BXBX NOVEL Chapter 278 A VERY CUTE AND DEDICATED FAN
Chapter 278 A VERY CUTE AND DEDICATED FAN
ASTRID was busy replying to Lauren, Kiran, and Snow. All of them were congratulating him for the 100th episode of [Blind Justice]. After a round of saying ‘thank you’, he turned to his brother.”What do you think?” he asked, referring to his performance in the episode they just watched.
Reas raised one of his brows at him. “Are you fishing for compliments?”
Astrid shrugged with a smile. “Maybe?”
Reas smiled. “You already know you did good. But if you really want my compliment, then here it is.” He looked straight at Astrid for dramatic effect. “You’re amazing.”
Astrid grinned. “Thank you, little brother.”
Reas suddenly had black lines on his face when Astrid referred to him as the ‘little brother’. But since this was his brother’s day, he would let it slide. For now.
”No need for thanks. You know it’s true.”
”You’re making my head swell with all the compliments,” Astrid said, jokingly tapping Reas’ shoulder. “By the way, you haven’t forgotten our appointment tomorrow, right?”
”How could I when you kept reminding me for the past week?” Reas said.
”I’m just worried you’ll bail out on me. Lauren will be there after all,” Astrid said with a teasing tone.
Reas rolled his eyes. “You make it sound like I’m scared of Lauren or something. He and I, we’re cool now. We’re… friends.”
Now that’s a surprise for Astrid. “When did this happen?”
”When he visited here last time,” Reas said. “We talked and came to an understanding.”
Astrid smiled. He wanted to tease the other about it but stopped himself. If he did that, the relationship between the two might get awkward again. Since they had already came to this point even without his help, it would probably be better to leave the two on their own. Maybe one day the two would just tell him that they were together.
”That’s good,” he only said. “You’re quite close to your roommate, right? Why don’t you invite him tomorrow? It’s a night for friends. The more, the merrier.”
Reas’ brows furrowed a bit when he heard that. Thinking of Ash, he could already imagine how chaotic it would be if the other was there. But he didn’t refuse Astrid’s suggestion. Although Ash seemed like he was always high on caffeine, he’s pretty okay.
Before, he was actually worried that Ash might get infatuated with his brother once he met Astrid. But after knowing that the other actually had a childhood sweetheart, he was no longer that worried. Especially after Ash found that article about Astrid and didn’t really have any strong reaction about it. Except probably surprise at the fact that Reas and Astrid were twins.
”I’ll message him now,” he said.
Astrid nodded and watched his brother busied himself with his Terminal. Since the other was busy, he also opened his Terminal and signed to his [Cyberspace] account. He was quite surprised to see that his followers had increased exponentially. It’s now at about 700,000. He didn’t expect that just one episode and his followers would increase by almost 300,000.
He then looked at the trending topics and saw that #BlindJustice100Episode was now on the top 20 hot trending hour list. No wonder his followers increased as much. He clicked the hashtag and read the comments.
Most of it were positive. A lot of it were praising his good acting and wishing that there would be another episode with him in it. They were hoping that he would have a recurring role in the show.
The contract that he signed for the episode actually didn’t mention any recurring role. But the way the episode ended, it really seemed like his character, ‘Noa’, would appear again. No, Noa not appearing again could actually cause dissatisfaction to the audience of the show.
Well, he’s sure that Ellis could deal with that. If he was called for another episode, then she could arrange it.
As Astrid was reading the comments, a particular post caught his eye. It was made by ‘White Wolf’. Reading it, he couldn’t stop the corner of his lips from rising. Probably because he knew who ‘White Wolf’ really was. Just imagining Wulfric writing this post, the smile on his face became even brighter.
He read the comments below the post and he was amused seeing how the people were humoring him and responding to him like a friend. Then, he saw some comments asking Wulfric about a ship name for Astrid and Jordan.
He only found out then that people were actually shipping him with Jordan or more accurately, their characters, Remi and Noa. When he read Wulfric’s respond to that, he couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
He resisted the urge to like the comment and even to respond. Wulfric could be really adorable sometimes.
Since Astrid couldn’t directly interact with the other’s comment, he thought of sending Wulfric a message. But before he could do that, a message notification appeared on his Terminal. When he saw that it was from Wulfric, he quickly opened and read it.
[Wulf: I watched that web drama you just appeared in. You were amazing! I’m sure after this, no one will dare doubt your talent. I really enjoyed your performance. Though I do think you’re more suited to be the main character. That’s how much you shine.]
Astrid smiled. Who would have thought this guy could actually write such thoughtful words? He certainly wouldn’t think of it when he met the other a few months back.
He replied;
[Thank you, Wulf. I’m glad you liked it. Your words made me happy.]
Then he added a moving emoji of a cat with flowers popping around it.
He hadn’t waited for the other to reply when he heard his brother say;
”You’ve been laughing and smiling since a few minutes back. What kind of interesting thing have you been reading?”
Reas was truly startled when Astrid suddenly laughed earlier. When he glanced at the other, he knew that his brother must be reading something on his Terminal.
Astrid turned to Reas and smiled. “It’s a post from my number one fan.” His gaze softened unknowingly. “A very cute and dedicated fan.”
