The F5 (Fraternal Five)

Ride

"Ayeee look who's finally joining us!" Off greets Win loudly as the boyfriends descend down the stairs.

"Welcome back, Phi!" Win plays along, grinning cheekily at a confused Singto.

"Not him, you!" Off hits the back of Win's head.

Win pouts rubbing his head. "Not my fault I never got invited ...."

"Ai brat, you know where to find us! Don't be such a snob," scolds Off.

"Papii, not now! We rarely have family quality time, so don't ruin this." Gun scolds him in turn. "Hug it out for me?"

"Ai Teacup, you take the parent role too far!"

Gun chuckles before all of the sudden dropping his smile and says, "I said, hug it out."

"Yessir!" Off springs into action at Gun's menacing growl. Win returns the hug laughing.

"Should I start calling you Papii, too?"

"No!" Off and Gun shout their answers in unison.

Win exhales exaggeratingly. "That's relieving to know."

"Just another day in Off-Gun household ...." New remarks chuckling.

"Call us the OG. Heh."

"Hey!" Tay grins at the couple. "That's actually quite catchy."

"Right? What's yours, P'Tay?"

"Tay Tawan Thitipoom." New blurts out, then gets embarrassed by himself.

Tay laughs glancing at his BF. "Nah, just plain old Tay-New is fine."

"Newwiee Tay Tawan." New tries again.

"So wordy! Are you naming a child or something??" Off scolds jokingly.

"I swear you four always have the weirdest conversation." Mix shakes his head baffled. "Are  you trying to trick your FBI agents or something?"

The four—along with Win—fall silent as they don't get the joke.

"Um, what FBI agents?" Win asks in place of everyone.

"Ai Mix, you spend too much time on Tiktok!" Earth laughs.

"There are FBI agents on Tiktok? That's ... cool." Win blinks amazed.

"Ai Nong Win, that's not it!"

"Guys! Our ride is here." Singto announces. "Ready?"

"Let's do this!"

They all pile into a 12-passenger van with a hired driver, courtesy of the university. New, Tay, Win, Mix take the backseat, Gun, Off, Earth in front of them, and finally Singto, Krist, Bright sit right behind the driver.

"How's everyone feeling?" Tay looks around grinning as they take off to the university building.

"You're hyped." New states amused.
