Transcending To You

Chapter 20: DATE NINE

The days were getting hectic for Bright and Win. Bright was busy with both his agency work and studies, while Win got caught up in acting classes and his own academic pursuits. Every morning, they would rush to college together. In the evenings, Bright would head to his acting sessions for the drama he was involved in, and Win would hurry off to his own acting classes.

By the time they reached home, they were completely drained.

One day, Win came home early and waited for Bright to arrive. When Bright finally walked in, Win saw the exhaustion on his face. But as soon as Bright saw Win, he smiled.

"How was your day?" Bright asked.

"It was good," Win replied. "But I missed you a lot." He added, stepping forward to hug Bright.

"What is it?" Bright asked, hugging Win tightly.

"We are extremely busy. What about our fall trip? Halloween is also around the corner; did you decide what we would wear?"

"Yeah, I am sorry. I have a lot on my plate," Bright responded, caressing Win. "We shall plan a one-day trip this weekend."

Win nodded. "What about you? What's going on? How are the acting sessions going?"

"Well, it's fine. There's a lot of work going on, like finding the right production team. Luckily, this story is mostly set in one place, so the budget won't be very high. Also, only a few actors are needed. Mostly, they will select the female actor and I need to see if the chemistry fits," Bright informed Win.

"Yeah, that is important," Win said.

"I also practiced a love scene today, like I had to stop the girl from leaving me. The instructor said I nailed it," Win added, smiling.

"Really?" Bright said, bringing Win in front of him. "Would you like to act it out in front of me?"

Win nodded. "Alright!"

They stood face to face, and Bright said, "Action."

Win looked at Bright, his eyes filled with sorrow. "Okay, you want to leave me, I understand. But at least tell me the reason? Can't you tell me why you would do that?"

Bright received Win's emotion and carried on, "You should ask yourself. What was I actually in your life? All I was doing was waiting for you."

"But whatever I've been working on was for both of us, for our future," Win said, holding Bright's hand. "As much time as I could find, I gave it to you."

"I really do not want to live like this. For the future, you seem to forget we have a present, and now I want to move on. I like someone else who is emotionally available for me," Bright added.

"Please! I am sorry if I have hurt you. But do not leave me," Win said and began to sob.

Bright looked at Win's acting, and his body shivered.

"You are really good. How?" Bright spoke in an unbelievable voice.

Win wiped his tears and smiled. "Right? The acting teacher said the same, that I am natural."

"Yeah, so good," Bright spoke and hugged Win.

"So, shall I try in your agency?" Win asked.

"Well, you can. I can talk to Barbara tomorrow about it," Bright replied.

Win nodded. "Also, we are wearing Spider-Man costumes for Halloween," he added.

"No way, I am not wearing any masks that I can't breathe in," Bright chuckled.

"Why not? We could be like Spider-Man from the multiverse," Win responded, smiling brightly.

"Think of something else," Bright said, holding Win's cheeks gently.
