Chaeyeon's POV
"you can do this" i grinned widely.
jihyun glared at me.
-flashback-
"let's play truth or dare" jihyun shouted from the living room.
"but i'm making ramen! you're going to make me snort the noodles or some shit!" i screamed.
i heard her gasp dramatically.
"i would never!"
i scoffed.
"is her dares really that bad?" taehyung asks, petting yeontan's head.
i hummed in reply.
when i finished my ramen, taehyung and i walked into the living room, joining jihyun and namjoon.
she gave me a devilish smile when i entered but gave a sweet innocent one to taehyung.
namjoon was just chilling on the sofa, eating some pocky.
"alrighty lads, time to play some truth or dare" she exclaimed.
namjoon and i groaned while taehyung stared at her.
"i'll start" jihyun said.
she stared at me.
"chaeyeonie~" she sang.
"no fuck you" i cursed back.
"truth or dare?"
i thought about it for a bit.
even though her dares were pure shit, i just wanted to see what she dared me cause they were absolutely crazy.
"dare.." i mumbled.
"really?!" she laughed.
i bit my lip and nodded.
i also hid my pot of ramen behind my back.
"i dare you to.." she looked around the room and her eyes landed on taehyung.
oh dear god no.
"read a paragraph of my manga to taehyung, but i will choose the paragraph" she snickered.
i frowned and taehyung looked at me in confusion.
she took out her manga and flicked through the pages, scanning the paragraphs.
"ah" she smiles.
"this one!" she shoves the manga in my hands and points to the paragraph.
i scanned the paragraph and my eyes widened.
"you want me to read tHAT?" i asked, flabbergasted.
she nodded gleefully.
i sighed and turned to taehyung.
"here goes" i said.
i cleared my throat.
"taehyung, how sexy and muscular you are, how much i want to force my lips onto yours. oh how i want to wrap my arms around your neck and tug at your hair. oh how i-"
jihyun and namjoon bursted out laughing while taehyung blushed red.
"what in tarnation do you read.." i stood up.
"THIS IS PURE SMUT" i screamed.
i threw the manga back to jihyun, my face becoming red of embarrassment.
taehyung gave me a sheepish smile in return.
"that was.. beautiful!" jihyun wheezed.
"jIHYUN, truth or dare" i asked.
"what you can't do that-"
"no fuck you"
she sighed.
"dare.." she replied in an annoyed tone.
i grinned evilly.
"perfect" i snickered.
-flashback end-
jihyun grumbled a few words before she stood up on the table.
"listen up!" she shouted, gaining everyone's attention.
"the fuck is she doing?"
"is this normal?"
"yes, it's jihyun so-"
"this one is for you jangmi" she smiled at the blonde girl at the back.
jihyun had this burning hate for this girl called jangmi.
she was that girl who looks like a messed up barbie that smoked and drank while banging a few dudes everyday.
she was also a bitch so there was nothing good about that girl.
jangmi stared at jihyun with a bitchy expression on her face.
taehyung was already snorting.
jihyun pulled out her phone and searched up the instrumental track of the song.
she cleared her throat.
"uh, fuck, i don't fuck with you!" she began.
everyone stared in shock, some covering their mouths.
"you lil stupid ass bitch, i ain't fuckin' with you!"
"you lil, you lil stupid ass bitch, i ain't fuckin' with you"
"i got a million, trillion things i'd rather fuckin' do"
"than to be fuckin' with you, lil stupid ass"
she kneeled down and fist bumped me.
people started to cheer and sing along while jangmi stared in anger and embarrassment.
jihyun did the whip and dabbed.
"i don't give a fuck, i don't give a fuck, i don't, i don't, i don't give a fuck, bitch, i don't give a fuck about you or anything that you do, don't give a fuck about you, or anything that you do"
she grabbed the apple off her tray and took a big bite out of it and aggressively started dancing.
i was laughing so hard that i was close to falling off my chair.
namjoon choked on his spaghetti while taehyung nearly spat out his water.
the lunch room roared with laughter and cheering, throwing money and singing along.
jangmi stood furiously at the back.
jihyun finished her song with a slut drop that made the crowd go wild.
"suck it jangmi, eat this shit" jihyun stuck up the middle finger and jumped off the table.
"oh mY gOd" i screeched.
-
"wow, how much money do you have" taehyung asked in curiosity.
"i got 44760.90 won" jihyun grinned.
we walked past the boy's bathroom as we saw jeon jungkook walk out.
"iNTERNATIONAL PLAYBOI" jihyun yelled.
jungkook rolled his eyes but smiled playfully after, a blush evident on his chubby cheeks.
"jihyun i swear" he laughed.
jihyun and jungkook were cousins who had the cutest bond.
it's pretty obvious from the surname.
namjoon and taehyung were also very close with him.
and so was i.
"i feel like i haven't seen you in ages, how's it been?" i slung an arm around his shoulders and ruffled his hair.
although i was shorter than him, height didn't matter at that moment.
