It All Started With A Game (Shownu x Reader)

Chapter 9

□■□

"should we go watch them too?", Shownu asked his girlfriend. "but oppa, I don't like games, games are so loud and it hurts my ears~ let's just stay here and cuddle okay?", Min-ah leaned on his shoulder with a smile.

'but I have to make sure that they aren't doing anything to her', Shownu shifted his eyes from her girlfriend to the café's door.

They were behaving like kids whose happy because they got a candy. I couldn't help but to smile. I actually didn't mind buying it for them, my papa is their manager after all and papa always give me allowance every week..... sometimes I think papa gave too much allowance than how much I needed.

"aniya, you're playing with us! You shouldn't just watch us playing, where's the fun in that? Just think of it as a push force from thinking of that racer", Jooheon drag me into the arcade. "but we have to pay first, how can we play when we don't even have a token", I sweatdropped. Jooheon whined but sighed in the end, "ok fine, make it quick".

While they went into the arcade to check out the games, I went back to the counter and smiled to the counter, "I'm paying for the 6 boys who-!", my words went to a stop when the male in the counter smiled up to me and said, "someone paid for you guys, here are the tokens". Furrowing my brows together, I asked who it was. The counter male simply replied with a smile, "he said 'The Annoying Racer'".

The..... annoying racer?

The annoying racer!??

He's here!!??

"uh? Cheogiyo(excuse me), how does this guy looks like?", I asked even further while placing my both hands on the counter. "he's tall... spiky hair.... and wore white and black checkered button up shirt with ripped arm sleeves", he explained. "thank you so much!", I left the counter while carrying the tokens in my hands.

Should I go search for that annoying racer and yell at him for making me lose the game? I'll go find that guy after giving the boys the tokens.

"you're late, what took you so long (name)-ah?", Minhyuk pouted at me. "I just got some infos regarding that annoying racer, the counter said that the annoying racer paid for us so I'm going to search for him while you guys play games", I smiled while handing them 20 tokens each.

Juheon and Minhyuk's eyes widened by a fraction.

"annoying....racer?", Kihyun thought to himself before he looked at me.

"what are you going to do when you found him?", Jooheon asked carefully, "are you going to thank him for buying us tokens?". I looked at him and tried to speculate a bit, "I'll thank him after I yell at him... ciao!", I walked away to find the said annoying racer.

"is it really okay for her to find out who it was?", I heard I.M asked lastly before I was away from distance hearing.

I started searching for that guy after passing by the counter male who was just smiling as he saw me rushed around but I didn't care since searching that annoying racer is my top priority right now. Like how the hell did he know that we were going to play in the arcade.

Is he a stalker or something?

Minhyuk and Jooheon even knew who that guy is. God, I'm so curious! I have to yell at that guy for cheating all the time. It pisses me off just by thinking of it.

Black and white checkered button up shirt..... I let my eyes wander around as I searched for any guy who wore that kind of shirt.

Then I saw it, the guy that matched the words he said, tall, spiky hair and white and black checkered button up shirt. I rushed over to his side and grabbed his arm, "yah! Are you the annoying racer?". He turned his whole body to look at me, "huh?".

"..y-you are the annoying racer, right?", I asked again. He looked at me and his face went red, "yes..". I sighed to myself, "for a while I thought I got the wrong person....", I look at him, "you're younger than me, aren't you?". "I'm in the year 1995", he replied. I nodded my head before I smiled, "1994".

"umm...can I treat you some food or drinks or anything?", he asked before he smiled, "ah right! I'm Kim Taehyung from BTS, I'm wondering why you don't recognise me". "Kim Taehyung? I only knew that MonstaX are close with BTS but I never met BTS in person", I smiled to him. He's not that annoying as much as he is in the game.

"nice to meet you then, what's your name?", he asked as he extend his hand for me to hold. I hold his hand after thinking twice, "I'm (name)". "let's go buy bubble tea? My treat", he stretched his smile into a box smile. I nodded my head, "okay".

He walked by me, "so you play asphalt 8, hunh? I never really thought that a girl like you would play a racing game... I thought games like that does not spark any interest to any girls but I was wrong, hahaha~". I smirked, "Jooheon-ii called me 'The Goddess of Games', because I'm so good in games~", I laughed to myself in the end.

He looked at me with widened eyes, "you're close to hyung? How's that even possible?". I furrowed my brows together while thinking, "....ah right! I didn't told you yet that I'm MonstaX's manager's daughter... Jooheon-ii and Minhyuk-ii are my bestfriends even before they debuted ..even when they were in No Mercy", we talked and talked until we arrive at the bubble tea shop.

He bought 2 bubble tea for us both. He handed it to me as we took a seat next to eachother. "what is your username in Asphalt 8?". "(username)...", I replied before I slurped the bubble tea before chewing the black thingy, "um~ this  jelly thingy is yummy!".

He chuckled as he watched me chew, "it's pearl". My eyes sparkled in excitement, "mashita!". "I know right!". Just then my phone rang, I fished my phone from my pocket and looked at the caller id. It was Minhyuk.

"excuse me, let me take the call okay?", I smiled at him before I got up and walked away a little, "ne, Minhyuk-ii?".

"eodiga(where are you?)"

"I'm having bubble tea, why?"

"won't you play game with us?"

I could hear from his voice that he was pouting a little which made me giggle in return.

"what's so funny, (name)-ah?", I heard Taehyung's voice behind me so I turn around and was startled to see him there.

"why aren't you sitting down?", I asked to Taehyung and he just smiled before he ushered me to look behind him where we previously sat so I peeked to our previous seat and it was occupied by an old man and an old woman which made me smile.

"yah....is someone with you? Who is it? Come back here! Nevermind! Tell me where you are (name)-ah"

"gwenchana Minhyuk-ii~ I'm hanging out with the Annoying Racer"

"why do I think you got the wrong person?.... just come back here (name)-ah, we're getting worried, please?".

There it was, the word 'Please'. I always obliged to what people said when they say the word 'please'.

"okay Minhyuk-ii, I'll be there in a few", I sighed in the end before hanging up. "you're leaving?", Taehyung made a sad face. I nodded my head, "I'm afraid so...we can see each other next time, y'know~". He grinned, "okay! Can I have your phone number, then?".

"ne?", I look up at him with a confused look. He chuckled, "your number, let's exchange numbers". My mouth went agape for 3 seconds before I smiled and nodded, "sure", and so we exchanged numbers. "done! Till we meet again next time, Taehyung-ii, it was fun talking with you-!", my words were cut off when Taehyung suddenly embraced me in his arms.

"me too! I had fun too, tee-hee~", he pulled away and pushed me away gently with his cute box smile, "go now or Minhyuk-hyung will be worried~ now bye bye", he waved a hand to me while I was still in my trance but I snapped to reality because he was right. I nodded my head and waved him goodbye before rushing to walk away to the arcade.

As the arcade was in sight,  I saw all of them, the boys, stood in line and was waiting infront of the entrance, I sweatdropped, why are they waiting for me like this. When I was visible in their sight, two of my bestfriends rushed over to me and hugged me instantly,  while the other four walked over to me.
