"Everyone ready?" The director asked, looking around at the pairs the staff earlier told us and for the first time Eunji wasn't with me. The partners had to be a girl and boy and so I got Jake. Talking to him I got to know he is actually a nice and lovely guy but kind of goofy too when he wants to. Eunji was assigned with some other department students.

As always Jiyeon convinced the staff to be with Heeseung and I think it is better. That girl is not good for someone's mental stability.

"The first shoot is just going to be just like how you all act in your class. It could be playful, friendly chit chat or like you are solving some kind of doubt with your partner." The director announced getting a nod from everyone before I turned towards Jake.

"What should we talk about?" I asked him because obviously I don't know him and to start a conversation at least we need a topic.

"Anything you want? You can even ask me any question about Heeseung." He teased me, which made me hit him slightly on his shoulder.

"It is better to be quiet rather than knowing about him." I interestingly said, earning a laugh from him. "Ok forget him but at least we can talk about each other. I mean we are going to shoot for three days in the same group, so it is better to know each other." He smiled and I could say that he was definitely sincere about whatever he said just by looking at him.

"Fine, that is better. You seem kind of different from your friend." I chuckle, getting a disbelieving expression from him. "You kind of like comparing everything with my friend, yet you say you don't want to talk about him."

He snapped at me suddenly, making me realise he was right. Since the day we began to interact, I began to talk and think about him more than anything else. He is just occupying my every personal space. But I kind of don't want to believe it, I can't.

"It is not like that, whatever. I don't care if you think it like that, I just said that because I thought it was like that." I defended myself, quickly looking away. Jake was again about to say something but eventually stopped when the director interrupted.

"Everyone is quiet on set, we are starting the shoot!" He announced as everyone went silent. With the commands, the shoot finally started as Jake and I talked about random stuff. He was just talking about things he does in his daily life and somehow it was interesting to listen to.

I got to know he has a dog named Layla and that he used to live in Brisbane not until he moved to Seoul in the last year of his high school. We kind of clicked each other's vibe whether it was about interest or studies, we had so many similarities.

"One day my dog-"

"Cut!" The sudden interruption made by the director startled everyone as it wasn't even a minute of shooting. Jake and I looked around, curious about the situation.

"This girl at the front, do you even know how to act? Why are you literally showing your face towards the camera each time?This is not what I want." The director furiously snapped and the person being scolded was Jiyeon.

"I am sorry, I am new and it is my first time being in front of a camera so I did those things nervously." She spoke with a very low and painful fake tone. I heard Jake clicking his tongue beside me which took me off guard.

"Oh God! This girl and her acting." Jake shook his head, making me widen my eyes in disbelief.

"I didn't expect this reaction from you, aren't you and Heeseung her friend?" I asked only to see him shake his head in denial, his eyes showing disgust.
