Forth's POV

I woke up groggily, my head throbbing like an army of elephants is stomping inside my brain. I slowly sat up from my place and winced at the pain that radiated on my face and all over my body. I looked around me with my blurry eyes and realized why I am in pain. I have slept on the fucking floor! With no pillows and blankets, unlike the rest of my company. This is so not fair!

I saw Ming cuddling Beam on the couch. The sight was a surprise but oddly enough, I didn't feel more than that. Hmm...strange.

Pha was lying on the floor a few spaces from me. He has a fluffy pillow under his head and a warm blanket over him. (Damn it! that lucky bastard!) The blanket was taking a big space on the floor beside him and I wondered why it was. I know Pha is a big guy, but he is not that big.

The answer showed itself when I saw the bulk squirm and Kit's head popped out, resting it on Pha's arm. Pha moved as well to cuddle Kit and I couldn't help myself from taking a lot of pictures for some blackmail material. (My cheeks actually hurt from grinning, I wonder why? Have I slept on one side alone and my cheek was pressed on the floor all night, that's why it hurts?)

When I was satisfied, the pain on my head reminded me that I badly needed to take some painkillers. My bladder wasn't helping as well as I instantly felt the need to relieve myself. I quickly got up, ignoring the throbbing pain, and went to the bathroom to relieve myself. Afterwards, I washed my hands on the sink and it was then that I noticed my eye. What happened to my eye?! My handsome face! What happened to you?! Where my gorgeous right eye should be, a blackeye has formed. My cheeks is also sporting the same bruise and I wonder what have happened last night. Why do I look like I've been beaten up?!

When I was done, I looked for the painkillers, which was quite frustrating since I'm not in my own house and I don't know where Ming keeps his medicines. I searched around while still wondering what had happened and why I couldn't remember it. Was I too drunk? But I'm not the kind to forget events just because I was drunk. Questions filled my mind as I searched.

I finally found them on one of the drawers near the kitchen and I immediately took one. I brought the whole box to the living room and placed it on the table so that the others could easily get one when they wake up. As I looked around the mess that we made, I noticed that we are missing another person. Nong Yo.

I looked around and didn't see the chubby kid. Where is he? Did he go home? But Beam is here. I checked the rooms and I found one of them empty. When I turned the knob of the other room, it didn't budge. It was locked. Hmm...so the clever kid hogged the bed to himself while he left us all to sleep on the floor. How cruel!

I shook my head and let the matter go. I decided to make some breakfast for all of us. Today's a weekend so we could all sleep in. I could have resumed sleeping but I'm feeling too hungry so I just decided to follow that plan. I raided Ming's fridge to get all the ingredients that I need for breakfast.

Kit was the first one to wake up, screaming at the top of his voice. It woke up the others, wincing and groaning at the noise. I could hear the string of profanities directed at my cousin. I wanted to laugh aloud but I don't think having a hissing and cussing Kit at you would be so fun.

Pha was covering his ears with the pillow while Ming and Beam were covering theirs with their hands. They were groaning out loud, begging Kit to stop. Thankfully, Kit did but without kicking Pha before marching to his room.

I watched him as he approached one of the rooms. The one that is locked. When he had turned the knob and found it locked, he angrily pounded at the door.

"Ai shitty Yo! Open up!" he screamed as he banged his fist on the wooden door.

We heard a string of profanities from the inside and Kit retorted with his own. The four adults, that were us were all wincing and groaning at the sound. When Yo finally opened the door, we all gave a sigh of relief. Kit entered his room and shut door close with a blast.
