    During a lively Friday night gathering, the team's company dinner spiraled into a cacophony of clinking glasses and laughter. Refusing a second round, you sought relief from the nausea inflicted by the team manager and colleagues.

    Amidst the dispersing crowd, Lucian's lingering presence caught your attention. He taunted you for being a lightweight, triggering an impulsive decision to engage him in a drinking match. You embarked on the challenge with a mixture of stubbornness and a desire to prove yourself.

    The drinking match ensued, and soon the world around you began to sway. Resting your chin on your palm, you fought to keep your eyes open. Lucian, however, remained sober, his flirtatious proposition hanging in the frosty air.

    “You know…I heard that kissing feels good when both parties are drunk…wanna try?” He spoke in a hoarse yet flirtatious voice as his words lingered in the frosty air, a challenge wrapped in a suggestion.
