"Good morning, guys!" Shannon greeted as the morning alarm came off together with the lights on.

There were just a few responses she got from the others. They were still like in the moment of what happened last night. All the beds are occupied now—it is the first time that it happened. Laura and Emilio didn't stay on the same bed. Emilio decided to sleep in the extra bed on the hunk lounge while Melinda and Antonio slept on their beds alone.

Shannon get up from her bed and immediately went to Laura's side and comforted her. She hugged her tightly.

"How are you?" she asked.

Laura faked a smile. "I'm okay... don't worry about me."

"This is just a phase," Shannon added. "You'll get over this. And this isn't the end of your journey with Emilio. The fact that he's still here and both of you could still continue what you have, I think there's nothing wrong with that. Let's just understand where Antonio and Melinda are coming from..."

Laura just heaved out a deep sigh. Cinema joined them both.

Just after that, they decided to get out of the room, and then as they headed to the beauty lounge, they've met Emilio along the way. He greeted them all. Laura and Emilio shared a smile, but she couldn't stop herself and just passed by him so she stopped from walking away and called him.

Emilio turned around and welcomed Laura rushing towards him.

Laura rest her head on his chest while Emilio embraced him so tight he doesn't wanna let her go. When Shannon and Cinema saw that they needed some space and talk about what happened last night, they leave them alone.

Laura and Emilio decided to go to the backyard and sat on the swing so they could talk alone. Laura rest her head on his shoulder while Emilio's hand wrapped on her waist.

"Why did we have to go through this?" Laura muttered.

Emilio took a deep breath. "I'm still shocked what happened last night," he said.

"As am I," she agreed. "I know everyone saw my reaction when Antonio picked me. I didn't expect that. I didn't know he would do that when in fact he knows that we're having a great time with each other. I just don't understand why he would pick me when he can choose Albertyne or Melinda who is definitely gorgeous."

"Maybe his intention doesn't want to break us apart," Emilio said. "Maybe it has something to do with what the captain said yesterday. Do you remember that?"

"What was it?"

"Oh, the part where he said that there might be three travelers will be leaving the cabin," he explained. "And there's only one of us in here left the cabin. But I still don't know... I'm still guessing what's happening here because I'm not sure how this really goes."

"But the good thing here is... we're still here," she said.

He smirked, nodding his head. "True. I guess that is what matters now. We don't wanna anyone to break us apart. Even though you were coupled up with Antonio right now, it doesn't mean we'll stop here and forget about ourselves. Maybe in the next coupling, we'll finally get back with each other."

She smiled, slowly nodding her head. "And I'm already looking forward to that..."

While they spend some time in the backyard, Antonio talks to Melinda as they could still feel the tension up in the air. And of course, they want their stay in the cabin without messing with anyone. Antonio only did that for the sake they could stay in the cabin and even though he feels so bad about it, he has to do it, but gotta repent now.

"Guys," he said, standing up in front of everyone. "I and Melinda would love to say something about what happened last night," he continued. "Can we all go to the central lounge?"

"Alright," Carlos said. "I gotta look for Emilio."

"He's with Laura," Cinema said. "I think they're in the backyard now.'

"Then I'll get them," Carlos said.

Everyone left the room and headed to the central lounge. A moment later, Carlos arrived with Emilio and Laura. Antonio didn't seem to mind their relationship since he doesn't want to be the reason to break them apart. When everyone settled on a seat in front of them, Melinda and Antonio stood in front of them.

"I'm sorry about what happened last night," he started. "We didn't mean that it would cause some trouble I guess from everyone, but we're here to clear the air and we hope you understand our explanation."

"I'll start," Melinda said. "The captain gave us a task. That is... we should be coupled up with a traveler except for the one who we came in. So, in short, Albertyne and I cannot be coupled up with Antonio so does he. The captain said that three of the travelers could leave the cabin last night, but it didn't happen since Antonio picked the fourth-order to choose beauty. So..."

"I had no choice," Antonio said. "The three beauties that were left to choose are Melinda, Albertyne, and Laura. For me to stay, I had to choose Laura. And I'm sorry, Emilio for taking her away from you, but I only did that to stay."

Emilio nodded and put a thin smile on his face.

"We didn't even know when the coupling happen," Melinda said. "We thought we'll have a day or two to get a connection with the hunks, but the hours we have yesterday weren't enough... so we did what we have to do to stay..."

Shannon's eyes squinted when Melinda mentioned that. "Wait, what did you mean by you do what you have to do to stay?"

She winced. "Albertyne and I had to connect with the hunks... we talked... and some of them, we kissed."

"And... who did you kiss?" Shannon asked as she was so intrigued.

Melinda remained with a straight face. "I've kissed Dong-Yoon, Berkeley, and Carlos... Albertyne kissed them, too... so... that's it."

And Shannon looked at Carlos and she just stared at him like she was hurt. She left the central lounge heading somewhere else. She was followed by Cinema and Laura. And then Minetta and Mallory were so pissed about what their couple did and lied to them.

Antonio and Melinda thought they finally made it all up with them... but then again, another tension arises and they couldn't wait to escape it.
