"I'm Chaewon. I already know you're that perfect Yoohyeon everyone's talking about so no need to introduce yourself. Want me to help with the nosebleed?"
"Yes, please..?"
She smiled and took out a coin from her bra and placed it on my glabella and pressed hard on it.
"I know it seems strange, but I've done this my whole life and it stops nosebleeds in no time. Just hold it for a minute or so."
"Why do you have a coin in your bra?"
"Oh, the claw machine outside school only accepts coins if they're warm so that's why I keep all of my coins there."
"But why.. there?"
"Okay I know it's weird, but I'd rather put them somewhere safe and easily accessible than to put them somewhere outside in the sun to turn into lava coins and burn my hands."
I laughed at her and she just shyly giggled. She seems nice and.. weird. It's cute. I kept the coin there and when I looked in the mirror, my nosebleed really did stop. I thanked Chaewon, but she stopped me before I left.
"I know this is so sudden but.. Do you like claw machines too by any chance?"
I was a bit surprised by her questions and noticed her get embarrassed after asking that. I smiled at her and nodded. She awkwardly smiled too and apologized for asking a sudden question and left the bathroom before me in a hurry. I thought the interaction we had was pretty weird but at the same it was new and sweet that it made me want to get to know her a little bit more.
I went back inside my classroom and sat on my seat again and this time Bora seemed more worried than before. I assured her that I was feeling better and we continued listening in class and wait for it to end.

I skipped lunch today and thought of going to the rooftop, but instead encountered Chaewon in the corridor and she wanted to hang out. I told the others I'd be outside and Chaewon dragged me to the claw machine infront of the school. She took out a load of coins and handed me the half.
"Did you take them out of your bra again?"
"Maybe- Okay, listen now! We both have 10 coins combined so no matter what we must get at least 2 plushies."
"What are you even going to do with these plushies?"
"That's a story for another time~ Now, I want that small penguin over there and the scorpion plush! Oh, and the cat for myself! Don't miss the cat!"
I sighed and tried to get the penguin but failed miserably. She laughed at me because of how bad I was and I blamed the machine because it was obviously impossible to get. The moment it was her turn, she managed to get it first try to my surprise. I couldn't believe it, so I pushed her aside and tried again and I failed again, making her scoff.
"Skill issue Yoohyeon, skill issue."
"This is definitely rigged like those survival shows I see on TV. There's no way I'm that bad."
"Hey, don't talk like that about my survival shows! I know there's evil editing but that makes it fun."
"You're right actually.."
