Quiet on Set (Jenlisa)

THIRD PERSON POV

"What!?" The Thai hissed

"I'm serious." Ms Yoo said.

"You can't do that.... YOU CAN'T DO THAT"
Lisa yelled.

"Oh? Watch me." Ms Yoo said blankly.

Jennie stood frozen in place, her brows stitched together almost permanently as her brain tried to register the words she has just been told.

"You can't freaking do that. Right?"

"I can and I just did." Ma Yoo shrugged.

"I'm sorry, what?" The brunette finally spoke.

Ms Yoo sighed and rested both palms flatly on the desk, her brown eyes glanced up to the brunette.

"How badly do you want this, Jennie?" Ms Yoo asked.

The question left Jennie baffled in a way, she'd needed this chance more than she'd ever expected. Hundreds came to audition but she managed to score that role, it would change her life so much to continue on the journey, plus she'd never had so much fun before on a set.

"Are you even allowed to force us to do that?" Lisa asked.

It was only then did Ms Yoo glance at the girl and pierce her brown eyes into Lisa's doe eyes.

"I'm your director. And I'm your agent, Lisa." Ms Yoo said sternly.

Jennie's face fell fast. In that instant her skin became greyed, her mouth hung with lips slightly parted and her cat-like eyes were as wide as they could stretch.

"Yo- you're her agent?" Jennie asked.

"You didn't know this?" Lisa questioned.

"It doesn't matter. The point is, it'll help you two understand each other. You're fighting over petty stuff and it needs to end. Jennie, you're really talented. We had alot of people audition for the role but yours... Yours left a mark on us, you were unforgettable. And you Lisa, you know exactly why you're here. And you two work. You work so good together on camera, I just don't know how the hell you fail to be that same way off camera. I don't want to let anyone go just because of stupid fights. This movie means alot to Goldenheart, and I'm sure it means alot to each one of you. Lisa you know Goldenheart and you know it's her first script. So for the love of God, please get yourselves together and agree to this." Ms Yoo scolded.

The two actresses drank in the silence to counteract the fear that threatens to engulf them, they knew it was a bad idea to have two hot headed girls in the same house since they hated each other, but they needed a way to solve the problem. This kind of thick silence would normally chill Jennie, especially on an inky night devoid of even moonlight or stars, but tonight it worked like a salve. She felt it. The more absolute it was the stronger it's medicinal effect.

"Do you really think putting two people that hate each other in the same house is going to solve their problems!?" Lisa grumbled.

"No. But you'll try." Ms Yoo said.

"There isn't any other ideas or would you rather leave the set when the film is already in progress?" The male director asked.

Jennie bit her lip nervously as she glanced at Lisa, not finding the will within herself to speak up. She knew she had to agree to whatever was happening because she had no choice, she wanted to continue in the movie, it was the only thing making her the adrenaline to wake up in the morning.

But she also knew that everything depended on what Lisa said next.

"What are my parents going to say about this?" Lisa asked.
