He didn’t find it right. He couldn’t find it right. He wasn’t the only one to not win this game but it didn’t change that he was part of the one who couldn’t choose the right shrub. 

The activity ended on the second team going one after one to claim one shrub. No one between them could know which had already been claimed and not and it resulted in Ten not taking the apple. He chose one which was shaped in a flower and in a leaf. He couldn’t think again of the first time they talked together. It pleased Porchay, it was sad or he might be bad for thinking this but it was one more proof that they had nothing left for each other.

They weren’t the only ones to fail but they all had a logic behind their mistake. They all had a memory or something explaining why they couldn’t choose the good one. Ten just stared at Porchay, angry, he observed him, his mouth twisted and he smiled brightly at the camera : “I guess that we aren’t on the same board.”  

It didn’t sound bad but with his expression it still added the sensation that in the end Porchay was at fault, he was the one to not have succeeded in this game. The boy said nothing, he kept his silence, but he wondered if Ten would like to attack his image, if he had changed his goal and instead of being the cutest boyfriend, he wanted to be the abandoned one, welcomed by a warm embrace by the public.

Porsche and Yok could already see that despite Ten not being known, some groups had been created : the ones with Porchay, the ones with Ten, and the neutral ones. The first groups were fighting and the last one was trying to be objective. It didn’t look like it would end well.
Kim saw it too, but before he could send anything to Tankhun, his brother called him.

“Kim, don’t tell me that you did that dessert for dinner just because you wanted to show that you could give more than a simple apple to Chay?” He asked dramatically but Kim knew his smiling voice by heart, he was delighted.

“So you recognise that you took him in the show to make me meet him again?”

“It would be stupid to lie now…yes…what do you think?”

“That it was a pretty bad idea…”

“Come on! Kimmy! I see how you look at him…”

“And the whole world can see too! He is officially with someone, Phi!”

“Someone who isn’t good for him, everyone would agree.”

“They would, but before they would condemn him for his actions…It’s already beginning.”

“What?” Tankhun sighed, not liking that he felt logic in Kim’s words.*

“People online taking a side…I don’t want the whole watchers to hate him…”

“Whatever you will do, you can’t be loved by everyone.”

“Phi! You pushed him here, knowing exactly what you were doing! You’re at fault…so I don’t care, find a freaking way to protect him or I am going to mess with your game before the end of the week.” He cut the conversation and opened the cameras again.

As he thought, Ten was still having his sulking face while Porchay was talking with Cloe and Lia. He was playing the sad boyfriend being ignored when he had been the one some minutes ago to reject Porchay who had tried to talk with him. This show turned on everything he hated, gossip, complicated relationships and dramatic situations.

“I can’t believe how pretty your creations were!” Flo interrupted them by sitting next to Porchay and separating him from Ten.

“Please, don’t lie.” Lia laughed.

“I wondered…” Cloe asked in a small voice. “What would Helias or you do…for the shape?”

Porchay was soothed rapidly by the sounds she just made. He didn’t know why but that human had the energy of a cloud, soft and comfortable to be around. If Lia was full of energy, she was calmer.
