When We're Together [양정완]

36.

"Excuse me.. are either of you single?" The blonde girl's friend looked shocked as she turned to her friend.

The two males looked at each other, completely caught off guard. Jungwon raised an eyebrow, but quickly blurted, "I'm not."

His sudden claim earned a wide eyed response from Kim Sunoo who was hearing this news for the first time. "You-?"

His shock was cut off by a short kick delivered to his foot from Yang Jungwon who shot a piercing glance at the boy. If looks could kill, Kim Sunoo would have been dead in a second.

The girl who had asked them seemed more comfortable than her friend who awkwardly shifted in her seat. "Ah, what a lucky girl."

The peacefulness only lasted for a minute before she turned to Sunoo, seemingly having just remembered the boy's existence. "What about you?"

"No, I don't..." the boy smiled shyly and rubbed the nape of his neck. "But I'm not really looking for anybody right now..."

The girl nodded and smiled at him, "understandable."

The rest of the ride was fairly quiet. When the gondola reached the top, Jungwon bit his lip, trying not to focus on the height, and snapped a quick photo of the view. It was definitely worth it.

On their way back down, he opened his messages.

Jungwon:
Have you been on the farris wheel yet?

Aera:
No not yet
You?

Jungwon:
1 photo

Aera:
HEY YOU'RE SPOILING IT

Jungwon:
Tsk
If you wanted to see it, you should have come with me when I offered earlier

Aera:
Pft.

Chae Aera tiredly sighed as she rode the bus back to their hotel. There was only one more day left of their trip and her friends had already packed their last day full of activities.

However, the girl's worries were more about the coming night. The other girls in her room had decided (without her) that it would be a fun idea to get together a group of students for a game night.

What kind of game? Aera didn't know. But she did know that if it was Baram and Yoona who planned it, she probably didn't want to play.

Soon enough, dinner had passed and Aera was the last to make her way up to the room since she had to put the other's dishes away after loosing a game of rock paper scissors.

She suddenly received a message on her phone from Haneul: meet us in room 601.

601? Wasn't that Yang Jungwon and Kim Sunoo's room?

Aera shrugged. As long as the game wasn't something like spin the bottle, she was okay, right?

Wrong.

"Oh you're here finally." Eseo smiled as Aera entered room 601. There were probably about 12 students in the room, sitting on a circle in the middle of the floor. Another group of students were seated at the kitchen table, watching the game.

The second Chae Aera heard three words emerge from Baram's mouth, she wished she had just gone to her own room. "Truth or dare?"

She was about to insist that she didn't want to join, but her competitive spirit got the best of her when Haneul taunted her. Aera reluctantly joined the circle, sitting between Yoona and another girl she was unfamiliar with.

"Minju, truth or dare?" an unfamiliar third year asked a second year who Aera assumed was Minju.

"Hm. Truth."

"Alright, be honest. You like somebody in this circle don't you?"

Minju turned a bright shade of pink as she tried to laugh it off. The other students "ooo"ed as she hid her face behind her hands in embarrassment. "Fine- I do."

The ooo's grew even louder as the other students tried to guess who it was, but Minju simply stayed quiet, refusing to give and more hints.

Aera looked around the circle and counted the familiar faces. There were less than she would have liked. She did spot Yang Jungwon, Sim Jaeyun, Kim Sunoo, and Baek Junhyun, however, in addition to the girls she already knew.

Minju turned to Yoona, "Truth or dare?"

Yoona, being Yoona, confidently selected dare with a smirk on her face. Minju thought for a moment before speaking, "Okay, then I dare you to point at the person you think is the most attractive."

While everybody else oo-ed and ah-ed, Yoona seeing unfazed. "Only in the circle? Or can I do anybody in the entire room?"

"Hm.. only in the circle."

"Okay... we'll it's kinda hard to choose, but-" She pointed at a wavy haired boy wearing a white hoodie. She didn't know his name, but ever since she had entered the room, her eyes kept following him.

"Jake?" Minju smirked as she giggled and the other students oo-ed again.

Sim Jaeyun, better known as Jake, bit his lip and looked down, trying his best not to look happy, but of course he was at least a little proud after being chosen as most attractive by a pretty girl.

Yoona quickly moved on, so as not to embarrass herself, and turned to Chae Aera. "Aera, truth or dare?"
