SOTUS BEHIND THE ACT

Playing Pretend

NARRATOR'S POV

"I couldn't think straight" was all Krist could say. He felt like the limits of their boundaries were broken. After the kiss Krist was too mad to even reclaim an explanation to Singto in front of everyone. "I just ran. Like always, I decided to ran" Krist hurried back to the dressing room and closed the door with a big slam. He could only stand and see himself in the mirror. "Shit" was all he could say. He kept thinking what the fuck was Singto doing? That type of kiss wasn't in the script, it wasn't supposed to become a problem.

At that moment Singto entered in a hurry to the dressing room. "Hey Krist loxxx" he couldn't even finish saying his first sentence.

"Singto....P'..... Just ....look Singto! You are getting on my nerves! Ww..what?! (Krist stuttered) What was that!? Singto laid himself on the wall. "A kiss" answered Singto. He said it with a tone that made it obvious, while trying to read Krist's face. "Yeah sure give me that answer" Krist felt annoyed, it was as if he was trying decipher a riddle on his own. "I know that, is just... (Krist came closer to Singto) you don't do that. Or at least just let me know before we actually start filming!" Krist couldn't even understand what he meant. The thoughts he had were just running inside his head.

"I'm sorry if I startled you, I got too invested in the role, I just I' I'"Krist cut him off. "I understand P'Singto. I understand we were acting, I understand we were in character, I understand that was a kiss. But that, said Krist almost pushing Singto to the wall; (he almost left no space between them), that was something else. ... (Both of them just stood there, silent) Is just that I don't even know if I should be mad or not.... I"ll just tell you something P'" said Krist remarking the word for P' as if he was mad for Singto being his senior and taking advantage of him. "I don't like to be played. (He stared at Singto deep into his eyes as if he was trying to figure him out) Because that (he pointed to the door) didn't seemed like nothing" said Krist while making space between him. Ar the same time Singto went straight to the opposite side of the room.

Singto could only lay on the wall, his hands were on his pockets and he had his head down low trying to think of an answer that would make sense so he could leave things clear between them. "You could at least try to answer P' " said Krist staring at Singto who couldn't even look at him.

"That was a kiss" said Singto with a strong voice, as if he was given a shot of confidence. (He folded his arms and walked towards Krist.)" I guess I got too involved in the character and lost my senses. I'll admit it wasn't correct not letting you know that I would do that beforehand. (Referring to the scene they did a while ago).

"But I don't think I was wrong, we were acting and I was just doing my role. So don't make this" said Singto while pushing Krist into the table and looking at Krist's lips "something bigger than what it truly is."

Krist didn't know what he could say so he could respond back to Singto. Krist gave him a dead stare and decided to leave the room.

Now Singto was left on the room alone. He knew he had fucked up. "Fuck!" he said as he hit the chair next to him. His head was running wild, he had been an asshole to Krist but he knew that in that moment both of them were just as invested into the kiss as Singto was. Singto just couldn't admit it out loud. He took a breath, fixed his hair, and headed back to filming.

"Let's shoot the last scene in this location, after that we will go and film the last scene at the bridge" Krist couldn't help but think that maybe he over reacted, in reality they were just acting Singto was right, if Krist somehow managed to forget whatever feeling he thought he felt in that kiss, then it would be as if it never meant something more.
