Oh Mr General!

The party got more exciting as the evening progressed into the night. The seniors were getting more and more drunk. They partied as hard as they trained for their competitions.

As for the students that joined recently, the whole time they got to know each other. Especially Sato's table, there were many club members surrounding them. The majority of them were curious about Sato, the prodigy student of University Z, a member of AGS group.

"Sato, so what do you normally do when you are home? Do you study a lot?" Pete, another year 2 student, said to Sato.

"Most of my free time is first spent completing all my assignments. Afterwards, I play Ray Of Light."

"You have time to play Ray Of Light and still do well academically?" Luka who was a 1st year student, said with a shocked expression.

"Yeah, that's crazy... I play Ray Of Light and do my assignments, but I'm definitely not able to beat the scholars or geniuses in my course..." Brook, also a year 1 student, lamented.

"Oh, Sato I heard rumours from my roommate in Mechanical Engineering that you were forced to leave university, but then you managed to come back soon after. Is that true?" Tae Wan said something that caught everyone's attention.

"Wait what? Sato was kicked out of our school? Was it some mistake?"

"Yeah it must be some mistake... He is a part of the AGS group, why would they kick him out of the school?"

"Yeah are you sure this news from your roommate is accurate? It seems rather sketchy to me." Jennifer looked at Sato confusingly. She wanted to know the truth now.

"Haha, what Tae Wan just said is true. I was forced to leave the school due to an executive decision at the top. I wasn't able to pay for the school fees this semester and so I had to leave." Sato smiled while explaining. It was all in the past for him.

"Then, how did you come back so fast?" Jennifer asked.

"Well, I had what you would call a fortuitous encounter?" Sato still remembered how the day he met Gray went down.

Heading for an interview to become a General's Personal Assistant, he encountered a theft case on the way. Inadvertently, he helped out Gray. It was from then on, Sato's and Gray's life crashed together and became one.

"During my darkest days, I made myself a big brother that cared for me greatly. He helped to get my life together, watching out for me whenever he could. It was thanks to him that I was able to get back to school so fast." Sato smiled unintentionally when talking about Gray. Those around Sato could tell that he was genuinely blissful and not faking it.

Tae Wan patted Sato on the shoulder after hearing the story. "It's great that you found someone to help you out along the way, Sato. If you do not mind, would you count me as your friend too?"

"Oh oh me too! Me too! I wanna be your friend too!" Jennifer chimed in excitingly.

"I wanna be your friend too, Sato..." Everyone around the table spoke out Sato. Their words truly made Sato happy and also thankful for what he had now. Mostly, he was thankful for Gray. Ever since the day he met Gray, his life started to turn for the better. Gray was his lucky angel, his saviour.

"Thank you guys. I am delighted to call all of you my friends." Sato smiled while crying out involuntarily. He couldn't help it, but tear up after what his newly found friends said to him. Sato tried to wipe his tears away, but it continued to flow out.

"It's alright, Sato. Cry it out. You've been through a lot and I'm sure you have been holding in all that tension until now." Jennifer who majored in Emotional Councilling of Psychology. She gently rubbed Sato's back as she guided him through his experiences.

...

When Sato calmed down after what had happened, their party started to turn up again. The other time was only the Senior Taekwondo students that drank a lot. Now, even the juniors started to join in. Sato, who never actually tested his alcohol tolerance, ordered a gin and tonic to try. The alcohol went down his throat, warming up his entire body. Sato felt a rush immediately. It was something he had never experienced before.

Not only that the club members started to play some party games. This time, they decided that they would play the King Game. In poker cards, there were cards numbering from Ace to King (Depending on the number of players). Everyone would pick up a card and the one that has the King card can order specified numbers to do whatever they want. If they cannot accomplish the task, they would have to drink a shot.

Sato and his newly found group of friends decided to play altogether.

Picking up a card, Sato picked up '4'. On the other hand, Tae Wan got the 'King' card.

"Alright, I would like number 6 to sing and dance to the Chicken Song!" Tae Wan decided to ask the mystery person to do something embarrassing.

It turned out to be Brooke. The junior decided that he would rather do the task than to drink a shot. And so, the boy started to dance and sing to the chicken song while everyone laughed and clapped along. The atmosphere was lively.

Eventually, the game progressed for a while and everyone was more or less high from alcohol. Sato was a rather lightweight drinker, since it was his first time drinking so much in one sitting. He was tipsy from 4 shots of Vodka.

Picking up his card, Sato was once again just a random number 9. This round, Pete was the King of the round. Cheekily, he looked around before saying his command.

"I would like the 'Queen' to kiss '9' on the lips."

"Huh?" Sato stoned a little before realising that number 9 was him. Raising his hand, he realised that he was to kiss Jennifer.
