JUNG KOOK AND I STAND THERE LOOKING AT THEM. JUNG KOOK SLIGHTY COWERS BEHIND ME.

"HELLO HYUNG- DEUL."

JIN STEPS FORWARD. "TAE, WOULD YOU LIKE TO TELL US WHO THIS CUTIE IS?"

"I'M PRETTY SURE YOU ALREADY KNOW WHO HE IS."

JUNG KOOK COMES OUT FROM BEHIND ME. "HELLO MY NAME IS JEON JUNG KOOK." HE BOWS 90º.

"AWW CAN WE KEEP HIM?" HO SEOK RUNS UP TO JUNG KOOK, HUGS HIM, AND THEN SQUEEZES HIS CHEEKS.

JUNG KOOK JUST STANDS THERE, SHOCKED. I GRAB HIS WRIST AND SOFTLY PULL HIM BACK. "HO SEOK-HYUNG, YOU'RE GOING TO SCARE HIM."

I HEAR NAM JOON-HYUNG SNICKER.

"KOOKIE, THAT'S THE ONE I WAS TALKING TO ON MY PHONE EALIER SEOK JIN-HYUNG, THAT'S NAM JOON-HYUNG, YOON GI-HYUNG, THE ONE THAT JUST D YOU IS HO SEOK-HYUNG, AND YOU ALREADY KNOW JI MIN. "

"NICE TO MEET YOU ALL."

"HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN DATING OUR TAE HYUNG?" NAM JOON ASKS.

"WE ARE NOT DATING. WE'RE JUST FRIENDS."

"YOU'RE THE RELIGIOUS KID I TALKED TO THE OTHER TIME, AREN'T YOU?" HO SEOK SAYS.

WE'VE  SPOKEN BEFORE? THAT'S RIGHT, WE DID TALK ON THE CHATTING WEBSITE ONCE.

"YES, I AM."

"STILL RELIGIOUS?"

"YES."

"SO YOU'RE HETEROUAL?"

"YES."

"BUT YOU LIKE SPOONING WITH MEN. THAT IS TOTALLY NOT GAY."

"SPOONING? WHAT IS THAT?"

"YA KNOW SPOONING AS IN CUDDLING."

"CUDDLING?"

"WHAT YOU AND TAE TAE WERE DOING LAST NIGHT."

"WHAT WERE WE D-"

"WE SHOULD EAT. OUR BREAKFAST IS GETTING COLD," I SAY.

WE EACH TAKE A SEAT AT THE DINNER TABLE.

"WHERE'S THE FOOD?" JI MIN SAYS.

"ON THE ISLAND, OVER THERE," I ANSWER.

"AREN'T YOU GOING TO GET IT?"

"I SHOULD."

"YEA."

I GET UP AND GRAB THE PLATES. AFTER I GIVE EVERYONE THEIR FOOD I SIT BACK DOWN. IT GETS QUIET FOR A MINUTE.

"SO, JI MIN TOLD ME THAT YOU TWO HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER FOR ABOUT TWO WEEKS, BUT YOU BARELY MET IN PERSON YESTERDAY. WHY IS THAT?" JIN ASKS JUNG KOOK.

JUNG KOOK PUTS HIS FORK DOWN. "MY PARENTS ARE VERY PROTECTIVE. THEY DON'T LET ME MEET SOMEONE UNLESS I HAVE THEIR CONSENT. AS YOU ALREADY KNOW, WE ARE A RELIGIOUS FAMILY SO, THE PEOPLE I MEET ALSO HAVE TO HAVE THE SAME BELIEFS AS US."

"THEN WHAT ARE YOU DOING TALKING TO TAE HYUNG?" YOON GI QUESTIONS.

"PARDON?"

"YOU DO KNOW THAT TAE HYUNG ISN'T RELIGIOUS, RIGHT?"

"I DO."

"THEN HOW DID YOU COME TO KNOW EACH OTHER?"

"ONE NIGHT, WHEN I WAS SUPPOSED TO BE ASLEEP. I WENT ON MY LAPTOP AND CAME ACROSS THIS WEBSITE. IT WAS A CHATTING WEBSITE. AFTER I CREATED AN ACCOUNT I HAD RECEIVED A MESSAGE FROM A GIRL BUT SHE WAS... NOT SOMEONE I WANTED TO TALK TO. I LEFT THAT CHAT AND CLICKED ON THE FIND ME A FRIEND ICON AGAIN. THEN SOMEONE NAMED V MESSAGED ME. THEY WERE INTRIGUING SO I CONTINUED TO TALK TO THEM. WE ENDED UP GETTING ALONG REALLY WELL AND MESSAGED EACH OTHER EVERYDAY AT AROUND THE SAME TIME AFTER THAT. IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T REALIZED, V IS TAE HYUNG."

"THAT'S A CUTE STORY," JIN COMMENTS.

"DO YOUR PARENTS KNOW THAT WE'RE HERE?"

"NO, THEY DO NOT."

"WHERE ARE THEY?"

