I saw a comment from my book 'Cover It Up!' that they wanted it to turn into a Kdrama ㅋㅋㅋ and that is where this imagine is inspired. This includes 'minor' spoilers of the book, just in case you haven't read it but is planning to (• ▽ •;)
What will happen if CIU were to have its Kdrama adaptation and you can't do anything with the jealousy because you're just the writer and will never be Baekhyun's leading lady?
--
When I found out that my story 'Cover It Up!' were to have its drama adaptation, I was beyond delighted. Of course I would be, it's been one of my major goal as a writer! I still feel euphoric even when this is the second time I'll have my story turned into reality. This is entirely different from the first one, this project is much bigger than a short film.
The production started sooner than I thought it would and next thing I know is that the filming is just around the corner. The casts to play the roles had been chosen and it was star-studded, I'm confident this will be a blast.
Today, I am joining the first script reading for the first episode. That's for being the screenwriter. As the casts read their lines, I discreetly lowered my own copy of the script just below my eyes enough to see the one sitting across me.
The main character of my book and of this drama, Byun Baekhyun.
He must have sensed me checking him out and suddenly lifts his gaze, eventually meeting mine as he said his line, "You think I can't see you staring at me?"
I was taken aback by that, eyes blinking nervously but nonetheless casually stared back down on my script and continued his line to correct him. "Earlier..."
"Earlier." he repeated.
"I was staring at you because I'm learning the dance step! Ha! You think I don't know how to do your dance? Turn the music on!" the female lead carries on with all those emotion, pitch perfectly rising the way it should, her hand even did gestures to give life to my fictional character.
I was internally whining and slightly pouting behind my book. I hate that she flawlessly said the line like she's meant for the main character or that she wrote Cover It Up! in the first place. I'm jealous that she gets to do all those scenes with Baekhyun. Although the story will start off with them just hating each other, it will eventually progress to them falling in love and the scenes will be so heart-fluttering. And he's doing them all to her!
Can my heart even take that?
But I have to be professional and leave my emotions out of this project. The most important thing is that I achieved one of my biggest goals as a writer and I get to see Baekhyun everyday, from now on.
Few days before the filming starts, Baekhyun and his lead girl were given a one whole day to spend together. That's for them to feel comfortable as they film - as what the girl told the production team. Besides, Cover It Up! is a long story (and kinda slow, I guess) and she's being reasonable.
But I can't help and overthink things. I mean, my celebrity crush is spending a day with his onscreen partner for them to get closer and comfortable. Aren't fans, at some point, sensitive to these kinds of interaction their idols get with someone? Who knows what they talked about or shared with each other to feel no wall in between them just for a drama filming?
"Oh my goodness, sit down!" Heeyeon must've been sick of watching me pacing around the living room.
"What if he falls in love with the lead girl?"
"Y/n-ah," she went up to me, placed both of her hands on my shoulders and pushed me down to sit on the couch. "You said you often caught him staring at you."
