◍ cafe

@α☄kim minseok Hoseok shook his head, the smile on his face still intact. "I honestly don't mind not playing this," he refused, nudging the other alpha little to get him to play. However, seeing the look of determination in Minseok's eyes made him change his mind, just by a little. He was about to move forward to share the spot with him, but a loud bang took him by surprise. Seeing his friend doubling over in pain, he leaned closer, trying to see where he was hurt. He pursed his lips and squatted down, frowning at the other's knee as if it was its fault. "It's okay Seokkie, it's just a bump." He tried to smile as reassuringly as he could, gently placing his hand over where Minseok had hit his knee.

@α❅jung hoseok Minseok saw there was only one available game causing him to pout. He wants to play with Hoseok. Turning to look at his friend, he grabbed his arm and pulled him closer to the game. "We can share one. I really want to play with you, Seokkie." He took the coins the alpha gave him earlier and bent down to put the coins in the slot. When he did he banged his knee against the metal of the coin slot and knelt down on his other holding his knee in pain. "Owowowowow." There were small tears in his eyes as he looked up at Hoseok. "I hit my knee," he pouted.

@Ω☣nam taehyun "I don't plan on going anywhere." Taemin nodded his head as if to prove his point and smiled wide. The omega remembered everything about his childhood, and Taehyun made it more enjoyable. He loved every memory of them both and was happy the other hadn't found someone to replace him. "It's okay, I haven't had anyone like you either. I kind of felt that we would meet again and look at us now! It's great." Taemin chuckled softly, his hand reaching across the table to poke the others pout. "No pouting! We both agreed to stay by each other so be happy for me, okay?" The omega smiled once more as he watched his friend.

@α☄kim minseok "No need to be sorry. We both get excited really easily, so I understand." He shook his head and gave the other a gentle smile. "But just watch out, okay? Now let's just play skee ball, and not worry about that." As he concluded his sentence, he gave an encouraging pat on Minseok's back before he was pulled over to the machines. He struggled to keep up in the first moment but soon regained his footing, stopping just behind the other. He stood to the side and let the other alpha go ahead, seeing as there was only one free space left. "I'll watch you play," he said, flashing Minseok's a bright smile.

@α❅jung hoseok "I'm okay." Minseok's heart raced from his almost fall, hands shake from the slight adrenaline rush. He has to be more careful and he knows that. If his parents were here they'd scold him for being so careless. "Neh, Seokkie. I'm sorry. I got too excited again, didn't I?" Standing straight, he took his bag from Hoseok and slung it on his back, before grabbing his hand and running to the ski-ball machines. "Let's play ski-ball next. That's another game I'm good at."

(That's okay.)

@Ω☣lee taemin Taehyun wasn't ready yet, but was glad they could move quickly pass the subject.
"Good because I'm not going to let you leave me again."Taehyun hummed softly in agreement, thinking back at the fond memories he had of his friend,"Me too..I miss what we had. I haven't had a friend like you since.. well since you."He mumbles softly, his lips unconsciously forming a small pout,"I won't let you leave, or be taken again."

@Ω☣nam taehyun Taemin frowned a bit at Taehyuns actions and spoke in a soft voice. "We'll talk about this later, okay?" A small nod was given before the other could reply and Taemin chuckled a bit. "Im not just saying it, I mean it! I don't want to leave you." Taemin adored the omega and he didn't want to have him out of his life again. It was a sad time for him and he didn't want to go through that again. "I'm happy to hear that! I hope we can get back to the way we were, I like how close we were back then..i want that back." Taehyun was the closest thing the omega had to family and he couldn't help but feel attached to him.

@Ω☣lee taemin Taehyun's fake smile falls and he just nods instead, but quickly moves on from the subject. It wasn't the time or place to talk about that."You're not just saying that to make me happy right Hyung?"He grins and fights the urge to hug the other omega again, choosing instead to take a sip of his drink to calm himself,"Of course I am! As long as you want to be with me, Im here for you. It's nice to have a friend for a change."Taehyun regretted bringing up phones, he hoped that it had not come off as him not wanting to spend time face to face with Taemin. He just had not wanted to scare his friend away, like he had felt he had as a child.

@Ω☣nam taehyun Taemin tilted his head a bit at Taehyuns smile. It was off from what he had just received moments ago. "Is it still that bad? I had hoped it got better over some time.." he knew of the omegas brothers and how they treated others but he had hoped they changed a bit. Taemin gave a small smile and shook his head. "Not even when I graduate, I'm sticking around you." The omegas smile seemed more real and it made Taemin grin widely. "Phones? I guess that's true but I want to be around you more so there'll be no need for a phone. Are you okay with that? Me hanging around you so much?" A soft chuckle was given as the omega looked to Taehyun. He missed him dearly and didn't want to spend any unnecessary time away.

