LOVELY WRITER 1

CHAPTER 1

The house in the suburbs is not mine
The real owner belongs to my grandfather who he bought, he intends to move to rest until the end of life, my grandfather has a comfortable house, surrounded by a quiet atmosphere. Diekoras in the style of a wooden house with a small pond. Since my grandfather died, no one has occupied this house. So I quit my usual job of writing novels in this place with nature as a helper. That’s why I asked for the keys from the house to occupy them.
Actually, I’m not a very nice person to look after the house, I don’t have a problem living in a condo, but sometimes I want to change the atmosphere. Don’t want anyone to bother.
Before, I’d been in this house for a week. I want to start a new BL novel that’s about to be published. But even before taking the first step, I was asked to attend the casting for the series lifted from my novel. Hin told me about it a few days ago, made me have to drive back to town and go back to my condo and it’s like I’m not coming back anytime soon.
Thinking about the tranquillity of the house, I was stunned through the car window, into the street in front of me, confronted again with chaos in the capital. Dozens of traffic lights and long traffic queues require patience. This green light isn’t even up to ten seconds.
Kring~
The cell phone placed near the front of the car rang until I snapped. My hand grabbed it. Look, you can see Hin’s name on the screen.
“Why did you call me?”
[Where are you now P?!]
I haven’t had time to finish my sentence, that son of a bitch yelled until I had to keep my phone out of my ear.
“Why are you screaming? I’m stuck in traffic near the building.”
[Oii P’s been around since half an hour ago. When will you arrive?]
“So, what do you want me to do? This street has traffic lights, five of them are red and I’ve only passed three traffic lights.”
[Can P find another way?]
“I told you if I’m stuck in traffic, how can I move?”
[ Oh, my Gosh…] He’s moaning again. [casting is about to begin.]
“I’ve told you before that you have to do it. I don’t mind the casting. I think the production guys have better judgment than me.” I moved the percenteling, pressed the button to turn on bluetooth and used wireless earphones instead because the car started turning on again. “Well, in five minutes maybe I’ll be there.”
[Okay, P. I’ll tell the guard that you’re going to come and ask him to take you to the casting room]
“Okay thank you.”
[Until P arrives, maybe the first casting will be finished, so you have time to rest, before the next casting. I’ll let the director know you’re here.]
“Um”
[Okay, bye, I’ll wait in front of the elevator] after saying that, he just hung up.
It’s not that I’m irresponsible, because it’s not timely. But it took me a long time to get to the building from my grandfather’s house, and I told Hin that it would be too late. Honestly, I still haven’t been brave enough to show myself, there’s a shame to point out that I’m the man who composed bl novels. I think it’s going to take some time to get used to.
I moved my hand to open the car’s glass window and was greeted by the entrance guard, when he realized who I was, he waved to another colleague to let my car in.
However, the weather in Thailand is always hot. As I got out of the car I immediately stepped into the building, I asked the casting room he was pointing his hand at the elevator and telling me which floor to go to kindly.
W.K Entertainment is considered to have a considerable reputation in the entertainment industry, it has its own channeling partners, and also invests in its own drama series or films. The company building is tall and spacious. I walked through the automatic glass door and felt the coolness of the air conditioning and smelled the lily from a sn pretty large vase. In the middle of the room there is a giant lamp that reflects the sparkling orange color.
Maybe someone was jealous because I worked with a very large company, but when I came back I felt tense more than usual.
When I saw my reflection on the elevator door, I move my legs and stop it slowly. There was an elevator buzzing and the door was open, the first thing I saw was an assistant.
An editor named Hin stood with his phone leaning against the wall.
“P’Gene! Are you there?”
“Yes…”
“Why don’t you wear contact lenses today?”
“And who’s making me rush?”
“P does have to hurry, being a producer has to be excited, right?” then he looks up at his watch, “Good, P came on time. Soon the break is over, the participants are here.” After saying that, he forced me to follow him.
As I followed him, my eyes looked right and left, as the casting continued, the room was luxuriously decorated, the streets covered with soft red carpets, in front of each door fitted with name tags. I saw a room covered in glass and looked inside, it was full of men. If I had to guess… Those guys must have come to cast as cast members for my novel.
Since the story is well known enough, when the announcement to make it a series, the news spread everywhere, many used hashtags quickly in tweets, there were ten digits per day, followed by the selection of actors, the actors would receive high attention, it was not strange.
