The arcade down the hill

Chapter 3

"Your welcome" He smiled and lifted his thumbs up, responding your gesture. You nod shyly, turning your face to the screen. 

You felt the tips of your ears getting hot, feeling self-conscious. You couldn't believe your luck. What were the odds that the boy you were sketching a few weeks ago, was now sitting next you?  You took a glance at him again. His eyebrows were furrowed in concentration and he was biting his lower lip. He looked cute. Stop looking at him, y/n! well, it's not my fault he is so good looking...

You turned your eyes to your computer again and choose one a random game. The rest of the afternoon consisted in you stealing glances to the boy and playing a few games. You looked at the hour. 7:59 pm.

Shit, it's late. I need to grab some milk before i go home. You closed the game and grabbed your stuff, putting on an over-sized hoodie since it was cold outside.  You took the last glance to the boy  and said goodbye to Jin Soo. You left the arcade, the cold wind making you shiver. You walked fast to the store and bought the milk. You arrived at your home and did your usual night routine. You fell asleep thinking about the boy. 

The next few days were similar. The boy sat next to you and both of you shared little tips about games. Until one day,when he sat down and looked at you drawing a scenery in a piece of paper. 

"Wow" you heard him whisper. You looked at him and he gave you a shy smile. "Um...nice drawing" He scratched his neck. You smile at him, murmuring a quiet 'thanks' and turning to the paper again, concentrated on finishing the sketch. You saw him looking at it from the corner of your eye, he looked captivated by it. Once you finished, you look proud at your drawing. Then you turn to face the boy. 

"Do you want it?" Your sudden confidence surprised you. He looks at you surprised,too. 

"Um...what?" He looks confused. You smile at him. 

"The drawing, do you want it?" You show him the paper. "I kinda want to give it to you, you know, you helped me the other day and i want to give it to you as a thanks."  

He looks at the drawing and then at you, a shade of pink adorning his cheeks. Is he...blushing? 

"Oh, then...sure" He gave you a little smile. "I like it a lot, actually" He scratched his neck for the second time. It must be a nervous habit of him. You thought, finding him extremely cute. You smiled brightly.

"Great!I'm glad you like it!" You took the pen to sign the paper (you always signed your drawings) and then an idea came to your mind. "Oh, can i ask...what's your name?...you know, to dedicate it to you..." you blushed a little, your confidence slowly fading away.

"Oh, yeah sure. My name is Jungkook" he said shyly, looking at his hands. So Jungkook, uh? Nice name, cute boy. You added a 'to jungkook, thanks :)' under your sign and gave him the paper. 

"Thank you....uuh" He turns his eyes to the paper, looking at your sign. He furrows his eyebrows in concentration.You giggle. 

"Y/n" you smile. "My name is y/n."  You extend your hand, trying to greet him. He takes your hand and shakes it, his cheeks turning red in the process. 

"Nice to meet you, y/n" He gives you his bunny smile.

"Nice to meet you too, Jungkook" You say, returning his smile.
