''Alright,'' Taeil shouted back from the bathroom, coming out after a few more seconds. ''That was a godawful experience I never wish to have again.''

He snatched the beer bottle away from Johnny's hand and sat down in his spot. ''My turn.''

He turned the bottle. It turned for a little and then landed on Ten. The Thai man started giggling all of the sudden, excited.

''I already have my questions ready,'' Taeil said, leaning towards Ten. He put his hand on the man's knee. ''Truth or dare?''

''I'm not boring like little Mark here, so,'' he smirked at Mark, proud of himself. ''Dare.''

''I'm not-'' Mark protested, only to be cut off by Taeil.

''I dare you to kiss the hottest guy in the room.''

Ten's smirk widened at the overused question. ''Y'all are all hot,'' he started, stealing a glance at Taeyong, ''But I gotta give this to the big boy.''

He crawled out of Johnny's embrace and slowly moved onto his lap, the man accepting him easily. He put his hand on Johnny's cheek, caressing it gently.

''I'm the big boy?'' Johnny murmured, circling his long arms around Ten's waist. Ten hummed, closing in and looking Johnny straight in the eyes.

''You're the big boy, yes you are.''

Paying no attention to the awkward stares the other were giving them, Ten hungrily slammed his lips onto Johnny's. He'd done this before, obviously, but never like this. He'd never looked someone in the eye before kissing them.

Johnny grunted and pressed Ten closer, forcing their chests to touch. They were so close Ten could feel Johnny's heartbeat.

''Guys?'' Taeyong said, awkward. The fact that he could see both men's hard-ons wasn't helping his awkwardness in any way. ''I- I think you can stop now.''

But they didn't. Of course they didn't. Johnny bit Ten's lower lip and Ten whimpered, knees giving out. Johnny smirked at the small man and helped him up, all the while keeping their lips glued to each other.

''We'll be going,'' he informed the others and grunted, letting Ten hang off of him. The said man was standing on hs tiptoes and stumbling every second as he tried to keep his balance and reach the tall man's lips. ''Thanks for the dare.''

''My place or your place?'' Ten's whisper could be heard as they worked their way out of the door and slammed it shut behind them.

''N-no problem,'' Taeil called after them, huffing when he realized his reply wouldn't be heard. ''I guess.''

''Being drunk makes both of them really fucking horny,'' Jaehyun complained. ''At least Johnny's like that. Once he gets drunk there's no stopping him.''

''Same with Ten,'' Taeyong said, picking up the bottle from where it'd been left and forgotten. ''Should we keep playing?''

''Yeah, definitely,'' Yukhei burped, taking another swing of beer. ''Horny boys ain't gonna stop my fun time.''

''I wanna,'' Jungwoo mumbled, getting up from where he'd been resting. ''I wanna turn it.''

''Alright, here you go,' Taeyong smiled at Jungwoo, passing him the bottle. He was trying to act like wasn't drunk but he was. Extremely so. But he couldn't let it show when people he knew were around him-especially Jaehyun. The man had seen him drunk once and Taeyong definitely did not want it to happen again, now that they were actually on good terms.

Jungwoo turned the bottle and it ended up landing on Taeyong who was not very happy with it- not at all. He knew stupid shit was about to happen. That, unfortunately, did not stop Jungwoo from snickering like a madman.

"I've got my question ready," he said, rubbing his hands on each other. It was highly unsettling, especially when the one doing this was Jungwoo.

"Kiss the person you'd date!"

The reaction was immediate- everyone in the room started booing and whining, making it clear they thought the question was stupid.

"Be original!" Jaehyun protested. "If you're not original, this game will get boring very quickly."

"Just," Jungwoo said, voice shaky, "Do as I say for once! You never listen to me!"

It was clear Jeahyun was panicking from his wide eyes and open mouth. Nobody in the campus could beat to make Jungwoo sad. "O-okay, I guess we'll do it then, okay? Don't worry."

The shimmer in Jungwoo's eyes were gone immediately and he smiled widely. "Well, Taeyong hyung, go ahead!" His voice wasn't trembling now. Jaehyun huffed at the sudden change in the boy's mood.

''Um, I guess it's,'' Taeyong said reluctanty, not wanting to seem awkward. ''You know, Jungwoo, you are seriously unoriginal with your questions!''

''Just answer,'' Jungwoo said, crossing his arms and getting up on his knees. 

Taeyong looked around the room, scanning everybody. If he wasn't druk, he definitely wouldn't have taken this seriously and just said whoever came to his mind. But since he was drunk, he was taking it all too seriously- especially with everyone except Taeil eyeing him curiously.

''U-um,'' he stuttered. When his eyes landed on Jaehyun, he saw that Jaehyun was already looking at him intently, lips pressing into a thin line. He seemed... anticipating.

Taeyong knew he wanted to say Jaehyun. The larger man's gaze was burning into his skin from how expectant it was. He looked like he knew Taeyong wanted to say his name.

Taeyong panicked.

''Yukhei,'' Taeyong said and averted his eyes to Yukhei, looking into his eyes to avoid any kind of eye contact with Jaehyun. He crawled over to Yukhei and gave him a light peck on the lips. He could feel the waves of disappointment coming from Jaehyun but it was fairly easy to ignore it at that moment with all the hollers and 'wow's coming from the others.

Yukhei's trademark cute, goody smile spread on his face and he laughed. Taeyong did his best attempt at showing a smile as well and it seemed to work pretty well- Yukhei's smile got even wider. 

''Look at how happy he is,'' Mark chortled and slammed his hands on Yukhei's shoulders. ''Why're you so happy, Yukhei?''

As they giggled and talked about Taeyong's choice like high school girls, Taeyong himself was looking at the ground, face profoundly crimson. He didn't know why he felt so embarrassed but it was there and he felt horrible. He slowly looked up, trying to sneak a glance at Jaehyun. It didn't work- Jaehyun was looking at him already. Maybe he'd never looked away in the first place.

He seemed upset.

It definitely had something to do with alcohol, Taeyong was sure. Truth and dare was a simple game and the question Jungwoo had asked was a simple question. And if those weren't relevant, there was absolutely nothing going on between Taeyong and Jaehyun. So why did he feel like he'd offended Jaehyun?

He had no more time to think about it because Jaehyun finally looked away- but not before looking at him like he was the most thoughtless person in the world.

Taeyong wanted to cry. He'd made Jaehyun upset.
