A low laugh rumbles in his throat, he’s enjoying this a little too much. Romance watches her with a tucked chin, eyes flicking away — she’s flustered. Did he do that? Hair falls into his eyes and he whips his head to the side, strands flipping out of the way. Perfect for the camera. His fingers flex before he plants his palm gently against the small of her back.
“ Alright, partner. We move together, yeah? Slow and steady wins the race. If you feel even the slightest wobble — tell me. Or pull the other way, and I’ll adjust. ” He leads them closer to the plank, carefully, fingers tightening around hers. “ You follow my lead, and I promise we won’t fall . . . If we do — I did say I’ll make it look romantic. ” He grins with a wink as he continues to guide her with more gentleness than the cameras will probably pick up on. He tries not to think about how warm she feels against him or how the scent of her perfume makes his heart flutter. Swallowing it down with a smile that’s mostly for show. Eyes on the prize, Romance. Free publicity, camera time, that's what this is all about. Right? “ Gwaenchana ( are you okay ) ? ” he asks just as they reach the plank before crossing, lips brushing the word too close to her temple. “ Ready? ”
