Hi! Faenboy

Chapter 1: Kombucha

Daou POV

Most of the men my age are already successful and settled, I only have the latter. Wake up, get dressed, eat, work and sleep used to be my go to routine ever since I started working, but it was interrupted when my niece told me of a rising star—Offroad.

“Uncle, can we get this please?” Milk tugged on my sleeve as she pointed something out.
“–I’ll get back to you, good afternoon” I closed my phone as I looked to see what she was pointing at. As we found ourselves in the drink aisle of the supermarket, I saw her pointing at a kombucha beverage.
“Baby, I don't think you should be drinking that.” Kombucha drinks were said to have a percentage of alcohol in them as well as caffeine. Those aren't good for young children especially with Milk being a 5 year old.
“I saw P’Offroad drink it, I want to try pleaseee” She pulled out her doe eye look.
“I'm really sorry baby but I can't buy this for you… how about I try it instead and tell you how it tastes?” I held her hands as I stooped to her level.
“Ok uncle!” She agreed enthusiastically.
Who is this Offroad that my niece is talking about? Is he a senior? A new friend of P’Nu?

We strolled throughout the mall and I felt Milk tug on my suit.
“Uncle, uncle Ou!” She squealed.
“Yes baby?” I feel quite confused, what is it now?
“Look it's P’Offroad” She points to a bustling crowd.
“I see, I see” I didn't see, I only see a crowd of people gathering upon a man, which I think IS Offroad, but the distance wasn't enough to see the man's face.
“Hi P’Offro–” I hurriedly scooped Milk
“Baby, we can greet P’Offroad later ok”
“Oh, ok uncle!” I felt relieved as a smile crept on her face. Even if P’Nu is one of the most prominent managers in the Thai acting industry, our family would like to have some privacy. Milk is still too young to be seen by the media and have a lingering spotlight on her always. I hurriedly went to our car as we drove away. So this P’Offroad might be an actor under P’Nu, noted.

“Thank you so much uncle!” Milk pecked my cheek after I dropped her off at my sister's house. It has been a long day that was spent playing and shopping with her.
“Thank you for taking care of Milk” I saw my sister approaching me
“No worries P’Nu… who is this Offroad Milk was talking about?” I asked her as she gave me a surprised face.
“You don't know him?”
“I saw him at the mall earlier but not enough. Would I ask if I knew?” she burst out into chuckles.
“He's the big thing nowadays, he's under my care. He is an influencer but he told me that he'd like to venture out more in the acting industry.” I gave her a surprised look back, he's a big thing huh?
“Well, I'm not interested in celebrities nowadays. My cats and our family keeps me company enough.”
“You should check him out though, he’s really good” P’Nu recommends to me.
“I'll be taking your recommendation, good bye P’!” I waved at my sister as I hopped on my car and went to my own house.

~~~

I almost forgot about P’Nu’s recommendation. I chose to break free from my usual routine and searched for Offroad. As the images popped up I knew I had my heart stolen. He is one of the most beautiful omegas I've seen throughout my entire life. His eyes shone, his lips painted with a perfect shade of pink, his bangs making him look cuter, and a jasmine flower tucked beautifully on his ear. He looks enchanting….. What am I thinking?!?

It had also occurred to me that I've seen his face multiple times by now, I've seen some interns from the marketing department watching his series and vlogs during broad daylight. Well, I think I might hang out with those interns sometime. I knew that he is an actor so I must do my due diligence as a new fanboy, to watch his content.

I started to binge watch a series that he had played in, “Our Months the series” . He played the role of a cold ‘nerd’ who challenges the varsity captain that was played by his onscreen partner named Zax. I tried to finish the series but the feeling of possessiveness interrupted every interaction of Offroad and Zax bothered me terribly, I felt myself growl even if they were just looking at each other. It's a very strange thing for me, the boy is 9 years younger than me and I even dare to think of him as such? I knew that I was damned because of this pretty boy. I never felt such a feeling before, but I can see why I would feel it. He is the most beautiful omega that I've seen, but isn't still strange to feel so strongly for a stranger (at least I am to him)

You have all the rights to call me outdated, but for the first time in my life have I've ever downloaded tiktok. As I looked for the search bar, I hurriedly typed Offroad’s name and tried to follow him, only to find out that I needed an account for that. Once I've finally made one I have finally followed him. It might or might not surprised me once I saw the vlogs and videos he made, his vlogs are surprisingly educational and through the content binge I have discovered 3 things: he used to be a teacher, he used to live in Hat Yai, and that he likes cats but he doesn't have one.

“I have been thinking of Offroad as our new ambassador–” Joong gets cut off as I try to stop myself from spitting my coffee.
“Careful there, is there something going on?” He looks at me carefully.
“Nothing, the coffee's too hot”
“Anyways, I have heard people in my department recommend Offroad. He has the audience for our upcoming product” Joong dramatically shows off his hand. Our company is in the process of launching a smart watch. The company has decided to make more products that are much more easily integratable to our consumers’ day to day life.
“–I mean we still need to show this to Est before we can solidify the decision, but I really think that Offroad is the best candidate” He reasons out to me. I have seen that Offroad started as a tutor on Tiktok before making vlogs until he became a fully fledged actor under One Label—my sister's company. I agree with Joong, well of course not because I’m slowly going down the fanboy rabbit hole, but rather, he's really a good choice. No reputation stains nor controversies….. If he did get chosen as our smart watches’ ambassador, does this mean that I'll be seeing him around the corner? I might not be from the Marketing department, but I'm the Chief Finance Officer in the company, I still work here and he'll be around. I felt a faint blush color on my cheeks, do I need to start looking much more presentable in case he sees me around here? Just to give a good impression. Should I prepare a notepad and pen around me? To make observations around the company and in case (just in case) he comes around?

~~~

Ever since that day that I knew of him, I subconsciously started to check his socials. I never knew that I would open X, Instagram, and Tiktok just to look for a celebrity's post. I mean I did go through a fanboy phase when I was younger, around 13 to 16 years old. I don't really like browsing social media alot, I don't have enough time nor I'm the most interested. Scrolling isn't tiring nor boring though, I'm fine with giving a few minutes of my day for this boy.

A few clicks can do so much nowadays, I feel like being sucked into a rabbit hole as the algorithm does it's magic. My once Instagram page filled with photography and senseless quotes was flooded by Offroad’s clips, fan cams, and edits…. I don't mind the change, I think I even loved it. He's just so pretty, I sometimes see myself giggling and kicking my feet just watching him act. It's crazy, but I like this feeling. It made me feel much more relaxed, happy even. Point is that I'm loving this boy already, but I know that even if he's a few phone calls away, he's still well…unreachable.
