It All Started With A Game (Shownu x Reader)

Chapter 8

"yah! I told you not to cheat!", Juheon whined before he stood up and went back to the race.

I have to beat this annoying racer so I could rest in peace, I started gathering yellow nitros until it's full before I pressed the nitro so I could speed up and luckily I happened to wreck the annoying racer's car which made me be in the first place.

Continuing driving fastly, I smiled to my heart's content as I saw the finish line, I hope there isn't any hindrance like before cu'z if there is, I'm never gonna forgive that person.

And darn my life, a car blocked me from going fast.

It was that Stupid Annoying Racer! I tried to wreck the car and I was near to succeed until..... my car and his car wrecked and that made me stood up from my seat, right then Minhyuk's car and Jooheon's car went passed us and got first and second place.

"this...annoying...stupid..low-life....horrendous...-!", before I even complete my oh-so-cool-profanities, Hyungwon covered my lips and smiled at me, "ije kkeuman haja(let's just stop)". I look at him and put his hand down from my lips to pout.

"aha~ I know this is the first time you lost but don't be too sad", Jooheon placed his warm hand on my head, ruffling it ever-so-gently. "I'm not sad about losing!..... This stupid low-life-!", my line was cut off by Hyungwon again when he covered my mouth. "profanity is so unlikely for a girl, especially a sweet girl like you", Hyungwon smiled sweetly as an attempt to stop my rampage and guess what? He succeeded.

"I know that racer did that on purpose but don't let it get to you", he continued before he pulled me into a warm and comfortable hug. I let myself lean my head on his chest, he's so tall.....like him.

A flashback flashed in my eyes.

#FLASHBACK#

Papa had to go to the hospital because he got into a car accident, me, all the MonstaX members and the staffs were there, waiting at the waiting room while papa was being surgery in the ER.

I couldn't help myself but to pace back and forth as tears rolled down my cheeks due to my worrisome of papa's condition. My pace went to a stop when I felt a pair of long warm arms encircled around my shaky petite figure. I look up but I couldn't see his face because I felt his hand on the back of my head, making it lean on his warm buff chest.

"he'll be fine".

His voice sounds familiar.

Just by hearing his deep warm voice made me feel at ease.

I looked up nonetheless and found out that it was.....Shownu. My heart flutters seeing him close to me like this, I feel safe in his arms and I didn't want him to let me go.

#FLASHBACK END#

Tears started to pile up in my eyes as I remembered how clueless I was back then. I missed Shownu's warm touch, I missed Shownu's deep voice whispering to my ear, I missed everything about him.

Now I'm too late.

I blinked my eyes so that my tears won't fall down my cheeks. I was still in Hyungwon's arm as he was moving us side to side to ease me. This guy never failed to make me smile.

I pulled away and smiled at him, "thank you, Hyungwon-ii... I needed that hug a lot". He smiled softly and nodded before ushering me to seat down and I obliged. Once I obliged, there he was, seating next to his girlfriend but was staring at me while his girlfriend wanted his attention.

Sighing to myself, I tilt my head to Jooheon, "so I owe you guys games in arcade right?". Jooheon smiled but stopped himself, "but...if you don't want to, it's okay though.... you WERE sad because of THAT RACER". Why is he emphasizing it in a louder voice? He could just said it in a normal tone instead of emphasizing it.

Minhyuk who was on my left, placed his arm around my neck, "it's okay you know... it's because of THAT RACER you lost the game". Now why is he emphasizing it? I tilt my head to look at Minhyuk with a wondering look on my face.

"you guys are so funny", Kihyun stifled his own laughter while he stared at us.

"......", I was lost in thought before I quickly replied, "ah, ani... I'm the loser after all, I'll buy it", I smiled sweetly.

"are you sure??? Don't make me feel guilty eomma~", Jooheon's nickname for me made me widened my eyes a little. "yeah eomma.... we don't want to feel guilty since you DID lose the game because of that CHINGU(friend) of ours",  Minhyuk continued to emphasize it making it more suspicious.

I sweatdropped but smiled anyway, "it's okay~ I'll pay, shall we go now?? Besides I'm bored just sitting here eating". Minhyuk nodded his head eagerly, "great idea! I'm getting bored here anyway", he got up and pulled me up from my seat, "guys! She's buying us to play games in the arcade".

Wonho stood up instantly, "cheongmalyo?(really?)". I smiled at him and nodded my head, "katchi kkaja(let's go together) Wonho-yah". "sure can do", he smirked, "I.M, Kihyun, you wanna join?". Both of them nodded their head in unison, "definitely".

"let's all just go", Jooheon stood up from his table and pulled Hyungwon with him while Minhyuk pulled me AND while Wonho dragged I.M as Kihyun walked like the world is cheering for him, weird, anyway we were dragged outside the cafe to the nearest game center.
