It's been almost two months, Mean and Plan are meeting quietly in the gazebo.  That afternoon, Plan walked towards the gazebo as usual.

Mean sits there quietly staring at Plan who is approaching him.

"You're late," Mean says.

His tone was irritated.

"Your sister invited me to talk. I can't possibly refuse it," Plan's tone was lazy to answer.

He sits next to Mean.

"What smell is this?"  Plan's nose smelled a rather seductive scent.

"What?"  asked Mean.

Plan rose from his seat.

He walked towards the smell and he arrived in front of the waterfall.

Mean follows him from behind.

"Lotus flowers," Plan say softly.

He crouched down and kissed the flowers while closing his eyes and smiling.

"Hmm, very good," Plan said.

He plucked one flower, took its petals and ate it.

Mean looks at him.

"What are you doing?"  asked Mean.

"Don't you see? I'm eating this flower," Plan says, showing Mean to the flower.

"Is the flower edible?"  asked Mean in surprise.

"Eh, you don't know?"  Plan was stunned.

Mean shook his head slowly.

"Give it a try," Plan thrusts flowers in Mean's mouth.

Mean looked at him for a moment.

Then he ate it.

"Delicious!"  said Mean.

Plan turned and smiled.

Mean gasped.

"This is the first time you've smiled at me," Mean's voice was low.

Plan's turn was taken aback.

"That's because you always mess with me," muttered Plan.

His gaze was on the lotus flower.

"Feed me again," Mean said, pointing to the lotus flower.

Plan feeds Mean again a lotus flower.

They are absorbed in eating the flowers.  Plan suddenly felt nauseous and wanted to throw up.

He held his mouth so as not to vomit.  He also stayed away from Mean.

"Are you okay?"  The Mean tone contains anxiety.

Only then, Plan has seen Mean's softer side.

Usually it is their veins that speak to each other.

"I'm nauseous, ... probably ate too much of this."  Plan refers to the lotus flower.

"Can I help you," Mean again said softly.

Again Plan was stunned.

Mean looks at him anxiously.

"Please wipe my back," said Plan, unable to see Mean's gaze.  There was Phi Nat's gaze there.

"Hmm," muttered Mean.

He then stroked his back slowly.

"You have to see a doctor!"  Mean suggest.
