2 weeks after Moon and Silk broke up, his Instagram hit a flatline. He felt nothing because ever since he had confronted Earth about Ice, he had felt less and less attracted to Silk anyway.

And to make things worse, his Phi insisted that he ate with them at R&D to help him take his mind off his breakup. Which meant he had to spend more time with Earth. The meeting table (where Ice and Fai had their first rendezvous) was filled with the Jakrawaan, Prajaothaad, and Manoot brothers.

Fai would sit next to (or on top of) Ice, Nam beside him with Might. Rit would occupy the seat on Might's left, and Earth would be beside Rit. So that leaves Moon in between Fai and Earth.

What annoys Moon is that Earth would do these small things to make him notice the senior, and he regretted to admit it, but damn he has a crush on that man. He had always admired Earth for making new flavor combinations that would propel the product into big sellers. And personally, he liked Earth's flavor combination better than his brothers.

"Here, try this soy sauce lime chicken. I made it as an experiment," Earth replied. He placed one onto Moon's plate.

"It's good, P'Earth's cooking is delicious," Nam replied.

"I can't believe only Earth knows how to cook," Rit scoffed.

"It's required for all eldest to know how to cook," Ice replied, cold.

"It's a good thing you have me right, Ice? Wait, I'm the eldest too!" Fai gasped. Ice smiled microscopically. Fai went on to gush about how genius Ice was for that theory and proceeded to interrogate me if I knew how to cook.

Which the answer to was yes. Who do you think makes the delicious lunches that Nam was stealing from Might?

Moon raised an eyebrow and ate the chicken. It was delicious. Making small noises as he swallowed it down, he didn't notice Earth putting more onto his plate.

I watched as Earth gazed at Moon with every bite the man took. My bestie has it bad.

"I sent the picture of you and Moon," Rit told Earth.

"Thanks,"

"How did you get it?"

"Coincidentally, Prija was there. So she took it,"

"The angle looked like you guys were kissing,"

"I know," Earth replied. The night where Moon had confronted him, Prija had just come out of the toilet and hid herself to listen in on their conversation. She must have mistaken them to have a secret rendezvous, so she took a photo.

No doubt to gush about it with Nin later. But the picture has proven to be of use to Earth.

"So, you gonna make a move?" I asked him.

"I already have," Earth replied, while smirking.
