Story Summary

This story takes place in Year 3. Luke is engaged to the MC.

Luke and the MC are eating when the MC asks if Luke is free this weekend. Luke says that he will be helping the fire department shoot a promotional video for fire prevention. To help him prepare so that he looks best for the video, the MC subjects him to a pampering skincare session by applying a facial mask on him, leading to some comedic and sweet moments between the two. Later, Luke gets a call from Aaron Yishmir, telling Luke to ask the MC if she can substitute one of the extras who suddenly got sick. Luke says she doesn’t have to but she agrees. He then becomes anxious.

Luke and the MC get to the film shooting. They meet the director who goes over Luke’s morning shoot. The director also says that Luke will be doing a topless scene. Luke asks if the MC is okay with it, and she agrees. During makeup, the makeup artist compliments Luke’s skin. The makeup artist then asks the MC to apply oil on Luke's body. The room fills with tension as the MC starts applying oil on Luke. The makeup artist comes back to give clothing to them and says that Luke’s partner, the puppy, is waiting. They meet the puppy and Luke practices his scene with the MC.

The morning shoot is a success. Everyone is on route to the fire drill site for the afternoon shoot. For that, the MC will be playing a trapped civilian and Luke will be rescuing her. After meeting the Fire Commander, Luke teaches the MC some fire escape knowledge.

The afternoon shoot starts. The MC and other “trapped civilians” are put into the fire protection building. A while passes as the drill starts and the room the MC is “trapped” in starts to fill with smoke. She gets a call from Luke and he says another fire in the building popped up, and tells her to listen for announcements and watch the drone cameras. He also says he might not be the one that comes to rescue her. The MC assures him that she’s safe with the fire training she received. Time passes and the MC is still trapped in the building; her fire mask is nearly out of use and the window is cracking. Suddenly, she hears Luke’s voice outside the window. She tries to open the window, but it’s stuck.

Luke manages to break the window using tape and a break glass hammer. He is visibly tense as he reports to the commander, and then panics when the MC's voice comes out extremely thin. The MC pushes her forehead to his lips and says she’s fine. Luke kisses her forehead then helps her down. When both of them touch the ground, Luke kisses her hard. They are then sent to rest. Luke feels bad about how everything turned out. But the MC reassures him that everything's fine now and that she's happy to have had this experience with him. She asks Luke to teach her more safety tricks so she can stay safe. Later, the director meets up with them and apologized for what happened. He also mentions that he has checked the drone footage of the shoot - he acknowledges their great performance, but unfortunately, the kiss scene had to be cut.

Two weeks have passed. Luke meets up with the MC and tells her that Aaron had an emergency and rode off on his motorcycle. They take the subway instead, where suddenly the fire safety promotion video is played in the electronic screen. Luke and the MC move to a corner to avoid people as more passengers look up to watch the video. Girls start complimenting Luke’s character and how his concern towards the civilian seems very real. Luke and the MC decide to get off the next stop due to embarrassment. The MC wonders how their "kiss scene" looked like in the video. Luke teasingly kisses her and tells her that he can do that for her anytime. He will be asking the director for the unedited original footage and they will watch it together at home.

Video Call

Video Call		Luke: Burning Heart (After Story 6)

Video Call script

Luke: Good afternoon. Hope I'm not interrupting anything. How's work? Everything going okay?

Luke: Hehe, that's good to hear. I figured you were on your afternoon tea break right now, so I decided to call.

Luke: Where am I...? Oh, I'm investigating in a forest on the outskirts of Stellis.

Luke: Last time, you mentioned wanting to learn different survival skills so I wouldn't worry about you so much. I haven't forgotten about it.

Luke: I'm checking this place out so I can bring you here next time and teach you some wilderness survival skills!

Luke: According to my investigation, this forest has plenty of plants and very few dangerous creatures, making it the perfect place to teach you.

Luke: So, when are you free? I'm available anytime... Oh? That day? Okay! It's a date!

Luke: Hey, just remember to go to bed early the night before and get plenty of sleep... It'll be a pretty exhausting day. I'm worried it might be hard for you to get through it.

Luke: We'll be trekking a long way and completing lots of survival training activities. Those can get pretty physically demanding.

Luke: But there's one thing you don't have to worry about—I've prepared all the equipment required for outdoor training!

Luke: Oh? Don't worry, I know the size you usually wear. There's no way I'd buy the wrong size!

Luke: W-why are you looking at me like that... Don't jump to conclusions! It's because I sign for your deliveries sometimes, and the receipts all show the sizes...

Luke: Yep, leave it all to me! Oh, is that someone calling for you? Is your break almost over?

Luke: Then head back to work! I'll pick you up after work tonight once I'm finished with the investigation here, then we can go have dinner together.

Luke: Actually, I found a restaurant that looked pretty special on the way here. I wouldn't mind trying it out with you! Okay, it's settled then. See you tonight.
