Chapter 5 Breathless

"Where's Nong Nat?" asks Zee, looking at Max.

They all met in the large living area of the white villa after a voice they knew suddenly resounded in all the rooms.

At 6pm, they are all supposed to gather together in front of the big TV. Their challenge will be explained to them by P'Aof himself via stream.

The day went by in a flash.

NuNew and Zee had stuck to his plan. They unpacked their things while surveying the cleverly hidden cameras in their bedroom.

Large, bright and romantically decorated bedrooms with floating veils around the large four-poster beds.

Clever.

Cameras also on the high supports of the beds.

The pool was delightfully refreshing and the walk on the beach let them enjoy the scenery silently by each other's side.

Hand in hand.

And fans got to see numerous zoomed-in moments of Zee dreamily gazing at his NuNew.

His longing eyes rested on his bare feet in the white sand, his pale chest shining through the open buttons of his light shirt, his beautiful face fringed with waving strands of black hair.

Zeenunew fans were shown their romantic pair.

Breathless.

Wordlessly, the two floated in paradisiacal scenery.

Tutor and Yim, on the other hand, made their fans' hearts gallop.

The walk on the beach degenerated into a rangeleit.

Yim repeatedly whined about how hot he was, while Turor endeavored to initiate an interesting conversation.

"What other countries would you like to travel to?" he asked, his cat eyes twinkling.

"Are you satisfied with the path your life has taken so far? And what would you like to change?", Tutor wanted to know Yim better.

"Do you have another dream you're dying to fulfill?" he kept trying.

But Yim found in all the questions the opportunity to make known his regrets about the heat.

And so the fans could see Tutor scratching his head, looking a bit desperate, and finally seeming to have a realization.

And in seconds he grabbed Yim, slung him over his shoulder and ran with him into the water.

Yim screamed and kicked his legs.

But Tutor was not deterred, slapped him on the butt, ran deeper into the shallow sloping cool water and threw Yim with momentum into the water.

And tingling stomachs were allowed to watch as they chased each other in the water, splashing at each other, pushing each other down.

Beaming looks between the two brought smiles to their faces.

And after an extensive water battle, their hearts stopped as Tutor's hand tenderly brushed away the wet strands from Yim's face.

And looked at him with a deep gaze into those big, kind eyes.

And Yim's gentle smile made Tutor unable to resist.

He guided his fingers to the red-wet, ravishing cheeks of Yim and tenderly pinched the soft skin.

Breathlessless.

And the fans screamed at the sight of Yim's face.

Yim allowed this touch.

He was enjoying it.

Most definitely.

Tutor also felt that he was allowed to approach him.

That touch finally brought them closer.

And they smiled sheepishly at each other as the sun's rays glistened on the water beads on their faces.

At the same time, the sleeping lovers were seen in their four-poster bed.

Max and Nat were taking extra care not to attract attention.

They could be physical in front of the cameras, after all.

But they had to watch their words and the intensity of their touches.

And because they were so tired from last night, which had admittedly opened completely new doors of hunger for them, they decided to jump straight into the dreamy big bed after a shower.

Of course, they showered alone.

How could they possibly disappear into the shower together.

Those cameras.

Not in the bathroom, of course, but the entrance is still visible.

And Nat could read Max's thoughts exactly when he wanted to go into the bathroom first.

Max stood in front of the door and seemed to want to say goodbye to Nat for an eternity.

Nat's heart melted at the sight.

He screamed his love to him on the inside and smirked on the outside with sparkling eyes.

Max took in the sight of his Nat and gave him a big grin.

The two of them.

The fans screamed at the exchange of glances between these two obviously lost lovers.

As if you couldn't see the longing in their eyes.

What are you trying to fool us?

And this was confirmed when they had long since fallen asleep.

A camera recorded all the passing minutes and hours, during which Max and Nat first fell asleep at a distance and finally maneuvered in a sleepy, tight dance in bed.

This spacing was even secured by a pillow.

But their sleeping bodies wanted to openly show the world who they belonged to.

Nat overcame the soft hurdle and snuggled up to his sleeping Pi.

Max sleeping face began to smile and he dug his face into Nat's hair.

And the moving bodies revealed more intoxicating moments.

