**Eafia** (**Ea/**son and So/**fia**) is a semi-canon pairing between Eason and Sofia.

## Relationship

During Eason's first visit to Sacred Hearts Primary School, it was love at first sight for him when he first encountered Sofia, who was singing at that time. Eason was immediately smitten and took a liking for her. Eason was not afraid of expressing his interest in Sofia, having calling her his "angel" on multiple occasions and fancied her singing voice, courage and unique sense of style. During the preliminaries of the interschool singing competition, Eason took the chance to go up and flirt with Sofia before his team's turn to perform.

Sofia, on the other hand, was initially shown to be visibly unamused by Eason and his flirtations, primarily due her mistaking his interest to be towards Mia instead, so much so that she was in great shock when Eason dropped the bombshell of how he was indeed interested in her instead of Mia.

Despite the former ambiguity of Eason's crush on Sofia, the two indicated great amount of knowledge and understanding to each other's singing skills beforehand. Eason recognized Sofia's outstanding singing from Candy JEM and hence how the trio were trying their best to harmonize with her; Sofia was surprised by Eason's singing ability during his team's performance in the preliminaries, praising his pitch to be "awesome" and how only she could rival him.

Despite Eason's coquettish nature, he did exhibit genuine care and concern towards Sofia, particularly when the latter was shown sobbing after the competition ended, Eason went up to her in an attempt to comfort her despite the girl's rebuke (of which he was not dissuaded by) and asked for Sofia's name amid the sad tension Sofia emanated. In the end of the finals, Eason was happy for Sofia and her team's performance, explaining how it gave him goosebumps. To keep in contact with Sofia, Eason openly flirted with her once more as he gave her his phone number and expressed his preference in her dressing style.

## Among The Fans

Eafia is one of the least shipped pairings but still has a number of supporters. The reason why this pairing is supported is possibly due to the fact that Eason cared about Sofia by attempting to comfort her after the failure of Candy JEM in the preliminaries of the singing competition and the fact that Eason has interest in Sofia's sense of style. The pair's relationship is focused on one book:
