Being nominated for the Best Male Lead Award was already an approbation of Bryan's acting skills, considering that it was his first time acting. Bryan attempted to maintain the smile on his face in order to hide the sadness in his heart. After all, he had prepared everything including a love confession.

"Next, let's take a look at the screen," the host piped up while everyone was comforting Bryan.

"What? There's more?"

"Does that mean there are two winners for the Best Male Lead Award?"

The crowd plunged into a gush upon hearing the host's sudden announcement, which had ignited the hope amongst the outstanding nominees.

Bryan stared at the monitor in confusion as well. He was now even more nervous than he was earlier. Do I still have a chance?

Holding her trophy, Jennifer earnestly prayed for him. She hoped that he would win the best actor award this time.

In order to create an atmosphere of anticipation, it took longer than earlier for the screen to reveal the identity of the winner. Bryan's hands were trembling as time was ticking. He was so nervous to the point that he decided to just close his eyes and not look at the screen.

"Ah! Ah!" Thunderous shrieks could be heard from the surroundings the moment the identity of the winner was being displayed on the screen. Jennifer's voice was the loudest amongst them.

"Bryan! Bryan!" She swayed his arm nonstop and kept calling his name vehemently. It was not until then did he open his eyes to see his name and picture on the huge screen.

"I-It's really me," Bryan exclaimed from the bottom of his heart. At that moment, his lips were half-parted and he did not know how to react to the situation at all.

"Bryan, you're the best!" Both Vania and Hanson were applauding for him.

"Congratulations to the rookie actor, Bryan, for winning the best actor award. Let us welcome him on stage," the host read according to the script.

The background music resounded. When the host called Bryan for the third time, Bryan finally came back to his senses and quickly marched toward the stage. Only God knew how nerve-wracking it was to walk up to the stage. No words could describe how jubilant he was right now.
