String of Fate || K.C.W

Chapter 17: Fast Pace

It is finally time for our final exams. I was mentally and physically ready for our final exams. I slept early, exercised regularly and had fun from time to time. I double checked everything I needed to bring to the exam hall. I even had Chaewon check for me as well.

" Wew, I feel so nervous for some reason. "

" I feel you, Y/N. "

" Let's get this done and over with. "

The three of us entered the exam hall and sat at our designated seats. I took deep breaths to calm myself down and be able to think properly. As soon as we were able to begin, I looked at the questions and realised it was easier than I anticipated. I had extra time left so I checked my answers one more time.

" We're finally done with school! "

" What should we do now? "

" Let's go to an arcade! "

Chaewon and I looked at each other and smiled at the same time. The three of us went to the arcade at the mall and spent our time there. Yuri was slightly late as her exam ended later than us. Minju and Chaewon was occupied with the rhythm games in the arcade. Yuri however, was helping me get a plushie in the claw machine.

" Y/N, you're really bad at this. "

" At least I'm trying. "

" You're almost there! "

I kept staring at the claw picking up the plushie. It kept dropping every single time. My hopes were starting to die down bit by bit. Yuri took over and did her first attempt. And of course, she was able to pick up the plushie.

" Aha, take that! "

" Come on, it's just one plushie. "

" Yeah, you're right. "

In the distance, I saw Chaewon closely staring at me while Minju was engrossed with the arcade machine. She noticed me making eye contact with her so she stuck a part of her tongue out and turned around. I wonder why she did that though.

" Y/N? Hello? "

" Yeah? "

" You've ignored me for a while there. "

" My bad. "

Yuri pouts at me and dragged my hand to another claw machine. She probably wants to show me that she was capable of getting most of the prizes in this arcade. We eventually got a small hill of an assortment of prizes.

" How did we get this much...? "

" Give it to Ssamu! "

" Thank you, Yuls. "

" Is that your nickname for me?! "

With that tone, I assumed that Yuri was slightly irritated with the nickname I gave her. However, She looked at me with a bright smile instead. She shook my hands violently and I honestly thought that my hands was going to get ripped off my body.

" Do you not get nicknames by friends? "

" Nope, they just called me normally. "

" I see... "

Yuri looked saddened for a short moment. She quickly changed her expression to a bright smile and wanted me to drag the bag of prizes to Chaewon and Minju. Her facial expressions made me think deeply about what I said to her.
