"Bakit hindi pa kayo nagbibihis? Tara na!" Sabi ni Ryujin at hinila hila ang mga kaibigan. Nakaupo laang sila sa couch.

"Gago naman, RJ. Underage kaya tayo. Walang bar magpapapasok satin," naiiritang sabi ni Winter at sinipa ang binti ni Ryujin. 

"Tangina mo, Winter! Pwede naman sabihin na lang, nanipa pa." Umupo si Ryujin sa lap ni Karina. The taller girl automatically s her hands on the shorter girl's waist. Hindi na bago sakanila ang ganito. Winter stood up.

"Umupo ka nga nang maayos, RJ. Kuha lang ako snacks. Movie marathon na lang tayo," she said and left. Napataas naman ang kilay ni Karina.

"Sobrang feel at home talaga." Bulong nya sa sarili. Ryujin sat on Winter's spot and hummed. She looked around at her friends na puro nagcecellphone o naglalandian.

Pinatay nya ang TV na wala namang nanonood. She also stood up and turned off the  wifi connection. Wala naman siguro silaa Tiffany at Irene sa bahay. 

"Gago bakit nawala wifi?" Renjun groaned. Napangisi naman si Ryujin. Kinuha nya ang mga cellphone ng lahat at inilagay sa isang tabi. They are glaring at her, but who cares?

"Let's play!" Sabi nya at hinila paupo sa carpet ang lahat. They let her be. Wala rin naman sakanila ang phones nila, and kapag kinuha naman nila, magtatampo si Ryujin.

"Anong laro naman?" Minju asked. The shorter girl shrugged.

"Hintayin natin si Winter bago ko sabihin. Ayoko nang paulit-ulit," sabi nya at umupo na rin sa tabi ni Chaeryeong at Lia. Ilang minuto nilang hinintay si Winter. 

The latter arrived with arms full of snacks. Inilagay nya sa gitna ang mga pagkain bago nakiupo sa bilog.

"Oh? Ano na laro?" Jeno asked. He snatched a bag of chips from Jaemin before chuckling. 

"Truth or Dare!" They all scoffed except Ryujin. 

"Ano ba naman yan, gasgas na yan e." Reklamo ni Jaemin. 

"Edi Never Have I Ever. Pero if Never yung sagot, ipapagawa natin. If nagawa naman na, maglalagay ng 1k sa bowl." Kinuha ni Ryujin ang malinis na bowl at inilagay sa gitna. 

"Anong gagawin sa naipon na pera?" Tanong ni Chaeryeong at inilabas ang wallet. 

"Pambayad sa trip natin sa beach after ng Quiz Bee nila Karina." They all agreed. Unang magsasalita si Yeji.

"Remember na dapat doable sya." Paalala ni Chaewon. 

"Never have I ever sang karaoke." All of them, except Yeji put a thousand peso bill inside the bowl. Yeji groaned.

"Bakit kasi hindi nyo ako isinama?!" Reklamo nya at tumayo. Sinet up nila ang karaoke sa TV nila Karina. Inabutan na rin nila ng mic si Yeji.

"Galingan mo!!! Kantahin mo yung 12:51." Natatawang sabi ni Karina. Yeji cleared before singing the song. Minsan nga ay nagiging off key sya. 

"LODI KITA YEJI HWANG!" Sabay na sigaw nila Ryujin at Winter. Sakanilang lahat kasi, silang dalawa ang siraulo. They are the group's clowns. 

"Tarantado!" Piningot ni Yeji ang tenga ni Winter at Ryujin.

"Joke lang! Bitaw! Masakit, gago!" Sigaw ni Winter at tinapik-tapik pa ang kamay ni Yeji. Karina looked at them intently. 

"Next na! Babagal." Yuna demanded with crossed arms. 

"Never have I ever climbed out of a window." Sabi ni Minju. Napalagay silang pera maliban kay Ryujin.

"Weh? Tangina mo, RJ! Ikaw?! Hindi ka pa tumatakas?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ni Lia. 

