Uno

"Oh my gosh what do you think you're doing?" Jaehyun asked Haechan, Hendery and YangYang, the three of them clearly just sitting there.

"Planning how to get Hendery to Somalia so he can join the pirates there." YangYang answered, closing the notebook he had in his lap and sticking it under his bed.

"That can wait. We're playing Uno."

Jaehyun took a deck of Uno cards out from his back pocket and started shuffling them. Haechan scoffed, not moving from YangYang's bed even though Hendery and YangYang were already getting situated on the floor to play.

"I don't remember you asking."

"I didn't. We're playing Uno."

Jaehyun started dealing out the cards, YangYang patting the spot next to him for Haechan to sit. He rolled his eyes and sat down with them anyways, picking up his cards and groaning.

"Whoever shuffled these are trash."

Jaehyun smacked his head, knowing he had shuffled it well because he'd been shuffling it for the past thirty minutes off and on since no one had been at the cafe during the last bit of his shift.

"Just put down a card because we all know you're going to lose even if you got a good hand."

"Oh dang." Hendery muttered, catching Jaehyun's smirk.

It sounded mean, but he knew if he got Haechan worked up he'd get more competitive and the game would become more fun.

"Wait. What rules are we playing with? Sevens and zeroes, draw until you get a card that works, jump ins?" YangYang asked as Haechan slapped down a red four.

"Ew, no jump ins and no stacking plus fours. We'll play with the others, though." Jaehyun responded, so YangYang placed down a green four.

"What's the sevens and zeroes rule?" Hendery asked.

"When someone plays a seven they switch hands with someone of their choice, when someone plays a zero everyone switches hands in the direction of play." Haechan explained, Hendery taking a moment before he understood what that meant.

The game started off just fine, occasionally teaming up to beat up on someone so they wouldn't win. At one point Doyoung came down to ask Jaehyun where he had put something, the other three taking the opportunity to stack plus twos. Hendery had already taken the six cards he was supposed to, but he showed YangYang the plus two he had picked up and placed that down to pretend like Jaehyun now had to pick up eight.

After their fourth time shuffling the deck, they were still playing the same game. Jungwoo, Chenle and WinWin had come down to watch them, but there was no point in helping them cheat because they kept switching hands.

When YangYang got up for a bathroom break, WinWin took over for him and almost won in less turns than he had cards. Which wasn't possible, but he somehow almost did it. He wasn't allowed to fill in for anyone after that.

"It's been almost two hours. Can we please either quit or make someone win?" Haechan whined, laying down so his head was in Jungwoo's lap.

"No way! We can pause, but we're not quitting or purposefully ending." Jaehyun scolded.

"Uno!" Hendery announced as he placed a reverse down.

"What? How?! You just had like twenty cards!" Haechan picked his head up to see if Hendery really did have one card left, sighing when he was able to confirm it. He may not have wanted the game to continue, but he did want to win.

"That was before I switched with Jaehyun. Now he has twenty cards."

It wasn't exactly twenty cards, but it pretty much was. None of which were yellow, so now he had to draw more until he found one.

Despite, YangYang's best efforts to get Hendery to lose, involving skipping him twice and reversing it so he had to wait even longer, it didn't matter. He had been saving a wild card in his hand so it didn't matter what anyone played before him.

He slapped the card down when it finally did end up being his turn. "You guys suck at this game."

"If you were really so good you would've ended the game two hours ago." YangYang retorted, placing down his cards as he laid down.

"Yeah, but I still won."

"Who wants to play again?" Jaehyun cut them off, starting to shuffle the cards again.

"Nope!"

Hendery, Haechan, and YangYang ran upstairs with no hesitation, Chenle and Jungwoo shaking their heads. Jaehyun raised an eyebrow at WinWin who skooched forward to play.

Jaehyun was defeated in five minutes.
