"Pretending"

Emotions

Hyungwon bit the inside of his lip and watched as Jihoon and Seungcheol greeted the blond. He was wearing a white, belt-adjustable hat over his blond hair,  a black shirt and matching black pants with a denim jacket. The two waved to each other for a small moment before Jihoon addressed Minhyuk.

"I was expecting you, you've been overly active in the production so far." Jihoon leaned back in his chair and spun the pen around in his hand. Seungcheol opted to lean forward and give a small briefing.

"There's still a really good chance you won't get the part. You won't go all crazy on us if we don't give it to you, right?"

"Do I really look like someone that would do that?" Minhyuk had rolled up the script and touched one end of the tube to his chest. Seungcheol moved his palms so they were facing the ceiling in a shrug.

"We never know, it's happened before."

"Hyungwon are you ready?" Soonyoung asked. All four of the other people in the room were looking at him and waiting for his answer.

"Yeah?" He felt a little lost, he didn't know why they needed his consent.

"Minhyuk, you know the drill. This time, you won't be speaking to us, you'll be speaking with Hyungwon." The two nodded at each other before Minhyuk unrolled his papers and cleared his throat.

"I'll be performing Act 23, scene 42." He waited for everyone to get to the page before clearing his throat again and getting himself into character.

Hyungwon briefly read over the scene. He had called Jerry a few minutes before to see if he wanted to hang out but Jerry said he was busy and it turns out they were both at the park. Hyungwon saw him with Bin but didn't reveal himself. He had walked to another park and that's when Minhyuk's character, Yujin, came in, seeing his broken expression, and tried to help him. After a long walk to the park, Yujin had figured out everything.

"Before you start, if you're doing that scene, Hyungwon, do you mind getting up just so I could get a feel for you two acting together?" Soonyoung interrupted.

"Can I use the chair?" He asked, feeling a little silly for doing so but he felt like it would help him too.

"Yeah, bring it over here." Jihoon encouraged the action with two fingers.

Once everything was set up they got into the mood again.

"You don't really look like someone that would just let that happen. I mean, you were hurt when you saw them together right?" Minhyuk was hunched over his knees, looking down at the script which replaced the part of the floor he was supposed to be looking at.

Hyungwon scoffed and shook his head, leaning back and pretending his face was basking in the sun. He felt Minhyuk lean back onto one of the arms he spread out. "Nah, if they want to be together then what's the point of me being there?" He broke his character to look at the script for his next line.

"That doesn't explain why you looked so broken. Was it the blond one or the black-haired one?"

"That's information I'm not exactly thrilled to share with someone I just met, vice-versa." Hyungwon scooted away from the stranger.

"I know you! Or well, I hear all the things about you. I don't know why everyone believes them, though." Hyungwon chuckled at the statement.

"I feel like I've heard this too many times before." He waved his hand in the air in mockery before standing, when Minhyuk did the same he put on an irritated facial expression. "Loo-" Hyungwon cut himself off, "What's your name?"

"Yujin."

"Yujin," Hyungwon pressed his hands together in a clap, folding the papers a little, "I'm fine, thank you for your concern, but really."
