURE TO TAKE YOU OUT FOR SOME.

V: IS THAT A PROMISE?

KOOKIE: YES.

V: ARE YOU A GIRL?

KOOKIE: NO. SHOULDN'T YOU KNOW THAT THOUGH? THE GIRL I TALKED TO BEFORE ASKED ME THE SAME THING. I'M CERTAIN I PUT MY GENDER WHEN I SIGNED UP.

V: OKAY GOOD. AND WE CAN ONLY SEE YOUR USERNAME.

KOOKIE: HOW IS THAT GOOD?

V: SINCE YOU'VE NEVER LEFT YOUR HOUSE YOU MUST NOT KNOW A LOT. MANY GIRLS THESE DAYS THINK THAT IT IS A DATE IF YOU GO OUT TO EAT WITH THEM.

KOOKIE: WHAT IS A DATE?

V: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A DATE IS?

KOOKIE: NO.

V: I HAVEN'T GONE ON ONE, BUT I THINK IT'S WHEN TWO PEOPLE THAT LIKE EACH OTHER GO OUT TO EAT OR SEE A MOVIE.

KOOKIE: CAN PEOPLE DO THOSE THINGS WITHOUT IT BEING A DATE?

V: YEA THEY CAN.

KOOKIE: HOW DOES IT FEEL TO LIVE OUT THERE?

V: I'VE NEVER LIVED ANY OTHER WAY SO I WOULDN'T KNOW

KOOKIE: WHAT DO YOU DO FOR FUN?

V: I DO WHATEVER I WANT. I'M A FREE SPIRIT THAT CAN NOT BE CONTROLLED. I HAVE GOTTEN ARRESTED THOUGH. I WAS ONLY IN JAIL FOR THAT NIGHT. IT WAS BETTER THAN I THOUGHT IT WOULD BE. I KIND OF LIKED IT.

KOOKIE: MY PARENTS TOLD ME THAT ONLY BAD PEOPLE GET ARRESTED. ARE YOU A BAD PERSON?

V: I'M NOT A BAD PERSON. MY FRIEND NAMJOON AND I WERE MAKING AN ALUMINUM ROLL UP DOOR BEAUTIFUL BY ADDING SOME ART TO IT. I GUESS THE POLICE OFFICERS DIDN'T APPRECIATE OUR WORK.

KOOKIE: ARE YOU A PAINTER?

V: SOMETHING LIKE THAT

KOOKIE: DO YOU LIKE VINCENT VAN GOGH? HE'S MY FAVORITE PAINTER.

V: WHO?

KOOKIE: THE ARTIST. SINCE YOU SAID THAT YOU ARE SOMEWHAT A PAINTER I ASSUMED YOU LIKE VAN GOGH.

V: MY KNOWLEDGE ON ARTISTS ISN'T VERY BROAD.

KOOKIE: I SEE.

V: I'M HUNGRY

KOOKIE: BUT YOU ATE AN ENTIRE CAKE NOT TOO LONG AGO.

V: THAT WAS AGES AGO KOOKIE

KOOKIE: THAT WAS LESS THAN AN HOUR AGO.

V: IT FEELS LIKE IT'S BEEN FOREVER.

KOOKIE: DRINK WATER. THAT'S MORE HEALTHY.

V: WATER HAS NO FLAVOR

KOOKIE: ADD A SLICE OF LEMON.

V: I DON'T HAVE ANY

KOOKIE: I HEARD A DOOR CLOSE.

V: IT'S PROBABLY YOUR PARENTS. ARE THEY COMING TO YOUR ROOM?

KOOKIE: I BELIEVE SO.

V: YOU SHOULD GO TO BED

KOOKIE: I SHOULD.

V: HAVE A GOOD NIGHT'S REST KOOKIE

KOOKIE: YOU TOO.

V: WILL YOU BE BACK?

KOOKIE: DEFINITELY.

I QUICKLY TURN OFF MY LAPTOP AND GO TO BED. AS SOON AS I PULL THE DUVET COVER OVER MY BODY THE BEDROOM DOOR OPENS. I SHUT MY EYES AND PETEND TO SNORE.

"THE MONITOR MUST BE BROKEN. I COULD'VE SWORE IT SAID HE WAS ON AN UNKNOWN WEBSITE," MY MOTHER SAYS.

"LET'S GO BACK TO BED HONEY," FATHER RESPONDS.

THE DOOR SHUTS AND THE FOOTSTEPS RETREAT. THE CLOCK DISPLAYS ELEVEN-THIRTEEN. I THINK STAYING UP THIS LATE HAS EARNED ME A FRIEND.

A/N: Hello my darlings I hope you liked it

UNTIL NEXT TIME~
