"I'm so bored," Donghyuck muttered under his breath and sighed in disappointment as he sprawled on his bed, the deafening silence piercing through his ears.

It was awfully silent and it feels like one single noise made, you'll be tortured to death. It's painful to the ears. Donghyuck sighed and wiped his hands on his face, sighing yet again in frustration as he glanced at the room. Some were sleeping, some were staring at nowhere, some are just.. weird.

Like Jungwoo who is waving his hands in the air, not knowing when to stop. Sounds funny and weird but that's what the latter is really doing. The tanned male also glanced at the ones who are near the door. Taeyong's blindfolded by who knows who put that around his head, Johnny and Ten were talking softly at the thai's bed – which Donghyuck found weird since he knew how Johnny was mute. And Yuta is silently listening through the earphones that Sicheng gave to him.

The rest, dead asleep.

He made his eyes to where his part is, seeing Shotaro on Yangyang's bed, probably trying to help the chinese-german with reading. Chenle was weirdly looking at his arms as Jisung lay on his bed, not sleeping but is in deep thought. Yukhei's suddenly on his menopausal stage and Donghyuck's honestly scared about his demeanor.

Donghyuck heaved a deep breath and sat up, slipping down from his bed as he made his way to where Yangyang and Shotaro are.

"Hey,"

Both Yangyang and Shotaro looked up, meeting eyes with the person who spoke. "Oh, hey Hyuck."

"I'm bored, you guys wanna play?"

"Play what?" The japanese asked, taking the book out of Yangyang's grasp and putting it away.

"Oh, you know.." Donghyuck tapped on his chin, thinking of what to play when an idea popped into his mind. "Spin the bottle!"

Yangyang and Shotaro looked at each other before the chinese-german made space on the bed for the tanned male to sit on when he told them to go down the floor.

"You do know the game of spin the bottle right?" Jaemin joined, earning the attention of the three of them.

"Oh, hi Jaemin!" Donghyuck greeted with a smile, "Come play with us!"

"Sure, but no kissing please."

The other three frowned upon hearing that, "It's just truth or dare, right?"

Jaemin blinked, obviously not expecting Yangyang to say that. Do they not know the game of spin the bottle? "Yang, no. You know what? Let's just play the game."

Shotaro took his empty water bottle and placed it in the middle, motioning for the white haired male to do the spinning. Jaemin sighed and complied nonetheless, the bottle stopping at himself.

Talk about unluckiness.

Donghyuck rubbed his hands together, "Truth or dare?"

Jaemin sighed, here goes nothing. "Truth."

"Playing safe, huh?" The tanned male commented, "Anyways, do you really forgive Jeno after what he did days ago?"

Jeno's head snapped to where the four are as soon as he heard his name mentioned. He sat up slowly to catch what they are talking about but making sure to keep it lowkey.

"Of course." The white haired male responded with no hesitation, about to spin the bottle again when Donghyuck stopped him from doing so. "Why?"

Jaemin smirked, "Oops. This isn't two truths and a lie."

You would mistake them as crackhead friends instead of people with mental illnesses from afar as they are playing this game. It barely even started yet.

The tanned male sulked, "Fine."

Jaemin took the lead and span the bottle once again, this time it pointed to Yangyang. "Oh, okay. Truth or dare?"

He's not going to sacrifice himself for something. "Truth."

"You guys are no fun." Donghyuck fake yawned as he leaned himself at Yangyang's bed.

"Shut up, Hyuck." Yangyang rolled his eyes and mentioned Jaemin to spill the question. The white haired male thought for a while, "Hm, would you rather lose the ability to speak or lose the ability to read and write?"

"Read and write." The chinese-german looked down sadly, "I already lost it."

Jaemin pursed his lips in a thin line, "Oh. I'm sorry."

"No, no. It's fine." Yangyang smiled through the pain, "My turn, right?"

The game continued for the four of them, actually earning the attention of the other patients as they shared truths and a few dares. Shotaro was giggling all the time while Yangyang tried his best not to choose dare. Jaemin chose a dare and it was to kiss Renjun's cheeks in front of Jeno. The white haired male refused but did it anyway after receiving a threat from Donghyuck.

Jaemin apologized immediately after doing it, both to Renjun (that was sleeping) and to Jeno that's silently watching them.

Yangyang and Jaemin also doubted that Donghyuck was telling the truth every time he gets his turn. Shotaro, on the other hand, didn't really bother noticing it as he was busy giggling and laughing at the three of them – not noticing he didn't get to choose yet.

"Okay, cut." Donghyuck clapped his hands together, "My turn."

The tanned male went to spin the bottle, which finally landed on Shotaro after a while. The three celebrated, uttering a lot of 'finally's and 'yes it's his turn's.

"Okay okay, shh." Donghyuck hushed and turned to look at the now uneasy japanese, which the tanned male failed to see. "Taro-kun, truth or truth?"

Not wasting a second, "Dare!"

Shotaro blinked upon realizing, "Oh wait, what? I meant truth!"

Donghyuck smirked, "You already chose dare~"

"That- That's so witty," Yangyang said between laughs as Jaemin laughed with him.

The japanese unconsciously pouted but nonetheless gave in. "Okay, fine. What's the dare?"

Donghyuck thought for a while before an idea popped in his head, snapping his fingers as he did so. "Try talking with the new kid behind those dividers."

The japanese blinked as Jaemin and Yangyang stopped laughing. How on earth is Shotaro going to do that?
