Third Person POV

AJ could not help staring when the third couple stepped into the foyer.

He could not take his eyes off the tall lanky young man whom AJ later found out was called PP Krit.

AJ took his eyes off PPKrit when he noticed the companion looking at him quizzically.

AJ finally found his voice.

"Welcome to the Sawatmaneekul Mansion," AJ said, putting his hands together and bowing slightly to the new arrivals.

The newly arrived couple bowed back to AJ.

The first guy said, "I am Billkin and this is my partner PP."

"Your room will be down that hallway, third door on the right," said AJ.

"Thank you," PP and Billkin said in unison before they headed down the hallway that AJ had instructed them to go.

Billkin opened the windows wide to air out the room. It smelled like no one had stayed in it for a very long time because the air smelled musty.

After Billkin and PP unpacked their suitcases, PP suggested that they do some exploring around the mansion and its grounds.

Both of them were amazed at the wide expanse of greenery and the abundant colors of assorted flowers that lined the walkways. They wondered how much the owner of the mansion spent for the upkeep of the grounds.

"Look, a gazebo!" PP pointed out to Billkin.

PP ran towards the gazebo and Billkin followed suit.

Billkin grabbed PP's wrist just as PP had his foot on to the first step of the short flight of stairs that led up to the gazebo.

Billkin pointed to a surveillance camera that had been set up on one column of the gazebo and at the small device that was presumably the intercom for paging visitors or making announcements by the administrator of the mansion.

"Let's go back to the mansion," Billkin suggested. "We can continue to explore later. I'm guessing they will be announcing breakfast soon."

"Okay," PP agreed as he walked alongside Billkin.

They were just in time to hear the announcement on the paging system.

"A very good morning to all the participants of the No-Kiss Challenge of Sawatmaneekul Entertainment Company. This is your administrator Mr. Kuarayikul but you can just call me Toptap. Please proceed to the breakfast hall now. I will meet up with you there for more announcements and to review with you the rules of the contest. Thank you."

When Billkin and PP arrived at the breakfast hall, it seemed that everyone else were already there.

They were met at the entrance of the breakfast hall by two ladies in  burgundy uniforms with golden pins that had their names engraved on each.

One of the ladies held out her hand to PP.

"Hi, I'm Apple," she said as PP took her hand and shook it. "Welcome to our breakfast hall."

The other lady held out her hand to Billkin.

"Hi," she said, "my name is Aye. Welcome to the breakfast hall. Your and your partner's names are on a stand on the table to indicate your sitting position."

"Thank you," said Billkin as he shook Aye's hand.

Billkin and PP easily found their spot. They were seated across a  smiling couple whose name stands indicated Mile and Apo.
