chapter 1Behind the Velvet Rope
In the city's relentless pulse, the house stood apart—a secret oasis cradled by a blooming garden that whispered peace. Its walls were more than shelter; they were a canvas for passion and precision, bespoke craftsmanship breathing through every corner.
Inside, winay Thanachart well known as win settled into the comforting embrace of a bean bag in his studio. Wearing a simple blue T-shirt and black shorts, hair falling freely, he looked effortlessly striking. He tapped on his phone and the live stream began.
“Hey,” he said softly, voice calm and measured.Immediately, the comments poured in like waves crashing.
MusicFan520: “win! Show us your studio, please!”
BeatMakerZ: “Those instruments must cost a fortune!”
DramaLover88: “Acting AND producing? You do it all!”
win raised the phone higher, revealing a room bathed in warm light. Priceless instruments lined the walls: a vintage Gibson Les Paul hanging like a trophy, its sunburst finish almost glowing; a custom-built grand piano that gleamed under the spotlights; rows of analog synthesizers and mixing boards that looked like an audio engineer’s dream.
“This,” win said, voice soft but proud as he pointed to the Les Paul, “is my favorite — a ’59 reissue, the real deal. Took years to get it right.”He panned over his gear, showing a rare Moog synthesizer, a high-end mixing console with glowing meters, and multiple pairs of studio monitors perfectly arranged. “Every piece here is more than equipment. They’re the tools that turn ideas into sound.
”Fan reactions flooded the screen.
RichVibesOnly: “Man, your studio looks insane! Bet it cost a million 💸”
StudioGoals: “If I had gear like this, I’d never leave the studio!”
JealousMuch: “How does someone even afford this??”
LuxuryLifeFan: “Yup. Rich and talented. The dream combo.
”win's cold exterior flickered with a hint of amusement, but he remained silent, scanning the live chat with unreadable eyes.He shifted and held the phone, moving out of the studio, revealing more of the refined home, smoothly passing the doorway to a neon-lit gaming room.Cheers erupted as the gaming room lit up the screen.
GamerGal99: “Omg that gaming room tho! Show us inside!”
PixelKing44: “Bet you own every game out right now!”
But win, cool as ever, snapped the door closed with no comment.Laughs and teasing rolled in response:
MysteriousFan007: “win being mysterious… I like it 😂”
SilentWatcher: “Respecting his vibe, though. Not everyone’s chatty.”
Then the conversation flew to his upcoming birthday.
PartyAnimal22: “Two days till the big 22! Got my ticket locked in 🎉”
AgencyBuzz: “The event is gonna be wild! Can’t wait to see you live.”
AlexFanForever: “Please tell us Alex is coming! You two were magic on Midnight Echoes 🔥”
win’s jaw twitched under the faintest shadow. They only see the surface—never the story beneath.The moment broke when BigEye, his golden retriever, jumped onto his lap, tail wagging with pure joy.
“This is BigEye,” win said, more relaxed now, stroking the dog’s fur.
“Behave.”He sank back, staring at the comment feed, the chatter buzzing louder in his ears while he struggled for words.Suddenly, the door slammed open.
“Inn, I’m starving! Feed me!” a voice rang out
.A figure in a loose white T-shirt, hair falling in waves, flopped behind win on the floor.Instant chaos in the chat:
CuriousCat: “OMG who’s that??”
NewbieFan: “New roommate alert!”
LoveTracker: “Is he your boyfriend, win?!”
winayWatch: “Come on tell us!!”
Without a word, win ended the live, his face unreadable as he put the phone down, eyes drifting between BigEye and the newcomer curled beside him.His mind already preparing—for the flood of questions he’d have to face.But he doesn't care .But probably his agency would.He muted his phone as it is his break day and the live was to show his fans his studio.
