"Do you feel something when I touch you"

Taehyung's pov

I couldn't believe anything the moment those haunting words left her mouth. I knew someday she had to mention something like this it was unbelievable for me to imagine that she would never get attracted to me.

The beautiful woman sitting in front of me looks at me in awe as if I've stolen something from her.

The habit of me calling her beautiful is more addictive than any other addiction present in this world.

She's like a poison. Well known that she's the most toxic drug for me I still let my heart hunt down for her and crave for her even more even though I know that if I ever dare to drink it I'll die the moment it touches my mouth.

I may be heaven for her but day by day she's becoming the death of me dragging me down to hell every time I look at her. Pain and responsibilities flood over me like a tsunami slapping me on the face every time.

"No dear"

I lie with a pacifying grin trying to act like a fucker that has a heart of stone.

All these years of misery made me believe that I actually have a heart of stone. All sorts of these things broke in a span of time the minute I saw her. I no longer have a heart of stone.

How unaware is she to know that I felt like I was on the ninth cloud the moment she touched my cheek with her glorious hands to remove that piece of ice cream.

Too much unaware that she doesn't have an idea of how I can't breath when I'm dangerously close to her. How my heart mindlessly starts a marathon and my cheeks become a tomato. My eyes in awe trying to ponder her beauty.

I've always wondered how those forty years old poets can write some heart clenching stories and novels about love that could make you cry in a mere second.

They fall in love. All it takes for them to fall in love and then you can write a thousand novels on love.

"Why do I think that you're thinking too much"

Her melodic voice breaks me out of my little thought session.

I never had an idea that I could think like that as if I'm writing a book.

"Because I am"

I willingly utter the truth not really thinking.

Now it's too late to justify.

"What were you thinkin-"

She says again and I cut her off.

"Too many questions in a day layla I can only answer some"

I grab up a nonsense excuse trying to get out.

"But-" She says

" ~Can I ask u something taehyung~
session ends."

I launched a nice reply standing up.

"Let's go"

She stands up and I look at her face. The anger bubbling up on her face is evident. She doesn't say anything and follows me silently pinching my jacket.

"Where did u learn to hold a man like that"

I asked with curiosity.

Why can't I keep my god damn mouth shut for one fucking minute when I'm around this beauti- NO.

Woman. I mean when I'm around this 'woman' yeah.

"I'll look like I'm your girlfriend if I hold your arm with my whole hand. You attract rumors and paparazzi. I don't wanna get in a dating scandal especially with you"

She explains the whole reason built behind her small little action.

"Think less"

I remark at her unnecessary information.

"You too" She replies making me shut.

God damn. I've never felt so targeted before. I just got insulted for the first time in my life like this.

Her and I enter into the car and I start driving.

"You are not going to the shoot today"

I register my desicion being possessive and worried about her.

I can't tolerate any man touching her.

I would have killed that motherfucker Jackson that day. The police just made the situation stop.

"Didn't you listen what I said"

Her loud voice brings me back.

I'm thinking and dozing off too much these days.

Layla's pov

Something's happening to me

Something's happening to me

Something's happening to me

Something's definitely happening to me that should not happen at any moment.

"I said that I will go to the set."

I said denying his statement.

"You are NOT"

He says with a stern voice looking at me and I feel my heart pace. Little blush covers my cheeks making me look like a tomato

he shifts his focus back on the road.

My god my heart would just explode if he keeps doings things to me.

What on the earth is even happening with me. I've to ask someone about it.

"I am. No arguments"

I said not looking at him. And he sighs loudly.

"You're the most stubborn woman I've ever met"

He says pressing his lips together.

"You've met another women"

A horrible statement leaves my mind without any permission.

He looks at me with wide eyes and I shut my mouth with my hand tightly.

"Why? Is that a problem to you"

Yeah.

Pretty much.

Layla NOO.

"NO NO NO. It just slipped out of nowhere I'm sorry"

I said lowering my eyes.
Ok
I just got embarrassed two times.

