Chapter Text
Jaekyung and Heesung, aspiring actors from The Korea National University of Arts. With a bachelor's in Creative Writing and Musical Theatre, the internship is on its way. Both of the rookies are top of their class for their attendance and projects. Those countless nights of scripting and fine-tuning the already time-consuming final year project have paid everything off.
2 months after school break, the duo got a call from a director/producer, Mingwa (😙). A director with multiple award-winning web dramas tells them that she saw their final year project. Any person knew that Mingwa had a successful web drama about a cam boy and his viewer called “BJ Alex”. This is a big opportunity for the rookies. After meeting with the Mingwa herself, they agreed on joining her acting gig as the main character of “Jinx”.

For once more, Heesung and Jaekyung are working together again. The duo is inseparable, with Heesung handsome face and Jaekyung's muscular body from boxing. They are all the rage at classes, and everyone has a crush on them. They don't mind the pining of girls. But Heesung...? Oh, boy, he LOVED the attention from others. That annoyed the more private Jaekyung.
Fall was coming right around the corner, and the date was set. To meet Mingwa and the rest of the cast.
“Hello everyone, my name is Joo Jaekyung. I'm a TA at KNUA and a part-time boxer, and I would love to work with you all.” Jaekyung bowed.
“Hello, my name is Choi Heesung. A student at KNUA and a part-time model. Please treat me kindly!” Heesung also bowed.
“Hello, my name is Hwang Yoongu (Potato), an actor for Mingwa for 2 years now. Nice to meet you!” The short man also bowed. Heesung felt something in his heart for a second before dismissing it as being nervous.
“Hello everybody, I'm Kim Dan, a medical student at Seoul Hospital (?) and an actor for Mingwa for 3 years. Hoping for a great project with you all!” He bowed.
Jaekyung breathed a sigh of relief, having gone through the stage fright he had. Heesung, on the other hand, couldn't stop gazing at Yoongu. Jaekyung nudged the strawberry blonde man.
“What the fuck are you looking at?” Jaekyung teased his friend.
“Nothing…” The man was currently in his own world, daydreaming about the shorter man, Potato.
Jaekyung smiled at himself. Entertained by the latter's antics.

For a week, filming was rough, especially for Jaekyung. Jaekyung's character is supposed to be mean, cold-hearted. He wasn't that cold-hearted. He was kind at heart. But acting tough was out of character.
“Great job both of you! Jaekyung really put his whole heart in that scene, yeah?” Mingwa told the crew and walked away. Dan looked at Jaekyung and patted his back.
“Good job, big guy.” Dan smiled at him and walked away. Jaekyung looked at Dan, smiling, signalling that he was satisfied with his work.
While taking off his boxing gloves, Heesung nudged his friend.
“Look at you smiling. Someone caught your eye?” Teased the strawberry blonde.
“Shut up. I'm merely satisfied with my work.”
Heesung giggled at him, earning a flick on the ear.
“What the fuck, dude! Ow!”
Jaekyung stuck out his tongue.
“Not cool!” Heesung rubbed his ear before playfully pushed the man.
“I'm hungry, want to get lunch?”
“Sure.”
