"Do you like Byeol?"
Seungcheol threw him a disgusted look, slapping the back of his head. "T-that's like liking a- a sister! Hell nah!"
"Okay..." Jeonghan looked down, aw...
It was Sunday, the day after the Halloween event at their university, and both Byeol and Seungcheol were at the biggest arcade they could find, wanting to get their minds off of the exams. The best friends were leaning against the counter, Seungcheol waiting for the employee to fill his card, while Byeol fiddled with the sticker label on her lip gloss. "Can we go shopping later? This is about to expire in a few days."
Byeol showed him the lip gloss, to which he nodded. "Sure. I also have to buy my mom something for her birthday."
"3000 coins have been added to your card," The employee said, grabbing Byeol and Seungcheol's attention and making them get off the counter, "Check your balance, sir."
Seungcheol swiped the card on the device, seeing 3017 show up on the tiny screen. They thanked the employee before scurrying off to the actual games. There was a little platform connected to a big screen display with the title 'Moves Mania' on the top. "Cheol, look. I wanna dance there."
Byeol dragged him to the machine, snatching the card and swiping it on the device. The screen lit up, an array of colors blinding the two. 'Show us what you got!' (show me what u got boi -wonwoo)in bold letters appeared, and the two proceeded to follow the instructions. Byeol looked around, seeing a small crowd form around them, "Oh no-"
"They finally made one where the moves are actually accurate to the real choreography." Seungcheol mused, taking off his varsity jacket so he could move better. The best friends spent almost 30 minutes on the dance machine alone, the crowd cheering around them. The audience only increased, which caused Byeol to lose focus because of all the eyes on her and miss a few steps, gaining her only an A while Seungcheol got A+ as their scores. "Beat you."
"Yeah yeah."

Almost an hour had passed, and the two found themselves lurking in the basketball section, which obviously excited the girl. "I-"
"I know." Seungcheol sighed, trailing behind her as she happily approached the columns of machines before settling on the rightmost one. She looked at her best friend, furrowing her brows when he swiped his card on the one beside hers before doing the same to hers. "You're also playing?"
