The handsome boy smiled shyly before drawing the first card. His eyes showed shock as he read what was on the card. "Hmm, who should I ask? Hoseok-shi!"

"Oh?" Hoseok was surprised.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVBZLC0mIHf
Jimin gave him a look of mischief. Everyone leaned in with interest. "How many bones have you broken?" Immediately, everyone groaned while Jimin laughed at our reactions. The blonde boy had us all sitting at the edge of our seats.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtHO22krXe0
"Ah, I thought it was something too personal!" Hoseok chuckled. "Hmm, broken bones? Maybe about...two times."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcjZQDQCHkg
"Hm? Really?" I replied. "I didn't know that. How?"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm8nMPA53Ex
Hoseok laughed. "I was really clumsy as a kid."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSfhDaMRdI4
"Okay, I'm next!" Minju picked up a card. "Ooh! This is a good one. Jimin oppa, when was the last time you kissed someone?"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7d7y57pZ5h
"Ah, so I get the first hard question." Jimin chuckled nervously. He thought for a few seconds. I wasn't sure if it was to create an air of anticipation or if he really needed time to remember. I thought his cheeks turned slightly pink but I wasn't sure. "Two months ago? It was sort of unexpected, to be honest."

The girls giggled among themselves while Jimin's sweet smile pushed his eyes shut. Seokjin seemed to be surprised but Jimin only shrugged as though he didn't know what to tell him. I guess guys are shy about that stuff too.

The next person was Hyeji who picked up either a pass or block card. No one knew which one. She kept her cards well hidden. My turn. I looked at the next card and breathed a sigh of relief.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ37NjtVxu6O
"It says: what's your favorite dessert?"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpEYcCwPdE0
"Who are you asking?"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelxxDOP5Je
"Oh, um...Seokjin-shi!" I smiled at him.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ82u1aOz5p0
It only took him a moment to answer, "brownies and ice cream. With whipped cream and marshmallows on top." He gave me a knowing smile. A smile forced its way on my face as he referenced our date.

"Oh nice!" Hoseok said before picking the next card. He read it then bellowed a sharp laugh before his face suddenly played a serious look. "Minju-ya. Do you love me?" He extended a finger heart to her with an aegyo face. "Ohhh~?" Everyone laughed.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCi5hlhyjql
Minju made a face of disgust. "What kind of question is that?!" Hoseok showed her the question on the card. "Ugh, in your dreams! That's my answer. Next!"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0CKzkDPJS
The game went on. All throughout it, I couldn't help but feel uneasy. I dreaded the really personal questions. Not only getting them but giving them as well. It could make someone uncomfortable. Do friends really play this kind of game together? As a result, I still hadn't used any of my special cards yet. Two blocks, three passes.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnoij3KHs56
"Song Hyeji," Seokjin said.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwosJXCzt8w
"Yes?" The girl answered. She seemed pleased to hear one of the handsome boys call on her.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2WIVo64hzV
"What is your most embarrassing story?"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQIrTxjzJer
Hyeji's face dropped to horror before quickly throwing a pass card down on the table. "Pass!"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX9NiPgCcAu
But suddenly Minju slammed a block card. "Nope!"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bke2pSjNV
"Minju-ya!" Hyeji cried. She threw another pass card to negate the block. "Hah!"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiWc4drrzB8
"Ahh..." Minju sighed from disappointment. "I guess you win this one. Unless..." my sister looked around the room. "Anyone else has a block card they can spare."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkb5GBKIVL7
"You can't talk them into using their cards!"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiEJWFSxbE
"The rules don't say that you can't." Minju refuted.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiGSQy7mzfj
"I'm sorry." A voice made them both quiet. Jimin smiled apologetically at Hyeji. "But it sounds like it could be an interesting story." He said while laying a block card down.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsOSGDU39PK
"Oppa~! How could you!" The girl was scared out of her skin. "I threw down my last pass already."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvBq04Knais
