Putting on an oversized hoodie and a pair of jeans, I combed my silky hair back with my fingers. Satisfied, I smiled at the mirror and turned around, about to call for Boun. My mouth was zipped shut and in shock as I noticed Boun walking towards me. He was wearing a casual black tee with a pair of black pants. However though, that was not the reason I was shocked. He also was wearing a pair of chunky sunglasses, a mask and a scarf. "Boun. Lose the sunglasses and scarf will you? It's not cold yet sunny today." He explained that he was just being safe incase paparazzi finds him. Is he really that afraid of paparazzi? He shook his head aggressively and dug his head into the scarf. He reminded me of a child, though I depise children. With a sigh, I opened the door and lightly kicked the back of his knee making him nearly fall.

You remember when Boun mentioned about all eyes being on me right? Well, its ironic. Because instead, all eyes are on him. I wanted to hide from the embarrassment as I watched the confused looks on people's faces as they walk by. I thought the whole point of being a celebrity is to not stand out.. Atleast I'm glad that no one actually recognised him. As we walked around the park, I noticed a familiar hotdog stand within my view which lured me almost immediately. I remembered eating this hotdog whenever I went to the park as a kid, ahh the nostalgia. I was practically drooling as I stared at how the vendor placed a steaming sausage in between the buns. "You're going to scare away the customers." Boun walked up next to me and quietly inspected the stand. I swear no one will know what he was feeling because his entire face was covered with the absurd amount of things. I directed Boun to a bench nearby as I ordered the hotdogs.

"Before you say any shit like, 'I don't eat commoner food', just try it. Trust me." I told Boun as I handed him his hotdog. He let out chuckle almost as if I read his mind exactly. Taking off his scarf and pulling down his mask, he hesitantly took a bite of the hotdog. I was looking at him intensely with hope in my eyes and prayed that it will be good. "Its soso." The heck? I was so excited for nothing. My smile fell and I chewed on my hotdog, clearly annoyed as I stomped my feet lightly on the ground. I was taken by surprise as Boun suddenly leaned in to me. "We have to go." Before I could let out a word, I was pulled up harshly by him and brought to gods know where. My shorter and less athletic legs was dying as compared to Boun's long and well-built ones. Reminder: Get the fuck up someday and work out, Prem.

We stopped at an alley and we were both perspiring like crazy. Boun wasn't as bad though, still managing to keep his composure while I was on the verge of collapsing. Boun peeked around the corner before leaning onto the wall. "It's alright now, the paparazzi are gone... Prem?" He noticed my annoyed expression as I kept my mouth shut. "You look super annoying right now. The hell happened?" You happened.  Ever since I met Boun, my idol crush has been ruined. Boun wasn't as nice and perfect as I thought he was. He doesn't even seem to appreciate things enough. But the fact that being close to him makes me fall deeper for him made it all worst. I don't know how I should feel.

"Nothing." I looked up to him as I plastered on a smile. I shouldn't tell him. "Hey look. If it's about the hotdogs, im sorry. It looks that they mean a lot to you." My eyes widened as he said that. He raised an eyebrow at my sudden reaction before turning his back against me. It was getting dark so it was easier for us to head home without getting caught and with much ease. Today was honestly full of mixed feelings. I slammed the door closed and took off my sneakers. Before I headed into my room, Boun spoke out to me. "I might consider you as a friend."

Friend.
I nodded as I grinned widely at him before entering my room.

Let's keep it that way, perhaps?
