━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
A few games had caught their eye. And specifically for Nari, it was mostly the claw machine ones. Her eyes lit up at the sight of a certain plush in one of the claw machines. A plush in the form of a cat covered in brown spots had caught her attention the most. She immediately sauntered over to it, her hands mindlessly wandering to the control panel.
Her actions caused a halt in Jungwon's walking, his head turning to the side to see where Nari was going. An unkowing smile crept onto his lips at the sight of her excitement over such a small thing.
"You do know those are rigged, right?" He questioned her in amusement.
"Let me live in my little delusions, Yang Jungwon." She turned to face him, "Unless you want to help?" She let out, not really expecting him to agree but to her suprise, he did.
He walked over behind her, guiding her hands back to the console, catching her off guard as she widened her eyes slightly. "Fine, which one do you want?" He nonchalantly asked, while Nari could only stutter a bit as she looked at his hands on tops of hers.
"U-um the cat—to the corner over there." She managed to answer, still taken aback by the sudden skinship. He hummed once his eyes landed on the one she was talking about, guiding her hands on the console towards it.
"You do know you don't have to play boyfriend when my parents aren't here, right?" Nari reminded him, feeling the small breaths he emitted fan against her hair as he was still behind her.
"I'm not playing, though? Now shush, I'm trying to focus." He simply replied, moving the console more, unaware of the effect his words had on her. Or did he?
She mentally rolled her eyes, "I swear, you've been so flirtatious recently." She mumbled quickly under her breath for him not to hear.
The both of them watched in anticipation as the claw made it's way above the cat plush. Once it was directly above, Jungwon pressed down on the button to grab it, feeling Nari's hand underneath his as he did so.
As it made its way to the slot to drop itself in, Nari was anticipating with all her being that it would drop into the slot.
And by some miracle, it did.
"Oh my god." Her eyes gleamed with excitement as she took it from the slot slightly beneath the claw machine. An unknowing smile crept up on Jungwon's lips at the excited expression on her face.
"Hey, don't I deserve some credit?" Jungwon raised a brow.
"Jungwon," she breathed, looking up to meet his gaze, "the only thing you'll be getting credit for is forcing me to study all day." She proceeded to wander off to the other games, a small grin on her face, as a scoff was heard from Jungwon.
The boy ended up having to catch up with the girl as she wandered over to random games she was in the mood to play. "Why did you want it anyway?" He asked in curiosity. She shrugged in response, her eyes still on the game she was playing. "You have weird taste." He added on, tone lightly provoking her. Due to him distracting her, she missed an obstacle in the game and it ended, making her patience quickly disintegrate by the second.
She let out a scoff, "Yet you still helped me? I know deep down you find it cute." She countered.
He playfully rolled his eyes, "I helped you because you wouldn't be able to get it without my help."
"I shouldn't have let your ego go this high." She clicked her tongue, lightly shaking her head as he snickered, a lopsided grin on his face.
If only the two knew there was someone eyeing them not far from where they were standing, listening to their small conversations and bickering.
