"woah!" seokmin gasped as he watched seungcheol from his phone. "did you guys see that? he drove on top of a moving train and jumped off! just how crazy is this guy?"

"yah! seokmin!" soonyoung playfully scolded, "stop watching seungcheol's vids, our viewers just told us a new dare."

"a new one? already?" seokmin asked, putting his phone down to play nerve on soonyoung's phone instead.

"what does it say hyung?" seungkwan asked, joining his two hyungs.

soonyoung read the dare with a shit eating grin on his face. "it simply says 'kiss a guy'."

"ooh!"

seungkwan laughed, "what? the three of us?"

soonyoung shook his head in a slow teasing manner, "no kwannie," his eyes had something that sparkled the word 'mischevious' in them. seungkwan has a bad feeling about this. "just you."

seokmin went, "ooooohh!"

while seungkwan went, "what?! why me??"

"i don't know kwannie. our viewers just seem to like you." soonyoung answered.

"but why must they torture me? why am i always the one who gets to have solo dares like this? we're a trio for a reason people!" seungkwan snapped, while soonyoung and seokmin can't help but laugh at his blabbering.

"do you want the money or not?" soonyoung joked. though the three of them knows it means more than just a joke. in fact it was the truth. they want the money. they need the money. that's the reason why they joined nerve in the first place. they need some sort of income to survive.

seungkwan sighed, "how much is it?"

"a thousand dollars."

'a thousand dollars isn't so bad, plus it's just a kiss. its not like i have to fuck the guy.' seungkwan thought to himself. he heaved one last sigh before looking directly at the camera.

"y'all better pay." he said to the audience, before going off to find a guy that seems interested. soonyoung and seokmin cheered him from behind.

soonyoung couldn't help but feel a tinge of worries to the youngest of their trio. they had been playing nerve for eight months. mostly they just do weird dares. they don't do the life risking ones. though they do sometimes get a solo dare, and that's when soonyoung feels the most worried at. he rather do it as a trio and not alone, because after all, that's what they are, a trio, but they need to follow the rules. they need to comply to their viewers.

"he'll be alright." seokmin reassured. soonyoung turned to him in shock, it's almost like seokmin can hear soonyoung's thoughts. "believe in the guy."

"i do believe in him, but i'm worried seoks."

"so am i, but we'll watch over him won't we? that's what we do right?" seokmin smiled. "believe in the guy, and trust in us. he can do it."

soonyoung smiled back. what seokmin was trying to say is that they got each other's back. ever since day one. the three of them was left in an orphanage when they were young, and from that on onwards, it had always been them and just the three of them alone.

"yeah. i guess he can.." soonyoung reluctantly agreed. seokmin has this weird ability to be the most extra in their group but most reliable when needed. soonyoung felt somehow at ease.

"thank you seokmin."

seungkwan on the other hand was so nervous that he feels like he's gonna wet himself. he has this oozing with confidence exterior, but on the inside, he knew deep in his self that he's soft, vulnerable and conscious.

he subtly filmed himself with his phone so that their viewers can see him. of course he didn't let them see what he's actually feeling. he acted bold and mature in front of their viewers, but in reality, he's still a child.

'it's just a kiss,' seungkwan reminded himself, 'you'll get over it.'

'but what kind of kiss though?' he resumed in his head, 'a peck? a kiss on the cheek? a french kiss?'

he felt nervous again, thinking about a thousand scenarios that could go wrong in his head. he squeezed through the crowd. the blaring sound of music ringing in his ears. people's sweaty bodies were bumping onto him. seungkwan couldn't find anyone that he's willing to kiss, until...

a handsome stranger, with a dark brown mop of hair on top of his head. his eyes has the color of chesnuts. his lips were thin, a bit pink, and has slight crinkles on them.

the stranger approached seungkwan. seungkwan doesn't know what the stranger was feeling, but seungkwan was sure that the stranger is giving him uneasy vibes.

'why is he approaching me? what does he want?'

alas, the two of them are face to faced. seungkwan felt smaller and smaller each second. he admits that this stranger is good looking. he could be a model or something, but at the same time he looks intimidating.

"i don't know about you," the stranger started, startling seungkwan a bit, "but i think you look like someone i want to kiss."

seungkwan's eyes widen and blushed at the unexpected comment. the stranger seems to be surprised to, for his eyes widen as well.

"w-what?" both of them stammered.

seungkwan watched as the intimidating facade that this stranger was giving off slowly melt off and turn into something else. the stranger's cool expression quickly changed.

"i-i that's not what i meant," the stranger exclamied.

seungkwan then felt comfortable with the stranger.

"i mean, if that's what you want then..." seungkwan was allowing him access.

the stranger blushed even more, "well, if i can then..."

they both leaned in, meeting in the middle. lips against lips. it was a quick, with no use of tongue whatsoever. they kissed. seungkwan smiled. the watchers saw everything, the comment section was firing up.

"well that was unexpected."
