Twilight of Itaewon | Taekook ✔

46. Winter nights

"Hyung, will you teach me violin?"

They were sitting in the living. It's Christmas night. The day was wonderful. Cake cutting, cooking and eating together, playing games with uncle San, and now, they were at the living enjoying the night in silence. Yeonbin sharing a couch, Jae was lying on the floor, Jeongguk was on the beanbag and V was sitting on the chair next to him. Uncle San went out for some work. And it's just the five of them.

As Jeongguk said those words, Jae looked up and glared at him. It's not only Jae, but everyone in the room was glancing at him. He raised an eyebrow. It's just a violin, duh!

"You're not violin type. Why don't you try something else? "

It was Jae. He said with a scoff that made Jeongguk ball his fist tightly. He took a deep breath in and out. Yeonbin chuckled while V giggling, messing with his hair affectionately. Jeongguk let the other do anything.

"You're not my type either. Why don't you try shush then?"

Jeongguk replied. They all gasped for a moment. Then the three- Yeonbin and V laughed loud at an embarrassed Jae. "Woah... Comeback" -The three screamed. Jeongguk was flushed red by the cheers. He sat hugging his knees closer to his heart and noticed Jae ignoring him, murmuring a whatever. A small smile crept on his lips. God, this feels good.

"Can we play something?"

Yeonjun asked. He and Jae are trying their best to consider the existence of both in the same room. But better than Jeongguk and Jae though. As they all turned to him, Yeonjun looked at Soobin. What should they play?

"Never I have ever?"

It was Jeongguk who broke the silence. Even though it's a cliche game but there's nothing that can match the power that game holds. Jeongguk first thought to change the rules, but then decided to not. They all looked at each other to search for any denial. And when everyone agreed, Yeonjun stood up.

"I will get the drinks."

The game started. Drinks on the table, some snacks too. Everyone took a deep breath and sat around the small table. Soobin poured drinks to the glasses. After that, Yeonjun started.

"Never I have ever watched porn with my boyfriend."

There was a grin on Yeonjun's face that Soobin oh so badly wanted to wipe off. So he kicked the other with his elbow. Yeonjun jolted lightly and then asked a what. No one took a sip. Next was Soobin.

"Never I have ever copied in CSAT*"

Without thinking, Yeonjun and Jeongguk took a drink. It's CSAT, yes, there were risks to copy in exams. But guess what they did. Not only them but Jae too. They giggled and then continued.

"Never I have ever walked naked in Dear Moon"

Jae said and automatically, everyone turned to look at Yeonjun. Day by day, the blue head getting reason to hate this Jae guy. Yeonjun cursed under his breath and glared at a smirking Jae and sipped his drink. His throat burned first but he ignored it. The game continued.

"Never I have ever had a pet." 

As V said, Yeonjun and Jeongguk took a sip. They went silent for a moment, and then Jeongguk spoke.

"I have a dog at home. Gureum. He lives with my parents. I was young when I got him. He's like a white fluffy cloud. So, I named him Gureum."

As he spoke, they all listened to him patiently. Jeongguk never says things like this. God, he never speaks more than one sentence. They all had a fondness on their eyes and a sweet smile on their lips.
Jeongguk smiled back.
