Her brows lifted as she read the words aloud."Say a flirty line to the person sitting beside you… with a flirty expression?"
She cleared her throat, shifted her posture, and with a playful change in expression, leaned slightly closer to Taehyung.
"Taehyung…" she said sweetly, "say 'wine.'"
Taehyung raised a brow but played along, smiling. "Wine."
"You are mine," Sooyaa finished with a cheeky wink.
The room erupted into playful gasps and laughter.
"Ohhhhhhhhhh!" Yeonjun clapped dramatically.
Taehyung chuckled softly and turned his head to hide his smile, then looked back at her, slipping into his signature cold CEO tone. "Ms. Sooyaa, you're… unexpectedly skilled at this kind of thing."
Sooyaa placed a hand over her heart, mockingly touched. "Thank you, Mr. Kim. I try my best."
Still chuckling, Yeonjun grabbed the bottle again. "Alright, moving on. Let's see who's next."
He spun the bottle with flair. It spun wildly, then slowed… and stopped exactly in front of Taehyung.
Yeonjun gasped in fake horror. "Our next victim is… Mr. Kim himself!"
Taehyung gave him a slow, icy death stare .
Before anyone could even hold up fingers for him to choose truth or dare, Taehyung calmly said, "Dare."
Yeonjun blinked. "Wow. Confident."
Taehyung reached into the jar, pulled out a slip, and read it aloud.
"Do the same dare the last person did."
The whole room went still.
Sooyaa blinked. "Wait… my dare?"
Taehyung slowly turned toward her, lips twitching as if holding back a smirk.
Taehyung reached into the inner pocket of his blazer, pulling out his wallet with that calm,He flipped it open and smoothly slid out a sleek black credit card, twirling it between his finger and turned towards sooyaa.
"Do you know," he said, his voice dipping into that charmingly dangerous tone, "what this credit card…"he paused, lifting the black card slightly "and my love for you have in common?"
Sooyaa blinked, caught off guard, then slowly shook her head.
"They both have no limit," he finished smoothly, a playful smirk tugging at the corner of his lips.
Around them, Yeonjun nearly choked on his drink.
Hye-jin laughed, covering her mouth. "Where do people learn lines like this?"
Sooyaa with his eyes broad "You're seriously dangerous, Mr. Kim," she muttered.
Taehyung just leaned back, still spinning the card between his fingers like a magician. "What can I say? I play to win."
Hye-jin stretched her arms above her head with a yawn. "Alright, that's enough truth and dare for tonight. I'm calling it I need my beauty sleep."
Yeonjun pouted dramatically. "But we were just getting started!"
Sooyaa laughed as she stood up, brushing off her skirt. "Nope, the night's over for me too. I'm exhausted."
She glanced briefly at Taehyung, who looked like he wanted to say something but didn't.
He opened his mouth, then closed it again. The words just didn't come out.
Sooyaa gave him a soft smile.
Hye-jin grabbed her by the arm. "Come on, let's go pass out before Yeonjun suggests karaoke."
"Hey!" Yeonjun called after them. "That was going to be my next idea!"
As the girls disappeared down the hallway, Taehyung watched silently, jaw tight, eyes lingering on Sooyaa's retreating figure. For a split second, his fingers opened like he was about to reach out but he didn't.
He simply leaned back against the couch with a long breath, staring at the ceiling, lost in his thoughts.
Yeonjun dropped down next to him.
"Amazing night, huh?"
Taehyung reply "hmmm... amazing."
