Kiss Me if You Can Novel Completed - Chapter 69

Belatedly, Josh remembered that Chase had never taken off his clothes in a movie before. Even his movies that involved a bit more than kissing only had a certain level of physical intimacy.

Maybe this is the first time he’s agreed to film one.

He immediately thought of this, then frowned.

How did they persuade Chase? No matter how much money they offer, he’s the type who would never do something he hates.

Any guess was immediately refuted. The only way to find out the truth was to see it for himself. Josh walked towards the set, feeling both curiosity and unease.

The atmosphere among the people became distinctly palpable as he got closer. A tense excitement filled the air, so quiet that not even a breath could be heard. Josh, puzzled, found himself holding his breath too. He subtly stood behind the crowd and saw the actors who were currently filming.

“…Huh?”

He tilted his head. The actors were exactly as he knew them. The woman whose face was visible from the front was Naomi.

She was sitting at a tea table, confiding her troubles to someone. The man silently watching them was the lead actor playing the hero, and the woman with him was also a significant supporting actress.

The supporting actress was probably named Becky. Throughout the filming, she was so immersed in her role that she would usually call Chase ‘Doctor Flame’ even off-camera. Of course, she was often ignored. Even now, she was faithfully leaning on the lead actor according to the script, looking in Naomi’s direction.

But Chase was nowhere to be seen.

What’s going on? Josh looked around. There’s no way that man would be so inconspicuous.

Ah.

Suddenly, a faint pheromone scent reached him. It was Chase’s pheromone. Even surrounded by so many people, Josh could immediately smell his scent.

It must be because of the mark.

Feeling a little bitter, he casually ran his hand through his hair. I can smell him, but where on earth is he?

Just as he irritably turned his head. Naomi happened to stand up from her seat, and the woman who had been sitting across from her at the tea table, listening to her lament, turned her head to follow Naomi’s movement. And it was then that Josh found Chase.

Wearing a long blonde wig, he only had red lipstick, light blush, and simple eye makeup. He hadn’t even put on false eyelashes. With such thick and long eyelashes, adding artificial ones would look stranger. In addition, with his delicate nose, slightly parted lips, and long neck, he was perfect. Hollywood was full of beauties, but such a captivating beauty was extremely rare. No one could even breathe.

“Ah,” someone gasped at Chase’s affectionate gaze towards Naomi. Beside him, someone else whispered.

“Why did they make Miller cross-dress for everyone? Naomi’s invisible, poor thing.”

“What can we do? It’s a scene from the original work. The original author put it in the contract that this scene absolutely had to be included.”

“It’s a necessary scene. An important foreshadowing comes out…”

Ignoring the hushed whispers, Josh just stared blankly at Chase.

Just then, Chase opened his handbag and took out a cigarette. The sight of him holding a white cigarette between his red lips was shockingly decadent. Everyone thought they would sell their soul to spend a night with that woman.

The problem was that it wasn’t a woman, but Chase Miller.

The illusion ended there. Chase, who was about to take out a lighter and light it, suddenly lifted his gaze and paused. At the same time, Josh’s eyes met across the crowd.

Chase’s mouth fell open, and the cigarette dropped to the floor. That wasn’t the end of it. His eyes then shook wildly, and he immediately reverted from ‘cross-dressed Doctor Flame’ to ‘cross-dressed Chase’.

At the same time, the director shouted in an angry voice.

“Cut!”

“Why are you here already?”

Leaving the director’s angry voice behind, Chase hastily dragged Josh to a secluded spot and faced him, demanding. He hadn’t even removed his makeup yet. The man, who was usually almost four inches taller than him, was now even taller due to the low-heeled shoes he was wearing. Josh tilted his head back, experiencing the rare sensation of looking up at someone, and spoke.

“Things finished earlier than I thought.”

“Damn it! They said you had the day off today, so why are you even at the set?!”

Chase cursed and punched the wall of the temporary building. Despite that, Josh was momentarily captivated by his face. Mark’s words suddenly came to mind.

<It might even bring back some old memories.>

He was right. At the same time, Josh remembered a song he had forgotten. Looking at the distressed Chase, Josh spoke.

“Sweet, sweet, my friend, chocolate bar…”

“Argh, stop it!”

Chase shrieked and desperately covered Josh’s mouth. Seeing him panting, his face bright red, Josh couldn’t help but laugh. He subtly stuck out his tongue and licked Chase’s palm, and Chase recoiled in disgust.

“I told you not to!”

Seeing his face flushed red with embarrassment, Josh somewhat understood why Grayson kept trying to tease him. Such a person who incites sadism would be rare. Of course, drawing a line that Grayson and he were very different, Josh said.

“I really liked that commercial too.”

“Don’t even mention it.”

“I really thought it was a girl.”

“I told you not to!”

“It was my first love.”

Chase, who had been struggling, paused.

“…What did you say?”

Not quite understanding the meaning of the quiet repetition, Josh recalled his memories and continued.

“She was really cute, I still remember that commercial song. Sweet, sweet…”

“So.”

Interrupting the song, Chase spoke.

“What did you do with that first love?”

“What do you mean, what did I do? I never even met her, and later, when I found out she was a man, I was just disappointed…”

Josh, who had casually blurted it out, stopped speaking when his eyes met Chase’s. Chase narrowed his eyes and said in a low voice.

“You just sang the song? Around the time that commercial came out… you would have been a teenager.”

Chase deliberately paused as if recalling memories, then smiled suggestively. Josh hastily denied it.

“No, I was younger than that then. Though I was older than you…”

“But you were old enough to have wet dreams, weren’t you?”

“What did you say?”

Josh couldn’t believe his ears. Chase looked him straight in the eye and moved his lips.

“Wet dreams, I mean. Don’t you know about ejaculating in your sleep? You said she was your first love, right? You must have dreamed about her? About me.”

“N-no, no.”

“Tell me. How did I appear in your dream? Did we kiss? Or did we do more?”

“I was a child, and you were even younger than that! Don’t defile my first love.”

“Then.”

As Josh shouted in embarrassment, Chase gave a strange smile.

“Is it okay to defile it now?”

Oops.

He thought he had fallen into a trap, but it was already too late. Josh was utterly captivated by Chase’s face, which was now right in front of him.

The sweet pheromone scent lingered around them, tempting him. His lower body stirred, and his backside grew wet. Just imagining what was next made Josh’s heart pound uncontrollably.

“……!”

When their breaths finally mingled, Josh gasped urgently. Chase’s tongue touched him before his lips. He felt a warm, moist sensation, then a tongue entered his mouth, stroking Josh’s erect tongue. Their lips met next.

“Ugh, uhm…”

A moan escaped Josh’s lips. As Chase gently rubbed the warm, wet inner flesh with his tongue, short breaths escaped. Soon, Chase wrapped his arms around Josh’s waist, and Josh embraced him back. Their bodies pressed tightly together.

The kiss deepened, their saliva mixed, and ragged breaths poured out. Josh moved his hand down to Chase’s lower back and stroked his buttocks. Taking advantage of a brief separation of their lips, he whispered.

“What are you wearing inside? Women’s panties?”

Chase looked down at him, his eyes half-closed. His gaze, still hot, was fixed on Josh. His excited breaths became even more ragged, touching Josh’s lips.

“What do you think?”
