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!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH6bgrHwt3U
"Oh?" Hoseok was surprised.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxRlLILtkt7
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr90eiBNH11
"Ah, I thought it was something too personal!" Hoseok chuckled. "Hmm, broken bones? Maybe about...two times."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLrbbJTWoFl
"Hm? Really?" I replied. "I didn't know that. How?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEVu85XObdT
Hoseok laughed. "I was really clumsy as a kid."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmBMBy8Seb1
"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?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdOlZj90EAN
"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."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzVco5Quu3v
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVwWTCzu8SL
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxY3f4390mK
"It says: what's your favorite dessert?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBgYcVjTy7M
"Who are you asking?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK4xbQ7PfbU
"Oh, um...Seokjin-shi!" I smiled at him.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbwrrpZOiz
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.

163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLe9uCVGNVT
"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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡegphl0GYv0
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!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGm5VnCOHcb
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2PLrkX7ifA
"Song Hyeji," Seokjin said.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0LJumzgKos
"Yes?" The girl answered. She seemed pleased to hear one of the handsome boys call on her.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm52J7eqHgn
"What is your most embarrassing story?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf0aW4LRkMG
Hyeji's face dropped to horror before quickly throwing a pass card down on the table. "Pass!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPpyjK0YgfY
But suddenly Minju slammed a block card. "Nope!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3Bnj5CKEnQ
"Minju-ya!" Hyeji cried. She threw another pass card to negate the block. "Hah!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjlL5BRnMOp
"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."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiX7Il4vDd
"You can't talk them into using their cards!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqx2qu8YT9U
"The rules don't say that you can't." Minju refuted.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNDlL9K7CE9
"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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbvGGgL0RBF
"Oppa~! How could you!" The girl was scared out of her skin. "I threw down my last pass already."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtyvo1ip0hE
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l7gCQd7Mp
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFXeJM8lHCy
"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."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPq6gx2NPiZ
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIlLIOArIV1
"Eonni." She said. Everyone else relaxed. "What happened in the bathroom that day? When the school called mom about it."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcglnva5DMN
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvS7MeCROi
I considered using a pass card for the first time. But if I did that, everyone may get suspicious about the story and misunderstand.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡy18xy5ZamT
"It's not as juicy a story as you think, Minju." I warned her.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXzGv4wiq0
"That's true." Hoseok nodded. I smiled thankfully at him, knowing he was supporting me.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6cZ0yB8DKX
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."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡouMlq1Z1HB
Everyone seemed to have different expressions. They were either disappointed or confused. Perhaps they were expecting something more...entertaining?
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzphqE0oU9E
"Soo, I guess it's Hyeji's turn now?" Hoseok chimed in innocently.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡePEPQaJBcK
"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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYnAzFXYjZy
"Fine. Kim Taehyung."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyGa7paEyMQ
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡusMOsEwqvA
"Kim...Taehyung? The one with unnatural good looks?" Hyejin asked.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCbEFf9WlIS
My head cocked to the side. "Yeah, but how do you two know who he is?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvRQTHTRyhf
"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!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE8kPRah01r
"He just wanted to get me into trouble that's all."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdFwyvN8N6c
"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?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoQB7xCLypR
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNBOTTE3ECZ
"W-what does that even matter? I told you what happened!" I defended. "I answered the question already so let's just move on."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡicrWdHk8mU
"But you can't just leave out details! That's not answering the question truthfully!"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqKPbMx40m
"Minju-ya!" I warned sternly so she'd check her tone.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ04wcB7nzzJ
"Um..." Seokjin cut in. "Why don't we all take a break for now?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqzZ37uGnbS
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp4c1nHjanx
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IItxI3xve
"Are you okay?" Seokjin inquired.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnRJOofsBtn
"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."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuGo0fh6Qhf
He nodded. "And that incident with Taehyung. Are you okay after the fact? It seemed to upset you."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrYXj3o17y
"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."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOGoGvm792
"Ah, I see." He nodded. "And do you both share the same taste in guys?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdIJLKgnmTh
"Hm? What do you mean?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOEzHRMDrV0
"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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQKV87lME4
"No way!" I denied instantly. "He may be good looking but he's in no way a suitable match. For anyone."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBwx5BCfMFz
"Am I suitable?"
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmjAfOdwHDi
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFy3i84DWb
"Um..."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvyNZK27JtE
"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."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMqT9NysRzS
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.
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrQ00Ag6dcI
"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."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdLGivMKDxE
Seokjin opened his mouth to say something but just gave an empathetic smile. "I'll help you."
163Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRR8aYtwrd
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.
