Noeul 🌧️ ✔️ @noeul-lee-GLAMM
@noeul-lee-GLAMM @the-real-sara and you’re so real for that
Glitzz&Glamm @stanhwasa
@noeul-lee-GLAMM well if I CAN’T say Jeong-woo, then I guess I’ve gotta represent. Ryan Reynolds. Ur a stay u’ve gotta know abt Deadpool, right?
Noeul 🌧️ ✔️ @noeul-lee-GLAMM
@noeul-lee-GLAMM @stanhwasa I do, but i did also just watch Deadpool. They’re good movies, and Ryan Reynolds IS hot. So is Hugh jackman. Believe me, I know what you’re saying
GLOWW ✨✨✨✨ @qilinmybeloved
@noeul-lee-GLAMM considering how much ur actually replying to people, I’ve gotta throw my hat into the ring. Prapai Theerapanyakun
Noeul 🌧️ ✔️ @noeul-lee-GLAMM
@noeul-lee-GLAMM @qilinmybeloved ur officially my favorite GEMM now, i need to go show this to someone
GLAMM Newsletter (since no one else is) @glammleaveqxent
After dropping a tweet today asking GEMMS for their celebrity crushes outside of GLAMM, Noeul responded to several replies, revealing many things. 1. He knows what the Big Tittie Committee is. 2. He’s a Deadpool fan. 3. He is aware of and a fan of(?) celebrity Thai actor Prapai. That last one has been stirring up fans because of his peculiar reply, calling the person who mentioned the actor his ‘favorite GEM’.
QILIN DROP THE ALBUM @peachhhh
@glammleaveqxent i feel like GLAMM have talked about actors before, and brought up Prapai? He’s a pretty well known actor, his social media presence would def put him on idols’ radar, and we know Noeul is like that. There was something in the anniversary live, i think, i remember them teasing?
Yeonjunnieee @txtnmb111fan
@glammleaveqxent @peachhhh they were teasing someone off screen, maybe one of their staff is a fan?? Noeul did say ‘I need to go show this to someone’ so like????
Glaamm COMEBACK @finfin__!
@glammleaveqxent @txtnmb111fan noeul would also totally call out his staff on twitter, not to mention the fact that I think he knows Prapai. They were both working on that Prada thing at the same time, they might have met.
ITS ME (I)-DLE @!!fightingantisbynight
@glammleaveqxent @finfin__! if anything was gonna prompt action like that, it would be noeul sort of knowing Prapai while also having a friend who is a fanboy. Very on brand.
Qilin 🐉 ✔️ @kuea-GLAMM
@noeul-lee-glamm has done something dumb. In other news, grass is green. Most of you have figured it out already, but he was bored, and he finds interacting with his fans to be fun. And, yes, what he said about the Deadpool movies was true, we watched them together, Jeong-woo and Noeul are both fans of action movies.
Noeul 🌧️ ✔️ @noeul-lee-GLAMM
@kuea-GLAMM you’re so mean to me @starrynightSKY manager come manage
Qilin 🐉 ✔️ @kuea-GLAMM
@noeul-lee-GLAMM Sky told you to stop tagging him, he’s not a public figure and you can’t run to him with all your problems. Also stop tattling we’re all scared of Sky and you’re always mad when we tattle.
Prapai 🌪️ ✅
[Image Description: Prapai stands with a female figure, both displaying their surroundings. They are clearly on a film set, with camera and lighting equipment around them. The photo reveals another person’s shoulder, who both the actors are looking at, but cuts off.]
We’re on set with Secret Findings! Dying over here trying not to spoil my costar, and everyone keeps yelling at me about it :(
SecretFindingsiscommmmming
At this rate the show is gonna be aired and we’re still not gonna know who the mystery guest star issss 😭😭😭😭😭
Theerapanyakunstanforever
Is there even another person cast in this show that we don’t know about? The season will be done and we won’t know, because they won’t be in it!!
Prapai+Phayushowwhen
This show is massive, with a famous Korean actress costarring and all the creative team saying they want to really do something with it, this reveal is either going to be epic or a total let down (im so scared im so scarred)
Fightfirewithwatermorons
I don’t really know actors so I really hope I can’t be disappointed but even I’m so curious. I just want to know where this is going, why it’s such a big secret!!
StillstuckonMerlinactually
Come onnnn Prapaiiiiii you can telllll ussss
Qilin 🐉 ✔️ @kuea-GLAMM
I swear to gosh I am this fudging close
QILIN DROP THE ALBUM @peachhhh
@kuea-GLAMM QX let Kuea say fuck oh my god this poor man is at his limit.
Glitzz&Glamm @stanhwasa
@kuea-GLAMM @peachhhh so true he is a tired mother let him rest for two seconds
Team Jeong ;) @jeong-woo-GLAMM For those of you worrying, @kuea-GLAMM is fine, he was on his laptop working for like six hours straight by the time he tweeted this. We made him stop and like eat and rest and stuff. He’s fine.
Glitzz&Glamm @stanhwasa
@jeong-woo-GLAMM okay if kuea is like a mom or something Team is a tired dad, he literally only logs in to social media to clean up the mess from Kuea sleep-deprived-tweeting
Glaamm COMEBACK @finfin__!
@jeong-woo-GLAMM @stanhwasa its actually just that being around the chaotic insanity that is Noeul forcibly makes everyone a tired parent.
GLAMMSTAN4EVR @permanentgemm
@jeong-woo-GLAMM u and kuea never answers Noeul’s question a few days agooo
GLAMM Newsletter (since no one else is) @glammleaveqxent
@jeong-woo-GLAMM things are in the works, perhaps??
Noeul 🌧️ ✔️ @noeul-lee-GLAMM
I have a very exciting announcement, stay tuned for my live later today!! 📣📣📣
Rain excitedly clicks the button to go live. He checks a couple of diagnostics as the first viewers stream in, bouncing from foot to foot. Sky is standing in front of him, out of view of the phone camera, smirking. ‘Calm down’, he mouths, clearly amused. Rain shakes his head. “Hi everyone, I am here with a very important announcement. And, I’ll say it now, it is an official announcement. My manager’s right there.” He points, but doesn’t actually turn the camera. “This is, like, real. And I’ll show you the proof in just a second.” The view count is climbing and climbing. A lot of sources and accounts, more and less reputable, had started talking about his tweet early, but really, this is not going to get its proper audience until after he’s done. Plenty of fans of the others might not even know who he is.
Sky looks around and nods to Rain, “You’re good. Time to start performing, Noeul.” Rain can’t resist giggling at his friend’s teasing, but he pushes off the wall.
“All right, everyone, it’s time for me to show you around,” he winks. Then, he walks out a couple of steps and starts turning slowly, showing the scenery behind him. He’s showing off his favorite part of the set, bathed in bright, industrial lights at the moment but still resembling a comfortable bar and lounge. He waits a few seconds for it to sink in for anyone who might recognize this particular set. “This is Noeul Lee, my friends call me Rain, coming to you live from my newest gig, the set of Secret Findings!” He stops again, letting people get out their pure screaming in the live chat. “Now, this is my first major acting role, but my company has been building my repertoire. I promise to act for my life here, and I’ll do my very best not to disappoint.” He’s rambling a bit, which he tries to avoid when he’s working, but it doesn’t seem too bad. As long as he veers toward humble then it shouldn’t matter if he talks a lot.
”No way!” Prapai pops up beside him, slinging his arm around Rain’s shoulders and leaning into the camera. He’s all half-unbuttoned shirts and easy confidence, as per irritatingly usual. Rain has no idea how he does it. “I know some people, including fans of mine, unfortunately, are gonna come at him because the big secret actor isn’t a well known actor or something. But Rain’s great, there’s no way you guys are gonna be disappointed. Come on, we are meant to show them around the set.”
”I am,” Rain retorts teasingly. “You have other work you’re meant to be doing. But I guess you’re my cohost now.” He grins at the camera. “This is Rain and Prapai, coming to live from the set of Secret Findings.”
Secret Findings Official
[Image Description: A screen capture of Prapai and Rain from their livestream, standing on the set of Secret Findings.]
We’re so happy to announce that GLAMM’s Noeul Lee is joining us on set for a guest starring role on Secret Findings!
Noeul Lee (Rainy) ✅
I’m so excited and honored to have this opportunity! Please take care of me 😊
Prapai 🌪️ ✅
I could not keep my mouth shut any longer, we’re so happy to have you Rainy!! Gonna blow this away
Park So-mi (official) ✅
I’m so thrilled to be on set with Noeul, he’s a brilliant actor and incredible to work with (:
Qilin_Kuea_Official ✅
We’re so proud of you Rain!! You’re gonna eat this up so bad <33
GLAMM!! official ✅
Rain has worked so hard for this, and we’re so proud of him! (-Team 😅)
SecretFindingsiscommmmming
No way??? this is insane i dont know rain (noeul?) but a friend of mine is a fan and she made me get onto the live when it was revealed. Prapai and So-mi seem very supportive, so i think this is going to go well!! The fact that they’re bringing an idol in feels like it means something but idk what. This role is going to be insane, I’m so excited!!
Fightfirewithwatermorons
This was curated for me cus i don’t know any actors but i sure as hell know some idols!! Can’t believe Noeul is going to be in this!!! This is going to be crazy, im so excited
Noeul-Acting-when?
We’re so back baby, it’s happening!!! This is all this acc is gonna be abt now, oh my god. This is the greatest thing ever. I hope this give Noeul and GLAMM a popularity boost, they’re so under appreciated!
peachh_-stans
ahhhhhhhhhhh! I’m trying to for a coherent, thoughtful addition but AHHHHHHH
GLAMM Newsletter (since no one else is) @glammleaveqxent
It’s official. Our very own @noeul-lee-GLAMM is guest starring in the highly anticipated show Secret Findings! Not too much is known about the project as of right now, but the creators are calling it a heartfelt drama that means to say something. Noeul is predicted to be in some, not all, episodes. From there, we can only hypothesize.
GLAMM Newsletter (since no one else is) @glammleaveqxent
@glammleaveqxent And there are some hypotheses to be made, but i wanted to keep the main post strictly factual. The excessive promotion and tightly kept secret of Noeul’s involvement MIGHT imply that his role will specifically hold some plot significance, perhaps to do with that deeper message the producers want to send. If this is true, that he is plot relevant but not one of the main characters, then I would anticipate that his role will be in the latter half of the season, maybe with an appearance or two early on.
QILIN DROP THE ALBUM @peachhhh
@glammleaveqxent I’ve been witnessing this piece by piece in real time and I’m losing my MIND, this is so exciting, i can’t wait to see what Noeul gets to do here!!
Secret Findings in Filming! @theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan
@glammleaveqxent @peachhhh I’m a fan of Prapai’s and one of the people highly anticipating the show. I don’t know much about Noeul (still confused about the Rain thing) but from what I saw on the live and what I’ve been looking into since, he’s going to be great for the show!
QILIN DROP THE ALBUM @peachhhh
@glammleaveqxent @theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan I’m so glad that he’s getting outside support, because Noeul has been noted for his strong ability to perform and put on a show in terms of everything from their live performances to music videos! As for the name thing, while Kuea is Thai, working with a Korean company, both Noeul and Jeong-woo are Thai-Korean. They both use their Korean name as their stage name, so while those around them tend to refer to them by their nicknames (which are more serious in Thai culture but thats a whole other thing) fans and such usually stick to their stage names! Noeul’s Thai name is Rain, and Jeong-woo’s is Team (yes, his stupid twitter handle is a pun, we love him).
Secret Findings in Filming! @Theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan
I’ve only had Noeul and GLAMM for a day and a half, but if anything happened to them I would kill everyone in this room and then myself.
QILIN DROP THE ALBUM @peachhhh
@Theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan that’s the spirit everyone falls into being a GEMM in the exact same way: hard and sort of jarringly. We’re happy to have you!
Phayu Theerapanyakun ✔️ @Phayu-theerapanyakun-official
I shouldn’t have to do this, but I’m going to, because after Prapai’s declaration a lot of assholes are crawling to me looking for support on their rude opinions. Yes, I know a lot about my cousin’s acting roles, he knows about mine. Yes, I knew about Noeul Lee’s role on Secret Findings ahead of time. No, I did not attempt to join the show in any way. Yes, I have met Noeul since he joined the cast. Yes, he is more than fit for the role, and I am looking forward to performance.
Praapaai 🌪️ ✔️ @prapai-theerapanyakun-official
@Phayu-theerapanyakun-official the message is appreciated and supported but you did not have to self report this hard my dear cousin.
LIVEsLAUGHterLOVE @toallthegirlsladieswomenivelovedb4
@Phayu-theerapanyakun-official @prapai-theerapanyakun-official Any negativity surrounding Noeul’s casting is terrible and completely undeserved but Prapai what the FUCK does this mean?? Self report what what are we missing
Forever Friends Forever Yoooooung @lifeinthedreamhouse
@Phayu-theerapanyakun-official @toallthegirlsladieswomenivelovedb4 yeah WHAT. Like ig it makes sense that we didn’t know that Phayu knew Lee Noeul but Prapai is so obviously making fun of his cousin here and i want to be in on the joke SO BAD
Notes:
So many things to say here but i’lo try to limit myself. Uh one I’ve never posted anything for a bl but I have eight or ten just abandoned LITA wipes so it’s REALLY exciting to start this!!
Anyway I don’t really know what this is going to become, or even what it is, but I have a lot of fun with it, and I hope you do too! So for our first installment of ‘what the fuck is that refence in a bl fic’ yes that last user is a reference to Barbie life in the dream house
But this was a nightmare to format in ao3 not to mention that when I pasted it came over as one block of text that i had to re-space and indent twice. So kudos and comments are appreciated bc i wanna know if anyone’s actually reading this
[last thing, i hate how the spacing came out on this cus in docs, especially for the instagram comments, the lines weren’t so far apart so now if feels like it looks really weird but that’s hopefully nothing]
Chapter 2
Notes:
I’ve been having a lot of fun writing chapters 8 and 9 for the past couple of days so here’s a new chapter lol
UPDATE: ‘>>’ denotes that a comment is a REPLY to another comment (because of the indentation rant i went on in the end comments)
(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Qilin 🐉 ✔️ @kuea-GLAMM
People keep talking about me and Jeong-woo now that this whole acting thing has come out for Noeul, and no. I’ve never wanted to act, music is my passion. If Jeong-woo wasn’t an idol he’d be an athlete, he almost was. Bother him about that 😉🌊🏊♂️
