"Hmm.." A humming sounded in Brick's throat during the installation of the audio system in the customer's car who came to use the service in the store. "Hey, after getting married, you're in a good mood." Boy teased as he helped Brick, who glanced slightly at him. "I'm in a good mood often. It's not just after the wedding." Brick said, but he continued to hum a song in his throat. Boy smiled. "Oh, I thought you were satisfied with the marriage," Boy said, Even though a week had passed, it seemed like Brick had a happy aura all the time. "Well, even if we didn't have a wedding, I and Day still would be happy every day. Now stop teasing me, get to work, or else instead of finding the happiness you'll find. Day's brutally, for sure." Brick threatened, causing Boy to immediately help with Brick's work. After installing the customer's sound system, Brick walks up to Day in the office. Day looked up when he saw a ragged brick entering. "Did you finish setting up the sound system? Day asked quietly, Brick sat on the sofa and ate the snacks he had prepared. "Hmm... it's done. Waiting for another car, then I'll go back to work." Brick replied After the wedding, they didn't go on their honeymoon anywhere as they should have. Day chose to continue working, and Brick didn't demand anything because they had already gone on a trip. The wedding day part was something that Day wanted to do. for Brick and his family. Even though they were both men. Trimm... Trimm The phone rang. Brick picked up and looked at the number before answering the call. "What's up Four?" Brick asked. Day didn't look at his lover because he was checking documents, but he was listening. "Hmm...it's Gus's birthday. I can't reach Gear. Where is it going to be?" Brick said to his friend looking at his lover when Four said the place. "Hmm...I'll ask Day first," Brick told his friend for his lover to hear too. Day looked at Brick "What?" Day asked. "Well, tomorrow is Gus's birthday, Gear's brother. So Four invited us to celebrate his birthday at the pub," Brick replied. Day sat in silence." "Tll talk to Day first, then I'll call you to give you the answer. "Brick cuts the subject short because he thinks that Day must have something to talk to him about. After telling Four that, Brick hangs up "If you don't want to go, I won't go either. But Four invited you too," said Brick, but he was sure that Day would let him go because either way, Day would have to go with him. "Well, come on. I don't care... It's Gus's birthday." Day said bluntly. Brick grinned widely. "It's going to be held at the pub. I was afraid you wouldn't let me go. Brick said that since he started dating Day, he rarely went into pubs, and even the time he did, Day was with him. "I'm coming with you. Why wouldn't I let you go?" Day said back Brick smiled slightly before going and seeing another car. "What do you want to eat tonight?" Day asked Brick before leaving the office. "Can you cook?" Brick asked back. fearing that his lover was tired from work. Though Day isn't working like Brick, he is responsible for a lot of coordination, and many times, he is more tired and stressed than Brick "If you want me to, I will," Day replied, making Brick instantly smile.. "I want to eat eggs, fried shrimp with squid, breaded, and fried shrimp." Brick said what he wanted to eat. Day nodded, saying nothing. "Brick, don't walk around. Just sit and wait for the rice to cook." Said Day in a deep voice while he was cooking dinner in the kitchen. After work. he took Brick to the market to buy fresh ingredients to make dinner. As he prepared to make it. Brick would periodically pace back and forth in the kitchen, blocking Day's path. "I don't know what to do." Said Brick because he already showered and changed his clothes. "How about cooking rice? Day asked back "It's already cooked." Brick replied. turning to look at the rice cooker before having a sigh. "Huh, what did you forget?" Day asked. Brick turned to look at the rice cooker before smiling. "Haha...I forgot to press it!" Replied Brick, then hurriedly went to press the button on the rice cooker. Day breathed a sigh of relief. "Call Nell and Nick, and ask if they're coming to eat or not," Day said. Brick immediately called them. "Day, they both said that they'll come to eat too," Brick told his lover after talking with his friends. Day nodded and continued to cook "Give me the oyster sauce." Day said to his lover. Brick immediately picked it up and handed it over. Day looked at the bottle and sighed again. "Brick, did you hear what I asked? This is soy sauce. Give me the right one." Day said grimly, Brick immediately turned to look for the right bottle of sauce. "Well, the bottles are similar." Brick mumbled. He handed the bottle to Day. who continued to cook. When the cooking was finish Day asked Brick to set the table, and 300n Neil and Nick arrived. Nick had brought a roast chicken, too. "Oh, I want to eat well." Brick said, smiling. Nick provided a plate. When everything was ready, the four sat down to dinner together. "Oh, did Four call you?" Nick asked, and Brick nodded "Will you go?" Brick asked back "How can I miss this?" Nick