SEEDS OF THREAT

P'Gita/Tan Manager's POV

After the successful main scene, there is another scene that should be taken into another room. It's Tan's only indoor shooting in 'Det's' place. Nan is using the same building to shoot it. The shooting will begin at night and there should be a short brief before taking the scene. 

Tan's manager came to the shooting place earlier for the short brief and she accidentally heard Nan and Din's conversation. 

"This amazing actor is your boyfriend, remember?" She heard Din's is having a conversation with his girlfriend, but she cannot remember whose voice it is or see her face. She's on the angle that his girlfriend is completely covered by the tree body. It just sounds familiar to her. She had her reason to walk away from that situation thinking of their privacy to talk.

She arrived at the room and waited for the others to come and start the meeting. Someone called Nan that Tan's manager had arrived and she came in right away to start the brief.

Nan's POV

Alright for this short brief, this might be a sudden change but Nan realized there is something she needs to add in 'Det's' character. All this time she's too focused on the character's personality and somehow lacks on character's skill. If the character's personality is the charm, a special added skill can be considered as a plus. 

Nan thinks of the skill that could be added for 'Det's' character. Considering Tan's body builds and his image as 'Det', it would be interesting if he cooks.

Then P'Min agreed with Nan's suggestion for an added skill but she didn't approve of the cooking scene. It requires a stunt man and it would cost a budget. Tan's manager suggested a cleaning scene and delivered it in a bright and ordinary way. The other looks agree with her opinion and the short brief called off. Since it would need just existing cleaning equipment.

As from the camera angle, there must be a new frame to take the shoot. It may be not too important as people think it is but it's important to make it much more natural. Then Tan's manager approached Nan.

"Excuse me, can I talk to you for a bit?"

'"Yeah, sure! You are Tan's manager, right?" Nan makes sure. P'Gita feels familiar with her voice.

"Correct, I am Gita." She introduces herself casually and Nan tries to be as polite as possible. "Okay, I am Nan. So, P'Gita what do you want to talk about?" P'Gita started to recognize her voice.

"I want to make a request for the added scene."

Then Nan listens to P'Gita's request. It wasn't much she just wanted Nan to be concerned to focus on Tan. P'Gita seems to care a lot about Tan, she wants Tan to be popular. She said to Nan that Tan is like a younger brother to her. she asked for a favor

Nan gladly accepts her request and will try to talk to the other staff about it. The clock shows 4.30 pm, it's time for P'Gita to leave and Nan thanked her.

P'Gita/Tan Manager's POV

P'Gita realized that she is the girl with Din before and his girlfriend after she heard the same word as before. "Thanks" (Nan's voice)

She came back to meet Tan on an ad shooting site. Seeing Tan is still going with the photoshoot, she sat down, opened her laptop, and tidied up an upcoming schedule for Tan. Tan suddenly startled her from behind.

"Awh what are you doing, Tan!" She hits his back. "You're done?" and asked dafter

"Yep! Where have you been anyway, P?"

"Oh, I had a meeting with the series team." P'Gina continues typing on her laptop.

"Which series?"

"Artificial Boyfriend"

"Oh! Nan's series!? What about it?"

She stopped typing and turned to Tan, "You know her?" 

"Hm... Well, kind of. Why?"

"Why do you know her?"

"Why? Well, because she's nice, kind, and also smart! I a bit of a fan though lol"

"Haha careful she had a boyfriend." P' Gina said it as a joke but Tan is giving an unexpected reaction. "WHAT?!" Tan's suddenly asks and seems to be taken aback. People around are staring because Tan suddenly got loud.

"..." She just can't believe seeing Tan's reaction. She can tell that Tan is interested in Nan by his reaction recently. 

"Who?" asked Tan.

"Seeing this reaction, it would be better if I didn't tell you. Sooner or later you'll figure it out. Now back to work!" Said P'Gina firmly. Tan pouted but still follows P'Gina's order.

She continues to explain the short brief from before to Tan. It will be a good opportunity for Tan because it is a solo scene. P'Gina said that she asked for a favor from Nan to strengthen the shooting style to promote you on camera. 

Tan's POV

7.00 pm at the shooting site for the series, Tan has arrived. Of all people, he met Nan first. Tan is frustrated by the news he hears from P'Gina. He has liked Nan since the first time they met in front of the elevator. Tan thinks Nan at that time is really cute because she ran out of embarrassment. The thought of Nan put him in a daze in front of Nan. Then, she shakes Tan's body asking if he's alright. Tan unconsciously asked, "Do you really have a boyfriend, Nan?"

Nan stunned and laughed it off right away to prevent gossip. Then she walked to the room for shooting. Tan realized her reaction and assumed she really did have a boyfriend. 

Other than that, Tan remembers P'Gina's words, "Sooner or later, you'll find out" and Nan's reaction is weird because if her boyfriend is just anyone she doesn't have anything to hide. But, Why did she hide it? Her boyfriend must be among the staff within this project and could be someone Tan knows. After thinking about it, Tan goes into the room and follows the instructions for the new-added cleaning scene.

After the shooting was done, Tan planned to take Nan home and talked about it. 

"CUT!" Nan said. "Alright, that's a wrap for today. Thank you all, good work!" She takes all her stuff and leaves first.

Tan wanted to ask her out to drive her and follow her outside and at that time Tan saw a man picking her up with a familiar appearance. Tan can't believe what he just saw. It is not anyone, but Din, his junior. 

Tan felt a burning feeling inside his chest right up to his head, then he took out his phone, solemnly typing.
