"Straight flush." 

 

Jiyong revealed his cards, a straight flush of King, Queen, Jack, Ten, Nine. It was almost a Royal flush, if his Nine was an Ace. The audience did create a soft commotion but had quietened down almost instantly. 

 

"Guess like I'm slightly in luck today." 

 

Seunghyun smirked as he revealed his cards, a Royal flush. He had the Ace card that Jiyong was lacking. The crowd was astounded by the both of them. 

 

Seunghyun had won by a slight margin. 

 

"Do I have the pleasure to invite Yoona-sshi to a dinner?" Seunghyun stood up, smirking as he extended his arm towards Yoona gentlemanly. 

 

Yoona glanced at Jiyong who was sitting beside her. Jiyong was clearly sending glares of warning, as though asking her to decline, but he wasn't speaking up. Everyone had their eyes on her, as they waited for her reply. 

 

She got frustrated and stood up, storming off from the fashion show without saying a single word. 

 

"See you around then, Jiyong-sshi." 

 

Seunghyun was quick to react as he bowed politely, running to chase after Yoona. Jiyong was blowing off the top but he tried to contain his anger, his expression unreadable. He was about to give chase after Yoona as well, but the creative director of Chanel had called after him.

 

"Mr. Kwon." 

 

"Yes, Mr. Lagerfeld." 

 

He shook hand with Karl Lagerfeld as the latter continued to discuss some fashion tips with him. He could only listen and answer half-heartedly as he spotted Seunghyun catching up with Yoona from a far distance. 

 

✦✦✦✦✦

 

"Yoona! Wait up! Yoona!" 

 

"Stop following me!" 

 

"Technically, you still owe me a dinner! Kwon Jiyong lost the bet!" 

 

That caused Yoona to turn around, glaring at him incredulously. 

 

Seunghyun let out a cheeky smile, finally catching up with her, "knew you'll stop if I said that." 

 

Yoona wasn't buying his cheekiness at all as she berated, "do I freaking look like a PAWN to the both of you?" 

 

"Of course not." 

 

"Oh, I must have looked like those soft toys that are hanged around in carnivals for people to win then." 

 

"Nahs, you're too pretty and too tall to be hanging up there. If you've to insist, then you'll probably be the grand prize that no one will ever get. Don't you know that those games are rigged?" Seunghyun answered her question in a very serious and proper expression.

 

Looking at his expression, Yoona couldn't help but broke into small chuckles as she sighed, walking away, "go away Seunghyun. I'm still angry, don't mess with me." 

 

"I know, I'm sorry. I've carried things way too far. Forgive me?" 

 

"Not that fast. My pride is hurt." 

 

"Then I know just the right place to cure your pride!" Seunghyun pulled her hand and started running.

 

"Y-Yah! Lee Seunghyun!" 

 

✦✦✦✦✦

 

"Seriously? An arcade?" Yoona folded her arms across her chest and gave a scowl.

 

A few moments ago, she was just saying that she’s being treated like a toy in a carnival and yet this guy still have the audacity to bring her to an arcade?! 

 

"Uh huh. Well, you're angry right? But I can't bring you to jujutsu because you'll hurt yourself. So, here we are," Seunghyun nodded and handed her the toy hammer. "Come on~ Treat this as me or Kwon Jiyong or the stupid casino game or whatsoever. Hit it!" 

 

Yoona finally gave in as she took the hammer and knocked it hard against the game station. 

 

"Woohoo! HIM YOONA!" Seunghyun cheered as the meter went rocket high and the game ticket stubs started to flow out. "Assa!" 

 

Yoona couldn't help but be affected by his child-like behaviour, "you brought me here just so that you can get the stubs right?" 

 

"Hehe. It's for you to vent your frustration, but well, there's a toy that I'd been eyeing for quite a while now," Seunghyun smiled cheekily. 

 

"With your asset, you could easily buy down the entire arcade, let alone that toy," Yoona chuckled. 

 

"Well, winning it is different!" Seunghyun answered and pulled her along to other game stations, "let's go!" 

 

Yoona could only comply. They went around trying and playing all the different stations, as though they were high school kids on a date. Yoona seemed to have forgotten that she was supposed to be angry as she began to let loose of herself too, enjoying the arcade. With good chemistry, the duo managed to accumulate a lot of ticket stubs within a short span of an hour and were finally able to redeem the toy that Seunghyun had been eyeing.

 

"Here you go," Seunghyun handed Yoona a Rilakkuma toy as he returned from the redemption counter. 

 

"Oh? I have a gift too?" Yoona took the toy and raised her brows, "and you know I like Rilakkuma?"

 

"Of course. Your reward for helping me get the toy. Your hammer hitting game scored the most tickets. Oh? I just make a guess. Girls like all soft toys, no?" 

 

"So I should be thankful for it?"

 

"It doesn't hurt to say a 'thank you'," Seunghyun smiled. "Shall we go for dinner now? I'm STARVING." 

 

"I thought you'd never gonna say that." 

 

Both of them shared a smile and Yoona once again, allowed Seunghyun to bring her to another place for dinner. 

 

"How... How do you know that I like this restaurant?" 

 

"Just a guess?" 

 

Yoona folded her arms across her chest, raising her brows at him as she smirked, "once might be a coincidence, twice might be a consipracy. I guess me liking Rilakkuma is not a mere guess also right?" 

 

"You got to stop being so smart," Seunghyun smiled sheepishly as he scratched his nape. "I did do a little check but it doesn't kill right? I was trying to be impressive." 

 

"Forgive you, since I've no loss anyway. My favourite soft toy and restaurant, I guess I should be angry with you more often then," Yoona laughed as she started digging in. 

 

Seunghyun let out an inward sigh of relief, knowing that she was not angry, "thank god your favourite restaurant is not some London Michelin star restaurant. If not a humble businessman like me wouldn't be able to meet that." 

 

They enjoyed dinner and was chatting casually, laughing and giggling along the way. Whatever that had happened back at the show was way out of Yoona's mind and frankly speaking, she was enjoying herself. It had been quite some time since she last went out with other guys besides Jiyong. Even with those guys that she had dated, they simply brought her to posh places, art exhibitions and musicals. It wasn't that she didn't fancy any of those, but sometimes, just sometimes, she would love to let loose herself for a little, enjoying time at a carnival, going crazy at an arcade. 

 

With Seunghyun, she could retreat to her childish self. 

 

"Just the final measure to ensure that you're really appeased," the waiter left after cleaning up their dessert plates and Seunghyun slid something across the table to Yoona. 

 

Yoona gaped in surprise, holding the ticket up, "an air ticket to Australia?" 

 

Seunghyun shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly, "a business-class ticket to be precise and the flight is tomorrow. I know you're having a holiday now, so thought you might want to give wakeboarding a try. Recalled that you once talked about wanting to try it. Australia is a good place for wakeboarding." 

 

Yoona let out a chuckle, "and you said that you're a HUMBLE businessman."
