It's unusual that even with a complete attendance, nobody has started talking at this lunch table yet.

The boys are seated next to each other this time and left a vacant seat for Felip who is probably still asleep.

Some of the girls are still tortured by hangovers and some are still embarrassed slash mad at the boys from all the chaos yesterday.

Paige is fresh from the bath when she takes a random seat.

Shading Paige, the unfiltered Stell finally came up with something to talk about "Parang ang dami mo naman nilutong fried chicken ngayon. May kilala yata akong paborito ang fried chicken" (I see you've cooked so much fried chicken for today. I think I know someone who loves fried chicken)

Paige snaps a 'don't even think about it' look at Stell's direction.

Everyone knows full well that Felip's boyband nickname, "Ken", had something to do with his favorite food: fried chicken.

Josh just kept his head down, probably flustered about everything Paige has heard from earlier.

Stell couldn't erase his bantering face while putting rice on his own plate "San na ba si Ken? Tulog pa ba yon? Tawagin nyo na" (Where's Felip? Is he still sleeping? Somebody wake the kid up)

"Anong petsa na aba. Alam nya na dapat yun" (It's two in the afternoon. He should know that) Pablo releases his leader mentality again.

"Ako yung pinaka maaga nagising ah" (I woke up the earliest) Justin raises a defensive hand as if he's reciting something in class, obviously intimidated by this side of Pablo.

"Ay nga pala... Girls, siguro nagtatampo parin kayo samin" (Hey.. by the way... Girls, we know you're all still mad at us for ignoring you yesterday but..) How could these girls resist Josh's softie side? "Bati bati na tayo ha? Task lang samin yun okay?" (I hope we're all good now. It was just a task, okay?)

"Ah task lang pala yon! Sabi na eh!" (I knew it!) Dianne instantly accepts the apology. The other girls went with it too.

That's all it takes for everything to be back to being their normal noisy state.

Felip sluggishly turns up and sits on a chair that's been reserved just for him "Yoooo"

Felip sat coolly and his lip formed a lopsided smile while he goes for two chicken legs at the same time.

It's a mission accomplished for Paige.

But Erin takes the credit.

"Ken, here. Kunin mo yung chicken skin ng sakin. Favorite mo to since nung bata pa tayo diba?" (Ken, here, you can have the best part of my chicken. It's always been your favorite) Erin is sat right across Felip, a perfect spot to hog Felip's attention.

Erin just keeps serving specific parts of her chicken on Felip's plate now.

"Ano ba to kumain ka nalang dyan, ga." (What's this for? Just eat up, babe) Felip doesn't realize he had just involuntarily called Erin what used to be their term of endearment years ago.

Then, there's a short judgmental silence. A sign that everyone in the room heard it.

There's a hint of pleasure in Erin's stunned reaction.

Even Felip had realized his own mistake but tried to remain inattentive to the awkward atmosphere.

All different kinds of reactions burst out from every single person.

"Muling ibalik ang tamis ng pag ibig..." (Bring back the sweetness of love...) Stell teasingly sings a romantic theme song as his way of annoying Felip and it made the lunch table break into pits of laughter.
