I apologize that I'm not good with such scenes. Beware...

~ ~ ~ ~ ~

Tay felt guilty kissing New knowing the guy already have Earth which is now seated beside him. And New seated beside Podd. He just notices that Earth is too focused on Podd in the front opposite of him than focus on New who is his boyfriend. He looked at New and he just shrugged his shoulder as if it's nothing.

Tay is very much confused about what's going on. How can New allow his boyfriend to flirt in front of him? He said it right. And New who is in front of him seems to be enjoying his meal. How hungry is the guy to not even notice his boyfriend cheating? In front of him.

"P'Tay? Is there something wrong?" New ask and he looked up to him.

"Is this how you usually eat?" Curiosity hits him.

"Pretty much. Sometimes it's me with P'Earth or me with P'Podd. Mostly, it's just the two of them." New coolly said as if it's nothing.

"And you're okay with it?" He whispered to let the other person in the table hear it. New just nod and continue eating. Tay shakes his head in disbelief.

He promised to himself to not let New get hurt again. He leaned to Earth and whispers.

"Can I talk to you. Alone." Before the guy can reply he stood up and went to the very secluded place of the restaurant. He saw as he followed him and excuse himself to the rest.

Tay stood tall with his hands on his hips while waiting for Earth. They're of the same age that makes it easier to approach the guy.

"What's up?" Earth asked as the guy is standing beside him.

"What was that?" He questioned Earth.

"What was what?" Earth seems confused on what's he's talking about.

"You're obviously flirting and of all places, in front of New." Frustrated as he can get but controlled himself waiting for the guy to explain his side.

"Oh, that." Finally realizing what he meant. "That's nothing. It's normal."

Tay's eyed Earth with disbelief. How can this guy be so casual about it?

"You see, it's normal to woo someone you like, right? That's what I'm doing." Earth explain which makes Tay's blood boils. He's almost at the peak of punching Earth in the face and doesn't care is New will get to see it. Because the guy doesn't deserve New at all.

"Are you saying you're courting Podd in front of New?" Tay asked controlling his anger.

"Yes." Confirming his speculation.

In a second, Tay's left hand is on Earth's collar and the right goes straight to his face taking a big blow from Tay. Making Earth fall seated on the floor. He's about to make another punch when someone grabs his arm. It was New. Behind him is Podd who went directly to Earth and examine the guy.

"Really, New? You're taking side?" Tay asks in frustration and pointing at Earth who's getting up by the help of Podd.

"I think we need to talk, P'Tay. Again." New said as he grabbed his hand and lead him to wherever New will lead him.

They entered the hotel. The staffs greeted them but New is walking directly to the elevator as if he didn't see anyone around. They stopped at the top floor and enter the two-door room owned by New. He looked around and nothing changed. That's the only time New let go of his hand and closed the door behind him.

"Why did you do that?" New asked him with an angry face and both hands on his hips ready to interrogate him.

He took a deep breath before saying anything.
