Chapter 18: Pressure
The next morning was a rare day for the crew to relax, because the actors had to take part in outdoor photo shoots to promote the film. Faye and Yoko had to audition for the music video. When it was said to be relaxing, it was only relaxing in the sense that they didn't have to film, but the work continued continuously all day.
Just listening to her sing simply last night, Yoko's voice sounded really good. Unexpectedly, when she auditioned again today, when Yoko focused on singing, it sounded even better. When Wanwan asked her if she had studied singing and how she sang so well, Yoko honestly told her that she had been a trainee in a k-pop group for two years, so she had all the vocal skills.
Faye joked that even if Yoko knew about dancing, she would be surprised that she could dance, even dance beautifully and sing well at the same time. Faye looked at her dancing with wide eyes, the normally shy and quiet girl was so confident when dancing. At this point, Wan and Min were also extremely surprised. All three of them thought that Nemo Company wanted to bury Yoko, so these talents of hers were hidden and not included in the actress's profile. Galaxy Group was completely unaware of this bright gem.
Faye couldn't help but admire Wanwan's quick handling of the problem. After watching Yoko sing and dance, Wan immediately called Thomas to finalize the matter and gave him the soundtrack to practice.
On the beach, under the shade of a round umbrella, Faye Peraya was lying on a sun lounger. Whenever her scene wasn't coming up, she would rest here. Because she had to film scenes at the beach today, Faye kept her black one-piece bikini and only put on a long-sleeved shirt over it. Faye wore sunglasses, put her hands on her forehead, and rested. If anyone didn't know better, they would definitely think she was a supermodel on vacation, not an actress waiting for her scene.
In contrast to Faye who seemed relaxed, Yoko was nervous. This afternoon, the scene where she and Faye kissed for the first time would take place. Because of the time crunch, Wan decided to try filming this scene without letting the actors rehearse it beforehand. When Yoko was informed of the scene's content, her heart skipped a beat. Yoko glanced at Faye, only to see her resting calmly, so Yoko tried to calm herself down.
The studio assistant announced the start of filming. As soon as she finished announcing it, Faye opened her eyes and prepared to stand up and leave. Looking over, she saw Yoko still standing there nervously, so she raised her hand and took her hand to lead her away. This time was different from the usual, Faye's hand holding did not make Yoko less nervous, but instead made her more calm.
This kiss scene took place in a villa. According to the movie, because the two female leads' friends canceled their trip, only the two of them lived in the entire villa. Lawyer Dana had just argued with police student An, when she was forced to kiss her. After that, the lawyer turned the guest into the host, kissed her deeper, guided her on how to kiss properly, then coldly pushed her away and left. That's all the content, to be exact, it would require more skills from Faye. But while Faye wasn't worried, Yoko was already under a lot of pressure.
There were many reasons why Yoko was so stressed. The biggest reason was because she had never kissed a girl before. Yoko had never initiated a kiss before. Not to mention the fact that the target this time was a goddess of beauty like Faye. Even though she had mentally prepared herself for this scene a long time ago, when she saw Faye's calm face and caring eyes, Yoko unconsciously felt pressured to the point of panic.
As a result, her acting was not good enough, Yoko was not good enough from the first argument scenes, and then when it came to kissing Faye, Yoko couldn't do it either. Every time Yoko got close to Faye, hugged her neck, she had difficulty breathing, lost focus and couldn't kiss Faye. She was forced to re-act many times. This made Faye think deeply, holding her hand, looking at Yoko with concern, but Yoko avoided her eyes. Faye stood up to ask the director's permission to talk and rehearse privately with Yoko first. But the director was quicker, Wan asked Yoko to talk privately with communication specialist Danny before continuing filming.
Yoko and Danny went to a private room and talked for thirty minutes. It was unclear what they talked about, but when they returned, Yoko seemed a little less nervous.
As soon as the director shouted start, Yoko focused on her role and met the requirements much better than before. But when kissing, she faked a kiss, avoiding Faye's lips, her arms wrapped around her neck and slightly leaning back to block the camera. If this had progressed further, the scene would have been considered passable. But in just a moment, the one who lost focus was Faye.
"Cut! Faye, you're not concentrating.." Ms Wan said impatiently. It was only one scene but it took so long, this was the first time this had happened since filming The Journey.
Director Wan let her reshoot again. This time, the one who failed was Faye. Even though she was acting, she felt it wasn't real, so she didn't cooperate with Yoko's way of acting.
"What's wrong?" Faye asked Yoko quietly as she stood near her, she just held her hand and shook her head.
"To avoid wasting time, let's move on to another scene, sister." Faye turned to Wan and suggested, "Give me and Yoko time tonight to adjust."