Glitzz&Glamm @stanhwasa
@kuea-GLAMM Jeong-woo was almost an athlete? Like a competitive swimmer? I need proof, show us pics of him swimming as proof 🤷
Sunshinefelix🐣 @straykidsHOOO
@kuea-GLAMM @stanhwasa could not agree more @jeong-woo-GLAMM drop the pics
STAYMOAGEMM @1stjeongwoo-stannn
@kuea-GLAMM @straykidsHOOO yeah @jeong-woo-GLAMM drop the pics
Noeul 🌧️ ✔️ @noeul-lee-GLAMM
@kuea-GLAMM @1stjeongwoo-stannn sorry to say but its not happening anytime soon he’d need to open twitter to see the @s so… but yeah he was a competitive swimmer in high school. We actually know some professional athletes because of him 😇
Glitzz&Glamm @stanhwasa
@kuea-GLAMM @noeul-lee-GLAMM and Noeul’s harem grows which professional swimmers have you seduced?
Noeul 🌧️ ✔️ @noeul-lee-GLAMM I’m on set and it’s like overwhelming these people are so professional. My usual coworkers are Kuea and Team I’m not used to these conditions. The only relief is being babysat by Sky who is actually good at being professional. Keep me in your prayers i beggg
Praapaai 🌪️ ✔️ @prapai-theerapanyakun-official
@noeul-lee-GLAMM you immediately became every single person on set’s favorite person So-mi adopted you, you’re doing fine.
Noeul 🌧️ ✔️ @noeul-lee-GLAMM
@prapai-theerapanyakun-official yeah see that’s Sky’s influence
Phayu Theerapanyakun ✔️ @Phayu-theerapanyakun-official
I am on set with Secret FIndings because my best uncle is giving me the opportunity to learn more about production but for the last time, no, I am not cast in it. I love you guys and the confidence in me but I can’t be in every single show. Also working with Prapai on anything is a nightmare
Praapaai 🌪️ ✔️ @prapai-theerapanyakun-official
@Phayu-theerapanyakun-official you’re so cruel to me
Noeul 🌧️ ✔️ @noeul-lee-GLAMM
@Phayu-theerapanyakun-official @prapai-theerapanyakun-official you spend more time bothering him than I do this is very warranted
Glitzz&Glamm @stanhwasa
@Phayu-theerapanyakun-official @noeul-lee-official and the harem grows again this is happening a lot recently. Or at least we are suddenly finding out about it
Rain promptly closes twitter. He loves the inside jokes and knows how to take the less serious jabs of his fans, he has been in plenty of fandoms in his time, he gets it. Even the harem jokes were funny, it’s the sort of joke he would love in some show he’s obsessed with. He can’t actually talk about his sexuality, Korean culture isn’t super open to queer people, he can at least make jokes that stir up fans’ nature. You know, actually being willing to consider that he might not be straight, unlike mainstream media. But it’s never been like this before.
It’s different, somehow, when someone calls out that he might be flirting with Phayu. Phayu is put together and calm, always sensible, handsome and respected. Phayu is on another level. In the short time Rain has known him, he’s been great. He’s been helping Rain around set a lot, and they’ve become friends. Phayu is different from Prapai, even. Prapai is handsome and charismatic, and sure Rain gets a bit flustered thinking about acting with him, but Phayu is the definition of tall, dark, and handsome. He’s hot, really hot, and Rain definitely does not have budding feelings for him because that would be a disaster. It’s easier to hide the fact that he’s bisexual when he isn’t actively crushing on a man!
”Rain,” Sky says softly, leaning in against his shoulder. “I can hear you overthinking.” There’s a kind smile on his lips and concern in his eyes. Sky has been the best on set, better than Phayu or anyone else. He gets Rain’s anxiety, he gets everything about Rain, and he knows the stresses, too. He’s been doing everything he can to support Rain, this is an incredible opportunity, after all.
”I’m just overly stressed,” Rain sighs, dropping his head back against the wall. “I’m so anxious about the main thing that I’m getting anxious about everything.” Sky ruffles his hair sympathetically.
“Don’t worry,” he smiles, “I’ve got’cha. Besides, today’s your last day on set for a while. Maybe start worrying about all the stuff Kuea’s got on your schedule instead of our dear producer.”
Rain groans, “Oh my gosh, Kuea’s going to go crazy on me. Or Ple! Kuea’s got samples and partially constructed songs already, she’s gonna drag me into starting choreo! God, I’m gonna get the work out of my life, huh?”
”Don’t worry,” Sky soothes. “You’re having a comeback in a few months, you’ve got a lot of promotional material on your schedule.” Rain groans again, looking at him pleadingly as if his manager could do anything about it.
“Damn, you sound busier than us,” Prapai strolls up to them, smiling widely.
“I’m always busy,” Rain sighs dramatically. “You do your acting. I perform, promote, record, train, and now, apparently, act.”
Prapai shrugs, “Honestly? Fair enough. But we’re up, now.” He winks at Rain, as if he isn’t the one who’s about to have to act all nervous and sheepish while Rain gets to have all the fun.
Sky drags him up by the shoulder, “You want to rest, finish quick. You’ll have the rest of today if you finish early.”
Rain stands on the edge of the set, decorated like a bar, as Prapai takes up the position that would set up the transition when edited together. They haven’t filmed that scene yet, because of Rain’s scheduling they have him here in the early days to film his first appearances and then he won’t be back until near the end of filming.
Cameras rolling, Prapai looks around hesitantly, and Rain strolls onto set. He really quite likes his costuming for all of this. Embroidered silks and golden chains wrapped around his frame, giving him an aura of easy arrogance and mystery, while making him feel very pretty. The sort of beauty that makes one powerful, which is the point of dressing his character this way. “Well, well,” he grins, “Look what we have here. You’re out of your depth, tiger cub.” Prapai stares at him, eyes a mix of wonder and fear. “You meddle with forces beyond your understanding.”
”I’m not afraid,” Prapai finally says. “So are you another enemy?”
Rain chuckles, “That entirely depends on you. I bear no ill will, I assure you. Perhaps even some good will, I pity a poor mortal cast into this so suddenly. Although, you do seem to be holding your own. How about a gift, is there something you seek? I would gladly help you.”
”You still haven’t told me who you are,” Prapai points out. He shifts his feet subtly, eyeing Rain with suspicion. “Phiphek,” Rain smiles, strolling forward. “You’re afraid because you can sense that I am a demon. Fear not, Phra Ram—”
”That’s not my name,” Prapai growls.
Rain steps closer, leaving little distance between them, “Ram, then? The name your dear mortal parents gave you? I suppose you only wield his power, like I do. You are hardly Phra Ram himself. So what is it you want, Ram? My offer still stands.”
Prapai flicks his eyes up and down Rain’s body, “You… are a demon? Demons are chasing me.”
”Demons are individuals. I might say humans are chasing me, does that make every single one of you my enemy?” Rain pulls Prapai in by his collar, “Come on, there must be something more interesting that some information on this spat you have. Believe me, this troublemaker is not your true enemy.”
”Who is?” Prapai asks desperately. “What must I do, what is happening?”
”I don’t have to help you,” Rain sighs, releasing Prapai’s collar and stepping back. He isn’t good at showing disapproval and disappointment as a person, but it's much easier to express things like that when he is acting. “Make it interesting and I will.”
Prapai pauses, then takes a slow breath. This time, he closes the gap between them, looking down slightly to make eye contact with Rain. “What about me do you find so interesting?”
”There's a good question,” Rain purrs. “You hold more power than you realize, nothing is as it seems. But you might actually be capable of holding your own.” Rain twists his hand, deftly producing a ring, hoping it came out well enough to not have to reshoot a dozen times to make it look ’magical’. “A gift, for you. You’re but a cub right now, but you might grow into a fearsome tiger yet. I’m willing to help you survive your more pathetic times in order to witness that magnificence.”
Prapai reaches up hesitantly, and Rain shoots out his other hand. Holding the other man steady, he slips the ring onto his finger. Prapai shudders subtly, “What does it do?”
Rain winks, “That’s for you to figure out, handsome warrior. Consider it a test, to prove yourself worthy of the reward.” He steps backward, and holds still for a moment.
“Cut!” The producer yells. “Great work, Lee Noeul, that was perfect!”
Rain smiles sheepishly, “What do we need re-done?”
The producer smiles and shakes his head, “No, no, that was perfect.” Rain blinks, not fully processing the praise, and Prapai claps him on the shoulder.
“That means no reshoots, Rain,” Prapai teases. “Means we were perfect.” People around the set have been giving their compliments, and one of the assistants comes forward to offer them drinks. Rain accepts the distraction gratefully.
“Excellent work, Rain,” Sky offers from where he sits, cross legged on the floor. “You’ve got the hard part down, now we just need like three unique scenes of you brooding suspiciously.”
That is actually the annoying part, because his makeup is sort of complex and he keeps needing to change clothes for the various shots. Prapai will not even be on the same set to keep him entertained. But the tiresome task does finally come to an end.
Prapai 🌪️✅
[Image description: Rain and Prapai stand side by side. Prapai holds up his hand, showing off a fancy ring. Rain is done up in makeup, with eyeliner and dark lip tint, winking at the camera. He wears beautiful robes and a jeweled choker on his neck.]
In case you guy were wondering what’s happening on the set 😉
SecretFindingsiscommmmming
ohmygodohmygod!! They both look so handsome so cute so hot omggggg! I have no idea what could possibly become of this but I know it’s going to be so amazing. I’m so glad Noeul’s part of the cast
Prapai+Phayushowwhen
Yeah, noeul looks alright but doesn’t this just go to show that they brought noeul on for his looks. He’s a visual isn’t he? Like, I’m worried about what acting skill he could possibly be bringing to the table, esp alongside Prapai.
Noeul-Acting-now!
Just cus Noeul’s hot doesn’t mean he’s pure visual, he’s a great dancer and performer, that’s why he got cast. Don’t hate on him just because you don’t like the fact that idols do actually have skills when you want to pretend they’re just pretty and nothing else. Like damn your insecurity is showing.
Bangkok Entertainment News @bangkokentnewsdaily
According to reputable sources there was an accident on the set of Secret Findings. Several high profile actors are on set at present time, but we are unaware who among the cast or crew was injured, or the extent of the injuries at this time.
Secret Findings in Filming! @Theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan
@bangkokentnewsdaily omg what? I hope everyone’s okay?? There’s no news on who was hurt?
STAYMOAGEMM @1stjeongwoo-stannn
@bangkokentnewsdaily @Theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan I just know that Kuea was supposed to go live with Noeul half an hour ago and he never did and there was no update or news about a delay or cancellation
Secret Findings in Filing! @Theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan
@bangkokentnewsdaily @1stjeongwoo-stannn WHAT? NO OMG?? THIS CANT BE HAPPENING I ALREADY SAID WHAT ID DO IF SOMETHING HAPPENED TO HIM
Qilin 🐉 ✔️ @kuea-GLAMM
Sorry everyone for not showing up to the live, and yes, I will confirm, it was Noeul who was injured on set. There was a minor accident and Noeul injured his head, and he is now in the hospital recovering. He is in high spirits, and insists he is feeling fine, and asks that you please don’t worry!
Park So-mi 🌹 ✔️ @parksomi-official
@kuea-GLAMM he seemed okay when he was leaving set, but our well wishes are with him! Feel better, Noeul!!
Secret Findings in Filming! @Theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan
@kuea-GLAMM @parksomi-official I hope Noeul is okay!! Get better Lee Noeul!!
GLOWW ✨✨✨✨ @qilinmybeloved
@kuea-GLAMM @Theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan holy shit i stop paying attention for one day ad i miss everything!! Get Well Soon Noeul 🙏
“You don’t have to be here,” Rain says weakly, again.
Phayu sighs, “You insisted that Sky had work, that Kuea and Team couldn’t be taken away from their work, that no one go out of their way to leave set with you. Someone has to look after you.” He squeezes the younger man’s hand. “You’ll be out of here in no time, but you shouldn’t be alone.” Rain smiles shyly, looking away.
The boy is far too unconcerned with his own wellbeing, Phayu worries about him. He focuses so much on doing well, he’s a serial people pleaser. Phayu doesn’t even know where all of Rain’s anxiety comes from, all the idol does is portray skill after skill. ”I feel bad,” Rain admits softly. “I caused a big fuss, and I was supposed to go live today!”
”With Kuea,” Phayu reminds, “Who you insisted do so anyway. So the live is still happening.”
”I know, I know,” Rain whines, sufficiently chastised.
Noeul Lee (Rainy) ✅
[Image Description: Rain, sitting up in a hospital bed, with a small gash on his forehead bandaged closed. He smiles at the camera, holding up a peace sign.]
He is banned from social media until his minor concussion returns to being no concussion, but he wanted to assure everyone that he is fine.
peachh_-stans
It’s so nice to hear he’s okay, get better soon!!
glammgemm4life
but who posted? Kuea is live and isn’t Jeong-woo doing a modeling thing all week? I’m sure he’d cancel for Rain’s sake, but Kuea said that even manager Sky was sent away to continue his work.
Noeul-Acting-now!
maybe one of the staff from the set?? They must’ve sent someone with him if he was hurt
Secret Findings Official
[Image Description: A black square with text, reading: For official clarification, Noeul Lee was injured today on set. It was a minor injury, and Noeul promptly went to the hospital for treatment. There will be no delays in production as of now. We wish Noeul the best and a quick recovery.]
Noeul x Jeong-woo truthers anonymous @noeulwoomybeloved I need to know right now whats going on with Noeul at the hospital because he got his phone back secretly for an hour and spent the whole time vague-tweeting about being stressed and enamored and scared for the future. Whoever is with him is either his crush or Death itself. What is happening?
GemmStoneeNea @neadoesntplay
@noeulwoomybeloved something is like definitely going on and its sooo crazy. Maybe cus he’s a high profile patient they wanted to make sure he was good and now he’s just buzzed on painkillers or something

