Yoongi's POV

My eyes followed Seon, watching her follow behind Namjoon like a puppy. Without knowing, I grunted, a slight twinge of jealousy sparking in my chest. At the moment, everything was confusing. What was I supposed to do? Namjoon liked Seon. I liked Seon. 

I looked back up and saw her smiling down at a plushie.

Who did she like? Hoseok probably knows. 

"What's wrong?" Jimin's concerned voice snapped me out of the trance I set myself in. The coin machine started up, a winding sound raising and distracting me for a moment. 

"Nothing," I waved it off and went back to examining the coins inside the machine. Games like these were easy to win. All you had to do was just pay extra attention. 

Jimin shifted and turned to where I was looking, and I could feel embarrassment wave over me as he realized.

"Is it Seon?" he pressed. Ignoring him, I flicked a coin at an area where the other coins conjured together, my eyes following the movement quickly. It flicked, rolled, and landed on top, wobbling before knocking a large amount off. 

The machine let out a loud victory sound, tacky music blaring in my ears. 

Jimin frowned besides me, "Seriously, Yoongi."

"What?" I growled, rolling my eyes as I plucked out every coin. Forty. 

As I was about to insert another coin to start the game up again, Jimin pulled my hand away. Finally, I let myself look at him. Instead of the angered and annoyed face I was expecting, he looked worried. 

"Do you like Seon?" he asked, no hint of malice in his voice or eyes. My grimace softened and I let my irritation flee. Afterall, Jimin wasn't the type of person to use anything against me, or try to criticize me. He listened. Somehow I had forgotten that. 

"I don't know," I answered honestly, and allowed myself to look up and glance at Seon once more. "I really haven't liked anyone before." 

Silence overtook Jimin, and I could feel myself grow nervous even though all he was doing was thinking. But, what was he thinking? Was he thinking how I was an asshole?

"Okay," Jimin nodded, "I'll help you answer."

"Really?" I raised an eyebrow. 

"Yes." 

I paused and motioned him to carry on. 

"Are you jealous, looking at Namjoon and Seon together right now?" He gestured towards them after making sure they weren't looking first. His eyes met mine again. I blinked, and for a second I could sense disappointment in his eyes. 

"Yes."

He tapped his chin, "If I were to go over there and pull Seon into a tight embrace, wrap my arms around her waist and-"

"Stop," I mumbled, but Jimin, of course, heard. A wicked grin formed on his face and his lips pulled up. Oh, no, what now?

"What about Jungkook-" 

"Hell no, that kid is going nowhere near-" 

And before I could finish that sentence, Jimin stood up in a flash and dashed away to where Jungkook and Taehyung were playing games. Watching them speak to each other, and the grins on their face made me feel a sense of doom. 

Even though the bad feeling was lingering in my stomach, I got bored watching the younger ones bicker and push each other around, and focused back on the game in front of me. Soon enough, the machine would be empty and I would leave with 1,000 coins. 

Movement caught my eye, and I glanced up. The three were moving, and they were moving towards Seon and Namjoon. 

"Game over!" a high-pitched robotic voice belted out from the game, but I could care less. Jungkook looked like a predator stalking up to his prey, and his eyes were on Seon. My hands gripped on the game controller. 

This didn't look good. 

As Jungkook slid his arm around Seon's shoulders and pulled her in, Taehyung bumped into her as the two peered into the claw machine she was staring at. I couldn't hear what they were saying, but I could guess. Pretending to be interested in the claw machine. 

Seon didn't seem to mind, her mouth moving as she talked so easily. She seemed excited, and lifted one of the plushies she was holding. 

Jungkook brought her ramble to an end, his hand caressing her jawline and cupping her face. He tilted her face upwards, towards his. Namjoon quickly stepped in and pulled her away with a scowl on his face. 

The two began to argue, and it looked like a game of tug-of-war, with Seon in the middle. Her eyes were wide and panicked. Jungkook, on the other hand, looked amused as if everything was funny and Namjoon looked like he was planning a murder.

I growled to myself and rushed up to the commotion. Everyone's attention broke from the two, to me instead. Without waiting for a response, I grabbed Seon's hand, careful to be gentle, and pulled her away. 

"Let's go."

She didn't resist, so I continued speed-walking away from the intolerable petty fight Jungkook had started. I had no idea what Jimin had in mind, but it definitely backfired.

When we rounded around the arcade and far from the others, I stopped and let out a breath of air I had been holding. Pushing myself to turn around, I mustered my courage to look at Seon.

She looked surprised, her eyes still wide, but she was looking down at our hands intertwined. Hesitantly, I rubbed my thumb over her hand, and laughed at how small her hand was. Finally, I dropped the awkward hand-holding, trying to prevent Seon from being uncomfortable. I just hoped she didn't see me as a creep. 

"Sorry about Jungkook," I could feel myself beginning to ramble, "I have no idea what he was thinking." 

The silence that stretched made the bad feeling linger in my stomach again, but once she smiled, it melted away. 

"It's okay," she laughed, and I swear I could feel my stomach do backflips. "I think he was just playing around." 

"He always is," I said as I began to walk around and explore the rest of the arcade. Fighting games, shooting games... Seon fell into pace behind me, her hands clasped around her back that nearly sent me off of the planet earth.

Okay, maybe I do like her. 

Because she was doing everything a normal human would do, but my eyes saw her as some maritan angel goddess. 

"There!" she pointed at a photobooth and rushed over to it. "Let's take some photos!"
