The F5 (Fraternal Five)

YES

Later that night, the gang and their couples get together at Bangna to celebrate Mix, Tay, and Singto's birthdays before the latter flies back to the states.

"Okay, hear me out." Earth whispers conspiratorially.

"YES!" Gun claps excitedly.

"WTH Teacup? He hasn't said anything."

"Aw? Earth always comes up with fun ideas!"

"Appreciate that, Nong Gun." Earth bows dramatically. "As I was saying—"

"No." Mix cuts him off harshly.

"Ai Mix ...!"

"You always come up with the weirdest ideas!"

"Champagne milkshake!" Earth blurts it out anyway.

Off hits his head. "That sounds disgusting."

Gun looks tortured. "OK maybe not always. Often."

"Champagne in helium balloons!" Earth tries again.

"Actually, that sounds fun!" Gun giggles. "We'll sound funny and stupid both!"

"That sounds stupid." Mix rolls his eyes. "And gross. What is it with you and champagne?"

"ThAt sOUnds stOOpId." Win mocks Mix with his helium voice. As everyone laughs, he adds cheekily, "Way ahead of you guys!"

"You know what, let's do this!" Tay grins. "Let's go crazy once in a while."

"Fine by me." Singto shrugs. Mouth stuffed with popcorn, Krist nods aggressively beside him.

"I'm in I guess." Bright chuckles, eyes still fixed on Win.

"Yay! Papii?" Gun turns to Off, activating the puppy eyes.

"Nope. Not doing it." Off crosses his arms.

"Then, I'll just do it with the others!" Gun pouts clinging to Tay, who welcomes his pet with open arms.

"Hey, hey! Okay, count me in. Geez." Off grumbles, pulling Gun away from Tay.

"But like ... how do we put it in there?" Leaning against Tay casually claiming what's his, New frowns thinking. "How about something less extreme, guys?"

"My Hin is so smart!" Tay beams giving New's head small pats.

"Okay, hear me out." Earth's at it again.

"YES!" And Gun's being his ever trusting supporter again.

"Not yet!!" The rest scolds Gun. The latter pouts cutely at Off, who laughs at his boyfriend but still pulls him for a consoling side hug.

"Never have I ever." Earth beams proudly.

"Boo!"

"Lame!"

"Very original!"

"Nope, I'm not done." Earth smirks, pausing for necessary suspense. "Couple edition. Nong Win, you don't mind coupling with Bai for tonight, right?"

"For me?" Mix beams at Win, making his friend chuckle.

"Er, er."

"Can New be excused? He's our designated driver and has a big exam tomorrow." Tay speaks up.

"Sure, just drink his share." Off sports an evil smirk.

"What the hell ...." Tay whines.

"It's okay, Te, I can handle a few glasses." New says, voice thick with guilt at the recollection of the events of Tay's actual birthday. "It's your birthday celebration, after all. Let me make up for—"
