Daou nodded, lips quirking into a small, private smile. He adjusted the mic, settling into his stance. He could do this, he could give everything he had, and if he was being honest, he already knew who he was singing for. It left him breathless, pliant in a way he only ever was for Offroad. He melted for him every time...
With his solo debut just around the corner, the pressures of Daou's dreams and unspoken fears start to shake his private relationship with Offroad. Can they find their way back to each other when it matters most?

Hello lovely readers,
Thank you so much for giving this fic a chance! To be completely honest, this one-shot has been the most difficult project I've worked on until now, not just in terms of the plot but also my time management (or lack thereof, let's be real). Would you believe me if I said I've been working on it ever since the first week of Lalalye??
Anyways, I truly hope you enjoy reading it, and it would mean the world to me if you left a comment to share your thoughts, good, bad, or somewhere in between. I'm open to it all!
Heads-up: This work is inspired by a few real-life events and based on real people when it comes to looks and personality traits. However, it is entirely fictional and does not aim to represent Daou and Offroad's relationship or them as individuals in real life. So I hope everyone can keep things light and fun!

In the world of the Thai music industry, Daou and Offroad are solo artists signed to competing record labels. Both are rising stars, with Daou known for his soulful ballads and magnetic stage presence, while Offroad is the edgy, rebellious rocker with a knack for creating chart-topping hits. Despite their success, their contrasting styles and the media's constant comparisons have bred a fierce rivalry between them.
When a prestigious music festival announces a special collaboration stage featuring Thailand's biggest stars, Daou and Offroad are reluctantly paired together. Neither is thrilled by the idea of working with the other, and the tension between them is high from the start. Daou finds Offroad's devil-may-care attitude infuriating, while Offroad sees Daou as uptight and too focused on perfection. Yet, beneath the surface, there's an undeniable chemistry in their music. When they sing together, their voices blend in a way that neither expected, creating something truly magical.
As they spend more time together, rehearsing late into the night and slowly breaking down each other's walls, they begin to see beyond the facade each has put up. Their relationship evolves from resentment to something deeper. Daou and Offroad have to navigate the pressures of fame, the meddling of their management, and their own insecurities to figure out if their partnership-and their feelings-are worth fighting for.
