Behind the Curtains: A Tale of Hidden Emotions

Chapter 17

"Finally!”

“What took you guys so long to realize that? You know, from the very beginning, I was your number one shipper. Even your fans gave me a nickname as the leader of your fan club, which, by the way, I was. I've been friends with Faye long enough to know her preferences and personality, and believe it or not, Yoko, the moment you stepped into that audition room, I knew exactly where this was going. Maybe you didn't notice it, but I was watching Faye’s reaction the whole time you were singing shyly in front of us. I had never seen her so interested and hooked on someone. I was so happy for you guys!”

I couldn't move a muscle after hearing what P'wanwan said. I was left there, jaw dropped, as she jumped around like a kid bursting with happiness after getting her treat. It was beyond my expectation that she would act this way after hearing the news about us.

Faye and I were both nervous on our way here, thinking of the worst scenarios regarding how P'wanwan might react to the current state of our relationship. But this was far different from what we had expected.

Way different.

We are currently at the venue for the last shoot of season 2. I felt a mix of joy and sadness, knowing that our show would end soon. But I had to accept that every good thing comes to an end. It was hard to let go of a character that had helped me grow in so many different ways. This project also allowed me to meet beautiful people and, of course, the love of my life.

I will forever thank God for giving me this kind of experience and the opportunity to showcase my talent to the world.

I watched Faye from afar, talking to a staff member and smiling. As I was roaming around the place I came to a realization that we were really surrounded by so many good people who treated us more than just colleagues—we were like a family, a big happy family.

"Okay, guys, standby! Cue... Light! Camera! Action!"

I heard Director George call out before the door opened. I was lying in bed, waiting for my cue. This was a scene where it was Faye's birthday, and I had run away from my father's gathering with my long lost grandparents.

After hearing the door creak, I heard loud footsteps coming my way. 'That's my cue.'

I jolted out of bed, acting shocked. Faye rushed to me and hugged me tightly. “Thank God you're safe!" She exclaimed. " I was so worried about you. How did you get here?” she asked, worriedly.

“I got the key from under the pot. You're so easy to read,” I said, smiling proudly at her.

“I was so worried about you,” she said, almost crying.

“If you missed me that much, why didn't you call me?” I asked, pouting. I sulkingly bump arms on her while giving her a puppy look.

Her brow furrowed at my words. “I called you so many times, but you didn't pick up your phone.”

“Hehe, I forgot I turned it off earlier.”

“Please don't do that again. I was so worried about you, Neung.” I could feel every emotion as she delivered that line. It was really heartfelt. I couldn't be more proud of her.

I detached myself from her, still pouting. “I'm not a kid, Ar'neung! I already know how to go back and forth to Bangkok—” She cut me off by pulling me gently and giving me a warning look.

“A'neung.” I smiled and looked intently at her.

“What?”

“Nothing... I just wanted to wish you a happy birthday.” I gave her the most sensual look I could muster.
