        Seungmin smirked at your choice of game, knowing that it was bound to be interesting. He leaned back against the couch, resting one arm on the backrest.
"Never have I ever, huh? Sounds fun. Let's do it." He says. "You have alcohol? We need it for this." I inquire. Seungmin chuckled and nodded, standing up from the couch. "Yeah, I have some alcohol. I'll go grab it. Be right back." He said before disappearing into the kitchen to retrieve the alcohol. "Awesome." I responded. Seungmin returned a few moments later with a bottle of soju and two glasses. He set the bottle down on the coffee table and poured some into each glass, handing one to you. "Here you go." He says. "Awesome! So we ask each other a question and if we did the thing we take a drink if we didn't do it we don't. Understand?" Seungmin nodded, taking a sip of his soju as he listened to your explanation. He was already feeling a bit flustered, but he was more than willing to play this game with you. "I understand. Sounds easy enough." He responds. "You go first." I say. Seungmin thought for a moment, a mischievous glint in his eyes. He smirked and leaned closer to you, his voice dropping to a low, playful tone. "Hmmm... Never have I ever had a crush on someone who didn't like me back." He said, taking another sip of his soju as he watched your reaction. I took a drink too, Seungmin's smirk returned as he watched you take a drink. He couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction knowing that you had experience with unrequited feelings. He had no idea who the person you were pining over was though. "Oooh, look at that. We're both losers in the love department." He teases. "You know it min." I respond playfully. "My turn. Never have I ever had a one night stand?" Seungmin chuckled and took a long sip of his soju, not even bothering to deny it. He had definitely had his fair share of one night stands in the past, and he wasn't ashamed to admit it. "Oh damn minnie! Was she hot?" Seungmin chuckled again, a sly smile spreading across his face as he leaned back against the couch. "Oh, she was more than just hot. She was absolutely gorgeous." He said looking directly at me. I smile even though that made me incredibly jealous but i didn't want him to know, little did I know that was his intentions. He takes his turn again and I tried to force myself to focus on his question and not think about what he said before. Before I knew it I had mindlessly answered his and it was back to me. "Nia?" He said waving his hand in front of my face. "Huh?" I ask being pulled out of my thoughts. "You're turn Nee." He says looking at me skeptically. "My turn?" I look at him thinking. "Never have I ever done something illegal?" Seungmin laughed and shook his head, feeling a little more buzzed than before. "I'm afraid I can't drink to that one. I've never done anything illegal. I'm too much of a good boy." He said, giving you a cheeky grin. "I find that hard time believing that but alright." I joke feeling a little buzzed myself. Seungmin raised an eyebrow at your comment, amused by your disbelief. "Oh really? And what exactly do you think l've done that's illegal?" He asked, taking another sip of his soju as he leaned closer to you. "You know the usual mischief as a teenager." I say casually. Seungmin chuckled and rolled his eyes, feigning innocence once again. "I have no idea what you're talking about. I was a perfect angel as a teenager. Never broke any rules or laws." He said, clearly enjoying the banter between you two. "Mm sure, must be why you're such a menace nowadays. Your turn min." I say teasingly. Seungmin pretended to think for a moment, a sly glint in his eyes as he came up with another question.
"Never have I ever... thought about kissing my best friend." Seungmin's heart skipped a beat as he watched you drink. He hadn't expected you to actually drink, and he felt a mix of surprise and excitement wash over him. He quickly schooled his expression, trying to hide the fact that he was internally freaking out
"Really? You've thought about kissing your best friend?" He asked, trying to sound casual but failing miserably. "Yeah, you never specified with one though." I tease. Seungmin felt a shiver run down his spine as you teased him. He couldn't help but imagine what it would be like to kiss you, and the thought was making it hard for him to focus. "Oh, is that right? I guess I didn't." He said, his voice a little shaky. He took another sip of his soju, trying to calm his racing heart. "My turn." i say in a silly way becoming way more buzzed. "Never have I ever had an awkward hook up I regret?" Seungmin chuckled, feeling the effects of the alcohol starting to kick in as well. He shook his head and took a drink, wincing slightly at the memory of his worst hookup. "Ugh, yeah. I've had one of those. It was terrible." I drink as well. Seungmin looked at you in surprise as you drank, not expecting you to have had a bad hookup either. "Damn, we're both full of surprises tonight, aren't we?" He said, a smirk on his face as he moved closer to you, your legs now touching. I giggle "your turn." Seungmin's smirk widened as he heard you giggle, the sound making his heart flutter. He loved the way you were acting right now, all carefree and giggly from the alcohol. He was feeling pretty buzzed himself, and his inhibitions were slowly slipping away. "Never have I ever...fantasized about my best friend." He said, his voice dropping to a sultry whisper as he leaned in even closer to you. I have