"Rock, paper, scissors," you chanted before curling your hand into a fist while jeonghan showed his palm.
"AGAIN?" you groaned, this had been the fifth round of rock, paper, scissors and you've lost all five rounds. You crossed your arms over your chest, "I'm not gonna play anymore," you laid on your partner's comfortable mattress and turned away from jeonghan who's giggling at how cute you were acting for losing too many times.
Jeonghan slightly bounced closer to you and tapped on your shoulder, "Do you want to play chess instead?"
You glanced at him and pondered for a moment, "Fine," you begrudgingly sat up and faced him.
Jeonghan's face lit up before opening his bedside table's drawer and taking out a chess board with it's pieces in a silk cotton bag.
As he arranged the pieces, he said: "If you win, I'll kiss you,"
He noticed you were drumming your thighs excitedly, and smiled knowing you cheered up a bit.
"What if I lose?" you asked.
"Mmm, then you're buying me lunch," jeonghan grinned.
"Fine, fine fine I'll get you lunch,"
Jeonghan finished setting up the board, he took the black side of the chess piece while you take the white side. You thought for a moment before moving one of the pawns forward. Jeonghan did the same move, stopping your pawn from moving forward.
You picked up your knight and placed it down, jeonghan, to your horror moved almost immediately after you. You think you're forgetting that jeonghan might or might not be skilled in chess. Ignoring the doubts of winning, you continued to pursue the strategy you had in mind.
Silence fell in the room, only the tapping of chess pieces moving echoed. After awhile, the silence was broken when you grumbled after noticing your plan is about to fall through. Your king is about to be cornered by jeonghan's queen and bishop.
The closest you could get to his king was the knight you set near the king, unfortunately it was just one box away from the king's spot; if you move the knight then your king would get cornered and you won't have the chance to actually kill his king. You stared at the chess pieces, biting your lip slightly as you thought of something that could be used to get away from losing. Jeonghan looked up at you and stifled a laughter at how concentrated you were. He thought about it for a moment and decided he'd help you. Seeing you getting frustrated made his heart clenched. Jeonghan reached out a hand and placed it on your cheek, his thumb stroking your skin made you looked up at him confused. Soon enough, you were distracted by his actions, so distracted to the point you didn't notice how he moved your knight a box forward.
"Jeonghan?" you asked after realising that your cheeks heated up under his touch. He cracked a soft smile and retracted his hand.
You were confused but pulled yourself back to focus on the board, you glanced at the knight you placed near the king and counted the boxes. Your eyes widened, you instantly picked up your knight and pushed jeonghan's king off the board before setting your knight down to claim your victory.
"Oh my god I won," you bounced excitedly as your arms did a small punch in the air. Jeonghan laughed, clapping as you basked in your victory.
"You won!" he cheered, grabbing your wrist and shaking it in the air. Silently he was hoping the neighbors won't complain the weird gibberish shouting that might reach them.
The cheering stopped as you both got tired of screaming gibberish words; jeonghan picked up the chess pieces and chucked it in the cotton bag before folding the board and set it aside. That gave you a moment to think, how could you not have seen your knight was on the verge of victory, you swore seeing it lacking one box from jeonghan's king. Then it clicked, your boyfriend was known to be a cheater. You felt warm and fuzzy over how sweet it was but your hand is holding back from smacking him.
After you noticed he's done, you asked him "You know, I swore my knight was one box away from winning,"
"Ohh, really? Then you must've missed it the first time,"
You shook your head, "No... , I'm pretty sure i saw it multiple times being one box away,"
"Hmmmm, then the universe wanted you to win," he grabbed both of your hands and rubbed his thumb against your knuckles.
"Really, or did you-"
Jeongan covered your mouth with one of his hands and smiled brightly, "Okay, looks like we should take nap," he faked yawned, "Woah tired, come on angel. Go to bed,"
He dragged you to lay down with him, he wrapped his arms around you and nuzzled against your hair.
You lightly smacked him on his chest with your hand. You shifted in his arms a bit and looked to see his eyes closed.
"Jeonghan,"
He hummed, "Mhm?"
"You said I'd get something if i win,"
Jeonghan fluttered his eyes open and grinned with a hint of mischief, "What do you mean?"
"Whatever, forget it," you looked back down and bury yourself in his hoodie.
"Awww sorry, look at me please?" he whined; you sighed and looked up to be greeted by a couple quick soft kisses on your lips. You smiled, satisfied with the prize you won, sort off. You leaned against his chest, feeling it rise up and down. From there, you drowsed in his scent and the sound of the chilly air-conditioning.
A victory indeed.
