[ it's okay hak will probably be able to hear his laughter at this point, bright and amused. he's standing in front of the co-op shooting game because it's the most novel of them all...
like the fighting games are interesting sure but they're less interesting when like. hak can do all those cool moves in real life...
Based on what the gameplay says, it's a gun. Or a plasma shooter. I think it depends on the booth.
[ they're not in space for this particular arcade game, so it is a gun! this one is zombies. soo-won hits start without even giving hak a second. the tutorial stage will begin in three seconds ]
You point and pull the trigger—it's like a rapid arrow!
[ wowowow his education...first anime and now plasma shooters. what will he learn next?
the ability to think fast apparently as zombies start popping up on the screen and shambling towards them. hak lifts the gun, presses the trigger. the zombie explodes in retro blood and guts.
[ sorry his eyes are still sparkling, already delighted at how quickly hak was able to figure out the aim. it's the tutorial level, but having a game like this just around to play? it's incredible. ]
A way to practice hand-eye coordination even before you build the strength to draw a bow—and moving targets that don't require hunting birds.
[ he lifts his own gun and shoots another zombie! pew pew! ]
I think the numbers on the screen provide feedback on performance.
[ sorry he's a nerd about this but also this will probably turn into a stupid competition once he's done ]
[ he's mulling it over in his own head, idly nodding along to soo-won's words. ]
Would have been nice to have these to practice with.
[ stop turning fun things into work....although the play guns aren't anywhere near actual weapons. still, it's intriguing enough on its own that he keeps playing. pew pew go their guns as the zombies spawn and approach.
though he seems distracted, glancing over his shoulder every so often. ]
[ pew pew pew!! soo-won notices, because of course he does. it's why he'll shoot a zombie on hak's side of the screen while he glances over his shoulder, tilting his head ]
[ he will diligently resume shooting the zombies on his side, though it's not long before he's glancing around again.....and then sidling a little closer to soo-won. maybe that will solve things.... ]
weirdly this is better? if they're this close then maybe.......? he furtively glances around again. nope, not good enough.
but on the bright side, he doesn't have to worry about their total failure with the game paused. victory is still within reach (later). in the meantime, ]
[ is he feeling nostalgic? more like he's feeling paranoid, a creeping sense of dread that only seems to grow with each passing second. even their linked hands isn't enough, though it's certainly a step in the right direction.
a branch snaps. hak panics and does the first thing he can think of. he pulls soo-won close (via their still joined hands, wow quelle romantique) and kisses him on the mouth.
i've completed my duty, however i fucked up and forgot these curses last several hours. good luck soo-won ]
[ sorry to take soo-won's first kiss like that, we all know he was saving it for (rolls dice) siffrin
the smack to his shoulder barely registers, hak too busy searching for the source of the noise from earlier. which so happens to be......a cat! whew. not actually a person spying on them. but even if there had been a person, surely that display would have been enough, right? no one would doubt a kiss on the lips, right???
satisfied, he relaxes and tunes back in. the paranoia recedes (for now). ]
Oh. Sorry. [ he points at the zombie game. ] Wanna keep playing?
[ are they still holding hands? assigns them as still holding hands. ]
but with his free one, soo-won once again reverts to being 5 years old when he's around hak and that's why he's going to pinch hak's nose in indignation. honk honk you clown ]

okay pauses game because as excited as he was, this behavior is so bizarre. he reaches a hand up to press it against hak's forehead. ]
Are you sick? If you're still feeling odd after what you ate, go lay down.

Are you feeling nostalgic? I liked holding your hand then too.
