13. Boyfriend?

After they had their session in the bathroom stall, Jaebum cleaned Youngjae and then himself before putting their clothes back on. Youngjae was embarrassed and shy from then on.. Jaebum was his first. The two walked out of the bathroom hand in hand which earned weird and suspicious glances from people.

"What would you like to play first, princess?" Youngjae flushed red at being called 'princess.' He smiled shyly and looked around. "Oh! Can we play skee ball?" Youngjae bounced slightly, his brown hair flopping as he did so. Jaebum chuckled and ruffled Youngjae's hair. Youngjae dragged Jaebum all the way to the skee ball machines, eager to play.

"Youngjae, I bet I can kick your butt at this," Jaebum challenged. Youngjae paused, then dramatically turned to look at Jaebum while gasping. "You did not just challenge the skee ball master! Jaebum, you don't know me well enough if you're challenging me." Jaebum had to admit that he was a little surprised at Youngjae's response.

The two hurriedly inserted two of their tokens at the same time and pressed start. Both had a bright smile on their face and were ready to beat the other. "Oh! Look I got two thousand right off the bat–oh look! Another two thousand! Oh lookie there! You scared, Jaebummie?" Youngjae continued to taunt Jaebum, even doing little dances here and there which made Jaebum distracted and laugh his ass off.

The timer on both skee ball machines went off, indicating that the time was up. Youngjae had a score of thirty thousand, while Jaebum had a score of forty-two thousand. Youngjae's mouth dropped wide open. He couldn't believe that someone had just beat him. "Y-You..." Youngjae was speechless and a little angry.

Jaebum turned around to face Youngjae and smirked. "What's wrong, princess? Cat got your tongue? Or shall I say, skee got your ball? Wait no that doesn't make any sense–ball got your skee? I got your balls?–oh my god no–well I mean that's true but–okay you know what, never mind."

Youngjae didn't laugh at Jaebum rambling nonsense and instead, he pouted and stomped off to weird spongebob racing arcade machine to play by himself. Jaebum raised his eyebrows at his behavior. He didn't think Youngjae was actually upset.

His eyes traveled around the whole place until he finally saw a claw machine for adorable plushies. One in particular caught Jaebum's eye and he knew that Youngjae would love it, so therefore, he had to get it for him. This was Jaebum's way of apologizing.

Jaebum walked quickly over to the claw machine before anyone else got to it. He reached inside his cup of gold colored tokens and grabbed one, putting it in the correct slot. Jaebum skillfully brought the claw to hover over the cute plush. The claw grabbed it, making Jaebum shout in victory, but then immediately crying in disappointment when the claw dropped it back into the pile of plushies.

"Why? Why me? Ah, wae," Jaebum whined like Chen and put another token in the slot. This time, he was determined to get that stupid plush. "For Youngjae!" He cheered and pumped his fist in the air, earning Youngjae's attention. Youngjae just crossed his arms and looked away, deciding to hop on a motorcycle and play another racing game.

The cheap claw had grabbed the plush once again and this time, it dropped it through the slot. Jaebum cheered and grabbed it out from the bottom slot. He searched for Youngjae, then ran over to him. "Youngjae! I won this for you! My apology gift."

Youngjae's eyes widened and sparkled with happiness. "Oh my gosh, it's so cute!" He exclaimed and grabbed it immediately, hugging it tightly. He then shyly looked up at Jaebum before giving him a tight hug. "Thank you, Jaebummie." Jaebum smiled and pulled Youngjae away.

"It's getting late, we should head on home. Do you live close to here?" Youngjae nodded. "It's not that far of a walk." Jaebum and Youngjae walked out of the arcade and on to Youngjae's house. Youngjae was holding the plush Jaebum had won for him closely to his face.

"Um.. Bummie? Are we.. you know.. together?" Youngjae mustered up all the courage to ask Jaebum. Jaebum paused and looked at the blushing Youngjae.

"Well, Youngjae, I'd say I'm pretty in love with you. Will you be my boyfriend?"
