I couldn't come up with a plausible lie to convince Nate that he couldn't meet my "mother-in-law". So at the appointed time, there I was, in front of his door, holding a bottle of French wine on one side and insecurity on the other. Before I ring the doorbell, the door is opened by a woman apparently middle-aged, with shoulder-length hair, round face and slanted eyes like mine. She smiles happily at me.
— You're punctual, I'm glad you came!
— Thank you! I brought this wine, I don't know if you like it...
Nate 's mom invites me in, and makes me extremely comfortable. She is so cheerful, affectionate, it's no wonder he talks about her time with great affection. In her speech, you can see how proud she is of her only child, and how much she must have struggled to raise him alone. The dinner was delicious, along with the conversation, I never smile so much at a family dinner, Nate 's mother told some of her son's adventures, and also told in detail, in an amusing way, how she received the news that her son would act in a BL, with that, he asks something.
— What do your parents think of all this? — I hear her question, stare at her, and my smile fades. But she seems to know something is wrong. — Do they not accept your profession, or do they not know that you are acting in a BL series?
— Both. They never accepted the fact that I studied acting. I took the course hidden from them. I had to invent a lot of lies to get the role in the series. They know I'm acting, but they don't know the show is a BL drama.
— Have you tried telling them? — Nate asks interested.
— Not yet, I think I'll tell you when the first trailer comes out. They won't be able to stop me, the series will already be practically all recorded, they won't have anything to do...
— But would they stop you?
— I don't know if Nate has already commented to you, but my family has a well-regarded heritage in and out of the country, and money was never an issue in my family, so they could pay the severance pay and get me out of this project without that I knew. That's why I want you to find out when it's almost finished. I know it will be difficult, but so far they haven't found anything.

The conversation with Nate and his mother about my family dramas was very comforting. Your mother has given me a lot of advice about my parents, but I know I'm not ready to tell you yet. Nate invited me to play the fifth episode lines in his room. I confess that this did not please me much, as I have avoided any closer contact, but it seems that it is something inevitable at the moment.
— I think Wanchai must have some problem, it's not possible that he doesn't understand that Thirasak accepted the fake relationship because there is some love interest... It's not possible! What do you think, Will? — he asks me, I look at his room, and I remember the scene we recorded, when Wanchai meets Thirasak 's room . — What is it? You seem to pay more attention to my room than to me!
— It's just that I remembered when Wanchai met Thirasak 's room ... But don't worry, your room doesn't look like his. I say, and he smiles. — I liked the decor, the miniature cars on the boards, your bed is not on the floor like his, the walls, the curtains and the furniture are all white. In Thirasak 's house it's all dark, when I read the novel I thought he was a vampire.
He and I burst out laughing. I think when we're done recording I'll miss our conversations, your laughter, your smile, your... Will , you better stop! He lies on the bed, and reads something from the script.
— This part is very sad, I don't know if I want to kill Wanchai , or kiss him.
I look at his face, he looks thoughtful, and I'm extremely lost, I think I'd better go away. I avoided him for a while, and now I'm here in his room, and he says something like this, my confused head can't take it. Before I do anything, he anticipates.
— Will, look at this!
— What? — I say and he pulls me down next to him. What the hell, Nate , you don't cooperate! I lie down and face him. ' What's so interesting? '
— Wanchai 's line , he says he's going to hit on the girl, but he's realizing that Thirasak is bad for him, and...
As he talks about his outrage at my character, I stare at him. His face is inches from mine. Wow, how handsome he is! Your mouth is beautiful, it looks so kissable ... Stop it, Will! My heart is beating wildly, he stops reading the script and his beautiful eyes look at me with curiosity, I feel an uncontrollable urge to kiss him, he is stronger than me, I bring my hand to his face, and I caress him, he looks at me scared. Maybe this could be the perfect time for a kiss? I don't know, but before I make a move, we're surprised by someone who enters the room without knocking.
— What's going on here?
