Barcode wasn't feeling good but he couldn't show it. He didn't know what to do about his private life but he was quite sure that whatever happen , he won't leave the shoot.

It was the confession scene when his fear triggered him. As far as he knew, there wasn't any kiss included in the scene.

Everything was going smoothly. He was also giving his best while holding back his anxiety. Before the shoot, he tried his best to not think about anything except the shoot.

Even though after seeing jeff , he started feeling bad again but he tried to hold it until Jeff suddenly kissed him.

Shocked, his eyes widened as he froze for a split second before instinct kicked in. Barcode forcefully pushed him away, his heart racing and face flushed with panic. The set fell into stunned silence as both stared at each other, unsure of what just happened.

His chest tightened as panic overwhelmed him. His breath came in shallow gasps, heart racing wildly. The room blurred, distant voices fading as he trembled, struggling to catch his breath. The kiss replayed in his mind, overwhelming him. Feeling dizzy and trapped, he pressed his hands to his chest, desperate for air, before sinking to his knees, lost in the panic. Crew members rushed toward him, calling his name, but everything felt distant, out of reach.

Jeff tried to hold him , "Bar...", but before he could say anything he pushed him again.

"NO... PLEASE....NO.... DON'T", barcode screamed out loud in panic.

Everyone fall silent. Apo , mile , tong, build , bible everyone paused.

It was no longer a mystery that whatever happened to barcode was done by none other than jeff.

Mile rushed to him and punched him hard.

"WHAT THE FUCK YOU DID THIS TIME ??", he asked screaming.

Jeff couldn't say anything. He stood frozen, watching in horror. Guilt crashed over him as he realized the chaos he’d caused. His chest tightened, and tears blurred his vision. Stumbling back, he fell to his knees, overwhelmed with regret.

"I'm sorry," he choked out, the words barely audible as sobs broke free."I'm sorry... I'm sorry I'm sorry",

His body shook uncontrollably, tears streaming down his face, the weight of his mistake crushing him. Helpless, he buried his face in his hands, crying, consumed by the pain of what he'd done.

Everyone looked at him but didn't say anything. They took barcode and left the place.

(JEFF'S POV)

I watched as they took barcode away, leaving me alone on the cold floor. My chest tightened, and the sound of my own sobs filled the now-empty set. No one looked back. They were all focused on him, and I was left with nothing but the crushing weight of my mistake. Tears blurred my vision as I crumbled further, realizing how much I've hurt him with one reckless act. Now, it was just me—alone, drowning in regret.

His panic face covered my mind. I couldn't think straight. Everything happened because of me. If i had let him go. If i hadn't tried to make him mine , nothing could have happened.

I cried at my own guilt but there was nothing i could do.

The shooting stopped for the day. After calming myself down , i started walking towards the room where they took barcode but when i reached all i heard was crying and sobbing.

"Barcode please tell us what happened... Please nong. ", apo was telling him.

But he didn't say anything. I stood outside the door.

After a while tong came out. He saw me standing there with tears in my eyes. He grabbed my hand and took me aside.

I was still looking down. I didn't have the courage to look at anyone's eyes.
