the air conditioner blew cool air into the dorm, despite the winter weather relentlessly battering them. the night sky did anything but twinkle, it stayed a solid deep blue, almost black.

the living room carpet was comfortable on her legs even without the blanket draping over them. "kura, it's your turn. go," yeonjun said, snapping a finger in her face.

quickly gathering her surroundings, she realized it had gotten back to her. the group was playing uno, the first game of many to come. with nothing better to do, they decided to have a game night. whoever won most of the games would win.... something.

she looked at the red seven, and put down a green seven. she was in the lead, but definitely not legally. she was sitting on a few of her cards. she didn't know how all five men didn't see her shove cards behind her, but she didn't mind. she appreciated their cluelessness.

despite the cheerful circumstances, she still felt a little sad. the feeling was always there, like an annoying bug that doesn't go away. but it wasn't just a bug, it was an endless pit in her stomach that made her want to cry. she couldn't understand why she started feeling like this. she wasn't a very energetic person, but she was always happy. what happened to that?

she realized that playing uno is not the time to overthink. she just watched as the group went in a circle, adding more and more plus fours. she locked through the cards in her hand, and her smile fell.

she made eye contact with the five men, and took twenty whole cards. "fuck all of you," she grumbled as they continued to laugh at her. she rolled her eyes but could not help but giggle. she was cheating but was in dead last. how ironic!

the game ended shortly after, soobin had won. she, embarrassed, got up and tried her best to secretly put back the cards she had hidden. to no avail, beomgyu had caught her. his mouth hung wide open, and she mouthed for him to "shut the fuck up."

he rolled his eyes but compiled, mouthing back an "you owe me." happy her actions were let go, she impatiently waited for the boys to choose the next game.

they weren't able to decide anything without banter, she had learned that she's ago. she wasn't surprised when taehyun kept ripping a game of 'sorry' out of hueningkai's hands just for the younger to take it back.

"kura!" taehyun called, motioning for her to come closer. she did as told, crawling to the other  side of the living room where the two youngest sat. in front of them were multiple games. more than she had ever seen at once, that was for sure.

"sorry or life?" they asked at the same time. they both glared at her to choose what game they wanted, she felt the cold from their eyes in her bones. or maybe it was just the air conditioner.

she thought for a moment, looking away from the two's convincing stares. "life," she finally decided. she watched her boyfriend groan and her best friend cheer. funny.

"can't believe you betrayed me, your own boyfriend. fuck you," he said, trying to keep a straight face. "i wish," she spoke through a dreamy sigh. "ew!" yeonjun shouted, watching the couple in disgust.

she simply laughed and chose her character for the game they were about to start playing. she waited patiently for her turn and realized that there was no easy way to win, something she prayed for whenever she was doing anything. just an easy way out.

the game took a long time, but the girl was grateful nonetheless. at least they weren't playing monopoly. as the game of life came to and end ( she wished it was her real life ending ) soobin began teasing her for being, once again, in dead last.

she smiled and sweetly responded, "go fuck yourself," in japanese. in a state of confusion, the leader looked around at the others for any sort of reaction. "what did she say?" he was met with shrugs.

he looked at her with pleading puppy eyes, "just tell me what you said!" she shook her head no, but gave in almost as quickly as she denied the initial request. "i said 'i wish i was that good,'" she lied.

he rolled his eyes, "you did not," he empathized not, "say that. you aren't that good of a person. fucking sore loser." she gasped, "fine, i said 'go fuck yourself' and honestly i think it's justified, asshole." their fight was quickly broken up by a genuinely concerned huening. she couldn't help but smile.

the japanese got up from her seat, striding into the kitchen. "what do you guys want to eat?" she yelled from the separate room, busying herself while the others decided on the next game.

she was met with a collective unintelligible murmur, everyone saying what they wanted at the same time. she chose to just go with popcorn, you couldn't really go wrong with that, right?

she sighed, you could definitely go wrong with that. she took the burnt popcorn out of the microwave and frowned. she wasn't the best cook, she knew that, her cooking skills were anything but good. still, fucking up something as simple as microwaved popcorn hurt her pride a little.

she tossed the popcorn aside, and opened the fridge to find something already made. she picked up a fruit bowl and brought it to the boys. they were sat in their previous seats, but this time a container of spot it was in the middle.

placing the fruit tray on the coffee table, she settled in her space. she took the lead almost instantly. she let her pride get to the best of her, however. as immediately after she teased "im too fucking good, you guys suck," she was once again, left in dead last.

she sighed, as the boys laughed at her oh-so familiar circumstance. maybe board games just weren't for her.

LANA HAS SOMETHING TO SAY!
