“Scoups!?”

I was surprised when I saw Scoups sitting beside me. It was supposed to be Jaehyuk-oppa, and I watched the movie, but Scoups took Jaehyuk-oppa's place.

“What are you doing here?” I asked him, but he only gestured to focus on the movie instead.

I just ignored him and turned my focus back on the movie again. I couldn't focus since his presence was so strong to be ignored.

“Want some popcorn?” He asked while offering the popcorn to me. I took some popcorn while keeping my eyes on the screen. Later on, I felt myself wanting a drink.

“Here, we can share. Sorry, I only bought one drink.” Scoups said, offering the drink to me. I took the drink from him and took a sip–putting it back in the cup holder of the seat.

As soon as the movie was about to end, I felt Scoups holding my hand–I felt my cheeks burning up from the physical contact he made.

Oh God…

Where the heck is Jaehyuk-oppa?

=====

As the movie ended, Scoups helped me stand up from my seat. He even waited outside the restroom when we exited the cinema. So, we walked silently, feeling the awkward tension between us.

“Nae, Coups-ssi, what are you doing here? I know Jaehyuk-oppa was supposed to be here, not you.” I said, looking around while Scoups just walked beside me.

“I did tell you about it, though; I just wanted to spend time with you. I'm spending my day off with you.” He replied, holding my hand with his hand. “And if you're wondering about Hyung, he's exploring around the mall.” He smiled after that.

“Then how did you know that we're at the mall?” I asked.

“Hehe…I'm the one who actually planned all of this. Jaehyuk-hyung is just our car ride,” He said, lowering his face to a level where my ears are. “Call me Coups, no more formalities, Heyoung-ya.”

I blinked at the closeness that Scoups did.

He held my hand even more and dragged me somewhere.”Let's go to the arcade, Heyoung-ya.”

Ultimately, he dragged me to the arcade–he paid for our tokens using his money. At first, I wanted to give half of my money for our tokens, but he disagreed–saying the man should pay for the first activity. I did tell him that next time, I would pay.

For our first arcade game, we went to the basketball shoot game.

“Who's scores the highest will pick our next game.” I declared as I inserted a coin into the machine. However, he only smirked at me like he knew that he would win the match.

I pouted as the timer of the machine ended; I looked at the 96 scores on my machine–and after that, I looked at Scoups’ score; I was kinda shocked upon seeing it. He scored 100–leaving four differences between our scores.

“What game next, Coups-ya?” I asked. He thought about it, and he dragged me towards the driving game.

“You play the game. I'm just going to watch you first.” He said. I shrugged at him before inserting the coin into the machine.

In the first round, I was in the lead. However, in the second round, I was having a hard time catching up. Whatever technique I do, it always won't work.

As I still struggled to catch up, I felt Scoups’ body lean over and held both of my hands like they were guiding me to drive. I even felt his breath on my neck like it was sending some sensation to my body. I lost my focus on the game because of how close Scoups is.

I'm emotionally malfunctioning!

“Heyoung-ya, focus on the game, not me.” He whispered.

In the end, I placed third in the game. We played a lot of games after the driving game–claw machine, survival game, etc.

Game after game, we won a lot of tickets, which led us to go to the prize-claiming booth.

“Heyoung-ya, how about this one?” He asked while pointing at the cherry keychain. I nodded at him and told the worker that we would be taking it. But we still had a few more tickets, so I kept on looking for a prize. A particular prize caught my attention. It was a heart keychain that split up.

I told the worker that I wanted that keychain. The worker gave it to me, and I thanked the worker for it.

“Coups-ya, here you take the other part of the keychain,” I said as we left the prize booth. I gave him the other piece of the keychain.

“Then you can take the other cherry keychain.” He also gave me the other keychain. “Heyoung-ya, let's put the keychain together.” He added.

I smiled at the idea.

“Now, what's the next agenda, Coups-ya?” I asked.

He didn't answer, but he grabbed my hand, pulling me to our agenda.

I hope this won't end.
