The weekend had finally arrived, and Jisung stood in front of Chan's house, trying to calm his nerves. The warm light spilling out from inside contrasted with the cool evening air, making the house seem even more inviting. With a deep breath, Jisung knocked on the door, which opened almost immediately.

Felix greeted him with a wide grin, pulling him into a quick hug. "Jisung! Glad you made it. Come on in! everyone's already here."

Jisung stepped inside, immediately feeling the warmth and energy radiating from his new friends. The living room was cozy, filled with blankets, pillows, and the soft murmur of conversation. Chan, Hyunjin, Changbin, Jeongin, Seungmin, and Minho were all scattered around, their voices overlapping in a comfortable, familiar way.

"Jisung!" Chan called out from where he was lounging on the couch. "Get over here! We're just about to start."

Jisung smiled, settling down beside Felix and Hyunjin on the floor. Across the room, Minho sat with his usual aloof expression, though Jisung noticed that he wasn't as intimidating as he first seemed. The group's warmth had started to make even Minho's presence feel more approachable.

They spent the evening playing games, the room filled with laughter and light-hearted teasing. Jisung wasn't particularly good at charades or Pictionary, but the group's energy was infectious, and he found himself laughing along despite his occasional mistakes.

As the night progressed, the atmosphere shifted to something more relaxed. It was then that Chan, with a mischievous glint in his eyes, suggested, "How about we play Truth or Dare?"

Everyone seemed on board, though Jisung hesitated. He wasn't sure he was ready for the potential embarrassment that could come from the game, but he didn't want to be the odd one out either.

"I think I'll sit this one out," Jisung said with a polite smile. "I'll just watch."

Felix nodded in understanding. "No worries, Jisung. We'll keep you entertained."

The game started with a few light dares and simple truths, the group laughing and teasing one another. But as the game went on, the challenges grew bolder, and the atmosphere turned a little more charged.

When it was Minho's turn, Felix couldn't resist the chance to put him on the spot. "Minho, truth or dare?"

Minho, as always, remained composed. "Dare."

Felix grinned mischievously. "I dare you to kiss Seungmin."

The room fell into an uncomfortable silence. Seungmin blushed deeply but leaned slightly towards Minho, clearly nervous but willing to go through with it. Jisung's heart pounded in his chest, both from the tension in the room and from the anticipation of Minho's reaction.

But instead of going through with it, Minho's expression hardened. He stood up abruptly, his movements sharp and almost angry. "This is stupid," he muttered, his tone icy. Without another word, he walked out of the room, leaving everyone in stunned silence.

Seungmin looked down, clearly embarrassed, his face a deep shade of red. Felix's smile faded, replaced by a look of regret.

"Sorry, Seungmin," Felix said quietly. "I didn't think he'd react like that."

Seungmin forced a small smile. "It's okay," he mumbled, though the hurt in his eyes was clear.

Chan quickly suggested that they call it a night, sensing that the fun had drained from the room. As everyone started settling down to sleep, Jisung couldn't help but replay the scene in his mind. Something about Minho's reaction didn't sit right with him.

As they began to settle down to sleep, Jisung found himself sharing a bedroom with Felix. The house was big enough that they each had their own sleeping bags, and after the long day, Jisung was grateful to have a familiar face beside him.
