Autumn is a second spring

66. Spin off

"P' Grace!" Boun called out excitedly as he went over to hug the older woman. "Swadee Khrab, Phi!"

"Swadee Ja," The older woman hugged him back with a big smile and the obvious adoration.

"Swadee Khrab, Phi " Ohm was a step behind Boun.

"Swadee," She smiled at his lack of enthusiasm. She wasn't a stranger to it. "Even Fluke couldn't change you much, could he?" The young man before her was as restrained as ever.

Ohm only smiled in reply. If his boyfriend had been here the little guy would have been more enthusiastic than Boun to greet her.

Grace was the scriptwriter of their first BL series, You Are My Blue. She had become a famous and in-demand scriptwriter after the success of the series.

All her works had been successes. Thus, she believed that the Quadro were her lucky charm as they were the ones who kickstarted her career. She adored them so much.

She had been a die-hard of Ohm in the past and had written the series just for him. It was her own luck that she managed to stumble upon the Quadro and hit it big.

"Why did you want to meet us, phi?" Ohm directly got to business, while Boun rolled his eyes.

"You will know," Grace smiled mysteriously. "Let's sit down and talk." She pushed open the door to the conference room and gestured for the cousins to enter.

When Ohm and Boun entered the room, they saw that a few people were waiting for them inside, including Yacht. It seemed like a formal meeting.

They recognized the rest of them as the crew behind You Are My Blue. They waied at everyone and took the empty seats.

"Since all of us are here, shall we start the meeting?" Yacht suggested. "The agenda of the meeting today is discussing the matter of making a sequel of You Are My Blue."

"A sequel?" Ohm frowned. 

Two years back, when You Are My Blue was being aired there was a lot of discussion about wanting a sequel for the series. Given the issues the series had to face during that time the idea of producing a sequel was put on hold. 

"Actually, Ohm, it is me who suggested that we make a sequel to Grace." Yacht interjected.

Back then, he had been Ohm's manager. He knew better than anyone else how the series alone had propelled the four artist's career. The leap was incredible.

After the series, their careers were successful but had become somewhat stagnant in the past one year. As the faces of the company, it was necessary for Yacht to make sure that the popularity of the four artists kept rising.

"Ohm, please hear us out before you object," Grace begged. She was pretty confident in her work and knew that she could make Ohm give her a green signal.

"I wasn't planning to object. Please go ahead," Ohm nodded.

Grace smiled at him. "According to our plan, the story will be centralized around Fiat and Tin. Day and Sky would be the side characters."

"Does that mean that it would no longer be a mystery genre?" Ohm inferred from Grace's words.

Fiat and Tin were the characters played by Boun and Prem while Day and Sky were played by Ohm and Fluke. In You Are My Blue the storyline had concentrated on the mysterious family backgrounds of Day and Sky, who were the main leads of the story. Day and Sky fall in love while solving those mysteries, which gives the story a fluffy touch, despite its twisted nature.

"Yes. It would be more of a trauma and healing drama than the mysterious plot," Grace answered. "I have finished the rough script and brought it with me. Please, everyone, take a look."

She passed the copies of the rough script to everyone.

"Phi, we would like to read it in detail. I don't think we can finish reading it in this meeting," Boun looked at the script and then at Grace

"I know, Nong. I was about to give you all a briefing on the story," Grace said, gaining everyone's attention. "So, the script, which I have named Papercuts, starts with Sky who is a boy from a single-parent family who develops traumas after..." She started explaining the storyline.

The meeting ended after two hours, and everyone had dispersed. 

"Are you not happy with the script?" Yacht as he followed Ohm to his office.

"No, it's not that, phi. But I do have my concerns." Ohm opened the mini fridge inside his office and grabbed a drink for each of them.

"Are you worried about more scandals?" Boun took a drink from Ohm.

"No, it's not about the scandal, but about the cast." Ohm slumped on the couch in the lounging area of his office.

"Cast?" Boun and Yacht exchanged glances. "What's the problem with the cast? Isn't it just us?"

"That's exactly the problem." Ohm sighed. "Let me explain. Let's start with Prem. He joined back on the national team! His time for all the artist work is limited now and as far as I know, his schedule for the season is filled to the brim. The few days off he had will be used for the Paris trip."

"About the Paris trip, have to contacted Merlin yet?" Yacht asked Boun.

"We did," Boun nodded. "She is really excited about our visit."

"That's good to hear." 

"She also hopes that Lyra and Leah could come as well" Boun had been meaning to discuss that later but decided to bring it up since Yacht asked.

"Well, about that, I need to discuss it with Oreo and the girls. Even if Oreo says yes, if the girls don't want to meet their mom, then it would be a no." Yacht shrugged and turned to Ohm. "Wouldn't he be free after the season?"

"Then it would be the time for his tournaments. He will be having training, and he will be out. And then, I heard him talk about playing indoor tennis and outdoor tennis. Something like that. It would be difficult for him to find enough time to film a seventeen-episode series." Ohm pointed out.

"That's true. Then we will have to cut short the script." Yacht agreed. He was sure that Grace would throw a tantrum if he asked her to shorten the script. The script was like a baby to her.

"It's not just Prem. By the time he would be available, he won't be available." Ohm pointed at Boun. "It would be the time for coronation, and he would be busy. Once the coronation happens, he would be busier."

Yacht pressed his lips and looked at Boun, who had completely forgotten about the coronation. 

"Plus, Fluke. Dura just debuted and he wants to concentrate on making music. Both for them and for himself." Ohm added.

Dura was the new girl group that was launched by SZ Entertainment under Fluke's care. He had selected each member and trained them to perfection before the debut. He couldn't back off just like that.

"Does that mean that out of you four, only you are available?" Yacht asked Ohm.

"Conclusively speaking, yes. I am the only one who seems to have a free schedule." Ohm answered.
