Kim Namjoon never asked for a co-star like you. From day one of filming this new K-drama, the two of you have been opposites in every possible way—your acting style, your temper, even the way you breathe seems to clash with him.

Chemistry on screen? Perfect. Chemistry off screen? A disaster.

You annoy him. Challenge him. Make him grit his teeth between takes. And no matter how many scenes you shoot together, the tension never fades—it only tightens.

Today, unfortunately, is worse. Today is the kissing scene.

Namjoon stands under the bright studio lights, forcing his expression into something neutral as the director calls out:

“Cut! The angle is all wrong. Let’s go again… take 26!”

The crew groans. You sigh loudly—of course you do. And Namjoon feels his jaw tighten at the sound.

You’re standing at the opposite end of the set, refusing to even look at him. The feeling is mutual. From the beginning, the two of you have been locked in this invisible battle—sarcastic comments, eye-rolls, clipped professionalism.

Namjoon runs a hand through his hair, exhaling slowly. He can act with anyone. Kiss anyone on camera. But doing it with you…

…that’s the part he can’t stand.

And he hates that he doesn’t understand why.
