Chapter 39: Couple FayeYoko
When The Journey aired to episode 3, Faye and Yoko's lives began to be significantly disrupted, because the series was very famous and loved. Views on online sites began to increase by millions and increased rapidly. Faye Peraya was already famous before, so now, like adding an eye to the dragon, she became more widely known and loved.
Yoko Apasra is like a breath of fresh air, a child actress who was not successful when she grew up, now she has risen to fame again, and is followed by many fans. Unlike Faye who belongs to the old generation, Yoko belongs to the newest generation, so the way she interacts with fans makes fans love her very much. The two of them seem to have a large number of fans of the same generation as themselves, not leaving out any age group, Faye is mature and charming, Yoko is sweet and youthful.
Not to mention, because the Tripartite Agreement also focuses on the couple segment, the two of them have also harvested for themselves a whole fandom supporting the Girl Love couple. The images of the two of them hanging out together and interacting in the past were also dug up and analyzed. From the beginning, Faye and Yoko were chosen, trained, their emotions and ways of interacting were all for this couple fan segment. The two of them are almost 95% compatible according to Danny's latest report.
Along with the show, interviews and rewatches of both episodes, workshops also started to be shown on various platforms. Fans had many sources to follow, not just waiting for one episode a week. Some fans were astute enough to speculate that the two were in an ambiguous relationship and that Yoko was the one who liked them first. Some were even more talented, calculating from which day to which day Yoko Apasra was at Faye Peraya's house.
It's true that blindfolds can't hide the eyes of saints. There were many articles that analyzed the situation between the two of them so accurately that even Yoko was shocked. Yoko took pictures of those articles and sent them to Faye to see, which also startled Faye.
Lots of creative and funny content, many times Yoko read it and laughed out loud.
There are a number of interesting provisions in the tripartite agreement, which go like this:
'In the event that both actors develop genuine feelings:
The agreement requires that unless the decision is made to get married or circumstances arise that necessitate marriage (?).
Whatever the relationship between the two people, they must deny the relationship in public.
Both actors are required to remain single at all times and for the duration of the agreement.'
The agreement requires the two to do quite 16+ things to attract couple fans, but when working with the public, they completely prevent petty love affairs from affecting the film.
So, Faye and Yoko have to stay single in the eyes of their fans, whether they want to or not.
Part 1 of Journey will have 6 episodes. When the show aired episode 4, Ninestar announced that on the weekend of episode 5, the whole crew will attend a fan meeting event abroad. The country they will visit is a highly developed country located in the north.
A few days before leaving for the country, Faye and Yoko had a rare day off. Yoko chose to rest, while Faye gathered with friends. Unlike the usual gatherings at bars, this time Faye and her friends met at a karaoke bar. It was said to be a normal VVIP room, but in fact Nam booked the largest room in the building, which had a live band and a pool table. The movie Journey was very popular, so Nam was also smart and chose this place to avoid unnecessary trouble.
This meeting also had Dr. Tan attending, and surprisingly, Tan also brought Thien along. No one knew what the relationship between the two was, but no matter how Nam and her friends teased Dr. Tan, she didn't say a word. Thien sat there, still very naturally chatting and getting to know everyone.
While everyone was singing and drinking heavily, Nam and Faye stood by the pool table, playing pool, drinking and chatting.
Nam held her cue stick, took a sip of her martini: "How are you and her doing lately?"
Faye heard but did not reply immediately. She bent down and hit a ball into the hole, then picked up her glass of wine:
"It's still normal, but Yoko doesn't care about me like before." There was a hint of disappointment in Faye's voice that even she didn't realize.
Nam heard that and laughed: "What do you want her to be like? It would be great if Yoko wasn't too disappointed and completely disappeared from your life."
Hearing that, Faye lost focus and missed the next shot. She decided not to hit anymore and went to sit on the chair closest to the billiard table. Seeing that, Nam also put down her cue and came to sit near Faye.
"Can we just stay together peacefully, without talking about disappearing or changing?" Faye frowned. What she disliked the most was the concept of disappearing from each other's lives completely.
Can't we just be friends?
Nam smiled, when she was still in school, there were many people who pursued Faye, and countless people who rejected her. Those people, after being rejected, often disappeared or turned around to hate Faye, making Faye very sad. One of her fears was that someone she was very close to suddenly stopped being together. Contrary to her cold appearance, Faye was very sensitive in relationships.
"I'm sure she still cares about you." Nam stopped joking and had to comfort Faye. God knows how many times she had to comfort her friend about this problem.
"..." Faye sighed silently, finished her glass, and went to pour herself another glass of whiskey.
Nam couldn't stand this scene anymore, so he took out her phone and dialed a number:
"Hello, Yoko?...How are you?"
"Yoko?" Faye heard and jumped up, turning to look at Nam.
