"okay naeun, when i said look decent, i did not mean take three hours trying to find an outfit." jaehyun complained.
"jaehyun, you know i don't go out often, i might as well look alright when i do." naeun responded as she observed her outfit in the mirror. shaking her head violently, she decided the current outfit she was wearing was not the right one.
"are you sure it's not something else lil sis?" naeun went through each article of clothing hanging in her closet, wondering which would be most appropriate for the casual occasion.
"what else could it be?"
jaehyun only nodded in agreement, despite the fact that he knew there was something else, and he knew exactly what that something else was. he just wasn't sure if his sister knew what love was anymore and if she was willing to love again if she did.

"god dammit, jung naeun are you done doing your hair or what?" jaehyun whined on the couch, impatiently waiting for his little sister.
"what!" naeun yelled from the bathroom on the second floor.
"what?"
walking down the steps, she smiled cheekily at her brother. "you asked if i was done doing my hair or what, so i said what."
grabbing her cheeks, jaehyun pulled at them in a teasing manner. "hey, who taught you how to be such a smartass?"
"the master smartass himself." naeun giggled before pointing at her brother.
"sure sure, my baby sister is looking pretty today!" the elder spoke before putting naeun in a headlock.
"do i not look pretty any other day?" naeun questioned while hitting jaehyun's hands
"of course not, now let's go before we're late." he said before dragging his angry little sister out the door by her hands.
walking down the street, the pair of siblings swung their held hands to the music playing from a speaker nearby. it was a pretty fall day, and naeun was wearing a pair of shorts with a girly blouse, which contrasted her usual dark attire. jaehyun smiled lovingly at his little sister, happy that she grew up so well. suddenly, naeun gasped in a excitement. looking up to where his sister, he saw a building covered in bright colors. now acting like an excited puppy, naeun started dragging her older brother to the colorful building that read "arcade" in neon letters.
upon entering the building, they found the rest of the nct members waiting near the entrance. naeun immediately ran to the boys, stopping right in front huang renjun himself.
"oh, naeun! i didn't know you were coming." the red head smiled at the arrival of naeun. he soon earned an elbow nudge from taeil who walked behind him.
"yes you did, you said weren't coming until jaehyun said he was bringing naeun along." taeil teased until jeno jumped in.
"yeah, you were looking for her the entire time!" jeno teased.
immediately putting a hand over jeno's mouth, he flushed. "shut up kid."
naeun grinned widely before grabbing the two dreamie's hands towards the street fighter game machine. "let's go play something!"
naeun and renjun glared at each other violently as a countdown started. naeun stood in front of the blue buttons while renjun stood in front of the red buttons. "hah, you think chun-li is gonna beat ryu?? what a joke." renjun confidently said.
"i wouldn't be so sure." naeun stared at the screen. finally, the countdown reached one and they simultaneously started pushing at the buttons. renjun used the controls with technique and grace, while naeun mercilessly spammed the buttons into an oblivion. naeun kicked and punched without giving renjun a chance to let one hit in. she even accidentally threw in some special combos which depleted renjun's health quicker than they became friends. the game was finally over as the game exclaimed that naeun beat renjun with a full amount of health points left. whistling, chenle looked at the message on the screen.
"noona crushed you."
"hakakskksksos ChEnLe I CAn See That!" renjun incoherently mumbled at the boy. however, he could not stay mad because of the bright smile naeun wore on her face from the victory. "good job naeun, would like to play something else?"
nodding immediately, she pointed at the dance machine. "i want to play against you on that." gulping nervously, renjun slightly nodded in acknowledgment. renjun's forte was never dance, he could probably beat anyone if he was using the mic on guitar hero, but dance? it seemed unlikely. however, renjun didn't not want to disappoint the girl who's face may fall off from her never ending smiles. stepping onto the console attracted the rest of the members, who started to cheer behind the two opponents.
"woo renjun hyung is going to dance!" cheered jisung, while the rest of them clapped in amusement. naeun ignored them as she picked the song. scrolling through the song list, she stopped when she saw the words that read "miku hatsune." renjun groaned.
"don't make me do a cute song!" however, naeun continued to choose the song she intended to. after pressing a couple colored buttons, the music started to play. renjun was obviously flustered, but he clumsily stepped on the buttons to the music. turning to his right, he saw naeun jumping around with ease. her face was shiny due to the sweat that covered her forehead, her cheeks were rosy from the physical activity, and her eyes were bright from the happiness she felt while dancing and renjun melted upon the sight. he never wanted it to stop. however, he was interrupted by a series of "boos" behind him.
"renjun you're missing every note! stop looking at naeun and start looking at the screen!" jaehyun yelled at renjun, who scrambled around to place his feet on the right blocks.
finally the music stopped, and the two looked at the screen to see their scores. player 1: 100% player 2: 27%
renjun immediately face palmed when he saw a glimpse of his score. where has pride gone? what was pride anymore? there was no pride left, because he became the new joke between the members.
"27% HAHA RENJUN YOU REALLY SUCK" haechan snorted while pointing at renjun. who ignored him before snapping his head to the right. renjun looked at naeun, who not so innocently smiled at him and he instantly took back everything he thought while playing the game. jung naeun was actually a monster.
"yeah i suck, maybe we should just get ice cream. naeun what do you think?" renjun turned to naeun.
"you just want to forget your miserable loss." she responded a matter of factly.
