From Something To Everything (Bounprem)

28. New York Fashion Week

Boun was taking part in the New York Fashion week along with many other world famous models. He was dressed up from head to toe in branded designer items. If Prem was there, he would have whistled at his hotness.

He was sitting in the VIP area watching young models display the semi years collections on the runway when the person next to him fainted.

The person was not a stranger to Boun. She was one of top Chinese models, Fu Xiaoman. A girl who had had once hooked up with.

Out of humane concern, Boun took her to the doctor. The doctor checked up on her and up her on a drip and asked her to rest.

Boun couldn’t leave her alone like that because her manager was already busy dealing with the organizers of the event regarding her absence.

Boun had a good impression of Fu Xiaoman. She was one of the most hardworking co worker he ever. They had a good work chemistry making it much easier for him to finish the shoot when he was with her.

Fu Xiaoman was also one the few women who didn’t cling on to him after sleeping with him.

The atmosphere between them was a bit odd in the beginning but got better after a while due to their extroverted characters.

Both of them caught up about the past year where they hadn’t met like old friends. They were quite comfortable with each other and talked till the drip was over.

Seeing that her manager was yet to return, Boun offered to give her a ride to her hotel.

During the ride, Fu Xiaoman told Boun that she was stressed over the fact that her parents were getting a divorce. She only got to know that they were only staying together for her sake. She had just turned nineteen and her parents finally decided to break it to her. As the only kid and someone who was greatly attached to both her parents, the news was too much to take in. she broke down in the car.

Boun ended up spending the night in the hotel with her, consoling the young girl, trying to make her understand that other than being her parents, they were also people who deserved to have their own lives.

He was too afraid to leave Fu Xiaoman alone as he felt that the girl might end up hurting herself if he did.

Boun could totally understand her feelings.

His parents were married as a part of a business deal between the two families. His father was ambitious man who cared about nothing more than his career and money. His mother too only cared about her family’s status. Neither of them was interested in carrying on the relationship. They have never tried to work out the marriage. They were like two strangers living under a roof.

Boun had often envied Ohm for having parents who loved each other. Whenever he saw Ohm’s parents (his aunt and uncle) behaving sweetly with each other and being understanding to one another, he wished that his parents could do the same.

Boun was the youngest of the three brothers. He was like an extra fitting in the whole family tree. His elder brothers Alan and Oreo took his father’s surname and he was made to take his mother’s as his mother was the only daughter of her parents.

Taking up his mother’s surname meant that he had to be the next head of that family and being the next head was not an easy task. He was forced to learn many things and was harshly punished when he did a single mistake. Life was like a jail to him whereas his own biological brothers lived a care free life.

Growing up, Alan was always given preferential treatment by his father, being his favorite son. Oreo was the silent type and never went against his father’s words unlike Boun.

Boun was the rebellious one among the three brothers causing him to be the target of dislike of his parents. He too wanted the freedom like his elder brothers.

As someone who had never really received parental love or care, Boun’s temper and habits became worse and worse by each day. He was pretty thankful to his aunt (Ohm’s mother) for providing him with maternal love he longed for and leading him into the right path. His admiration for the lady was one of the reasons why he chose being a model. His aunt, Ann was the first model he worked with alongside his cousin Ohm.

Boun was lost in his own thoughts that he didn’t even notice that it was already morning.

Fu Xiaoman’s manager arrived and he finally was free to go. They exchanged contact information before he headed back to his own hotel.

Bosston was furious when he found out that Boun was out all night. He gave Boun an earful thinking that the latter had gone partying or for a hookup last night.

It took him a lot of effort to convince Bosston that he was with Fu Xiaoman, taking care of her as she was sick. In the end he had to get help from her manager who acted as a witness to prevent Bosston from murdering him mercilessly.

He had even missed Prem’s call the previous night. He wanted to call Prem but when he checked the time it was already late night in Thailand. He decided to make a call after a few hours. The time zones were giving him a head ache.

In order to not provoke Bosston again, Boun behaved himself throughout the event. Bosston too was keeping a close watch on him making it difficult for him to have a chance to contact Prem.

Bosston was spitting fire everywhere whenever Boun tried to slip away. He was being really cautious this time given his previous experiences where Boun slipped away and was taken away by cops from some club he visited or when Boun got drunk and ended up sleeping with complete strangers who would stick on to him like a leech the next day.

Bosston wanted none of that anymore. He wanted to wind things up there and leave for Thailand to met his girlfriend and be by her side on her convocation ceremony.

This got Boun thinking when his boy’s ceremony was. He couldn’t ask the later as he was under Bosston’s surveillance twenty four seven.

Fu Xiaoman’s manager had contacted him on her artist’s behalf thanking him for taking care of her and asking for a collaboration. He passed the whole matter to Bosston to deal with.

The two managers came to an agreement that they would be collaborating together for an Asian brand.

Boun was more than willing to collaborate after he got to know that the shoot would be in Thailand, which meant that he might get chance to be with Prem if he could convince them to move the shoot to Chiang Mai.

Grinning at his own brilliant idea, Boun signed the contract with the company.
