Nai let out a groan of frustration as he settled on the couch. The warm-toned interior of the living room was quiet to his taste.
It hadn't been long since he stepped into his husband's 'apartment' from the private elevator. He had already tucked in his husband who had fallen asleep on the car they took.
"What am I going to do?" He clenched his hair.
He had no idea what he was going to do next. The whole wedding scenario was a huge turn in his life.
He didn't know how he was going to explain everything to his parents and his friends. His friends especially. Because he knew that those two might kill him for getting married without them attending the wedding. As long as he managed to pacify them, they would surely help him deal with his family.
He looked down at his phone. The group chat named 'Chaos with capital C' was open. It was the group that consisted of him and his two best friends.
He reread the message he had sent to the group on the way to the apartment. He was supposed to join them at Koh Samet for a small vacation of two days, that evening.
He obviously couldn't go there, as he suddenly got married and had a wasted husband to take care of. He had lied to them that an emergency came up at work and he wouldn't be joining the vacation with them.
If those two find out that it is a lie, he knows that they will tear him up and use firewood for the campfire.
His gaze fell on the shiny ring on his finger. "Fuck it!" He cursed and got up.
Nai decided to take a shower first. The expensive clothes he was wearing at the moment were starting to weigh down on him.
He picked up his bag and headed to the washroom. The bag was his emergency bag that he always kept in his car as he had the habit of working overtime and sleeping over at the office or some motel nearby.
The bag contained almost everything that he might need for an overnight stay, starting from toiletries to nightwear to clothes to wear for the next day.
After a refreshing shower, Nai got out of the washroom, only to find that the bed was empty. The husband he had tucked into the bed securely earlier was missing.
Just as he was about to move, he felt a pair of arms encircling his waist.
"Caught you," Zo whispered in his ear.
Nai turned around and saw that his husband was awake. "You look sober now."
"I was a bit tipsy earlier. But after the nap, it's all good. That little alcohol can't do much to me." Zo said proudly.
"It's good that you are awake. Take a bath. You reek of alcohol." Nai scrunched his face as he sniffed.
"Okay." Zo smiled and went inside the washroom to take a bath.
"There is something really wrong with this guy," Nai muttered to himself. He didn't know why Zo was smiling like an idiot as he looked at him.
His phone vibrated on the coffee table. He picked it up and saw that it was a call from his besties.
He went to the balcony to attend the call. As expected, both of them had called to question him about why he couldn't join them. He said that it was an emergency.
His friends weren't unreasonable people. They even agreed with him when he asked them to cancel the rest of the trip and come back ASAP because he badly needed their help.
Without many questions, the call was hung up. Nai walked inside and saw his freshly bathed husband sitting on the bed, waiting for him.
As soon as Zo saw him, he smiled widely.
Nai felt his heart drumming against his rib cage as he saw that smile. To him, Zo looked like a cute little kitten, 'God, why on earth is he smiling at me like that? Don't tell me that there is something wrong with his brain? Is that why Khun Moo ran away?'
"Young Master Zo" He greeted keeping all his thoughts to himself.
"Did you not like the decoration?" Zo asked.
"Huh?" Nai was stumped for a second. He then realized that Zo was referring to the floral decor that was done for the first night in the bridal room. "Of course I liked it. I was the one who oversaw the decorations. I am in charge of selecting and arranging everything."
"Then, why did you remove them? They were pretty." Zo said amicably. Even though he was drunk and partially asleep. He had vaguely seen the decorations. They were well done.
He had especially liked the floral path that was made to the bedroom, starting from the front door, with flickering flameless candles. It was really romantic. He loved it when Nai carried him all the way to the bedroom, walking through the path.
"Oh, that. I just felt that the floral smell was a bit overwhelming." Nai answered. The real reason was that he found it weird to sleep in between those many flowers.
Zo understood that Nai was lying. He smiled and stood up from the bed. "Did you remove everything because you thought that we were not going to have a wedding night tonight?"