Smiling triumphantly, Nam continued talking on the phone: "... Yeah, we're having a party today. But Faye's too drunk, and we're getting ready to go to the second round, so I think Faye will take a taxi home by herself..."
Faye jumped over and wanted to snatch Nam's phone. What are you talking about? She's resting.
But Nam stood up straight and turned her back, not letting Faye achieve her goal.
"Haha... we are at the address...., that's right... goodbye." Hanging up, Nam turned to look at Faye and smiled happily.
Faye shook her head in disagreement: "It shouldn't be like that, it's almost Yoko's bedtime."
"Just try it once. If she cares about you, she will come, if not, then forget it, what are you worried about." Untying the rope requires someone to tie it, so Nam dared to take such a risk. These two people really needed something to push them.
Thien sat nearby, watching the two people chatting back and forth, raising her eyebrows in thought.
This time, Nam guessed correctly, Yoko was of course very concerned about Faye. Even though deep down she knew that nothing would happen, Faye was an adult, and often went out at night like that. But there was still 1% of thought in her, saying what if something happened to her? So even though she was already in bed, getting ready to sleep, she still got up and went to the location Nam had texted.
Yoko had thought of many scenarios when she met Faye at this moment, but she never dreamed that when she arrived and opened the door, Faye was completely awake and laughing happily, one hand holding a glass of wine and the other with her arm around a beautiful strange girl. Seeing that Faye was still talking to that girl and still hadn't noticed her presence, Yoko really wanted to quietly close the door and leave.
"Yoko! Come in." But Nam was more observant, she smiled and walked closer to pull her in. "Faye will be very happy if you come."
Yoko walked in, glanced at Faye who was sitting hugging Doctor Tan's neck, then saw Thien sitting there. Quite surprised, but she still smiled naturally and greeted everyone.
As soon as Faye saw Yoko, she immediately let go of Tan. She stood up and intended to hold Yoko's hand so that she could sit next to her. But Yoko was one step faster. She dodged and walked over to sit next to Thien. Faye's arm stopped in mid-air.
'What's going on?' This was everyone's thought when they saw this scene.
Blame it on the last time Yoko met Dr. Tan, because of the medicine she was given, she slept very soundly, this was the first time Yoko met Tan. And meeting her in a situation where Faye was hugging Tan like that, it was really a challenge for the little girl. So Yoko decided to ignore Faye and sit right next to Thien.
Doctor Tan turned to look at Thien, her eyes wondering, Thien shrugged and took a sip of beer, not saying anything more. Then she raised her eyebrows and looked at Yoko, Thien had only followed Doctor Tan here because she was bored, she didn't expect there to be something interesting to watch like this. Having known Yoko for many years, not to mention anything else, but when it comes to being secretly stubborn, no one can compare to this young lady. If it weren't for her personality, Yoko wouldn't have run away to live abroad for a few years when she was just in high school.
Faye paused, then slowly sat down. Faye also stopped hugging Tan and just stared at Yoko. On the other side, Yoko was smiling and talking to Thien.
Realizing that the situation was not good, Nam stood up and introduced: "Yoko, let me introduce you, this is my friend Doctor Tan. And this is Tan's friend Thien."
"Thien, you've probably never met Yoko before, right? Yoko is Faye's co-star."
"It's okay, Nam. Thien and I are very familiar with each other." Yoko put her arm around Thien and smiled happily.
Faye frowned: "..."
Thanks to Nam's introduction, Yoko already knew who Tan was, she turned to politely greet Tan. Even so, she was still angry at that person, from beginning to end she didn't even look at Faye.
Being ignored by her little girl, Faye fell silent. But she didn't say anything and took a bottle of hot German beer and handed it to her partner.
Tan and Thien sat between Faye and Yoko, both feeling more excited than pressured, they were eager to watch the show. Nam and her friends sitting nearby were the same, happily watching Faye and Yoko's family get along with each other. It turned out that these friends had very similar personalities, seeing something funny, they would gossip and not worry about the house burning down or anything.
"Thank you, won't drink beer this time, I'll drink wine with everyone." Yoko refused the beer Faye offered. She looked straight into Faye's eyes and smiled, then took a shot of tequila from the tray and drank it all. She reacted so quickly that Faye didn't have time to stop her.
Yoko's behavior was completely beyond everyone's understanding. To avoid an awkward atmosphere or ruin the fun, Yoko stood up, smiling and talking happily, and offered drinks to everyone at the table. It was as if there was an introvert and extrovert mode button inside her, and she was currently in the highest extrovert mode.
Yoko talked to everyone except Faye.
Even Tan and Yoko turned to chat and when she knew for sure that Tan was the one who examined her, Yoko thanked Tan a lot. The party atmosphere became hot again because of Yoko's cuteness and cheerfulness, everyone laughed and continued singing karaoke.
