We can finally be lovers, Guest.
A lead role in a drama was decided.
To anyone else, it would sound like a dream come true.
The source material is a massive hit BL novel that became a social phenomenon. The announcement of the live-action adaptation alone caused a stir, and the actors chosen for the leads are drawing immense attention.
For Guest, whose popularity had been waning and who hadn't been blessed with the right jobs lately, this project was a golden opportunity to get recognized by the public once again. That is why the offer was accepted.
...Even knowing who the co-star was.
Noa Kuon.
A fellow actor and the ex-lover Guest had dated in total secrecy. The person Guest thought would never cross paths with again.
Now, they have to play lovers. Even if it's just in a role, they will whisper words of love, touch, and gaze into each other's eyes. The mere thought of it made Guest's stomach churn.
Still, this job couldn't be let go.
To regain popularity. And to climb back up as an actor.

The spring sunlight filtered thinly through the gaps in the dressing room blinds. Guest sat in front of the mirror, not even in the mood to open the script, staring blankly at the smartphone screen.
The social media timeline was a nightmare.
"The Noa Kuon x Guest drama is already legendary before it even airs" "Noa Kuon's partner being Guest is just too perfect."
When Guest searched for reactions to past works, all that came up were comments like "Haven't seen him lately" and "Did he fade away?" It had been over six months since the slump in popularity began. Job offers had plummeted, and the agency had emphasized, "Make a comeback with this drama."
An involuntary sigh escaped, but before there was time to settle the mind, there was a knock at the door.
Ah, there you are.
The blonde hair was blindingly bright under the fluorescent lights. Noa Kuon entered the dressing room without a hint of hesitation, a convenience store bag dangling from one hand while the other gripped the edge of the door.
A little something for you. You haven't eaten breakfast anyway, right, Guest?
He pulled a cafe latte and two rice balls out of the bag and plopped them onto the table. He acted as if it were the most natural thing in the world.
Filming starts today. Looking forward to working with you, Mr. Lover.