three best friends so admitting that wouldn't necessarily give it away, so I took a drink. Seungmin watched intently as you took another drink, his mind reeling with the thought of you possibly fantasizing about him. He couldn't help but wonder if he was the one you were fantasizing about. "Damn, you're really drinking a lot tonight, huh?" I giggle before taking my turn. "Never have I ever lied to my best friend?" Seungmin felt a pang of guilt as you asked that question. He had been lying to you for years about his feelings for you, and he couldn't help but feel a bit guilty now. He took a deep breath and downed the rest of his soju before answering. "Yeah... l've lied to my best friend before." I look at him for a moment hoping he would say it was someone else. "Me?" I ask when he doesn't elaborate. Seungmin nodded, avoiding your gaze as he fidgeted with his now empty glass."Yeah, you." He said, his voice barely above a whisper. He couldn't believe he was actually admitting this to you, but the alcohol was making him more honest than he would be normally. I make a pouty face but then my phone rings and I answer it walking into the kitchen, it was lee know "Hey its late are you okay?" Seungmin watched as you answered your phone and walked into the kitchen, a mix of emotions swirling inside him. He was a little annoyed that you had to answer a phone call right now, but also curious about who it was. I talked to him for a bit trying to figure out whats going on. Seungmin couldn't help but listen in on your conversation with Lee Know, his curiosity getting the better of him. He strained his ears, trying to make out what Lee Know was saying on the other end of the line. I talk to him for 10 minutes before I hang up and come back to the living room. As you returned to the living room, Seungmin quickly composed himself and tried to act nonchalant. He sat back on the couch, trying to ignore the pang of jealousy he felt at the thought of you talking to Lee Know for so long. lee know was also my best friend so of course I'd answer. "Sorry min." Seungmin forced a smile on his face, trying to hide his disappointment. "It's fine. You don't have to apologize. I just didn't expect you to be on the phone for that long." He said. "I know me either, sorry he was having a meltdown though." I say. Seungmin's expression softened a bit at your explanation. "A meltdown? Is he okay?" He asked, genuine concern in his voice despite his jealousy. "Yeah he couldn't find his cat, before I hung up though fortunately Han walked into his dorm with the cat, He said he found him outside." Seungmin chuckled, relieved that Lee Know was okay. "Of course Han found the cat. He's always the one who can find things, isn't he?" He says. "Yeahh." I respond back remembering all the times Hans helped me find things when I was panicked. Seungmin smirked and patted the seat next to him, indicating for you to sit down. "Come here, let's get back to the game." "Okay sorry." Seungmin couldn't help but roll his eyes playfully as you apologized again. "Stop apologizing, will you? It's fine. Now, your turn." "Okay. Never have I ever been a pervert?" I ask while refilling our cups. Seungmin's eyes widened in surprise as you asked the question. He couldn't help but let out a chuckle as he watched you refill his cup "A pervert, huh? That's quite a specific question." He said, taking a sip of the freshly poured soju. "Really?" I ask. Seungmin shrugged, a smirk playing on his lips. "I'm just saying, it's not exactly a normal thing to ask someone. But I'll humor you. No, I have never been a pervert." "Huh? Sure." I tease. Seungmin raised an eyebrow at your doubtful tone, a playful glint in his eyes. "Oh, you don't believe me? You think I'm lying?" He asks. "I think you hang out with lee know a lot is all." I respond back. Seungmin chuckled at your comment, unable to argue with your logic. "Okay, okay, you have a point. Lee Know is definitely a perv. But just because I hang out with him doesn't mean l'm a perv too." He says. "I hang out with him a lot too. Am I a pervert?" I ask genuinely the alcohol making me wonder. Seungmin pretended to think for a moment, a smirk on his face. "Hmm... I don't know. Are you?" He says. "I could be. Who would ever know?" I joke. "Your turn minnie." I say in a silly way being more intoxicated at this point. Seungmin couldn't help but smile at the nickname, his heart skipping a beat at the sound of it coming from your lips. He tried to play it cool, taking another sip of his soju before responding. "Never have I ever... wanted to kiss my best friend." I take a drink. "Which one do you think?" I ask like it was nothing. Seungmin watched intently as you took a drink, trying to decipher which one of your three best friends you were thinking of. "Hmm, l'm not sure. Let me guess... Lee Know?" He says. "Ive kissed him a bunch....." I drunkly admitted. Seungmin's eyes widened in shock at your drunken confession. He couldn't believe that you had just admitted to kissing Lee Know, and a lot too. "You... You've kissed him a bunch? Like, how many times are we talking here?" "Four." I say casually. Seungmin felt a pang of jealousy at the thought of you kissing Lee Know even once, let alone 4 times. He tried to hide his jealousy, but his voice came out a bit strained as he spoke. "Only 4 times? I was expecting more than that." He retorts. "What, why?" I ask confused. Seungmin shrugged, trying to act nonchalant again. But the alcohol was making it harder for him to control his emotions.
