"You really like that band huh?"

Fi didn't reply, too caught up in watching the video. It was of Elevation's last gig in California. They were just finishing up Europe right now and should be home soon. 

"Fi?" She reached out and touched his shoulder. He looked over with a start then paused the video so he wouldn't miss anything.

"Pardon. You were speaking to me?"

She laughed softly before giving him a sweet smile. Fi was immediately on guard. This was the first time Sita approached him alone and he didn't like it. She was a woman and he had really bad experiences with her kind.

"Yes. You are always watching things about Elevation. I like them but you seem to really stan them. I didn't think you would be such a hard core fan."

"I like them a lot, yes, and their lyrics really speak to me." Fi saw the time and put down his phone, hook out the headphones.

"Phun also watches them a lot." She commented. She was trying to seem casual but it wasn't working.

"Well yes. We do have similar musical taste." Fi replied as he packed away his containers.

"And you know each other well too." She added. He paused and looked at her with a squint.

"Ok what do you want to know. Just say it."

Instead of being offended she immediately asked, "Why doesn't he like me?"

"Phun already has someone that he loves. He's not interested in you because he has her. Not all men cheat and I'm really disappointed that you think you can have him just because you like him." Fi stood and walked away. His break was close to being over anyway. He had really been enjoying that performance too.

Currently Fi was working with their boss directly on some sensitive translations. He didn't get to see Phun regularly since he was also on another project. Some documents had arrived from France. The print was fine and the pages were many but apparently it was important. Sita was also in that group. Her command of french was exquisite, Fi would give her that. She must have really bothered Phun and he told her off. Otherwise why would she come and question him? Unless...

Fi restrained the urge to call or text Phun and let the day pass. When he did get home, he showered and changed then walked through the basements and into Phun's place.

Oh. You must be confused. Authornim will explain the setup. Phun and the band own 5 town houses in a row. They are all connected by the basements. The one in the middle also has a recording studio, smaller and separate from the one they have in the city, and Ex and Flex decided they will live in the 2 rooms available over it. Dye took his own apartment because his family is always visiting to see if they can control his life. Phun and Noh live in one. Ohm and Mick will be in another and Fi is staying in the last one because sometimes their friends come by and when they hear they will be staying with Fi, they usually behave. 

Though Fi offered to pay rent, he was forcefully refused. Noh told him directly that he didn't feel comfortable leaving Phun to deal with everything by himself so he was also needed.

"Hey. I just finished dinner. Want some?" Phun offered as soon as he entered. He was just about to text Fi. What luck.

"Thanks. I was planning to come talk to you before I find something to eat but you already worked on that for me." Fi teased with a grin. He looked into the pot and saw Pad Kee Mao or Drunken noodles. It was a regular dish but Phun had put his own spun on it and Fi loved it. 

"Whats up?" Phun handed Fi a plate and let him go ham. Fi actually didn't eat that much unless it was something he really liked and he liked Phun's version of the dish.
