Chapter 7

Your POV

How hard will it be to act like we just met each other? Okay Soohee. Be an actress for a moment, like mom.

Sooyeon

They're here everyone! Soohee, over there is your changing room, I already set up what you'll wear inside. Your mom will help you.

Your POV

As my mom and I entered my dressing room, she held my face again.

Mom

Hun, are you alright? If you don't want to do this, I can make up an excuse.

Soohee

I'm alright mom. I'm doing this for aunt Sooyeon, and for you.

Mom

*smiles* I'm proud of you already. I won't go anywhere. Just look at the camera and just imagine that he's not there.

Your POV

I want to tell mom that it will be hard to pretend he's not there, because, hello? That's my ex boyfriend. And he's hot! Even though I hate

Your POV

to admit it. He's even more appealing than I remember.

Soohee

I got this mom. Don't worry.

Your POV

I finished dressing up, and then walked out of my dressing room.

Your POV

Then I saw Bang Chan sitting in the corner and holding a bunch of flowers while talking to the photographer. Why is he holding some flowers?

Your POV

I walked to Aunt Sooyeon and asked her about it.

Soohee

Eonni. Why is Bang Chan holding a bunch of flowers? Does he need it for the shoot?

Sooyeon

Actually, yes. There's one scene that you two will be shot as a couple or something. It will look amazing!

Your POV

Okay. That made me nervous. I'm shaking again and I went back to my dressing room. Taking deep breaths.

Your POV

Since we're not starting yet, I called Lia...

*calling Lia*

Lia

Hellooo~

Soohee

L-lia, can I talk to you for a little while?

Lia

Even though I can't see you, I know when you're shaking. What's wrong? Didn't you say you had a photoshoot today?

Soohee

Yeah, I'm here right now.

Lia

Are you nervous or something? You don't have to be! Just be like your mom. It fits that you'll be a model as well. Like mom like daughter.

Soohee

It's just, I have a problem. I didn't know I'll be having a photoshoot with a guy.

Lia

Oh dear. Okay calm down. At least you don't know the guy, just be a professional model and ignore him if you want.

Soohee

That's the problem...I know him Lia..

Lia

Wait what? Who is it?

Soohee

It's... it's umm..

Lia

Deep breaths, and then tell me...

Soohee

*exhales* Bang Chan's here...

Lia

*silence*

Soohee

Even though I can't see you, I know your mouth is open wide...

Lia

I can't believe it. He came back?! I'm gonna kill him! After hurting you! I will slap this guys face until he looks like a handsome tomato!

Soohee

*laughs* Wow I can't believe that made me feel better.

*knocks*

Bang Chan

Soohee?

Lia

Oh my gosh! That's him? That's his voice right?! Let me speak to him so he will not mess with you!

Bang Chan

Soohee your aunt said we're starting.

Lia

Let me talk to him!

Soohee

Okay Lia chill, I just wanted someone to talk to. You made me feel better, but I gotta go, or else my mom will be mad.

Lia

Oh jeez. You gotta go, your mom is twice as scary like you when she's mad. Goodluck babe! Make me proud.

Soohee

Bye. See you at school.

Your POV

I walked out and saw they are waiting for me. Oops. Did I take too long? Mom seems to understand so she just smiles.

Mom

Come here now Soohee. You too Chan.

Your POV

We walked to the set and waited for instructions.

Bang Chan

Are you okay?

Soohee

Yeah. I'm fine.

Sooyeon

Okay you two. Start posing. Just go with the flow and pose for the camera.

Soohee

I didn't want to disappoint mom so I just followed the lead. I also remembered some of her poses so I got it covered.

Your POV

After a few poses, Bang Chan put his left arm on my shoulder, like we're a couple posing.

Sooyeon

Oh wow that's a nice shot. Stay like that Chan. Soohee, hold his hand that is resting on your shoulder and lean your head to him a little.

Your POV

As eonni instructed us, my hand and head moved on it's own and followed the instructions. Like it has a memory of what happened before.

Your POV

Bang Chan and I used to have long walks together like this. His arms around me and my head resting on his shoulder.

Sooyeon

Perfect! Just like I visioned. Good job you two. Now Chan, get these flowers and then think of a romantic shot.

Bang Chan

Can I just take one?

Sooyeon

Sure. It's up to you.

Your POV

Bang Chan grabbed one and then faced me. He walked a little closer and the cameras keep shooting repeatedly as he's doing his thing.

Your POV

He looked at me directly and smiled a little, then puts the white rose behind my ear.

*flashback*

Bang Chan

Hey wait, let's stop walking for a sec.

Soohee

Okay, need to rest?

Bang Chan

No. Wait here, look at that!

I looked at where he's pointing and saw a lovely white flower. He picked it and walked back towards me.

Bang Chan

I just imagined it would look good on you. Let me put it on.

Soohee

Wow Bang Chan when did you became so sweet? *laughs*

Bang Chan

Hey! I'm sweet all the time you know!

He placed the flower behind my ear and then he kissed me.

Bang Chan

You look lovely Soohee.

Soohee

Wow Did I mentioned that I love you?*laughs*

Bang Chan

*smiles* You did, and I love you too.

*flash*

Sooyeon

Well done! That was a lovely scene. I might start to ship you two.

Mom

Eonni! You'll make them feel awkward.

Sooyeon

Oh sorry! Carry on.

Your POV

I looked at Bang Chan and he's still looking at me. Maybe he remembered it as well...

*after the shoot*

Sooyeon

Well done everyone! Especially to these two.

Your POV

Aunt Sooyeon hugged me and kissed my forehead.

Sooyeon

I'm proud of you Soohee. Thank you for doing this. You remind me of your mom when she's at your age

Mom

Wow, you talk about me like I'm dead or something.

Sooyeon

No! Wow Krystal I know you're alive and breathing.

Bang Chan

Excuse me, I'll go now. My mom called and asked if we're done.

Sooyeon

Oh sure dear! Thank you for coming! I'll call your mom later and thank her as well. You did well.

Bang Chan

Thank you eonni. If you need me again, just ask.

Sooyeon

Sure! Thank you again Bang Chan. Soohee can walk you out.

Soohee

Wait what? He can walk out on his own.

Mom

Be nice dear. Just do what your aunt has told you.

Chan and I went out and we walked over to his car.

Bang Chan

Okay. I guess I'll see you when I see you Soohee. This was... unexpectedly fun.

Soohee

Oh. That's good. Goodbye Bang Chan.

Your POV

As I walked backwards, he grabbed my arm, pulled me towards him and wrapped me in a tight hug.

Your POV

Surprisingly, I'm not shaking anymore. I kinda saw this coming. I patted his back and wrapped my other arm around his waist.

Your POV

He still smells the same...

Bang Chan

Wow Soohee. You still smell the same.

Your POV

Okay. So he inhaled my scent as well.

Soohee

I don't change my perfume. So... Yeah.

Bang Chan

That's cool. Well, goodbye Soohee.

Your POV

He removed the flower behind my ear and took it.

Bang Chan

I'm gonna keep this one as a remembrance of what happened today.

Soohee

Oh. Sure. Keep it. Goodbye.

Your POV

He smiled then I watched him enter his car and drove off. I went back inside until it's time for us to go home as well.
