Sky looked around Pai's condo. It was big enough for him and Rain even with all the materials and tools they were given that they would need while studying Architecture.

"Here, this is the key. You and Rain would have one each and I'll hold on to the last copy." Pai gave Sky the said keys, being careful not to touch the other man.

"T-Thank you K-Khun– I-I mean P'Pai." Sky bowed his head not really knowing if he should look the older man in the eye.

Pai smiled when he heard Sky correct himself and call him Phi instead of Khun.

"It's okay Nong, do you want to get something to eat? N'Rain's still with Venice right now." Pai asked his voice back to being gentle and warm.

After his 'punishment' on Gun, Pai felt like a heavy weight was lifted from his chest. It should have made him feel bad that he had just in fact tortured and killed a man mercilessly, but no. It had felt good, too good for his liking.

"U-Uhm but..."

"No worries Nong, I'll take you somewhere you'd love." He just knew where to take Sky. After all, this world's Sky seems to have the very same preference when it comes to food.

They went out and Pai took Sky to their 'go to' restaurant that is close to the younger's university.

When they got there, Pai proceeded to order not even waiting for Sky to tell him anything, the latter looked like he didn't really know what to do so he just went on and ordered so Sky wouldn't have to deal with talking to a stranger. When their food arrived he saw how Sky's eye grew a bit big and tried to hide his excitement. How can you blame him? All the food in front of them were his favorites.

"Do you like the food Sky?" Pai asked even though he already knew the answer.

"Yes P'Pai... They all look delicious." This time Sky looked at him but not straight in the eye. He smiled a bit more, which made Pai use all his self control not to hug his love.

"Eat up!" He just replied giving him his most loving smile. Sky's cheeks were tinted red when he averted his gaze once more.

When they got back to the condo, Rain and Venice were already there and the atmosphere was something Pai never thought would exist between Rain and Phayu but here they are.

"What's going on here?" Pai asked knowing that they won't really be talking by themselves if he left them be.

"It's P'Venice's fault! Rain just wanted to go find Sky! And he won't let me go look for him!" Pai had to stop himself with face palming. He knew how Phayu was a bit controlling when it comes to Rain since the younger gets distracted pretty easily. But here, with Venice and his mafia background added to that controlling nature?

"And I have repeatedly told you that he's safe and was only eating out with Prapai." Venice looked at him as if fed up with repeating himself.

"Ai'Rain, d-don't yell at P'Venice. It's my fault for not informing you." Sky held Rain's hand to try and calm his best friend.

'Oh right! How could we forget such an important thing! They'd need their own phones!'

"Then how about we do this Nong, we will go to the mall right now and we'll be buying you both your phones? After that we'll have Uncle Arm put your numbers and devices into his system?" Pai gave Rain a smile as he patted him on the head.

"You don't need to buy us more things Phi." Rain said, eyes still on Venice.

"No, Pai is right, you both need phones." Venice said while getting his jacket from where he had tossed it earlier.
