End Game: My Brother, My Friend.... My Lover?

DOYOUNG

Looking at their faces tells me they never expected that kind of bomb earlier in the game. One thing I noticed though, Sowon and Junghwan simultaneously looked at each other a little longer to my liking.

I know it's expected for them to have some lingering feelings since they once dated and I'm sure they had good feelings towards each other since their break up wasn't a bad one. The fact that they remained as friends up to now and I can see Junghwan still care and attentive to her shows that there's a possibility of reunion when they both settle their differences in their working schedules which I think is the main reason why they broke up. Both of them are in the peak of their career and time is their enemy. Which is more likely the common causes of Celebrity break ups. And of course there's the differences in priorities and goals, and the uncertainties of every relationship's future.

"Oppa! I already drank mine! You're spacing out again." Rora's voice brought me back to my senses.

"H-huh? Bianhe, I just suddenly thought of something." I looked at them also looking at me. I met Junghwan's eyes, and I felt his stare weighs a lot of questions.

"So, are you gonna drink yours or not?" I was caught off guard with Junghwan's voice, maybe because it came out unexpectedly hard and demanding. What is he thinking? Is he annoyed?

"Who drank again?" I asked them again since I didn't really paid attention earlier. Only Rora raised her hand, meaning both Sowon and Junghwan didn't.

I pretended to touch my cup but I didn't intend to raise it to my lips.

"Wae? Why are you all looking at me?"

"You're not gonna drink yours Oppa?" Sowon asked.

"Mmmmmm......" I smiled and teasingly raise my cup to my lips while looking at them, letting my gaze stayed at Junghwan's a little longer, challenging him to react.

When his brows twitched into a slight frown, I smirked subtly and slowly placing my cup back down.

"Oppa!!" The two girls shouted.

"You're such a tease Oppa!" Rora complained.

"Wae? I was just weighing my options." I giggled teasing them more.

"Bwo?! Options? Meaning how many are they?" Junghwan's buttons finally erupted. I felt so satisfied looking at his hilarious facial reaction. I continued eye teasing him and the more I felt him agitated as if he wanted to pounce on me if not the 2 girls are around.

Two can play a game. To cover my insistent embarrassment from earlier's encounter, which kept on distracting me especially he's just in front of me. Seeing his face clearly and that kind of look which , I don't want to assume, is full of questionable vibe. lust? Annoyance? Irritation? Wae? Why would he be?

"Ani, guenyang...... its just a crush. Its normal to admire more than one person, right? Wae? How about you? Don't you have multiple crushes?" I bit back at him still smiling.

"When I like someone, I don't usually pay attention to others anymore. I stick by my choice until the end. If it works then he/she can have my loyalty but if it's not, then I'll move on." His words are firm and has finality in it. 'Why is he taking this game seriously?'

"Relax Oppa, you're too serious. But since you didn't drink does it mean you too secretly like someone right now? Ah I know my next take." Rora then raise her glass and gave her next challenge.

         "Never have I ever fell in love with a friend." She then drank her cup in one go. All of was were stunned as she drank her cup after.

"Wooh! That's a big one! And you drank??!!" Sowon exclaimed.