“P’Gene, have you seen the profile of the cast?”
“Not yet.”
He slapped her on the forehead, muttering, “I told you, didn’t I?”
“Don’t tell me to do it, I’m making a new novel.”
“I told you to take a break.”
‘I’ve got a new idea for my novel, if I don’t write it soon, I’ll forget about it again. Are you going to take responsibility?”
“Oh, right. I was wrong.”
He said that, but it doesn’t seem like he sounded sincere. You stop in a room, Hin knocks on his door before opening it. I was still standing in front, when the door opened, the interior was clear, the room was spacious, the first thing I could feel was the fragrant smell of coffee floating on the nose, walls and floors in white and looking clean. The opposite side is a barrier mirror. The long table is white and no other furniture is added.
At the long table there was already a group of people. And it looks like you’re resting for coffee together.
“Oh, nong Hin has arrived?”
“It’s here, P.”
“Want some coffee?” Someone lifted the cup as if it were inviting.
It’s only been three hours, how’s Hin close to them?
“No, I’m not. Oh! This is P’Gene, he’s the author of this novel, he’s just returned from a business trip. So he stopped by to see the casting too.” Said the bastard, introduced me and pointed his hand at me.
How do I react? I secretly looked at him angrily, returning from a business trip? Didn’t you tell me to come?
“Oh…” a cry came from the crowd. Before I see anyone standing up. And step closer, he’s a rather tall man. There was a thin mustache under his nose, judging by his face, he should have been in his early thirties.
He smiled and I greeted him.
“I didn’t expect the author to be a man.”
“… Yes,”
“I’m Wood. I’m the director. You can call me P. Just call me what you want,” he said with a friendly ancespitation and laughed “So you’re Gene, right? Nice to meet you, Gene. But your eyes are big not like the Chinese.”
I was desperate to smile in the corner of my mouth. “Not referring to China, my name is spelled GENE.”
(T/N : in thai chinese is called ประเทศจีน read Prathae cin, aksorn from Cin is จีน and his name is Gene)
“Gene? Part of the chromosome? “
Can I stab this director?
“Ha … ha ha from Greek Means the origin of good origin.”
“Huh. I’m kidding. It’s joking.” He drew a hand on my shoulder a few times.
Each time as usual Then I draw his arms around my shoulders and push them to walk to the table where the other person is. “Today I am free Just follow the assistant to see the children. Who passed the first round as well.”
I already figured out why in three hours, the bastard was so close to the crowd. Neat.
The director took me to introduce myself to someone else. In this group it’s mostly women. Two of them seem to be the people who do the casting for the cast. When they found out that I was the author of the novel, they were stunned.
Because it is very rare for a man to write this genre of novel.
“Okay, don’t ask him too much. He won’t be able to answer everything,” the director said. Then someone took another new document and sent it to me.
“It’s a list of values based on the number of actors coming in. Some of them are already famous teen stars. Some of them are freshman students who applied for this. from the face, height, and others. In the first half there has been a selection, and it has been marked who escaped. There, Khun Gene, consider whether someone played the character well.”
“Thank you”
The director waved to the assistant to bring me another chair. Because the table is straight long, so I get a soft kris on the other side of the table.
An entrance staffer followed the signal from the director and informed the name and number of the participants who had to enter.
The actor in my novel is a man in the third year of the Faculty of Engineering. As a brutal, abusive, jealous character, but very much in love with his wife. And since the character is like this I originally made the name HIN which means stone, to look a bit hard like a rock, but the publisher said don’t use that name. After rereading I finally decided to name it KINT.
As told, if KINT’s characters in this novel only like to use three colors in dress, such as dark or black and white colors. He has a sideways hairstyle to the left and looks neat for using gel. Each casting participant wears a similar costume, but it looks like they’re trying to look like a bad boy, but that’s too much. They’re trying to show that it’s commonplace. Seven people have come in, but I haven’t found anything interesting.
“It’s useless for you to run away, there’s no point… I warned you, you are mine.”
The voices of the actors echoed throughout the room. Shia… I moan in my heart. While not many people stand out, I respect these actors. They dare to utter the embarrassing sentences I wrote in the novel with a sincere attitude. Even when I think that if I do that, sometimes I shake my head.
“How P’Gene?”
Hin whispered down and made me look at the number I wrote on the paper.
