Don’t Misunderstood! - Chapter 91

“Cut!” The acting director – Henry shouted as soon as Klein breaks his character

“Klein, your start was good and still has room for improvement but you became stiff after you saw your co-actor. Come on man, we are comrades here that have experienced a lot of things. No need to be shy”

‘Experienced a lot of things’ Klein knew that the thing he thought of was not what Henry meant but his mind can’t stop thinking in that direction

As a result, his cheeks blush and he could only bow his head while apologizing. That was really embarrassing

Around the set was the entire group either sitting in their own chairs or standing but they all were watching

Klein can’t believe that he would commit such an avoidable mistake. Just why did he become so nervous as soon as he saw Calix’s back?

“It’s fine, we can just repeat the scene but this time, do better, okay?”

Klein nodded his head and the shooting started again

Klein repeated his lively running scene with a big smile on his face until he saw Calix’s familiar back

“Big brother!” Klein shouted loudly while acting like a kid. His character was that of an energic child and he even jumps

Klein wrapped his arms around Calix’s neck, showing a brotherly back hug

In this scene, Klein or Clyde was still a Prince and Calix/Ryden is just the Heir Apparent of the Dukedom. They still have a good relationship with each other

Young Duke Calix is ​​like the big brother that Prince Clyde never had

The two of them were very close, evident at how the Prince can leisurely jump on the Young Duke’s back

This scene should be followed by Calix’s dialogue but now, it was his turn to stiffen

If not for the series, Klein surely wouldn’t jump at him like this. Their current position should only be intimate in a brotherly way but Calix felt that it would be better if Klein will jump at him from the front

In that way, he could hug this guy back and cherish him

‘No! I said get a hold of yourself! ‘ Calix scolded himself internally and due to the internal turmoil that he had, he wasn’t able to follow the script

“Cut!” Henry shouted again. “Calix, are you also nervous? Geez, you two don’t need to be too nervous. Just take it easy and enjoy!”

Without a choice, the scene was repeated for the third time, and only then did Calix manage to say his line

“Y-your Highness, h-how many times must I have to tell you that you couldn’t call me big brother? And Your Highness also shouldn’t jump on someone like that. W-what if you injured yourself?” Calix delivered his dialogue but it was far from being passable

This time though Henry didn’t cut the scene and let the situation unfold to see all the things that must be fixed

“T-tsk” Klein made an annoyed sound and since he was hugging Calix from behind, his breath landed on the man’s neck

Calix shuddered at that and he stiffly turned his back. He should be smiling at this scene but his smile looks completely unnatural

For a whole week, this was like the first time that Klein faced the guy he shared kisses with and his heart almost jumped from his chest

He already saw Calix earlier from a distance but looking at him this close just hits different

‘Handsome bastard, am I something unsightly that you couldn’t even look at me?’ Klein thought dissatisfied

He can see that Calix was looking at anything other than him. How annoying! Who was it again that was always pestering Klein just a week ago?

“You’re still as uptight as before!” Klein delivered his dialogue. The feelings he must convey was that of dissatisfaction but it contained genuine anger

Whether it be the acting or the delivery line of these two, it was a complete disaster. It was incomparable to the acting skills they showed back at the audition

“Oh my god, cut!” Henry shouted while already losing a great deal of patience. “I know it’s the first time for both of you but … disaster, this is a complete disaster!”

The other members agreed. They were originally looking forward to the performance of their stars because of what they showed back at the audition stage but they were not reaching even their lowest expectation

The two don’t have an excuse for that and they could only lower their heads

“You two are too awkward and stiff with each other! It’s not rare in the film industry but you two are just on another level. We have to fix that!” Henry activated his strict mode as he put his fingers into his chin

“We have to fix the awkwardness of these two. Does anyone here have any suggestions?”

Moments pass as the group was thinking of a solution and when they were about to give up, Shane raised her hand

“Director, I think they are just not used to each other yet. Why don’t we put them in the same room and have them work with their lines and acting together? They might be embarrassed to do it in front of many people, we should take baby steps first”

After giving her suggestion, Shane immediately made sure to avoid Klein’s burning gaze

She was worried for her life but … it was clear that something was going on with Klein and Calix!

Shane even witnessed them doing ‘something’ with her own eyes, she just can’t give up yet

Her friend is this close to having his first boyfriend, Shane must help with that!

“Wow, I thought you were afraid Klein would kill you for a reason you can’t even tell your boyfriend. I guess you have regained your courage?” Cain exclaimed in disbelief and Shane almost rolled her eyes

Courage my eyes! Shane can feel her legs shaking as she can sense Klein’s glare. She gave that suggestion but she’s also terrified! But what could she do? She just can’t let those two have such a bad relationship when they are close to being together!

“Great idea! I think there are really people that do this. Okay, guys, put them in a room together and make sure that they couldn’t come out unless they are intimate already!”

Some guys from the group step forward while the two star actors step back

Their faces reflect their terror before they were dragged by their own groupmates

“H-hey wait!” Klein wanted to protest but the way the group looked at him feels like they would swallow him alive if he does that

Well, the production will face delay because of them. This is just a normal reaction

While crying inside him, Klein can only let himself get dragged and be locked in a room with the person he least wants to be with

The room they were placed in was quite small, possibly former small storage at how empty it was

The group might have chosen a small room so that the two would be forced to be close to each other

That didn’t help them at all. The two just stood back to back with each other and none of them were saying anything

‘Is he angry that he was paired with me?’ Calix thought disheartened

Klein spoke his lines earlier with genuine anger. He might be that unwilling to act with Calix

Maybe if their characters don’t have many scenes and interactions, it would be fine. However, they are the main leads

They are the ones that have the most screen time and most of which were with each other

The two don’t know how to survive that

‘Why is he not saying anything? Does he dislike being alone in the same room with me? ‘ Klein thought while feeling frustrated

Although he indeed was harsh at Calix a week ago but isn’t this just too much? Why does Calix have to dislike him this much?

The two were having their own thoughts as they greatly misunderstood each other

A long moment has passed and neither of them was moving an inch from their current position when Klein groaned from the pain

Klein looked at his foot from which he can feel the pain

‘Is my ankle swollen?’ Klein asked himself. If his ankle was really swollen, it wouldn’t be that much of a surprise

After all, he was too nervous earlier especially when he jumped at Calix. Maybe he just hasn’t noticed it since he was too nervous and his mind was fully occupied by Calix

But now that Klein calmed down a bit and the adrenaline settled down, the pain caught up to his senses

Klein loses his balance because of his ankle and he falls from his back

Thankfully for him, there is someone behind him and he merely landed on Calix’s back instead of the ground

“W-what are you–?” Calix was surprised at the sudden sensation and he turned his head back to look at Klein
