The following days were filled with a mix of excitement and anxiety for Taesan and Leehan. While their connection had grown deeper, the fear of being discovered loomed over them like a dark cloud. They exchanged teasing glances and secret smiles, but there was always the nagging worry of what would happen if their relationship was exposed.

One evening, the group decided to have a game night at the dorm. Sungho had set up an array of snacks, and the energy was light and playful as they settled in for a night of fun. Taesan and Leehan sat together, their knees brushing, the electricity between them palpable.

"Alright, let's play a game of 'Never Have I Ever'!" Jaehyun announced, grinning. "This should be interesting."

Leehan's stomach churned with a mix of excitement and dread. The game had a tendency to lead to secrets being revealed, and he couldn't shake the feeling that their relationship might come to light in the process.

As the game began, they took turns sharing stories and laughing, the mood becoming increasingly relaxed. Taesan was on fire, effortlessly charming everyone with his wit and humor, but Leehan could feel the tension building within him.

"Okay, my turn!" Sungho said, raising his hand. "Never have I ever kissed someone in this room!"

Leehan's heart raced as he watched everyone take a sip from their drinks, knowing he and Taesan were both silently panicking at the implications of that question. Taesan, sitting beside him, glanced at Leehan with a teasing smirk, clearly enjoying the moment.

Leehan shot him a warning look, but Taesan just winked back, unfazed. "Well, I guess we're just boring," he joked, taking a sip and throwing Leehan off balance.

"But you kissed right infront of us" Woonhak chimed.

"It was a dare"Taesan quickly covered it up.

The game continued, and the dares grew bolder, each round revealing a little more about their group members. When it was Jaehyun's turn again, he leaned back, eyes sparkling with mischief. "Okay, I dare you all to share your biggest secret! The juicier, the better!"

The group erupted into laughter and playful protests, but Jaehyunn was persistent. "Come on! We're all friends here. It's just a game!"

Feeling the heat of anticipation, Leehan glanced at Taesan, who was considering the dare with a serious expression. "I'll go first,"  said confidently. "My biggest secret? I once wrote a love song for someone... but I never told them."

Everyone gasped, and the mood shifted as they pressed him for more details. "Who is it? Spill!" Sungho teased, but Jaehyun only smiled cryptically.

With the spotlight on him, Taesan raised an eyebrow, turning to Leehan. "Alright, let's see what you've got," he said, his tone playful. "Biggest secret?"

Leehan felt a wave of nerves wash over him. He had to think fast. "Um... I once thought about dyeing my hair purple, but I chickened out!" He laughed, trying to keep the mood light, but he could feel the weight of the truth lingering just beneath the surface.

"Pshh, that's not a secret," Woonhak said, rolling his eyes. "I thought you'd have something better, Leehan."

Taesan leaned in closer, brushing their shoulders together. "Come on, we know you have something good hiding in there," he whispered, his breath tickling Leehan's ear.

Just as Leehan was about to reply, a new voice cut through the laughter. "How about we up the ante? Let's play 'Truth or Dare' next!" Woonhak suggested, clearly excited by the prospect.

"AGAIN??"Leehan shouted worried.

"Yea ....It's fun you know" Woonhak replied Obviously plotting something.