@noeulwoomybeloved @neadoesntplay its actually insanely entertaining to watch this go down on social media because we just have no idea whats going down. It’s not some big issue its a personal, likely emotional thing, and we’re just seeing noeul meltdown
Noeulwoo’s real i was the barbell @noeulwoowaterslidemoment
@noeulwoomybeloved I know it was jeong-woo no way he would just leave his baby in the damn hospital he would drop everything if noeul got hurt
Wheres MY dating sim @keehoneedsarealityshow
@noeulwoomybeloved @noeulwoowaterslidemoment yeah so would Kuea but noeul is the one who insisted that he was mostly fine and didn’t want anyone to mess up their schedule
Noeulwoo’s real i was the barbell @noeulwoowaterslidemoment
@noeulwoomybeloved @keehoneedsarealityshow but there’s no jeong-woo would actually do that he’d never just leave noeul wounded if he needed help
STAYMOAGEMM @1stjeongwoo-stannn
@noeulwoomybeloved @noeulwoowaterslidemoment neither would Kuea but Noeul said like half a dozen times that it is a minor injury and that he is feeling fine
Noeul x Jeong-woo truthers anonymous @noeulwoomybeloved

PHAYU WAS THE ONE WITH HIM?? Bro omg I guess they really are friends huh??
SecretFindingsiscommmmming
oh no WAY. Noeul seemed to be becoming friends with Prapai on set but omg this combo is so crazy. Literally ultimate duo
Prapai+Phayushowwhen
he barely even knows Phayu and seriously wasted his time to take him to the hospital?? Doesn’t he have staff or something, why would he do this
>>prapaiinSFpromos😍
>>shut up shut up this is the best thing to ever happen to anyone besides phayu’s a nice person and clearly Noeul’s friend
RainBestBoy😘
Isn’t it kinda weird that this phayu dude went with noeul? They met on set, right? they can’t be that close, and poor noeul was hurt and phayu is like way older than him, this whole thing is kinda ick
>>GLAMMFAMMSTANN
>>Phayu is 3-4 yrs older than him i think and we dont know when they met? And Noeul is twenty, this isn’t like a 15yr old idol being accompanied by someone they dont know

Noeul there’s some weird shit happening in the comments but ignore them!! I’m glad you’re feeling better and that you had someone to look out for you<33

