"Why didn't you answer your phone?" Chanyeol said pissed off and totally getting involved in the scene that shocked Baekhyun for a second 'cause just before they said action, he was smiling like a lunatic and talking some shit to impress the director.

"I, I, I was - with-" unlike Chanyeol it took some time for Baekhyun to get into it, but when he got there, he stayed consistent. "I was in my class. What else would be the reason." making a straight face that absolutely didn't reflect any inconvenience, he managed to speak out his lines.

"I see you got an attitude." moving close to Baek he spoke fiercely looking into the little one's eyes. This time Baek stayed steady and maintained his expression balanced.

"They look cute together right." the assistant whispered to the director.

"Yes, I was thinking the same. Especially their height difference." Director spoke back while the rest of the crew was judging the action being continued. "But don't you think, this, what's his name-" he looked at his notepad to read his name, "yes, Baekhyun. He's too cute for this character. We need more of a, you know-" the director himself struggled to voice his thoughts, "an asshole kind of behavior."

"You mean like a fierce bitch?" his assistant suggested the right word he's been searching.

"Yes, exactly."

"But if you actually look at him, he got quite that look." his assistant explained but he wasn't fully satisfied. Understanding it, the assistant director signaled the makeup artist to come to him and he whispered something in that guy's ear.

"Just a moment Sir." the makeup guy excused himself for interrupting their act and explained the changes that the assistant director has suggested. Baekhyun immediately agreed to do whatever they pleased to.

It was just a few minutes of break and the whole crew witnessed the most shocking transformation of their lives. All that the artist did was, part Baekhyun's hair in the middle, add a little eyeliner and eyeshadow. And a mesmerized loud wow was heard inside the room when the makeup guy moved away letting the beauty unveil. Chanyeol's eyes widen twice their size looking at that black-haired guy tug his hair behind his ears with those beautiful fingers that drove the attention with them.

"See forehead brings a huge difference." the assistant said and the director nodded in agreeance. "Now imagine his hair dyed silver as described in the book."

"It feels like we'll end the hunt way too soon." looking at Baekhyun and twitching the corner of his lips, the director spoke. "You two. Can you please kiss each other," he asked out of nowhere but it was only Baekhyun that was left frozen.

It was Baekhyun's first audition and everything was going extremely out of line. He just came there because of a useless bet he made with his friends Tao and Luhan back in his Acting School. They made him fill the audition form and bet he wouldn't get selected, Baekhyun tried it because it sounded fun to him. For an instant, he thought of leaving the studio apologizing to everyone for he did it all for fun, but looking at Chanyeol's happy eyes he found it hard to say so. He didn't want to ruin someone else's carrier, he wasn't sure how much his dropping out would affect the taller one, but he didn't want to take any chance.

"Of course, yes." Chanyeol answered and walked to Baekhyun, even before the latter spoke, he further said, "but can you give us a moment please." Baek was pleased by Chanyeol's move as he thought he would be ended up being kissed by a stranger in front of so many people.

"Chanyeol I can't do-" Chanyeol placed his index finger on Baekhyun's lips and left him hanging there.

"You got a girlfriend?" he asked.
