The show stage design was an essential aspect of any organizer to do their best. Not just beautiful, but the elements must be eye-catching. It should be able to grab attention and motivate people to want them. Even though each organizing company had some of the best designers, there were only a handful of people who were at the forefront of their skills, and "The Idea" was one of them. The fairs, which Phat designed were often successful in terms of compliments and a steady flow of people, resulting in sales achieving the target, creating a lot of customer satisfaction.

The company had two designers, and both of them were overwhelmed by the tasks that they barely kept up with. Kriengsak accepted the launching event for famous brands of smartphones, then the boss assigned him to a doll store opening event. Since it was a niche work, the clients were usually working adults and quite wealthy. But the employer wanted to broaden the market and also add Cosplay to help attract more customers. The boss kept complaining about the stage elements. Phat did not show his frustration of having to revise the work many times. Today, too, after bringing the work to the boss for examination and commenting on what needed to be fixed, the young man took his work home, intending to finish it tonight. Stepping into Ran's room, who was reading a book, he saw him drop it, jumped out of bed, and ran to hug him with joy.

"P'Phat is back." The young man said, kissing the left and right cheek of the person who had just arrived from work and looked with bright, round eyes. The man gave a gentle smile before kissing his lover's forehead.

"I miss you." One kiss was not enough, so he stole another peck on the lips lightly and smiled wider.

Hearing that sentence, Ran's big eyes widened and he hurriedly left Phi's arms and ran to the refrigerator, poured water into a glass, and walked back to him with a smile.

"Water," With a very pampered expression and a bright smile that never disappeared from his face, creating a lot of happiness. Phat took that glass of water with joy and thought he was the luckiest man in the world to have a cute doll like Ran by his side, giving the encouragement to relax and get rest. At that moment, the young man realized that one of his boss's comments was too harsh. Perhaps he should put that feeling into the event.

Dolls were not just toys. It was a friend that helped to soothe your emotion. A person who could talk about anything and would never betray or hurt you.

An idea popped up in his mind that made the young man smile. He pulled Ran into a hug and pressed his nose on his soft hair, inhaled the fragrance until it filled his lungs with joy.

"Thank you very much." He tightened his arms around him, hugging the soft body close to his chest. Heart pounding with a warm touch and the scent of soft skin causing the giant man to nod his head. He wanted to bring the sweetheart to make love a couple of times. If the responsibility did not warn him to hold back that desire he would have. 'The event was more important' the young man repeatedly told himself and sighed in regret.

"I want to work first." He said softly as he loosened his embrace. Ran nodded his head. From being together for a long time and having seen the elder working many times before, the young man knew that the Phat was serious and required concentration to work.

"Yes" was a simple word that came out of the young fellow’s mouth, no shaking of the head and he looked with concern. "Have you eaten anything yet? Can you make fry eggs?"

Phat smiled and touched the head of the younger man, rocking gently.

"Wait a minute. Ran, are you hungry? Do you want to eat fried chicken?” The little boy made a mouth and tilted his neck. "Can I have a pizza?"

"Yes. The Hawaiian pizza!"

"Yes," Ran showed a happy expression and hurriedly spoke when he saw the elder pick up the phone to call. "Please give me a big tray so you can eat too."

Knowing that the other party was ordering food for him, the young man was still worried. So the older man smiled and talked to the operator. When he finished ordering and paying online, he pulled Ran into a hug.

"You work first. If Hawaiian pizza delivers Ran will receive it for you too."

"Yes."

The little boy told in a clear voice and smiled until his eyes closed. The older man was pretending to pull a bully Ran's nose, playing lightly before loosening the tie, folding the sleeves, and walking to the bathroom. He managed his personal business, washed his hands, and face to refresh, then sat at his work desk. As for Ran, seeing the elder open the laptop, he went back to bed, sitting cross-legged, admiring the wide back of his lover for a while, then picked up the book and continued reading. After turning over a few pages, there was a knock on the door, the young man hurriedly jumped from the bed to look at the peephole. Seeing that it was the pizza delivery guy, he opened it and put the food in the kitchen without forgetting to open the lid of the box a little. So that the hot heat did not make the pizza wet. The scent of cheese spreading against the nose was seductive and drooling. Ran wanted to pick up a piece, but when he turned to look at the elder man who was still busy working, the young man changed his mind.

