A/N: I'm conflicted whether I should post this or not, but if you see this I probably did, so... enjoy! (it's pretty bad, I warn you)

"Mr. Kornchid, we gave you a new driver, he will take you to Chiang Mai" his managers secretary told him while they were in the office building walking towards the elevator "Dome, your manager, is already there with your stuff"

Nine had a shooting in Chiang Mai, where he would be staying for a week. His last driver got fired after his management found out about him drinking while on duty and crashing his car, luckily Nine wasn't there and nobody got injured. He was now supposed to meet his new driver, which he wasn't very interested in since he wanted to just get over with it and have some free time after.

They walked out of the elevator into the underground parking garage. It was pretty much empty apart from a few cars of other workers. There was a man standing beside a black car in the corner "There he is," Samantha exclaimed as they walked towards him "Mr. Kornchid, this is Archen, your new driver" the man turned around to look at both of them.

Nine immediately recognised the man in front of him, "No..." Nine whispered as he made eye-contact with Archen

"What was that sir?" the woman asked him

"Nothing,"

"Okay... as I said, this is Joong Archen, your new driver. He was moved here from Khon Kaen a week ago so don't be too harsh on him" Samantha told Nine

"I won't, don't worry" Nine smiled at Samantha, not Joong, he couldn't bring himself to look at the man again but failed when he heard Archen speak

"Sir, if you want to stop during the way or if you need anything just tell me" Joong was looking Nine in the eyes while talking until Nine averted the gaze.

"Okay, can we go now?" He looked at the woman

"Sure sir" Archen replied instead of her and opened the car door for him

"Thank you" not wanting to make eye contact with him one more time, Nine just sat in the car. He couldn't understand how he met him here.

Archen hasn't been coming for a few minutes and Nine had started to get annoyed, well... maybe not, he couldn't be annoyed at him.

He stepped into the car a few more minutes later

"Finally" Nine whispered again not knowing that Joong would hear it. He made eye contact with him in the rear view mirror for a moment

"I'm sorry sir, I had to discuss some things with Samantha. We will be going now" He said as he started the car, in a purely professional tone which made Nine confused, surprised and sad at the same time, but he remembered what happened in the past and that Nine himself was the reason...

5 years ago

Nine was in his room, he had finished high school a few months ago but wasn't going to attend university. He got a job offer in the capital of Thailand, Bangkok. It was risky to just leave like this without thinking, but he wasn't going to waste his chance of being an actor. Nothing was holding him back... nothing but one person, Joong Archen, his best friend
