If there's one thing that Jisoo love more than food and sleep, it's games. If she have enough spare time from all her lab work, assignments, and lectures, she'd either use it for sleep or playing games. She mostly like to play games at her phone because she doesn't have enough money to buy Nintendo or Playstation. Or she'd play at an arcade. She especially love playing racing games at the arcades.
Today she was accompanied with Lisa and Bambam, Lisa's boyfriend for 3 years. The three of them were that one group who always met to play at arcades. Their other friends didn't like playing games that much. Well, actually Lisa didn't like playing games that much too, but Bambam is a huge gamelover. So as a supportive girlfriend, she always accompanied Bambam when he go out to play games with Jisoo.
"I have to watch him, unnie. He's too handsome for his own good" squealed Lisa when Jisoo asked her why's she even here if she hate games.
They're a cute couple, thought Jisoo. Lisa first met Bambam when she was 5 years old in Thailand. Their mothers were best friends so they knew each other since childhood. Lisa wanted to get in a University in Korea so Bambam follow her to Korea so they wouldn't be apart. Such a sweet story.
"Unnie, Bambam saw a new videogame over there so we'll go to check it out" pointed Lisa as she hold hands with Bambam. Bambam smiled at Jisoo.
"Noona, go and have fun. We'll meet here at what? Two hours more?" asked Bambam.
"Two hours? Bambam, you've underestimated me. Three hours!" gasped Jisoo.
Bambam laughed as he held Lisa's hand tighter.
"Deal Noona. Come on Lisa, I'll teach you the beauty of games" said Bambam as he drag Lisa over there. Lisa rolled her eyes because she've already heard that sentence a thousand times before.
Lisa turned to Jisoo one last time as she was being drag over.
"Byee Unnieee!"

Jisoo was so furious as she played Street Fighter. She'd died a few times and she won't go before she won this thing. Jisoo hate losing. She huffed and blew her hair from her forehead. Damn it!
"Yah, you suck at playing this game", a voice suddenly distracting Jisoo from her game and she'd died again.
Furious, she turn around to face that damn intruder. And get breathless from the sight. He's not that tall and look older than her. But his face look so damn handsome with strong jawlines. His brown eyes twinkled with mischief as he stare at her. He smiled mockingly at her but Jisoo's too distracted with his beautiful dimples that showed when he smiled.
When Jisoo realized that he'd just insulted her, she snap out from her dazing and glared at him. She hate that his attractiveness is distracting her.
"Yah, did you just insult me?"
"Well, I think I just say a fact. You suck"
"Excuse me?" said Jisoo, not believing that this stranger just straight out insulted her without a care.
"Not only you suck at playing games but you're deaf too. What else should I know?"
"Excuse me you.. you.. you camel! I did not come here to hear your insults!" fumed Jisoo, furious that her safe haven become a hell with this impolite men.
"Camel? Please, I'm more handsome than that."
Jisoo gaped at him. What the hell is wrong with him?
"Ugh whatever. Leave me alone" said Jisoo as she turned to play other games. She didn't want to waste her precious gaming time with this brute.
She spotted Dance Dance Revolution and decided to play the rythme game. She'll just dance to forget that insufferable man. Jisoo inserted the coin and started to dance. She laughs as she dance following the rythme.
"Wow, you suck at dancing too" said a voice from behind her, making Jisoo crashed and miss a step. She jumped down from the machine and face him again.
"Excuse me, don't you have anything to do besides disturbing me?" asked Jisoo furiously. Seriously, what's wrong with him?
"Actually I don't have anything to do. "
Jisoo scoffed at his answer.
"Well, okay. Than do something! Play some game and stop bothering me" said Jisoo as she stared at him.
"Yah teach me to play some of these games then." said the stranger as he glanced at her.
Jisoo rolled her eyes, not believing what she's hearing right now. He just insulted her gaming skills and then he asked her to teach him. Handsome or not, he's crazy.
"Are you bipolar or something? You just insulted my gaming skills, you babo"
"Oh that? I've decided you're skilled enough" said him as he smiled mischievously, not even caring that she just called him babo.
"Yeah? Well I'm not interested. Ask your fangirls instead" said Jisoo pointing to a group of girls behind them that seem to intensely watched the guy as they giggled to each other.
"Aww come on princess. I hate fangirls. Teach me, neh?" asked the guy as he smiled again.
"Hmm I don't know.You just said a while ago that I suck and I'm a deaf" said Jisoo as she feel her heart melted at his smile. Don't be easy Jisoo!
"My bad. My mouth seem to have his own mind. He'd never seen such a beautiful girl before so without thinking he insulted her" said the guy sheepishly.
Jisoo flushed red at his words, not expecting his flirting.
"I'm sorry princess. Forgive me and my mouth?" asked him with a cheeky smile. Jisoo can't hide her smile at his ridiculous words. She have an easy personality, if someone apologize sincerely to her, then she'll forgive them. She hate being in a bad terms with anybody.
"Let's see. It depends at your gaming skill" teased Jisoo.
"Wonderful. I'm an excellent student."
Jisoo laughed at his cheesy words. He look so different from before. She held her hand out.
"And I'm an excellent teacher. Kim Jisoo."
He shaked her hand as he smiled with dimples and all.
