You were sprawled across the couch with the rest of the members, the dorm unusually quiet for once. The hum of the air conditioner and the occasional sound of someone shifting in their seat was the only thing filling the silence.

Seung Hyun leaned back against the cushions, his long legs stretched out, and let out a low sigh. His deep, elegant voice suddenly broke the stillness. "Guys, I’m bored. Got any ideas?"

The room fell silent again for a moment. Jiyong, sitting cross-legged on the floor with his phone in hand, just shrugged without looking up. Taeyang glanced over from where he was leaning against the wall, arms folded, but didn’t offer a suggestion either.

Daesung’s eyes suddenly lit up, his grin contagious as he sat up straighter. "Let’s play games!" His cheerful tone immediately lifted the energy in the room.

Your head shot up at the idea, a smile tugging at your lips. "Games? I love games!" you said eagerly, already feeling the spark of excitement.

Jiyong finally set his phone down, glancing around at everyone with his usual laid-back smile. "Sure, I don’t mind," he said, his voice calm and smooth, though the spark in his eyes gave away that he was already plotting to win.

"I don’t mind playing too," Taeyang agreed, his calm, steady voice carrying that quiet competitiveness you knew always came out during games.

Seung Hyun’s serious expression softened into a mischievous grin as he sat forward. "Alright, then. Let’s play something classic."

A few minutes later, the living room was no longer quiet. Mario Kart flashed brightly on the TV screen, controllers clutched tightly in everyone’s hands. Daesung was already laughing at his own clumsy driving, while Jiyong leaned so far into the turns it was like his body thought it was part of the game. Taeyang kept a cool, focused look on his face, though you could tell from the way he pressed his buttons that he was just as invested as anyone.

Meanwhile, Seung Hyun was muttering under his breath every time a red shell hit him, his deep voice full of mock irritation. You, on the other hand, were caught between laughing at Daesung’s dramatic reactions and trying to keep up with Jiyong’s relentless speed.

The dorm, once so quiet, was now filled with laughter, playful trash talk, and the sound of Mario Kart chaos echoing through the night.
