"Okay this is getting ridiculous guys. We can get through one take without laughing, I believe in us!" TJ's pep talk starts before the screen brightens to show the five person group are now standing in what seems to be a library of some sort.

"We get a bit further each time, so seventh time may be the charm?" Noheul offers. He relaxing a little ways away from the rest of the group, leaning against one of the many chairs pushed under the huge table that serves as the centerpiece of the room.

The manager walks over. "Actually we should be getting to the next shooting location soon, so you guys only have one more take."

Noheul raises his hand. "Vote to only film the last part just in case?"

Everyone's hands go up and they all hurry to positions around the main table.

The manger takes charge. "We'll start from Noheul's line 'I am from the Jungle'." He instructs. Everyone nods and readies themselves.

The scene fastforwards breifly, and everyone files out of the room at the end, following the manager.

The scene changes and returns to normal speed. The five boys are now in a forest of some sort. The cameras used for filming the scene are set up on a pathway, pointed so that it appears the five are in the middle of nowhere.

As the cameras are still being fiddled with filming in the new location hasn't yet started, and the boys are amusing themselves as they wait to begin.

Seongjun, Koda, and Hongsol are all huddled around a tree stump, whith Noheul has seemingly dragged TJ across the clearing from them, if the grip he has on TJ's upper arm is any indication.

"What is it with you Noheul-hyung? You hovered around me all of the last challenge and now you push yourself into my group even though it should be Yeou here. Is something up?" TJ's tone is a mix of challenge and genuine confusion, and he eyes the other three members of the group as if debating if he could sprint over to them before Noheul caught on.

Noheul sighs. "You know why. You were a ghost during the last eliminations, and then magically two minutes later you're completely fine? We both know that's bull. You're terrible at dealing with problems so you're pushing away the fact you feel guilty about G being eliminated."

TJ's eyes are narrowed and his hands are shaking slightly, but he keeps a wide smile plastered to his face. "I'm fine hyung, and you're being invasive. Just focus on filming well and leave me alone, okay?" With that he shakes off Noheul's hand and bounces over to the others, loudly asking what they're looking at.

Koda happily answers. "There's actually a plastic lizard that we get to use! We've named him Wiggle and we're getting angry at Seongjun-ie for killing him."

Seongjun whines pitifully. "I didn't know! I thought it would be edited in later or something! I don't want to hurt Wiggle!"

"I can take your role!" Koda volunteers immediately, smiling hopefully.

TJ laughs. "Not how this works Gosaeng. Also? You were very quick to decide you'd be okay killing Wiggle here."

Koda splutters angrily and tries to backtrack but TJ and Seongjun relentlessly while Hongsol just laughs.

Noheul hasn't moved from the tree where TJ had left him, and he watches the exchange with a small frown.

Their group's manager comes up behind him and clears his throat. "You alright?"

Noheul nods idly. "I'm good. Not so sure about someone else. But I guess you can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink."

The manager laughs slightly. "You sound like an old man Noheul-ah. Lighten up some, have fun! This is a comedy."

Noheul smiles at him. "Alright hyung. Thank you."

The manager nods. "Anyway we're ready to start whenever they stop messing around with the props.

Noheul hums. "I'll get them."

The scene changes to the six person van. Do Sanghyun is chatting with a few of the camera men while they set up in a hallway. Danny, Jihyun, and Ash are all standing nearby in costume while they wait for their cue to start. Na Sanghyun and Xaris are nowhere to be seen.

Danny is sporting a ridiculous looking wig and an ugly sweater. Ash is dressed quite normally in a dress shirt and nice coat, and his hair has been styled so he looks rather handsome.

Jihyun is by far the most noticable though. He's wearing a choker necklace and a red sports jacket over top of a short, sparkly silver dress. He looks completely comfortable as he leans against the wall, one leg propped up as if to show off the heels he's also wearing.

As the director calls for the scene to start the show camera focuses in on Do Sanghyun's conversation.

