"He was the one who arrived late but when I complained about it, he got angry!" Tay exploded the moment he entered the dressing room where Off and Gun were resting after a fan meeting.
"I guess the honeymoon phase is over" Off whispered to Gun who was trying to look as sympathizing to Tay's plight as he could muster when in reality, he was already devising a plan to get away from an oncoming petty squabble between two of his friends.
Not a minute has passed when the door, which Tay accidentally left ajar, was closed loudly by New who nonchalantly walked inside and sat at a chair opposite to the three and proceeded to glare spitefully at Tay.
"Do you think it's time for us to leave Papii?" Gun addressed the man beside him who was already shamelessly poised to witness his friends' upcoming fight.
"A good friend never leaves his friends as they commit something stupid" Off looked pointedly at Gun "Therefore, we are staying" he finished mischievously as he felt Tay cower closer to him.
After several minutes of trying to endure the intense glare from New, Tay finally succumbed and peeped, "I did not deliberately put my phone on silent...well, actually I did but it was because I went to the cinema with Nanon and Toptap last night and it was already pretty late when I arrived home so I fell asleep immediately and forgot about it"
"And, without checking your phone for any possible messages from me, you yelled and made a scene about my tardiness. You did not even bother to ask for my reason or if I was feeling alright" New had been nodding along to Tay's explanation that the older one thought that his anger has simmered down.
Earlier, Tay planned to play the "aggrieved card" to attract sympathy from his friends but got instantly terrified as soon as New arrived menacingly and stared him down.
Off began openly laughing at his friends while Gun was trying to make himself invisible. New signaled Tay to come closer to him with a pointed glare but the other was too intimidated and so withdrew closer to Off who pushed him mercilessly to land almost at New's feet.
Tay got up immediately like nothing happened and went on a long tirade about the terrible traffic that caused people to be late and the stupid people who should check their phones more often especially if there might be messages from the love of their lives. Off looked at New's reaction and found him beaming triumphantly during the entire time because he can be petty like that.
Meanwhile, the onlookers watched the scene with mirth. They were starting to get used to the increased intensity in which the "TayNew" pair interacted. They were aware that something has changed between the two since a few weeks ago but instead of teasing them about it like they have always done, everyone seemed to come to an agreement to simply let them be and partake instead in their happiness.
Toptap was starting to tear up as he stared at his untouched food. Alice patted his back "Don't be dramatic. They have not even confirmed anything yet" Alice said as she waved her phone to him.
The gang was having their dinner at their favorite restaurant when they noticed that the "TayNew" hashtag was trending on twitter. Apparently, several fans witnessed the pair on a "date" and being one of Twitter's favorite couples, the news exploded immediately.
"I asked, teased, and harassed P'Tay about the current status of his relationship with P'New several times after they came back from Hat Yai but he would just give me weird smiles. But, if that was not enough confirmation, then I'm quitting this fandom" Nanon interjected.
"True. I don't need to hear them say it loudly for me to know that they're finally together" said Toptap as he exaggeratedly wiped a tear. "I feel so relieved"
Alice and Nanon could not help but agree as they have all been first-hand witnesses to the development of Tay and New's cute but stressful relationship over the years.
Ssing, who has been somberly eating his food, looked up at the others, "I don't think the company is happy about this progress"
"What do you mean?" The three asked in surprise. They have always thought that GMMTV was bent on pushing the "TayNew" pairing to the public.
Ssing shrugged in frustration and replied, "As it turned out, they can only support an imagined pairing because a real one is bad for the business"
Everyone fell silent.