As she spoke, Faye held Yoko's hand, who was standing next to her. The girl had been in a tense state all this while, and her eyes were looking at her.
To keep up with the schedule, the crew immediately prepared for another scene, Wan quickly agreed. But she did not forget to remind Faye and Yoko to focus more. After a little difficulty filming the kissing scene, the actors started to return to the flow without any other problems. The progress returned to normal, making the director feel secure, but she still reminded Faye to handle this kissing scene well. If there were any problems, she should request a workshop with the whole group to quickly resolve them.
From then until the end of the shoot in the evening, even though Yoko did very well in other scenes, she still couldn't get over her failed kiss scene with Faye and be happy again. Feeling that she was in such a bad mood, Faye was always by her side. Even when the shoot ended at almost midnight, Faye still walked her back to her room.
After returning to her room and getting ready, Faye changed into comfortable pajamas, without drying her hair, she went over to knock on Yoko's door. Yoko had just finished showering and was drying her hair, seeing Faye's hair still wet, she couldn't help but grumble.
"Why is your hair wet?" Yoko said as she pulled Faye into the room and dried her hair.
Tonight Yoko was wearing a simple, comfortable pair of shorts and a tank top, while Faye was wearing a very soft silk nightgown. While Faye sat upright on the bed, Yoko knelt straight behind Faye to make it easier to dry her hair.
"Your hair is so beautiful." Yoko gently dried each strand of Faye's hair, not forgetting to compliment her. Even though they had worked together for a while, and even had a close relationship, Yoko still couldn't help but exclaim whenever she could.
Faye Peraya Malisorn is very beautiful, so beautiful that it makes people who come close to her feel breathless.
"What's wrong with you today?" Faye turned around, because of their position, she unconsciously hugged Yoko's waist.
Yoko turned off the hair dryer, her two hands also very properly placed on Faye's shoulders. She remained kneeling beside her, their eyes looking straight at each other, their faces close together.
Not knowing if it was a role-play or just acting naturally, Yoko reached out and gently stroked a strand of hair behind Faye's ear.
"Because I have never kissed any girl. Especially when it was you..."
'You are so charming and attractive..' Yoko's heart started to beat faster, she thought to herself.
"Do you think it's inappropriate?" Faye grabbed Yoko's hand that was stroking her hair and asked hesitantly. After all, Yoko wasn't from the community. So from the very beginning of filming this scene, Faye didn't dare to be too obvious or proactive, for fear of making Yoko panic. And even when she didn't perform well, Faye's first thought was that she was afraid that Yoko would feel disgusted because she didn't like girls.
"No, it's not like that!" Yoko quickly explained, afraid that if she spoke a second later, Faye would think that she was disgusted by same-sex kisses.
Yoko sat down right next to Faye and took her hand. The two of us sat across from each other on the bed, just like the night we were at Yoko's house.
Faye looked at her, lost in thought, but for a long time she still didn't hear anything. She was about to open her mouth to continue when she hugged her. The sudden action made Faye lose her balance and fall onto the bed, so their position changed to Faye hugging Yoko. Afraid that she would fall off the bed, Faye hugged her tighter, she stretched out her body so that she could lie in her arms.
"Yoko, what's wrong?"
Even Faye probably didn't know how gentle her voice was when she asked that.
Yoko was held in her arms, Faye's body scent was always the same, very fragrant and sweet. That scent wrapped around her, along with a softness that permeated the heart.
Yoko actually prepared herself mentally for the kissing scene a long, long time ago. Not only the kissing scene, but also the other hot scenes, she read the script carefully and watched hot documents that she found online. All of those learnings were very normal to her, Yoko didn't even feel much when watching those scenes. But she didn't think that when she had to apply them in reality with Faye Peraya, Yoko would feel so much pressure.
Faye suddenly smiled and grabbed her chin to make her look straight into her eyes:
"Didn't you say very confidently that you could do it at the bar the other day?"
"You're still joking at this time." Yoko rubbed her body against Faye's chest and said sadly.
'You're the first girl I've kissed, this is very stressful, you know?' Yoko thought to herself but couldn't say it out loud.
Yoko understands that Faye is misunderstanding that she is shy about kissing in front of many people or shy about kissing girls, but Yoko doesn't explain. It's better for Faye to think that than to reveal that she is pressured about kissing Faye. Yoko is pressured because it's Faye, her co-star.
Faye held her sister attentively for a while then sighed. She reached out and turned on the light switch at the head of the bed, this was the master switch that turned off all the lights in the room, soon the room was dark with only the dim light from outside the window shining through the sparse curtains.
