"We are almost done with filming, what do you say, I managed well, didn't I?" Jisoo asked Haein while he drove her home after another day of filming. It's been months and they are reaching the final scenes.
"Sure, when you aren't hiding in a storage room." Haein muttered sarcastically. "I told you to keep it professional."
"You know??" Jisoo squeaked. If he noticed, who else noticed?
Haein sighed, accelerating the car. "If this gets out, they could accuse you of sexual harassment. You know what else could happen? The media can portray you as unserious and more vile words. This is your first big role Jisoo, don't waste it, you only debut once."
He was right of course. She knew that. She just became a bit greedy. She wanted to be an actress but she also wanted to continue being intimate with Jennie.
If she had to choose, she would obviously choose acting since Jennie was not her girlfriend but as long as she didn't have to choose, she tried to ignore the risks.
She didn't respond to him, she just exited when he parked at her house and went in. Seulgi and Jihyo were already there since they normally hang out during the weekend.
"I already planned your schedule for the promotion." Jihyo gave her an USB Stick after Jisoo changed her clothes and sat with them.
"It's that big?" Jisoo asked since her friend apparently made many files.
"We are going all out." Jihyo confirmed. "You will be with Mino during most gigs."
Jisoo sighed, she even had to endure his presence after the filming. Hopefully he won't act like he is her boyfriend or something. That would be so annoying.
She hated thinking about him more than about Jennie when they broke up. At least Jennie respects her, he is just doing whatever he wants.
During the next day she wanted to speak with him about the promotion and the final scenes because they were more intimate and involved kissing, even a bed scene.
To her surprise he was also searching for her.
"Hey Jisoo." He greeted her sickingly sweet. "Mind coming with me to my private room? There is something I want to talk about."
Jisoo nodded and followed him, he closed the door behind her and immediately pinned her against the door.
"I saw you leave the storage room... The director with you..." He leaned to her ear and whispered, his chuckle tickling her skin.
At this point who hasn't seen them leave the storage room? She groaned internally.
"So what?" She pushed his chest and scoffed.
"So," He didn't budge, now facing her with a smirk. "I want you to stop that relationship. I want to switch places with her."
Jisoo laughed, giving him a harder shove. He was forced to take one step back.
"Will you ever get a clue? I'm not interested in you." Jisoo crossed her arms.
"I just thought if you gave her another chance even though she is your ex, you might give me another one too." He grinned, removing the distance between them and stopping her from grabbing the door handle.
"That's none of your business." Jisoo glared at him. "Even with all things considered I'd never choose you over her." She told him seriously.
"Oh but you will. You will choose to go out with me, kiss me, and more." His hands were placed on her shoulders, holding her in place.
"You wish." Jisoo rolled her eyes.
"If you don't, I will tell everyone about your relationship with the director. And one of you will be fired for sure." Mino smiled, knowing he had the upper hand.
Jisoo froze in her spot. She didn't want Jennie to lose her job and she didn't want to lose this opportunity either.
"What do you want?" Jisoo queried, narrowing her eyes on him.
"You."
He responded, his hands moving to her cheeks and tilting her head. She knew what followed next and she didn't push him away even if she wanted to. His lips covered hers as he kissed her deeply, re-exploring every inch of her mouth.
She knew him. He would get tired of her soon. He was just jealous because he saw her with Jennie. That's also how it was in the past. He dumped her but after seeing how intimate they were he wanted her back and once they broke up, he lost interest again.
She knew that would happen again. She just had to play along until the drama airs, so he keeps his mouth shut.
Jisoo couldn't help but imagine she was kissing Jennie instead. She hated his scent which was a mix of cigarettes and shaving foam.
•••••
"I promise you there won't be a kissing scene. You should come and watch the play." Jisoo told her girlfriend as they were sitting on the yard of the campus.
"It's okay with me even if there is one. If you told me beforehand that would be nice though." Jennie hummed as Jisoo grabbed her hand put it on her lap.
"That's not true. Remember when I kissed Suho when we played Romeo and Juliet?" Jisoo reminded teasingly. "You sulked for a whole week."
"Because you didn't give me a heads up!"
Jennie pouted, remembering how hurt she felt. Not exactly at Jisoo, she knew they were acting, but she was still jealous. It was her first time seeing her do such a scene after all.
"I'm sorry." Jisoo rubbed the back of Jennie's palm with her thumb and wrapped her free arm around her.
