Tuk.

First kept the drinking for Mix who suddenly came to his apartment when he and Khaotung were about to talk outside the room.
Khaotung watched Mix who looked awkward, maybe Mix didn't know  Khaotung was coming, because he had told Mix that he had morning class today, Mix who was also worried about First decided to check on him.

"If I knew you were coming early, I wouldn't have come here."

Khaotung nodded his head. "I'm sorry, I must have made you worry about First."

"It's okay, I'm glad he's okay." Mix said as he turned to First, who looked equally awkward as he did not expect to see the three of them like this.

"I'm going straight back to campus, View is probably waiting for me." Khaotung then carried his bag which he had thrown on the sofa near Mix. Later, Mix also said the same thing. Her errands at the college had not been completed because he preferred to come here.

"Want to go together? I used my car here."

"Ah okay, thanks Phi."

Khaotung then turned his head to First. "If you want to talk, meet me at Jun's club later."

"Em, oke."

After that, the two left First's apartment.
It was noticeable that First breathed a sigh of relief after escaping from the awkwardness he felt alone, how could he meet Mix just after pouring out all his sorrows this morning, then also being confronted with Khaotung who said that he knew his secret.

"I feel like I'm getting closer to trouble," First muttered then went back to the room to continue sleeping, it was useless for him to go to campus.

The car was quiet, Mix who was quiet and Khaotung who was not good at finding discussions.
But Khaotung was curious about First coming to him while drunk, so he opened the conversation by asking about it.

"Maybe he had a bad day?" Mix said with another question.

"I don't know, he always looks fine."

Mix nodded his head, at first glance First did look like a fine person. "But, if you take a deeper look at him, you can find that he's full of sadness, his life is very cloudy."

Mix sounded more knowledgeable about First than him, even Khaotung felt that Jun was no match for Mix when it came to First.
Khaotung thought the relationship between the two (First and Mix) was just a casual friends, but on second thought it seems not.
Mix who was gay was friends with Jun and First who was also gay, so Khaotung concluded that First had been gay from the start.
But what does that have to do with Mix? What made First and Mix have time to make small talk not too long ago when the two had met so often since First and Khaotung arrived as freshmen.

"Ah, Phi. I haven't seen you go to Jun's club in a long time. Is there something you're working on that you don't have time to hang out?"

"No, Earth had a lot of time off these past few weeks so I spent time with him. I repeatedly wanted to take him to the club, but he said he didn't want to leave the apartment. But I'll be there tonight, are you working?"

That means View lied, Khaotung also actually questioned where View knew that First was gay, could it be from Mix's accidental conversation? Considering that View said First went here and there to confirm his identity, Khaotung then concluded that Mix and View's relationship was strained because of that.

"Phi, can we find a place to talk?"

Mix turned his head to Khaotung with a surprised look. "Can't we just stay in the car?"
