The Dare

The Class

I wake up to the smell of coffee, which probably means Kihyun is making breakfast for us. This is enough to pull me right out of bed for the morning! I look at my desk clock to see it's 6:30, our classes don't start until 7:45, so I can take my time. I get up and see Joshua and Jun already left the room, making their beds. I go to my dresser and pull out a white under shirt, and a pair of black skinny jeans. I throw on the jeans and take jihoons hoodie off so I can put on the under shirt. Once the hoodie is back on I put on deodorant and fix my hair before leaving the room. The moment I leave my room I hear banging on the front door, everyone freaks out and I look out the peephole to see minhyuk. He's already dressed and ready for the day, wearing a white button down shirt with a green cardigan with back stripes over it. The button down was tucked into the black trousers. He had black converse on, the whole look topped off with big black sunglasses and his black backpack.
"Who is it?" Jeonghan asks calmly, while pouring orange juice into a glass cup.
"Minnie." I reply with minhyuks nickname.
"Oh, makes since! I'm not used to him being up so early!" Jeonghan replies in laughing shock.
"Yeah me either, but I know why." I say as I unlock and open the door.
"Why?" Jeonghan asks confused.
"Jihoon." I say and jeonghans expression changes to a completely understanding face.
"Is that his name? Tell me EVERYTHING!" Minhyuk says the moment he walks in.
"Yeah yeah, breakfast first, eat!"
"Ugh, fine." He says and slumps himself on a random seat around our table.
"Here you guys go! There's more on the counter if you need it! I'm running late so I'll see you guys in math!" Kihyun says as he grabs his bag and jacket and runs out of the apartment, closing the door behind him.
"Bye!" We all yell back at him.
"Oo! French toast! Yum!" Dokyem says as he walks in. He's wearing a grey long sleeve with blue jeans and black zip-up shoes.
"Yep!" Jeonghan says as he takes a drink before turning to him. "Am I the only one not already ready to go?" He says laughing.
"Sure, But Joshua and jun still haven't shown up so..." I say. He's wearing an oversized white shirt with black and red pj pants.
"Right, I forgot."
"About your own boyfriend! Wow" Dokyem says sarcastically.
"No... shut up.."
"Well speaking of boyfriends... cheolie? Anything you wanna tell me?" Minhyuk changes the subject.
"Or us for that matter?" Jeonghan remarks.
"Nah, not that I want to tell you." I say sarcastically.
"Cmon! We wanna know!" Dokyem hits the table as he talks.
"Ugh, fine." I give in and tell him everything that happened. I tell them everything and they all think I should move the relationship forward.
"I don't know, I don't think I'm even gonna text him back. I don't think he cares that much anyway."
"Are you kidding?! Did you even see him yesterday! He likes you! Text him! Now!" Jeonghan yells at me.
"I dont know..." I say but before I can do anything he pulls my phone away from me, I knew I should've put it in my pocket...
"Hey, Jihoon!" He starts reading out what he's typing. I let him text Jihoon for me because, deep down, I really want to see him again. I really like him. I'm just not sure he feels the same. No matter how much they have to convince me.
"Ok sent! Here you go!" He hands me back my phone.
Hey Jihoon, do you wanna go do something later today or tomorrow? I really enjoyed our time! ♥️
"Sure, sounds good I guess." I say putting the phone in my pocket. We finish eating breakfast and part ways for class.
"Wait for me! I'm gonna get ready really quick! Don't leave without me please!" Jeonghan yells from his room as we start walking out. We stop mid step and prepare to be late for class as usual.
"Hurry up! Before we're late!" Jun yells back.
"Okay fine!" He says as he runs out of his room with his short brown hair messy, wearing a grey long sleeve over a red and black flannel, paired with light blue ripped jeans, with white high top vans.
"Okay hurry up brush your hair..." I say.
"Okay, hey can we pick something up from Yuhengga?" He says as he brushes out his hair.
"Like what?"
"Coffee obviously! Or tea if not coffee..."
