“Are you awake at last?”

“No! Let me go! Don’t hurt me! I’m harmless! As long as you let me go, I will never call the police! How much do you want…”

“Shut up.”

“I’m scared! I’m really scared! Why did I faint just now? You did it? I remember drinking bottled water from the gym- Oh my God? Did you handcuff me? What do you want? Do you want to act out Saw? Come on, no matter what your purpose is, I’m sure I can cooperate with the negotiation, really. Any relationship has to start with good communication. We can talk about it…”

“What do you want to talk about?”

“Do Grammy-winning works necessarily represent the best music? What do you think of artists with drug abuse in their backgrounds? What’s more, is it unfair there is no balance of ethnic minorities in Colleges and Universities? Have you heard about the shooting of ethnic minority teenagers by the police not long ago? Which side do you tend to believe in?”

“…Shut up!”

“No! No! You are a kidnapper. If you don’t want me to make a noise, you should cover my mouth. If you don’t, you want to talk to me, don’t you? By the way, who are you? I want to rule out the possibility of alien abduction first…”

“You don’t know me. But I know you.”

“Really, that’s great. I’m so famous? Yes, my kung fu pays off. Every day, I try my best to create more opportunities to go out. I especially like to go to supermarkets, gyms, pedestrian streets, cafes and so on. There must be a lot of people, and the light must be bright. Bars can’t do it. It’s too dark for others to see my face. No one has ever recognized me. I go to supermarkets and shopping malls because there are many women in these places. Oh, don’t get me wrong. I’m not one of those rash people. I don’t have any other intentions. I mean, going to places with a lot of women can increase my chances of being recognized, because I play soap operas broadcast in the daytime, and the audience is basically housewives.”

“……”

“Why don’t you talk? Don’t worry. I’m an actor, but I’m very approachable. In fact, I don’t have the capital to be ‘approachable.’ I know I’m not famous. Well, back to the subject, how did you recognize me? ‘Nanny Mary’ is only shown in the afternoon. I thought a young man like you wouldn’t like it. What do you think of Wade? That’s the one I play. To tell you secretly, I just finished a scene where he was beaten up by Mary’s brother. Later, he left Mary and fell in love with his ex-wife’s sister…”

“I don’t want to talk about your TV series.”

“What do you want to talk about? Well, in addition to ‘Nany Mary,’ sometimes I film some advertisements. Have you seen my advertisements? The latest is the intelligent outdoor barbecue and the dishwasher. These are not very impressive. Have you seen the underwear advertisement? You must have seen it. I can see it in your eyes! That’s my hottest set of photos, although the planner said that the emphasis must be on the feeling of healthy sunshine…”

“Why do you talk so much? As far as I know, people talk non-stop when they are very nervous, right?”

“I’m really nervous because you’re the first fan to recognize me! By the way, by the way, we… Where are we?”

“Where do you think?”

“It’s a nice bed. It’s big. I’d like to change it in the future. Well, the room is very luxurious. It seems that it cost a lot of money- wait! You’re not my fan! You were sent by the film crew to record a show? This must be some set…”

“Wrong guess.”

“That’s great. What I said just now is too stupid to be made public. So where is this? A love hotel?”

“No. Why did you guess a love hotel?”

“Because, my hands are handcuffed at the head of the bed, and it doesn’t hurt. Is there a cushion on the inside of them? This facility must be from a love hotel. Wait! I finally understand! You are really my fan! You- You’re a little overzealous. Why did you do that? I’m really a very approachable actor. If you ask me for a drink, I’m sure I can go with you. After all, you look very nice and handsome. At first glance, you are a well-educated type. Your clothes are expensive. I know this brand. So why did you kidnap me? I’m a little proud that you like me so much, but it’s not good to tie someone to the bed of a love hotel Do you really like me so much? Did you go to the set to spy on me? If you’ve been there, haven’t you thought about asking for a group photo or something?”

“…You’re a little different from what I thought.”

“What? I look thinner than Wade’s character? Yes, my sister said the same thing. It is said that everyone is different from his original appearance when he is on camera- I got it! This is not really a love hotel. The furniture and decoration of a love hotel are not this high-end. I guess you are a rich man. This place is a high-class suite of a hotel!”

“It’s not a hotel, it’s my house.”

“Your house! Yours! Sure enough, you can afford such expensive clothes! Let me confirm one thing. Are you a very rich investor or something?”

“You can say that. Why do you ask?”

“Haha, don’t pretend. I know you want to have sex with me, don’t you? Many actresses will encounter this kind of thing, and so will men. I am well-informed and will not make a fuss about it. You must want to say to me – ‘obey me, and then I will make your dream come true. I can give you everything you want. If you have to resist, I can also destroy you…’ right? How was my tone just now? Is it like that?”

“Like… what?”

“Like how you would say it.”

“Why should I say that?”

“You kidnaped a future star! It’s a bit arrogant to call yourself a star, I know, but that’s what it is for you. If you’re not a fan of my crazy pervert, why kidnap me to your house and put me in bed? I’m not prepared. It happened so fast… Are you going to rape me? Are you gay? Or bisexual? Or, you always only liked women, but you can’t help watching me? Can I ask you how you decided to kidnap me? It seems that you don’t want to answer. Your expression looks very painful and tangled. Then I’ll guess boldly that you are heterosexual, but you are fascinated by me. You love me so much that you decide to use your financial resources and power to kidnap and imprison me, let me do what you want, and have me completely…”

“I…”

“Is that right? Do you want to do this? Do you want to? Do you want to? Never mind. Be brave! Say it out loud!”

