Pond and Phuwin were close, but they surpassed their shyness, understood each other and become very close friends during nlmg. They were companions, its like no one gets them than each other. Cool
But when did they start dating?? When and how did they get married from there??? Lets get there one by one
☆
"Pond Phuwin you're on the next scene its PhumPeem first kiss scene, revive the script and be on standby" the director announced through the mic
They're shooting past midnight now but not an speck of sleep is seen in the pair's face. The reason? the scene they're about to shoot next.
PondPhuwin has kissed multiple times for their series, they're professionals they're actors but what causes the nervousness in Phuwin is his feelings for Pond.
Pond Naravit Leutratosum
his onscreen pair, his best buddy, the person he calls his best friend and the person he fell in love.
Phuwin doesn't remember how and when he fell for Pond, all he remember is with each day his feelings are growing and he certainly can't live without him.
"Phu are you ok" Pond's call shook him out of his thoughts
"I'm okay I'm just cold" Phuwin breathed out
"Come here" Pond signalled him to come near him. Phuwin got up from his seat, walked over and without hesitation, plopped down on Pond's lap. Its common for them.
He took a deep breath in, Pond's familiar scent calming him.
Pond held his hands from the back "Relax Phu this is the last scene for today we'll go to our accommodation after this ok" Pond stroked his hands softly
Phuwin noded, he already felt calm
"Pond and Phuwin on standby" the director called for them
Phuwin stood up and held his hands for Pond to get up.
The scene was set Infront of their university. Pond's character thanks Phuwin's character for the memories and at the heat of the moment the character's first kiss happens
Now here's the catch. It's Phuwin's Character who initiates the kiss and he’s is loosing his mind . Its his first time kissing him after his realization.
Phuwin shrugged off trying to focus on the scene so he can go and crashout alone
"Ready and action" the director yelled
They carried on with the dialogues and it went smoothly and then the kiss scene......
Phuwin approached Pond slowly, tilted his head and slowly connected his lips to Pond, when Pond started kissing him back, he froze
"Cut" the director yelled Phuwin pulled back suddenly
"Phu are you ok you look sick" Pond spoke out approaching Phuwin
"I - I'm ok" he sluttered out
Pond not believing him brought his palm to his forehead to check his temperature
"You're warm Phu I think you'll get a fever" Pond told out looking concerned
"I'm not having a fever I'm blushing like crazy because of you, fool" Phuwin thought, his blush hidden in the night
"Let's see that after the scene ok" Phuwin responded
"Phuwin you looked stiff there, relax and feel the kiss ok, lets retake" the director told them
"Ahh let's get over this come on" Phuwin spoke a little louder and the filming resumed.
☆
"Cut, it's perfect let's wrap up here" The director applauded and everyone started moving to quickly clear up as its already late at night. Pond and Phuwin stepped out of their roles and Phuwin felt his exhaustion to his bones. Pond, sensing his tired quickly informed the directors and dragged Phuwin with him to leave first, They got in their car Both of them sitting together in the back seat. As the car started moving Phuwin let out a sigh his thoughts along with his feelings threatening to spill out. Today was torture to Phuwin, he didn't know something like this could affect him this much.... Kissing the person you write love songs about just for the show? Pain. But what stops Phuwin from confessing is Pond's feelings towards him, He doesn't want to ruin their friendship.
"Nara I'll just sleep a bit wake me up when we reach okay" Phuwin informed Pond and snuggled up, his head resting near the windows, trying to sleep. Pond watches him with a soft look.
Pond
Pond likes Phuwin and the only person who doesn't know this will be probably Phuwin himself, I mean have you seen the way Pond looks at Phuwin even on a random tuesday, He looks at him like he hung the stars by hand. But Poor Pond doesn't know how to approach Phuwin with all his feelings without messing up what they have, which leads to this, 2 people in love but scared to say it out loud....
The kiss kept replaying in Pond's head, The way Phuwin reacted, the way his cheeks turned pink, it felt a little to personal. He was simply scrolling through his phone when the car hit a speedbreaker. Pond quickly grabbed Phuwin to avoid him hitting his head in the window. Phuwin woke up momentarily, rubbing his eyes cutely and snuggled back to sleep in Pond's shoulder like its nothing. Pond froze for a second. Its common for them, but today with what happened before, it added to Pond's thoughts......
☆
"Phu wake up we reached" Pond voiced out softly, Phuwin stirred slowly, among his thoughts and butterflies he really fell asleep due to fatigue
They got out of the car together, Pond walked with Phuwin to his room door, they stay in adjacent rooms. He say Phuwin struggling with the key so he gently took them from his hands and opened the door for him
"Thankyou" Phuwin breathed out traces of sleep still in his voice "Wanna come in" He invited
"Its ok Phu go continue your sleep you have to leave early in the morning right?"
