MEMBERS REACTION TO PLAYING THE PEPERO GAME

.

SION

The room was buzzing with energy as Sion and his friends played a chaotic game of Truth or Dare. Y/N had been lucky enough to dodge a few embarrassing dares so far, but when the bottle landed on her, Sion’s smirk made her stomach drop.

"Truth or dare?" he asked, his voice laced with mischief.

Y/N narrowed her eyes. "Dare."

A chorus of "Ooohs" filled the room as Sion immediately leaned forward. "I dare you to play the Pepero game with me."

Her face burned. "What?! No way—"

"You said dare. No backing out now," he grinned, already holding a Pepero stick between his lips.

Muttering under her breath, Y/N leaned in and took the other end. As she hesitated, Sion chuckled through the biscuit. "You’re so slow."

"Shut up," she mumbled, starting to chew.

Without warning, Sion placed his hands on her waist, pulling her slightly forward. "I’m just helping you out," he teased, his breath tickling her lips.

Y/N panicked and bit off the Pepero before they got any closer, making Sion burst into laughter. "You lose!" he announced proudly.

"Whatever," she huffed, shoving him playfully as the others cheered.

RIKU

It was one of those lazy afternoons at Riku’s place, where the two of them lounged on the couch, watching variety shows. A segment popped up of idols playing the Pepero game, and Y/N’s eyes sparkled with an idea.

"Let’s try it," she suggested.

Riku blinked, surprised. "Huh? You mean... us?"

She nodded, already holding up a Pepero stick. "Come on, it’ll be fun!"

Riku chuckled and took the other end between his teeth, his usual warm smile never fading. They started chewing towards each other, the gap between them slowly disappearing.

But as they got closer, Y/N could feel her face heating up under Riku’s soft gaze. He didn’t break eye contact, smiling even as their lips were just a breath away.

Panicked, she yelped and pulled away, covering her face. "Too close!"

Riku laughed softly, scratching the back of his neck. "You almost won, though."

She groaned. "Let’s never do that again."

.

YUSHI

Yushi was minding his own business when Y/N randomly blurted out, "Let’s play the Pepero game."

He nearly dropped his phone. "W-what?! Right now?"

"Yeah, why not?" she grinned, waving a Pepero stick in front of him.

Yushi hesitated, but seeing the determination on her face, he sighed and leaned forward, biting the other end. His entire face was already red.

As Y/N slowly chewed forward, Yushi stayed frozen, his brain short-circuiting with every inch closer. When they were only a few centimeters apart, he panicked and bit off the biscuit too soon, quickly covering his face with his hands.

Y/N blinked. "You didn’t even try!"

"This is too embarrassing," he mumbled.

She burst into laughter, nudging his shoulder. "You’re too cute, Yushi."

.

JAEHEE

Sakuya leaned back in his chair, arms crossed. "Jaehee, Y/N, play the Pepero game."

Jaehee, ever the easygoing one, just smiled. "Sure, why not?"

Y/N gaped at him. "You’re not even embarrassed?!"

"It’s just a game," he shrugged, holding out a Pepero stick. "Here, you bite first."

Hesitantly, Y/N took the other end while Jaehee bit into his side. They both started chewing toward each other at the same pace.

Unlike the others, Jaehee didn’t seem fazed at all—he just smiled, his dimples on full display. But as they got closer, his cheeks turned a faint pink.

Right before their lips could touch, Y/N panicked and snapped the rest of the biscuit off, causing Jaehee to laugh. "You were doing so well!"

She glared. "You’re too calm! It threw me off!"

Jaehee just grinned, the same warmth in his eyes. "Let’s play again, then."

"No way."

.

RYO

It had started as a simple snack break while watching a drama, but when Y/N saw the Pepero box on the table, she got an idea.

"Ryo, let’s play the Pepero game."

Ryo nearly choked on his drink. "W-what?!"

"Come on, it’ll be fun!" she insisted.

Reluctantly, Ryo picked up a Pepero stick and bit one end while Y/N bit the other. As they started chewing toward each other, Ryo immediately began giggling.

"You’re laughing too much," Y/N complained, though she was starting to giggle, too.

"I can’t help it!" Ryo covered his mouth, his ears bright red. Every time he looked at her, another wave of laughter hit him.

They ended up collapsing onto the couch, the Pepero forgotten as they laughed until their stomachs hurt.

.

SAKUYA

"Let’s play the Pepero game," Sakuya announced confidently.

Y/N groaned. "You just want to win, don’t you?"

"Obviously," he grinned, holding up a Pepero stick. "Now hold this while I bite."

Rolling her eyes, Y/N held the biscuit between her Lips while Sakuya leaned in and bit the other end. His eyes gleamed with determination as he chewed toward her.

"Don’t laugh," he warned.

Y/N tried, she really did, but seeing the way Sakuya was taking this so seriously made her burst into laughter.

"Y/N!" he complained, trying not to laugh himself. But her laughter was contagious, and soon enough, he was laughing too.

"You take this way too seriously!" she wheezed, wiping tears from her eyes.

"Because I don’t lose," he shot back, crossing his arms.

"Well, you just did," she teased.

Sakuya sighed dramatically. "Fine. Best two out of three?"

"Absolutely not."
