The shooting began the next day, bringing with it an air of excitement and anticipation. The production team had meticulously planned to film across multiple locations, necessitating the capture of various scenes that demanded Jungkook's full attention and energy.

He found himself racing from one set to another, barely having a moment to breathe amid the chaos of lights, cameras, and the bustling crew.

Despite this relentless schedule, he made sure to carve out some time to call his husband at the end of each long day, cherishing those moments of connection amidst the hectic environment.

However, on the fifth day, a wave of anxiety washed over him. Today was particularly daunting as he was scheduled to shoot a scene in a swimming pool at night, a setting that stirred a mix of excitement and tension within him.

Following that, he faced the daunting prospect of filming a romantic kiss in the rain—a scene laden with both vulnerability and intensity that made his heart race. This looming challenge was becoming a central point of worry for Jungkook.

Desperately needing his husband's support, he felt an urgent need to call Namjoon. However, the crew had planned a lavish lunch at a nearby five-star hotel, followed by a sightseeing tour of the city. This schedule was set in stone, leaving Jungkook with limited time to connect with Namjoon.

He knew that if he didn’t reach out early that morning, there might not be another opportunity, especially since Namjoon was also busy with his own commitments.

Determined to make the call, Jungkook picked up his phone and dialed his husband’s number as soon as he woke up.

To his relief, Namjoon answered on the second ring, his voice warm and inviting. "Hey. Good morning."

Jungkook felt a wave of comfort wash over him at the sound of Namjoon's greeting. "Morning, Nam," he replied, a smile spreading across his face as he envisioned his husband’s reassuring expression.

"So what happened? You called me early in the morning. Is everything alright?" Namjoon asked, concern lacing his voice.

Jungkook hesitated momentarily, biting his lips as he processed how to convey his current feelings. The actress he was working with had been nothing but friendly, making it easy for Jungkook to engage with her.

He had sat beside her during rehearsals, feeling an odd sense of camaraderie, and the director had provided thorough instructions, ensuring he knew exactly what was expected of him. Logically, he understood that this was a beneficial opportunity for his career, yet an inexplicable nervousness gripped him.

Deep down, he knew that this project was a stepping stone for him; the world remained oblivious to his true self, his sexuality, and his loving relationship with a man—Kim Namjoon.

"Jungkook..." Namjoon prompted gently, encouraging him to express what was weighing on his mind.

Are you listening to me?

No… that is not the reason why he has decided to shoot the MV. Never. The motive to shoot it was deeply rooted in his passion and lifelong dream, a dream that had been nurtured since childhood amidst a backdrop of musical inspiration. He had poured countless hours into crafting this music video, meticulously planning every scene, every note, and every shot.

Each element had been thoughtfully considered, with the aim of delivering a story that resonated deeply with the audience. It was a culmination of his dedication and creativity, and he knew that he couldn't let his anxiety derail it all.

The stakes felt impossibly high; this was his moment to shine, not just as an artist but as a person who had fought hard to chase his dreams, overcoming obstacles that had once seemed insurmountable.
