IS IT REALLY JUST ACTING? ; gyuhui

03

mingyu was on the verge of passing out and he wished he could in order to avoid the current situation he found himself in. it was inevitable, of course. he knew it was bound to happen. the cast knew it had to happen, the crew members knew it had to happen and even the people who weren't involved in the making of this production knew it had to happen.

it was time for the kiss scene. 

it had been a couple of weeks into filming and the cast and the members of staff had come to know each other much better. mingyu found himself easing into a more comfortable state, especially with junhui. obviously, mingyu still had a fat-ass crush on his co-star but managed to suppress his feelings a little bit when he was around him. after their first time going out to barbeque and officially hang out as friends along with the rest of the crew and some of the cast, mingyu and junhui's friendship had seemed to really bloom. 

junhui had offered to take mingyu home that night since mingyu had been driven to set by jisoo. the younger had tried to reassure to his co-star that his manager was able to pick him up but junhui was persistent. mingyu couldn't help but give in to his offer and then found himself sitting in the passenger seat of his crush's car. 

at first, it started off as slightly uncomfortable small talk which soon became a passionate conversation about each other's acting background and just little facts about one another. it was fun to learn more about junhui and mingyu was surprised that he was able to keep the conversation going. sure, he felt a little bashful but he was still incredibly comfortable being himself around the older. he wasn't the stuttering awkward mess that mingyu thought he would be which made him fall for junhui even more. the older made mingyu feel at ease and that he didn't have to be intimidated by him just because he had romantic feelings. there was something about junhui that was so warm and welcoming and it made mingyu's heart flutter all throughout the car ride to his house. 

along the filming process, people would often give him compliments on his acting, especially the scenes when he would pine over junhui's character. mingyu accepted and thanked them but could never admit that it was barely acting at all... mingyu was simply projecting his feelings into his performance which apparently made it more believable. 

after wrapping up their last scene of the day before, the director informed everyone that the next day would the filming of the first kiss between the two main characters. junhui simply nodded and had the audacity to smile up at his co-star. how someone could be so cute yet so hot at the same time was still bewildering to mingyu. 

needless to say, mingyu could barely sleep the night before and could not stop fantasising about kissing junhui - as lame as that sounded. the had filmed some scenes that were supposed to push their relationship such as small flirting and little sentimental moments but this was a whole other level. mingyu kept switching from sitting completely sit or bouncing up and down like a child. 

jisoo kept giving him weird looks in the car.

'mingyu, calm down. you look psychotic' 

'hyung, i'm literally about to kiss my crush, i really couldn't care how i look right now' mingyu said while his leg bounced at a crazy pace.  

the kiss was going to take place in their empty homeroom classroom while mingyu was sitting at his desk and junhui was leaning over him. it was utterly cliche and somewhat overdone but knowing that mingyu was stuck in the situation with wen junhui made him giddy. 

while waiting in the common room for everything to be set up on set and for everyone to get their makeup done, mingyu was reading over the script and mumbling his lines to practice. the room was absorbed in silence and when the door suddenly burst open, mingyu flinched in shock. his heart was already beating abnormally fast due to the upcoming scene he had to film and that almost made him go into cardiac arrest.
