"two truths and a lie: i want my stage name to be 'Q' if i ever debut, i don't have a crush on anyone right now, and i don't like the movie IT."

changmin leaned back as he watches his friends guess which among the three things he just said is the lie. he's confident that he is gonna win this game, afterall he's 100% sure that his friends will pick the third option. everyone knows changmin is a horror-movie addict, him not liking IT is totally a lie.

"i think it's the third one." chanhee muttered and changmin smirked. "that movie is scary as shit, it's probably one of your favorites."

kevin hummed. "how about the first one? i think it's a lie. Q will be an ugly stage name."

changmin winced. ouch, that hurts. the truth is, if ever he debuted, he wants his stage name to be Q. which means the first option is the truth. the third one is also true. just because IT is a horror movie doesn't mean changmin is obligated to like it. he still has preferences.

which leaves us the last option - the second one. it's a lie. changmin has a crush on someone, but no one will doubt it because changmin hardly has crushes on "reachable" people. he falls in love with celebrities and fictional characters only. everyone knows that, so no one will definitely pick the second option.

"i don't know," eric butted in. "it's probably the second one. changmin doesn't run out of crushes."

"i don't!"

"oh right, and he didn't specifically said that he doesn't have a crush on a Reachable. it's the second one."

changmin gulped at the sudden turn of events. "what i meant is i don't have a crush on a Reachable right now. i forgot to say that part."

"too late, min." chanhee leaned back on his seat, crossing his arms. "your second option is a lie, right?"

changmin sighed and reluctantly nodded. he heard his friends cheer. he winced. "alright, who's next?"

"me!" eric raised his hand. "okay, so two truths and-"

"wait, wait, wait!" sunwoo butted in. "i think we need to ask changmin-hyung a question."

changmin raised a brow. "about?"

"if 'i don't have a crush on anyone' is a lie..." the redhead trailed off. he looked at changmin teasingly. "then that means you have a crush on a non-celebrity right now!"

gasps and murmurs were exchanged throughout the table as changmin sank on his seat, almost turning pale. oh shit, he didn't think this through. no one was supposed to know that he has a crush on someone right now. why did he had to include it in his two truths and a lie?!

"who is it, changmin?" chanhee excitedly asks. "do we know him?"

"how do you know it's a 'him'?" kevin asks the pink-haired boy. "it might be a 'her'."

chanhee scoffed. "puh-lease. everyone in this table is gay. no one is straight."

"you have a point." kevin nodded.
