Anxiousness danced like a second skin. To Yoongi, the distracting thrumming reminded him that things could go great or go south.
The Royal Game Center was loud and overwhelming. With bright neon lights and robotic sounds, the arcade was the perfect place to keep his mind focused on one thing. His vice of choice was jumping past barrels as a tiny pixelated plumber.

Right. Right. Climb. Climb.
The MusicVision Composer's Contest was creeping in, and so were the inevitable doubts. He settled on two songs as his top entries. One as a first choice, and a second, just in case he chickened out on the former. In his opinion, they were good. Catchy even. But were they winning material?

Door chimes jingled, and a high school couple entered, hands entwined. Yoongi glanced and noticed that the girl seemed blue. It was no business of his, but he listened in while he continued his game. The girl soon giggled, he noted, after her boyfriend placed two squares of seaweed chips in his mouth, making him look like a duck.
"I'm gonna miss this. You. Us. But it's all good," she forced a smile. "SNU is a great school, and you worked so hard to get in."
The boyfriend looked with furrowed brows. "Jagiya, don't worry," he reassured. "We'll call often, and- and I'll still send my good morning texts."
Hm. He's a good boyfriend. Yoongi mentally praised.
"I don't want to be a burden. You have school work and a part-time job to pay for your tuition."
The boyfriend squeezed the girl's hand in comfort. "I don't have to worry about that anymore. My parents sold the family property in Gyeongsan. I can afford the tuition now."
Yoongi turned back to his game, and his eyes widened at the incoming barrel. Watch out! Jump!
"Shit!" he cursed under his breath as little Mario spun and died. He tapped on the button for another round. "Again."
