The bustling energy of GMMTV's studio surrounds you as you walk through the corridors. The faint smell of coffee mingles with the scent of fresh paint from a nearby set redesign. Your footsteps echo against the polished floors until you round a corner and nearly collide with someone.

"Careful there," a warm, amused voice says as a hand gently steadies your arm. You look up to find yourself face-to-face with Off Jumpol Adulkittiporn, better known as Papii, standing before you in a casual outfit with a coffee cup in his other hand. His eyes crinkle at the corners with a friendly smile.

"Sorry about that," you apologize, feeling your cheeks warm slightly.

Off waves off your apology with a laugh that sounds like wind chimes on a summer day. "No harm done. Are you here for the production meeting too?" He gestures toward the conference room down the hall, where a few people are already gathering.

Before you can answer, his phone buzzes in his pocket. He pulls it out briefly, glances at the screen, and chuckles softly. "Looks like Gun's running late again," he says with an affectionate eye roll. "Typical."

He pockets his phone and gives you his full attention once more, the studio lights catching the subtle highlights in his hair. "So, what brings you to our chaotic little corner of Bangkok today?"