"Kim Jongdae. Nice to meet you princess"
---
Jongdae is weird and funny. He cracked jokes that sent Jisoo to a laughing fit and Jisoo wondered where's the brute from before that insulted her. He loves to tricked her, like asking her to choose which hand that he held out had a candy and it turned out that neither of his hand had a candy. She'd scoffed and hit him but he held her hand as he caress her hair with the other hand. She'd been stunned at his touch but he gave out a candy from her hair. He stuck his tongue out, saying that what did she expected to happen. She pouted and pops the candy in her mouth. Hmm sweet!
Jisoo taught him how to play racing games, telling him that this is her favourite game. He hummed as he watched her playing. Jisoo told him about the rules and everything then told him to play the game. Jongdae seem to be not nervous at all and calmly play it. Jisoo watched him for a while before realizing that he's good at playing it.
"Yah what's this? You're pretty good" accused Jisoo, feeling betrayed because of his skills.
Jongdae just glanced at her for a second before returning at the game. A second later, he crashed and died.
"Ops? You're saying?" asked him with an innocent look.
"You cheater! I saw you crashed purposely!"
"Why would I even do that? I suck at playing games. Teach me again!" he said as he shrugged.
"But..but.. I saw it!"
"Well you saw wrong Jisoo. Now teach me more!" said Jongdae grabbing her hands to another arcade.
"Weird..I swear I'm right" said Jisoo to herself. If she turn her head, she would see Jongdae smirking.
---
Jisoo is so tired. She'd never guess teaching someone about games would be this exhausting. She started to miss her bed right now. Jongdae dragged her all over the place and at one point she met Lisa and Bambam. Lisa just gaped at her seeing Jisoo and Jongdae holding hands. Lisa sign her hand like a phone call, signaling that she have to told her all about this. Jisoo let a sigh and nodded before being dragged by Jongdae to a basketball ring.
"Let's play basket", said Jongdae with a huge smile, not looking exhausted at all. Jisoo wondered how come he's so energetic.
"I love basket. Let's play! But me first" said Jisoo excited and forgetting her weary. She snatch the ball from Jongdae and throw it at the ring. It went straight in. Jongdae whistled.
"Oh you're good" said Jongdae, grinning.
"Of course I am. I'm master Jichu" said Jisoo, grinning back.
Jisoo then played basket for a while as Jongdae just stood there beside her watching and commenting her. Weirdly, after that good shot, she missed the basket ring everytime she throw the ball in.
What's wrong with her?
"Yah be quiet I need to concentrate" said Jisoo, fed up with his teasings that she's not tall enough. Jongdae chuckled. Jisoo thought that his laugh sound beautiful. But she need to concentrate, this is her last ball.
As Jisoo get ready to aim the ball in, she feel a warm presence behind her. Jisoo became distracted as she realized that Jongdae's standing right behind her.
What is he doing??
She could feel his warm breath tickling her neck and she know that the tip of her ears started to get red. Her heart started pounding quickly.
"Yah What're yo-"
Jisoo cut her words off when she feel both of Jongdae's arm move forward and grabbed the ball in her hands, touching her hand. It's almost feel like he's hugging her. Jisoo blushed hard.
"Yah, your position is wrong. You should aim it from here" said Jongdae gently, his voice sound so close to her ears. He guide Jisoo hands with the ball to the right position and Jisoo felt warmth traveling all over her body.
Why is his voice so nice?I bet he sing so well
"Now try to shoot it in" said Jongdae from behind her, removing his hands as he step back.
Jisoo immediately missed his warmth but composed herself.
What's wrong with you Kim Jisoo? You just met this man.
Jisoo kept quiet as she throw the ball in. It went straight in like the first time she throw the ball.
"Wahhh, finally it went in again!" said Jisoo happily as she turned around to face Jongdae. She look at him and went breathless. He's just standing there, gazing at her intensely with a serious face, looking so hot.
What's with his serious face? He was just joking a while ago
Jongdae seem to snapped out of it when he realized Jisoo's looking at him curiously. He let out a gentle smile as he patted her head.
"Good job, princess"
Jisoo flushed when she felt his warm hand gently stroke her head.
Just what's wrong with her?
---
At the end, Jongdae had to go because he got a call from his hyung. Before he left, they exchange numbers and a promise to meet up and play games again. Jisoo waved at him with a bright smile as she watched him go. When she turned around, Lisa and Bambam were already behind her with a sly smirk. Seriously, why do they look similar when they smirk? Is it because they're dating each other?
"What?"asked Jisoo as she crossed her arms. Lisa scoffed.
"What? Do I really need to ask who's that hot stuff?"
Bambam turned to Lisa with a glare, offended that she think that Jongdae's hotter than him.
"Well not as hot as my Bambam ofcourse" said Lisa when she notice Bambam's glare. Bambam smiled happily when he heard that.
"That hot stuff is Jongdae. Nothing happen. I made a new friend" said Jisoo trying to run away.
"Yeah keep saying that Unnie. Why're you holding hands then?" said Lisa rolling her eyes.
"Because um... we're friends?" said Jisoo uncertainly, blushing when she remembered that moment with Jongdae.
"See? You're blushing unnie. Don't think that me, Chaeyoung, and Jennie didn't notice your new friends are all men? Introduce them with us" teased Lisa.
"What? You know about them?" asked Jisoo.
"Well duh, we're your bestfriends. And we notice that handsome men keep coming from everywhere to you. Tell us about them when you're ready" said Lisa hooking their arms together.
Jisoo smiled at her.
I'll tell you when I know what's the reason why my heart feel so warm and content everytime I met these guys.
