The most painful thing about betrayal is that it always comes from someone you trust.

Few hours ago

Boom completes his work and went to meet Phuwin and Ohm at their set.

"Ohho... See our upcoming super star is here." Ohm said sarcastically.

"Phi, Can you stop with this sarcasm." Boom replied and hugged Ohm. "I am sorry na, I as little busy with work schedule, but I really miss you. And see as soon as I am free, I am here to meet you. Don't sulk na."

"Ohk Ohk, Stop this. And tell me how's your work going. there is no other scandal happen in set." Ohm asked fondly.

"Mishae Phi, Everything is fine. There are some random comments now and there, but its normal, I ignore them. Everything else is ok." Boom replied, They both sat on table, Phuwin joined them with drink.

"Passing comments are normal. But if they start to effect you, you must tell me ok?" Ohm said smiling. Boom nodded and ohm ruffle his hair fondly.

"Phi, Do you have any plans for today?" Boom asked. Ohm looked at him questioning look.

"What do you want?" Ohm asked with raised eyebrow. 

"I am planning to tell my real identity to Aou." Boom said nervously, looking everywhere but not at Ohm.

Ohm looked at Phuwin and with in second both start laughing.

"Boom, Why are you so nervous. You and Aou already share a good bond. But you are behaving like you are going to talk to him for first time." Ohm commented.

"Phi, its different. Till now whenever we met, he see me as random guy. A guy who he knows for few days. but today he is going to meet his friend whom he know from childhood. His jelly... But I don't know Phi, If he still remember me or not, I am nervous about his reaction phi." Boom said nervously, Ohm take his hand in his hand. 

"Boom listen, No matter what. You will find your Phi and your brother by your side. and beside they way I saw him looking at you, I guess he has some sort of idea about it. Don't worry, he must be same thrilled to meet you as you are." Ohm replied.

Boom, Ohm and Phuwin are standing outside the bar, they decide not to tell anyone else and came directly. 

"Boom..." Boom heard a voice from behind. Trio turn and notice Dunk and Khao coming. 

"Hey khao, Dunk. you here." Phuwin asked confused.

"Hey Phuwin. We just here to have some fun." Khao replied. "Swadi khrab Phi." Khao and Dunk greeted Ohm.

They all went inside but stop in middle listening their names.

"Dunk, Khao, Boom, and Phuwin would care... a lot." Someone called from inside.

As the conversation continue, truth unfolds. How other's make scenario's to make them trust these boys. They all are devastated to know the meeting, bonding they thought is natural is preplanned and part of bet.

Once Menagerie and ray realize they are not alone and Boom, Phuwin, Khao and Dunk have listen everything, Panic rush through their vein. 

The hum of the bar had turned into a dull roar in Boom's ears, his heartbeat thudding loudly as he tried to process what he had just heard. Around him, the same space that had once felt lively and welcoming now felt suffocating, its shadows closing in.

Phuwin was the first to react, his fists clenching tightly as he stepped forward. "What the hell are you talking about?" he demanded, his voice cutting through the tension like a blade.

Dunk stayed their like statue looking at joong with betrayal in his eyes. The person he though is his safe space is now feel most unsafe and suffocating. 

Khao, standing just behind Boom, looked equally shocked. His voice shook as he asked, "You're saying... everything? Everything we believed the way we met, the friendships was all fake?"

"Guys... We can...." Joong start to speak but cut by ray as soon as he speak.

"Oh, come on, Khao! They were just having a bit of fun what's the big deal?" Ray said in mocking tone trying to fan flames.

"Stop it Ray... I said just stop it. Don't say a single word." Aou demanded in dangerous tone.

Phuwin let out a sharp, bitter laugh. 'Wow, Pond. I thought you were the only actor in your group, but clearly, your friends are just as good at pretending.' His smile didn't reach his eyes, the bitterness evident in his tone.

"Phuwin, I know we hurt you. but please listen to us once. After than you can be angry at us as much as you want." Pond said in desperate tone trying to reach Phuwin, but he stopped as Boom come in between and push him back.

"Don't dare to come close to him, Ai Pond. I don't care if this is your place or anything but if you dare to come close to Phu. I make sure you regret it your whole life." Boom bombarded in anger. He is fuming in anger, guilt and frustration.

"Boom calm down please, We are accepting its our fault, but please give us one chance to explain" First said hopelessly.

"Explain What First?" Dunk shouted making menagerie flinch in fear. "You put Boom's carrier in danger, You hire people to rape khao, do you ever think what type of trauma they could left on him."

"Everything you guys did is fun for you, but it can literally destroy everything for us. What if Boom never came back to clear his name. What if he is not that determined for his job, and felt defeated. You could have just lost your bet but his entire life struggle will be lost because of you." Khao shouted at them.

Aou, First, Joong and Pond felt guilty for their action and looking down, not able to look at anyone.

"You know, Joong, I came here today to share something important with you." Dunk's voice wavered, but his gaze remained firm. "But now I see, you don't deserve to hear it." Dunk said throwing something at table and left bar.

"I regret ever coming here and meeting you first." Khao said and immediately followed Dunk.

"I shouldn't have trusted you. I defended you Pond, Even if everyone warned me about you, I trusted you and you proof me that I should never trust someone easily." Phuwin said going out of bar.

"Aou, I heard lot of things about you. But I never believe them, I thought this is just a rumor and you won't be a jerk like them. But I was wrong you were biggest slum bag than them." Boom said at last throwing something at table.

"They really trusted you guys, and that's how pay them." Ohm shouted. "Let me tell you one thing, everyone of you will regret it, specially you aou. because they betrayed someone they knew for few days, they lost someone they knew for few days. But for you You lost your best friend Aou, You lost you jelly, and this time its forever." Ohm said and left the bar.
