"What is this?" Nara said as she entered the Men's Room. Jeno, Jaemin, Cai, Renjun, Haechan, Mark, Yangyang, Elias, James, Jisung and Chenle were inside. There were various bowls of snacks like pretzels, popcorn, chips, and gummies around the room. The items that caught Nara's attention though was the bottles of juice and hard liquor sitting in the middle, glasses around them.
The boys were dressed in their pyjamas, from Mark's t-shirts and shorts to the prince's silk tops and bottoms. Nara noticed that Jeno was wearing a cotton grey pyjama set, his bangs covering his face and round glasses sitting on his nose.
Nara herself was wearing her own peach coloured silk nightgown which was a lot shorter that she would have liked so she also wore a matching robe on top to cover herself. Unfortunately, that still didn't prevent the stares she got as she entered, knowing that all the boys had scanned her body with their eyes as she went to take a seat at the empty space between Jeno and Jaemin.
"I asked the maids to prepare this for us and I don't think they really mind. The Men's Room is decently far from where the others are sleeping anyways." Jaemin said, picking up one of the bottles of alcohol.
"We're going to play a game." Cai informed her as he grabbed the juice. "A drinking game."
"You dropped the accent." Nara said, making the room laugh.
"I let him, it's a blessing for all of us." Jaemin said pouring the contents of his bottle in a glass before passing it to Cai to mix.
"Jisung's underage though." Nara pointed out just as the young boy yawned.
"Chenle and I were just about to leave anyways. We were just here for some snacks." Jisung said as he got up with Chenle. The two boys wished them all goodnight before leaving.
Soon, every person in the room had a glass in front of them, filled with the concoction Jaemin and Cai had created.
"The rules are simple. We spin the empty bottle in the middle and if it lands on you, the person that spun it gets to ask you a question. If you don't want to answer it, you drink." Jaemin explained.
"Can't be that bad." Nara said as she reached for a chip. Jeno picked the bowl up, moving it closer to her.
"Yet for some reason, I'm terrified." Jeno said, just loud enough for Nara to hear. She couldn't help but chuckle as Cai reached forward to spin the bottle. Just Nara's luck, it landed on her.
"Nara, who's your favourite out of all the Selected?" Cai asked with eager eyes. She noticed the other boys lean forward too, wanting to hear her answer.
"What, you can't asked that!" Nara whined.
"I'm not one of your Selected so you can't kick me out." Cai said, a grin on his face.
"I can't answer that." Nara said with a pout.
"Guess you have to drink." Jeno said, passing her her glass as everyone else laughed. Nara shot him a glare as she took a sip before reaching forward to spin the bottle.
"You better hope it doesn't end up landing on you." Nara said, eyeing Cai as he gave Jaemin a high five. It landed on Jaemin.
"Tell everyone about the last time you pissed your pants." Nara said, feeling proud as Jaemin immediately picked up his glass.
"Aw come on, it wasn't even that bad of a question." Renjun whined as Jaemin shot him a glare.
"Say that again and if the bottle lands on you, I'm asking you the same question." Jaemin threatened as he spun the bottle. It landed on Renjun, a curse escaping his mouth.
"I'm drinking, relax." Renjun said, being the glass to his lips.
...
It was getting late into the night and Nara could tell that the alcohol was getting to them. Haechan had already called it a night, Mark and James heading out with him. Yangyang had just called it too, leaving with Elias and Renjun, leaving Nara with Jeno, Jaemin, and Cai.
"Let's stop." Cai said, picking the bottle up from the middle of the room and placing it on one of the tables. Jaemin let out a big yawn.
"Tired?" Jeno asked him. Jaemin shook his head but another yawn escaped his lips.
"Well I am, so I'm going to head to my room and drag this one too." Cai said, getting up. Nara and Jeno let put small chuckles as he put Jaemin's arm over his shoulders, dragging him out of the Men's Room.
Jeno and Nara were both sitting on one of the couches. Nara had her knees tucked to her chest, her back against the arm rest as Jeno sat beside her. Jeno scooted closer so his legs were at her feet. Nara brought her knees closer to her body to give him more space.
"Isn't that uncomfortable?" Jeno said, referring to her position. Nara shrugged her shoulders.
"I just wanted to give you more space." Nara told him. Jeno seemed to hesitate for a second before grabbing her legs, extending them over his lap.
"Better?" Jeno asked, resting on arm over her legs, the other around the back of the couch. Nara adjusted her position a bit, but she had to admit, it was nicer to extend her legs.
"Yeah." Jeno began tapping his knee, as if he was deep in thought.
"So you're eliminating the Selected down to six now?" Jeno asked. Nara nodded.
"I think it's better that way anyways, since I get to focus more on the six boys instead of fourteen." Nara told him.
"That's understandable." Jeno said. Jeno leaned his head back, nose up to the ceiling as he closed his eyes. With his body so close to hers and the alcohol pumping through her veins, Nara couldn't help but reach out, brushing her fingers along his sharp jawline. Jeno eyes fluttered open at the touch, staring into hers.
"Nara." Jeno said as he realized how close her face was to his.
"Shh." Nara whispered as she cupped his chin in her hand. She felt Jeno's arms wrap around her waist as she continued to lean forward, his eyes closing at the last second as she placed his lips on his.
The kiss was sloppy and awkward at first, both of them trying to find the right rhythm to match the other but soon, the awkwardness faded and it was just the softness of one another. The kiss was sweet and pure and soon, Nara's head was resting on Jeno's forehead, both still breathing heavily.
Nara suddenly felt embarrassed as she realized that she had probably done a terrible job in comparison to the experienced movie actresses Jeno had probably kissed before. She immediately separated herself from him, returning to her original position with her legs tucked in, burying her face in her knees.
"Wow, was I that bad?" Jeno said half jokingly. Nara shook her head.
"I'm just embarrassed." Nara mumbled but Jeno couldn't hear her.
"I'm sorry, what?" Jeno asked. Nara sighed, lifting her head.
"I'm just a little embarrassed." Nara admitted. "You've probably had better kisses with movie stars."
Jeno let out a chuckle as he shook his head, moving closer to her. "You shouldn't be."
Nara looked up at the boy who was surprisingly close to her. Jeno tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, leaving his hand on the back of her head as he leaned in and placed a soft kiss on her lips.
"Our first kiss was perfect."
