Fai didn't show up to lunch the next day after 1 month of doing it for Ice. Ice was so used to having Fai prepare his lunch that he didn't prepare for his own.

"Oh? Fai isn't here today?" Nam asked.

"Well, at least my darling is here to give ME lunch, na? Might~!" Might obligingly handed Nam his share.

"Didn't prepare lunch? Want some of mine?" Earth teased. Ice huffed and proclaimed that he would rather starve.

"Oi Oi Oi! You don't need to starve. Your darling sent you lunch~" I placed the lunch in his space. He looked at it like I was trying to poison him.

"Oh, Fai had something to do," I supplied him. He tentatively poked the container, before deeming it safe then proceeded to shove some food into his mouth. After chewing it, he swallowed with great difficulty, looking at me again.

"Did he buy this?"

"Eh? Isn't that his cooking?" I asked. I took a bite and then confirmed it. "Why?"

"It tastes different," he said sullenly.

After 3 days of Fai not showing up, Ice went to marketing with his lunchbox I brought with me. The first time I told Fai that Ice said his food tasted different, Nin and Moon teased him about it, claiming that it tasted different because Fai didn't hand feed it. Fai blushed a bit, but then returned to sulking again. He's been doing that lately, looking at his phone and then sulk. I think something happened to him.

But back to Ice, I followed him when he insisted that Fai wasn't busy. He knew because he asked someone (Nin) in marketing for their schedule. As soon as he appeared, the interns started screaming and Sin made his way to Ice.

"Sin," Ice greeted. Sin smiled and Chaisee repaired her hair. They blocked him from entering as a poor attempt to stop him from seeing Fai. Fortunately, Moon came to the rescue.

"Ahh~ You guys, we have to submit this to finance," he pulled both of the troublemakers forcefully, ignoring their protests and winking at Ice. Ice raised a hand, as a silent thanks. He made his way to Fai and dropped his lunch.

"Ice!" Fai gulped.

"If you were tired of me already, you don't have to make me lunch," Ice scolded him.

"I'm not tired of you! I'm giving you a break," Fai whined petulantly.

"Thank you for the break, now what happened?" Ice asked.

"Nothing," Fai insisted.

"Something happened," Ice replied. Fai looked at Ice before sighing.

"I'm using you," Fai sighed. Ice seemed taken aback.

"Using me? Doesn't that go both ways?"

"NO! Because I like you and want a relationship. But my intentions were to gain BL fans as my followers. And, and you don't even like me at all. I mean, there's no use for it if you don't feel like it right?" Fai asked, his eyes tearing up.

Ice picked up Fai's phone and opened up his Instagram. Boldly, he slipped behind Fai and made him sit on his lap again.

"Ice! What?"

Ice snapped a selfie of him holding Fai, captioned 'We are trying'. Uploading it, he looked expectantly at Fai. Fai waited for the information to sink in before smiling so happily.

He turned around and hugged Ice.

"Does it mean I can pursue you? Honestly?" Fai whispered against Ice's shoulder.

"I told you from the beginning, court me," Ice replied. Fai nodded, happy.

Fai was still on cloud nine when his brother returned. He saw both Sin and Chaisee looking angry when he remembered their words. He was still on Ice's lap feeding him lunch. Again.

"...Me and Sin both liked Ice, without any other intention than to be with him. There are no pretenses to our feelings,"

"Ice....you know...if you wanted to see other people while I'm courting you...I don't mind," Fai suddenly said. Ice stopped eating immediately.

"What?"

No! Fai what are you doing?! (T_T)

"I mean...see other people? To make sure that I am the right one?" Fai asked again.

"You want me to see other people?" Ice asked for confirmation. His tone was so cold, that I thought he was going to freeze everything.

"...yes?"

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!! (T O T)

Ice stared at Fai for sometime before smiling in a cynical fashion.

"Very well," Ice said, standing up. He didn't even finish his lunch.

"Let's see other people," with that he left, Fai looking lost. I approached him with Nin and Prija.

"Fai, why?" Fai looked at his two friends but couldn't answer.

"Actually I'm not here for that. Can I finish that lunch?" I asked.
