Jin pov (Flashback to when he was 10)
The sun hovers over my back as I walk down the street with my parents. My mother smiles at me cheerfully on my left side while my father reaches out for his wallet on my right.
"Jin, do you want to play this game?" My mother asks as she points to the claw machine.
"Yes! I figured out how to beat the system." I explain as I roll up my sleeves.
"Beat the system?" My dad raises his eyebrows and I nod my head.
"Yeah, this thing is evil." I take the coins from my dad's hand. "All it wants is your money and it won't stop at anything until it has it."
"Okay kiddo. Show me what you got." My dad laughs while ruffling my hair.
"No problem because I'm a boss!" I yell as I hit start. The machine dings as the gears begin to move and I clutch the metal rod that guides the claw for dear life. My eyes are trained on the pink dinosaur stuffed animal.
To the left...
A little bit over...
I inch the claw closer and closer until I know that it's in range. Then, I slam my hand down on the button for the claw to snatch up my prize. I cheer along side my parents as it gets dropped into the hole and I pick it.
They're about to start walking again when I stop them. "Dad, can I have some money to get a prize for Jimin too?"
"How sweet of you. I bet you he'd like that when he gets back from his field trip." My mother says. My dad fishes through his wallet again and gives me a few more coins for me to play.
I breath out and focus on the claw. "You see the secret to winning is..."I press the start button. "You just have to relax, focus and take your time."
I win Jimin a stuffed cat with big rosy cheeks and skip away with my parents following close behind me. "Wait up,Jin!" My mother catches up with me. "Stay with us. There's a lot of people out today and we don't want you getting lost."
I pout, but nod my head. "Okay, but can we get ice cream?" My mother smiles at me.
"Anything for you my love." My mother says as she pinches my cheeks. I shiver at her affection, but don't pull away because I secretly enjoy the attention.

"Boy, I'm exhausted." My dad says as he kicks his shoes off at the front door. "That sun zapped the energy right out of me."
"Are you sure it's not just because you're getting old." I say bluntly and my Dad's laugh echos through the hallway.
"It might be." He picks me up and throws me over his shoulders. "Or it could be from having to chase after you every two seconds." He spins me around and I scream as the walls and floor begin to blur together.
"Put me down!" I yell as I pound on his back. After a few more spins he sets me down and I stumble on my feet and almost tip over. "Now, I'm all dizzy."
"Oh, looks like our little cupcake can't handle you." My mother teases and I stomp my feet.
"Hey! Yes, I can."
She raises her shoulders, "Whatever you say." I roll my eyes and walk into the kitchen."What are you doing now?"
"I'm going to cook some noodles." I answer as my parents stare at each other baffled.
