"Oh, where have you been?" Chen asked as he saw Lay walking towards them. They are obviously still at Rayeon's house.

"Somewhere." He answered and he sat beside them, and buried his face on his knees. Suho, having the leader instincts, suddenly felt worried of him.

"Gwaenchana?" He asked Lay.

"I think so." He answered. They felt weird from his answers so Chanyeol raised his head up.

"Oh, you look red." Chanyeol said. He put the back of his palm on his forehead. "But you don't have a fever." He added.

"Don't mind me, just continue whatever you are doing." Lay answered, but he's not looking at them. He just bowed his head.

"Uh.. We're doing spin the bottle? Can we count you in?" Reiy said. Lay unconciously nodded.

"Okay then, you're in." Sehun said. They started spinning the bottle and it pointed to Baekhyun.

"Truth or dare?" Kai asked him.

"Truth." He answered.

"Okay, so... Have you already move on with Taeyeon?" Xiumin asked.

"I just recently did. Besides, I don't think there is still anything that can bring us back together." He answered and they all said "Woahh". After that, Baekhyun spinned the bottle and it pointed to Rayeon.

"Truth or dare?" Baekhyun asked her.

"Dare." She answered.

"You're kinda brave." D.O said.

"Of course." Then she winked. D.O acted like he was going to vomit after she did that, and they all just laughed.

"Dare..hmm..." Baekhyun put his hand on his chin. "I can't think of anything, help me." He said. Sehun raised his hand, "I'll do it." He nodded.

"Kiss the one you like the most here on the cheek, you cannot kiss Inspector Amber and Reiy." He said. Everyone shouted after Sehun said that. Xiumin high-fived with Sehun, and everyone showed their thumbs up.

Their shout even got louder when Rayeon stood up from squatting and slowly went to Baekhyun, Chanyeol and Chen's direction.

"Who will it be?" Inspector Hwang said. Rayeon lowered her posture and kissed Baekhyun on his cheeks fastly then after doing that, she immediately blushed (which didn't escape from D.O's eyes) and ran inside her room.

Baekhyun was left dumb-founded on the other hand. He doesn't know why his heart is thumping hard after she did that. His cheeks slowly turned red without him noticing.

"Woah, Baekhyun's blushing!" Kai said and they all teased him.

"Rayeon, come back here!" Chanyeol said. "It's okay!" He added. Inspector Hwang just looked at them and smiled. For she knows, how Rayeon loves Baekhyun even before she became a trainee. Ah, my cute cousin. She thought.

"Silheo!" (I don't want to!) They heard Rayeon shouted from her bedroom.

"C'mon! You'll be the one to give the question or dare next!" D.O said.

"Aish..." Rayeon whispered to herself, and had no other choice but to get out. She was still blushing and she was just looking at his feet.

She sat beside Reiy and spin the bottle. And it pointed to...Lay.

"Lay hyung, truth or dare?" She asked. That's when Lay's imagination stopped working, and he has no idea what was happening.

"Mwoji?" He asked.

"Truth or dare?" She repeated.

"Truth." He answered.

"Where have you been? And why are you blushing awhile ago?" She asked.

"Uh..." He was quite unsure if he should say it. "Was I?" He asked.

"Don't answer a question with a question." She said.

"Okay, chill." He said. "I've been to the park to eat the noodles I bought at the convenience store. And I think it's because I finally met the girl that was creeping into my heart lately." He answered.

"Woah, woah. Who is that girl?" Suho asked.

"My turn is over." He said.

"You're quite witty." Xiumin said. Lay just smiled and spin the bottle. After quite long spins, the bottle stopped in front of Inspector Hwang.

"Truth or dare, Inspector Amber?"

"Truth."

"Okay, Inspector Hwang." Lay said. "Have you been into relationships before? If yes, with whom why did it end?" He asked.

"You just asked a good question, hyung." Sehun said.

"Exactly." Baekhyun and Chanyeol both answered.

"Uhm... You'd feel weird if I'll tell you.." She said.

"Eh, just answer it." Chen said.

"We won't feel weird." D.O said.

"Eh, you're just saying that right now."

"Tsk, come on." Kai said.

"Okay, okay.." She said and took a deep breath. "Yes, I've been in a relationship before. And it was with..." She stopped half-way.

"You look uncool right now, eonni." Rayeon said. "Just say it." She added.

"It was with your ex-member Kris.." She said. "We broke up after he left your group because he said he'll be back to China.." Her voice broke and tears fell from her eye. "Hahaha, I told you, it will make you feel weird." She said as she wiped her tears. "Sorry for crying, by the way, hehe." She added.

It's been years since he broke up with her. She thought she moved on but after being asked that question, well, maybe she haven't moved on fully yet.

That was the first time. The first time they saw the tough police inspector being vulnerable.

A/N: Ohkay, haven't updated for about two days because my nephew got confined, and I went to the hospital to accompany him for two nights. And, there was no internet connection in the hospital (which is frightening lol). I just got home and updated then I'll be back to the hospital again.
