"Why did you drag me off?" Phuwin chuckles at the younger's action. "I'm just...shy." Fourth answered truthfully. Phuwin frowns, asking: "Shy over what?" "Gemini...He's so...I don't know his vibes and his personality is so much different from what I expected and I genuinely...I don't know," Phuwin winced silently. He unlocks his car as both males entered it. "So...You think you like him?" "Isn't that early? But I can imagine myself..." Fourth smiles shyly, buckling his seat belt and keeping that smile plastered on his face. Phuwin smiled at the younger, genuinely happy for him.

Phuwin called Dunk pretty much immediately as soon as he drops Fourth off, asking where he was so he could meet up. "Sorry bro, but I'm kinda busy right now..." Phuwin shook his head, replying back with 'it's fine' and hanging up. But he knew who he wanted to meet and see. He tapped on that person's contact and waited for them to answer.

"Guys, chill! My house can't get too messy!" Sea begged his friends who nods, laughing while playing his PS5. Gemini was about to play when he received a call from Phuwin. "Sorry guys, give me a moment," Gemini walked to a much quieter and private area (aka the kitchen) before accepting the call.

"Yeah?"

"Gemini, can we meet? I can go to where you are,"

"Oh wait! I'm hanging out with my friends though! I mean you could join us but.."

"This is regarding Fourth."

Gemini got quiet. It's only been a few days since he met Fourth, a few hours since he learnt about their relationship and now has he been exposed?

"Do you want me to meet you...? At least in a much private place..."

"I don't know...I don't know anymore..."

Gemini could tell Phuwin was holding back his tears and Gemini predicted what had happened in his head.

"Fuck it...I'll meet you at the driveway of your friend's house."

Gemini gulps, agreeing and sending Phuwin the location. He joined his friends who were having a pretty serious and competitive game of Mario Cart. "Uhm...Guys..." Gemini's hesitant voice caught their attention as they gave their fullest attention to him. "Phuwin is dropping by later...I'm gonna talk to him for awhile..." Gemini said. Pond frowns, asking, "Why? Did something happen?" "I think something did happen..."

Gemini nervously waited for Phuwin's text or call to inform him that he had arrived while his friends felt his nervousness from afar. "Do you think everything's fine?" Sea asked Meen who shrugs. "I genuinely have no idea but I'm praying for something simple." Gemini suddenly got up and left the house. His curious friends followed him behind, hiding behind the slightly opened door to eavesdrop their conversation.

Phuwin got off his car, looking at Gemini walking towards him with an uneasy smile on his face. Phuwin lets out a chuckle and walked towards him slowly. "Don't be like this, bro." Phuwin pats Gemini's shoulders softly. "So about..." "Fourth. Fourth pretty much likes you." Phuwin said immediately, cutting Gemini off. "He told me that he could imagine being with you or just enjoying time with you..." "But it could also be-" "No, it's different from being with me, Gem," Phuwin shook his head, looking back at Gemini with somewhat of a confident smile. "I know it's different...Gemini, I don't know how you feel towards him but I know we both are similar in taste and likings," Gemini chuckles as Phuwin continues. "I know you find him lovable and you just want to dote him as much as you can, showering him with love and affection. Do take care of him properly...And if anything happens...I'll just take him back," Phuwin shrugs. Gemini hugs the other before speaking up, "You have my words, Phuwin. Thank you..." Both boys grinned at each other but Gemini couldn't ignore the sadness behind that smiling face.

Phuwin drove up, tears building in his eyes as he stopped at a red light. He quickly look a tissue from the tissue box at the back of his seat to wipe them off. But each time he blinked, more tears roll down his face. Phuwin decided to take a break, stopping by a road shoulder and crying his lungs out. His first love is now just nothing but a title. He never knew how much he love(d) Fourth but it was so evident at that moment. Phuwin tried to calm down, starting his car again and driving back to his house, his comfort, where he was able to be more private and cry his emotions out. Phuwin could only think about how unlucky he was. It was his first time with love and it already was terrible. He tried smiling, thinking of how happy he was with Fourth and how he loved the younger. He still does. He still very much does.