What was even in my mind that I came up with

'Do you feel something when I touch you'

Ewww. Cringe to be honest. I was flabbergasted when those words left my mouth. I've never felt as embarrassed as I'm feeling today. What even happens to me when I'm with him.

"And about that the.. I that uh the thing I uh you know... I said... Uh.. Umm earlier"

I tried to apologize about that cringe question.

This is the first time I've saw my extrovert self stuttering.

This man is doing something to me.

I opened my mouth to speak again but he speaks.

"I know what you mean"

He said exactly understanding that what I'm saying.

"I'm sorry about that it was a embarrassing question. I shouldn't have asked it."

I said with a bit of hesitation wondering if he would insult or mock me.

"That's nothing to be ashamed of. It's good to ask something you're curious of. Because things left unspoken can cause many things later. You had a question you asked it and you're confusion goes away. It was not a embarrassing question. It was rather a serious and meaningful question"

Oh. My. God.

He's. So. Cool. Fuck.

He just registered my embarrassing question as a meaningful one. His tone was calm rather than serious. It feels like something has caused him bad things due to this. No man could ever do what he just did. I was expecting an insult or a mockery. God. He's really good a giving advices.

"I... Uh thanks"

Having nothing to speak I just thanked him.

I internally smiled like an idiot. Oh my god what's happening. It really concerning.

In no time him and I reached the house. He parked the car in the backside and got out.

I opened the door of my car but I felt someone pulling it.

It was him.

Why does he do things that make me feel weird.

Idiot.

I hope I don't have a mental problem or some shit.

He opened the door of my side indicating me to get out.

I didn't dare to look him in the eyes. I quicky got out of the car.

Since I don't the password yet. He opened the big steel gate and I finally found out the password.

It was....

0000. Difficult isn't it.

So difficult that even a 3rd grader could solve it

"Isn't that password tooooo hard to crack"

I said while hitting his arm playfully.

"Ouch layla that shit hurts"

He touched his arm aggressively rubbing it.

God so much drama.

"Let's do it again then"

I said with a sarcastic grin. I hit him again and ran away laughing like a maniac.

"I'm not leaving you this time"

He warned me and ran behind him.

I ran all around the Hall. He was this near to catch me but I jumped through the sofa and ran away.

"HAHAHA BETTER LUCK NEXT TIME"

I yelled through the corrider.

Oh my god laughed too much that my stomach hurts now.

"NO WAY THAT IS AGAINST THE RULES"

He screamed on top of his lungs being irritated. His face looks so funny right now.

I threw a pillow on his face and ran upstairs.

"If I CATCH YOU TODAY YOU'RE GONE LAYYYLAAA"

there's no way he's going to catch me.

I proceeded to run towards his room. I opened the door facing him showing my tongue.

"THERE ARE NO RULES HAHAHAHA"

I ran away laughing and jumped on his bed.

"I'm GOING easy on you women"

He said trying to catch me and I ran away he wasn't even able to touch. I jumped on the bed again trying to save myself but I was too misfortune to think that.

He took a big jump and caught me.

Idiot.

"YOU LOST. WOHO"

He laughed with a smug face showing his victory.

__________________________________

Some hours later.

After fighting with him for an hour I finally won the argument and now him and I are going to the set.

He was arguing that I shouldn't go to the set but I splashed him back and made him agree.

HA HA HA.

I reached the place while he was behind me doing God knows what. He said he would come in 15 minutes so I started walking and entered the trial room.

Iu was sitting on a chair talking with one of the side characters I've never saw.

I seated myself beside her.

"Oh layla when did you come"

She noticed me and exclaimed with excitement.

"Here meet her she's Dove one of the side characters"

Iu said directing her eyes to the girl sitting beside her. The girl had short blonde hairs with a small face filled with little freckles. She has beautiful almond eyes. Her skin was milky white and tanned from her neck and arms. She is pretty.

