Chapter 31

Until You Stop Breathing

Chapter 31

“Hey, pizza man is here!” Koosung exclaims excitedly getting up from our group circle.

“Finally, I’m starving!” Youngtae says.

“Let’s let _____ get her food first,” Jiseok says.

“It’s okay, you guys can go first.”

“Nonsense! Our secret weapon who helped us win should go first.”

“Yeah, go _______,” people chant and clap.

>Several Soju bottles later<

“Let’s play truth or dare,” Sungjin suggests already tipsy.

“Isn’t that game for little kids?” Minho asks.

“Hey, lighten up, will ya! It’s just for fun!” Jiseok defends.

“I’m in!” Hojin says raising his hand.

“Alright, truth or dare Hojin,” Sungjae asks.

“Hmm. Dare!”

“I dare you to  the bottom of my shoe.”

            Hojin makes a disgusted face behind his fake glasses.

“Come on man. You picked dare.”

“Eish!” Hojin says getting up.

“Ew!” the group shouts after Hojin Sungjae’s shoe.

“Great job, man”, Sungjae says fist bumping Hojin. “Your turn.”

“Naenae, truth or dare?” Hojin asks.

“Truth.”

“Who was your first kiss?”

            Naenae’s face start to turn pink and she mutters, “Kibum.”

“Aw!” all the girls coo.

“Your current boyfriend?” Youngtae asks.

“Mhm,” she blushes, “Okay Junsun, truth or dare?”

“Dare,” he says proudly.

“Alright then. I dare you to kiss Jiseok’s nose.”

“Come on over baby,” Jiseok tries to say seductively.

“I’m coming my love!” Junsun says as if he’s in a drama.

Muah!

 Haha The group erupts into laughter.

“Nana, truth or dare?”

“I pick… dare!”

“Ooo, you’re bold! I dare you to give Minho a !”

            Silence.

“But there’s no music,” she says.

“We’ll play some, so quit stalling.”

            The whole room was waiting in anticipation as Nana goes over to a now seated and irritated Minho.

            Junsun started playing the song Wet by Jooyoung and Nana starts dancing. Minho tried his hardest to keep on his poker face but his ears were turning red and of course Jiseok starts teasing him.

“I knew it! I knew Minho would like it,” he laughs.

“Shut up! You don’t know anything,” Minho roars.

“Quit denying it hyung,” Jiseok says, “Okay Nana continue on with the game.”

“Okay… _________, truth or dare?” she asks me.

“I pick truth.”

“That’s no fun! You should pick dare!” Sungjae says.

“Maybe next time.”

“Do you think any boy here is attractive?” Nana asks me.

            Why did she have to ask me this kind of question??

“Um… Yes.” I say shyly.

Ooooo!!

“Ooo! Who is it?” Jiseok sing songs.

“I believe that the question was if I find anyone attractive, not who.

“Ooo burn, hyung!” Hojin laughs hitting Jiseok’s back.

“You’re no fun” Jiseok pouts.

            Shaking my head laughing, I proceed with the game. “Jiseok, truth or dare?”

“I’m not talking to you,” Jiseok sulks crossing his arms across his chest.

“Come on, it’s just a game,” Hojin tries to reason.

“I’m sorry, Jiseok. Will you answer the question?” I say.

“I’ll forgive you only if you do aegyo.”

“What?” I say with my eyes widening. I don’t like doing aegyo because, well, I don’t think that I look cute doing it.

“Leave her alone,” JB retorts.

“Why?? I’m dying to see how adorable she’ll look. So, please _______,” Jiseok says in a baby voice.

            Feeling pressured from everyone looking at me, I had no other choice, “buing buing.”

“Aw, my heart!” Jiseok utters placing his hands over his heart.

            I just look down in embarrassment. Why Jiseok? Why?

“So cute! Okay, my turn! JB truth or dare?”

“Truth.”

“Don’t be a wimp, JB! Come on, choose dare!”

“Leader! Leader! Leader!” everyone begins to chant.

“Alright, fine! Dare,” JB says giving in.

“Good choice, hyung. Very good choice. I dare you to play 7 minutes in heaven with _________!”

            Silence

            Absolute silence fills the entire room. JB was glued to his seat mortified.

“Isn’t that something middle schoolers play when they’re trying to learn how to kiss?” Minho says, “You’re so childish.”

“Hey, it’s just for fun, right?” Jiseok smirks.

“Didn’t you think of _____’s feelings? You have put her in an uncomfortable position” JB says.

“Do you feel uncomfortable, ________?”

“Um, well…-”

“See, she didn’t say no. A dare is a dare, hyung.”

“Do the dare! Do the dare!” everyone is chorusing together.

Chapter 31: I really like your story~! It's light, cute, but still has enough substance without being very heavy or overbearing. I like the humor and the light bantering too xD The style sort of reminds me of writers like Whitman who did stream of consciousness styled poetry~
It does make me wonder though if the story will come back to confront the character's issues with the abusive ex. It would be great to see her confront him and stand up/stop him from being such a jerk!
Great job, keep up the good work!
