Teacup: Papii.

Papii: Yeah?

Teacup: Papii ....

Papii: What is it?

Teacup: Have I told you that you're the only one for me? And no one compared, and even if Oab's the last human on Earth I still wouldn't marry him? Like he's not THAT bad, but it's just pure, complete platonic between us?

Papii: Heh. As a matter of fact, you have. Five times already, for the last two hours.

Papii: You don't have to text me every other minute. It's rude to be on your phone the whole time, you know, and I'm really fine. Really, Gun.

Teacup: 🥺 Not Teacup? Can I video call you rn?

Papii: No! I'm okay, honest.

Papii: ...Well I'm kinda mad at your agency or whatever but I'm okay, give or take.

Teacup: Papii 😭😭😭

Papii: No please don't misunderstand, I'm not sulking I just wanna be completely honest with you, that's all. But it's only for two days, so please do me a favor and just get back on your job? Don't let me be the reason you don't do well, okay baby?

Teacup: Have I told you that I had this inexplicable urge to kiss you every time you call me baby?

Papii: Have I told you that I had this inexplicable urge to kiss you every time?

Teacup: Papii! That was ✨smooth✨

Papii: I try, heh.

Teacup: Damn, I miss you so much 😭😭😭

Papii: But you just saw me this morning?

Teacup: Still 😭😭😭

Teacup: I gotta go 😭😭😭 We need to take candid photos but know that I'm always missing you, okay?

Papii: OK, OK .... Shoo now.

Teacup: Papii, bye bye! 😍🥰😘❤️

Papii: Bye bye ja.

Tay: Hey Peng you okay? What's with the sky IG stories?

Off: Don't mind me just some self-reminder of how little our problems are compared to the vast sky.

Tay: Err ... did you have a fight with Pet? I'll talk to him.

Off: No, nothing of the sort. Don't bother him.

Tay: OK but what's up? And fr, r u OK?

Off: Remember our solo job date?

Tay: Yeah?

Off: Well the agency wasn't happy about it. First me crashing the interview, then that. So they make Gun and Oab go on an 'unplanned' two-days trip to Phuket. To restore the chemistry, or whatever.

Tay: That's twisted. 😡

Tay: I'm sorry, Peng. Must be tough.

Off: Just ... it's unreasonable but I can't help feeling like shit. I know it's just fan service so why. Even though Gun reassures me time and time again. I feel very powerless. Like am I an embarrassment? A fucking disgrace?? Why do you have to go so far to hide me??

Tay: No, Peng, that's not unreasonable. I feel you, really. And you're nowhere near an embarrassment, please remember that.

Off: Fuck, Peng I'm sorry. I was being insensitive wasn't I?
