Nunew's POV.
"Here , this is for your hungover .." said Hia as he gave me a painkiller and a cup of water. I placed the pill in my mouth , drinking it down with the water. I coughed , placing the glass down as Hia sat down across me on the coffee table. I look down to my fingers , fiddling with them. I then felt Hia's hand on my head.
"I must have hurt you so much.." he said softly as I looked up to him.
"Hia never meant to hurt Nhu .." he said as he then held my hand.
"Hia was so afraid of what will happen if .. I told you that I love you .." he said as I look into his eyes , seeing nothing but fear.
"Tell Nhu na .. why is Hia so scared ? ... Nhu wants to know .." I said softly.
"As Nhu knows before .. Hia had a partner before Nhu ..we worked just like this .. we became close .. but afterwards , he slowly took the fame for himself .. I thought he really loved Hia .. and Hia was genuinely in love with him too .. but he just stirred up things that weren't true .. then he left .." said Hia as I listened to every word.
"I know what I did to Nhu was stupid , using Nhu just for sex .. But I've never once not love Nhu .. everytime I watch you sleep beside me , it makes me so happy .. whenever I work with you .. whenever I hear you sing .. whenever I hear you laugh because of what I said and do .. it makes me appreciate the small things in life ... it eventually made me fall in love with you .. but I was so scared .. to tell you how I actually feel because I was so scared that I was gonna lose you ..." he said.
"After seeing you leave the house that night ... how I wish I could turn back time .. and stop you from leaving .. how I wish I told you that I loved you that night .. I was a coward .." he said as tears welled up his eyes.
"I love you na , Nhu ... so so much ... you are everything to me ... and I can't live without you ..." he said as tears escaped from his eyes.
"So please .. don't leave Hia na .." he said as he gripped my hand.
"Hia .." I said softly as tears rolled down my cheeks. I placed my hand on his cheek as I breathed shakily. He looked at me as I let out a sob , hugging him tightly. I cried as I hugged him tightly.
"Nhu rak Hia .." I cried making my whole body shake. Hia chuckled dryly , hugging me back tightly as he caress the back of my head gently.
"Hia knows ... Hia rak Nhu too .." he said as I cried , hiding my face on his shoulder as he pulled me closer. After a while , he pulled away slightly as I sniffled , trying to calm down. Hia smile softly , cupping my cheeks as he wiped my tears away with his thumb. He smile softly , kissing my forehead as he then leaned his forehead against mine. 
"Be my boyfriend na .." he said as I chuckled , nodding. Hia smile before holding my chin. He placed his lips onto my lips gently. I close my eyes , replying to his kiss. The kiss was slow and warm. It was nothing like before. It made it much more beautiful. We both pulled away , resting our forehead against each other as Hia rubbed the tip of his nose against mine. The both of us smile as Hia then pulled me back into a hug. I sigh happily , hugging him tightly as I rested my chin on the crook of his neck , taking in his sweet scent. 
- later -
I smile as I felt Hia's fingers run through my locks. I snuggled up to his chest , hugging his waist as Hia placed a couple of small kisses on the top of my head. I then look up to him making him look down to me , caressing my cheek.
"Hia .." I said making him hum.
"Does this mean that you and I are ... a couple ?" I asked as he chuckle , nodding.
"Chai .. Hia and Nhu are now a couple .." he said as I smile. Soon a realization hit me.
"But ..." I said making him frown.
"What is Nhu thinking about ?" He asked as I propped myself up.
"Hia should know that .."  I said making him frown.
"Know that ? .." he said.
"That this relationship between us is impossible, Hia .." I said.
"If people know that Nhu and Hia are together .. not everyone will be happy about it.." I said as he sigh , caressing my cheek.
"Nhu ..it's up to them whether they want to accept us .. we can't force anyone to accept us ... Hia know .. that things may not work out like how we wanted it to be .. but Hia is ready for whatever is coming on our way .. people have to respect whatever decision I make .. and whatever decision you make ... I chose Nhu .. I chose to love you no matter what .." he said.
"Hia rak Nhu na .." he continued making me smile , nodding.
"Nhu rak Hia too .." I replied as he pecked my lips. He then pulled me back into his arms.
"But .. Nhu is still scared na .." I said as he nod.
"Hia understands .. we'll be professional .. in front of the cameras , we'll act normal .. behind them .. we can act as how we want .." he said as I look up to him.
"No one has to know , all we need to do is keep it Just Between Us." He continued making me smile.
"One day .. we'll definitely have to tell the world .. and on that day will be the most happiest moment of our lives .." he said making me nod.
"Krub Hia.." I said as he caress my cheek , kissing my forehead. I then hugged him tightly , sighing happily as Hia tightened his arms around me.
- next few days -
I plopped down onto the hotel bed , feeling exhausted from rehearsals. My fanmeeting is a day away and the more I think about it, the more nervous I am feeling. My hair is now light brown and my nails were all done. I sigh heavily , feeling exhausted. Soon the doorbell rang making me groan as I got up lazily.
"Who is that at this timing~" I whine as I walked towards the door. I unlocked the door , opening it and soon my eyes widened seeing Hia.
"Aow , Hia !" I said as he chuckled. I then peeked my head out , looking around to see if there's any staff around before grabbing Hia's arm , pulling him into the room. He chuckled as I closed the door shut , locking it. I then turn to Hia as he smiled, opening his arms.
"Come here .." he said as I let out a giggle before jumping into his arms. I hugged him tightly as he then lifted me off the ground. I wrapped my legs around his waist as he held me tightly , walking towards the bed. He sat down with me on his lap as I pulled away slightly.
"Aow , why didnt Hia tell me that you are coming here .." I said as he chuckled.
"Hia just wants to surprise Hia's faen .." he said as I smiled. He then caress my cheek making me lean against his touch.
"Tired ?" He asked as I pout , nodding. 
"Nhu had rehearsals the whole day krub .. and now that the show is a day away , Nhu is a little nervous .." I said as he chucked softly.
"Then I know how I can help .." he said making me frown.
"How about a warm bath ?" He asked making me smile , nodding.
