Always Giving In To You (NetJames Fanfic)

4 - Avoid

CHAPTER 4

Dunk woke me up to invite me for brunch. Joong decided to drive me to work later at 12pm. He also lent me his clothes. I couldn't be thankful enough.

I arrived at the company at 1pm and when I went out to Joongs car I saw Net's car and he went out. I thanked Joong and walked inside the company. I looked at Net and greeted him.

"Good Afternoon Phi" I smiled.

"Good Afternoon James" he replied.

I walked faster and went to the elevator. He stood beside me while waiting for the lift to come down. When the elevator opened he went inside but I didn't and walked outside instead. I decided to buy my favorite Orange Coffee. After buying it, I went inside, and greeted all the people inside the waiting room. They immediately took care of me.

Yim arrived and went to me, I just finished with my hair and makeup. I sat down on the sofa opposite to where Net is sitting.

"Hey Phi! Why didn't you answer my calls last night? I've been calling you cuz P'Net kept pestering me." I looked at Net and he's looking at me with hooded eyes. I looked away and faced Yim,

"Sorry I didn't use my phone last night, I'm accompanying Joong last night." I lied, more like Joong and Dunk accompanied me.

"Oii! You're with him again last night? And wait, this outfit you are wearing today isn't your style, Is this Joong's?" Yim's eyes got bigger with his realization, I rolled my eyes.

"So you slept with him last night?" he exclaimed. People inside the room heard it! I softly slapped his mouth. I apologized to them for Yim's vulgarity.

We heard a loud bang, and looked at the door. It's Net who just went out. I don't care!

"Shut up Yim!! you're making stories again!" I hushed him.

"So P'Net really has no chance on you huh?" he whispered

"What are you talking about?" I'm confused . Yim is really weird,

"I think P'Net likes you but you like Joong. What a messy life you got." I stopped at what he said. I don't believe him.

There's no way Net likes me, he just made it clear that what we're doing is all just an act. So nope. I need to focus on our career.

We started filming and we did great. I did my job properly and avoided Net as much as I could. I always catch him looking at me though. Or am I just always looking at him too? My Gosh I need to stop all these feelings, it's not good for our career. It's already 9pm and we're still filming. We rested for a bit. I went to my seat and got my phone and read the text from Dunk, cheering me up and wishing me a good night's sleep. I smiled at how sweet Dunk is, that's why Joong is so fckin in love, haha. I replied to him and we resumed filming. We finished filming at 12am. It's been a long day, I'm so tired. We went back to get our things. Net approached me.

"James, I'll drive you home. It's midnight already.'' I smiled at him but declined his kind offer.

"Thank you Phi. But I don't want to. Good bye then '' I answered and left immediately.

I went to Yim and asked him to drive me home since his condo is just near mine. He agreed immediately.

Days passed by and I'm still avoiding Net. Our managers noticed it. P'Aof called for a meeting.

It's Sunday and I'm supposed to be going home to my family but I can't. We went to the conference room. P'Aof, P'ker , P'Net and me.

"So boys, what's this rumor i'm hearing that you are not in good terms?" P'Aof asked directly to the point

I looked at Net and wait if he'll talk but he kept mum. So I decided to talk.

"There's nothing wrong Phi '' I answered. P'Aof looked straight into my eyes and asked again.

"Tell me your problem so we can settle it immediately. You boys should get along, you are partners and are filming your first series and it will be aired next year. Be responsible, this is for you and your career," P'Aof said to us.

We both nodded.

"We're just being professional Phi, we are doing our job properly. And really there's nothing wrong with us,"

The meeting lasted for an hour. After the meeting I hurriedly went out but Net caught my arms.

"Where are you headed?" he asked.

"I've got to meet someone" I replied boringly.

"Are you meeting with Joong again?" he asked, a little annoyed. I wanna slap his hand, how dare him say to not interfere with each others personal life but here he is interrogating me

"Sorry phi, I need to go, I don't have time with you, Bye!" I immediately leave.

I'm meeting with my sister now, we're at a cafe. I missed her so much, I told her everything that happened in my life these past weeks.

"Well Hia, I have had a hunch about your feelings for P'Net for a long time. I just don't want to pressure you by pointing it out to you and for a moment I thought that P'Net also liked you. Did he really say to you that all he's been doing is just an act? Did that words really came out from his mouth or you just assume things?" Yok asked me seriously.

I stopped and thought about that time we argued.

"See? He didn't say it right? For me, you two should talk again when you're both calm. You should not let your anger win your emotions. If you are both angry you will just make the situation worse. Give time for yourselves to think and then if you're both calm, ask him again to talk. This is a serious matter. You are partners and you will continue to work together for a long time. Settle it." Yok suggested which I agreed. For the meantime I'll still keep my distance with him, maybe my emotions are eating me. I should take my time to think and relax.

"Thank you so much Yok! This is why I love you so much!" I hugged her and kissed her head.

We continued eating and chatting. Time passes by quickly if you are having a good time. Boat, Yok's faen fetched us and then they drove me to my condo. I slept that night with a calm mind and heart.

The next few days we got busy filming and everything went well. I still avoided Net but when I caught him looking at me I would just smile. This is all very hard because we are always together during filming and we have the same waiting room. Next week I'll try to talk to him again.

Friday night I was scrolling on twitter and I passed by a tweet, it's a stolen photo of Net and a girl. They're dining in a restaurant based on the background. Some fans are overstepping the boundary; it's not good. This is his private life. But who's the girl he's with? I don't know her. Here I am again getting jealous even though I have no right. I should learn to control my emotions. It's normal for us to have romantic relationships with other people but it's a bit risky for our careers.

I scrolled more and saw tweets of some of our fans. They are concerned and they also noticed that there's something going on with Net and me. Our fans are truly detectives, I'm always amazed. I want to sleep early but I can't help thinking about that stolen shot. Is that girl Net's faen? I have the right to know right coz I am his partner in work. We have to film again tomorrow and Sunday is a rest day. I need to sleep early.

I woke up and prepared to go to work. When I arrived they helped me prepare. Other casts arrived, Net arrived lastly he was teased by everyone that he got late because of his date last night which he didn't disagree with. So maybe that girl is really his faen huh? I should not let my possessive self take over. I joined their teasing and acted like i'm not hurt or I didn't care. But my inner self is crying , my heart is breaking.

I went to the restroom and let myself cry a bit. I need to focus and do my best to not let this affect the filming today. Someone knocked on the door, I quickly dried my tears and opened the door. It was Net and he stared at me for a moment. I greeted him and went away immediately.

We finished filming at around 10pm. Net asked me if he could drive me home but I declined immediately. I'm still not ready to talk to him, my jealousy is still there. I need to calm down first. After declining him he looked hurt. His eyes, I can't forget the sadness in his eyes. I'm laying on my bed already but I'm still thinking about Net's sad eyes. Tomorrow I'll call him or visit his house to talk. I can't take this anymore.
