"Are you sure about this? You know you could die from this... right?"
He took a deep breath and let his head hang low as he thought about the doctor's words.
"Yes, I know... but I'll do anything for him, even if it means I'll die"

Riki cut himself off with a laugh. Sunghoon could barely contain his own laughter as he watched Sunoo struggle with the rhythm game. The song blasted through the speakers but Sunoo's screaming definitely blasted Sunghoon's eardrums. They had just arrived at the arcade and it was the biggest one in Seoul. It consisted of three levels, the first level had your typical arcade games where you win tickets and get prizes. The second level was where the rhythm games and claw machines were, which was where Riki, Sunghoon and Sunoo were currently located. The third level was Riki's favourite, VR games, but Sunoo wanted to try out the rhythm games first.
Which landed them here, Sunoo struggling while Riki laughs his ass off.
"Ahh, I just chose a hard song! I swear the next one will be better-"
Riki was very close to just falling and rolling across the floor, drowning in laughter. Sunghoon wiped the tears at the outer corners of his eyes and clutched his stomach.
"Sunoo-yah, let's go try that drum one. I think it'll be easier"
Sunghoon made sure he wasn't in the camera frame as he pat Sunoo's shoulder. Sunoo gratefully smiled up at him, mentally regretting ever meeting Riki and agreeing to bring him over from Japan. Sunghoon took his hand and pulled him to the other rhythm game he mentioned. Two large drums were placed side-by-side in front of a screen. Sunghoon slots four coins into the machine and instructions begin showing on the screen.
"Red means hit the centre... blue means hit the rim... small circles mean hit softly and big circles mean hit harder"
Sunoo mumbled to himself as he read the instructions.
"Long yellow notes means drum roll... okay! I'm ready!!"
Sunghoon chuckled and selected a song that sounded nice as he didn't know many Japanese songs. Riki took the camera and began holding it while filming. The song began pretty well, both Sunoo and Sunghoon were hitting notes on time. Riki stood behind them and filmed the game as it played out. The song sped up a bit and they both still hit the notes well. The song ended and the scores were being calculated.
"If Sunoo hyung beats Sunghoon hyung, I'll pay for his lunch tomorrow"
Riki mumbled behind the camera, just barely loud enough for the other two boys to hear. The numbers tally on the screen and Sunoo comes out on top, beating Sunghoon by two hundred points.
