[Aki Exo POV]
Okay, I'm going to have to do this. I can do this. Master has helped me so much and I want to show him my progress. I want him to be proud of me and say 'Well done Aki!' I tell myself this, but my legs give out under me and my eyes start to water.
Ohhh, but I can't. I don't want to kiss somebody I don't even know well. I want a nice crush that starts out slow and then we both fall in a sweet and warm love. I'm sorry master! I think I need your help again!
"Ah, I guess I need to do this again then... Fine. I am your master after all."
The person who said this was, in fact, not a person, but a floating blob of a soul in the shape of a male profile with a slender body. His profile had a jawline that was as sharp as obsidian, with teeth that sparkled like diamonds when he smiled, and silver eyes filled with golden flecks.
Whoooshh!
The room was quiet.
[Narrator POV]
The master Aki refers to is a known actor. Being an actor, he's of course handsome and tall with a charismatic voice and a graceful smile. His name is Qui Xie, and he used to be the #1 Actor Fans Love Most for a few years in a row internationally. His talents are matchless under the heavens.
[He died. It was a tragic event for everyone. Tears were shed in a flood. Something strange happened, however. Instead of going to the afterlife, Qui became a ghost, or more of a spirit, actually, which somehow only Aki was able to see. How they ended up as master and disciple will be later discussed.]
[Qui Xie POV]
"I'm sorry Master! I think I need your help again!"
Her body was still, but in her mind eyes pleaded at me, still a bit red from her tears. Her hands were glued together, trembling. Her voice rang through my ears.
Sighing, I wonder how long it would take for her to become a professional actress. For now, I'll help her, but she needs to learn how harsh this industry is and fast, too.
"Ah, I guess I need to do this again then..., " I sighed exasperatingly. "Fine. I am your master after all."
Walking towards Aki's body, I merge my spirit with hers, creating a sound.
Whoooshh!
The room was quiet.
My eyes open, taking in the surroundings. I raise my head and respond to Li Kang with a lording tone, "Huh? What did you just say?" I get up to my feet, ready to put him back into his place for his obnoxious behavior.
Wait, he's the director of this show. I can't insult him or it'll look bad on Aki. I'm going to have to just slightly push him out then. Smiling with the skills that got me through many tough predicaments while partially bowing, I say, "I'm sorry for causing a fuss, Mr. Li. I'll just get ready in a few minutes after the makeup artist arrives so we can then go outside and take the scene."
Li Kang then takes on a bewildered look at my sudden change. I probably did too much of a mood change, but him looking dazed just helps me as I slightly coerce him out of the room.
A little bit later, the makeup artist scurries in and does some quick touch-ups on my face. Ugh, being a girl is hard. The first time I was in Aki's body, I was so out of character and unused to the weights on my chest. And I was an internationally famous actor... I'm a failure as an actor in this industry!
Ten minutes later, the makeup is finished, and I walk out of the dressing room and to the scene with my head held high. The staff, seeing Aki look totally different, were shocked.
Lustrous hair cascading on my shoulders, check. Dazzling smile blinding several people from the beauty of it, check. Lithe legs strolling like a model on a runway, check.
I'm ready. As ready in being in a girls body while being a male as I'll ever be.
My hair gets a bit wet for the scene as the rain sprinklers turn on up above. Keiruka is also ready at the sides, waiting to walk up to me when the take starts. The scene is ready, and Li announces, "Take 1: The Kissing Scene."
