What? (SB19 X OC Story)
2/100%
Pablo
"Okay, so you're saying that the Wattpad punished you for creating and deleting stories?"
Nami
We were at Pablo's workplace, which is a cafe and computer shop. I told them about what happened earlier.
Nami
I know, it's definitely crazy. I didn't believe at first. But...
Nami
I received a task.
Nami
They might think I'm crazy but, nah. They knew me if I'm serious or not, I guess?
Nami
Ugh! Whatever! I just hope they would believe this absurdity.
Nami
"Yeah..."
Stell
"And that punishment is to revive all of those deleted stories within 100 days?"
Nami
"They were already revived, technically. But I have to finish them," I answered to Stell, my eyes already shining with excitement.
Nami could only roll her eyes while thinking about how Stell is enjoying her misfortune.
Stell
"How is everything?"
Nami
"Yes!"
He was about to scream out of excitement but his expression instantly changed into a serious one.
Stell
"Are you kidding us?"
Nami could only pat her face with her palm, repressing her annoyance.
Nami
I knew it, they won't believe me.
Nami
"See this?" I showed them my phone with my list of stories displayed.
Stell
"Is that Wattpad? Woah, it's different? Come on! I should update mine too!"
Nami
"Tss. That's exclusive to me. Only for those with missions."
Nami
You wouldn't want to be like this, Stell.
Stell
"Tss. Okay Nami! Whether you're lying or not, I'm into this! As long as you finish your stories! Woooh!"
Pablo
"I'm in. It looks like you guys can't do it alone. It's too risky for me, Nami. We don't know if someone just wants to prank you."
Nami
"Well, you checked my phone too. You didn't find any leads, right?"
Pablo could only heave a deep sigh.
Nami
"See this task? Mukha bang prank 'to?"
Nami shoved her phone towards the two where it shows the task given by the app.

PUNISHMENT: DLINT JERCY REYES OF TILALUHA WILL BRING SHEVI DIVAR aka @PRESIDENTJOSH19 INSIDE THE STORY.
Pablo
"Inside the story? What does it mean?"
Nami
"That's what I'm also confused with, Pablo. It's impossible for them to bring Shevi into my story. It's nothing but words after all."
Stell
"But, who's Shevi? Why is she involved here?"
Nami
"My precious friend when I was in junior high school. She is also a wattpad author like me."
Nami
"He also has an ongoing story that hasn't been updated in a long time."
Nami
Unfortunately, he got caught up in this, probably because of his updated story.
Pablo
"Doesn't he know about What?"
Nami
We decided to address this whole task as What? so no one else would know. It's hard to be affected.
Nami
After all, Wattpad 2.0 is also called What?
Nami
"I doubt it. He finished a one-shot story and he didn't delete his story even though he updated it last year."
Pablo
"Nami, it's not that I don't want to believe you, but this is too illogical. Do we really have to spend time on this?"
Nami
"I was actually thinking of the same thing over and over again, but I won't dare to be complacent on this."
Nami
"My stories were there, Pablo. It's too surreal. It's hard to regret it later."
Pablo
"Fine, suit yourself. Nothing to lose if we're careful. You just need to complete the tasks, right?"
Nami just responded with a nod. Then, Stell and Pablo both read the task again.
Stell
"This is tougher than I thought. Writing five chapters would be a piece of cake for Nami, but gaining 150 views..."
Nami
I know. It's impossible.
Nami
I have more than 100 followers in wattpad and most of them are inactive.
Nami
I never asked for follow back, vote, comments and such because I find it nonsense.
Nami
If you gained those perks out of pity or request, then the story is not that great. It's all a facade.
Nami
For me, a great story doesn't depend on the number of views, votes, comments or the followers of the author.
Nami
It depends on the content - its essence, particularly.
Nami
But for this task, I have to sway that resolution. Crap.
Pablo
"We need to think about how to promote Nami's story. What about Facebook groups?"
Stell
"No way, it'll just be overshadowed by jejemon and SPG stories. Nami's story is too professional for those groups. Haha!"
Nami
Still stupid. Ts
Stell
"How about asking Shevi's help? Maybe she could help us gain new readers."
Nami
"Shevi is a very busy person. We might be a nuisance."
Pablo
"Her life is at risk Nami. I don't know what does it mean by going inside the story, but we must not compromise her safety."
Nami
"No. I don't want her to get involved in this, Paulo. And besides, how can we explain these to her? She might think I'm crazy."
Stell
"Ugh! Suit yourself. But if there's no choice, ask for her help already. Just put up some alibis. Para sa project, ganun. Hehe."
Nami
I just nodded. I have to think of a way to gain views instantly.
Nami
"Computer shop. Coffee shop." I uttered as I took a glance around.
Nami
What can I do to make these advantageous for me?
Nami
Damnation! That's it!
Nami
"Pablo! Take care!"
Stell
"Putspa! Don't be surprised, Nami! I'll attack you!"
Pablo just laughed a little and patted Stell's back to calm her down.
Pablo
"What are you saying, Nami?"
Nami
"Can you make pop-ups like this on the PCs here? I mean, the ones that renters can't hide? Like that?"
Pablo
"Uhh, yeah. I did that to notify them of their remaining rent time. Why?"
Nami
Bingo!
Nami
"We only have less than 7 hours to spare. I'm going to type the stories within 3 hours. "
Nami
"And you two have to create a pop-up in computers with the link of my story on it. Can you do that for me?"
Stell
"Of course!"
Pablo
"Yeah, sure. Fire away."
Stell
"Wait, pero pano yung coffee shop Nami? Can we use that to promote your story too?"
Nami
It would be better if we can use the coffee shop na rin.
Pablo
"I know."
Pablo
"We can use the coffee shop's wi-fi for this."
Pablo
"I will change the password to a name that is related to your story Nami, specifically in the next five chapters."
Nami
"Will people buy that?"
Pablo
"Oh come on Nami! People are seeking for thrill. And we're going to give them that."
Nami
"This better be off to good."
Nami turned her laptop on with nervousness in mind. She quickly type Wattpad's URL and clicked 'Create new part.'
Thanks to Pablo's cafe and computer shop, this mission might stand a chance.
