MY Pink Love

Chapter 5 First Day of the Shoot

"Is everyone ready?" Wansetthi, the ceremony organizer, walked into the lounge to check on the crew and actors.

"I'm ready," Pheera, the leading man who had just finished getting dressed in a navy suit and styled his hair, stood up from the other corner of the lounge to respond immediately.

"Okay, everyone, please wait outside. Once the pre-shooting ceremony is done and everything is set, we'll start shooting the first scene this afternoon," Wansetthi said, scanning the room for someone. She couldn't help but smile when she saw that person still leaning back on the sofa, eyes closed, undisturbed by the chatter around.

"Has she been asleep for long?" She asked, not directing the question to anyone in particular.

"Since she got here, Ms. Wan," Nadon, who was sitting nearby, answered.

"That's fine. Everyone, please head outside; the ceremony is about to start," Wansetthi instructed, partly because she wanted to wake the sleepyhead and find some alone time with her secret crush.

Once everyone had left, the sweet-faced executive walked over and sat next to the still-sleeping person. She couldn't resist brushing aside a stray lock of hair from the beautifully made-up face and gently caressing it.

"Why are you this sleepy, hmm?" She asked softly, causing the person to slowly open their eyes at the familiar voice.

"Wait, P' Deal, I forgot my phone. I'll go get it and catch up with you," Prawfha suddenly remembered what she'd forgotten and told her manager.

"Okay, hurry up and come back," the manager waved her off without much concern.

If he'd been a bit more perceptive, he might've realized that Prawfha wasn't the type to forget things, especially her own belongings.

The leading lady, who intentionally left her phone behind, quickly turned back because of the look Wansetthi gave Ninlada. It was more than just an employer-employee gaze; it seemed off to her. Knowing how Ninlada felt about her only fueled her curiosity. She had to see for herself, and what she saw made her legs weak—the two women were about to kiss.

"No way!" Prawfha exclaimed, turning away and leaning against the wall, unable to watch the intimate scene.

Thud

"Ah!" But before she could leave, she tripped over a fallen plant pot, making a loud noise, just like in a drama.

"Don't... P' Wan." Ninlada quickly pushed the executive away as she woke up from the noise. She was confused by the executive's actions, waking up to find someone so close to her face. She wasn't a naive child not to know what the other person intended.

"Who is that?" Wansetthi tried to maintain her composure as she turned toward the source of the noise, worried about being caught in an easy-to-be-miunderstood situation.

"It's me, Praw. I forgot my phone," Prawfha revealed herself, though she could've just walked away. But why did she want Ninlada to know she'd seen their secret interaction?

"Oh, it's you." Wansetthi was relieved but also embarrassed. But at least she could be sure Prawfha wouldn't spread what she'd seen, as it could lead to misunderstandings and jeopardize her chances with Ninlada.

"Yes, excuse me," Prawfha said curtly, grabbing her phone from the table and pretending not to notice the earlier interaction.

"P' Wan, aren't you going outside? I need to change. Sorry, I took too long a nap," Ninlada said, feeling awkward, especially with Prawfha there, fearing she might misunderstand.
