"is this what humans do for fun?" jimin watched boredly as yoongi seemed enthusiastic about throwing spherical orange objects with black lined designs into circular netted hoops.

"i watch it on tv a lot, i started playing a while ago with the humans, it's fun when you play in groups," yoongi said, as the digital numbers attached to the hoops went up with every ball he threw in.

"it's called basketball," yoongi explained. "try it," he said while tossing the round orange object to jimin.

"i just throw it? into that?" jimin asked, examining the ball with narrowed red eyes.

"yes, it'll be a lot easier for you since you're a demon, we have good accuracy... it's almost like a cheat, but who cares about cheating when you were created to sin?" yoongi admitted with a small laugh.

"okay..." jimin mumbled, positioning himself in front of the net, and lining up the shot. he tossed the ball and it went right through the hoop.

"did i do it?" he asked, turning to yoongi for clarification.

"good job jimin, i trust your athletic capabilities," yoongi shook his head. jimin rolled his eyes at the sarcasm. he turned his attention away from his demonic, baller of a friend, and looked around the arcade. so many people, smiling faces all engaging in different types of games.

there was a lot going on in the somewhat crowded arcade. kids and adults littered the tables and game stations. there were cheers from the games winners and of course the sound of multiple games being played at once. it wasn't something the demons were particularly used to.

"yoongi we should go dance," jimin said, tugging lightly on yoongi's jacket. jimin had noticed the dance dance revolution station that had a few people crowded around it.

"that game? you think you'll be good at it?" yoongi said, his eyes following jimin's. "can you even walk? you were only sent to earth a couple months ago." the younger demon shrugged.

"i can walk... i walked in hell what the fuck... whatever, we won't know until we try?" jimin said dragging yoongi against his protests.

"ai— who is this 'we' you speak of? there is no we in this—" he said. but jimin didn't stop leading him to the section.

his eyes were laid upon an intense 'dance battle' between a blonde haired male and dark brown haired male. jimin's eyes were mesmerized by the footwork and the praises coming from the screen.

it didn't look too hard to him, the dance game that would seem complex to everyone else. maybe it was the blood that coursed through his veins. it apparently made things a lot easier to him.

but these were ordinary humans? the moves were fast and precise with the rhythm, but the two playing game seemed to have it down easily. it was like it wasn't complicated at all.

the song soon ended, as the small crowd around them erupted in cheers at the scores. the blonde one had a score that was higher only by about two hundred points.

the one with dark hair mumbled something to the blonde before walking off. yoongi met the brunette's gaze for a split second, but quickly felt the aura around them shift. so he quickly tore his eyes away, suddenly feeling self conscious.

he closely watched jimin and his interaction with the blonde male playing the game.

"anyone want next?" the blonde asked, still standing on the dance pad. no one wanted to step up and play. instead they mumbled amongst themselves.
