It started off as a boring stretch of downtime on set—lighting adjustments, camera tweaks, and a lunch break that ran a little too long. Noah Beck, fully in character as Dreyton Lahey, and Siena Agudong, playing Dallas Bryan, found themselves lounging in the trailer’s makeup area with nothing to do but wait.

Noah, spinning lazily in a chair, glanced over at Siena, who had a makeup wipe in hand. “You still have a bit of foundation smudged on your cheek,” she said, raising an eyebrow.

“Oh really? Fix it for me then,” he smirked, leaning in just a little too confidently.

Without hesitation, Siena stood up, stepped closer, and gently wiped his cheek with exaggerated focus. “Hold still, Dreyton Lahey,” she teased. “This is a high-maintenance quarterback moment.”

Noah chuckled, grabbing a wipe himself. “Alright, your turn. Eye makeup duty,” he said, gently brushing under her eye. “Your character’s about to run the school spirit rally, can’t have her looking like she lost sleep thinking about me.”

Siena snorted, playfully swatting at his hand. “You wish that was in the script.”

As they kept at their impromptu skin-care moment, laughing and talking casually about their favorite childhood shows, the makeup assistant peeked in and blinked twice before quietly backing out. A few moments later, the director, Justin Wu, walked past the trailer window and did a double take.

He turned to the assistant and raised a brow. “Are they… washing each other’s faces?”

“Yep.”

“…They’re dating, right?”

“Nobody knows. But if they’re not, they’re doing a pretty convincing job of making the entire crew think they are.”

Word started spreading around set like wildfire. The extras whispered. The costume team placed bets. Even the boom mic guy leaned down from his perch to ask if there was “something going on with Dallas and Dreyton off-screen too.”

Noah and Siena? They just kept laughing, washing each other’s faces, and acting like none of it was a big deal—though every now and then, they’d exchange a glance that said maybe… just maybe… it was starting to be.
