Yeosang stared at the bottle in his hand, beer half way gone and his friends playing a game he didn't care enough to focus on. He turned his focus on Seonghwa, the older sitting next to him and laughing with Hongjoong about something San said.

Yeosang lifted his hand and cupped Seonghwa's face, turning his head to his side and kissed him, then pressed the bottle on his lips and lifted the bottle. Letting Seonghwa drink a sip.

"Yeosang, truth or dare?" Yunho asked, giggling and smiley after another shot. Yeosang kissed Seonghwa again, making two with his fingers instead of answering verbally, then gently pushed Seonghwa to lean back against the couch.

"He's gone for sure," Hongjoong whispered to Mingi, giggling at the way Seonghwa melted at Yeosang's touch. Quiet moans escaped Seonghwa's lips as he leaned back, a blissful expression painting his face. Yeosang’s kisses were intoxicating, each one sending a thrill through him that warmed him from the inside out.

"Come on, Yeosang!" Yunho insisted, a playful glint in his eyes. "You can't dodge truth or dare forever!"

Yeosang shrugged, not stopping with the kisses as he dipped down to trail soft pecks along Seonghwa's jawline. Each brush of his lips elicited faint whimpers from the older boy, deepening the haze that surrounded them both. The laughter from their friends faded into the background, becoming mere white noise against the melody of Seonghwa's breaths, quickening in warmth.

“Fine, fine,” Yeosang relented, finally pulling away just enough to regard Yunho, his brow raising in mock innocence. “Truth, then. What secret could you possibly want to know?”

“Hmm…” Yunho tapped his chin, pretending to ponder deeply. “What’s your biggest crush?”

Yeosang grinned, glancing down at Seonghwa, who was still catching his breath, eyes wide with curiosity. “Oh, that’s easy,” he said, his voice playful yet earnest. He leaned forward again, gently biting Seonghwa’s lower lip before whispering just loud enough for everyone to hear, “It’s sitting right next to me.”

A chorus of exaggerated ‘ooohs’ and laughter erupted from the group, and Seonghwa flushed a deep red, a mix of surprise and delight painting his features. His heart raced as he met Yeosang's mischievous gaze.

“Alright, alright! It’s your turn now,” Mingi chimed in, clapping his hands together. “Yeosang, truth or dare?”

Yeosang smirked, the light in his eyes sparkling with mischief. “Dare.”

Mingi leaned in conspiratorially, breaking into a grin. “I dare you to kiss Seonghwa like you mean it, right here, right now.”

The room erupted with cheers and playful boos, but Yeosang’s grin only widened. He met Seonghwa’s gaze, who looked a mixture of shy and excited, and leaned in again, this time letting the kiss linger longer, pouring all of his emotions into the moment. The noise around them faded completely as he lost himself in the sweetness of Seonghwa’s lips.

Seonghwa moaned softly into the kiss, hands instinctively finding Yeosang’s hair, pulling him closer. The warmth of the group around them faded away as they both sunk deeper into each other.

When they finally pulled away, breathless and on the brink of laughter, the atmosphere shifted slightly. Hongjoong jumped to his feet, a wide grin splitting his face. “Okay, who wants to get the next round?” The suggestion broke the lingering spell, and Yeosang chuckled, hiding his face into Seonghwa's shoulder, still giddy from the kiss.

Yeosang leaned back again, cheek resting against Seonghwa, feeling the older boy's heartbeat beneath the quiet hum of the continuing party. In this moment, surrounded by friends and laughter, he knew there was nowhere he’d rather be.
