Seven years ago, Love by Chance ended along with Saint's relationship with Perth, the bully. 

Seven years ago, Perth was 18, turning 19, young, and making all the wrong choices.

Seven years later, everything restarts with Perth at 25. Isn't it fitting to start here?

You may wonder where Saint, who started Fake News, is?

Some have moved on. Some have new partners. Some mistakes can't be fixed or forgiven.

Everything will be answered one chapter at a time, unlocking seven years of drama, heartbreak, and growing up.

Everyone has a story, and 7 years later, it's time to unlock all of them to conclude the trilogy.

This will be my last BL novel written in this direction. Once this novel is concluded, I will only write Omega-verse.

------------------------------------------------------

Perth POV:

Seven years later, my whole life is different. When what seemed not too long ago, I had three boyfriends. The four of us against the world.

Now I have my acting partner Santa, who is also part of the newest boy band Jasp.er.

I wouldn't say I am single, but I wouldn't say I am taken anymore either.

That story is for another chapter.

I am now at my reunion for my first project, Love by Chance, which started all seven years ago.

Saint is, of course, not here nor invited.

People think Saint is this wronged person I tried to destroy and bully. Yet here is CooHeart befriending me since my new acting partner is his ex in acting and dating.

My old friends still sit and chat with me, all of them.

That includes Sammy and Yacht, who are still protective of Santa. All three have now moved to GMMtv.

I know I did wrong seven years ago, with the only excuse of being young and dumb.

I have personally moved on from all those bad events.

Fans have seemed to move on, too, and now there are even new fans who know nothing of the past.

My life is moving on, and it's freeing to be at this stage.

It just sucks that my three now ex- boyfriends are not here with me.

It's all my fault. Perhaps I can befriend them one day since they would get along well with Santa.

Santa himself is seductive and possessive of what he feels is his. I find this entertaining, and I am not used to someone being like that in front of everyone, including fans.

At the reunion, there's no pulling me aside for private conversations.

We chat, joke, and talk. Everyone jokes with me about Santa. It makes me smile at all the positive energy.

CooHeart then tells me to hold on to Santa tight because anyone, including himself, would gladly take him off my hands if needed.

I reassured him we were happy and that all was well. I told them there was nothing to worry about.

Pictures come, and posting on Instagram happens. Fans get excited and happy for all the ones that came.

Plan, Mean, and I made up long ago, and we are close friends again.

We make plans to work together and hang out in the future. They want to meet Santa and are happy for us.

Gun was there, and we chatted a bit. He had also come to my graduation. It was good seeing him again. He was always a good friend.

Title didn't come, but he is in GMMtv, and we see each other from time to time. We are just acquaintances now, but we are friendly.

I haven't talked to Nanon in two years regarding our personal life.

Two years ago, everything ended with Chimon. We haven't spoken at all regarding personal or professional matters, either.

Ohm is different. Ohm continues to befriend me. We are trying to work things out. It's just getting him and Santa to warm up to each other.

It can be difficult now because he has locked himself away after making mistakes.

What amazes me most is how friendly CooHeart is with me after a drunken night with Santa.

He should be angry, act like a Saint, and want nothing to do with me.

He isn't. I can't help but want to ask him to talk for a moment after everyone leaves, and it's just the two of us outside, about to leave.

I stopped him and asked if I could ask him a question. He said yes, and we told everyone bye, reassuring everyone that he would be fine.

We then sit at a nearby table under lights and the night sky.

It's like he knew this conversation was coming. It's weird because he's not mad or scared; he's just waiting for the question he knows is coming.

I look at him, then look down, and tell him how sorry I am about the past. Saint protecting him from me was the best thing that happened back then.

He goes to say something, and I interrupt, asking if he will let me finish first. He says okay and lets me finish.

I tell him I have tried to change my ways, be better, say the right thing, and do right by the people around me.

I tell him I always manage to mess it up. I get upset at myself and say to look at what happened two and a half years ago.

I tell him for the record that was the last time I drank. I didn't dare drink tonight, even though everyone offered.

I then ask him why he isn't angry with me for having a drunken affair with Santa two and a half years ago.

I ramble that he should be angry, wanting to ruin me like Saint, that he has every right to feel wronged by me on so many different levels.

He finally asked to speak, and I said okay and that I should stay quiet.

He says, "Okay, yes, I should be that negative and all of that. I personally don't have time for it. I have moved on and forgiven everyone just for my own mental health. Before I continue, I want to say yes, I took an opportunity from Saint and protected myself. Saint isn't as good as people say. I am not saying he is bad, but don't give him all the credit for things when others were involved. The thing with Santa is that he and I didn't have a normal relationship. He was always upfront with me about who his true crush was. He had always told me he loved me, but for me not to take it personally when things with us quietly moved on to different paths. I always knew when he got his first chance, he would take it to work with you."

He stops, takes a breath, and looks at the sky. You can tell he is thinking about something.

He says, "Look, things happen, and life continues. One thing you need to understand is that Santa gets what he wants. Santa is well protected, and his BL parents are BounPrem. BounPrem went to GMMtv not only for better opportunities but also to watch over Santa. Do you understand what that means?"

I responded, "I know what that means. I want to know why me? Why did Santa seek me out of all people? Does he know my past can ruin him? I don't know how many fans and other actors will eventually warn him to stay away. I don't understand."

CooHeart smiles, laughs, and then says, "You don't know Santa, do you? Perth, Santa knows everything. Warn him? That's already been done over and over again by everyone I know. There's nothing that can surprise the boy."

I just looked at him, realizing Santa purposely sought me out, not caring about my past. Then it hit me. Does he know about my now three exes? I quickly asked CooHeart, who looked at me with an, of course, look.

CooHeart says, "It's not a well-kept secret that Nanon, Ohm, Chimon, and you were dating years ago. One of the first things I personally told Santa was about you four to get him to change his mind. It still didn't work; it was something about the fact that he would get his rockstar with time. Damn boy has it bad for his rockstar. Oh, that's what he calls you; his personal rockstar, and he is your boybander."

I looked at him in shock. Damn boy, I now know he won't give it up easily.

That's when my phone rings. CooHeart notices. I put it on the table and pointed it out, and he looked at the ID and saw that it was Santa.

I ask, "What am I supposed to do because I am trying to work it out with Ohm. Chimon and Nanon have moved on. If I continue with Santa, will he accept Ohm? Lots of people have issues with not only me but also Ohm. I don't know if I can let Santa take that chance on his career."

CooHeart responds, "My last advice is to talk to Santa about everything. Santa will not give up on you easily after chasing you all these years. He might be young, but he is talented, smart, and strong. Will he accept Ohm? He will be willing to work through it to keep his claws in you. He was never concerned with any of your exes, knowing he might have to share you with them. It still didn't slow him down or stop him. Talk to him and give him a chance to decide his side of things. I've got to go. It was good seeing you again. Later. Bye."

I tell him I will talk to him, then give my goodbyes.

After he leaves, I sit in my car and call Santa back, telling him to come over to my house and that we need to talk.

Santa quickly agrees. We say goodbye till then.

The reunion was good. I feel like I got closure on my past.

Now, I must fix my present and move on to my future.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Santa POV:

Everyone warns me to avoid him and tells me not to befriend his friends. They say he is bad since he has three boyfriends.

I hear it every day, more than anyone can think.

I understand what they say. I understand the stories.

I believe in second chances and starting over.

I believe in the person he is now and that his past is his past. No one should be judged solely on their past, but on what they can offer in the present.

I know he went to his reunion tonight, and I know CooHeart, Sammy, and Yacht will be there.

As the hours passed, I called him but got no answer. It's almost midnight, and he should be home unless he is talking to someone.

I know this would eventually come. CooHeart and he are clearing the past, and talking about me.

I know how hard two and a half years ago was on him, but I am not giving up. Perhaps it was my fault. I am not running away or being pushed out.

Ten minutes later, he called me to say we needed to talk and told me to go to his house, which I agreed to, and quickly headed over.

15 minutes later, I am sitting on his couch surrounded by pictures of his three exes. I didn't notice them last time, perhaps because of the alcohol.

