    Her Hand's clutching her trousers as her eyes looked around trying to avoid the people infront of her.

Mr. Xin's smile was wide as he admired the sight of zal sitting beside her.

zal gulped sitting straight stiff, trying to avoid everything about the girl he sat beside with.

Her sweaty hands clutching her pants and he can clearly see it.

Her knuckles turning pale as she bit her lip without letting them know.

"Hey, don't you think he upgraded so fast?"

Kai frowned as Timmy whispered.

"Wot?" He said munching on the bite of salad he took. "

to sit infront, now he's sitting right beside her"

Kai's eyes widen as he glanced at Timmy before he cringed at him while Timmy glared at Zal who awkwardly took the fork that was beside her plate before keeping it beside his plate.

"Jesus Christ, Zal eat first" Kai mumbled out as Zal looked at him before glaring.

"Get yourself ready, I'm going to punch the junk out of you"

Kai Looked up before his eyes got teary.

"What did I do here!" He whispered as Zal shook his head not wanting to talk.

Kai grunted before glancing at Cia who's staring at them both all this time.

He smiled hesitantly before glancing aside feeling Timmy smiling wide at her.

"Don't worry, I'm here." He winked making Kai sigh in defeat.

His eyes stared at him in annoyance before he strech his arms.

Accidentally his hand smacked his head making Timmy scream in pain.

"Yah! What the f-"

"oh my apologies, it's my fork" Tommy Tilt his head in confusion before taking his fork.

Kai closed his mouth Almsot bursting into laughter as Timmy hit his head with fork before squealing.

"Be careful, sometimes it can rip your brain"

Timmy flinched as Kai whispered before taking the wine glass and doing cheers with Lily.

Timmy cussed under his breath as Lily laughed quietly.

Her eyes landing on zal who's trying to eat salad while looking so deep into the bowl.

Cia sat there twirling her fork in bowl making Zal frown slightly since he could notice the way she's avoiding the food.

She glanced at him all of a sudden making him look away coughing out loud.

      Lily's eyes signalled kai to look at zal and he looked before smiling at Lily.

Lily shook her head chuckling before glancing again.

Her eyes blinked noticing the space between their chairs.

She smirked to herself as she moved her chair so zal will move more closer to Cia.

Zal looked at Lily before she hurriedly told to move a little forward.

Cia looked beside herself noticing there's no space to move.

His shoulder hit hers making him look at cia.

Their eyes didn't meet but each other's warmth got them shivers,

  it made Zal bit his lip feeling his hand balling into a fist.

That feeling of her skin against his shirt,

  he's not wanting it to be over.

She looked at him before taking her fork and taking a bite of salad as he looked at her.

Her small mouth took bites as he adored it more than anything.  

 Imagine watching her eat like this everyday? Maybe atleast for that I need to-" 

   His eyes widen as he coughed choking on his own saliva.

"Fuc-" he coughed more as he realised he almost cussed infront of her. 

  Mr. Xin looked up at them.

"Honey brin-"  his words paused as Cia got up ,

 .hurrying up to kitchen as Zal's eyes widen feeling his throat getting Spicier.

"W-water-"

   "here!" She took his hand as his eyes widen before she kept the water glass in his hands.

Mrs. Xin rushed Inside the dining room before noticing zal drinking water.

"Oh my! Are you okay!" When she's about to step forward,

    Mr. Xin held her wrist. She looked at him as she frowned.

"Honey-"

"Look at her" he said as she looked at them hesitantly.

Zal tried to calm down as she clutched her shirt tight while he coughed more keeping the glass aside.

As his coughs continued,

          her hand raised before patting his shoulder.

He tried to calm down as she slowly tried to make it more spacious for him to breathe

by removing her chair from the table.

Patting his shoulder,

    she looked at him getting more comfortable.

After few seconds,

    his eyes glanced at her making her eyes go wide.

Her hand paused in midway.

Her lips pressed together as she removed her hand making him control his small cough.

He looked at her while clearing his throat.

He sighed as she sat on chair far from table before he pulled it close.

His eyes looked into hers as he bit his lip pulling her chair closer.

He moved it against table so it'll be comfortable for her.

"Thanks, now eat" he said as she hesitantly tried to say something but then Zal sighed rubbing his thighs with his hands.

His head turned to look at them but then,

     his body froze noticing how quiet it is and how awkward their stare is.

He looked around noticing Kai about to throw his fork at him in frustration.

Lily about to burst into laugh and Everyone looking at Cia and him.

He immediately cleared his throat hesitantly and pulled his sleeves up.

   "Ah, where's soup? I'm really thirsty Gosh"

he said as Mrs. Li hesitantly laughed with nervousness.

"Here, Zal. It's hot so be careful"

she smiled as he politely nodded bowing as he took the bowl with his both hands.

"Thank you for the food, Mrs. Li" he said before glancing at his mom.

Mrs. Xin smiled at him hesitantly before sitting beside Mr. Xin.

   "I didn't expect them to be this close."

Mr. Xin said sighing as Mrs. Xin hummed.

Mr. Xin looked at her noticing how cold her tone was.

  "What's wrong?" He mumbled as She sighed aloud smiling at the people infront.

"let's eat"

  she said sighing as she took the chopsticks.
