He gently bit his lip anticipating her next move, she scrunched her forward hesitant to proceed.  They watched in silence, monitoring their every movement analyzing if there was any underlying meaning they were sending to each other through a secret code.   They too, just like the media and public, were curious to know if something was going on and if they were more than just friends.  They just looked too comfortable on screen to be friends, everyone sensed it but were afraid to ask.  They were all in the entertainment business and fully understood the don’t ask, don’t tell policy.

‘Shin Hye ah, pali pali! We are waiting!’ Woo Bin mocked her while moving towards the switch to dim the lights to mimic the setup of the closet used for their infamous kissing scenes.

‘He’s too tall.  I can’t do it today I’m not wearing heels, I’m just in sneakers.  Maybe we can take a rain check and continue this at the wrap up party tomorrow night?’ she whined hoping that they would give her a free get out of jail card.

Woo Bin walked over to Min Ho who had leaned his back up against the wall bracing himself for Shin Hye’s next moves.  Woo Bin smacked his lips a few times and shook his head at Min Ho, taking his two hands he placed them on Min Ho’s shoulders and pushed him down so that he and Shin Hye were at eye level.  Woo Bin took two steps back and stared at Min Ho like he was admiring his masterpiece, he then turned his head towards Shin Hye ‘Here you go princess, ottoke?’

He raised his eyebrows while smirking at Min Ho and retreated back to his seat to enjoy the show.

Aish! I can’t believe being your wingman isn’t enough. Now, I have to play cupid too! Hyung you better get your act together.  Don’t waste my efforts!

Min Ho dropped his gaze towards her with his playful eyes and raised both of his hands to his chest.  She looked at him with a wary gaze, closed her eyes, took a few steps forward to close the distance between them, in and inhaled a deep breath of air and pushed her hands onto his pinning them to the wall. 

Cluck, the sound of his hand hitting the wall was heard throughout the dimly lit silent room.  The crew was staring intently at them, without blinking their eyes, waiting impatiently for what was to come next.  Min Ho wanted to so badly smile as he was relishing her attempt at being assertive but he didn’t want to ruin the mood and besides he needed to get into the character of Cha Eun Sang, so he pressed his lips tightly together and diverted his gaze to her lips to prevent her from catching his giddiness expression. 

Shin Hye ah I smell your lavender scented hair.  Pali, move in closer I want to feel the soft strands of your hair against my face.  Pali! Pali! Don’t tempt me I don’t know how much more I can take this.  If you don’t start moving I will have to turn you around and press you up against the wall.  Pali!

As he stood there waiting impatiently for her to inch closer, she felt her heart beating like it was going to jump out of her chest.  She took a few breaths to try to calm herself down for what was to come.

Park Shin Hye, calm down….inhale, exhale, inhale, exhale.  You can do this, you are a veteran actress with 10 years of experience under your belt.  Just treat this like a casting call.  Ok (1) open your eyes (2) take 3 steps forward to close the space (3) tippy toe to meet his gaze and tantalize him.  3 steps, it’s a piece of cake, simple…easy.  You can do it! 3, 2, 1…action!

Just like that she opened her eyes, her heart still beating like it was about to have a heart attack and took three steps forward putting her and Min Ho no more than a few inches apart from each other.  She raised the front of her feet just a tad bit to tip toe an inch or two higher to mimic Kim Tan’s actions during the air kiss scene, they locked eyes and she noticed he wasn’t staring at her face but her lips.  Shocked by the revelation, her eyes grew wide and her heart beat even faster and louder.  She quickly took in a deep inhale to calm things down inside of her but it only exacerbated the problem because of their proximity her sen
