((06))

a/n: I changed the ending of the last chapter so if you haven't read it yet I suggest you go back and read. If you have already read it, then you may proceed.

We sat in a circle in the middle of the living room. The sofas and the table had been pushed to the side to make room for the nine of us.

"Let's start!" Jackson shouted -- it was probably his default volume -- and placed an empty soju bottle in the middle of the circle before sitting down in between Yugyeom and JB.

"I thought this was Truth or Dare, not Spin the Bottle," Kasey commented and I agreed.

"Well, how else are we going to choose a victim?" Jackson replied in a duh tone.

JB, who seemed almost uninterested in playing, said something in Korean. Yugyeom shot his hand up and went on to the middle and spun the bottle.

The bottle slowed and came to a stop, pointing to none other than our very own Jackson Wang.

His mouth dropped open and I laughed. "You wanted to play this game, so you get to ge the first victim," I said.

He recovered from the aurprise and grinned. "Okay. Alright. I choose Dare."

BamBam snickered and whispered something to Youngjae. The two burst out laughing and Youngjae attempted to speak through his laughter. I caught the words Yugyeom, sexy and dance and laughed along with the others. Well, everyone except Yugyeom.

Jackson snorted. "Easy," he scoffed and got up. He stood in front of Yugyeom and started dancing. The maknae yelped and I couldn't hold in the laughter as he begged his hyung to stop.

After a few more body rolls and pelvic thrusts from Jackson, I had to catch my breath from all the laughter. I felt bad for Yugyeom, though. Poor guy looked as if he was scarred for life.

Jackson was done with the dare and he went in, capturing their youngest member in an embrace. Yugyeom cried out as he struggled to get out of Jackson's grip. Since Mark was sitting right next to Yugyeom, he had to move a little closer to me so he wouldn't get hit by the maknae's flailing limbs.

BamBam, the mastermind of this prank, was laughing.

"So, while these two are having their moment, who wants to spin?" I cut in.

It was Junior who spun the bottle next. Jackson let go of Yugyeom and plopped back down to his spot, sending the latter a wink to which Yugyeom returned with a glare.

My smile was wiped clean from my face when the bottle decided I was next.

"Shit," I mumbled.

Kasey was grinning quite wickedly. "So, Skye, truth or dare?"

I chose truth.

"We've been friends since we were both moved into our college dorms," she started and I had a feeling I knew where she was going with this. "I think the first thing I noticed about your side of the room was the huge ass poster of your favorite kpop group."

"Just ask your question, Kase," I demanded with an eyeroll.

She chuckled. "I'm just a little confused now as to who is really your favorite member. Lately, I've noticed the one you like is different from the one you fangirl over the most."

I was getting annoyed and was about to tel her to just ask me her question when Jackson piped in.

"Wait, her bias isn't BamBam?" Fuck you, Jackson.

You, too, Kasey. I sent her a glare, and she just smiled ever so innocently.

"As a fan of Got7, no. BamBam isn't her fave," Kasey confirmed. I subtly put my hand up and flipped her the bird.

"It's probably Mark. BamBam did say Skylar used to think he was cute," Jackson said. I couldn't tell if I was more annoyed with Kasey or Jackson. I mean, who goes around exposing secrets like that!

"It's not Mark," I said, cutting in on the conversation. "And stop talking as if I'm not here. I'm also still waiting for my question."

"Okay. So if it's not Mark, then who is your bias in Got7?"

All eyes were on me. Shit. Were they all so curious? Even BamBam was watching me intently, waiting for my answer. Dammit.

I mumbled my answer, rubbing the back of my neck awkwardly. I refused to even look at them. Especially him, the guy whose name I just uttered. So. Awkward.

"What was that?"

I inhaled deeply and gathered my confidence. "It's JB."

Surprised. That was the only word I would use to describe their faces -- except for Kasey since she already knew -- and then seconds later everyone was teasing me and JB. I didn't have it in me to look in BamBam's direction.

Kasey was imitating how I fangirl over JB that one time when the teasers for one of their comebacks came out.  I remembered that moment. It was their first comeback since I started college.

