2Yeon: Perception [Slow Updates]

Chapter 17

A/N: I recently started playing a beloved game I deleted a year ago ('cause my phone is shit and only enough has space for 2 games) and fell in love with it all over again. Games, reading, and TWICE are the only things keeping me from breaking down since my studies are piling up again.

The video is probably my most favorite out of all the performances from different countries. There's 2:34 where Nayeon pulls Jeongyeon towards her and 2:41 where they look like they're actually kissing. I nearly died ngl

P.S. I honestly had no idea what else to put in this chapter and I could have done better with it but I hope it's not that bad.

...

Day 5

"Where are we going this time?" Jeongyeon asked as she strapped herself into the car seat.

It was the first time in the week Nayeon came during the afternoon. Jeongyeon didn't bother asking why, she doesn't mind. She wasn't one to be clingy and understood the need for a little space. Besides, she didn't want to come off as desperate. The downside was that she couldn't execute her plan for Day 5 so she'll have to come up with something else on the spot.

It was kind of stupid to not ask Nayeon ahead what they'd be doing for the day since her plan involved them staying in her house, have a romantic dinner where she cooks something for the both of them. Lately, she'd been helping out with her father whenever he cooks dinner for them and even asked him to teach her a recipe. Oh, well, there's always next time, she thought.

"It's been a while since I've gone to a karaoke," Nayeon started, turning on the engine. "I can't remember if we ever went together before, it was always me and Jihyo who would go."

Jeongyeon raised a brow. "You do know we're technically on a break from dancing and singing, right?"

Nayeon rolled her eyes. "Oh, come on. Don't be such a killjoy. We went pottery making yesterday, something you've wanted to do for a long time. It's my turn to do something I've always wanted to do, which is go to a karaoke with you. It's only fair."

"Fine," Jeongyeon acquiesced, rolling her eyes. "But don't expect me to sing a lot."

"That's alright, I can sing for you instead," Nayeon turned to her and winked in an exaggerated manner with her mouth open.

"Unnie, eyes on the road!"

...

The place Nayeon chose was only a fifteen minute drive from her house. It was a quaint little club with the only source of illumination coming from strip lights and smelled like sweat and alcohol. Jeongyeon scrunched her nose at the stench lingering in the air and pulled her mask up to fully cover her nose. She was relieved to find they weren't going to stay in the area and was instead dragged by Nayeon upstairs where the upper floor lobby was more pleasant with better lighting. She could hear a cacophony of people singing from the hallway, the walls not being able to contain their voices.

"How did you know about this place, unnie?" Jeongyeon said in a low voice.

"I had a friend mention it once but that we'd have to go through that club to get here," Nayeon said, smiling apologetically.

They approached the reception desk where a bored looking teenager sat, her head propped up on her hand and ready to fall asleep anytime. Nayeon conversed with her for a while, at some point pulling out a small wad of cash from her tote bag to give to the receptionist then was given a key with a wooden tag connected to it and a number carved into the wood. She thanked the receptionist and led Jeongyeon down the hallway, turning right on a corner until they reached a door that had the same number on the tag. There was a sign on the door that said "VIP Only".