WillHis arms squeeze me even tighter, I wrap mine around his neck, while my tongue meets his. All these days without any contact have made me sad and moody. His hands begin a pleasant play on my back, moving up and down my back, caressing me and making me want to surrender to the moment even more. Our kiss is hungry. I want to devour his mouth, and he wants the same, and his body gently pushes mine somewhere, until I feel the wall behind me. My body is pressed together in a way that I know where we will be in a few minutes, especially if we keep kissing like this, we will both be hard.I stop the kiss, and push him away slightly, because Nate doesn't want to let go. I meet his confused gaze.— What is it, love? Don't you want to?— Of course I want to!— So, what is the problem?— Where will we do it? On the ground?— Of course not!— Another thing, whose house is this? Relax... This room has nothing, but the one next door has a great bed, an amazing bathroom with a tu
WillLyn's screams startle me, I look toward the house, and it is still dark. I hurry my steps and arrive in front of the door. My hand touches the doorknob, I turn it, and it opens. I enter the house. I turn on the flashlight on my cell phone, look around hoping to find a light switch, and to my surprise I find one near the door, I touch it and the light goes on. I call out to my sister, but get no answer from her, my heart squeezes, and a slight chill passes through my stomach. I look around me, at what seems to be a small entrance hall. There is a large staircase with golden handrails, and in front of me a wide, glazed door. I open it, and once again look for a switch. When I finally manage to find it, along with the glow of the lamp comes the surprise, the room appears to be a living room. Its white walls, a large chandelier in the center of the room, but there is not a single piece of furniture in the entire space. I begin to think that my sister might be fooling me, or wors
WillThe days have dragged on, and I still haven't spoken to Nate. Today, Valentine's Day, we could be somewhere enjoying our company, but my boyfriend will be pretending to be a couple with an actress, to promote a series that has no audience. I may be being selfish, I know that, but I would never submit to this for the sake of work, I feel extremely frustrated. My mind feels like it is going to explode from thinking about it all the time. I stare at Lyn, sitting in front of me in the restaurant, she watches me intently, runs her hand under her hair, puts her elbow on the table, does the thinker's position, and speaks.— What did you come here for?— Dinner!— It doesn't look like it, you stare at nothing, and you haven't even touched your plate!— I will eat, don't worry!— Why don't you send him a message? Schedule something after he leaves the live?— No, because there's no way he could see my message, by now the live broadcast has already started, and I don't want to talk to
WillIf there is one thing I understand in our profession, it is the advertising that is done to promote a series, but I don't like this new job of Nate's because of our manager's insistence on something that didn't work out. Sometimes it crosses my mind that somehow he doesn't accept our relationship, and that's why he insists so much that we can't be seen together. I know that all this could be just jealousy on my part, something I try not to develop, especially in relation to work, but lately it has become unavoidable, and I don't like to see my boyfriend with Lily.Hearing him say about faking a dating that doesn't exist makes me uncomfortable, and I don't know what to say, I just watch as he hangs up the phone and looks at me waiting for something.— Did you hear it? — he asks and I just shake my head. I get up, walk to the closet, grab some clothes, put them on, and go back to the bedroom. — Can we talk?— Talk? What for?— Will, do you understand that I can't do a
EpilogueWill— Didn't you do it because you didn't mean it? You don't even watch the Lakorn to support me, you don't comment on your social networks, you're not helping me engage!— Nate, what do you want me to do? The story is bad, it's toxic, nobody wants to watch it, and besides, Lily is not a good actress, and the couple you make in this series is horrible, with no chemistry!— Wow, how supportive my boyfriend is!— It's true, and I told you not to embark on this idea, but you didn't listen and thought it would be a success!— Is it the truth, or are you just dying of jealousy?— Me? Jealous of you? Stop being cocky, Nate!— You are jealous, yes!— I am not jealous, and I warned you about this project, but you insisted because you listened to our manager.— I know, but it would be a great opportunity to be in prime time on broadcast TV, and...— We got more audience when we acted in Fake D8, it was not in prime time, and...— What do you mean, Will?— I mean that w
EpilogueWillI didn't know how to cry, that is, I was raised thinking that I couldn't shed a tear, and that it was synonymous with weakness for a man. However, I created so many uncertainties about my life, and I hid myself inside a tight closet, pretending to be someone I wasn't, to quiet my parents' hearts, and with that I lived stuck without being able to do what I really wanted to do, to be the real Will. The one who wanted to act, dance, cry, and love a man.Almost three years ago I met a guy who helped me to change this story. I confess that it was not easy at all, and in the beginning I thought he was an arrogant, intimidating guy who had an image of a sexy straight boy who is always going out with thousands of girls, at least that's what I believed, however, the sexy straight boy fell in love with the real Will, the one who before couldn't cry. The two started to find out who they really were, what they felt for each other, and this feeling became intense for both of them.
