Kimmon's POV

I woke  up feeling well rested. I must have been really exhausted last night, both physically and emotionally. The moment I had given Copter a tight hug and a good night kiss, I had gone off into slumber land.

I turned to Copter's side to put my arm across his chest but I realized that his side was empty. Where did he go? Perhaps he had gone to the bathroom.

I decided to wait for him to come back to bed. I turned to look at the other bed in the middle. Godt was still in bed fast asleep but Bas was also missing.

The bed by the wall was completely empty.

I decided to get out of bed to see where the four missing persons had gone off to.

I found them in the kitchen preparing our breakfast. Actually they had finished preparing breakfast.

Copter was already setting the table while Tee and P'Tae were placing scrambled eggs onto two big plates. Bas was placing the last two pieces of bread from a toaster onto a pile of other toasts on two big plates.

Copter looked up to see me watching him from the doorway.

"Good morning, P'Kim," he greeted me.

Everyone else turned and greeted me. I greeted them all back.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" I asked.

"You can take the jar of marmalade from the refrigerator," said P'Tae. "Oh, and you could also bring out the carton of milk and the bottle of orange juice."

I proceeded to do so.

After placing the plates of toasted bread on the table, Bas went off to get Godt.

Godt's POV

I was awakened gasping for air.

I struggled. Someone was trying to kill me by suffocating me with a pillow.

I managed to remove the pillow from my face.

I looked up to see Bas looking down at me, laughing himself silly.

"Breakfast is ready!" he announced.

I got up to run after him but he managed to get away from me. I caught up with him just as he reached the dining area.

I held him tight with one arm around his waist and then proceeded to tickle him till he was gasping for air.

"Stop clowning around you two and sit and have some breakfast," said P'Tae.

"He was suffocating me to death!" I complained.

Everyone laughed, showing me no sympathy.

"I guess that was the only way to wake you up." said P'Kim as he handed a toast with some marmalade on it to Copter. I also saw him placing some scrambled eggs on Copter's plate. He was giving too much attention to Copter, treating him like a big baby.

I noticed that Bas was looking at P'Kim's actions.

Bas turned to me and said, "Do the same for me."

Shit, P'Kim was giving a bad example for me. I didn't want to let Bas sulk though, because he can really be a big baby sometimes, no, all the time.

I lifted him and he squealed as I set him down on his chair. Then I proceeded to do the exact same thing for him that P'Kim did for Copter.

I saw Tee who was still standing from the kitchen sink, turn to look at P'Tae. Before he could say a word to P'Tae, P'Tae shook his head. 

I had begun to realize that P'Tae was a very helpful and kind person but was not someone who would display his emotions in front of everyone.

It so true that you would have to live in close proximity with someone if you wanted to get to know his character better.
