"I promised …" He gasped for breath "That I would protect you and I intend to keep that damn promise"
As Jay delivered those lines with tears in his eyes , the director yelled "Cut" and the whole set was filled with applause . Jay thanked everyone , until his eyes landed upon the person who occupied his mind while he delivered those lines. Lauv applauded with crowd, wearing the warmest smile .
Like past two years Jay booked a room in a restaurant to celebrate their anniversary . While feeling the warmth of each other's hand Jay brought up the topic of coming out , on which Lauv denied immediately.
He always wanted to make their relationship public , but Lauv persuaded him not to do so . Even though nothing will make him happier , he knew once Jay will come out a large part of society will not accept him making an impact on his career, in turn making it difficult for Lauv.
But Jay had enough of it. He asked a waiter in the restaurant to record them and leak the details, from Jay's phone itself . In return he will pay him ,and he will not be blamed for it .
It didn't take long for the news to go viral. There were supporters but haters as well .
There was no need for investigation as Jay accepted it was him who planned all this. Which definitely made Lauv angry but he understood him and loved him .
Present
After a lot of discussion five months later when the film made its way to the big screen . The dialogue
"I promise…..That I would protect you and I intend to keep that damn promise" left a great impact on the audience . Slowly but surely ,society started accepting them .