After gathering her courage, Hyeji began telling her story. A story that consisted of her and her friends climbing a fence in order to sneak out of school. But as she hopped off of the fence, her uniform got caught. She dangled on the fence by her shirt, her mid section totally bare.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdqbqzOLUDe
What made it worse is that a teacher caught them while she was stuck. All her friends ran for it accept for Minju who, only after a laughing spell, helped her down.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURxqgH6vLf
"That was a fun day. My turn again!" Minju announced. She picked up a card and smiled. "Ooh! It's a blank card, which means I can ask any question I want."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5oznpC6ZHP
Everyone shifted in their seats. They were starting to catch on to how shameless my sister can be. It was nice not being the only one who saw that. Though I still don't know what to do with her. I shook my head.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaXrHdn1KFl
"Eonni." She said. Everyone else relaxed. "What happened in the bathroom that day? When the school called mom about it."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuNBTkbzjey
I shot a cloud of daggers her way with my eyes. The girl made her eyebrows dance to infuriate me. She really had no shame. I sighed and thought about the story and what happened. My face heated with embarrassment. Although, I did nothing wrong that day, it was still humiliating. And it didn't give me much confidence to tell the story when Seokjin was looking so curious about it.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0E8OpHCmsC
I considered using a pass card for the first time. But if I did that, everyone may get suspicious about the story and misunderstand.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmr4qTGx4QR
"It's not as juicy a story as you think, Minju." I warned her.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Eud8lstZq
"That's true." Hoseok nodded. I smiled thankfully at him, knowing he was supporting me.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdcBEw225T
I sighed. "I got a stain on my uniform at lunch and went to the bathroom to wash it out. As I was doing that, a boy sneaked in to play a prank on me. But one of the teachers came before he could finish his joke. She saw us and misunderstood the situation and that's why mom was called." I shrugged. "And that's it. Simple as that."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqeiEeLDeG0
Everyone seemed to have different expressions. They were either disappointed or confused. Perhaps they were expecting something more...entertaining?
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnrqKFXT5Ig
"Soo, I guess it's Hyeji's turn now?" Hoseok chimed in innocently.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPjflsW1GXc
"Uh, hold on." Minju held up a finger then squinted at me. "Simple, maybe but definitely absent of major details. You're supposed to answer truthfully. Who was this boy? What was the prank?" She and everyone waited. I gulped but I was determined not to look like this experience bothered me. I straightened my posture.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJllRHHqRjE
"Fine. Kim Taehyung."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3XX5eUOhg1
The silence in the room intensified. Startled by the change in atmosphere, I looked at everyone's strange expressions. The only one who was neutral about it was Hoseok. The middle school girls' were beyond shocked. A crazy look on each of their faces. The whites of their eyes were fighting for exposure. Seokjin's brows were furrowed. His mind working out something unknown. Even Jimin seemed to be resisting to show any kind of reaction but I was certain he too was surprised.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6lVjscgTRQ
"Kim...Taehyung? The one with unnatural good looks?" Hyejin asked.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnnGCPkAtys
My head cocked to the side. "Yeah, but how do you two know who he is?"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCXxMF0KmF
"We follow all his social media accounts. He uploads at least six selca's a day!" Minju answered, outraged. Her eyes turned to suspicion again. "What did he want with you? What did he say? He's not the immature type to pull simple pranks. He must've had a reason! Tell us!"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPrD59a9GT
"He just wanted to get me into trouble that's all."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDXDgyNVV7c
"I don't believe it. He doesn't waste his time on average people. You must've did something bad. What did he do exactly? What were his exact words?"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUgOPn1ytK
My heart began pounding as I recalled the awkward closeness between us that day. And his uncanny, flirtatious advances. There's no way I was going to go into detail about all that. Especially in front of Seokjin! Besides, if Minju found out about this, she may use it against me in the future. I could always count on her to tell dad while blowing the story out of proportion. I could feel my sweat glands opening as everyone stared at me for answers.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDOYBHyDSsP
