Born to Hate

10

Joong and Pond heard a knock on their door before it opens, revealing Dunk. "Food's ready," Dunk smiled at them. "Oh right. We will be right there," Pond thanked Dunk who closed the door and let them be. "Look at his small smile! It's so cute and pretty!" Joong winced and Pond groaned in annoyance. "Oh please." Pond got off the bed and walked out of the room, leaving a dreamy smiley Joong alone in the room.

Pond head down and found everyone settling down around the dining table filled with different types of dishes and plates with rice. "Damn," Pond settled next to Phuwin who grinned widely. "Finally proven I'm not just a young master!" Dunk snorted, "This? Gemini and I made most of them, young lord. You were just sizzling vegetables and cooking the egg." Phuwin groans. "Well, it was a first time and it went well, didn't it?" Joong soon came down and sat on the empty seat next to Pond. "A whole damn feast." Joong mumbles as he immediately digged in. Everyone followed after and had a nice dinner, chatting loudly with one another. Except for one person. Gemini had his eyes stuck onto Fourth the entire time. The way the younger chewed on his food, the way his cheeks would puff up, the way he would listen to his friends' conversations and his eyes would turned into a crescent. Everything seemed so adorable coming from him. Gemini smiled, adoring the other. "Keep it down, you look weird." Force nudged Gemini's shoulder. Gemini still had his smile on and faced Force. "Watch me. By next week, Fourth will be mine." That little smile of his turned to a smirk real quick as he continued to munch on his food.

"Let me help you with that," Phuwin turned his head slightly to his left to notice Pond. "Oh, thanks!" Phuwin smiled and moved to his left to allow Pond to fit next to him. As Phuwin was cleaning the plates with soap, Pond was washing of the soap and putting away the plates for drying on a mat. With the two doing the dishes, what seemed like many plates and cutleries seemed so little. "Thanks for helping," Phuwin smiled yet again towards Pond who gave him a small smile back. He tore off a piece of hand towel and reached out to Phuwin's hands to dry it gently. He cleaned every spot and in his head, appreciate every small thing about his hands. His smooth palms, his short and clean nails, his slender fingers and the paleness of his hands. It was all beautiful to him. It was so expected for Phuwin. He would have never thought that Pond would go that far to dry his hands for him. "There we go, all clean and dry." Pond smiled and threw the hand towel away while still holding onto Phuwin's hands gently, holding it from his palm as if Phuwin was a princess and he was the prince in a fairytale. "Thanks..." Phuwin mumbled out with his head turned away from Pond. He knew his cheeks had a pinkish hue and he felt embarrassed. Pond looked at Phuwin and smiled. "Why are you looking away from me?" Pond asked, pretending to be oblivious. Phuwin was unable to reply, even if he wanted to speak up, his voice could not come out. Pond changed the direction he was facing to be in front and eye to eye towards Phuwin. The younger's eyes widen and was about to look away when Pond captured him by using his hands to put it on Phuwin's cheeks. Both male had a staring competition, looking into each other's orbs and seeing their own reflection on it. "Do you know how pretty you are?" Pond complimented Phuwin who did not see that coming. His pink cheeks became red and he let out a groan. Pond smiled at how he could make the male in front of him feel all giddy and flushed. Perhaps it was a perfect time. Pond shook his head. Everything was going too fast. Phuwin may not be used to it. He sighed and squished the soft cheeks of Phuwin before letting it go. "I'll wait, Phu," Pond smiled and walked off. Phuwin was left in a pink mess. He let out a defeated groan and squatted to the ground, hugging his knees tightly to his body. "No way he just did that..."