[Image Description: Team standing in front of a drop cloth, wearing an open blazer and a speedo, smirking at the camera, hair dripping water droplets]
After a lot of secrecy, Jeong-woo’s promotional project is releasing tomorrow! Advertisements go live at midnight!
Team laughs at the post despite himself, or really laughs at the comments. He gets why Rain enjoys the fans sometimes, it doesn’t feel bad that this many people think he’s hot. “Staring at your own praise is a little stuck up, isn’t it?” Win leans over his shoulder to look at Team’s phone.
”It’s hilarious,” he shrugs. “Gotta enjoy it before you outshine me.” He squints against the sun as he looks up at his friend, but he can’t bring himself to not enjoy the fresh air and lack of industrial lighting.
Win raises an eyebrow, “You’re the idol.”
”And you’re the athlete with a cult social media following,” Team laughs. With his slight concern about Rain’s injury subsided, he has been in a very good mood. He hasn’t seen his senior in a long time, since they were on the same swim team in high school, and running into him here almost felt like destiny. Getting to reconnect with Win was a stroke of fate. “You’re gonna steal my spotlight.”
”Aw, you poor thing,” Win teases.
“Team!” Someone yells, a girl handing out the window of a car as it pulls up.
Team laughs, “Manow, you look like a crazy fan girl.” Manow shrivels up her face, “Ew, not for you.” Once the car pulls to a full stop, she jumps out of the car. “You’re not cute enough for fangirls.” Team raises an eyebrow and holds up his phone, but his friend just rolls her eyes. She swings the car door shut and bounces over, briefly greeting Win, then turning back to Team to sneer again. It’s kind of upsetting that one of the greatest insults to one of his closest friends is insinuating that she’s a fan of his work. Like come on, he’s good at what he does.
“Manow, chill,” Pharm slips out of the driver's seat. “Come on, wait five minutes before you start a fight.” He turns to Team and Win. “P’Win,” he greets politely.
“Hello, Pharm,” Win returns the smile. Looking down to Team, he adds, “You’ll be going then?”
”I do not get a lot of days off, I’m outta here,” Team grins. He stands up and raises his arms above his head, stretching out his spine. “I’ll see you later, though. Have fun working, Hia.” Win smacks him over the head as he ducks away, waving goodbye as he slides into the backseat of his friend’s car.
“You look worn out,” Manow teases, leaning into the back from the passenger seat.
”I’ve been working for, like, a week straight,” Team defends. “I’m ready to chill out for, like, twenty four hours straight. But today wasn’t as busy, at least. And I’m sorry about that, Pharm. It was a light day, so you didn’t get to see your favorite senior.”
Pharm does not take his eyes off the road, “What do you mean?”
Manow cackles, “Don’t worry, I’m sure that once all the ads come out, a half naked P’Dean will be plastered all over his walls.”
”Manow!” Pharm shrieks, much more reactive to the much more explicit teasing. He has the self control to not do much more than tighten his fists on the steering wheel, thankfully, but he does shoot Team an accusatory look in the rear-view mirror. “Oh my god, I had a crush on him in high school!”
”And every off hand time you’ve met him since,” Team argues right back. “You can’t see the man without turning pink. It’s a bit more than a high school crush when you’re still blushing over him in your twenties.”
Pharm groans, “I hate you both.”
”See,” Team says to Manow, “He’s grumpy because P’Dean wasn’t here on the day he showed up.”
As Manow continues taking the piss out of Pharm, his phone buzzes. Win sent him a text with an image attachment reading only ‘did you know they were using this one lol’. Slightly concerned by that sentence, Team opens the message immediately. He is promptly greeted by a picture of him and Win at the photoshoot.
Team remembers this, it was while they were working and Team made a stupid joke, he doesn’t even remember what he said. But the picture was snapped at the perfect moment, with Team leaning in slightly, grinning up at Win, and Win looking equal part exasperated and fond.
“Oh, fuck me,” he says aloud. He remembers the photographer showing him that picture, approving of how ‘natural’ it came out, but he didn’t realize it was going to be in a train station with the words: ‘Speedo, the world’s leading swimwear brand’ or something.
Unfortunately, the slightly-too-intimate photo lowered Team’s defenses, and Manow snatches the phone out of his hand. “Oh my god,” she laughs. As they pull to a red light, she holds the device out to Pharm, “Imagine just straight up being outed to the whole world!”
”It’s not that bad!” Team insists. “…Right? God, this is terrible. How come I don’t get a say in which pictures they use!”
”There are exclusively pictures of you half naked going up around the country and only now are you getting embarrassed?” Pharm chuckles. “At least I’m not the only one who dragged their high school crush into adulthood.”
”I thought I didn’t! We’re friends, it’s so natural, we get along, but I’m looking at that stupid picture and—”
”Realizing that you’re still down bad?” Manow asks. “Because I could’ve told you that. It’s not really your fault that a little fifteen year old Team was still figuring out his sexuality was met with a very attractive and charming senior on his swim team who he proceeded to spend so much time shirtless with. Who wouldn’t imprint, honestly?”
”There was something utterly terrible about how you said any of that,” Team groans. “It isn’t that bad, right? Like, of course I think he’s hot, anyone who’s attracted to men would think so.”
Manow looks back at him, teasing while also sympathetic, “You should probably figure it out, you know. Simplify it as much as possible.”
”How?” Team asks miserably, “This doesn't feel simple.”
”Just take your time,” Manow explains, “And figure out if you want to have one night of wild sex with him or wake up next to him every morning. Lust versus love, simple as.” Both Team and Pharm start scolding her at that, because even if Team usually finds her vulgar humor hilarious, it isn’t as funny when he’s the target.
Manowww ✨✨
[Image Description: Manow sits closest to the camera in the passenger seat of a car, with Pharm next to her in the driver’s seat and Team in the middle, leaning forward from the back. They each hold a brightly colored drink up to the camera]

>>RealTeam
>>Hey! 😤 I work hard!
“Is it bad that I’ve gotten to the point where it feels more weird to only have a few interactions on a post from people we know?” Team asks as he furiously types at Prince’s comment.
Pharm snorts, “The idol brain is getting to you. Manow, when did you and Aum become close? She responded in like a minute, you weren’t the one in her club.”
“Oh Aum’s the best! I guess we just got close.” Manow grins.
“She keeps osmosizing all our friends,” Team stage whispers to Pharm. “She’s not pretty or smart or fun, how does this keep happening?” He shoots backward as Manow tries to hit him, hiding in the back seat.
“You’re the worst!” She scolds. “Maybe you’d still be close to some of these people if you did anything other than work. Making a private social media helped but seriously. I get that you don’t get too much time off, so make more of an effort to keep in contact with people online.” Annoyingly, she makes a strong point. Team has been worrying about how temporary this reunion with Win and Dean was going to be, he would like to stay in contact with them. “It’ll also make it easier to make plans when you do get some days off. And Pharm still needs you to maintain plausible deniability about approaching P’Dean because he doesn’t have the ball otherwise.”
“Leave me alone,” Pharm begs.
“Not a chance,” Team and Manow say at the same time.

Notes:
Okay im at my fucking limit here so im sorry if parts of this are confusing but the ao3 rich text editor doesn’t actually have an ‘indent’ function just this little quote thing so i can’t indent more than once. There are comments specifically as part of the instagram posts that are meant to be replies and you know be double indented but i can’t figure it out. Im stuck and im sorry if it’s confusing i tried
So while we’re here some of the fun username references:
I add some GLAMM references that the fandom would probably have, hence both ‘noeulwoo’ references (‘I was the barbell’ referencing when i think you’re most likely to get something very gay, a video with Team and exercise equipment and ‘waterslide moment’ could just be so many things couldn’t it). P1+1harmony is just a stupid play on p1harmony and i love it SO MUCH, arguably my fav oc in this. And ofc gogoletsgoletsgodateko references the best cheer in the haikyuu stage play. Don’t ask where the dc ref with ‘Tim drake’s drake costume’ came from it just felt rightLast note as this involved some of the Rain x Team shit and Rain x Prapai shit, this isn’t shipping either but rather it felt natural to include the NoeulWoo bc it’s K-pop and they are three queer people in a group at that. I don’t know how big im going to make that shipping in this, I’ve yet to decide. That also goes for the rain x Prapai but i just thought I’d be SO funny to put Rain and Prapai acting in a bl together and i think i actually make that plot work really well so haha

Kuea smiles sweetly as he pushes open the door to his fiancé’s office. His relationship with Lian has been improving since they moved in together and Kuea discovered his lover is not cold or uninterested, just severely emotionally constipated. “Hia Lian?” He calls politely.
”Kuea,” Lian deadpans, “I already know what happened.”
”Fuck,” Kuea mutters to himself. He walks properly into the room.
”I’m not mad at you,” Lian smiles. “Are you sure you don’t want to call your manager first? I can wait.”
Kuea waves him off, “I mean, I’ve been open about not wanting to hide my relationship with the staff, I’ve just never actually brought it up. And, like, I wasn’t thinking, you know? I was thinking about you, so I talked about you.”
Lian stifles a small laugh, “That is the preferred way for you to answer questions like that, in my opinion.” Then, Kuea’s phone rings, and he winces once he sees Sky’s name. That’s worse than getting the big, official call first. Sky’s just going to yell at him. “Good luck, my dear.”
Qilin 🐉 ✔️ @kuea-GLAMM
Yes, I’m gonna make an official statement. I am engaged. It was actually an unofficial engagement for most of my life, but it is a genuine, serious relationship. I love my partner, and while we don’t have a specific timeline, we are planning to get married soon. Please respect our privacy, though, and any hate or cruelty will be ignored <3

GLAMM’s universe EXPANDS @dedicatedgemmhistorian
Okay, I’m trying to work out the friend group here because it is actually nuts, isn’t it? Jeong-woo is actually friends with professional swimmers Win and Dean, and at least Win also happens to possibly know Kuea and more likely know Kuea’s recently revealed fiancé, based on the twitter thread. From this twitter thread it seems like the actor Prapai is also familiar with Kuea and his fiancé. Making the friend group: the quickly growing boy group GLAMM, famous actors (and cousins) Phayu and Prapai Theerapanyakun, OLYMPIC swimmers Win Guntachai and Dean Ritprasert, and Kuea’s unknown fiancé. Let’s unpack that. (1/?)
GLAMM’s universe EXPANDS @dedicatedgemmhistorian
@dedicatedgemmhistorian first things first, I want to say this. From the diction, it seems like Win, Prapai, and Kuea’s finacé specifically all know each other. Now, Win comes from a bit of a new money family, with a fucking luxury hotel conglomerate, and Prapai is a goddamn Theerapanyakun, enough said. Now, between Kuea himself being from a very wealthy old money family and Noeul’s tweet, I want to assume that Kuea’s finacé is also one of those rich last name types. So it’s possible that Win, Prapai, Kuea and his fiancé all grew up running in the same circles. (2/?)
GLAMM’s universe EXPANDS @dedicatedgemmhistorian
@dedicatedgemmhistorian people have been speculating recently as to how Noeul became close with Prapai and Phayu Theerapanyakun when we assumed they met in the making of Secret Findings, but now there are multiple other options. GLAMM were all close friends even as trainees, so there’s a strong chance that Noeul knew some of the people around Kuea or Jeong-woo. There’s also a STRONG possibility that Noeul met one of both Theerapanyakuns in their current sphere, celebrity, and realized they had mutual friends. Either way, they were very likely acquainted before Secret Findings, which is how they became such fast friends. (3/4)
GLAMM’s universe EXPANDS @dedicatedgemmhistorian
@dedicatedgemmhistorian and shoutout to this one twitter account @manoow!!-! Belonging to a woman named Manow, who seems to also be a personal friend of Team’s and possibly Win’s, so she might also be part of an unknown powerhouse high school friend group that ended up having multiple famous people. Her account shows her being a fan, just not of GLAMM or Win, like she posts stuff about them, but none of it is her more serious fan stuff. She’s a fan girl, just not for her loser friends from high school. My new favorite person. Anyway, all this to say: we may be uncovering the most goated friend group in history including business family heirs, idols, actors, and celebrity athletes.
GLOWW ✨✨✨✨ @qilinmybeloved
@dedicatedgemmhistorian its their world we’re just living in it. Also I’ve been thinking abt all this stuff recently but haven’t been able to put it together like this til now. You’re so right they all fucking know each other and we just didn’t realize it.
GemmStoneeNea @neadoesntplay @dedicatedgemmhistorian @qilinmybeloved i feel like im losing my mind recently. Good for them i guess, the girls, gays, and theys deserve a win.
Noeul 🌧️ ✔️ @noeul-lee-GLAMM
There’s been so much stuff happening that I will take exactly two mercies on our fans, just cus i think you guys earned a treat. 1) i do know Kuea’s fiancé. 2)Yup, P’Win and P’Dean are the professional athletes that went to school with Jeong-woo, they’re very nice!
GLAMM Newsletter (since no one else is) @glammleaveqxent
So much to say, so little time, lets do this. It was recently revealed right here on twitter that Kuea is engaged (yes, to be married). We don’t know much about his partner, and we ARE GOING TO RESPECT HIS PRIVACY, but he does say that he and his partner are happy and in love, and the other members of GLAMM certainly seem to approve. In other news, it was confirmed that professional swimmers Win Guntachai and Dean Ritprasert are Jeong-woo’s high school friends, and that they are Noeul approved.
Noeul 🌧️ ✔️ @noeul-lee-GLAMM
The studio behind Secret Findings is airing another drama next week and I’m invited to the premiere. All my idol staff think I shouldn’t have a date and all my show staff are asking and asking about who I’m going with. Don’t even know if that’s a publicity thing or just wanting me to get a date. This is my solution. @parksomi-official and @prapai-theerapanyakun-official be my date(s) to the premiere?