He was really hungry, but couldn’t compare to the older man who was tired of today’s work. So he intended to wait to eat together. He left it aside and went back to reading his book. Looking up at the elder, it seemed that it would take a while before the work was done. Instead of picking up the tales, as usual, he picked up a novel with a colorful cover. For those of us who were just reading books, it might be a little difficult, but Ran wanted to practice better to help the elder man. Even if he's not doing well, at least he helped a little. That was intended, but the difficulty of the characters was mixed with the number of pages that were thicker than the story. After reading halfway through, the boy fell asleep. The elder man, who had been working for some time grew tired and stretched out his arms to expel the aching pain, turned around and saw Ran and walked over and wrapped him in a quilt and kissed Ran's forehead. But when he saw a box full of pizza, he was shocked.

His lover hadn't eaten anything yet?

The young man exhaled lightly, knowing that Ran would not touch the food because he was worried that he wanted to wait to eat together. Phat then went back to bed and sat down beside the sleeping person, looked with loving eyes, and gently stroked the younger person's head.

"Ran," He called in a soft voice and smiled as his little boy raised his eyes and gave him a cute smile

"P'Phat" Ran’s said in a muffled voice like a person who just woke up. He sat up, "Are you done working?"

"Not yet," Phat answered briefly as he looked at his lover who was sitting and pouting towards him. He went to give him a peck on the lips.

"Did you not eat yet?" Ran shook his head.

"Wait and eat with me."

"After telling me that you are hungry, you didn't eat. Let’s eat first. My work won't be finished on time."

The young man spoke in a smooth voice, sounding ferocious. Ran was upset because he didn't think he was angry.

"It's like Ran is taking advantage," said the young boy. Phat raised his eyebrows and repeated the word.

"Exploit."

"P'Phat works alone while Ran is just sitting around, doing nothing. It's like, Ran is eating for free.” The younger person spoke in a contrite(apologetic) way, in contrast to what the elder man was saying.

"Do you know this word too?"

"Yes?" Ran blinked his eyes, exhaling because he didn't understand the question. The elder said.

"Be enslave."

"Oh, I read it in this book," the young man answered in a clear voice while raising the novel. "If not mistaken, it means taking advantage of others in the workplace. Just like Ran is doing now."

The dark eyebrows of the elder man raised in surprise when he saw the title of the book his lover was holding. It was a fantasy and adventure translation novel that was quite difficult for people to read. He could not believe that Ran could understand it.

"Read it too?"

"A little bit," replied the little man, embarrassed and tilted his neck.

"Ran, are you alright?" It's a straightforward question. Making people who heard it have to gasp in Ran's innocence. Phat’s lover was like a young child. He pulled Ran to hug and kiss lightly on his forehead.

"Not at all. Although Ran could not help with Phi’s work, Ran was motivated by just looking at P'Phat and Ran wants to make you happy." He said in a soft voice while looking at his lover with pure round eyes.

"Really?" Ran emphasized that he was not confident that he would benefit him so much. So he got another kiss on his cheek before answering.

"Have I ever lied to Ran?" Phat said, squeezing the tip of the younger person's nose lightly. "Stop talking about it. Let's go to eat pizza."

Ran got off the bed, ran quickly into the kitchen to open the pizza box. The young man made a face and looked at the elder man.

"It's all cold, P'Phat. Can you reheat it?"

The voice who asked with big eyes and looking straight up with question marks sounded so sweet that the elder man couldn't help but smile.

"Yes. Reheat it real quick, otherwise, it will be hard and not tasty."

“Yes,” Ran answered promptly, transferring pizza from the box to a plate to heat in the microwave. When finished, both of them sat at the dinner table together. Even though it looked simple, the atmosphere was filled with happiness. Phat told about his accelerating job that made the other person aware of it as well. Talking about that with his lover was like a relief from the stress that had been accumulated since he started working. Ran was listening and encouraging him. Even in simple words, like that of a child, the elder suddenly felt refreshed and rested. He looked at the cute man who was chewing with a heart full of happiness. When he saw the cheese crumbs at the edge of his young lover’s mouth, he bowed down and wiped it off with the tip of his tongue. Ran was startled and retreated with a shameful expression.

"What are you doing?"

“Ran messed up with cheese,” Phat replied with a grin, which made the younger man pout.

"You can use a tissue to wipe it."

"Well," the older man dragged his voice and gave a sinister smile. "You didn't pick it up."

