Nan finished the announcement event on campus the day after she talked with Prof. Fon. Today is the day of Nan, Veo, and Prof. Fon to meet the sponsor and the production team.
They choose a meeting point in front of the office building and Prof. Fon leads them to a meeting room on the 12th floor. When they came, there is a three-person sitting there, seems to seriously talk about something. Nan and Veo look at each other confused. Then, Prof. Fon start talking.
"Okay, Nan, Veo... Let me introduce you, this is the production team that we will work with this several months. This is Rom as Production Manager, Taw the Stunt Manager, and Min will help you as the Script Supervisor"
After Prof. Fon introduced them, she look at her phone and told Nan and the others to wait in the room. Then Nan and Veo start to introduce themself.
"Hello, I am Nan"
"Hello, I am Veo"
they both introducing themself, but still, feel kinda out of place. But, Min the script supervisor is humble, she start talking to Nan and Veo, asking.
"Hey, who is the one who write the script?"
"I am."
Answered Nan agitated.
"Ah, it's really you?! Okay, I am gonna say this honestly your writing is good, I really like it. It's has a light feeling, It's like if I were to imagine it to some kind of video transition, this is soooo smooth and easy to accept. I thought this will be popular. Don't you think, Taw?"
Min said excitedly.
"Yeah, I also think that way too. When I read it, a few options for actor and actresses come to mind"
Taw agreed.
"Thank you for the compliment, I'm honored"
Answered Nan half-bowing.
"Oh come on! You're waaay to formal"
Min raised her voice a bit.
"I'm sorry"
Nan said.
"LOL she's cute doesn't she?"
Min said while laughing, looking to Rom
"I agree"
Rom said.
Passed that joke everyone laughs there. Then they start to talk about other things like the announcement event, their university, faculty, lecturers and etc. Well, it just happens like that, but this atmosphere help Nan a bit relaxed.
*****
A few minutes later, Prof. Fon comes in with a man who is the sponsor of this competition and the upcoming series, Mr. Oat. All people in the meeting room include Nan and Veo are standing to greet him, then we sat together.
Nan remembers that yesterday she and Veo is talking about his name that sounds tasty. Then, Veo touched Nan and whispered.
"Well, he seems tasty." Veo said
"Are you crazy? Stop it." Nan starting to get pissed.
Veo is holding his laugh. His jokes are working because he said Mr. Oat tasty when his appearance shows he already has 2 or 3 children.
******
After we sat down. the meeting hasn't done because we still waiting for someone. Nan and Veo don't know who else they are waiting for when the sponsor is already here. At the time Mr. Oat's phone is ringing, he picked up the phone and said.
"Oh, you're here? Okay"
"He'll be here soon. Sorry, we should wait for him, he's also one of the conditions that I want to add to this project."
"He's your son, right?"
"Yes, from his previous job I realized he got talent in this industry. but, before he had a female role. He really wanted to act as the male role so I want to help him a bit."
Nan's eyes widen. she just realized something. One thing that is very important to her. One thing that starts all of this also the reason for achieving her dream.
BL ACTORS is the biggest source of motivation deep in her heart, the thing that gave her to do what it takes to win the contest. She got her spirit back. She didn't care, It can be anyone, as long as it was a BL actor she'll be happy. But, who is Mr. Oat's son?
*CLACKED* the door opened.
Nan feels as if her heart stopped for a moment. She looked at the downside of the door and a man is entering the room and it was the actor also the son of Mr. Oat, Din Vichakorn.
Nan and Veo look at each other, remembering that they met Din before at Tap's restaurant. Din looked at them and unintentionally gave a reaction, he seemed surprised. Three of us look at each other, still didn't believe it.
"Do you guys know each other?" Prof. Fon asked Din.
"Ah, a bit, I guess. We've met before." answered Din.
"Nice to see you again, in this coincidence." said Din to Nan and Veo.
Nan and Veo smiled and said similar words.
"Well, it is a good thing you already know each other. I would become an advantage for the process. Then, shall we start?"
Said Mr. Oat and also the sign to start the meeting.
Then the meeting started. Start from the official introduction each person, job descriptions, Nan's presentation of the story of "Artificial Boyfriend", the project timeline, term and condition from sponsors, the main roles options beside Win. It takes about 4 hours straight and everything is finally done.
Nan is looking at her note that she keeps writing ever since the others giving the instructions and she suddenly feels small. There is a lot going on her head. Nan knows this since she's in Prof. Fon office that she has some kind of culture shock.
Veo is talking to Prof. Fon at that time and Din notice that Nan froze on her chair. He comes closer and pokes her.
"oh!" surprised Nan.
"Sorry, did I surprised you?" Din said.
"No, no it's okay. What's wrong?"
"Well.....(to be continued)"
explained Din.