"I just figured with the way you two are around each other, I would've thought you've kissed him more than just 4 times." He says. "Do you think I have feelings for him?" I ask a little surprised. Seungmin couldn't help but scoff at your question, a hint of bitterness in his voice. "Well, you're the one who just admitted to kissing him 4 times. What am I supposed to think?" "Haha no minnie! I definitely don't." I try to reassure. Seungmin looked at you, searching your eyes for any signs of dishonesty. He didn't want to believe that you had feelings for Lee Know, but he also didn't want to get his hopes up if it wasn't true. "You're serious? You don't have feelings for him?" He asks. "No. Yes he is very important to me but that's because hes one of my best friends. But I only kissed him because I wanted to know if I did have feelings." I explain. Seungmin let out a sigh of relief, feeling a weight lifted off his shoulders. He was secretly glad that you didn't have feelings for Lee Know, but he tried to play it cool. "Oh... So you kissed him just to see if you had feelings, huh? And what was the verdict?" He asks. "Obviously it was a no." I say with a look of disgust and laughter. Seungmin nodded, trying to ignore the way his heart skipped a beat at your response. He couldn't help but feel a flicker of hope that maybe, just maybe, there was a chance for him with you. "I see... So you don't have any romantic feelings for him at all. That's good to know." He says casually. I don't think much about his response and move on. "It's your turn sweetheart." I say. Seungmin felt his cheeks flush slightly at the nickname. He wasn't used to you calling him sweet names, and it caught him off guard. He took a moment to compose himself before responding. "Alright, Hmm...Never have I ever... been in a relationship." I drink. Seungmin watched as you drank, his eyes widening in surprise once again. He had expected you to not drink since you've been single for as long as he's known you. "You've been in a relationship before? When was this?" He asks genuinely curious. Thinking it couldn't have been after debut because it's hard for idols to have relationships. "When I was 16." I answer honestly. Seungmin's eyebrows shot up at your answer. He couldn't believe that you had been in a relationship that long ago. "Wow, that was a long time ago. Why did you guys break up?" He asks curiously. "He sucked" I say bluntly. Seungmin chuckled at your blunt response. He had always appreciated your honesty, even if it was sometimes harsh. "Harsh, but fair. He really must've been terrible if you only dated him for a few months." He said. "Yeah because I was 17 when I met you guys." I add. Seungmin smiled at the memory. He remembered the first time he met you vividly. You had immediately caught his eye and became one of his closest friends. He was glad that you had met him and the others. "With how sweet you guys were to me l realized I deserved better even if it was just a platonic friendship." I say the alcohol making me too honest. Seungmin's heart swelled with pride as you said that. He was happy that he and the others were able to be there for you and make you feel valued and appreciated. But he couldn't help but wonder if you still felt that way about him specifically. "My turn?" I ask. Seungmin nodded, eager to hear your next question. He was curious about what you were going to ask him next, his mind still racing with thoughts about you and your relationship with Lee Know. "Never have I ever been kinky in the bedroom?" Seungmin felt his cheeks flush even more at your question. He wasn't expecting you to ask something so... explicit. He took a moment to compose himself before answering, trying to keep his voice steady. "I... I have." He says. "Oh really huh?" I say kind of shocked. Seungmin couldn't help but smirk at your response. He could tell that you were intrigued, and he was enjoying teasing you a bit. "Yes, really. Why do you sound so surprised?"He says. "Part of me thought maybe just maybe you were still a virgin." I know I had asked questions like that before but I thought maybe he was just saying yes to get a rise out of me but now it's confirmed. Seungmin let out a surprised laugh at your assumption. He shook his head, still smirking. "No, l'm definitely not a virgin. What made you think that?" He asks. "I've never see you with girls but I'm also not with you 24/7." I say. Seungmin chuckled again, understanding your reasoning. "True, you don't see me 24/7. But just because you haven't seen me with girls doesn't mean I'm a virgin. I have a life outside of our friendship, you know." He said playfully. "Awe man!" I also play around. Seungmin raised an eyebrow, amused by your response. "Awe? Why the disappointment?
Were you secretly hoping I was a virgin?" He asks a smirk on his face. "I don't know. I'm just realizing I'm not the center of your world." I joke playfully. Seungmin rolled his eyes playfully at your joke. He couldn't help but find your reaction adorable, even if it was just a joke. "Oh please, you know you're the most important person in my life. No one else can compete with you, sweetheart." He says smiling. I don't think much of his response I knew I was his closest friend. "It's your turn minnie." I say. Seungmin chuckled at your nonchalant response. He wasn't sure if you were being serious or just messing with him, but he continued on with the game anyway. "Alright, alright. Let me think..." He paused for a moment, his mind racing as he tried to come up with a question to ask you. I refilled our cups while he was thinking. Seungmin watched as you refilled the cups, his eyes following your every movement. He couldn't help but admire the way you moved, how graceful and confident you were in everything you did. He quickly snapped out of his thoughts and cleared his throat. "Okay, I've got a question for you." He said with a serious look on his face. "I'm listening." I say looking up at him. Seungmin took a deep breath, mentally preparing himself for your answer. He looked directly at you, his eyes locking with yours as he asked his question
"If you had to choose between staying with me or going on a date with someone else, who would you choose?" He asks. My heart picks up, this was a different kind of question not like before. I look at him thinking about it, he was so familiar and good to me and meeting new people scares me. "you." I say softly almost in a whisper. Seungmin's heart skipped a beat at your response. He hadn't expected you to choose him, especially not in such a sincere and soft tone. He felt a wave of relief wash over him, but also a pang of guilt for feeling that way. "R-really?" He asked, his voice almost trembling as he tried to process your answer.
