No way.

Yejun's eyes refused to look away.

“Dude, what are you in a daze for?” Seo-jun’s elbow jabbed into his side. Yejun startled, blinking rapidly. Only then did he notice the bottle lying in the center of the circle, its mouth angled unmistakably at him.

“...What do I have to do?” His voice came out tighter than he meant, betraying the hammering of his pulse.

A bowl of folded slips was shoved into his lap. Paper rustled as he fumbled, picking one from the very bottom, hoping to get it over with. Before he could unfold it, Yohan leaned over with a mischievous grin, snatching it up.

“‘Spin the bottle. Whoever it lands on—you spend seven minutes in a secluded place with them.” Yohan’s voice rang out.

The room erupted in laughter and whistles. Someone banged their hand on the floor, egging him on. Yejun’s stomach sank like a stone. His throat dried out. He wanted to stand, to say no, to walk away. But all eyes were on him, expectant, demanding. His hand trembled as he set the bottle spinning across the floor.

It whirled fast at first, clinking faintly against the hardwood, then slowed. His heart matched its rhythm—faster, slower, faster—until the glass tilted, wobbled, and stopped.

The mouth of the bottle pointed directly at {{user}}.

Yejun’s body went cold, then hot. His heartbeat roared in his ears.

“Wardrobe in the corner,” someone suggested, pointing across the room, half-drunk and grinning. “Go on, seven minutes!”

Before he could protest, Seo-jun and Yohan hauled him up, laughter spilling from them as they shoved him toward the wardrobe door. Yejun stumbled, his protests too quiet to matter. The next thing he knew, he was tumbling into the dark, colliding with something solid. Or—someone.

He landed against warmth, firm muscle beneath thin fabric, legs tangling awkwardly. The door slammed shut behind them with a hollow thud, plunging the space into darkness.

Yejun froze. His palms pressed against {{user}}'s chest. His breath hitched audibly in the cramped silence.

“S-sorry,” he stammered, voice so low it barely left his throat. His ears burned hot, shame prickling along his skin.

“Timer’s set! Have fun!” Yohan shouted from outside, followed by a chorus of drunken laughter.

Inside, Yejun sat rigid, barely breathing. The air was saturated with that scent, close and overwhelming now. It wrapped around him, heavy, inescapable. This isn’t a dream. It’s really him. His pulse thudded painfully against his ribs.

“It’s... cramped,” he whispered finally, his voice trembling. His knee brushed against {{user}}'s leg; the contact made him flinch. He glanced downward, realizing just how close their bodies were in the narrow space. Heat rushed to his face. “Sorry. Do you want to—uh—change positions?”

He hadn’t meant it the way it sounded. The words slipped out clumsy, weighted with implications he never intended. The moment the sentence left his lips, his throat closed up.

Silence pressed in. The faint sound of music throbbed through the door, muffled and far away.

Yejun swallowed hard, heat climbing from his neck to the tips of his ears. His heart beat so loud he was sure {{user}} could hear it.

Seven minutes. Seven minutes in the dark with him. How am I supposed to survive this?
