"Oh Xiu Ying darling!", the said girl turned to the voice, and smiled seeing who it was.
"Nari why do you have to be so loud?", Donghyuck whined in embarrassment. Nari tsked before shoving him away, gave him a glare and continued skipping towards Xiu Ying who only stared in amusement.
"You're a bit too mean to your sister, Hyuck", Jaemin chuckled.
"Says the one who headlocks his sister every single time", Jihye coughed.
"It's my way of showing love to you~", With grabby hands, Jaemin advanced towards Jihye only stepped backwards before sprinting away. "Leave me alone!"
"Why~? Nana wants to play~"
"Junnie if you don't stop laughing and help me I swear!"
"I would, but it's my best friend. Bros before hoes you know?"
"I'M THE SISTER OF YOUR BEST FRIEND AND ALSO YOUR GIRLFRIEND!", Jihye yelled as the twins ran around, Jaemin inching closer with grabby hands and pouted lips.
Renjun laughed a bit more before coming close. Putting a hand across Jaemin's abdomen, he pushed him away letting the girl escape. "Awww Renjun why?", Jaemin pouted. Renjun only shrugged.
"Damn Jihye, you have it hard. But Hyuck here doesn't stop pranking me", Nari said as she lent a bottle for Jihye which she quickly accepted after running for some time.
"Enough talking! Aren't we supposed to hangout?", Xiu Ying crossed her arms playfully.
"Let's go get some bubble tea, shall we?", Jeno suggested with everyone agreeing.
It has been around 30 minutes, everyone got their drinks already, and now they were walking together in a loud group.
"Oh my god are those Ryan plushies?", Jaemin perked up at a specific store that had the loveable bear character.
"The carrot?", Jeno teased. Jaemin gave him a playful slap.

"It's orange, round, big, has two eyes and the mouth and nose are connected yet you still thought it was a carrot"
"How was I supposed to know?"
"You're my second best friend!"
Jeno eyesmiled. "Okay then, second best friend. Let's go look at some carrot plushies shall we?", Without another word Jeno pulled Jaemin towards the store leaving the group.
"Jisung?"
"Mark hyung!", Jisung went up towards the boy and waved. "What are you doing here?", Without realization the boy ended up following Mark and drifted apart from the group as well.
"Look, everyone's leaving us behind", Nari pouted. Donghyuck swung an arm across her shoulder. "Soon the lovebirds behind are gonna leave us too, so let's do it first. Race you to the food stalls!"
"Hey! No fair!", Nari chased after her older brother.
It was now only Jihye, Renjun, Xiu Ying and Chenle left. While the couple playfully teased each other, Chenle decided to do something.
Pulling Xiu Ying by the wrist, the two ran away from the couple. "Chenle!"
"What? Would you rather have fun or be a thirdwheeler?", He yelled back.
Unknowingly, Xiu Ying smiled as the two ran towards a specific area.
"500 tokens please", Chenle smiled at the cashier. Getting a card, he turned around and faced the girl who stood silently.
"Come on, we're at the arcade. Let's play something shall we?", Bubble tea long discarded, the two went towards a machine.
"Let's play Dance Dance Revolution!", Xiu Ying chirped. Chenle only smiled and nodded. "I bet I can play better than you"
"Oh you did not just say that", Xiu Ying glared. "Bring it on, dolphin"
Stepping at each steps according to the screen, the two yelled loud in the already noisy arcade as they tried to hit all the beats.

"Told ya I can play better", Chenle smiled teasingly. Xiu Ying stomped her foot, similar to a child. "Not fair, I demand a rematch!"
Chenle grabbed her by the wrist for the nth time that day. "Let's try something else instead", The girl looked at her wrist and blushed a bit at the small yet impactful contact.
"Basketball?", She quirked an eyebrow. "We played what you wanted to, now let's play what I want!", Chenle said loudly.
Playing in sync, the two threw balls with hope they'll enter the hoop. Laugh and screams erupted as the two teens tried hard to beat each other.
"Surprisingly I'm better at basketball than you", Xiu Ying stood her head proud.
Chenle and Xiu Ying were now walking around after playing a couple of games already. Seeing what else they could play, the chatted and bickered making the two look like a cute couple. Some cooed at their cuteness, others were annoyed at their loud senses.
"Shall we play this?", Xiu Ying pointed at a particular machine.
"Ridin'?", Chenle looked at her. "Do you even know how to ride a motorbike?"
Xiu Ying rolled her eyes. "It's just a game, chill", She swiftly took the card from his hand and scanned it.
"One round together! Please?", Xiu Ying pleaded.
Chenle looked away in shyness, silently fawning over the girl's cuteness. "S-sure", He suddenly stuttered.
Getting on the fake bikes, the two stretched and got ready to 'ride'. Watching the screen, it was counting down to the start of the game.
'Start' was visible on the screen, the two rode the bikes as if it were the real thing. Of course, it was just a harmless game.
But it somehow turned into the real thing, as Chenle took it seriously and accelerated with precision. Getting carried away, he drifted and sped up as if he was on a chase.
Eyes dark, it was no longer Chenle but Devil Rider instead.
"Wow you were amazing!", Xiu Ying let out a gasp. "How did you even learn to play like that?", Met with only silence, Xiu Ying turned to face the boy.
With a blank stare, he looked down. Thoughts swarmed his head, not Chenle but Devil Rider. He didn't hear Xiu Ying, or anything in particular.
His dark persona, taken over his mind. Xiu Ying slowly put a hand on his shoulder and gently shook him, making him regain notice of where he was again.
"Are you okay?"
