our rainy days || yang jungwon

Chapter 17

Looking straight into my soul, he replied softly, saying "I wouldn't want it to be anyone else, and besides, you have me, don't you?"

Jae-in POV

Smiling back, I nodded and continued to enjoy the food. "Let's play truth or dare!" Jake said, right after I had finished my 3rd pudding cup.

The steak at this restaurant definitely wasn't the best but the pudding was so good. Like so good I needed a bucket of it to be shipped to the dorm. We all agreed to playing the game and got a bottle of sprite to spin in the middle of the table.

Jake spun first and it landed on Sunoo. "Truth or dare?" Sunoo ended up choosing truth.

"How come you and Ni-ki always end up in the same bed?" Jay asked, wiggling his eyebrows.

Laughing and exasperated, Sunoo explained that Ni-ki claimed that he wasn't scared of horror movies so they watched one together, and afterwards Ni-ki couldn't sleep so he climbed into Sunoo's bed and now Sunoo couldn't get rid of him.

Couldn't or wouldn't... I laughed silently, knowing Sunoo didn't mind Ni-ki sleeping with him. Then Sunghoon spun the bottle and it landed on Jungwon.

"Truth or dare?" He asked.

"Dare"

Sunghoon nodded, contemplating for a minute before smiling mischievously and replying "Let Jae-in sleep in our room tonight."

Jungwon looked confused, before muttering out "But manager-nim will shoo her out anyway..."

"Not if she hides under one of our covers, manager-nim doesn't check her room so he won't even know she's gone."

Looking stunned and probably like a dead fish, I stammered out "Shouldn't I have a say in this? I mean how is this Jungwon's dare.."

"A dare is a dare.. unless you want Jungwon to do the forfeit?"

Damn it he got me. We had decided that the forfeit would be to go out into the snow in a tank top and shorts for at least 30min since we didn't think the dares or truths would be that hard.
I looked at Jungwon, unsure what to do.

"It's okay, I'll do the forfeit, it'll probably be awkward for you to sleep in any of our beds since there's no extra in our room."

"No way, I can't let you go out there in barely anything, do you realise it's like -6 degrees celsius out there?"

"Yes, but-"

"I'm not letting you out there and that's final. You could get a cold or hypothermia or frostbite and there's no way I'm letting you take that risk."

We kept arguing back and forth until we got cut off by Sunghoon's yawn. That rude lil-

"If Jae-in hasn't decided, Jungwon will just have to do the forfeit I guess..."

"NO WAIT I'll do it, I'll do it"

"Shouldn't it be my decision since it's my dare?" Jungwon asked.

I shook my head vigorously, insisting on it so hard that Jungwon had no choice but to comply.

"I mean... I could always sleep with Jake?" I looked hopefully at my brother, hoping he would save me from this awkward situation.

However, Jake laughed and shook his head. "Sorry sissy, you're on your own for this one." Of course he wouldn't help, what was I thinking.

We continued on with the game until it got to Jungwon's turn. The bottle slowed down until the nozzle faced me. Letting out a breath, I waited for Jungwon to ask the question.

"Truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Who are you going to sleep with?"

Shocked, I looked at him, but he looked dead serious. "Haha...don't say it like that, I'll decide when we reach the dorm, alright?"

"Oh cmon just answer, I'm sure SOMEONE really wants to know," Jay said out of the blue, eyes twinkling and watching Jungwon suggestively.

Sensing something amiss, Sunghoon joined in, saying "Yeah..I'm sure you have an answer already anyway."

Seeing my completely frozen figure, not sure what to say, Heeseung quickly saved me by saying "Let's head back now, she can show us her choice instead of saying it."

Not much better but at least I could stall for time.  I smiled thankfully at Heeseung, to which he winked back.

Maybe Jake would change his mind if I pleaded with him and promised to do his laundry for a week? Maybe a month? No... he already made it very clear I had to deal with it myself.

Maybe Sunghoon? I mean he did come up with the dare, could be a form of karma? No... I was still mad at him for forcing us into a corner and making me choose between peaceful sleep and Jungwon's life. Yes I'm dramatic, sue me.

On the drive back to the dorm I was thinking of ways around it, and ended up with a pretty good plan.

As we arrived, we all showered and washed up for bed, which was when Sunghoon came to pester me again, right before I got to the sweet solace of my room.

"Wrong room hun, don't forget the dare!" I let out a grunt of frustration and followed him into the members' room.

When I went in, Jay was already sound asleep, with earplugs in and a sleeping mask on. Jake was playing on his phone and Heeseung had gone to the bathroom. Sunoo and Ni-ki were huddled up on Sunoo's bed.

Time to put my plan into action. "I'll just sleep on Ni-ki's bed then, since he's with Sunoo.."

"That won't work, the manager will realise that Ni-ki is with Sunoo and wonder why there's a person on Ni-ki's bed. It'd be better if you could sleep against one of the walls in an already occupied bed to stay hidden." Heeseung walked in saying.

And the fact that I thought he was on my side! Offence taken.

Jungwon climbed off his bed, saying "This is my fault, I should've just taken the forfeit, you can sleep in my bed if you want...I promise it'll be like I'm not even there after the manager leaves."

I looked at his genuine eyes and almost-grimace, as if expecting rejection. "Sure... I don't think anyone else is willing anyway, and it's both our faults if any."

With that, we went to join a conversation with Heeseung, until 15min before the manager was expected to come.
