"Cut!!" The director said, satisfied shown on his face, "Yep, we got a roll! Good job everyone!"

  The crews began muttering to each other. Most of them commenting how impressed they are towards Chanyeol. For he was the first rookie-actor who only needed one take for kissing scene.

  Meanwhile, Chanyeol himself stepped back and bowed to the crews. He covered his face with his palms to hide his blushing face. Which causing the crews can't hold it but laugh upon his cute action.

  "What is it, Chanyeol? Are you embarrassed?" Asked Mabel Yuan, his acting partner while chuckling. She spoke in chinese slowly so that Chanyeol could understand her.

  "Very, jiejie. Am i doing it right?" Chanyeol asked back shyly.

  "Oh, you're doing fine, Chanyeol." Mabel chuckled again, "The director likes it."

  "Wah... thank god."

  "I'm impressed, honestly." Said the short-haired woman, "In my first kissing scene, i need to do eight takes to finally act it right."

  "Ah, really?" Chanyeol's eyes widened, a little surprised hearing the news.

  "Yes." Mabel nodded, "That's why, i think you're going to be a great actor."

  Her compliment made him grin, he gave a bow to Mabel, "Thank you, jiejie."

 

  While Mabel was taking her leave, Chanyeol decided to sat on a chair nearby. Obliviously smiling. Mabel Yuan is a really kind actress, she often gave acting advices to Chanyeol and treats him like her own brother. She often teaches Chanyeol chinese and cheers him up if he messes up. He finds comfort hanging around her and that's how he gets confidence during the kiss scene shooting.

 

  But of course, he can't do it perfectly without practicing it first.

 

 

 

 

  The sounds of footsteps coming near made Chanyeol raise his head. His smile widens once he saw the familiar figure, cheerfully waving at him. "Ah.. hi, noona."

  "I saw the shooting earlier. You did great, Chanyeol-ah. The crews kept complimenting you!" Said Seohyun, who is also smiling ear to ear while handing him a can of drink. By her tone, he can see that she's proud.

  "Thank you noona." He said shyly while taking the drink as Seohyun sat next to him. "When will you do your take?" He asked.

  "Uhm.. the director said the crews will take  thirty minutes break. So," Seohyun shrugged.

  "Ah, i see." Chanyeol sipped his drink and lowered down his head, while his senior casually looking around the shooting set. Various things the crews are doing at this moment. Some of them are eating their meals, some still working on cameras, some just sitting around, enjoying their rest. Silence began consuming the atmosphere between the two for about thirty seconds.

  A bit hesitating at first, Chanyeol silently turned his head towards Seohyun, who wasn't aware for his action. Chanyeol's face heatens seeing her side profile. There was a sentence he wanted to say but his throat refused him to do so.

  "Uh, noona..."

  "Yes?"

  Chanyeol cleared his throat, "Thank you for last night, by the way. Your advices are really useful."

  The girl blinked her eyes for a few times, then finally let out a soft giggle, "Well, i'm glad to help."

 

 

 

 

 

oOo

 

 

 

 

 

 "You can't go to my dorm. The members will be enraged, hehehe. How about your dorm?"

  Chanyeol grip his cloth, biting his lip nervously as he gulped. "Well.. everybody is busy in their own schedules, so there's only me, i guess."

  "Great. I'll be there in fifteen minutes, okay?"

 

  "A-alright. See you soon." He said while hanging up the call. Chanyeol stared at the wall blankly. His heart was beating fast. What should he wear? Should he cook something for her? Should he take a bath first?

 

   He inhaled deeply and tried to calm his mind. The reason Seohyun is going to his dorm is nothing but to discuss and practice the script for the shooting tomorrow. No need to exaggerate. Damn, why he has to be so nervous about it? Relax, he thought to himself.

  But, Chanyeol decided to take a short wash up and do a little cleaning, just enough to make Seohyun feel comfortable. And right on time, he heard the bell rang from his door. Instinctively, he jumped and dashed off to open the door.

 

  Seohyun stood there with a bright smile. She only wears casual grey sweaters and black knee-cut sweatpants. Having her dark hair tied up into a high messy bun and no make up was applied to her face. Chanyeol wonders how can she still manage to look beautiful. In fact, her bare-faced only made her look more fresh and innocent.

  Chanyeol smiles back, "Come in."

  "Thank you." She said while he closed the door. Seohyun faced him and brought up the script from her hands, "So, i have brought my script. Where should we practice?"

  "Yes, uhm... how about the TV room? I think it'll be more comfortable there." Chanyeol replied, "Follow me."

