The story of us

Chapter 1

Its the last scene. The last shot and the most important part of the story. Fans love it. The kissing scene. We were about to shoot the last scene and I know how tired he was. Oh... I was tired too. 

We were in front of each other, the assistant director telling us what to do. The make up artists retouching our make up. 

I smirked at him. He did not give any reaction. 

I swallowed hard, hoping no one noticed. It used to be easy pissing him off. Just showing my face, reminding him of the roadblock to the love of his life. He isn't with her because of me. Because of this tandem. 

Im (y/n). One half this tandem. It started 2 years ago, out of the blue. It just took one commercial, then a tv show, then a movie. A year later we were the next big thing. 

After 6 months on the first year, he was linked to Suzy. Everyone loved her. She's a host now on a noontime show. Ratings went up when she came in. Fans did not take it well. They bashed on Suzy leaving Suzys fans bashing back. It was war every time. 

"Taehyung likes Suzy not you!" 

"Taehyung will never like someone like you. I heard she's a bitch." 

"Tehyung and Suzy are the real thing. Deal with it!"

The social media went crazy. 

Some fans just couldn't take it. They probably felt they were being deceived. 

Our fans felt sorry for med but honestly, they should have been sorry for him--for being stuck with someone like me. What are we after all? 

It was calm at first. Everything was under control. I thought it was just a phase. Fans will eventually get over it, but they didn't. 

Taehyung never said a word, but I knew he was courting Suzy. Those smiles he flash during breaks, Ive seen it all. Teahyung does not give me that kind of smiles--but they were not alone. They were always with friends. They were always a blind item, always asked, and always evaded. 

A Monday morning changed all that. 

We were at a conference room of our agency, along with our team. Our manager walked in and dumped papers on the table. 

TV show ratings are down by 10% 

It was a bad sign. 

In my head, I wanted to blame the writer, the stupid plot she writes but I know in my head that the problem was us. Inside that room, the problem was Teahyung. The problem was Suzy. 

"What are we going to do?" I asked. Someone has to. In his head, I already knew what was going on. He knew what was ahead. It is this impending denial and lies. 

"Teahyung, you are going to do an interview and end rumours with Suzy. Tell people that you are nothing but friends. Then, stop seeing her on restaurants, stop anything that has any relation in social media. The sponsors of the show do not like it and too much has been lost." our handler said. 

I risked a glimpse at him. He was looking down at his hands as if he was going to explode any minute now. 

"She's my girlfriend." He said. I dont know why but it surprised me. I snapped my head up and looked at him. 

Its real, They are real. 

"What?" the handler has to put into words what I cannot. 

"We've been together for a couple of months now." he said. Oh... the secret keeper. 

And then everything went downhill from there, He talked to Suzy telling her of what happened. They went on for another 2 months of hiding. I thought she was strong, but she was not. She couldn't take it anymore. They had to end it. 

No one knew. Nothing on social media. No trace of anything. The break-up was calm. 

Even if it weren't. 

Because i felt the ripple. 

We were sweeter onstage, but more bitter offstage. He would automatically drop my hand after a song performance. He answers the interview questions with either a yes or a no. We were never on the same flight on out of town tours. He took an earlier or later flight than mine. It wasn't long til the fans noticed. Rumours circulated that we really weren't in good terms. It wasn't getting any better. I knew I had to do something. 

3.....2.....1.... ACTION!" It was the voice of the director that sent me back to reality. That line was my cue. 

"Take me out of here my prince." I reached out my hand, entwining my fingers with his hair. Soft as always. He ran his hand on my bare shoulder for I was wearing a spaghetti strapped top. I did my best not to show the shiver as his skin came in contact with mine. His hand slid to the base of my neck, tracing the range of my neck until it reached my cheek. Our eyes never leaving each others. 

Taylor Swifts song echoed in my head as if expanding the moment in time. 

"And right before your eyes, Im breaking, no past" 

He touched his forehead to mine as he closed his eyes. As if relying completely on my emotions. I closed my eyes too. 

"No reasons why, Just you and me...." 

What would be a nice parting gift? I thought to myself. 

"This is the last time Im asking you this..." 

I can feel his breathing, the air fanning in my face. I knew his eyes were now open. I opened mine too. 

"Im not a prince, but I can be your slave.  he said the line perfectly, looking deeply into my eyes, completely in character. He closed his eyes as he leaned again. I felt his lips gaze mine then completely pressing to mine moving so slowly. 

I snaked my other arm around his neck, meeting the other one to push myself in. 

I slipped my a part of my tongue to his mouth, letting it taste his lower lip. I felt him stiffen but he didn't interrupt the scene. He didn't return the favour either. I bet he wishes the scene to be over. Oh, he is a way better actor now than before.

CUT!" the director said and Teahyung instantly pulled himself away. He slightly pushed my shoulder and I stumbled a little, probably still dazed with my craziness. 

"What was that?" he said as he wiped his lips with the back of his hand. 

"What?" I asked being perfectly nonchalant. 

"You tongue." he said in disbelief. 

"Did you not enjoy it?" I said smiling. His face turned sour as if disgusted with what I have done. 

"Your a bitch." he said to me and then turned around right away as if giving up on our circumstances. 

It hurt. I hope no one noticed it etched to face. 

.... You break my heart in a blink of an eye, eye, eye..."

He was out of there as soon as he can. It took me a few minutes to fix myself up, go to my van long with my road manger and personal assistant. 

Kara... I uttered as I slumped on my seat comfortably. 

Yes?" she asked from the passenger seat. 

"How much more time til our contract expires?" her brows met with confusion. 

Three more months til you sign a new one." she said smiling. Why did you ask?"

Nothing much" I said as I channel my attention to the tinted window. Thoughts start to fill my head. 

"This is the last time Im asking you this..."
