58 Specials Finale:Behind the scenes Part-1

Hello everyone.Poppy here.Today,in the last chapter of this book,I decided to skip all that blood,murders and sadness aside and present to you the happiest part of this series,the Behind the scenes edition of Crimson Love.

To begin with,Crimson Love was a simple idea in my brain until I started typing it out on my word processor.I would agree with some of you who might think that the chapters are boring and lifeless as it is my first ever write up.

But somehow,through the course of the story,I felt that my characters came to life.Their smile made me smile and their cries made me cry.I hope you feel the same too.Today,I will introduce you to those people who form the crust of my story,the characters.Since it is a BL story,I will introduce them in corresponding couples.Enjoy!

Mark and Akio:

"What makes you both late today?"I question,as I continuously stare at them,thinking what they had in mind while dressing up.Maybe today was a bad dress day,literally speaking.They both had come dressed up in their Pj's.

"Sorry.We were stuck in traffic."Akio apologized.

"Yes.We really were."Mark followed.

I brushed off the tantrum with that cute excuse but the fact they came dressed up in Pj's blew my patience.I finally asked them.

"Did you not know we had an interview,that too with all my audience expecting you to be well dressed as you are the main character?"I questioned Akio.I hover my eyes towards Mark, "And what about you,Mark?

"See,everyone would me to dress up but I wanted to follow what you said,Kill the Cliche.I wanted to surprise everyone with my peculiar wardrobe choices."Akio muttered.

"Seems like a good explanation."I nod my head. "You both forgot about the interview,didn't you?"I question,squinting my eyes at them.

"Uh...how...did...you...know?"Mark hesitatingly questioned.

"Just a hunch."I reply coldly. "Anyways,tell us more about your character,Mark."

"To begin with,Mark is the total opposite of what I am.My character completely contrasts with his character.He is the victim of bullying,I was a bully.He is a weakling who gets saved by a Japanese boy,who completely turns his life upside down..However,one thing that makes us find common ground is Chai.I love chai and I drank a lot of it during the shooting.I especially loved the tea made by Poppy.Even Akio likes it."Mark looked at Akio,who was trying to avoid eye contact with me.

"No wonder all my Chai used to disappear."I reponded in anger. "Akio,would you introduce yourself?"

"Konnichiwa.Akio here.I am acting as Akio,a valiant Japanese transfer student,who saves Mark from getting bullied.However,as the story progresses,I fall in love with him,a thing I was not allowed to do.When Mark coincidentally meets me,he realises I am not who he perceive to be."Akio narrated.

Quite a formal introduction."I comment."What about your transition?"I question Mark.

"For becoming the fat chubby guy you wanted,I had to go on a junk food diet,and I was actually enjoying it,but suddenly,you requested me to loose weight and I had to skip all that good food."

"I am sorry."I sarcastically apologize."Tell us more about the Bl scenes.Mark,would you like to go first?

Mark crosses his thigh over the other."Now this is something embarrassing."He hesitatingly laughs,glancing at Akio.

"Tell us more about the kissing scenes."I sneakily request.

"The kiss scenes were very awkward to shoot.We had a total of 6 kissing scenes together(chapters:30,33,36,38,41 and Epilogue).I requested Akio to help me as I knew nothing about it.However,you were not happy and requested us to do retakes."He said,staring at me.

"Me?..When did I ask you for retakes?"I question,trying to show as much innocence as possible and hiding the daredevil fujoshi cackling inside my head.

"You asked.I remember.I had to do the the extreme scene with Mark in chapter 38 and you asked us to keep doing it again and again.Everyone approved the scene but you kept on calling for retakes.You really liked the scene,didn't you?"Akio interrogated.

"Ahem...ok...It is almost time for you to leave."I frantically speak as I push them out of the door,to prevent them from digging information.

"Wait,the final line is still remaining."I tug Akio's sleeve,gaining Mark's uninvited hate.

"Dear Readers,please make sure to read Crimson Love till the very end.It has a message embedded into it."Akio trills as I push him out of the door.

"Phew."I sigh as I wipe a bead of sweat from my forehead."Being an interviewer is actually difficult."I mumble to myself.
