JJ'S POV
I stalked her account. Shia, she's so cute. Upon stalking, A notification popped up in my screen. I clicked it.
Keiryp Resché liked your comment
WTF! I GOT SO MANY BUTTERFLIES IN MY STOMACH RIGHT NOW WAAAAAAHHH!!!!!
(kilig yarn? -kal)
I screamed and jumped out of my bed. I'm so happy about these little things. I'm in the middle of screaming when AJ throws a pillow exactly on my face.
"Alai wah?" I looked at him and gave a mad face. "Stop being so loud. Respect people who don't have a crush. Respect me" He replied putting our merchandise in plastic then he smiled. "Woah, time flies. My brother's 'gonna be taken soon" he added. "We're not sure, bro. She looks like she liked someone else." I said and lay in my bed while looking at the ceiling. Aj's head swayed like he's saying no then he continued packing our merchandise. "But she liked my comment AAAAAAA!" I screamed and put a pillow on my face.

KEIRYP'S POV
My works go smoothly because of P'Khaotung. Ma'am Malia doesn't go with me anymore because she trusts me and she found a new job here. He recommends me to other actors and actresses. All thanks to him. I should give him a thank you gift.
The next day, I went to Watsons to buy a simple gift for him. I looked around until I saw the perfect gift for him.
Nars Radiant Creamy Concealer.
Since he likes to sleep late because of watching series, I chose this. It's the best concealer that can hide your eye bags and be confident while enjoying the things you love like watching series until it's late.
I also bought a box and a wrapper for my gift. When I got home, I received a text from P'Khaotung.
Next schedule: Same place near "The Gifted"'s shooting location. 2 pm. Don't be late because we're almost done shooting "TonhonChonlatee Season 2
I replied. Okay kha, P'Khaotung. Thank you. See ya!
The next morning, I went to the set 30 minutes before the shoot starts. As usual, I did my work. I took good care of P'Khaotung until the shoot ends.
"Okay, Cut!"
While taking a break, my phone vibrates. I excused myself to P'Khaotung and answered the call. It's P'Jj.

"Hello, Phi!" I greeted.
"Thank God, you answered!" He said. He sounded relieved.
"Sorry kha Phi! I'm working now at P'Khaotung. Uhm..... By the way, why did you call?" I answered while looking at the back of P'Khaotung. In case that he'll call me to assist him.
"Our make-up artist didn't show today and we have a shoot in 2 hours. Can you come today?" He explained
"Sure Phi but can you come here to help me? I have a lot of bags to carry." I said.
"Sure, sure, sure! Let me know if you're finished." He said. I guess... He's happy?.
"Okay, Phi. Can I call my friend? She's very good at make-up too so we can finish this asap." I said.
"Okay, okay. Babye." He said.

(In a call with Allison)
"Oh, napatawag ka?"
"Free ka ba ngayon? Hindi raw kase sinipot ng make-up artist yung TGG cast."
"Tapos?"
"Tinanong ako kanina kung p'wede akong mag make-up sa kanila tapos sabi ko kung p'wede ba kitang isama"
"Go on"
"G ka ba? Andoon si Jj"
"s**t! OO NGA! G! SEND MO SA AKIN LOCATION. MAGBIBIHIS NA AKO."
"Kalma HAHAHHAHHA. Sige isesend ko sa'yo now. Ingat ka, Ali"

