bright, the journal

Meera

--08:45 AM / October 27, 2025--

i was late for the meeting, why am I always late for everything important?

my maid had left half an hour ago and i was supposed to leave at same time.

today was my first meeting with all my seniors and the thailand president, and I am late... can you believe it?

but getting adjusted in thailand is really harder than i think, thank the gods that i know thai or else it would have been a lot harder.
my senior is going to kill me and on that happy thought i rushed out of my building.

'thud' I stumbled into someone and my papers slipped out my hand.
"I am so sorry" i said in english massaging my shoulder then repeated in Thailand.

how can i be late and clumsy on a day like this??

The man i stumbled into was wearing a mask clearly trying to hide face, he didn't even looked up just nodded and left.

Is he a thief? was my first thought but i dismissed it quickly.
this building is highly secured, even some celebrity lives here so it was slightly difficult to steal here.

I glanced back at him while picking up my papers, his hair looked so similar to my favourite artist that i had the sudden urge to text bright that i met someone like him.

I mentally slapped myself, i mean seriously meera? i got up and walked out.

I saw the my driver waiting in front of building for me, there are sure perks of being a diplomat.

"can you drive fast?" i asked my driver, he is in his early twenties, and his english accent is so sweet that it automatically lifts my day up whenever he talks in english.

"how many Minutes?" he raised his left eyebrow as if asking, are you challanging me?

i chuckled and sighed "that's the reason i like you."

--11:30pm / October 27, 2025--

When I came back I was so exhausted and only the absurd amout of coffee i had drank was holding me together.

Being a diplomat is no fun, the meeting started at 10:00am and dragged on forever, the president came just for half an hour and i was stuck with my seniors.

My senior is just so strict that sometimes i wish i had given another country instead.

I dragged myself inside the lift and pressed the 7 button twice, there are just two apartments on my floor and I haven't seen my neighbour yet.

i know for a fact that he is a singer, so meeting him is quite the improbable and if i ever saw him i am instructed to not disclose his whereabouts.

right to privacy.

I get it, though, being an idol is hard and if thailand is anything like k-pop, i pity for these guys.

The lift's 'ding' brought me back to reality and i stepped into my floor, sighing heavily.

There are big clear windows at the right side which shows a perfect view for the area and thailand looks great, specially in night.

i smiled slightly and muttered, " atleast your dream is finally your reality" and walked left towards my apartment.

I bumped into someone, AGAIN but this time didn't dropped my papers.
wait that's the same person, but without the mask...

there was a loud thud of my papers falling from my hand but i didn't even gave it a single thought because infront of me was the Bright Vc itself, THE BRIGHT VC???

I Slapped myself hard on the cheek, the sound came lot louder than expected which made bright flinch.

wait does that mean it's all real?
am i this lucky??
i prayed for this moment daily for last 5 years and it is happening.

we started at eachother for couple of seconds before bright started to move again and i came to my senses.

"wait.. bright" i stumbled with my phone for minute, "Can I get a picture? I am your biggest fan, maybe not the biggest but well on top 10, i have followed you for YEARS... i came to thailand for you, do you live here?" i pointed at apartment no. 702, he looked back to his right "because i live right across you." i pointed at my apartment.

he just nodded and smiled, "you know you used to be my journal?" i told him, he blinked and stared at me so i explain at bit, "i used to text you alot on Instagram message request but you never saw it i guess."

he stared blankly at me, "I mean ofcourse you didn't, you are a celebrity and you gave so many things to do, you used to be tried all the time from the work.
i even learned thai for you... oh I'm so pleased i finally met you." i beemed at him

oh god what am i doing? get a hold of yourself i shouted mentally in my brain

"sorry" i smiled sheepishly and took the photo.

bright looked still in shock with my outright brust, honestly who can blame him? i felt embarassed in myself.

"I'll leave now." i chuckled embarrassingly.

i was almost infront of my apartment when i heard his voice, "wait"

there is something about hearing his voice in real life that made me wanted to melt myself.

i looked back at him saw him coming towards me, his black hairs were a mess as if he just stumbled out of bed, maybe he had - who knows how tiring is to be an idol.

"you forget this!" he lifted his hand.

"ofcourse i did" i muttered under my breath, "look at the effect you have on me."

He gave me a half smile making me shiver.

oh god, why?????

To him it might be amusing but he does not know the effect that smile has on me, this smile is the reason i first started T2gether series.

"Thank you."

"that's win apartment, i do not live here" he handed me my paper and i just had the time to nod before he left hurriedly.
After he left i realised we were talking in thai, not english.

wait, he looked like as if he just stumbled out of bed and that's win apartment, something doesn't add up.

but they have my blessings no matter what.
