chp. 8

Despite Johnny saying that they were going to play Truth or Dare, they didn't start playing immediately. They waited another fifteen minutes until a few more people Taeyong didn't know came. Johnny had introduced them as Jungwoo, Yukhei and Taeil. He was going to invite a few more but they were 'too young' and another friend of Johnny's had rejected, saying that the game was 'absolutely ridiculous'.

Taeyong only knew Ten, who'd agreed immediately upon being called. He'd brought five bottles of beer which was apparently 'completely necessary'.

It was absolutely unnecessary.

But that didn't matter because now here they were, sitting in Mark and Jaehyun's room, getting totally wasted and asking each other stupid questions. Taeyong was sure the only purpose of this game was getting people together and that was probably why Johnny had invited Ten.

''Alright, let me just,'' Jungwoo giggled and reached for the empty bottle of beer which was in Yukhei's lap. ''Get this and turn it.''

He slammed his hand down on Yukhei's lap harshly, not stopping his giggling as Yukhei made a pained sound. Jungwoo's slender hand grasped the bottle and put it in the middle of the circle the eight guys created. He turned it and it landed on Taeil. Taeil, who was the only one just slightly tipsy, winced and pulled a face.

''Oh look, it landed on Taeil hyung,'' Ten chortled. ''Ask him a good one, Jungwoo, let's get him as awkward as possible.''

''Truth or dare?''

Taeil thought about it for a little, clearly unsure. After a moment of silence, he finally decided. ''Dare.''

''O-okay,'' Jungwoo said, closing his eyes. He looked more wasted than any of them- even Mark, who was turning nineteen only this year. ''W-what about...''

He looked like he would pass out any moment. His cheeks were unnaturally- but cutely- red.

''I found it!'' Jungwoo smiled widely, seeming genuinely excited. ''Lick your phone!''

''What?'' Taeil protested, eyes wide. ''That could kill me! I don't know what horrible disease is on that phone, plus it's totally unsanitary.''

''I don't care about your excuses, old man,'' Jungwoo waved him off- he was definitely a lot braver when he was drunk. ''If you have so many complaints, you shouldn't have brought your phone to the toilet in the first place.''

''I never-'' Taeil started, but stopped immediately. Lying would do him no good. ''Okay, touche. I'll do it, I guess.''

''And there Taeil hyung is,'' Johnny smiled and put his arm around Ten, the Thai student cuddling up to him. Taeyong didn't miss his sultry gaze fixed on Johnny's neck. ''You never disappoint.''

''Oh I do,'' Taeil grumbled, taking his phone out of his pocket. ''I disappoint myself.''

He slowly brought the phone closer to his mouth, shutting his eyes tightly as if it'd protect him from what was about to happen. He quickly licked the cold phone, wincing at the taste.

''God, it feels so dirty,'' he cried and threw it on the ground, running to the bathroom to clean his tongue. They all burst out laughing.

''Drunk Taeil hyung is the best Taeil hyung,'' Yukhei wheezed, holding his tummy as he laughed. Mark's face turned serious all of the sudden, glaring at him.

''Hey, don't say that, dude,'' he said, voice unimpressed. ''Taeil hyung is always great, okay?''

''This is fucking weird,'' Johnny snickered. ''Hyung, we're not gonna wait for you all day, come on!''
