Ohm's POV:

Leng’s words hit me harder than anything else. The boy who gave his all to this series, the one who faced all the hate yet kept going, stood by me through my highs and lows, my support system, the reason my life felt meaningful—he just said something that hurt me so much. Was he only working on this series professionally, with no emotions? I was left speechless, struggling to understand why this was happening. My knees felt weak. I didn’t know what I was feeling, but I knew I had to talk to him right now.

“Leng, come here for a minute. I need to talk,” I called, but he avoided my gaze, something he hadn’t done in days.

“Leng, look at me and tell me what happened?”

“What? I just don’t want to work anymore. That’s it.”

His words were like a slap to my face. “Leng, please, tell me what happened. We can solve it. If we don’t talk, the misunderstanding will just grow. You know I can’t live without you. Kidnapping was the only option, I’d meet you every day… What’s with the resignation? Am I that bad? Am I that annoying? Are you leaving me too?”

“Stop, Ohm. You’re not supposed to do this. This isn’t right,” he said, his voice low.

“What’s not right? Begging? I’d do anything to keep you in my life. I’d even kill for you, Leng. Why are you doing this? Why are you acting like everyone who betrayed me? You’ve known me the longest. Please, Leng…”

“I’m not worthy of your begging, Ohm. Please stop. And you need to focus on your career. People will come and go, they’ll break your heart, use you like I did, but you need to stay strong. I’m not the one you should trust.”

“Stop with your bullshit, Leng. I know exactly who used me and who cared. I’m 24, and I’ve learned. You were the one who took all the hate for me, who stood by me, who made me a priority, ran to me in my hardest times, and became my family. Was that all just for work?”

“Yes.”

I froze. The firmness in his voice made everything clear. With those words, he left, not just physically, but emotionally as well.

No One’s POV:

As the Kidnap series was canceled, fans were desperate to know the reason. Interviewers took their chance and jumped at the opportunity. Ohm was furious with Leng—not just for leaving Kidnap, but because he was leaving GMM and breaking their friendship. Ohm was so hurt, it was obvious to anyone how miserable he was. He felt like his whole world had turned gray. Every moment he spent thinking about Leng broke him a little more, making him feel pathetic and crazy. But he was snapped back to reality by a question that insulted Leng’s identity. Ohm hadn’t figured out his feelings for Leng yet, but the bond they shared was unbreakable. Whatever happened, no one would dare speak ill of Leng in front of Ohm.

He answered all the questions sternly, defending Leng’s image. Ohm made it clear that without Leng, Kidnap wouldn’t be starring Ohm Pawat. After all that, his mind was consumed with one thought: Leng.

Leng’s POV:

At that moment, I felt like the most heartbroken person alive. My 11-year-long crush was crying in front of me, begging me to stay in his life. But because of one wrong decision, I had to leave Ohm. He was crying like a child whose mother had just left him. I felt useless—like I couldn’t even fulfill one simple wish of my crush. The wish to stay in his life. But God had other plans, and no one could go against them.

As I was thinking about this, Ohm asked me if everything I had done for him, all the feelings, emotions, and support, was just work. I wanted to say, “No, Ohm, I’ve loved you like a maniac for 11 years,” but all I could say was “Yes.” I said it sternly and walked past him, starting to cry like a fool. I didn’t deserve him. How could he be so pure, innocent, and lovable when everyone, including me, was taking advantage of him? How would he face the world again?

I started questioning myself—am I capable of standing by him? Am I deserving of his love and treatment? The answer was no. He deserved someone perfect for him, someone just as amazing as he was. I was just a puppet in this whole story. Not him. And no one realized that.
