THE DEWBEST STORY

BEST

'Hey Best! Wake up! We've arrived!' Tar said, shaking his side gently. Best slowly opened his eyes and realised the van was already stopping.

'Have a good nap?' His best friend, Ray asked.

'Could've been better...' Best said, stretching his tired limbs. He was up all night last night, finishing a song.

'C'mon...we got a busy day today...' Ray patted his thigh. 'Babe, can you pass me that bag?'

'Yes dear...' Dave said, reaching for a bag from the backseat of the van.

Tar, Dave and Best got out of the van and loud cheer were heard as the trio made their way towards the building.

'I love you the best P'Best!'
'P'Best is the cutest!'
'Fighting na P'Best!'

Never in million years Best thought he would be this famous...since that day he performed with Tar and Dave at the school's festival, everyone knew who he was. He was a little awkward with all the attention since he literally a nobody...just a regular kid that could sing and play guitar.

'What are you thinking huh?' Ray nudged him, as they rode the elevator towards the recording studio.

'Nothing...just something crossed my mind...' Best smiled.

'You want to talk about it?'

'Maybe later...'

'You know that you could talk to me right?' Ray stared at Best. After being friends for so long, he learned to read Best and he knew if something is up with his best friend.

'I know...' Best nodded.

After high school Best enrolled in a university in Bangkok, majoring in Music along with Tar and Dave. They continued to play in a band together and right after graduation they got scouted by an entertainment agency, launching their music career to stardom. Ray become their manager (thanks to Dave's plea, he can't be away from his boyfriend) and now they were preparing to release their 3rd studio album.

'How's the new song coming?' P'Aun, their boss asked when they were having a break between practise...the band is set to perform for their annual concert next week.

'Almost finish...just need a little touch here and there...' Best said, followed by Tar's and Dave's nods. 'We can start the final recording by end of the month.'

'Great...what's your schedule for today?'

'Well...they have fitting session for tomorrow magazine shoot and guest appearance at tv show later this evening...' Ray said, looking at his digital planner.

'Good, good...keep up the great work ok fellas?' P'Aun smiled. 'Continue with your practise then...'

It was already dark when Best finally home after a busy day. Sitting alone at the living room, he stared at the empty wall in front of him.

His phone rings and his mom's number appeared on the screen.

'Mae...'

'Son...where are you?' His mother's soft voice greeted him.

'Just got home...how are you?'

'I'm fine...thank you for the birthday gift...you don't have to spend so much on me...'

'It's the least I can do for my number one love...'

'You and your sweet talk...just like your father when he tried to court me...'

Best just chuckled hearing his mother's words.

'I have to say...Pa is such a lucky guy...'

'Now it's your turn to find someone to love...you're allowed to date right?'

'Yes Mae...they don't have any dating ban or anything like that...'

'Then what are you waiting for?'

One face popped into his mind and it send various arrows of feelings straight to his heart.
