A Love Surreal

Scene 1 : The Artists

His mouth is slightly opened, trying to catch his breath. His sweat is rolling from his forehead slowly trickling down to his face. His red lips looks temptatious as he licked them wet. Using the back of his palm, he gently wiped his perspiration which was dripping from his chin. He is a beautiful sight to behold. Nobody can deny that. Even Singto believes so as he glances at his partner whose heavily panting as him.

Krist looked at his partner too who was panting and sweating a lot from rigorous dancing and singing. Singto's moves are precise, even his learned smile. He knows how to flirt with the camera just by his simple gestures. As if every flick of his fingers, every curves of his lips, every tilt of his head are made to catch the person's heart who watches him.

Krist discreetly smirked, internally shaking his head.

"If I were a girl, I would surely swoon over this man everytime. But then again, I am not.", he thought to himself.

Someone from the staff handed them a white towel to wipe their sweats off. Instead of wiping his own perspiration, he approaches Singto and gently rubbed off the liquid dripping from his partner's forehead down his face, to his chin, then his neck.

The crowd went wild, screaming and swooning over the sweet gesture Krist did.

Singto smiled at his partner, gazing at Krist intently. As if they were the only people in existence. The viewers didn't mind though. They are just so happy to see the couple being thoughtful to each other.

Singto took a bottled water which was already placed at the corner of the stage just in case they get thirsty. He removed the cap then handed it to Krist. The latter who was also panting and sweating heavily is now wiping off his own sweat. He accepted the opened bottled water which Singto handed him and drank from it.

Their white outfit are also soaked in sweat but they didn't mind. They are happy to give their best for their fans' satisfaction.

Singto waited for his partner to finish drinking then he drank out of the same bottle.

The fans giggled and were all giddy at how 'romantic' the couple is.

"Excuse us everyone. Let us breath first.", Krist said still panting, smiling sweetly at the fans.

"It's alright, P! You're so cute..!", the fans yelled back at them, waving their banners and their light sticks with the initials 'KS' on them.

After a while, they began to do a 'mini talk' where the host makes Krist and Singto talk about their past and their experiences together.

"If it was the last days of your lives, what will you say to each other?", P'Q, the MC, asked the 'couple'.

"Face each other then feel it in yourselves, what is it really that you want to say when you have no time left.", he continued. The two faces each other then seriously gazes into their eyes.

Krist brought the microphone closer to his lips while still gazing at his partner as if trying to muster the courage to open up his heart.

"P'Sing..", he began.

"Nothing.", then laughed. Singto laughed at Krist's joke. Hugging each other as if it was undestood that Krist was just joking.

"Thank you.", Singto responded. Seemingly relieved that Krist didn't say anything serious.

"Aww...", the audience reacted in disappointment but are still smiling upon the sight of the couple's interaction.

A few more teasing from P'Q followed after which kept the audience engaged.

The couple bid goodbye to their fans after promoting their upcoming projects and current shows.

"Where are you going this time?", P'Tae asked Krist as soon as they got in the back stage and seeing that Krist keeps looking at his phone.

The latter quickly changed into his casual outfit after they entered the dressing rooms. Krist just smirked and winked at P'Tae then rushed to leave. He almost bumped into Singto on his way out. Singto is still wearing the same white sando paired with a white denim which is still wet from perspiration. He ran his eyes over Krist and gave him a straight face after. Krist did the same and went on leaving the room.

P'Tae shooked her head seeing how cold the two towards each other behind the camera.

Singto went on changing his costume as if nothing happened.

"Is Krist going on a date again?", P'Jane, Singto's manager, asked Krist's manager.

P'Tae avoided P'Jane's accusing look.

"Uhh.. I-.. I don't know.", she responded, feeling embarrassed at her talent's attitude.

Krist is a talented artist. He is a great singer, a dancer, and a versatile actor. Aside from having great visuals too.

Singto, on the other hand, is dedicated. He does everything he is tasked to do the best way he can. He is one of the top calibred actor, model, and one of the best photographers. Aside from having an undeniable oozing sex appeal.

The two are a perfect match and a tough act to follow. They are the legendary couple as everyone said. They've received multiple awards together as best couple for 3 consecutive years. They easily got along since they both came from the same school. Though they weren't close back in the University days, it became their common ground.

Everything was going smoothly until Krist opened up to his manager that he wants to quit being Singto's partner a couple weeks ago.

When P'Tae asked him, he couldn't provide her a solid reason.

"Dear, you should really talk to Krist. What is going on with him?", P'Jane advised P'Tae who also happens to be his best friend.

Singto slipped out of his white sleeveless shirt and slammed it against his vanity table which startled the two managers.

"Let him be! If he doesn't want to work with me anymore, I don't give a fuck!", he butted in, looking irritated.

The two went silent as they looked at each other, sighing.