Some of them clearly are 8 years old, while others are closer to just 3 years old.

I can tell Chimon meant a lot to him. Two years ago, his last acting partner abandoned him in the middle of two projects.

A year later, that event gave me my chance to come in and save the day.

Back then, we never spoke about what had happened.

I see other pictures of Ohm and Nanon on a bookshelf.

I have heard of their disastrous ship, which failed thanks to toxic fans. I mean, who hasn't heard, you know?

Then I see a picture that doesn't fit. This picture confuses me. I know all four dated each other, but this one seems just six months old. It's just Ohm and Perth.

There's a second picture of them with friends at Ohms' new house, all over Ohms' Instagram.

I am unsure what to make of it because Perth is coming off as single now.

While I look around at all the pictures, I see Perth come back with some hard alcohol.

He puts down two shot glasses, pours them, and tells me to take one if I want the answers I seek.

I don't know what he is talking about, but he clearly has things to discuss with me. So, I grabbed one out of what I felt was in my best interest, and we quickly took the shots.

He sits in a chair next to the couch, not letting me get too close to him.

Then he says, "I spoke to CooHeart at my reunion tonight. I must say it was an interesting conversation. He should have been so angry at me for so many different reasons. You have no idea how many people would love to ruin everything I built. How many people I nearly ruined just because I could. I ruined my second chance two and a half years ago. I shouldn't be granted a third chance."

He stops talking and takes another shot. He doesn't look at me at all; he hasn't this whole time I've been here.

He then takes a breath and continues, "I didn't understand until talking to CooHeart why you were so set on me. You even saved my career by stepping into a role not meant for you. I am thankful to you for that. I need you to understand what you are getting into with me. I know CooHeart said you already do. I know you have been warned over and over again. I wonder if you get it? I was a bully. Zee nearly killed me over it. Mark, my first ex, nearly took me out due to his manipulation. Saint still wants nothing to do with me and this company because of me, despite pretending to play nice. It's where anyone involved with me will get looked at and questioned. It can get so bad with me that one simple mistake broke up four people. It was more than just our affair. Chimon saved me from Mark's manipulation."

I see tears running down his face while he keeps looking down, refusing to look up at me.

He takes a break and sits there silently, regaining his thoughts.

It's like he has broken some wall and is spilling all his emotions at me to scare me away. He is very mistaken if he thinks this talk will be that easy to get rid of me.

I go to say something, and he asks me to let him finish first. I say okay.

After a few minutes, he speaks again, "You are the first person I connect with that is similar to me. My exes and I were always somewhat different. I do want to work things out with you. You have to understand, though, Ohm and I are trying to work things out, but it's been difficult. You must accept him, and both of you must be willing to be in a throuple. The three of us, despite Ohm and I continuing to have separate houses. I haven't talked to Ohm about this. It all depends on you now."

I am surprised about Ohm because I thought I would have to deal with Chimon. Honestly, Ohm seems more straightforward to connect with.

I take a moment to decide what to say first. After a few minutes, I kneel in front of him. I want him to look me in the eyes and feel his emotions through them.

I then gently with my fingers push his chin up.

We automatically looked straight into each other's eyes.

Many don't like him privately, but pretend they do on camera.

He is an ex-bully manipulated by his first ex, Mark. One drunken night, they blamed him only for, "Ruining it all just like that." They easily judge his mistakes, but no one can get them to look at themselves.

He had three boyfriends who would ride or die with him, to the point that they faced the whole company with him against all of them.

They changed everything so that everyone could have a better future.

To me, what's wrong is to blame one person for actions that took more than one person to make this situation out of control.

People often want to push me aside out of protection and love. They mean no harm, but I have to find my own path in life.

I love all of them. I hear their warnings. I remember all the talks with CooHeart and my BL parents, BounPrem.

I still pursued him. Perhaps I am wrong, and some would consider me a home wrecker.

You have to question why it was so easy for the other three to run for the hills after just one night, after YEARS of a relationship.

After some staring deep into each other's eyes, that's where I start. I explain those things to him, reminding him how strong he is and that he is no longer the evil person people put on him.

I tell him I won't give up on him and can't be chased away.

I told him I would try to work things out even with Ohm. I tell him we would have more in common than the other two.

Perhaps that hinted at how far I had thought through things because he asked if I had considered the others.

I then told him, of course, since I am not stupid and wasn't born yesterday. I told him I knew full well that he was in a relationship with them for too many years to lose all three. I said I knew one of the three would be willing to work it out. The thing is, I thought it would be Chimon, his savior, not Ohm, his bodyguard.

Perth just smiled, finally, through his tears. I was a bit confused until he gently placed his hands on each cheek of my face. He said, "Since you know and have proven your determination, we can try dating. But in the next day or two, we will talk. I don't know if Ohm and you will even click, but we can try since I believe in your confidence and am willing to get it a week."

I smiled and excitedly jumped up and hugged him, then kissed him on his lips.

I said, "Thank you for at least trying and giving it this next week." I told him I was confident that things could work out with Ohm.

We then went to bed and cuddled. No sex, just cuddles and hugs and light, small kisses.

We fell asleep.

What we didn't know was that Ohm was trying to call him.

People won't tell you that Ohm is well respected despite his mistakes and many ending ships. 

No one goes against him despite Nanon walking away and Chimon going crazy.

It's because they know Ohm has proven himself even more than Perth. Even when Leng tried to take him down, he failed because Ohm took responsibility for his own actions.

The next day, Perth will call Ohm back. Someone reported back to Ohm about Perth's talk with CooHeart that quickly. Somehow, they even knew about our discussions, too. They told Ohm everything.

Ohm could be mad since he has been trying to work things out with Perth, who is still talking to me. Perhaps, though, knowing the better of himself and how protected I am, Ohm asked to come over to officially meet me off-camera.

Perth asked if it could be in a few days, on Friday, since we all have the weekend off work. Ohm compromised with that, saying Perth can't back out. Perth reassured him he wouldn't.

With that set up, we took showers separately and went to work.

2 1/2 Years Ago

Santa POV:

CooHeart and I don't have a normal relationship. Ours is more of friendship and convenience till we find the one we are meant to be with.

Our fans put us together. They didn't care if we had other plans or intentions, whether we got along or not, or if we were just platonic friends.

They saw a cute couple, nice chemistry, and from there, they wanted us to work together.

Now, I'm not criticizing them. It got me my start. It got me a second family that is protective of me to this day. Some of them even followed me to my new company and third family.

Right now, I am between companies. I'm trying to be an idol, but I'm failing; however, both companies are supportive.

My new company even has a backup plan in place, should I ever need it.

I am currently working at an event. In a few days, I have dance classes with Pond and Joong, whom I have met through other dance classes.

It's just something I enjoy doing as a hobby to keep me busy.

I see Perth right before me with Cooheart on my left, smiling and doing his thing.

This is an awards show, so everyone comes along with Chimon, whom I have heard of.

I heard he is Perth's savior: Perth, the bad boy, and bully.

He is not normal, either. Chimon is OffGuns' BL son and, at one point, the favored one.

Chimon can do whatever he wants, and fans still love him. Rumor has it that he is like a hurricane: He comes in, throws everything upside down, and leaves everything in a better place with peace in the air.

No one can touch him, no one can do anything to him. It has reached the point where I don't even understand why he is in a ship, since it doesn't suit him.

Everyone wants you to think that he fits bl. I disagree, though. Under the act, I believe he is a broken person who doesn't want to be where he is.

I am skilled at what I do, including reading people to ensure safety.

I see the unraveling underneath the persona. I researched this man's background, and I smell a hidden girlfriend. I see that a bad situation was forced on him by an old friend of Perth's, into something he couldn't back out of.

When you are as observant as I am, you learn a great deal. It helps that I am talented and puppy-like.

I made a few calls to look into Mr. Chimon and prepare myself. I genuinely believe he will be my only block to Perth. I might even have to be in a throuple with him. I am not stupid, I know all about Perth and all his "Boyfriends."

One phone call led to another, alerting Boun and others, who now watch over me closely. It was something I couldn't control, though. I needed to know the truth before Perth did.

