Watching as the girls took their turns, Minseok could feel the excitement continue to grow in his chest. It was the same feeling he had when he had been dropped off at the airport in preparation for his big American journey. It was a warm sensation that started from his stomach and rose to his chest before fluttering back down again. He could only describe it as… well… butterflies. It was a mixed feeling of excitement, joy and nerves that were swishing around inside his body and escaped past his lips as his mouth spread into a large grin that was making his cheeks hurt. He couldn’t remember the last time he had smiled so much.

Hearing Gussie’s instructions about moving the cups to the side, Minseok nodded and was about to do so – before Isaac stopped him. “You have to drink what’s in the cup because they got the ball in it” he informed him before taking one of the cups and quickly drinking its contents with ease. Oh… Oh yeah. He had forgotten about that. He had been so caught up in the whole ‘how to throw the ball into the cup’ thing that he actually completely forgot the purpose of throwing it in – so the others would have to drink it.

Bringing up the cup to his nose, he gave it a quick sniff. Okay, yeah, that smelt like alcohol. Okay… so… this was going to be his first sip of alcohol… Ever… Okay. He didn’t need to make it into some huge thing. He didn’t need to declare to everyone that this was his first time drinking anything that you had to be of age to drink. It wasn’t a big deal – right? Right. Jumping over that mental barrier, he brought the cup to his lips and did as Isaac had done – skulled the whole cup.

Oh damn. Why did he do that?

The taste of the beer caught him off guard, causing him to release his physical reaction of a cough while mid-drinking. As some of the beer spilled from his mouth and cup after the cough, Minseok removed the cup from his lips before covering his mouth with his hand to try and control the cough. Oh man, the beer was going up into his nose and everything. Isaac was obviously amused by it as he patted him on the back and asked if he was okay – thank the Lord the other boy was just assuming Minseok had coughed mid-drinking and not that he was caught off guard by the whole taste.

Once he composed himself once more, Minseok nodded to Isaac before lifting up the cup to his lips once again and attempting to drink the remainder of the drink. Now that he was finally used to the taste, it wasn’t going down as harshly as before. He placed the cup aside, before taking a moment to watch Isaac’s attempt to getting the ball into the girl’s cups. And… he failed. Oh, man. Right. It was his turn now.

Taking hold of the ball, Minseok positioned himself in the centre of the table, looking towards the other side of the table where the cups stood. Even though Gussie told him not to, he couldn’t help but start to calculate in his brain the physics behind it all. This time, though, it only took a couple of seconds for him to finish the equation in his head. And once that equation was sorted, he threw the ball and it landed straight into a cup right in front of Gussie.

AUGUSTA​

Gussie could easily sense the excited energy just flowing off of Minseok and couldn't help but grin back. It was contagious. She never knew beer pong could make someone this happy but it was actually really nice to see, a nice change from the usual sweaty, incoherent people that usually played.

She had just taken a step back from the table to avoid the possibility of interfering when the ball was thrown when she heard Isaac's words. Traditionally, yes, you had to drink all the beer from the cup the ball had landed in. However, in most of the games she'd ever played, they just moved the cups to the side without drinking anything. Not a lot of them were beer fans.

"No you don't," Gus countered, but too late, Minnie had already started drinking. And now he was choking. Great. She had an inkling that this might be his first time drinking and wow, what a great way to start. Beer was like... the worst first drink ever. Start with a mixed drink, wine, anything but beer. "Good going, Isaac." she snapped. "Are you okay, Min?"

It seemed like he was since he'd already started eyeballing the cup he was aiming towards, but it didn't hurt to ask. She watched the ball from the moment it was thrown until it landed in the cup. Impressed, Gus looked up, winked at Minseok and then retrieved the ball. She only drank a few sips from the cup before putting it to the side.

"Contrary to what Isaac said," she began, shooting Isaac a look, "you don't have to drink when the ball lands in the cup. If you play by the traditional rules, I'd suppose that you'd have to drink every time, but we don't play by the traditional rules." In fact, she didn't even know what the traditional rules were--there were so many changes and additions. "Most of us don't drink the contents of the cup when the ball lands in it. We just move it to the side. And oftentimes, when we play, the cups are filled with water instead of beer."

Not today apparently. "To make it interesting, we take a sip from whatever drink we have when the ball lands in the cup." Plus, if they chugged a cup of beer every time the ball landed in it, they'd be completely shitfaced in no time. Plus, that much beer would probably destroy your stomach and digestive system.

Gussie nudged Bethany to take her turn and the dumb bitch decided to show off by attempting a behind the back shot. Safe to say she failed miserably. Rolling her eyes, Gus took her turn and threw the ball. It landed in a cup but spun around the lip a few times, apparently undecided whether or not it wanted to pop out of the cup or fall in. Eventually it splashed into the beer and she let out a large sigh of relief.
