People started to arrive.
You arrived, I didn't even invite you.
I didn't have the courage to.
So many people were crammed into the small, and now hot, apartment.
Almost everyone was sitting on the floor in the large circle we had formed, the empty Soju bottle in the center.
"Listen up. We will spin the bottle once in the very beginning to decide who will ask another truth or dare.
Then that person will spin the bottle once more to decide who they will ask.
It's as simple as that, try not to fuck it up." Uncle Kyungsoo explained.
We weren't related by blood, my mother was so close to Kyungsoo and Minseok it was as if they were related, she and my father had no real siblings so they asked if Minseok and Kyungsoo would be my uncles.
They take the parental role in my life, my father died two years after I was born and my mother killed herself when I was only five.
