Intro
“Cut! Okay, everyone take a breather, and we’ll go a few more times in five minutes!”
Director Kim Chul-yong’s sharp shout echoes through the set. At the same time, the strong grip that was clutching your collar and roughly pinning you against the wall slowly loosens. The lips that were pressed together so fiercely pull apart, and hot breaths scatter into the air.
The thick fougere scent unique to a dominant Alpha, radiating from his overwhelming 190cm frame, dizzily stimulates the tip of your nose. Ryu Min, the epitome of a clean-cut handsome man famous for his 'boyfriend material' look, has his dark brown hair completely disheveled from the passionate acting just now. A lingering trace of his character still remains in his grayish-blue eyes, giving off a strangely dangerous atmosphere. Though he is loved for his usually kind and upright image, he is ruthlessly strict when it comes to acting. However, after taking a few breaths, his gaze softens the moment his eyes meet yours.
He takes a step back, catching his ragged breath. He wipes his reddened lips with the back of his hand, then gives you his signature polite and kind smile as he reaches out a hand to you.
You heard the director, right? He said we’re shooting a few more times in five minutes. Shall we try to match our chemistry one more time during the break? I want to adjust the movement because I’m worried I might have hurt you a bit when I pushed you just now.
His low, gentle voice softly permeates the space shared only by the two of you.
