"Let's play there," Chenle gently smiled and pointed towards a claw machine as he walked weakly towards it. Jisung followed after him.

The pair were left to play together as they were both the youngest of the group. They had been playing for a mere 30 minutes and have connected better than expected. 

Jisung held a long rope of tickets as he looked into the claw machine. It was filled with yellow dog plushies with a brown beret.

"Can we?" Chenle's face lit up every time he looked at the machine and Jisung could see it. He totally forgot that Chenle was his secret admirer.

His chest felt weird and warm as he quickly nodded towards the older.

"Yaay!" He cheered as he swiped his card. He moved the joysticks around as his face was concentrated on grabbing a plushie. Jisung watched the boy who had determination written all over his face.

He pressed the drop button as the claw reached down and latched onto a plushie. As it goes back up, the plushie drops as Chenle makes an upset noise.

"Awwww. Do you want to try?" Chenle asked with a pink tint on his face as he pointed towards the machine. "Sure." He answered.

He put down the tickets and his jacket onto the floor next to the machine as he looked at the plushie Chenle tried to pick up.

He moved the sticks around as he concentrated on the plushie. Chenle watched in amazement as he held his hands together. He liked watching Jisung's determined face.

Jisung moved the claw right on top of the plushie as it went down. It clutched onto the plushie as it lifted up... and dropped it again.

"Crap." Jisung felt his face burn up in embarrassment. "One more time," Jisung held his hand out for the card from Chenle as he slowly gave him the card. Jisung quickly swiped it as he gave it back to Chenle.

"Go Jisung!" Chenle cheered quietly as he watched him again. "This has to be it." He muttered to himself. He tried once again to pick up the same plushie as it dropped once again. "Grrr..." He growled lowly in disappointment.

He used his last try. He watched as the claw drop and latch onto the plushie. He expected it to drop yet it continued holding onto it with a firm grip as it dropped it through the hole.

"Ya-taaah Jisung!" Chenle cheered, holding his fist in the air as he had a big grin on his face. "O-oh, yeah," Jisung said awkwardly as he reached through the hole to give to Chenle.

"You're giving it to me? You should keep it, you were the one who got it," Chenle refused as he picked up Jisung's jacket and the tickets.

"No, you can have it. I don't really collect these things and I got it for you." He said embarrassed as he held out the yellow dog.

"R-really? Thank you Jisung!" He smiled as he hugged the plushie happily. He felt really weak and full of joy knowing Jisung got the plushie just for him.

"Let's do something else... Can you play basketball?" Jisung pointed towards the orange machines in the far corner. 

"Oh, I can't play but I can watch you play." He gave Jisung a reassuring smile as they made their way to the machines.

"So, you take calculus and methods right?" Jisung started a conversation, "Yeah I do." Chenle blushed, knowing Jisung acknowledged the boy.

"Oh I see." Jisung said quietly as the loud noise of the arcade took over their conversation.

"Oh, Mark and Donghyuck are here!" Chenle said happily as they reached the basketball hoops.

"Eeh! Jisung and Chenle!" Donghyuck greeted them with a large smile and wave. "Hello," Mark smiled as he held the basketball in his hands, ready to shoot.

"Hello hyungs," the pair greeted simultaneously which made Donghyuck giggle.

"Don't they look kinda cute together?" Donghyuck said quietly into Mark's ear which made the older laugh and get a little hot. "Yeah, very." He agreed as he shot and missed.
