@❛ yein j。 she hums and nods as a sign of affirmation to the young woman in front of her. shuhua was caught by surprise when her arm was held, instead of the plushie that she's handing over. her eyes widened, a bit startled on what's happening. she didn't know what to reply, it was too sudden for her. but, looking at shuhua's schedule of activities in that day, she was pretty much free. she doesn't really have plans for today, aside from playing at the arcade and walking down the park for some exercise. "um, sure... i guess?" well, she insisted, so, let's accept it. plus, grabbing coffee won't hurt, she'd love it from all the work and overtime she had this past week. her rosy lips smiles unconsciously, letting the latter to lead the way.

@❛ yein j。 shuhua grabs the teddy bear from the machine, touching its soft fur. as she heard a voice, she turns around to see where the voice came from as she looks at the young woman, trying to focus on what she's saying from the loud noise inside the arcade. she's a bit astonished about what she had said, a bit unsure if she get what she's saying, but she didn't really have that much interest on the teddy bear. she could just come back next week and get another one...probably. she glances at the teddy bear in her hand before handing it to her. "i don't really mind giving it to you..." she smiles warmly, "i just wanted to spend my last coin, but you can have it. plus, i have a lot of teddy bears at home."

@❛ yein j。 playing in the arcade is one of shuhua's favorite activities to do when she has her day off at work. you can see her every weekends at the arcade, either shooting zombies, playing with someone at tekken, or driving aggressively at mario kart. her initials SHU has been all over the rankings in every game, and some people who are regulars at the arcade consider her as a rival, but to her, competition was not an option. she plays for fun, and she doesn't like having quarrels with people just because of a game score. just as she finished playing tekken, she stood up, looking around for more games to play. she reaches her hand to her pocket, her eyes widening as she only felt one coin. she pulls it out, realizing that she only had one coin left.

she then passes by the claw machines, and she can't help but notice that one particular girl who's been trying to grab a prize but has been failing. shuhua glances at the prizes at the machine—it was full of plushies of teddy bears. she can see how disappointed the girl was from her deep sigh.

'alright, let's give it a try.'

shuhua approaches the same machine, slid her last coin, as she focuses her chocolate eyes and moved the claw to her target. steadily, she positions the claw to a brown teddy bear and pushes the button to let the claw do its work. to her surprise, the claw successfully grabbed the teddy bear.