@noeul-lee-official @parksomi-official Got it 🫶
Rain has one trump card, considering he started something he immediately lost control of. He doesn’t even greet the person who answers the phone. “P’Phayu, you go to all these fancy events, right? I know you do, it’s a whole thing for you, right?”
“You’re freaking out, aren’t you?” Phayu has the gall to sound amused. “You’re this worried about what to wear?”
”I publicly asked out your cousin and Park So-mi,” Rain groans. “Even if it’s as a joke, there’s going to be a lot of cameras!”
”Okay, okay,” Phayu soothes, even though he still sounds like he finds the whole thing funny. “It was pretty brave actually, you really want to cover for Kuea, huh?”
Rain sighs, “The whole ‘partner’ thing is getting backlash from homophobes, and they haven’t even revealed that Kuea’s actually engaged to a man. Besides, all three of us are queer, not to mention Prapai, and I’m kinda sick of all of it. I guess I’m making a statement?”
“I understand that,” Phayu chuckles. “Here.” He video calls Rain, who immediately holds up the shirt in his hand.
“Prapai’s probably gonna wear red, right?” He demands. “And I can pull off red, I think, but I’m sort of feeling this black shirt. It’s got, like, hold on,” he rifles around in the mess of clothes around him, “It’s got this silver star embroidery on the back, it’s a personal favorite of mine.”
Phayu nods, “To answer your question, Prapai does especially like red, but I can’t be sure. And you might be better off with the black. For one thing, black goes with everything, and for another, it’ll be better for your nerves if you’re wearing something you like.” He is smiling softly and not taking his eyes off of Rain, and it hits him very suddenly that this was a bad idea. Why did Rain think asking Phayu, or all people, would ease his nerves? Having Phayu judge the way he looks is not easing anything.
“Yeah, um, but I have no idea what pants to wear then, that’s the problem. If it was the red shirt, I could wear, like, simple black slacks, but with the black shirt I wouldn’t necessarily want to?” Rain’s only hope is to mask his growing hot-guy panic behind public appearance panic.
“Do you have any white pants?” Phayu asks, “or something to match the embroidery? Or if you have stylized pants then you would be okay with more black.”
Rain blinks, “Hold on a second.” He has these loose, flowy white pants that have a tight waistband. He pulls out a different black shirt, this one cropped short. “It isn’t my pretty star embroidered one, but this works with this.” He puts his phone up on his desk and steps back. “Thoughts?” He’s looking at the back in the mirror, so it takes him a moment to realize there is no reply. “Phayu?”
”Yeah,” Phayu rushes. He looks normal when Rain looks at him, “You look good.” And Rain is examining the back of his outfit again, to hide his flushing face. “You should tie your hair back.” He walks up to the mirror to play with his hair. it is getting longer, to the point where he probably should ask his stylist about tying it up. “Do the top half,” Phayu suggests, “leave it half down.”
”Oo, maybe!” He starts pulling at his hair, but he can’t seem to tame the fly away. “God, this is why I have stylists. I’m hopeless, with my hair, at least. I need to cut it.”
”You like it short?” Phayu asks.
“Mm… not necessarily,” Rain shrugs. “It’s more manageable short, I guess.”
”I get that, but it looks pretty when it’s long,” Phayu hums. Rain freezes mid hair-tug.
“You, uh, you think so?” His voice is embarrassingly high pitched. “I mean, I do like it, I’d just need to figure out what to do with it.”
“I can think of a few things,” Phayu supplies.
”What?” Rain squeaks, immediately having his whole face heat up at the possible implications of that freaking sentence.
“I’ve had my hair long for a while, I think you’d look nice with it tied up in a couple of ways.”
”Right, right,” Rain smiles weakly, scolding himself internally. “Thanks for that. And this, too, really. You’re a miracle worker.”
Phayu laughs, “I talked to you for five minutes while you figured yourself out. Give yourself a bit more credit. You’re gonna have a great time on your date.”
”Oh, please don’t say that. It’s terrible, it’s not a real date,” Rain insists.
”Yeah, but does that matter?” Phayu really is actually enjoying this, the bastard.
Rain sighs, “Because if it is a sorta real date, then my first real date is a not real date.”
”You’ve never been on a date before?” Phayu is smiling, looking amused. There’s a glint in his eyes that Rain can’t quite place.
“I became a trainee when I was fourteen,” Rain explains. He isn’t exactly embarrassed, but for some reason talking about it to Phayu of all people is making his body temp spike. “I kissed one girl in my second year of high school. Once I started picking up steam, I never wanted to accept any of the confessions. Felt weird. Team’s had one instance of really serious feelings and has been in denial about it for… six years? Kuea’s been pining after the guy he’s been engaged to since he was three and has only started dealing with those feelings, like, eight months ago. I don’t have a lot of exposure to healthy, casual dating.”
Phayu raises an eyebrow, “Fair enough, but to be honest, I don’t think many idols do. Or child actors, or anything like that.”
”I feel much better,” Rain deadpans. “But seriously, Phi, thanks. I owe you one.”
Phayu smirks, “I might just hold you to that.”

Korean actress Park So-mi and Thai actor Prapai Theerapanyakun at the premier of Love Soars with their shared date, costar on Secret Findings and member of boy group GLAMM, Lee Noeul. The two stars happily reinforced their agreement originally made on twitter, that they were both, in fact, Lee Noeul’s date. The idol had the flowers and chocolate to prove it.
Win Guntachai ✔️ @winnoppanutguntachaiofficial
People give @jeong-woo-GLAMM a lot of shit for not being on twitter a lot but he doesn’t actually remember his password, the staff do. So, from him, looking great @lee-noeul-GLAMM @prapai-theerapanyakun-official @parksomi-official
Olympic athletes or models?? @thisstartedwithyuzuruhanyu
@winnoppanutguntachaiofficial so many questions. Does Jeong-woo hate twitter that much? Does he know his other social medias? Why are you together this late at night?

@winnoppanutguntachaiofficial @thisstartedwithyuzuruhanyu Yes, no except for his personal (which, yes, it privated), and movie night.

[Story Description: Kuea sits at a table in a dark room, part of a large, red light shown behind him. Next to him sits Khondiao, holding out a take out box to him. Text over the middle of the picture reads ‘forced breaks 🫤’]
[Story Description: Team is on the far left, sitting on a large, plush couch, arm extending behind the camera to take the picture. Kuea is frowning and visibly grumpy next to him, squished between him and Rain. Khondiao and Sky sit next to them, ignoring the idols as they discuss something. Text over the picture reads ‘I can never tell these dumb bitches anything, i didn’t even invite them, they just said “youre not working” im gonna commit a crime’]
[Story Description: In a very different environment, Kuea is smiling, sitting on a counter. Behind him, Pharm stands over a pot on the stove, wearing an apron. Sky is leaning over one shoulder, with a polite distance, to watch carefully. Rain is plastered on Pharm’s other side, squinting at the food and visibly trying to push closer. Manow is grappling with Team in the background. ‘We’ve invaded Pharm’s apartment. There’s no alcohol yet but Rain’s hiding something. Three people have already misplaced their phone, only two instances were resolved. This is going to devolve eventually.’]

[Image Description: Kuea, Team, and Rain are all asleep on the couch, all tangled together. Sky is also in the pile, at Rain’s side, but awake, talking to Manow and Pharm, who are sitting on the floor.]
They act like they’re irresponsible party animals and not overworked performers who’ve been employed since they were in middle school 🧐
Manowww ✨✨
For the record, they passed out at ten pm. And all of them opened some work, email or schedule or something, at one point or another every hour-ish.

Kuea’s spent his whole life thinking he was irresponsible because he wears black, plays drums, and stays up late. As if those don’t all directly relate to his job

also for the record, mostly for Manow because she hasn’t been paying attention, Khondiao and Kuea have both gotten not at all worried ‘check-in’ texts about every hour>>>Khondiao 🌼🪷

