Coffee [Completed]

Chapter 22

{Yerin}

We were walking holding hands, almost like a couple on a date and I didn't really know what to make of it. It felt like a date, and he asked for my hand, but I know he only means friendship. Boys are so confusing. But Taehyung was also just sweet in general, and I felt like I was reading in too deep of all his action. I would not be mistaking his kindness for anything more, I embarrassed myself for that already. We passed a bunch of shops until I felt a tug at my arm

"Lets play the claw machine" oh yeah typically date scene, but I knew it wasn't and we walked into the small alley

"Okay"

"I suck so be prepared to lose all your money with me" he put in some money and still after three tries got nothing. It was cute watching him get happy when he was so close, his eyes lit up and then mad when he lost it. I was debating if I should take over, I was a pro at the claw machine, but didn't want to one up him on his own idea

"This machine is rigged" he pouted after his 5th? 6th? time which made my heart beat a second faster

"You said you did suck though" I teased digging in my pockets for coins

"Yeah but chances are that I should at least win once" he whined

"What are the chances?" I asked but kew he wouldn't do the math that fast

"Some number" he grumped and sat on the machine looking dejected

"Step aside and let a pro do it" I hip-checked him off the machine but he lost his balance a bit and I reached forward to grab his wrist and brought him close to me. He came forward and had his hand on my lower back to have a better hold. Our bodies were pressed close, my hand still on his, our noses almost touching. I could feel his breath and when I looked up to him he had that grin of his on his face

"You know every time you wanna get close to me, it involves me being injured or nearly injured"

"You know this is also the part in dramas where the leads kiss"

"Is that the first thought you had?"

"This just reminds me of it" and I let him go and untangled myself from him and faced myself toward the machine

"Why did you want to kiss me?" l looked at him from the side, I couldn't decipher if he was right or not. I cracked my knuckles and took out some coins 

"I'd rather win some plushies" and began playing, I could feel his stare on him which didn't help with my concentration but had some pride to save and quickly got a Ryan from Kakaotalk doll and Taehyung was amazed

"That was so fast, how'd-"

"Skill and patience my friend" as I handed it to him to hold and played more. After 4 more tries I managed to get a jibang doll, an eevee, and bouquet of flowers

"You really are a pro" he said looking down at his arms not believing all the plushies he was holding

"Today was an 80% success rate. 4 dolls of 5 tries, not my best a little below my average" I said proudly

"Which ones do you want?" he asked looking attached to all of them

"I have a lot, so you can choose, plus I think I have a higher chance in the future of winning more anyways"

"Here then" and he handed me the eevee and bouquet of flowers

"You know you kinda remind me of an eevee"  and I held it up to his face which had a striking resemblance

"Don't your fans give you jibang dolls? I can see why now" and he held it to my face and in one quick motion he snapped a picture of me and the doll on his phone

"Heyyyyyy I probably don't look good in that pic" looking at his phone, it was dark but my face and the white doll were bright in the picture. I was giving the doll the side eye

"Nope you look just fine, just like the doll" he was smiling I glanced at his screen again when I recognized the time

"We should probably head back to our dorms, its almost 9"

"Okay" after a bus ride, which was surprisingly empty thankfully we walked backed

"You know, I was nervous that after debut I wouldn't be able to hang out with other people, so thanks"

"What friends do"

"I'm not popular enough for the media yet but I'm surprised no one was following you"

"Too weird of a time I guess, and you're popular, I think you're the most well known from the group too"

"My chicken dance on Running Man did the trick" I winked knowingly and he imitated the dance and sarcastically kneed himself in the nose 

"STOPP that actually hurt okay! I didn't mean to do that to myself" I swatted him on the arm

"Okay okay, sorry but it was funny"

"Yeah yeah I know" I sighed in defeat as we rounded to block to to my dorm, he insisted on walking me all the way back

"We should do this again sometime" he said 

"Okay" and turned around because I could feel a grin coming on my face

"Goodnight to you too then!!!!" he shouted behind me
