Ohm’s POV

After some time, I managed to calm him down, and when Mae visited, Leng’s face lit up with a smile again. Once she left, it was just Moonon and me. Moonon had been here constantly, and I could see the exhaustion on his face.

“Go get some fresh air and take a shower,” I told him. “You need to recharge a bit.”

Reluctantly, he nodded and left. With Moonon gone, it was just Leng and me in the room. (Don’t expect anything dramatic just yet.)

We started talking naturally, as if nothing had happened. But Leng couldn’t stop bringing up my career.

“You should work with Nanon. It’s more beneficial for you. And honestly, if you’re with Nanon, I shouldn’t be there,” he said, his voice tinged with hesitation.

I frowned. “First of all, Nanon is a singer now. He should focus on that and stop acting. And second, he’s not the only actor in the industry. I have my career under control. I’m capable, talented, and the best at what I do. If you think—”

“I never said you weren’t,” Leng interrupted, his eyes wide. “You’re my favorite actor. You’re insanely talented, and no one can doubt that.”

“Then why did you just imply my career depends on him?” I snapped.

“That’s not what I meant. Forget it. I can’t win against you in an argument anyway.”

I smirked. “Good decision.”

Moonon’s POV

When I returned, I saw Leng sitting quietly, tears rolling down his cheeks.

“What happened? Why are you crying, Leng?” I asked, alarmed.

“He said he won’t get a friend like me ever again,” Leng replied, his voice trembling.

“That’s true. You’re the best,” I said, trying to comfort him.

“No, you don’t understand. He called me a friend, Moonon. And I’ve been dreaming of something more for the past 11 years. I’m such a fool.”

My heart broke hearing this. This man was lying in a hospital bed, tubes attached to him, yet he was pining for someone who didn’t even realize his feelings.

But I couldn’t help but feel determined. Ohm had no idea how much Leng meant to him, but I’d make sure he figured it out.

“Captain Moonon, reporting for duty,” I muttered to myself.

After Two Days...
Ohm’s POV

“Leng will be discharged tomorrow. You can take him home,” the doctor informed me with a warm smile.

“Thank you, doctor,” I said, relief flooding my chest. Finally, Leng would be out of the hospital bed. I couldn’t wait to see him back to his usual self.

But then Moonon had to ruin the moment.

“Leng, you can stay with me for a few days,” Moonon said, grinning like an idiot. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of you like a princess—my babygirl, obviously!”

I almost choked on air. A wave of disgust and annoyance hit me all at once. “Eww, Moonon. What’s with that cringe-worthy language?”

Moonon just shrugged casually. “What? I’m just trying to win Leng’s heart, that’s all.”
