Chan took out his keys and opened the dorm's door.
One by one, we entered the apartment.

"Welcome to our beautiful dorm" Jisung said "Don't mind the clothes on the floor, it's normal"

There were multiple piles of clothes scattered all over the floor. I tried my best to avoid all of them.

"Does anyone have any ideas for dinner?" Seungmin asked

"Since she's our guest, Hanseo should choose" Felix said

They all looked at me "I can cook something"

"Yesterday I went grocery shopping, so we should have some ingredients" Jeongin said

I nodded and walked to the kitchen. I looked in the fridge and in the various drawers and cabinets. There indeed were quite a lot of ingredients.

"Okay, I'll start cooking. I'll call you when it's ready" I stated

"Do you think you need any help?" Chan asked me

"No, I'll be fine, thanks for asking though" I smiled

"Okay then, we'll let you cook in peace" Chan smiled back before walking off to somewhere else along with the other boys

I took out all the ingredients I needed and began cooking.

I decided to make some egg fried rice since we had all the right ingredients here at the dorm.

About 20 minutes later, I carefully divided the food into 9 plates before placing them on the big dining table.

"Dinner's ready" I yelled

Just a few seconds later, we were all sitting at the table, ready to eat. I was seated between my brother and Chan.

We started to eat, the fried rice came out better than I expected.

"Wow Hanseo, this is really good" Minho complimented me "I need the recipe"

"Yeah, it's great" Hyunjin agreed, gaining a glare from my brother

"Thanks, I'm glad you like it" I smiled "I'll give you the recipe later, promise"

As we ate, we all talked loudly, filling the dorm with laughter.

All of a sudden, Chan started coughing.

"Are you okay?" I asked him worriedly

"It's... spicy" he said between the coughs

"Is it?" I asked, I barely felt any spice in the fried rice

"He can't handle spice at all" Seungmin explained "Even the slightest hint of spice makes him cough, he's weak... it must be the old age"

"Here, drink some water" I passed a glass of water to Chan, who was still coughing

He chugged the water in just a few seconds. He seemed to feel better.

I delicately put a hand on his shoulder "Feeling better? I'm sorry, if I knew I would have made it less spicy"

Chan smiled and lightly shook his head "I'm good now, thanks. Don't worry, it's fine really"

After that, we resumed eating and talking. We were surprisingly able to finish dinner without Chan almost dying because of the spice.

We then all gathered in the living room to watch a film. No one really knew what to watch, so we put a random movie that a cool title.

At first, it seemed quite decent, but it soon turned out to be extremely repetitive and boring, so we all agreed on stopping it there.

The 9 of us were divided into 3 sofas. 3 people per sofa: I was with Minho and Chan, Jeongin with Hyunjin and Felix and finally Seungmin with Changbin and Jisung.

"Since we have nothing better to do" Changbin said with a smirk "Shall we play some truth or dare?"

Most of us groaned loudly, but we ended up agreeing to it since, like he said, there wasn't much else to do.

We started easy with some pretty chill dares and a couple of interesting truths.

"Hyunjin, truth or dare?" Seungmin asked him

The older seemed to think about it for a couple seconds before answering "Dare"

Seungmin smirked "Kiss Hanseo... on the cheek" he added after seeing the look on my brother's face

"No!" Both Hyunjin and Jeongin screamed at the same time

"No need to be so disgusted, it's not like I want it either" I mumbled to myself, unintentionally frowning a bit

Chan somehow managed to hear what I said and he began to softly pat my shoulder.

"There's no way Hyunjin is kissing my sister!" Jeongin stated

"You have to take the penalty then" Minho said

"What's the penalty?" My brother asked

"Hyunjin will have to kiss you. On the lips" Seungmin said, gaining a high-five from his couchmates

"Oh I was kidding" Jeongin said, completely disgusted "Take my sister, but don't touch me"

Hyunjin seemed extremely reluctant, but he stood up and slowly approached me.

He then leaned in and kissed my cheek.

The kiss ended the second his lips touched my skin, he instantly retracted himself and went back to his seat.
His touch was very gentle and soft, so soft that I could've barely noticed that he his lips had actually touched my cheek.

I felt like he was really disgusted by this, he did really fast, so the contact between us lasted the least amount of time as possible.

For some reason, I felt a bit hurt by how forced and annoyed he was.

Yet, deep down, I know I enjoyed it.
