【 CLOTHING STORE 】
My days with Kate were peaceful and full of bliss — but sometimes, chaos came knocking on our door.
…
We were at Leadenhall Market when Kate, hiding under a large hat pulled low over her face and a pair of glasses, wrapped a large scarf around my head and tied it securely under my chin.
Kate: There! Perfect! Now just keep your head down as much as you can, and don’t let anyone recognise you.
Liam: Okay… sorry.
Kate: You have nothing to be sorry for.
Kate: It’s just — right now, all we need to do is figure out how we’re getting out of this.
Her expression turned serious as she glanced towards the street outside and swallowed hard.
…
【 SHOPPING STREET 】
Standing next to her, I gulped too — then I took her hand and we exited the shop together.
The street was crowded to the brim with woman.
The very second they caught sight of us — their expressions changed.
Gaudily Dressed Woman: There he is! It’s Liam!!!
Nearby Women: KYAAAAAAA!!!!
(! They recognised me!)
Before I could get over my shock, several familiar women came sprinting towards me.
Kate stood there at a loss for words until I grabbed her arm and bolted in the opposite direction.
Liam: RUN!!!
The reason we’d ended up in this mess was because of a performance I did a few days ago.
[ Flashback ]
【 THE SCALA STAGE 】
Liam: “But soft! What light through yonder window breaks?”
Liam: “It is the east… and Juliet is the sun!”
A few days ago, I played Romeo in “Romeo and Juliet” at The Scala.
Thankfully, my performance was met with overwhelming praise, and I’d even made it to the newspaper headlines.
As a result, the play’s popularity grew rapidly and ticket were completely sold out all the way through the final performance.
Our play reached a much larger audience than we could ever have hoped for, but…
[ Flashback End ]
【 ALLEY 】
(I never thought it’d lead to this…)
We ran into a dark alley and Kate stood protectively in front of me to shield me from any passersby.
Kate: Huff… I can’t believe they were waiting for you outside the shop.
Ever since I made the headlines, crowds of young women who’d never so much as set foot inside a theatre before began flocking to The Scala.
I was glad they came to watch the play, but the big problem was what happened afterwards.
Instead of heading come once the curtains fell, they’d wait outside the theatre for the actors, and even chased us down on our days off.
(This isn’t my first time being chased by fans, but…)
These women only went after the male actors.
I'd heard stories of actors having dates with their lovers being interrupted, and some incidents that were close to causing them physical harm.
(I’m grateful they like me, but at this rate, Kate could get hurt because of me.)
Kate: Here I thought this disguise was flawless… I knew I should've given you a fake beard too.
Kate: Or maybe a wig too? But maybe it’s also simply impossible to disguise someone this handsome…
While I stood there overcome with guilt, Kate was busy agonising over our failed disguise and already trying to think of ways to improve it.
Liam: I’m really sorry. It’s my fault we can’t have a proper, normal date anymore…
Kate: No, it's not. If only I’d prepared the most perfect disguise…!
(… That’s what she’s worried about?)
In a time like this, Kate still didn't pin the blame on me.
It wasn't because she could see how guilty I felt, but because it genuinely never occurred to her to blame me to begin with.
(That part of her is what saves me every time.)
A rush of affection made me want to grab and kiss her right then and there.
I gently caressed her cheek, and as though knowing exactly what I wanted, Kate closed her eyes and moved her lips closer to mine.
Kate: Mm…
She looked so adorable, I wanted to see more.
My hand slipped beneath the hem of her skirt.
The moment my hand slowly traced her inner thigh, Kate jolted and smacked my shoulder.
Kate: Haa… nngh… Liam, we're in public…
Liam: I know… but you’re so cute, I can’t hold back anymore.
Deepening the kiss, I reached between her legs and lightly rubbed her sensitive spot with my finger.
The fabric gradually turned moist and warm.
Kate: N-No, not here…!
Liam: You don’t want it?
Kate: I-I do, but…! Your method of asking is just not fair…!
She wrapped her arms tightly around my neck, desperately trying to keep it in.
She was acting so awfully adorable that I was about to take things up a notch, when…
Young Woman with Black Hair: I found him!! He’s over here!!!
Liam • Kate: !
The women came rushing into the alley where the two of us were all over each other mere seconds ago.
(I thought we lost them…!)
Kate: KYAA!
Without a second thought, I scooped Kate into my arms and took off further down the alleyway.
Then, with a completely serious expression, she muttered,
Kate: … Maybe if we let them see us doing that, they’ll finally get off our backs.
Liam: You might have a point there… but I don’t want other people seeing how cute you look!
Kate: W-Well, I don’t want anyone seeing you make that face either!
She grumbled under her breath while still holding on to me with a sulky pout.
Kate: … You’re already this handsome, and they saw you looking that sexy…
My lover’s jealousy made my entire body feel all warm and fuzzy, and I couldn't hide my smile.
Liam: Don’t worry. I belong to you and only you, Kate.
Once we finally outran our pursuers, we gazed into each other’s eyes.
Kate looked slightly embarrassed, but I was happier than words could ever express.
Liam: I want you to claim every part of me, from my body to my heart and soul, to be yours.
Liam: And let me do the same to you.
I pressed a kiss to her cheek, and her face immediately lit up with a beaming smile.
Liam: Now then, my Juliet. Shall we continue our date?
Kate giggled and responded with an enthusiastic nod.
Kate: Yes. Take me anywhere you like, my Romeo.
After that, we went on with our date like we’d always do, even if it meant being spotted by fans and having to run away again.
It was an endless cycle, but Kate never stopped smiling through it all, and it had me thinking that perhaps a date like this wasn’t so bad after all.
…
【 LONDON TOWN 】
By early evening, my fans seemed to have given up on catching us.
We were finally able to stroll casually through town like an ordinary couple.
Kate: Fufu, today was so much fun.
Holding a bouquet of modern roses in her arms, Kate looked up at me with a radiant smile.
Kate: What kind of date should we go on tomorrow?
Hearing her casually talk about her plans for tomorrow made me appreciate the joy in having an ordinary day.
(Ahh, I’m so happy.)
I wanted tomorrow to come as soon as possible, yet at the same time, I wished life with her like this would last forever.
The deeper in love I fell with her, the brighter she seemed to shine… until she was almost too dazzling to look at.
Kate: Oh right. I believe the next play at The Scala is “A Midsummer Night's Dream”.
Kate: I’m sure it’ll be another splendid production…
Liam: Be sure to watch me from the best seat in the theatre.
Kate: Of course! Whoa—
Liam: Watch out!
A person coming around the corner bumped into Kate, knocking her off balance.
Liam • Kate: Mm.
I reflexively jumped to catch her, and then our lips met unintentionally.
???: Hah?
Still in that accidental kiss, we both turned in the direction of the voice.
The one who’d bumped into her was actually Jude.
He clicked his tongue, face twisting with a look of disgust.
Jude: Tch, the hell’re ya two makin’ out in the middle o' the street?
Ellis: You bumped into her first, Jude. Though seeing them turn towards us without breaking the kiss was kind of funny.
We looked at each other again and blinked several times, trying to process the moment.
The instant our lips parted… neither of us could hold it in any longer, and we burst out laughing together.
The sound of rain was gone now.
(… But is it really?)
Tell me.
Do you really believe this happiness will last forever?
(… Huh?)
I turned around at the sound of the voice seemingly speaking to me, but there was no one else apart from the passersby.
Kate: Liam, is something wrong?
Kate gently took my hand and tilted her head worriedly.
Liam: … It’s nothing. Let’s go home.
I laced my fingers with hers and we made our way home, chatting about all sorts of silly things.