Finally. The shoot is done. I went to the make-up room to grab my things and my gift. I walked outside and went to P'Khaotung.
"Uhm... Phi! I have something to give you" I said while he's putting his bags in his compartment. "Sure. What is it?" He stopped and faced me. "Uhm... It's a thank you gift. It's not that pretty but I hope you appreciate it." I said while giving my present to him. "Oh, it's fine. You don't have to do this." He said and accepted the gift. "I should thank you for recommending me to other actors and actresses. My career became smooth because of you so I bought that." I said as he opens the gift. "Uhm... That's the best concealer I know and the one I used on your face for the first time. I hope you liked it." I added. "Thank you so much, Nong but I think I just did what I can do to help other people. Besides, you're really good at handling customers so why not I recommend you to my friends. I'll use this." He said and pat my head and shoulder. We're happy. "Thank you P'Khaotung." I said.
I looked around and saw Allison looking for me. I waved my hands and I walked to her location. Minutes later I saw Jj and Aj running towards us.
But something is different. He's not smiling at me. Nevermind. Allison whispered to me. "OMG! Salamat sa pagsama mo sa akin. Nakita ko rin si Jj, napakagwapo. iiiiiiihhhhhhh" Ningitian ko na lamang siya. Aj and Jj grabbed our bags and we went to the set of "The Gifted Season 3". I let Allison do the make-up of Jj since it's her dream, plus she has a big crush on Jj. I did the make-up of Aj, Prim, Jane, and Fiat. Allison did the make-up of Jj, Phuwintang, Lily, and Chimon.
At last. We're done. The shoot began and we diced to wait in the make-up room to rest. Allison and I talked for a couple of minutes while massaging our own hands when somebody came in the room. It's one of the biggest BL actors in Thailand, g*n Attaphan Punsawat.
I was shocked because he's my idol since then. His acting skills deserve an award. I'm still in shock so Allison taps my legs. I looked at her and we stand up. We greeted them but they didn't notice us. When we're about to go out, Allison ran because of shyness and she got starstruck. Someone called me and I think it's his manager. I faced and greeted them.
"S-sawadeekha, Keiryp na kha. What can I do for you?" I said while my legs are trembling. "Oh, so you're Keiryp. Finally! Nice to meet you. I heard your make-up skills were great." The manager said and did shake hands with me. "P' we need to hurry, I have a shoot. The next scene will be my scene." g*n interrupt and sat in front of the mirror. "So, Can you do the make-up for g*n? We're late because he has a shoot in OffGun Fun Night. We'll pay you." The manager explained. "Y-yes kha Phi! But why me?" I said and my legs were still trembling. "Because we heard you're great plus the make-up artist didn't come today. Hurry up." The manager said as he grabs my hand. "You can do that. Susu na krap N'Keiryp! We're leaving" He added. "Sawadeekrap/kha" P'g*n and I said.
I started sanitizing my hands. I was shaking so the alcohol slipped away in my hands. "Relax." P'g*n said. "Sorry phi. I'm your fan so I'm nervous. Sorry." I said while bowing. "Relax, I'm just a person like you. I'll give you time to talk later if you do a great job now. How's that?" He said. "O-okay phi! Khop kun na kha" I said and started to put make-ups on his face.
Shia! His face is too soft and smooth. I can feel every breath of him. I grabbed a lip balm in my make-up bag. I'm about to put it on his lips when he grabbed my hand. "What are you doing?" He said while looking in my hands. "Uhm... I'm putting this Burt's Bees Original Beeswax Lip Balm. You have a beautiful lip so I was thinking to put it on you." I said. "I don't use different brands because my lips were sensitive." He said while putting my hands away. "Oh, This is the best lip balm so far Phi! It has many vitamins E so it'll nourish your lips even more. How about this, you'll try this lip balm and if it doesn't work, we'll cancel the deal." I said confidently. "O-okay. Hurry." He said. The make-up is already done. And the shoot goes well.
Gun walked inside the make-up room. "I think the lip balm was nice. It didn't feel uncomfortable and itchy." He said as he sits beside me. "I told you Phi!" I said and we smiled towards each other. "You're good in make-up and handling your customers plus you're choosing the best product. No wonder why N'Khaotung recommends you. Great work!" He said and our conversation started.
"So how long have you been working here?" He asked
"Uhm, 2 months?"
"What's your reason why you're here?"
"Uhmm....." I said and sighed.
"Is there a problem? Did I say something wrong? Sorry, Nong." He said and looked at me.
"No phi. Uhm... My mother and father died in a car crash 4 years ago. My grandmother raised me so I need to work abroad for her medicines and stuff she needs. She's old too so I need to take care of her expenses." I said.
"Sorry, Nong."
'No, no, no. It's alright P'Gun."
"You know, My mother died many years ago too. You just need to be strong because many people are depending on you. Many people are believing in you." He said and looked far.
"Thank you, P'g*n. By the way, I'm your fan. I really liked how you act hehe. BL series is my escape in this mad world. I'd like to thank you for existing. You made me so much happy and inspired." I said.
"Oh, thanks. That really touched my heart. You know what, I'm losing my confidence these past few days so I'm glad you said that. My confidence came back. Thank you." He said and smiled once again.
We talked about my experiences and about my idols. It feels like I have a parent since it's been too long since I talked to someone like this. I hold up my tears and just smile.
"You know Phi, I'm glad that we're talking. It's been years since I talked to someone like this. It feels like you're my parent hehe." I said.
"I'm glad that I'm making someone comfortable, happy, and inspired." He said and tapped my shoulder.
We're happy.

JJ'S POV
I saw it all.
I saw how she smiled towards P'Khaotung. She also gave a gift to P'Khao. Heh. I saw P'g*n and P'Khaotung tapped her shoulders. I saw how she reacts to their movements.
Perhaps, she like older guys? Why she's not smiling like that to me? Why she's not sharing stories with me?
Am I....... Just a friend to her?
Why she didn't look at me like that?
Am I...... Not handsome?
Am I...... not enough?
Am I.....
Jealous?
Yeah..... I think so.
