**********
~ At Tristan\'s Condo Unit ~
Zhen-Zhen and Tristan arrived at home together with FaMo. They invited Matthew to join them for dinner tonight. The two men were tasked to cook dinner tonight while Zhen-Zhen would do her homework.
Tristan let Zhen-Zhen use his laptop for her research. He made a mental note that he would buy her laptop and DSLR camera tomorrow.
FaMo was sulking in the living room. He was still upset and feeling down because Zhen-Zhen didn\'t scold Tristan for him. She even defended Tristan in front of him.
[ 30 Minutes later…]
Zhen-Zhen finished her homework while Tristan and Matthew were still busy in the kitchen. She noticed FaMo who silently lying on the couch. Zhen-Zhen approached him immediately.
\'FaMo? How do you feel? Are you not feeling well?\' Zhen-Zhen asked him worriedly.
But FaMo didn\'t respond to her, pretending that he was sleeping. Zhen-Zhen started petting his head as she tried to talk to him.
\'FaMo? Are you mad at me?\'
Zhen-Zhen could tell that FaMo was upset about something. She was thinking if this was related to Tristan.
\'FaMo? I\'m sorry… Did I offend you in some ways?\'
Hearing her troubled voice, FaMo could no longer ignore her. He couldn\'t stand it. He didn\'t want Zhen-Zhen to worry. It\'s just that he couldn\'t help but feel upset.
FaMo finally opened his eyes and gazed up to look at Zhen-Zhen.
\'I\'m not mad at you, Zhen-Zhen. But I am just a little bit sad.\' FaMo said to her truthfully.
\'Why are you sad, FaMo?\' Zhen-Zhe probed, still petting FaMo.
\'Because I feel like you value Tristan more compare to me. You scold me once and twice because of him but you never scold him because of me.\' FaMo lamented to her with his pitiful look.
Zhen-Zhen didn\'t know how to console FaMo. She didn\'t expect that FaMo would take it to the heart. Now, she was asking herself if she became biased between the two.
\'Hey, don\'t think like that, FaMo. Both you and Tristan are important to me. I value you both.\' Zhen-Zhen tried her best to coax FaMo.
\'I\'m sorry FaMo. I didn\'t mean to hurt your feelings. I scold you before because you hurt Tristan by scratching his hand and you were planning to roast him alive. That\'s not good. You are not supposed to harm Tristan that\'s why I scold you.\' Zhen-Zhen explained to FaMo.
\'A while ago, when you complained about Tristan. I can\'t scold him because he meant no harm when he brought you to that place. He wanted to make sure that you would feel better. Looking at those situations, I can say that you want to hurt him but Tristan wants to help you. Did you see the difference now? Did you get what I mean, FaMo?\'
FaMo fell silent. After a while, he bobbed his head in agreement with Zhen-Zhen.
\'I understand now, Zhen-Zhen.\' FaMo mumbled.
Zhen-Zhen smiled and carried FaMo in her arms. She wanted to hug him, letting him feel that she cared so much about him.
\'But still, I\'m jealous. Tristan doesn\'t deserve you. For me, he didn\'t prove himself yet.\' FaMo thought to himself but he didn\'t dare to voice it out to Zhen-Zhen.
\'Cheer up, FaMo. I\'m worried. I thought you were not feeling well.\' Zhen-Zhen said to FaMo after putting his down on the couch.
\'I\'m okay now, Zhen-Zhen. Don\'t worry about me.\'
Zhen-Zhen heaved a deep sigh. She just wished that FaMo and Tristan would get along well someday. She didn\'t want them to fight. She hoped that FaMo would like Tristan and accept him as his friend as well.
They just finished talking when Tristan called them for dinner. The food was already cooked. Matthew was serving the food at the dining table.
Soon, the four of them gathered in the dining area to eat dinner together. Matthew and Tristan asked Zhen-Zhen about her class today.
Zhen-Zhen cheerfully told them the significant things that happened to her today. She informed them about her Sunbae Sophia and her new friends Alicia and Betsy.
She also told the two men that her makeover was effective. No man had paid attention to her. Tristan was very satisfied to hear that. His grandpa\'s suggestion was working and he was thankful for that.
She also narrated to them how his professors answered every question she asked from them. Tristan and Matthew couldn\'t help but smile seeing Zhen-Zhen\'s enthusiasm while telling them those stories.
Tristan was very glad that Zhen-Zhen made new friends and she was adapting very well to this new environment. She could now fit herself in society. No one would ever think that she came from another world and she\'s not a pure human. She\'s making a lot of progress as time went by.
After dinner, Matthew, Tristan, and Zhen-Zhen cleaned up the dining area and washed the dishes together while FaMo stayed in the living room to watch a movie.
When they were done, Matthew finally bade his goodbye to husband and wife. FaMo even accompanied Matthew towards the door. Unlike Tristan, FaMo was fond of Matthew.
Seeing FaMo getting close with Matthew, Tristan couldn\'t help but feel jealous. He leaned on Zhen-Zhen and whispered something.
"Wifey, why do I feel like FaMo likes Matthew more than me? What should I do to make FaMo like me? I always have goosebumps whenever FaMo will look at me. I couldn\'t understand why but I\'m certain that he hates me." Tristan asked Zhen-Zhen, putting on a pitiful face.
