Because Dangsoso misunderstood my signal, an awkward atmosphere took over between us for a moment, but that atmosphere itself did not last long.

I couldn’t just stand still in a situation where there were already so many people around me, so I took the initiative to correct the misunderstanding.

And after correcting the misunderstanding, I held Dangsoso’s hand and led him toward the arcade.

If we continued like this, we would be run over by people and our family would be separated, so there was nothing we could do.

Luckily, the arcade I entered to avoid the crowds wasn’t that crowded.

Since it’s a retro concept store, it feels like it’s missing out on people’s attention.

I don’t know if that’s why, but the only people in the arcade were a few couples who seemed to be avoiding the crowds like us and people who seemed to be regulars of the store.

Thanks to this, I was able to freely observe the inside of the store without having to worry about what other people thought.

‘surely···.’

Is it because the year is 2099?

It’s a little different from the arcades I know.

The beeping and beeping electronic sounds are the same here and there, but the appearance of the machines making those sounds is different from reality.

When I think of an arcade, the first thing that comes to mind is a scene filled with arcade game machines and round, backless chairs, but here I see things that look like phone booths more often than those.

Oh, of course, there was a section with a retro concept where old game consoles I knew were collected separately.

There were also games like throwing a basketball into a goal post to score points, a punch machine, a claw machine, and air hockey.

“First, shall we lighten up with this guy?”

Among them, the first one that caught my attention was the basketball game.

I chose this guy because I thought there wouldn’t be another guy like him to warm up with because all he has to do is stand in the right place and throw the basketball.

“Then…are you doing it again?”

“Huh? Again? What?”

“Well, I mean a bet.”

Let’s make a bet with this.

It seemed like they were going to compete to see who could put in more… After listening to Dang Soso’s words, which contained such nuances, he stared at her without saying a word.

“Why, why are you looking at me like that…?”

“No, I was wondering since when did you become so shameless.”

I also learned cancer techniques, but it was literally just the basics.

Should I say that it is neither more nor less than a level that can be used as an improvisation in an unexpected situation?

In comparison, what about Dangsoso?

He was a memorization technician of such a high level that he was able to pierce a stone wall with his business card using only his technique without using any internal energy.

But let’s make a bet by throwing something.

“Isn’t there a bit of conscience…”

“Hmmmm…”

“No, what on earth do you wish for with the wishing power, and why are you so obsessed with the wishing power?”

“···The more wish rights you have, the better.”

“You’re not asking for a strange wish, are you?”

“A strange wish?”

“Are you asking because you really don’t know? Or are you just pretending not to know?”

“···!”

These words were deliberately uttered with a sinister expression.

At my remark, Tang Soso’s eyes widened slightly and her shoulders shook greatly.

“Uh, it turned red.”

“Well, something like that…”

“No, right? I know too ㅡ”

“Ma, it might be right…”

“What?!”

A counterattack that came at an unexpected time.

This time, when I opened my eyes, did he feel that this situation, which had succeeded in giving me a blow, was not that bad?

Tang Soso covered his mouth with his hand and laughed out loud.

“Your face turned red this time?”

“Keuhm, no, what is this…”

“Honestly… Isn’t it rather Gaga who wants me to wish for something like that?”

As I was accommodating to Dangsoso’s behavior, he seemed to be excited, so he walked towards me and whispered in my ear in a secret voice.

He said, ‘Huh…? I looked at her with the feeling of ‘Look at this…?’ and Dangsoso smiled and took a slight step back.

“So are you going to do it? Bet?”

“Okay, why not give it a try? The person with the lowest score will be granted one wish.”

“Good.”

” Instead…”

“Instead?”

“Let’s make what was given at the snack bar earlier null and void.”

It is a constant that Dangsoso will win anyway, but the two wish rights really crossed the line.

“Are you giving it to me in a mean manner and then taking it away?”

“Yes.”

“ugh···.”

Was it because I was so confident that I had nothing to say for a moment?