Kasey and I were in our room. I was on my bed, using my laptop, while she was doing one of her projects. Got7 had just released their MV teaser and I wanted to check it out.

Basically it was a normal -- could it even be called that? -- fangirling scenario with the strangled screaming sound and spazzing. I fangirled so hard when JB's face showed on the screen and I fell backwards off of my bed. Not to mention the time the actual music video came out. My most embarrassing fangirl moments, Kasey was there to witness it all.

I managed a quick glance at JB, just to see his reaction, and I noticed where his gaze was. JB looked uneasy as he looked at BamBam and my eyes drifted to the Thai boy.

BamBam... Well, I couldn't tell anything from his expression. Before I could actually try to figure it out, I forced myself to look away.

"So, who's spinning next?" I called, getting everyone's attention.

No one said anything as BamBam went to spin the bottle.

It might have been easy for the others but I couldn't ignore the awkwardness. I avoided looking in BamBam's direction, even when the bottle stopped spinning and pointed at Youngjae.

The game went on and almost everyone had a turn -- Jackson was the unlucky soul more than once -- and I barely paid attention to what was happening. That is, until the bottle pointed at BamBam.

I was just going to mind my business until I realized Yugyeom was looking from me to BamBam. He shouted something in Korean, and I was sure I heard my name thrown in there. It was most likely some sort of revenge for Jackson's dare earlier.

BamBam shook his head. "No," he said in Korean. I felt a pang in my chest until I heard Mark agree with him. Then I realized that BamBam hadn't chosen Truth.

He was saying no to the dare.

So, what was the dare Yugyeom came up with?

"Can't you guys speak English? I'm pretty sure I heard my name, and I wanna know what this is about," I said.

"He dared me to kiss you," BamBam answered almost immediately.

I froze, the words still sinking in. And then I blew up.

"What the fuck? No!" I yelled. Mark put a hand on my shoulder and muttered something in Korean to Yugyeom. Hopefully he was saying that that would not be a good idea.

Yugyeom sighed, and I guess he realized that.

The maknae said something else to BamBam and this time BamBam nodded. Mark then told me that since BamBam refused to do the dare, that he would have to choose Truth now. I nodded, relieved.

"Why do you not want to kiss Skylar?" Yugyeom asked. He spoke in English for mine and Kasey's sake, I guess, but I wished he had spoken in Korean.

BamBam wasn't looking at anyone. He kept his head down when he answered. "Because she wants to kiss JB."

Well, that answer was unexpected. I swear I tried to hold in my laughter. I just couldn't.

"Why are you laughing?" BamBam asked, a hint of something in his tone. I stopped laughing and I could se his face clearly. He did not look amused.

I don't know what had gotten into me that I actually replied to him.

"The thought that you think that just because I fangirl over him that I would consider dating him," I said before turning to JB. "No offense. I mean, if I didn't know you personally then I would." He just gave a nod in response.

"But you also don't want to kiss me," BamBam said, gaining all of my attention now.

"And you know why."

"No, I don't," he said.

Suddenly it was as if it was just the two of us in the room. I had forgotten that everyone else was still there, watching us.

"You really don't know?" I questioned, voice raised.

He also decided to raise his voice. "Because you're avoiding me! I just felt awkward at first but then you're always with hyung. You stay far away from me as possible. I try to get your attention, and I try to talk with you. You're the one who keeps running away!"

And that was the end of the game. I had stormed back to the room first, leaving the door unlocked for Kasey. When she did come into the room, it was just silence filling the air.

She probably didn't know what to say, and really I was to tired to even say anything.

I was already under the blanket, ready to get some sleep, when I heard Kasey speak.

"Skye? You still awake?"

I still kept my eyes closed as I mumbled a response.

It took a while before she said anything else, maybe she couldn't find the right words.

"I really think you and BamBam should talk." She spoke in a soft voice. "This is really getting out of hand."

I didn't reply, letting her think I was already asleep.

"Skye?" She sighed. "Good night, then."
