Chapter 448 Thinking 'Bout You
The two actors definitely felt more comfortable compared to the previous takes.
The onlookers also felt the shift in their composure, making them impressed of June's and Arin's professionalism.
June had a sweet smile, one that would make his fangirls melt in a heartbeat.
Jay shook his head as he watched June in his element, wondering how the guy was filled with so much talent. He didn't expect him to improve so fast after his suggestion.
Arin, too, embodied the shy Nayeon who didn't have a lot of experience with love. However, her eyes were filled with so much love—one that others couldn't deny.
"Arin is killing it," Nana whispered, liking the look on the actress' face.
However, her expression was largely attributed to the fact that she wasn't really acting.
She just really liked June.
June took a step forward...and another...and another...until they were only a foot away from each other. There was still a gap between them since they wanted to keep the drama PG-13.
Nonetheless, there was something heart-fluttering about their distance.
It was something only teenagers in high school could portray.
It took them back to the times when love was much simpler, and Director Nana wanted to portray that sweet love in the short drama.
"Tomorrow, wear whatever you're comfortable with," Jin said, looking into Nayeon's eyes.
Nayeon shyly tucked her hair behind her ears.
"For what?" she asked.
Jin paused for a moment, internally gathering his courage to finally ask the question.
"Our first date—let's have it tomorrow." Follow current novels on novelb((in).(com)
Jin sighed in relief after he finally dropped the question. It was fascinating how June was able to act on the nuances of Jin's character.
He was really just a shy little boy despite his cool exterior. The onlookers were endeared by Jin's personality and June's portrayal.
The others watching felt like a star was being born right before their eyes. It was rare to find idols who could act as well as June, and although Director Nana wanted to gatekeep his talent so she could continue to work with him, she also knew that the world deserved to see June in bigger projects.
"You should tell me more than that," Nayeon said.
"What do you want to know?" June cheekily asked. "It may not be much since I'm saving up, but I think we can still have a fun time."
Nayeon sighed before shaking her head.
"You know I don't care about that. I can even pay for the date if you want."
"No," Jin shook his head. "Please, let me spoil you."
"Are you going somewhere? Let's have dinner together," Arin asked without any hesitation.
June pursed his lips and removed her arms around his bicep.
"I have a meeting with our company in a while," June responded.
"Tomorrow then," Arin said, not giving up.
"I need to film King of Kings."
"Then the day after tomorrow," Arin exclaimed.
"We're filming that day," June smiled.
Arin sighed. "After the filming," she insisted. "Treat me to dinner."
June looked into her eyes and felt like the girl wouldn't give up until he agreed.
"Fine," he said.
June was sure the effects of the WhimsiLust potion would have ended by then, so he just agreed. Arin, in her normal state, would for sure forget about it after the potion's effect ended.
Arin smiled brightly.
"See you then...baby boy!" she sweetly whispered the last part of the statement, causing June to freeze.
A shiver ran down his spine—and it wasn't the good kind.
"I can't wait for that potion to expire," June muttered as he walked to where Jay was sitting.
"Well, that was interesting," Jay teased.
June sighed. "Let's go. Don't we have a meeting with the producers?"
Jay nodded as the two started walking back to the parking lot. "Yeah, they have another song for the album."
June pursed his lips, following Jay.
"Why do you look disappointed?" Jay asked. "Aren't you happy about your new album?"
"I am," June said. "It's just that—I wish they'd give us more opportunities to show our creativity. The first two songs of the album are decent, but I just feel like there's something missing. They don't even listen to our suggestions."
Jay sighed, silently agreeing. He felt a little bit ashamed that he couldn't change the situation, so he kept quiet.
"By the way," Jay said as they got to the car. "Did you implement my suggestion when you were acting just now? I was surprised by your sudden improvement."
"I did," June smirked.
"Thanks for telling me to think of astras while acting with Arin."
