" P! Are you going home now?"
Krist called Singto from behind.
" Yes, Nong Krist."
Singto smiled.
Krist likes being called " Nong" by Singto.
- Finally!
It's been 2 weeks weekend to convene Singto to call " Nong" instead of " Khun".
Singto hesitated first but gradually he begins to call Krist , " Nong".
- This is the first step. P"Singto is mine, I won't lose you,  P' New!
New  made Krist really really upset. Singto was his Head hazer. Yes, Krist got cold feet and avoided him. But when New hugged Singto and talked very cheerfully made him realized that he need to make move otherwise he won't success in this drama.
- I have a dream! I won't mess up this chance!

Also Krist had overheard P'Singto's conversation with P'Ram who is project manager of SOTUS, 2 weeks ago was another wake up call of his.

2 weeks ago
Krist saw P'Ram and P'Mike are standing in front of someone.
- They are nagging...to who?
Krist hide himself blind spot, try to check who the other one is.
"So? Have you made up your mind Khun Prachaya ?"
- what? Is it P'Singto?
" You know , I think you are not good enough to being here. I've been patient of you long enough."
- I don't understand, why P' Mike is so hush to P' Singto.
" I'm sorry Khun Prachaya, Krist is not happy with you. He said you are too quiet and difficult. I thought you can but.."
- What? P'Ram? What are you talking about?
Krist was stupefied what Ram said to Singto.
" See, you've got to go. Don't worry, you'll get paid for workshop work , 2 months worth money. Well, I was right about you. Smart ass."
Mike said with pleased face.
- How come P'Mike is so mean to P'Singto? I don't understand. He is always nice to me.
" if you understand, just pack your staff and leave. We'll be late for workshop."
Singto stared at Mike for a moment, and wai him and Ram.
" wait! No!"
Krist dash out in front of them.
"Krist?"
P'Ram murmured.
"P'Ram, I'm sorry I am the one who avoid P'Singto."
"What? What are you talking about? You didn't."
"Yes, I did, P'Mike.."
" but Mike told me you are uncomfortable to work with Khun Prachaya."
"Well, actually I don't remember if I said or not. Maybe I whine P'Mike. And maybe P'Mike is worrying about me because he takes care of me very much."
Krist try to talk them with sincere attitude.
- oh, come on!!
Krist crossed his finger.
"But..but... he is..."
" P'Singto is only man I can kiss!"
Kris bursted before Mike say anything.
- Gosh, what am I saying?
Krist could feel he is blushing.
"Oh! ....well , then.. Khun Prachaya, would you like to continue to work?"
Ram asked Singto.
"Yes, sir."
Singto answered clearly.
" I'm counting on you."
Ram patted Singto.
Mike just stared at Singto with furiously.

" So where is your house? Aren't you hungry ? We can stop by somewhere to eat then go home."
Krist try to pursued Singto.
" Umm, okey. We can eat out somewhere."
Singto agreed.

" Hey, P. Do you like noodle?"
Krist find one noodle shop when they walking in the street.
" Oh, sure."
So they sat one corner of the table at the shop.
" ...P'Singto. I'm sorry."
Said Krist. He looked at Singto's eyes sincerely .
"Huh? Why are you saying to me?"
Singto is puzzled.
" What P' Mike said to you a while ago."
" ...Oh, no. I'm the one who should apologize you. No.. I must say ..
Thank you, Nong Krist. Without your help I wouldn't be here. Thank you very much."
Singto smiled at Krist.
Krist can feel that his face is getting hot.
- Oh, cut the crap what's happened to me ? why am I blushing?
"Umm, that's fine, P. Let's superb drama P!"
Krist high-fived Singto and instead of his simply high-fiving Krist back, grabbed his hand.
" So, am I the only one you can kiss?"
Singto stares at me and smirks.

- Oh my god.

Peach Tree Cafe
"So, How's workshop going?"
"Aaaaah...it's okey."
Krist sip this tea.
" That's it?"
Preaw said as a disappointment.
" What? bummed out?"
Krist just glanced at her.
" Well, I understand you can't talk much about on-going work but I'm your number one supporter so maybe you can give me small episodes or something that makes me excited, you know?"
He looked at me with full of "hopeful" eyes.
" Ahem, What do you want to know most?"
Krist ask her with cautious.
"Tee-hee-hee. Well, How far have you gone with him?"
As soon as Krist heard the question, he start coughing hard.
" Oh! Are you okey? Here use this tissue, blow your nose and wipe your tear."
" P...Preaw, what do you mean? Am I your boyfriend or not?"
Krist eyes are still teary, assuming his tea went wrong place.
"Oh, of course you are. I just want to know progress of drama. I read original novel, so I just want to know, how's Kongpob and Arthit doing."
Preaw frowned.
"...They go nowhere."
"Eh?"
Preaw confused.

Singto and Krist are called by Chef producer. They stand upright which remind them their hazing activity.

" You guys need to know each other more, before I decide your role playing.
Yes, Kongpob and Arthit were just acquaintance in the beginning, but we don't shoot in order. One moment you cry , next you laugh. That's acting. Since this is your first acting experience, I don't think you are capable of playing like I said. I don't expect a lot from you guys until to get used my shooting style. But once I decide your role,  we might shoot
Rama 8 Bridge scene first.
What are you going to do then? I won't waist my time and money for you guys. Be more cautious and professional. It's been 3 months already but I don't see any chemistry between you guys."
Chef director said strictly, then left.

Singto glanced at Krist.
- Gee, this is not good.
Krist looks like he is about to start crying at any time.
The last thing Singto wants to see.
" Nong~. Look at me. Nong~.Hush baby."
Singto hugged him first, then pat him on the head.
Singto sounded so tender and gentle as if he is his boyfriend.
"P.."
It was really touching.