  While the man escorted her to the mentioned room, Seohyun couldn't help but look around in awe. EXO's dorm is far better than the previous one. 

  "Please, take a seat." Said Chanyeol politely, "Would you like to drink coffee or tea?"

  "Ah, tea would be nice." The girl answered after took her seat at the long beige couch. Chanyeol nodded, "Great. I'll be in the kitchen. Make yourself comfortable, noona."

  She chuckled, "Alright."

 

  Last time Seohyun visited their dorm was a month before they debut, giving them cheer with her group members. She remembered some part of the walls were cracking. But now, they have another floor downstairs and filled with luxurious furnitures. Seeing how success they've become, part of Seohyun feels proud. They're such sweet juniors and very strong upon the ups and downs they'd been through.

 

  After awhile, Chanyeol came back with two cups of tea and a plate of cookies. Thanking him, Seohyun took one cup and sips some. "Hmm, it's delicious, Chanyeol-ah." She complimented.

  The younger boy scratched the back of his head, grinning, "Well, glad you like it. I'm not really good at making tea."

  Seohyun chuckled and put the cup on to the table, "So, shall we begin?"

  Chanyeol nodded and took out his script. "Which scene will be taken first?" She asked.

  "Uhm.. this one. Scene 27."

  "Alright." Seohyun adjust her body to face her junior, "Let's see how you do."

 

  With that, they began their practice. Chanyeol would act out the scene and Seohyun would watch, fixing his mistakes and giving him advices, and vice versa. Even though Chanyeol ends up complimenting her most of the time because her acting was flawless.

  Deep in his mind, Chanyeol is actually glad to take the role as HuJoon in his upcoming chinese movie, So I Married My Anti-Fan (or SIMAF, for short.) Chanyeol knew he's a rookie actor and is still lacking. He still need a lot to learn. In other hand, his senior, Seohyun who is also casted in that movie, is a experienced actress. So it wouldn't be bad if Chanyeol asked her to teach him some skills, which she gladly accepted. 

  Since then, the two began meeting each other a lot to discuss about acting. Mostly in SM building because it's the safest place for them. If it wasn't because of that movie, he and Seohyun wouldn't be as close as they are now. He's glad that he has the chance to get closer with his label-mate senior.

 

  Two hours passed, Seohyun and Chanyeol has finished practicing. The girl has given him corrections and comments which convincing Chanyeol's confidence that he'll do well tomorrow.

  "I guess that's all from me. Is there anything you want to ask?" Seohyun reassures him. Looking at the younger man questionally while retying her hair.

  Well, he is confident to all scenes. Except for one. A very difficult scene he'd never done before yet very important.

 

  "Uhm.. actually," Chanyeol silently gulped, hiding his nervousness, "I still have problem with this scene." He opened a certain page and showed it to Seohyun. The bun-haired girl tilted her head, taking time to read the dialogue. Not long after, a smile that looks more like a grin was formed on her face. "Oh..." She chuckled. Chanyeol only bit his lip towards her respond.

  "What's wrong with this scene? Don't tell me you never kissed a girl before." She grinned teasingly.

  "N-No! Of course i've done that before! E-even it was a long time ago-" Chanyeol fanned his face, as he feels his cheeks are burning. "It's just... this is my first kissing scene s-so.. i'm kinda confused... of how to do it properly?"

  She laughed softly, the way Chanyeol answered it fast looked cute. "I see. Yeah, kiss scene in movies and dramas are different than real life. And also different with musicals." She replied, "But i do have the trick. Would you like me to share it?"

  Chanyeol's face brightened, "Oh, that would be great, noona! Thank you so much."

  "Okay." Seohyun cleared , "First of all, different with musicals, kissing scene in movies and dramas are rather exaggerating. You know, because the camera will shoot you up-close and all details are going to be seen, which is very important."

  "Alright."

  "There are basic steps to create a good kiss scene." Seohyun said, "In the script, you're making the first move, right? So, one, don't just reach for her lips, but try to target on her lower lip."

  "Lower lip. Got it." Chanyeol nodded.

  "Just press your lips at her bottom lip for the start." She added, "Now, try it."

  Chanyeol almost got choked by his own spit, "T-try? With who?"

  "Well, did you see any other girls around here?" Seohyun giggled, "Of course with me, silly. Is there a problem?"

  "N-no.. but.. is it really o-okay?" Chanyeol wanted to slap himself for stuttering so much.

  She sighed, "Calm down, it's just acting. If you're too nervous to act it with me then how will you handle Mabel eonnie? It's alright, Chanyeol-ah."

