The Number One Star in the Interstellar Era [BL]

LAUREN was having a relaxing bath when the news of him being nominated for Silver Moon Awards was released. Since he didn't have the habit of bringing his Terminal to the bathroom, he had no idea about this. Right now, he was still lounging in his bathtub, drinking wine.

After an exhausting day, indulging in a long bath was truly the best. Lauren could feel the tiredness in his muscles slowly melting away. He wanted to thank whoever invented the therapeutic salt bath. Compared to ordinary salt baths, it had more benefits, and the effect was also a hundred times better.

He put down the glass of wine on the side, leaned back, and closed his eyes. He had been so busy at the start of this year that he hardly had any break.

After entering the top 50 of the [Star List], a lot of offers came and his agent accepted all of it. He knew that the other did that so he could easily retain his current rank. After all, the easiest way to do it was to stay relevant. None of the offers were also bad, so he didn't make a fuss about it. But that didn't mean it wasn't exhausting.

He was so busy, he barely had time to go out and have fun. The only time he did was when Astrid invited him for a little celebration dinner at his apartment building. And that's just for a few hours!

He couldn't even have a proper talk with Reas.

No- wait, that's not really the point.

Was it? - heart.

Of course, you stupid heart! - brain.

Lauren shook his head. Why was he making up conversation between his organs? DId he have too much wine?

He decided to finish his bath and quickly go to sleep. He's obviously too tired to think cohesively. It's better to just rest.

So, after a few more minutes of soaking, he stood up and had himself dried. Wearing a soft bathrobe, he walked out of the bathroom. The first thing he noticed when he did was the notification of his Terminal going off.

His brows furrowed. Did something happen? Was someone sent to the hospital or something? Thinking so, he quickly picked up his Terminal and saw the dozens of messages flashing on the virtual screen.

But for some reason, her gaze immediately zeroed in on Reas' name that was on the very bottom. Before his brain could think further, his hand had already moved and clicked on the name. Then Reas' message appeared on the screen.

[Congratulations on being nominated! I don't really know much about things like this, but this must be something big, right? Aster is also nominated in another category. Wishing hard for the both of you to win. Congrats again!]

Lauren was momentarily confused by all the information in that message. Nominated? In what, exactly? And Astrid was also nominated in another category?

It didn't take long for him to realize the possible answer to that. But to make sure, he quickly opened Chris' message, or rather, messages.

[Lauren, you did it! You're nominated for the best supporting category at Silver Moon Awards!]

[Why aren't you replying? I've been calling you. Are you still taking a bath?]

[Lauren, once you read my message, call me immediately.]

Lauren's head was blank for a second. A nomination at the Silver Moon Awards? And for the best supporting actor category? He was astonished at first. But that didn't last long because excitement quickly replaced it.

He had been told by his agent that he was shortlisted for the best supporting actor. But he didn't really expect too much from it. After all, only five people could be nominated, and there were probably 10 or more other movies which had been as successful in the box office as [The Sleeping God]. But who would have thought he would be one of those five?

Anyway, this was the first time he was nominated for an acting award in one of the three major film awards. Although he had been nominated and also won some awards before. But all of those were from minor award-giving bodies.

He's definitely not downplaying all those awards he had won. He's thankful for each and every one of them. He's just simply pointing out that being nominated and winning at one of the three major film awards was of a different magnitude.

Even if the Silver Moon Awards was the least focused on acting among the three major film awards, winning there would still be a great boost for one's career. Not to mention, a validation for one's own effort.

After calming down a bit, he decided to call Chris to get more details. But before he could, someone called him first. The moment he saw who it was, he forgot that he was about to call Chris and just found himself answering the call first.

Then a man with ice blue hair and teal-gray eyes appeared on his virtual screen.

"Lauren, congrats--"

Reas was about to congratulate Lauren when he noticed that the other was wearing a bathrobe. Although Lauren was fully covered, he somehow felt awkward all of a sudden. Similar to the feeling of seeing something he shouldn't have seen. Which was very stupid. Because there's absolutely nothing in front of him that should make him feel embarrassed. And yet, here he was.

Blushing over a bathrobe.

He averted his gaze and cleared his throat. "Congratulations on being nominated."

Because of too much excitement and happiness, Lauren didn't notice anything weird and just grinned. "Thank you. Ah, right, you said Aster is also nominated, right? I just came out of the bath, so I haven't really read any posts or articles yet. But was it for rookie of the year?"

Reas, who tried to get his mind out of the gutter at the mention of 'bath', nodded with a serious expression.

Once again, Lauren didn't notice anything and just said, "Our pairing must have been really well received if both of us were nominated."

"It's not just because of that," Reas said indignantly, as if he didn't agree. "It's because both of you did a great job in your roles."
