Roommate [BounPrem/PremBoun]

Chapter Six

I felt like my heart was about to burst out of my chest. My eyes widened when Boun said my name for the first time. I let out a soft "Mm.." in response while trying to hide how my flustered cheeks. I frowned as I remembered how hard it would be to tell Yacht about how im unable to work at the cafe. Boun seemed to notice my sad aura and cleared his throat. "You can still visit. And if the series goes well, you can work there.. your dad said so." My face lit up as I heard his words and proceeded to gaze out the window with a smile. I have to do well. For the sake of my life and proving Boun wrong.

...

"Ok. Let's try to reenact it now," Boun said as he stood up. I took a deep breathe and prepared myself. The atmosphere was more quiet than before and it somehow made me more comfortable. We were almost done with practicing all of the lines, and it was the final scene.

"I know I've never said it properly and right now I will. I like you, I like you so much. I want to be with you for eternity." Boun walked up to me as he wrapped an arm around my waist. "What about you?"

I physically couldn't say out a word, not even the slightest sound. I just stared at Boun's eyes, feeling all nervous for some reason. I had to remind myself that it was all an act, not real. Tears were starting to brim in my eyes and I quickly pushed him away.

Ring
"How are you, Nam? I missed you."

I felt like a thousand boulders have been thrown onto me as I saw his smile. I made a beeline to my room and collapsed onto the ground. The tears were already falling down like a waterfall, staining my cheeks. I groaned and lightly hit my head in annoyance. "Why am I being like this? I only like him as an fan, nothing more. Yes, Prem." I was mad at myself for ruining the practice with my selfish feelings. I searched up Boun's girlfriend and she was also a popular celebrity as well, super pretty... alot better compared to me. I couldn't even come between them even if I wanted to. They were like a match made from heaven while Boun and I, are just working partners. I probably overreacted when he showed kindness towards me. He's a human, of course he would show a little sympathy. My darn feelings would interfere with the series and could ruin his career. I groaned out once more, but more loudly, exhausting my frustration. Before I knew it, I was fast asleep.

...

I was awoken to a bright light, shining onto my face. My eyes fluttered open and took me a few seconds to react as I realised Boun was in my room. He pulled the curtains closed and kneeled down infront of me. "Missed the bed or something?" I pressed my lips together and kicked him in the leg harshly. "Why are you here anyways.." I knew that he wouldn't come in my room without a request or a good reason.
"Your dad wanted us to 'get closer' so, where do you want to go?" My dad again..? Boun seemed to have no choice but to obey and it made me upset that he was probably forced even if he didn't wanted to. However, I could use this opportunity to maybe get closer to him. I had a feeling lingering in me that maybe I still have a chance. I titled my head as I thought deeply.

"How about going to the park?"
