"What kind of game?", Felix asked curiously, speaking my mind.

The youngest boy took a big breath, his face lighting up with excitement. "So, we are gonna split into teams of two. In each team the one person is gonna climb on the other person's shoulders and try to destroy the other teams' human tower!", he clapped his hands cheerfully, glancing at all of us with anticipation. His eyes fixated on the Abin couple, with Ava being on top of Changbin's shoulders. Jeongin pointed his finger at them with a smile. "Our couple over there is already a tower, so we need another team to go fight them!", he giggled evilishly.

Does he sound violent, or is it just me?

"Alright, how are the teams gonna be?", the youngest clapped his hands, getting our attention. We all looked at one another, not speaking, unsure of how we would devide into teams of two.

"Kitten's with me.", Minho broke the silence, smirking wickedly, while lowering his gaze on Mia.

The short girl widened her eyes in disbelief and shook her head furiously. "What? I don't want to, you are gonna throw me in the water again!-", she tried to protest, but Minho interrupted.

"Get on and let's get it over with.", he narrowed his gaze at her and bended down, for Mia to climb on his shoulders. The girl groaned, displeased with her fighting partner, as no one seemed to volunteer getting her out of her 'misery'. Although deep down, she knew that she liked this turn of events.

Watching the way everyone's eyes focused on me next, as I was the only remaining girl and an easier body to lift, I gulped. I saw the way Chan parted his lips to speak and I panicked.
"I'm going with Jeongin!", I yelled anxiously, not wanting to risk anything.

The poor boy held a terrified look on his face and stared at me apologetically. "O-Olivia, with all due respect, I-I can't even support m-myself, let alone another person on top of me...", he rubbed the back of his neck and I sighed disappointedly.

It's okay, there are more fish in the sea. More like a lake than a sea, but anyways.

"Then, I'll go with Seungmin!", I held hope in my eyes, praying that he wouldn't reject me, like Jeongin did.

But to my dismay, his eyes said other wise. "You know, there's a reason why I chose music course, instead of the sports one.", he laughed, self-pitying his own body and comparing it to the rest of his friends.

"Felix?"

"Nope, I'm staying out of this.", he laughed and withdrew his body, stepping out of the human circle we had created.

This little traitor-

I frustratedly run a hand through my face and groaned. Never in my life had I experienced such rejections. Three in a row. Three rejections from my own friends?!
"Hyunjin!? You are tall and I'm sure you can lift me!", I shouted, loosing all hope at this point.

Hyunjin rubbed the back of his neck apologetically and smiled.
"Like you said, I'm tall which means it's too dangerous for anyone to climb on my shoulders. So, I think I'm staying out of this too.", he followed Felix and I sighed.

Make them four...

"Jagiya~", a playful tone of voice called me from across the circle and slowly, I looked up to the source of that unfamiliar word.
My deep frown instantly disappeared once I came face to face with a smirking Jisung, who was wiggling his eyebrows and making kissing sounds at me, like the crackhead he is.
"Honey?", he called out to me again and I laughed.
