King's Game

The place was a bit chaotic as one would expected from a college's drinking party.

"Give more here." 

Mu Bai was in one corner with the freshmen. He was asking them to pour him a glass. It was obvious at one glance that they aren't enjoying themselves and is stuck in a difficult situation.

"Good evening senior Mu." Gritting his teeth Mingze took the plunge and greeted him first. 

"Oh there you are, come on drink!" 

A glass of beer was placed in front of him. Both Zheyan and him sit on his opposite side, protecting their juniors. They were willing to entertain Mu Bai themselves. 

Their eyes met and it seems like they have the same idea. Their goal was to keep filling up his drink until he passed out. The earlier he passed out the better. 

"Congratulations on your discharge, everyone clap for senior Mu!" Zheyan was the first to move, he pretended that he was so happy he was discharged and roped everyone in. 

"Senior Mu show the juniors how you drink." This time it was Mingze urging him. Combined with their efforts he started drinking carelessly.

They thought they were doing a good job, but it didn't take long before he started acting up again. 

"Why are two guys pouring for me? This is also the freshmen's welcoming party. I already know you're both good looking, but I don't swing that way…wait do you guys like me?" 

Ewww who would like who? Mingze wanted to vomit at his words. Mu Bai's too delusional.

"Sorry I don't like senior Mu." Mingze was the first to say his rejections and shook his head. 

"I already have a boyfriend from the north pole, I'm deeply sorry Senior Mu." Hai Zheyan exaggerated his excuse and in turn almost everyone laughed. 

"Let's just play some games. I want to play the King's game." 

King's game is a simple game. The player who got the king would order a random number and the players must follow the king or they would be forced to take a shot. 

Since they are in a bbq place they have to improvise, they got a few chopsticks and break it. After breaking the sticks they started to write numbers and write the king.

Their whole table started playing. 

Round 1. Hanya was the first to get the King.

"Everyone who isn't in a relationship drink a shot!" Alot of people was forced to drink because of Hanya. 

"Why are you targeting us single dogs?!" One complained but drank a shot anyway.

"I'm just checking so I can freely match people. I want to know who's free or not."

The game continued and the atmosphere was light, after a more rounds almost everyone took a shot. The worst part was Xie Mingze drank a lot of beer already, he was just a moderate drinker, but the drinking game was a bit fast paced, so he can't pace his drinking properly.

Hai Zheyan was now dancing giomi after getting pick by the king. Everyone was laughing and calling him cute. They are taking a video of the moment to show and talk about later.

"Take it from this side, this is my angle. Come on do it properly."

For some reason, this circle had became the main circle of the party. Almost everyone was crowding in the their table.

Upon checking on the time it's already 9 pm, but nobody is leaving. 

Another round of the King's game started, this time Mingze got number 5. It was Mu Bai's turn to get the King. His orders were really reckless everytime. Since he was the one in power, everyone was already sweating bullets.

"Okay, no. 5 I want you to call the last person in your gallery and act like you are in a relationship. You have to show us his picture too."

Zheyan raised his hand, "What if its a cat or not a person or a pic of yourself?" 

His question was valid, people always take pictures of different things, especially food. Mingze's gallery is almost full of food pics and he have a gallery dedicated to sweets. 

"If it's food, take a shot of yourself. If it's yourself take two shots and of course if it's none of the above you're safe. I'm feeling a bit merciful today bahaha."

Since he likes to take pictures, Mingze can't remember the last thing he took. He silently opened his phone and cursed under his breath. Fuck, the last photo on his phone was a selfie of the awake Yichen while he was hugging the man obviously in deep sleep.

This was when he took him for a bolster pillow. Xie Mingze tried to take deep breaths, he tried to calm down. It's not like he would be called. All night long his number had never been called.

"Did everyone understand the rules?"

A lot of people cursed, turned out they might be in the same predicament as Mingze. The only problem he had was the ambiguous photo of them together in a bathrobe and obviously they would be questioned why they slept together.

Still, nobody backed down. There's only one chance they would be called. They gritted their teeth and showed a fake show of courage. 

"Then number 5. You can go and show us the image in your phone."

Ha.Ha no.5 

It was like the heavens playing tricks on him. He wanted to be eaten by the floor. Should he just pretend to be drunk and faint on the spot? Although that sounds pathetic and a black material in the future. 

Xie Mingze took a deep breath and showed the picture. "My last photo is with Fen Yichen."

The room boiled and some of them shouted. They were about to get to watch a good show between their department's school grass and the business's department's school grass. 

"Hurry and call him!"

The other people in the room urged him to call quickly.

"Just a disclaimer, if the phone rang and he didn't answer after 5 rings I'm dropping it. He doesn't always answer his phone anyways."

Lies… The truth is Fen Yichen always answer as long as it was Mingze calling. This time since its 9pm he wished he is already sleeping like a baby in his room or was busy with something he wouldn't notice anything.
