-jaehyun-

'i can't help it!' joy threw her arms around jaehyun's neck, connecting eyes with him until the two were too close to let go of each other.

'then tell me.' jaehyun responded, placing his hands on her waist as he trailed his eyes to her lips. 'do you love me?'

it felt as if a minute went by, the two gazing into each other's eyes until joy's mouth opened.

'i do love you.' she whispered softly, the two closing the gap between them until their lips were centimetres away from one another.

'cut!' the director exclaimed before the two could even touch lips.

but don't get jaehyun wrong, he could've kissed the director for stopping the scene just in time.

he didn't despise his co-worker joy, he couldn't help but appreciate her effortlessly pristine acting, but he despised the feeling of kissing her.

they did it once, in a scene they had recorded, and they immediately drew right apart as soon as the camera's were cut, running to the opposite directions like children.

'we'll go from the top and get different angles for the kiss afterwards-,'

'actually, can we take a break?' joy suggested, sighing with exhaustion. 'no offence but romance tires me why too much.'

not the only one.

'you're lucky you're the only person that plays your leading role extremely well because the way you get up my nerves...' the director joked, nodding in approval.

'you love me too much.' joy joked back. finally, she turned to jaehyun. 'good work.' she gave him a tired smile.

'you too.' he smiled back, itching his nape.

coming back to korea also meant he was going to quit on engineering and do something he was actually passionate about, which was acting.

and not to toot his own horn, but he had the talent and skill, although not studying acting at all. he could almost be called a natural.

and he prayed that this independent movie could shoot him into the stars.

and he couldn't wait until he was in the same magazine as...him.

just once.
