Do you dare? Part 1

"Let's play Truth or dare game. But the stakes are high, are you all up for it?" Dew asks everyone in the group that has come for her birthday party.

"Whatever I say goes and you have to do it, alright?"

Everyone is already buzzed after having good number of drinks so there are no inhibitions.

People are excited after a few rounds of funny and revealing truth and dare tasks. But the best has been saved for Tee as Dew wanted to get her revenge on the playboy who she had a crush on but that guy did not give her the time of day.

As soon as it's Tee's turn, Dew turns to him and says,

"So Tee, are you daring enough to take a challenge?"

Tee is high on alcohol and up for anything thrown on his way.

"Yes, give me the dare."

"You have to kiss a guy...
On the lips", Dew says.

Tee quickly surveys the people around him and picks his target.

This is nothing, I've kissed lots of girls. Kissing a guy is a piece of cake, right?

Tee walks up to the table full of business administration students who are having an animated chat. The tall and handsome guy sitting with a beer in his hand has not noticed Tee approach him. Tee taps on his shoulder, Tae looks up at Tee's face and without any delay, Tee leans down and kisses Tae on lips and leaves a wide - eyed Tae behind him when he walks back to his friends.

Everyone claps and hoots after Tee's kiss ends. Tae just stares at the guy who left him after a tantalising kiss. Tae's friends start laughing and patting Tae's shoulder loudly after they realise what just happened.

Tae finds out the identity of the guy who kissed him yesterday night. He is Tee Jaruji, a psychology student, a playboy and straight as a pole.
So why did he kiss me? 
Let's find out..
I should start by returning the favour.. 

Tae smirks and decides to give a visit to Tee. In the evening, he goes to the medical faculty and finds Tee near his car in the parking lot. Tae walks up to Tee who is facing away from him.

So in order to get Tee's attention, Tae kisses Tee's nape from behind. Tee is shocked by the sensation and quickly turns around. Tae, who was waiting for Tee to turn around, kisses Tee, licks his lips with the tip of his tongue and kisses again, all the while staring into Tee's eyes and then just turns around and leaves.

Tee is left staring at Tae's back for a good couple of minutes while rubbing his lower lip with his thumb. He snaps out of his reverie when Tae is no longer in sight.

Tee digs up information about Tae from various sources. Tae is a model student from business administration faculty, football captain and a heartbreaker, who stole a kiss from him! Well, Tee knows that he started it by kissing Tae in the first place but he didn't expect Tae to kiss him back like this!

Now it's time to show that obnoxious guy who's the boss! The next day, Tee goes to the business administration faculty to search for Tae. He sees Tae coming out of his classroom and walking somewhere and so he follows him.

Tae enters the washroom. Tee follows closely and suddenly pushes Tae from behind to enter a cubicle. Tae turns around to find Tee who's shorter than him, grabbing his collar to bring him down to kiss him on the lips. Tae loves the sensation of Tee's lips on his and he returns the kiss with added excitement. Tee didn't expect Tae to start kissing him back.

Tee wants to dominate the kiss so he pushes his tongue inside Tae's mouth.

But why does it seem like Tae is enjoying this too much and starting to dominate the kiss instead of me? Or is it me who is enjoying the kiss more than I should?

This thought instantly makes Tee push Tae away from him and he abruptly leaves the washroom and almost runs away from the engineering faculty.

At night, Tae stalks the social media account of Tee to learn more about the guy. That cute guy occupied Tae's thoughts since their first kiss and he's not able to figure out the reason.

Am I embarrassed from our first encounter when he stole a kiss from me? Did he hurt my pride enough for me to seek revenge on him?

Is this revenge or seduction? And who is seducing whom? Is it me or Tee? What are we doing?

But whatever we are doing, I don't want it to stop.

Tee enters the pub alone. He's looking even more gorgeous tonight as he's styled his hair, wearing light blue shirt with dark blue jeans and white sneakers.

He attracts attention from a lot of people inside the bar, specially from a handsome guy sitting not far from Tee. Tee looks around to see if he can find any known faces and his eyes stop on Tae. Both stare at each other for a few seconds and Tee walks towards Tae and sits by his side.

Everyone on Tae's table is shocked to find Tee on their table, including Tae. Of course everyone has seen or heard about Tee kissing Tae on Dew's birthday. Tae looks at Tee and gives a smile.

Tee didn't know what got in to him to sit beside Tae. It's as if he was in a trance and couldn't help gravitate towards Tae as soon as he saw him.

"Are you guys friends now? I didn't know you even knew each other!" Max asks Tae.

Tae puts his arm around Tee's shoulder and says that they became friends since their first encounter.

Before anyone could ask any more questions, Tae changes the conversation topic and orders a few more drinks for everyone. Even though everyone was curious, if Tae did not want to speak more on the subject, nobody dared ask him more on the subject.
