"That bad? What do you feel?", the younger brother asked.

"I don't know. I think I need an eye doctor, a heart doctor, and a neurologist.", he responded still feeling confused.

"Huh?!", New responded, mystified at what his older brother is babbling about.

"You sounded like you're about to die.. Or you need to replace all your organs.", he commented, massaging his nape.

"I know, right?! It's serious!", Off exclaimed, still bewildered

"I know, right?! It's serious!", Off exclaimed, still bewildered.

"Can you elaborate what you mean?", he asked Off.

"Well.. When I looked at Gun.. He looks so handsome and cute.. And he is glowing. I think my eyes are defective. And he is moving slowly. Like in a slow motion, bro! I think, my brain is damaged. And I might be having a heart failure. It's just beating fast for no reason!", he explained exaggeratedly.

New shook his head, putting his hands on his hips, suppressing a chuckle.

"I know what you need.", he said, holding Off's shoulder, then pauses.

"What?", Off listened intently, just wanting to get the pieces put together.

"A psychiatrist.", New uttered grinning.

"Come on! Let's go back or we will get scolded by P'Jen.", he then coaxed Off, shaking his head.

Off hesitantly followed back in the room. P'Jen approached him right away.

"Are you good?", she asked.

Off nodded, putting his hands together and bowing his head, apologizing.

"Sorry, P. I wasn't ready earlier. I was feeling woozy all of a sudden.", he explained.

"Alright. Can you continue?", she asked again, being considerate about Off's condition.

"Uhm.. Can I skip this activity for now? I- I can't think properly right now.", Off requested.

"Ok. No pressure.", the trainer approved, patting Off's arm as she turned her attention towards the remaining couple.

"Ok..", she continued on the activity, clasping her hands together, putting on a smile.

"Let's move forward.", she said, referring to Tay and New.

Off sat in the corner distancing himself from Gun

Off sat in the corner distancing himself from Gun. He saw the little man glancing at him so he gave him a nod, acknowledging Gun's presence.
Gun slightly bowed his head as a response.

"Things I like about New. It's hard to say for now.. Can I say things I dislike about him instead?", Tay asked P'Jen, not looking at Newwiee.

New furrowed his brows, looking irritated.

"Hey! I could say the same thing to you! I can't think of anything that I like about you either!", Newwiee retorted.

"Eh? How does that work?", Krist asked, wondering.

Singto whose still cuddling with Krist, ruffled his partner's hair, looking amused.

"Attraction works in different ways. Those two are oblivious to their own feelings. The more they deny it, the harder they fall.", Singto explained to Krist, almost whispering to his ears so no one can hear them.

"Oh.", Krist responded, agreeing to his P.

"Really, you two are giving me a headache!", P'Jen exclaimed, her hand covering her face in frustration.

"Fine! Whatever!", she still agreed, giving up on the couple's stubbornness.

Tay crosses his arms over his chest, straightening up his sitting position.

"New is a jerk. He thinks he is cool. He acts cute in front of everyone but he is actually stubborn and proud. I don't like when he does that. It doesn't suit him. And when he dresses up, he always let his chest exposed like some kind of a hunk. Like what the heck?!"

"Hey! You are not any better! You expose your chest when you're going out and acts like you're a hottie! You keep complaining but you are as bad, if not worse than me!", New retorted, feeling annoyed

"Hey! You are not any better! You expose your chest when you're going out and acts like you're a hottie! You keep complaining but you are as bad, if not worse than me!", New retorted, feeling annoyed.

The people who are watching them are bemused, some are shaking their heads, others are face palming, like Krist and Off.

"Oh, brother! Will these two ever work out?", Gun asked himself, bewildered at the intensity of the two.

"Oh, my!", P'Jen interrupted, exclaiming. She massages her temples, looking even more stressed.

The pair glances at each other, rolling their eyes.

"That's it for now. I'm going to go bald with you two.", she said, ending the session.

"Your activities isn't over yet. Starting tomorrow, all of you should always stick together. When you're shopping, dining out, tv guestings, playing sports, or just chilling out, you must do it as partners as much as possible. Avoid fighting especially in public places..", she paused glancing at Tay and New.

"Try to wear couple things like shirts, belts, shoes, caps, accessories, etc. This might help you feel more connected. I will return 3 days before your month stay ends. I'll be checking on your progress". She continued.

Everyone present are listening intently, nodding their heads.

The men continued with other activities, reading their lines, running over their scripts until the day ended.
