Top Student -- BTS Min Yoongi FanFic

Chapter Twenty Five

I felt my heart drop, and drop even further as I watched Yoongi purposefully ignoring me. At least, he was too focused on the arcade games. Which I wouldn't really care about, but I was starting to think he had regretted holding my hand or had done it as a joke. 

Either way, I could feel my mood switch from carefree to anxiety-ridden. I would have stuck around Yoongi, but it seemed as if he didn't want me to interfere. 

"You okay?" a voice snapped me out of my let-down trance. I looked up and saw Namjoon, holding a handful of tokens and wearing a worried expression on his face.

"Yeah.." I nodded, offering a smile. "There's just a lot of bright lights."

Oh, my god. That sounded really stupid. Way to go, Seon. Jesus. 

Nonetheless, Namjoon didn't seem to be bothered by my god-awful reply, "Do you want to step outside?"

I shook my head, not wanting to ruin the arcade trip, "No, it's alright. I'll adjust."

I was sounding more stupid by the second.  

He shifted the tokens around in his hand and glanced around, watching how Jungkook was yelling excitedly about beating Taehyung at a racing game, Jin and Hoseok on some Dance Dance Revolution game, and Jimin with Yoongi at a coin machine. 

"There's some claw machines," Namjoon pointed out, "do you want to try those?" 

My eyes followed what he was looking at, and a smile instantly replaced my awkward face. There had to be at least twenty different machines, each packed with cute plushies. My weakness. 

"Yes!" I tried not to squeal and instead semi-dashed over to them, holding my hand on the glass and peering through. Although I wasn't the best winner at the machines, I had watched my father win plenty of times when I was younger. 

The remembrance of my father dulled my mood, but Namjoon was by my side quickly. He looked at me, then at the plushies I was staring at, and smiled widely. 

"Rilakkuma?" He questioned with a slight eyebrow raise. Without knowing, I smiled fondly, remembering how Yoongi had hidden all of his rilakkuma plushies the first time I had went to his house. Again, my mood swung and hit a wave of sadness. My eyes trailed over to Yoongi, watching as the machine's neon colors danced on his face and hair, and how his smile widened when the coin machine sounded off, signaling victory.

The claw machine in front of me started up, and I had just realized Namjoon had already inserted coins and began to move around the claw. Instead of wanting to focus on my hurt from the sudden coldness of Yoongi, I decided to watch Namjoon instead. His face was painted with concentration, eyebrows slightly furrowed and eyes darting from the claw to his target plushie. 

He pressed the 'down' button, and the claw obeyed, it's metallic fingers grasping a Rilakkuma plushie and lifting it in the air. I felt the sudden thrill of winning shudder through my body, and let out a squeal as the claw dangerously shook to the beginning position. 

"I am God at claw machines," Namjoon didn't waste a second to boast, and reached over to grab the plushie. He pulled it out, examined it, and held it over my head. I frowned and crossed my arms. 

"Relax," he laughed and handed it to me, "I was just making sure it didn't have any dust." 

I held the plushie and squished it's cute face softly, "Sure."

"Want to try another one?" Namjoon asked, but was already moving to another claw machine. I followed after him with the Rilakkuma plushie in tow.