"Yes I'm shooting Summer night tomorrow It'll go till the evening and I'm free the next day" Phuwin informed
"Sleep well Phu Good night"
"Good night Pond" Phuwin offered a smile and closed the door leaving Pond alone with his overflowing feelings. Little did he know Phuwin is standing behind the door with exactly same overflowing feelings.
Pond walked towards his own place thinking about how he just wants to cuddle Phuwin to sleep
"Never thought being in love gives this much trouble" Pond thought smiling
☆
"Cut and That's a wrap for today good work everyone" The director yelled. Phuwin sighed. Shooting back to back days is already difficult enough and on top of that he's switching between 2 very opposite roles. He's exhausted and Pond's not picking up his calls. He had to leave earlier in the morning so he didn't inform him, but he's been calling multiple times from afternoon so he's concerned.
"Hey Phuwin wanna grab dinner together" Dunk approached him
"Not today Dunk I'm in a hurry idk why Pond isn't picking up my calls" Phuwin spoke in an urgency, packing his things.
"Oh you don't know what happened, Pond's car got into a minor accident on the way here" Phuwin's heart dropped. He turned to face Dunk
"What are you saying wh- how do you know about it, ii- is he ok" Phuwin spoke in panic
"Relax Phuwin its a minor accident he might be in hospital now Joong told me I thought you already knew" Dunk replied slowly sensing his panic
"I- I have to go" Phuwin picked up his bag and ran out. He called their manager and asked about the hospital Pond is in, got into his car and started driving. He doesn't know why he's this afraid, why his hands are shaking on the steering wheel and why tears are blurring his vision. He blinked away his tears "He's fine he'll be fine" He reassured himself
Phuwin worked on autopilot, Parked his car and literally ran towards the room he's admitted in, which he got from his manager. When he opened his hospital room, the first sight that caught him was Pond laying on the hospital bed eyes closed, a plaster on his forehead and a iv hooked to his arm, Phuwin felt weak in his knees tears threatening to spill out partially due to pain and partially due to relief that he's safe.
"Oh Phuwin what happened did you run from your set or what" Phuwin spotted Joong in the hospital room couch.
"I- I yeah I've been calling him from afternoon and I don't know this happened" Phuwin spoke breathless. He walked over to Pond's bed knelt down took his hands in his. He took a proper look at his face and without knowing his tears start to flow out. Seeing Phuwin cry Joong came over and stood besides him
"How are you here how do you know?" Phuwin asked, suppressing his sob
"Well your manager told me, It'll be good for Pond if his friends are present right?"
"Then why didn't they tell me first why am I hearing it now that too from someone else?" Phuwin was genuinely hurt and afraid, Hearing that news from Dunk really broke him
"Phuwin you're overreacting he's really fine he's just sleeping due to the pain meds, stop crying please" Joong tried consoling him but nothing went through his head. Overreacting? him? He felt pathetic. He felt his heartbeat in his ears. At the end who's he to Pond, does he even have the rights to be this afraid for being just a friend? His thoughts started to spiral. He quickly stood up wiping his tears.
"Take care of him ok, keep me updated" Phuwin took a look at Pond's peaceful face, contrary to the turmoil inside him, offered a small smile to Joong and quickly went out.
He dialed his lonely gang and asked them out for drinks. He really needs it now

"Phuwin go slow you're already on your third one" Fourth called out to him
"Guysss is it overreacting to cry if you see your best friend lying in a hospital bed and actually get hurt that you're not informed about it first" Phuwin voiced out, clearly drunk.
"I see which friend we're talking about here PhuPhu" Satang called him out playfully
"I was clearly hurt and afraid you know, why can't they tell it to me first why can’t I even cry like I know its a minor injury he's well and good but I was afraid, very afraid" Phuwin complained like a kid
Sensing their friend's seriousness Fourth and Satang scooted near Phuwin and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. The silent vibe was broken by a shuffling sound near their table in the corner. Fourth and Satang looked up to see
Pond
A hour ago~
Pond slowly stirred from his slumber. Joong sensing his consciousness walked over to him
"How do you feel bro-"
"Ah I feel better the meds worked well I'm fine moreover its a small wound" Pond replied clearly.
"Well you literally made someone cry for this huh" Joong replied teasingly
"Who cried what are you taking about" Pond asked curiously
"Your 'best friend' came in and cried besides your bed even though you're really fine. I'm still figuring out why he was so panicked and cried like that"
"Phuwin came and cried??" Pond breathed out
"Where's my phone I want to meet him.... Doctor"
The doctor cleared him to go home. Pond quickly got ready, all urgent to meet Phuwin.
Pond tried calling him but he didn't pick up any calls
"You might wanna see this Pond" Joong showed him Fourth's ig story, a selfie of them in their favourite restaurant.
