him.
    Tae Hyun regarded her, puzzled as to what she was doing. Unable to hide his curiosity, he said, “What are you – ”  
    “Read between the lines, buddy,” Yoori enlightened tersely, holding her three fingers higher in view. 
    Tae Hyun’s eyes lit in amazement. He laughed in astonishment when he realized that she was subtly   flipping him off . 
    He nodded, giving credit where credit was due. “Nice.”  
    “I’m glad we understand each other,” Yoori said proudly. She was pleased that she got her point across in not wanting to be reminded of her arch nemesis—the stupid ducks. “Now hurry up and play!”  
    Tae Hyun expelled a sigh and drew himself over to Yoori. As he walked, a swell of inspiration glazed over his eyes. Almost instantly, his bored demeanor transformed into an excited one.  
    “I call the name of the game,” he announced, rushing to sit down when he realized he could get something out of it. His eyes were already twinkling with sneakiness.  
    Yoori regarded him with open suspicion. “What’s the game?” she cautiously asked before allowing herself to concur.  
    “‘ Never Have I Ever .’” He smiled innocently at her before adding, “By the way, it’s this game or no game at all. So please choose between your many options wisely.” 
    Yoori twiddled her fingers uncertainly. She took a second to think things over and then nodded slowly. Whatever. She wanted to have some fun. The game sounded harmless enough.
    “Okay, okay. Let’s play it,” Yoori conceded, wanting to spice up their night. They each began to pour alcohol into each other’s shot glasses. Still feeling a bit bitter from his teases about her and the ducks, Yoori found herself absentmindedly adding, “Mine would’ve been more fun though.”
    “What would’ve been your game of choice?” Tae Hyun asked uninterestedly, clearly expecting a mundane answer from her.  
    “ Body Shots .” 
    The smug smile that adorned Tae Hyun’s lips disappeared when he heard this. He gazed at her. His eyes were ready to form tears of regret. His visage was reminiscent of a child who got his favorite toy taken away. He held his confused eyes on her while he poured the vodka into her glass. His shocked expression asked her if she was serious. 
    When all she did was shrug with a crooked smile that could easily be seen as a tease, she could’ve sworn she saw a downpo ur of regret crawl in his eyes when he thought about the alternative game that would’ve brought the biggest smile to his face. 
    She scoffed inwardly, highly amused and not surprised with Tae Hyun’s show of regret.  As the old saying goes, boys will be boys.
    He emerged out of his daze when he realized that the drink he was pouring her had spilled onto the tiles.  Lost in a state of mystification, Tae Hyun lowered the bottle slowly and parted his lips, ready to suggest a flexible alternative. “W – We could – ” 
    It took all of Yoori’s willpower to suppress her giggles. It was comical to see him so confused and sad.
    “No, Kwon Tae Hyunnie...” she started in a mocking and teasing tone. “You said it yourself. It’s your game or no game.” 
    Tae Hyun scoffed when he finally, amid his confusion and regret, caught on to the fact that Yoori was just messing with him.  
    “Ohhh,” he voiced, shaking his head at her. His eyes rippled with the need for vengeance.   “This is war.”
    Yoori giggled proudly, ready to have some fun.  
    “Okay, let’s get some rules straight," she began, not wanting “sex” to be the main topic of their game. "We can’t ask any personal questions pertaining to se – ”  
    “– Never have I ever not had  sex,” Tae Hyun interrupted promptly, a challenging smile apparent on his face. 
    Yoori gawked at him disbelievingly. The first question and he was already going personal?  
    “Uh…” She stared cautiously at their shot glasses. As she had anticipated, he didn’t hold his shot glass up to
