28 Dream High #0

"Minjae, you're telling me, that you kicked that guy not only in the face, but in the balls as well? Yaaaaaaa, I really don't want to encounter you when you're mad, you are way too scary." Sehun was currently sitting with Jaemin on the couch, watching tv. It was the day after the party, so he and Sehun had to meet up at his apartment to discuss some important matters, like what had happened to him.

Jaemin had gone home right after he told her his name, not even asking for hers.

He was curious, what was her name? He was certain that she was a celebrity, she wouldn't feel familiar otherwise. He just didn't know which one she was. Was she a model, an actress or an idol?

Aish, he should have just asked.

Jaemin just kept being indifferent about it, because he knew he was right. "Yeah, I could be receiving a call from the police if she has reported me, but it won't be a big problem, I did nothing wrong."

"Lets just hope for the best. By the way, tomorrow morning is going to be the first time for you shooting a drama right?" Sehun looked at Jaemin with curious eyes, wanting to know more about it.

Ah, that's true, JYP was going to bring him and Suji to the set at 9 a.m.

He was truly excited about that, he didn't think he'd be able to sleep tonight, his endless energy supply due to this fact just wouldn't run out...

"Yeah, I think I won't be able to sleep tonight."

"I know I will, anddd... I have to go home right now, have fun sleeping!" Sehun had this mischievous smile on his face that was trying to mock him, and just walked out of his apartment, just like that.

What a bastard....

He heard his door closing, making him the only person in his apartment again.

It was going to be a night to remember....

Jaemin had just woken up because of his extremely loud alarm clock he had set at around 6 a.m.

He got out of bed, and finished his morning routine like usual, but just a bit slower, due to the fact that he had almost gotten no sleep at all.

Luckily his Health stat was high, which made him have a bit more energy than others, else the dark circles under his eyes would be visible for even the average Joe removed a mile away from him to see.

After washing his face and the like, he moved on towards his closet.

Now comes something important, clothing.

When people go on a date or anything else that's important to them, the majority of them would try to dress so good, that the other party would be impressed by his or her style. And Jaemin was no exception to this fact, he wanted to impress Suji and his other co-stars.

So how should he dress himself today? A bit more casual, or more formal?

When Jaemin was ruffeling through his closet looking for suitable clothing, he suddenly stopped.

..

"Fuck"

He had completely forgotten the first scene of Dream High that he had to act in, which was the scene of a country boy, wearing a freaking rice bag and a wig that would even make the queen of England sick. Was it even needed, dressing well?

Wait...

Did he even need to act at all today?

The beginning of Dream High originally didn't begin with Kim Soo-hyun's role, but with 2PM's Taecyeon's role.

He had no idea how long it would take to shoot a scene, so he was clueless on when he would begin to act his first scene.

He would probably have to wait a few hours, and that wasn't so bad at all, it was more like a golden opportunity to get closer with his co-stars!

Especially Suji, JYP himself and IU!

Suji played the female lead, the love interest of the two male leads, Go Hye-mi

JYP played the role of one of the Kirin High School teachers, and he is the one who supports them in their journey towards fame, Yang Jin-man

IU played the role of a fat girl with aspirations to become a singer, who also is a student at Kirin High School. She falls in love with Jason, 2PM's Wooyoung. Her name in the drama is Kim Pil-sook.

Taecyeon played one of the male leads who falls in love with Hyemi, Jin-guk/Hyun Shi-hyuk

He himself also plays the role of a male lead, a country bumpkin to be exact, who also falls in love with Hyemi, but suffers from a rare disease, Song Sam-dong

The drama is about six students at Kirin High School who have a dream of becoming K-pop idols, which was ironically very similar compared with his own story. They learn how to sing, dance, and write songs during their school years, and some of them eventually develop feelings for each other.

A typical drama storyline, filled with innocence.

That aside, he will just dress himself casually, no need for anything special. Probably because he would be completely shamed on when he needs to wear a rice bag and a wig that would make him look homeless.

He was bound to receive some laughs from the directors, maybe even Suji... And IU.....

Aghhh, why didn't he play Jin-guk in the drama! He played the absolute cool guy! That was a role especially suitable for him, but here he was, playing the role of Soohyun...

Not that it was bad, his role had more importance than Taecyeon's role, since....

(Author note: I don't like spoilers...)

Nevermind....

He will act this role even better than Soohyun did! He will make all hearts of the Korean people tremble in excitement because of his legendary acting! He will make all girls in the world faint from love because of his perfection! He will make all drama and movie directors go into a fierce battle to be able to invite him over as an actor in their work! He will do it all!

He loved encouraging himself, so he did. It was useful for him as well, to keep his mind straight.

He grabbed some random jacket out of his closet and picked the pants he wore yesterday, it was his favorite pair because it was so comfortable to wear, so he decided to wear it again.

He began eating his breakfast that he had prepared yesterday after he was done dressing himself in front of the tv.

It was a bit boring, eating all alone.

At times like this, he wished he could see his parents.

He hadn't gotten a real girlfriend in his last life, so he had always been forced to eat alone at home. The only time he had eaten with other people was at his job, or when he was at his parents' house.

He was a physician, a surgeon to be exact, in the past, he had quite a lot of money and had fared for himself quite wel.

People would think he'd go and study performing arts right? No.

He wasn't fit for it, at least, in the past, and he had noticed this fact very early on. Even though it wasn't what he really wanted to do, he studied medicine instead, to live a good life. His parents had wanted him to not dwell on it so much, so he listened to them.

And ironically, he was quite gifted in it.

He had gotten through university pretty easily, and had quickly found a job as a surgeon at a fairly prestigious hospital. He had pulled a lot of all-nighters in that place, so it was only natural he had to dine there with his co-workers a few times.

But he didn't enjoy it, not one bit.

His only hope was being the oldest trainee in SG Entertainment in the past, but he failed too quickly.

He had managed to hang on for a little bit as a surgeon, but after a while, he couldn't anymore. He hadn't found anyone, or anything he loved. He didn't enjoy his life.

He quickly got depressed, and ended his life, just like that.

Looking back, it was foolish, but he was happy he did it.

Look at him now, what kind of life was he living? It was the life he had wished for!

The only bad thing about it right now, was that he couldn't see his parents that often. He called them a lot, but he couldn't see them in person.

They didn't live in Seoul after all.

A lot of other idols and trainees suffer from this as well, especially the ones who come from other countries, they have it even worse than him.

Trainees have a pretty hard life.

He will get through it, his first drama will be filmed today after all!

He finished his breakfast, put on his coat, locked the door and went on his way to the JYP building.

"Journey, start!"
