     KongPob grabbed the extra cheesy slice of pizza, his hand shaking slightly as he raised it to his mouth and took a bite out of it. Small beads of sweat formed at the sides of his head, as the unbearable taste of cheese, ham, basil, tomato and pineapple flooded his tongue. It was only his third slice but already KongPob felt tremors of his stomach from the inside.
The rest of the members were in blissful states of chewing down as much food as possible almost sucking them in. San was thoroughly enjoying himself as he plated 2 shrimp pizza slices and downed them down with an apple cider. Trim on the other hand was constantly taking photos with the slices to upload on her social sites but also continued eating as much as possible;it was free after all. KongPob dared not look at them lest he feel more sick than he already was beginning to feel.
         “Heyy KongPob! Here, try the shrimp pizza. Its one of the best in this Pizzaria. Trust me!” San said as he piled two slices onto KongPob's plate, who couldn't decline though he's eyes had an uneasy look in them. “Why don't I take them San? I'm already full,” KongPob offered after he sipped some water to rid the taste and smell of fish on baked bread and cheese.
“Hoiii P'KongPob, you're full already?! But I've hardly seen you eat anything.” Trim commented taking another bite of her food. “Ohh, well I am just not that hungry that's all.” KongPob said to escape the prison he was in.
“OK then. I'll ask Prodd to make you two new pizzas to take them home so when you feel hungry later you can eat them. And don't worry about payment, it's on me.” San said unable to listen to KongPob's interjection. “Wait P's....” KongPob stopped in his tracks when he felt his phone ring and he had to forfeit from the conversation.

“Hello P'Arthit krap,” KongPob answered immediately a thrill of happiness filling him as he took the call. From across the table, San stared at KongPob at the mention of Arthit's name and couldn't understand why he was calling at the time.
“KongPob, I'm calling to tell you that I'll be arriving at the mall in 45 minutes so you better be done by then or else, understood.” P'Arthit said urgently into the phone as he hailed a taxi.
“Yes krap. I'll be done by then. See you.” KongPob replied, a semi-smile appearing much to San's notice. He ended the call soon after and turned to face his company.
          “Is there anything wrong?” San questioned refilling his glass.
          “Nothing krap. It was just P'Arthit calling to inform me that he is on his way to pick me up.”
         “What!!?” San suddenly broke out surprising the two who became confused at his outburst.
          “I mean- is it necessary for him to come, I can easily take you home KongPob,” he said after clearing his throat wondering how his planned night was being broken apart by strange forces.
         “There is no need for that. P'Arthit and I live together so it is more convenient besides he is already on his way.”

“Ohhhh, so you guys are roommates? That's sooo cool. I've always wanted a roommate but my parents won't allow me to move out.” Trim cut in as she began to tell KongPob about her roommate dreams unaware of San's sudden silence.
'so they live together....' San began thinking to himself as his curiosity and uneasy feeling about KongPob and Arthit came about. He didn't want to draw unnecessary conclusions but his Guts told him to be aware of the situation.
      “Ok then,” he finally spoke, “let's finish up before he comes I guess.” His tone was a bit down but he masked his emotions and enjoyed the last 25 minutes with KongPob............. And Trim.

     KongPob and Trim waited outside the pizza place as San finished up with Prodd and picked up his take away order for KongPob. KongPob rubbed his stomach slightly, already feeling the oncoming of a terrible stomachache, his Guts quivering in a silent storm that would soon break out. His eyes were a bit watery and he was gulping down small gasps of air to keep himself in control.
“P'KongPob, look at this beautiful picture I took of the piz..... P'KongPob ka, are you alright? You don't look so good,” Trim commented when she looked up from her phone to see if KongPob was watching her only to meet a lifeless man.
“Ohh, it's nothing Trim. Just need some fresh air that's all.” KongPob replied, nor wanting to inconvenience Trim and San. Trim wanted to press on when he heard a shout from the entrance.
