Drowning [KTH x BTS]

Drowning.

The members were at the studio filming a video for one of their newest songs. They'd been working on it for a few days. There were some individual scenes where members would be called up to film their parts, although whenever one of them would be called to film their solo part they would whine and complain because it meant they had to step away from whatever fun the group was having in their downtime.

Taehyung already knew that his scene would involve him having to act out a drowning scene in a water tank. The part was up for grabs from any of the members and nobody else really wanted to do it, and everyone claimed that Taehyung should because he was such a great actor. He didn't mind. He thought it would be a cool scene and he wanted to make it look as realistic as possible.

While the others were getting their hair and makeup done, Taehyung was with Jimin at the snack table discussing how he was going to go about the scene.

"Jiminie, what if I flail like this?" Taehyung suggested and started flailing his arms around. Jimin burst out laughing because his best friend looked ridiculous.

"I can't tell if you're serious or not," Jimin laughed.

"This isn't a laughing matter! I have to drown!" Taehyung teased.

"Obviously not for real!" Jimin teased back.

Yoongi came up behind them after he was done with his hair, "Maybe you should go practice in a bathtub somewhere."

"Practice what?" Taehyung asked.

"Drowning, duh," Yoongi shrugged. Taehyung started pouting and Yoongi patted him on the back pleading that he was just kidding.

"You're too serious sometimes," Yoongi smiled and started tickling Taehyung playfully. The younger ran away laughing and Jimin followed him.

While running around and playing with Jimin, a staff member called Taehyung over and said it was time for him to film his part. He had been excited, but once he was brought over to the water tank he couldn't help but feel a bit nervous. He worried about not being able to act well, and worried about it looking stupid.

"Oh Taehyung-ah," Hobi started as he made his way over to stand next to Taehyung and look at the water tank , "You're brave for this."

"What if I don't do well?" Taehyung pouted to his hyung.

"You'll do great!" Hobi encouraged cheerfully. All of the members were free to come over and wanted to watch Taehyung film his part. He felt a bit more pressured with everyone watching, but it was all the more motivation to do well.

"Are you nervous?" Jungkook asked. Taehyung nodded his head. "It could be worse hyungie, at least it's not an actual river or anything and just a tank!" the maknae smiled.

Jin had turned to a staff member who helped set the tank up, "Is this safe? I mean there's no way he could actually drowned while filming right?" Jin couldn't help but be worried. He always worried a bit when any of his dongsaengs had to film something that looked slightly dangerous.

The staff member asked Taehyung if he knew how to swim. Taehyung nodded.

"He'll be fine then," the staff replied. The members looked at Taehyung and he shrugged, "I guess I'll be fine then, yeah?"

The director guided Taehyung over to the tank. He had to climb up a ladder onto a platform, where he'd jump into the tank of water and the camera would record him from the front.

Hobi got nervous just watching Taehyung climb the ladder. He couldn't believe some of the stuff they had to or were willing to do when it came to their video shoots.