"chaeyeonie, i saw you yesterday"
"yesterday was a long time ago, i missed you"
he shook his head and gave me a gentle squeeze, hugging me.
"i missed you too"
he let go before his eyes lit up.
"have you guys seen hyojong? i still need to pay him back for that cheeseburger he bought me" he asked, scratching his head.
"well-" jihyun pressed her lips into a thin line.
"didn't you know he went to jeju?" i lied quickly.
he raised an eyebrow.
"huh, didn't know that"
"yeahh" taehyung said.
the bell rang meaning lunch time was over.
"oof, gotta skidaddle, i have a science test" jungkook said.
"alrighty then, goodbye and good luck jeon cena" jihyun waved before we all went separate ways.
"the heck?" he frowned.
-
"why are we back here again?" jihyun groaned.
we were back in the forest, the kidnapper's favourite place to hide poor souls.
"we need to find hyojong duh" namjoon replied as if it was the most obvious thing.
jihyun huffed.
"i don't see anything suspicious" i shrugged.
"what about this?" taehyung asked.
"taehyung, that's a stick"
namjoon facepalmed.
we walked around some more but found nothing.
"guys, what was that noise-"
we heard leaves crunching from the opposite end of us.
we immediately turned around, our eyes squinting.
the crunching became louder and that's when we tensed.
jihyun stood infront of us, her fists clenching.
that when we saw a figure run at the speed of light coming towards us.
the figure crashed into me, making us both fall.
i looked up alarmed and stared into their eyes.
my eyes lit up with relief.
"hyojong!" i exclaimed.
the dishevelled being let out a happy sigh when he saw our faces.
he was covered in leafs and had muck on his face.
he looks like one of those people who puts on mud masks.
he had a few cuts and bruises on his legs and a long scar on his neck.
his bright blue contacts were untouched.
"o-oh my g-god, t-thank g-g-god you're h-here" he stuttered and breathed heavily.
namjoon kneeled down and put his hands on his shoulders.
"calm down" he said to hyojong.
hyojong listened to namjoon's instructions as his breathing slowed down.
taehyung took out a blanket and wrapped him in it.
"burrito hyojong!" jihyun cheered.
hyojong managed a crooked but charming smile on his face.
"so why were you running" i asked.
he snuggled into his blanket and sighed.
"some psycho kidnapped me at midnight yesterday and just now i was able to get out but he found me and started to run after me" he shivered.
"damn you must be hungry" i said.
his stomach rumbled right after.
"u-um yeah" he said, blushing lightly.
"i have a question" jihyun proclaimed.
"yes?" hyojong asked.
she cleared her throat.
"why were you outside at 12am?"
"jihyun-" namjoon started.
"i was getting fried chicken-"
"who gets fried chicken at 12-"
"don't come at me"
namjoon chuckled.
"let's get you back home" namjoon slung an arm around hyojong.
"actually" hyojong began.
"please take me to hyunah, i miss her so badly" he said shyly.
"aww bless your soul" jihyun cooed.
"where does she live?" taehyung asked.
"kkoch street, house 32" he replied.
"alrighty"
-
we knocked on hyunah's door.
the door opened, revealing a shocked hyunah.
"hyojong!" she exclaimed happily, wrapping her arms around him.
we smiled at the sweet moment.
"thank you guys so much!" hyunah jumped up and down.
"i knew you would find him" she continued.
"he actually found us" jihyun laughed.
hyunah wore a confused expression.
"he came crashing into me while we were looking for him in the forest" i replied, chuckling.
she burst out laughing.
"well that's something hyojong would do" she chuckled.
"oh!" she said.
"i need to treat you guys to fried chicken!"
-
we were walking back from the chicken place where hyunah treated us.
the chicken was so good.
"didn't we have something to do today?" jihyun tapped her chin.
"we have to meet hoseok" i said.
her eyes lit up.
"oh yeah!"
my phone began to ring.
it was an unknown number.
i furrow my eyebrows and pick it up.
"hello?"
"is this chaeyeon?"
"um, maybe?"
"it's hoseok"
"oh hoseok! how did you get my number?"
"..."
"hoseok?"
"no comment"
"alrighty then"
"anyways, can you guys come over now, i think something's gonna happen and it's pretty important"
his tone was dead serious.
"okay"
"see you there"
the line was cut off immediately.
"guys we gotta head to hoseok's, now" i said, tying the laces of my converses.
"huh? why?" jihyun asked.
"it's urgent apparently " i shrugged.
namjoon and taehyung jumped to their feet.
"let's go then"
-
"so what's up?" namjoon asked.
hoseok spun around in his chair.
"i found the dude's address but.." he began.
we stared at him.
"he found out" he gulped.
our eyes widened.
"how?!" jihyun exclaimed.
"that's not the worst part, he said he wants to meet us for a chat" he explained.
"he's the killer, guys" hoseok announced.
jihyun fell onto hoseok's sofa.
namjoon groaned.
taehyung gasped.
i sighed.
"i knew it" i whispered.
it was mr kang all along.