The sit-down talks, confrontations, and repetitive conversations got annoying quickly.

Over and over, one person after another, then back to Boun and CooHeart.

I believe they thought that just one more talk would break me and convince me to not seek Perth.

Nothing worked, though. No story about Perth could deter me.

At some point, they let it go. They leave it be, since it's like talking to a wall that won't budge.

During the event, I had the opportunity to chat with Perth, who proved to be very friendly and smiley.

It's the cutest thing.

Chimon notices and gives me the stink eye.

I noticed and just caught CooHearts' attention, introducing him.

Perth then tells us that it's been years since he last saw CooHeart, and how apologetic he is about the past.

Later on, there's an after-party, and, of course, we go.

Lots of alcohol and dancing happen.

At some point, CooHeart runs into Bas. They come back to me and check on me. I tell them I'm fine with them spending time together.

Back then, they were sneaking around after Bas had a drunken night with Saint.

They leave, but not after I made a promise to text CooHeart when I get home later. I reassured them that I would. I then let them go and wished them a good time.

I go to find my new friends, Pond and Joong, and dance.

Drink after drink is poured, then Pond officially introduces me to Perth on a break, off to the side of the dance floor.

Joong joked with Perth, asking where his precious boyfriends are. Perth jokes back, "Gone, doing their own thing, fuckers even moved out on me, all damn three."

Pond then says, "Well, you sound like you are single and need to get laid. My new friend here, Santa, is in the same boat. Why don't both of you go dance and get to know each other?"

I quickly get up to object to Pond. My legs go wobbly and Perth catches my drunk ass.

I just stare into his eyes but manage to say, "Opps, I am so sorry."

He gently helps me back on my feet, and we just stare. I can feel the sparks; it's unlike anything I've felt before.

Pond then says his job is done and goes to find Phuwin, with Joong saying bye, then following behind him.

He says it's okay, but doesn't remove his hands from mine. It's like an automatic reaction to ensure I'm OK.

I tell him he can let go because I don't want to cause any trouble.

Perth then says, "You're too cute. If you could get that kind of reaction from my boyfriends, then I would love it. You wouldn't be a trouble, but instead creating the kind of jealousy I haven't seen from them in years."

He then says he's not a dancer and asks if we could chat in a booth.

I agree, and we sit across from each other. More drinks, shots come in.

We start chatting again. I ask what happened that he seems to have new friends without his boyfriends, when it sounded to Pond he was single.

Perth then laughed and said, "Curious one you are, I see. We were so close years ago. We even lived together in the company mansion they used to have. Then, once they got rid of it, I bought my place and lived there for a while. Then, about 6 months ago, all three moved out. Claimed we weren't breaking up, but Chimon wanted to be with family, and who knows what Nanon is doing."

This whole time, we're playing with each other's hands and feet. I noticed that he didn't mention Ohm, but I chose not to say anything since it still seemed too painful to speak of.

I then say, "That sounds dramatic. Supposed to be so in love, but sounds like the four of you are growing apart."

Perth responded, "I am afraid you're right. Now, enough about me. What are you into? I am a rocker besides acting."

I told him, "I love acting. I love music and dancing, and I'm trying to become an idol. I am failing at being an idol, but thanks to people you have recently met, I have a secret backup plan."

He responded, "Interesting, a rocker and a boybander chatting and drinking together. I am an introvert. What are you?"

I answered, "I am an introvert too."

Perth then asked if I wanted to get out of here and go to his place and check out his guitars. I, of course, responded with a yes, I would love to.

He then called his driver to pick us up since we both were already drunk.

Once at his place, he grabbed my hand and quickly dragged me to his music studio. For the next hour, we drank and played music.

We were like kids with new toys, having a great deal of fun.

We were drunk, feeling each other, and getting along so well that it was like we had known each other for years.

We are sitting next to each other when the alcohol won me over, I kissed him, and we both nearly dropped our guitars.

We quickly put them away and sat back down next to each other on his couch, still in his music room.

We just stare at each other, feeling the heat and tension. I then kiss him again, grabbing his face.

He can't help but kiss back. Our hands find each other's face.

I climb onto his lap. Kiss him again, licking his lips for entrance, which he grants. Hands go to each other's faces, then hair slowly moves to the back of our heads.

Rubbing bottoms, deep, heated kisses, my hands find his shirt and start unbuttoning.

I am accustomed to being the top and can't help but take over, even after starting this.

He then says, "We shouldn't be doing this. This isn't right."

I then told him to stop me while I took off my shirt, then his.

I placed his hand on my chest, allowing him to feel my skin, then dragged it down to my stomach and back up.

I put his fingers in my mouth and suck then.

I can tell he is turned on. He seems so built up, one more push and he will burst.

I move his hand from my mouth my ass then unbuckle my pants letting his hands feel the skin underneath.

I smash his face into my chest while repeating to stop me.

That's when he breaks and says, "Fuck it I am fucked anyway."

He then kisses my chest then sucks on my nipples. He leaves marks all over, going down my chest to my stomach.

I grab his face and kiss him, licking his lips for access, which he grants.

I stick my tongue deep within his mouth, tasting it, feeling his tongue move with mine.

While we deeply kiss I roll my hips smashing our clothes dicks together.

We are both hard. His hands travel from chest to down my back then grabbing my ass helping my hips grind into him.

After a few moments, I get up, remove his pants, and plant my face in his lap.

I kiss his inner thighs, suck on his balls, then deep-throat his dick.

His hands go to my head. He grabs my hair and guides me up and down.

He moans, groans, and thrusts into my mouth.

He says he is getting close and tries to stop me, but I refuse to quit. One deep suck later his cum goes down my throat, and I drink every last bit.

I come up licking my lips, then push him down, lying on the couch. I remove my pants.

He asks what I'm doing, as he has just cum and needs a minute.

I tell him that's fine, please don't stop me. I plead with him while grabbing his hand, and putting it on my dick that I want to go all the way at least this once with him.

I give him my best sad puppy face while keeping his hands on my dick. Letting him pump it and gently play with it.

He finally says okay to get the lube and condoms from a nightstand drawer.

I get them out on a table next to us.

I then tell him to stretch his legs.

He looks at me with a lost look.

I tell him I'm a switch, but I've only topped. I told him tonight isn't the night for my first time as a bottom.

I told him I am no dumbass and know he has to many boyfriends not to have bottomed before.

He says okay but forces me to agree that if there's a second time, even later tonight, my ass is his.

I told him to deal, then lifted his legs.

One finger, two fingers, three lubed fingers in his hole. I move all three fingers around stretching him out, while overstimulating him by pumping his dick at the same time.

He can't help but grind, and thrust into my hand and fingers.

He is so soft and like putty in my hands.

After some time, I remove my hand and fingers. He groans, wanting my touch back.

I quickly get the lube again put in all over his hole, then I put the condom on, putting more lube on the condom.

I put his legs on my shoulders and tell him to grab my ass all he wants.

I let him guide me into his hole, slowly pushing in.

I am loving being between his legs with him so spread out for me. It is the hottest thing I have experienced yet.

Once I am all the way him I stop moving, letting him adjust to my dick and not just my fingers.

Then, after some time, he says for me to move. He then grabs my naked ass and pushes.

I moan loudly and start thrusting into his hole.

I can't help but tell him how tight he feels. I tell him how hot and sexy he looks under me. I just keep telling him more and more sexy talk.

He moans more and more loudly.

Then, in a deep thrust, while still in him all the way, I grab his hair, forcing him to look me deep in the eyes.

I keep my hand in his hair, I kiss him, and push my tongue deeply in his throat.

I am a dancer, and it makes me flexible.

So, I manage to do all that while deeply thrusting into him. Once I find his sweet spot, I hit it over and over.

His hands don't leave my ass, it slaps it makes me groan and thrust hard into the right spot in him.

He does it again, and I do it again, attacking his ear and neck. I tell him to play with my hole, I want to see what it feels like to be deep dick down in him while he fingers me.

He just groans and moans at my words, but does as he is told.

I stop thrusting but stay deeply inside him.

