Seokjin is on his last day of recording for the drama. He was all ready and was waiting for the crew to be done with the set-up. Shortly after, he was being accompanied by Taehyung who came out from the dressing room.
"Seokjin-ah, shall we practice on our last scene? Like how we intend to kiss and figure out what would be the best angle for them to capture?"
Seokjin was a bit hesitant. He does shoot kissing scene before, but he was just an extra so the camera did not really pay attention to him. However he have seen in set how the camera director had to take on different takes for the kissing scene.
"Sure. You can give me the direction."
"Lets practice the exact scene then? Come closer. I need you to tilt your head a bit more Seokjin-ah."
Taehyung has been falling hard for Seokjin during the period of recording for the drama. Seokjin was all he could think about on daily basis, and he have grown closer as they spend time together on regular basis. At times with the other staffs, but there are also time when it was just the two of them. He has been subtly hinting Seokjin of his feeling, yet none was reciprocated. At times Taehyung wondered if Seokjin actually got the hint?
Taehyung gently pulls Seokjin closer. Using his deep voice, he gives direction for Seokjin to lean closer and tilt his head to certain angle, while holding his hand. This was the first time, he was up close with Seokjin with no camera around them. He slowly lets go of his hand from Seokjin, and gently stroke Seokjin's feature. His heart is racing as he observe Seokjin's features from his eye brows, to his eye lashes and his plump lips. Taehyung, under the pretense of practice, close in and kiss Seokjin.
Seokjin was taken aback, he thought Taehyung was supposed to just give him direction. Was this how other actors practice beforehand? He didn't return the kiss at first, but after hearing Taehyung's direction, he returns the kiss as per how passionate the script seek them to be.
"Fuck. Seokjinah, that was fucking intense" He leans at Seokjin's shoulder after their make-out.
"I take that as a good take? So we can reenact the exact scene later?"
"Hmm.. We can make it better Seokjin-ah."
"How so?"
"I'll take lead later. I just need you to loosen and trust your flow. Will you?"
"I'm not that good with impromptu though."
"Trust me. You don't even need to worry."
The shooting for the kiss scene ended well, with everyone complimenting how great they both are as on-screen couple. And with that it marks the end of the drama.
Seokjin feels bad for using Jungkook to replicate such scene. When Taehyung close in to kiss him, he couldn't even react. There was no emotions, nothing, till he starts to close his eyes and imagine of Jungkook and it was only then he was able to successfully complete the kiss. Thankfully, Taehyung offered to practice first else he would cause a delay in the shooting. Gosh, he becoming a pervert at this rate. Maybe he should take on his brother's advice to work on his non-existent lovelife as what he always says.
Since the start of the drama, Jungkook has been watching diligently,not just the episodes but all the promotional activities and behind the scenes. He was impressed with the way Seokjin carries the character, he finds himself attached to the character. If Seokjin laugh, he laughs and if Seokjin cries, he cries too. He have to give it to his friend too for writing a good storyline.
He was in hotel room alone when he watch the last episode on his personal laptop. Every scene was beautiful, and while he got to admit there was an ounce of envy, he take it this was them upholding their professionalism. He then proceed to click the bonus clips of the behind the scene - titled exploding chemistry even off camera.
"hmm... it was never me... the kiss has been for Tae all along..." and closed his laptop.
