"let's play truth or dare!"
after they've collected their materials, a fire was lit in the middle as people sat around in a circle for the fun yet deadly game.
"i'll start!" joy said before pointing at seokmin with a smirk. "truth or dare?"
"truth," seokmin replied with zero hesitation. he would never want to embarrass himself in front of so many girls, especially when irene is also here.
"do you like someone? is she here with us?" joy asked as everyone cooed with seokmin's cheeks turned red.
"yes, she's here," seokmin confessed courageously.
"so who is it?" joy squinted her eyes and wiggles her eyebrows up and down at him.
"no! you asked too late, next!" seokmin escaped the question safely, but everyone one knew who the 'special her' is.
seokmin scanned around the circle and yeri had her fingers crossed whenever his eyes landed on her, praying that she wouldn't get picked.
"kwon soonyoung, truth or dare?"
"truth," he said lazily and chewed on the roasted marshmellow.
"do you like someone? Is she here?" seokmin smirked.
soonyoung almost spat his marshmellow out of his mouth, but choked on it instead, "what the fuck?"
"well?" seungkwan asked, showing total innocence on his face when he definitely knew the answer already.
soonyoung looked over to yeri first, then to seulgi before sighing loudly, "yes and she's here within the circle."
"good job, you finally have the guts to say it," seokmin gave soonyoung, who was next to him a pat on the shoulder. "okay, your turn."
soonyoung didn't even bother scanning around the circle, his eyes straight away landed on yeri's. "yeri, truth or dare?"
"t-truth," she replied. she thought that since that question has already been ask twice, they wouldn't ask her again right? however, she was wrong.;
"so yeri, do you like someone? is he here?" all eyes fixed on her, making her uncomfortable.
yeri looked over to seungkwan, he grinned with a thumbs up and mouthed 'don't worry' like what he always did whenever she looked at him with a panicked expression.
she thought about the times when he throws his reputation away just to get close to her, when he got mad at whoever brings her down, when he did everything he could to protect her and make her happy. the quality of love he gave her was beyond any sort of love anyone had ever given her.
and she didn't want it to stop.
she closed hey eyes and took a deep breath, everyone was extremely silent that only the crackling of the flame could be heard.
"yes i do,"she said, she could feel seulgi's hand on her shoulder for encouragement. "he's here."
as she said that, her gaze held onto his and he looked back. all he could do was smile. finally, the kim yeri he had liked till now has finally acknowledged his effort.

"so seungkwan is the guy you were talking about?" seulgi asked her the second she got out of the shower, putting her off guard.
her first reaction was to laugh it off and change the subject straight away. "by the way, i loved the roasted marshmallows, did you like them?"
"yeah, they were great!" just when yeri thought she escaped the question, the clever seulgi still found a way to bring seungkwan back up. "seungkwan bought them, he sure knows what you like!"
yeri smiled in defeat and embarrassment before climbing up the stairs and jumped on the bed, hitting her head on the ceiling on the way again as seulgi laughed and shook her head.
"anyway, do you know wendy?" seulgi asked.
"yeah, why?" yeri replied, frowning at the name 'wendy'.
"has she said anything to you?"
"no... not yet. what will she say to me?" yeri asked. "why is everyone telling me to be careful of her? are we not supposed to be friends?" she blunt out many unanswered questions that has been in her mind since forever.
"i can't answer any of your questions, but i know that it'll hurt. just be prepared of whatever she's going to tell you," seulgi said in a heavy tone.
before yeri could open her mouth, seulgi continued. "and no matter what, please don't leave seungkwan."
