A/N:  You might be asking yourself why I am posting when it's technically still October, and I said I would be taking this month off to just relax and hopefully play catch up.  Well, when I posted Chapter 20 I realized how close I was to reaching 300 votes for this story.  So, I went ahead and proofread Chapter 21 expecting to post it once I did.  I will admit that I was sort of hoping to be able to post Chapter 21 and 22 together simply because they go together.  Perhaps, I will start proofreading Chapter 22 so I can have it up by either Friday or Saturday.  I don't think I can personally make you all have to wait until the first week in November to receive that update.  Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter.  It was so fun to write it!

Once again, they won't let me lift a finger to help clean up. I know that they are trying to be endearingly chivalrous though; so instead of making a big fuss about it I let it go, but I know once we do live together if it keeps happening it will eventually grow to irritate the crap out of me. Hell, I'll probably end up appreciating it greatly when it comes to the week of my period, though. I'm especially thankful that I had it recently, just because it would take another month before I would experience their care during that time of the month. Hopefully I got over my immense mortification regarding the subject due to how Gamon already addressed that particular topic of conversation last night. If they all handle it as maturely as he did I am sure it will probably no longer be embarrassing at all. Heck, I will probably relish in any and all pampering that would take place.

Once the dishes are done we all regroup in the living room. "So, you mentioned a game?"

Minsook nods with a sly smile. "I thought maybe we could play 'Two Truths and a Lie.' Although, most of us know each other's truths so it would probably be best if only you tried to figure ours out."

I nod my head in agreement before thinking to myself. Well, at least it's not 'Truth or Dare.' They would have probably all targeted me if that were the case, and there would be only so many times I could say truth before they would end up insisting I try a dare. I kind of always ignored the dares in the few games I had played before now.

"How are we going to determine an order?" I find myself asking.

They all look around. "Rock, paper, scissors?"

I groan mentally in my head. I've never been good at this game. I never know what to throw, but I humor them nonetheless. It takes a few minutes to get through the game, but luckily I don't end up having to go first. I am going third instead, so practically the middle. I'm honestly pretty relieved about it.

Gamon is going first. I turn to him while he thinks about what he wants to say. "Number one. While Thai is my native language, I learned English before I learned Korean. Number two. Along with those three languages I'm also proficient and practically fluent in Mandarin, Japanese, Hindustani, Spanish, Portuguese, and French. Number three: I've known Pêe Mengrai since we were only ten years old."
