I came to Bangkok to disappear.
New city. New walls. Art school, peace, and nobody who knows what happened three years ago.
Instead, I walked into the wrong audition room and got cast opposite Prinya Jaturapattarapong, controlled, devastating, and completely unreadable. He looked at me like I was a problem he hadn't accounted for.
He brought me tea exactly the way I like it. I never told him how I take it.
I painted his face seventeen times and told myself it was just studies. He stood between me and a stranger's eyes during a costume fitting and said nothing about it. We pretended, both of us, that nothing was happening.
But something was happening.
And somewhere between sunflowers and silence and four seconds of eye contact that broke every professional boundary I was trying to maintain - I fell. Completely. Stupidly. For a man who closed himself off so carefully, I could see the seams.
The problem is that Bangkok isn't as far from my past as I thought. Someone knows where I am. And the life I built here, the studio, the friends, the man who notices everything, is sitting directly in the path of something I never outran.
Prinya Jaturapattarapong does not do things by halves. He didn't plan to fall. But he did. And he has absolutely no intention of letting Wei-Wei disappear again.