"How could I not pick up the tissues on the table?" P'Phat teased Ran. The beautiful doll made a loud noise and hummed. Such a cute gesture made Phat want to eat the boy instead of pizza. But when he saw the embarrassment of his lover, he changed his mind. Sitting with his feet raised on the chair and chin on his knee, the eating posture that looked like a child, Ran instead has a polite manner, like a well-trained young lady. That was, the program of the company was unlikely. Because Ran was just a rubber doll that was made to satisfy sexual desires. Even the most beautiful and best could be said to be superior to all that had been seen. At this point, the elder man raised his eyebrows and kept the nagging questions to himself. Even if this young man is obsessed with his lover, sometimes he couldn't help but wonder how could Ran come to life?

"What are you thinking?" When Ran saw the elder sitting with his chin on his knee made his face look like he was thinking hard. The young man asked with concern, tilted his neck, and smiled.

"None."

"Your eyebrows are connected and you still deny anything?" Ran said knowingly and breathed gently. The young man said, eager to pick up the plates on the table. Seeing the remaining two pizzas, he turned to P’ Phat. "Are you full?"

Surprised by the question, because the pizza was Ran's favorite. No matter how big the tray was, it will be gone in no time. The elder man didn't answer, but instead nodded and made a sound through his throat.

"Ugh."

"Then Ran will put the rest in the refrigerator for you to eat tonight. If you are hungry, tell Ran to warm it.”

Phat smiled at the younger one. "No need, Ran. Go to sleep. I'm okay. "

The little man shook his head with a pointed mouth.

"No. Ran wants to be fussy." 

The young man laughed at his lover's fussiness. He took Ran to hug him and kissed his full lips softly. The sweetness in taste and the scent of the rich body skin emanating from the person in his embrace made the elder man want to do more. But because of the work that was waiting to be accomplished, he held back.

"I’ll stay here. You go to sleep."

"But."

"If I'm lonely, I’ll let you know," said the elder man, poking the younger man’s cheek with a smile.

"Okay." Ran giggled and nodded reluctantly.

Hearing the lover saying it like it was easy, Phat then bent down sniffed on both sides of the cheeks, as if wanting to keep the soft scent of the body as a working battery. The young man stood looking at Ran picking up the bowl before returning to finish work he had left. Staring at the sketch paper and the screen, he sat writing for a while until his body began to tire him. Resting his eyes, stretching his arms, twisting himself to expel the ache, turning to the bed and seeing Ran asleep with a book spread down on his chest. He got up from the chair and took it out to see the lover's neckline opened wide until he saw the slender mound. Even though he saw it every day and played with each other a lot, the elder man couldn't help but smile. He put his finger on the white skin, touched his lover as lightly as possible because he didn't want him to wake up. He was determined to rub enough to be happy and return to work, but that thought had to stop when something faded outside the left side of Ran. The curiosity made Phat looked down to look, although not so clear, he could see that it was exactly the same as the character he had seen in the manga.

Talisman.

The young man thought in a panic that he accidentally pressed his finger on his chest. Ran shouted softly, so he hurriedly closed his clothes, pulled the blanket over his lover, and moved himself away from the bed. That strange letter might be the key to Ran's life. The question was how does it work and what was the motive? The one who could give him these answers was the company that made the dolls.

No more delay, the elder man returned to the desk. He closed the design window and opened the doll maker website. The man did not hesitate at all when sending the message, knowing that it’s the only way to get answers. Not enough time to think about the right word.

The young man typed a message asking them about the black ink that appeared on the doll's body, choosing a flawed sentence to make the other person feel guilty to confess the truth. He re-read what he typed and without editing, he clicked send.

Then he turned to look at the sleeping young man on the bed and sighed softly before concentrating, then returned to finish his work. To make sure there was nothing wrong, the young man closed the laptop and crawled into bed. As soon as he laid down, Ran moved close and placed his hands over his chest. He tightened his arms around the young man and kissed the cute round head softly.

With the suspicion that stuck in his heart, he couldn't help but open his lover's shirt to see the strange mark again. But he was surprised to find that it had disappeared. “What does that mean?” The question was raised and he began to feel a little nervous, fearing that the letter would affect Ran's existence. The only thing that could clear up all worries was the answer from the doll company, which the young man hoped would be good. 

“And what if it's bad?” His heart bellowed in silence. He clenched his mouth as he looked down at the person in his arms. If it were true then he would find a way and try to do whatever it takes to keep Ran's life. Even if it cost him everything he had right now.
