A half-eaten bowl of cereal sat forgotten on the coffee table, milk turning a sickly yellow. The air, thick with the scent of stale popcorn and teenage energy, vibrated with Sion’s cackle.
“Truth or dare, Sion?” Yushi’s grin stretched, a predator eyeing its prey.
Sion, sprawled across the beanbag, considered. “Truth. My secrets are safe with you heathens.”
“Fine.” Yushi’s eyes glinted. “Who’s the last person you stalked on Instagram for more than five minutes?”
Sion hesitated, a blush creeping up his neck. “That’s two people, actually. My ex, and the barista from the coffee shop near school.” He shrugged, feigning indifference. “Your turn, Yushi.”
Yushi puffed out his chest. “Dare. Obviously.”
Haneul, perched on the armrest of the sofa, tapped her chin. “Ding-dong-ditch the kims next door. But you have to sing the national anthem while you do it.”
Yushi’s face fell. “My soul is dead.” He dragged himself up, a mournful wail escaping his lips as he shuffled towards the front door. A moment later, a strained, off-key rendition of the anthem echoed from outside, followed by the frantic ring of a doorbell.
“Alright, daeng,” James said, his voice dripping with anticipation. “Your turn. Truth or dare?”
Jaehee, hunched over his phone, startled. “Truth.” The word barely a whisper.
James scoffed. “Boring. You always pick truth. Live a little.”
“Come on, Jaehee,” Haneul purred, a hand landing on his shoulder, a feather-light pressure that felt like a hundred pounds. “Don’t be a coward. We know you want to pick dare.”
Jaehee’s gaze darted between their eager faces, a nervous tremor starting in his hands. “I… I really don’t.”
“Imagine the stories,” Sion chimed in, now back in his beanbag. “The legend of daeng’s Great Dare.” His friends’ combined pressure felt like a physical weight. Jaehee swallowed, a dry rasp in his throat. “Fine. Dare.”
A collective cheer erupted.
“Okay, here’s the deal,” James announced, pulling out his own phone.
“You’re getting on Tinder.”
Jaehee’s eyes widened to saucers. “What? No. Absolutely not.”
“Oh, yes,” Haneul corrected, snatching Jaehee’s phone. “And you have to find a girl and use the worst pickup lines we can think of.”
“This is a nightmare,” Jaehee mumbled, watching Haneul download the app.
Minutes later, a profile picture of Jaehee, looking vaguely terrified, appeared on the screen. The friends huddled around, a choir of groans and approvals accompanying each swipe.
The girl on the screen had kind eyes, framed by dark hair that fell just past her shoulders. A faint, almost shy smile played on her lips.
“Okay, daeng,” James said, practically vibrating with excitement. “Your opening line. ‘Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?’”
Jaehee’s face contorted. “That’s… that’s terrible.”
“That’s the point!” Haneul pushed the phone into his hand. “Send it.”
With a trembling finger, Jaehee typed, then pressed send. A moment stretched, thick with anticipation. Then, a notification.
“No way,” Yushi breathed.
“She’s a keeper,” Sion declared. “Alright, next one. ‘Are you a parking ticket? Because you’ve got FINE written all over you.’”
Jaehee typed, a flush creeping up his neck. Another notification.
“She’s amused!” Haneul clapped Jaehee on the back. “This is working!
Okay, last one. ‘Is your name Google? Because you’ve got everything I’ve been searching for.’”
Jaehee typed, his heart hammering against his ribs. He couldn’t believe this was happening.
Jaehee froze. His friends, initially ecstatic, fell silent.
“She wants to know him,” Yushi whispered, as if speaking too loudly would break the house.
Panic, cold and sharp, hit Jaehee. He looked at his friends, a silent plea in his eyes.
“You have to tell her,” James stated, a hint of regret in his voice. “It was a dare.”
Jaehee’s fingers hovered over the keyboard. He typed, then deleted. Typed again.
