You Belong With Me | Jeongcheol Fanfic

Chapter 30

The next day, Jeonghan and Seungcheol found themselves at the local arcade, joined by the rest of their lively friend group: Seungkwan, Hansol, Mingyu, Wonwoo, Dino, Seokmin, Jisoo, and Jihoon. The air buzzed with excitement and the sounds of games beeping and coins clinking filled the room.

"Alright, who's ready to lose?" Mingyu said with a playful smirk, cracking his knuckles as he eyed the basketball arcade game.

"You wish," Seungkwan shot back, already heading for the dance machine with Hansol beside him. "Hansol and I are about to destroy this place."

"Let's see what you've got!" Hansol laughed, joining Seungkwan, both of them exchanging grins as they prepared to compete in a dance-off.

While the group scattered around the arcade, Jeonghan stayed by Seungcheol's side, watching the excitement unfold. Seokmin and Jisoo were huddled together at a claw machine, laughing as they tried to win a stuffed animal, while Dino was already hyper-focused on a racing game, steering wildly with a determined expression.

"Think you can beat me at anything here?" Jeonghan teased, nudging Seungcheol lightly.

Seungcheol grinned, a mischievous glint in his eye. "Let's see. How about air hockey?"

"Oh, it's on," Jeonghan said, leading the way to the air hockey table.

As they squared off, the rest of the group cheered them on, surrounding the table as the puck flew back and forth between them. Seungcheol was quick, his reflexes sharp, but Jeonghan was sly, using clever angles to trick him.

"Come on, Seungcheol! You got this!" Dino yelled.

"Don't let him win, Jeonghan!" Seokmin shouted from the sidelines, still clutching the stuffed animal he and Jisoo finally won.

The match was intense, with both of them refusing to back down. Finally, Jeonghan made a sneaky shot, sending the puck flying past Seungcheol and into his goal.

"Yes!" Jeonghan pumped his fist, grinning victoriously.

Seungcheol shook his head, laughing. "I let you have that one."

"Sure you did," Jeonghan teased back, winking.

Meanwhile, Mingyu couldn't stop glancing over at Wonwoo, who was quietly playing a retro game in the corner. Every time Wonwoo focused on the screen, Mingyu felt his heart race just a little faster. He couldn't explain it, but there was something about Wonwoo that drew him in.

"You okay over there?" Hansol asked, nudging Mingyu with a knowing smirk. "You've been staring at him for a while."

Mingyu blinked, trying to play it cool. "What? No, I'm just...checking out the game."

Hansol just chuckled, shaking his head. "Sure, man. Sure."

As the evening went on, the group laughed and competed, the energy high as they moved from game to game. Seungkwan and Hansol showed off their dance moves, Dino and Jihoon teamed up for a shooting game, and Seokmin and Jisoo continued to win ridiculous amounts of prizes from the claw machine.

By the end of the night, they all gathered around the photo booth, cramming inside to take silly group pictures.

As the group approached the photo booth, they noticed a bin of props nearby, and immediately, their excitement doubled.

"We definitely need to spice these photos up," Seungkwan said with a grin, diving into the bin to grab a pair of oversized sunglasses and a feather boa.