I smile a little, “Number five, I think.”
“The same person I thought. He is already a famous teenage actress, if you bring him to join the cast, maybe it can make even better ratings.”
“Really?” I raised my eyebrows a little bit. Since I don’t know the information yet, I saw the file in my hand, “But I think he’d better play Tawan.”
Tawan is one of the characters in my novel. It was one of those people who liked Namcha… well generally, because Namcha is so cute and has a lot of fans. You could say that he’s one of the main character’s competitors.
“Oh!” Damn it, Hin grinned “What’s your excuse? Tell me, pick and go. You just need to see it for a second?”
I caught a glimpse. “Are you trying to test me?”
“Hey, what’s going on? Don’t bloat P’s blistered cheeks. Talk to the director so he doesn’t miss a lot of people… “
“Number 18, Nubsib please come in.”
Hin hasn’t finished talking. Voice staff are announcing to call the next casting. We stopped our conversation, just listening to that name made me realize that his name sounded unique.
(T/N : Nubsib means tens or 10)
The sound of shoes hitting the floor is heard in the middle of the room. When my eyes looked up at her figure, all of a sudden, my mind went awry. My brain is trying to digest the feelings that arise at the same time, shock, interest and… Disappointed
Tall man in front of me wearing a white T-shirt and jeans. She wore only silver earring accessories on one side, her hair completely black, slightly shiny. He gives the impression of being a badass, but not too impressed, because his face is so handsome. Everything looks so perfect, her lips looking good, her nose gouged out, the angle of the eyes beautiful, the cheekbones and jawline firm.
Number eighteen makes me daydream for a moment. But it looks like she’s going to be rejected, because no matter how attractive her face and appearance is, she doesn’t look fit to play kint. He looks quiet, but does not impress the cool attitude, but he seems silent, not cold, but rather looks like a warm and polite person, it is visible from his gestures and way of speaking.
“Nong Nubsib, Nong Nubsib is here.”
When the number 18 participant appeared, there was a woman screaming from behind.
“Old artist?”
I looked curiously at the profile on my hands.
‘Nubsib Pipitphakdee (Ten) Age 20 University X Class 2 International Business Administration’
I read the information that he graduated from high school abroad and used to work as a model in that country. Then he returned to Thailand to take a job for a photo shoot. There are also attachments regarding his social media pages, instagram and Facebook, judging by the number of followers, arguably he is quite famous.
“He’s not a celebrity, but he’s very well known on the internet.”
“Oh!” Hin whispered to me. ‘But it’s like he’s never played a movie, so chances are he’ll look stiff.’
I deeply regret hearing of the shortcomings. I saw a photo attached to profile number eighteen, I read his name, when I raised my head again, I stopped because our eyes were on each other, he looked at me with a sharp stare.
Uh… we’re going to have….What?
I winked a few times. Then nod and smile as respect.
“…”
“…”
Number eighteen replied to me with the same gesture.
“Nong Nubsib, this is casting the second half. Casting these two is easier than the first. Are you ready?” the assistant director said. He looked up at me and towards the eighteenth participant.
“Yes.” The man replied.
There were no gestures or gestures that caught the attention of the judges like the other participants who tried to show their excess.
“When you’re ready, just start.”
The large room with white nuances suddenly became quiet.
He will play the scene where the lead pursues Namcha. Namcha escaped from the main character’s condo the morning after the night before they slept together. As Namcha continues to dodge when chased by the lead, eventually when they meet, Namcha is pushed to the wall. The brutal attitude of the intimidating lead is also accompanied by romantic scenes. When this scene is uploaded to a web page, many people see and comment that they are interested in waiting for this scene.
I raised my hand to support my cheeks, and the other hand turned the pen, never mind that our eyes met each other.
What’s with the eighteenth?
“Are you alone here? Why did you run away from your husband the morning before?”
“…”
But as soon as the first sentence came out of the tall man’s mouth, my hand stopped turning my pen, he moved suddenly towards me, his eyes looking at me as if he wanted to pull me. The once-calm atmosphere turned rowdy.
Like having an expression button, his eyes turn sharp and threatening. But it still looks sexy, making people who hear it freeze.
“You can still walk, I think after last night, you won’t have the energy to go…”
I got goosebumps with the look of the man in front of me. Accidentally stared at him so I couldn’t take my eyes out. But, I realized again when I noticed that the person who played the role was seen facing me, acting as if he was talking to me. I tried to look away, but it didn’t work. Me and everyone else in the room seemed interested in this guy.
