The shoot went on smoothly, Ohm Nanon becoming more comfortable as their characters, flirting and loving each other just like Pat and Pran. But every time Nanon would walk into a room, Ohm's eyes would light up. He would become happier instantly. Nanon's dimpled smile always seemed to make Ohm happy. Both of them started paying more attention to what the other did, who they talked to, where they went off to. Subconsciously they were always aware and concerned about each other.

Ohm being his playful self never missed an opportunity to tease Non, to flirt with him, or to pass him smirks and smiles from across the room. At first, Nanon was confused but knowing how naughty and playful Ohm gets, Nanon eased into it showering Ohm with his ways of affection-hugging and kissing him. 

When they had to shoot the beach kiss, both knew it might get a little bit awkward. So Ohm smirked at Nanon saying, "Are you ready? or do you want practice with me ? alone? to know what you're getting yourself into? I'm a great kisser you know." 

Ohm was truly being sarcastic and expecting Nanon to just smile and pout. Instead Nanon catches him off guard and says "Wouldn't you like that Pawat? Well actually I  think we could have a little practice," Nanon leans in and continues, "so that your knees don't go weak on your first time kissing me" Nanon flashes his dimples and Ohm's breath hitches his vision getting blurry. And on sudden impulse, without even realising it he grabs Nanon's hand and takes him to a room.

"Heyyy, what happened? I was kidding. I'm sorry if I took it too far." Nanon blurted out. 

"No. NO. I think we really should practice once before doing it in front of everyone. We should have talked about it earlier I know, Im sorry."

Confused, Nanon asks, "What? why? You really want to do it here? I mean not that I m against it..."

Before he could finish, Ohm scratches his head saying, "I don't want to make a fool out of myself out there. I've never really had an intense kiss on screen. So..." 

Nanon laughs , "Neither have I, Ohm. But yeah maybe that would be better". Nanon gradually approaches Ohm, placing his hand on his neck. Ohm looks at him and deep down realises that his excuse was not the only reason he had impulsively pulled Nanon from the set.

As Nanon closes in further, Ohms eyes darken and he closes them waiting for Nanon to close the gap between them. And so Nanon does. They kiss. They're finally kissing in a closed room, without any cameras hovering over them and Ohm suddenly feels panic kick in. He suddenly feels the realness of it all. He does not pull away though, instead he grabs Nanon's neck and pulls him in further and giving him open-mouthed desperate kisses. Nanon opens his eyes to his startle and sees Ohm immersed in the kiss and proceeds to put his hands on Ohm's back and leaning in, gasping and panting. As they pull apart, both of them are flushed, breathless, and confused about whatever just happened. Ohm scans Nanon's face and tries to read his expressions but then is too flustered to function properly.

"Was that alright? Is this how you want to do it on the beach? I thought it was alright you know? you're good.. I mean you're okay. But yeah let's do it this way." Ohm starts to ramble. "You go on, go to the set I'll be there in 5." Ohm rushes out and towards the bathroom. He stands in front of the mirror, sees his face beet red, ears hot and breath shallow. He proceeds to wash his face and the moment he bends down and forward he sees his pants had tightened. "Fuck" he says, in shock and surprise and in horror. He couldn't believe this was happening. He couldn't believe that a kiss from his best friend had turned him on that much. 

Nanon stood in the room, still surprised thinking 'Wtf just happened? Why did this not feel like practice? What did we just do? Did I just kiss Ohm? Fuck. No. This cant be happening right now.'

They go to the shoot earning everyones stares for disappearing suddenly and sit down on the rocks. P'AOf says "And, action!!"

"Can I kiss you?" Pat asks.

"NO. It's my turn." Pran says leaning in, warm hands on Pats cold neck. 

Ohm's heartbeat picks up and they kiss again. This time more clearly as Pat and Pran. The kiss was just as good as the one they shared a few minutes ago. Maybe even better.

That day when their shoot gets over, Nanon hopes they will have a conversation. He hopes Ohm would ask him to stay at his place for the night and talk about what had happened earlier that evening. But it does not happen. Ohm tells him he has to go home that day and hugs him saying bye. This makes Nanon wonder if what happened had only affected him, did Ohm not feel confused like him? was it just him. Nanon sighs and proceeds to go bak home.

They continued to shoot the series normally, as if both had forgotten what had happened. Nanon let it slide thinking that maybe he was just overanalysing everything. Plus, Ohm seemed normal. Little did he know that Ohm was bending every bone in his body to be normal and cool around Nanon, and avoided being too close to him. 

P'Aof declared, "Today we will be shooting all the scenes that happen in the dorm room of Pat. We will be starting with the one where Pran brings Nong Nao back to Pat."

"Shia" Pat mumbled.

As Pran presses the cold green tea bottle on Pat's bare chest, Ohm couldn't help but feel proud of his toned and chiseled body. He had seen Nanon peeking at his body at times and Nanon had also appreciated it saying how hardworking Ohm is. At this moment, Ohm sees Nanon's eyes wander up and down his body and he wonders if that was Pran or Nanon. Nevertheless, Nanon's hands on his body felt like fire and he couldn't help smirking and smiling and feeling tingly all over. He sees Nanon smirk and within seconds he is being pushed back on the mattress with Nanon hovering over him. Their eyes lock and the gaze intensifies, and exactly then Ohm knows he's about to be in trouble. Non eyes Ohm's body, making Ohm feel breathless and proceeds to drag the cold bottle in his warm hands from Ohm's neck to his torso. Nanon pushes himself between his legs making space for himself. His knee rests between Ohms thighs and suddenly Nanon's eyes dilate in utter surprise to feel Ohm being semi-hard. The touch makes Ohm surprised as well and he feels embarrassed and helpless. Nanon however, stifles his smirk and tickles Ohm and finishes the scene. A few minutes later, Non sees Ohm going into the washroom with a red face and avoiding gaze. 

Later when they're about to head out for lunch in the same car, Nanon breaks the silence in the parking lot.

"So.. what happened there?" he asks smirking 

"Don't." Ohm avoids his eyes and walks on. "I'm really sorry. I didn't mean for it to happen. I'm really embarrassed. I don't know what to say. Just.. I'm sorry."

"Hey, its okay. I'm not making fun of you. It's natural. Could've happened with me as well." Nanon says failing to hold back his smile.

"But it didn't happen to you." Ohm furrows his brows and looks at Nanon.

"Yeah, but it's good to know you like having me close to you." Nanon's smirk in full effect, he runs towards the car.

Ohm groans "You're the worst." He mumbles to himself knowing he is doomed.

Ohm had accepted he loved Nanon way back, but he thought he knew his limits and boundaries of this love. he had never thought he would love his best friend in a romantic way, in a way that it would show on his face and body. Yet Ohm is not surprised at this realisation. Deep down he unconsciously knew that his love for Non was unlike his love for any other friends he had had. Ohm sighs and tries to figure about his new found feelings.
