After spending time with Kai at Central Perk, the group went back to their apartment building. Kai headed back home. At the apartment building, the group were all having lunch. Once they were all eating their food, Ross and Chandler came up to Joey. They were all still eating food that Monica had made for them.
"Come on, Joey! We already know that you like her.",said Chandler.
Joey almost looked like as he was about to choke on his food from what Chandler just told him.
"No, I don't. We're just friends.",said Joey.
"Joey, come on, we all know you already! We could tell that you already like this girl.",laughed Ross.
Joey stood frozen for a moment in silence. He had looked around, all around, to see that everybody else was already looking at him. They were waiting for him to say something. That was when Joey let out a heavily sigh as he looked at everybody else.
"Alright, fine! I like this girl.", Joey confessed.
This was actually hat they were all hinting at.
