"I am so royally fucked," Yujin thought to herself as she made her way up to her best friend's door, looking up at the night sky helplessly.

Yujin thought that she could avoid the infamous Kissing Game until she  graduated, but luck was never on her side. She had been walking through the halls, heading to her next class with her head facing the ground, when she caught a glimpse of Rei literally running at her with a shit eating grin spread across her face.

"Hey Unnie," Rei greeted as she reached the taller girl.

"Why do I get the feeling I'm going to hate you after this conversation?"  Yujin asked as she eyed Rei suspiciously.

"Because you are," Rei said, her grin turning wicked. "I completed the Kissing Game, so now I must pass the torch to my next victim of choice."

See, the Kissing Game is a tradition that all of the seniors at Yujin's high school ended up participating in, whether they wanted to or not. And they had absolutely no choice of who they ended up kissing. The rules are that a person is dared to walk up to the person they were dared to to kiss, kiss them, and then hide, while the other person has to find the original person and kiss them back. They could continue as long as they'd like, but they both had to kiss each other once before they could give up. Once they finished, they make someone else play by telling them who to kiss. And the cycle continues on and on and on.

Yujin was praying she'd never have to participate, finding it absolutely disgusting that it essentially force students to kiss people that they didn't even want to kiss at times. So just kept her head down, stayed away from people who were obsessed with the game, and went about her days antisocially. The only people she ever talked to were Yuna, Rei, Liz, and Wonyoung, and yet that still did nothing to help her chances at keeping away from the game.

"Are you fucking kidding me?! Rei you know I hate the Kissing Game!" Yujin whisper-shouted, grabbing the shorter girl's arm aggressively.

"I do, but the rules are rules. And at least I'm not making you kiss Lipless or anyone else awful, so can at least thank me for that," Rei said as she smacked Yujin's hand away.

"Then who the fuck am I kissing?!"

"Wonyoung." Rei shrugged nonchalantly, but her eyes glimmered with mischief.

Yujin's mouth dropped open as she stared at Rei with a look that could probably kill the shorter girl. "Are you out of your goddamn mind mind?! Wonyoung is my best friend and I'm not gay!"

"Hey I had to kiss Liz and you don't see me bitching about heteronormativity," Rei said pointedly.

"That's because you've had a crush on her since like sophomore year and you guys are probably still playing the game," Yujin huffed.

"Well you got me on that one," Rei chuckled. Ironically, Liz ran up to Rei at that exact moment, giving her a quick peck on the lips before running away giggling. "I'LL FIND YOU LATER BITCH!" Rei yelled down the hallway at her.

"See what I mean! You guys are finally acting on all that pent up frustration bullshit. It took you guys long enough," Yujin said as she gestured to where Liz ran off.

"Like you and Wonyoung don't have any tension. I see you two staring at each other all the time," Rei sassed as she pointed two fingers between her eyes and Yujin's.

"Rei, for the last time, I am straight and I don't like Wonyoung."

"We'll it sucks to suck, you have to kiss her whether you like it or not," Rei said as she walked off, blowing a kiss to Yujin, who flipped her off angrily.

Which brought Yujin here.

Yujin recounted the day's events as she reached her best friend's door, knocking lightly. Wonyoung swung the door open almost immediately, greeting Yujin with a wide smile.

"Hey Jinnie! What's up?" Wonyoung asked as she pulled Yujin inside, shutting the door behind her.

"Where is everyone?" Yujin asked as she looked around, trying to stall as long as possible.

"My parents are at a company dinner. Are you okay!" Wonyoung looked at the noticeably worried facial expression Yujin wore, placing a small hand on her best friend's shoulder for comfort"

"I uh... I just..." Yujin spoke before sighing frustrated, running a hand through her dark locks.

"Yujin, you can tell me anything, okay? I promise."

"Please don't hate me," Yujin whispered as she turned towards Wonyoung, looking right into her eyes.

"Yujin I could never possibly ha-"

Wonyoung's words were cut off by Yujin's lips gently capturing her own.

Wonyoung, for her part, was absolutely ecstatic. She had been crushing on Yujin for what felt like forever and never thought anything would become of them since Yujin was straight, but it seemed something had changed. Wonyoung closed her eyes and began returning the kiss, losing herself in the moment.

All too soon, Yujin pulled away, slowly looking at Wonyoung, who looked just as shocked as she felt. Wonyoung was about to ask what the kiss was about when Yujin whispered, "I'm sorry" and ran away from the brunette and farther into her house.

It hit Wonyoung then, what was happening, Yujin finally got made to play the Kissing Game, and Wonyoung was nothing but a victim. It hurt like hell for a moment, honestly. Wonyoung just stood there, staring at where Yujin have run off to, heartbroken. But then Wonyoung remembered she had to go find the brown eyed girl and kiss her back before the game was over. She decided she was gonna give Yujin the best damn kiss she's ever had, and if Yujin didn't want her by the time this game was over she would give up on her entirely.

Back in Wonyoung's father's office, Wonyoung was panting heavily in the supply closet. Partially due to running the entire house to hide, but mostly due to the severity of the situation. She and Wonyoung kissed  and she liked it. 'Fuck fuck fuck I'm so fucking fucked," Yujin thought as she paced the length of the closet, grabbing at her hair anxiously. 'I can't feel like this, not towards my best friend, I'm straight I can't feel like this."

Yujin heard the floor outside of the office door creak and she immediately stopped pacing and covered her mouth, praying her breathing wasn't loud enough to draw attention to herself. She listened as the door opened and heard the pattering of feet across the floor of the office. Yujin noticed that Wonyoung hadn't turned the lights on, so she was hoping the darkness would hide her from her best friend.

Suddenly the door to the closet whipped open, and Yujin looked up to see Wonyoung staring her down. Yujin couldn't see much, but she could tell in the way that Wonyoung's shoulders bunched up and how hard she was gripping on the door handle, that she was pissed and Yujin immediately hated herself for making Wonyoung mad.

"Wonyoung I swear to god I didn't - I- I mean it's all Rei's-"

"Yujin, shut the fuck up." Wonyoung commanded, effectively making Yujin stop talking. Yujin thought she fucked up their friendship for good until Wonyoung walked up to her, grabbed her by the nape of her neck, and pulled her in for a bruising kiss. Yujin couldn't help but gasp at the dominance Wonyoung was displaying, which gave the other girl the perfect opportunity to deepen the kiss. Yujin released a loud moan as Wonyoung's tongue brushed against her own, grasping roughly at her hips as they made out. When Yujin finally allowed herself to enjoy the kiss, Wonyoung pulled away completely, making Yujin almost lose her balance. They stood there for a moment, facing each other and breathing heavily, until Wonyoung bit her lip and looked up at Yujin through her eyelashes.

"My turn," she hushed out, and before Yujin could even think to respond, she was gone.
