"So, it's time for a Soulmate Update! Singto will share his weekly progress of his quest to find his soulmate. If you are interested, then please check out our website at wakeupbangkok.com." Krist announces gleefully into the microphone with a smile so big that you can count all his teeth.

Singto rolls his eyes and shakes his head. His temper has simmered down since his furious complaint yesterday in Tay's office ending with Fiat apologizing profusely and Krist promising to screen candidates more seriously. However, Singto doesn't believe Krist, not even one bit. He just needs to survive the rest of these dates without killing anyone or pulling his hair out. But don't worry. Payback is a bitch! Singto knows how to play games too.

"So Singto, how did your first date go? Care to share some highlights with our listeners? Was she pretty? Did she meet your standards?"

"Yes, she was very pretty. However, the date itself was interesting, to say the least. My date happens to be a psychic by profession. So needless to say she knew everything that was going to happen that night. It begs me to ask the question why did she bother to go on that date with me in the first place. It honestly ended quite poorly."

"So sorry to hear that. Tell us some of the things that made the date so bad." Krist will not let Singto get away so easily.

Singto grits his teeth and flares his nostrils seeing that smirk on Krist's face. Oh, how he wishes to slap that smirk off right now.

"An interesting thing was my food was served almost immediately upon my arrival at the restaurant. My date took the liberty to order for me without me ever seeing the menu. She said she knew that that was what I was going to order because she's a psychic. I can't help but imagine a future with her would mean I would no longer need to make any more of my own choices in life." Singto plays along and chuckles a bit. No matter how fucked up the date was, he didn't want to air it on the radio. He doesn't want his date to hear him say how creeped out he was by her.

"So your date was nice enough to order for you but you already equate that to no freedom of choice in the future. Aren't you being too presumptuous?"

If Singto's eyes can shoot bullets, then Krist would definitely be a dead man already. "Maybe. But I also want to live my life filled with surprises. I don't want to know who's going to die next or how they will die."

"What do you mean? Can you elaborate for us?" Krist presses on. He wants to see if Singto will tell the listeners that he had water thrown in his face.

"Let's just say my date predicted someone's imminent future in front of me. And I'm not comfortable with that knowledge."

"Do you mean death? Did your psychic date predict someone's death?"

"Yes. She did and it freaked me out."

"Then what happened? Did she tell the guy? Did you tell the guy?" Krist asks with great interest.

Singto glares at Krist. He never mentioned that it was a guy that was predicted to die. No, not even when he was raging in front of Tay and Fiat. It can only mean that Krist saw what happened. Ugh! He wants to strangle that pretty face and wipe that smugness off.

"No, she didn't. She said it's his fate but I couldn't sit there and do nothing about it, so I went to tell the guy. But the guy didn't believe me and got very upset. I mean, why would he believe a stranger saying such an outrageous thing? I probably wouldn't either. But I'm still glad I did it. At least I did what I felt was right and if by any chance it made a difference then it was worth it. I ended the date right after that. I wish candidate number one the best of luck finding the right one. Thank you for your time." Singto tries to remain calm while he's boiling inside.

Krist for once is impressed with Singto. The man was able to tell the story without mentioning the humiliation and still end it with kind wishes. He's Charming Singto alright. Pfff.

"Yes, good luck on both of your endeavors. May your next date be the right one." Krist can see Singto clenching his pencil so hard that it can break any moment.

"Hello Alexa, you usually call a lot earlier. I'm glad you can still join us. So, what was the strangest date you've been on? Was it anything as bizarre as mine?" Singto chuckles.

Caller 19: Hi Singto, hi Krist! I'm sorry I woke up late this morning and I had to wash my hair.

"Thanks for still calling. The day wouldn't be the same without you." Krist says excitedly. Alexa is his number one fan after all.

Caller 19: I'm glad I made it before the show ended. Anyway, this happened a long time ago before I met my soulmate. I had a date with this girl who refused to leave the restaurant after dinner because it was raining. I offered to walk her to a taxi and even give her my umbrella. But she still wouldn't leave. She said she's really a mermaid and her tail would show if water got on her feet. Pfff.

"Oh my God! That's gold! Then what did you do, Alexa?" Krist asks excitedly. Who knew Singto's stupid date could lead to such a funny topic? The phones have been going crazy. Some people seriously called in with some of the most ridiculous or freakish stories he has ever heard. And Krist thought he's heard it all before.

