Gun smiled as he watches the interview with Singto.

"He finally roared. Go, Lion!", he thought to himself, smiling contently. All this time he knows what Singto truly feels. He became Singto's confidante when Krist became aloof towards his 'ex' partner.

"He has a new girl", Singto called him up in the middle of the night one day, sounding sad and was about to cry.

"Hey.. Chill. It might just be a fling. Remember his ex lasted only for like less than a month.", Gun comforted Singto. He heard a sigh from the other end of the line.

"Yeah.. I know.. And even so.. He will never look at me that way. All I can do is to watch over him and be there as his P that I should be.", Singto answered in a lonely voice.

"Sing.. You should really try telling him how you feel, you know? Maybe you'll get a positive reaction?", Gun adviced his friend.

"I've been trying to show him through my actions. He doesn't seem to notice it. Or he might just be ignoring me. Besides, last time he was teased being paired up with me, he began avoiding me. Then he got a girlfriend after a couple of weeks. I don't think I can handle it if he hates me when he finds out about how I feel.", Singto responded, sounding helpless.

Gun sighed, feeling sorry for his friend

Gun sighed, feeling sorry for his friend.

"He isn't homophobic, right? Why would he hate you?", Gun asked, trying to encourage Singto.

"No. I don't think so. But that doesn't mean he would fall for a man. Especially with me. His P.", Singto replied, in a lonely voice.

"Well.. I'm just saying what I think would help. You can either keep it inside and endure these kind of scenarios over and over just to stay as his friend. Or tell him straight once and for all and risk losing your friendship but you might get a chance to be more for him. It's your call.", Gun resigned. He has ran out of comforting words for Singto.

This is not the first time, he ran to him. There were times they hung out with Krist, and Krist would bring his girlfriend along, Singto's mood changes. Gun usually hugs him or rubs Singto's back to calm him down. Sometimes, Singto would ask Gun to go with him especially when Krist is together with a girl. It's his way of hiding his pain. There are many times he would stop Singto from throwing a tantrum when he gets too jealous of Krist's interaction with his girl. Singto would just clench his fist and walk away. Gun just feels sorry for Singto everytime.

"Gun, Krist just called me up. He broke up with his recent girl again", Singto reported to Gun during a press conference, smiling warmly. Gun just felt exhausted that day that he wasn't in the mood to listen properly.

"You know? Instead of acting stupid over Krist's lovelife, you should really be courageous and confess to him. You won't know what you two were going to be unless you do something about it. You're the P for crying out loud! Man up!", he scolded Singto, too late to realize he said too much.

Singto went silent after that. He apologized to Singto and the latter just smile and gestured an 'OK' sign.

After that photoshoot with Off and Krist, Singto opened up to Gun his intention to start acting up on his feelings. He didn't elaborate how but Gun finally understood it during the conference when they got reshuffled.

"Is this your plan?", Gun asked Singto when the conference was over.

"I just wanted to be near him as much as possible. I didn't expect we will be paired up. I just recommended him to P'Godji.", Singto explained to Gun.

"Alright. I wish all the best, silly Lion. Go get your man.", Gun nodded, then patted his partner's shoulder.

Though he was saddened cause he is used to having Singto around and as a partner, he understood that Singto needed this chance to be liberated from all the doubts and what ifs he has been having since the day he learned to love Krist. Thus Gun finally agreed and signed the contract.

Then the rest is history.

"Little Gun.", someone poked Gun's arm which cut his train of thoughts.

He looked around and saw Off looking down at him.

"Hmm?", he replied, creasing his forehead.

"I'm hungry.", the tall man uttered.

"So?", he asked, a little puzzled.

"Dinner. Cook for me." Off replied.

"Ah. Right." He remembered the 'punishment'. Without a word, he stood up and went to the kitchen.

He rummaged the refrigerator to look for something to cook. Off was behind him, watching him closely.

"Choose.", he asked, looking back at the tall handsome guy. Off gazes at the small guy.

"Fried eggs?" Or hard boiled eggs?", he asked Off in a serious tone.

Off looked confused.

"Alaiwa?", he asked.

"It's the only dish I can cook.", Gun answered lazily.

Off scratched his head, looking dismayed. He then smiled after.

"Fine. I'll eat your eggs however you cook it.", he responded, smirking.

"Pervert!", Gun whispered to himself, suppressing a smile, shaking his head.