"Gago, kahit naman ganito ako, good girl ako kila Mommy no." She said. She even puckered her lips. 

"Oh? You need to climb down, . Samahan namin kayo sa kwarto," sinamahan ni Karina si Ryujin at Minju papunta sa kwarto nya. She opened her window and gestured.

"Game na! Videohan ko kayo!" Renjun shouted from downstairs. Minju cleared before trying to climb down. Proud na proud naman na pumalakpak si Chaewon.

"Go, babe!" She cheered proudly. 

"Pre, may bubulong ako sayo," sabi ni Ryujin at pinalapit sakanya si Karina. The latter creased her forehead. 

"Bobo ka talaga!" Sigaw ni Karina matapos bumulong ni Ryujin. Dumungaw si Karina sa bintana para sigawan ang mga kaibigan nya.

"Nanttrip lang to si RJ! Kasama ko sya nung nakaraan, sa window sya dumaan." She said. Napairap ang iba pero hindi na nagreklamo. Pumasok na rin sila sa bahay.

" you, RJ. Really," Karina said and walked out. Napailing na lang si Ryujin at sumunod sakanya pababa. 

"Game game! Next agad!" 

Karina think to herself. Something she has not done. Isa lang naman naisip nya. 

"Never have I ever kissed someone." They awkwardly looked at each other. Maglalagay na sana sila ng pera pero biglang kinuha ni Chaewon ang bowl. 

"Bago maglagay, sabihin muna kung sino at kailan nangyari." She smirked. 

Nauna na silang dalawa ni Minju for a very obvious reason.

"Uh, I kissed Chaeryeong when we were in the last year of JHS. Noong moving up ceremony," nahihiyang sabi ni Lia. Chaeryeong scoffed.

"Ano ba yan! Kanina pa ako nag-babayad ah!" Sabi nito at umiling. Padabog nyang nilagay ang pera nya. 

"I kissed Haechan the other day!" Proud na sabi ni Jaemin. Napairap naman si Jeno. Malandi kasi sobra si Jaemin. Kahit best friend nya nilalandi.

"It was Prom night. I kissed him." Sabi nya at tinuro si Renjun. Sabay silang naglagay sa bowl ng isang libo. 

"Gago bakit kayo naghahalikan!" Sabi ni Ryujin at naglagay ng 1k. 

"Sino naman hinalikan mo?" Winter asked with a raised brow. She knew it was not Karina, since sakanya galing yung phrase. 

"Si Chaeryeong din." Natatawang sabi nya at yinakap ang braso ni Winter. Napairap na lang sya. She felt relieved though. 

"Eh ikaw Yeji?" Chaewon asked. 

"A stranger I met on a contest. Cute ko raw kase, edi I kissed her." Naniwala naman agad sila kay Yeji. The girl does not know how to lie. And she is a also a flirt. Lahat naman sila. Well, maliban na lang kila Chaewon at Minju na magjowa, at kay Karina at Winter na magkaaway. 

"So that leaves you and Winter." Renjun taunted as he pointed at the two. 

"Sino naman hahalikan ko?" Nakataas na kilay na tanong ni Karina.

"Since dalawa lang naman kayo, why not each other na lang?" Chaewon suggested. Nagkatinginan muna sila Winter at Karina. 

"Ayoko!" Sigaw ni Karina. Winter scoffed, totally offended by the reaction.

"Takot ka siguro, Yu."

"Elaborate, Kim." Magkasalubong na ang kilay ni Karina. She is annoyed. Nagbackfire yung sinabi nya. She can't think of anything. And now, she needs to kiss her nemesis. The bane of her existence. 

"You're afraid that you'll feel things towards me when you kiss me." 

"I am not!" She defended herself. Winter smirked at Karina, irking the older girl. 

"Sure you—"

Karina pulled Winter's nape and kissed her on her lips. Winter looked at her with wide eyes. Tangina, ano na namang nakain nya at parang may kumikiliti sa tyan nya, sobrang bilis pa ng tibok ng puso nya, at nag-iinit din ang mukha nya?
