He picked a good one!

"Wow, he's totally my type!" one of the female staff whispered to another, "I swear, all the hot guys are either taken or gay!...or gay and taken." the other woman whispered back.

As Nikolai acted out his scene, Jin was behind cameras sitting Besides the director, watching in awe as Nikolai and the female lead finally acted the scene after practicing all morning.

Jin was amazed with how incredibly good their performance was, but he was Also very impressed by how friendly and well liked Nikolai was amongst the staff and everyone else there, as he remembered Nikolai wasn't so extroverted nor tolerant of people back in highschool.

"And Cut!...Let's take a two hours break, I'm being generous here so anyone who wants a nap, this is your chance!" A bearded chubby man that looks like a typical white middle aged dad with glasses, spoke up.

This man was the director of the movie, and although he seemed Scary at first to Jin, he was very cheerful and welcoming to Jin when Nikolai brought him to the set, he made Jin sit Besides of him.

"Kimberly, Nikolai!...the scene was great, but it could've been perfect.

Next time, You two need to show more chemistry between one another, you're supposed to be lovers in this story." the director spoke again.

"Director Cliff, that's Easier said than done...We're both gay." Nikolai said jokingly, Kimberly chuckled at him "so very gay." she replied.

Sighing, "You two...Be serious! you need to portray the characters exactly how I envisioned them." Director Cliff said.

"I think they were great! They worked well together...And personally I think the romance thing is the problem...in real life people would prefer if these two portrayed a friendship more than a romantic relationship!

like an innocent, Female and male friendship with no romance involved, and with lot of comedy, jokes and wholesome friendship moments.

And you see it all over the internet how people are choosing themselves and their friends over having partners.

Because, Friendship is the Best Relationship In the world." Jin spoke-up, but he immediately regretted his decision when everyone turned to stare at him, making him blush.

"Sorry, didn't mean to...interfere, I know you guys have already wrote a script and stuff, I just thought I'd give my opinion." Jin apologized.

"Actually, that's brilliant kid!...Alright drastic change! we're changing the Genre...this is no longer a romance blossoming between the leads, it's friendship forever baby!

Let's Take a much longer break, focus on changing the script and do everything necessary to make this idea happen." The director said enthusiastically, "But what if people wanted romance?" One random staff asked, "We have the second lead romance...this will be a fresh start for us." Director Cliff replied.

Annoyed, "This gon be a lotta of work to do boss! we already started filming Parmar and Kelly's scenes, it's like we're back at square one!" another staff spoke-up.

"Just do what I say, I'll do everything I can to assist you! and since it's my decision, I'm taking full responsibility if anything went Wrong!" the director firmly replied.

Both Jin and Nikolai were stunned at Director Cliff's sudden decision and determination, "Are you sure about this?" Nikolai asked.

"Yeah sure as sunlight! your boyfriend is right...I think people need to laugh and feel loved in other ways, you know my daughter Rita? she's Aromantic and I'm sure she's going to be thrilled to hear about this... it's my Chance to show her her old man is cool!" Director Cliff replied.

"Rita? ...Oh! the one who just got into highschool! you said she hates watching your work, because all you do is romance." Nikolai said.

"Yeah! when I asked Rita why does she not like my work, she said because she finds the romance genre boring, unrelatable to her at least.

She actually suggested to me before the same idea as your boyfriend, so many times in my past projects, but I ignored her because I wanted my shows to Excel, and romance seemed like a success factor.

But lately I had my doubts, So many people were talking about recent shows, and how the romance became predictable and somewhat unrealistic.

People started liking second leads more than first leads, they criticized how Male leads treated the female leads...the lack of good representation and healthy relationships.

Plus, friendship just like Jin said, Seems to me like this is the new trend among people especially youngsters.

people are craving to have friends over lovers, and even go as far as shipping characters that are canonically friends.

I told myself, if I'm heading the wrong way with this project, I need a sign to guide me.

Something that would push me to change it, and I guess Jin was that sign...so thank you for bringing your Clever boyfriend here, Nikolai." Director Cliff said winking.

"Friendship is the Best Relationship In the world, indeed." Kimberly spoke up, " I'd chose my friends over anything in the world, I would also slap them all for 50 million dollars." She added sniggering.

"Wow, what a loyal friend you are!" Nikolai said sarcastically while giggling himself, "They will forgive me for some of that 50 million dollars." Kimberly replied confidently.

"What about you Jin? since you're the one who changed The course of action here, what do think about your friends?" Kimberly asked.

Smiling, "I don't have that many." Jin said, in his mind he instantly thought of Ha-yoon, Joe and Seong-min, "But, I know I wouldn't exchange them for all the dime in the world." he added.

"Sweet!...by the way Nikolai why hide your boyfriend, he's an absolute cinnamon roll! he's worth bragging about." Kimberly commented, "Didn't have much of a choice...our romance started in the most unlikely way, and I was honestly scared of even announcing him to the public, it wouldn't be Good for him to get mixed up in this mess." Nikolai lied professionally, Jin found it too impressive.

