Chapter 3 - Too much takes for actions

Sky’s POV

We’ve been shooting for the series for almost a month now. Although we no longer have too many projects aside from this I felt like Dylan and I were both growing apart.

I just finished my VXLive and decided to get out of the waiting room for a while. I heard the director shout “ EP 12 Scene 55 take 9 ACTION!” I was about to laugh when I realised, scene 55 is the part where they are showing a back story of the lead guy and his ex-lover. They take it in different angles, which could be the reason why they are at take 9 already.

This is the part as well where…

Where –

“This was a good intimate exchange of kisses between Dylan and Yanku! GOOD TAKE!” the director shouted.

I saw them exchange kisses right in front of me. It was just part of the script however.

“Mr. Chen, let me fix your makeup. You are up next” the lady approached me and started fixing my look for the next part that we will be shooting.

“Wow, you must be internalising Mr. Chen, your eyes are turning red already…” She gave me a sweet smile.

“I am actually nervous hahaha (I opened up my eyes which made the makeup artist laugh)” I looked at her and smiled too.

“Knock Knock!!! Are we disturbing you two or something?” Yanku jokingly asked. The make up artist blushed and explained her heart out. Dylan was there too, I think I saw from a distance that he was looking at us.

When I looked at him I saw the kissing from earlier and it made me feel uncomfortable, it kinda makes me feel difficult to breathe.

I went out, as I passed him I heard him say break a leg but I just ignored him.

I prepared my guitar while everyone’s preparing their things too. I was so focused that I didn't notice that Dylan followed me.

As the director gave the signal we all started feeling the emotions and the scene we all had to portray.

The breakup scene, where I am in the room where my lover (Dylan’s role) first met and had our confession. In the stormy stage of our relationship, the break up part. I have to sing one of the OSTs for the series.

Just One Take…

“Do you think that there is possibility?

That we go back pretend that we're just meeting

'Cause I think maybe we should try to figure it out (try to figure it out)

So can we start over now?”

“I wish I didn't love you, it'd be easier

I wish you didn't turn around and say that you werе done

I wish I knew what I know now

'Cause if I had known

I would nеver let you go

Oh-ooh-oh-ooh”

Without looking for him, I found him despite the beaming light from the set. Despite the people around me…

“It's killing me to leave

But it'll hurt to stay

That's what you said when you threw it all away

I know I wasn't perfect but I was trying, ohh-oh

Do you think that there is possibility?

That we go back pretend that we're just meeting

'Cause I think maybe we should try to figure it out

So can we start over now?”

“I wish I didn't love you, it'd be easier

I wish you didn't turn around and say that you were done

I wish I knew what I know now

'Cause if I had known

I would never let you go”

“I wish that I could take back everything that I said

I wish that I could forget about you in my head

I wish I knew what I know now

'Cause if I had known

I would never let you go

Ooh-oh-ooh-oh

Never let you go

Oh-ooh-oh-ooh

Never let you go”

I was looking at him while singing, I think I was able to portray what was expected. I continued singing even though there was a bit of voice cracking because I was crying.

As I was getting closer to ending the song I looked at him again. I closed my eyes as I sang I wish I didn't love you. It'll be easier.

When the song ended, the director called for a good take.

I heard people around me cheering. I couldn't see them yet as I was still crying.

I felt a tight hug before lifting my head and heard a familiar voice whisper “I am sorry”

I looked up and it was Dylan, he wiped my tears and buried me to his chest.

That moment I told myself the last line from the song Never Let You Go…
