《Smiling Chaos》Chapter 17
Advertisement
Mr Gong walked lazily into the IT server room.He was really tired.He had not gotten a descent night's rest for the past four days.He had been working on the virus back to back and right now he feels like he just ran from Mars barefooted while carrying Jupiter.
But it's all his fault.He should not have pitched to Principal Park that there is a snake when the snake is not even existing at all.It's like saying he has Ares s statue when infact he only has a lump of clay which in this case is a detailed explanation of the snake s features, the template of features and his knowledge in constructing.Of course he didn't say that the snake was ready but it was sort of implied in how he presented the matter to Principal Park.
Anyway he opened the door handle slowly feeling as if the cold metal had sharp spikes on it. The reason is that he had downed so much coffee that his metabolism is sky high so most definitely he will release heat and feel unnaturally hot.He forced his hand to remain on the handle as he pushed the handle down and the door as well and he walked inside.
The IT room is always cold to help cool the computers incases they overheat.
As he walked inside he felt the chilly air rushing into his bones and he almost shivered a little.He closed the door by pushing it with the other hand holding his bag.All the while he didn't turn at all.The sound of the hovering of the CPUs on the table were the only thing accompanying the silence in the room.There was no one here because it was still really early.Most lecturers haven't even shown up to work.One could tell by the ample parking spaces at the underground parking lot.
Anyway it's not like he cares who comes and who doesn't.The only person he is concerned about right now is MinGi because they have been working on this together since Monday and it's Friday.So he had to make sure that MinGi doesn't mess up , since they split up the project amongst each other. He got the bulk of the work for obvious reasons.His head is the one on the guillotine, figuratively speaking
He knows that MinGi has a bit more indepth knowledge in these virus things and other things about the OS.So he is the only one in SeJun he can trust to help him.Yes MinGi is not that reputed in the field but it's not like Goong can enlist anybody else's help.

That being the case,Gong and MinGi have been pulling all nighters for this snake and so far they have covered a month s work.That is really impressive however there is a lot more that they have to do because pythons are like storms,things can get out of hand very quickly and the aftermath can get pretty ugly pretty fast.And because they are dealing with a reputable university s servers,there can't be any mistakes ,any unforeseen circumstances,any screw-ups.Nothing of the sort.Basically they have to be prefect.And how can one achieve perfection when taming a monster like this.Well Gong and MinGi are about to attempt the impossible.They are about to do a make or break deal with the devil and there is no room for retakes.Talk about pressure.
He walked over to one of the computers and threw his body on the chair.As soon as he landed on it, he proceeded to place his bag on the floor and entertwine his finger behind his head.Instantly that happened he closed his eyes and ticked back and forth on the chair.He smiled to himself because he was so comfortable but then his smile was replaced by indifrence because he remembered that he has to work.He sighed heavily and lowered his arms from the back of his head on to the table and drummed his fingers several times on the table before he reached for his bag..
He removed the laptop from his bag and a small thumb drive.He has to use the encrypted thumb drive for this project for reasons obvious and also he uses his person PC because he doesn't how volatile the snake is so better safe than sorry.
He switched on the PC and connected the thumb drive and he proceeded to command prompt.The rest is data science.
He pressed a lot of butons and loaded a lot of features into and out of the drive
Ten minutes later, someone opened the door and steeped into the room.Gong was focused on the screen that he didn't even bother checking who it was but it was quite obvious.
MinGi collapsed similarly into the chair a few feet from Gong as Gong had done when he got in the room.MinGi looked at Gong who was already so focused on his screen.He also proceeded to take out his laptop from his bag too.He opened the PC and began hitting a few buttons.
"Am ready.You can load him to me", remarked MinGi without taking his eyes off the screen.He was also very tired because he worked twice as hard as Gong did.Yes it was partly due to the pressure from Principal Park and Gong but a huge part of it was for self gratification.He never wants to be that person who is unreliable and selfish.So he is willing to be clip off his wings so someone else can fly.Its embedded in him to people-please.Its a lonely thing to do but it's how he has always been.