He then pushes a finger in and tells me to relax and focus on fucking him.

My body shakes a little, so he pushes my face into his neck.

He tells my to attack his ears, and neck and start thrusting in him while he finger fucks me.

I tell him it's my first time experiencing this, and he says he will make sure it's one I'll never forget.

I say okay and consent to continue.

While he now has two fingers in me, I thrust in him. It gets sloppy.

He asks if I want him to take over and let him fuck me.

My head is cloudy, and my body is yearning for his touch.

I didn't want any of this to happen. I didn't want my first time bottoming to happen like this.

Here we are now and this might be my only chance ever to get fucked by Perth.

I finally consented. I had already stopped thrusting, so it was easy for him to help me pull out and sit up.

I then lubed his dick, put a condom on his dick then started sliding down on it.

He quickly asked if I was sure this was the way I wanted to do it. I said yes, I want to ride him if I am doing it this way.

He said okay and let him adjust.

After some time, I started bouncing, and then he started thrusting into my bounces.

I scream out, "Damn this feels good. I didn't know it felt like this."

I then deeply kiss him while moving my hips around his dick letting his dick feel all of my hole.

His hands find my ass again helping me move just the way he likes it.

We moan loudly over and over, screaming how good it feels to each other.

Before we know it, I'm yelling for him to keep hitting right there.

I yell, "Fuck, yes right there, do that again. Please screw my hole harder daddy."

The filth coming out of my mouth is dirty sex talk I didn't know was in me, but I can tell it is turning him on more than ever before.

After some time I tell him I am about to cum, to please let me cum daddy.

He says for his baby to cum, then starts thrusting into my bounces hard and fast.

I hold into his shoulders while screaming faster and his hands clawing at my ass that is now red.

Some time later I cum hard and a lot all over his stomach.

He cums in the condom, with my hole leaking wetness.

He kissed me and said that it was terrific. I say the same back with a kiss to him.

You can smell the sex in the room. We are now both fucked out of our minds, and not thinking anymore.

He then tells me that no one should be coming over since they call him first, so he says we can clean up the mess later.

He helps me up and pulls out of me, then places me back on the couch.

He throws the condom away in a trash bin near the door.

He then helps me to the shower. We take a shower, clean up, then go to his bed and knock out.

Some hours later we wake up and go another round, but not before he plants his face in my lap deeply sucking on my inner thighs and dick.

I grab his hair, moving his head down and up. I am loudly moaning his name and how good it feels.

I bit my lip while closing my eyes and thrusting into his mouth.

He doesn't let up when I tell him I am about to cum, and he drinks every bit of cum I give him deeply into his throat.

He then stretches me out, and after some time, grabs a condom, puts it on, and slides into me.

It doesn't take but a few moments before I tell him to move.

He then thrusts into me deeper and deeper.

He pauses grabs my legs while keeping his dick in me, and puts them on his shoulders just as I did a few hours ago.

Once down, he goes back to deeply thrusting into me.

I am moaning so loudly. I am clawing at his back and ass.

At some point my hands don't leave his ass, and instead find their way into his hole.

The movement gets me harder, deeper thrusts with moan after moan. He says for me not to stop, so I don't.

It is like our bodies fit together and crave each other.

After some time we both cum, hard and body shaking.

He collapses onto me, and I let him.

I enjoy the moment and tell him we need to shower. I tell him I need to go before people come looking for me.

He says, 'Okay,' and we go to take a shower together. It's more of an unconscious movement. We don't even ask each other if the other is okay with taking one together. It's as if we already know the other is okay and can just move forward.

What we don't know is when someone is already walking in.

They don't know I'm here; they don't know I started this.

While I was in the shower, in the middle of washing and making out again, I heard a click. No knocking, no phone ringing, no one asking where Perth is, just a click, then the bathroom door opens.

Before we can stop what we are doing, the shower curtain is ripped open.

2 1/2 Years Ago

~ Continues ~

Santa POV:

There stands Nanon staring, but before he says anything, in walks Chimon asking what that smell is. Chimon just keeps talking, saying it smells like sex, but Perth should be alone.

Nanon then tells Chimon in a bitter voice to look up and pay attention.

Chimon does and yells, "What the fuck?! Who the hell are you?!"

As this is going on, I hide behind Perth, who grabs a towel off the wall, gives it to me, and then grabs the other. We put it around our waist.

I can't help but be myself and smile and say, "I am no one you need to be concerned about right now. If you could please exit out, let me get dressed and make a phone call to get my ride here, I will be out of your hair in just a few moments."

I say this in a smiling, matter-of-fact tone. I know they are getting annoyed quickly, but I honestly don't care. I just want to leave for my safety, and unfortunately, I may never come back.

They don't know that I know people. In a way, I am more dangerous than Chimon ever was and ever can be. Nanon means nothing to me, nor am I scared of him.

Perth speaks up, telling me just to stay quiet. Then tells them to get out and let us dress, then we will talk outside.

Nanon responds, "I should punch you, rip him into two pieces, and then make sure he knows who to fear."

Chimon responds, "Right, like I know people who can end his career. Shit, I drove Mark so far out he never recovered his career. "

I can't help but laugh. Perth tells me to stop, which makes me argue with him.

I tell him, "Perth, you don't understand what they think isn't right."

Perth interrupted me by saying, "I know what you're saying. I know you can make phone calls and end all this that quickly. They don't know that, and they don't need to right now."

Perth then tells them, "Stop showing off your ego and get out. We will be right out to talk and explain things. If you don't get out now, this will not end the way you want it to. That I promise you."

They both say fine and leave, but not before muttering more curse words.

Once they leave, Perth, quickly gets out and locks the door, all the while cursing to himself about the whole situation.

I speak up, saying, "I am sorry for all this. I know it's all my fault. You really should let me explain that to them, so they know not to blame you for something I caused."

Perth responded, "I get what you're saying. Honestly, I do. I am just as at fault since I could have stopped it. There's a lot I could've done, but didn't. We can discuss it later, but for now, we need to get you out of this house safely. Please tell me you have someone you can call to come pick you up, that's not BounPrem or Cooheart."

I tell him, "Okay fine, but eventually we have to talk about this and sort it out. Yes, I do have a couple of dance buddies who can come get me that know all of you."

Perth then asked who I was talking about, and I told him my dance buddies, Pond and Joong.

Perth's face turned white, then he said, "Okay, call them." I know he was silently cursing.

We quickly dressed, and I grabbed my phone, which I had happened to pick up and put on the bathroom counter.

Perth then leaves. I close the door and lock it. I am done with the situation and want to go home.

Now I know Perth heard me lock it, but I do not care.

I call Pond.

------------------------------------------------------

Santa and Pond

Converstaion

Pond:

Hello, what's up?

Santa:

Hey, you know how you warned me I would need saving if I don't stop with the Perth thing?

Pond:

Yeah, don't tell me that time is now?

Santa:

Unfortunately, it is. Apparently, Perth isn't so single after all.

Pond:

Are you serious? I could kill him. Where are you? I will call Joong and pick you up.

Santa:

I am at Perth's house, stuck in his master bathroom, refusing to come out now that I got them three out.

Pond:

What do you mean by those three?

Santa:

Perth, Nanon, and Chimon.

Pond:

Oh, right, they no longer speak of Ohm. I forgot, but that's for a conversation some other time.

Santa:

Right. Can you be here soon? The sooner the better, please. I don't want to be here anymore, and I don't want to speak of last night ever again, either.

Pond:

Yes, I just need to call Joong real quick and be there in 10 minutes, hopefully. Just stay there with the door locked until I contact you to let you know we've arrived.

Santa:

Okay, sounds like a plan. I will stay put and wait for your call. Bye.

Pond:

Bye:

Pond  then calls  Joong, and this is their conversation.

Joong:

Hey P, what's up?

Pond:

Where are you right now? Santa is in trouble.

Joong:

I am a few rooms down from the dance room with Dunk. What's wrong with Santa?

Pond:

Let us just say Perth is not as single as he sounded. I don't know exactly what happened, but it was somewhere along the lines of Nanon and Chimon finding them. Now Santa got himself locked up in a bathroom at Perth's house.