@Ω☣lee taemin Taehyun forced a smile and nods at Taehyun's words, knowing then that he did not really remember them but chose not to spoke up. His brothers were always good at fooling people, but everything was different behind closed doors.
"Really? Not even when you graduate?"The younger omega asks hopefully, a genuine smile replacing the fake one,"I mean now we can have phones and stuff so it should be super easy to keep in touch from now on!"

@kim minseok Hoseok put a finger to his lips and winced as Minseok started cheering at his victory, despite the noise of the arcade. "Not so loud!" he chuckled. The moment Minseok tripped over his bag, he tried to dive forward, but the other managed to hold onto the table. A short sigh of relief left his lips. "Are you okay Seokkie?" he asked, checking on Minseok just to make sure. He pulled the other alpha's bag aside and tutted. "You need to be careful."

[Sorry for the late reply agh]

@nam taehyun Taemin listened to the other omega, giving him all of his focus. He nodded his head knowing what Taehyun was referring to and smiled a bit. "How are you brothers? I hope your family's doing good." Taemin thought back to the youngers family and chuckled a bit, in a way he kind of felt comfortable with them. He was happy that Taehyun could finally focus on himself though, that made him smile brightly. "I wished for the same, and I'm really happy it actually came true! But what do you mean a little while more? I don't plan on having us separated again Hyunnie." Taemin grinned widely before glancing around the café. The omega was glad he chose to walk in because he could've missed meeting with Taehyun again and now they could make up for lost time.

@lee taemin Taehyun grins widely, memories of Taemin as a younger wolf rushing back and filling the omega with a warm, comforting feeling. He almost felt like a child again, with no worries or fears weighing him down.
"I'm sorry Taeminnie~ You remember how my brothers were don't you..? It got to a point where I hardly had time to myself.. but I'm here now, and they're stuck back home. I missed being with you too, I really wish we would have had more time together, but it looks like my wish has been granted!"Taehyun nods happily then quickly adds,"Even if only for a little while more."

@jung hoseok Minseok was so into the game he didn't realize how much time passed. Either he lost track of it or Hoseok so bad at it the game went quickly. If his score and Hoseok's score was anything to go by, then Hoseok definitely so bad there wasn't much point playing against him. Regardless a win is a win and Minseok loves winning. Clapping his hands, he jumped up and down. "I win! I win! I win!" In his excitement he kicked his leg out, hiding his bag hard enough to trip. If it wasn't for the table he grabbed onto to stop his fall he would have hit the floor.

@kim minseok "I probably won't win, but it doesn't hurt to try," Hoseok narrowed his eyes and watched the puck slide its way over to Minseok. It shot back almost instantly, and Hoseok made a quick move to block its path, but it rebounded and returned to Minseok's side anyway. The second time it returned, he managed to land a solid hit, but lost the ability to keep track on its frantic movements. Soon enough, the game ended. The winner was, obviously, Minseok. "Okay okay, good game! What do we play next?"

@jung hoseok Minseok jumped up and down happily, clapping his hands and cheering. "Yay! I scored one off you myself. You won't win Seokkie!" His cheering was short lived when he got back into position. The next hit was light, which mean the puck was slow. So slow anyone could hit it and direct it's movements. Once it was close enough to him, he hit it with lightning speed to the side of the table causing it to bounce to the other end quickly and back to his end just as quickly where it repeated the same move. When it came back this time he aimed for Hoseok's goal.

@kim minseok Hoseok laughed, and at the same moment the puck shot right into his goal. He groaned at himself for not paying attention. "I'll score some points, just you watch!" he yelled in his excitement, getting flustered by the second by his repeated failure. He wasn't great at the game, but he was going to try get to half of Minseok's level. "Don't laugh at me, I know I'm bad at it." He reluctantly placed the puck on the table and hit it lighter this time, making sure he put all of his focus on its movement.

@jung hoseok Minseok cheered when Hoseok accidentally scored him a goal. The scoreboard went from 00-00 to 01-00. "Thanks Seokkie! Keep giving me points, okay?" He didn't cheer for long, however. Hoseok would take the chance to score against him if he's not careful. Once again guarding his goal he waited for the shot, eyes following the puck as it hit the table back and forth. Once it was close enough he shot out and sent it back with speed and accuracy. Minseok wasn't good a lot of things, but air-hockey was one of the few he was good at.

@kim minseok Hoseok managed to block the puck as it sped its way toward him, causing it to flicker between the two sides of the table. However, in his excitement and panic, he miscalculated his actions. While he retrieved his hand to block his goal, he accidentally knocked the puck backward. As a result, Minseok scored a point. Hoseok pursed his lips and sighed. "This one's on me Seokkie!" he laughed, dismissing his almost immediate failure. He picked up the puck and pressed it onto the table once again, using all of his might to tackle it across to his best friend's side. His hand holding the paddle was placed against the goal afterward, trying his very best to prevent the other from scoring.

