My Nerf Neighbour

🔫6🔫

All of us gathered in the centre, splitting into our teams. Me, Sunoo, Jungwon and Sunghoon, while the other three were together. I stood at the very front of my team's little triangle, stancing like a panther about to pounce, and smirked across of me.

Heeseung did back, his own as wide as mine. This could be one of the ultimate nerf war moments in our book, and there was no way I was losing this one.

"Everyone, ready?" Heeseung called out, and we all nodded. Heeseung gave a small nod back, before counting down.
My heart anticipated excitedly as his mouth moved, and I grinned at the energetic feeling.

"3.."

"2..."

I gripped my gun tightly, my heel ready to turn.

"1...."

Heeseung and I shared one last glance, but neither of us knew this would be the moment where chaos was going to happen.

"GO!"

I ran, sprinting all the way to all the hiding spots I knew. As teams, which ever team had the most members that win, gets free ice cream from the opponent they face. Mine was at an advantage, since we had four members. But those three guys alone were really good, so it was still a challenge.

Ducking into a bush further away from the court, I missed a near shot of water travelling my direction, and the squirt hit the tree trunk.
Standing up, I gave a big fat L to Heeseung, who narrowed his eyes while getting ready his gun again.

In the nick of time, I managed to escape and found myself somewhere at the fountain in the middle of the park. In the distance, I could see Jungwon pacing back and forth quietly, looking around and aiming his gun, like a tiger hunting its pray.

Jay was probably the least expected to be a nerf war player. And I could tell in Jungwon's eyes, he was surely very much enjoying this.
Needing to do something, I started searching for the others. Sunoo and Niki couldn't have gone far..and Sunghoon too.

Maybe if I checked-

"SHIT!"

My head jerked to the source, and Sunghoon came trudging towards me, with Heeseung a few metres away, smirking. My jaw hung when I noticed the big, drenched spot on the back of Sunghoon's clothes.

"That nerfy jerk did not-" I gasped, and scrunched up my nose in Heeseung's direction. Sunghoon sighed and plopped himself on the bench, and I placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Don't worry, brother. I will avenge you!" I assured, and he laughed, slapping my ass.

"Go get that neighbour of yours a piece of my mind."

I strided across the court, following the path Heeseung took as he ran off, probably knowing I was coming after him. While glancing around, I made sure to be cautious in case he jumped out of nowhere.

"YES! Thought I was sooo done right?" Sunoo's cheer came from my left, and I grinned proudly realising he had won against Niki.

The taller just scoffed, but a small smirk played on his lips as his gaze trailed Sunoo's movements while the headed back to the court.

Oh, that hubby of mine might just make his viral crush fall for him.

I gave Sunoo a thumbs up and he grinned back, but it dropped slightly when he shouted, "Jungwon lost!"

My surprise was visible even while running. Oh, damn.

I ran ahead, trying to find the bambi lurking in the woods (park). I reached a pretty clear ground, it was a wide space with almost no grass in the middle, and trees surrounded the area.
