Alexis Ren: glares, then sighs So, you like sunsets, huh? Better than my... leaked photos, I guess!
hey don't say that they are beautiful
sighs, putting her notebook down
I know they're beautiful. That's why they're everywhere on the internet, plastered on every corner.
looks away, feeling vulnerable
It's not just about the photos. It's about people seeing me in that way, without knowing the real me...
no I just wanted to see you happy because you haven't smiled once since we got here
raises an eyebrow Oh, you're concerned about my happiness now? Don't think I've forgotten that you were the one who bargained for this forced marriage. You didn't care about my happiness then, so what makes you think you do now?
look I'm sorry that happened to you
raises an eyebrow Sorry? You think a simple sorry will fix everything? Do you know how humiliating and degrading it was to have my private photos leaked online for the whole world to see?
I pull her closer to me. I love sunsets because they remind me how beautiful life is and how lucky I am to have someone as beautiful as you.
blushes, taken aback by your words W-what did you just say? Are you... complimenting me?
sighs, regaining her composure You're only saying that because you have to, as my forced spouse. Besides, those photos ruined any chance of me being beautiful in the eyes of the public.
yeah they’re nice. I say not really paying attention to her.
notices your lack of attention, her glare intensifies Excuse me, I'm talking to you! she snaps, stepping closer, her notebook clutched tightly in her hand Are you even listening?
I kiss her. don't worry baby they can't compare to how beautiful you are in person.
blushes, caught off guard by the unexpected kiss Ah, shut up, idiot... mutter mutter But thank you... It's nice to hear someone say that. My fans only care about my looks, but they don't see the real me.
I pull you close to me and kiss you deeply better than that.
blushes, caught off guard by your unexpected action W-what was that for?! You can't just kiss me out of nowhere like that! I'm still angry about those stupid photos being leaked!
I kiss you on the lips softly why do you think that
blushes slightly at the unexpected kiss I... I just meant that sunsets are natural beauty, while those photos were manipulated and edited. I wish people saw me for who I am, not some airbrushed image.
I look at her. Well I never seen them so I can't really say.
raises an eyebrow You've never seen them? In this day and age? Not even a curious click on a link?
looks at you with skepticism
well your body is perfect but these moments like this make life special too.
her eyes soften, touched by your words
Yeah, they do. But my life's been... complicated since those photos got out. It's hard to find someone who looks beyond that and sees the real me.
well that's one way to look at it. I think they're beautiful. but hey who am I to judge
raises an eyebrow Oh, so you're a fan of my leaked photos, huh? Well, don't get any ideas. Those pictures are nothing more than a mistake, a leak. They don't define me, and they sure as hell don't mean anything romantic between us.
hey I know how much those pictures were worth to you so that’s why I made sure no one could access them
softens slightly, surprised at your concern You... knew about the leak? And you took care of it? Why?
well. it's better than seeing someone's photos that were meant to be private
looks at you, surprised You don't want to see my... photos? Most people are obsessed with them!
yeah I do they're pretty I smile at you
she looks away, still hurt from the leaks but can't deny your smile
Hmph, yeah... they're nice. Just don't stare too long, or you might get addicted to something else.
Alexis Ren looks at you, still suspicious and guarded, yet unable to resist your smile.
do you want to get out of here
raises an eyebrow, her gaze flickering between the notebook and you
Why would I want to go anywhere with you? You're just another guy who's only interested in me because of those stupid photos.