"Dove she's layla the main lead I was telling you about"

Iu informed her and dove smiled at me. She has a beautiful smile no doubt. She has braces making her look more beautiful.

I was staring at her teeth and she said.

"The braces don't worry they are just for the show"

She laughed while informing me.

"Oh okay"

I hesitantly replied.

"You have a beautiful name"

I complimented her trying to start a conversation.

'Extrovert qualities of mine'

"Yeah it's really beautiful it's just a shortcut my full name is dovatalliana rogers frost"

She replied with a grin and i smiled at her real name.

"That's quite cool"

I said and she fixed her hair.

"Yeah my granny named me while I was not even born she has this weird dream of naming me this I don't know why lol"

She replied with a heavy accent showing that she's not korean.

"Your grandma had such a cool name planned"

Iu said looking at dove and she huffed.

"IU I actually wanted to ask you about something"

I remembered about my doubts and iu nodded.

"Go on what it is"

Dove said trying to listen to me.

"So there's this friend of mine"

I can't tell her it's me.

"Didn't you said you had no friends"

Iu eyed me suspiciously.

"It's my Australian friend"

I came up with a excuse and iu suited herself.

"So this friend of mine is living with a male roommate and at starting she hated him like you know they fought all the time and now she's feeling weird around him"

I briefly explained my situation.

"Weird you know she said her heart races whenever the man comes closer to her. She is a confident lady but she stutters when taking to him. Her face becomes red seeing him. I don't know it's really confusing"

I sighed finishing the sentence.

"Does she feel something in her stomach when he is close to her or she feels as if she can't breathe and admires him? "

Dove asks with curiosity and I vigorously nod.

"Okay that's clear"

Iu says clapping her hand.

"What"

I ask dumbfounded.

"Your friend is in love with him"
"Your friend is in love with him"

Iu and dove both reply at the same time making me halt at my breathing.

"WHAT? NO That's IMPOSSIBLE"

I yell while standing from the chair.

"That is possible all of the things you explained are clear signs that she has fallen for him"

Iu replies shaking her head.

"Yeah she's right"

Dovatalliana takes iu's side

"NO I can't FALL- SHE CAN'T fall for him"

I reply in astonishment.

My smile disappears in a few seconds and I sit on the chair with a down face.

I can't fall for him. I've gone mad it's all delusional I'm thinking too much. I haven't fallen for him I think it's just because of my hormones he's a man and I'm a woman it's normal. Yeah if I don't talk to him and ignore him I'll probably lose these weird feelings. Yes. That's it.

"If you're thinking that your friend will lose feelings if she stays away from him then stop it right now because it's impossible"

Dove says answering my thoughts. Seems like this girl has a lot of knowledge about love.

"Why"

Why was the only think that leaves my mouth. I mean why.

"I mean it isn't necessary that everytime someone feels like this it's love. Sometimes it can be something else too. Just a normal feeling of a woman living first time with a man"

I ponder all of my questions with curiousty still in denial that I love him.

In the back of my mind I have silently agreed that it's true.

It's not like I have a problem falling in love with someone. It's just that he is not that type of a person that I should fall in love with. One thing I know that he doesn't have same feelings and the second thing is his statement at the start which makes me believe that he will never be in a relationship with me.

'It will always be YOU and ME and never US'

I still remember these words said by him and now they hurt.

"Do you feel the same when you are around any man besides the one you love"

Dovatalliana says looking at her freshly done nails.

"No. The feelings only come when he is around"

I truthfully register my feelings.

"So, it means the feelings are special aren't they. If these special things only happens around certain someone that isn't it love. Love means when you feel differently for a certain someone in different type of a way and now matter how much you run away it will never leave you"

She briefly explains answering all of my questions.

I nod at her every statement.

"It's time to get pretty girls"

A loud voice breaks our conversation as we direct our eyes towards the owner of the voice.

