Gemini turned around towards the familiar voice behind them. It was his older brother, Phuwin, who looked completely out of place with his clothes at the club. Phuwin was dressed in gray sweatpants and an oversized hoodie that had multiple holes and stains on it. While his brother wasn't known for his style, he usually made some effort with his appearance before leaving the house.

Phuwin shifted his gaze away from Gemini and assessed the man sitting next to him on the stool. "You already found a new guy? He doesn't look like the one you announced on your Instagram."

Jumping up, Gemini grabbed Phuwin's arm and pulled him away from Satang. "Can you stop making me sound like some playboy? He's just a friend." Phuwin slipped out of Gemini's grip on his arm. "I was just kidding, relax."

"What are you doing here anyway? You look like you're in your gaming attire," Gemini asked. Phuwin pointed towards the bar with his thumb. "Just picking him up." As Gemini turned around, he saw a young man about Phuwin's age smiling and waving at him. Assuming he was one of Phuwin's friends, Gemini let go of any further questions as he didn't really care enough.

"Is your boy here too?" Phuwin glanced around, scanning the tables and dance floor towards the back in search of the person he had seen on Instagram. Before Gemini could respond, Fourth unexpectedly appeared in front of them, catching Phuwin off guard. "Wow, are you a ghost?" he exclaimed, startled by Fourth's sudden presence.

Fourth nervously shifted his gaze. He had been observing Gemini and Satang with interest when he noticed another man joining their conversation. His curiosity got the best of him as they seemed quite close from a distance. Now that they were face to face, Fourth couldn't help but notice their slight resemblance. Gemini noticed Fourth's uncertain expression and reassured him with a gentle smile before pulling him closer and wrapping an arm around his waist.

"Since you are already here and being noisy," Gemini began addressing his brother whose heart rate was finally returning to normal. "Fourth, this is my older brother Phuwin. Phuwin, this is my boyfriend, Fourth." Upon hearing the new relationship status, Phuwin raised an eyebrow. "Boyfriend? Interesting."

Fourth nervously greeted him, never expecting to encounter a member of Gemini's family so soon. He had read extensively about the importance of making a good impression on your partner's family and was well aware how important it was to be liked by them. Phuwin took a moment to assess the math major from head to toe. "Mom will have a heart attack. I thought telling her that I'm married might make her kick the bucket but when she hears that her favorite son not only got a boyfriend but one with a disability? She'll be six feet under in no time."

"YOU WHAT?!" Gemini exclaimed, lunging forward and grabbing Phuwin by his collar.

"Sir, calm down," Phuwin responded calmly, gently removing his brother's hands from his collar.

"But yes, we got married during our trip to Australia last year," he explained while pointing back towards the bar. This time Gemini didn't need to turn around; he knew exactly who his older brother was referring to - the male bartender. He had thought that nothing could surprise him anymore when it came to his brother, but he couldn't have been more wrong.

Gemini settled back onto the stool beside Satang who observed this unfolding drama with amusement. Satang secretly enjoyed watching dramatic TV shows; in fact, they were even better if they were over-the-top and unrealistic. He wished he had some popcorn though for added enjoyment.

Fourth, on the other hand was astonished by the fact that Gemini's brother was already married, asking him all kinds of questions. Phuwin found Fourth's innocent amazement quite amusing and eagerly provided answers to his questions.
