He stared down at the woman snuggling him in bed, and wished fervently they're in a private room safe from the ogling of the production staff. It doesn't help when that woman keeps on wiggling and trying to cuddle deep into his arms. He's getting uncomfortable there, and would do anything just to kiss her once more.
The memory of the passionate kisses they've shared earlier on the previous takes stirred deep seethed lust that has stayed dormant for months...no, years! He's so acutely aware of her soft curves plastered against his hard body, wreaking havoc on his senses. Behave! He scolded himself mentally and looked around guiltily, trying to see if the staff are taking covert recording.
He jolted out of his reverie when Min Young's hand inadvertently landed on the sensitive area just below his abdomen. He quickly glanced at her, but she was sleeping, blissfully unaware of his lecherous thoughts.
He removed her hand carefully and transferred it to his waist, and hugged her closer. He inhaled deeply, drawing in the heavenly scents he came to crave. He closed his eyes and imagined they were on a secluded beach, basking under the sun with the cool water lapping gently on their feet.
Damn! You're enjoying it! He cursed silently when the director shouted "Cut." He cast an accusatory stare at him, who was smiling knowingly.
Min Young stirred and moved out of his embrace, facing away from him. He frowned and slid his hand under her shoulders, pulling her back gently towards him. She shivered uncontrollably. She nuzzled deep into the crook of his neck, and her hand tightened around his abdomen. He inhaled sharply, nearly undone. He angled his body so that they're not touching down below. She will run from here screaming surely. He mused as he arranged the blanket around them.
She awoke when she felt a finger sliding gently on her cheek. Someone's crooning at her to wake up. She doesn't want to wake up just yet. She's dreaming of him kissing her out of her senses in the middle of a busy street. All of the people gathered around them were applauding and shouting in encouragement. She smiled contentedly. If only this someone would just go away...
He smiled when he saw two lines furrowed between her brows. "Come on, sweetheart. You've got to wake up."
Her eyes fluttered open, and panicked almost immediately when she stared into his honey dark eyes. Is it real? I thought it's a dream! She moved restlessly and exhaled a sigh of relief when the noisy room registered in her sleep befuddled brain.
"I'm sorry." She said huskily. "How long was I asleep?"
"It's nearly thirty minutes." It's actually one hour and a half, but he's not telling her.
"Thank God." She exclaimed and looked at the Director in bewilderment when he strolled towards them saying it was a good take.
"We were able to shoot the scene while you're down under." She looked more appalled, and scrambled to get up.
"Easy. You might fall down. You're not fully awake yet."
Min Young shook her head. "I'm so sorry. That's so unprofessional of me. You should have woken me up." She spared him a guilty look.
Chang Wook sighed as she got up. Game's up. He could not do anything, but to follow suit. He slid his arms into his thick jacket while watching her being assisted into hers by her personal assistant. She sent him furtive glances, and looked away immediately when he caught her. He's sure she's looking flushed, and thought she's still not well.
"Look. If you're still not up to it, I can ask the director if we can shoot the other sequences first."
She looked at him with surprise. She automatically covered her face with her hands, as she realized he must have mistaken her beet red face to her illness.
"No. I'm okay. Let's do it." She picked up her script and flicked through the pages.
Chang Wook smiled and ambled towards the Director.

They're kissing again. He's not complaining though. He liked it a lot, but he's worried what Min Young might think. He doesn't want her to think he's taking an advantage of the situation – which is half the truth. Who can blame him?
So he asked her what she thinks of the scenes. "They are alright. They are demanded of in the scripts. It's not as if Song Ji Na put them out capriciously just to please the viewing public."
"That's what I thought. She said they are to show the emotional growth of Jung Ho. I just thought you might get offended." He was smiling, but staring intently at her face.
"No." She tried not to squirm.
"What's the matter? Is there something in my face?" Why oh why his stares making me gooey inside. Her heart's beating fast, and she gripped on her script as if a lifeline. She laughed self-consciously and fought the urge to cover her face. No. Min Young, get hold of your herself. Don't get into that trap again!
Chang Wook shook his face, but didn't look away. "I'm just thinking we're nearly finished here and we never had gone out for a meal. I mean, just the two of us, away from the prying eyes of the crew and staff."
She gaped at him in surprise. "Why?" She asked, trying to clear her throat when her voice croaked out.
He chuckled, pleased that he's making her uncomfortable. "Nothing, I just thought it would be nice if we could go out alone for once. Unless, there's someone's holding you up?" He asked her smoothly while watching her conflicted emotions playing across her face. He's certain this is not the case, as she's single and unattached the last time he checked.
Min Young gazed at his hopeful smile. "I'm sorry." She said after a while, avoiding his stare. Oh please don't look at me like that.
"Why?" He was still smiling, but his eyes gently probing.
"We'll take a rain check. I'm busy and I know your schedule's fully packed. Shall we do it maybe after the show?"
"Alright then," they both knew it was a flimsy excuse, but he did not say anything. He knew her by now that it has nothing to do with their schedules.
Min Young didn't know she's holding her breath until that moment, and smiled hesitantly.
"Would you like a drink? I'll get you one then we'll continue where we left of." She stood up waving the script. She did not wait for his reply and tried an enormous effort to walk normally while she's actually in desperate need to get away from him.