"OVERSEAS ON A BUSINESS TRIP."

EVERYONE CONTINUES EATING.

AFTER BREAKFAST WE MOVE TO THE LIVING ROOM. JIN, NAMJOON, HO SEOK, AND JI MIN OCCUPY THE COUCH. YOON GI TAKES THE SOFA CHAIR. LASTLY JUNG KOOK AND I SIT ON THE LOVESEAT.

JI MIN LOOKS AROUND. "WHAT DO WE DO NOW?"

"THERE'S NOT MUCH TO DO IN THIS HOUSE," JUNG KOOK SAYS.

"HOW ABOUT WE WATCH A MOVIE?" NAM JOON SUGGESTS.

"WE CAN'T DO THAT," I RESPOND.

"WHY NOT?"

"THERE'S ONLY ONE TELEVISION IN THIS HOUSE AND IT'S IN MY PARENTS BEDROOM," JUNG KOOK SAYS.

"THEN LET'S GO TO YOUR PARENTS BEDROOM," YOON GI RESPONDS.

"THEY HAVE CAMERAS IN EVERY CORNER OF THEIR BEDROOM," JUNG KOOK REVEALS.

"WHY THE DO THEY HAVE CAMERAS IN THEIR ROOM?"

"I DON'T KNOW. I GUESS IT'S BECAUSE THEY WANT TO KNOW WHO GOES IN THERE."

"YOUR PARENTS ARE ING WEIRD MAN."

"I GOT IT! LET'S PLAY TRUTH OR DARE," JI MIN SHOUTS.

EVERYONE EXCHANGES LOOKS.

JUNG KOOK WHISPERS INTO MY EAR: "WHAT'S THIS TRUTH OR DARE GAME?"

"BASICALLY, SOMEONE ASKS YOU TRUTH OR DARE AND YOU PICK EITHER ONE. IF YOU CHOOSE TRUTH THEN THEY ASK YOU A QUESTION. YOU HAVE TO ANSWER IT HONESTLY. IF YOU PICK DARE THEN THEY DARE YOU TO DO SOMETHING. IF THEY SAY 'I DARE YOU TO EAT A BUG' YOU HAVE TO DO IT."

"WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU DON'T?"

"YOU GET PUNISHED."

"WHAT'S THE PUNISHMENT?"

"SINCE WE LIKE TO EMBARRASS ONE ANOTHER, WE REMOVE A PIECE OF OUR CLOTHING."

"YOU HAVE TO UNDRESS AS YOUR PUNISHMENT?"

"YEP."

"TRUTH OR DARE IT IS," JI MIN SAYS HAPPILY. "WHO WANTS TO GO FIRST?"

"LET'S GO FROM YOUNGEST TO OLDEST," NAM JOON SAYS.

"THE YOUNGEST PERSON HERE IS, NONE OTHER THAN OUR RELIGIOUS CUTIE, JEON JUNG KOOK."

"WHAT WILL IT BE KOOKIE? TRUTH OR DARE?" HE LOOKS AT ME.

"DARE."

"SINCE YOU'RE NEW AT THIS I'LL GIVE YOU AN EASY ONE. SIT ON TAE HYUNGS LAP FOR THE REST OF THE GAME," JI MIN SAYS.

WITHOUT HESITATION, HE GETS UP AND DOES THE DARE.

"YOU LIKE THAT DON'T YOU, TAE? SO WHAT WILL YOU CHOOSE TRUTH OR DARE?"

"TRUTH."

"WHICH PERSON IN THIS ROOM DO YOU FIND MOST ATTRACTIVE?"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY ATTRACTIVE? ATTRACTIVE AS IN THEY ARE GOOD LOOKING OR ATTRACTIVE AS IN I WANNA DATE THEM?"

"THE LATTER."

"KOOKIE."

JI MIN, HO SEOK, AND JIN WHOOP.

"OKAY. I'M NEXT. I CHOOSE DARE."

"I DARE YOU TO GIVE HO SEOK A ," NAM JOON SAYS.

EVERYONE LAUGHS.

"THAT'S YOUR DARE? THAT'S EASY."

JI MIN STANDS UP AND BEGINS GIVING HO SEOK THE BEST HE CAN DO. THE DANCE TURNS HEATED IN SECONDS. HO SEOK HAS HIS HANDS ON JI MINS WHILE JI MIN GRINDS ON HIM.

JUNG KOOKS EYES ARE WIDE OPEN AS HE STARES AT THE TWO MEN IN A VERY INTIMATE POSITION.

"OOOKAY THAT'S ENOUGH. WE WOULDN'T WANT YOU TWO ING IN FRONT OF US," YOON GI COMMENTS.

JI MIIN STOPS AND SITS BACK DOWN ON HIS SEAT.

"WHO'S NEXT?"

"I AM AND I CHOOSE TRUTH," NAM JOON SAYS.

"IF YOU ONLY HAD THREE HOURS LEFT TO LIVE. WHAT WOULD YOU DO WITH YOUR GIRLFRIEND?"