As soon as the light went out, Yoko couldn't see clearly. She only felt Faye take off her glasses and put them on the nightstand, then put her arms around her neck so that she could lie comfortably in her body. At the same time, Faye pulled the blanket up to cover both of them. Faye's series of unexpected actions made Yoko's heart beat so fast that it hurt. Yoko started to breathe heavily because she didn't know what Faye was going to do. It was the first time their skin was so close together that there was no gap. Yoko was embarrassed because she knew she had worn longer clothes. Her pajamas were really thin so she could feel everything.
"If you're stressed about kissing for the first time in front of a camera and in front of a crowd. Then let's kiss here. And remember, our first kiss was here, in this dark room." Faye's voice was deep. She whispered into Yoko's ear, causing her to blush, but luckily the darkness hid it. "You don't have to look at my face, just feel it. I'll teach you."
'You are crazy.' This was the only thought Yoko could think of at the moment. Because right after Faye's words, she was so nervous and somewhat expectant that she could only mechanically nod in agreement.
In contrast to Yoko, Faye was calmer. After getting used to the darkness, her eyes dimly made out the outline of her face, she was also looking up at her. Faye's hand gently caressed her face, from her cheek to her nose to her eyes and then to her lips.
"Follow me," Faye said softly.
Then suddenly Faye gently kissed her forehead, the kiss gradually moving down. Faye's lips were so soft and gentle that Yoko forgot her panic and thought it was a dream. When she saw Faye stop, she knew it was her turn. Yoko started to do the same, she caressed Faye's beautiful face, then started to kiss her, from her beautiful phoenix eyes to her high nose. Her kiss was as gentle as a water dragonfly, and gave off a feeling of immaturity.
Faye's hand slid behind her neck, intertwined with her hair and caressed the back of her neck, bringing her closer. Her clear eyes once again looked straight into Yoko's passionate eyes, then kissed her lips. Yoko trembled slightly, but Faye still did not stop. The kiss was gentle, she sucked her lips lightly, bit her lower lip slightly, then moved away.
Faye lifted her up to lie on top but still held back so as not to press on her. Both of them were breathing heavily and rapidly. It seemed that Yoko felt that she was still holding back and not kissing enough, so this time Yoko was the one to follow. She moved up, grabbed Faye's shirt and squeezed tightly. She kissed Faye's lips, the obedient child followed suit, sucking and tasting a little.
Her refusal to give in made Faye smile slightly. She closed her eyes and let herself fall into this kiss. Taking the initiative, Faye opened her lips, wrapped them around Yoko's lips and began to kiss deeper.
Lead me.
Guide me
Yoko don't know how long passed, sometimes Faye attacked, sometimes she gently teased. The kiss lasted so long that Yoko almost couldn't breathe, her hands gripped Faye's shirt tightly, her heart beating so fast it felt like it was about to jump out of her chest. When Faye slowed down the rhythm, ending with a light suck on her lower lip, she opened her eyes to look at her, her hands still not forgetting to caress her neck.
Even though the darkness was spreading, Faye could still feel Yoko's eyes filled with mist and undiminished heat looking at her. Looking at her like this, Faye was at least certain that she wasn't disgusted, Yoko just didn't know how to start kissing her.
Yoko's fingers unconsciously caressed Faye's lips.
"I know how to kiss you." Her voice was hoarse but she still didn't give up on teasing.
"Good girl, you can graduate after just one lesson." Faye grabbed her chin and smiled seductively, "I hope you can act out this scene tomorrow."
Yoko's eyes darkened slightly 'She does everything for the role. If it's a role, then I...'
Yoko suddenly grabbed Faye's shirt and pulled it down, then continued to kiss her lips.
Unlike the last time when Yoko was still naive, this time she was smarter, learned more and took the initiative. She was the one who started the deep kiss first. At the same time, Yoko turned around to lie on Faye's waist, one hand holding her shirt, the other caressing her face.
After the first moment of surprise and being pressed under her body, Faye regained her composure and intended to wrap her lips around hers to actively kiss her deeply. But then she left.
"We need to practice the forced kiss situation more to achieve it." Yoko hid the strange feeling in her heart, restrained the urge to kiss Faye more, and quickly thought of the most reasonable response.
Faye smiled and pulled her up. Her actions did not bother her at all and she did not think much about it. She reached out and turned on the light in the room.
As soon as the light turned on, they saw that both of them were in messy clothes and their hair was also messy. Faye smiled and shook her head, fixed Yoko's hair and shirt, then familiarly caressed her face.
"We will reenact the kissing scene tomorrow. Don't stress, I'm always with you, okay?"
Yoko lowered her head and leaned her head on her shoulder. From Faye's perspective, she could only think that Yoko was shy. She couldn't have guessed that her actions were because she didn't want her to read the signals from her eyes.
Her eyes clearly show four words
'This is not good.'
