"Okay this was amazing. Good job you two", Dew's father said coming towards the three boys who were lashing around in the casual room with bean bags. He handed both Bright and Win two small envelopes, one for each.

"What is this?", Bright asked.

"Your pay check obviously. I have added your previous work's payment as well in yours Win"

All of this felt way too real. Dew grinned at the reactions of his friends.

"Welcome to the industry", He said and patted their shoulders.

"Now don't forget, the Vogue shoot is in two weeks. Don't do anything to hurt yourself and don't get sick", Dew's father said and left the boys alone.

"Two weeks?", Win asked Dew. That's when it hit them. The semi finals match.

"There is no way that they'll keep the match during the weekends right?", Dee asked with a lot of hope.

"They usually don't. I hope they keep it that way", Bright said while Win was lost in his thoughts. There is no way he'll choose this shoot over his football game.

"Where do you want to go for dinner?", Bright asked as both Win and himself were aimlessly walking around the city.

"Our usual noodle place?"

"Sure", Bright replied and headed towards Central Mall. It was their first time hanging around in the mall after 7 pm in the evening. The only other time they were there that late was when they had their celebratory dinner with the company's manager and Dew. They went upstairs to the food court and saw that the place was packed. The scanned the place to find atlesst one free table until someone called out their names. The voice of someone who Bright dreaded the most. 'It's like a curse', Bright thought to himself. Off Jumpol.

"You can sit with us!", Off yelled from across the floor which brought a lot of attention to the boys. Bright really wished he could just take Win and run away but he knew Win would kill him if he did that. They both smiled and pointed at the noodle store as if to tell that they'll order and come over to their seat.

"If it weren't for him we'll not have anywhere else to sit", Win told Bright as they went to order and Bright simply rolled his eyes. The only reason he could tolerate that night was because Luke was there as well. He genuinely wanted to know how both Win and Luke puts up with him.

"DUDE YOU GUYS ARE VIRAL!", Off screamed when he saw the KQ pictures all over social media. Win noticed there's a lot more people looking at him than the first shoot and he was just getting annoyed. Bright wasn't there at their lunch table yet since he had to finish off some club work.

"Hey Win...", a girl who seemed to be their junior came up to their table.

"Yes?"

"Can I take a picture with you please?", she said, blushing  and not making any eye contact with Win. He felt a little uneasy because they were still in school and honestly he didn't feel like all of this was necessary. Luke and Off, kept motioning their hands towards the girl to take the picture as it may seem rude otherwise. So Win just took a deep breath and stood next to the girl who took a selfie with him and run off, squealing.

"A real superstar", Off said as Win sat back down and buried his face in his hands.

"Where is Bright?", Win muttered to himself.

"Why are you here again?", Bright said panting and running towards the football ground where Win was sitting.

"Where were you?"

"I had to go to the principal's office to submit some paper work. Why? Did something happen?"

"I can't handle everything alone, please help me"

"I'm here now. Let's go", Bright said, holding Win's wrist and pulling him back to the cafeteria which seemed a lot more filled. This was one of the reasons why Win and his friends go eat their lunch as early as possible. To avoid the rush later. The got through the crowd and found their table where Dew, Off and Luke were waiting for them. They continued eating and laughing around. Win felt way more comfortable with Bright next to him. More like he forgot about the stares he was getting. It was like what Tay said, just remember about those who you know and are supporting you. Don't think about what others are seeing whether they are good comments or Bad ones.

When the boys where done, the took their plates to keep them in the area they were supposed to place them. Bright had gone to the washroom so the other four decided to leave the cafeteria as soon possible to get rid of the crowd.

"Hey pretty boy", one of the boys from Win's batch said as he passed Win and the boy's friends laughed along with him. It wasn't a compliment, it was more like mocking him. Win froze on the spot and he didn't know why. He usually fights back whenever he could, but this time, it was different. Off, Luke and Dew were walked far ahead trying to get through the crowd and leave the cafeteria.

"Why are you still here pretty boy? Are you interested in me?", the boy said again.

"Doesn't he have a boyfriend? Bright isn't it?", his friend told the first boy.

"Well with all the modelling work, I think he should step up his game don't you think? Bright is such a loser and anti social as heck", the first boy said, licking his lips and staring at Win who still couldn't respond. He felt sick and worst off all, insulting his boyfriend?

"Is there a problem here?", Bright said coming from behind and stood next to Win.

"Ah lover boy is here", the boy said and left the scene while laughing with his friends.

"Who was that?", Bright asked Win.

"Never mind it was nothing", Win lied but the tone in his voice betrayed him. He sounded hurt and violated in a way. Just then the bell rang which meant they had to get back to class. Win didn't waste any moment and just ran off, leaving Bright alone in the cafeteria.

This is the longest chapter I've written Welp. Don't worry there WILL NOT be any non con or extreme themes in this book. Do not worry!
