Lucky To Have Stayed Where We Have Stayed

[PART II]

"I would be more understanding and respectful of my time if I were you, Ohm!" Nanon answered frustratedly. "Our worlds don't revolve around each other. They never have. I don't understand why you're being so immature right now."

"Fine!" Ohm screamed. He vaguely noticed how Nanon's expression turned frosty at his outburst. "Fine. Be that way. Put less and less value on me, we'll see if you'll still have our friendship to return home to."

"Fine!" Nanon had screamed back, and the incredibly rare sound of Nanon Korapat Kirdpan losing his temper made him freeze and his blood run cold. "Not like I'm still interested in your friendship anyway if you're gonna be like this. Good riddance."

Then Nanon cut the video call off, promptly blocked him on all social media, and never talked to him again. For five years.

Since then, he had unexplainably lost interest in being paired with anybody else, despite his recent successful lakorn pairings and him and Nanon not having played lovers in years. It didn't make sense, but he's sure that the shift had been caused by his broken heart.

Not that he misses it, anyway. Because nobody had managed to top Nanon as the best romantic co-lead in his book, chemistry and synergy-wise, even after all these years.

Nobody else is worthy. Nobody.

Somehow, despite the mention of Nanon unearthing his long-buried memories, Ohm manages to stay in the present well enough to smile and answer: "Let's talk about the tie-up later. First, allow me to catch up with my dear buddy! So much has happened in our lives, we'd need at least a week of talking each other's ears off before we're officially caught up."

The press chuckles at that. The asker of the question grins toothily, blissfully oblivious of the havoc that he'd wreaked on Ohm. "Fair enough. Well, we'll keep our eyes peeled for news of a Kirdpan production starring Ohm Pawat Chittsawangdee in the near future."

He winks at the camera, making some of the female press squeal, and thanks his superior acting skills for helping him keep it together. "Stay tuned, everyone. It's gonna be mind blowing.

To Ohm's utter shock, he gets a message from him right the next day.

Director Nanon

@mynameisnanon

Hey stranger

Been a while

How've you been?

His mind spins. Nanon reaching out first is... from how Ohm knows - knew? - Nanon, no way in hell would he be the first to reach out after a fight. He apologizes in his own way in person, yes, but he would never be caught dead texting or calling to apologize first.

So Nanon reaching out to him shortly after returning to Thailand, after five years of radio silence is quite the plot twist.

Ohm Pawat

Oh god

Am I dreaming?

You're reaching out to me first? For real?