Joong:

Shit. I was worried this would happen. Okay, I'll tell Dunk to call Phuwin to pick him up. Where are you?

Pond:

I have Phuwin with me, just come to the dance studio and we can separate from here.

Joong:

Okay, see you in a few minutes.

They both say bye and hang up.

------------------------------------------------------

After some time, Joong and Pond are on their way to Perth's house, very worried for their dance buddy.

They know Perth, Nanon, and Chimon. Joong has known Perth for a long time.

Ten minutes later, they arrive at Perth's house and, not missing a beat, hurry and get out. They knock on Perth's door, who answers quickly, letting them in.

Perth knows why they are here since Santa already told him that he would call them.

Before Perth could say anything, Chimon quickly spoke, asking why in the hell they were here, because this was a private matter.

Both Pond and Joong smiled and laughed, then Pond spoke up first. Pond then responded, "Private matter my ass. Mr I think I am bigger then my ass we are here for Santa. I am assuming you realize you dumb ducks who Santa is."

Joong spoke, "Hey Perth, it's been a long time. Look, we will be nice as long as you hand over Santa in one piece. I don't want things to get ugly."

Nanon said, "Wait, wait wait wait a damn minute. Don't tell me it's the Santa I am thinking of. Please tell me I didn't threaten Bouns Santa."

Chimon spoke, "Nanon, there's no damn way its Bouns Santa because that would mean we would have to deal with CooHeart which neither Boun or Coheart came. Instead, these two came."

Joong responded, "I know you can't be this stupid. I know Chimon who used to control GMMtv, can't possibly not know Santa."

Perth interrupted, "Guys, stop. It's not important right now. Let me get him so the three of you can go. After that, the three of us will work things out. I swear no more words. Any of you!"

Perth leaves without listening to another word. The others keep bickering amongst the four of them.

Perth then knocks on the bathroom door, letting Santa know it's just him.

Santa opens up, asking if Pond and Joong are here, and Perth says yes.

Santa says okay and goes to leave, not wanting to hear whatever Perth has to say.

Perth grabs Santa's arm, asking to talk for a minute. Santa says okay, but to quickly say whatever he wants to say.

Santa tells him he wants to leave and no longer be here.

Perth says okay, then says, "Please don't be like that. We work things out, just give me some time. Our connection last night wasn't something I have experienced before. I need time, though."

Santa just rolls his eyes. Santa then says, "I get it and agree our connection is special, but we were drunk. You lied and were never single, as you claimed. I might be young, but I know a relationship can't start like that."

Without another word, Santa pulls away and quickly walks away.

Santa goes to Pond and Joong. Joong quickly moves him behind them so the other three can't get to him.

Perth is still trying to talk things out with Santa, even though Nanon and Chimon can hear everything.

Santa tells everyone to shut up. Then Santa tells Nanon and Chimon that he is CooHearts' partner. He is BounPrems BL son. He is the Santa failing to be an idol. He is also the Santa that Pond and I, as dance buddies, know P'Tha.

Santa continues, "Yes, I am that person. Yes, I'm aware of Perth's three boyfriends. I understood last night that the four of you broke up, but it's apparent that a major miscommunication occurred. I apologize for that. Now all that over, I would like to take my leave and not see any of you liars again, thank you."

Chimon being himself said, "Well fuck you too. I don't care who you think you know, or if these two bodyguards of yours are. Stay away from Perth."

Nanon tries to calm him down, but Chimon is angry. Perth then goes to Chimon and also tries to calm him.

Not wanting to deal with any of it, Santa doesn't respond and instead asks Pond and Joong if they can leave since this no longer involves them.

Pond says yes. They are about to leave when Pond feels something hit him. Then Joong blocks a book from hitting Santa.

A fight broke out between Nanon and Chimon, who threw things at Perth, then at Santa.

Pond grabs his phone and calls Off.

Off tells them to leave because he and Tay are on their way.

Off tells him not to explain anything to him because he doesn't want to know. Off just says to make sure everyone knows to stay away from Santa.

Pond tells him Santa already knows and said that to them. Pond asks for Off to just remind them of it.

Off says he can that way, he knows they understand.

They say goodbye and hang up.

They leave, not caring about what's happening inside the house. Santa doesn't listen to the pleas from Perth or anything.

Five minutes later, Off and Tay show up.

Perth, then curses and says, of course, that's who Pond called.

Chimon mouths off that he can handle his problems.

Perth finally snaps, "You can handle your problems? You and Nanon haven't been to my house in a long time. Haven't called me in weeks. We don't speak of Ohm, and instead ignore the problem. You can't handle shit. Why, of all days, did you show up and claim me today? Why now?"

Nanon then speaks, "Don't you dare say Ohm's name. That's my problem. We never agreed we broke with you, just Ohm. We can show up whenever we feel like it since we are still dating and have been for years. So get over it!"

Without skipping a beat, Perth responded, "Don't speak of Ohm? Fuck both of you. He is still my friend. I understand he hurt us, but all of you abandoned me before that. Our relationship was never the same."

Off the says, "Enough, nothing will get solved tonight like this. Chimon, come with me. Now!"

Tay says, "I agree. Nanon, you're with me. You know the deal."

Off responds, "I will say this. Please stay away from Santa, Pond, and his crew. You don't want to fuck with them. It is like tonight. Pond automatically knew to call me. Think about that. Santa called them in an attempt to not make matters worse, but the three of you can't help but be yourselves. Luckily, it's just Tay and me. Remember, stay away from them. Leave Santa alone!"

After that, they leave separately. Perth was left to clean up a broken home, with things thrown everywhere.

Six months later, Chimon and Perth ended their working relationship and the ship.

They simply couldn't move past all the different ways they hurt each other.

A year later, Santa was now a part of GMMtv.

The backup plan for Santa is in full swing.

During all this, Santa sits down with BounPrem and P'Tha.

They ask him if he is still interested in being a bl actor. P'Tha tells him that there's a project that needs someone to step into a role that was meant for someone else.

He tells Santa it doesn't matter who that someone is because they are now on medical leave. He says that's all Santa needs to know about that.

Before Santa can respond, P'Tha tells him that this is a rare opportunity for a permanent bl ship. The other person has been doing BL work now single for a year.

Boun then asks if Santa knows the possible ship partner.

P'Tha says yes, possibly, it's Perth.

Santa, for a moment, just stares at P'Tha. Prem gets worried and tells Santa he doesn't have to do this since he is in Project Jasp.er.

Santa then shakes it off and says he can do it. He says he can balance both depending on fans' acceptance.

P'Tha smiles and says, 'Great, then filming starts in two weeks. For him to come back the following day and meet Perth.'

All agree and leave.

The next day, Santa returns to P'Tha's office and meets Perth as if they have never met before.

They act professionally in front of P'Tha and stay on their best behavior.

Everything goes great. They become best friends but never speak of the past.

It haunts both of them, though, but it won't be for another year before that conversation happens.

That would be the one after Perth's 7-year LBC reunion.

Meanwhile, Ohm is alone. He knows a lot of what's happened.

He knows about Santa, not in the best of ways, since his exes, Chimon and Nanon, have brought it up once or twice.

All contact with them now, though, is cut and nonexistent.

He is still friends and working on their relationship with Perth. Perth refuses to discuss Santa every time Ohm tries to bring up the topic.

Ohm drops it till he gets a call from Joong. Joong knows everyone. Joong is protective of Santa but friends with Ohm.

Joong means no harm but knows the three need to talk before higher-ups or any bl parents get involved.

That's how Ohm knows about Perth's 7-year reunion. It's Joong, he knows everyone.

Santa doesn't know yet that Joong talked to Ohm.

Should he be mad? Perhaps. Will Perth be surprised? Probably not, since he has known Joong for years.

It is all coming together now.

Song Inspiration:

1 ~ You Broke Me First by Conor Maynard

2~ Good as I Was to You by Lorrie Morgan

3~ Is There Life Out There by Reba McEntire
------------------------------------------------------

Perth POV:

If you had told me 3 years ago that I would be alone now, I would have called you crazy. If you had told me then, I would have only been platonic best friends with Ohm three years later. I wouldn't believe you because we all love each other too much.

