Love and War

Truth

Irene, Seulgi, and Wendy are in Wendy's car on their way home to Yeri and Joy's house for the sleepover. They all are having sleepovers after a long since high school.

Irene was feeling all excited about the sleepover as she was sitting in the car's passenger seat with Wendy driving and Seulgi in the back seat. 

"Have you both brought your earplugs?" Wendy asks out of the blue. 

"Nope!" Irene and Seulgi reply in unison. 

"Why?" Seulgi asks looking up from her phone and in the back view mirror to meet Wendy's eyes. 

"Because... you know, this will not be a peaceful sleepover with those two chaotic kids," Wendy says with a sigh. Irene then looks at her and back at Seulgi as the three of them share a laugh.

They finally reach the house after 45 minutes of the ride. Their apartment is somewhat located near the deep forest. 

"WELCOME TO OUR HUMBLE ABODE YOU THREE!" Joy greets all of them with a hug. 

"Aish, why did you shout out loud?" Wendy asks rubbing her ears. Joy just gives all of them her eye-smile as she ushers them in.

After entering the house, they keep their sleepover bags in the living room as comes downstairs. "Hey, guys!" Yeri hugs all of them. 

"Now, who are the roommates as we have only three rooms," Yeri asks while sitting across them on the couch. "Let's go old times and decide this with a game of stone, paper, and scissors!" Seulgi chimes in with the idea. All of them seem to agree on that.

After half an hour of the conflicting game, they finally settle their roommates. 

Wendy and Irene are in the bigger room, Seulgi, and Joy in the small room as Yeri goes solo with the room with the balcony. 

"Ahhh....! This is nice to have room to myself," Yeri says as she runs upstairs to her room. 

"Well, looks like I'm going upstairs too... Seulgi comes after me to our room and helps me with your stuff," Joy orders Seulgi as she leaves for her room too. 

Seulgi, on the other hand, is a sweating mess. She didn't even dream about her sharing the same room with Joy, well, she did but it was only in her lucid dreams. 

"Should we use our earplugs tonight?" Wendy teases Seulgi as she turns a deep shade of red. "Son Seung-wan!" Seulgi glares at her as Irene and Wendy laugh at her. 

"Irene you too?!" she asks while desperation and disappointment fill her voice. Irene covers her mouth while laughing as tears escape her eyes. Seulgi huffs and storms up to her room.

They all are sitting in the living room and are watching "Hotel Del Luna". It's time for them to order some food. They have decided what to eat and it's time for payment. 

"Who is paying for the food?" Joy asks looking up from her phone. 

"What do you mean who is paying? Aren't we pooling the money?" Wendy asks. 

Joy smirks as an idea comes to her mind. "How about we do a dare?" Joy asks as she looks at Yeri who catches her signal. 

"What kind of dare are we talking about?" Irene asks pausing the TV. 

"Oh, it's nothing much! You know, we have a forest a few minutes away and it's dark too. We just have to go in the forest and the person who will run away from there will be the one paying!" Yeri explains while smiling all the time. 

"What makes you think that we'll do this?" Seulgi asks folding her hands in front of her chest as she raises one of her eyebrows. 

"Why are you scared, baby bear?" Joy teases her as all the others laugh.
