A little game of truth or dare leads to a cute confession. This one's cute, I promise.

~~~

The room was filled with laughter and the faint scent of snacks scattered across the coffee table. It had been a long week, and the boys were taking a well-earned break. A spontaneous game of truth or dare had somehow become the highlight of their evening, with everyone taking turns to answer outrageous questions or perform ridiculous tasks.

It was Jungkook’s turn.

“Truth or dare?” Taehyung asked, leaning forward, his boxy smile showing he was up to no good.

Jungkook hesitated, his eyes narrowing. “Uh… truth?”

The room erupted into boos.

"Aww, come on Jungkook!" Hoseok complained, whining.

Taehyung grinned devilishly. “Alright, Jungkook, do you have a crush on someone? If yes, who?”

Jungkook froze, his face turning a deep shade of red. “Uh…” He looked around, suddenly feeling like a deer caught in headlights. Everyone’s eyes were on him, waiting eagerly.

“Well?” Namjoon asked, smirking. “The question’s pretty straightforward.”

“I…” Jungkook stammered, his hands fidgeting with the hem of his hoodie. “I change it to dare!”

A collective groan filled the room, followed by Hoseok dramatically falling back on the couch. “You can’t do that!”

“It’s the rules,” Jin said, though he was laughing. “He’s allowed to change it.”

Taehyung, however, wasn’t one to let things slide. His eyes sparkled with mischief as he said, “Fine. I dare you to text your crush, ‘I love you.’”

“What?!” Jungkook exclaimed, his voice rising an octave. “No way!”

Jimin, who had been sitting quietly next to Taehyung, raised an eyebrow, a small amused smile playing on his lips. “Why not, Kook? It’s fun.”

“Fun?” Jungkook spluttered, his ears burning. “That’s… for you, maybe! Not for me.”

“Exactly why it’s a good dare,” Yoongi said, leaning back with a smirk.

Jungkook shook his head furiously, crossing his arms. “Nope. Not doing it.”

The denial only fueled their curiosity. Taehyung leaned in, narrowing his eyes playfully. “So, who is it? Someone we know?”

“Maybe it’s a celebrity crush,” Hoseok teased.

“Or someone from staff,” Namjoon added, laughing.

“Guys, stop!” Jungkook whined, covering his face with his hands. His heart pounded in his chest, and he silently cursed Taehyung for putting him in this position.

“Alright, fine. You don’t have to text them, but at least give us a hint.” Taehyung said, grinning wide.

“Yeah!” Jin chimed in. “Is it someone we know? Someone in this room?”

Jungkook’s heart nearly stopped. He swallowed hard, his palms clammy. “I’m not saying anything!”

Yoongi raised an eyebrow. “So, it is someone in this room?”

“No!” Jungkook said quickly, a little too quickly.

The room fell silent for a moment, and then Taehyung gasped dramatically, his eyes darting to Jimin. “Wait a minute… is it Jimin?”

“What?” Jimin blinked, looking genuinely surprised. “Why me?”

Jungkook’s reaction was instantaneous and completely incriminating. He choked on air, his eyes wide, and his face turned a deeper shade of red. “W-What are you talking about?! No! Absolutely not!”

Taehyung burst out laughing. “Oh my God, it is Jimin!”

The others followed suit, their laughter filling the room. Jimin, for his part, looked more amused than anything else, though a faint blush crept up his neck.

“Guys, stop it!” Jungkook groaned, burying his face in a pillow. “You’re embarrassing me!”

“You’re the one with the crush on Jiminie!” Hoseok teased, nudging him.

“Alright, alright, leave him alone,” Namjoon finally said, trying to calm the chaos, though he was smiling.

But the damage was done. Jimin glanced at Jungkook, who was now practically melting into the couch. “Jungkook,” he said softly, his tone kind.

Jungkook peeked out from behind the pillow, his eyes hesitant. “What?”

“Is it true?” Jimin asked, his voice gentle, no trace of teasing. “Do you… like me?”

The room grew quiet, the other members suddenly realizing this wasn’t a joke anymore.

All eyes were on Jungkook.

“I…” Jungkook hesitated, his hands clutching the pillow tightly. He took a deep breath, his voice barely a whisper. “Yes.”

Jimin’s eyes softened, a small smile tugging at his lips. “Why didn’t you just tell me?”

Jungkook looked up, surprised. “What?”

“I like you too, Jungkook,” Jimin said simply, his cheeks dusted with pink. “I have for a while.”

The room erupted into chaos again, but this time it was full of cheers and whistles and Namjoon shushing everyone with a "stop yelling, calm your asses!"

Jungkook stared at Jimin, his heart racing. “You… you do?”

Jimin nodded, reaching over to ruffle Jungkook’s hair. “Of course I do, silly.”

Jungkook’s face broke into a shy smile, his earlier embarrassment melting away.

The rest of the night was filled with teasing and laughter, but Jungkook didn’t mind.

The end!