@noeul-lee-GLAMM please tell me there are more collabs coming up because the recent stuff has been so exciting!!
“Hi, hi, hi!” Rain smiles brightly, watching a few first messages come in, excitingly greeting him back. “What’s going on, how are you all doing?”
”Heyo!” Team pops his head into frame. “What’s up guys?” He ducks back out of view, doing something on his phone.
Rain rolls his eyes, “Distracted much?”
Team pouts, “Hey, I’m not, like, ignoring them or whatever. Look, I’m just trying to sort this out, I’m done.” He puts the phone down. “Hey, everyone, good morning, good afternoon, good evening, good night. Really depends on where you are. We’ve got a bit of free time this afternoon so we wanted to reach out to you guys, talk a bit about all the craziness that’s been going on recently.”
”Also, you know, interviewers talk about our work and stuff, you guys ask me about my favorite movies,” Rain shrugs. “More fun in my opinion.”
parksomiourQUEEN: omgg hi guys noeul hows filming going??
Glammdropsolotracks: are there more collabs coming up in promotions and stuff??? It’s so fun to find out about the wild
prapaiinSFpromos😍: when are we gonna see more content from you for SF??? Are you gonna be at the premiere party?
whrruserseven??: omg JEONG-WOO! ARE WE GETTING A NEW SINGLE OR EP???
avengersdisassembleorsmth: JEONG-WOO NOEUL YOU GUYS LOOK SO PRETTYYYYYY
”Okay, um,” Rain scans over the messages, “Unfortunately, I know there is going to be some sort of premiere event for the pilot of Secret Findings, but from what the schedule looks like right now, I won’t be able to attend. What information did they give out about the premiere? All you guys know is that it’s coming out near the end of the year? Yeah, yeah, there’s obviously a schedule for the entire production process, and it should be premiering in December. I probably won’t be able to make it at that point.”
Team grins, “Which brings us to one of the things we are allowed to say! More official info to come, but at the end of autumn we’re going to be traveling to Europe for reasons!”
whrruserseven??: OMGOMG?? TOUR EUROPE PERFORMANCE??
playthatblink127song: NEW TOUR?? OR MUSIC FESTIVALS??
qilinchillin’: holy fuckkk no way????
glammflyhighhhh: R U COMING TO FRANCE?? PLS PLSPLS COME TO FRANCE
flightorflight: GLAMM PLS COME TO PORTUGAL PLEASSSSSE
“Now, now, no spoilers,” Team snarks, “you’ll just have to be patient. There’ll be news soon.”
“And that’s not the main thing, anyway,” Rain winks. “We’ve been really busy lately, we want to catch up with our darling GEMMs.”
9lammie: Ahhh we missed you guyysss toooo
Buttercupgemm: tell us more about how it was working on other projects!!
speedy.stanz: Jeong-woo what was it like working with actual athletes, do you miss competing?
”Oh, Jeong-woo,” Rain tugs him by the collar, “There. Did modeling with P’Win and P’Dean make you miss swimming?”
Team frowns, “I mean, sort of. I guess I’ve never talked about this with you guys, huh? I miss swimming, I do, I never get to do it as much as I want to, considering that when I was doing it, it was like twelve or fourteen hours a week, you know? But I miss it the same amount as I would miss dancing and performing if I became a professional swimmer. I don’t regret the choice I made, I just wish I could compete casually. Competitive sports are a big commitment, so I can’t just sign up for a relay on a Friday afternoon.”
”You should see him when we do get to go swimming,” Rain jokes. “Me and Kuea are, like, splashing around and doing handstands and he’s just swimming laps around us. He tries to get us to race like he won’t absolutely smoke us.”
skztoxicyoai: you guys go swimming together???
”We go swimming together?” Rain repeats. “Yeah, whenever there’s a chance, Jeong-woo gets so excited that at least one and usually both of us get dragged into it.” Team stands up and walks to the table, scooping up an open styrofoam box. “I told you to finish before we went live.”
Team glares, “Yeah, which made me rush. I’ve decided I’m not done, and I shall be left alone about it.”
”You’re so annoying,” Rain huffs. “Ignore him, guys, he’s grouchy. There’s other things to talk about, like me! The other day…”
Praapaai 🌪️ ✔️ @prapai-theerapanyakun-official
what are you supposed to do when your idol is bored? We have plenty of enrichment, we have cool outfits and bright makeup and acting, and we’re following what the internet says about diet.
Secret Findings in Filming! @Theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan
@prapai-theerapanyakun-official you see idols are different from their close relatives actors, they tend to also need singing/dancing as enrichment. I remember something about tiktok dances?butterfliesglitterandfelt @mrfistsfists
@prapai-theerapanyakun-official @Theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan yes yes you are correct, Prapai if your idol does get proper TikTok dance enrichment he’ll need to go to the vet. Consult a professional like Manager Sky.Noeul 🌧️ ✔️ @noeul-lee-GLAMM
@prapai-theerapanyakun-stan @mrfistsfists I’d be very offended if I wasn’t exactly the type of person who needs to think through their enrichmentbutterfliesglitterandfelt @mrfistsfists
@prapai-theerapanyakun-stan @noeul-lee-GLAMM neurodivergent, you mean?
“I will give you so much money if you get Prapai to post TikToks with you,” Phayu laughs.
”Seconded,” Sky tacks on immediately. Rain knows Sky needs to take every opportunity to call Prapai out, to deny any honest feelings toward the very attractive actor who keeps flirting with him.
“You act like it’s some public humiliation, I have a lot of fun when I do them.” Rain says distractedly as he drags Prapai over, “And they’ll either come out really well or I find out that Prapai Theerapanyakun has two left feet and no sense of rhythm.”
“It’ll be the former,” Prapai assures immediately. “Just ‘cus I don’t dance professionally doesn’t mean I’m completely incapable.” Sky rolls his eyes.
Noeul Lee 🌧️(GLAMM)
[Video Description: Heartbeat Drum by P1Harmony plays over Rain standing next to Prapai. Over the first couple of lines, Rain does several simple moves. As the beat picks up, Prapai copies the movements, performatively poorly. Rain shakes his head and shoos him to the side as the chorus picks up in earnest, doing a full set of choreography for the first half of the chorus. He steps to the side and Prapai moves to the center, copying the movements over the repeated movements properly with a wide grin.]

filmnerdbutnotsnobb
for a second i was wondering why a random idol came across my fyp but this is really cute!! Looking good Prapai
Rain has a bad habit of being impulsive, he is well aware of this. And awareness is important, it’s what helps him address the issue. When something sticks with him for this long, it usually means something. Maybe not something good, but something worth thinking about a bit. So Rain does what he always does, he goes to his best friend. “I want to come out, like, publically.”
Sky stares at him calculatingly, and for a moment he seems aggravated, but it melts away. “Why?” He asks slowly.
”Before Kuea’s wedding. I mean it, Sky, he’s already gonna get shit for getting married, and for being gay. I at least don’t want him to stick out like a sore thumb, I don’t want him to stand out that much more.” Rain doesn’t think it’s a bad reason. Maybe just throwing himself in front of the mob wouldn’t be, but he has wanted to do this for a while. This is just a reason to do it now.
Sky taps his foot, a reoccurring habit to deal with excessive energy, “I’ll bring it up, see what I can do.” It isn’t like Rain can just get Sky’s approval. Sky is Rain’s age, the only reason he’s able to be one of their managers is because Rain’s friendliness with him resulted in Sky being close with all the members of GLAMM by the time GLAMM was created. But he’s viciously efficient and a hell of an employee, he has his respect in the office, for the most part. “Be a hero all you want, Rain, I know you’re an empathetic person. But don’t make yourself a martyr.”
Sky looks scared, just the slightest bit, and it’s unnerving, but one of the assistants calls Sky away. At just the same time, Phayu appears at Rain’s side. Quietly, he asks, “What was I just hearing about making a martyr of yourself?”
”Oh,” Rain laughs, “it was just, uh—”
Phayu knits his brows, “Rain… you can’t make a martyr out of yourself, because you won’t be left alone.” He cracks a small, reassuring smile, “You’ve got plenty of people who aren’t gonna throw you to the wolves.” It’s making Rain nervous, all of the sudden, the thought of coming out to Phayu. There are rumors about Prapai, of course most of those talk about salacious affairs when it obviously just means ‘with a man’ but still, that sort of rumor does mean he might be queer. But regardless of his feelings for Phayu, there’s a difference between having feelings for a man who doesn’t reciprocate and having feelings for a man who’s homophobic.
“Oh my shit, wait,” Rain groans, “You know Kuea and Lian, you’re— okay, I’m a moron.” Phayu gives him a questioning look. “I asked Sky about… well, I’d like to come out before Kuea gets married.”
Phayu’s eyes soften, “share the media outrage?”
”Yeah,” Rain laughs. “And, you know, there’s a whole air that I’m gonna get right in the middle of after the show, there’s a whole thing about actors being queer or not that just feels a bit wrong no matter what stance you take. It would make me feel really weird about it, I think.”
”Wait, after the show?” Phayu asks.
Rain grins, “Oh, you don’t know, do you?” He can resist giggling. Maybe, just maybe, he gets a little embarrassed about the whole topic. “I have to make out with Prapai in the finale, you actually didn’t know?”
Phayu stares for a long moment, “I… did not. Is this why you were freaking out about not having a lot of experience?”
It’s Rain’s turn to go silent. “It is now.” Phayu has the gall to chuckle. “Why would you say that? Come on, I’m not gonna stop thinking about that now, oh my god. Am I a bad kisser? This is the plot of a movie for thirteen-year-olds! I’m too old to be asking myself a question like that!” Rain rubs his hands over his face. “You did this to me!” He shoves Phayu’s shoulder with very little force.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry.” Phayu has that stupid, indulging smile and golden, tanned skin. He has dark eyes, sparkling with humor, and he’s leaning just close enough for this whole conversation to be muttered, and Rain might be losing his mind.
Noeul 🌧️ ✔️ @noeul-lee-GLAMM

Phayu ⛈️⛈️⛈️
??heyyy where do you live
?Like youre in the city, right
ik Prapai has a condo but i act dont know about u
I live in the city too
Is something wrong, Rain?
?Uhhh i just reall want to get away from the dorms
i got a very strongly worded email about the consequences of acting recklessly over a trivial matter of mere personal importance
That trivial matter of personal importance being your sexuality?
unfortunately
I’ll send you my address, you’re more than welcome here. I can come pick you up if you need.
oh that’s the part I’ve got covered 😉
my mom gave me a like eight year old sedan when i could drive and its so beat up its p much incognito for the big famous idol
That sounds useful
oh you’ve no idea the shenanigans that have been gotten up to
Rain manages to get out of the dorms easily enough, they aren’t exactly held captive or something. He only has to not be seen by a couple of specific people who would ask him questions, and he’s on the road in five minutes. The drive to Phayu’s is a bit long, he lives further out instead of being at the heart of the city. Rain finds out why soon enough, because rather than pulling up to some luxury apartment complex, that is fully a house. He can’t say mansion, because it’s not that big or, like, grandiose but at the same time it is large and modern and very expensive looking. Phayu is leaning against the door frame when Rain pulls to a stop. “You’ve no idea how much this means to me,” Rain smiles.
Phayu leans to the side to let Rain in, “Anytime. I get the feeling of being stifled.”
Rain moves into the sleek foyer, “That’s the reason for all of this? Big, fancy house with all the modern amenities?”
”It was actually a pet project before it was a place to call my own,” Phayu explains. “I designed it.”
Rain blinks at him, “the house?”
”If I wasn’t an actor, I’d be an architect. It’s always been an interest of mine.”
Rain shakes his head in utter disbelief, “I think this qualifies as you being an architect. You designed a building, it’s an architect thing. Do you live here alone?”
Phayu leads him down a large hallway into a large open room, with an L-shaped couch. “No, my brother lives here too.”
”I didn’t know you had a brother.”
”And I didn’t know we had a guest,” a voice says from the side of the room. A young man stands halfway up the staircase, leaning over the railing. He has a lazy smile and bright eyes, somewhat resembling Phayu. “Which is rude, really, because I’m a better host than you, Yu, so I feel like I should know.” He starts back down the stairs. “I’m Saifah, by the way.”
Rain returns his smile, “Lee Noeul, just call me Rain.”
”Oh, I’ve heard a lot about you,” Saifah says excitedly. “You’re working with Prapai, right? You have my pity.”
Rain bursts out laughing, “Everyone says that! I know he’s a bit extra but come on, he’s fun. And despite all the extravagance while he does it, he’s good at his job.”
”You haven’t been dealing with extravagance since you were born,” Saifah points out.
”You talk like you aren’t almost as bad,” Phayu fires back. There is light and easy humor between the brothers, none of the weight of expectations that dog your steps when you live in your workplace. Rain feels more at ease than he has in a while.
Notes:
I have a lot of fun with PhayuRain in this fic, they’re so cutie pie (no pun intended) and I get to add the fun little spice of people shipping Prapai x Rain online lol
Edit: there were some formatting issues that i found idk abt what happened cus the only way i have to diff insta and TikTok is that insta was always bolted and italicized and TikTok was just bolted but apparently i forgot to italicize a bunch fucking whoops.

Be honest, is this at all enough food to count as a meal? I need to make a point.

@Phayu-theerapanyakun-official No it absolutely isn’t and I swear to god you better tell him that he needs to eat more than that.Secret Findings in Filming! @Theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan

@Phayu-theerapanyakun-official @Theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan RIGHT?? Like What is going on, What has summoned manager Sky into public view, What has led to Phayu having access to Noeul(?)s breakfast/lunch, What is this i feel like im Missing somethingTeacher Please was the peak of music act @liarleah!!