@jung hoseok Minseok wasn't expecting for Hoseok to hit it right away and he would have complained, but the puck was upon him before he could make a sound. Reflexes fast and sharp (the only time they are), he hit it back to Hoseok. The collide sounded like thunder cracking when his thingamabob hit the puck. He hit it at an angle causing it to bounce off the side and aim right for Hoseok's goal. In the meantime he kept his goal guarded, his eyes never leaving the puck ready for a counter attack.

@kim minseok Hoseok stared at it for a moment before replying, "I'm not sure but I think it's paddle of sorts?" He never really gave a thought about it, it was just a thing, he had never once questioned its existence. Shrugging, he placed the puck on the table and hit it over to Minseok, watching it fly around in all directions as it collided with the edges of the table. The sound that resulted was fairly soft compared to the blaring music of the other machines and the buzzing from the other people.

@jung hoseok Minseok would have clapped his hands if they weren't full. He gets to eat well for the next few days then. Putting his money back in his wallet, then dropping it into his bag, he zipped it up, but left it on the floor next to his legs. Playing air-hockey with a bag on his back would only slow him down. Once Hoseok was back and put the coins in the slot, he grabbed the-the...thingamabobby that you hit the puck with. "Seokkie, what's this thing called?" He waved it around.

@kim minseok "Put that down, it's my treat. I called you up to meet after all," Hoseok tutted, holding up a finger. He took out his own wallet from his pocket. "Stay here, I'll go change these for coins." Walking through the crowd to the counter was going to be an ordeal. He did survive, however, popping out from the last wall of humans to the air-hockey table. He clinked the coins in his hands, inserting the needed amount into the slot. "Here we go!" he cheered as the familiar clink of the puck dropping reached his ears.

@jung hoseok Minseok took the coins, pouting when he said there was only enough for one game. "Only one? Aww." How were they supposed to play anything else if they didn't have enough coins for more than one game? This . Then he thought about the money he might have in his wallet. Setting his backpack down, he dug around for it and thought for a moment he lost that too, before grabbing it at the last minute. Opening it he pulled out a few dollars. It's supposed to be for food only, but he's due for more allowance in a few days, so it'll be okay. "Here. You can get more coins with this, right?" He asked as he handed his money to Hoseok.

@nam taehyun Taemin nodded his head slowly, agreeing with the others words though he was somewhat skeptical.
"Okay.. I'll take your word on that." Watching Taehyun get embarrassed over his statement had the omega tapping his chin softly, bringing his gaze back up. "Hey, it's alright. I haven't mated either so my scent's still the same a that little wolf who could barely shift when needed."Taemin chuckled as he tried to lighten the others mood. Hearing him say he was free made a wide, toothy smile appear on the omegas lips. "That's great!" With a nod of his head, Taemin held the omegas hand happily as he moved towards the empty table and sat down, refusing to let go of his hand. "Hyunnie...where have you been all this time? I really missed you--being with you, its really been too long.." A sad smile was given as Taemin watched to younger male curiously. He seemed so different yet it was like he didn't change at all in some ways and that was something Taemin was grateful for.

@lee taemin "Shh, no it's okay. The important thing is that now we have each other again, we'll make it work."Taehyun promised, smiling a moment later and nodding as he looked down and the ground shyly,"Well, I haven't mated with anyone.. so my scent has stayed the same since puberty, which imagine is still similar to when I was a kid?"The omega grins and shakes his head,"Nope! Not today, I'm all yours hyung." Taehyun reaches over to grab Taemin's hand in his own without much thought and squeezes it gently,"I'd love that too, do you want to sit down with me?" He asks, motioning to the empty table behind him.

@kim minseok He nearly got elbowed in the stomach as he tried to navigate his way around. Not a good start. Hoseok shrugged it off and finally managed to get to the air-hockey table, to his relief. He opened up his wallet and searched through the coin pocket. "Yeah I have a few here," he replied, handing all the coins he had to Minseok. "That should be enough for one game at the very least!"

@jung hoseok Minseok almost saluted him with the hand that held his cup, so he quickly switched hands, saluted, then started his "car" to continue down the street. Once at the arcade he lead Hoseok inside, eyes scanning the crowd to see which of his favorite games is free. On the other side of the room was a free air-hockey table, so he hurriedly squeezed through the crowd to get there first. He made it to the table in record time and dug in his pocket for coins when he realized he didn't have any. "Seokkie, do you have coins?"

@kim minseok "Yes Officer Seok-Seok!" Hoseok playfully saluted and continued "driving" down the street with Minseok. They soon reached the arcade, which was filled with people, as usual. "Lead the way, we'll play whatever you want." Hoseok was not a fan of the idea of having to squeeze past people to get to the machines, but there was no other way. He was here to play, after all, and so was everyone else.

@jung hoseok Minseok laughed, holding his arms out in front of him like he was driving a car, weaving in and out of people to avoid hitting him. He was having so much fun that when Hoseok stopped moving and let him go he looked behind him disappointed that he didn't continue, but his laughter made him laugh louder. So much so he almost dropped drink. "Come on Seokkie. You're lagging behind. We have to get to the arcade so we can play until they close."
