(POV)

"Excuse me, can you give me a shot of tequila please" taking my sit in front of the bartender mixing drinks.

He nodded and give my drink and asked "are you alone ma'am?"

"Yes, my friend bailed on me" I answered and drank my tequila shot straight.

He nod and laugh. He's not surprised but amused by my bluntness, maybe because he heard it a thousand times before.

Then i asked for one drink again. He gave it to me and left to cater other customers.

It's Thursday night, usually the bar is packed with rich heirs and celebrities who wants to have fun but in secret. I'm not some rich heiress nor a celebrity, i'm just a stressful illustrator who happens to know this place because my best friend Charlie is a friend of the owner and now my friend, Moi. I was mesmerized by the ambiance and the exclusivity on this bar.

It was 2 years ago when i moved here in Chiangmai. Charlie convinced me to have a fresh start here and i'm glad i was coaxed by her. Nothing much change except the modern furniture, light fixtures and a little touch up here and there but the ambiance is still there.

I was supposed to celebrate today because finally my art piece that i made last year was featured in the famous fashion OG magazine not only that. The front cover was my ultimate bias.

Ding!

I grab my phone inside my belt bag.

I received a text from my dearest Charlie.

Charlie 🐼

I'm sorry Dee, i'll make up to you on sunday.

You know mother duties

I snicker and call her.

"Congratulations to our amazing GURL in the world!" As she answered.

I laughed to her silliness

"It's okay love, you don't have to please me. I can't compete with my godson cuteness. Make sure to treat me a good meal"

"You forgetting I can't cook with my dear life,right?"

"Did i said you'll cook? I'm surprised Pete still smitten and alive with your lack of food support–"

"–How dare you little devil! You're lucky i'm with my two babies. If not, i'll make you so drunk you'll be waking up with a guy around."

"Yeah yeah. Like that's gonna happen. You're a mom now Charlie. You're supposed to be stuffing my godson to bed and reading him a bedtime story.–

"–There's nothing wrong with having a little bit of fun once in a while Dee. Being naughty have it's advantage. Learn from me."

I laughed with her craziness. I thought after she gave birth to Mace. She'll stop this nonsense but luck was not in my favor.

"You are really something, Chai. I have my fair of fun time–

"–Watching korean and BL series are not a fair of fun time, Dee. You need a real person"

"But still it made me happy and–." I reply defensively and drink my tequila shot. I signal the bartender for another one.

"Don't argue with me on that, okay and have fun tonight. Say Hi to Moi for me if she's around." She said firmly

"Yeah yeah."

"Visit me this sunday and i'll treat you with my husband's cooking. My Mace is searching for me now. Update me if you're getting lucky tonight!"

"Crazy! I'll tell you when i visit you this sunday–"

I hang up quickly to face the person talking.

"–is that you're Boyfriend?"

"Moi! How you been?!" I was surprised.

It was Moi with rocking the bad girl look with a leather black jacket, rugged pants and killer heels. She sat next to me with her both hands under her chin, anticipating for a big news.

Didn't expected to meet her here though. She was supposed to be in Phuket until next month for her late honeymoon. She got married 2 months ago with the famous photographer/model in Thailand, Tay.

"You didn't answer my question GURL!" Amused by her and not affected by her constant teasing.

"it was only Charlie, Moi. She said Hi by the way" Told her dryly then asked her "Why are you here? I though you're up till next month?"

"Honeybun have an important business to attend to." She said pouting

"Did you had fun though?" I said teasing her too. Shoulder bumping her.

"It was fun while it last." She rolled her eyes still pouting and i smile.

"you have some action done at least?" She slap my arm then laugh.

"I get it now why you are friends with Charlie. She rub some naughtiness in her"

I laugh with her silly words then smile.

"I was just asking"

she saw me holding my glass of tequila ready to drink it when She call the bartender and said

"troy, give me a shot glass and this lady a bottle of our best tequila. charge free!—"

—Moi! You don't have to." I tried stopping her

"No, I insist. I heard your illustration was published by OG Magazine. I saw the cover and It was AMAZING!"

She almost squeal like a little girl. Her eyes shines brightly. Somewhat like a proud Mama-bear moment.

I felt a little shy with a little bit of amuse by her enthusiasm.

"Really? You think it's amazing?" I asked her. Still doubting. She clack both our shot glass signaling that we should drink.