@kuea-GLAMM how would you know?
”You look exhausted, P’Prapai,” Rain comments quietly. They don’t have too long of a break on days like this, and Prapai hides it well, but there’s a slight shadow dragging down his every movement. “Did something happen?”
Prapai glances at him, “You’re way more perceptive than you seem. It’s, ah, it’s nothing, I just had some trouble sleeping last night.” Rain stares at him carefully. He doesn’t look upset, per se, but there’s tightness in his muscles. His whole body is stiff with tension. Rain tries to follow his gaze, but he keeps sweeping over the whole room, never settling on anything. Except when his eyes keep drawing back to Sky and shooting away, only to repeat the process.
”What kept you up?” Rain asked innocently. For good measure, he adds, “I can’t imagine there’s much out of reach for a man like you.”
Prapai snorts, “You’d be surprised.” After a moment, perhaps of waiting for more banter, he turns to Rain, receiving a playful look. He narrows his eyes, “You mentioned something earlier, though. When did you meet Saifah? He doesn’t like bothering around sets and stuff, never cared for the publicity and stuff.” It’s Rain’s turn to shrink back. “And didn’t this whole food fiasco start with Phayu critiquing the lunch you were making early this morning. I think I recognized the countertop in that picture.” Rain knows he’s turning red, but Prapai isn’t giving up, only waiting for a response.
“I didn’t mean to spend the night,” Rain argues weakly. “I just wanted to get out of the dorms for a bit. P’Phayu and P’Saifah were very welcoming and kind, and I just… oh my god, leave me alone! This doesn’t change the fact that you visibly lost sleep because you were having wet dreams about my manager!” Having it said so openly manages to fluster even Prapai.
”Damn, okay, you don’t hold back,” Prapai mutters.
“What’s going on?” Sky pops up out of nowhere. Both Rain and Prapai jump. “You know what, I don’t want to know. Lunch is done in five, have whatever this is half-settled in time to get back on set.”

There are two wolves inside of you. One of them wants to remain somewhat factual and try to avoid baseless gossip. The other desperately wants to talk about whatever the fuck has been going on with a) kuea and his fiancé, b) Jeong-woo and professional Olympic swimmer Win Guntachai, and c) Noeul and high profile actors Prapai and Phayu Theerapanyakun. You are me.

[Story Description: Both Rain and Team sitting at a table, hunched over a laptop. Text reads ‘they act like fighting in their fucking insta stories isn’t going to get them in the same trouble as straight up fighting’.]
”This has got to stop,” Kuea mutters to Sky. “Between the modeling and acting they’ve both been working out as much as possible to keep up their physique, and they’ve been rehearsing choreo. I’ve been burning the candle on both ends trying to lighten their burden while preparing for the comeback. We all need a break before we enter crunch time. A couple of days to reset to normal, healthy behavior.”
Sky sighs, “I know. I’ve been talking to the higher ups. Most of them would rather give you a long weekend now than have someone collapse a month before you go on tour. I’m trying to work out the kinks.”
”I can lean on ‘em,” Kuea suggests. “We get a lot of leeway thanks to my name, and I don’t much care if they think I’m spoiled for giving my members a break.”
”That would probably help,” Sky admits. “I guess that leaves talking to them,” he gestures to Team and Rain, “to me.” Kuea smirks, and he groans. “At least I can call on some decent backup this time. Give them a reason to take the time off.”
A smile stretches over Kuea’s face, “A big get together would be nice, actually. Really, we don’t get to socialize enough. The one damn thing I miss about school.”

He is fully in costume, with flowing, twisting silks over his body and alluring makeup on his face. The second shows Prapai holding Rain in a half-head lock, caught mid-motion trying to mess up his hair. The third shows Rain and So-mi holding up matching silver rings, each with a crest on the front, though either symbol is difficult to make out. The last shows all three actors, along with many other people, smiling for a group picture. Prapai stands on Rain’s left, followed by So-mi, but on Rain’s right stands Phayu, caught in the act of whispering something to a snickering Rain.]
I had so much fun with everyone on set, I’m going to miss it here! I really hope I get to work with all of these wonderful people again, and I hope you all join us when Secret Findings airs this December!

Everything about these pictures is so insane because why is Noeul’s character giving succubus, what is going on with those fancy ass rings, everything about noeul and Phayu theerapanyakun honestly

never wanted to know anything more than what Phayu is saying to noeul in that last pic. I care far too much i fear
ourlordanddragonsaviorkuea
im so enamored with the complicated and strange things that have been happening with GLAMM since noeul started filming Secret Findings. I hope we don’t lose this strange energy because goddamn are things happening
Rain is not hiding on his own set. He isn’t. He doesn’t have to be on set right now anyway, so who cares if he wants a little peace and quiet.
“Found you.” Fuck. Phayu walks out from around a corner, one eyebrow raised. Rain ducks his head to avoid looking at the irritatingly attractive man. “You are nervous, aren’t you?”
Rain groans, “Only because of you. You’re the one who brought it up in the first place. I might not have any feelings for Prapai, but it’s still gonna be sort of embarrassing if I can’t keep up with him. That’s just, like, anyone with anxiety. It doesn’t matter if you hate someone, you still don’t want to embarrass yourself in front of them.”
Phayu smiles softly and closes the distance between them. “You worry too much. I don’t think you’re the one who should be nervous in this situation, but I might be biased.” Rain isn’t sure he gets what that means, but the other man isn’t perturbed as he leans in closer. “You really don’t get it? You undervalue yourself that much?” There’s something undercutting Phayu’s voice, equal parts teasing and testing. Something about Phayu has always been paradoxical like that. He sparks nerves and excitement through Rain, but at the same time puts him at ease. Phayu reaches out and gently grabs his chin, pushing his head up so their eyes meet.
”P’Phayu?” Rain asks breathlessly, fighting back the deep flush threatening to overwhelm his cheeks. Sure, Phayu is warm, and sweet, and Rain knows that they’ve come to care about each other, but he still can’t be quite sure about what’s going on. Phayu is untouchable, not something one could dare covet, but he’s looking at Rain like he’s thinking the exact same thing about him.
”I understand it though,” Phayu murmurs, not needing to speak any louder given their proximity. There’s a slight smirk on his lips, “Not wanting to have your first real kiss as a role on screen.” Rain lets out a soft breath, flicking his eyes to Phayu’s lips for a moment. “I can help with that, though.” Rain knows he can’t reply, he can barely keep up with the conversation, but he makes a small, needy noise almost subconsciously. It’s all Phayu needs to lean forward and press their lips together.
It sparks something, fiery and sharp, in Rain’s chest. He moves hesitantly at first, but Phayu’s hand finds his waist and it is enough to spur Rain forward, reaching up to wrap his arms around Phayu’s neck and pulling him in closer. Phayu hums against his mouth and pushes him into the wall, tilting Rain’s head up a little further and deepening the kiss. Rain whines despite himself, frantic for more of the warmth of Phayu’s skin. When Phayu finally pulls away, Rain is breathing hard, desperate for breath but even more desperate for the press of Phayu’s lips. The man chuckles at whatever look Rain unintentionally gives him. “I know, baby,” he croons, voice deep and rich as honey and wow, Rain did not realize how into Phayu he was until right now. “I’m not all too pleased with the idea of you walking back in there and kissing anyone else, let alone Prapai, but I know how it is for you both, and I have no desire to get in the way of your work.” He leans in and pecks Rain on the lips, “But I couldn’t resist at least doing this first. I promise I’ll take you out on a nice date and be all proper about it.”
At Phayu’s casual intimacy, Rain is finally able to make his body listen to him again. “I can’t even say you have the worst timing,” he mutters, “because you do this on purpose. I still have to get through this damn day acting normal.”
Phayu hums, “Oh? Are you embarrassed? You just pretend this didn’t happen until you’re done with work, isn’t acting what you’re here for?” Holy shit, he really is bitter about this thing with Prapai. Rain hadn’t taken Phayu for the jealous type, he was so calm and sure of himself. Phayu leans in again and presses a featherlight kiss to Rain’s cheekbone. “I’m sorry, I don’t mean to tease.” That’s just a lie. “Forgive me?” He pulls back just enough to look Rain in the eyes.
Rain ducks his head, “Maybe I will, if you make it up to me.”
Phayu laughs lightly, “Now who’s teasing, naughty boy?” Rain knows it is probably biologically impossible to blush any more, but he feels like his face is just getting redder and redder, even as he can’t hold back a smile. Phayu catches his lips in one more kiss, pressing him against the wall again. “But I really can’t resist when you’re looking at me like that.” Rain bites his lip in a weak attempt to hold back a massive grin, but he knows Phayu sees it anyway.
“You keep going like this and I’m going to be way too wired to do my job,” Rain huffs. As much as he loathes the very thought, he needs to be calm and level headed when he goes in for filming. The overwhelming joy and excitement currently coursing through his veins won’t serve him well in trying to act the part of a cool and sexy fox demon.
“My apologies,” Phayu says, “I don’t mean to be a bother.”
“That’s—!” Rain looks up sharply to catch the sly grin on Phayu’s face. “That’s not what I meant,” he finishes meekly.
“I know,” Phayu whispers. “I leave you alone, for now.” Rain is going to implode.
Qilin 🐉 ✔️ @kuea-GLAMM
Just to make sure no one is startled, GLAMM is having a long weekend in between periods of hard work. My threat of force, by ME, GLAMM is effectively disbanded for the next four days. I’m sorry, but if I leave the window open to twitter and insta, it leaves a window open for google sheets and email. See you guys on Monday.

