Into You

•6•

Instead of pulling away and looking at me in disgust, Ravi raises his holds my face as he kisses me.

He pauses and pulls away. He looks from my lips to my eyes and chuckles softly.

"This will be great for the video. Once more" he whispers and kisses me again.

It's for the video, it's for the fans. I tell myself and find myself grabbing his waist, gently pulling him against me.

Something inside feels right about this. My heart rate quickens as Ravi's lips caress my own.

Soon the director calls cut and Ravi instantly pulls away from me. I feel slightly empty at the absence of his body as he steps away.

"You are an amazing kisser. You must have done it a lot" he smirks and drags his thumb along his bottom lip whilst making eye contact with me.

I don't know what to say so I just look back at him in silence.

His manager suddenly rushes over to him and he breaks the eye contact.

After speaking in hushed voices for a brief moment, Ravi turns to me again and extends his hand.

"Job well done. You are done for today. Hyuk has managed to pull himself away from his schedule and has arrived so now I can film his scenes. But don't worry, I most certainly will be using your scenes."

I bow and shake his hand.

He goes to walk away but stops and turns on his heel to face me once more.

"I'll contact you later to let you know when you have to come in tomorrow."

I mutter a goodbye as he leaves the room. The same stylist who dressed me before takes me back to the dressing room and I get back into my own clothes.

They send me back to the entertainment building in a spare van on set.

When I arrive back at the cafe, I am surprised to see how empty it is.

Hakyeon is wiping down tables while Hongbin texts someone behind the counter.

"Where the hell have you been?" Hakyeon snaps as he sees me walk through the front doors.

Oh you know, touching and kissing the country's most popular idol. The usual stuff.

"I have a new job" Is what I say instead. I don't think they'd appreciate the other part.

"Eh?!" Hongbin exclaims and drops his phone onto the counter.

"Where?" Hakyeon asks me as he folds his arms across his chest.

"I work for Ravi, as his personal barista" I inform them and they both have matching confused looks on their faces.

"Is that even a thing?"

"Ravi made it a thing. I follow him on his schedule and make him coffee wherever he is." I explain in more detail but they still look confused.

I walk over to the counter and place my apron on the surface. Hongbin looks at it then back at me.

"So you aren't stuck here with us anymore?" he frowns as I nod, confirming it.

"I'm sure they will hire someone else. They won't just leave the two of you to run the place. I'll still be in the same building at times so I can visit" I try to sound optimistic but Hongbin is tearing up.

"Our baby Taek is leaving the nest" he walks around the counter and pulls me in a warm embrace.

"Baby Taek? I'm three years older then you" I chuckle but he ignores me.

I pull away from him and look to see Hakyeon has gone back to wiping down tables.

"Hakyeon, aren't you going to congratulate Taek?" Hongbin asks and Hakyeon pauses long enough to look at me.

In that brief moment, I see the pain and hurt in his eyes even though it isn't fully at the surface.

"Why would I congratulate him on ditching us for a job with the company's fuck boy."

I don't know what to say to that. Hongbin visibly gulps and slowly walks to stand behind the counter once more.

I walk over to Hakyeon and take the cloth away from him, forcing him to look at me.

"I understand if you are upset that I'm leaving you two but please don't be like this. Ravi is actually a great guy."

He just scoffs and rolls his eyes.

"And you know this after only spending half a day with him? Wow. You two must have had a lot of fun."

A sudden wave of anger hits me.

"What gives you the right to plainly insult your best friends new job opportunity? You don't know everything Hakyeon. You don't know Ravi."

"What...You do? Enlighten me, tell me something I don't know about him."

I poke the inside of my cheek with my tongue as I try to think of something.

There isn't much that I could tell him without giving away what happened at the music video filming.

"That's what I thought. You know, enjoy the new job, but don't expect your old position to be open if it all falls to pieces."

Hakyeon scowls and walks out of the cafe.

I turn to look at Hongbin and he looks at me in shock.

"Does he realise that he isn't the boss here and that it isn't his break?"

I grab my things from the back and say a quick goodbye to Hongbin before making my way back to my apartment.

I can't say that I was expecting Hakyeon to be pleased but I thought he wouldn't be so against it.

After hearing what he said, I can't help but think that I've jumped into a situation which I won't be able to control.

A/N - what do you think about WONTAEK scene ravi filmed for his video? what about hakyeon's reaction to taekwoon's new career?