"W-what does that even matter? I told you what happened!" I defended. "I answered the question already so let's just move on."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7whRGkOMw0
"But you can't just leave out details! That's not answering the question truthfully!"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUGH8q4vN4o
"Minju-ya!" I warned sternly so she'd check her tone.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6P37WVUTY4
"Um..." Seokjin cut in. "Why don't we all take a break for now?"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkPWxRUQnsJ
My and Minju's eyes lingered spitefully on one another. Hyeji, who was sitting between us shrunk into the sofa to avoid the crossfire. But the stubborn girl couldn't hold her gaze forever. She crossed her arms and plopped her back against the couch. She mumbled something under her breath which I couldn't hear.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtwVCVoWlTG
No one disagreed, which was understandable. Everyone accepted the temporary break with eagerness. Jimin turned to his phone for company. Seokjin took me to get something to drink from the vending machines. Seokjin got himself banana milk. I was in a chocolate milk mood.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyNa8ylhZSi
"Are you okay?" Seokjin inquired.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU1ggnH4r2f
"Yeah. This is how we are most of the time." I smile apologetically. "Sorry if we made the air awkward. But, really we'll be fine."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnMXij9Dj59
He nodded. "And that incident with Taehyung. Are you okay after the fact? It seemed to upset you."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWCZsgluA3
"Oh, don't worry." I chuckled nervously. "Upsetting me is my sister's job. That situation with Taehyung back then was just ridiculous and not really worth so much attention. Plus, I know her too well. She would've misunderstood no matter what I told her. The last thing I need is for her to tell my dad whose protective instincts are just as obsessive as Minju's obsession for good looking boys."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwq56wM4Wuh
"Ah, I see." He nodded. "And do you both share the same taste in guys?"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNGIaTvT4mm
"Hm? What do you mean?"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa9m09m5nHS
"They said Taehyung was unnaturally good looking. You agreed. Does that mean he's your type?" Seokjin asked. There was genuine curiosity in his eyes but his devilish smile added a sprinkle of playfulness.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4xAUPMzq3
"No way!" I denied instantly. "He may be good looking but he's in no way a suitable match. For anyone."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGEameSfy0x
"Am I suitable?"
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxyK36AFFw5
Seconds had passed before I even realized I had only stared blankly at him. My mouth couldn't move, neither could my eyes blink during those long seconds of realizing what he was asking. I wanted the answer to be, yes. But that didn't mean it was.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdzwbk8lCcO
"Um..."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtIiOYWdbE
"Hyeji!" Minju's voice snapped my brain out of its paralyzed state. "Minah's calling! I'm gonna tell her we're hanging out with high school boys. That way she can tell everyone at school so I don't have to."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZIhjgddMM
Minju headed outside while talking on her phone with a smug look. Instead of the door I entered through from the inside, there was another exit that led outside the building into the night. The pair of french doors were supposed to remain locked during this time until the morning. But she opened them anyway to step out.
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiftWihxXyn
"Minju, stay close! Those doors aren't supposed to be open!" I told her. But she only acknowledged my words with a wave of her hand. She didn't even turn around and look me in the eye. She was seriously being such a pain right now! A frustrated but soft grunt rumbled in my throat. "That reminds me. I should get everyone else drinks. And snacks too. It's the least I could do for ruining the mood earlier."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZCZS5ya0Es
Seokjin opened his mouth to say something but just gave an empathetic smile. "I'll help you."
755Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0r575cYeNG
Seokjin held the drinks and I cradled the snacks. When we approach the table, Hyeji immediately lit up. Jimin was too engrossed in his phone to even notice. His fingers looked to be typing quite fiercely. I wonder who he was texting and why he seemed upset with them. We distributed the pile of goodies on the coffee table when we heard a high pitched scream from outside. Everyone's heads whipped toward the windows.