Three years later, I am just friends with Nanon now. We are completely platonic. We have put the past behind us and moved on.

Nanon stays away from most people. Everyone helps keep him separated from Ohm, even Chimon sometimes. It's such a habit that it's long been lost on why anyone does it now.

Nowadays, Nanon prefers to stay single and avoid BL. He has nothing to do with BL at all, except for fans and his friends. The seniors have kept him at their side at all times. Krist and he stay together most of the time, with both of them joking at each other and playing music together.

Nanon also has a new bestie in Mark, the biggest joker around in the company. Mark as his partner, baby Ohm, who has also befriended Nanon.

Two years ago, everything came to an end with Chimon.

It didn't end by simply walking away. It didn't end by merely agreeing it wasn't working.

No, that would be too easy.

It all happened by chance.

We were in the very beginning of our next show, Perfect 10 Liners. It was just scripts, not even workshops yet.

Everyone was still debating who they would play and whether this character would work for them.

It was a weird day. I had long grown accustomed to being alone, but typically, since my night with Santa, they text me to check in at least.

Coming out of the shower, I had nothing missed on my phone. Strange Chimon should have texted by now.

I tried calling him, but received no answer. Weird, so I called Nanon, who had no answer.

I knew Ohm wouldn't know, so I didn't bother him.

I tried again because we needed to meet up and make final decisions on the next series.

I knew where he was. He now had a new place of his own.

So I got dressed and went over.

It would be easier if he were having an affair since he always claimed me. I could throw it back at him. Lying will break any relationship, I think.

It wouldn't have hurt if I had walked in on him having sex, like what happened to Ohm and me. It would be okay, we would be even then, you can say.

No, that would be too easy to give a reason to move on.

Instead, a girl answered the door.

I had seen her a few times over the years. Chimon always brushed her aside, saying, "Don't worry about her. She's no one's concern."

Offgun never had anything to say about her, so I let it go once, twice, too many times.

Perhaps it's me, blinded by love for my savior.

Perhaps I saw the red but didn't want to believe it.

She opened the door, saying, "Hi, how can I help you, Perth?" in the most innocent voice.

Perhaps she was caught in the middle.

Before I could speak, I could hear Chimons' voice yelling for his baby to come back.

No, that's not right, you don't call your friend "Baby."

She then yelled she would be right there, Perth is at the door.

It was as if she knew me and wasn't thinking, but that caught his attention, making him rush to the door.

He was in shock as the color faded away.

I was just standing there, confused.

I asked who this was and what was going on.

He said for me to calm down, he can explain.

I said, "Let me make a call, then you and she can explain."

I made two calls. One to Nanon, letting him know to come over to Chimons. I also told him I am calling Ohm. It's one of only a few times they would see each other and not want to fight.

Ten minutes later, both showed up at Chimons' new place.

The girl seemed confused but quietly tried to calm him down.

Chimon was freaked out knowing he had been caught.

Once the other two showed up, I yelled, not caring who I would hurt, "So who is this? I swear you say wife or girlfriend, I am swinging. If that's true, how long? All three of you put me through so much crap over Leng and Santa. All three of you moved out and continue to act like we never lived together, yet we did for years. So Chimon, tell me who's this baby of yours."

Nanon spoke, "Chimon, tell me you didn't. You know how much their affairs hurt me!"

Ohm responds, "Explain! Because you gave me hell over Leng! You caused all of us not to live together! Oh, I get. She's the reason!"

Chimon finally spoke, "Guys, I am sorry. Over the years, so much happened that it became impossible to tell any of you the truth. I love all of you so much, but don't ask me to leave her. She's been around longer than you think."

I respond, "Oh, so that makes it okay? That doesn't say shit! Explain and quickly before I punch a wall!"

Chimon spoke, "Perth, honey, you have to understand, I started dating her 5 years ago, 3 months before you. We are getting married next year. This whole thing with you started because of a phone call from Saint."

Ohm quickly grabbed me before I could punch him. Just the mention of Saint from 5 years ago snaps my mind.

Nanon spoke while Ohm calmed me down, "Seriously, five years? So, everything with us was fake? The late nights, the quad sex, the college years. All fake? All because Saint called for help. What logic is that?"

Chimon answered, "You have to understand, Perth was out of control, and Mark was manipulating him, so I had to help. Saint was a close friend back then; we had projects together. Saint never hurt me. Saint never did anything wrong to me. You're wrong, Nanon. Everything was real. I couldn't help but be in love with all of you. I am sorry I didn't tell any of you about her. She knows everything, though, and isn't bothered by it. I never lied to her or kept secrets from her."

I finally stopped fighting Ohm to punch Chimon.

I sat on the floor, closed my eyes, and let the tears out. I didn't care that it was in front of him. I took some deep breaths and found a calmness in the pain.

It all made sense to me now.

The sudden disappearances, her random appearances, and his fight to live separately after Ohm's affair with Leng.

I finally spoke, "It all makes sense now. That's why you would disappear. That's why you wanted to live apart from each other. Shit, you blamed Ohm so much we stopped talking to him for a good 6 months, and even to this day we are barely friendly with him. Why blame Ohm when you had a full girlfriend?!"

Chimon spoke, trying to make another statement, but as soon as he repeated the Saint's name, I told him to stop. I said, "You know what, just stop. If all you're going to do is blame Saint, don't bother speaking. It's over—projects over. Ships over, but you weren't ever into it anyway. Hell, it was like pulling teeth to get you to act right in BL. Chimon, I am done. I don't want to hear any more excuses from you. Actually, any of you! I am done. Single, alone!"

I get up and leave. Ignoring the yells to come back. The grab of my arm from Ohm stops me for a moment, then I pull away, get in my car, turn off my phone, and drive. I just keep driving. I just lost the people that meant the most to me. Officially.

I called Pond. I needed to talk to someone, and I had recently befriended him.
------------------------------------------------------

Pond and Perth Conversion

Pond:

Hello.

Perth:

Hi, I'm sorry, but I need to speak with someone because something has happened. Can I come over to chat?

Pond:

Huh, sure, but Joong, Dunk, and Phuwin are all here.

Perth:

That's fine if I don't stop driving, I might crash, and I can't go home because they will find me.

Pond:

Well, that sounds dangerous. Yes, come here and you will be safe.

Perth:

Thanks, I will be there shortly.

We both said bye and hung up.
———————————————————————————

Perth POV:

10 minutes later, and an hour after leaving Chimon.

I show up at Ponds. I am not stupid, and I know part of the reason they befriended me was because of Santa.

I know they are keeping tabs on me. I know how stupid this is, and there are plenty of other people I could call.

I know I shouldn't have left. I know I should have stayed and worked it out.

None of those options felt right.

I just stayed in my car for a while before finally turning it off and knocking on the door.

I know this is so stupid after what happened with Santa.

I haven't even spoken to the boy since that night 6 months ago.

The door opens, and Joong is standing there. My mind goes blank, and I say, "I shouldn't have come here; this was a mistake."

Joong grabs my arm, stopping me from leaving.

Joong says, "Ohm called me, I know what's going on. Please come in, everyone is worried about you."

This statement, two years later, will be long forgotten, but it will resurface.

I tell him I forgot he knows everybody. I finally agreed to come in.

Joong sits me down on the couch and asks me if I want to talk about it.

I respond, "I honestly don't know where to start. Should I start with 6 months ago, when I had a one-night stand with Santa that Chimon gave me hell about? Should I have started a year ago, when Ohm had an affair with Leng, which caused us to move out and live separately? That caused Ohm so much hurt that none of us talked to each other for 6 months. Oh, or should I start with the fact that apparently Chimon has had a girlfriend since day one, five years ago? Chimon also blames Saint, by the way. Bastard kept blaming Saint for everything."

I just keep rambling, forgetting who was around. Then Joong said for me to breathe, reminding me where I was.

I then start apologizing. I have quickly forgotten that he mentioned Ohm. I was simply too mad and upset to understand they had a phone conversation or even friends.

