“I don’t even understand why people love children so much.” Prem emptied a whole bottle of water from the refrigerator and wiped his chin off the water droplets.

With one hand on his hips and the other on the refrigerator door, Prem was searching for something to eat.

He had spent the whole day with Fluke looking after the three kids.

Fluke couldn’t help but chuckle at Prem’s whining.

He knew very well that his childhood friend was not good at handling kids.

“Those devils just have too much energy.” Prem took the packet of chips Fluke offered.

“Hey, don’t call them devils. Aren’t they cute?” Fluke smiled mischievously.

“Cute, my foot.” Prem wanted to beat the crap out of his stupid friend who had the guts to stand in front of him and smile after all that he had to go through.

Prem was already tired from looking after the two girls for a day and night. He was hoping to get a break when he came to Fluke’s house knowing that the latter will take care of the kids. But never had he imagined that the two girls along with their cousin would gang upon him and literally make him a punching bag.

Prem had asked Fluke for help several times but the idiot had just joined the kids in bullying him.

The duo kicked and punched each other playfully as they made their way to the living area, settling themselves on the fluffy couch.

“I can’t believe you actually locked P’ Kao with Earth. Only you will have the guts to mess with the two.” Prem chuckled munching on the potato chips.

“I had no other option. I am so done with those two. If they are willing to communicate with each other, things will be sorted out in no time. But no, neither of them is willing to let go of their ego and make a move.” Fluke huffed in frustration over the situation.

Prem remained silent as he listened to Fluke ranting on about Kao and Earth’s relationship.

Fluke noticed Prem’s silence.

“What is it, Prem?” Fluke couldn’t help but ask seeing his friend looking at him with a serious expression.

“What about you, Fluke?” Prem asked in a serious tone.

“Me?” Fluke pointed at himself with a confused expression. “’ What’ about me?”

“You helped me and Hia sort things between us, you are mediating the issues between Earth and P’ Kao, and you are assisting Sammy plan surprises for P’ Ton. Then when it comes to your own case, why are you so lethargic?”

“I don’t understand what you are talking about.”

“Quit playing dumb Fluke. I’m talking about you and P’ Ohm.”

Fluke looked down.

“Fluke, I may not know you as much as Earth does, but I can still see your feelings for P’ Ohm. It is clear as a day. When do you plan on confessing your feelings? I don’t believe that you are the kind of person that would sit around and wait for the other party to make a move.” Prem crumbled the plastic wrap of the chips.

Fluke exhaled deeply before speaking “I just want a confirmation before I make a move.”

“Confirmation? About what?”

“About my own feelings and about how P’ Ohm’s as well.” Fluke adjusted the cushions and lay down on the couch staring at the ceiling.

“Are you afraid of being rejected?”

“Not really. I think it would be okay to be rejected. After all, not everyone gets lucky when it comes to love. But the problem is that the other party is P’ Ohm.”

“I don’t understand what you are trying to say, Fluke.”

Fluke turned his body to face Prem.

“P’ Ohm… how should I put it… P’ Ohm is a very important person to me, Prem. Someone I want to have by my side. If I suddenly confess my feelings to him and he doesn’t reciprocate them, then it would make things pretty awkward. Especially when we will have to face each other every day for shooting, practice, promotions and other stuff. He may feel uncomfortable having me around.”

“But I think P’ Ohm feels the same.

Haven’t you noticed how he treats you? He always takes care of you.” Prem said emphasizing the events when Ohm had paid extra attention to Fluke.

“P’ Ohm has always been caring. Ever since we were young. But it is just a phi-nong instinct he has.”

“No way. I don’t think so.”

“He has already got a fiancée too.”

“Didn’t Fame tell you that nothing is finalized?”

“Fame did tell me. But P’ Ohm didn’t. If he actually liked me in that way, he would have told me himself or would have explained the situation to me to avoid any kind of misunderstanding. But he didn’t. He didn’t utter a word about the engagement. In fact, he was angry at me for getting close to Dream.”

“He was angry that you were close to Dream or Fame?”

“Dream. He knew that there is nothing between me and Fame.”

“Then isn’t it a good sign?” Prem blinked in confusion.

“I don’t think it is a good sign, Prem. When you are in love with a person, wouldn’t you be happy when you see them getting close to your family? It is not just Dream. During the party, I met his Lung as well. You should have seen his face when he saw me talking to him. Also, him asking me to go on stage to perform, it was almost as if he didn’t want me to talk to his family members.”

“I think you are overthinking here.”

“No, Prem. I could feel it. He was smiling at me but I could see that his smile was not real. It looked as if he was forced to smile at me. I got the feeling that I shouldn’t have shown up at the party in the first place.”

Prem handed him a can of beer he grabbed from the fridge.

“Now that you mention it, I think you are right. He didn’t seem very pleased that day.” Prem opened the can of beer and took a sip.

“He even warned me to stay away from Dream. I don’t know how he is going to react when he finds that Dream is paired opposite me in the series.” 

“What? P’ Ohm wanted you to stay away from Dream?” Prem jumped up and sat down in the hero pose. “Then why didn’t you reject them when they suggested casting Dream as your partner?”

“Prem, I don’t have a say in deciding the cast. I could give opinions but can’t actually reject someone selected by the agency and investor when I am a rookie myself. Also, Dream is like my own Nong. If she gets to know that I rejected her being my partner, then how would she feel?”

“Things are way more complicated than I expected.” Prem chugged down the whole can of beer.