"I was the one who asked him to announce us, because I was done of hiding for my own comfort, while he protected me.

Niko hid me from the public, because I didn't see myself fit for the glamour, and I don't enjoy the lights and attention that fame bring one bit...I'm an introvert with severe social anxiety, and I'm only able to chat with you guys because you seem nice enough, and Nikolai is here to encourage me.

Although I prefer the shadows, seeing the love of my life standing lonely in front of the camera and dealing with too much on his own plate, like paparazzi and rumor spreading tabloids, just to protect me while I selfishly hid behind his back...is something I couldn't accept anymore." Jin replied, turning the table around as Nikolai was now the one impressed with Jin's statement.

"This is absolutely pure!...Faith in humanity is restored." Director Cliff said wiping a tear, "This Reminds me of me and my wife, our relationship also suffered from me being famous, but she never backed away from supporting me." He said.

Chuckling, "Seems like having Jin here was a great decision Niko." Kimberly stated, "Anyways, since we're taking a long break, I'm going to take a nap in my dressing room." she added yawning before walking away.

"Oh right! I forgot to take my medication! my wife would kill me if she knew." Director Cliff said hurrying away.

"Jin, you haven't had lunch yet right? you could've gotten something to eat earlier." Nikolai asked.

Nodding, "Uhm, I didn't want to eat before you do." Jin replied making some of the female staff squeal in awe.

"He's so sweet!" one of them said, "Nikolai is such a lucky man, he picked a good one." another replied.

Feeling shy all of the sudden, "Let's get something to eat...away from here." Nikolai said dragging Jin with him.

...some time later...

"Is everything Alright Seong-min?" Cyrus asked, "So Your idea of revenge is to destroy their current lives?" Seong-min asked.

"As bullies, those three did nothing but destroy people's lives.

Once they set their eyes on a Target, they will do anything to ruin that person's life, they gradually start to elevate The bullying with time.

So things can start from simple knocking and shoving into lockers, to spreading false rumors, to destroying their belongings and stealing them, to physical abuse and even going as far as ruining any other relationship their target might have.

That's why Julian and I pretended to be friends, while we were actually dating.

Other kids who got subjected to this bullying tried changing high schools, or even started skipping school, finding ways to expel themselves just so they don't deal with Moses.

But when the Motherfucker tore off the album that Julian cherished more than his own life, my boyfriend had enough." Cyrus replied.

"Cyrus, were you the subject of Moses's bullying too?" Seong-min asked.

"There could have been a great chance that if Moses knew that me and Julian were dating, I could have been a victim of lighter bullying.

Because Moses usually don't go after girls, or if he did, it would never reach the physical violence, he would try to scare off any girl, or force her away from her boyfriend, especially if she's his type.

Other than that, Moses isn't usually the type to go after girls that way, he never landed a hand on a girl...to think that chivalry isn't dead in the most unlikely of places." He replied.

"Duuuuude!...So you're not just going to expose them as bullies, and ruin their reputation...you're aiming higher!"

"I'm going to subject them to a similar kind of bullying they did to others, I'll slowly destroy their newfounded lives...*Chuckling* and since our boy Rudy already has a relationship, this is going to be extra fun."

"So Rudy has his job, his relationship and reputation to lose.

sounds like a lot of damage to me, so I don't think we shouldn't involve ourselves in his relationship.

I mean yeah let's go after him, but JUST after him! if you're thinking about harming Rudy's girlfriend, I won't agree with you on that one." Seong-min said.

"We aren't harming the girl of course, she's innocent, we're just going to show her the reality of her boyfriend! that she can do better than Rudy Bay." Cyrus replied.

"So after we're done with Rudy, we're going to head for Flint next right? seems like we have a ladder to climb for this one."

"Yeah... just a heads up, Flint is going to be a lot more harder than Rudy is, and right now you can consider Rudy as training but Flint is quite different."

"Makes me wonder how bad Moses is." Seong-min wondered.

"One thing for sure, he knew how to hide himself.

it was somewhat easy to find infos of Rudy, Flint was a bit difficult since he doesn't stay in one place, but I was able to find a little of him because he's somewhat famous and internet stalking is a useful thing.

But Moses...it's as if the Earth split open and swallowed him whole, I couldn't find out even where he went to! and I have a feeling his uncle was the one behind his sudden disappearance.

I remember at Julian's funeral, Moses came with a bruised up face, I bet somebody did that to him and that somebody probably is the one hiding him from the crowds." Cyrus explained.

"Btw, you said you couldn't find anything but the name of Rudy's girlfriend, did you check his social media?" Seong-min asked, "I did, and the problem is I think they may be in a secret relationship.

Because even in his social media, there's no sign of a relationship! not even a single picture or an account tagged." Cyrus replied.

"Oh la-la! And the plot thickens!" Seong-min said smirking.
