BounPrem Is Real?

1. Wishful Thinking or Not?

(I don't own any photos.)

Unedited.

My name is Boun (Noppanut) Guntachai and I'm 24.

Unlike, Win in the drama we filmed - UWMA, I didn't end up liking my colleague Prem Warut in some love at first sight scenario.

Prem, he... well, he just grew on me, through workshops and scenes and shootings and shows and promotions and -

"P'Boun!" his angelic voice brings me back to reality

"You can call me Boun, I've told you that so many times."

"How can I? You're older and we aren't even shooting so..."

"Anyway, why did you call me?"

"Ah yess, you should get ready for our shoot with the Travel Channel, we'll end up running late. Well, I'll go get my hair done, then, see you." he bows respectfully.

I wish he wouldn't be so darn formal with me. I wish off camera - when we aren't doing fan requests or scenes or promotions, he'd touch my arm often, sit close etc but I know that's wishful thinking on my part. That's why I love doing promotions atleast through acting and following a script I get to have him at ease around me.

"Prem?"

"Hmm?"

"Did you really mean that? What you said in that interview with me and Fluke?"

"About?"

My teeth grit out, unable to hide the jealousy in my voice- it slips, "About P'New" (our director)

"Uh- yeah he is a great director and I am grateful that I got to work with him?" he falters then sounds confused.

"Is that all? You don't have a crush on him or something do you?" I don't even know why I am still talking I should shut up. We're professionals!

"P' you so funny" he bursts out laughing as if I said something hilarious. "Get ready I'll see you in a bit, P'Bounn" he manages to say through laughs while shutting the door to my greenroom.

What did I just ask him? Why did I? Couldn't I just stick to professionalism?

All drama especially BL Drama actors have to pretend to be close and be comfortable around each other and act all couple like so that fan boys and girls ship us, go crazy, want to not only stream the drama more but also await a spin off if any, in our case we do have one.

I should've let it be till that. What? I can't act without actually falling for someone? How unprofessional!

"FUCK" I yell.

Meanwhile : Prem's POV:

I left the green room flustered, I can't believe P would ask me that out of the blue. I must be mistaken. It's not like he likes me or something. Then why is my heart beating this fast?! Hope?

Why? P'Boun, why are you making me feel like you care when you don't? He's popular, kind hearted, well mannered and good looking. To top it all off he's very hard-working! He has so many fans, both men and women. He's probably straight too. What am I thinking? Even if he's not he probably likes P'New, maybe that's why he sounded jealous.

P'New is a talented director. I am excited to work with him on Between Us too.
Between Us, us - Boun and I! Ah it's wishful thinking. That's why I try so hard to maintain a formal relationship as colleagues. I'm afraid I might actually fall for him. That'd be such a noob actor thing to do.

"Fuck" i hear him yell making me startle. Maybe he really does like P'New.

There is no way he likes me, it's all acting for promotions! Everything is scripted. Him touching me, me touching him. Every single thing is. I've hid it so well uptil now.

Then why is my heart beating so loudly? I think it'll fall out of my chest.

I'm 22 years old not 16.

*Ping*

* New message from P'New'*

Let's get dinner today. Cast and Director.

I type:

Sure, let me ask P'BOUN.

*Ping* *Message from P'New'*

Ah, no.. just you and me.

I look to and from my phone to the door.

My name is Prem (Warut) Chawalitrujiwong and I just got myself into deep shit.

Please don't hate Mr. New I just used him as bait.

Lmk if you want me to make this a story or just finish it off as a one shot.

Max comments win. If there aren't any comments I'll just leave this story as is lol. Cause I really don't know what to do.

Post my exam (an online language exam) I will begin typing on Thursday but ofc I have to complete my other book - Random Namjin first.

I hope you all are safe :')

Much love,
Me. (Very informative)
