"What was that?", Off asked seeing that Gun murmured something.

"Uh, nothing, P. I said, what if we just eat out for dinner?", Gun suggested.

"Hmm.. No. I want a peaceful dinner with a hottie server.", he teased, smiling sweetly at the little guy.

"What's the deal with this man?", he thought to himself, trying to ignore Off's flirtatious gaze.

Since Off let him decide what to cook and doesn't really mind whatever Gun is going to serve, he boiled 3 pieces of eggs. He intends to just peel them off and serve them on top of a bowl of rice. As he looked at the tall guy carefully observing him, waiting like a little child, Gun changed his mind. He felt guilty to serve a plain dish to P'Off. He took his phone and browsed for some easy to cook dishes in the internet. He scanned the refrigerator and took out some ingredients and meat to cook another dish. He then got busy preparing and cooking the meal. Sweat rolling down his forehead, he wiped it off by the back of his palm, chopping the inions, mincing the garlic and other spices.

He noticed that the tall guy is gone. He looked around the kitchen but he couldn't find P'Off. He just shrugged it off and continued doing his task.

Gun then carefully placed eveything on the dining table, complete with food and table presentation.

When he's done, he peeked in the living room to check if the flirty guy is in there. None.

"Hmm.. He must be upstairs and have fallen asleep while waiting?", he told himself. He went upstairs and checked in their room. None.

He went downstairs again and was about to check in the yard but he came across New entering the living room.

"Hey, bro. Have you seen P'Off?", he asked the mascular handsome man.

"Hmm.. I saw him just a moment ago going out on his car.", Newwiee replied, pointing outside.

"What the heck?!", Gun exclaimed annoyingly. New got startled at Gun's reaction.

"This little guy is almost as scary as P'Off", he thought to himself.

"Eh.. What's wrong?", he asked.

"Seriously! Nevermind.", Gun replied in an irritated voice, sighing heavily. Gun turned away, stomping his feet as he sat down on the couch in the living room.

"Asked me to cook then left me hanging. Whatever!", he uttered to himself, displeased.

New shook his head as he went upstairs to get changed. He has a date tonight and he is excited about it.

"Hey, pal. Sorry. Namtan asked to have a dinner together", Gun recieved a text from Off. He just sighed and shook his head, unconsciously reached out for the remote control and switched on the TV, staring blankly into the screen, his mind is off somewhere.

Meanwhile..

"Hi, baby!", Namtan gleefully greeted Off as she got out of the gym. She pecks a kiss on Off's cheek as soon as she got close to him. Off welcomed Namtan with open arms.

"Hmm.. I thought you're gonna be busy today?", Off asked, wrapping his arms around his girlfriend's waist.

"I am. I actually only a little over an hour to spare. Need to get back to work after.", she explained, looking exhausted. Off's expression grew dim. Namtan gazes at Off, pouting.

"I'm sorry, baby, if I almost don't have enough time for us.", she said, looking guilty. The tall handsome man just sighed then nodded.

"It's alright. Just don't over exert yourself, ok?", he said, trying to understand his girlfriend's situation.

"I will, babe. Don't worry.", Namtan responded, reassuring her man. Off nodded, letting her go so he can open the car door for her.

They have been together for 3 years now. Though Namtan's career has been more successful than Off, they never had an issue about it. Since Off's showbiz career is taking off as well, they seldom see each other lately.

They just had a light dinner in a nearby restaurant. Off then dropped Namtan off at the shooting location for her movie.

"Call me up if you ever need anything.", Off said as he bids goodbye to his girl.

"Ok. Drive safely. Love yah!", she responded, waving goodbye to Off who was sitting in the driver's seat. Off just nodded, checking his wrist watch. It's past 9pm.

Namtan then walked away towards the set while Off was watching her go. Namon, Namtan's co-star known for being a playboy, greeted the woman. He then put his arm over Namtan's shoulder as he glances at the man who was watching them as if he was provoking him. He grinned at Off which made the latter annoyed. Off's brows furrowed. Namon then kissed Namtan's cheek, smirking.

"Wanna make our bed scene realistic?", Namon said in a loud voice.

Off lost his cool. He got off his car and ran after the two then grabbed Namon's arm and take it off his girlfriend's shoulder.

"What the- ?!", both Namon and Namtan were startled at the sudden pull.

"Do you wanna have a go?!", Off challenges Namon. His eyes full of hatred.

Namtan held Off's arm, trying to pacify him. While Namon acted clueless and innocent.

"What's going on? Calm down.", she said, looking anxious.

"This mother fxcker is testing me!" Off responded, his burning eyes fixated on the man in front of them, pulling Namtam to his side. The staffs and crews on the set heard the commotion and began to sorround them.

"What's happening?", the director butted in.

"Namtam, take your boyfriend away. I don't want a trouble maker here!", he said, staring sternly at Off.

Namtam then held Off's hand, trying to pull him away from the scene.

"Babe, don't make a scene here. Please.", she said in a dismayed voice. Off glances at his girlfriend, still feeling annoyed. He let out a sigh then brushed Namtan's hands away and walked out.