There stands a girl with big bun on her head. Her height must be 4'11 because she looks really short. She wears a black small tight frock which is just an inch up her knees. She had put on a black corset as a belt. It had a great neck design. Her black velvet frock was designed with silver chains here and there. Moving on she wore black net tights and a beautiful pair of black heels making her tall. Her face was small and she had a small wolf cut. Her hair was jet black. She was wearing black earrings and her face looked really white with makeup. She had black smokey eye with a thick eyeliner and black lipstick. . Her nailpolish was black and her fingers had beautiful rings. She had an eyebrow piercing. And at last I realized that she
.....

She was a goth girl. A beautiful one.

Her outfit

Her heels.

"Hey pretty bitches it's your girl velvet valentina Vladivostok"

She introduced her self with a cocky voice. She sure is a goth girl.

All of these girls have Royal ancestors I guess that's the reason for their big ass names.

"Oh hey dovatalliana"

She greeted dove as if she knew her.

She did know her.

"Oh 3v long time no see how's skeleton"

Dove called her by a weird name asking for a weird creature.

Who the fuck is skeleton.

"My cat's fine and I'm pretty fucked and fine haha"

She replied In her deep voice.

Skeleton is the name of her cat.

"That's a pretty nice name for a cat viva"

IU asks her by a different name.

"Of course old women you know nothing about being a goth girl"

Velvet. Viva or 3v I don't know, she rolls her eyes at IU.

"oh hey who's this beautiful woman"

She directs her eyes at me.

"I'm layla Smith nice to meet you"

I forward my hand and she shakes my hand.

"You are just as beautiful as your name sweetheart"

She replies in a sweet voice looking at me with soft eyes.

Im not even that beautiful.

But I know how to take compliments.

"Thank you so much and look at you you are pretty as a shining moon"

I compliment her back.

"Okay so I'm gonna make all of you into pretty whores so every man would stop to stare."

She passes a comment.

Her use of language is really weird. But she doesn't really mean it.

She is our makeup artist.

"And by the way you can call me either velvet or Viva. 3v does not make sense so you will not call me that"

She tells me while opening the big makeup kit.

"But does 3V even mean"

I ask in curiosity.

"All of my three names start from V so they call me vvv as short, 3v."

She explains the meaning behind the mathematical name.

I was really close to calling her velocity but thank god she explained it all by herself.

"Let's do some black magic and turn you into a pretty girl. More prettier than you already are"

I chuckled at her compliments.

After that she did my makeup and I wore an outfit .it was a normal old type of gown.

This gown did not have a corset it was light blue and had puff sleeves .

I wore a small pearl necklace. The neck was deep and beautiful.

My hairstyle was no special it was a big bun with a little tiara on top.

And two big strands of hair falling down my face which were curled up by velvet.

"Oh my god you look so pretty layla"

Iu compliments me and I blush.

Iu was dressed in a plain white gown with a old brown coloured small corset on her little waist.

She had a cloth tied to her hairs as she was playing the role of a maid. She was too pretty to be doing the role of a maid.

Dove was going to play the role of taehyung's sister.

Dove had worn a similar gown as mine but a bit more styled and she has a big crown on her head as she's the king's sister a very royal person.

"So layla from now on...you are not alone"

IU tells as velvet nugdes her from behind.

"What do you mean"

I said as I set my hair looking into the mirror.

"So we are three best friends and for a long time we were trying to find one more friend to complete our group and I think that you can complete our group"

Iu explains briefly that how she adds me into her friend group.

Excitement runs through me and I widely smile.

"So officially now we are all best friends"

Dove says and we all assemble into a hug.

"That's really sweet of you girls"

I said thanking all of them for not outcasting me or something.

"Oh my god I'm so happy we're gonna be four single bitches for life "

Velvet passes a comment and we all laugh

"Let's take a selfie"

Dove says and we all assemble and do weird poses and click alot of pics.

We exchange contacts and velvet creates a group named....

"FOUR NON- NIGGAS"

She forwards all the pics into the group.

it took me a good amount of time trying to understand the meaning of nigga and Non. Because  we're all white.

