New clenched his fist, his ears and cheeks feels hot suddenly, he became speechless for a moment.

Tay Tawan is not only well-known for being a great actor, a sought after model, and professional photographer but also known as a heart breaker. Almost every person he was paired with, male or female, has been linked with him. Confessing or hinting in the interviews that they like Tay more than just an on cam partner but the latter doesn't seem interested so the issues just died down.

Even so, he can not back down now. He must show this egotistical man that New Thitipoom isn't someone he can mess with!

"You are really so full of yourself, huh?", New uttered after a stare off, speaking through his gritting teeth.

Tay chuckled sarcastically, "Why? Not so confident anymore?", he retorted, provoking the bulky young man even more.

"Or do you actually have a crush on me?", he continued, raising his brow, smirking playfully.

"Alright. You're on! And if you fall for me, be sure to get lost and get out of my life!", New uttered, seeing eye to eye with Tay as he accepted the challenge, making sure that Tay understands how adamant he is for disliking him.

Tay was about to respond but the door suddenly opened. It was P'Godji.

"Oooo.. What do we have here? You two about to smooch each other? Did I interrupt something good? Go on. Don't mind me. Continue.", the lady boss teased them. She crosses her arms over her chest, watching the two, smiling widely.

New stepped back, turned away, and continued unbuttoning his long sleeved polo shirt to get changed. Tay shook his head and did the same.

"Aww.. No more smooches?", P'Godji continued teasing, acting disappointed.

"Why are you here, P?", Tay asked the VP of their company.

"Oh, right!", she said, trying to remember what she was there for.

"I just want to remind y'all that your workshop will start 2 days from now. So pack your things up and start preparing", she explained excitedly.

"Pack up?", New asked not sure if he understands what their boss is talking about.

"Yes. Pack up.", P'Godji responded.

"Why? Isn't it supposed to be done in a studio?", Tay asked, he seemed confused as well.

"Ah, no. You six will live in one house for 1 month. This way, you will get used to each other. Let's eliminate that awkward aura around you guys", P'Godji explained.

Tay and New looked at each other, a bit shocked but avoided each other's gaze instantly.

"See?", P'Godji butted in as she saw how the two reacted.

"There's that super awkward vibe.", shaking her head.

"OK, I'll leave you two alone now cause I have to inform the rest too. See yah around, boys." she then turns to leave, humming a happy song on her way out.

At Off and Gun's dressing room.

Gun is changing into a more laid back outfit as he still has another event to attend to with Singto. Off was just there watching Gun's every move. Trying to get a chance to approach the little guy. In his mind were a lot of questions. But the main question lingering in his mind is why Gun is so cold towards him?

The tall guy let out a sigh, shrugging. If Gun wouldn't allow him to get close, so be it.

He wanted to befriend his partner since that day they got into an accident. He's really curious why Gun seemed sad and lonely. But there seems to be an invisible wall around the young man which is hard to break. He wanted to know more about this famous little guy but it seems impossible. He seldom sees Gun smiling behind the camera. Is he just really a serious person? But why did he break down on that day? Though small as he seems, Gun has a really dominant aura. He acts cute and fragile in front of the camera but in Off's observation, his new partner is really tough and scary.

"I give up.",he whispered to himself, shaking his head.

Gun glances at him.

"Oof! There goes that scary look again!", he thought

"Oof! There goes that scary look again!", he thought. He averted Gun's gaze right away and pretended he is busy on his phone. Gun then stood up and got ready to leave.

"P'Off, I'll be heading out first.", he then said as he walks towards the door.

"Hmm.. ", Off just nodded, pretending to act cold towards the small guy. His phone rang at the exact moment Gun was looking at him.

"Yes, baby. We're done here. I'll pick you up later.", Off said while talking on the phone.

As Gun went out, he glanced at Off once more. He just shook his head and sighed as he finally went on.
