Captive Obsession

Chapter 22: Truth or Dare

Lisa sat on the edge of the couch, the room feeling both familiar and strange with Jennie's sudden departure. And now, with Jennie gone for a few days, Lisa felt adrift in a sea of uncertainty. Nayeon, Jennie's friend, was supposed to keep her company, but there was something about her that made Lisa uneasy.

Nayeon lounged casually in the chair across from her, a playful smile tugging at her lips. "So, Lisa, looks like we're going to be spending a lot of time together," she said, her tone light and teasing.

Lisa forced a polite smile. "Yeah, it seems so."

Nayeon's eyes sparkled with amusement. "Don't look so tense. I'm not that bad, you know."

Lisa's discomfort grew as she felt Nayeon's gaze linger on her a bit too long. She shifted in her seat, trying to find something to say that wouldn't betray her unease. "It's just... a lot to take in," she admitted.

Nayeon nodded, her expression softening slightly. "I get it.
the fact that seojin wants to kill you but he's the one who died first."

"Hays, you have no idea what I've been through thsi days," Lisa murmured, her thoughts drifting back to Jennie's sudden departure and the cryptic nature of her mission. She wished she knew more about what Ruby was capable of, but Jennie had been vague, only hinting at the dangers.

"Hey," Nayeon said, her voice pulling Lisa back to the present. "How about we play a game to lighten the mood? Something fun to break the ice."

Lisa looked at her, curious. "What kind of game?"

Nayeon grinned. "Truth or Dare. It's a classic. And it might help us get to know each other better. What do you say?"

Lisa hesitated. Playing a game seemed trivial given everything that was happening, but the idea of breaking the awkward tension was appealing. "Alright, sure. Truth or Dare it is."

Nayeon clapped her hands together. "Great! I'll start. Truth or Dare, Lisa?"

"Truth," Lisa said, figuring it was the safer option.

Nayeon leaned back in her chair, thinking. "Okay, here's an easy one. What's your favorite memory with Jennie?"

Lisa smiled, despite herself. "There are so many, but I think my favorite is the time we went to Thailand to visit my family. It was totally fun, and we spent the whole day laughing and talking. It was... perfect."

Nayeon nodded, her smile genuine. "Sounds wonderful. Your turn."

Lisa thought for a moment. "Truth or Dare, Nayeon?"

"Dare," Nayeon said without hesitation.

"Alright," Lisa said, a mischievous glint in her eye. "I dare you to... make an impression of Jennie."

Nayeon laughed, then composed herself, adopting a serious expression. She folded her arms and gave Lisa a piercing stare. "Lisa, you need to listen to me. This is serious. You have no idea what's at stake." She mimicked Jennie's tone perfectly, and Lisa couldn't help but laugh.

"That was pretty good," Lisa admitted.

Nayeon grinned. "Glad you think so. Your turn. Truth or Dare?"

Lisa felt a bit more relaxed now. "Dare."

"I dare you to... dance with me," Nayeon said, standing up and holding out her hand.

Lisa hesitated, but Nayeon's smile was infectious. She took Nayeon's hand and allowed herself to be pulled up. They danced around the room, laughing and letting go of the tension that had been building.

After a few minutes, they collapsed onto the bed, breathless and giggling. Lisa realized that Nayeon's plan to ease the awkwardness was working. She felt more at ease, more comfortable around her.