I was having a complete breakdown, mentally and emotionally. My mind was here, there, and everywhere.

I then started panicking, grabbing at Joong, begging not to call Santa. I started saying the kid doesn't need to be involved with me because apparently, I am not suitable for anyone. I manage to destroy everything around me. I made him promise to protect Santa from me.

Little did I know Pond, Dunk, and Phuwin were already quietly talking in the other room.
———————————————————————————

Kitchen Conversations

Pond:

He's having a complete breakdown. He hasn't had anything to do with Saint in years.

Phuwin:

Shouldn't we call Santa? You know he will take care of Perth in a heartbeat, getting him off our hands.

Dunk:

Right. Poor Joong is doing his best, but he wasn't involved in any of that back then. Let's just call Santa.

Pond:

I'm not sure that's the best idea. The last time he saw Perth, he basically called him a liar. Santa wanted to move on.

Dunk:

True. I remember Joong telling me about that. Santa was so done and disappointed in Perth, and so embarrassed by being caught. Perhaps we shouldn't tell Santa at all.

Phuwin:

Well, that's a good point. It might be best not to tell Santa about this. It might do more harm than good.

Pond:

Let's talk to Joong first, see what he thinks.

After a while, Joong finally has Perth sleeping on Ponds' couch. He quietly leaves to speak to the others.

Joong:

Hey guys. What are we going to do? He's completely heartbroken and finally sleeping off his breakdowns.

Pond:

Hi, we wanted to discuss that with you. We wanted to know what you thought of calling Santa. Perhaps he can help him.

Joong:

I don't think that's a good idea. He said he didn't want to involve the kid because he destroys everything. He kept going on and on about how bad it would be for Santa. It's like his heartbreak included Santa. I guess that one-night stand affected him more than he admitted to himself.

Pond:

I was afraid of that. I think we shouldn't ever tell Santa. I don't think there will ever be a right time to explain any of this. We will just have to help him get it together. Perhaps it would be good for him to be single and make new friends for a while.

Joong:

I agree. We can help him through this new chapter. His leaving the past behind will be suitable for everyone. Santa doesn't ever have to know about any of this.
------------------------------------------------------

They would go on to talk and chat among the four of them.

The days to come would bring more meltdowns, breakdowns, and crash-outs.

Ohm would start coming around, and as spoken before, they would work on their friendship, then their relationship.

Santa was never told about any of this. To date, he is unaware of what happened.

Things for Ohm the moment he had an affair with Leng were like one bad nightmare. He didn't want the affair, but both were drunk. Ohm even called Leng Nanon several times because he was so blacked out drunk.

Leng wasn't that drunk. Leng could have stopped it all, knowing who all Ohm was dating, but chose not to.

Some ships are not meant to work out, and the OhmLeng ship ended just as fast as it started.

Chimon, back then, lost it when he came in and found Ohm blacked out, sleeping face down on his bed.

Leng was long gone, but left a note that Chimon found first. 

The note said, "Thanks for the drunken sex. Calling me Nanon didn't bother me much. I know I should have called one of them, but I found it in your best interest for this to happen. I have known you since school. Once things calm down, call me, and we can move on together without them. Love you, Leng."

Ohm wasn't registering anything in his mind. He was hungover and confused.

Chimon ended things right there and then. The move out became permanent right then and there.

Nanon didn't get a chance to ever talk to Ohm besides a few arguments. They never fully spoke again. However, no one knows what the future holds.

Ohm never got the chance to explain himself, wasn't able to defend himself, or anything. Everyone made their minds up without question and wanted no excuses.

Chimon always controlled everything with the four of them. He had to keep his girlfriend without losing his boyfriends.

The four of them had faced the wrath of the company and Saint. They once said they would always stay together. They promised each other not to let anyone else get between them like Mark did.

Mark was Perth's beginning. Chimon was supposed to be his ending along with OhmNanon. Chimon promised he was Perth's whole world. He was always around, never too far but just out of sight.

No one ever questioned him. The question remains, who all knew about Chimon's girlfriend? How far does the betrayal go?

Perth would quickly pour himself into his music and being a rockstar. He never forgot Santa but kept a distance from Santa. To Perth, he was saving Santa from pain he could prevent.

No one gave Santa a choice regarding Perth. Everyone agreed Santa needed to do his own thing away from Perth.

What will happen when it all comes out to Santa that his friends hide so much?

Nothing can remain a secret. Everything eventually comes out.

Like it or not, everything will be exposed.

This chapter was renamed three times and didn't come out as planned, but I hope it helps bring some of the story together.

Fake News references, I hope everyone caught them.

------------------------------------------------------
~ Santa POV :

If you had told me 2 and 1/2 years ago that 2 and 1/2 years later, I would learn what happened 2 years ago, and learn the depths of the betrayal, I wouldn't believe you.

The depth of betrayal shook me to my core. I just couldn't believe it. I know they meant well. I know they thought I wouldn't want to know, and I would prefer to move on. I know they thought telling me would cause more harm.

Wasn't that my choice to make? Why couldn't I have a chance to decide about my business with Perth?

Perhaps if I had known then what I know now, I wouldn't have walked out the door from our one-night stand. I could have fought harder against them.

If only Pond had called me 2 years ago, I could have run to Perth and put him back together. I could have shown my deep love for him and how it could heal him. There are so many what-ifs that could have happened but didn't. If I let it, it would drive me crazy.

How did I find out? Well, that's a story for the next chapter. Till then, let's talk about the last year.

Let's back up to when our ship started.

I didn't know till some time later, but Pond had suggested me for the new series.

He knew I was ready for a new series since I had just fully joined GMMtv, and supposedly, everyone was on good terms.

At this point, it was a year and a half since I had last talked to Perth.

From the meeting with P'Tha and BounPrem, everything started getting busy. My schedule got packed, and life moved quickly.

Perth and I never spoke of the past except once.

Just once, and we knew it didn't need to be talked about again till the flood was ready to come.

It was 6 months ago. The last few episodes were about to air.

I figured we would go our separate ways after that.

Then Perth suddenly asked if I would be interested in joining the cast for a Perfect 10 Liners concert and a fan tour.

I said I would love that. The whole cast and I have become as close as a family can be.

I was so excited, I hugged him, surprising him, but he hugged back.

He whispered into my neck that he missed me.

I wasn't expecting him to say this. I said I missed him, too. I told him it's just been a few days since I've been practicing with Jasp.er.

We don't live together, but spend every day together at this point.

He then said, "This will be the only time I will say this. No, you don't understand. I miss us from our one-night stand. I miss that intoxicating connection we had. I am not ready to date. There's so much you don't know. So much I also don't understand. I wouldn't know where to start to explain how I ended up alone in bl events. I am not ready, but I miss you. I shouldn't, I am a bad influence."

Tears, I felt tears on my neck as he talked into my shoulder while hugging me tight.

I know at the time he was conflicted with how he felt.

What I didn't know was the depth of pain he had.

I quickly understood that some things take time to talk about.

Some people will say I shouldn't care about him so much. It's my choice, though, and I refuse to leave him.

I respond, "Let's just be us for right now. Let's not go there yet. I don't think either of us is ready."

I forced him to look at me from my shoulder.

You have to understand we are standing in the middle of a dressing room at the company building. The last episode was the following week, and this is an event for the finale. This is so unexpected that the door isn't locked.

He looks me in the eyes and says, "Okay, let us be us for a while. No dating, no past, and no drama. Just us."

I then felt his lips on mine. It was different from feeling them while filming. This was more personal.

It was a quick kiss, but being me, I couldn't help but grab his face and kiss him.

He kissed me back, so I licked his lips for access, which he granted. His hands find my ass, just like our night.

I haven't done anything sexual since that night. I just couldn't get myself interested in anyone to try to move on. I knew how stuck I was, but my heart wouldn't let it go.

After making out, we break apart, and I ask him to come to my apartment since I am not ready to go to his house yet.

He said, Okay, as long as I am sure. I told him yes, this way we can move forward, and be us until it's time to deal with other things.

He said okay and agreed it would be a new start.

We kiss again. We started making out, losing track of where we are, and started pulling on one another.

