"Mix my goodness why are you hiding there??"... startled Khao exclaimed while wondering.

"Shhhhhhh!!"..." Be quiet Khao!!"... Mix quickly reprimand him while glaring at his friend.

"Mixxxx?"..." What is it this time??".....
Khao questioned him in a very suspicious tone, but somehow he already had his speculation on what's going on.

"WHAT!!".."I did not!!"..."And stop looking at me like that?"... Mix defensively retorted.

A stern expression is written all over Khao's face, afterwards he raised his left eyebrow indicating that his not buying Mix's innocent act.

"Fine!!!" Mix frustrated uttered.
"I was just playing a prank with him"...
"That's it!"..."I didn't mean to.........." but Mix explanation was cut off by a loud yelling outside their unit.

"MIXXXXXXXXXX!!! YOU LITTLE RASCAL!!!"
"I WILL CASTRATE YOU IF I EVER SEE YOUR FACE!!"

Mix and Khao was startled by the furious voice they heard outside. Quickly Mix held his hand to Khao's arms as if seeking strength and courage from his friend.

Soon after, a loud knocking from their main door echoes across the floor. It's enough to almost destroy their door with the force exerted by the person banging it.

"MIXXXX!! OPEN THIS DAMN DOOR!!!"...
"I KNOW YOU'RE INSIDE"... A fierce and authoritative voice commanded Mix accompanying again with a series of loud knocking.

Mix who was now panicking after hearing the angry voice from the person outside quickly push Khao and practically forcing him to face the person outside in his behalf.

"What??"..."Why me??"..."Are you out of your mind Mix. He was looking for you!!"..."You face him!!!" Khao retorted back fearfully.

"Khao did you not hear how enraged he is?" "He will definitely skin me alive if he finds me. Please help me...just this once....."
"I begged you"... Mix frustrated plead to Khao to help him on this situation.

"I promise you if you help me, I will cover your one-week meal allowance...." Mix added.

Khao pause for a while and think about the tempting offer by Mix.

"Make it a month and...." but before Khao can even finish his terms Mix already accepted his compromise.

"DEAL"....Now go!!".."Face him. Tell him I went to NASA and landed on Mars"... Mix with his puppy eyes push his friend to face the angry wolf who keeps on brutality knocking their door.

Khao took a moment of silence and pray hard that he will not be dragged on this before he faced the person outside.

"WHERE IS HE???"... The tall guy with a dangerous look immediately ask Khao as soon as he opens the door.

"P'Earth....his not here"... Khao quickly retorted while cheering himself for not stammering while saying this words.

"Nong Khao if you don't want to get involved, just show your friend NOW!!"... Earth furiously demanded emphasizing the word "now".
