Fate

Chapter 157

Mina's P.O.V.
Boy did I miss filming! It was also very different from any other set I had been on, and much.. Much more chaotic.  "Stop messing with Sunoo hyung's hair! I know he's adorable, but we don't want to lose more time than we have already!"  Jungwon was so done with them and honestly, I was too. His eyes met mine and it made him join me. "Sunbaenim, do you have a trick to make them stop?"

Me? Stop them? I can barely stop my own boyfriend from doing dumb stuff.  "I typically give the want to feel my wrath? stare. It works with my dance dongsaengs all the time."

He turned to them, stretching in their outfits, doing touch-ups. The ladies were chatting and snickering, but they were doing what they were supposed to do. We were only scheduled for 3 hours, the girls and I. They'd do the duets and the parts we were in first to do their parts without us for the rest of the day. We were invited to watch, but I'd rather not do overtime. "Is that the result of the stare or are they just that sweet?"

I smiled. "You've seen practice, Jungwon. You tell me."

His lips curved into a mischievous grin.  "They're quite the chatters, aren't they?" Another question.  "What does your scary glare look like?"

"Oh. I can't fake that. You'll have to actually witness it." As a matter of fact, it wouldn't take too long.

Jake and Jay were, as they usually did, arguing about who did what better than the other. "No! I can do this move nicer. See? I should be the one they zoom in on, not you."

Jake argued back. "I'm twice better! What do you mean? My facial expressions are way nicer anyway!"
It really wasn't the time.  "Noona sunbaenim, you tell him-"  Our eyes locked. He should know better than to try and drag me into their petty argument.  "I'll... Tell the guys to wrap things up, okay? Who cares who's better?"  He turned around and I still heard him.  "Jungwon #2."

"What did you say?" My tone wasn't even upset, it sounded annoyed though.

"Nothing!" Jake grabbed Jay to wrap up the guys.

Enhypen's leader seemed confused. "That's it? You looked unimpressed, but not about to burn the place."

"Have you seen me anything other than happy or neutral?" He hadn't. "That's what's worrisome. Like when you get upset with them. I just have the noona card and the fact I can speak about them to their sunbaes."

"Woah, that's great power." We both laughed at that. "Seems we'll be able to start filming, hopefully there won't be too many tangents."

There were, in fact, a few, but they didn't disturb the timeline of the day... For now.

It wasn't odd to dance so close to someone else for me. It made for great shots. Someone seemed worried for his sunbae. "You're sure it's fine?"

I pointed at the screen. "Look how nice the close-up is!"

"I'm not too in your space, am I?"

"Jake, we did like we practiced. It's perfect."

He nodded. "Good, good..." A pause. "RM sunbaenim won't beat me up for doing this? You're both sending a chill down my spine when you're angry, but he's.. very intimidating."

Kim Namjoon? That grown up child? I am too, not the point. But, him, intimidating? It's true that, if he's bitting his cheek, you're in trouble.. "I see your point, but he's already aware of this and he was fine. Unless I'm not okay with it, but it's all good."

The blank expression on his face. "So, if I followed your train of thought right, us working like this is not gonna be a problem unless I'm a d*ck?"

I laughed SO hard. "Oh jeez! My lungs hurt! But yes. Yes, you got that right. Between you and I, I've been closer with Moonbyul and Hwasa eonnis. Even closer with Namjoon."

That let his stress out in a chuckle. "We ALL know about that Montreal performance. RM and Mina sitting in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G." He put his index fingers together like a 5 years old. "It wasn't a quick one either."

What do you mean not quick? "Show me the clip. You must be joking."

There was another tangent! Sorry. My new friend pulled out his phone and showed me. "See? Lips touching while you're getting up from the drop. It's a decent 3 seconds! You've never seen it before?"

Jake was right. It wasn't just a peck. "Oh dear.. I only saw pictures of the after. I'm embarrassed." I seperated work and my relationship well, most of the time, but not this time. It showed, A LOT. My cheeks must be as red as fresh cherries! What in the world. "A-anyway. You get the point. He won't be mad." We managed to finish our part of filming just fine.

"Please! Mina noona, stay!"

Jake, come on. "I have letters to write and bridesmaids gifts to make for my clients... Is your part first?"

"No! That's why I thought we could chat. Please?"

How could I say no to that face? "30 minutes. Deal?"

"Deal!"

Namjoon's P.O.V.
"Kookie! Enhypen's new clip is out. Want to check it out?"

Boy, he ran out of the bathroom and jumped in the bed. "Is Min in it a lot?"

How the hell would I know? The chorus had the girls in it. She'd be there at least for a third of the song, unless the camera focus wasn't general. "I don't know! Sit your ass down properly and we'll see!"

It was a very dark setting. A forest for what I could see, until it zoomed into a castle. It faded to black and the song started. I was too focused on the video itself that I can't recall what the lyrics were about. What I could say was that it truly sounded like Bite Me's little brother. They were inside a majestic room. Wearing blood red satin shirts and black leather pants. Oh- Would I get Mina in leather pants again? I saw her in those once and she never wore them again. I think they gave her the ick somehow, but PLEASE be it.

Sadly disappointed, but happily surprised. They curled her hair! Half of the girls had a black long sleeve shirt under their midnight blue short dresses. All of them wore beige opaque tights. Knowing another dancer from previous work, it was obvious the shirts were to cover tattoos. Hybe, honestly. Doesn't matter. It looked good! My girlfriend and Jake's duo was great. I can't say I'd see her paired with anyone else for it. The guys did step up their game! The close ups weren't of blank expressions or trying to look mysterious and not quite hitting it. The choreography did go in a way I didn't expect. A mix of rumba and salsa, I was told by Minmin. I hadn't seen her dance in that style before. The steps were enchanting. The girls' black smokey eye makeup added to their character. We were lucky to see them at each chorus which was nice. I'd have to watch it again to understand the story of the music video... Maybe it was supposed to look like a cult? Probably? Probably.
