"I think it might be the last time I'll perform here. Kirin was already stripped off by my true self. I already told them I am Kuea Keerati" Gemini just sigh and gave him an assurance smile after. He reached his shoulder and tapped it.

Kuea only smiled back, he felt sad but at the same time, he feel contentment.

"Well, I guess everything has to end. I am just so happy you gave my club a chance to rise and even compete with Pentagon in a meantime" he shook his head as he disagree with Gemini's statement. He knew that Gemini don't even need to compete with Pentagon cause his club has already regular customers.

"I want to thank you also for giving me chance to perform and be a singer. That at least in my life, I did something that can make me happy" Gemini couldn't express his happiness seeing the lad who was afraid to sing in front of everyone and now manage to catch those people's attention with his angelic voice. He was so proud of him, he knew Kuea had potential.

"For the last time. Own the stage as you did before Kirin"

---

"It's been a long time since we go out in the club" Jaab excitedly expressed.

Kuea's gang is in the Gemini's club to witness his last stage. They were aware of Kuea's doing and being Kirin since he unmasked himself. Kuea himself invited his friends to give him support, for the last time.

"Yeah we are always stuck at bbq house" Tony agreed to Jaab.

Syn step out first to go to the comfort room then later on Nuer went next to him. Nunchy, Tony, and Jaab stare at each other getting hints of what just happened. They knew that the two have something understanding but the two just pretended nothing happen between them.

"There you are Diao!" Tony saw Diao approaching them. He started to wave his hand as he got closer to them.

"Oh hi, guys!" Diao seated next to Tony and he beamed a smile at them. But Jaab just gave him an unusual look.

"Where's Kuea? You're not together?" he asked while he is checking Kuea in every corner of the club.

"Jaab?? Don't try to tease him!" Nunchy scolded him.

"Ah, Kuea? He's coming" Diao responded.

"Oh you didn't come here together?" he tried to corner Diao for fun.

"Again Jaab. I am warning you!" Nunchy eyes sharpen at him but he continues to be not bothered.

"But Jaab is right. You didn't come together. Are you guys??? Having LQ?" Tony secondary asked Diao. Again in a funny way just to tease him.

"LQ?" Diao was seriously clueless.

"You know... Lovers Quarrel" Jaab enlighten Diao.

"Jaab?!!!" Nunchy had enough and she started to smack their heads hard so they can come to their senses.

"You know why Kuea and Diao keep their relationship secret. Because someone like you would be this nosy and annoying" Nunchy snapped out. Tony and Jaab just stop and hit something on them.

"Nunchy it's okay. You're Kuea's close friends---"

"Also you're also our friend too" Tony interrupts Diao. The three of them gave him warm smiles.

"I know it's not your intention to share with us that Instagram update you did last time. I know deep in your heart, you wanted to shout out his name and be proud you are his boyfriend"

Diao was just thankful to have this friend like them. Especially Nunchy, the way she supported Kuea in every single thing he did. Diao felt so happy knowing some people around them were acknowledging them.

Minutes just passed, and Nuer and Syn were back from their tables. Their friends especially Jaab and Tony were ready to tease them but they notice Syn's worried face and Nuer was having plain expression.

"Syn?? Are you okay?" Jaab asked Syn as soon he get on his seat.

"I'm okay" but Syn's face can't hide his worries.

"Don't worry, we will never let you go here alone. Besides we're not always going to place like this" Tony tried to assure Syn while his eyes directed wanting to tell something Nuer.

"Kuea's ex-fiancé is here" Nuer straight forward told the gang about it. He can't just lie about it.

It gets Diao's attention and he just simply listens to them.

"I told you not to tell them sooner" Syn was about to throw his hands to Nuer but he is just shaking his hand.

"I may not know what was he about to but just go with the flow, we won't let him tell it to Kuea until he finishes his performance tonight. We're just going to keep an eye on him just in case" Diao stand up and told the gang about it.

---

"After I finished my last song..." Kuea was down to his last song before he wrapped up the stage. He looks at the table where his friends, especially Diao sitting. He eyed Diao while he is trying to conceal the tears from his eyes.

"The reason why I was here in front of you was because of the person the only one who believes in me and the only person who sees the true me. I wanted to say thank you for staying and for being with me." Kuea shifted his eyes to the audience as he flashed his warm smile. He wanted to look at them and cherish them for the rest of my life.

"Now my dream came true, I just wanted to say to all of you guys coming here to cheer me tonight that this is my last night with you. Thank you for giving me a chance to perform in front of you, you mean so much to me..." the audience started to murmur such a thing ;

"Don't quit!"
"Don't give up"
"We still want you to hear your voice"

He just gave them bittersweet smiles. Then he quickly shifted his eyes again to Diao, he gave him a thumbs up.

"And to my first fan, I love you" he wiped his tears falling to his cheeks as the music started by...

People were shocked to hear him confess but at the same were so confused about what just happened. While the gang was just cheering for both Kuea and Diao.

Jaab and Tony were the first ones to tap Diao's back. Then they mouthed congratulations.

Nunchy, Syn, and Nuer were clapping their hands for him.

Diao started to fluster as he realize...

"Did Kuea acknowledge our relationship in public already?"

Kuea finished the song and was to bid goodbye to the audience when the random guy gave him a huge bouquet. Kuea confusedly accept the flowers, the crowd started to tease him but he just doesn't mind them and he was eager to find out who gave him that.

"Dear Kuea Keerati,
I want to tell you that I am always your number one fan, from Lian Kilen Wang"

The guy who brought the flower read it out loud the card from the flower. Kuea got flabbergasted by what just happening...

He started to find him in the audience to see him if he was there. After for searching a minute. He found Lian from the upper floor of the bar. He was there all along watching him from there. When Lian and his eye contacted, he waved his hand as he smirked at him.

"Omg???? Lian Kilen Wang was Kuea Keerati's fiancé!!"

"Ohhh so that Kuea dedicate the last song was for him???"

"Lian was so sweet!!!"

Kuea only walked out from the stage and left the flowers on the floor. He started to run away from the place.