Velvet really is something.

"We'll make sure to hangout when we have time"

I say as I smile and smile

"I think we should go the shoot is gonna start"

Dove said urging everyone to go.

Velvet also accompanies us as she said she would take the charge of doing the touch ups .

I roam around here and there and we all part ways.

I seat myself in the sitting room and I was handed today's dialogues and script.

I already have them on my fingertips but I still go through them all again.

I look up as I see someone coming towards my sight.

With the calmest face and empty eyes.

The man who messed up my mental and physical state and is smiling so calmly like he has no idea.

He was wearing a old type of suit as same colour as mine . He looks so breathtaking right now. This man is just amusing in every outfit.

He sits beside me and shuffles through his dialogues

I'll try to be as rude as possible and ignore him as much as I can.

"How do you feel"

He asks a question out of nowhere.

Why can't this man keep his mouth shut.

"Why ? Is there a problem with me"

I stupidly reply and he scoffs.

"I just want an answer don't spill nonsense"

"I want a reason for your irrevelent question"

I roll my eyes looking at him.

"You're just a rude brat nothing else"

He harshly remarks diverting his vision from me.

" Excuse me did you just call me a rude brat. It's you who's a rude bastard not me"

I said being really offended.

"Shut up you're a clumsy weeb moreover . Don't try to open my mouth layla"

He warns calling me names.

"Why can't you have a normal conversation without being so obnoxious all the time"

I said being frustrated .

And I thought that I was falling for this jerk.

"I have no fucking idea that why people can't reply normally to a question instead of being difficult"

He taunts and I chuckle at his duality.

One minute before he was asking me about how do I feel and now.

"And I have no idea why do people even start a conversation when all they have to behave is rudely at last"

I spat back and he rolls his eyes standing up and sitting somewhere else.

Why did he even sat beside me in the first place.

I can never have a normal conversation with this man.

10 minutes later .

The shoot starts

We all assemble in the hall at first we need to take pictures for the posters.

The picture consisted all of the family.

There were two big royal chairs me and taehyung were supposed to sit on those.

I sat as everyone stood beside me and taehyung. Him and I just had a fight so I avoided looking at him.

"The father has to do a devilish smile while dove you will sweetly smile sticking onto him as you blindly trust your father. The mother you have to keep a dead face representing your hate towards your husband. And the other mistress of the father will stand beside you with the same expressions.

PRINCE SEONGJONG

aka taehyung we'll be calling you 'S' as short and

PRINCESS CAROLINE BRUCE

Aka layla we'll be calling you 'C' as short. "

The director explains everything as the camera man sets it's camera

"Iu as lim hyeri we are calling you lim and dove as kim boo ra we'll call you 'B' and at last S's father will be addressed as father and mother as mother and mistress as mistress."

He explains everybody's short cut names. And I remember them .

" S and C hold hands and smile as you're deeply in love forgetting about anything."

The director says and I frown I knew now or never.

I forward my hand towards him and he holds it we smile sweetly.

His hand feels so soft and warm. I switch off my emotions focusing on the acting.

The pictures were clicked and we move on to the scenes.

Velvet came running towards me to do the touch ups.

" Oh my god you and taehyung look so good together like a 'till death do us apart' couple"

She says in a loud voice and taehyung looks at her weirdly as he heard it too.

I just laugh because it's too funny for us to be a couple.

"No no we're not a couple at all"

I said clearing her imagination.

"But I'm sure you'll be one day"

She comments as she applies her black lipstick.

"That's impossible"

I roll my eyes as she does my touch up .

After 5 minutes we start our shoot.

"Three two one and ACTION !!

"Carolina darling promise me that you'll never leave me"

Taehyung softly says clipping my shoulder.

"You may consider me as the biggest sinner if I ever ought to leave you my highness"

I reply .

"Oh darling how much I adore you and I'm looking forward to connect you with me forever"

He grins loudly as he tucks the strand of my hair behind my ear.