That's when Junior walked in. He doesn't know either of our pasts, nor does he care. I am sure he knows the stories, though.

He says, "I know both of you are in love with each other, but it's time to go out for the event. Both of you can pick this up later."

That's just Junior being himself, picking at us, and getting things moving along.

We smile, laugh, and help one another adjust, gathering together.

Hours later, we are leaving. Perth follows me to my apartment. I didn't think he would actually come.

We go up and inside, Perth, locking the door behind us.

I then welcomed him in and said he is welcome to stay the night since it's getting late.

I go to my room to change. Honestly, I was nervous about him being there. I didn't know what to expect. I know what he insinuated, but I didn't think he was for real.

He follows me to the back. I look at him and say I am just changing. I then ask him what he is doing.

He responds, "It's been a year and a half since we were together."

I interrupt him, saying, "I thought we were not going to talk about that."

He says, "That's not what I mean. What I mean is life worked out to where you are the last person I was intimate with. I just wanted you to know. I want to get close to you again like that."

That's not something I was prepared to hear from him.

I just stare at him for a moment, trying to decide whether to believe him or not.

I honestly don't know how I should react. All these nice words are lovely. Is it real, though? I know I refuse to leave him, but I have this internal battle going two different directions.

After some time, I finally say, "I can't compete with your exes or boyfriends. It's not fair. I don't want someone knocking at my door looking for you again. I love you. I honestly do, but I refuse to pretend I actually have a shot with you anymore. I don't want to give up, but I have a lot to lose if this blows up in my face again."

I go and sit on my bed thinking of what to do. Just looking everywhere, but nowhere, and not at him.

You have to remember that at this time, I have no idea what happened in the last year before. I had no idea how much Perth truly moved on from those people, and to me. I honestly thought they still had him tied to them. I didn't know or realize how deeply Perth was hurt in the last year.

He came and sat in front of me, kneeling, then gently touching my face as he looked at me.

He responds, "There's so much you don't know. I'm unable to explain any of it right now. I just need you to trust me one last time. One last time, and I promise you I won't hurt you or let anyone else hurt you. Yes, there's a lot that both of us are confused about with the other. I really think right now we can just be us. Just you and me. It's not the time to date, nor is it the time to dig into the past. Please, Ta, just trust me one last time."

I didn't know he could beg, but here he is begging me to let us be us. To trust him one last time.

My heart melted. I couldn't deny him. I said okay while he was wrapped around my waist in my lap, while still kneeling.

I hugged him back while telling him he can't leave now.

He just laughed and said he didn't plan on leaving.

After some time, he got up but then leaned down and kissed me.

He slowly pushed me down into the mattress.

Pressing down on me. Kissing my neck, then back to my mouth.

All the sensations came back to me with force.

This was different from during filming. It's hard to explain.

We both start pulling at each other's clothes, which quickly get removed and disappear.

We are making out, he goes back to my neck. Kissing down my neck from the side to the front, down to my chest, sucking and squeezing each nipple.

My hands roam his body, not able to settle on one spot.

He kisses down to my tummy.

I curse out, not able to voice how I am feeling, but quietly moaning. I know he heard them, though.

Perth looks up and smiles at me, enjoying the fact that he knows he turns me on.

I tense up, looking back at him, and he feels it.

He says, "Ta baby, calm down, it's just me, I won't hurt you. You can relax, it's just us at your apartment. No one's coming here."

That reminder helps because he's right, no one would dare storm into my apartment.

I finally relax and breathe. He notices and goes back to kissing down to my inner thighs.

After kissing all around, he face plants in my lap.

Deep throating, slurping, and sucking. My hands find his hair, and my body thrusts into his mouth.

After some time with my legs now bent up and spread, I voice that if he doesn't stop, I am going to cum.

I think he found that as a challenge and went down my dick harder, playing with my balls at the same time.

Before I could control it, I came deep into his throat.

My body is shaking with my hand tightly tangled in his hair.

I finally let go, trying to catch my breath, when I feel my body being pushed further into the bed.

I realize he wants me to move to the head of the bed, so I help move there.

Once I am there, I just lie back down on my back.

I close my eyes, trying to gather myself again. I am feeling all kinds of things, including sensations all over.

That's when I feel him stretch me out. My eyes open, and I quickly ask him if he is sure about this.

He says he is and consents. I say okay and consent since it's a little late to back out now, even though I could.

My eyes roll as he thrusts a third finger into me, and the sensations go straight to my dick just that quick.

My body can't help but move back and forth on his fingers.

I can tell he is loving my body's response to him.

He then asks where the condoms are, and I motion to my nightstand.

He gets them and puts one on, keeping the others on the nightstand.

He noticed a toy in my nightstand and asked if it was what he thought it was. He also asks why I have this.

I look at what it is he is asking about and curse.

I tell him I forgot that was even there, and I bought it to play with out of curiosity. It's a cock ring to prevent me from cuming till it's taken off.

He says okay, and asks, since we are switches, if he can put it on me until he rides me.

I say okay, we can try, but I don't know if I will be able to handle it.

He says okay for me to say stop if I need to, which I agree to.

He puts it on me with a click. It's a bit tight, but I am so hard again already.

He tells me to relax as he has my legs on his shoulders, and pushes into my hole.

I am loving feeling all of him. Any part of him on me I want to stay.

I am moaning, groaning, and cursing.

I can't help but tell him, "Deeper, harder, fuck you are so hot!"

He does what I ask while kissing me hard and deep.

My hands are grabbing his ass, pushing him further into my hole, and clawing at it, and making it red.

He suddenly slows down and tells me to stretch him out while he stops, but stays deeply in my hole.

I say okay and push his finger in, making him moan loudly.

After some time, I push another finger in, making him thrust on my fingers, then in my back into my hole.

It's not the first time we have been in the position, nor the last.

I push a third then open and close my fingers inside him, opening and stretching his hole.

He is a moaning, groaning mess on top of me. It makes me feel like I have some control when I get him like this.

I then ask him if he is ready to switch, and after a few more moments of him bouncing up and down, and wiggling on my fingers inside of him, he agrees.

I pull my fingers out of him, then he pulls out of me. He then takes off the cock ring.

My eyes roll from relief and desire from my cock to be free.

Perth tells me to just breathe through it and not to cum yet.

I give him my sad puppy eyes, but he says not to look at him that way. I will be able to soon.

He then quickly puts on a condom and moves on top of me, sliding down my dick.

I start groaning, almost growling, forcing myself not to lose control. I am so close to breaking.

That's when I feel Phi bouncing up and down on my dick, moving my hands on his hips.

A few moments later, I feel his right hand gently on my throat, while his left is next to me, holding himself up, as he leans down and kisses me.

We make out for a few moments while he still manages to keep wiggling and moving his ass on my dick.

He then asks me to stay with him. To hold on just a few more minutes, then we can cum together.

I start moaning out, "Phi, I love how you feel in me and on me. It's not like anything I have ever experienced before. I just want more."

With that, I start thrusting up into him fast and hard into his bounces.

After some time, he says I can cum, and moments later, at the same time, I cum, and he does too. It's like one triggered the other.

That's when I confirmed with myself that when Phi and I have sex, it's the most switch thing anyone could experience.

After that, we became inseparable. The only time we wouldn't see each other was when I had practice or events with Jasp.er.

The month before the 7-year reunion, I sensed something was amiss. I just couldn't figure it out.

Perhaps this is when Perth got serious about "Working things out with Ohm."

Perhaps I should have seen our bubble about to burst. I know we were in denial about the past. I know it was all bound to happen.

I should have seen the time to work things out with the past coming. I didn't, though, perhaps I refused to see the time coming.
------------------------------------------------------

The veil of hidden truths is about to be revealed. It's time to confront Ohm in the next chapter.

Things are not always as they seem. It may seem like Ohm and Perth want to work things out. It may seem like Nanon is content with being alone.

Nothing is what it seems. Perth won't let Santa go easily this time, but he just doesn't want to admit it too quickly. Perth has a conflict within him.

The drama from the past comes out in the next chapter. Please stay tuned.
