~fifty four~

As the movie ended, the group decided to switch gears and play some card games. They gathered around the table, trying to keep quiet to let Sunghoon and Eunji sleep a little longer.

But just when the game started getting interesting, Eunji stirred. She blinked groggily, taking in her surroundings for a moment before realizing where she was, and who she was lying on.

Her eyes shot open, and she let out a loud scream, jumping up from the couch.

"OH MY GOD!" she screamed, scrambling off of Sunghoon so fast that she accidentally shoved him off the couch.

Sunghoon yelped as he hit the floor with a loud thud.

"What the—?!" Sunghoon groaned, rubbing his side, still half-asleep and totally confused.

Eunji stood frozen, wide-eyed, as the rest of the group erupted in laughter.

"You—you were lying on each other!" Hana managed to gasp out, nearly falling off her chair in laughter.

"I WAS NOT!" Eunji insisted, her face turning bright red. "I didn't—I didn't know!" She tried to explain, but her embarrassment only made it funnier.

Sunghoon glared up at her from the floor, rubbing his side. "You didn't have to push me off the couch!"

"I didn't mean to!" Eunji shot back, but her flustered state made the situation impossible to take seriously.

The chaos woke Eunha, who blinked sleepily at the commotion. She sat up, rubbing her eyes. "What's going on?"

Hana, wiping away tears of laughter, barely managed to explain through her giggles, "Eunji fell asleep on Sunghoon, and when she woke up, she freaked out and pushed him off the couch."

Eunha shook her head, still processing, but a small smile tugged at her lips as the absurdity sank in.

She glanced at Sunghoon, who was still on the floor, trying to regain his composure, and then at Eunji, whose face was practically glowing red.

"Wow." Eunha muttered, now fully awake and amused.

Sunghoon finally sat up, still rubbing his side. "This is all your fault, Eunji." he grumbled.

"My fault?!" Eunji exclaimed, her hands flailing in defense. "You're the one who fell asleep too! Don't act like it's just me!"

"Well, you were the one on top of me!" Sunghoon shot back, causing another round of laughter to break out.

Eunha stood up and stretched, shaking her head. "Okay, okay, it's no big deal." She walked over to the table where everyone was sitting. "What game are you playing?"

"We just started a card game." Heeseung said as he shuffled the deck.

Eunha turned to Niki. "I want to play too."

Niki looked at her, a little surprised. "Are you sure? You should still rest."

Eunha smiled. "I'm fine, really. It's boring just sitting here watching."

Hana, overhearing their conversation, immediately perked up. "Yes! Finally, Eunha's joining the fun!" She grabbed a chair and pulled it over. "You can sit here."

She took the seat next to Niki, who watched her closely to make sure she was steady. "Alright, let's play."

"About time!" Jay teased, tossing her a few cards. "You're on my team."

"No way." Niki interjected. "She's on my team."

Eunha raised an eyebrow at him. "What, I don't get to pick?"

"Nope." Niki said confidently, his smile teasing. "You're stuck with me."

Eunha rolled her eyes but couldn't help smiling back. "Fine, but if we lose, it's your fault."

Heeseung laughed. "Niki's actually pretty good at this game. You might be the one holding him back, Eunha."

Eunha gasped dramatically. "Rude!"

The group erupted in laughter as the game kicked off.

Eunji and Sunghoon, still bickering from earlier, were clearly the most competitive, throwing playful insults at each other with every card they played.

"Do you even know how to play, Eunji?" Sunghoon said, placing his card down with a triumphant grin. "You look like you're about to lose."

"Please." Eunji shot back, flicking a card toward him. "You're the one who's about to eat your words."

Hana snickered from the sidelines, munching on snacks as she watched the chaos unfold. "I love how neither of them can admit they're bad at this."

Meanwhile, Niki leaned closer to Eunha, pointing at her cards. "Alright, here's what you need to do—"

She cut him off with a light elbow nudge. "I know how to play, Niki. Stop trying to coach me."

He grinned, raising his hands in mock surrender. "Alright, alright. Just trying to help."

As the game went on, the room was filled with laughter, competitive banter, and the sound of cards slapping against the table.

Eunha felt herself getting more energized, enjoying the company of her friends and the lighthearted fun.

At one point, she even managed to beat Sunghoon in a round, earning a round of cheers from the others.

"See?" she teased, leaning back in her chair with a triumphant smile. "Maybe I'm not the one holding Niki back."

Sunghoon groaned, rubbing his temples. "Beginner's luck."

Eunji stuck her tongue out at him. "Face it, Sunghoon, you just lost to Eunha. You'll never live this down."

Before Sunghoon could retort, Jay suddenly stood up. "Okay, okay, new rule! Loser has to do a dare."

The group immediately perked up at the suggestion, with everyone eagerly throwing in ideas for what the dare should be.

Sunghoon, sensing where this was going, narrowed his eyes at Jay. "I'm not doing any stupid dares."

Jay smirked, already thinking of something ridiculous. "Oh, you don't get to choose, man. That's the rule."

Sunghoon rolled his eyes, mocking him. "That's the rule, blah blah blah, yeah, I'm not doing it."
