I helplessly dragged Taehyung out of the school gates and towards the local mall near our school. It was honestly a relief to just spend some nice alone time with him again. Despite spending 10 years with him I still enjoy being with him alone. At the beginning of trying to get Jungkook and Taehyung together, I didn't mind helping my friend because I just wanted him to be happy but lately, something just makes me feel weird when they're together. I'm starting to trust Jungkook less and less but I'm afraid Taehyung is too blind to see any bad side of his crush even if he outright does something wrong. So right now it's nice to have Taehyung just to myself for a few hours, where I can keep an eye on him. 

"Hurry up Park!" Taehyung cheered as he ran into the arcade like a child. I giggled to myself as I entered the building following the teenager. "What do we play first?" he questioned scanning through the different machines. 

"I know I would ruin you at car racing," I challenged, walking over to the game and putting $2 in the slot. The loud noises and music started blaring from game indicating from us to start. The two of us took our sits behind the pretend steering wheel as we got prepared.

"No, no, no oh God!" Taehyung threw his hands down on his lap as he cried in defeat.

"Sorry baby, it's just my talent," I bragged with a massive smile as I got up from the sit. 

"Don't call me baby after you beat me!" He followed me from the game, coming to poke my sides playfully causing both of us to start laughing. "I wanna rematch on dance dance revolution!" He demanded. 

"Fine whatever but don't give your hopes up," I said as Taehyung places another $2 into the machine as we watched the selection screen come up. 

"What song?" Taehyung asked. I scanned the options before deciding on "Latata" by (G)i-dle. "Oh, I'm going to destroy you."

Well, he wasn't wrong, he did destroy me, by quite a lot of points. I didn't realize how fast his feet were able to move along the 5 squares. It was entertaining to watch his body concentrate so hard on where to step is feet. His tongue subtle stuck out from his mouth while his hair danced comically on his head as he jumped up and down. Small beads of sweat would trickle down his forehead while every now and then a bright smile would appear on his face everytime he would get a perfect score. 

Okay, so in my defense, I wasn't really paying attention to the game obviously. 

"That's just not fair, I didn't know you were good!," I argued as I playfully shoved him off the board. 

"It's not my fault I'm talented!" he protested as he began to look around more of the arcade. I quietly followed behind before we came across the air hockey table. 

"Okay how about this, we'll play one last game of air hockey and it'll determine a winner for today!" I offered while going to one end of the table as Taehyung curiosity stood on the other side. 

"Hmm depends, what does the winner get?" he asked eyeing me down. 

"Hmm," I got lost in my thoughts for a minute to think, my thoughts went back moments ago when watching Taehyung dance around which managed to get a particular idea stuck in my head. "If I win, I get to kiss you."

"Kiss me?" he questioned a little taken back as he eye widened.

"Yeah, what's wrong? Are you embarrassed by me?" I asked tauntingly. 

"No! Fine, I'll kiss you if you win, here in front of everyone," Taehyung crossed his arms in an attempt to act confident. "But what do I get if I win?"

I had to remember something that Taehyung liked and my head immediately went to Jungkook. Remembering him brought Hoseok's party back into my head which gave me an idea. I wasn't fond of the idea, but in the end, I guess it would make Taehyung happy.

"If you win, I'll get you and Jungkook in a room alone at Hoseok's Party," I offered with a half smile. I watched as his face lit up with happiness and a smile quickly form on his face. 

"Okay! Yes, best out of 3 wins! You're on!" he challenged, fastly pulling out another dollar and placing it where it belongs.

The puck quickly flew past the little dots on the board, it glided past my side swiftly onto Taehyung's side before falling into his goal. "WOO!" I yelled in victory as my score finally outweighed his and I won the game. I watched as he dramatically threw his air hockey striker across the board. He smiled back at me but I could tell he was sad about something. 

"Aww what's wrong?" despite me basically mocking him, I still wanted to make sure he was okay. 

"I'm just sad cause I really wanted a room with Jungkook," Taehyung's cheek began to blush as he hid his face in his hands from embarrassed. I internally sighed, I hated seeing him get so sad over things, especially boys. 

I chewed on my lip, trying to meet in between. "Okay... how about if this kiss is good, I'll make sure I'll get you that room," I reluctantly negotiated. It was worth it though, seeing his face light back up with energy just made me even happier. 

I walked around the table to walk over towards the boy who also began walking to me. I was in a good mood so I decided to be cheeky, I grabbed his waist and quickly dragged his body closer to mine before pressing his lips against mine. He gave a small noise out of surprise but realize what was happening and started to kiss back. My other hand came up to cup his face as his rested on my chest. 

There were people around us but I don't think either of us cared or really took any notice. We softly kissed for a few seconds but backing away gently. 

"W-Was that okay?" Taehyung whispered. The fun atmosphere between had now switched to something more sensual, which hasn't really happened before. But I couldn't help but get a wave of heat throughout my body upon hearing his soft whispers. 

"Yeah Tae it was great," I muttered back. 

"S-So I'll get a room with Jungkook?" he asked. I wanted to roll my eyes, of course, he ruined our moment by Jungkook. But I didn't because I couldn't bear to make him sad. 

"Yeah, a deals a deal right?"
