the dare - c.yj & c.sb

chapter 16

"well, well, well.. look who finally decided to show up."

their words excitedly call out above the whole entire cafeteria- so crisp and sharp that it completely devours others conversations. ringing out with such a powerful sense that others spin their heads around to gape.

he smiles shyly at the words- eyeing the trio in their usual spots as he slowly approaches them. looking at how they all were greatly entertained with his sudden appearance.

"heyy.." he says flatly, looking at how they intensely stare at him as he slips into his usual seat.

taehyun shifts around, pushing in closer to beomgyu next to him, "thanks for ditching us last time."

hueningkai reaches over to gently nudge him, "he went to go see soobin. duh."

yeonjun swallows- getting embarrassment to crawl up his neck like a disease, "i.. i went to class."

beomgyu scoffs, "please. it was so obvious."

taehyun shrugs, looking down at his soggy school food, "we followed you anyway."

yeonjun's eyes widen, "you followed me?"

"you haven't been telling us anything!" hueningkai protests.

"you guys looked so cute talking.." beomgyu hums.

"i was so sure you guys were going to like hug.. or kiss at the end." taehyun says.

"has he said yes yet?" hueningkai asks, turning to yeonjun as he switches the subject around.

the elder shakes his head, "it's.. i mean, i don't know. i told you already how i'm so close."

"we were just talking about it." beomgyu says.

yeonjun eyes him, "you were?"

taehyun nods, "we were trying to brainstorm. you're so close to sealing the deal."

"i'm telling you.. that one shopping date would be the perfect opportunity."

"yeah, but that's like tricking him. we need soobin to actually say yes."

"why don't you just straight up ask him?" taehyun questions.

yeonjun shakes his head, "it has to be like.. in a smooth way."

"wait, wait, i got it.. just say you want a bite to eat, take him with you, and then boom.. that's you're date. just you and him."

"that's still tricking him." beomgyu says.

hueningkai sighs, "you're right."

"maybe.. you can pretend to be.. wait, no that doesn't make sense.." taehyun starts, though hesitates to finish his thought.

they all sit in silence for a second; pondering and going over every single possibility that would get yeonjun to the finish line.

"fuck.." taehyun whispers, "i got nothing now."

"me neither," beomgyu says.

"maybe we should just call the dare off." hueningkai sighs, "i mean.. it's been going on for so long and we haven't really gotten anywhere."

yeonjun's eyes widen- panic suddenly springing off his body; getting him to instantly straighten up at the idea that stung his ears, "no."

"no?" they all eye and turn to him.

yeonjun looks at their gazes full of suspicion- getting him to hurriedly blink and fumble over his words, "i mean.. i just know that i'm so close. if we come up with an actual good plan i think that i can do it."
