The Bored Immortal

Viktor also never got his chance, but he knew that it was because the guy spinning the bottle, Jason, was an expert at spinning it in a way that it would stop in the direction he wanted.

And as for Shawn, he knew which paper bits to pick based on small markings on the back of the paper bits that weren't easily noticeable. All he had to was remember them and he would know what questions they contained.

And this time, the bottle stopped spinning while pointing at Tiana, making Jason look on with a smile as Shawn picked up a paper bit and passed it to Nancy, who momentarily paused before reading out slowly, "Kiss the guy sitting opposite to you."

"What nonsense is that again? I am going to drink, hmph!" Tiana said without any hesitation, but Jason, who was quite irked about her refusing to kiss someone as handsome as him, again and again, said, "Hold on, Tiana. You used up five of your lives, remember? Besides, this is just a game. No need to take anything seriously. It's just a kiss, and we can laugh about it. Right, guys?"

"Oh, yea!"

"Come on, Tiana. Don't spoil the mood!" One of the senior girls from the other table shouted, and all the senior girls even sent her subtle glares as a warning if she refused their idol, Jason.

However, Tiana only got even angrier from their glares and was about to adamantly refuse when Viktor intervened as he passed his cup to her, "She can take one of my lives."

"What the…that's not possible!" Shawn immediately called out.

Viktor shrugged, "Why not? I am the King's Bodyguard. So I can surely offer her one of my lives."

His words literally made the jaws drop for the people sitting around him, and even Tiana was surprised at how easily he came up with an excuse to give her an extra chance and quite a good one at that.

"That's not even a thing! It's not included in the rules," Shawn said with clenched fists, feeling that he should teach this ignorant junior a lesson later.

"Who knows? It might be there in other versions of King's Cup. Besides, you guys didn't also mention that King's Bodyguard wasn't a thing. So…if we are adding such a rule, shouldn't we restart the game?" Viktor asked artlessly, making even Jason look at him with a dark expression before changing into a smile and saying, "It's fine, Shawn. Our friend has a point. Let's continue."

"B-But…haa…whatever…" Since Jason wanted to let it go, for now, Shawn could only smile inwardly, imagining the kind of trouble this dumb junior was in.

Viktor intervened only because he didn't want Tiana and Sayana to stand out or get ostracized since he knew youngsters their age may not cope well under such situations. So he decided to stand out and attract all the attention.

"Your friend is so cool, Saya!" Talia said with sparkles in her eyes, making Sayana subtly smile and say with a look of awe, "Yes…he is. I wish I could be as confident as him," Sayana unconsciously mumbled to which Talia said, "You are already great as it is. But if you want to, all you have to do is find your inner fire. Then everything will be alright."

"Inner fire?" Sayana was confused and wondered if Talia was talking about some philosophical thing.

Viktor decided to end this shitshow for once and for all as this time he looked at Jason's eyes briefly before he spun the bottle. And unsurprisingly, the bottle ended up pointing in Jason's direction, and Viktor then immediately looked at Shawn's eyes briefly before he picked up a certain paper bit and passed it to Nancy, who read it aloud.

There was a hint of glee in her eyes as she read, "Kiss the male sitting beside you."

"What the…"

"Oh my god!"

"Will Jason really do it?"

"Are you crazy? He still has two lives left, heh."

"He is straight, dudes. What the fuck y'all talking about?"

However, Jason turned to look at Shawn just as Shawn also turned his head to look at him, both exchanging gazes, the distance between their faces coming closer as if they were passionate lovers who were seeing each other after a long time.

"J-Jason?" One of the senior girls called him out awkwardly, seeing how instead of drinking, his face was getting closer towards Shawn.

"Wow, this is going to be really interesting, hehe," Tiana couldn't help but giggle in amusement, not expecting Jason to be so daring, or does he really like Shawn?

The next moment their lips met, but both of their eyes widened as if they experienced the biggest shock in their lives.

"Fuck!"

"Yuck!"

The two of them immediately pushed away from each other, making Jason lose his balance and fall off his seat, just like Shawn as well. The seat was just a small circular seat with no support on the back, because of which the two easily fell over, making it quite an amusing sight for the people sitting around, and some even took pics of them kissing and falling over.

Surely, today some anonymous profile was going to upload this in the college social forum, which would definitely become viral since the successor of JK Groups just kissed a boy. Surely, the stocks of their companies might get influenced because of this, and even Jason couldn't fathom the kind of trouble he was in.

But how did it happen?? Why would I kiss this bastard? Am I fucking crazy?! Did a ghost possess me?!!

Jason couldn't even say anything since he was completely shocked and frightened as he doesn't remember wanting to kiss Shawn.

"Haha, that was funny. You guys are surely the kings of this game," Tiana said as she giggled, making Jason's face heat up in shame and humiliation. He just made a laughing stock of himself and shot daggers at Shawn with his eyes, who was also confused and disgusted as he waved his hands, indirectly telling him that he did not do it.

Nancy couldn't help but feel as if she received justice and smiled subtly.

Jason quickly got up and looked around at the boys and girls sitting around him. Most avoided his gaze when he looked at them, but he could make out how their lips were quivering because of stifling their laughs while Tiana was busy commenting about what she just saw with Dorian, making him grind his teeth against each other.

He even heard her mentioning that Shawn was probably his secret boyfriend!

How much more humiliating could this get? The girl he was trying to court was already thinking about him like this.

"I have to go! An emergency came up!" Jason felt as if he lost all face to linger around here anymore and immediately left while taking out his phone.

"I-I also got some work!" Shawn was the next to run out since he couldn't stand the jeering stares at him.

"Oh, well. They shouldn't have left so early. We could have had more fun. Sigh....I guess it's time to head back?" Viktor said with a subtle smile.
