OabPlawan: Paradise Kiss

Note: It's going to be long so don't forget to take a break in between~ I didn't proofread it so sorry for the mistakes I made in advance.

PLAWAN

I sat in my bedroom, the weight of expectations from my parents pressing down on me like a suffocating blanket. My parents had always envisioned a future for me that involved prestigious universities and high-paying careers because it would make them proud, but I couldn't shake the feeling that something was missing. I longed for freedom, for a life where I could explore my own passions and desires without the constant scrutiny of others.

The only problem was, I didn't know what I wanted to do. I don't have a dream like others. I grew up letting my parents choose and focus on studying most of my life to make my parents proud of me and I forgot to choose something for myself.

One fateful day, as I wandered the bustling streets of Bangkok walking home, I stumbled upon a small boutique on the bottom of the stairs with a vibrant sign that read 'Paradise Kiss.' I had never seen it before, or maybe I was too busy looking at my notes to even notice anything. At the bottom of the stairs, I saw a door, it looked like a door that leads to a cafe and curiosity got me so I stepped inside, I didn't know from then on my life would never be the same.

There, amidst racks of avant-garde clothing, different colors of threads and ribbons, and just a place bustling with creative energy, I encountered a guy wearing round spectacles, listening to music while sewing something behind the sewing machine. "Oh? I'm sorry I thought this was a cafe. Please excuse me." He finally looked up and saw me, with a bright smile he stopped what he was doing and went up to me.

"Hey, welcome. I'm Kluea, are you the one that was scouted for our show?" He asks. He was like a ball of sunshine when he smiled at me with a lively attitude like he was just a kid. "I'm sorry, what? No, no, no, it's not me!" I immediately waved my hand to say no.

"Oh, who is this?" A guy asks walking out, to what might be, a storage room. He looked sharp and serious with a fashion sense of a guy who's part of a band while this Kluea guy wore something cute and flowery. "Oh, Auto~ Probably someone P'Oab scouted for our project," Kluea says which makes me frown, didn't he just hear what I said? "Project? It's no-" I said and he smiled at me so brightly that I was hesitating to reject him.

"We're from Bangkok Academy of Arts. We make clothes and this is our studio. We'll have our graduation fashion show next month and we're looking for a runway model to wear what we have made." Auto says as he stands next to Kluea. Me? A model? That's funny.

"I'm sorry but you must be mistaken, I'm not a model. I mistakenly entered your studio because I thought it was a cafe. I'm sorry to bother you but I have entrance exams to worry about. I'm going now." As I was about to go I bumped my back into someone who I didn't notice entered the room and was at my back and when I looked back I saw a man.

He was a tall man, taller than me. He had a clean look wearing a matching blackish-green blazer and pants with black heeled boots, a single earring on his ear, and a silver chain necklace. He looked simple but he looked sophisticated with a scary look. He didn't smile at all. "Who are you?" He asked with piercing eyes as he stared down at me. "Oab!" I didn't notice another guy behind what seemed to be a bar counter.

"We're trying to scout him for our fashion show phi," Kluea says, brighter than before. "Hmm, really?" He continued to stare at me, he didn't even blink at all. "I'm sorry, I have to go." I immediately walked out because I might faint if I stayed any longer. That man who they called 'Oab,' exuded an aura of confidence that immediately drew me in. Our eyes met, and at that moment, I felt a spark of something I couldn't quite define but somehow fear crept into me the more I looked at him.
