Behind the Curtain [P.JM 21+]

chapter 3

[Months Later]

~Y/n's POV~

Well...after the first audition, Jimin and I became really close. He's like my guy friend. We had callback a few weeks after that, and there were potential male leads, Jimin was one of them. I was lowkey nervous because...let me be honest, the real reason I even wanted to play the female lead was just to be close to him 🌝. Okay yes, the college thing was a valid reason too BUTTTTT...

In the end, Jimin got the role. Some people claimed it was because of nepotism, which is kinda true since his mom was working on set. His university wasn't far from my school, so he always hung out in the afternoon to practice our lines. We would go on "dates," as my friends called it. I mean, it's not like I made out with him or anything?! I would never 🙄...unless he gave me a chance 😩.

It has been over 4 months since we met, and he was more like a brother figure...well, he acted like a brother figure. I just hope he's not brother-zoning me though. He would always give me school advice, applying to universities, and even do my homework for me when I say I can't hang out with him because I have work. I met some of his friends before, they were like him, shy and introverted. Ellie said one of them was hot, uhhh 👩🏻‍🦯.

Last month, I finally applied to some universities and asked Mr. Lee to write a letter confirming that I was going to act in his new movie. My friends' plan worked wonderfully. I got accepted to all the colleges I applied to...except one. But it didn't matter. Here's the irony...the university that I accepted was only 15 miles away from Jimin's...and they were rivals. We just thought it was funny. He was happy for me that I got into my dream college, but the way he was congratulating me made me feel upset. It was more brother-like. Maybe I'm just overthinking as Jade claimed?

On some weeks, we would have to go practice some scenes or get our measurements for the outfits. I didn't really need my parents' consent for this, yet, I still told them about it and allowed them to read the contract. My dad was cool with it until he found out I would have s.εﾒ scenes. He almost died. My mom had to calm him down, and reassure him that the s.εﾒ scene would only be showing the silhouette. I swear, my dad is thinking I'm going to film porn. The news about my acting shit quickly spread around our school.

Some kids made fun of me for it, but the majority of them were nice to me. I honestly don't think much will change after this movie is released. Maybe a bit of publicity for a few months? People would probably forget about me anyways. I just wanted to do this for the experience...and Jimin.

I memorized all my lines and actions in each scene, yet, I never practiced the kissing scene before. Jimin and I just skipped those scenes since I was...SCARED AS FUCK. Summer break is almost coming up, and that's when we will start filming. I was more concerned about my feelings towards Jimin than the actual pressure of being casted in a movie. I had a crush on him the moment I saw him...but he always treats me like a little sister. Our relationship was never flirtatious or anything, he was like a mentor to me.

"Now, we're all prepared right?" He glanced at me, I nodded.

"Yup, I think we've rehearsed the entire script 50 times already." I chuckled.

It was like any other day, Jimin and I were hanging out again after practicing. We went out to dinner and now we were watching the sunset on a bridge.

"Wait, we forgot a few scenes." He blurts, I raised my eyebrow.

Please don't bring up the kissing or intimate scenes. Please. Please. Please. Please. Well, I didn't want to do those scenes because I would fall even more in love with this dumbass...and I'm not even sure if he feels the same.

"Uhh what?" I pretended to be confused.

"The kissing scenes." Jimin reminded, I almost jumped OFF the bridge.

"Are you nervous?" He teased me. Yeah, no shit.

"Ummm, umm, so like...fuck, let's just get it over with." I burst.

I'm going to college in a few months and I haven't had my first kiss yet. And I would have to kiss Jimin on set anyways.

"Huh?" He uttered, I was probably bright red by now.

"I haven't really had my first kiss yet...because I always wanted to have it with my future boyfriend but then, I never got one," I confessed, his facial expression was a mix of everything.

"So can we just get this over with?" I added, he shook his head.

"No Y/n, I think you should actually have your first kiss with someone you have feelings for. It'll be more special to you." Jimin refused to just help me.

"But I like you," I admitted.

You know, I should've just told him this AFTER we finished filming the movie since now it's going to be so awkward. Omg, this is embarrassing. Or I should've just never told him and wait for the stupid feelings to fade away.

"I like you too." Jimin uttered.

Okay, so like, when's the wedding 🙄?! leaned closer to him and pressed my lips on his. I wrapped my arms around his shoulders, deepening the kiss.

One of his hands was on my waist while the other caressed my cheek. This was something I'd always imagined when I thought about having my first kiss. Cliché, yet so sweet. We pulled away after a while, we locked eyes, his hand still caressing my face.

"Be my girlfriend?" He softly asked, I nodded and bonded our lips.

This felt so dreamy, almost like a dream...
