the alcohol and kiss did NOT happen in the novel as far as i remember so i can't even predict whats gonna happen next
i read the novel a few months ago and was almost done with it (just the very last chapter) and honestly i forgot, but i remember there was a lot of like "i'm his fan and i must follow the boundaries" stuff back and forth between them before they got tgt and got intimate!
so the kiss as far as i rmb did not happen in the novel hahahaha sorry it's not much help since i can't rmb the details
rip the slowburn/little angst they got going on before they have sex in the novel although i guess having them fuck right now makes it more interesting for later
