29 REASON

The assistant director was unconcerned, leaving Kane behind, and pulled the investors to present the other cast and escort them around the island.

"Kane! What are you doing here?!" Surprised and delightness was shown in her expression as she ran in Kane's direction and gave him a bear hug, she didn't stay long enough for him to return the embrace. "Oh, sorry, hehe, I guess I was too excited to see you. What's up?" She asked in a shy manner and scratched her temple.

Kane quickly studied the Yanarym's entirety. Her hair was a little messy, even though she was smiling, there were still traces of tiredness in her eyes. She was wearing a casual loose long sleeve and pajamas as if she was just asleep.

"Are you interested in filming? Why did you invest in the movie?" Seeing that he wasn't responding her smile stiffened, as Kane notices her awkwardness he steps closer to her and holds her hand.

"Because of you." With no hesitation, he told her his true intention, "Because I miss you, I want to see you and I want to ask you. Are you together with the actor Alvan Villalias?" He heard her laugh softly at his reasons. His lips parted, beckoning to ask more questions, he had a lot of them on his way to her but now that she's in front of him, he's lost at words.

Something heavy on his heart was uplifted hearing her laugh and seeing her happy. However, the heaviest stone that weighed him down didn't fade yet. That specific night, when he asked her to have dinner together there was an emergency patient who entered the ER who needed to be given immediate aid. Coincidentally he was the only one available so he was the one who performed the operation. Despite his best efforts, it took him nine hours on the operating table to stabilize the patient.

Even though it was wishful thinking, he still hoped that Yanarym would wait for him but he only got a letter on a piece of paper. It was five o'clock in the morning, she was up to three in the morning, she waited for him. If he had finished a little later, he would have caught up with her but the opportunity was lost.

At first, he thought he had only a short-term interest in her. Until he just found himself searching for her on the internet. It is true when she said, she was not that exposed to the industry. Dramas, movies, and TV shows she barely had lines in any of those. Yet, Kane still watched it one by one, seeing her acting on the screen, made him feel a sense of pride. He was proud of every scene where she was featured, even if the show was popular or not. While he was busy collecting files and records related to her, he saw that she had a product promotion of a popular cell phone brand. When he saw her solo shot came out he put it on a picture frame.

It's like he's back at being a teenager and became Yanarym's stalker on social media. His co-workers think that he turned into a fanboy because his office is full of posters of her. Kane started supporting every project of Yanarym but he noticed that every project of hers had to do with actor Alvan Villalias.

Kane was well aware that show business was scandalous and brash, that it was erratic, and that part of it was frivolous. Yanarym, on the other hand, was never embroiled in a controversy with anyone during her long career in the profession. Except this recent turmoil partaking within the industry and fandom of the well-known actor, Alvan. She became inclined to each of his projects, assignments, and endorsements.

He was intrigued, so Kane conducted some research and discovered in a forum, the fans' intrinsic theory about their relationship, and he couldn't help but feel uneasy after reading all of their assumptions. Then, he thought about what she said when she confessed to him ... She has no intention of having a relationship, and Kane believes what Yanarym said. So, he decided to forget the issue, thinking that it would be like a normal scandal in the entertainment industry that would disappear over time.

However, what happened a month later was the polar opposite of what he had anticipated. The two's loveteam was made public when the agency posted photos, news announcements of them appearing in a popular novel that will be adapted by the two of them as the leading roles. Many people believe in the chemistry of the two, some reviews stated that they suited the personality of the characters in the book, it's like they were match-made in heaven to play the roles. The love team fandom of the two exploded from all over the world, and if ever the two actors decided to be together the feedback was positive.

He expected his feelings to fade without his awareness, but that was not the case. Day by day, it was growing, his admiration for her was deepening that it was no longer a simple crush. It is to the point that his previous unwavering response to gossip in social media changed, and he became an insomniac to the thought that she might have fallen in love with the successful actor and overcame him.

He called her agency several times to talk to her but they said that he needs to make an appointment to do that. When he asked for her number, they said it was against the company's policy. Finally, he went to visit her but she was already on the island where she had to shoot the rest of the movie scenes.

His support for Yanarym escalated where he had opened an account on the bank solely for her. He wasn't low on funds, therefore he didn't have to worry about spending millions only to see her.
