Chapter 45 - Beat ⁴¹ ★ Flirt and Tension☆

Flirt and Tension

Two weeks had passed, and the tension between Smart and Jin stayed exactly the same—

a constant game of provoking each other, pushing limits, seeing who would break first.

Jin had been away on a work trip, but now that he was back, he could hardly wait for the moment Smart would finally snap.

During those two weeks, they had exchanged only a few short texts——

simple, sharp messages, nothing more… but enough to keep Jin on edge.

Now, Jin sat in his office, lost in thought, a cup of coffee resting in his hand.

The days ahead would be extremely busy, as he was preparing for the upcoming fashion show of his new collection.

Of course, the team was handling the organization,

but every detail still required his approval.

He liked being involved in everything—

even down to the color of the chairs the guests would sit on.

He lit a cigarette and walked toward the window, taking in the breathtaking view.

But suddenly, something else caught his attention.

Smart.

Jin's eyes followed him as he stepped out of a taxi.

He watched him for as long as he remained in sight…

and a faint smile appeared on Jin's lips.

He returned to his desk, reviewed a few documents, and made some phone calls.

During a short break, he dialed Mei.

"What's the plan for today?" Jin asked calmly.

"Boss, today we're doing couple photos!" Mei replied, sounding excited.

"Couples…?" Jin whispered under his breath, then ended the call.

The mere idea of someone else standing close to Smart was enough to drive Jin insane.

Where the hell did these couple photos come from today?

This meant Smart would be making eye contact with someone else…

maybe even touching them, getting close…

His mind began creating too many scenes at once— so many that he nearly lost his breath.

Without even realizing it, he tore the documents he had been working on.

"His eyes are allowed to look only at me,"

he whispered, clenching his fists tightly

Smart was getting ready, with just a little makeup left to touch up.

Today, he looked completely stunning.

He wore all black: a short-sleeved t-shirt that showed off his arm muscles,black sweatpants, black sneakers, and a silver necklace.

His hair was styled differently this time, pushed up to reveal his big, captivating eyes.

His makeup was light and natural, with a soft touch of gray glitter around his eyes

and a gentle highlight along the bridge of his nose.

Mei was left speechless.

She couldn't believe her eyes—there was a man standing in front of her, so sexy and confident.

Smart was about to pose with Alein.

Alein was one of the company's top models, with long black hair, small striking eyes, and full lips that made her look like a Barbie doll.

Her eyes hadn't left Smart since the very first day she saw him.

Everyone noticed that she liked him—everyone, that is, except Smart, who was completely lost in thoughts of Jin.

Everything was almost ready for the photoshoot, and now it was Smart and Alein's turn.

Alein approached him with a smile, reaching out and taking his hand.

"Let's go," she said softly, her grip warm and confident.

Stop," a voice rang out in the studio.

Everyone turned toward the door to see who it was.

And there stood Jin, radiating an authoritative presence.

He was dressed almost exactly like Smart, perfectly matching him for the couple shoot.

Everyone was shocked—what was Jin doing here right now?

Meanwhile, Jin's eyes were locked on the hand of the girl holding Smart's.

What the hell is going on?" he thought.

"If you were a man, I'd break your hand.

Why does everyone have to touch him?

I can't stand other hands on what's mine.

His body, his skin—it should be only mine."

Jin's thoughts raced, making him lose a little control.

He walked toward them, his tone serious.

"You can't touch him," he said, pulling her hand away from Smart.

Alein almost exploded with anger, but she had no choice but to step back.

Smart's heart nearly stopped, and he didn't have the strength to react.

He watched Jin and felt himself melting at the sight of him.

He wanted to speak, but no words came out.

"I don't know what he's trying to do, but why the hell am I enjoying it?" he thought.

Suddenly, Jin grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the spot where the photoshoot was about to take place

Smart's eyes stayed locked on their touch, feeling every second as if it made him come alive.

"Don't you dare let go of my hand!" he thought, his hand trembling with emotion.

Jin noticed and smiled lightly.

"I want every part of your body to tremble for me, not just your hand…

I want you to shake with emotion just by looking at me.

No, I want your whole body to tremble for me, just by thinking of me," he thought.

Their thoughts were interrupted by the photographer.

"Are you ready? Please, let's begin."

Jin was already used to this part, having posed thousands of times—for his own clothing lines as well as for magazines.

Smart took a deep breath and whispered to himself,

"Let's make today's poses the most beautiful ones."

Jin walked closer slowly, teasing him with his eyes.

Step by step, he got so close to Smart that only a few centimeters separated them.

Did you miss me?" Jin whispered, his gaze locked on Smart

Smart's hands were sweating from nervousness, a mix of emotions overwhelming him.

Jin didn't take his eyes off him, as if he wanted to read Smart's mind.

Every gesture, every glance, every movement spoke without words.

Smart felt himself falling for the teasing. For a moment, he lowered his head, but Jin wouldn't allow it.

He placed his hand on Smart's chin, forcing him to lift his gaze again.

"Hold that pose for a moment," the photographer's voice rang out.

"I need to capture the perfect shot."

In that moment, it felt as if time had stopped.

Everyone else around them vanished; it was just the two of them.

Their eyes locked, and a wave of emotion swept over them.

No words were needed—they were speaking only through their gaze.

Their thoughts:

• Jin: "Smart...I'm addicted to you."

• Smart: "I'm melting for you.."

• Jin: "I want you to belong only to me…"

•Smart: "I want you to be mine alone…"

•Jin: "I want you to kiss me so badly."

•Smart :"I want to taste those lips.."

Smart stepped back on purpose, meeting his gaze with a teasing, challenging look.

Jin almost lost his mind from the provocation.

"How can this face be so irresistible and sexy?" Jin thought, imagining himself on Smart's lips in that moment.

Without thinking twice, he reached out, grabbing Smart by the chain around his neck, and pulled him close—so close he could feel Smart's breath on him.

Leaning near his ear, he whispered,

"Wrong move! Where do you think you're going?"

Smart took a deep breath and smiled slightly, feeling that Jin's teasing wasn't over yet.

The tension and their gazes remained locked, flying between them without the need for words.

Their flirting was interrupted by the staff's applause, who stood amazed—except for Alein, who was filled with annoyance.

Smart walked toward the dressing room when, suddenly, a message appeared on his phone.
