“Shut up you introvert. I’m your only friend. And I saw you naked more than 5 times, so that automatically makes me your best friend,” I rebutted. 

Earth tsked and gave his fries to Nam.

“Thanks, P’Earth,”

I love it that the brothers still love each other even though they are technically in competition. Like Earth will baby Nam when Nam was being a brat. Sometimes, Earth would even take a selfie to please his baby brother. Which says a lot since the picture on his company ID card was the silhouetted guy.

“I want fries too,” Ice grumbled. Earth made it look like he was going to give one but chose to eat it instead. If Earth liked to baby Nam, then he lives to tease Ice. To retaliate, Ice stole Earth’s drink, but when Nam choked on his salad, Ice immediately gave Earth’s drink while Earth gently patted Nam’s back, all the while chiding Nam for not eating properly.

Just watching these brothers were making me sick, but luckily, I have my own brother, whom I can adore and pinch their cheeks.

Satra Manoot (Might), was eating with his friends today. If not, I would have eaten with him instead. At least then I would be spared from the lunch ritual we have here in R&D.

Love confessions (-__-).

“P’Earth! I like you!”

“Nam! Please date me,”

And this would go on and on, at least one admirer per brother would confess. Nam especially, because he was kinda Instafamous, so there were more admirers for him. Earth too, because he was a national champion, and I guess his mysterious aura did make him appealing.

Ice, though, had admirers confessing to him too occasionally. But when they do appear, only the resilient ones come.

“Hey Ice, I think the more you push people away, the more they find it as a challenge to get you as their partner,” I helpfully theorized. Ice raised one eyebrow and shrugged. He was the quietest out of all the brothers, with zero close friends. I feel kinda lonely for his sake. But he was happy with his solitude, so it’s okay.

Out of the corner of my eye, I spied the new intern and her posse as she made her way to us. I knew then, that this would not be an ordinary day.

“P’Ice, I’m Kris Wallace, the new intern at finance! I really like you. Can we get to know each other?” Ms Kris unashamedly asked. She held out her phone expecting Ice to put his Line ID in.

Ice glared at her, sure that it would make her go away, but it only made her smile wider.

“Oy, Kris! My brother is not looking for someone,” Nam laughed, hoping to save her face. But Kris waved her hand like swatting a fly.

“Oh, I know. He has rejected the whole finance team, I heard from my senior. But I’m sure he will like me,” She proceeded to type in her phone and a message popped in Ice’s phone.

“I already have your Line ID, but you looked like you weren’t going to give it to me. So, this is me being assertive,” she winked and then left. Ice grabbed his phone and opened the message, coughing as he saw the (almost) half naked picture of Kris. Nam whistled while Earth futilely tried to shut his eyes.

“Waaaaaa~ Is it because she is half American that she is so bold?” Nam wondered out loud.

“P’Ice, I think you are in trouble,”

Ice deleted her picture and slammed his phone on the table. “I’m not going to reply,”

“Yeah, good luck Ice. I don’t think it will work,” I guffawed along with Earth. Earth tried to give Ice the birds and the bees talk as a joke but was declined when Ice flipped him off. Excusing myself, I made my way to Marketing, my department. There, another drama was unfolding.

Little did I know, both dramas will inexplicably intertwine us all together.
