Nam-gyu was with his team, Thanos, Gyeong-su, Se-mi, and Min-su.
Nam-gyu was zoned out, looking across. His eyes were on this girl, he had recognized her from the second game from earlier, the team that was firstly able to successfully pass the children games.
He saw that she had voted to leave, the X patched onto the right side of her tracksuit. He had saw that her number was ‘095’, the girl he had his gaze on was Kim Young-mi.
He had noticed her anxious and shy demeanor. He thought she was cute, weak and small, but cute.
Young-mi made accidental eye contact with Nam-gyu from across, she flinched from the sudden gaze.
Hyun-ju had noticed this, “What’s wrong Young-mi?”
Young-mi turned to Hyun-ju, hiding behind her trying to hide her face from the man on the other side from her.
“Unnie..someone’s staring at me..that man over there..” She had gestured her head towards his direction.
“Oh, just ignore him, Young-mi, but if he starts causing trouble to you don’t be afraid to come to me.” She said to Young-mi with a reassuring tone.
Thanos had caught Nam-gyu staring at the anxious girl.
“Yo, Nam-su-“
“Nam-gyu.” He snapped out of his daze to corrected Thanos. ‘Stupid bastard can’t get my name right for once.’
“Yeah whatever, what’s up with you and that girl over there?” Thanos pointed at Young-mi.
“Nothing. Don’t worry about it.”
“You like her, don’t you?”
“No..” Nam-gyu tried laughing it off, wiping his face in annoyance.
“Go talk to her bro!” Thanos gestured his head towards her.
Nam-gyu groaned, “Fine, fucking shit.” He muttered under his breath, walking to her side of the room.
Young-mi had saw Nam-gyu and that dude with purple dyed hair having a conversation with each other., ‘Thanos’? Was it?’ She thought.
She had saw Nam-gyu approaching her, Young-mi had saw a frustrated expression on his face, like he didn’t want to do this.
“Unnie..” Young-mi had tugged on Hyun-ju’s sleeve, Hyun-ju had saw that the man was approaching her.
Nam-gyu had his hand over the other, clasping them, his hands shaking nervously.
“Uh hello..” Nam-gyu smiled and gave the two girls a small wave, trying to be polite and not wanting to scare them or throw them off. Especially he knows what player 120 is capable of..
“What do you want from Young-mi?” Hyun-ju asked Nam-gyu, there was sternness and protection in the tone of her voice.
“I just wanted to talk to her..alone..”
Young-mi stared at him with a bit of concern and worry, not knowing what his intentions were.
Hyun-ju and Young-mi stared at each other for a moment, they both shared glances. Hyun-ju nodded muttering, “be careful, Young-mi..”
Young-mi nodded before stepping down from the bunks, walking towards Nam-gyu. Her hands were clammy, letting it be known of how anxious and worried she was.
Nam-gyu had taken her across from where she originally was at, they arrived at his bed.
“Is there a reason to why..to why you’ve been staring at me..?” Young-mi had said lowly, shaking slightly due to his intimidating presence.
Nam-gyu took an awkward gulp, before explaining his reason for the stares.
“I just think you’re really cute, and pretty..” He confessed. Young-mi was taken aback, shocked that someone so intimating to her, would be into her?!
“Oh?!”
Young-mi couldn’t deny herself, she thought he was handsome and attractive to her. Poor Young-mi’s face turned red.
“Do you want to hang out with me and my team for a bit?”
“Uhm sure, yeah!” Young-mi gave out a sweet big grin, she can’t believe it. Someone found her cute!
Nam-gyu laughed nervously, obviously not sure how to do this considering this might be his first relationship with a woman instead of a man.
He reached out, suggesting he wanted to hold hands with her, Young-mi was shaking from how flustered she was. Her clammy, anxious hand, touch his cold, awkward hand.
Nam-gyu walked back to his team trying to keep it casual, alongside with Young-mi who was love-strucked.
Se-mi saw Young-mi, “Who’s the girl? Are you just stealing random women from other teams?”
“Fuck off, bitch. Obviously not. This is Young-mi.” Se-mi just laughed, rolling her eyes.
Young-mi was shaken up from the response, “Sorry about that, she’s just a little shit.” Nam-gyu had whispered to her.
“Yo! Nam-su!”
“It’s Nam-gyu.” Nam-gyu had laughed off Thanos’s error.
“Nam-gyu, yeah. You got her with you? Damn.” Thanos chuckled.
“Nice to meet you, señorita. I introduce you to the ‘Thanos World’.”
Young-mi laughed
Min-su was exactly like Young-mi, felt like they could easily get along with each other.
Min-su just waved at Young-mi and gave her a nervous small smile, Young-mi doing the same.
“I’m Min-su..” He had mumbled.
“Yeah, he’s a dork. Don’t worry too much about him.” Nam-gyu sighed.
“Fuck off, tweaker.” Se-mi chimed in.
“You first bitch.” He gave her a glare.
Gyeong-su waved to Young-mi, giving her a nice genuine smile. She gave him a small smile back.
Once their introduction to the team was over, Nam-gyu had taken Young-mi back to his bed.
They sat on his bed, Nam-gyu caressing Young-mi’s hands, soothing them.
Young-mi felt relaxed, she leaned in closer, their foreheads nearly touching.
That’s when Young-mi realized she had the same feelings as he did, she let their foreheads touch.
Nam-gyu cupped her cheek, his thumb rubbing smooth circles, soothing the muscle on her face.
Nam-gyu had laid down pulling Young-mi down as well, they laid there on his bed, holding each other.
“Would this make us boyfriend and girlfriend..?” Young-mi asked, Nam-gyu nodded.
“Yeah. I guess it does..”
“I think I should head back to my team now..” She sat herself back up.
“Oh yeah, let me walk you back.” He Nam-gyu gave a little peck on Young-mi’s cheek, before going to walk her back. intertwined his fingers with hers, finally now walking back to Young-mi’s team.
Hyun-ju saw them, she sighed in relief knowing Nam-gyu didn’t hurt her. “Young-mi!”
“Unnie!” Young-mi smiled in excitement, ready to tell her about her new relationship with Nam-gyu.
