Chapter Thirteen: Games

"Truth or dare?"

Jungwon nodded excitedly, hoping the four would join him, Heeseung and K. "Sounds like fun," Daisy said, sitting on the couch next to the building's maknae. The others agreed, and they sat in a large circle in the living room.

"I'll start," Daisy mischievously declared. "K oppa, truth or dare?"

"I don't like the look in her eyes," Sunghoon laughed.

"Truth," K answered.

"Who is your ideal type?"

He flushed before answering. "Momo 선배님." Daisy nodded in approval, expressing her own interest in Jihyo. K was next, and targeted Heeseung who chose truth as well.

"Do you think you're the best performer here?"

"No," he quickly answered. "There are a lot of amazing people here, I'm not the best." He targeted Jungwon, who chose dare.

"Take a shot of soy sauce!"

Everyone giggled in anticipation as they followed the youngest to the kitchen. He grabbed the soy sauce and a small glass, Daisy gagging at the thought of what he was about to do.

"Cheers," he grimaced, downing the soy sauce. He immediately coughed, chugging some water afterward. "That was so gross." They continued playing until it came back to Jungwon who asked Daisy. She chose truth.

"If you had to kiss someone here, who would you choose?" Daisy flushed, not expecting that question.

"On the lips?"
"Yes."

She glanced around awkwardly, unsure of how to answer. She didn't want to make it seem like she preferred Sunghoon over Jay or vice versa, and if she chose someone who wasn't them they may take it the wrong way.

"I wouldn't mind kissing any of you," she finally settled on. "Except you, K oppa. You're too old for me."

"Valid," K replied.

"Why did you even ask that?" Sunghoon suddenly interjected, his brows furrowed in slight annoyance. She placed a hand on his knee.

"It's the game, Hoon. It's okay."

He pursed his lips before settling down. It was Daisy's turn once more, and she chose Jay. Jay, being Jay, chose dare. She smirked, and he immediately knew he'd regret his answer.

"I'll whisper it to you so you're not too embarrassed." He raised an eyebrow in curiosity as she leaned in, her breath touching his ear.

"Kiss Sunghoon."

"What?" he exclaimed, turning beet red. She giggled.

"You don't have to do it if you really don't want to. And naturally, all parties have to agree it's okay." Jay was stumbling over his words, completely unsure of what to do. He didn't want to back down, but this was a bit much.

"Noona is scary," Jungwon whispered to Heeseung who nodded.

"F-fine," he agreed. Her eyes lit up with a combination of surprise and respect. Jay dragged Sunghoon up, pulling him to a separate room, Daisy following.

"What's going on?" Sunghoon nervously asked.

"Jagi," Daisy cooed. "Can Jay kiss you? Just a peck?"

She swore Sunghoon's eyes became saucers, his pale skin turning strawberry red. "You're serious?" She nodded, but grabbed both their hands in hers.

"I promise you, I will not be upset at all if you don't do this. I just wanted to make things interesting, but I would never want to make you guys uncomfortable. So just say no, and it'll be done."

Sunghoon gulped, considering her words and sneaking glances at Jay. Would it be that awful? "I-I'll do it," he stuttered. Daisy grinned devilishly.

"I'll leave you two alone," she said in a sing-song voice before closing the door behind her.

The two boys stood in awkward silence, both in disbelief at what their girlfriend had managed to get them to do. "We will never speak of this," Jay said, taking the smallest of steps towards Sunghoon.

"Of course," Sunghoon agreed, his heart pounding. God, it was awkward.

Another minute passed before Jay cleared his throat. "We should just get it over with." The other boy nodded in agreement, but stiffened in surprise when Jay actually closed his eyes.

Realizing he had to follow suit, he reluctantly let his fall closed as well, leaning in the tiniest bit. He froze when he felt the warmth of Jay's breath on his lips. "A-are you sure?"

Jay responded by leaning in and connecting their lips. It was hardly a kiss, more like their mouths smashed together since neither took the time to make sure they wouldn't collide.

"Ow," Sunghoon hissed. "Why would you do that so harshly? That hurt my mouth."

"I'm sorry, did you want me to take my time?" Jay sarcastically retorted. Sunghoon flushed, shaking his head.

"That's not what happens when we kiss Daisy, is it?"

"I hope not," Jay muttered as the two returned to the living room. Daisy smiled, grabbing both of their hands in hers and offering a small squeeze.

"What did you make them do?" Jake asked, suspicious of their slightly red faces and extremely awkward interaction.

"Absolutely nothing," Daisy insisted.

Jake and Daisy were cooking ramen together.

She was craving it, but didn't want to do it alone. The Aussie boy agreed to help if they could make enough for both of them. "Add more water," he instructed.

"This much?"
"Yeah, that's good."

They set it to boil before going over to the noodles and seasonings.

"Add more salt."
"No, it's already got plenty."
"It's gonna disperse more in the water though."

Daisy huffed, giving in to Jake. He pinched her side, making her yelp and smack his shoulder. They finally finished making the meal after more bickering and disagreements over how it should be made.

Sitting down to eat it, Daisy couldn't help but let out a hum of delight. "It's just the right amount of salt, huh?" Jake smugly teased. She elbowed him as he laughed.

"You're kind of a brat."
"Oi, I'm older than you!"
"And?"
"Show me some respect."

She playfully rolled her eyes, taking another bite of her ramen but hissing in pain. "What happened?" Jake asked, his tone completely different.

"I burned my tongue," Daisy whined.

Jake grimaced, offering her his water. She took a sip, but continued to dramatically complain. His expression changed, and she felt her heart skip a beat. "I've heard saliva helps with pain."

She flushed slightly, unable to stop a small grin from showing itself. "You plan on helping me?" Jake merely shrugged, turning to face her.

"Would you like help?"

Daisy grew impatient, grabbing his collar and pulling him forward until their noses were touching. "No more talking." She connected their lips, and smiled internally at the taste of ramen lingering on his mouth.

His hands connected with her waist, hers finding themselves in his hair. When they trailed down to his chest, she noticed how fast his heart was beating and couldn't help but giggle a bit.

"You really like me, don't you?"

Jake flushed, breathing heavily against her lips. "I do," he admitted, gently kissing her once more. "It scares me a little." Her stomach suddenly growled, making both laugh and pull away.

"Eat before it gets cold."
"네."
