The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era

ASTRID read the message on his Terminal – [I'm in front of the cafe.]

He looked back just in time to see a young man walking inside. He was tall and slim with light silvery blue hair and skin as pale as snow.

"Here!" he called.

Snow turned towards where the voice was coming from. But the moment he did, his brows furrowed a bit. Because the first person he saw was a guy with curly red hair and a face smattered with freckles. It took him a while to recognize who the other was. Actually, if not for the person sitting opposite the other, Snow might still not have realized the other's identity.

He walked towards the table and said to Astrid as he sat down beside the other, "That's one heck of a disguise."

Astrid only grinned. "I know, right?"

Snow then nodded to Reas as a greeting. The other also did the same.

"By the way, is it okay for me to be here?" Snow asked Astrid.

"Why wouldn't it be okay? I invited you, so, of course, it is," Astrid said, confused as to why Snow would even think that.

In fact, he also wanted to invite Kiran. But the other was busy with composing songs. From what he heard, Kiran had been staying at Polaris' recording studio every weekend to finish the songs that the company had commissioned him.

Although Kiran didn't have an exclusive contract with Polaris, the company still provided him with everything that he needed. That's why he was even more enthusiastic to do his job properly. He even limited the sessions he played at the piano lounge so he could have more time composing.

Truth be told, Kiran no longer needed to do that part-time job with the commission fee that Polaris had paid him. But since he felt indebted to the owner of the piano lounge, he never thought of resigning. That's one of Kiran's good points, in Astrid's opinion.

"By the way, how was filming?" Astrid asked Snow, changing the topic. "The episode you will appear in will air tomorrow night, right?"

"It was fun. Everyone was so nice and helpful. The experience made me realize just how much I love acting."

Snow was positively glowing as he said that. It was obvious how happy he was. Anyone could see that he had a very good experience while doing his first filming.

Astrid inwardly felt relieved. Such a shooting environment was pretty much rare. He was just glad that Snow didn't have to encounter bad things during his first filming. That's something that could easily be a traumatic event for a newbie actor.

At the same time, he also secretly felt bad. It was because the news about the Thornleys would break out tonight. That would certainly overshadowed any other news that would be released during the weekends. So, there's a high chance that Snow's first appearance on a series would not receive the hype it should.

Although Astrid wanted to at least warn the other about that, it's not his place to do it. After all, Ellis shared to him the things that Olivia told her with the confidence that he wouldn't go around blabbing about it to other people. Of course, Reas was an exemption.

Not that he didn't trust Snow. It's just that, he found it vulgar to air other people's dirty laundry when he wasn't even remotely part of the said 'laundry'. Ellis telling him about Olivia and the Thornleys was just something that was unavoidable because Olivia used him so she could contact Ellis again.

His agent probably felt guilty that he got involved, no matter how small the involvement was. She most likely thought that it was her incompetence that led them to such a situation.

So again, it's not his place to go around telling people about it.

Besides, he was confident that even if the episode where Snow appeared did not trend on [Cyberspace], many people would still notice him. And that's what's more important.

"I'm glad," he said as a response to what Snow just said. "This is finally the official start for you."

"Yes. I will try to work even harder from now on," Snow said with determination. "By the way, are we still waiting for someone?"

He asked that because Astrid and his brother still hadn't ordered anything even though he had already arrived. It was safe to assume that they were still waiting for someone.

At first, he thought it was Kiran. But after hearing what Astrid said next, he felt all the blood in his body froze because of the shock.

"Yes, it's Reas' friend and roommate, Ash."

As if on cue, the person that Astrid just mentioned walked  into the cafe.

Reas was the first one to see Ash the moment the other walked inside. Ash also saw him just as quickly. The weird thing was, the other suddenly stopped. He had an expression full of disbelief on his face. His eyes was like silently telling him 'how can you do this?'.

Reas subconsciously shook his head. Just by the Ash's expression, he could tell that the other was thinking of some nonsensical things again.

"What's wrong, Reas?" Astrid asked, who noticed Reas looking somewhere.

"Ash is here."

At Reas' answer, Astrid noticed how Snow visibly flinched. He tilted his head in confusion. He couldn't think of a possible reason why Snow would have such a reaction. Before he could further think of the reason, Ash appeared beside their table and suddenly dragged Reas a few distance away.

"What are you doing?" Reas asked in annoyance.

"You, you're not setting me up in a blind date, right?" Ash asked in a low voice that only the two of then could hear.

A question mark almost appeared on Reas' face when he heard such a stupid question. It took a few seconds for him to realize what the hell Ash meant by that.

As expected, this guy was indeed thinking nonsensical things again.

"One of those two people is my brother," he said in an equally low voice. Then, he added in a menacing tone, "Then, who do you think you're going on a blind date with?"
