We found it and it was nearly completely empty. There was one other guy and the owner. I mean... I understand why. It was 2 in the morning.

"Okay. Before we play, let's make a deal. Whoever wins can get a prize." I said.

"A prize? What kind of prize?" He asked.

"Umm... I haven't thought that far yet..." I said. TaeHyung smiled at the opportunity to tease me. He pulled me close by the waist.

"I think I have a prize in mind." He said. He puckered his lips and close his eyes. "Yaaaah!" I panicked. I lightly hit his lips and pushed myself away.

"W-We'll think of the prize after the victory." I said and ran off to the owner. TaeHyung started pulling out his wallet, but I quickly stopped him.

"No, it's my turn." I said, pulling out some money from my wallet. I was still working at my science company. I did my research online and sent the work by email. It was so tiring, especially when combined with the training. But now, I was reaping the benefits! I got paid yesterday and I had enough in my account to pay for stuff!

I bought enough points for the both of us to play about 10 games. "Okay! Let's do this!" I said, handing him his card.

We played 4 games, all of which were won by TaeHyung. I didn't want to go down that easily so I pulled out my secret card, the toy crane grabbing thing.

I won that game! We then decided to take pictures, sing some karaoke and play a 3-D car ride game together.

Eventually, we ran out of money and the shop owner came over to us. "It's time for me to close guys." He said in Korean. TaeHyung replied to him.

"Looks like we have to go..." he told me.

"What?" I pulled out my phone and checked the time. IT WAS 5 IN THE MORNING. I gasped, loud.

"Sorry!" I said in Korean, and bowed to the owner. I grabbed TaeHyung and we ran out of the arcade. We went back to BigHit since the sun was about to come out and there would be paparazzi out soon.

"Ah! I won!" TaeHyung said, remembering our deal at the beginning. I paused, not wanting to acknowledge it.

"Ah... I guess you did.. haha" I said with an awkward smile.

"I'll think about what I want as a prize." He said sarcastically, smirking. "I'll redeem it later on."

"Here, you can keep this", said TaeHyung, handing me the cute blue elephant he had won in the claw machine. I took it, and handed him the one I won. It was a pink bunny.

"I'll name it Byul-ie", he said. He pet the bunny's head. I was kind of happy and embarrassed that he named it after me.

"What should I name him?" I asked, pointing to my elephant.

"Name him Oppa." He said, with a smile. "Oppa?? Why Oppa? I'm sure this guy is younger than me." I said.

"Because then you'll think of me when you call him." He said, with a smile.

I swear I would faint if I wasn't trying so hard to maintain composure. I could feel my face getting hot.

"YAHH don't say stuff like thaaat!" I told him.

"Why not?" He asked.

"Because it makes my heart flutter" I said. Turning around and running away, back to my dorm.

"It makes my heart flutter" (TaeHyung POV)

"What should I name him?" MoonByul asked with big eyes, expecting something creative to come out of me.

A lot of names went through my head. Ellie? Elvis? Tae? TaeTae? Hyung? Ah! I've got it.

"Name him Oppa." I said, with a smile. I love it when she calls me Oppa. She sounds so cautious, so shy... her voice trembles a little.

"Oppa?? Why Oppa? I'm sure this guy is younger than me." She asked, flustered.

"Because then you'll think of me when you call him." I told her. Her eyes got big, her cheeks turned red and she turned her head down.

"YAHH don't say stuff like thaaat!" She said, trying to hide her cheeks.

"Why not?" I asked, wanting her to look up so I could see her cute expression. I would take a picture and frame it forever if I could.

She pulled her head up, looked me in the eyes and said, "Because it makes my heart flutter!!" before turning around and running off. I would have stopped her, but my knees became weak.

How can she say something so cute? I don't understand! I sat down, trying to absorb her cuteness and regain sanity.

"MoonByul, don't do that too me." I said out loud.

I won't be able to control myself if you're that cute.