@kuea-GLAMM @peachhhh I’ve taken up position to snipe any haters who attack them for taking a long weekend, sir, o7Secret Findings in Filming! @Theerapanyakunactorsbiggeststan
@kuea-GLAMM @33maraya33 Secret Findings fandom is riding high on adrenaline after all the posts that came with Noeul’s departure, you’ll have reinforcements if you need them sir, o7
Kuea really loves his fans sometimes. He closes his laptop and puts it in his desk drawer just in time for the doorbell to ring. He has to run downstairs to get it because he has gotten way too complacent in letting Lian handle… just, people, at their shared home. Usually no one just shows up what he refuses to call a fucking man cave, no matter what Team says, so someone is just here way too early. A huge majority of people who ever come to his dragon den (not a fucking man cave) is just Khondiao. Kuea’s best friend alone makes up literally ninety percent of guests.
He opens the door to find a very panicked looking Rain, of all things, chewing on his lip and kneading his hands. “Tell me,” Kuea demands to give Rain the kick in the ass he needs to be present enough to explain anything.
”P’Phayu and I kissed,” Rain blurts, “I held it together for filming but oh my fucking god I think I’m having a panic attack.” Kuea grabs his arm and gently tugs him inside, walking down the front hallway.
“Okay, I don’t think you’re fully having a panic attack, but you’re overwhelmed. I’m gonna need you to close your mouth and try to breathe through your nose to avoid building up to hyperventilating. I’ll get you a bottle of water.” Rain nods distractedly and slumps onto the couch while Kuea turns to the kitchen. He made himself one promise when he became the leader of GLAMM, and that was that he would never take Team’s appetite or Rain’s anxiety lightly. No matter how foolish something might seem, he didn’t care as long as Team is eating and Rain is talking.
Kuea returns to the living area to find Rain breathing close to normally, so he hands over the water. Rain gulps down half the bottle, but when he’s done, he doesn’t need any more prompting. “It’s not even like anything bad happened, but holy fuck, Phayu kissed me. He asked me out on a date! I think.” Ah, there’s the problem.
”What exactly did he say, about the date? We’ll start there.” Kuea moves close and pulls Rain into his side with an arm around the younger boy’s shoulders.
“Uhm, well his exact words, well basically he kissed me, or we kissed? And then obviously we had to talk about it, ‘cus what?!” Rain talks in a roundabout manner when he’s like this, because he doesn’t always know what he is or isn’t supposed to say. Kuea doesn’t mind just letting it happen. “So he, gosh it feels so weird to talk about it because he wanted to kiss me. P’Phayu wanted to kiss me, holy shit.” Rain shakes his head a little, “Anyway, he said, uhm, he said that he wanted to kiss me before the, uh, whole scene with Prapai, but that he’d take me on a nice, proper date.”
”Okay,” Kuea nods, “That definitely counts as asking you out. It’s not so different to ask ‘will you go on a date with me’ and say ‘I’m taking you on a date’.
Rain nods slowly, “Yeah, yeah you’re right. But what do I do? Do I call him?”
This time Kuea cuts off the rant, “There’s no protocol on this part. But I think you should, because I think you want to talk to him, to set your feelings and the record straight.” Rain nods slowly, looking up from Kuea’s shoulder. “You wanna wait a few minutes and get your head on straight?” Another nod. “Just don’t wait too long, or your anxiety is gonna start swarming.”

@jeong-woo-GLAMM who does that mean? Win? Dean? Prapai? Phayu? I so desperately wanna knowGlitzz&Glamm @stanhwasa
@jeong-woo-GLAMM @mrfistsfists oh now he’s entered the dark age, not after the first tweet
Team grabbed Manow and Pharm on the way, relayed the address to Pharm to text Dean because apparently he forgot, even though he’s sure he didn’t, and didn’t get lost once until they pulled right into Kuea’s driveway. Someone pulled in right behind them in a very expensive car.
”P’Lian!” Team recognizes as the man gets out of his stupid super car or whatever. “I haven’t seen you in forever. You remember Pharm and Manow?”
Lian doesn’t look friendly, but he has something of a resting bitch face. He’s nothing but friendly as he replies, “Hello, Team. And yes, I believe I’ve met your friends before.”
There’s something to the way he says it, and— “Oh, yeah, I forgot Pharm’s more famous than us.” Team turns to his friends to clear up the confusion, “For a total nepobaby, P’Lian’s a damn good cook, but he can’t bake. He wants some of your pastry recipes.”
Lian sighs, “Those are Kuea’s words, verbatim, aren’t they?” Team nods, holding back his laughter. “I do very much appreciate your culinary skills, nong Pharm.” Pharm goes a little bit red, so Team starts ushering them inside.
“I hope you have no plans of cooking tonight, P’Lian. We love your food, but we’re ordering. There’s just too many people.”
This startles a small chuckle from Lian, “Don’t worry, Kuea already delivered that lecture, in full.” The door swings open, not Kuea but Rain, wearing a goofy grin.
“You’re here,” he looks over Team’s shoulder. “Oh, P’Lian too. P’Kuea,” he calls back, “Your fiancé is here.” He steps to the side. “Come in, come in.”
”What are you doing here early?” Team teases.
Rain pouts at him, “I’ll have you know that it doesn’t take a crisis for me to get somewhere early. This time it was, but overall—”
”Overall, you’re barely even on time for most things,” Team interrupts. “P’Kuea!” He launches himself at his friend and tackles him into a hug, and then gets up just as quickly. “Okay, you can go to your boy toy now.” Kuea chokes on his sudden laughter and takes a moment before he can greet everyone else, before leaning up and pecking his fiancé on the cheek.
”Pharm!” Rain grins, hugging the boy, and then Manow. “I’m glad you guys could come.”
Manow returns the hug eagerly, “We missed our favorite boys. The closest we’ve been able to get is seeing you vicariously through this nerd.” She jerks a thumb at Team. “Between you and Pharm, please tell me we’re baking something.”
”I want to,” Rain shrugs once Manow releases him, “I’m not gonna force Pharm to help.”
Pharm winks, “Many have tried to keep me away from a kitchen, none have succeeded. What did you have in mind?”
”Nothing as fancy as you’re used to,” Rain chuckles.
Team turns away, “Kuea! Who else is showing up?”
Kuea pauses, “Uh, you guys, I’ve got three Theerapanyakuns incoming—”
”P’Saifah’s coming? Hell yea!” Rain grins.
”— Win and Dean, obviously, Khondiao and P’Yi, um… Sky goes without saying but I don’t actually know where he’s at.”
Rain sticks up his hand, “He’s on his way. Texted if I needed a lift, told him I was already here. You know, he had the same reaction as Team.” Kuea snorts. There’s no smart remark, but Rain still glares, albeit weakly. He knows he doesn’t really have a leg to stand on, he loses track of time too easily.
“It’s been a while since I’ve seen Prapai or Phayu,” Lian hums. “I did see Win a couple of weeks ago, but still.”
Kuea stares judgmentally, “You have way more relaxed of a schedule than us, how do you never see your friends? You’re so antisocial.” Lian frowns slightly, but doesn’t argue either. ”You’re so lucky you have me.”
”That I am,” Lian responds, smiling softly.
“Ew, love,” Rain sneers from where he has flopped back onto the couch.
Kuea looks over his shoulder, “You wanna talk, pretty boy?”
Rain blanches, “No. Not today, no.” Team and Manow exchange looks, successfully redirected. Unfortunately, the doorbell rings again.
Kuea checks his phone, “That would be Win and Dean.” A timer rings out. “Oh, uh, could someone get the door?”
”I got it!” Pharm offers happily. Kuea gives him a grateful smile and drags Lian off to the kitchen.
“I hope he didn’t try to make appetizers,” Team mutters to Rain.
”Don’t worry,” he mutters back, “I helped, nothing should cause food poisoning.” Team nods sagely. After a couple of moments, Pharm appears in the hallway, chatting with Dean and Win. It’s comical to see him standing between them, dwarfed on either side.
“Hia Win,” Team greets. “P’Dean. I’m glad you guys could make it.”
Rain pops up from the couch, “Any word on Khondiao? I need to ask him something very important.”
”Is it actually important?” Manow asks, “Or is it important?”
”The latter,” Rain replies without hesitation. “If anyone knows the stupidest things P’Kuea’s ever done, it’s him.”
”Wouldn’t that be Lian?” Dean asks.
Pharm shakes his head, “Not at all. Boyfriend is who you’ve gotta look good for, best friend is who you call when you’re about to make or have just made an absolute fool of yourself and don’t want boyfriend and-or crush to know. And I can’t believe they managed to be dating and crushing on each other simultaneously, by the way.”
”You sure know a lot,” Manow teases, “Got a lot of experience with one making a fool of themself?”
“Yes?” Pharm blinks, “Look at you and Team.” Rain bursts out laughing as both Team and Manow start hollering their displeasure.
~~~
Honestly, Rain is enjoying himself. As intimidating as a lot of this company can be, Kuea’s darling and Team’s seniors are quite nice. Rain only takes a break and heads to the back yard for fresh air because they’re here. Phayu had promised they’d talk tonight, in fact he insisted upon it, because he hadn’t the time earlier and refused to leave Rain hanging.
Phayu seems to be keeping his word, because he finds Rain outside almost immediately. He doesn’t wait for Rain to start, “Now why did you run away from me, pretty boy?”
Rain really wishes he wasn’t so flustered, “I— I didn’t…”
Phayu sits down next to him and leans in, “Sweetheart, I’m not going to get mad at you, but you did run from me.” God damn him, always with the nicknames. It’s very distracting. “I know you’re flustered, but I didn’t like it when my pretty boy up and disappeared on me so suddenly.”
”I… panicked,” Rain explains weakly. Phayu reaches up and brushes his hair to the side, sweeping behind his ear then running his hand down Rain’s jawline.
”I know, but next time I want you to come to me, when you’re panicked, not run from me.” Phayu’s dark eyes look infinitely deep, it’s unfathomable to Rain how much attention is focused solely on him.
He takes a deep breath and meets Phayu’s gaze, “You were the one I talked to about how I’ve never really dated, never really seen anyone. And… you know what it’s like, for idols. This is just really complicated.” His breath stutters, “I just need you to be considering that.”
Phayu knits his brows, “I know, Rain. We’re both public figures, but you’d be under much more scrutiny than me, and I hate that it has to be that way. But that doesn’t mean I’m willing to live my life trying to obey hundreds of contradicting social rules and meaningless opinions.”
”It’s not fair,” Rain replies miserably. “I’m scared, and I don’t know how this is going to go, and that’s not fair to you.”
Phayu looks incredulous, “Rain, part of wanting to be with you involves, you know, your emotions. I just told you, I want to be the person you run to when you’re scared. So I can hold you and tell you it’ll be alright.”
“Why?” Rain’s voice is barely a whisper.
Phayu shakes his head, “I can’t give you a reason, that’s not how it is. But if you’d like me to list contributing factors, well… you’re sweet and compassionate, and naturally an open minded person. You’re gorgeous, and every time I look at you it’s a struggle to look away. You’re incredibly talented and so dedicated to whatever you do.” Rain was not built to handle this kind of praise, he isn’t used to this much genuine adoration coming at him all at once. “If you don’t understand it right now, then you aren’t going to. I hope one day you can. But it is true, and so is what I said before. I want to take you out on a date, I want to be there for you when you’re scared or hurting, I want to be with you. Will you let me?”
God, he wants this. He wants it so bad it’s painful. He doesn’t know why Phayu is offering this to him, to be a shield, a sanctuary, a security blanket. And he doesn’t know how he’s going to do it, he doesn’t know how they do this. But he desperately wants to try. “It’ll be an open secret. I can’t own up to that in public, at least for a while. And… it’ll be difficult for you, people won’t—”
”I don’t care what people say to me, or about me,” Phayu insists. He grabs Rain’s hands in his own, pulling them close. “Rain, I need you to tell me, now, what you want.”
”You,” Rain breathes out before he even considers it. With a smirk, Phayu pulls him in. The kiss only lasts for a few moments, but it reminds Rain exactly why this debate has stuck in his head since the first press of Phayu’s lips. The man is all consuming.
“Not much worth doing is easy,” Phayu hums, “and a lot of things to do with our personal lives are difficult for people like us. Don’t let it stop you from living your life.” Rain could fall into his embrace for eternity.

Notes:
Canon PhayuRain!!!! I really love the kiss/confession scene i wrote by the way cus it started a slow but steady trend in teaching myself to write physical intimacy and im pretty proud of how it came out.
anyway this chapter has a lot of actual writing in it, sort of a deeper look into their actual lives, so I hope y’all enjoyed it