Caller 19: Well, I couldn't wait all night with the nutcase. So I excused myself to the bathroom and ditched her.

"So you missed out on a chance to see her tail?" Singto laughs wholeheartedly. Alexa is always fun to talk to.

Caller 19: Let's just say she's no Ariel or Jun Ji-hyun. And I had an early flight the next day. So I didn't have time for that.

"Hahaha...Thank you for sharing Alexa. We hope to talk to you again tomorrow. That's a wrap for us today. We leave you with 'You're So beautiful - พีรวัส แสงโพธิรัตน์ x Stokes.' Have a beautiful day." Krist switches off the microphone and turns to meet Singto's murderous eyes. So the storm is not over yet.

(Music video at top.👆🏼)

"You were there, weren't you?" Singto asks with his nostrils flaring.

Krist crosses his arms and leans back in his chair. He doesn't see what's the big deal here. So what if he was there? The date would have turned out the same anyway.

"Yeah, so? We went to make sure everything went well. It was only for the first date. We have no plans to go for your following dates."

"Who is 'we' you're talking about?" Singto turns his head to see Fiat giving him a little wave with a guilty smile that looks more like he's about to cry.

"Look, we really didn't know the date was going to turn out like that. When we saw her profile, we just thought she looked hot. And the whole psychic thing, we thought was kind of cute. We thought she would read your palm or something like that. Who knew she would tell you someone's going to die? We didn't know. Anyway, you did great today by turning your experience into an awesome topic. It's totally paying off." Krist says with a smirk and looks outside the studio room.

Singto follows Krist's line of sight and of course, Tay is standing there giving his thumbs up again. Singto swears he is going to make Krist pay for his misery.

Candidate #2
Name: Kya
Age: 23
Occupation: President of KAFC

Singto waits inside a Starbucks downstairs of the GMM Grammy building. He met his date Kya for all of three minutes before she disappeared without a trace. All the ice in her drink has completely melted at this point. Singto checks his watch for the nth time. It's been almost three hours since his date has gone missing. He would really like to leave but his date left him in charge of her belongings. Singto thought about leaving her things with the Starbucks staff but he doesn't know if there's anything valuable inside her backpack. His sense of responsibility won't allow him to just leave. He is bored out of his mind and he knows some people are secretly taking pictures of him. He can tell by the way they aim their phones at him and then the giggles that ensue afterward.

Singto isn't exactly an on-screen celebrity, so he doesn't know if people can actually recognize him or not. Sure he has modeled here and there but it's nothing of significance to warrant any attention. At least he doesn't think so. And of all places, the GMM Grammy building would definitely have bigger fish to fry than him. There are so many actors and actresses that come in and out of this place.

Finishing his second iced Americano he is seriously ready to call it quits. He's starving since this was supposed to be a lunch date and he needs to use the bathroom soon. He doesn't know how much longer he can hold it in.

"Hey! You're still here." Kya rushes to their table looking a bit disheveled and out of breath. "This is mine, right?" She grabs the melted iced matcha latte and takes a big sip as she plops down in the armchair next to Singto.

"Uh, now that you're back, I will take my leave then." Singto is beyond annoyed and is ready to leave.

"Oh, please don't go. I really didn't mean for this to happen today. It was completely last minute." Kya tries to explain.

"What's last minute? You knew about our date since last week, right?" Singto frowns hearing the impossibility of their date being last minute because he's been dreading it all week. But that would explain why the girl looks so unorganized and all over the place. Her two braids look like they've been yanked and are about to fall apart. And he has never gone out on a date with anyone in denim jumpers and flip-flops no matter how casual the setting is. It's one thing to feel comfortable with your significant other, but it's another if it's your first date. Call him old school but it's a matter of respect to put in some effort for a date.

"Kongpob and Arthit announced a last-minute fan gathering on the other side of the building. So as the President of KongArt Fan Club I have to get the latest scoop and see my idols." Kya says this dreamily staring off into the distance and clutching her phone closely against her chest. "They're so handsome and in love."

Sighing a content sigh with a smile on her face, Kya turns to look at a newly vacated seat. She shrugs her shoulder and switches on her phone to quickly tweet all the amazing pictures she took of KA. Her own love life can wait but KA and her fan club can't.

AN: Sweets, how many more dates do you think Singto can suffer? 😈 I've got all sorts of interesting people he can date. Muahahahah 😆

But can you blame Kya? 😍

Curtsy,
Lana ❤️