The tall figure took one more step closer to me, slowly creeping in until we faced each other. Seeing the scene where the lead chases Namcha until it hits the wall stops in front of me, I cross my legs hard.
“Damn it!”
I cried out in shock when his thick hand suddenly approached and his thumb touched my lips and swept him away.
“It’s useless for you to run away, there’s no point…”
His slender finger moved towards my neck and down the inside of my collar, then touched the collarbone, I could feel the heat from his hands.
“…”
“I warned you, you are mine.”
The same sentence is uttered by other players, but this time, it makes people hear it pounding. My heart is the same, but not just because of the words, but because of his handsome face, his bent body and very close to me, his hands still touching my neck, his feet still on the armrest of my chair. I can feel his hot breath.
“Stop…”
“I’m sorry.”
His low voice was heard, then I could feel him getting closer until the tip of our noses came into contact.
“I found you.”
I’m like Namcha, a character in a novel with an open mouth.
“Are you so surprised? Thank you so much for letting me play this scene with you.”
“…”
I’m still petrified by the shock, my ears can still hear his low voice, but with his polite ness, the initially hot and stressful atmosphere slowly fades, but I’m still a little dizzy, my eyelids blinking. But then when I regained consciousness about what was happening, I immediately said, “Very good acting.”
But I don’t want you to continue the scene, it’s too dangerous in other people’s eyes. I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“Really?” Nubsib raised his black eyebrows, “Thank you …”
I laughed out loud. The jurors and other assistants who came to his daydreams, he also clapped and stood up. He called eighteen to get back to the front of the table and asked for something like a regular interview.
As for me, the spell still makes my heart beat and I just nod to myself, this guy is really the best judging by his aura and also the feelings he exudes. I didn’t think he’d be cut out for this scene, but his sudden movements seemed to make me change my mind, unexpectedly he played it really well and made my heart pound.
“Oi,” called Hin to me who had been silent for a long time.
“What?”
“P secretly imagine yourself to be Namcha? My heart is pounding.” Hin raised his hand to his chest. I closed my lips. “Don’t just cast namcha?”
“No other participant did that, but Nong Nubsib used P as his partner, and it looked good.” Those words embarrass me.
I glared at him and kicked the shin of the man standing next to me lightly. “You want me to stab?”
“Why do you like stabbing so much?” he rolled his eyeballs. “Then what’s next?”
“I chose the number eighteen.” I said quickly.
“I like him too, it looks like the director has also made a decision even though there are still more than ten people who have not been selected.”
I turned to the director after hearing Hin’s words and saw there was a member of staff awa number eighteen to another room and in contrast to the person who entered before him, upon completion, they were told to go out waiting with the others.
Then the director came to ask me a little bit of my opinion. Looking at my expression, he judged, if I hadn’t picked number eighteen, he would have been ready to argue with dissatisfaction. But when I agreed, his face turned cheerful and patted me on the shoulder several times, before returning to the same place. Then he told the staff to invite the next one in.
There is someone in my heart, but I have to face the other until the end of the day. It’s not fair to anyone else. True, but it could be called unfair. Because number eighteen can play really well.
Thirty minutes had passed, in the end, casting all the actors and everything let me down. I allowed the other jurors to finish it, whereas when I finished, I closed the folder containing the participant’s profile and returned it to the staff.
… There’s nothing better than number eighteen.
“We had chosen namcha before P’Gene’s arrival. Do you know the details? Is there a problem?”
I waved at me and didn’t understand. “I don’t have a problem. I follow the opinions of the teams only.” Judging by the decisions of the staff today I’m pretty sure they have an eye for determining it. Of course, that’s their job.
“I asked the two men to wait in the living room, I’ll give them a little briefing. Nong Gene, let’s go together, those young people don’t know you’re the author. Let’s introduce yourself for a minute.”
“Well, it’s just…” I raised my hand to rub my back like I was tired. “It’s better next time.”
“Do you have a job?”
I smiled and felt a little guilty. “I have a new story to finish.”
“Oh, you’re busy. I can arrange another time to give you the details. In addition, there will be another meeting with the actors in two weeks, Hin said that you can attend.”
“Eh!” … Son of a bitch say I’m coming?
