Third Person POV

Plan's phone was ringing nonstop but he had no time to stop to answer the calls. Judging from the ringtones the calls were coming from his manager and from Perth and from the other co-actors of Love By Chance the series.

He was super late to the fan meet event and he tried to keep within the city's speed limit but was sorely tempted to drive just a little bit beyond it.

He glanced anxiously at his watch and knew beyond doubt that if he did not accelerate his speed he would not get to the fan meet on time.

Keeping his fingers tightly crossed, he went beyond the speed limit, expecting any minute to be flagged down by a traffic violation officer.

Thankfully he reached the building without getting stopped by any traffic officer and rushed inside the room where his manager grabbed him and pushed him towards the staff who helped him get changed inside a cubicle after which the staff started to work on his make up.

Mean approached him just as the staff was putting the finishing touches on his face.

"Tsk, tsk," said Mean, "you naughty boy, why were you so late? You couldn't get away fast enough from your secret date?"

Plan just glared at him. He couldn't say a word because the staff was dabbing off the extra lipstick from his mouth.

Finally, all the actors were given the cue to start going up the stage.

They were met with thunderous applause and shrieks and fans screaming out their names.

They did all the usual activities to please their fans, singing and dancing and interacting with some lucky fans who were called to go on stage. They also showed favorite clips from the drama which earned more shrieking from the delighted fans.

Finally after more than an hour, the emcee was ready to call on each actor to give a brief thank you and appreciation speech.

Before the emcee could do so, he was approached by one of the senior staff and the emcee looked around looking a little confused.

Before the emcee could say a word, the senior staff was leading one of Thailand's well known actor and model onto the stage.

Plan's eyes grew wide in astonishment. His P'Chao's appearance on this event had not been mentioned at all by their manager. He noticed the look of surprise on the other co-actors as well.

Was this meant to be a surprise both for them and for the fans?

He saw the senior staff handing a piece of paper to the emcee and another staff had quickly placed a chair in the middle of the stage and motioned for Chao to sit on it.

Chao glanced at Plan and gave him a smile. Plan shyly smiled back. Mean did not look happy at all.

Then the emcee started reading from the piece of paper that the senior staff had given her.

"Ladies and gentlemen," she announced, "we have a very special surprise guest who will be interacting with your actors on stage. I'm sure you all know him already because he is our very famous actor and model, Mr. Chao Ittikorn (A/N: this is just a made up name as I don't know the full name of this actor/model. I only know his first name).

January 6, 2025 Addendum to A/N: at the time of writing of this fan fic author did not know the real name of P'Chao. Research indicates his real name is Chao Chavalit Chattanant.

Plan and the other actors were not aware of the fact that Chao had made a request to the moderators of the fan meet to give him a chance to meet Plan and greet him. Since Chao was one of the benefactors of this show, the moderators had to quickly think up of some activity that would involve him and Plan. The moderators were fully aware that Chao had a special interest in Plan.

Then they remembered that one of the sponsors of the fan meet was the manufacturer of the hair mousse and moisturizer, Barber's Choice (A/N: this is just a made up name, this product name doesn't exist).

Once again, the senior staff approached the emcee with a piece of paper to read from.

"And now," she said, "we will be asking Plan to try out this most wonderful and popular men's styling product, Barber's Choice, on our special guest, Mr. Chao Chattanant!"

Everyone in the audience and all the actors on stage applauded heartily except Mean. The camera man caught him making a face.
