Parallel Universe [NaMon Fanfic]

Chapter 1

Chimon's POV

Nanon Korapat Kirdpan, born December 18, 2000 in Nonthaburi, Thailand. He's an actor, a singer, and a YouTuber. He first appeared in TV commercials then made his acting debut in 2014. He appeared in films, television, music videos, and songs. Wikipedia did his research well, but I still don't know who the person in front of me is. I still can't believe that in a span of a moment, he managed to come in my life and turn it upside-down.

My phone felt heavy on my hand as I glared at Nanon. Whatever. I should assess the situation and find a solution instead. The sooner this shit is fixed, the better.

"Today, I have a surprise for you guys!" His latest live played on my phone, which ended just a while ago.

"Let's countdown!" His smile looked brilliant in the video, contrary to the scowl on his face right now.

"3" he said enthusiastically in the video. Right now, the only enthusiastic person here is his girlfriend.

"2" He started walking upstairs.

"1" He stopped walking.

"Today, I'll introduce you to the person-" That exact moment my shoulders appeared on the screen, then I turned around. Thank goodness I still look good. I look shocked though.

"... I'm dating." In the video, I slowly looked from my hand, to the person, to the phone he's holding. His hand shook as he let go of my hand and frantically ended the live.

"What now?" I asked, my right foot compulsively tapping. I still have somehere else to go to. I need to settle this situation as soon as now.

"Look, I'm sorry-"

"Nong, honestly. What I need to hear right now is what you'll do to manage this situation," I said. He looked shocked at my words. I suddenly felt a little guilt. I did not mean to sound mad. I breathed in deeply to calm myself. I checked the time. I really need to go.

"I need to go. Give me your Line ID so I could help if you have a plan on how to fix the situation," I said as I fumble to open Line. I gave it to him and watched him type his Line ID. I started compulsively tapping my right foot again.

"See you," I said and left his place. What a waste of time.

I hailed a cab and went to Pluem's location as fast as I can.

"Hey, sorry I'm late. I just got caught up in something," I said when I found him. We're shooting a series right now but I came to the taping set late.

"It's alright. Honestly, you don't have to be here. You already finished your scenes, right?" he said. What he said is actually true. The only reason why I'm here is because I want to show him my support.

"Don't you want me here?" I asked.

"Oh, are you sulking?" he asked. I shook my head.

"Come here," he said. I walked closer to him. Suddenly, he pulled me to a hug.

"Here," he said as he slightly caressed my hair.

"...is where I want you to be." I smiled. I savored every second. It's not always that Pluem would show this affectionate side of him.

"Attention everyone!" the producer said. He let go immediately.

"Sit here first," he said and motioned me to his foldable chair. I sat down while Pluem ran to resume shooting. I looked around his stuff and organized some of them. There's towel on the table that I folded. There's also his script carelessly thrown in his bag, which he left open. I sighed and decided to organize his bag. I was neatly putting them on the table beside me when I felt my phone vibrate. I took it out and placed it on the table upside down. I want to focus on Pluem's bag first. As expected, his stuff smells like his perfume.

"Lights, camera, action!" I turned to the producer to see what they're shooting. Oh, they're shooting a scene with Pluem in it. I kept glancing back and forth between him and his stuff. I like watching Pluem act but I want to finish organizing his stuff as soon as now.

Then, I heard my phone vibrate incessantly. What the hell? I took it to turn it off but I noticed the notifications. They're all from that Nanon. I decided to finish organizing Pluem's bag before reading Nanon's messages.

I'm sorry for what happened earlier.

When are you available?

I have an idea on how to fix this.

When can we meet?

Are you available now? I can just go to you.

You're shooting a series now, right?

I'll be there soon.

What the hell? What's with him? I glanced at Pluem. He's on his phone. I walked out of the set to call Nanon.

"Where are you?" I asked.

"I'm on the parking lot. I'm almost there," he said. I can hear the driving noise from the background as well as a woman's voice, although her words are inaudible.

"I'll meet you there," I said, then I walked towards the parking lot. He just got our of his car. As I suspected, he's with his girlfriend, whose still inside the car. I walked towards him purposely.

"What's the plan?" I asked. Right there and then, an irritating squeal erupted out of nowhere. I turned around to see where it came from. Two girls are giggling at each other.

"We are fans of you," the girl on the right said. Oh, okay. I smiled at them widely.

"Can we take a picture?" the same girl asked. I nodded at them and gestured them beside me. They giddily walked almost ran between me and Nanon.

"P'Nanon, we watched your live!" the girl on the right said. Please don't tell me it's that live.

"You're dating, right?" the girl on the left asked. They both squealed again. My smile almost faltered. Deep inside, I can feel discomfort and annoyance rising to the surface. I started tapping my right foot incessantly.

"Nong, why don't you take your picture already?" I asked them as nicely as I can. They smiled and took a picture. I wonder what Nanon's girlfriend is thinking right now.

From my peripheral view, I saw someone emerge. It was Pluem. His face was unreadable. I hope he's not overthinking things.

"We'll get going now! Please be together forever!" Finally, the two fangirls left. I smiled and waved goodbye. I turned to Pluem's direction but he's already gone.
