Don't Misunderstood!

Chapter 31 - 31: Bullied Liam



"All right, since we are now done setting things up we should play a game" Shane announced as if she was a host in a game show

The six were currently sitting on the floor again with a soft cushion below them. They are spread around the circular table that has alcohol and chips on top

One look was enough to see that they are now ready to have their little drinking session

"If your game is dumb, I\'ll have you drink this whole bottle of gin" Klein remarked while holding a whole bottle of gin in his hand

The alcoholic beverage in their table was a mixture of gin, soda, and powdered juice. It makes the taste of alcohol less pronounced

Both Shane and Cain have friends that don\'t like drinking something that is too bitter and they decided that they would have this drink

"How can you accuse my game as being dumb? My game is something that has never been played in any other party!"

Shane acted as if she was greatly offended by placing her hand in front of her chest with her mouth parted in shock

"Whatever. So what is your game?" Klein replied while shrugging his shoulder

Shane showed a toothy grin first before giving her answer. "It\'s truth or dare! Very original, right?"

"...."

"..."

"..."

Almost everyone wore their poker face. Truth or dare? This game can\'t be more party classic!

It was at the top of being a classic and \'old good\' game. Where did Shane even get her confidence by labeling it as an \'original game\' that has never been played in any party before?

"Hmm, it\'s not the game that is dumb but the person that thought of it is hihihi" Liam that was already taking some chips again commented while chuckling and the others almost instantly agreed

"Tsk, tsk. None of you have any sense of humor at all" Shane said while shaking her head. She was dejected and she can only alleviate some of her unhappiness by taking the first shot

Even though they put soda and powdered juice in the gin, it was still quite strong yet Shane gulp it down as if it was just water

"Don\'t mind them, they are not fun at all" Cain went to the dejected woman\'s rescue and he also takes a shot

The two alcoholic people among the six took the first and second shot as if it was the most natural thing to do in the world and the others chuckled at them

"Why so dramatic?" Klein asked while rolling his eyes. He had an urge to drown Shane with alcohol because of how she was acting

"I\'m practicing my acting skills for the club. How is it? Am I good?" The unhappy expression from Shane\'s face instantly vanishes and was replaced with a whimsical one

"Of course you\'re good, here, have another shot" it was Cain that answered, and even though the others still haven\'t had their drink first, he already poured another shot for Shane and himself

"It seems like you are the one that wants to take advantage of me" Shane joked while nudging Cain with her elbow

"Why? You don\'t want to?"

"I didn\'t say I don\'t want to"

Klein can\'t help but roll his eyes. Instead of stressing himself of how these two flirts were making a \'disgusting\' scene, he just poured a shot in his own glass and drunk it

The six started drinking with each other while chatting. Although the two groups don\'t know each other for that long, it can be said that they have a chemistry

They didn\'t look like they just met each other weeks ago. It was like they have been friends with each other for a long time already

There was almost no awkward silence especially since there are two clowns with them that we should hide with the name Cain and Shane

"Don\'t" Tristan that rarely spoke finally said another thing again. He lightly swats Liam\'s hand that was about to take some more chips for the nth time

"What? Why not?"

"You eat too many chips" Tristan replied

"True. We are drinking, not watching a movie. You eat more chips than you drink" Cain agreed with a laugh

"Yeah, because of that you need to take three consecutive shots!" Shane seconded and she even took the liberty to pour three shots for Liam

"No! This is unfair!" Liam said in fright. In fact, Cain\'s words were true. Liam really did eat more than he drinks

That was the reason why even though Liam has low alcohol tolerance, he is still not drunk nor tipsy

"Drink these or we wouldn\'t let you eat more chips!" Shane threatened and Liam teared up

How cruel of them! Chips, junk foods, and other unhealthy yet tasty foods are life! How can they ban Liam from eating them?

"Y-you\'re joking, right?" Liam asked hopefully but Shane merely snickered at him

"What do you think?"

Liam narrowed his eyes while lowering his head a bit before answering. "I-I think it\'s a ... j-joke?"

"Think again" Shane replied with a grin and Liam looks as if the world has forsaken him

Fortunately, Liam still has his savior.

"I\'ll drink it". Tristan took the glass into his hand and drunk it in one gulp

That causes Liam\'s face to light up instantly. The more he interacts with Tristan, the more he realizes how kind this man is!

"Nah ah ah, Liam should drink it. Sorry, Mr. Good Samaritan, that wouldn\'t work"

Liam\'s joyful expression instantly vanishes and it was replaced by a look of despair. Even the kind and Saint-like Tristan can\'t defeat the Evil Villainess which was Shane!

"You guys are bullying him too much" Klein chimed in and Liam\'s expression had another 180 degrees of rotation

Liam thought that Klein would help him but in the next second, he was proven wrong

"But go on, he deserves it"

Liam\'s face fell and he looks at Klein with eyes filled with resentment

"Y-you... meanie!" Liam cried out but Klein just stick his tongue out

"Don\'t think I already forgot that it was you that uploaded that detestable video"

Klein can forgive but he certainly won\'t forget! Liam already has a lifelong sin in Klein\'s eyes

"Wait, what video?" Calix that always kept his silence to not aggravate Klein can\'t help but ask

"The lovely video of you and Klein being a sweet arguing couple!" Cain answered and Calix immediately shot Liam a deadly look

"So it was you"

Liam wishes that the cushion would expand and eat him alive. Calix\'s stare was too prickly

Liam felt that he was turned into a porcupine due to how much dagger was thrown at him by Calix\'s stare

"F-fine, I\'ll drink it!" Liam whimpered before taking his three consecutive shots which wasn\'t a good thing

He immediately saw stars flying above his head. Liam instantly entered a drowsy state visible in his expression and also the way his body was swaying

"Hahahaha!" The others laugh at how Liam ended up. His alcohol tolerance was really too poor. It was just three consecutive shots of diluted gin yet he was already in the drink of passing out

"M-meanie... b-bad..." Liam mumbled while trying his best to keep his consciousness but he ultimately failed in the end

Liam passed out and his head was about to slam in the cold floor when Tristan caught him

"Pfft, revenge is really satisfying" Klein muttered before taking a shot himself

Tristan took Liam in his arms and he places the little guy on top of the large sofa. The sofa was already large yet Liam\'s body is terribly small

As a result, it makes Liam look like a kid that fell asleep on the couch with Tristan as his father

"I think our friend already wants to have a child" Cain said to Calix that decided not to give an answer

"Come on man, why aren\'t you saying anything? You are not normally like this" Cain asked while clicking his tongue and Calix motioned at Klein with his eyes

"Pfft, you\'re afraid of Klein? Don\'t be afraid of him, he\'s really kind! He won\'t bite, even if he does, I hope I\'m the one that he will bite"

Klein was infected by Cain\'s playfulness and he can\'t help but answer in the same manner

"Sure, I\'ll bite you until you bleed to death"

"If that were to happen, I wouldn\'t have any regret in my life" Cain replied dreamily causing Klein to laugh a bit at how silly he was

After messing with Cain, Klein then turned to look at Calix. "You can talk, it\'s not like I am the law that states you can\'t say any word"

The way Klein treated Cain and Calix was wildly different. To Cain, Klein was playful but to Calix, he was a bit rude and unfriendly

The disparity was even more prominent to the two that receives them

"I would rather refrain myself from speaking than to make Your Majesty irritated" Calix replied sarcastically