Gong looked at him in confusion.
"What do you mean?" He kind of could guess it but he doesn't want to believe it.
" I managed to create him and load him into your thumb drive.Remeber you gave me acess so that we work off one drive so it's easier to manipulate",he answered could cooly.And that's another thing about MinGi, he tends to take things really lightly.He never gives anything the seriousness it deserves unless it's about someone else Basically had their positions been swapped now, MinGi would have threw a banquet in Gong s honour.He could take straight As at school and brush it off like it was nothing but if it was someone else he would shouted it to the whole world.Once again its not clear why he is like that.But since he is so good at hiding it,no one has actually noticed that he doesn't pride himself enough, well atleast not in the way he deserves
" Are you saying...",Gong couldn't believe what MinGi is trying to tell him because it just isn't believable.How is it that MinGi could have done all that by himself.
"Yes, green cobra is active",he said calmly but proceeded to smile not because he had shocked Gong but because he felt Going s mod lighten.
"The devil is a liar !!! Song MinGi!!",as he said this as he stood up and placed his hand on his waist and another on his mouth.He really was flabbergasted.He thought he would have to explain to Principal Park that the snake is this and that but nooo! Computer genius Song MinGi had just gave birth to the most detrimental , product of imagination , self contained and independent existing entity in just three days!! It takes months to create only one feature of this snake and he just made a whole entity in three days!!!
Gong giggled in disbelief.He started to shiver not because of the cold but because he is so intimidated by the throne-worthy geek in the room.Once again the question he had asked himself so many times but failed to pose to MinGi comes flooding into his mind. why on earth is it that Song MinGi, a smart lad like this came to work for a university like SeJun.Maybe it's for internship but for how long? MinGi has been here for two years.And right now Gong wonders if MinGi isn't the father of computer science. Anyway that doesn't matter, this young lad just slashed his problem like it was nothing and he sits here so calmly.How prideful and envy-provoking
"I can't believe what you are telling me... Song MinGi!!" he said still in one position and his eyes were getting teary beacuse of how much awe he was in...
MinGi giggled and proceeded to stand up as he heard Gong almost choke on his words and as he did that Gong lost his balance and MinGi quickly caught him and supported him on the chair. As soon as Gong landed on the chair like a heavy sack of pumpkins, MinGi laughed even more and this gave Gong even more chills.He felt like he was in the presence of an evil mastermind, but the good kind...Do those even exist?
"What are you laughing at?This is a technological achievement ,never before heard of in the history of programming.You birthed a monster in three days!!" as he said this he placed his arm in the table and supported his head.He still could not comprehend what is going on, he even felt like he was lying to himself. Gong could feel tiny spasms in his hand and as such he put it out and it was shaking.He was trembling. As both of them saw this they laughed softly but for different reasons.MinGi felt heroic and Gong felt the earth spinning.
"Are you okay?",he asked rhetorically whilst laughing.Gong looked so funny when shocked .It's like he woke up to find his backyard having roses blooming pure diamonds..So surreal.
"I should be asking you that!",mocked Gong as felt that MinGi s brain should be hurting from this much thinking.Moreover he practically just curved his own name in the books of history.
MinGi felt really satisfied to have such an impact on Gong.He deserves a pat on the back for this.
"So we can begin testing today but I think it should work fine as you have DETAILEDLY explained", MinGi said while still standing next to Gong.
"Mhhm?",Gong arched his eyebrows then turned his head and gawked at MinGi.As he did that MinGi walked back to his chair and repeated what he said earlier

How to Save a Star [BxB]
“Do you know that stars die?” I asked, breaking the silence. I didn't know where the question came from, but that's the only thing that came to mind. “Yeah,” he answered. “And some stars we see in the sky may be already dead. But they're so far away that their afterglow can still be seen above. Some of them may seem glowing but they’re truly dead.” We all have a little gallery of photographic memories inside our hearts. An exhibit of things we could never forget through our short moments in time.

The beginning of my life ended on my tenth birthday, the day when my childhood was stolen away from me.

Distant Leaps to Circinus
A dark fantasy story that takes place on a reborn Earth. "With all the planets in the universe, it just had to be this one." Not many thoughts came to mind when scientists said they could provide the Earth with nearly infinite power. Humans could only think about the future, after all: they could travel to the farthest reaches of space, never worry about their electric bills again, and give rise to new and innovative technologies. With such good outcomes on the horizon, there was no way humanity would sit idle; instead, they studied perhaps the most powerful entity in the entire Milky Way. It seemed that, after its appearance decades ago, the strange and unmoving black sphere was something of a godsend. There will always be a reason for these things. With one touch, our very reality was but a grain of sand in an hourglass. In an instant, the Earth was gone - replaced by something… different. More than a century later, Earth’s remains have reformed into a completely different beast - a planet both alive and dead at the same time. Physics that were once understood no longer made sense, giant land masses floated in the sky, and billions of people fought for their very survival. Work, sleep, and play were no more; it was time for the world, Circinus, to reign. The birth of Circinus could only be the beginning. The powerful yet ever-elusive black sphere seemed to watch the world from afar - casting light for those below, but never truly emitting light from itself. What does it all mean for the children of Circinus - children born with eyes that seemed to stare into God’s heart?
