"Are you sure about that? Oriel will never accept that" I asked again to Naomi. She rolled her eyes to me before showing her phone screen to me. The document stating that Star Production asking me to be the main lead to rudolfo's new project is seen in her phone. It also includes the list of co-actors i will play with and Oriel's name is emphasized in the said statement with a supporting clause of 'main lead, Kian's love interest' and the kian indicated there is the name of the character i asked to act.

"We haven't heard anything from their company yet but it is said that their company also wants to participate in Rudolfo's project.'' Naomi said. I helplessly sat on the couch. All of my energy got sucked out by the list of actors that will play a big role in the series.

"Is there any option besides Oriel?"

"None. Rudolfo specifically want you two to play the leading couple role" yes the series that i've been waiting for more than half year is a romance series of same sex. I am willing to accept it as I am open about this kind of topic, in fact I admitted that I am one of them but to be able to play it with Oriel? I suddenly hesitated. Me and Oriel are close to the fact that there are people who are shipping us and it may only be on my part, but it changes something to how I see things. I may not be in love with Oriel but I can't stop being flattered to small things he's doing for me. If ever we play in this series, I know that there will be a drastic change in our friendship. It may be good and it may be bad. nonetheless , both results are scary.

"Why don't you contact Oriel? Get his opinion about the series from himself " Naomi suggested. I look at her and when she doesn't back down from our staring contest I sighed deeply before looking down at my phone, indicating that I've agreed to her suggestion. She seems to get what I will do because she left without saying a word.

I dialed Oriel's number...

"Hmm?" he answered

"Where are you?"

"In my place. Why?" he sounds confused

"Wait for me there. I have something to tell you" I don't want to discuss this matter on call. I want to personally see his reaction regarding this matter.

"Okay. Please bring food too, I'm hungry"

"It's 1 in the afternoon, haven't you had your lunch yet?"

"Don't have an appetite" I rolled my eyes even though he couldn't see me.

"You! Give me a hour" he said okay so i quickly ended the call and get my things. I saw Naomi talking to a staff member. I just told her that I will be at Oriel's place and also asked her to wait for my text if we will agree on the contract or not. I stopped by at Oriel's favorite restaurant first before going to his house in an exclusive subdivision. The guard didn't even get my ID in the entrance as I have the sticker id of Oriel's house and they know me already because I am here maybe 3 times a week? I went inside immediately. I know his passcode so it is not hard for me to get in. I saw him in his living room comfortably laying on his couch while watching a korean series on his 98 inches television. I didn't greet him, instead, i went to his kitchen and start preparing the food that i've ordered.

"If i didn't hear something from my kitchen, i will probably won't notice you " I looked at the entrance of the kitchen and saw Oriel leaning on the side wall of the kitchen.

"You're too engrossed in watching some korean drama"

"Even though, you should have made your presence known. What if I suddenly attack you because I thought you're an invader?" he asked while coming near the table where I prepared all the food I'd ordered.

"You know I am going here. It's enough"

"What's with a serious face?" I look at him for a second before looking back again at what I am doing. I didn't answer him. Instead, I place a plate in front of him and add food on it. After placing food on his plate I sat down in front of him and started getting my own food.
