Chapter Text
"Can't believe the drama was such a huge success!" Their manager, Mr.Park says, as he sits down next to Euijoo and Nicholas in the meeting room.
Their CEO, Mr.Yohan gives them a round of applause immediately, a wide smile across his face. "I just knew it that pairing these two would bring huge success!"
Euijoo forces a smile, while side eyeing Nicholas who kept sending playful winks in his direction. One of his hands were resting on Euijoo's thigh, but there were too many people around them right now for Euijoo to start a fight over it.
"Euijoo and I just have chemistry naturally" Nicholas adds on, with a playful smirk.
Euijoo shoots a death glare in his direction, before immediately putting up a polite smile for everyone.
"Tonight at your guys fancon, we will be announcing the next drama you people will be doing" Mr.Yohan says.
Euijoo widens his eyes. "Another drama?"
"Of course" Mr.Yohan smiles. "Fans are totally loving the chemistry, and your guys ship popularity is insane! It would be a dumb move to not cash this chemistry right now! So we are immediately starting with another drama!"
"That's perfect!" Nicholas says, the smirk not leaving his lips.
Euijoo had no choice but to agree. The job was well paid, even though he had to tolerate the most annoying man on earth as his on screen partner.
His last drama with Nicholas was a huge success, but none of the fans knew how hard it was for him to film that. Nicholas would get on his fucking nerves all the time.
He still remembers the first time they had to film a kiss scene, Nicholas asked the director to film it almost 20 times.
"I think Euijoo needs more practice sir, he really isn't doing it well" Nicholas had said after the first take.
The director had rewinded the shot, and then nodded. "I think you're right Nicholas, we will film it again"
Nicholas turns to look at a fuming Euijoo, with his eye brows furrowed. "What?"
"I did it just fine!" Euijoo argued.
"Nah" Nicholas shook his head. "You really don't know how to kiss"
"I do!" Euijoo was fuming.
"Pour more feeling into it" Nicholas said.
So Euijoo did it again. This time, he placed his hands on the back of Nicholas's neck as Nicholas slowly connected their lips together.
A few seconds later, Nicholas pulled away even before the director said cut.
"Euijoo is not doing it properly sir" Nicholas had complained again.
"What am I not doing properly?!" Euijoo stared at him in disbelief.
"You kiss with your mouth closed" Nicholas rolled his eyes. "Our characters are supposed to be making out, with feelings. But you're like a fish"
"A fish?!" Euijoo widens his eyes, offended.
"Okay guys" the director cuts in. "Take number 4?"
Euijoo glares at Nicholas, before aggressively pulling on his neck. This time when the director said action, Euijoo kissed him aggressively, to the point Nicholas couldn't breathe and had to break in between.
"Director-nim, Euijoo is being too much. He's abusing my lips here!" Nicholas complains.
Euijoo stares at him in utter disbelief. Nicholas was totally pissing him off right now.
So they filmed again. And again. And again.
It was the 20th take now, both of their lips bruised by now, Nicholas's ears tinted red, but Euijoo was fuming with anger, as he parted from the kiss this time.
"Okay cut!" The director says. "I think the last two shots were good! Let's wrap up"
Euijoo glares at Nicholas, who was smirking at him after the director said to wrap up. Euijoo stood up first, wiping his sleeves across his lips.
Fucking asshole.

They both were getting ready for the fancon, as stylists did their hair in the dressing room. Nicholas was taking photos in the mirror, Euijoo stared at him from the corner of his eye.
"Stare all you want, I am your man after all" Nicholas says, playfully raising his eyebrows.
Euijoo rolls his eyes. "Shut up already"
"Once we get out there, you have no choice but to stick to me" Nicholas teases again. "You can't disappoint the fans now can you?"
"I can surely strangle you before we even get there" Euijoo shoots at him.
"Oh yes, please choke me" Nicholas says, winking at Euijoo which further fueled to his anger.
"I swear to god, if you don't shut your bitch ass up-"
"So guys, how much longer?" Their manager, Mr.Park walks in.
