Win and Luke arrive at the party quarter to eight and Luke parks the car next to the other cars that lined up just outside the place. Win takes his leave out of the car and Luke walks beside him. They both trudge towards the fun that has already started. The young man looks around and feels flustered by the number of people swarming the whole place. It is buzzing and rustling with every known celebrity from Thailand - even his friends are present - Khaoutung, JJ, and Pluem.

Though he is invited to the party, Win still feels so out of place for so many reasons. Luke feels the anxiousness that is lacing Win so he offers him a smile which the latter rewards with eye-rolls and huffs. Now, the young man feels the weight of his hasty decision walking next to the man who has been clinging unto him since earlier. He doesn't take delight from those actions like he used to before - right now, it only annoys him to the core.

"Hey!!" It was Tay's voice greeting both with a solo cup on his hand and pink taint on his cheeks, he's probably already drunk. "It's nice to see you!! Come!! Come!! Take a seat around that bonfire and I'll grab you both drinks!!" Tay announces while pushing them all the way to the bonfire together with the other celebrities.

Luke blends in with the crowd easily and introduces Win to some people as his companion for the night. They already talked about it before, if he introduces him more than a companion - he's landing a punch right into his precious face. And so far, the other man had been cooperative enough and shakes hand with the rest. They finally sit right next to each other with their own cups of beer from Tay which Win just holds unto.

Though crowded, Win sees the only face that he wants to actually get a sight of for the night who is sitting right next to New, Bright. The man is holding a solo cup himself and Win can tell from afar that the older man has been drinking since who knows when because of that flush on his cheek. Win tries and stirs his sight away from Bright and into the performance happening on the small stage in front.

"Win's here," Tay whispers to Bright. "Over there," he then uses his forefinger to point to that specific place where his date is sitting down which is next to Luke.

Bright flicks his tongue against his top palate and his jaw clenches, the jealousy that he's feeling is hammering inside of him but takes control. He knows that it is his fault that Win is not sitting next to him and he promised the other man that he's going to endure seeing him with someone else. Though feeling pained, Bright still looks at Win and thinks that it is still so early to steal him from his date and even hates the idea of calling Luke as Win's date.

Bright just stares at Win who seems to be so engrossed with the show while he gulps on his solo cup that probably has alcohol in it. The man takes his time etching Win's beauty in his mind while he gulps down on his own cup. All of a sudden, Win's eyes are staring back right to his making him flinch from the contact. Bright then indulges in those eyes that reflect the dancing flame from the bonfire. The man raises his eyebrows playfully and Win rolls his eyes making him chuckle lightly.

Still cute even if he's mad.

The night carries-on and there are a lot of things happening around which doesn't excite Win at all. He just decided to come to the party before because of Bright, and when the latter went into being a jerk - Win is stuck with Luke. For now, he's still waiting for the male to actually show up and steal him away from his date. Well, he could just go up to the man if he wants to but he didn't want to do it - if Bright thus really wants him then the man has to do his part with their bargain well.

Win looks at his wristwatch, it is already ten in the evening and he's also a tad tipsy from the alcohol that he had consumed. Food, alcohol, dancers, men, and women flood the whole place and Win doesn't understand why in the world are their lap dancers at the party. Win looks at his date that had been snatched away by one of the women. Luke is now receiving some lap dances in the middle of the crowd who's cheering with the show. He doesn't care, he's too tired to care about his ex and just wants to see Bright and be with the latter.
