move the game along. 
    “You didn’t answer my question!”
    “I did and it’s not my fault you didn’t listen. Anyway, my turn,” he said without giving her a chance to answer. 
    “Wait , no – ”
    “Never have I ever…fallen for someone I shouldn’t have fallen for.”
    Without thinking, both Yoori and Tae Hyun took a swig from their respective shot glasses. In that instant, Tae Hyun was the person that popped into her mind. She shook the image away. She surmised it was only because he was sitting right in front of her. She immediately dismissed it as nothing. 
    “Who?” Tae Hyun asked when they poured another round into each other’s glasses.  
    Uncomfortable and not keen on telling him that he  popped into her disordered mind, she kept her mouth sealed. She was ready to move the game along. She felt beads of sweat form on her forehead. This game was getting intense.
    “Eh, eh! Who?” he asked when he saw that she wasn’t planning on answering.  
    “My turn!” she shouted decidedly. 
    “No , wait – ”
    “Never have I ever…had my heart broken by someone.”
    Both of their drinks remained as they stared at each other. It was palpable that they had never fallen in love – much less had their hearts broken. Yoori frowned at herself. It was the first statement that popped into her mind in her state of panic and it couldn't have been a more boring question for the game. 
    She sighed, allowing her harsh gaze to fall on Tae Hyun.  
    “Your day will come, Kwon Tae Hyun,” she voiced decidedly, referring to getting his heart broken. She tried to sound dangerous and scary as she gave him a dirty look. She was extremely disgruntled that he turned this into such an uncomfortable game.  
    “As will yours, Choi Yoori,” Tae Hyun countered, his voice feigning equal sternness. His glare was just as dirty.  
    They took another second to glare evilly at each other, their eyes unblinking.  Soon after, sounds of snickering evaded their lips. It was probably the alcohol or because they were so comfortable around each other, but they couldn’t take each other seriously at all. 
    Finishing her last bout of laughter, Yoori stared down at the shot glasses uneasily. Playing “Never Have I Ever” was definitely more intense when played with Tae Hyun.
    “This game is making me slightly uncomfortable.”
    Finishing his last bout of laughter as well, Tae Hyun said, “I would think that the alcohol would’ve started loosening you up already.”
    He was clearly amazed that Yoori was still sober.
    Yoori quickly caught on to the fact that he probably assumed she was a lightweight because she was vertically challenged (compared to his tall self).  
    “For your information, I can handle large consumptions of alcohol,” Yoori shared, her voice proud. It was a random and true fact. She got a kick out of showing people how “talented” she was.  
    Tae Hyun gazed at her suspiciously. He didn’t believe her. “Really?”
    “Yeah.” 
    “How large?”  
    “Large,” she answered confidently. She knew her next statement would get a rise out of Tae Hyun.  “Probably more than you.”
    Tae Hyun tilted his head at her answer. The look he gave her was pure male challenge. “I’ll take you up on that challenge later.”  
    Yoori nodded, ready to accept any future challenges. A light bulb went off in her head when she realized they could sit there and share random tidbits of information without playing dangerous time sensitive, stripping-games.  
    “What about you?” she began sternly. “Random fact.”  
    “I hate band-aids,” Tae Hyun said at once, taking a swift drink out of his shot glass. He appeared to still be thinking about Yoori and her so-called high alcohol tolerance.  
    “You…hate…band-aids?”  
    Tae Hyun nodded unabashedly. His expression scrunched in distaste at the reminder. “Yeah, I can’t stand them. They look disgusting and I hate seeing people take them off after
