UNISTAR : Invisible Moon [ENG Versi... - Chapter 13: Chapter 13

I kept thinking about the rose from P'In the whole day. I couldn't even concentrate in my afternoon class. I kept recalling the moment that P'In was walking towards me and handed the rose to me among the many who surrounded us. At that time, he was only looking at me, only focusing on me. Why? I couldn't think of a valid reason. Why did P'In give the rose to me?
"It suits you."
Although he told me the reason, I still couldn't understand it.
Did this rose really suit me?
My friends were talking about Rose Day and they were all curious about who got the rose from P'In. Somehow, it seemed like my fading trait was extraordinarily effective, because none of the MWTV or fans' cameras managed to record me, not even for a second. So it became a super mysterious topic — Where was P'In's rose now?
My hubby is In @myhusbandisin
Why couldn't I see! God! My curiosity is killing me. Who did IN give his rose to? #InvisibleMoon #UNISTAR
DomKati Only @onlycoconutmilk
Male or female? No way! Can't be true! I want his rose too. Can P'In give it to me? #InvisibleMoon #UNISTAR
Wanna eat Kati @katikati
Since we couldn't see who got it, then IN's rose belongs to all DomKati. #InvisibleMoon #UNISTAR
P'In Jaaaa @Iloveinin
*crying* Who got his rose? So envious. I want it too! Can I steal it? Well, that's impossible because I don't even know who got his rose. #InvisibleMoon #UNISTAR
I couldn't concentrate in my class, but I couldn't keep my attention away from Twitter either. Many tweets were still mentioning P'In's rose. They were so curious, and I was worried. Because P'In's rose, which was currently the main interest on social media, was now carefully kept in my bag. What if some fans found out? I might have to run away from a mob of rose robbers. Thank God for my invisibility! It wasn't often that I felt glad of my invisible curse.
"Hey, look! Turns out, the one who got P'Wayu's rose was a giant girl. She is our university's weight-lifter. Not surprising for the strongest to succeed in grabbing it."
I heard my friends gossiping about today's event.
"Oh right! And who got P'In's rose?"
"Yeah. I'm also curious. So envious!"
"Win, did P'In say anything about this?" Parn suddenly asked me.
I was startled and felt nervous. Then I just realised that she was probably randomly asking because P'In was my buddy-code senior, so they thought that I might know something.
"Well, I haven't talked to him recently." I wasn't good at lying, so I avoided answering.
To be honest, I would like to tell everyone that I was actually the one who got P'In's rose. Still, I didn't and I couldn't understand myself either. It felt like I was afraid that if I told other people, they would keep asking me to see the rose, and then, that rose — P'In's rose — wouldn't be just mine anymore.
Normally, I wasn't the type of person who would get possessive about things like this. However, this was P'In's rose and I was unwilling to share it with anyone.
I wanted it to be only mine.
"Hi everyone! Welcome back to UNISTAR SHOWTIME! Today we are together with these five handsome UNISTARs!"
I went back to my dorm after class and found myself doing something unexplainable again. I was suddenly curious about how each UNISTAR member thought about love. What was their perspective on love? Did they - especially P'In - have an ideal type when it comes to a lover?
I didn't even realise when I started developing this kind of interest. Anyway, It was too late now, since I had already typed 'UNISTAR love' on my Google search bar, and found this video - this episode was on UNISTAR's love interest and fans.
Interviewer: Well, it seems like each UNISTAR member has a similar number of fans, and the fans are different target groups right? Can you tell me more about this?
Leo: Alright. // Volunteered himself.
Leo: It depends on the fans' individual personality or preference. For example, P'Sea has the most number of male fans and most of N'Natee's and N'Wayu's fans are BL lovers. As for N'In, he is a very special case because he doesn't have any anti-fans at all.
Interviewer: What about N'Leo? What kind of fans do you have the most?
Sea: N'Leo has a lot of genius student fans.
Interviewer: Oh! I see. It's not surprising because N'Leo is very smart, he is like a role model for excellent students.
Then, the host proceeded to ask about their ideal type of a lover. P'Sea said he didn't have a specific type, just knowing that this person was the right one for him was enough. P'Leo said he liked a small, cute, gentle and kind person. P'Wayu started with a little joke and said that any type was okay, as long as the person loved him. P'Natee said he liked a person who was both cute and sexy at the same time.
Finally, it was P'In's turn. I bit my nail as I watched, feeling anxious.
Interviewer: What about N'In? Do you have any idea of what type of person that you like?
IN: // Thinking.
Interviewer: Do you have any? Do you? // Trying hard to get him to reply.
IN: Don't have. // Emotionless.
Interviewer: Well, how about changing the question. Do you have anything that you particularly like?
All other UNISTARs: Coconut milk! // Everyone answered unanimously.
Interviewer: I see, then N'In should like a person who is good at cooking coconut milk dishes right?