A sudden, unexpected smile touched Jaehee’s lips. The sun, finally breaking through the blinds in full force, seemed to illuminate the room, dispelling the last vestiges of chaos. Maybe, he thought, dares weren’t so bad after all.
A/N- omgg guyss, ik i was gone for...40 DAYS WTF?!!? but suddenly i had the urge to update because my physics exam went really great and the happiness took over me...i hope you guys enjoy.....anyways you can ask or comment to be featured in the taglist!!
A/N- yes i know i am updating after 15 days and i am really sorry abt it, i have my reasons guys. First off, i was procastinating like crazy. Secondly, i had so many tests to attend, goddamn I didn't have time to breathe and last but not least, i had no clue how to continue... come on you guys have to believe me on this....anyways you can ask or comment to be featured in the taglist!!
after four hours of shopping, the group headed to the food court. It's the usual chaos that you were used to; sakuya and ryo bickering, riku getting his daily dose of gossip from sooin and leesol, you were glad that everyone ended up going to the same uni.
That's when you crashed into a guy, " woah are you okay?" he asked right after he stood up and offered to help, " i'm fine, what about you?" you stood, taking his help. He looked awfully similar to a dear friend of yours, " i'm okay too" he assured you.
That's when you heard one of his friends with a ridiculous cap on, call him, "jaehee, come on we are about to order!" " y/n, our food is here!", you heard leesol, bringing the food from the counter. A wave of disbelief washed over both of you, leaving you both stunned.
"jaehee?!"
"y/n…?"
A/N- yess, they finally met and now i have no idea how to proceed... lol i'm sorry for the wait, i have a huge test tomorrow and i thought i would update when i had a break which took an hour by the way smh-... anyways you can ask or comment to be featured in the taglist!!
A/N- i hate tumblr for not letting more than 10 pics to be uploaded, i had to merge the twts..... rookie mistake y'all i should've known smh-..... but anyways you can ask or comment to be featured in the taglist!!!!
Jaehee Kim is y/n's friend from middle school, he is music smart, excelling in piano and otamatone(you'll see why). he is quite shy but a loud introvert when he's with the gang. he wants to learn all the intruments in the whole wide world(istg this guy tires me)….
Sion Oh had started dancing from his diaper days, the oldest in the gang but he is the devil that sits on daeng's left shoulder, leading him to dumb decisions(smh-).
Yushi Tokuno's passion is music, you can see it in his eyes( no, its not the eyeliner), the angel on that sits on daeng's right shoulder, distracting him from sion's ideas.
Jeemin Bang met him on tinder( yeah wild story) but they ended up as friends (they never dated) and are literally each other's life counsellors, crazy about finding cleopatra's tomb(are all archaeologists like this?)
Haneul Won is his friend from childhood, who was also his neighbour. they used to bicker a lot(sibling be like-), fake enemies but stuck through everything.
James Zhao and him became mutual friends from sion's dance group, but quickly warmed up to the gang with his personality and his….great expressions(iykyk).
Y/N is jaehee's friend from middle school, has loved dinosaurs since her diaper days(she is called a dino by saku), very outgoing personality(gurl does NOT think twice). wants to find a fully intact neanderthal(you'll see why).

Ryo Hirose is a person who may seem normal on the outside but has the energy of a mammoth(like bro is NOT tired), very serious about music(doyoung bias be like-) and he is doted by everyone in the gang….
Sakuya Fujinaga is the youngest person in the world(facts), bullies her like its his daily routine but is a very responsible child. for some reason, wants to find the tomb of genghis khan(he's crazy).
Sooin Kim really looks like she would eat you but has the energy of a teddy bear(meow ig-)… give her food and she is on your good side, you really dont want to deal with a hangry dance monster…
Sumin Lee is the only normal person in this gang(idk how she got here), became mutual friends from sooin's dance group, is embarrassed to be seen with these ppl(obviously) but really loves them cause she is their atm…she is ryo's favourite(crush) person(you'll see why).
