My Man's Scandal [ZhanYi ver]

13 - Too close to the liking

That weekend

The assistant was wiping Zhan's sweaty face. The makeup artist came to him and fixed his makeup. The MV recording already started and right now they're doing Zhan's solo dancing part. As from what Taylor told him, once he done with the MV recording, he will be straight away taking jacket photo for the album. From that, the actor could guess he could no more hiding from people's eyes and he just hoped he will be still alive until he finished this project.

"Zhan. Chuyue sent you a message." Zhan turned and saw Yanjun coming towards him. After his solo dance, they will be starting the group dance. Zhan smiled when Yanjun came to him with a full makeup face and stylish outfit.

"You look so good in that... kind of hip hop style?" Zhan said and praised, leaving Yanjun blushed. Yanjun cleared his throat and shoved the phone to Zhan. Zhan chuckled as he saw the blush. "Aww, are you being shy?" Yanjun slapped Zhan's arm. Zhan chuckled again and then read the text.

From: Chuyue

I will visit you at your MV recording in an hour. Are you still there, Zhanzhan?

Zhan replied the text and handed his phone the assistant, asking her to keep it for him. She nodded and took the phone. The MV director called Zhan and Yanjun. They quickly walked to him.

"Okay, here. The group dancing will be on the water and there are tiny sprinkles of water from above, gives raining effect." The director showed the set. Zhan and Yanjun turned. The background was in pure black and two spotlights on the ground level shone the water-filled stage. "Yanjun, you are going to come in while you rap from the back of the curtain in the centre. There will be two staffs pulling the curtain revealing you and you're going to do like how your practice. You will exit on the left, okay?" Yanjun nodded.

"So, we gonna do the dance from the start?" Zhan asked. The director nodded.

"We will take a full dance from start till beginning in some shot. Oh, be extra careful as it's kind of slippery and the water is going to splash here and there. Be careful of that."

"It gonna be cold." Yanjun commented. The director smiled.

"Don't worry, the studio temperature is up. And yeah, you're going to be sweating like crazy from the dancing." Yanjun grinned. "Okay, ready to the position." The two walked to the stage. The spotlights lighted up. Yanjun mouthed fighting to Zhan. Zhan smiled and mouthed back the same thing. He then turned to his backup dancers saying the same thing. They all nodded and smiled.

The music started from the start. Zhan and the backup dancers gave their best. As Zhan was very focused on his MV recording, he didn't realize someone was watching over him in between the staff. Wang Yibo. He didn't really reveal himself being there but Zhan's makeup artist noticed the producer and greeted him. He just dismissed her with a nod and asked her to shut up about his appearance. She just nodded.

When the rap part came, Yanjun came out and joined the rest to dance.

The dance steps during Yanjun's rap verse had a close interaction with Zhan, which there's some touching each other body. Shunrong did that because he noticed Yanjun likes Zhan and that trainer purposely doing that. Zhan who is oblivious didn't know anything while Yanjun was quite shy at first but he kept his calm and professional side.

Yibo frowned. The scene before him made him choked and furious a second later. He never see the dance steps before (not he didn't want to see but he stopped himself). Yibo bit his lips before snorted when the next rap verse came in. It's a bit loud that making people in 10 inch radius turned to him. That producer kept his poker face but his face was red. He was lucky the MV director was far away from him or he's going to get scolded for making a sound. But how can't he? The two were dancing so close, with Yanjun behind Zhan and literally like hugging the actor with the hand movement. The two faces were stoic but Yibo discovered something in Yanjun's eyes and he didn't like it. Yibo somehow cursed Shunrong inside his heart as he knew the choreography is that guy's.
