Tee reaches the hospital in the morning and wants to find Copter and talk to him but he finds that Cop is extremely busy so he also gets busy with his work.

At lunchtime, Tee straight away goes to Copter's room. He stands in front of Cop and opens his mouth to ask him about the mystery behind what Tae told him yesterday, as he is the most curious about that. Also he should first apologise for lying to Cop in order to take a sick leave. But then he realises that he would also have to answer embarrassing questions about him and Tae!

So Tee just stands in front of Cop and opens and closes his mouth with a thoughtful expression on his face.

Cop looks at Tee with an annoyed expression and says, "Close your mouth, you look silly!"

Tee smiles as he decides that he should not keep any secrets from his best friend so he says, "Sorry na, Cop! I did not want to lie to you. I will treat you to dinner tonight. What say?"

Cop says, "You owe me more than a dinner for the way you tricked me to take a leave. I was so worried for you the whole day, do you know?!"

Tee puts his arm around Copter's shoulder and says, "Okay, what else do you want? Only dinner is not enough... (Tee thinks for a second and teasingly says) Should I bring roses to make you smile?"

Cop scoffs and teases him back, "No, no... please.. don't bring roses or anything like that. Your boyfriend might not like it. You will bring me more trouble!"

Tee is now beyond curious!

Tee asks Cop, "What did Tae tell you that you are speaking like that!"

Cop pouts and says, "So your boyfriend didn't tell you what we talked, eh? Hmm... then maybe I too shouldn't tell you. Anyway, you have troubled me a great deal. Lying to me, making me work on your behalf, moaning and teasing with your boyfriend while calling me... you trying to make me jealous!?"

Cop gets angry thinking about those things again.

Tee feels wronged. On one side his best friend is not willing to satisfy his curiosity and getting angry with him without a fault of his own!

Tae is the main culprit behind all this! He asked me to take a leave after that night and then kept kissing and fondling me when I was talking to Cop. Even making Cop afraid of him for some reason. When I ask Tae to tell me then he keeps kissing and teasing me and then I forget what I was asking him in the first place!

What the hell did Tae tell Cop!

Tee asks Cop, "Did Tae threaten you when you came to his place? You should have told me..."

Cop starts laughing and says, "No, no, nothing like that. He didn't threaten me."

Then Cop looks at Tee intently and asks, "Do you know anything about Tae? I don't think you thought this through when you slept with him."

Tee blushes at the mention of his passionate night with Tae.

Tee says, "All happened so fast that I had no time to get to know him better."

Copter teases his friend even more, "Yeah, I saw how you were enjoying yourself with him. For God's sake, please close the window from now on!"

Tee punches Cop's shoulder and then changes the subject, "Where is Godt? Is he not done with his work yet?"

After a while, Godt comes and the three friends have lunch together at the cafetaria. They also decide to meet up in the evening to have dinner and drinks at their usual pub.

Tee suddenly remembers that Tae wanted to have dinner together. But he decides that he would tell Tae to postpone the dinner plan as he wants to have dinner with his best friends tonight. So he gets up from their lunch table to make a call to Tae.

Godt asks Cop, "What's up with Tee these days? He suddenly took a sick leave yesterday and today he wants to go for drinks with us. He needs to take better care of himself."

Cop smirks and says, "His boyfriend is taking good care of him."

Godt is surprised to hear this so he asks Cop, "When did this happen? Who is Tee dating?"

Cop tells Godt all about what happened from start to finish. Godt is shocked to say the least.

God asks, "So you are saying that Tee still does not know anything about Tae? Hmm... what do you think? Should we tell him or let him find it out by himself?"

Cop says, "Tee's very curious to know so I definitely don't want to tell him now."

Godt shakes his head so Cop says, "Okay, okay, I will tell him tomorrow. Don't worry. Nothing bad will happen."

On the other side, Tee calls Tae to inform him of his evening plans with his friends. Tae sulks a bit, "I said no to my childhood friend who wanted to meet with me because of our dinner plan tonight..."

Tee says, "Okay, okay, after I return home, I will come to your place. Then we can spend the whole weekend together. What say?"

Tae finally smiles and they end their conversation.

In the evening, the three friends enter their favourite pub. This pub is jointly owned by two friends, Kim and Bas. Since the first time they visited that pub, Godt and Cop have been hooked to the two owners. But they figured that the way the two owners flirt with their female customers, it does not seem that they would even glance at their handsome male admirers (Godt and Cop). So Godt and Cop do not take any initiative to further their chances with their respective crushes in case they get rejected by them.

What if they even ban them from coming to the pub if they feel too disgusted to know that two guys have romantic feelings for them!

Tee knows the unrequited love that his two friends have for the owners so he always tries his best to crack jokes and be jovial in front of them whenever they are at the pub.

Moreover Tee wants to relax with his two best friends after a very long time and he plans to enjoy it to the fullest as he orders more bottles of beer for everyone. Just then, Tee notices a familiar silhouette of a guy a few tables away from him.

Tee gets a terrible shock when he sees an attractive girl standing very close to Tae.
