Lucky For Once

Untitled Part 1

Bright lights greeted you with their cheeky flashes as you stood in front of the tall building. Giant neon letters spelled the two words 'Exo Planet' seemingly the name of this place. You stared at it for a while before you were urged to keep on walking. For some reason looking at the sign made you feel uneasy but you blamed it on the blinding light and shrugged it off.

Inside it was rather modest and less flashy. A blood red carpet and dark gray walls highlighted by thousands of lights. Music played softly in the background as your group stepped closer to the main hall. There various machines were aligned in rows that added to the sounds in the spacious room. At the same time groups of people surrounded the tables chatting away. Even though everything was designed to appeal and lure you in nothing in particular caught your eye. Usually you weren't interested in gambling but your friends had dragged you along. It was birthday wish and since you had trouble refusing people you agreed in the end.

Still rather indifferent you kept moving along while taking in your surroundings. "So Y/N! What do you wanna play first?" Your friend had asked grabbing your hand so you couldn't run off. Sighing you pondered her question for a while. Nothing you saw so far seemed too interesting and you actually hoped you could just watch the others play. Your group had other plans though. Taking another glance around the hall you scanned and considered your options carefully. Suddenly your eyes got caught at one of the many tables.

Feeling something lure you in, you made your way over to said table. The air around this exact place was different than in the rest of the establishment. Three men occupied some of the seats yet there was still enough room for two more players. Perfect. Nodding enthusiastically towards the empty spots you tried to get your friend's approval. She, being pleased that you finally decided for something, had already sat down so you quickly did the same. The rest of the group seemed to have dispersed, busying themselves with other fun activities.

Taking a look at the men next to you, there was certainly one that stood out letting the rest look blurry. Your eyes felt like they were glued to him so you started to analyzed his features. He had a tall, lean figure with fluffy reddish hair that surrounded his face perfectly. His eyes were dark and his lips pressed together into a thin line. No one that looked like him would lose so easily but that meant this would actually be a challenge. You had planned to play just for the heck of it and not to win the big prize but a little fair competition could be interesting. Yet in the end you were more intrigued by the man rather than the game itself.

It was hard to shift you attention away from him so your eyes were bound to meet sooner or later. And so they did. His stare pierced right through you as a playful smirk appeared on his lips. "If you keep staring at me any longer I might just fall for you." Chuckling he whispered the words startling you with his deep yet soft voice. "I'm Park Chanyeol by the way. What's your name, young lady? Or am I not allowed to know the name of my cute little stalker." Wondering if he was trying to flirt or insult you, you kept quiet for a while. What's wrong with this guy?

Noticing the one sided conversation going on between you and the mysterious man your friend butted in. "Oh that's Y/N and I'm Y/F/N. She's a little shy but besides that really sweet. Think you can explain the game to us?" Babbling on she nudged your side giggling as Chanyeol raised an eyebrow with interest. He was more than eager to lay out all the rules of this game. It was simple one person in the group would throw two dices and the rest was betting on the possible result. Whoever predicted the outcome right won the round. Your friend frowned upon hearing everything.

"Wow that sounds really...boring. Y/N don't you want to go play something else?" She pulled on your sleeve while urging you to leave. You biting your lip glanced one more time at the tall man next to you. What should you do? Stay or find another game to play? It's only your decision now. Choose wisely.
