Gemini insisted on taking his brother and friends to the airport.  Pond and Phuwin kept casting affectionate glances at each other, until the youngest Tangsakyuen finally had enough of it and stepped between the lovers, separating them and throwing his arms around both of their necks.  Phuwin grimaced and Pond laughed.  Joong was the only one of them who was very serious and kind of sad, but Gem didn't want to dwell on that right now.  He only exchanged knowing glances with Fourth who accompanied them.  The boy raised one eyebrow.  Gemini shook his head as if to say, "Later!"

“Remember to take plenty of photos for me with Alex and First”.  Gemini instructed them.

“Hmm, don't worry little fanboy, we won't forget, we know that Alex and First are your great loves”. Phuwin joked and got kicked for it.

“You better shut up, otherwise you'll end up going to the hospital instead of flying to Singapore”.  Gemini said it in an artificially sweet tone with the face of a charming innocent.  Fourth was tempted to record it and share it on Instagram, which he did.  P'Erin had asked them both more than once to post as much videos and posts about each other as possible, and this was a good opportunity.  Gem was so used to being constantly recorded that he didn't even notice, and at that moment he was trying to hide behind his friends Joong and Pond to avoid Phuwin, who was clearly chasing him with the intention of grabbing him and tickling him.  Gem knew his brother's favorite pastime perfectly well: picking on him, teasing him and tickling him was very high on that list, and even though he was running away from it, deep down he actually liked these moments, it made him feel carefree and light,  it was like he was five years old again and had no worries.

Fourth couldn't stop smiling as he looked at them and recorded them.  He added the description on his InstaStories: "Isn't this little guy cute?" When he put the phone in his pocket, Gemini ran forward and ran straight into the surprised Dr. Khaotung, who had only just appeared at the airport.

“Gem, watch out!” Fourth shouted, but it was too late.  Gem crashed into the smaller and shorter doctor, knocking them both to the floor.  “Damn it!”

Fourth cursed under his breath, grimacing.

“Serves you right!  You've got what you deserve, little brother!” Phuwin laughed loudly.  Even Joong smiled, although his smile was faint and subdued.

“I-I'm sorry,” Gemini stammered, stood up and offered his hand to the doctor to help him up.  Fourth came closer and whispered in his ear:

“You, Gem, or maybe you don't want to match Dunk with the doctor at all?  Maybe you want to match yourself with him?”

This question, and the fact that Gem was still involuntarily clutching the doctor's hand, made the young Tangsakyuen immediately back away and give Fourth an extremely unpleasant look.  Gem looked down at his new friend and work partner as if he had said the stupidest thing in the world, and then laughed merrily, completely unfazed by what had happened or what Nattawat had said.  He wasn't interested in Khaotung in that way and felt very comfortable around him.