IN: No.
Interviewer: Hmm? Why not?
IN: I like food. Why should I like the cook? // Still emotionless.
"Oh my God, that hurts." I murmured.
How did he manage to say something so direct with no emotion and such a straight face?
He just liked to eat, it didn't mean he should like the one who cooked the food.
Well, it seemed to be true. It probably was.
Interviewer: Now time for questions from Unity. There are some fans asking this question: Can all UNISTARs vote on which member they think would be the first one to get married?
Most of the UNISTAR members turned to look at P'Wayu.
Interviewer: N'Wayu? Why is it N'Wayu ka?
Leo: Perhaps, because he has the most experience in love among us.
Sea: Plus his flirting joke.
Natee+IN : // No comment.
Interviewer: Really? Does N'Wayu think so too?
Wayu: If I'm marrying a 'faen', it's going to be DomWhai, so I'm saying yes now.
It's not surprising that comments from P'Wayu's fans immediately flooded the chat section at this part. I quite agree with other UNISTAR members. With such flirty jokes, even if they're not that funny at times, countless girls would willingly walk down the aisle for him.
Interviewer: Well, well, how about the opposite? We know that all UNISTAR members are extremely handsome. Is there anyone that you think will be single for their whole life?
As soon as she asked this, everyone automatically turned to P'In.
Interviewer: N'In? Why? N'In is incredibly handsome. Will you be on the boat cradle? Seriously?
IN: ... // Still thinking.
Leo: Well, let's just say... It seems like N'In doesn't care about this either.
Sea: After he graduates, N'In might become a monk for the rest of his life. Hahaha just kidding.
Interviewer: Oh! Has N'In ever had a girlfriend before?
In: // Shook his head.
Interviewer: And have you ever considered getting married?
In: I don't know. // Straight faced.
I was both worried and relieved after hearing this. On one side, P'In was too high to reach, on the other side, P'In wouldn't belong to anybody.
Many comments below it also mentioned that coconut milk was the only thing that he liked. So, DomKati — of course, DomCoconutMilk, would be the only thing that P'In loved the most. We would be together forever.
What about me? Now that I had become his one and only buddy-code brother, would I be the person that he cared for as well?
Why? I touched my chest. I was feeling strange. My heart was beating so fast.
Interviewer: By the way, many fans love to see UNISTAR members pairing up imaginary lovers, like N'Leo and N'Sea, as well as N'Natee and N'Wayu. But N'In is still alone. Will there be any chance that N'In might get an imaginary lover too?
I was a bit anxious by this question. Imaginary lover? It was true that P'In didn't have one now, but in the future, if he had one, I don't think my heart would be able to take it.
P'In didn't immediately answer this question either, so other members helped him to reply.
Leo: I don't think N'In will ever have one. Because DomKati doesn't like the idea of N'In having an imaginary lover. N'In's image is very positive. He is the model of social responsibility. His fans are concerned as this could affect his image negatively.
Natee: Yeah! P'In was casted as the main actor of a BL drama once. However, P'Kwang had to replace him with another actor instead.
Sea: That's right. DomKati wants N'In to stay single, so technically, no pairing up with any male or female. // Laughing.
Leo: It's true. But in the case of N'Natee and N'Wayu, it's the total opposite. The fans want them to be a real couple, obviously.
Wayu: Have you ever asked me? Why would I want to be with that bad-mouthed Moon? // Frowning.
Natee: Hey! You have no eyes. For someone super handsome like me, everyone would like to be with me.
Wayu: What the hell! My eyes aren't big, but I have eyes. Shut your dog-mouth up!
After that, P'Natee and P'Wayu continued arguing. So I stopped here.
I couldn't get rid of the thought that DomKati didn't want P'In to have an imaginary lover, so I went to search on Twitter and finally understood why.
P'In's image was so pure, so the fans wouldn't allow anything negative to impact him. For example, when P'In was offered the lead role for a BL drama. Instead of supporting it, the fans were aggressively opposing it. Even though this drama wouldn't have any intense love scenes, they were still worried about his image. Since the fans became more and more aggressive, MW Entertainment thereby decided to replace the actor.
Not only did P'In not care about love, his fans also didn't want P'In to have love. No surprises there, now he was really the UNISTAR who was most likely to be on the boat cradle[1].
Anyhow, this choice was probably the best for him.
For me, I was relieved about this as well.
The next day, I woke up a little late but still reached the class on time. I sat with Boss and his friends. Unfortunately, they hadn't stopped talking about P'In's rose yet. Now that I know how P'In's fans viewed this issue, I wasn't going to risk mentioning it. Even though I was happy to receive his rose, if the fans found out that P'In gave the rose to a man, it would eventually affect his reputation.
After the class, I followed my friends for lunch and we met P'Noey, who came over to talk to us.
"N'Boss ka, please come to room 300 tomorrow." P'Noey said.