  She's actually got a point there, Chanyeol thought. He can't let himself look fool at the set later. "Okay then, i'll try."

  Seohyun gave him a nod, and sat closer to him. "Just pretend i'm Mabel eonnie, alright? Now try to follow my lead." She said, "Lean closer to my face slowly, tilt your head to the right, then press your lips to my lower lip."

  God, this made him nervous like crazy. Chanyeol inhaled, and do what she told. Tilting to the right, leaning closer. His heart skipped a beat once their lips touched. It last for a second until Seohyun pulls back, even if it was only enough for her to look at him.

  "Good. Now usually, the female lead would opens a bit. Once you find the gap, kiss her a little deeper by locking her bottom lip with yours." Seohyun instructed, "After that, slowly release her lips while tilting your head for the last time. And then, just do the same thing later on. Go try."

  Chanyeol gulped hard. He can feel his face burning. The way Seohyun talked about it very casually, it makes him feel embarrassed. Plus that he had to demonstrate.

  Brace yourself, Chanyeol... for the sake of the shooting. It's just practice, he thought. She had a point, if Chanyeol is already embarrassed just by practicing with her. Imagine how embarrassed he would be at the set tomorrow.

  He shivered as their lips touched again, trying to do her instructions. But then, Seohyun pulled away. "NG. Wait until i open my mouth, Chanyeol-ah." She chuckled.

  "Oops, sorry."

  So he took another try. He waited until Seohyun gave a gap, which was his cue. But maybe because he was in such hurry, Chanyeol failed again.

  "NG. Don't push it too hard. Try again." She commented.

  The third time Chanyeol tries, he succeeded until the part he releases her lips. He was too nervous, he almost pulled her bottom lip.

  "Ouch," She whimpered.

  "I-i'm sorry! Did i hurt you, noona?" Chanyeol asked in panic. He knew these stuffs would happen. He looked at her worriedly, would she still have the will to continue?

  "No, it's alright." Seohyun smiled, "Chanyeol, the steps weren't just the main thing. You need to relax and enjoy it. You know, just let it flow."

  The younger man exhaled slowly, "I understand." Their eyes met, getting ready for another practice. The words 'enjoy it' made his face burns even more. After breathing in, he leaned closer and pressed his lips against hers. Letting it stay before Seohyun opens a little. A cue for Chanyeol to kiss her deeper. 

  Enjoy it. Let it flow. Those words rang in Chanyeol's mind. Her lips were extra soft, even without anything applied on them. And has that vaguely sweet taste, which somehow motivates him in a way. The fact her lips were locking on his upper lip made his heart thumping. One side of him couldn't help but admit that he's glad he did NGs. If not, he would miss the chance to kiss his senior more than once. An opportunity his other group members would die for. Like seriously, who wouldn't want to kiss such a perfect woman like Seohyun?

   About three seconds later, both of them slowly pulls away, just until the tip of their lips before pushing back in. Now he knows why Seohyun told him to tilt his head, so he can get the perfect position. Like she'd instructed, they began doing the same action constantly. Chanyeol finds himself closing his eyes, as the two finally had their rythm in sync. To be honest, he was actually enjoying it.

  On the other hand, Seohyun grip her clothes silently. His kisses were gentle and soft, as if he was treating her lips very caringly. The details were just exactly as she told and Seohyun is surprised that he managed to succeed fast. Never did once she felt such a warm kiss from other actors. The kiss lasts for about thirty seconds whereas it should be ended ten seconds ago. Even when he pulls away, Seohyun can feel that he's hesitating. Seeing that she didn't remind him, Seohyun admitted she also lost control for a bit.

  "How's that, noona?" He asked shyly. Blushes of red glowing to his cheeks.

 

  A soft chuckle escaped from as she forms a smile, "Perfect."

 

 

 

  And so, their practice has ended. Chanyeol escorted his senior to the door, thanking her for teaching him. After saying each other goodnight, Seohyun finally left the place. Chanyeol huffed and turned around, heading to his room to get sleep. But as he reached the end of corridor, his way was blocked by two familiar men, looking at him with evil faces.

  "Park Chanyeol, you are one lucky ." Said Minseok, which was followed by Yixing's head shaking while clicking his tounge. "Yaaah.. our Chanyeollie has grown a lot, hasn't he?"

  Chanyeol smiled ear to ear, knowing the two has been watching him. "I am indeed lucky."

  "And it wasn't just once, Chanyeol. It was four freakin times!" This time, it was Minseok who's shaking his head.

  "I wonder how the others would react towards this." Yixing said.

  "Hahaha, go tell them, hyung. It won't affect me."
