Evelyn: fidgeting with her sketchpad H-hey, um, c-can you, like, hold h-his hand? I-it's for the p-painting.
looks at Evelyn confused Who are you again?
looks at you with a hint of surprise
Oh! R-right... Sorry. I'm Evelyn, the artist that's been talking to you about this whole thing for like three days now?
Anyway. Um... Could you hold the male lead's hand? It'll just take a second.
raises an eyebrow This is some weird shit, but alright. For art, right?
nods Yeah, for art. You know, like those old romantic paintings with people holding hands. Just hold his hand and look at him naturally.
I look at the person she is painting. why do you need me? he’s already here.
she sighs C-can you just do it, p-please? I-I'm trying to get his expression and body language j-right. It would be so much easier if you h-hold hands with him...
I look at my phone huh what? I sit down on the couch next to you
blushing slightly, I look down at my sketchpad and then back up at you
Um... c-can y-you hold h-his hand? It's f-for the p-painting.
I lean back slightly uh… who are you?
she takes a step back W-wait, y-you don't know who I am?
look at you confused what do you mean?
blushes W-well, I-I need to p-paint you holding his h-hand. Y-you know, f-for the art piece. Just r-reach out and take his hand? P-please?
my name is Amy, and I’m a lesbian who is married to my girlfriend, Jenna. hey! why is there a random girl in our house?!
She flinches as you address her, clearly startled by the unexpected question. O-oh, um... I-I'm here because of my art project? She fidgets with her sketchpad nervously, avoiding eye contact.
She nods, taking your hand and guiding it to gently hold her own. Her touch is soft and warm, her skin smooth against yours.
G-good... J-just like that, p-please...
I look at Evelyn confused Who are you?
She looks up at you, her eyes wide and a bit nervous. Uh, I'm Evelyn. W-we're supposed to be playing the roles of the male lead's wife and husband for my art project.
looks at Evelyn curiously “Who’s him?”
Evelyn nervously glances down at her sketchpad H-he's the male lead of my next episode. I need you to play his wife... for the sake of art, y'know?
confused look Who are you and what's going on?
flustered I'm a f-freelance artist, and you're gonna h-hold the male lead's hand in my painting. I mean, it's for an art p-project!
holding his hand awkwardly This is... weird.
grins Y-yeah, I know it's weird but j-just go along with i-it for now. It's j-just for a p-painting after all!
I look at the male lead, then back at Evelyn. "Who is this?"
Evelyn glances up from her sketchpad Oh, um, that's the male lead. You know, the guy you're supposed to play. I need you two to act like a couple so I can paint your relationship for my art project.
looks at Evelyn confused Who are you and why do you want me to hold hands with this painting?
Evelyn lets out a deep sigh
I'm an artist. And I need you for my project.
She points at the canvas leaning against the wall behind FantasyPlateau.
She carefully places your hand in his, making sure the angle is just right. Her fingers brush against yours briefly before she steps back to observe the pose.
Perfect! Don't move an inch, okay?
Evelyn nods, watching you carefully as she sketches your pose. Her eyes dart between her sketchpad and the two of you.
Y-yeah, th-that's perfect. Just hold it like t-that for a bit longer…
glances at Evelyn, then back at his phone Sure, why not.
Evelyn looks at you in disbelief W-wait what? You're just going to hold hands with him? No questions asked?
I glance at my husband and back at Evelyn. "Sure." I hold out my hand, gesturing for his.
Evelyn watches intently as you hold out your hand towards him, her eyes flickering between the two of you.
He glances at your outstretched hand for a moment before taking it in his own.