Not knowing if it was intentional or not, she turned to talk to Thien by whispering into each other's ears. Outsiders would definitely think the two were whispering about something, making Thien laugh.
"Are you using me as a target to provoke someone like that?" Thien cooperated with her, whispering into her ear just enough for the two of them to hear.
Yoko leaned over and clinked her wine glass with Thien's: "Who told you to come here?" The little girl was very familiar with Thien so she answered comfortably.
"I will charge a service fee." Thien jokes, very cooperatively touching her shoulder.
"Okay, just send me the bill." Yoko deliberately stroked her hair and rested her chin on her hand looking at Thien, she also laughed and joked.
Doctor Tan sat next to her, listening to what these two were saying, and couldn't help but laugh and shake her head. She met Thien when she was injured while chasing criminals. She thought this boring person only knew about cases and the money she earned, but she didn't expect that Thien also had moments of joking around like this.
"What is that look?"
Nam and Faye returned to the pool table. But Faye didn't focus on playing and kept looking over to the side of the chair. Nam smiled and reminded her.
"What look?" Faye denied, looking away from Yoko and Thien.
"How many drinks has Yoko had?" Nam asked suddenly.
Faye reflexively replied, "Five glasses." She drinks too much this time.
And yet Faye said she didn't look, she looked so closely that she could count how many glasses Yoko drank. Nam shook her head, deciding to ignore Faye. She had already called her here, so how to deal with it would be up to those two to handle it themselves.
When Yoko was about to drink her sixth glass, Faye couldn't take it anymore. Faye came over and sat next to her, took the glass of wine and drank it all. Yoko was already a little drunk. Seeing Faye like that, she didn't say anything but reached out to get another glass.
Faye firmly hugged Yoko's waist, pulled her into her arms, and didn't let her get more wine.
"Don't drink anymore, you're drunk."
Yoko was silent, glancing at Faye, she didn't know what she was angry about. Faye was always like that, cheerful and close to everyone. Yoko just felt very unhappy, the words were stuck in her throat, making her not want to say a word to Faye.
"Yoko, come up and sing a song for fun?" Nam went up to the stage, laughing and calling Yoko to come up and sing.
Hearing that, it was not convenient to refuse, Yoko immediately left Faye's arms, she stepped up to the stage, smiled at Nam and took the mic. Thinking for a moment, Yoko turned back to look at the orchestra and announced the song she wanted to sing.
Yoko was so drunk that her cheeks were red. With her introverted personality, she would never take the initiative to sing at parties like this. She stood on the podium, her eyes glanced at Faye's face, then slightly lowered her head, holding the mic in her hand, Yoko sang quietly.
"Only one word that I have been waiting for a long time
I want to ask but I don't dare to ask even once
A heart that I have to give you like this
And do you have the same feeling for me
The time when we're together..."
Yoko's voice was always beautiful, clear and soft. But the song's lyrics took everyone by surprise. Faye stared at Yoko, her eyes worried, her hands clenched.
"... Or is it just me who has feelings for you?
So i want to know
Have you ever loved me?
When the two of us are closed every day
What does that pair of eyes mean?
Don't let it be like this
Please tell me if you have the same feeling
If you love each other, please tell me to be sure
I feel good but I have a heart too
Do you know who is waiting for you?
That word which I never give up
Just this is enough, please tell me to be sure
Or is it just me who has feelings for you?
So i want to know
Have you ever loved me..."
The song wasn't over yet, but Yoko stopped singing here, she couldn't continue singing. The lyrics stuck in her heart, making her heart ache. Yoko've tried to forget it all this time, but still can't ignore it. Just seeing Faye hugging someone else, immediately brought back the feeling of heartache in her.
'Have you ever loved me?'
There were many eyes on her, but Yoko only looked straight into Faye's eyes.
"I didn't sing very well tonight, I'll make it up next time. It's late, I'll take my leave first, goodbye everyone."
Even though Yoko was so heartbroken that she couldn't sing anymore and her voice was hoarse, Yoko remained polite until the last minute. She said goodbye to everyone and left the room. A quiet atmosphere filled the air.
"You really didn't chase after her?" A friend reminded Faye, but saw Faye jump up and run outside.
Just out of the hallway, Faye quickly saw Yoko, she ran over and grabbed her hand.
"Let me take you home."
"No, I can go home by myself." Hiding her red eyes, Yoko refused Faye for the first time.
Faye sighed and said impatiently, "You're drunk, don't be so childish."
Yoko paused, raised her face and looked straight into Faye's eyes. Only then did Faye realize Yoko was crying. Her eyes were red and there was a hint of disappointment:
"I am childish? What about you? Always treating me so well, making me misunderstand that I am special. Why do you always protect me, then push me away?" Yoko struggled out of Faye's arms, said all the thoughts that hurt her, then turned and left.
This time, Faye couldn't keep Yoko.
