" Shiiiiiit! I'm dead! I'm late!"
Off  must run until he can't breath anymore. He is late for his rehearsal. ( deja vu 😂 Krist?😉)
Right now, his manage is taking care of 3 actors together because of shortage, and among one of them are newbie. Obviously she is pretty much concentrate newbie boy. Off has been in entertainment industry long enough so He is all by himself ..well, almost.
By the time of reaching workshop room, he is panting heavily. He opened the door expecting scoring him, but the room is deadly silent.
" Huh?"
Off  looked around the room and caught sight of corner.
- Krist.
Krist is sitting down embracing his knees.
Off turned to other side.
-Singto.
Singto is wearing black hoody with hood up,with headphones.
The rest of people are another corner.
" ...Huh.."

"Sawatdi Khrap, P' Off, lucky you! Our rehearsal haven't stared yet."
"Sawaidi, New. Yay, I'm lucky..... Hun, Do you know what's going on?"
" No, actually I have just come from studio, too. Hehehe."
" You, too Huh?"
Off and New stood there silently.

" When Fluke and I were chilling, P' Mike scolded Singto in front of Krist. I don't know exactly what the problem was. then P' Mike yelled at Singto again in front of everyone. Krist got upset, he start to yell at P'Mike. Singto stopped Krist, but when P'Mike saw it, he yelling at Singto more like mad man. I think Singto and Krist were just practicing their part. Singto didn't do anything. P'Mike freaked out with no reason. I don't understand. We just stood there, couldn't do anything, then Chief director came in. he seems like he was watching whole incident. P'Ram (project manager) and Chief  director called Mike to the office. That's all."
Oat said.
"Oh, what's a drama! Shit! I missed it!"
Off stamp his feet in frustration.
"Long story shot, just P'Mike freaked out and director took him to the office. Correct?"
New said.
" I guess." Oat agreed.
" But why? Do you know anything P' Off?"
New asked Off.
" Well, P' Mike has been hard on Singto with no reason. I saw one time , P' Mike yelled at Singto at locker room. Maybe Krist is his favorite or something."
Said Off.
"That's all?  I can't believe it . It doesn't make sense."
Oat's mouth open.
"I'm stunned.If Singto can't work properly as Krist's co- role actor, Both of them are doomed. so we are. What is thinking P' Mike?"
New shook his head.
".......well, who knows. How about them?"
Off nodded toward Krist and Singto.
Oat just shook his head.
"They don't talk."
"....."
Off sighed.

" Explain yourself."
Director and Ram are sitting in front of Mike with their arm over chest.
" ....."
"Well, why did you yell at Singto?"
Director asked him.
" .....when Krist and Singto were practicing their part, Singto wasn't serious at all. So.."
" Are you a director?"
Ram asked Mike.
" Oh, No! No! I just wanted to give him some advice.."
" Aha. Well, if I were you, I won't yell at him, instead I will encourage him more. If you really care about Khun Krist, you should care about Singto, too."
"...."
Mike just clam up.
"Mike, remember who you are. Singto is Kongpob. That's final!
Chef director ordered Mike strictly.

"Singto and Krist, come to my office."
Director called them from the door.
"Well, do you want to say something Singto?
Chef director asked Singto.
"...."
"Please feel free to talk to me. I told you we are team."
Director asked him gently.
"Umm... Do I Have aptitude for acting?"
Singto asked hesitantly, the question he wanted ask most.
"Well, if you ask me in normal circumstance, I just let you go."
When Singto heard it, he turned pale.
" ... What do you think ? Do you like acting ?"
Ram asked gently
" Yes."
" Why?"
" I can live someone's life that is very interesting. I like Kongpob. I am not sure if I am exactly like himself in novel. Even though I believe we have lots in common. Well, I'm not look like him, I'm not handsome as him, He is from worthy family whose parents and sisters are adore him, I only have father and came from middle class. He is a straight A student and very popular, I am not smart as him but I'm pretty good and I was quite popular when I was head hazier. He is good at basketball, so am I." Although sometimes he is too much but it's fun to being him."
"Very well, I like it. How about you, Krist? Do you like acting ?"
"Me? Yes, I like acting. This is first time for me but It's interesting. Umm...honestly I still don't know what BL is. Also it's kind of embarrassing for me to tell my friends about my work. Actually, I only told my parents."
"I see. Well, Boy's Love story is nothing different from general love story. The different is your partner's gender. You know, heterosexual is not only love."
Ram looked at Director.
"...I think anyone can train to be an actor, anyone can learn the skills required. But it's not as simple as that. We're all inclined towards certain things more than others. We can all learn to paint, but not everyone will be Picasso. We can all learn to play soccer, but not everyone will ever become David Beckham, because a gathering together of factors has brought him to become the best in his field. It's funny but someone can remember lots and lots of lines, but that also doesn't mean that you are going to become a great actor.
Also " talent" is not enough to be a great actor. I've seen so many actors in my life what I've seen is Those people that struggle the most, are those that are inflexible in mind, those that have difficulty affecting (others) and being affected (by others). Everyone struggles to learn something new. It always feels awkward and wrong to learn a new skill, but it is those people that cannot get out of their own way (by themselves or with help) that will struggle the most with becoming an actor. I choose you, Singto and Krist. Struggle more,study your character, try your best. But you are not alone. We are team. However, first of all, you guys need know each other more like best friend, like brothers. I believe you guys are totally opposite like Sun and Moon, hahahha it's funny you guys are really Kongpob and Arthit."
Director chuckled.
"Oh, speaking to get to know more..we will shoot Rama 8 bridge scene this weekend. Hey, Krist. Your P'Singto is the only one you can kiss, right ? Prepare yourself, you have to lead the scene,
P' Arthit."
Ram winked Krist.
" Naaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!"
Singto chuckled. He looks like more relaxed.
Krist turned red when his eyes met Singto.
Director and Ram smiled when they saw them.
" Oh, one more thing, you guys need to find your manager because your schedule is getting busy , or if you don't have preference, we will pick one for you guys.
I'd like to have contact information if you have in your mind. Ok, let's go! chop-chop!"
Ram clapped his hand.
