After Phuwin left for his company, Pond sat in his office, gazing out the window, completely lost in his thoughts. The lingering warmth from their kiss earlier stayed with him, making him smile softly. He couldn’t deny it any longer—he was in love with Phuwin. His heart felt lighter, and a sense of clarity washed over him.

"I really can't live without him now, can I?" Pond mused to himself, his fingers drumming lightly on his desk. He was sure about his feelings, and he wanted to make it official. A small plan started forming in his mind, a date with Phuwin where he would ask him to be his boyfriend, or maybe even... marry him.

But then, his more rational side kicked in, reminding him, *Don’t freak him out! You’re the one who suggested taking things slowly.*

Pond laughed to himself, shaking his head. “Right, right. Slow and steady... but I can plan something nice, something romantic.”

As he began mentally sketching out the perfect date for Phuwin, his smile widened. He could already imagine Phuwin’s reaction—those sparkling eyes, that adorable blush. The thought made Pond's heart race even more.

Meanwhile, at a nearby mall, Gemini was wandering around, bored out of his mind. His friends had dragged him along, and he was ready to call it a day. As he walked through the mall, something caught his eye. Fourth, was standing in front of a large poster of Phuwin, cutely posing and taking selfies with it.

Gemini couldn’t help but chuckle at the sight. He knew how much of a fan Fourth was of Phuwin, and seeing him fangirling over a poster made Gemini smirk mischievously. He figured he could have a little fun with this.

He walked over to Fourth, a sly grin on his face. "Hi, Fourth."

Fourth, noticing Gemini approaching, smiled back and waved. "Oh, hey, Gemini! What’s up?"

Gemini crossed his arms, looking at Fourth and then at the Phuwin poster. "What are you doing?" he asked, though the answer was pretty obvious.

Fourth beamed, holding up his phone. "Can’t you see? I’m taking selfies with my idol!"

Gemini burst out laughing. "Seriously? With a poster? Why not just take a picture with the real Phuwin?"

Fourth pouted, obviously confused. "What do you mean?"

Gemini’s grin widened as he teased, "I mean, you could take a picture with the real Phuwin. You know what I’m talking about, right? You’re such a hopeless case, Fourth.  Stupid FotFot." He emphasized the nickname with a chuckle, clearly enjoying himself.

After Gemini called him "stupid," Fourth's expression turned to one of annoyance. He frowned at Gemini, crossing his arms. "Crybaby," he muttered under his breath, just loud enough for Gemini to hear.

Gemini's eyes narrowed as he turned to face Fourth fully. "Who are you calling a crybaby, huh? You’re the baby here, stupid baby!"

Fourth's frown deepened as he shot back, "You’re the baby! You can’t even eat your veggies, crybaby!"

Gemini’s mouth dropped open in mock offense. "Oh, I see how it is! You think you’re so clever, huh? At least I don’t pose with posters like some fanboy maniac. That’s baby behavior, FotFot!"

Fourth huffed, stepping closer to Gemini. "Better than crying over spinach at lunch! You always whine   like you’re five years old!"

They continued bickering back and forth, their playful insults bouncing off one another as they walked through the mall, oblivious to the stares they were getting from passersby.

"Stupid baby."

"Crybaby."

"Veggie hater!"

"Poster hugger!"

The argument was completely childish, but neither of them seemed to mind. After a while, the heat of their argument fizzled out, and both of them couldn’t help but start laughing.

Fourth rolled his eyes, shaking his head with a grin. "You know, you really are impossible, Gem."

Gemini chuckled. "And you’re just as stubborn. But that’s why we make such a great team."

Fourth smirked, his irritation fading as they walked side by side. "Yeah, yeah. I guess I’ll forgive you for teasing me... this time."

Gemini bumped Fourth’s shoulder lightly, grinning. "You better. I mean, how else are we going to annoy each other if we don’t hang out?"

Fourth laughed at that, the tension between them fully gone. "True. Alright, let's just hang out for a bit and forget the arguing."

With the argument settled, they spent the rest of the afternoon wandering around the mall, laughing and teasing each other in their usual way, enjoying the carefree moments of friendship.
