The director considered that Orion was still a young child, so they kept the game simple.When it began, there was an issue with the number of participants. One of the guests had an early flight the next morning, so they needed someone to fill in on the spot.The director scanned the room and decided to have Nina join the game. This would not only help Orion feel less nervous but also make the segment more engaging for the audience.The order of turns was determined by drawing lots. Orion and Nina were the last group. The previous three groups had performed well, with one group guessing four correct answers out of five, and the other two guessing three. When it was Orion and Nina’s turn, Orion drew while Nina guessed. The clue was the phrase “Piece of Cake.” The room filled with whispers as people wondered how Orion would represent the idiom.Orion quickly drew a slice of cake on a plate, adding a fork next to it. Nina squinted at the drawing, thinking hard. “Is it… birthday cake?” she asked hesitantly.The other groups chuckled and shook their heads. The director, worried someone might give away the answer, warned, “No hints, or your team loses a point!” Everyone groaned, but the room fell silent again.Orion, determined to help his mom out, added a thumbs-up next to the cake. “Mom, it’s something easy. When things are simple, they’re like this.”Nina’s face lit up, “Piece of Cake! Is that it?””Correct!” the host announced, giving them a point.With that first success, Nina and Orion became more in sync for the remaining clues. They successfully guessed all five. However, the director realized they still didn’t have enough material.

The director saw an opportunity to stir up more drama by playing up the dynamic between Nina and Orion.He pulled Nina aside and shared his idea. “I’m thinking of positioning you as a struggling mom trying to make ends meet while your little boy works hard in showbiz. Viewers love relatable stories, and our ratings would skyrocket.”Nina frowned. “Director, I’m not a struggling mom, and Orion isn’t some worker bee. He’s in entertainment because he enjoys it, not because we need him to be.”Not wanting to play into that narrative, Nina firmly rejected the idea.The director’s expression darkened, but before he could respond, his phone rang. After taking the call, he returned with a stern expression.With the time approaching for dinner, he signaled for the crew to start the next game, leaving the participants to play freely without any planned stunts.Nina assumed he had dropped the idea and didn’t think much more of it.The game began, and the bottle spun toward Orion first. The group erupted into cheers and asked Orion, “If your parents got divorced, who would you choose to live with?”Nina’s expression hardened. “I’m not letting my child answer that question. Orion’s dad and I aren’t getting divorced. Please don’t put these thoughts in his head.””It’s just a game,” one of the guests chimed in. “No need to be so tense, Nina. Don’t you want to know who he likes more?”Others jumped in, encouraging Nina to relax and let Orion answer.Orion, with a smile, held Nina’s hand and answered calmly, “I would choose Mom because she’s very gentle, and I love living with her. But I know that no matter who I pick, both my parents would make the same choice as me. That’s because they won’t ever get divorced. They love each other very much, and they love me, too.”Orion’s heartfelt words brought tears to Nina’s eyes. She had worried that the question might confuse him. However, he understood more than she had realized and was willing to play along to keep the mood light.
