Prem's P.O.V.

Today is the casting day for the upcoming BL Series, "Until We Meet Again". I am so nervous! I looked around and saw some veteran actors. How am I supposed to even get a supporting role?! P'Fluke and P'Earth are already famous in this field that's why I'm sure that they will get a role that's way better than mine.

"Nong Prem, he will be your partner." The assistant director told me and pointed to the guy at the corner of the room.

"Stand next to him because the director will call you by pairs and tell you the role you'll be acting as later."

I did as what the assistant director told me and walked to the guy she said that will be my partner in the series.

Wait. This guy seems to be familiar. He was the one assigned to the booth beside mine at the Kaset Fair!

"Our sales are dropping." My senior told me.

It is only the third day of the week-long Kaset Fair. We were selling just fine on the first two days but everything changed when the milk shop, the booth beside us, opened.

"I wanna buy pork skewers but the P' selling milk is cute. I wanna hear his voice!" The girl squealed right in front of our shop and dragged her friend with her to the milk shop.

Hmmmppp! I've been staring at that dude since this morning. He's not that handsome! These Nongs are overreacting.

"You can go home now, Nong." My senior told me. "I'm gonna clean these up. See you tomorrow!"

"Sawadee krup, P'. (Hello, P')" I greeted him.

He just nodded at me and then looked away. Such an arrogant faggot!

The casting went on. I was paired up with him, Boun Noppanut Guntachai, the name of the jerk who stole the customers of our booth at Kaset Fair and the asshole who ignored my Wai (polite greeting in Thailand) this morning. I'll never forget his name.

"Your character's name is Team." The director told me and then turned to P'Boun. "And yours is Win. You guys will be the side couple of the, reincarnated KornIn, DeanPharm."

"Here are the copies of the script. The workshop will start next week." The assistant director said and handed the scripts to us.

"Do you guys want to eat dinner together tonight?" The director suddenly asked.

"Sure, P'!" P'Earth replied while smiling widely.

"Shai, P'. (yes, P')" P'Fluke said. "It could also help us be close to each other faster."

"Well then, take a rest and I'll see you guys tonight." The director said. "I'll just send the address to our group chat in Line."

After those being said, we dispersed.

LINE

(Noppanut Guntachai online)

Hello, P'. This is Prem krup. I got your Line from the GC. Is it okay if I message you?

Hello, Khun Prem.

Oi, P'! You can just call me Nong 555555+

Ok, Nong. No need to be that formal with you, I guess?

Shai krup. Besides, we already met before.

??

At the Kaset Fair krup. I was attending the booth beside yours.

Oh. The shop that sells pork skewers?

Shai krup.

I bought some there that time but I didn't see you.

Yes, P'. I went to the washroom the time you bought some from our shop.

Oh, okay.

How are you going to the restaurant later, P'?

I'll drive. You?

I'll ask my manager to drop me off hehe.

You don't need to.

Krup?

I'll pick you up.

Mai pen rai (it's okay), P'! I don't want to bother you.

It's really okay, though. I'll pick you up at 6:30.

He's such a snob! He replies in a cold manner, he ignores people who greets him, and worst? He can't even remember significant people he meets! I mean, you know! I met him already... A "booth neighbor"! Does he not know the word "socialize"?! Tsk.

"To our upcoming series!" The director said and raised his glass.

"We're going first, P'." P'Kao said and helped P'Earth to stand up. "He's already drunk and his manager asked me to send him home because his house is on my way home too."

"We're going too, P'." P'Boun said and tapped me on my shoulder.

"I don't wanna leave yet, P'." I told him. "I'm not even drunk yet."

"Well, that's good." He said and pulled me to stand up. "I don't want you to get drunk either."

We headed straight to the parking lot and he opened the door for me.

"What's the problem with you, P'?!"

"Tuhm mai? (why?) What did I do?" P'Boun asked me. "I don't want to drive you home drunk. I'm just worried."

I did not respond to what he said and stayed quiet throughout the whole trip.

"Khop khun na krup, P'Boun. (Thank you, P'Boun.)"

He just nodded.

"Are you not leaving yet, P'?" I asked him.

"Not yet." He said and closed the car window.

I went inside my house because I don't want to even breath the same air he does.

I took a bath and decided to scan the script given to us. So our roles are similar to real life, huh? Love-hate relationship of senior- junior. It's exactly the same if you cut off the "love" part.

He's just so rude and self-centered! He's a snob and he's so selfish. I shouldn't have accepted his offer to pick me up and drop me off. It's as if I forced him to do those, tsk.

He hurriedly wanted to head back home. Grrr. I should've told him I could just ride a taxi going back. Why did he have to bring me with him in a rush?

I should probably sleep now and stop thinking about that annoying man.
