26. Relax
Because of Our Dads [Edited]
HyeoEun’s POV
That kiss really helped me with my acting. The scene was done and over with quickly. The lead actor even teased me, saying, “You’ve had some practice with your boyfriend huh.” I blushed before bowing to him. He chuckled but got serious and told me that I shouldn’t blush so easily at things like that. “If this were an interview, you would have easily given yourself away already.”

They’ll yell ‘cut’ and they’ll have you guys under the blanket after that.”
I was really uncomfortable with this, but the sunbaenim told me to relax and that he would take the lead. As the scene played out, everything was okay until he got touchy, and we weren’t even on the bed yet. I panicked and created
