Off Camera

Chapter 28

Tee POV

I stumble back into the studio building.

My mind is still trying to wrap around and register exactly what Jane has said.

I don't want to admit she is right, but can people around us really know without us saying anything? No. It isn't possible.

Kimmon's words come floating back to me, too. He has implied the same thing, but what are the odds they both say the same thing? No. It can't be possible. Right?

"Tee! Where have you been? It is time for your scene! Get into place!" The director waves at me from the other side of the set.

I raise my hand. "Sorry."

My mind is still a mess, but I pull my thoughts together and remember what scene we are doing next. I shake my head and put on my professional mask, stepping into character.

Jane and Kimmon's words eat away at me, but I push it off to the side for now.

I have a job to do first.

I take a deep breath and silently run through the lines in my head.

"Places everyone!"

I scurry across the set to my place and get in my spot.

Regardless of what I do, though, I can't stop the uneasy feeling from creeping over me. Do people here know without Tae and me saying anything?

I swallow down the lump in my throat.

I have to believe they can't.

"Tee! Pay attention!"

My head jolts up as my eyes lock with the director's angry gaze. "Tee! Get your head out of the clouds!"

I press my lips together and frantically nod my head while I mentally kick myself in the butt for letting this situation distract me.

"Get in place!"

I jump slightly and do exactly what the script says I should be doing.

The director narrows his eyes at me, but luckily, he doesn't say anything else to me. What is he thinking?

***

I run through the building to Tae's apartment. We didn't have any time to talk at the studio, but with the recent revelations, I didn't want to talk there, anyway.

There might be too many ease dropping on us, if Kimmon and Jane are right.

My heart pounds against my chest as my feet move as fast as they can. I need to talk to Tae right away.

I don't bother knocking when I get to his door. Using my code, I march right into the apartment like I own it.

"Tae! I need to talk to you! Are you here?"

The lights are on, but the apartment is silent. Where is he?

I rush farther in and look into the kitchen, but he isn't there. I dart into his bedroom and then to the bathroom. Before I can step into the bathroom, steam comes flowing out and pools around me, while the sound of running water fills the air.

I stop in my tracks, knowing exactly what will happen if I walk into the small, steamy room. My cock twitches at the idea of enjoying some time scrubbing Tae's firm body, but another part of me needs to get the answers to the burning questions at the back of my mind. The same questions which have kept causing me trouble today with filming. I have never had to record scenes as many times as I did today.
