i dare you ➳ chensung

♡

i stop at jaemin's house, locking my car and tugging at the collar of my jacket as i walk up to the door. he had invited all of us over to hang out on a rare friday night when we're all free. i walk up the steps, spotting jaemin's cat in the front window of his house. jeno is also standing right next to it, petting it enthusiastically despite his bad allergy to cats. i smile to myself. my friend group is composed of 8 people, including myself. to put it simply, we can get a bit... odd when we're all together.

i finally reach the entrance to jaemin's house and give the wooden door a few hard knocks, and it opens to reveal yukhei, with a wide grin on his face.
"hey, there's jisung! what took you so long?" he pulls me inside jaemin's house.

i make a face. "yukhei, i am literally-" i pause to glance at my watch. "-two minutes late."

he shrugs. "you're still late." he grins again, and leads me into jaemin's living room, which held the rest of my friends who were all conversing together. one of my friends, chenle, sitting in the loveseat by himself, noticeably perks up a bit when i enter the room, and he moves over a little in his seat and looks at me expectantly.

chenle and i are probably the closest in our squad, besides renjun, jaemin, and jeno, who are all probably secretly dating, honestly. when yukhei first introduced me to all of them back in seventh grade year, chenle and i hit it off really well and we've just been getting closer since. he was new to our school and couldn't understand most of the stuff i said, but we stuck together nonetheless.

i give chenle a small grin and walk over to where he was sitting, and he broke into a smile.

okay, not to be gay, but chenle has literally the cutest smile. i dunno, he looks so pure and adorable it makes me want to pinch his cheeks or kiss him or something.

anyway, i sit down beside him, and he kicks his legs over mine while still grinning at me, his calves resting on my thighs.

donghyuck, who i hadn't noticed until just now despite him sitting right next us on the floor, claps his hands together to get our attention. "now, since everyone is here, let's begin tonight with a nice casual game of," he smirks mischievously and clasps his hands together, "truth or dare."

we all gasp dramatically. the game of truth or dare was definitely not to be taken lightly. some weird stuff goes down when we play it. i remember once mark had to dress in drag and serenade the neighbors with shinee's "replay" on the back of yukhei's pickup truck while they drove around for a whole 15 minutes. we're not to be brushed off as some friend group playing a simple game of truth or dare. and, as much as i love my friends, most of the time nothing good comes out of our truth or dare games. i'm not saying we force each other to do stuff, but we kinda do. but that doesn't make them any less fun.

mark looks up from his phone. "anyone who opposes say i."

the room is silent.

"so be it, then-" donghyuck clasps his hands together. "let the game begin."

we're all already sort of in a circle, so jaemin, being the host, decides he goes first. the game begins.
with a bit of a devilish grin, he turns to his left.
"yukhei, truth or dare?" yukhei chooses dare without missing a beat.

jaemin ponders for a moment. "i dare you to lick the floor." he gestures at the old rug covering the floor of the room.

yukhei just grins, and leans down to dramatically, and sort of seductively, lick the rug, not breaking eye contact with jaemin. jaemin stares back, laughing to himself, a slight disgusted expression on his face. yukhei sits back up and winks at jaemin, laughing loudly and spluttering immediately after. "your rug is gross!!"