"Of course YES! You silly girl. I saw some of your past works. I was always great and captivating!" She answered. I was touched and overwhelmed by her honesty.

I smile and said teasing her " Ayeeei! Now i know why Tay got married to you. You smother him with your flowery words!" Then she laugh out loud.

She excused herself when her secretary whisper something to her. After our 2 hrs of catching up and laughing about what we miss. I'm amazed by her alcohol tolerance though. 10 shots like it was nothing!

Left alone. Drinking 5 shots and a bit flustered. I think I'm little drunk now. Good thing i didn't dress to impress. I don't want to pass out somewhere wearing a skimpy dress.

Not that it's going to happen to me. It's uncomfortable, troublesome and i hate it. Checking myself, wearing my distressed jeans, cropped Chanel Top given to me as a gift from the OG magazine and a pair of converse black shoes.

Even if i go to the bar and drink strong alcohol just to chill and drink. I somewhat manage to go home sober. I don't know if it's a gift or i hold a-lot of self control.

I was suppose to watch my favorite bias live on instagram earlier today but then my bestfriend who bailed on me force me to meet her here for her surprise. I don't know what was it or maybe bailing me was her surprise for me.

Playing with the shot glasses on the table when suddenly, someone taps the table like he/she wants to get my attention.

"I never knew you could drink like this.." husky voice.

My eyes are a little bit foggy or sleepy. Maybe because of my stressful days i had to finish my piece for an exhibit next week. I turned around. I squint my eyes to face the familiar voice i heard. I can tell i saw him somewhere though. I can't figure it out where.

"D-Do i know you?" I asked cluelessly

He laugh amusingly like he didn't expect that question. He was supposed to answer me but someone tap him on the shoulder. And a familiar face too.

"P'Bai! We're heading out now. Call you tomorrow."

The P'Bai guy just nod and shoo the guy out. The other guy just laughed like a child and turned around waving out. After the other man gone.

I pointed at him. And said "you're name is P'Bai? Thats weird. My bias nickname was Bai too."

He smiles at me and said. "Maybe we're the same person." He's waiting for my reaction.

"I doubt it." Said dryly and show him the cover on my phone screen. "He's my boyfriend by the way"

His eyes sparkled of what he saw. A sudden smirk on his face leaning closer to me and said "Does he know you're his girlfriend?"

"I doubt it" I answered leading backwards from his sudden closeness with a loud breathe out putting my phone back inside my bag.

He move his face towards my ear and whispered.

"But i think he knows now."

He smirked at me while looking at me.

I gave him the WTF look. He laughed heartily like he never laughed before. Hearing his laughter made me skipped a bit. I don't know why but it made me happy.

Realizing i just smiled to a stranger. I turned around; Drank another shot of tequila just to calm my nerve, but it somewhat backfire. I'm more flustered and drunk now. I'm not usually like this.

"You're Demi, right? The artist who was featured in the new copy of OG magazine?" He changed the topic and asked after sipping a beer in his hand.

"Y-yes... You knew me?" I asked him in return.

" i just guess." He smiled. I feel like his keeping something from me. Or I'm assuming this.

He grabs his phone from his front pocket and checked it; said "i'll just take this for a moment. I'll be back"

I just nod at him. It's not that i care or something. I drank my tequila again. Few moments later. Someone tapped me on my shoulder.

"Do you want to have a drink with us?" A creepy man asked looked at me lustfully. Pointing his friends in the other side of the table.

Feeling that i'm really drunk. Maybe Moi put something in her tequila gift. I never felt this drunk before. Being a smarty pants that i am.

I grab my phone back and told him

"Sorry but i have a boyfriend." Showing him the picture in my cover-screen.

The guy shake his head and laughed sarcastically

" Just tell me, you don't want to. making a lame excuse just to embarrass yourself." And left me.

Not affected by his words; I turned around to my sit; poured another shot of tequila and drank it. don't know what happened next. All i know is i passed out.

———————————————————————————

Still unedit.

My first entry for a long time. I don't know if will publish this. wifi connection didn't work yesterday so i decided to play a million of what ifs.

I've been obsessing about brightwin for a while now. There's something, a genuine feeling they make you feel as a fan. I don't know if you notice that or not but i can't help to ship them both.

This is just my fantasy, a imaginary life of what ifs. A story of fan who always choose to be hidden from the society she hates becomes a girlfriend of a famous BL stars. How will they handle it? What will they life would be?
