Winter wasn't sure if her heart should be beating this fast. It shouldn't, right? They are three weeks into the sitcom shooting, and finally, they gonna record their first kiss today.

Karina was being professional as always. Memorising her script at the corner of the studio, not even giving a glance at Winter's direction which made the younger actress frustrated.

Instead, Winter headed towards her trailer to be alone. The scene later will be when Karina's character sees Winter, the salesman near the street of her house before the older girl invites Winter into her foyer area to confess her feelings.

They would kiss later.

Usually, Winter would always slay all her kissing scenes in every drama she ever was part of. But this time, Winter doesn't know why she became as nervous as this. The way her brain keeps messing things up makes it even harder to memorize back her script.

Maybe because Karina was the Oscar nominee? Or maybe Winter is her fan? Or maybe Winter wasn't so keen towards the older actress this time.

Winter's alone reading session was interrupted when suddenly the door to her trailer squeaked open. She turned her head and saw how Karina peeking her head between the opened door before the older actress asked, "Are you okay?"

That is so out of the blue, Winter said inside her mind.

"Umm... What are you doing here? This is my trailer."

Karina scoffed at Winter's words. "I know. I asked your manager where are you since the shooting going to start soon. Have difficulties memorizing the script, I see," Karina smirked lightly, enough for Winter to roll her eyes in annoyance.

"Shut up. Go away if you just wanna be here to tease me," Winter turned her dressing chair around, opposite Karina's direction. Karina going to tease her again for being forgetful, Winter just knew.

A low scoff escaped the older actress before she closed the door behind her, walking closer to Winter's direction. "Here, let me help you. Which parts did you find it hard to remember?"

Winter turned her dressing chair around, "This part where—" before her words paused when she was too shocked as Karina's figure was already inches away from her. "Gosh! You startled me!"

"Sorry," Karina smiled apologetically. "So, which parts?"

Winter's eyes were looking between her script and Karina's face in embarrassment. She wasn't sure if she should ask this. Her hesitation this while wasn't practically a lie, but somehow it was a lie.

"S-Seeing you here makes my brain work just fine again. I guess I have no problem memorizing this one. Now, you can go out," Winter tried to avoid the older actress's curious gaze by turning her chair the opposite way again, pretending to read her script all over again.

Karina scoffed lightly once more before she shoved her hand inside her jeans pocket.

"Here. A choco ball. My fan gave it to me, and it doesn't taste that good. So I'm abandoning this to you," Karina placed the choco ball on Winter's dressing table before she starts to walk away with a tiny smile, not even looking in Winter's direction as she twisted the knob to the door.

"Come out in fifteen minutes. I'll be waiting," she said one last time before closing the trailer's door. Only then, Winter turns her chair around again, looking straight at the closed trailer's door.

"What's wrong with that woman?" Winter sneered once before her eyes got stuck onto the chocolate ball on her dressing table.

"And look at how she abandons the not-so-delicious choco ball to me. Did she think I was a dumpster?" Winter complains but her hands move fast enough to unpack the choco ball before tossing it inside her mouth.

Her eyes then widen in shock.

"Fucking hell! This is what she called 'not delicious'? This taste is so premium, she talked nonsense!"

*****

Back at the studio, Winter came right on time before the director signalling them to start shooting. Winter was on the road with her usual flyers and Karina who had a crush on her (in real life too, she did) was waiting for her patiently in her foyer.

When the older girl saw Winter just to walk by her house, she called WInter to come into her house area, pulling her shyly by the hem of her shirt.

"Hey. Umm... What's your name again? Shinchan? Shinjeong?"

"It's Minjeong, miss," Winter answered as she stared at Karina in confusion. "Do you have something to tell me, miss?"

"My name is Jimin, by the way," Karina said as she released the hem of Winter's shirt. Her eyes darted to the ground, too embarrassed to see Winter in the eyes. "So, I kind of see you a lot in this neighbourhood this few weeks. Somehow, I—"

"You like me?" Winter cuts her words with a shocked expression. "No way you like me, right? I'm a salesman! Look at my clothes! It's a mere navy jacket that has thorns here and there! Look at your house! It is too big for my—"

Winter's words were cut off when Karina covered her mouth with her hands. "I know, but I can't help myself. Sure, you might say you are out of my league. But I can't help myself Shinj— I mean, Minjeong. I j-just like you so much!"

With Karina's out loud confession, the tension in the air changed somehow. Both actresses looked into each other's eyes in such tension before Winter suddenly held out her hands to hold onto Karina's. "But I am a salesman, miss," she reminds again.

"I d-don't care..."

They look into each other's eyes more, asking and requesting permission from one another. Winter's hold on Karina's hands got tighter as she leaned in towards the older actress's face.

This is the time.

She needs to kiss Karina.

That's what was said in the script.

Their face got closer and closer, only inches apart from one another and Karina could feel how Winter's breath started to hit her skin. It sends shivers to her bones. She would be kissing Winter for real, despite only for their drama.

But she likes Winter so much already, she can't help it. Same with her drama character.

Winter's lips just touched a mere skin of Karina's lips, but suddenly the younger actress pulled away harshly with a frowning face.

"Cut!" the director shouts in disastification. "Winter, what happened—"

"Sorry, director! I need to go to the toilet! My stomach— Wargh!" Winter groaned in pain before she stared into Karina's eyes with her deadly glares.

"What kind of chocolate did you feed me, Karina? I swear—" she stopped her words again when the urge to go to the toilet was too much for her to bear. Winter already running away, clutching her stomach in pain, leaving Karina alone in the shooting set.

The older actress stared blankly at the floor, covering her embarrassed face with her hands. "We were just about to..." she stopped her words halfway.

The memories of the tips of Winter's lips touching her were too much for her to process.