"Sure, just know we're gonna be late to History."
"Yay!" He yells as he runs out the door. We shortly follow him and make our way to Yuhengga. We walk out the building and down the street until we read the cafe.
"Good morning! How are you?" The blonde lady at the register welcomes us and takes our orders. We get our drinks and make our way to class. Of course I'm the one stuck paying, 17.70$... great, lucky I love these guys. I chuckle to myself and walk out catching up to everyone else. We walk into History and the teacher shoots us a glare but soon enough brushes it off and continues his stories. The class continues for some time before the door opens and one of the schools staff walks in followed by a short guy in a hoodie. I continue taking notes until I hear gasps from Jun Dokyem and Jeonghan. I choose to ignore it until they start aggressively kicking my seat.
"What?!" I whisper yell. I get no response other than them pointing to the guy who just walked in. I turn to see him talking to the professor. Wearing a white shirt with a black design, with a maroon cardigan over it with ripped blue jeans and white converse. The familiar maroon haired boy turns around so I can see his face. We lock eye contact before Jeonghan gets up from the seat next to me and sits next to jun.
"You can go ahead and sit next to Seungcheol, he should help you with anything!" The professor says making me blush a deep red, so does the boy, blushing as he makes his way to the seat next to me.
"Hey."
"Hi... I-uh-i didn't know you went here..."
"Neither did I until yesterday I guess..."
"Oh?"
"Long story... do you have a pencil...and a notebook?" He asks pulling up his sleeves cutely.
"Yeah here, I always bring extra..." I say digging in my bag to get the notebook and pencil.
"Thanks!" He chuckles, the cuteness making me loose focus as I hand him the materials.
"Yeah of course!"
"Sorry about not replying this morning, by the way..."
"What? Oh! Oh yeah don't worry about it, I wasn't even the one who sent the message. Thank jeonghan for that." I say gesturing behind me.
"Yeah, I just got busy. And I figured you weren't really interested in me anyway." I just stay silent at his words. After that we stay quiet with a few questions in between our 2 hour class. The bells rings and we pack our stuff.
"Do you have anything next? I can walk you!" I offer.
"Oh, no this is my only class for now!"
"Okay cool! I don't have anything next either, but these two always make me wait around for them instead of going home so we can get lunch."
"Oh nice! Sound fun!"
"It is! Once their class is over."
"Do you wanna do something? I know some guys at this bowling alley down the street!"
"Bowling! I don't know I'm not too good at it!" I chuckle.
"Cmon! I can teach you! It'll be fun!"
"Okay, Yeah sure why not!" I give in and we walk to the bowling alley.
"Hey! Who's this?" We're immediately greeted by a brown haired guy wearing a green work uniform for the bowling alley. The shirt has an X design with "Newton's" under it.
"Hey Changkyun! This is Seungcheol, the guy I met at the bar the other day."
"Oh! Seungcheol! Yeah Jihoon told me a lot about you!" Changkyun says, earning a kick from the shorter one. "OWCH!"
"Can you get us set up! We have about an hour and a half to kill."
"Yeah Yeah sure, pick you're area we'll bring stuff to you." He says rubbing his leg. We make our way not too far from the work center to be able to still chat with him.
"Okay! See ya Changkyun! Joohoney should be here in a minute but I need to go!"
"Okay! Bye Xumin!"
"Joohoney?" I ask clueless.
"He's our friend and co-worker! Here's the menu!" A younger looking black haired boy comes out from behind on roller skates.
"Oh, thanks..."
"Yep! Im Dino! But you can call me Chan!" He says cheerfully.
"Thanks, chan! Um.."
"We dont need menus! Just the usual!"
"Okay!" He says taking back the menus and skating back into the back room. Soon enough he brings out a couple drinks for us.
"Here ya go! And side note, he may look super squishy and adorable but he's evil! Just a warning!" He says and skates away before Jihoon can catch him.
"Don't listen to him..." he says taking a drink of his drink.
"Okay." I chuckle.
