The night was getting even livelier as the festival almost came to an end. Traditional music and laughter blended in the air.
They were walking past a gaming booth where you had to shoot some targets to win some prize. Lee Changhyuk halted as soon as he saw the ad board.
[WIN THE MOST EXPENSIVE PRIZE IN THE FESTIVAL]
1st place: Grand Prize
2nd place: 1 Night Trip for 2 voucher
3rd place: A Romantic Dinner for 2 voucher
Participation prize: Stuff Toy
The participation fee was considerably pricey compared to other gaming booths in the festival but his eyes were glimmering with excitement as he saw the word 'the most expensive'.
Didn't she say he could pay for more expensive stuff? If he won this grand prize he could impress the milk girl by literally giving the most expensive thing in the festival! He always wanted to give her the best of everything, unfortunately the milk girl never asked him for anything. If he won the prize, wouldn't he earn 10 points plus?
The grand prize was kept in a beautiful red box between the two framed vouchers. You couldn't tell what's inside but it was okay! Girls loved surprise!
"Do you want that expensive prize?" There was something about his voice when he said the word 'expensive'.
Shizu raised a brow, she did not really care about the prize. In fact she didn't like it when he had to spend money on something that was not specified. What if it turned out to be something useless?
However, she could not bring herself to say 'no' to that beaming face. Not when this puppy finally said that he wanted to do something. She could only nod lightly and reply with a smile "Sure."
He sprinted to the gaming booth and was welcomed with great enthusiasm by the elder booth man. He told the Star that the grand prize had been on display for 3 years yet no one was able to bring it home, causing Lee Changhyuk's eyes to shine even more.
The old man explained that all he had to do was shooting all 10 moving 'ghosts' and the super speedy 'stars'. If he could shoot everything, including the 3 stars he could take the first prize. 2 stars for the second prize and 1 star for the third prize.
They were all wooden-made moved by a belt. The bullet itself was blue paint balls, so if it hit, you'd be able to tell.
Lee Changhyuk was given 5 minutes to learn using the rifle. Even though it was just a toy, the size, the weight and the shape was like the actual thing. The old man even handed him the wrap-around ear protection to make it look more real!
Shizu jogged further to watch him from the spectator area and she couldn't help but swallow at the sight before her. He effortlessly took the big rifle then raised it closely to the torso. He lightly tilted his head and closed one eye to peek behind the scopes. How could he transform from a hot daddy to a sexy wild hunter who just popped out from a warfare in a blink of an eye!?
After feeling comfortable with the firearm, he gave the old man a quick nod and focus on the targets.
"Okay, everyone! Let's cheer for our newest challenger!" He started to speak in a loud voice and invited the onlookers to gather.
It didn't take long before the spectators surrounded the booth. Most of the visitors were the locals, it was always amusing to watch someone trying to bring home the Grand Prize. Furthermore, the challenger this time was unrealistically gorgeous, it was not everyday they could grace their eyes with such majestic treat.
The belt started moving, and Lee Changhyuk positioned his rifle to aim at the targets that were at least 5 meters away from him.
BANG BANG BANG
All of the ghost turned blue causing the spectators shouting and applauding really hard. Shizu herself was cheering loudly that she didn't notice that she was actually having so much fun without even playing.
Unlike the spectators, Lee Changhyuk did not move an inch. He continued to aim behind the scopes with one eye closed. The first targets were shot so now the stars would come out. He only had 3 bullets left to shoot them.
The 3 yellow stars appeared like comets, the spectators started to pity the poor challenger.
30 seconds had passed, and Lee Changhyuk still didn't pull the trigger causing everyone to get really nervous. Even Shizu stopped breathing cause she could feel the tension in the air.
BANG BANG BANG
Lee Changhyuk lowered the rifle then turned his head towards the milk girl.
The spectators moved their gaze to the targets that just now stopped moving to find all of them stained with blue color. And the loud cheer was immediately heard from the crowd. It was a lively celebration.
