"MATE!"

Ohm knew for a fact that being around Nanon might get difficult for now, for some time at least. Ohm knew it was best if Nanon didn't know what he feels towards him. It scared Ohm to think of the repercussions it could have on their relationship. So Ohm decided to just act his way through for the upcoming months. But Nanon and Ohm shared a weird telepathy, an emotional accuracy if you may, where they could tell by each others eyes and faces if something was up. 

The next couple of days were rough, to be vague. Ohm was constantly torn between using his character as Pat to be near Nanon and touch him and feel him, or to be a decent friend and not let his feelings take control. At the end of every shoot, the shower in Ohm's condo became his comfort place to think and ponder and to blame himself for letting that happen. Ohm knew it wasn't his fault that he fell for his best friend, Ohm also knew that it would have happened eventually someday, because their bond was beyond special. So he blames Pat instead.

Ohm begins to wonder why and when exactly did he start liking Nanon? They became good friends during The Blacklist era. Was it when they started sharing a ride to work everyday? Was it because they found common ground in their love, passion and sincerity for acting? Was it because Nanon accepted Ohm despite his flaws? and respected him for the kind of person he is? Was it because Ohm found it baffling how someone was ready to change themselves to adjust to him? Was it because Nanon became a strong pillar for him and helped him out whenever he needed? Was it how Nanon didn't find him or his energy too overbearing? Was Nanon the only one who could handle Ohm's childish, naughty and playful side without getting overwhelmed? Was it because Nanon was equally clingy as Ohm? Was it because Nanon made Ohm laugh? Or was it because Nanon was just a beautiful person inside out? He absolutely is gorgeous Ohm thinks.

Ohm sighs and smiles thinking what a wonderful person Nanon is. How could one not fall for him.

Ohm's thoughts knew no end. He was now more often lost in his world and his friends had to shake him out of it. One night when the gang decided to hang out and go drinking, Ohm thought he really needed a break and agreed to it. Nanon, Chimon, Jimmy, Drake and Ohm met up in a busy bar and decided to get wasted. Their gatherings were mostly about them teasing Chimon about Love (even after all this time), Jimmy and Drake talking about random stuff and about working out which engulfed Ohm as well and Nanon being the mom. Ohm got up from their seat to go to the bar counter and get some more drinks for himself. When Nanon noticed Ohm missing after a couple of minutes, he went to find him. Seeing him at the bar, shoulders drooped, Nanon sighed 'This stupid boy!' 

"Ai Ohm, how much did you drink?" Nanon asks eyeing the empty glasses in front of him.

"Not enough apparently..." Ohm says when he feels his skin buzzing at where Nanon was touching him.

Nanon laughs, "Okay big boy, lets get back to everyone."

Ohm gets up but proceeds to the dance floor leaving Nanon. He starts dancing awkwardly at first, just swaying to the music, like most drunk people do. Soon he finds a partner, a petite pretty girl with a dimpled smile, who begins to dance with him. Drunk Ohm is delighted at the company and begins to dance with the girl. Nanon turns around to find Ohm on the dance floor with some girl whom he didn't recognise. As the music grew louder, Ohm's moves became more confident and the proximity between him and the girl decreased. Initially, Nanon stood there laughing at Ohm, but now his fists had clenched unknowingly. The moment he saw Ohm's hands on the girl's waist, Nanon barged in and pulled Ohm. Ohm, a little bit out of the trance now, looks at Nanon in confusion. The girl stops Ohm holding his other hand, saying, "Can I have your number?" She then leans in to say "You had some pretty hot moves. Maybe we could get to know each other a little." She flashes her dimples at Ohm and this exchange only makes Nanon angrier. Ohm then, a little out of daze proceeds to say, "Im sorry, I already have someone I like. And their dimples are cuter than yours." Ohm teases and then leaves, Nanon following him now.

"Why did you stop me mid dancing?" Ohm complains to Nanon.

Nanon sighs, "You were drunk mate, I didn't want you to do anything you'd regret later."

"I wasn't even that drunk Nanon. That girl was really cute, did you see her? "Ohm says his head still buzzing.

"Yeah yeah.. but didn't you say you like someone? Huh? WHO IS IT? Do I know her?" Nanon asks, his curiosity getting the best of him.

Ohm panics, "um.. no.. No-one. I had to make an excuse. I could have gotten some action you know? if you didn't interrupt." he blurts out and rushes outside. 

Nanon feels a little bit bitter hearing Ohm talk like that, and he doesn't understand the source of his bitterness. He sighs and lets it be. 

Ohm rushes to his car and thinks of what he just said to Nanon. Ofcourse he would not go home with that girl, he was too drunk to even properly think about what he was doing. He probably danced with her because he saw dimples and imagined it to be Nanon. 'How Pathetic' he thought. He regrets his words and shoots a text to Nanon, "Im in my car. do you want go home together?" Ohm thought Nanon would refuse after his rudeness, but a minute later he gets a knock at his window.

"You can't stand being without me even for 5 minutes, can you?" Nanon smirked. 

"Oh, don't be too overconfident. I needed someone to drive and figured you'd be sober. So here, I'm just using you for your services." Ohm countered, panicking again at the last part of his statement.

Nanon raises his brows and smirks at him "OH Are you now? Well, in that case I'm glad to be able to help you out." Nanon winks at Ohm and takes the driver's seat.

"Are you flirting with me khun Nanon?" Ohm asks, semi shocked and semi happy.

"I don't know, am I khun Ohm?" he pauses, "You'd be laying on the floor if I started flirting with you." Nanon shoots.

'Oh so he wasn't flirting.' Ohm thinks a little disappointed. He then proceeds to break the tension by blurting "I'm sorry. For what happened inside. I didn't mean to be rude. I was just drunk and a little bit frustrated I guess." 

Nanon tries to suppress his annoyance at the memory, "Its alright mate. I just didn't want you to do something stupid."

"hmmm. And I don't like the word 'mate'. Don't call me that. You're not British huh." Ohm says.

Letting out a small laugh, "What else should I call you, my friend? Tee-rak? Tua-eng? Hmm?"

Ohm can't help and feel his insides twirl at Nanon's nicknames, but he rolls his eyes to show his annoyance and says, "Stop it! Drive!" 

When they reach Ohm's condo, Nanon says he could take a taxi to his flat. To this Ohm insists, "No, take my car. We have a shoot in the evening as it is. You can pick me up in my car. 555" "Or you could stay at mine if you're tired" Ohm suggests.

"No that's fine. You should rest up. I'll see you tomorrow evening." Nanon goes to the car, but turns around to say "Make sure to drink some water and eat something before sleeping." And then he goes off, leaving Ohm feeling all sorts of butterflies. 

Ohm takes a shower, then sits in his couch to eat a snack. His mind can't stop from thinking of the possibilities of Nanon flirting with him. Why else would he say all that? Was that him being Pran? "ugghhhh.." he groans and goes to sleep.

Nanon, on reaching his apartment, decides to skip shower and lays in his bed after a change of clothes. 'Why did I feel angry on seeing Ohm with someone else? Why did I act all frisky with him? Why do I always worry for him? Is it me or is it Pran?'

That night Ohm and Nanon both  kept thinking about the confusion 'Pran' brought for them and for their behaviours and feelings towards each other.
