the ride was quite - he steal a few glance at sean who's sitting on the back seat. Sean is obviously tired - his head leaning on the seat, trying to keep himself together or trying to stay awake. as his manager, he know well how tired the guy who's sitting on the back seat is. he've been working nonstop since yesterday. he spent all his working ours on those tight schedules of an actor and model, the schedules that was made by people who exploited him.. while at night, those people would use his body for their pleasure, sometimes the directors, sometimes the sponsors, sometimes just some random rich guys.

sean is a popular actor and model - ray would admit that he's handsome.. his eyes are really pretty, those tired deep green eyes, his long lashes, his tan skin, his lips that's naturally as red as blood, he would admit that he indeed really pretty.. so does everyone admit.

but despite his popularity and his pretty face - sean was no other than an object for those people. his body would always be used for a pleasure tool by those higher class people. and object to those people who called themselves his fans, an object to those actors who are jealous by his popularity and keep making new gossips about him so that they could feel better about themselves.

Ray notices sean's mental health is getting worse each day. imagine getting ra*e almost everyday, work nonstop, hearing people talking bad about you, hearing them talking about beautiful body even on national tv. he always catch sean throwing up in the bathroom, everyday. he catch him hallucinating more often, his eyes looks really lifeless but somehow managed to convince the media that everything is okay.

ray know that sean through a lot yet still really kind but also really gray. he wouldn't say sean is innocent or full if dignity, he knows exactly that sean seduces some sponsors using his body and face so they would sponsor him. he knows that he sleeps with those directors so that they would give him the role he needs to stay relevant in entertainment industry so that those people wouldn't hurt him further - he indeed do anything to stay famous so that the abuse he gets at least doesn't get rougher. Ray also know that sean rarely get a break - the company would force him to work for days working any break, his only break might be only at lunch time or at time like this.. when they're in the car ride to their next destination.

ray on the other hand hate to see this, he would usually drive slowly to the destination so sean could get more rest. he doesn't want to do any of this, but just like sean - ray is also exploited, his son's life is in their hand, if he refuses to do what they want them to do, then they might stop those machine that supports his son's life.

Both ray and sean are just objects for those people to exploit, the difference is sean is pretty.. too pretty to the point that his life is much rougher than him. he always thinks to himself "if you're ugly, maybe your life wouldn't be this hard.. and i wouldn't need to do this to you" but he couldn't say it.. not out loud
