Chapter 3

Seungmin picked a paper from a stack, a box full of papers with dares written on them, with a massive scowl on his lips. It was their only option for exiting their 'arresting' situation. Internally, the red-haired man groaned, knowing that with a soft-hearted boy as his partner, this scenario would undoubtedly be a nightmare. He quietly whispered the words visible on the tiny piece of paper, hoping no one (especially the pink-haired male) would hear.

"Horror House"

Unfortunately, Lady Luck was not on his side, but his partner did have an excellent hearing ability. He looked at the freckled boy's expression, fear evident in his wide-eyed face as he felt a weight drag his body. With Seungmin's left hand cuffed to Felix's right by a handcuff, the said male was squeezing his shoulder, which was awkward.

"What?" Felix shrieked in terror.

"That's it, it's a horror house. Your entrance tickets are in here! Seungmin and Felix, I wish you the best of luck." When Chan arrived at their side, he was able to pick up on what the puppy-looking boy had said and link it to Felix's frightened response.

The red-haired man shook his head and began walking towards the entrance, hoping to put an end to this nonsense as soon as possible. He came to a full halt not far from his previous spot, while his partner remained frozen in place, with no hope of moving.

"Is it possible to change the d-dare? I'm afraid of something like that, and I'm afraid we won't be able to finish this q-quickly because of it. And accept my apologies. May we please change the t-task?" In a hushed tone, the pink-haired male said, his eyes lost in Seungmin's and his head hanging low.

A light warmth encircled Seungmin's chest for a brief moment. His thoughts were completely lost in the charming scene in front of him. His features were sharp, but he continued to appear delicate, with freckles strewn over his face, creating constellations like the stars on a moonlit night. Plus, he has pink hair, which adds to his fluffiness.

But he was immediately pulled out of his trance as Jeongin's voice boomed, "I'm sorry, Mr. Lee, but that's not allowed."

Seungmin unconsciously glared at the fox boy as the poor freckled boy's aura darkened and his lips formed into a pout. Seungmin gently tugged the cuffs that held their wrists to get Felix's attention, as he was dissatisfied with the boy's expression. With a stoic face, the red hair male managed to convince his partner.

"It'll be fine, 30 minutes will fly fast. Besides, you're not entering alone.. you.. you have me" His voice getting low as it comes to and end.

Since realizing what he meant, the pink-haired man became more lively. He responded with a cheerful 'Okay', a soft smile on his mouth, causing Seungmin's blank face to crack into a slight smile. The scene caused the entire room to pause and look at their interaction; Seungmin's behavior was odd, but were they complaining? Certainly not.
