From the start, Kristen and Suzy always stick together. Whatever Suzy do, Kristen would be there. The girls start to feel sick and tired of them but what could they do. Kristen also a member of Ranger Team and was listed in the same group with Suzy which is at the Alpha group.

While they are doing their work, Greyson, Dale, Elvin and Nicky were singing to cheer up the moment.

Lyeon and other members help Jakzen to lift up all the ingredients they need to the cooking section. Rivera also want to help them.

She tries to lift up a wooden box full of big pepper but she couldn't.

"Strange, why couldn't I lift up this box? Is it because I was hungry?" murmured Rivera while looking at the wooden box.

Sammy come and he lifted up the wooden box of pepper. Rivera gasped when she saw Sammy could lift up the box easily. Rivera stared at Sammy as he walked off with the boxes.

"Well, he is a man. Sure he can lift it up," said Rivera, coughing a few times to cover her embarrassment.

Rivera look at the wooden box full of eggplant. "Okey, let's try it again. Don't embarrass me this time, okay?" said Rivera as if the wooden box can talk to her.

Rivera then try to lift up the wooden box. But once again, she cannot lift it up.

Suddenly someone tapped her shoulder. Rivera quickly turn her head to the back.

Lyeon smiled at her and said, "Nevermind, Rivera… You shouldn't help us. We can do it. You can go sit there."

Rivera feels embarrassment. She shows her smile and try to act cool. "Oh, okey. If that's what you want. I just want to help."

"You don't have to help us. We can do this job," said Lyeon again. He lifted the wooden box that was two times bigger than the eggplants box.

Rivera gasped again but she quickly hide it because Lyeon is looking at her.

"You can go sit there, Rivera. Let the men do this work," said Lyeon again. He walked away to send the wooden box.

Rivera watched Lyeon go and she saw the big muscular hands of Lyeon when he lifted up the box. Rivera was impressed. "Woo, such a muscular man! How masculine is that!!" said Rivera praised in a low voice.

Near them was Becky. And Becky saw what did Lyeon do to Rivera and how Rivera act. But it didn't give any impact on her.

Becky just looking at them with a calm face and she continue to light the lamp.

Nic approaching her while holding a torch.

She smiled brightly to Becky. "Becky, don't you think they are creative? Even though we have a torchlight and modern lamp to lights this place, but they insist on using this torch and oil lamp??"

"Yeah, they sure are creative. Anyway, it was fun to light up this oil lamp," said Becky.

"Right!!!"

Becky put the oil to the oil lamp and Nic use the torch to light it up. Suddenly the fire turn bigger and the flame come toward Nic.

Nic and Becky was shocked but couldn't react at the same time.

Terence quickly pushed Nic to the back until the fire return to it smaller size.

Nic gasped in relief. She didn't hurt at all. It's all because Terence help her right on time.

"Fuh! Nic, that was close. Thankfully, Terence pushed you right on time," said Becky. Becky is far from the fire than Nic so she didn't get hurt by the fire.

"Thank you, Terence. I almost got burnt!" said Nic to Terence. When Terence shifted his head to Nic, Nic suddenly become fl.u.s.tered.

"Are you really okey? Be careful next time. It was dangerous. Lucky I pushed you or you might be spending your time at the Medic Room," said Terence.

"Yes, I'm okey," said Nic again, blushing. Damn, I cannot like him. Not at this time!

"What happened here??" asked Carlos, also coming with a torch in his hand.

"Nic almost got burnt by the flame. Terence managed to pushed her on time," explained Becky.

"Got burnt?? Are you alright, Nic??" asked Carlos.

Nic nodded softly.

"Let's light up the last lamp," said Terence.

He and Carlos then move to the last lamp.

"Are you sure you okey, Nic?" asked Becky.

"Huh? Yeah, I'm okay. Why?" said Nic.

"Because you were blushing!! Did your face got burnt as well?" asked Becky again.

Nic quickly cover her face with her right hand. "What blushing? Maybe it's because of the lights of the lamp," Nic said as she walked away hurriedly.

Becky look at Nic furiously.
