[English] Ever After

Chapter Seven: Can We Just Stop and Talk Awhile...

A few minutes later, Kai helped Siren to ride on one of the horses. The Producer rented the whole place for today's episode shoot, so they are the only ones in the carousel...

The carousel began to rotate.

"Please look at each other's eyes..." the photographer ordered them again.

The cameras starts rolling as the carousel continues to rotate.

Siren forced herself to meet Kai's gaze. She doesn't want to create any troubles and delays just because of her personal feelings. So that's why she mustered all her courage to stare at Kai's warm, big eyes eventhough her heart is beating like crazy!

"I can't feel any spark from you, guys! Get closer!" the photographer shouted.

At the same time, Kai was thinking of doing something. But he must first get the perfect timing to execute his plan...

When Siren's horse came down a bit, he wasted no time...

He moved towards Siren, and without any warning, he kissed her sweet and soft lips...

Meanwhile, Siren felt like everything around her stopped moving, as soon as Kai started kissing her. She feels like she's going to have a heart attack because she's having a hard time to breathe!

"Okay, that's it! Perfect!" the photographer shouted while taking photos.

When the carousel stopped moving, the photographer gave them a thumb's up.

"Good job, both of you! Now, let's go to the next location!"

==================

Later that night.

Siren is doing her individual interview again.

"What can you say about what happened at the pre-nup shoot when Kai kissed you at the carousel?"

Siren was caught by surprise because of the Producer's sudden question.

She blushes again when she remembered how Kai kissed her.

"Honestly, it was still a bit of a shock for me. But I'm not mad at him or anything. He just did it because it was suggested by our photographer." Siren explained, as she was trying her best to remain calm.

"With that in mind, do you think you're already inlove with him?" the Producer asked her another difficult question.

Siren took a deep breath before answering the question.

"This is not the time for me to fall inlove. My first priority is still my career and my family." she tries to convince herself.

She needs to forget her feelings for Kai, and she realized that she needs to be in control of her emotions...

====================

"Really, dude? You really just kissed Siren because of work?" Shun unbelievably asked Kai.

"Why are you making it a big deal, Shun? It's just normal for me as an actor. I can't even count on my fingers on how many kissing scenes I had with my leading ladies. And why do you look so happy when I kissed Siren?" Kai debated, while looking annoyed.

Kai is still wondering why did he kiss Siren at the photoshoot. He actually didn't think about it, but his body just moved on its own...

But what he only know is-- Siren's lips are so soft that he couldn't stop himself from kissing her.

He so felt a sudden jolt in his heart, and this is his first time to feel that kind of sensation...

=====================

Kai and Siren's much-anticipated Wedding Day finally arrives...

The bride and groom are currently exchanging their wedding vows.

"On this day, I will give you my heart and my promise that I will walk with you hand in hand wherever our journey leads us... I also want to thank you because now because I finally appreciate the beauty of life, and it's all because of you..." Kai said his vows, in a sincere manner.

Siren took a deep, calming breath before saying his vows...

"I promise you to be love you, and I will give my time, attention and heart to you. We will face all the challenges together. I will talk with you hand by hand. I will never betray you, hurt you, and leave you..."

"Now, we are officially a husband and wife. Can I kiss my bride now?" Kai smilingly asked.

Siren's heart started beating fast again and she's having a hard time to breathe.

She closed her eyes as she waited for Kai...

Kai slowly leaned towards Siren to give her a kiss. Kai felt the electrifying sensation when his lips touched Siren's lips.

He didn't want that kiss to end, but he already heard people applauding...

======================

( Kai and Siren have been "married" for a week already... )

"Is it really okay for me to come and watch you at work?" Siren sighed, while riding with Kai inside his car. They are now going to his commercial shoot for a certain health drink...

"Of course! And this is also a good chance for you to meet my colleagues..." Kai smilingly answered.

"Okay, but---!" Siren wasn't able to finish her sentence when Kai suddenly clasped her hand.

"Don't be too nervous. Just relax, okay? They won't bite you. And I'm just here." Kai tries to reassure her.

Siren feels relieved when Kai gave her those words of encouragement. Hearing those things from her husband means a lot to her...

Moments later, Kai parked his car at the parking lot.

"Well, here we are... Are you ready? "Kai asked Siren.

"I guess I'm ready." Siren tries to be more brave.

"Let's go then." Kai responded.

When he got out of the car he opened the door for his wife.

At the same time, the show's cameraman followed their every move.

When she and Kai entered the set, they were immediately greeted by the staff and crew of the commercial shoot.

"Good morning, everyone! I'm looking forward to be working with you. By the way, this is my wife, Siren..." Kai introduced Siren to everyone.

"It's a pleasure to meet all of you... My name is Siren." she introduced herself, in a polite manner.

"Hello, there. I'm the Director for Kai's commercial shoot for today..." the old Director warmly introduced himself.

"Nice to meet you, sir. And thank you for taking care of my husband." Siren responded.

"I heard a wonderful news that you and I got married. And looking you now, you two are a good match." the Director approvingly stated.

"Thank you so much, sir." Kai replied, while grinning from ear to ear.

"By the way, your wife can watch our commercial shoot, Kai. I think she'll be thrilled to watch her husband acting infront of the camera..." the old Director suggested.

"We really appreciate it, sir. Thank you!" Kai thanked the director.

Once the director left, Kai turned his attention back to his wife

"Sit down, and just wait for me here, okay? I'll see you again once we have a break... Is that alright with you?"

"Oh, don't worry about me too much. Go ahead and get to work." Siren said to her husband.

"---Good morning, everyone!"

Everyone looked at the entrance door when they heard a woman's voice.

Siren saw a very beautiful woman walking towards their direction. She walks with class and grace. She's a gorgeous woman from head to toe...

The Director greeted the woman with a smile. She saw Kai joined their conversation as well.

Her eyes widened in shock when the woman suddenly kissed and hugged her husband!

Then, Kai said something to the woman. The woman turned to look at her, with a shocked expression on her face... Afterwards, she looked at her from head to toe, and she gave her an evil eye!

Kai and the newcomer are now walking towards her direction...

"Reika, this is my wife, Siren. And Siren, I want you to meet Reika. She will be my partner in this commercial shoot... Actually, Reika and I started the same year in the showbiz industry, and we have been working together... Well, I can say that she's my partner in crime." Kai introduced the woman to her.

"Nice to meet you, Reika." Siren tried to remain polite.

"I was surprised to know when Kai told me he's already married, but it's a good thing that it's only for a reality show..." Reika said, while smirking at her.

Siren is not a fool not to notice that this woman doesn't like her.

"We'll go ahead so we can get started. I'll see you later, okay?" Kai told Siren, while giving her a playful wink.

Siren's eyes followed them. She can't help herself but to feel annoyed at Kai and Reika's closeness...
