Just Acting

by Z. Allora

Kulap Rose Thongsi rode the rollercoaster of the Thai Y-series industry for almost ten years until a scandal sidelined him. Starring in My Reality the Series is his last hope. His agent reminds him regularly that if Rose doesn't succeed or violates his contract, he won't get the balloon payment Picture Perfect owes him.
Noknoi Ayutthaya never wanted the pressure of being the lead in a drama. His agent has given him an opportunity he can't in good conscience refuse when his family is in debt and his sister's school payment is due. He doesn't expect to get the part, but he's going to give it his best shot.
Falling in love was not part of Rose's life script, but with Nok he can't help himself. Will they be able to succeed in the Thai Y-series industry while keeping their love a secret? Because the industry might accept same-sex romance in drama, but in real life it could destroy careers… and lives.
