How embarrassing! A collection of cute lines perfect for penalty games

It’s frustrating, but… I like you!

How do you all feel when you receive affectionate words from friends or peers? You might start noticing someone you hadn’t paid attention to until they said something, or find yourself wondering, “What did they mean by that?” Let’s try using lines that could give you those heart-pounding feelings as a forfeit game.

From the line, “It’s frustrating, but… I like you!” you can sense someone who doesn’t want to admit their feelings, yet can’t help them from overflowing.

It’s a phrase that conveys earnest, straightforward emotion along with a touch of heartache.

When saying it as a forfeit, it might be nice to deliver it with a shy smile.

[Penalty Game] I ended up saying something embarrassing /// ❤

For this punishment game line, you might first need to create the right atmosphere for saying something like that.

Setting that mood seems tricky to begin with.

And while it might be manageable for a woman, it could be a much higher hurdle for a man to say this line.

That said, its effectiveness as a punishment game is huge, so I’d love to see men cast aside their embarrassment and give it a try.

Also, even for women, if it lands on someone who would never say something like this normally, the value of the punishment game would probably go up—and it’s interesting to think about what kind of outcome that would produce.

I just love sweets so much!

Compared to the other lines, this penalty-game line doesn’t seem as embarrassing, but the way you say it does carry some embarrassment.

Since the line itself isn’t very difficult, ideally, when you say “I loooove it,” I’d like you to happily declare it while letting your genuine affection seep through.

And if you steer the scene toward eating more and more sweets, it should make things even more fun.

The more someone who doesn’t usually give off that vibe does it, the more it’ll turn into a hilariously unstoppable penalty game, so definitely give it a try.

I’ll make you fall for me.

An ultra-cutesy line that only idols would use—something like, “I’ll make you fall head over heels for me!” Just saying it in front of everyone when you know it’s a penalty game is enough to make your face burn with embarrassment, right? But penalty games are one of the key moments that make or break the vibe.

Precisely because it’s a line you’d never use normally, toss your shame aside and deliver it with gusto! If you add a little body wiggle or bring your hand to your mouth while you say it, it’ll amp up the cutesy act even more!

If you don’t tell me you like me, I’ll end up hating you!

If someone says, “If you don’t tell me you like me, I’ll start to hate you!”, what’s the right way to respond? It’s the kind of line a cunning girl in a romance manga might use, but if someone said it in real life, you might back off a bit—even if she’s cute.

Precisely because it’s a line that throws people off, it’s perfect for a penalty game! Saying it half-heartedly just makes it more embarrassing, so puff out your cheeks and deliver it with a cute, pouty, pretend-angry gesture, and go all in.
