Chapter 121: Understanding the dilemma
There was only one reason Fil agreed to film the music video: that was to incite jealousy or any unpleasant feeling in those with whom she wanted to watch it. It was more like a mind game. The storyline was a bonus. The twist of the story was that they weren’t actually lovers. But rather, best friends.
The song and the music video were all about a man in love with his friend. All the scenes where they appeared as typical lovers were just them being friends. Fil’s role was committed to someone else, and her actual lover was cheating on her. But alas, even though she knew about it, she never told anyone about it.
Hence, the dilemma in their friendship.
Anton’s character wanted her but didn’t have the guts to say it to her face. All he could hope was for Fil and her lover to break up. Meanwhile, Fil’s character stays in the relationship out of love. Even though this love was taking pieces of her heart.
Fil knew once this music video was out, it would touch Marcus and Vincent one way or another. That was the plan. Who would have thought she didn’t need to finish the filming because the results came too soon?
"Will you go out with me?"
Fil opened and closed her mouth, rendered speechless by Marcus’s courage. It wasn’t like this wasn’t in her plans, but it came too soon she didn’t see it coming. Marcus, on the other hand, smiled in relief while assessing the look of surprise plastered on her face.
"I know you didn’t expect that," he uttered under his breath. "But I’ve been thinking about it and, to be honest, I feel like I would go crazy if I keep avoiding it."
"Marcus," Fil whispered, forcing her voice out. "Vincent... is your friend."
