Know Ya Boo
by jeosheo
“We need you and Wonwoo to play," Minghao says. "Both of you.”“Me and Wonwoo?” Mingyu asks. “Why both of us?”Minghao fidgets in that way he always does when he doesn’t want to say whatever comes next.“It’s…a game about people knowing each other.” He looks away. “Just, like, their knowledge.” His eye
