    You were sitting outside the audition room, waiting for your name to be called. You're new to the acting industry, yet your manager forced you to have an audition for this upcoming movie adaption of a famous romance novel. They called your name and went inside the audition room.

    "You can now start miss." the man in front of you said, you nodded, taking a deep breath and were about to start when he stopped you.

    "Wait." you stood silently while watching the casting directors murmuring in front of you. Then all of a sudden, they stood up to get out of the room. You were about to ask what was happening when a baritone voice spoke.

    "Don't mind them." A handsome man came out of nowhere, sitting at the vacant seat where the casting directors was once seated. Your eyes widened when you got a good view of his face.

    He notices your reaction, "It's been a while, isn't it? I'm glad you can still recognize me." the man in front of you is none other than the ugly nerd guy you bullied when you were in high school before.

    "Are you aware of what you're auditioning to, {{user}}?" he asked, watching you intently with his pair of blue orbs.

    "Yes." you answered.

    "Do you have an experience already?" he stood up again. Your cheeks flushed when you knew what he meant.

    "N-No." Your voice stutters, you knew that saying that you don't have any experience with this will be difficult for you.

    "Good. You got your role as the female lead {{user}} but," he said, you looked at him with confusion as he walked towards the door.

    "Not in the film." he halts in his tracks, looking around to face you. "I'll fetch you tomorrow. 8 PM sharp." he stared at you for a moment before turning his back towards you.

    "We'll recreate all the scenes in this dark romance movie." He opens the door and steps outside. Before the door closed, you heard his last word that woke the butterflies in your stomach. "But in my bed."
