With a soft flutter, a single lottery ticket labeled simply "Black Knight Lottery Ticket" landed in front of me. It looked exactly like the scratch-off tickets you could buy at any convenience store. I patted my pockets, searching for a coin. Meanwhile, Bohyun had already started another round of the game without pause, using the cap of a freshly opened soju bottle to play the same game again.
-Tick. -Tick. -Tick.
"Found it!" While everyone else was focused on the game, I fished a coin out of my pants pocket. I scratched the edge of the ticket slowly.
-Scrape. Scrape. Scrape.
Little by little, letters began to appear. [Ch]
"Cheot?" What word started with that? -Tick. -Tick. -Tick. Bohyun's voice cut through my thoughts.
"Juwan, your turn."
"Huh? Oh." -Tick. -Scrape. Scrape. Scrape. I tapped the soju cap lazily and kept scratching. Before long, the result was clear.
[One Piece of Cheongyang Sauce Chicken]
"...Cheongyang sauce chicken?" The reward wasn't what I'd expected. It was literally the side dish sitting right in front of me. It felt almost too trivial to count as a prize.
"J-Juwan senior... please have this... Thank you for earlier." Song Yena smiled shyly and used her own fork to pick up a piece of the boneless Cheongyang sauce chicken, offering it to me.
"Uh... yeah. Thanks." -Nom. I took the piece she offered and bit into it. The same fork that had just been in her mouth was now in mine. An indirect kiss, in a way. Thanks to the lottery, it seemed she was feeding me directly. Or maybe she was just grateful I'd been her black knight. Either way, the ticket vanished from sight a moment later.
"Hah..." I felt strangely deflated. All that for one bite of chicken? It was nice having a pretty freshman feed me, but still... disappointing.
-Tick. -Tick. -Tick.
"Ah!" "Yena lost again~" Bohyun's cheerful voice rang out. Song Yena had lost once more.
"Ha... what do I do..." She sighed heavily, eyes lifting to meet mine.
"S-Senior... this time too..."
"Yeah. I'll be your black knight." -Glug. I poured soju into her glass and downed it in one go. A simpler notification appeared.

Apparently, every time I acted as black knight until the welcome party ended, I'd get another ticket. -Flutter. I grabbed the new ticket and pressed the coin against it immediately.
"Let's change it up. This round, whoever gets the slowest reply on their phone loses."
While we set up the new game, Bohyun was still buzzing with excitement around the pretty freshmen. We each sent a message, then piled our phones in the middle of the table. I texted Taeyoung.
[Taeyoung! Reply right away if you see this! I'll buy you chicken!]
He usually answered fast unless he was deep in a game. I started scratching the ticket again.
-Scrape. Scrape. Scrape.
[So]
"What'll it be this time..." -Scrape. Scrape. Scrape.
[One Shot of Soju]
"...?" So the reward was drinking soju? Because a freshman poured it for me? Even so, drinking soju as the black knight only to get soju as a reward felt pointless. I was starting to think this quest was a bust.
"J-Juwan senior! J-Just a moment." While we waited for the phones to ring, Song Yena called out again.
"I'll pour you a shot of soju." She stood up, glass in hand. "She could just pour it sitting down..." I thought. Then she suddenly downed the entire glass herself in one gulp.
"Hup." Before I could react, she grabbed my chin, tilted my face toward hers, and leaned in. Her soft, moist lips pressed against mine.
"Mmm... chu..." Soju flowed from her mouth into mine, transferred carefully like a mother bird feeding her chick. The soju she'd just swallowed now passed between our lips, warm and slightly sweet. Her scent filled my nose. What had started as separate sounds became one shared rhythm.
"Chuup... chup..." She fed me the soju in small portions. With each passing second, the ratio of saliva to alcohol seemed to increase. The final mouthful was almost entirely her spit. Drinking someone else's saliva should have felt gross, but coming from the cute, pretty freshman Song Yena, it felt more like a reward than anything else. I felt no disgust at all.
"Hah..." My cock was already rock-hard, straining against my pants. When I looked up, Song Yena was staring at me, cheeks flushed—whether from the alcohol or the kiss, I couldn't tell.
"S-Senior... did the soju taste okay?"
"...Yeah. It was good." I felt bewitched. The shy, innocent-looking freshman I'd thought she was had just shown she could turn a man on without even trying. My erection pointed straight at her.
A moment later I glanced around. Bohyun, Lee Ayoung, and the other tables—nobody was reacting to our kiss. They hadn't just missed it. This was the quest's side effect, and I was getting used to it.
-Vrrr~ One of the phones on the table buzzed.
"Phew..." Lee Ayoung's phone had gone off first. She picked it up and started typing a reply.
"Ayoung unni... did you... message Soyeon unni...?" Song Yena asked, face still red, clearly nervous that her own phone hadn't rung yet.
-Vrrr~ Next was Bohyun.
"Yes!" He grabbed his phone happily. Taeyoung was taking longer than expected. I remembered how he'd been glued to his computer when I left the dorm, probably still lost in some wiki rabbit hole.
-Vrrr~
"Oh!" "Ah... Soyeon unni must be busy..." My phone finally buzzed. Song Yena looked relieved and a little flustered. I picked it up with a grin. Taeyoung's reply was there.
[Hyung, can I pick any kind of chicken?]
[Cheongyang sauce chicken please, hyung!]
"Hmm?" Coincidence or not, Taeyoung wanted the same flavor.
"Haa... I lost again..." Song Yena sighed, looking at me with that same pleading expression.
"Senior...?"
"Got it. I'll be your black knight."
"Hey, three times in a row? That's not fair~" Bohyun grumbled, but I ignored him, poured the soju, and drank it down.

-Flutter. The same notification appeared. "What'll it be this time?" I'd been disappointed by the chicken, but the soju kiss had been surprisingly satisfying. The excitement was building. I could keep being the black knight until the party ended. I scratched the new ticket with the same coin.
-Scrape. Scrape. Scrape.
[Ch]
"Ah..." That familiar "Ch" again. I braced myself for another piece of Cheongyang chicken. But when I finished scratching, the result was different.
[First Experience]
"...Huh?" I looked up and found Song Yena staring at me, face burning red, lips slightly parted—the same lips that had fed me soju moments ago.
"Juwan senior... do you want to step outside for some fresh air?"
"Suddenly... air?"
"The alcohol's hitting me... There's a parking lot next to the building... Let's go get some air together." "Parking lot...?" I started piecing the situation together in my head.
