09

Fourth woke up late yet again. He groans and looked at his phone by the night table, 9:36 was screaming from his screen as he got up to wash up. His class would start at two so he wasn't really concerned about being too late. "Fourth! Your friends are here!" He heard his father informing him from the first level. He shouts back an 'ok' before rushing down to check who it was. "Phuwin!" Fourth gasped before jumping into his arms. "Are you ok?" He asked out of concern, wondering why it took so long for the other to meet him. "Yeah, I suddenly fell real ill yesterday. Sorry I didn't update you, was in pain," Phuwin came up with a lie. "It's ok, as long as you're ok right now!" Fourth assured the older as they walked to the dining table and away from the shop itself to prevent scaring customers away. "I'll prepare something to eat," "Wanna go out to eat? We can meet the rest," Phuwin suggest. Fourth nodded as Phuwin took a seat on one of the chairs. "I'll get back to you after I change!" Fourth said, rushing to his room to change into his school uniform. Phuwin nods, updating Dunk about the plan.

They drove to a mall near the school where they spotted a large group of people. "Wait, why is friends of Gem joining us?" "That's what I'm curious about..." Phuwin answers as they walked closer to the group. "You're here!" Ping exclaims when he spots the two students slowly walking towards them. "Keen is making an announcement but I'm pretty sure it's obvious just from the look of it," Dunk states, smirking with his arms crossed. Fourth looked at the younger who grinned awkwardly, confused by what Dunk meant. "Eh! Don't tease me," Keen whined as he pushed Dunk lightly who shrugs, resting his arms around Phuwin. "Glad to see you fine," Dunk whispers into his ears. Phuwin chuckles, "I mean, it's me. I'm chill chill," Dunk rolls his eyes as they walked towards a restaurant that could accept such a big group of boys. Fourth followed them with confusion but also didn't want to miss out of the tea they were spilling with each other. "When are you gonna tell them?" Ping asked Keen who shrugs. "Dunk seemed to already know," "Oh please! You guys were so obvious," Ping rolls his eyes playful and looked at Keen with his iconic judgmental look. Keen slaps Ping lightly on his neck. "How so!" Ping then shrugs, catching up to Fourth. "Were we that obvious?" Keen looked to Sea with bright sparkling eyes. Sea was quite weak to this and gulps, shaking his head. "I'm not sure, babes..."

They sat down inside an Italian restaurant. Fourth rushed to sit next to Phuwin, looking at him with his doe eyes. Gemini sat across Fourth silently to admire the other which didn't go unnoticed by Phuwin who smiled. Gemini mouths 'I'll take care of him' towards Phuwin who nodded. He didn't want to act all so protective of Fourth since the other would never be his anymore and would stay as his precious friend for the rest of his life. A glass cup of iced water was placed in front of Phuwin. The male checked who was the one who passed it to him and realised it was just Pond. He smiles respectfully and thanked him, taking small sips from it. Dunk squints his eyes as he studies Pond, finding it suspicious when he passed the cup of water to Phuwin first before anyone. Pond clears his throat when he noticed Dunk looking at him suspiciously. "Let's order!" Joong cheers, calling the waiter before anyone could disagree.

"That was satisfying!" Keen stretches and looked at everyone who slowly walked out of the restaurant, leaving Dunk who was settling the bill. "So, what is it you wish to tell us?" Meen asked Keen who smirked. Sea walked towards him and stood next to him. Both male interlocked their fingers and raised it up to show the whole group. Fourth gasped loudly while others either smirked or rolled their eyes. "Wait! I can't be the only one who didn't know!" Fourth said, studying everybody's expression. "Poor, Fotfot. You're the only one who doesn't know," Ping chuckles, ruffling his black locks. "Huh...?" Fourth looked back at Dunk who was holding a long receipt. "Dunk..." "I knew it," He cuts Fourth off. Fourth glares at Keen who jumps and hid behind his boyfriend. "Fotfot, you gotta be observant, aren't you a lawyer?" Dunk teased the younger by pinching his chubby cheeks. "No!" Fourth pushes Dunk's hands away and walked towards Gemini. "You guys always tease me unlike him!" Gemini was taken aback, a happy elated smile rose to his face as he stood in front of Fourth proudly. Meen slapped his back before sighing. Phuwin and Dunk rolls their eyes and looked at each other. "Fot, this is why we tease you, cause you're so cute!" Ping squeals. "Says the one! 190cm tall but such a cutie," Fourth gave his backhanded compliment to Ping who frowns, trying to take in his comment. Ping gives up and grunted, walking off while lowkey sulking. "Why is he sulking?" Dunk chuckles as his cousin in which Phuwin shrug. "Oh please, it runs in the blood. Sulky people," Phuwin rolls his eyes, walking off in the same direction of Ping. Fourth looked at Gemini before pulling his arms. "I want you to drive me to school, they'll continue teasing me," Fourth instructed Gemini who was smiling gleefully. "Yes yes..."

Pond, Joong, Meen, Keen and Sea looked at each other. "They're so confusing," Sea sighs with a small smile. "But that makes them cute," Joong grins, walking calmly towards the big group. "What he said," Pond winks and followed his best friend. Sea and Keen looked at Meen who shrugs. "I'm just curious over Dunk's alleged cousin," Keen's jaw drops while getting pulled away by Sea, following along Meen.