"I THINK YOU ALL KNOW THE ANSWER TO THAT. I WOULD .....ING TELL HER I LOVE HER AND TAKE HER OUT FOR AN EXPENSIVE MEAL."

"THAT'S A DAMN LIE. WE ALL KNOW WHAT YOU WOULD REALLY DO," YOON GI SAYS.

"SINCE YOU LIED YOU HAVE TO GET PUNISHED. TAKE OFF A PIECE OF YOUR CLOTHING," JI MIN DEMANDS.

NAM JOON CHUCKLES AND STANDS UP. HE CHOOSES TO REMOVE HIS JACKET.

AN HOUR AND A HALF NAM JOON AND SHIRTLESS JIN AND TAE HYUNG LATER, IT IS THE LATTERS TURN AGAIN.

"DARE."

"I DARE YOU TO PASSIONATELY KISS JUNG KOOK ON THE LIPS FOR AN ENTIRE MINUTE."

"WHAT?"

"IF YOU DON'T WANT TO YOU CAN TAKE OFF YOUR PANTS INSTEAD."

"I THINK I'LL JUST REMOVE MY PANTS." WAIT, NO I CAN'T. I DON'T HAVE ANY BOXERS ON.

"WHAT WILL IT BE TAE TAE?"

. "I'LL DO THE DARE."

"GET TO IT THEN."

I LOOK AT JUNG KOOK. HE LOOKS PETRIFIED.

"I'M SO SORRY. I WOULD TAKE OFF MY PANTS BUT I'M NOT WEARING ANY BOXERS," I WHISPER.

"...IT'S OKAY. YOU CAN DO IT. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO THOUGH. I'VE NEVER KISSED ANYONE BEFORE."

MY HEART BEAT INCREASES.

"JUST MOVE YOUR LIPS IN SYNC WITH MINE."

"O..OKAY."

YOU CAN DO THIS KIM TAE HYUNG! IT'S JUST A GAME.

MY BREATHING BECOMES UNSTEADY. AS I LEAN IN I NOTICE THE SCAR ON HIS LEFT CHEEK AGAIN. MY EYES TRAVEL DOWN TO HIS LIPS. THEY LOOK INVITING.

WHEN OUR LIPS FINALLY MEET JUNG KOOK GASPS. WE START OFF SLOW. I CAN TASTE THE SYRUP FROM EARLIER. HIS INEXPERIENCED LIPS SLOPPILY MOVE AGAINST MY OWN. I LOSE MYSELF IN HIS SOFT, MOIST LIPS. I COMPLETELY FORGET THIS WAS A DARE. WE CONTINUE TO KISS FOR WHO-KNOWS-HOW-LONG. WE ARE PULLED BACK INTO REALITY WHEN JIN CLEARS HIS THROAT AND JI MIN STARTS LAUGHING. WE PULL BACK WHEN WE BECOME AWARE OF OUR SURROUNDINGS. ONCE I HAVE AIR BACK IN MY LUNGS I LOOK AT JI MIN.

"WAS THAT A MINUTE?"

"THAT WAS ACTUALLY THREE MINUTES," HE SAYS SMIRKING.

"IT WAS?"

JUNG KOOK SUDDENLY STANDS UP AND WALKS AWAY. WE ALL WATCH HIM RUN UPSTAIRS INTO HIS BEDROOM.

OH NO...

I ALSO GET UP AND GO UPSTAIRS, IGNORING THE GIGGLES COMING FROM MY FRIENDS BELOW.

I SLOWLY OPEN THE DOOR TO JUNG KOOKS BEDROOM AND GO IN.

"KOOKIE?"

HE'S LAYING ON HIS BED FACING THE WALL. I SHUT THE DOOR.

"YOU OKAY? I'M SORRY FOR DOING THAT. I DIDN'T WANT TO TAKE OFF MY PANTS SINCE-"

"I LIKED IT." HE SAYS IT SO QUIETLY I ALMOST DIDN'T HEAR HIM.

"WHAT? THE KISS?"

"YES."

"ARE YOU MAD?"

"NO." HE SITS UP AND LOOKS AT ME. "I LIKED HOW IT FELT V."

"WELL, THAT'S NORMAL SINCE YOU ARE A HORMONAL TEENAGER RIGHT NOW."

"CAN WE DO IT AGAIN?"

"W..WHAT?"

HE GET UP OFF HIS BED AND WALKS TOWARDS ME.

"MAY I KISS YOU AGAIN? IT'LL BE QUICK."

"JUNG KOOK I-"

I'M CUT OFF MID-SENTENCE BY HIS LIPS CRASHING AGAINST MINE. JUST LIKE HE SAID IT WAS QUICK. VERY QUICK. HIS LIPS WERE GONE BEFORE I COULD EVEN REGISTER WHAT WAS HAPPENING.

A/N: HERE IS ANOTHER CHAPTER FOR YOU. UNTIL NEXT TIME MY DARLINGS~
