3rd person POV
Kao was getting worried, what's gonna happen? He didn't want Pete to give up on his dream just like that. Pete loved acting, loved doing his job. Why sexuality matters? Okay maybe it's still not legal the same sex marriage In Thailand, but honestly how long they could hide it, forever ?
while thinking all of this kao couldn't concentrate on what he was doing in the laptop. suddenly his phone light up with vibration telling him there that there was a notification. Kao took the phone which was beside the laptop, slide to unlock and saw sandee sent somthing from twitter in which she said "see, you've got a lot fans supporting you here :-)."
he opened and saw some people create a page called "Polca" he didn't quite understand what does polca mean, but then he looked at the bio which say "Here to support our polar bear (Kao) and our orca (Pete)." Kao smiled at that as he found the name cute.
he saw a lot of people commenting nice words, even some artiste had written some nice words. like "we are always with you" "stay strong". seeing that made kao a little happy that there still some people who support them
Pete was on his way to the agency, He has meetings with the CEO. As they gonna discuss about his works and the situation that is going on.
Once he opened the door of the meeting room, he saw his manger, Alice the CEO and some staff. He politely greeted them, and went to sit to an empty chair which was beside Alice.
"How are you Pete?" Asked Alice with a smile.
"I'm good phi." He said as he smiled back.
"So Pete, you probably know why we held this meeting right?" She asked.
"Yes Phi." He answered nervously.
"With your manager, We made some decisions. So we decided for a few weeks we're gonna cancel all your schedule." She said as she was flipping through some files. "We've contacted everyone, for now everything will be delayed."
Pete expected something like that to happen. He only nodded and didn't say anything.
"Look Pete, it's for your own good. I think you need to take some break from everything that is going on." She said looking at him concerned.
"And about the situation, I just wanted to let you know that I'm not against it Pete. We will not fire you. And we're never gonna fire someone because of their sexuality. You're still the same Pete for us. The Pete who worked hard, loved doing every single things no matter if it's small or big." She said with assured smile. "If peoples have problems with this, don't worry we'll deal with it."
As a CEO Alice cared for her every single artiste, she is just like friends. Always there to support them. And Pete really respect her for that.
"Thank you Phi for your understanding." Pete smiled back.
"But I decided... I want to resign." He said as he slowly put forward the envelope written 'Resignation'
"But why Pete?" She asked confused.
"I understand it's not easy for both of you. But you can't give up your carrier because of that." She said as she patted Pete shoulder.
"But I don't want Kao to get hurt because of me Phi. After the news it has been hard for him. Getting mistreated from fans. Paparazzi showing up everywhere and all, I don't want that." Said Pete.
"I know, I have seen the video. Fans sometimes just cross their limits." She said quite frustrated. "The words 'respect ' doesn't exist for them I think. And about the paparazzi, we set up a press conference for tomorrow afternoon. You can tell the world's about your relationship. You can explain everything." She said. "You can also bring your husband if you want." She said with smile.

The next day was the conference. After setting up everything, Reporters were all at the conference hall, waiting for Pete to arrive.
Here at the company once they arrived, Kao and Pete get ready and their make up done. It was whole new experience for Kao. Honestly he was quite nervous for the conference. He just hoped everything to go well.
Before entering the hall both looked at each other and smiled, Pete noticed Kao nervousness. "It's gonna be fine." Assured Pete as he hold Kao's hands.
Once they both went up on a stage, Cameras started flashing from everywhere. Both greeted everyone politely and introduced themselves.
"Hello everyone, I'm Pete vihokratana and here beside me is my husband Kao vihokratana."
Pete and Kao sat beside Alice and Pete's manager.
"Okay let's get started." Said Alice to the reporters.
