Baek Dohwa

Dohwa wasn't one to pay attention to those who didn't interest him, so he never stayed in school longer than vital until he met Soo-Ae, the girl he liked.

But now, Soo-Ae had indirectly rejected him. He'd overheard the girl and their other friend, Eunhyuk, confess to one another. Dohwa wasn't dumb enough to linger there.

So he lingered in the Arcade as usual where he used to loiter with Soo-Ae and Eunhyuk, now alone. He needed it. Needed to get away from those two. It might have seem childish, but Dohwa knew it would even be worse if he stayed with them in such an unstable state.

He planned on distracting himself with the games in the arcade, but every single thing in it only reminded him of Soo-Ae, and the way she got such high scores in the games. And that made his state worse. Now, he sat in the corner, back against the wall, a canned soda in hand, eyes closed and head tilted up. And when he opened his eyes, he didn't expect to be distracted for real this time.

Because he was sure their class secretary sneaked in the Arcade, and outright started topping everyone in the card games.

A perfect distraction, one that he didn't expect because he was certain this secretary of theirs was focused purely on academics to be in such a place. Dohwa was never close with anyone in their class, but he'd make an exception for this one and approached her with a nonchalant attitude, sneakily standing beside her seat as she beat men much older than her.

"...Didn't know you were such a gambler, sec."
