"Shit"

Dunk laughed quietly as everyone took a seat. "Eh? Dunk? Fourth?" The two boys looked back up and realised the male sitting right across them was none other than "Book?" Both males said with a bright smile. "What are you guys doing here?" Book asked with a bright smile too. It had been so long since he last saw them. "Huh? The event is partnered alongside Phuwin's family." Dunk answered as Book gasped, "Right! No wonder the name sounded so familiar!" Soon, the tanned male nudged Book as if telling him to introduce the two boys to them. "Ah right! Guys this is Dunk and Fourth! I used to be their tutor but we stopped after Dunk chose a different path and Fourth went to university." Book introduced as everyone nodded their head. "Oh and Dunk, the guy next to you is Joong," Book pointed out as he then pointed to the male next to him, "This is force and next to him is Pond!" Dunk and Fourth smiled and 'wai' all of them. "I recognise you, aren't you a model? Your recent appearance was just last week with Chanel, wasn't it?" Joong asked Dunk who nodded with a slight surprise. "You remember and knew? That's really cool and kind of nice of you!" Dunk replied. Fourth stared at the two boys conversing with each other with a slight smirk. He knew.

"Ladies and Gentlemen. Thank you for attending such event and being part of our growth and family! Before we start the event, let's invite the CEO of Hotel Blu and CEO of Star Sky!" The MC of the event immediately stole everyone's attention as he welcomed two middle aged men to the stage alongside their family. This commenced the start of the event at 12 in the afternoon. Fourth and Dunk took pictures of Phuwin in his formal attire. Instead of looking all smart or funny towards Dunk and Fourth, he seemed all so hot and good looking in it. Everyone gave their fullest attention to the CEOs of their own hotels and startups talking about the collaboration and partnerships. But one thing for sure, there are a few people who were not looking at them, but someone else.

The afternoon buffet started. Fourth and Dunk excused themselves from the table and rushed to the buffet with drools on their chins. They took their plates and stared at the delicious food in front of them. Ranging from appetisers, noodles and rice, seafood, meats and even desserts. As they were waiting for people to take their portions, a tired sigh and wrapping of arms around Fourth's neck scared them. "Ey! Phuwin!" Fourth screeched as he puts down his plate and took a look at the exhausted male. "Never ever invite me to these events. I want to sleep so badly," Phuwin rest his head on Fourth's shoulders. Dunk pokes Phuwin's crown which made him look up. Immediately as soon as he looked up, Dunk shoved a piece of small chocolate cake into his mouth. Phuwin munched and let out of satisfied moan. "Damn that's good!" Phuwin looked back up and started placing bunch of food onto his small plate. The other two could only chuckle at the other's hungry appetite. As soon as they were done, they walked back to the table as Phuwin dragged another chair for him to sit. Slowly, all the guests of the table came back and Book let out another smile. "Phuwin, it has been long," Phuwin looked up with food in his mouth as he let out a surprised sound. He quickly swallowed down his food and covered his mouth with his hands. "Book! What are you doing here?" Even though his hands were blocking his mouth, Book could tell he had the biggest smile plastered on his face at that moment. "I came as a friend of Gemini, the other company's son?" Book answered as Phuwin nodded. "Oh, I see. I didn't know we lived in such a small world!" Phuwin chuckled as Book grinned. "Guys," A low tone of a male caught everyone's attention as a young male with a nice suit came. "Ah Gem, here sit next to Pond." Force patted an empty chair in between Pond and him. Gemini smiled at the older and took a seat. "Gem, those were my students when I was still tutoring people. Phuwin, Fourth and Dunk." Book introduced the three boys or maybe just two of them to Gemini who stared at them before letting out a hum. Everyone on the table started talking to each other again until the end of the event.

"Argh, I'm so full." Dunk said as Fourth guided him to the lobby area as they were waiting for Phuwin. Dunk took a seat on the couch of the hotel lobby as Fourth stood to watch when Phuwin was arriving. Someone soon then walked past him quickly and alongside dropped their wallet. Fourth picked it up immediately and rushed towards them. "Excuse me!" Fourth said to try catching the strangers' attention which he did and soon realise it was not a stranger. "Oh Gemini! Here you dropped your wallet!" Fourth smiled brightly as he soon realised it was one of his new acquaintances. Gemini stared into Fourth's eyes and frowned. "Why aren't I getting annoyed..." He mumbled as Fourth felt awkward while holding out Gemini's wallet. "Uh?" Fourth pushes the wallet closer to Gemini who blinks in confusion. "Oh my bad..Say... what's your name again?" Gemini asked as he gently took the wallet from Fourth. "Oh! It's Fourth!"

Gemini winced as he felt something weird like a chemical reaction in his body from seeing that beautiful smile of Fourth. His stomach felt light and weird. He repeated the name of the male in front of him. "Fourth..." "Oh i gotta go! See you around, Gem!" Fourth waved him a goodbye as he dragged along a full Dunk out of the hotel. Gemini could neither hide nor hold it. He let out a bright smile as he replayed the way Fourth called him. It sounded like a beautiful melody. "That's absolutely scary..." Gemini was forced awake from his dreams by Pond who stared at him with a concerning yet scared face. Gemini rolled his eyes as he walked off with Pond tailing him. "Have you fell in love?" Pond said with a smug. Gemini paused as Pond's face became so clear. "You did!" Pond laughed.
