TRUTH OR DARE? - l.dh

v. night 7

Oh how Sungmin enjoyed this. Its been a while since shes seen this sight.

Who wouldnt love the idea of seeing their brother all jittery and flustered every 2 minutes? And just because of a little crush!

Sungmin approves, she very much approves. Youre a nice person, she possibly loves you and how caring and nice and pretty and funny and kind hearted you are. Maybe that's just in her eyes, but thats not the point.

The point is how Donghyuck sees you with his eyes. Sungmin suspects with flying hearts all around you and an illuminating light from behind you, because he sure acts like he sees every good thing in the world when he sees you.

Apparently, youre not too good at faking a relationship and acting. At least, not after that night. Sungmin knows theres something between you two, she knows its not a real relationship. If it was, then Donghyuck wouldnt be acting so unnatural and aware of his surroundings in his own house.

And he would definitely not be avoiding any question or mention of your relationship.

"Hyuckie you're being very weird."

"Yeah? Well, youre weird too, Minnie." Donghyuck shoots back childishly at his sister. Its ridiculous to counter back with such a witty comment to a literal 9 year old. And he looks even more ridiculous with pancakes shoved in his mouth, as he spins on one of the high chairs.

Sungmin decides to not push on her brother, for it would end up with an argument she would very much win and leave her brother all petty. Instead, she walks over to you, eating your own plate of pancakes next to Donghyucks dear grandmother while you two watch a TV show.

"Hi Y/n," She says as she jumps next to you on the couch. Sungmin then reaches out to grab a pancake from your plate, bringing it up to her lips instantly. You dont comment about it, not when Sungmin leans onto you and gets comfortable on your shoulder. Its far too endearing to comment about. "Good morning,"

Theres a nice silence after that, only the clanking of dishes in the sink that Donghyuck chooses to wash, and the quiet dialogue of the people on the TV. You were so surprised when you found out Donghyucks grandmother enjoyed watching Dance Moms, but you see why she enjoys it. Dramatic mothers fighting and little girls wanting to be on top of a pyramid made of picture tapes to a mirror. Very entertaining.

"Do you know why Donghyuck is being so weird?"

The sudden question, and the very obvious answer sitting on your mind causes all your movement to stop. Yeah, youd rather not tell a 9 year old that her brother is being weird because he kissed someone he wasn't supposed to.

"W-what?"

"I know theres something going on, I can tell."

The way the words flow out of Sungmin so naturally, as she eats her (your previous) pancake is honestly a bit intimidating to you.

Maybe you should tell her.

Wait, what?! No! Dont tell your fake boyfriends little sister who, might you add, is 9! Thats a crazy idea!

"You're very smart."

God, why did you say that?!

"So, what is it, big sis?"

The urge to tell Sungmin is growing, with her big doe eyes, small anticipated smile, hell, how she called you big sis?!

"Sisters tell sisters everything, right sis?"

Shes clever, very clever.

Your chewing slows down, and at that point you cant even look Sungmin straight in the eye. You look to your side instead, because you know if you even glanced at her anticipated expression, shed notice the small curl of your lips, and youd spill the beans instantly.

You're shocked as you find not only is Sungmin looking at you with expectant eyes, but so is her grandmother, a slight smirk on her lips. Now she knows theres something wrong. 14 days is not that long, and youre spilling at day 8?

"Okay, fine." Youre not that good at keeping lies, anyway. "But you cant tell Donghyuck I told you, okay?"

You glance at Sungmin, and then her grandmother, "Both of you, please. Hed get so mad."

"Mad, shmad!" Sungmin exclaims, slapping the rest of her pancake back on your plate. "You're both acting so weird! What is it? Did you guys break a coffee table?!"

If that was her assumption, you wonder what her reaction to the real lie would be.

Extremely shocked, apparently, jaw dropping and eyes widening. Did she really think you broke a coffee table?

"You guys what?!"

"Shhh!" You instantly bring Sungmin closer to you and press a finger to your lips, shaking your head as you glance to the kitchen. Donghyuck hasnt noticed, you're definitely glad he doesnt. Thank god he has Michael Jackson booming through the kitchen.

"Wha-why?! He couldve just come without one!"

"I dont know! He said something about a promise, or something??"

Sungmin grabs your hand placed on her shoulder, holding it with both her her small hands. In the span of a second, her shocked and upset face turns upside down, and she shakes your hand.

"Wait no, this is good!"

"It is?"

"It is!!" Sungmins certain it is. He's finally found his true love.

Not really whats going on with the both of you, but shes still young so its understandable.

"He likes you! And I think you like him, too! You guys can date and he can fulfill his promise, this is so easy!"

No, not really. Again, she's still young, so she wouldnt know the fear and problems it can cause. Gosh, how much easier it would be if you did what Sungmin said.

It would be great to date Donghyuck, but you dont feel that way about him. No, last night was just a spur of the moment. Last night, where he made you an ice cream sandwich, a great ice cream sandwich. Last night, where he looked so good under the moonlight and streetlamp and fridge light. Last night where you very much wanted your lips to meet so badly. Last night where you caught feelings.

"Oh my god I do like him."

You dont hear Sungmins next words, you dont hear anything. You frankly cant focus on anything but your beloved fake boyfriend drying the plates. Dear god he looks extremely boyfriend material.

Donghyuck looks up, and catches your eyes. This obviously catches you off guard, but he remains calm, winking at you with a very exaggerated lip bite. Man, anything he does has you going crazy.

You're screwed.
