"That was fucking brilliant! Krist, you're a genius! Did you see how the listeners responded? It was amazing guys." Tay is so excited that he's practically bouncing off the walls in his office.

"Yeah! The phones wouldn't stop ringing even after the show ended. Everyone wants to see this happen." Krist chimes in with a proud smile.

"Hold on there. We're not really doing this. Are we?" Singto rolls his eyes at Krist.

"Of course we are! Even the whole office is buzzing with this idea. We can't let our listeners down." Tay animatedly waves his hands in the air for emphasis.

"Why not? It'll be fun." Krist looks to Singto with a smirk.

"Fun? Fun for whom? For you maybe. But I'm the one who's being toyed with. I'm the one that will have to go out with strangers. How is that fair? Why don't you do it?" Singto challenges Krist. For once he is not freezing in Tay's office because his blood is boiling at the moment.

"Hey, you're the one that believes in something as ridiculous as soulmates. I'm just helping you find yours. And maybe when you can't find your soulmate, you'll finally see the light." Krist sits back haughtily.

Singto grits his teeth. He is this close to strangling the arrogant little shit. "What I believe is my business. I don't need anyone to intervene in my private life."

"What do you have to lose, Singto? The station will pay for all your dates. Granted that you're not going to rent a private jet or something crazy like that. I'll talk to the supers to work out a budget. Think about it. Maybe you will meet your soulmate and prove Krist here wrong." Tay points to Krist. He needs to choose his words wisely to coax Singto into this marvelous idea. This is going to be a great opportunity for their station to garner more sponsors when their ratings sore through the roof.

"How about this, if I meet someone I like, then we stop. But I'll get to help Krist find his soulmate to return the favor." Singto smirks and glances at Krist.

"Fine! I don't mind going out with people." Krist folds his arms around his chest. He's not scared.

"Of course you don't. You go out with someone different every night anyway." Singto quibbled.

"Hey! Don't judge me! It's none of your business." Krist retorts.

"And you're not judging me? You literally just called me ridiculous for believing in soulmates. So who's being judgy here, Casanova?" Singto argues back.

"Casanova? At least I'm not walking around pretending to be a saint. Do you recite Edgar Allan Poe before you sleep or something?"

"Well, I definitely do more sleeping than some people."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Guys! Stop it! Calm down. I actually think Singto has a point. It's only fair. Krist, you help Singto find his soulmate, and then Singto, you can help Krist find his soulmate. It's settled. I'll get the budget figured out. Singto, I'm going to ask the marketing department to create some promos for this. You might have to take some new pictures. Anyway, let's get this plan rolling guys. You guys go work out the details."

Singto grudgingly dumps his bag in one of the empty chairs and plops down across from Krist. There's nothing he can do about it except play along.