"Color preference?"
"Nah, but thanks wonwoo!"
"Yeah no problem! And you must be the Seungcheol I heard about! Nice to meet you!" He says shaking my hand.
"Yeah, nice to meet you!"
"Okay, well you two have fun, ima get out of here before he attacks me too." He says walking away laughing. We begin out bowling match and chat off and on with Changkyun, who I learned likes going by IM and the waiter, Chan and the other employee Wonwoo. Once I see Jooheon show up, I didn't see much of either him or IM. We finish the match with 5 minutes to spare.
"Good game! You're better than I thought! Actually gave me some competition!" Jihoon says.
"Yeah I guess!" I chuckle
"Now what are you guys gonna do?" Chan asks as he's slumped in a chair next to ours.
"Just go get lunch."
"Nice! Sounds fun! Can I go! My shift is over in 5 minutes!"
"Um, sure! Yeah why not! I'm sure jeonghan would like some new company!"
"Yeah sure!"
"YES! Thanks! I'll be right back!" He says as he skates into the back room to change. Once he walks out we start walking back to the college. We wait outside the classroom for jeonghan jun and Dokyem before picking up Joshua and Kihyun from their classes.
"Hey, who's this?" Jun says when he walks out of the room.
"Hey, this is Chan! He's a friend of Jihoons."
"Nice to meet you Chan!" Dokyem greets him.
"Yeah nice to meet you! Glad to see cheolies making more friends!" Jeonghan says playfully pushing my shoulder.
"Yeah, so...food?"
"Yeah, about that! Minhyuk and the others said they'll meet us at Lava Java!"
"But-"
"Awesome! Let's go then!"
"But-"
"Who all is there?"
"Everyone I'm guessing!"
"But I cant legally drink yet!" Chan interrupts mine and Juns conversation.
"Oh don't worry about that! We're going to the restaurant part for lunch! We do that most days!" Dokyem clears the air for the worried Chan.
"Oh, okay! Sounds fun then!" He jumps back up immediately.
"Haha yep!" I laugh, and we continue talking as we make our way to Lava Java. We walk in and see all our friends waiting at a long table.
"Hey! We brought a couple guests! This is Chan and you guys mostly already know Jihoon!" I say as we sit down, Jihoon taking a seat next to me. After a while of talking and eating Jeonghan kicks me under the table abruptly. I glare at him not saying anything to not distract everyone from the conversation. He signals for me to follow him to the bathrooms.
"Hey I'm gonna be right back okay! Just going to the bathroom." I whisper in Jihoons ear before making my way to the bathrooms. The moment the door closes Jeonghan starts talking, slowly walking towards me.
"It's been too long seungcheol." He says with his eyes full of pure lust.
"Look we've been over this, we're done! You have Joshua! And I ha—"
"No, I mean yes I have him, but I've been wanting you since I seen you with Jihoon last night..."
"Jeonghan no, don't do this! This is just gonna turn into a mess, and you know it!"
"So?"
"So?! Jeonghan— never mind, I'm leaving..." I start to walk back out of the bathroom before he pulls me into him and backs me into the wall.
"No, not again. I'll have you this time seungcheol... please..." He says. He stays silent for a few seconds before the lust returns to his eyes and he begins kissing me roughly. I attempt to push him off me but it just makes him go closer. Then I hear the bathroom door close. I realize we were both to distracted by each other to see or hear anything before the bathroom door was slammed shut behind someone. Immediately I think of Jihoon and use all of my energy to throw Jeonghan off of me. He hits the opposite wall lightly and I run out of the bathroom. In the corner of my eye I see Jihoon running out of the restaurant, Chan stand up looks and me and runs after him. Everyone falls silent as Jeonghan walks out behind me.
"Stronger than I thought you were." He whispers in my ear. I tear up and run after Jihoon as fast as I can, screaming for him to slow down.
"He clearly doesn't want anything to do with you!" Chan shouts back, making me stop completely and fall to my knees. Tears falling into the concrete.
