Wonwoo felt Mingyu's hands get colder as they walked down the path. He wondered why the boy seemed so nervous. It was Wonwoo's first date ever but he wasn't nervous because it was Mingyu.

"Are you okay?" Wonwoo placed his hand on Mingyu's forehead, trying to check the boy's temperature. "Oh yeah, I'm fine." He replied and the two continued their walk.

Once they reached a specific spot, Wonwoo espied a building with the words ARCADE on it and he instantly felt his energy increase. "An arcade! Why do you know me so well?" Wonwoo put his arm through Mingyu's and Mingyu smiled faintly.

"I've studied you Jeon Wonwoo." He pinched Wonwoo's cheeks which were enough to make Wonwoo bluch. Anything Mingyu did would be able to make Wonwoo blush.

The two entered the arcades and Mingyu purchased the tokens they needed to play. Wonwoo watched as Mingyu bought so many. Wow. It was nice to be rich.

As they got into the main area and Wonwoo saw all the arcade games, happiness filled his heart. "What do you want to play?" Mingyu asked but Wonwoo could hear his voice trembling. "Babe, are you okay?" Wonwoo asked again knowing Mingyu couldn't escape his pet names.

Mingyu coughed before saying, "Oh yeah, I don't know why I'm so sweaty today." Wonwoo nodded and the two went to the basketball game first.

With the high score being 140, Wonwoo was determined to beat whoever it was. The game counted down before starting and Wonwoo immediately focused on getting the ball into the hoops.

He wasn't the most athletic person in recent years but this was a game so he had to beat it. To satisfy his ego.

In 40 seconds, Wonwoo had gotten 132 points. He needed just 8 more, which meant he needed to get 4 more balls in the hoop.

The game ended and Wonwoo looked at his final score. 144. He'd beaten the high score! He turned to Mingyu who had already been looking at him with sparkles in his eyes.

"Did you see that?!" Wonwoo asked pointing to his score. Mingyu smiled before nodding. "Mhmm, that's my pro gamer." He pulled Wonwoo in for a hug.

"Why are you being so cheesy puppy." Wonwoo joked before hugging Mingyu back. "You love my cheesiness." Mingyu retorted and Wonwoo rolled his eyes.

But it was true. He loved Mingyu's cheesiness and everything else about him... so what did that mean?

"Let's play the shooting games here, they're fun!" Mingyu proposed, still looking a bit sickly as he packed up his and Wonwoo's tickets.

"Okay!" Wonwoo agreed, taking Mingyu's hand and walking to the nearest shooting game that wasn't occupied.

They took their seats in the machine and put in their tokens to start the game. It was a competition to see who would get the most targets and Wonwoo instantly became competitive again. Then again, he had always been but some occurrences in his life took away his true self from him.

But Mingyu was able to bring it back.

The two started playing with the sound of gunshots and fake groans filling up the machine. Wonwoo focused in his targets, taking most of them down with head shots before using the grenade to kill the rest.

He advanced to the next stage where the number had increased and began to shoot rapidly with precise aim. Once he finished that level, he reached level 3 then level 4 and finally level 5.

He looked at Mingyu who had failed already and chuckled. He was so cute.

Wonwoo watched a his screen filled with all the enemies running towards him and a helicopter open for his escape.

He got out his gun and shot every target he could before using the two grenades he'd kept in stock to attack the rest, killing them all. He ran to the helicopter and escaped, defeating the game.

"That was very hot, Jeon Wonwoo." Mingyu held Wonwoo's chin and Wonwoo felt his insides burning up. As Mingyu pulled him closer until their faces were close enough, Wonwoo breathing audibly got heavier and his eyes landed on Mingyu's lips.

Just as Wonwoo closed his eyes, a voice interrupted them and the curtains of the machine were opened up. "Excuse me grandpas, we wanna play!" The two immediately moved away from each other, a cough escaping Mingyu's lips while Wonwoo simply looked in the other direction.

"Okay, we'll just get our tickets and go!" Wonwoo heard Mingyu say and he started to carry his tickets while Mingyu carried his. The two came out of the machine before meeting each other again.

"That was so embarrassing." Wonwoo shook his head and Mingyu chortled. "Never thought I'd be cockblocked by literal children."

"Your fault for wanting to kiss in public." Wonwoo poked Mingyu's chest. "Oh really? Then why didn't you stop me?" Mingyu asked, a cocky smirk on his lips.

Wonwoo looked away, knowing he'd been silenced.

"But wait... did they call us grandpas?" Mingyu asked and Wonwoo giggled. "Babe, we're grandpas now." He remarked which made Mingyu laugh as well.

After a few hours, the boys rounded up the games and got out all their tickets at the counter. Wonwoo felt proud as their tickets basically filled up the counter.

After some minutes of counting, the cashier pointed to the biggest prizes for the two boys. "Xbox please." Wonwoo requested. This was why he'd tried so hard to win. So he would be able to add another gaming console to his collection.

"Oh sorry, the only way you can get the Xbox is if we add your tickets together, you need about 100 more tickets for that... it won't really hurt his amount though and he cab still get a big prize." The cashier explained but Wonwoo had already refused once he'd heard the words add tickets.

He didn't want to just use Mingyu's tickets for his own desires. "Can I get the head-"

"We'll take the Xbox with some of my tickets and the headphones with the rest of my tickets." Mingyu interrupted Wonwoo and the cashier nodded, heeding to his request.

"I don't want to keep doing that." Wonwoo folded his arms. "Doing what?" Mingyu asked, curious. "Taking stuff from you."

"Baby, do you really think I care about these arcade prizes?" Mingyu questioned but Wonwoo didn't reply. "Do you know why I brought you here? Because I knew you'd be in your element. This is for you, beauty." Mingyu whispered into Wonwoo's ear and he couldn't fight the smile from appearing on his face.

Mingyu smiled, knowing he'd succeeded. But his smile looked different today. It looked weak.

"Why do you like doing things for me? Isn't it bothersome?" Wonwoo asked, holding Mingyu's hand. Now he was a bit hot. Was he perhaps sick?

Wonwoo watched as Mingyu tried to answer but all of a sudden, stopped. "What's wrong?" Wonwoo asked and he watched as Mingyu lost consciousness falling to the floor.

"Help!" Wonwoo screamed, his eyes slowly filling up as he bent down to reach Mingyu.

What the fuck was going on?
