Gemini drove towards his mansion and parked his black mercedes at his usual spot, getting out of it and taking his gifts. He spots Jimmy at a corner with a cake as he arrived at the door of his house. "Here, I'll take the gifts for you," Jimmy smiled as he passed the white decorated in flower cake to Gemini who thanked the doctor. Gemini entered the loud house with the help of Jimmy and everything then turned silent. People allowed Gemini to walk through them as they started the birthday song. At the end of the path, Gemini's mother was spotted. She looked at Gemini with love in her eyes as he approached her with the cake. He kept his smile as the song ended. She clasped her hands together as she silently made a wish and blew the lit candles. Everyone cheered as Gemini softly wished her a happy birthday. "Your gifts from me," Jimmy took over the cake as Gemini passed her his gifts the flower. With tears in her eyes, she hugged her son tightly, thanking him for the gifts and his presence. Everyone became loud again, enjoying the party to their fullest.

Gemini was by the kitchen, getting himself a drink when he felt a pat on his back. "Phuwin!" Gemini hugged the other who grinned. "Haven't seen you in so long." Phuwin said as they pulled apart. "Oh please! It's you who wouldn't want to meet up!" Gemin snorts as Phuwin shrugs. "It's my final year, gotta study," Gemini rolls his eyes and whispers 'excuses' under his breath. "By the way, that bouquet of yours look really familiar." Phuwin commented, staring at it from afar. "Oh ya, I just dropped by a neighbourhood floral store to get it down. Pretty huh," Gemini said as Phuwin nodded. "Gem! And...?" Gemini looked over to see Pond and Joong walking in. "Oh! This is my cousin, Phuwin! He's on his third year in University and a close friend of mine," Gemini introduced. "And those are my University friends, despite the age differences, Pond and Joong." Phuwin smiled and greeted them. "Hey, you're from Chula as well?" Joong asked, noticing the familiar logo on his engineering shirt. "Oh yeah I am," Phuwin chuckles. "What a huge coincidence!" Joong exclaims. Phuwin frowns, "You guys study there as well I assume if you're his friends...But under...?" "Oh I'm under Communication but he's under Biomedical Engineering!" Joong helped Pond answer. Phuwin nods with an impressed face. "That's cool but must be tough," He chuckles as he looked at Pond who shook his head. "Tell me about it. Lowkey joined it cause it sounded cool." Phuwin laughs softly, shaking his head. "That's interesting, Pond."

"You didn't tell me your cousin was so handsome and pretty!" Pond jabbed Gemini who frowns. "Why should I inform—Hold. Don't tell me..." Pond clears his throat. "I'm heading off, it's late already!" Gemini and Joong tried calling him back but Pond was long gone. They looked at each other with an impressed but shocked face. "I guess someone had just swept his feet off the ground," Joong shrugs, continuing to have fun at the party.

Fourth wakes up slightly later than he usually would for his afternoon class. He gasped in surprise when he saw the time and immediately ran off to the toilet. No one was home but he knew his mother was downstairs by the floral shop. He quickly changed his attire with a whole meal bread in his mouth and grabbed his bag from the corner of his eyes. He rushed out of his room and climbed down the stairs, waving his mom off and running to the bus stop as fast as he could.

"I'm so tired." Fourth said as he pulls himself to walk towards his seat. He had just made to school right on time and thankfully, his professor wasn't in class yet. His friends laughed at his exhaustion as they chatted away with him. Fourth sighs, looking at his phone with all messages from his other friends. He tried to answer all but his professor had just entered and he had to give his fullest attention to the middle aged man.

"Fourth, did someone enter your store last evening and asked for a pink bouquet for his mother's birthday?" Phuwin asked as soon as Fourth sat down. "One way to greet me, but yes...Wait! So it was to the same person!" Fourth exclaims. "Getting goosebumps! There were so many floral shop but he came into mine? That's so crazy!" Phuwin chuckles at the other's exaggerated reaction. Dunk and Keen looked at each other with pure confusion. "Imma buy a drink! Anyone wants anything?" Fourth asked as he got up from his seat. "I'll follow along!" Dunk said as he got up as well. "Oh that's nice of you! I want blueberry!" Keen grins. "I guess I'll just get iced water." Fourth nodded moving off alongside Dunk. "Oh that's him," Phuwin squints his eyes as he recognised the tall male entering the canteen with a group of boys right behind him, wearing the engineer blue top. "Gem!" Phuwin waves his hands in attempt to catch the other's attention which he successfully did. Gemini rushed to his friend excitedly. "I didn't know you would be eating here! That's great! I'll invite my friends," Gemini said as he took a seat on the empty table next to Phuwin and the group. Phuwin recognised Pond and Joong but he didn't know who were the other two taller males. "So! This is Pond, Joong, Meen and Sea!" Gemini introduced his friends as he studies the table of Phuwin's. "Oh this is Keen, in his first year and the other two is just getting us drinks." Phuwin smiled. Gemini nods before looking at Meen and Pond getting up and helping them get food.
