The Last String

8

The shoot ended later than they thought. But the tension between Jake and Noon was still there.

Everyone is walking on eggshells since Jake is a walking ticking bomb and who knows what he can do next if he explodes.

Bur one thing is odd, much to everyone's surprise.

No matter how pissed off Jake was, it was evident that he was keeping it inside and it was unusual for him to not lash out on his assistant, which is Noon.

There is a small gala that Jake needs to attend. And even with the chaotic schedule he has, he forcefully let himself out of the van with a fake smile.

They were on the way to his designated dressing room when they came across someone who Jake wanted to see the least.

Jake rolls his eyes in disgust as the singer smiles at him cheerfully.

"Act professional, were in a public space" the singer whispers in Jake's ear.

"I'm sorry but I don't act all friendly with a traitor" Jake whispers back.

The singer looks behind Jake and sees a Noon.

"New face huh, such a pretty boy" The singer says as he walks past Jake and approaches Noon who was confused and shocked at the same time.

"My name's Blue, I believe you knew that" he offers a handshake which Noon gladly accepts.

"Can you mind your own business?" Jake scoffs.

"I am minding my own business" Blue responds and smiles at Noon.

"It will be a loss if he lets you go. But in case that happens, which eventually will. Don't hesitate to come to me" His curly neck-length hair bounces as he tilts his head to wink playfully.

"I'll treat you better" he assures Noon.

"You always get your hands on my belongings, when will you learn to earn your keep instead of recycling everything I throw away" Jake warns him.

"You always throw the good ones away, I'm just being a good person"

"Yeah, and I should be the first one to receive the news when you build a darn charity for everything you pick up from me" Jake sarcastically says before he gestures to everyone to keep going without bidding goodbye to his fellow singer.

There was a knock on the door just a few minutes after everyone entered the dressing room. Dhan and Ham went out as soon as they to pick up the stylist. Pay didn't even come in because she had to instruct the fans waiting outside.

It was just Noon, Kit and Jake in the room. And as soon as Kit opens the door, a woman, whom Noon assumes to be an actress or so enters the room.

Her black wavy hair compliments her pale skin and even with a very tight gown she was wearing, it did not stop her from going straight on hugging Jake from behind.

"I miss you, don't you miss me?" She chuckles as she let go of Jake.

Noon hears Kit's phone ringing and he nodded as Kit gestures him he needs to go out to answer the phone.

Awkard

It was the only thing that came to Noon's mind as he tries not mind the other people inside the room.

Well, it wasn't until he feels something wrong. His head feels heavy, and he suddenly felt nauseous.

He coughs a couple times, trying to keep himself steady. But his vision is blurring and his body is quickly giving up.

The dizziness is overcoming his whole sense and maybe it also caused him hallucinations.

"Get out! I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT!" was the last thing he heard or maybe he was really hallucinating when he saw a worried Jake trying to keep him conscious before he blacked out.

"NOON! NOON!" it was so loud that Kit didn't hesitate to hang up the call and rushed inside Jake's dressing room.

Noon was lying there, conscious but he doesn't look like he's conscious about what was happening.

Ina, their former talent and Jake's close friend was there trying to understand what was happening.

Jake was trying to think what could possibly had happened when suddenly he looked at Ina in shock.

"Your perfume! Get out!" He tells her which caught the actress off guard.

"My perfume why?" She asks in a puzzled face.

"GET OUT! I SAID GET THE FUCK OUT!" Jake shouts at her and even though the actress was clueless about what was happening, she quickly got out as soon as possible.

"What on earth happened?" Kit asks as he helps Jake carry Noon to the couch.

"I forgot he was sensitive with perfumes, Ina was wearing a strong one" Jake explains.

Kit looks at him in amusement.
"Is that why you suddenly stopped wearing perfume? And you kept telling us not to wear perfume? Because you knew Noon was sensitive to the smell?" Jake just looks at Kit and nods slowly.

Now another question has been answered for him.
