Don’t Misunderstood! - Chapter 96
It was a bit hard for Klein to act like he’s really being tickled since he wasn’t but even then, the chemistry between him and Calix made up for it
The two look good, no, perfect together, casting a beautiful scenery. They completely forgot how many cameras and audience they have behind the scene as they were both completely immersed in their roles
After some time, Calix finally stops tickling Klein much to his regret. Klein doesn’t have much extra fats in his body but ‘touching’ him would give people a pleasant sensation
He was soft in some areas but also firm in others. It’s like his body as a perfect proportion of softness and hardness
If it was just Calix, he would want to continue tickling Klein
As the ‘prince’ just finished his swordsmanship training and he even got tickled almost to death, his body loses its strength
As such, Clyde’s head fell down. His face would collide at the Young Duke if he wasn’t able to stop himself in time
However, even though Prince Clyde prevented the collision, his face still went dangerously close to Ryden
They were only inches away from each other
The cameramen went close to them to zoom in into their perfectly sculptured faces
Earlier, the two were just immersed in their roles. But now, it wasn’t merely an acting
This scene is already between Klein and Calix, not Prince Clyde and Young Duke Ryden
This wasn’t the first time that their faces were close to each other but just like the first time, their insides were still being ‘tickled’
Butterflies flew inside their stomach, giving them an unexplainable sensation
From all the times that the two kissed each other, it was always Calix that is on top or the one that becomes the attacker
This time, Klein don’t know what got into him but his body moved on its own as he inched even closer to Calix
His actions were perfectly inclined with the script but Klein didn’t inch closer to Calix because of the script
It was Klein and not Prince Clyde that did that
Calix can almost hear his heart thumping loudly. At this scene, both he and Klein should slowly inched closer with each other
But now, Calix was letting Klein all do the work. He was always the one that kisses Klein, he wondered what it would feel if he was at the receiving end
It feels like years have passed between the two of them as they stared at either the other’s eyes or lips
The tension in the atmosphere reaches its peak and Klein is only a second away from really kissing Calix. That’s how close their faces are!
However, from a distance, Liam’s face contorted before he let out a sneeze. It wasn’t particularly loud and the microphones might have not detected it but that noise still entered Calix’s ears
This scene doesn’t have a kissing part! It should only display the growing relationship between the Prince and the Young Duke
They are still not madly in love with each other but there are already great affections
After remembering that part, Calix moved his head to the side and evaded Klein’s kiss
He thought that Klein almost kisses him just because it was included in the script. As such, Calix assumed his character again
“Your Highness, we should get up now. The floor is not clean” Calix said and he didn’t even wait for Klein to answer
Just like what it says in the script, Calix slowly moved Klein’s body away from him as he took the lead of standing from the ground
This time, one camera focuses on his face or more like the emotion that he should display
Calix took a deep breath with an indescribable look on his face
At this point in the series, the Young Duke is still forced to remove his growing feelings for the Prince
He is the Heir of a Dukedom and Clyde is an exalted Imperial Prince. Both of them are people of high status and a lot of people has great expectations between them
Even if Ryden doesn’t want to acknowledge the budding seed of love between them, he still knows that it should be stopped early
As such, his face showed a complicated expression as he forcefully suppressed his own feelings
There is only a camera that focuses on Klein. His face was that of shock and disappointment
Although that expression is also according to the script, it was his genuine feelings
Klein really thought that Calix would let him kiss him. He didn’t expect Calix to avoid him in the last second
It was like Klein forgot about the fact that Calix merely acted according to the script. No, actually, he starts thinking that this was all because of the script
The incident from a week ago replayed in Klein’s mind. At that time, Calix might have given up
It was not a surprise that he wouldn’t want Klein to kiss him
Calix thought that Klein is merely acting according to the scrip and that guy don’t really want to kiss him
Klein also has the same thinking but the position was reversed
They once again misunderstood each other
Klein was sitting in the ground for such a long time that the others were already thinking about what is wrong with him
He already exceeded the expected duration of how long he should act surprised and disappointed in the floor
Fortunately, Klein’s peripheral vision still caught the cameras and his groupmates. As such, he stood from the ground and his disappointment was replaced with anger
This anger was a genuine one. He knows that he shouldn’t be angry at Calix and he was being completely unreasonable but Klein can’t help it
His heart was filled with a sour feeling. He was the one that is always pushing Calix away but he also wants that guy to continue pursuing him
Klein knows that he shouldn’t want Calix to do that. No, he shouldn’t continue to expect Calix to woo him since that guy is … even then, the sour feeling in his heart just wouldn’t go away
In anger, Klein decided to take advantage of the script
While Calix still has his back on Klein, the latter gave his leg a kick. The kick earlier doesn’t really pack any strength but the kick this time is filled with Klein’s resentment
As a result, Calix fell down to the ground due to the impact. It made his shocked expression more believable since his shock is a genuine one
“Your Highness, what are you doing?” Calix asked but he was more of asking that question to Klein rather than Prince Clyde
At this point, the Prince should be a bit teary but since the scenes aren’t just shot once since different angles are needed, Klein didn’t force himself to squeeze out droplets of tears yet
“Shut up you idiot! Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!” Klein shouted angrily and be even kicked the defenseless Calix again
“W-what did I do?” Calix asked in confusion
There are times when the audience would clap in appreciation at how believable the acting of these two is. However, what they do not know was that what they were watching is not pure acting
Calix really want to know what he did to receive Klein’s rage
“Ask that yourself, you idiot! Stupid! Idiot!” Klein continued his verbal and physical abuse, venting his anger in the process
At this point in the story, the Prince is more or less sure of his feelings. As such, he felt greatly hurt when the Young Duke avoided the kiss
As the Prince is still a spoiled and childish kid, he could only vent out his anger in this way. In some ways, he has a lot of similarities with Klein
If Henry didn’t cut the scene, Klein would still continue kicking Calix while cursing him
“Let’s take a ten minute break. Drink plenty of water!” Henry shouted and everyone starts their break
Klein ignored the pitiful man on the floor, intending to ignore him
However, Calix didn’t let him do that. The man grabs Klein’s wrist before asking the question he so badly wants to know the answer
“Are you angry? Did I do anything wrong?” Calix questioned. As far as he knows, he was having a smooth relationship with Klein
They don’t argue that much anymore and they were completely fine earlier. What did possibly go wrong?
“Nothing!” Klein shortly answered, not intending to further talk with Calix. But in fact, his answer is true
It was really not Calix’s fault that he went according to the script. Klein knew that this thing was his fault, he even hurt Calix in the process
It’s just that his mind is in a complete mess. Even he doesn’t know what he wants to happen anymore
“Come on, don’t be like that. Tell me what I did wrong” Calix almost pleaded and he also tried to guess what his fault was
The two of them were completely fine before shooting. If Calix did something wrong then it could only happen while they were shooting
