The next morning Gun woke up to his phone blowing up with notifications. He had over 30 missed calls from his colleagues, managers, and friends. Gun was annoyed with the constant texts he was receiving as well~
He finally decided to call back his 'Mae', P'Godji. "Morning." Gun grumbled as he saw it was too early, his plan of sleeping in disturbed.
"Morning grouchy~ Have you been on any socials yet?" She perused. "Not yet~ why? Am I involved in a scandal or something?" Gun asked suddenly more alert. He didn't want his fans to be alarmed.
"I wouldn't call it a scandal per se, someone posted pictures of you and Mond on a dinner date. Since you're so shippable with anyone, people compiled all the other times you hung out with Mond and are convinced both of you should get together. It gained a lot of traction. You're trending with him on Twitter #MondGun"
Gun thought back to the time when Off would get jealous of him and Mond hanging out, in fact Gun had to distance himself from Mond because of Off's possessiveness. Gun smiled sadly, he was such a horrible friend to Mond meanwhile Mond was being a good friend to Gun yesterday and listened to his rants. Gun made a mental note to thank Mond properly for not giving up on their friendship.
"So I guess it's normal protocol right? Not to say anything and it will go away." Gun revealed. "Correct! Maybe don't hang out with Mond in public for a month." Godji suggested.
"Okay Mae, thank you." Gun said before hanging up. Gun sighed and finally checked his socials. Sure enough, there were lots of compilations of him and Mond. A part of Gun wondered if Off saw this and if he still cared... even a little bit. Gun had to mentally stop himself from going down that thinking train. "He's getting married Gun, move on please." Gun reminded himself.
Gun scrolled through the pictures and smiled as he reminisced last night. Mond made him laugh so much with his crazy stories~ he was definitely a great distraction. Gun opened his email and saw his manager send through the reality dating proposal Mond was telling him about earlier.
Fated to Date?
A reality dating show where protagonist dates
3 other guys and towards the end will choose one lucky fellow to continue the relationship and be the last couple to join the highly anticipated "We Got Married Thai Edition!"
Gun continued reading through the details and found it amusing. Obviously it's going to be scripted with lots of improv. Gun liked the challenge and his fans will be able to see him in a new light. He then sent his approval of the project to his manager.
Incoming Call: Newiee
Gun answered, "Neww!"
"I leave for a week and you're dating Mond?! I disapprove ~ he never listens to me and does whatever he wants. Dump him!" New fretted.
"Slow down, I'm not dating him, we just went to dinner that's all. Me and him~ just Phi-Nong, I promise." Gun said. That seemed to calm New down. "Okay Gunnie~ remember I worry for your own good."
Gun smiled, he can always count on his bestie. "Speaking of which, I accepted a new project... the Fated to Date reality show. Not sure if you heard of it." Gun announced. "I've heard of it, so will you be dating a bunch of guys like The Bachelor?" New asked.
"From what I understood, I'll only be going on dates with 3 guys and then I'll make my decision in the finale. The one I choose will partner with me in We Got Married Thai edition." Gun explained. "Ohhh We Got Married is such a great show! I love all the couple pairings." New said excitedly. "Exactly! I wish I knew who I was dating though." Gun pouted. What if he didn't like his options, or worse, what if they're somehow connected to that b*st*rd Off. Whatever, Gun shrugged.
"Hmm, let me see what I can find out for you, I'll be in touch~ Byeee." New said before ending the call.
Gun suddenly got a text from Tay:
Tay: Pet~ let's meet please! 🥺
Gun groaned, he didn't want to meet up with Tay... he'll only be reminded of that good for nothing jerk. But Gun sighed, he can't really hold it against Tay because he was a genuinely good person.
Gun: 🙃ok!
