#jaehee texts

“Fine.” Yushi’s eyes glinted. “Who’s the last person you stalked on Instagram for more than five minutes?”

Sion hesitated, a blush creeping up his neck. “That’s two people, actually. My ex, and the barista from the coffee shop near school.” He shrugged, feigning indifference. “Your turn, Yushi.”

Yushi puffed out his chest. “Dare. Obviously.”

Haneul, perched on the armrest of the sofa, tapped her chin. “Ding-dong-ditch the kims next door. But you have to sing the national anthem while you do it.”

Yushi’s face fell. “My soul is dead.” He dragged himself up, a mournful wail escaping his lips as he shuffled towards the front door. A moment later, a strained, off-key rendition of the anthem echoed from outside, followed by the frantic ring of a doorbell.

“Alright, daeng,” James said, his voice dripping with anticipation. “Your turn. Truth or dare?”

Jaehee, hunched over his phone, startled. “Truth.” The word barely a whisper.

James scoffed. “Boring. You always pick truth. Live a little.”

“Come on, Jaehee,” Haneul purred, a hand landing on his shoulder, a feather-light pressure that felt like a hundred pounds. “Don’t be a coward. We know you want to pick dare.”

Jaehee’s gaze darted between their eager faces, a nervous tremor starting in his hands. “I… I really don’t.”

“Imagine the stories,” Sion chimed in, now back in his beanbag. “The legend of daeng’s Great Dare.” His friends’ combined pressure felt like a physical weight. Jaehee swallowed, a dry rasp in his throat. “Fine. Dare.”

A collective cheer erupted.

“Okay, here’s the deal,” James announced, pulling out his own phone.

“You’re getting on Tinder.”

Jaehee’s eyes widened to saucers. “What? No. Absolutely not.”

“Oh, yes,” Haneul corrected, snatching Jaehee’s phone. “And you have to find a girl and use the worst pickup lines we can think of.”

“This is a nightmare,” Jaehee mumbled, watching Haneul download the app.

Minutes later, a profile picture of Jaehee, looking vaguely terrified, appeared on the screen. The friends huddled around, a choir of groans and approvals accompanying each swipe.

“Too much eyeliner.”

“Next.”

“She looks like she’d judge my life choices.”

“Oh, she’s cute. Definitely not for daeng.”

“Wait. Stop.” Sion pointed. “Her. Jeemin. Perfect.”

The girl on the screen had kind eyes, framed by dark hair that fell just past her shoulders. A faint, almost shy smile played on her lips.

“Okay, daeng,” James said, practically vibrating with excitement. “Your opening line. ‘Do you believe in love at first sight, or should I walk by again?’”

Jaehee’s face contorted. “That’s… that’s terrible.”

“That’s the point!” Haneul pushed the phone into his hand. “Send it.”

With a trembling finger, Jaehee typed, then pressed send. A moment stretched, thick with anticipation. Then, a notification.

“No way,” Yushi breathed.

“She’s a keeper,” Sion declared. “Alright, next one. ‘Are you a parking ticket? Because you’ve got FINE written all over you.’”

Jaehee typed, a flush creeping up his neck. Another notification.

“She’s amused!” Haneul clapped Jaehee on the back. “This is working!

Okay, last one. ‘Is your name Google? Because you’ve got everything I’ve been searching for.’”

Jaehee typed, his heart hammering against his ribs. He couldn’t believe this was happening.

Jaehee froze. His friends, initially ecstatic, fell silent.

“She wants to know him,” Yushi whispered, as if speaking too loudly would break the house.

Panic, cold and sharp, hit Jaehee. He looked at his friends, a silent plea in his eyes.

“You have to tell her,” James stated, a hint of regret in his voice. “It was a dare.”

Jaehee’s fingers hovered over the keyboard. He typed, then deleted. Typed again.

A sudden, unexpected smile touched Jaehee’s lips. The sun, finally breaking through the blinds in full force, seemed to illuminate the room, dispelling the last vestiges of chaos. Maybe, he thought, dares weren’t so bad after all.