Breath stopping as Nat just laid completely on top of Max in search of more closeness.

He must have liked his mattress a lot, because he started to feel it with his hands.

And a camera change first zoomed in on Nat's face as he kneaded Max's body with his fingers.

A satisfied smile.

And the next cut showed Max biting his lower lip.

And the frenzy seemed to swell over as only moments ago Max and Nat could be seen spooning sideways against each other, slowly waking up.

Max had Nat completely encircled with his large body.

Nat held his arms against his chest and had curled in.

And in a sparkling moment, they both seemed to be awakened by their intense closeness.

And their arms squeezed each other tighter.

Their bodies wanted more closeness.

And Nat seemed to squeeze all the tighter into Max's lap.

And fans will rewind this moment over and over again.

There was a sound.

Nat pressing closer and Max reacting with a sound after all.

Sudden flames.

That was a barely audible groan after all.

And it was Nat who suddenly opened his eyes and understood the situation.

He quickly turned around and whispered something in Max's ear.

And Max kept his eyes closed and turned onto his stomach as Nat gave him a kiss on the cheek and hopped out of bed.

And Nat was in the kitchen and Max still in bed when P'Aof voice told them to come to the living room in 10 minutes.

"Max!", Zee tries to reach his friend, "Where is Nat?", he repeats his question.

Max is not fully awake yet. His head feels so empty.

He is having a hard time thinking and talking.

They've slept through the day and somehow he feels off track right now.

"He'll be here in a minute, I'm sure!" growls Max, suddenly hearing NuNew greet Nat.

"Oh, what you've prepared for us. Mhmmm, yummy!", NuNew Nat picks up the big bowl of fruit salad.

The sweet fruity aroma of the tropical delicacies is in the air.

"I'm sure you've all eaten already. Pi hasn't eaten anything yet though!" chimes Nat's sweet voice closer and closer, finally making Max turn around.

And Max expression on his face as he sees his Nat standing in front of him.

Nat's shirt is untied and his tender chest is beaming. Max's eyes caress that sight.

His tousled hair lines his sweet face. Max eyes soften as he smiles at every inch of his face.

And the longing eyes are directed at his Pi. Who now also looks him in the eye and loses himself completely.

Nat holds a colorfully filled bowl in one hand and a fork larded with pineapple in the other.

The fruity piece of heaven is supposed to go into Max's mouth.

And Max has no eyes for the pineapple.

The world is allowed to see how Max is completely addicted to Nat.

And Nat giggles when he sees Max looking him longingly in the eyes with a stiff body.

"Come on!" he says, "Open your mouth!" he happily holds his fork in front of Max's mouth.

Max grabs the piece of pineapple, then the sweet nong, which makes his heart escalate.

And Max couldn't care less that the other Ships are sitting next to each other, each enjoying his bowl of fruit salad and the TV is turned on.

Nat has to sit on his lap.

He holds him sideways with both arms and lets him feed him.

And his cuddly eyes are accompanied by Nat's giggles.

Only P'Aof voice draws the attention to the outside world.

And the world gets to watch during P'Aof's comments as Nat can't take his eyes off his Pi. He guides the pieces of fruit to his mouth and watches them disappear into that delicious mouth.

Delicate fingers wipe wet spots from his lips.

And are rewarded by Max with a tender kiss.

Screaming fans see P'Aof explain the rules.

They can hear nothing.

Too loud their heart screams for these pictures that these six handsome Thais have given them so far.

Breathless.

"Your challenge today is a role reversal. You have 10 minutes to prepare to slip into each other's bodies. You will swap bodies and then be asked to master a given situation in your new role. The fans tell you which situation you have to portray. You have to say what the other person is thinking at that moment. Show the world how well you know your partners. Whoever laughs first loses. Whoever breaks out of character and reacts like themselves has lost. The fans decide which couple was the most convincing," P'Aof explains the challenge, suddenly laughing.

"Max, Nat, I see you!" he suddenly shouts, "Did you even listen to me?"

And even the laughter of the others can't pull Maxnat out of there own world.

"Don't worry! I'll take care of it!", Zee can finally lead again.

The challenge on Friday can begin.

It's now the fans' turn.

Which situation should your Ships master in the role reversal?
