Brian, who did not speak throughout the whole process, finally laughed when he saw North’s look of confusion. Slightly angry, the boy questioned, “What are you laughing at?”
Brian walked to the wall without saying anything and adjusted the dartboard, leveling it to a similar height to North. Then, he said to him, “Try again.”
Stepping back, North attempted another toss again. Only this time, it did hit the dartboard, but it deviated from the center point by quite a margin. Not liking the result, he picked it up and threw it again.
In the end, Brian walked over and taught him. “Pinch it lightly with four of your fingers, like this. Maintain your balance and use your wrist to throw it. You’ll have to practice a lot and find the momentum from your failures.” He held North’s hand and flung the dart, which landed squarely on the bullseye.
Feeling a morale boost, North retrieved the dart and continued throwing it just as Brian taught. Although it did not hit the bullseye, it at least landed on the dartboard now.
Brian stated, “Rest for a while and throw it again later. It’s a bit far, plus your strength is somewhat inadequate.”
Unwilling to admit defeat, North wore a pout and an unwavering expression. Speechless, Brian thought that this child was way too competitive. No wonder why he could learn anything at such a fast pace.
After a while, he got bored watching the battle between the dartboard and North, so he sat on the couch when he suddenly received a notification. It was a follow request on Instagram along with a message. ‘The Cupid made me do it.’
Smiling, he rejected it and placed the phone back on the table. With his hands behind his head, he watched and thought about how fast North was improving as he was hitting his dart consistently on the sixth or seventh ring on the board.