Dang Soso, who was deep in thought and made a sound that sounded like a slight pain, eventually nodded and expressed his intention to accept.

“Instead, if you are told in a bet, do you accept the result without saying anything?”

“Huh, anyone would think I already won the bet.”

“Honestly… I don’t think I’ll lose.”

“Okay, let’s give it a try.”

And so the real game began between me and Dangsoso, who gave us the right to wish.

Unlike before, where I chose to throw in the towel first because I felt like I would be stuck in the bathroom all day holding my stomach even though it was our first date, this time there was no reason for either of us to back out.

Is that why?

Dang So-so’s face was extremely serious as he held the basketball in his hand that popped out as soon as he put the portable display on his wrist to the game console.

“Someone would think that you are taking some very important exam.”

“···Can you please be quiet? It’s interfering with my ability to concentrate.”

“Yes yes yes.”

ㅡIt must have been the moment when I answered.

Dang Soso’s hand, which was holding a mini-sized basketball a little larger than his palm, seemed to blur for a moment, and the basketball flew toward the goal in a straight line instead of a parabola.

However, it hit exactly the center of the backboard and went straight into the goal.

“No, what is this…”

“First of all, it’s 1 point.”

Dang So-so, who said this as if showing off, was already holding a refilled basketball in his hand.

And it entered the goal in an instant.

“This… this isn’t basketball!!!!”

No, who on earth throws a basketball in a straight line?

“Anyway, it went into the goal, so wouldn’t that be it?”

“keu···.”

“Whether you put it in like this or that way, the score is the same, right?”

I can’t refute it…

Honestly I?

I thought the local government would take appropriate action.

From my point of view, it was reasonable to think like that because if Dangsoso showed his sincerity, the bet itself would not work out.

Once you set the zero point, wouldn’t it be natural that Dangsoso would be the one who would be able to throw a basketball into the goal with his eyes closed?

So, I thought they would accept it to some extent… but they came out sincerely to this extent.

What kind of wish are you really planning on making?

‘···I can’t do it.’

It can’t go on like this… it can’t go on like this.

The same thought moved my body.

I moved my body… so that I could hug Dang Soso’s body from behind.

“What?!”

Was he surprised by my surprise back hug that was done at the moment when I was concentrating on putting the ball in my hand into the goal?

Tang Soso’s hand, which was about to throw the ball, shook slightly.

Thanks to this, I was able to see her fail to score for the first time since I started betting.

“Rain, you’re a coward…!”

“Cowardly? why? There was no clause in the rules about not interfering with the other person, right?”

So, when it’s my turn, try to sabotage to the best of your ability.

Was he momentarily at a loss for words at my remark, which was practically speaking like that?

Dang So-so, who had a dumbfounded expression for a moment, began to concentrate with his lips pursed, perhaps in an attempt to regain his distracted concentration.

Of course… I wasn’t the one to leave her like that.

“I like it.”

“Hyaaaugh…?!”

Toong- Teodong-

“Ba, baba baba, just…!”

“I just told you the truth. Is there any problem?”

know.

Honestly, it’s a bit… ugly.

But sometimes you have to get ugly to win.

When I saw it, this was the moment.

“Ugh, really…!”

Fortunately, my strategy worked.

Despite the tremendous momentum shown in the beginning, Dangsoso failed to score one after another and was only successful a total of 14 times out of 20.

Well, it’s even more horrifying to me that even though I tried so hard to interfere, only six failed.

“Now, if this is the case, is this my car now?”

“···I’ll warn you in advance. You’d better be prepared.”

“Ho-oh, would you like to try a sabotage operation? As much as you want.”

But I don’t know if it will work out the way I want.

Because I’m not embarrassed by someone hugging me from behind like anyone else.

That’s what I thought.

Seueueuu

‘What…?!’

No, no matter how hot you are, you still do this…?

What kind of wish are you planning to make with this wish ticket? You monster!!