Jennie nestled her head on Jisoo's shoulder. "That's not all. I told my siblings I was watching my girlfriend but they didn't believe me, so I took them along. When you kissed him they especially didn't believe me you were my girlfriend..."
Jisoo couldn't help but laugh, earning a light slap on her thighs from her girlfriend.
"It was so embarrassing!" Jennie nuzzled her red cheeks on Jisoo's shoulder.
Jisoo fished Jennie's phone out of her pocket while Jennie still had her face buried in her shoulder and her eyes closed. Jisoo then took a picture of them while she planted a soft kiss on Jennie's puffy cheek, closing her eyes.
Jennie raised her head, blinking at the other. "My phone?"
Jisoo nodded, sending a message before returning it to Jennie.
The brunette looked at the photo she sent to Joohyun and Daniel.
"That's so extra." Jennie giggled.
"How about a lip lock next?" Jisoo teased, puckering up her lips.
"I won't sent them that." Jennie placed her index finger on Jisoo's soft lips and shook her head.
Jisoo hugged Jennie tightly and kissed all over her face, eliciting a few giggles out of her while she tried to wriggle out of her arms.
"So will you watch me?" Jisoo asked again.
"Of course." Jennie gave her a gummy smile and pecked her lips. "I'm honestly glad there won't be too many touchy scenes though."
"Oh I know. You hate sharing me." Jisoo grinned as Jennie rolled her eyes at her.
"Also Mino, I don't like him at all. He is rude to you." Jennie told her honestly.
"I dislike him too." Jisoo raised her hand and Jennie gave her a high five.
That's why Jisoo asked the writer to scrap out the kissing scene. She didn't like him and her girlfriend disliked him too. That was enough reason for her.
Later she acted, all dolled up with a huge smile on her face which only became bigger when she spotted Jennie in the crowd.
She winked at her and saw Jennie blush slightly. So cute, Jisoo loved her a lot.
Everything went fine and Jisoo continued looking at Jennie from the corner of her eyes, wanting to see her reactions.
She was sitting with Seulgi, Jihyo and her siblings. She can already imagine Jennie complain later to her about being the third wheel. For now she sometimes giggled at a few scenes, at others her mouth went wide but as for now, she was completely frozen and so was Jisoo.
She hugged Mino and just when the curtain closed the man kissed her. It was supposed to end, he wasn't supposed to do that.
Jisoo stood there very stiff like a statute as his lips moved against hers shamelessly. Jisoo's eyes were busy searching for her girlfriend.
Jennie looked at them wide-eyed. Her mouth opening in shock. She saw confusion flash through her eyes, then hurt.
As soon as the curtain closed Jisoo pushed him away and took her costume off, then she ran outside and searched for her girlfriend, trying to explain.
"Jen!"
Jisoo found the girl, hugging her sister at the parking lot. She could see Seulgi and Jihyo in one car and Daniel in another. Apparently they were waiting for her.
When she stood in front of her, she panted and tried to catch her breath. She opened her mouth but as Jennie turned to her and she saw tears pooling in her eyes, she forgot everything she wanted to say.
"You got some nerve." Joohyun spoke up instead and scoffed.
Seulgi left her car and tried to calm the girl down. She convinced her to let Jisoo speak to Jennie alone, so they went back and pretended not to see them.
"J-Jennie, I'm sorry." She wrapped her arms around the shivering girl and blanketed her with them. "I-I told him not to. He improvised again. You need to believe me..." She spoke full of frustration. "I won't ever act with him again, I promise! Please don't cry..."
Jennie sniffled. "I-I'm sorry for overreacting... It was a good play.." She said with a hoarse voice. "You were pretty... so pretty. A-And you acted so well..."
Jisoo's lips quivered as she hugged the girl tighter and placed a kiss on her forehead, trying to convey her love to her.
"I loved it." Jennie told her, locking eyes with her. She wanted to appreciate her girlfriend's work instead of being jealous.
"I love you." Jisoo pecked her small nose.
"I love you too." Jennie smiled, a remaining tear rolling down her cheek.
Jisoo kissed it away and nuzzled her nose against her swollen cheek.
"No more surprises. When I tell you there won't be any touchy scenes, there won't be. Otherwise I will tell you beforehand. Do you believe me?" Jisoo asked, a bit insecure.
"I believe you." Jennie assured her, pulling her in for a soft kiss that gave both of them the comfort they needed.