“Ah, stop!”

“Don’t yell all of a sudden Are you angry? You shouldn’t be angry. I’m honest? Can you tell me why you kidnapped me first? I want to know what my charm is in?”

“Does it make sense?”

“Yes. I really want to know. Come on.”

“I…. I’ve been watching you for a long time.”

“How long? Which ad did you start with?”

“No, since about the eleventh grade. You don’t remember me.”

“What? We’re schoolmates? That’s right. It’s so logical! At that time, I was a handsome man loved by everyone. Many boys were hostile to me. My playing skills were poor, but there were still girls chasing me. I had social intercourse every weekend. The music teacher at that time said that I might be an actor in the future She was right! Ah, I miss you so much. Although I’m not very famous now, one day Oh, I’m off the point. So, who are you? Sorry, I don’t remember…”

“You won’t remember. I was the least impressive person in our class. I was short and I didn’t have a good face. Few people remember me.”

“Wait, I seem to remember that you are… I’m sorry, I still don’t remember your name. Anyway, you’re the guy with glasses, a big forehead, who’s not good at anything but writing essays and performing PI at Christmas parties?”

“…That’s me.”

“My God! You look totally different! Now you are much more handsome and taller than before. Maybe it’s because I lie down and watch you. Did you have surgery for myopia? Now you don’t wear thick glasses, right? You know, when you take off your glasses, your eyes change a lot. You belong to this situation. I don’t mean how ugly you used to be, just… You’re getting better and better.”

“Thank you.”

“And are you rich now? Great. I knew you’d make it. Look, your house is much bigger than mine, and your clothes are more expensive than mine. I know that money is not the only criterion for judging the quality of life. There are many things besides money, such as beauty, love, Wellyn Cheese Restaurant…”

“That restaurant sucks.”

“It used to be bad, but now it’s different. Really, their food has been improved and they have free drinking time every day. You should abandon prejudice and try again. We’ll go together when we have time?”

“No, I’m not going.”

“Is it because you are so rich now that you don’t like it? Or something else? I remember it. Once a girl named Amy asked you out. She would wait for you in that restaurant. You didn’t succeed in the end, did you? Did she repent, or did you refuse her?”

“I didn’t go.”

“Why? Amy is as timid and shy as you are. She finally gets up the courage to ask you out, but you…”

“Why do you know that?”

“Because I encouraged her to chase you, I could see that she was paying attention to you.”

“I didn’t get with Amy.”

“Ah, why? Is it because… You like me? Really? Look at your expression! Really? It’s impossible! You didn’t say a word to me at that time! I say hello to anyone I see. You haven’t answered me once. I thought you hate me. A nerd like you usually resents a handsome student like me…”

“I’m not good at talking to people.”

“Don’t worry, I love talking to you, really. But I have a suggestion. Why don’t we do it in a different way?”

“How?”

“Look, now, you’ve bewitched me with drugs, handcuffed me to bed, and looked down at me Why don’t you say hello and kidnap me? At least let me take a bath and change my clothes. I can change into a more pure and innocent dress, like a suit and a tie… Instead of the sportswear now, it’s not romantic!”

“You want romance?”

“Of course, why not? Think about it. What happened just now? You show your feelings to me, you show that you like me, you want to do me, and even do not hesitate to kidnap me. What a strong, sudden, dramatic conflict of love ah, romantic death! Romance needs business. You’re not good at it, but I’m good at it. Now, we should do something right.”

“Like what?”

“For example, how much do you like me? Why do you like me? What’s the most handsome thing I’ve ever done? Have you seen my dramas? I can tell you which episodes I’m in. You may not like watching the Nanny Mary, but you can just watch me! Then, I can also tell you about my mental journey, my happiness and bitterness as an actor, my college life, my experience in filming… And what I think about you. You choose. What do you think? It’s hard to say. I need to organize my thoughts. First of all, every time I talk to you, you never answer, and even you just walk away. I think you must hate me I said that just now. I was disappointed, really-”

“Disappointed?”

“Mn. I tried to get close to you, but you seemed to hate me, so I gave up.”

“I never knew you thought that…”

“That’s why I encouraged Amy to ask you out. I thought it would make you happy. Obviously, I’m a fool. I should have asked you out myself, right?”

“This I was… It’s just…”

“Is there still time to make an appointment with you now?”

“What?”

“I’m serious. Let’s go to the Wellyn Cheese Restaurant. Believe me, it’s really better than it used to be. Remember, at that time, school couples often appeared together. Of course, I know you’re rich now, and you don’t like that kind of place. It doesn’t matter. After I have made an appointment with you, you can ask me to a better place next time.”

“You… It means… “

“Look at you. Now you look like a student. When I woke up just now, your eyes were terrible, and now they are much softer. “

“How?”

“Nothing specific, just a chat. Don’t you want to talk to me? By the way, let me ask you. My question is, how did you become rich? Do you want to try to be a couple with me, or do you want to keep me in custody? 

“I… I’d like to ask you! How did you become narcissistic and talkative?”

“I did the same thing back then, but you didn’t understand. You have never entered the circle around me, so of course, you don’t know me. Are you disappointed now?”

“I’m not disappointed…”

“Let’s get to know each other better and then make a decision. What do you think? Besides, don’t think I speak too much. Just listen carefully and you will find that my voice is very charming. That’s what the advertising director said, so he asked me to record the original sound directly I’m not narcissistic, I’m just describing myself objectively.”

“Whatever you want. You… What do you want me to do?”

“Untie the handcuffs, let’s get something to eat and then talk slowly – this will be our first date.”
