Don’t Misunderstood! - Chapter 92

The eyes of the two met unexpectedly and both of them acted like a frightened cat especially Klein

The poor guy’s ankle was already swollen and the eye contact caused him to move away from Calix at a lightning speed

Klein’s eyes widened as he can feel himself falling down the ground and out of panic, Calix grabbed his arm and hurriedly pull him to himself

The two lose both of their balance but instead of Klein hurting himself, Calix’s body became his cushion

Calix hissed from the pain in his back but his instincts had him check for Klein’s condition first

“Are you okay?!” Calix asked worriedly while his hands unconsciously touched Klein all over his body to check for any signs of injury

‘Eh? Soft? ‘ Calix was surprised at the sensation in his hand and when he realized what he was doing, he saw Klein’s head was already lowered down

Even then, the embarrassed guy wasn’t able to hide the redness from his cheeks, causing Calix to gulp loudly that can be heard by the both of them

‘Damn it! He’s so cute! ‘ Calix cursed inside him. The contrast between Klein’s fierce and ‘cutie’ side had him go crazy

“S-sorry” Calix apologizes as he took back his devilish hands that were inching to further touch the shy guy on the floor with him

“I-it’s fine… t-thank you” Klein gave his gratitude while staring down at the floor. His heart was not doing him a favor as it feels like it would explode any moment from now

“I-I see …” Calix replied and an awkward silence reigned between the two. Neither of them knows what to say or do and they stayed seated on the floor

Since the room they were in is a very small one that was only several square meters in size, any sound they made have been amplified

Their heartbeats mixed in the air, creating a melody that just made both of them more nervous than before

Moments passed with the two staying at their current position when Klein winced. The adrenaline in his body calmed down again and the pain from his ankle assaulted his senses

“What happened?” Calix questioned worriedly and Klein pointed at his foot

“Is it swollen?” Calix asked another question and Klein nodded his head

“Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Calix said with a sigh before moving from his position. He went to Klein’s foot and removed the shoes the man was wearing

“W-wait! D-don’t!” Klein protested. He was confident about his hygiene but he was still worried that his foot might smell unpleasant

He doesn’t know why but he absolutely doesn’t want a smelly foot in front of Calix

“I’m just checking it” Calix said gently. He looks calm from the outside but he badly wanted to smash his head in the wall already

How could a foot look this good? Klein’s skin tone was really even. Even his foot was fair white in color as if someone created him out of snow

There were even some red blush in it that just made Klein’s foot looks more tempting

Somehow, Calix wants this foot to be placed either behind his hips or on top of his shoulder

‘Fuck! For the nth time, get a hold of yourself! ‘ Calix internally scolded himself again and due to frustration, he even slapped his own face, a bit strong at that

“W-why are you slapping yourself?” Klein asked weirdly and the tip of Calix’s ears reddened, his mind working at full capacity to help think of an excuse

“I-I… t-there’s a… m-mosquito. Y-yeah, m-mosquito” Calix responded awkwardly and he heard Klein’s light laughter that was akin to music in his ears

“Pfft, you’re so silly!” Klein said with a laugh not knowing that his laughing expression was very cute and handsome

It captured Calix’s heart and the guy can’t help but stare at him, engraving this scene of laughter into his mind

After some time, Klein stops laughing and he became embarrassed again after realizing a certain someone was making holes in his face

“W-why are you staring at me” Klein lowered his head out of shyness and nervousness again

“Nothing, you just look cute” Calix unexpectedly blurted out and even he was shocked at what he had said

“Y-you… you have a glib tongue” Klein said while burying his face into his knees. He was afraid to show what a mess his face was just because of a single compliment

‘W-what’s with this cuteness attack? I’m really going crazy! ‘

Calix was barely stopping himself from kissing this guy but Klein wasn’t making things easier for him

On the contrary, the more Klein acts like this, the more Calix desired him

‘Calm down… deep breaths’ Calix took repeated breaths to calm his raging insides and decided to just check on Klein’s ankle

Although it looks normal on the outside, when Calix touches it, Klein winced again. It seems like it was only a bit swollen but nothing too serious

“Can you endure the pain? I don’t know when they will be back to get us”

Their ‘good groupmates’ leave them behind. They might be shooting other scenes since most have the Imperial Palace as the setting

Instead of losing time because of their awkward star actors, it was better to just shoot other scenes. And to make sure that the ‘protagonists’ would work with their problems, no one was guarding outside their doors

They were completely alone and can only hope that their group would come to get them sooner than later

“I can handle it” Klein answered. The pain was not that great for him to need painkillers

“Tell me if you can’t take it anymore, if we don’t have any choice, I’ll just break the door”

“Pfft, do you even have the strength for that?” Klein questioned while shaking his head. How easy would it be for someone to use brute force to break a whole door?

“Oh? Do you want to bet about that?” Calix asked with a grin

“No thanks, do you want to pay for the damage that you would cause?”

“If it meant that I’ll prove how strong I am, I’ll gladly pay”

The earlier awkward atmosphere between the two has lighted considerably after they joke around like this

Although Calix wants to have a ‘deeper’ relationship with Klein, he thinks that what they have already isn’t bad

“Anyway, it’ll be hard for you to continue standing. Let’s just seat here” Calix suggested and Klein nodded his head

The two moved and rested their backs into the wall

“So … do you want to rehearse our script? We can just cite out dialogue” Calix suggested again

Since the purpose of them being locked here is to fix this awkwardness, it would be good if they rehearse and are even given copies of the script

“Sounds good!”

Hence, the two started practicing. They were sitting on the floor but they still cite their dialogue and act

Their faces and bodies showed the variety of expressions and actions that they should have shown in the shooting earlier

It was like the heavy burden in their hearts have been lightened to the extreme. No one was a witness to it but they are really doing good right now

“Sigh… they should have at least given us some food and water” Calix complained after the two of them decided to take a break

Both of them were already thirsty and tired. They might be acting while sitting but acting is not as easy as people would think. It could be incredible tiresome

“Yeah, and it’s hot in here especially with our clothes, makes me kind of sleepy” Klein agreed

They could still practice more but with the lack of water, it is better for them to not do that

Their throats might become too dry if they continue

“H-here” Calix as he pointed his lap to Klein that didn’t realize what he meant by that at first

“I-I mean… y-you can use my lap as a pillow. B-but that’s only if you want to! I’m not going to force you or anything” Calix turned into a mumbling mess, not realizing that it would be too intimate for Klein to do that

“T-that’s a bit …” Klein was unsure. He doesn’t think he could handle it if he were to lay his head in Calix’s lap

Seeing his hesitation, Calix was disheartened and he moved his head to the side

“It’s fine, it was a stupid suggestion anyway” Calix said as a reassurance but Klein can still feel that this guy was hurt

Well, why wouldn’t Calix be? He thought that hat he became closer with Klein but he remembered that they are actually not really close

Calix was sulking inside him before he felt some weight in his shoulder, causing his body to stiffen

Klein… he… he was resting his head into Calix’s shoulder that turned into an unmoving statue

“R-relax your muscles…. y-you’re too s-stiff”
