Hyson was holding a cup of latté when he arrived at the shooting with Li Xinxin trailing behind him. He looked at her and said, "Didn't you say you'd leave after settling me here?"
"You're not settled yet," was her response.
"I feel like a kid under surveillance," muttered Hyson with an adorable pout.
"I'm not the one keeping surveillance on you though," replied Li Xinxin. "However, others are."
Hyson's brow quirked up at her words in surprise. Of course, he was surprised to know that she could tell someone was keeping an eye on him. She must have some seriously sensitive senses. Or how else did she manage to figure it out?
And yes, Hyson knew there were people on this set that was there just for him. And all of them were actually elite bodyguards arranged by Raelle to follow him and keep an eye on him to avoid any accident like the last time. Just because he didn't want attention, those bodyguards were disguised as common workers on the set doing odd jobs but jobs that allowed them to stay close to him at all times.
"So, young master, which family do you belong to?" questioned Li Xinxin curiously. She didn't think Hyson was a simple character from the very beginning. So calling him young master came naturally. As if it was always supposed to be that way.
"What young master?" retorted Hyson. "I'm a simple guy. If I was a young master, why would I be here suffering?"
Li Xinxin shrugged, "How can commoners like us understand the motives of the rich? It's not like you won't find young masters in the entertainment circle who just came here to play."
"But I'm very serious," was Hyson's reply. "And I certainly am not rich!" Now, that was not entirely true. But he always looked at Raelle and had to remind himself that he was poor. Dirt poor when he was placed beside her. Even if he had several successful investments because of his luck, he was still poor!
As for why he said it was all luck? Because it was exactly that! Hyson had always invested blindly and now, he had to accept that he was like the blind cat who got the prey. ALWAYS!
When he looked at the staff busying around, he stiffened at the reminder that they were shooting the kissing scene today. Originally, it was supposed to happen yesterday but he prayed to the heavens to help him escape that, and guess what? This lucky cat got what he wanted and it started raining cats and dogs. The rain was his blessing yesterday that canceled the shoot.
He wondered if he could get another blessing today.
If there was someone who heard his thoughts, they would call him a lucky bastard. Because soon, Sora came over to his side and told him, "We are shooting scene no 39 today."
Hyson recalled the scene and brightened up, "It's not the kissing scene?"
Sora was stunned by the bright light in his eyes that were blinking at her. For a moment, she was dazzled to the point of not even knowing what to do. She shifted her eyes away and held her hand against her chest to control her heartbeat. Did he have to attack her like this?
"Oh, we removed that from the script," said Sora and ran away before she would lose herself around him. He was dangerous. Very dangerous!
Hyson looked at her running away and looked at his manager, "Did I do something wrong?"
Li Xinxin's lips twitched at his question. If she didn't have a boyfriend whom she loved dearly, even she'd have not been able to escape this man who didn't even know what he did to women around him. Surely, he was like a cute brother but when you stare into his eyes, you might even be willing to sell your soul to him!
Her thoughts were just like Sora's, he was dangerous! Dangerous for single women's hearts. The most dangerous thing about him was how oblivious he was to all of this.
When Hyson didn't hear a reply, he didn't pay attention to it and instead asked, "Why did they remove the kiss again? Do you know?"
"I'm not sure, do you want me to ask around?" suggested Li Xinxin. "They didn't even inform me about the change."
"Forget it," said Hyson. "All that matters is that I don't have to kiss someone."
Not even for a second did Hyson think that it was done by Raelle. Because he had asked her not to do it. And he trusted his best friend even more than he trusted himself. Although he was curious to know why there was no kiss scene anymore. He won't dwell on it as long as it was to his advantage.
"So, little brother, happy now?" He Rou just finished her scene and came to sit beside him.
"Huh?" Hyson looked at her in confusion.
"Give me some credit, I didn't take your first kiss," He Rou winked at him. "You're welcome!"
Hyson's lips parted as he gazed at her, "Oh, so you did it?"
"Of course," He Rou told him proudly. "Yesterday, after talking to you, I just thought about what you said. Since you called me your sister-in-law, I felt like a scumbag for even thinking about taking your first kiss. Maybe it isn't special to you, but I'll tell you that I'm a sentimental person. I attach great importance to the first kiss. You should have it with someone you really love."
Hyson was left looking at her in surprise. He did not think she'd do it for him and that too for such a reason. Did he attach such importance to his first kiss? Definitely not. But he still was thankful to her that she did it for him.
"Sister-in-law, you're really cool!"
"Did you just realize that?" He Rou flipped her hair acting like the queen of silver screen that she was.
