“Ahhhh, girls.... I’m free!!!!”Yong screamed with joy, his voice echoing as he grinned from ear to ear.
Heraised a glass filled with chrysanthemum-colored alcohol, celebrating thefreedom he had been dreaming of for so long.Yong came from a traditional Chinese family that expected him to getmarried and have children.
They arranged a marriage for him with someonehe had only met once, and the wedding was rushed and completed withinjust one month. Even he, the groom, knew nothing about it. His familydidn’t even know he was gay.But now, it was over. The wedding had collapsed. He had been scolded untilhis ears hurt, but none of that mattered anymore—because he was finallyfree..
“Freedom at last. Now transfer my money. I did my job. And you’d bettermake a public statement too. Your flings are probably confused right now,”Thitinan said, glancing at her gay friend before changing clothes again. Thisjob had not been easy—pretending to be pregnant and ruining her ownfriend’s wedding.The hardest part was making the fake belly look real, Thitinan and Kirinspent almost two hours preparing it.
“I’ll definitely pay you. Honestly, it’s lucky I have a friend like you whocan take jobs like this. Hiring you to act as my fake wife—my parents evenSun Yanwanted to meet you. But I lied and told them you were too heartbroken andran off, and I couldn’t contact you."
Yong said, pouting as he remembered calling her his wife. Just the thoughtof it gave him chills, and he shook his head quickly to get rid of the strangefeeling.
“True, but I’m more shocked you dared to hire me. Aren’t you afraid yourfamily will find out? We were all university friends, after all. They mightrecognize me—we even took photos together before.”
“No, I’m not worried. I never introduced you guys to my family anyway.And I never posted pictures with you on Instagram. But seriously, youracting was amazing. So realistic. Should I give you an Oscar?”
Yong teased, giving her a big thumbs-up in admiration.The person being praised only shrugged slightly before picking up amakeup brush and dusting her cheeks again.
"......"
“But you’ve been taking so many jobs lately. Aren’t you tired?”
“Not really. The pay is great, and there’s almost no competition. Whethersomeone hires me to pretend to be their girlfriend or to break up a couple, Ido everything. The money’s good.”
Thitinan replied, talking about her line of work. She took jobs being acompanion, going out with clients, acting as someone’s fake lover, or evenhelping break up relationships. The price depended on how difficult andrisky the job was.
“By the way, next semester we need to apply for internships. Have you guysgotten yours yet? Nan, where will you intern? At your bar? You can’t dothat—there’s no way the university will approve it,”
Yong asked Thitinan and Kirin. They were all in their fourth and final yearof university and needed to secure internships.Sun YanYong himself would likely end up working at his family’s business, sincethey would want to keep an eye on him. Kirin would probably go to hisfather’s company. That left only Thitinan, who still looked uncertain andhadn’t submitted any internship documents yet.
“Yeah, yeah, I’ll find a place soon. Anyway, I’m leaving now. Thanks forhelping me get dressed, Rin. I have to go to the bar later tonight.”

Thitinan said, slinging a small bag over her shoulder before walking out ofthe city-center condo. The three of them came from very differentbackgrounds, but they had become friends by chance when they were put inthe same group activity in their first year of university, and they had stayedclose ever since.Thitinan picked up her phone and checked her messages. One female clienthad texted her, asking her to flirt with her boyfriend and lure him to a hotel.Thitinan smirked—she had done this kind of job more times than she couldcount.
“Hm… so today’s job is to flirt with her boyfriend and take pictures whenwe go into a hotel? Probably another divorce case.”...“What is going on, Chat?”
Chawi asked as she entered her daughter’s room after seeing the guests out.The moment she stepped inside, her foot hit an expensive bottle of skincarecream lying on the floor. The room was a mess, things scatteredeverywhere, thrown in anger.There was no doubt who caused the mess, because the person responsiblewas still standing in the middle of the room, breathing heavily among thebroken items.Sun Yan
“I was just letting out my anger.”
Theerachat said, brushing her messy hair back from her face. Her breathingwas fast as she looked around the room.She didn’t care how expensive the shattered vase was or how costly theskincare bottles lying on the floor might be. She just needed to vent heremotions, and she used whatever was around her to do it.“Please calm down first, P’Chat.
”Theerachat's younger sister Chomchat said gently, pulling her sister—stillin her wedding gown—down onto the sofa. Theerachat then sharply turnedher eyes toward their mother, Chawi.
“Mom... Didn’t you say you found the perfect match? I haven’t even talkedto you properly about how you suddenly forced me to marry someone Ibarely know.”
Theerachat said bitterly. Their families knew each other well, and theparents had agreed to the marriage. But who could have imagined that herwedding would fall apart so horribly?A pregnant woman had shown up out of nowhere, claiming the groom washer husband, and ruined everything.
“I did ask, and they confirmed their son was single.”
Before agreeing to the wedding, Chawi had already investigated everythingand was told he had no partner. She felt just as humiliated — reporters andguests would gossip about this for a long time. Who knew how long itwould take until people forgot?
“And where do you think you’re going, Chat?”Chawi asked when she suddenly saw her daughter stand up abruptly and ripoff parts of her wedding dress, leaving only the short skirt and strapless top.
“I’m going out. I won’t be back for a while. I’ll stay at the condo.”
Theerachat hadn’t even gone online yet since the groom’s family had left.She had no idea how far the news had spread or what people were saying.And the more she thought about that woman’s face, the angrier she became.She remembered it clearly...
“Hello, Ai. Where are you? Are you with Jao-kha? Come hang out withme.”
Theerachat said angrily into the phone before slowly driving her eyecatching red luxury car out of what she called her home, located in a largeneighborhood in the middle of the city.[We were actually looking for you! You disappeared from the wedding sosuddenly. I’m at Jao-kha’s house right now. If you want to drink, we can go.But tonight we were planning to go to a lesbian bar. Wanna try somethingnew? Maybe you’ll start liking women after all.]
“You know I don’t like women. But fine, I’ll go. I just need a place to drink.Send me the location—I'll meet you there.”
.As soon as she hung up, the red luxury car accelerated into the crowded citystreets, heading toward her destination for the night...
“Nong Nan, take these drinks to the VIP room. Be careful—tonight’s guestis a Super VIP. Make sure to give excellent service,”
Namphueng reminded her junior. This bar was known for its tiered servicestandards: regular customers received normal service, while VIP guestsSun Yanreceived extra attention—along with high tips to match the amount theyspent..Knock... Knock..
.“Excuse me.”
Thitinan said softly as she entered the VIP room, carrying a tray of drinks.She didn’t look up, afraid the guests might complain if she made eyecontact. The room was full of conversation, but she ignored it and focusedon her job.Thitinan carefully placed the expensive wine bottle and tall glasses on thetable.
“Chat, I brought you here to relax. Stop sitting there sulking. Why don’tyou call someone over to sit with you?”
Ai said, annoyed that her friend’s gloomy mood was ruining the fun.
“How can I not be annoyed? My wedding was ruined! I want to curse bothof them. You— pour me some wine.”
Theerachat sat with her legs crossed and arms folded, staring at the waitressin a tight outfit. But then she froze, her hand stopping halfway to the wineglass that was being handed to her, letting her clearly see the waitress’sface.
“You!!”
Crash!!
