When the Blossom Blooms

CHAPTER 2

"Cut!" a man with a raspy voice shouted. A clapboard sounded. "Scene 22, take 1. Done!"

A small crowd appeared behind the green vinyl sheets after the sound of a rough and raspy voice. Some carried bulky cameras and shooting equipment, such as reflectors, boom stands, tripods, and so on. They all clapped their hands, and many of them cheered. "Job well done!" "Nice work, everyone!" "It's time for a break!" The previously peaceful scene began to clamor.

Ryan, who was lying on the floor, abruptly rises. His face is filled with joy compared to the desperate and remorseful expression he wore not long ago. A look that vanished as if it had never existed.

He quickened his steps as he walked, slightly impatient. As he approached the cliff from which Jen fell, he flashed a smile. There he saw Jen standing on a soft green vinyl foam. Her body, surrounded by the belts are attached to the wires, is now being untied by the other crews.

One of the crew members approached Christoph and offered him a drink. Christoph Grey is the actor that portrays Ryan, and Jen, who jumped off the cliff, is played by Louise Grail. "You should first give it to little junior." The crew nodded, then walked to approach Louise.

Louise noticed Christoph Grey going towards her together with the crew with a drink in his hands. Her eyes squinted to resemble two crescent moons as she greeted them with an elegant, lovely smile.

With her delicate and explicit features, the temple of her head showed dampness from sweating, making her look exude an enticing aura. They both froze and came to a halt when they saw Louise's smile. Her outstanding and beautiful ethereal face couldn't conceal her warm, bright viridescent eyes.

The crew that brought her a drink was ecstatic. To conceal his awkwardness, he left as soon as Louise thanked him.

When Christoph awoke from his trance, he greeted Louise with an awkwardly friendly smile. Louise also thanked him for first offering his drink to her. "Don't worry! It's just a senior's responsibility to manage their juniors."

The crew unfastened all of Louise's belts. She bid them farewell and expressed her gratitude for their assistance. She smiled as they walked away and drank the drink the crew had prepared for her.

"As expected of our famed prodigy, you've gained another fan there?" Christoph Grey teased Louise with a chuckle. "I can see why you're called a prodigy despite only having a few years of experience; your portrayal of Jen is so great that I want to jump off the cliff to save you."

Louise chuckled endearingly. "I am grateful for such recognition, Senior," she added, "but those acts are all thanks to your guidance."
