ATEEZ Imagines

Jongho ✦ Fish Out Of Water | Merman AU

After some searching, you were successfully able to find a decent truth or dare generator and kicked off the game.
"Alright." You rubbed your hands together in anticipation. "Truth or dare?"
"Truth."
"Wuss." You coughed.
"Hey. I'm just starting off slow." He spoke defensively.
"Okay, fine." You tapped the truth icon on your phone screen, a randomly generated question popping up after.
"If there was one thing you could redo, what would it be?"
"Hm." He chewed his lip. "I would be more honest I think."
"Is there something you're hiding, Jongho?" You teased.
"That's not part of the game, Y/n. I already answered my question."
"Alright fine." You handed the phone to him.
"Y/n. Truth or dare?" He questioned.
You raised a brow. "Dare."
Jongho grinned mischievously, tapping the dare button only for his shoulders to slump immediately upon reading the screen.
"Aw. This one is lame." He frowned.
"What is it?"
"It says smell the shoes of the person sitting beside you."
"You're right. That one is lame, but I'll do it."
"Have fun." Jongho grabbed his shoe, tossing it over. "I want you to take a big whiff."
You did as he said, surprised to find that his shoes didn't smell too bad.
The both of took a few more turns asking the questions back and forth. You ended up picking truth for some of them, to which you earned a few snide remarks from Jongho but you didn't care.

"Alright, Y/n. You've been choosing truth these past few rounds. Truth or dare?"
"Dare." You answered confidently, deciding it was time to switch things up.
He pressed the button on your phone and a random dare popped up on the screen.
"Let the person beside you make you as uncomfortable as they can."
Your face dropped after he read it. "That's not a dare, that's a punishment." You huffed.
"Are you trying to say you can't handle it?" Jongho challenged.
"No. I can handle it."
"We'll see about that." He moved close to you with an arrogant smirk plastered on his face.
You watched him while he slowly inched forward, his face nearing yours. The closer he got the more you could feel yourself beginning to get nervous. If you didn't have a fat crush on him this would be a piece of cake.
Jongho's eyes wandered over your features as his face neared your own, getting so dangerously close it made your heart jump into your throat. The musky scent of his cologne reached your senses, putting you in a sort of fog that partially clouded your mind. You could now feel the warmth radiating off his body as his lips neared your cheek. You weren't sure what exactly he was going do. Part of you thought he might actually try and kiss you, the thought alone sent butterflies into my stomach. Just when you thought his lips were about to touch your cheek, you felt them brush your ear. You shivered a bit in response, earning a breathy chuckle from Jongho which only made things worse.
"You ready to give up?" He whispered, his voice low, sending a chill down your spine.
You could feel yourself starting to slip, your resolve slowly crumbling. You turned your head without thinking, your lips just barely brushing past each other, this causing you both to pull away in surprise.
You clamped your hand over your mouth, your cheeks set ablaze almost instantly. Jongho seemed just as flustered, seeing as his ears were the same color as his hair. You pulled your hand away, your mouth opening to say something. Jongho quickly cleared his throat before you could speak.
"Let's watch a movie. I'll go pick one." He blurted quickly, standing up and hurrying out of the room.
You let out a sigh, falling back onto the pillows and blankets scattered along the floor of the fort, your face feeling hotter than ever.
Stupid. Stupid. You scolded yourself. Why did I have to move my head? That made the whole situation even more awkward.

It took a while for Jongho to return to your room and you honestly can't blame him.
"I wasn't sure what to choose so I brought back three movies." He stated.
"Oh. That's a good idea."
He laid the movies out on the floor, allowing you to look over them.
"How about this one?" You pointed to the romance movie.
"I figured." Jongho teased, the awkward tension looming in the air had now seemingly disappeared.
"What? You don't wanna watch it?"
"No, we'll watch it."
