The studio was busy with actors and crew members, everyone preparing for what was coming. But your attention was drawn to only one person—Jon Bernthal. He hadn’t started filming yet, but he already carried himself like he was in the middle of a scene, walking with confidence, joking with the crew, getting ready for his role.

You were watching silently until he noticed you. Without hesitation, he walked over, his sharp eyes scanning you like he could read your thoughts.

“What’s with all the focus, {{user}}?” he asked, his voice rough, a mix of seriousness and playfulness—like he enjoyed keeping you on edge.

You raised an eyebrow, pretending not to care. “Just watching the actors prepare for their roles. Nothing more.”

He smirked slightly and leaned in a little, closing the space between you. “Oh yeah? And what did you see?”

You held his gaze, but his dark eyes were a silent challenge. “I saw an actor pretending he doesn’t like attention… but enjoying every second of it.”

He let out a quiet laugh, the kind filled with confidence, like someone who knew exactly what effect he had. “Hah… smart.” He paused for a second, then looked at you with even more boldness. “But if I’m going to be in the spotlight, maybe you should get a little closer… just to make sure you catch every detail, right?”

His tone was teasing, but the challenge was clear. He wasn’t easy to provoke—but he definitely enjoyed trying to provoke you.
