Chapter 5: Never Have I Ever

"Oh!" I reply, my cheeks heating at the idea of never knowing this before. 'I thought her brother went to a different school. There was never a junior who knew this awful information about them. She just didn't like them.' "I'm embarrassed to say I never knew that." "Really? They even look alike," Jin points out, reaching over and poking Hoseok right on his plush cheek. They all let out a small chuckle at Hoseok and Jiwoo's faces. "Alright alright, lets play a game," Tae announces, finishing off his beer and placing it on the alcohol filled table. "Oh no," Jimin murmurs to me on my other side while sipping his bottle of beer. "Games with Tae never end up with sober contestants." "Noted," I reply, not taking my eyes off of the black haired boy beside me. "Never have I ever; everyone here," he explains, taking a bottle of vodka and pouring each of us drinks into 9 clear crystals. "You must drink if you have or else I'll find out." "Weirdo," Jin scoffs, resting his elbows on his knees, making sure to give the game his full attention. I couldn't help but notice the amount each were drinking and how sober they still appeared. Me having a never drink in my life would not survive one sip. Although, out of all of them, Yoongi was drinking the heaviest.     "What is said in the circle stays in the circle," Tae adds as we each grab our glasses filled with the burning liquid. "I'll go first. Let's start easy: never have I ever made out with someone under the bleachers during school."     All of them drink except Jiwoo and I. My face burned with embarrassment. Jimin noticed this and went wide eyed after taking his share of the drink.     "You're kidding! Was middle school really that strict?" He asks, the feeling of Tae's eyes on me as I stood with a filled glass.     "I suppose," I shrug while giving him a weak laugh.      "Namjoon, you're turn," Tae coughs at the harsh liquid that I was glad didn't go down my throat.      Namjoon purses his lips in thought. "I wanna do one where Dea drinks," he winks, Jungkook playfully punching him in the shoulder afterwards. "Alright alright, never have I ever dated more than 3 people in my life," he says, taking a sip, along with the rest of them. He almost spit it all out at the sight of me not bringing the glass to my lips. "Damn, your life must be boring."     "Shut up, you asshole. At least she won't be the one to throw up at 2 am," Jungkook again defends as Yoongi leans forward at his turn.      "We'll see about that," he says, his almond eyes focused on me as he swirls the contents in his glass. Everyone stops chatting to hear what he had to say, his smug smirk not easing my pounding heart either. "Never have I ever found someone in this circle attractive."      Everyone exchanges looks, seeing who was gonna drink after that statement. I watch as Jiwoo, Jungkook, Jimin, Jin, and Tae all slowly raise their glass to their lips. Yoongi watches proudly in his spot as I also raise my drink. 'I hope Tae doesn't notice.'     The clear liquid burned my throat as he traveled all the way down to my stomach. I let out a few coughs at the fire in my mouth. 'Why do propel drink this? It's awful!'     "Jin? Who the hell did you find attractive?" Namjoon laughs as Jin also chuckles before wrapping an arm around the tall blonde.     "Oh come on. I can't help but love your sexy brain," he gazes intently into Namjoon's eyes as everyone else let's out roars of laughter. He pushes the goofy friend away, shaking his head with a smile on his face.      "Jimin? You too?" Tae points out as Jimin turns to Jiwoo who's eyes widen at his action. "Oh geez."     "Hey now! Not my sister," Hoseok objects as Jimin blushes as well as Jiwoo. "Don't tell Rose. She'll have your head for that." As everyone laughs at the two, I see Yoongi take a sip of the vodka out of the corner of my eye before setting it down. 'Did he just drink to his own question? Who did he find attractive?'     "Where are those girls anyways?" Yoongi clears his throat, looking around to make sure no one saw him drink. 'What are you up to?' He then gets up, excusing himself as he does so.     "Since when does he care?" Jimin scoffs as he opens himself another beer.      "New game. Truth or dare, Dea?" Hoseok asks, my eyes glancing back to him as Yoongi's presence left the room.      "Um...dare, I guess," I reply, his toothy grin widen.      "Stop it, Hoseok," Jiwoo mutters to her brother who just shrugs before saying, "I dare you to drink that whole glass."     "Oooooh," Tae hisses at the dare while I stare at the liquid aching to burn my throat once again. "That's a bit far, don't you think, Hoseok?"     "No," I immediately say. His head turns to face me before shooting the whole glass. I was sick of being treated like a kid by these guys. I could be hardcore. If I was to impress Tae, this would have to be a start. "See? Easy."     I hear Jimin let out a snort of laughter while Tae bites his bottom lip nervously. Just then, Yoongi returns, his hands stuffed into his pockets before plopping back down in his open spot. As he does so though, four familiar girls walk in with seductive eyes towards the boys they liked.      "Hey, oppa," Lisa whispers to Namjoon, straddling onto his lap as she did so. They envelope in a kiss that got the boys on either side to scoot away in disgust. Jennie wraps her arms around Yoongi from behind while Rose kisses Jimin and Jisoo tries to envelope Tae beside me. Before she could though, he stands up, shooting his vodka as he does so. "I'll be right back," he announces, setting his glass down as Jisoo pushes her bottom lip out in a pout. "C'mon, Dea," he adds, taking my hand in his larger one and pulling me up from my seat and away from the crowd.
