Walking out of the lounge, Sailub breathed a sigh of relief when he saw no one outside.
Not for away, there was a noisy crowd, and following the corridor for a few meters before turning a corner would lead to the media interview orea set up by the program team in advance.
Just by listening to the commotion, one could imagine the scene where various entertainment reporters, armed with cameras and microphones, were bombarding with questions incessantly.
Just recently, the two of them were photographed embracing on the street by paparazzi, and today they performed together on stage again, not to mention their previous collaboration in "Light Peck" and the "elopement on a rainy night...
With years of experience dealing with the media, Sailub could fully anticipate how the reporters would bombard them and dig into the relationship between him and Thanapon.
"Don't go that way," he held Thanapon's wrist and whispered softly, "Let's sneak out from this side."
Thanapon responded with a "Hmm" and changed direction.
No need for further words, the two of them were perfectly synchronized even in sneaking out.
Shoulder to shoulder, heads slightly lowered, with light and quick steps, they strode through the corridor, heading straight to the end of the safe passage.
The staircase echoed with the overlapping footsteps, resembling another tacit elopement.
Arriving at the underground parking lot, Sailub took a deep breath,
The air was filled with the smell of exhaust fumes, far from being fresh, yet there was a sense of relief emanating from every pore of his body.
As they walked towards the car, Thanaponi took out his phone and sent a message in the band chat, informing Topten and Sammy to come directly to the underground parking lot after finishing the interview.
"Where's to Tania?"
Sitting in the car, Sailub looked out through the window. "Wasn't she supposed to meet us at the parking lot after the match?"
"I'll call and ask," Thanapon said.
Just as he was about to make the call, a video invitation popped up on the screen.
Thanapon lightly tapped the screen with his thumb and answered the video call, revealing a pair of round, shiny black eyes in the video chat box.
The other side seemed dimly lit, and Thanapon asked, "Where are you and Sister Belle?"
"We're in the car, " Tania replied.
Sailub leaned closer to the camera and greeted Tania.
Upon seeing him, Tania exclaimed, "I didn't know you sang so beautifully!"
"Is it better than my gaming skills?" Sailub smiled.
"It's way better than that," Tania didn't even try to hide the fact that he was bad at gaming.
The laughter of Belle came through, and Thanapon chuckled as well, then said, "Send us your parking space number."
"We've already left," Tania said, "We're on our way."
"Aren't you coming back with us tonight?" Thanapon was a bit surprised.
"Tania hasn't packed up yet," Belle's voice came through without her showing up, "So she'll come back with me tonight. Besides, it's such an important night of winning the championship. Don't you two deserve to celebrate properly?"
Belle's words were subtle, implying that they should enjoy their time alone.
In fact, Tania wouldn't have much of an impact at home anyway, at most they would need to be a bit more discreet, unable to move from the first floor to the second floor as freely as before.