I turned my eyes, almost firing a laser at the man standing still on the side. I looked back at the director and smiled, he patted me on the shoulder again and laughed. Then I raised my hand to salute him, then he walked into another separate room, perhaps going to discuss the details with the person who played the role for my novel.
And I raised my arms, crossed and sighed for a moment. “Can I go back?”
“Yes it is! Wait, wait, wait, wait,
“What else?”
“I have a stomach ache. I want to go to the bathroom and wait for me for a second P, take me to the office. So wait for me a minute”
it, am I your subordinate? Have to wait for you and drop you off?”
“Eh! Who saw it that way? P is the one I have to take care of.”
“Oh?”
I stung my eyes and gently poked his forehead. Hin eventually ran while waving to the bathroom at the end of the corridor.
I sighed and because I was bored, I decided to follow it. In front of the bathroom, there’s nine feet of room. There is a very rare automatic drinking machine in Thailand. I looked right and left before putting a coin in the machine, and chose to drink a cup of sweet coffee, after coming out of the machine I sipped it and felt a little fresh. I was thinking of leaving that bastard Hin in the bathroom. Hah, as a field assistant, he coordinates with writers as well as publishers, no day without dispute. I shook my head remembering the guy who was being topped, so I decided to buy him coffee, when I was going to put a coin in the machine.
Cling….
My coin dropped and singed.
“…!” I immediately pursued my coin. That coin, I saw it go the other way and stop in front of someone’s shoe. The man bent down to pick it up too.
As in the movie his character gradually stares at the newcomer from foot to face
“…”
“…”
That man is Nubsib.
The tall figure stood three steps away, then slowly bent down to collect coins to return to me.
“Here.”
“Oh thank you.”
That smile makes this young man look even more charming, “Thank you again P.”
“Yes”
His good looks made my eyes hurt, I didn’t want to look at him much longer, so I took my eyes off him.
“Eh! um… “
If this is a cartoon, there will be sound effects from flying crows. But in the real world is not possible, therefore I am silent at all so uncomfortable
“I know that you are the author of Bad Engineering”
“…!”
Shia! The coffee cup almost fell out of my hand when Nubsib suddenly spoke.
“The director said that before. I’m sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable.”
“Oh, that’s right. Don’t think about it too much,” I waved. “I’m just a writer. Did you sign the contract for the series?” I stopped when I heard he didn’t call me P but with a more polite designation. I’m not used to the call of ‘you’. So I don’t know how to respond.
“You probably won’t see me often, even though I’ve been part of the team.”
Hearing that man before me frowned upon him. This kid’s a little too quiet. But he looks very polite, the prince has actually spoken to him. I felt as if I had to review the words carefully before speaking them.
I felt like running away and waiting for Hin somewhere else, but I heard the bathroom door open.
“Sorry P waited so long? Ouch!” Said the long-lost man, raised his hand to apologize. When her gaze meets the novel’s tall figure, and I stand next to her, she smiles shyly like a little girl, “Oh, Nong Nubsib.”
“Yes”
“Are you done talking to the director?”
“The production director came, so I asked permission to go to the bathroom.”
“Oh!” Hin nodded his head calmly. “Oh, that’s right. P’Hin is the editor of Khun Gene, we should meet often.”
“…” I suddenly turned to see the man talking.
Before, I’d told the man in front of me that he would rarely see me. Let’s just say, I can see it as an indirect curse. It just adds to the job for me.
“Yes.” Nubsib still stands in his starting position with a slight smile adorning his lips. “See you later.”
“See you later” Hin replied warmly. As for me, a little numb when I saw Nubsib staring at me intensely, I didn’t reply to his gaze, just smiled and nodded.
I finally got out of that place and threw an empty container into the trash can and turned around to pull Hin’s neck, the one who made me have to hurry and wait to immediately follow me to the elevator. And even though I dragged him like this, his face turned, waving to the man still standing there.
I want to get out of here quickly, when the elevator door opens, I push it lightly. I can’t bear to look back, Nubsib still stands at the same point. He uses his sharp eyes, looks quite calm. Like telepathy, he smiled at me. I smiled without even knowing it. Then he hurriedly walked back to the room.
I’m not a director, not an organizer, just a simple writer. Why is he being nice to me?
“Take me too, P’Gene. Oh! Take me to eat fried clams in the corner and also eat Pad Thai.”