Nai blinked. His feet subconsciously backed away as he watched Zo approaching him. He backed away until his back hit the wall.
"What happened, darling? You look scared." Zo cupped Nai's face. His smile had turned into a smirk.
"I- I am not scared." Nai stuttered, not because he was scared, but because he was nervous.
Who wouldn't be if they were in his position? It was not like a simple one-night stand that he wouldn't care if the person in front of him was a stranger or not, whom he might or might not meet ever again in his life.
The stranger in front of him was his husband. His husband with whom he was legally bound. The stranger with whom he might be spending the rest of his life. He was nervous but mostly excited.
"Don't be scared, darling," Zo whispered seductively.
Before Nai's brain could register what he just heard, his lips were sealed with his husband's. The weird feeling in his stomach became more prominent. The feeling of intense excitement and happiness filled his mind as he responded to the kiss.
His hand traveled to the back of his husband's head, pulling the taller one closer to him for a passionate kiss.
With every passing second, the kiss became more eager and needy, as if both of them were craving for it all along.
They pulled away after a few good long minutes and rested their foreheads on each other as they caught their breath.
"Your lips are really addictive. I couldn't get enough at the altar." Zo said as he panted in satisfaction.
Nai was turning into an even deeper shade of pink than he already was, hearing Zo's compliment.
"You are a good kisser." He complimented back. It wasn't merely a compliment. It was the best kiss he had to date, and no one could argue that.
"Likewise," Zo replied.

I don't know what kind of shitty luck I am having these days that all my favorite ships are sinking one by one. A few hours ago, I found out that James will be quitting NetJames ship to be an artist.
I had been waiting for the series 'Love Upon a Time' featuring NetJames for more than a year now and now I have to hear that James has withdrawn from the project and someone else will be taking his place as P' Net's partner. 😢😢😢 {James has already been removed from the cast list of Love Upon a Time in mydramalist.}
Even though I really don't understand how being on a ship would affect his career of being an artist, I would still support him wholeheartedly.
But the problem is that a lot of my drafts had them in main lead and second lead characters. I really don't know if I should keep them as such and continue with the drafts or replace them with some other ship.
If I have to change, that will mean that I might need to adjust the whole storyline in correspondence to the new ship.
I am a total wreck now. It was just this morning that I finished designing the cover of the new draft with NetJames as lead. Guess that project is going down the drain.
Anyway, let's get to the point.
1) Let's start with this project. As I have already introduced the characters, you already know that NetJames is a side character of this project. Should I continue with them or not?
2) For those who read 'Autumn is a second spring', one of the other novels in which James places the character of Boun's secretary, I am yet to introduce P' Net into the story. Should I or should I not introduce him?
3) For those who have read 'From Something to Everything' and have given me suggestions on my projects, you might have already seen the draft named 'Trapped in the Comic World' among the list of drafts I introduced to you back then. It is actually a multi-lead project with NetJames as one of the lead couples. So, should I still use them?
P' Net was supposed to play the role of Yuki, the younger brother of P' Ohm. The character is that of a cute, playful guy who is head over heels for Lux, the role played by James. If I have to replace the pair. Please suggest someone who would be suitable to take on the role of P' Ohm's younger brother.
[I had planned on uploading this one since P' Ohm's upcoming birthday. Guess that will have to wait for now.]
4) The situation for my draft 'Mission L: Finding love' is the same also the same as 'Trapped in the comic world'. NetJames is one of the central characters in the story. But luckily, I am yet to start drafting it. So, I think it would be possible to replace them. Should I?
This one might take a while to start being uploaded, depending on how my ongoing projects are going.
🛑🛑🛑🛑Please help. This is an emergency. Help me find some ships that are yet to sink to replace NetJames in the rest of the projects that I was aiming to include them in. 🛑🛑🛑🛑
Please don't get me wrong. I still do love them. But I respect James's wish to not be addressed as a 'bl actor'. So, please give me your suggestions.