My heart races at his touch.

Oh my god I need to act.

"That's  great news your highness"

I say biting my lip.

"How many times I've told you not call me that when we're alone"

He warns and I blush..

"Oh uh that's great news Jongiee ah"

I hesitantly reply.

"That's my Carolina"

And the conversation goes on and on.

"........." He flirts.

".........." She blushed

".........."  he proceeded to tease her

"The king is arriving"

A guard loudly announces.

And both of the couple stand at a distance.

The king arrives and the camera moves to him and the director shouts.

"CUT CUT CUT"

"Amazing guys well done let's move on to another scene"

Director claps and the camera set themselves again

"You're a well trained actor"

The father aka mr park comments and I laugh.

"Ah it's not like that"

I have nothing else to say.

He looked really serious and devilish as he plays the role of a villian but he's a really sweet person I've talked with him before.

"Park is to sweet for this role don't you agree"

The mother which is also the wife of mr park in real life teases Mr park.

" You're correct mam"

I join in the conversation.

"Oh honey I'm a very serious person"

He sweetly says looking at his wife.

"You are"

Mrs. Park replies in sarcasm and we three laugh.

"May I join"

A deep and crumbling voice replies and we look to find the only one

Eunwoo.

"Eunwoo how come I didn't find you before"

I say as with wide eyes . He is such a charm and I was missing him.

"Well I'm here now"

He says pointing to himself.

"Eunwoo looks stunning in every role how majestic"

The women playing the role of mistress compliments and smiles as her wrinkles pop out. She's hyerin. She hates when someone called her ahjumma so everyone address her by her name.

"Stop already hyerin"

Eunwoo rolls his eyes already being tired from compliments.

"Looks like you guys became a family already"

The director comments with a cheeky grin.

"Not at all director we're all long lost teens in a big body"

Eunwoo replies and everyone willingly agrees.

"I'm the most mature man out there watch out kids"

Mr. park slides a joke and everyone laughed.

"Come on guys it wasn't a joke"

Mr. Park whines flying out his hands.

All of these people are so cool.

"You're all whole ass joke park"

Hyerin teases him and he whines more.

"Mr . Park may be mature sometimes"

I try to take his side and his smile comes back.

"See see see you all I knew some body out there would see the seriousness in me"

He tries to make everyone believe.

"We already know it Mr. Park when you fell in that pool with a 6 year old kid"

Iu joins the conversation as she brings out an incident.

"And you drowned in that 3 feet pool we knew it you were really mature right there"

Dove continues as she pops out from iu's. Back.

Every body shakes their head and Mr park smiles in disbelief.

"Okay guys get back to your positions"

We all settle as taehyung comes back from I don't know where.

Mr park puts on the seriousness.

"SHOOT"

"Dad"

Taehyung scoffs and moves his vision.

"Ms. Soon to be the queen of the Daeson kingdom I request your dismissal"

He acts really professional and serious.

I'm gonna laugh if I look more at his face.

"I may go-  *I broke into a laugh*"

Taehyung looks at me in awe and hides his face holding in his laugh.

Everyone was holding a laugh and they let that out.

Mr park starts to laugh and I cover my face.

"I'm- I'm rea- lly sorry"

I say inbetween my laughs.

"Oh god I was holding the laugh really well"

Mr park says and I smile.

"I was unable to hold it"

I said failing at my actions.

Three! Two ! One !

Take no. 4

The conversation starts again.

"........."

"........." I leave

"..........". The father and taehyung have a serious conversation

All of us sit and watch them as one of them breaks into a laugh.

And that's how after five hours today's shoot ends with laughs and talks.

I never knew it would be this fun to be at a shoot.

I got familiar with all of them. All of the people are really kind and sweet . Their conversations are really cute and childish. I really did forgot that my mood was ruined due to taehyung. I ignored him most of the times and it was peaceful.

I love it.

Today's day was the best.
