---In one 4-bedroom apartment lived 7 best friends. Syd, Yeo, AG and Blake have been friends since they were in high school. Max and Taylor are twins who were in the same varsity as AG in college, 2 years lower than his batch. He was always with them so eventually they became close to the others. While Rain, same age as the twins, was in several off-campus dance projects with Bake. Plus their girlfriends are cousins so they got along well. And again, Rain was introduced to the rest and they got the same jam. Originally, it's just the four older guys who live together in NYC when they already graduated from college. Eventually, when the three others got off college, they worked in the same city so they decided to just live together and got a bigger apartment. The twins are originally from LA; AG is born and raised in Chicago; and Rain is from Seattle. All of them just spent high school in NYC. In the loft, the roommates are Max, Taylor, Blake and Rain; and the rest of them have their own rooms. One valentine's day. Kitchen. AG is brewing some coffee, while the three young ones are eating cereals by the island counter.
Blake: (fixing his tie) Whoa-ho! It's gonna be a crazy day today for sure. Any plans you guys?
Max: Oh I'm definitely gonna be out on a date tonight, bro.
Rain: Me too.
Taylor: Got no plans, so I'm just buying some good dinner. Who's with me? (raises hand)
---Syd arrives and gives Taylor a high five.
Syd: Count me in. (buttons his shirt)
Taylor: Cool! Who else?
AG: Not a fan of this season so count me in. (drinks coffee)
Blake: Please don't tell me you're gonna have a Singles' Night Out? (drinks coffee)
Taylor: (nods) Not bad, right? (to Syd and AG)
AG: Not bad at all.
Max: Ugh these buzzkills! Come on you guys. It's more fun to date you know.
Blake: Nah, just let 'em. Anyway, any news about our 8th housemate? 'Coz seriously, the landlord won't give up on increasing our rent.
Taylor: Sorry, my colleague just backed out.
Rain: Yeah me too. He just got reassigned to Florida. (eats)
Yeo: (steps out of his room)(wearing jacket) Good morning kids.
Syd: Hey. 'You on leave today bro?
Yeo: Yeah I'm picking up my cousin from the airport then we're dropping by our house and probably I'm gonna hang out there for a bit, too.
Blake: Oh yeah, today's the day huh. Rocky, right?
Yeo: Yep. (grabs keys) Hey, some singles available tonight joining me here?
---the three raised their hands.
Yeo: Cool. I'm buying booze.
Taylor: You're the best!
Yeo: (winks and clicks tongue) And oh, whoever's gonna pass by some drugstore or something, please get some masks and other disinfectants. We need to stock up with the virus rumors going around. I'll see you guys later.
---and Yeo went off.
Max: Hey can I bring Lisa later?
AG: Nope, no girls allowed, remember?
Blake: 'You planning on sleeping with her here? Not gonna happen. You don't even have your own room, you bastard.
Max: (groans) Ugh, fine.