responded. smiling. Day and Neil didn't say anything. They let Brick and Nick continue talking After eating. Nick and Brick offered to wash the dishes. [Trimm... Trimm Day's phone rang. Brick was the one to pick it up and looked to see who it was and raised an eyebrow slightly. "Day, P'Tu is calling." Brick said when he saw that Day's friend was calling Later, they don't see each other often because Fu was busy, but they talk on the phone often. Brick handed the phone to his lover. "What's up?" Day said "Let's go... Haha.. see you later." Day said a few words and hung up. Brick looked at him curiously. "Fu is coming to Gus's party also." Day explains. Brick nodded. "Well, P'Fu's wife is Gus's friend," said Brick. When they finished the dishes, they went to talk about Gus's party. After that. Neil and Nick left. "Day, tomorrow we have to finish work early. I'm going to buy a present for Gus. But I don't know what to buy." Brick said as he got ready for a shower. "Call Night and ask him what Gus would like, then go buy it." Day suggested. Brick immediately agreed. and called Night. After talking with Night for a while, he discovered that Gus likes to collect Gundam robots. "What is Gundam?" Day asked, Brick raised an eyebrow. "What, you don't know the Gundam robot? Even if I'm not a fan of them. I know. Brick said. Day stared at him. Note: The Gundam robot is similar to Transformers. Japan has a full-size one, measuring 18m in height. "So you think people like me play with robots and stuff like that?" Day asked back, making Brick laugh. "Oh, forget it, you probably only play with guns and knives, "Brick joked with his lover before going to shower and get ready for bed. "What did you get for Gus?" Nick asked Brick as he drove early the next evening to the pub where the party was scheduled. "A Gundam robot... oh. those things are expensive. But Day put half of the money," said Brick, remembering when he went to buy the robot with Day At first, Day told him to buy something more useful, but Brick convinced him that people have different preferences. Day agreed finally, but Brick had to pay half the price. They chose one that cost nearly 6000 baths. "With this money, we could buy a lot of other stuff." Day said casually. Brick and Nick were in the back, Day in the front seat with Neil, who was the driver today. "Don't complain. I said it's what he likes. You, like some people, like to buy books. Some people like to collect cars. Some people like to collect guns and stuff Brick told Day, who sight. but nodded. He understood that his lover didn't like the same things. But he thought he himself was different from the others that don't like anything in particular and don't collect anything but money. "But why did four change the pub? And we don't go to our regular place every time?" Brick asked when he remembered. "He probably doesn't want you to go back and see a ghost again." Nick teased, causing Brick's hair to immediately rise when he remembered meeting a ghost on Halloween. "Well, that's good for a change. Why did he choose this pub, by the way?" Brick asked "I know that the bar belongs to a relative. He also reserved a VIP zone and two more bottles of liquor," Nick replied with a smile because he had already asked his friend. "Well, I haven't had a drink in a while, but as a driver, you don't have to drink a lot. Otherwise, you won't be able to drive back." Brick immediately said. "I know that." Neil replied as he offered to drive back. But he also knew Day wouldn't drink too much and might be able to trade with him. Brick and Nick could guarantee they would have to drag him home for sure. After some time, the four arrived at the puh. Before arriving, Night called and asked where they were because Gear, Night, Four and Gus, and Gus's friends Wood and Q were waiting. Bit Fu and Knot haven't arrived yet. "Hey guys," Fu's voice called as Day got out of the car. Fu and Knot just arrived. too. Knot Immediately waved his hand at Day and Neil. Brick and Nick also raised their hands in honour of Fu "Did you just get here, PFu?" Nick asked because he was already familiar. "Yes, I've just got out of the car and saw Day." Fu replied. "Nick, why don't you call Day P? He's the same age as Fu," Neil asked, not very serious "Well, I'm more respectful than that. Besides, I've called you both from the beginning. It's weird to change it now." Said Nick, giving Neil a slight smile. They weren't serious about this, just asking for fun "Didn't you go on your honeymoon anywhere?" Fu asked Day with a slight smile on his lips "Honeymoon at home is fine. It's not a waste of money," Day said bluntly "This is your friend, that's who he is," Brick said with a light chuckle before inviting each other inside and went to notify the staff member at the front of the pub that a friend had booked a table inside. They were immediately greeted and ushered inside the VIP area. "Here we go," Gus said happily because everyone has already arrived. He didn't invite many people. Just his closest friends. Brick, Nick, and Knot handed him his presents, and Gus accepted smiling. "I thought you wouldn't come, P'Day," said Gus smiling because everybody