"Krub. What's the matter?" Boss seemed a little confused.
"Congrats! N'Boss is nominated as our business faculty's Moon candidate this year!"
"Wow! Really?" "OMG! Congrats!"
All my friends were so excited. I felt glad for him too. Although I was a bit jealous, to be honest, I had been dreaming of getting this sort of chance too. But right now, simply existing in someone's eye was enough for me.
"Thank you P'Noey krub." Boss smiled happily.
"So I'll be the business faculty Moon?"
"Well, there is another candidate." P'Noey looked at the list.
"May I ask who, please? What is the criteria for selecting the candidate?" Boss asked.
"I didn't choose, IN did."
"Ahhh P'In!" The girls were screaming.
When I heard P'In's name, my thoughts suddenly ran wild.
P'In chose Boss as one of the faculty Moon candidates. It's not surprising, because Boss was good looking, sporty, smart, kind and friendly. He was indeed the best candidate for the title as he could become a strong competitor against other faculties.
Furthermore, being the faculty Moon was the first step towards becoming the university Moon. If he won, he would be nominated to participate in the UNISTAR contest. If Boss could reach that stage, God, I'd be so proud and envious of him. I could shout to the whole world that I have a friend who was a UNISTAR member!
"Excuse me. Did P'Noey say that there is another nominee who is gonna compete with Boss?" Parn asked.
"Yep!" P'Noey nodded slowly.
"Who? Who?" Everyone couldn't wait to find out.
"Is Archawin Deshsakul here?"
I was startled when she said my name.
Wait. It was my name, wasn't it?
"Yes?" I responded three times before she finally turned to me.
"Oh, it's you! IN's buddy-code junior. You're the one who got IN's signature." P'Noey seemed excited.
"Yes, it's me." I was very nervous.
"Congrats! Please come to room 300 tomorrow. We'll be finalising the candidate for our business faculty Moon and Star."
"Huh?" I gasped, shocked.
What did she just say?
I wasn't the only one who was surprised though, my friends were too.
"Me? The Moon candidate? I don't think I'm qualified for that." I was just being honest with myself.
"I don't know either. But IN chose you." She replied.
"He probably saw something in you."
"Really?" I had no idea how to respond.
Did it mean that P'In purposely chose me to compete with Boss?
Was he temporarily blind? What? Why did he choose me?
"Wow. Congrats Win! See you tomorrow." Boss smiled at me.
After P'Noey was gone. Everyone gathered to congratulate the faculty Moon nominees. Some friends were talking to me, but Boss received a lot more attention as always.
I was perplexed because I never expected this to happen. It was beyond my expectations.
After the afternoon class ended, I hurriedly said goodbye to my friends. I looked at my cell phone for a second before deciding to call P'In straightaway.
It rang a few times before he answered.
"Hello, P'In. Are you free right now?" I asked him.
"Free...two minutes." He answered shortly.
But two minutes was more than enough for me.
"P'In krub, P'Noey told me that you nominated me and Boss for the faculty Moon candidate?"
I expected that he would deny it and tell me it wasn't true.
But it turned out...
"Yes." He said flatly.
"What? Me? To be the Moon? If you chose the wrong name, you should select another." I almost cried.
My opponent was Boss! I felt like I could die from embarrassment.
Not only was I an unrecognised freshman, but I was also extremely invisible whenever I was with Boss.
"Not wrong." P'In confirmed.
"Wait... You really did choose me?" I still couldn't believe it.
"Yes."
"Why did you choose me?"
My question made P'In silent for a moment before he replied.
"Come here."
"Huh? What?" I was confused.
Apparently, my question and his answer weren't in the same direction at all.
"Can you?" He asked again.
"Where should I go?" I asked. I couldn't understand him, but, why was my heart beating like this?
"Come over here."
"Huh?" I was still muddled.
Come over here — meant go over there to meet up with P'In?
"Where are you now?" I finally asked for the location.
P'In was quiet for a few seconds, then I heard him asking about the location of his place. I assumed he was talking with his manager. Maybe he was working.
"Mineral Wales Mall." P'In said.
"Uh.. Okay." I responded. It was a shopping mall in the city centre. I could take the sky train to get there.
"Know the place?" He continued asking.
"I know krub." I replied.
"Then come now."
"Huh... I need to go right now?"
"Yes."
"Uhhh..." I just ran out of words.
I honestly wanted to meet P'In, but it was a bit rushed.
"Can't come?"
Probably because I didn't say a word for a moment, so he asked again.
"I can go, P'In."
I was left dumbfounded after he hung up.
P'In didn't only choose me to be the faculty Moon nominee, he also asked me to go and see him right now.
No doubt, he was indeed an unbothered Moon, just like his title.
Well, even though I couldn't understand him, I was thoughtlessly smiling.
I would be meeting P'In, wouldn't I?
