"you missed again."

"i know."

"and again."

"yes, i know."

"and-"

you shoved the controller into wonwoo's hands, "i give up." you sat down and crossed your arms as the game showed a "game over" sign on the screen.

you and your best friend, wonwoo, were at an arcade. he usually hung out at the arcade with friends, but you came because of a failed blind date.

wonwoo put some tokens into the machine and started playing the zombie game that you two were at. you watched as he nailed every shot as if he practiced playing beforehand.

"are you just going to show off at every game we play tonight?" you asked him.

"considering how you're so bad at playing video games? yea," he replied. "did the guy show up?" he asked you.

"no. why do you think i'm here right now?" you replied to him.

"i think you need to chill with all these dates, y/n," he said to you and cleared the game. he put the controller down and turned to face you.

you looked away and shrugged, "yea, you're right. these dates have been horrible anyways," you mentioned.

"cause all those guys aren't good. you need to find someone who's better than all those losers," wonwoo said to you. "what about mingyu?" he asked.

"mingyu? no, he's great, but i think he's into that girl on the soccer team," you replied. you sighed and dropped your head back to look at the ceiling. "i think the universe is just telling me that i'm supposed to be single for the rest of my life," you said to him, "become one of those crazy cat ladies instead."

"you shouldn't think like that," wonwoo replied. you heard him put more tokens into the machine, and he started playing the game again.

"kind of hard not to think like this when every date i've been on has either been horrible or the guy ghosted me," you replied to him and moved your head back. "any of your friends single? besides mingyu?" you asked him. you didn't really know his friends too well, but wonwoo mentioned them quite a bit when you two would hang out.

"i mean, i do know someone who is looking to date," he answered.

"who?" you asked.

"hang on, let me win," he replied and continued playing the game. you watched him play for a few minutes before winning. "yes!" he cheered, watching his score appear on the screen, beating the previous high score.

you kicked him in the back of the knee to make him turn around to look at you. he placed the controller down on the counter.

"who's looking to date?" you asked him, being relatively impatient for the past few minutes.

"me."

"you?"

"me."

"you?"

"are we going to keep repeating things to each other today?" wonwoo asked you. "you, i want to go on a date with you, y/n."

"you're joking."

"and if i told you i liked you since senior year?" he asked again.

"you're still joking."

wonwoo rolled his eyes at you before signing. "y/n, i like you. let's go on a date, right now."

you sat there, frozen. you stared at wonwoo while he sighed again. then, he grabbed your arm to pull you up.

"we're going on a date."
