A day before++

Taehyun approached Yeonjun's room, ready to invite him to play video games, but found it empty. Thinking Yeonjun might be in the bathroom, he checked but discovered he was wrong. As he turned to leave, something caught his eye—a book left open on the desk. Intrigued, Taehyun glanced at the pages and noticed Soobin's name written in a page. His curiosity piqued, he couldn't help but wonder what thoughts or stories Soobin had shared in there. 

But it wasn't Soobin's diary; it was Yeonjun's. As Taehyun skimmed through the pages, his heart sank. Yeonjun's every emotion laid bare in this book. There were raw confessions about his feelings for Beomgyu, a tangled mix of admiration and sadness, alongside Beomgyu's own broken feelings for Soobin. The words dripped with Yeonjun's resentment toward Soobin, revealing a complicated web of love and jealousy.

Yeonjun had documented how Beomgyu was suffering under the weight of his own silent struggle, all due to Yeonjun's selfish plans. Taehyun's mind raced with shock, but he maintained a calm exterior, determined to process this revelation without letting his emotions take over. He had always known there were complexities in their group, but this? This was a web of unspoken feelings and hidden struggles.

Just then, Yeonjun's voice sliced through the tension. "Taehyun, what are you doing?? Is that my—?" He rushed forward, snatching the diary back from Taehyun's grasp, his expression a mix of panic and anger.

Taehyun took a step back, his heart pounding. "Hyung, what I read is all true??" he pressed, his voice steady despite the whirlwind of emotions inside him.

Yeonjun's eyes widened, caught between defensiveness and guilt. "You weren't supposed to see that," he muttered, gripping the diary tightly. "It's... complicated."

Taehyun felt a surge of frustration. "Complicated? Yeonjun, you've laid bare feelings that could hurt all of us. Beomgyu... Soobin... even you. How could you keep this hidden?"

Yeonjun's shoulders sagged, the fight draining from him. "I thought I could handle it on my own. I didn't want to drag anyone else into it."

"Dragging us into it? You're already in the middle of it!" Taehyun argued, his calm facade cracking. "We're a team, remember? We're supposed to support each other."

Yeonjun looked down, the weight of his secrets heavy in the air. "I know... I just didn't want to burden anyone."

"But we can figure this out together. You don't have to carry this alone." Taehyun said softly.

"But it is... already messed up. I don't think we can—" Yeonjun started, but Taehyun cut him off.

"I've got a plan. Believe it or not, my plans never go south."

Yeonjun raised an eyebrow, curiosity flickering in his eyes. "What is your plan??"

"Plan one: turn any obstacle into an opportunity."

"Huh?? But what if there is no such obstacle?" Yeonjun asked, still skeptical.

Taehyun grinned. "We're going to use Plan 2: Play a planned game of Truth or Dare."

"Planned??"

"Yep. In this version, I control who does what—every dare, every truth. The bottle will stop spinning when I wish." Taehyun's smirk widened, his confidence infectious.

Yeonjun stared at him, a mix of hope and apprehension washing over his face. "And you think that will help?"

"Trust me, it will. Everyone will have to confront their feelings—whether they want to or not." Taehyun's eyes sparkled with mischief. "It's time to shake things up."

Yeonjun hesitated, the weight of his feelings still heavy, but the flicker of hope ignited by Taehyun's determination made him consider it. "Alright, let's do it. But if this goes south..."

"It won't," Taehyun assured, clapping a hand on Yeonjun's shoulder. "Just trust the plan."
