"What? Do you want me to be a homosexual? Hell no! I am straight, I don't like men! and I have a girlfriend."
Krist yelled at his agent. He doesn't care even if his upper managements are with them.
" Krist. I've never said that you have to become gay. I just asked if you are interested to play gay role. Well, it's not even a gay role. It's a kind of trend now.. It's called "boy's love" Girls love to see interaction between boy and boy. It's been going on about a couple of years already. Have you seen our Y- dramas? This time, the story is different,actually the story is based on a novel that hit millions. It can be a great drama. You can use your Hazing experience at Uni. It's really simple, your parter is not a girl, that's all. If you don't want to play role with our choice, you can choose one."
One of Krist's upper management start to talk to him with concerning face.
" I know you have been struggling to success in this industry and tried so hard. We all know that. Actually you are very handsome talented young man who can sing , dance, play instruments and actually you can talk . Also your grandfather was great artist. So you have lots of potentials. But the thing is you didn't have any chance to show your talent in this society. Well, why don't you try in different method? we support you. Trust me, this is the only one time to play same gender romance role for you. I promise, and even you won't success this drama, I will promise you that we won't disappoint you and we will continue to support you until you success."
Krist listens quietly.
" Well, I get your idea, but look at me, so you think I will be fit on those kind of role? I don't look like gay and non of guys ever hit on me."
Everyone in the room laugh at him.
" Oh, come on Krist, you don't have to worry about the part, It will creat by TV director and his team. If they like you, they will sell you accordingly ."
Krist is blushing now.
"You will go through 3 processes to get a role same as other contestants. However you will go to the final if you don't mess up big time. Read this book and prepare for your audition."
When top VP firmly told Krist, his mind was set up.
" well, I have nothing to lose right now. Why not."
Krist Perawat grabbed the novel called "SOTUS".

XYZ Steak house
- Why am I pushing this cart? Why people want to use private room? Am I suppose to work at kitchen? If I don't get promised raise, I'll quit for sure.
Steak dinner for four is handful for one server but restaurant staff is short and make things worse today is Saturday.
I can't complain.

I knock the door before enter the room and greeted to customers.
There are 4 men with expensive clothes, discussing something very seriously. I set their meal as they ordered, well I didn't take their orders so I just set the table as my manager told me. And when I am about to leave, one of them pointed at me and bent his index finger and said,
" you, Come, come here!"
The guy who wears shocking red tie claimed me.
- Me?
I pointed my chest with left palm as if I'm surprised.
" yes! You, come here."
- Wow, Really?
I debated myself in second whether move forward to him (he is a customer after all) or ignore him (because he is rude.)
Then I decided to ignore him.
" Enjoy your meal."
I bow them , then closed the door.
- Screw my manager! if I get fired from this, I don't care. I don't like to be a server its alway bring me trouble. People always stare at me or try to touch me sometimes people try to give me huge tips as an exchange for my contact. That's creeps me out !
" WAIT ! "
Still the red tie guy tries to stop me from behind.
" I said stop! "
Then he grabbed my left shoulder.
- He touched me.
When he grabbed my shoulder , I felt shivers down my spine.
- Ewwww. Don't touch me.
" Hey, didn't you hear me? Why didn't you stop?"
I froze.
- Don't dare to touch me.
The red tie guy's sudden touching surly upset me.
I try to calm myself quickly, then opened my mouth with surprise sound.
" Oh, did you call me? I am so sorry.
" You.!!!!"
The red tie guy's face become really red now.
"Mike, stop it. You are very rude to him. Are you Mr. Singto Prachaya ?"
Other guy asked my name.
The other guy looks generous who wears expensive gray suits and watch ( I think it's Royal Oak).
He asked me with very nice way unlike red one.
" Yes, sir. My name is Prachaya Ruangroj. How can I help you ?"
I smiled at him.
" I want to talk to you a bit. Do you care if you can stay with us ? Don't worry about your wedge. Your manager knows us already so it will count as your working hour. Please come back to the private room."
- Okay, he is nice one.
So I follow him with red tie guy who looks at me with hated eyes.
I smirk at him in return.
Turn out the expensive watch guy is a TV producer and others are his associate including the red tie guy.

They are looking for the next idol for new drama that they will create. They said , they found me from University IG with  anonymous recommendation.
Well, since I was a head hazier, people took my pictures a lot back then so it's no surprise they have my photo. But why me?

" Of course, you have to go through audition process same as others. We have several candidates other than you and we've been asking for those people to come to our audition. Are you interested to come ?"
The TV producer asked me.
" I've never play any drama before, and I bet so many people will be the audition as you said. Do you think I have a chance to get in?"
I am bit confused about current situation.
" I can't say Yes for sure because we are the not only one who choose main role, we also have our sponsors and author. But I think you have huge possibilities."
- This producer is very honest I thought.
"It doesn't matte who posted your picture or who recommended. I like you already. You are more handsome than the picture we got."
The green tie one on left flatter me.

"You should take this chance because you need money."
The producer said to me calmly.
" what.."
I gazed him.
"..."
The green guy speak out.
" Oh, please don't be mad at him. We know your recent loss and your money struggles. If you grab this chance, I am sure you can payback with no problem. Your father doesn't have to work 2 jobs anyone."
I'm not suer if I get mad at them to invade my privacy. I recalled what green guy said.
- He is right, I need money, my father has huge debt. At least this TV producer is honest.
" What kind of drama will you shoot? Do you really think I have a chance to get a role in drama?"
I asked green guy.
" You can try. If you are interested in the audition, it will be 2 weeks from today on Saturday at sports arena for first one. We will have 3 processes to decide."
While he is talking someone handed me a book called " SOTUS."