"Okay I'll head there then" Pond informed ready to leave
"Why the urgency bro Meet him tomorrow na" Joong was genuinely confused by his friends behavior
"No, you said he cried I want to see him" Pond's voice carried an unexplainable feeling.
"Then let's go" Joong lead the way grabbing his car keys.
Which led to them currently in the bar where lonely gang is
Pond tried to come closer but Satang signalled him to wait silently. A sob broke the silence
"Phuwin don’t cry na he's ok" Fourth said softly
"I may sound stupid, it does sound stupid even for me but you don't know, nobody knows and understands anything" Phuwin spoke louder still crying
"Don't know what Phuwin, tell us clearly Hmmmm" This time satang tried asking hism softly. Fourth signalled Pond to stay silent.
"That--That I love him. I feel soo hurt that I'm not the first person they think of something related to Pond, I don't want to be his 'Best friend' I want him to be my first person, I want to be his first person. You know how afraid I was when I heard he's in the hospital, I want to be able to express my fear of loosing him knowing people will understand. I- I just don't know when or why this happened, all I know is I love him and can't imagine my future without him by my side" Phuwin finished trying to wipe his tears.
Everyone froze watching between Pond and Phuwin with wide eyes. Pond heared his heartbeat in his ears
"Shit it seems like I messed up" Joong thought
"Phuphu why didn't you tell this before to us, why didn't you confess to Pond" Satang asked
"I don't know I was confused, with- with everything, my own feelings I don't know he likes me. I don't want to ruin what we have" Phuwin muttered slowly Pond laughed at his obliviousness.
"I have 2 fools as my friends" Fourth mumbled
"You are really dumb Phu" Satang said sighing
"I- what? why? " Phuwin asked innocently
"I think someone else will explain it well to you" Fourth moved aside. Phuwin looked at him all confused and then someone else came front and sat besides Phuwin.
"P- Pond what? What are you doing here? am I hallucinating?" Phuwin stuttered reached out a hand to touch Pond's face near the bandage in his forehead. His eyes softened
"Are you ok does it hurt?" Phuwin asked, on the verge of crying again. Pond placed his own hands above Phuwin's on his face and gave him a small smile
"I'm really ok it's minor It doesn't hurt" Pond replied softly
"I was really afraid you know"
"Yes I heard you saying that to your friends" Phuwin froze
"You heard that? Don't tell me you heard everything else" Phuwin asked suddenly fully sober
"I heard everything and I'm really sorry Phuwin we can't be friends anymore" Pond faked seriousness, removing Phuwin's hand from his face.
Behind them Fourth and Satang started laughing at the lack of colour in Phuwin's face
"I- What are you saying-- I didn't say anything" Phuwin stuttered out
"2 people in love are supposed to be lovers PhuPhu not friends" Pond beamed unable to stop smiling. Phuwin froze for the nth time today
Satang Fourth and Joong were having the time of their life.
"What do you mean Pond" Phuwin asked still not believing his ears
"It means I love you Phuphu" Pond Smiled, holding his hands
"You love me?"
"Thats right"
"P'Pond loves PhuPhu"
"Absolutely"
"And Phu also loves P'Pond"
"Well you just said it"
"So that means we're dating now"
"Well if you say okay" Pond was full on laughing at Phuwin's cute realisation. Him calling him P'Pond really reminded him of older days
"WHY WILL I EVEN SAY NO" Phuwin shouted and threw himself on Pond for a big hug. Both of them were laughing big time
"How did you even come to the conclusion that I don't like you Phuwin" Pond asked slightly pulling from the hug
"Well I don't know" Phuwin whined. Pond is really in love with this side of Phuwin. He wonders if its the alcohol
"You'll be the first one then" Pond laughed
"Then everyone else knows??!" Phuwin asked genuinely surprised looking behind his friends
"Everyone else figured out except you. I was the one who's unaware of your feelings" Pond replied
"This is crazy" Phuwin shook his head, still in Pond's arm. Joong cleared his throat to get the new couple's attention
"I'm sorry Phuwinnn Idk that you like him okayy" Joong apologized sheepishly.
"Its okay Mr Archen" Phuwin replied with a smile
"Yah a toast to the new couple!!" Fourth raised his hands. Everyone laughed and got a glass for their own.
"Don't ever cry again Phuwin it pains me okay" Pond uttered solemnly only for Phuwin to hear.
Phuwin smiled and rested his head on Pond's arm "Then you don't get hurt and stay with me forever Nara" Phuwin held out his pinky "Promise me"
"I promise" Pond looked at Phuwin interlocking their fingers.
Phuwin's heart was content Pond was happy. Their hands was intertwined all through the night. Their eyes held stars. The world can wait, for now they have the assurance of love for each other and Its just the start of their story.
