Erin grins at his anxious appearance, thinking he looks like a cute bunny. She lifts up her beer and taps it to his, "Cheers!"

"Cheers…" Daniel reciprocates the gesture and takes an experimental sip. 'Urk, it's bitter and sour at the same time! And it's so gassy too. Why do people like this so much?'

Unlike the conservative sip he takes, Erin takes a much larger swig and empties a third of the bottle in a single gulp.

"Ahhh! That hits the spot!" She exclaims, using the back of one hand to wipe the lingering beer from her lips.

"Noona, you sound like an old uncle…" Daniel laughs.

"What! How are you so disrespectful with your noona? Drink some more as your punishment!" She tilts the lip of the beer into his mouth. The gassiness of the carbonation and acrid taste made Daniel unable to drink as well as she could, causing some of it to spill out of his mouth.

"Puah, don't do that noona!" He scolds as he coughs. Even with just a few sips, Daniel could feel his face heating up from the alcohol. Since this body naturally have never drank any before, it had a weak tolerance to alcohol even just from beer.

Erin sees the redness on his cheeks and bites on her lower lip from the cuteness emanating from the teenager that looked more like a guy her age. She spots beer dribbling from the corner of his lips and down his neck and thinks this was a good opportunity to assert more control.

She suddenly leans forward and licks the beer from his neck, tasting the sourness of both the beer and his skin.

"N-noona, what are you-!?" Daniel was a little taken aback from her sudden actions, after getting caught offguard with alcohol.

"What? I just thought it would be a waste… you didn't like it?"

"Rather than not liking it…" He didn't finish his words, as he felt his little buddy now rising from its slumber. He had already been worked up earlier while with Brooke, so it didn't take much stimulation to excite him now.

"So you liked it? Oh what to do, this cutie seems so excited! Maybe you should drink more to calm down." She chuckles while downing the rest of her beer.

'Wow, she wasn't lying, she can drink really well. And why does she keep trying to make me drink…?' He wonders to himself while taking another sip. Maybe he was getting used to the taste, but the bitterness and acidity didn't taste as bad as before. Or perhaps it was because a beautiful girl was drinking with him.

The flush on his face deepens, both from the alcohol and from Erin teasing him earlier. Seeing his ruddy cheeks, Erin couldn't help but tease him further.

She lays a hand on his thigh and continues, "So you said you prefer mature noonas? Why is that?"

He didn't know why he was feeling anxious from her sudden physical contact when he had done so much more with Sophie, so he took another sip of liquid courage and replied, "I don't know, I just feel that there is less baggage with mature noonas, and they would have less drama?"

Daniel actually felt a little bad saying this since neither Brooke nor Sophie brought drama or baggage with them. They both earnestly wanted to date him, and seemed to be willing to do anything he wanted them to do if it meant they could spend more time with him.

But he couldn't just sing the praises of other girls he had met when he was with someone else right now.

"Oh? Was that girl who looked like your little sister very dramatic? Did she cause a scene after you left the café?" Erin asked teasingly, becoming increasingly comfortable with skin contact as they sat on the bed together.

The alcohol was also starting to buzz in Daniel's mind. He had a weak tolerance for alcohol, so even half a bottle was now making him feel lightheaded. The inhibitions in him were also slowly loosening, and he was becoming more comfortable being in the room of a girl with said girl next to him.

He wrapped an arm around Erin and pulled her closer to him while taking another swig from the beer.

"I think she was a little jealous of how we were talking? She was so angry at you that she punished the moles at the arcade we went to afterwards."

"An arcade? That's cute… though I guess it is fitting for a date between highschoolers. But she was jealous huh? I see what you mean by drama." Erin says while nestling deeper into Daniel's torso, his hard pecs giving her a sense of safety and security.

Daniel could now smell her shampoo and even the fabric softener she had used on her clothes, with how close they were. He felt like a bad boy, drinking beer with a girl in her room and talking bad about someone he had just been on a date with.

'But girls like bad boys, right? Although Sophie and Brooke both kept saying that I'm nice too… I'm so confused, what type of guys are more attractive then? I should ask this noona, she seems experienced with dating.'

"Noona, do girls prefer a bad boy or a nice guy?" He asked out of the blue.
