Friends with Benefits

Attraction

Ohm Pawat and Nanon Korapat, two rising stars of Thai television industry. Ohm is a well known name in BL industry but he gained overnight fame with his new series The Bad Buddy in which he acted opposite his bestfriend and partner Nanon Korapat. Nanon has always been the golden boy of television industry.  Camera and limelight has always been part of his life due to his parents. He gained fame with varied portrayal of characters in television series. The Bad Buddy was  his first BL series. He was skeptical to accept this project but ended up doing it because of the director PAof and his bestfriend Ohm Pawat. This decision proved to be his golden ticket into BL industry.

Ohm and Nanon have been bestfriends since they worked together in the series  Blacklist. Chimon, Nanon's bestfriend was the link between them but soon Ohm and Nanon became inseparable. Even before Bad Buddy series, people began to ship them due to their undeniable chemistry. According to everyone around Ohm, Nanon and Chimon, they were a goofy set of friends who enjoyed each other's company and stood by each other through thick and then. But there was a secret between Ohm and Nanon that not even their bestfriend Chimon knew about. They were not just bestfriends but bestfriends with benefits.

Flashback:

Nanon is a method actor. So it took him some time to get into a character. When he started the workshop for Bad Buddy series, he was still holding on to his previous character's mannerisms. So he found it hard to act as Pran. He spoke with Ohm and PAof regarding his situation. PAof suggested them to spend some time together as well as understand Pran's character and his feelings so that Nanon can portray the character well.

Ohm and Nanon spend their time playing games, going to movies and dinner together but Nanon still could not get himself into the character as they were already used to doing these things as bestfriends. Nanon was getting frustrated now and Ohm was feeling helpless. Finally Ohm came up with a plan. He asked Nanon to stay with him in his condo so that they could  read the script and practice the script. Nanon agreed to this as he really wanted to be prepared for the next workshop.

Later Ohm and Nanon reached Ohm's condo. Ohm asked Nanon to take bath first while he took care of some pending work. After some time Ohm entered his bedroom to see Nanon standing there in his towel searching for clothes in his cupboard. He had forgotten to take out clothes for Nanon. This was the first time Ohm saw Nanon in a towel. Nanon hardly went topless before others. He walked towards Nanon mesmerized by the water droplets flowing down his back. Ohm stood behind Nanon and placed his chin on his shoulder. He then wrapped his hands around Nanon's waist and pulled him towards his body. A gasp escaped Nanon's mouth as he felt his naked back plastered to Ohm's bare chest.

Nanon: Ohhhmmm

Ohm: Shhh

Nanon felt current run through his body as he felt Ohm's breath on his neck.

Nanon: aaahhhh

A moan escaped his mouth unknowingly.

Ohm turned him around and gave him an intense look. Nanon felt his hands and legs trembling under Ohm's smoldering look. Suddenly his gaze changed to something soft. His eyes were filled with love and longing and there was a small smile on his face. He moved his face closer to Nanon's face. Nanon could not take his eyes off Ohm's face. He felt things that he had never felt in his life before. There was feeling of longing in his heart. At that moment he wanted Ohm to claim his lips and declare his love but suddenly Ohm started to laugh loudly.

Nanon was shocked by Ohm's sudden change in mood. How would the situation change so fast from sensuous to comedy? What the hell was happening  here?

Nanon: Ohm...

Ohm: I am sorry. I am so sorry. You were finding it so difficult to get into character. So I just wanted to help.

Nanon: So everything that happened just now was an act.

Ohm: Hmm

Nanon: You moron.

Nanon started to hit Ohm with a pillow. Ohm quickly got hold of his hand and twisted it and held it towards his back.

Nanon: Let me go.

Ohm: No

Nanon: I said let me go Ohm.

Ohm: No. Please forgive me first. I will then let you go.

Nanon:Okay

Ohm let his hand go but Nanon once again tried to hit him. This time Ohm wrapped his arms around him and hugged him tight.

Ohm: I am sorry na Non. I  just wanted to help you. I saw how frustrated you were and I cannot see you like that. I know I crossed a line today but I didn't know what else to do.

Nanon let out a sigh and hugged Ohm back.

Nanon: It's okay. I just got shocked because I never let anyone come so close to me.

Ohm: You need to get used to it Non. We have so many romantic scenes together. I know your are okay with skinship and cheek kisses but we need to show more. We need to be romantically involved for this series. You have to love me like a lover . Can you do it?

Nanon: I will try.

Ohm placed a kiss on Nanon's cheeks and asked him to wear some clothes. They then went through the script for next day's workshop. Nanon still felt a bit awkward acting in romantic scenes with Ohm but it was much better than last time. Their eye contacts improved a lot.

Ohm: Let's wind up for today.

Nanon: Okay

Ohm and Nanon went to the bedroom to sleep. Both of them lie on the bed looking at the ceiling. There was a comfortable silence between them that they always enjoyed.

Ohm: Non

Nanon: Hmm

Ohm: Do you want to stay with me for the Bad Buddy shooting schedule?

Nanon: For the entire schedule?

Ohm: Hmm

Nanon: But won't you feel like I am intruding your privacy.

Ohm: No. I love your company. May be this will help us to understand our characters better.

Nanon: Okay.

Ohm: Great.

Ohm's laughter echoes through the apartment. Nanon also smiles feeling Ohm's happiness. Ohm pulls Nanon into his arms and they go to sleep hugging each other. That day something changed between them but none of them wanted to accept it.