"I am ready sir, this princess is taking too long with the hair" Nicholas says, pointing towards Euijoo.
"I am not!" Euijoo defends.
"Get in there within five minutes, the host has arrived" Mr.Park informs before disappearing out of the room.
Nicholas stands up from his place, to stand behind Euijoo, smirking as he leans down. "Looking pretty today"
Euijoo scoffs, shoving him away. "Get away"
"I am serious" Nicholas says. "Once we get out there, I will make sure to turn you into a blushing mess in front of the fans"
"You do know I turn red because you piss me off, not because I am flustered" Euijoo glares.
"You surely do, darling" Nicholas teases him again, grabbing his chin with his fingers only for Euijoo to swat his hands away, exhaling in anger.
-
Once they are out on stage, Euijoo starts with his oscar winning acting, by pretending to look in love with Nicholas. Fan service was a huge thing in the bl industry, and he couldn't let the fans know about how much he wishes to unalive his partner.
"Juju, you look really beautiful tonight" Nicholas compliments, taking one of his hands in his own.
The fans start screaming at them, it was making Euijoo's ears hurt. Everyone was absolutely crazy for them. He put up with the act of being flustered by Nicholas's actions.
"You too Nicholas" Euijoo replies.
"You look so pretty, I could propose tonight" Nicholas continues, which makes the fans screech even louder. Euijoo is pretty sure he saw someone fall to their knees in the crowd hearing that.
Their CEO wasn't lying when he said they both have insane popularity right now.
"Woooo" the host smiles, looking at them being lovey dovey with each other on stage. "I heard there is a big news from you two, what is it? Are you guys announcing that you're dating in real life?"
The crowd once again, loses their shit at the host's comment. Nicholas hides his face, blushing like an idiot while Euijoo just stands there putting up a polite smile.
"Well" Nicholas finally answers, gaining his composure. "Only if juju accepted my proposal" he laughs before continuing. "But tonight we have some others news, and I am sure the fans would love it"
"Ooo" the host looks at them in excitement. "What is it"
"We have a new drama coming!" Nicholas breaks the news and the crowed erupts in screams and people falling over.
"Oh my god! Nicho-joo, the top tier bl couple of the year 2025, is having another blockbuster drama this year?!" The hosts says, eyes wide. "It's surely a great news for all of us"
Nicholas reaches forward to hold Euijoo's hand, and brings it up to kiss his knuckles while smiling at him. Euijoo puts up the most convincing smile, acting flustered as fans scream louder, filming clips of their moments.
-
The dressing room is empty once they are back in there after the event. Nicholas pushes Euijoo against the wall, staring at him.
"You weren't good with fan service today, it felt like I was putting all the efforts" Nicholas says, leaning close to him.
Euijoo scoffs. "You should be glad I didn't let it slip that I fucking hate your guts"
"Juju my dear, do you know it's your job?" Nicholas tilts his head sideways.
"Yeah of course, that's why I am tolerating you" Euijoo answers.
"Then do it properly" Nicholas says, as he pushes himself against Euijoo. "Or next time I will grab your neck and make out with you in front of the whole crowd, and trust me if you try pushing me away, your job will be at stake"
Euijoo scoffs, glaring at Nicholas before pushing him away. "Stop blackmailing me all the damn time"
"Maybe do your job the right way? Then I won't have to" Nicholas says, grabbing Euijoo's arms which had just pushed Nicholas away.
"Fine!" Euijoo breathes. "But get away from me"
"Get used to me being this close darling" Nicholas leans dangerously close to his lips. "We have another drama to film, and from what I heard, more intimate scenes than last time"
Euijoo feels heat rush to his face. He glares at Nicholas pushing him away once again. "I am a professional on set, so don't try to test my patience when we're off set"
And with that Euijoo walks out of the dressing room, to find their manager. Nicholas leans against the wall, smiling to himself like an idiot. He successfully got on Euijoo's nerves, once again.
