twenty-eight

It would be a big day for Ohm. Good news was that he finally could make a public announcement of his apology on the bully issue although he was quite confused as to why he needed to explain it to the public again. He apologized on his social media especially Instagram regarding that matter and he couldn't see why the public still demanded an apology for the things he did in the past and involved other person as a victim.

Nevertheless, to save his reputation once and for all, he needed to do it. The management wanted him to do it publicly so people would see and later would quit questioning his public apology.

Although, it was supposed to be the My Precious Premiere today, the managers of the artists involved had informed the rest of them that Ohm would be making his clarification on the issue that had been dragging for a few months now.

Before they arrived at the mall, Ohm and Nanon were told to keep things lowkey and not to show too many interactions between themselves so as not to divert the center of the attention that was the main couple, Nanon and Film.

Though, what they actually had seen on the crowd were banners and arts created by OhmNanon fans. They were here to support both of the actors that was one time, a pair of a hit series in Thailand.

It was quite a time when Nanon used to go to premieres to promote a straight romance movie and this was supposed to be his time to shine as a male alpha but somehow, he didn't seem like it.

He wasn't smiling wide like how he was supposed to and he didn't pretty much enjoying the event especially knowing how tough it must had been for his best friend right now. He kept on looking at Ohm, observing the older's next move and the microexpressions Ohm made throughout the interview.

He wanted to stand beside Ohm and hold his hand. He wanted to push away all the microphones and interviewers from shoving Ohm's face with their abnormal questions and sarcastic remarks. Nanon hated this more than Ohm.

He was forbade from talking to his own best friend and he was sure, everyone could notice the way they were so cold to each other by not interacting and taking group pictures when everyone in the cast did. Everytime Nanon was in the picture, Ohm would stay away and acted like he was distracted of something else.

Chimon, who was a part of the trio felt the tension between the two and he was sorry for himself that he couldn't do anything about it if he wanted to. Ohm and Nanon now, was more than just what it seemed to be on the surface and he couldn't meddle into it as he pleased. Only time would tell.

Only when they finally got in the car to leave the event, Nanon got his chance to speak, "Pheuan..."

Ohm was sitting right across him in the van but his body language seemed to struggle a bit. He didn't even look at Nanon as he was facing the window.

"Hey, Ohm..." Due to Nanon's touch, Ohm could finally hear his name being called.

"Yeah?"

"You're okay?"

Ohm quickly nodded with his eyes looking down. He didn't know what to say as his throat felt dry and at loss for words. His mind was draining and he could feel his knees shaking.

Nanon only stared at Ohm attentively with his hand on the older's lap. He then noticed a quick tear fell from Ohm's cheek that was later swept by his own fingers, hoping that Nanon wouldn't notice.

"I don't know what else to say..." Ohm's lips were shivering and his eyes turned red with a pool of tears ready to fall.

Nanon's reflexes quickly gave his friend the comfort he needed and assured him many times that he did okay. That he did not need to worry.
