Fame. Friendship. Pressure. Love.
What will they do to achieve the last?
In the chaotic world of showbiz, how will these three couple find their way to each other's arms?
How much are they willing to give up and fight for in the name of Love?
"Gentlemen, please take a seat.", P'Godji asked, referring to the four dashing men and their handlers who just entered the conference room.
They all took a seat as instructed. Each men, gazing at one another, looking a little confused. Off gazes at Gun, smiling awkwardly. Gun glances at him, giving Off a slight nod. Singto watches Krist as the latter went and took a seat. A lot of things taking over his mind. While Tay watches New who sat beside him.
"Alright. I want y'all to meet each other and try to get along since you will be working for a few months once you all signed the contract.", P'Godji explained as she began handing out a bunch of stapled set of papers, each set covered with folders.
Singto and Off who were sitting opposite to each other and nearest to Godji each took half of the papers. They saw their names indicated on the folders, they took the folder with their names on it and forwarded the rest to others.
"You can read it here right now. Decide if you'd take it. Or you can bring it with you and think about it. It's all up to you. Be reminded though that I need your answer in three days cause we will be launching y'all in a week's time. Part of the scripts are also attached at the latter part of the papers so you would have an idea what role you are going to portray and who your partners will be.", she then explained in an authoritive tone.
Singto, Gun, Off, Krist, New, and Tay opened their respective contracts and read through it. Tay, Off, and Singto signed the contract right away after reading and understanding what was written on the papers. New, Krist, and Gun decided to think it over and asked P'Godji about it. Godji agreed.

Meeting adjourned. Everyone has gone out of the room except New and P'Tum. He was staring at his contract the whole time, sighing from time to time.
"What's the matter, Nong New?", P'Tum asked, seeing how troubled New is. The latter looked at his manager blankly. He shook his head then tapped on the folder.
"This is absurd in my opinion." he uttered.
"What do you mean?", P'Tum asked again, his brows furrowed.
"This. I don't think I can do it.", he said, looking at his manager seriously.
"Well, it was mentioned earlier, before we got in here, that you'll be paired up with a male.", P'Tum reminded New.
"Yeah. I know. But.. To be paired up with Tay?", he argued.
"What's the matter if it was him?", the manager continued to ask.
"I don't know.. It's just that.. There's something about him which gives me an unsettled feeling. I just.. I don't know.. I.. I don't think I can trust him.", he explained, feeling skeptical.
"Come on, Nong. Give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe you're just feeling awkward since this is your first time having a big project and being paired up with a male. Besides, Tay is a great actor and well-known for being professional.", his manager coaxed him.
"Fine.. But you can't expect me to be all lovey dovey with that guy. I don't do that.", New sighed, finally convinced to give Tay a chance.
"No one is asking you to. Just do your job and follow what is asked according to the contract.", P'Tum smiled, giving New's shoulder a gentle squeeze. New shook his head then signed the contract in front of him.
Meanwhile..
"Sing.. Can I have a word with you?", Gun asked Singto. They were in GNNtv's lobby waiting for their driver to pick them up. They are on their way for a TV guesting.
Singto looked at Gun hesitantly.
"Alright.", he responded. Then sat on the couch beside the small handsome guy.
"What's up?", he asked.
"Are you sure about this?", Gun asked Singto back.
"What do you mean?", asked the dashing tanned skin man.
"Sing.. We've been friends for a while now. I've been helping you hide your true intentions. I can tell you have a hand in this.", Gun said in an accusing but low voice.
Singto averted his gaze. Avoiding Gun's sad eyes. The little guy sighed as he lowered his head, then looks away.
"I guess you're being bolder now.. I hope you succeed and get what you've always wanted.", Gun then said, his voice cracked a little. Holding his tears back. Singto glances at his companion, nudging Gun's arm.
"I'm sorry, Gungun.. I didn't expect it to happen this way too.", Singto explained, wrapping his arms around Gun, comforting his partner.
"It's alright. It's just that..", Gun sighed then leaned his forehead on Singto's shoulder.
"Gun.. As I promised you before.. You have me beside you always.", he responded, tussling his companion's hair.
"Yeah.. But you're heart isn't with me.", Gun said looking up at the man beside him, forcing a smile.
Singto smiled softly, playfully pushing Gun away.
"Silly. ", he responded, smirking.
Not too far away from them, just standing beside the reception area, a pair of eyes watching. Fist clenched.