"I really kind of like that I won't be in any other scenes, even in the skit we did with Jackson I was a little uncomfortable. I prefer just singing, without all that extra stuff a lot of idols have to do."

Xaris seems to appear from nowhere to answer Do Sanghyun, though from the angle it's clear he'd simply been standing behind the camera man up to this point.

"You realize if you debut you'll have to do all that 'extra stuff' as well, right?" He's dressed mostly normally except for the beanie on his head and the five o'clock shadow on his face, put there by makeup.

Do Sanghyun shrugs awkwardly. "Yeah, but based on the people still in the show we'll probably have some really funny members in the group, so they'll be able to help me out." He points out.

Xaris hums understanding, and the two watch the scene being performed in front of them for a moment, until the entire set is interrupted by a very excited Na Sanghyun.

"Guys! Guys I got it!"

The young man bursts right through the middle of the set as he enters. His outfit is perhaps even more outlandish than Jihyun's, with a flowery jacket that screams gaudy, complete with a fake lace collar. The look is completed by a tiny black hat perched jauntily on his head.

"Sanghyun we were in the middle of a shoot-"

The excited young man doesn't even pay the slightest bit of attention to the director as he runs straight over to Do Sanghyun. "What's the most important part of any drama?" He doesn't give anyone a chance to speak as he answers himself. "The OST! So why doesn't Sanghyun - not me Sanghyun, him Sanghyun - act out the OST? Like every time you'd play it over a scene he comes in and start pretending to sing it and getting up in everyone's personal space? It would be hilarious and then you could have more parts!" He looks extremely proud of himself while he waits for his speech to sink in.

The director eyes Do Sanghyun critically before slowly nodding. "That.. that could actually work. It's up to you though kid, you'd have to improvise your parts."

Do Sanghyun freezes, a variety of emotions crossing his face before he settles on determined.

"I think I should be able to do it."

The director nods. "Alright then we start now. Let's see what you're capable of and then we'll decide if we make this addition permanent or not."

The scene changes to show the final group in what appears to be a classroom, presumably in SOPA. The four contestants have been joined by a large group of people who seem to be teachers or staff members, as well as a few younger faces.

"Thank you for joining us everyone, I know a lot of you normally wouldn't want to come to school on your day off." The woman who had greeted the contestants at the door is standing in front of the room addressing the gathering. A few of the older people chuckle but fall silent shortly after.

"We're here to help out with the filming of a PSA for the Community Chest, and we'e being assisted by these four JYP trainees."

Everyone politely claps. Jude smiles warmly at everyone while the others all seem to be a bit embarassed at the attention.

"Now, most of you will have small background roles, so once your scenes are finished you'll be free to go home. Are there any questions?"

Silence.

"Alright then, let's get into costume and makeup people, we're on a time limit!"

The congregation scatters, leaving the four contestants with the woman as well as one other man.

"Alright, we've worked out four parts for you to fill, but one of them only has a few seconds of screen time." The woman wastes no time getting straight to business, and Jude meets her half way.

"That shouldn't be a huge problem. Anything else we should keep in mind when deciding who's who?"

The woman nods. "I'd say the part of the young boy should be played by this young man here." She nods to Reito, who startles and furrows his brow as he tries to translate what's being said about him.

Jude nods. "Makes sense, the rest of us couldn't pull off anyone younger than sixteen I'd say."

She hums agreement. "And for the part of the narrator I'd say if one of you has ample experience he should take that part. It's a very difficult role and easy to mess up if done incorrectly."

KimQ smiles. "Then that will be you hyung, you're an amazing actor."

Jude smiles warmly at him. "Hey you aren't bad yourself, I was impressed during our last acting class."

Ant clears his throat. "Um, if there's a part with no talking I'll take that one."

The woman blinks and then laughs slightly. "Well then, it seems that's that. The part with only two scenes has no speaking lines, so it should fit what you're looking for." She looks to KimQ. "Would you mind having a slightly larger role then?"

