Takes And Heartaches | Sukuna x Reader |

Chapter 15

The film's production schedule had intensified, with the cast and crew moving from one location to another, capturing a variety of scenes. The hustle and bustle of filming had created an atmosphere of both excitement and exhaustion. For Y/N and Sukuna, the constant proximity and the emotional intensity of their roles had brought their complicated feelings to the forefront.

The latest location was a stylish rooftop bar, chosen for a pivotal scene in which Y/N's character was supposed to confront Sukuna's character about a betrayal. The scene required a significant amount of time and effort, as it involved elaborate lighting and numerous camera angles.

On this particular evening, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the city, Y/N found herself in a rare moment of downtime. The rooftop bar, with its sleek design and panoramic view of the city skyline, offered a brief respite from the relentless pace of the shoot.

Y/N was seated at a small table, sipping a glass of sparkling water. The scene they had just filmed had been emotionally draining, and she was enjoying the quiet moment of calm before the next round of filming. As she glanced around, her eyes were drawn to a familiar figure at the bar—Sukuna, who was deep in conversation with a woman she didn't recognize.

The woman, dressed in a chic, black dress, appeared to be quite animated, and Sukuna seemed to be engaged in the conversation, his usually guarded expression softening into a genuine smile. Y/N's initial reaction was one of curiosity, but as she continued to watch, a pang of jealousy began to twist in her chest.

She tried to dismiss the feeling, attributing it to the stress of the shoot and her own lingering emotions. But as the minutes passed and Sukuna's laughter carried over to her table, the jealousy grew stronger. She couldn't ignore the sense of unease that settled over her.

As the woman leaned in closer to Sukuna, their conversation becoming more intimate, Y/N's frustration reached a boiling point. She stood up abruptly, her chair scraping against the floor, and made her way toward the bar where Sukuna was seated.

"Hey, Sukuna," Y/N said, her voice edged with irritation as she approached the bar.

Sukuna turned, his smile faltering slightly when he saw her. "Y/N. What's up?"

The woman glanced between them, her curiosity evident. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to intrude. I'll leave you two to catch up."

Y/N forced a polite smile. "No, it's fine. I just wanted to say hi."

The woman nodded and excused herself, leaving Y/N and Sukuna alone at the bar. The atmosphere between them was charged with unspoken tension.

Sukuna's expression shifted to one of confusion and concern. "Is something wrong?"

Y/N crossed her arms, trying to control her anger. "No, nothing's wrong. I just didn't realize you had a new friend. You seemed pretty... engaged."

Sukuna's eyes narrowed, a flash of irritation crossing his face. "What's that supposed to mean?"

Y/N's frustration bubbled over. "It means I didn't expect you to be so... friendly with someone else while we're supposed to be focusing on the film."

Sukuna's gaze hardened. "Are you seriously jealous right now? It's not like we have any claim over each other."

Y/N's face flushed with anger. "It's not about claiming anyone. It's about the fact that you're so easily moving on while I'm still trying to make sense of everything."

Sukuna's jaw tightened, his own anger rising. "And what about you? I've seen you with plenty of people, and you never seemed bothered about my feelings."

The confrontation quickly escalated as both of them began to air their grievances. Their voices grew louder, drawing the attention of a few nearby patrons.

"You know what, Sukuna?" Y/N said, her voice shaking with emotion. "I didn't come over here to argue. I just wanted to understand why it's so easy for you to act like nothing matters."

Sukuna's eyes flashed with anger. "It's easy for me? I've been trying to deal with my own feelings while you've been too busy making everything difficult!"

The intensity of their argument caught the attention of the director, Takashi, who approached them with a concerned look. "Everything alright here?"

Y/N and Sukuna exchanged a tense glance before Y/N forced a smile. "Just a little misunderstanding. We'll be fine."

Takashi looked between them, his concern evident. "Alright. Just make sure you two are ready for the next scene."

As Takashi walked away, Y/N and Sukuna's anger simmered, but neither was willing to back down. The conversation had brought their unresolved feelings to the surface, and the jealousy they felt only added to the complexity of their emotions.

The remainder of the evening passed in strained silence. The film crew continued their work, capturing the scenes with an underlying tension that mirrored Y/N and Sukuna's unresolved conflict. The argument at the bar had left both of them feeling emotionally raw, and the strain of their interactions became increasingly apparent.

As the night drew to a close, Y/N found herself struggling to focus on her work. Her thoughts were consumed by the argument and the jealousy she had felt. The confrontation with Sukuna had opened old wounds, and she couldn't shake the feeling of betrayal that lingered.

Sukuna, too, was grappling with his emotions. The argument had revealed his own insecurities and frustrations, and the sight of Y/N's reaction had stirred up feelings he had tried to keep buried. The complex web of jealousy, anger, and unresolved feelings had only made their situation more complicated.

By the time the shoot wrapped up for the night, both Y/N and Sukuna were left with a sense of frustration and uncertainty. The argument had exposed the cracks in their relationship, and the jealousy they had experienced only added to the emotional turmoil they were facing.

As Y/N walked to her car, the city lights seemed to blur together, mirroring the confusion and distress she felt inside. The evening had been a reminder of how fragile their connection had become, and the jealousy they had experienced had only complicated their feelings further.

Sukuna, too, was left to navigate his own emotions as he made his way to his car. The argument with Y/N had forced him to confront his own feelings of inadequacy and frustration, and the jealousy he had witnessed had left him questioning the nature of their relationship.

The night was filled with a sense of unresolved tension, and the journey ahead seemed more uncertain than ever. As Y/N and Sukuna parted ways, each was left to grapple with their own emotions, the jealousy, and conflict of the evening serving as a stark reminder of the complexity of their feelings for each other.

The film's production continued, but the emotional fallout from the night's events cast a long shadow over their interactions. The unresolved jealousy and frustration had created a rift that would need to be addressed if they were to move forward and find a way to reconcile their past.
