Chapter 4: Arcade

[SMEB/ SONG KYUNG-HO]

Wang-ho held me in his little and skinny arms as I sniffled. I felt safe and warm resting against his chest.

"Wang-ho...my eyes are puffy and all, how do I explain that to my teammates?" I ask Wang-ho, who started thinking for a second, before replying with a cheeky smile.

"You could fake sneeze and say that you're having allergies!" he chirped.

I couldn't help but crack a smile.

Heck, he's smart...

But Hyeokkie is still smarter.

"Okay, let's go back hyung!" Wang-ho started to tug on my shirt for me to get up.

"Thanks again, Wang-ho..." I mumble to him while standing up, as he suddenly hugged me and buried his head in my shoulder. How could the "Kyung-ho" in this universe reject this littlw ray of sunshine?

As we entered the room, I could watched Sang-hyeok from the corner of my eye. His eyes never left me and Wangho. I should be convincing myself that Sang-hyeok is looking at me because he liked me, but I won't lie to myself, this isn't my Hyeokkie, it's Sang-hyeok. The Sang-hyeok who is in love with a Wang-ho, not me.

And it hurts, it really does. Even for me to just think about it, it makes my heart ache.

"Hyung."

I saw Alpaca slowly coming closer to me with a worried face. For a split second, he eyed Wang-ho who was standing beside me. The glint of annoyance in his eyes was barely there, but it was enough for me to notice. Hm? What's wrong with him?

"What happened? Your eyes are puffy and red... Did anyone hurt you?" he asked, tone serious.

I chuckled and ruffled his hair. This Alpaca is honestly one of the cutest people I've ever seen.

'Ah, allergies...could I some tissues please.' I used the excuse that Wangho had made up for me.

'Sure.' He quickly turned around and grabbed the whole tissue box that was on the table. I blew my nose as hard as I could into it so that it was believable, plus I had snot anyways.

I could notice Sanghyeok approaching us from behind, when Wangho was about to greet him, Sanghyeok grabbed his arm and dragged him back to where the members of SKT were.

And I could feel multiple pairs of eyes on me the whole time. I just shrugged it off and pretending not to notice.

'Guys, it's a rest day today, do what you must.' The coach yelled out from another room.

As we heard this, some of my teammates were discussing what they could do, while Score hyung suggestively looked at me, and spoke in a sly tone, "Kyungho-ah, what happened earlier then with Sanghyeok?"

He yelled at me, made me cry and- well, you get the point.

But how Score hyung asked the question made me blush really hard. A little bit too hard.

"Oooooh...." I could hear my other teammates that were supposedly eavesdropping on our conversation start.

"O-okay hyung, what do you want to do?" I tried to change the subject.

"Don't try to change the subject here, you sneaky little boy," Won-seok winked, smirking as if he were hinting at something.

I groaned. I really didn't want to talk about Sang-hyeok, or what had happened just now. "Let's just not talk about it, alright?"

Everyone kept quiet for a while.

And suddenly...

"You weren't crying from allergies, weren't you?"

Hyuk-kyu's tone when he asked the question was dangerously low.

Something clicked in all my teammates' heads, and their eyes widened.

"Oh shit, Kyung-ho, I'm sorry..." Se-hyeong quickly came over and gave me a small hug.

"Screw it, man. You can get someone better than that guy. You're hella good looking, you can easily get anyone else!" Dong-bin insisted, throwing dirty glances at the oblivious SKT as he whispered that.

I rolled my eyes and groaned again. "You know what? Let's just forget it. Let's go grind in ranked."

Won-seok frowned. "But today is our rest day..."

Hyuk-kyu nodded, agreeing with Won-seok. "Yeah, we should be having fun, right?"

"Well, I'm not having fun so far," I replied, still feeling down. I felt bad that I was dragging my teammates along with me. They should having fun, not consoling me...

Se-hyeong's eyes lit up all of a sudden, as if he had just came up with the most brilliant idea.

"Guys," he grinned, "Let's go to an arcade!"

Dong-bin wasn't impressed though. "At night?" he deadpanned.

"Not many people play at night," Hyuk-kyu commented innocently.

I nodded slowly. "Well it depends... But it's worth a shot. Shooting stuff sounds fun."

Won-seok chuckled. "We just can't escape from games, huh?"

We all laughed at that statement. I felt a bit better now, thanks to them. These dorks, no matter how much they tease me... They're good friends.

Somehow I've started to like this world more than I liked my previous one.

Even though my previous world had Sang-hyeok and I together...

But he's my past now, isn't he?

I smiled sadly. Yeah. I have to accept that fact.

"Eh? Where are you guys going?"

All of us stopped walking, only to turn to look at Wang-ho, who was asking that question.

"Arcade~" Hyuk-kyu chirped, the complete opposite of his previous cold, dark demeanor.

Geez, this kid may be cute, but he can be scary too.

SKT looked at each other after hearing Hyuk-kyu's reply, whispering something inaudible.

After a while, Seung-woon grinned and asked us a question.

A question I dreaded.

"Yo. Can we come along?"

.

Hello, Admin Yana here. Apologies for the delay, I had some real life things getting in the way.

Also, Admin Nikki is taking an indefinite break, so please wish her all the best!

SKT losing Worlds hit me hard, I even cried when he cried. I'm sure Admin Nikki felt the same. For now I can only hope for the best for everyone on the team, especially Faker. That poor kid had a complete breakdown, and Riot even posted a GIF of him crying. I have mixed feelings about this :/

On the other hand, this emotional wreck has wrote a SKT Faker three-shot on peachyyana, so if you like feels and angst, feel free to check it out c: It's called "Legends Never Die".

Thanks for staying with this story. Have a good day, guys!
