"Hello Tae. Sorry to bother you, but I didn't receive the details regarding tomorrow's fashion show. Did they postpone it?" Dylan asked. When he went to the company building that morning he didn't see it as a big deal, but he quickly sensed that something was off. Tae's hesitation to respond was a bad sign, but then Dylan heard some of his modeling colleagues laugh not-so-subtly.

"What's so funny?"

"Dylan... I'm sorry, but I have to tell you the truth. The show hasn't been postponed, they simply chose another model instead of you. I mean, have you seriously never wondered why you've only participated to small events so far?" said Kong.

"I don't get it..." Dylan wasn't stupid, he perfectly knew what Kong was implying. However, he was surprised that someone was mocking him in front of all the other employees. He didn't think he was so far below in the company's hierarchy as to deserve such a treatment.

"My dear Dylan... there is no way to say this gently. You aren't good enough. Sure, your so-called fame as a former member of Mars can catch some attention... but you don't meet the necessary standards for an important fashion show. Someone like Thame surely would have had much more of a chance than you..."

That's what Dylan hated the most about Kong. That guy always pretended to be a nice and caring person, so that he could more easily strike when he found a window of opportunity. Everyone knew about both Dylan's tendency toward self consciousness and his resentment toward Thame, but only Kong could be cruel enough to strike at both of those points in close succession.

"I... I understand"

"Oh really? It's nice to see that you've finally managed to control your impulsiveness. I'm sure you can understand that there is nothing personal about what I said before" Kong replied. He then came closer to Dylan and whispered in his ear "...although I know how badly you wish to punch me"

"I don't want to ruin that pretty little face since it is the only thing you have" Dylan could finally feel his pride coming back to the surface. As much as he would have liked to punch that guy in the face, he felt that forcing him to simply retreat was more than enough to satisfy him.

"Or maybe you're keeping calm because you know you would end up jobless? What's wrong? You're afraid that your friends in the gutter wouldn't accept you back? It would hurt me very deeply to see you on the side of a street, so know your place and be grateful for what you have" Kong replied much faster than what Dylan expected.

"Guys, I think this is enough. Dylan, if you want I can see if the crew needs an assistant for the event, what do you think?" Tae's voice was shaking, but he bravely stood between the two guys, hoping it would be enough to stop that useless fight.

"Thank you, Tae..."

"Oh, look here!" Kong shouted.

"Could you try to be less annoying, for once?" Dylan yelled back.

"Speaking of the devil... Thame is back" Kong replied. Dylan looked at him in shock, he grabbed the guy's phone and looked at the article. It didn't take long for the magazines to find out about Thame's return.

Thame Kanjanakitkul: From Rising Star to Failed Idol?

It seems like Thame Teema Kanjanakitkul bit off more than he could chew! Just months after his ambitious move to South Korea to chase the idol dream, the singer has quietly returned to Thailand-without fanfare, without a press statement, and most suspiciously, without success.

Industry insiders whisper that Thame struggled to keep up with the grueling K-pop training system, failing to adapt to the strict schedules, cultural demands, and the competition that separates true stars from hopeful dreamers. Was he too confident in his abilities? Some critics think so.

Fans may recall that Thame left with bold promises of international success, but now, rather than dazzling on global stages, he's sneaking back home in secrecy. Could this be the end of his career, or will he attempt to spin his return into yet another "comeback story"? One thing is certain: the entertainment world is watching-and judging.

Stay tuned for more updates on this unfolding drama!
