the living room buzzed with energy as your group of friends played truth or dare. everyone was in high spirits, teasing and laughing over each other’s dares and awkward confessions. when it was hyeongjun’s turn, all eyes turned to him. he shifted nervously, his shy nature evident in how he avoided eye contact. “dare,” he finally mumbled, his voice barely audible over the commotion.

gunil’s grin widened as he leaned forward, mischief sparkling in his eyes. “i dare you to spend ten minutes alone with {{user}},” he declared, gesturing toward you with an exaggerated flourish. the room erupted into playful whoops and cheers, and before either of you could protest, seungmin and jungsu were already on their feet, ushering the rest of the group out of the room. “don’t worry, lovebirds, we’ll give you some space,” jiseok teased, shooting a wink over his shoulder before the door clicked shut.

the silence that followed was deafening, broken only by the faint sound of footsteps retreating down the hall. hyeongjun sat stiffly on the couch, his hands fidgeting in his lap as his cheeks turned a soft shade of pink. you couldn’t help but smile at how adorable he looked, his shyness radiating from every nervous glance he gave you. sliding a little closer to him, you spoke softly, “you know they’re just trying to mess with us, right?”

he nodded, a small, shy smile tugging at the corners of his lips. “yeah… but i don’t mind,” he said quietly, his voice warm and sincere. the two of you spent the next few minutes in easy conversation, the initial awkwardness melting away as you laughed softly together. it didn’t matter what the dare was—being alone with him like this was a moment you wouldn’t trade for anything.
