Oi, how are you?

Bitter-Sweet-I

A/N: I have made a few changes to the last chapter, please check that out. 

"Were you guys not seeing each other?", Team asked softly

Pharm looked at Team briefly and then out of the window. "We met with other friends twice and barely interacted, it was mostly a small talk" Pharm looked at this palm and continued in a subtle voice, "Yesterday, it was just two of us and I had this tightening feeling in my chest when I was with him. I was scared when he asked me to his place but then..." Pharm sighed, "I lost my sanity in the moment"

"P'Dean likes you... I think"

"You think?"

"He always acts lovey-dovey when he is around you", Team mentioned

"He never said anything, maybe it was just physical attraction" Pharm facepalmed "and maybe he is over me now"

"Stop beating yourself, I am sure it will be fine. Talk to him today, I will stall Hia Win so you two could talk", Team suggested

"I am not sure. I will know when I see him"

"Hmm", Team hummed 

*********************************

Win ran to Team as he saw him at the parking lot, leaving Dean behind. 

"Did you come alone?", Win asked. 

"Pharm has gone to the washroom. Am waiting for him". 

Win took Team by surprise as he snaked his arm around Team's waist and kissed his cheek. 

"Ow", Win jumped as he felt the sting from the slap on his ass. "What?", Win questioned. 

"Keep it down", Team angrily stared at Win 

"It's not like there is anyone around", Win smirked and tried stealing another kiss and was again slapped but lightly this time. He turned around facing Team and got close to Team's ear and whispered seductively "My ass stings but I like how it makes me feel. Maybe we could try it in the bed". 

Team's cheeks flushed and pushed Win away. Win laughed amusingly at Team's reaction. "Smug bastard", Team muttered. They heard someone clear their throat and were now worried. 

"Is that how you two gonna keep your dating a secret?", Dean spoke. 

WIn and Team's tense shoulders relaxed as they realized it was just Dean. Team broke free from Win's embrace and greeted Dean. "We are just waiting for Pharm, he should be here any min...

"Hey", Pharm interrupted Team as he joined them. 

Dean looked at Pharm and bowed his head a little and both looked away. Pharm saw the new couple in an embrace and chuckled. "Aren't you swooning, P'Win?",  Pharm teased. Team blushed at the comment and Win just laughed it off. 

"Shall we head to the cultural festival?", Team asked. They all started walking towards the class buildings. Dean and Pharm walked ahead with an awkward gap between two, Win and Team tailed behind. Win laced one of his fingers with Team's and before Team could push him away, Win answered in a soft tone with a smile, "Just until we reach the campus". Team melted at the softness and smiled subtly and walked slowly savouring the touch. 

Four of them reached the class buildings where different stalls were set up by the students. The rush slowed them down. Dean and Pharm kept walking mindlessly and avoided their gaze at every cost. Win was excited about his date with Team even though it was a secret. He was no more holding Team's hand but practically giddying to be with his boyfriend whereas Team's mind was on Pharm. He was waiting for some sort of signal from Pharm so he would know when to leave them alone to talk but there was none from Pharm and he could feel the cold air between the two. They were not even looking at each other let alone talking. 

Win's attention was caught by a contest and he pulled Team with him to participate. 

"Hia, wait. Where are you taking me?"

"Guess the Food Contest. If I win, you will be my plus 1 at my Dean's sister's engagement party"

Team protested but Win interrupted him, "Nobody from college will be there"

"We will see. I definitely won't lose this one", Team huffed and entered the competition to win, forgetting about his friend. The two were blindfolded and the one to guess all the food correct through taste or smell would win. After what seemed like a long, the folds were taken off and they saw their result. Team saw the result and stomped out of the room to find Pharm. 

Win collected the prize, barely able to keep the grin off his face and caught up to Team. 

"Look what I got for the prize" Win dangled the keychain in front of Team and put it in Team's palm, "For you". 

Team smiled at the gesture and put the keychain in his pocket "Let's go find P'Dean and Pharm"

"I will call Dean", Win stated.
