hm, there’s a pants-less passed out korean guy in front of my favorite basketball arcade game. it’s a full-color screen running the whole length of the backwall rather than the generic analog number display + has four levels of challenges, two of which i’ve beaten in prior nights. what to do… sooyeon is in disbelief and is traumatized (understandably so) although i would’ve imagined this to be a common occurrence in sinchon near midnight. i, however, just wanted to shoot my mini-hoops and beat the hard difficulty this time around.

update: someone brought in authorities to help the man up and retrieve his pants. sooyeon was not a baller, and it seemed nor was i as victory slyly eluded my grasp once again.
