"So after Hwarang we thought about the next member to lead in a kdrama", Bang PD announced at the weekly meeting in the Big Hit building. Yoongi yawned, mumbling to himself, "I hope it's not me." Hoseok who sat next to him, elbowed his side lightly, telling him to listen to what their PD had to say.

"Who is it then?", Jungkook asked, his eyes focused on his cracked phone screen, which he secretly held underneath the table. This time Taehyung yawned. It has been a stressful year for him, his schedule filled with fan meetings, shooting scenes for Hwarang, the World tour, and the endless nights of dance practices for the new comeback.

"Jungkook", PD smiled and clapped his hands once.

All the members looked at the youngest with wide eyes, some trying to hold back their laughter because no one could actually imagine him starring in a drama.

Jungkook was too focused on his game that he didn't even hear his name being mentioned. Jin rolled his eyes and grabbed the younger's phone, making him whine when he lost the game. "Jin, that's no no hae- why are you all looking at me?", Jungkook raised his brows.

PD sighed. "Jungkook. You will be starring in the next drama on KBS. It's a short drama only but it will promote bangtan plus your popularity will rise as well."

"Huh? Me? But... But I can't even act!", Jungkook's eyes widened, his palms starting to get sweaty because of his nervousness. Jimin giggled and patted the younger's shoulder. "Oh come on international playboy... We all know you secretly practice in the bathroom in front of the mirror! Time for Actor Jeon Jungkook to shine!" Jimin high-fived Taehyung and they laughed. "They grow up so fast..", Namjoon sighed, wiping a fake tear away.

PD smiled satisfied. "Alright, guys you can leave but oh, wait... I didn't give you any details about the drama", he chuckled, hitting his forehead. Yoongi coughed dryly at his actions. "So as I said the drama will be on KBS and it is called 'Last Dance'. It is about a young couple, trying to get famous as a duo."

Taehyung's eyes widened. "Couple? So Kookie has to act along with a girl?! And they have to be all lovey-dovey?!", he said in a teasing voice.

Jungkook's eyes widened and he stared into emptiness, already panicked about the image of love scenes. With a girl.

"Don't worry, the author of the story said it's an innocent, pure love", he giggled ruffling Jungkook's hair.

"Who will be the female lead role?", Namjoon asked, leaning back in his chair.

PD looked through the pages of the short script which KBS sent him a few days ago. "Uh... Oh! Here I got it... Red Velvet's Kim Yerim!"