KimQ shrugs amiably. "I think I can handle it so long as everyone is happy with their roles."

The man speaks up for the first time. "Alright then, I'll take you over to make up and we can start filming!"

The scene then picks up speed as it cuts back to the forest clearing, where Hongsol is making ridiculous poses while the others shout at him.

The next clip shows Do Sanghyun twirling around Danny and Ash, who are akwardly hugging.

Na Sanghyun is shown next, moving in a way that could resemble dancing if he didn't look so ridiculous.

A few clips show Reito flipping through what appear to be school books, followed by a shot of Jude in makeup getting his face painted like a clown's.

The clips speed up, blurring together until it's impossible to tell where one ends and next begins, or what any of them are about. Then abruptly the screen goes dark, and three voices call out at the same time.

"Cut! That's a wrap!"

The scene opens on an unfamiliar room. It appears to be a classroom of some sort, with a white board at the front and several rows of seats, each with a small desk attached to the arm. The white boards are mostly blocked by an electronic screen.

The remaining fifteen contestants are all sitting in the room, looking relatively well-rested but there's still a sleepy sort of silence muffling the air.

The door flying open quickly wakes everyone up though, and they sit up straight as JYP comes through the door with all his usual flair.

"Hello and welcome to the showing of your acting debuts! All of you were involved in filming three short videos yesterday, and today you'll get to watch them. Know that your reactions will be filmed so be polite. Or don't."

With that he flips off the lights and the camera zooms in on the screen as the projector boots up and begins to play the first show.

(Danny:Hyejin       Ash:Sungoon       Jihyun:Hari       Xaris:Shinhyuk       Na Sanghyun:RaRa       Do Sanghyun:Customer, OST Singer)

Almost everyone is laughing at the end, and TJ punches Do Sanghyun lightly in the arm.

"Way to get into everyone's personal space." He teases.

Koda looks vaguely affronted. "What were less-cool-Sanghyun and Jihyun even wearing? Why would they even let anyone dress them up like that? I'd never dress like that, I'm a real man!"

"Sure you are, Gogo." Danny drawls. He's sitting a bit behind the group, and TJ turns to give him the stink eye, which is held and returned.

Hongsol sighs. "While they're doing that, I'd like to say I think you guys did really well." He smiles up at Na Sanghyun and Ash, who smile back.

A loud throat clearing from the front of the room indicates the start of the next clip, and everyone falls silent so they can watch.

(TJ:Black T       Koda:White cap       Noheul:Black T w/ Words       Seongjun:Grey T       Hongsol:Red Striped T)

Everyone turns to look at Seongjun as the credits roll, and he drops his head onto the desk. "I'm sorry Wiggle!" He cries, causing laughter from his group.

Jude laughs and looks over at Hongsol. "I have no idea what I just watched, but you did really well, it was definitely entertaining."

Hongsol grins back. "I'm looking forward to your group's video, with you there it's easily going to blow our rookie attempts out of the water."

Jude shakes his head. "Maybe maybe not. Ours is a lot more serious. Humor often wins out for people."

Hongsol nods in understanding as the camera pans away and zooms back towards the screen where the last video has started.

(Jude:Narrator/Grown Son       Ant:Teenage Son       Reito:Young Son       KimQ:Wheelchair-Bound Deputy Director)

Hongsol is sobbing by the end.

"His dad... oh my gosh that is so nice and he never appreciated him..."

TJ pulls the blubbering man into a tight hug which Hongsol does not object to.

While the men sitting in the back comfort Hongsol, the one contestant who opted to sit close to the front is smiling softly, an expression that has rarely been seen on his face.

"You look happy Ant. We made a nice video, didn't we?" KimQ sits down next to the quiet man, who startles, but then smiles again.

"Yeah. I know I didn't do much but... I feel pretty accomplished. I guess that's why so many people want to be actors."

KimQ nods in understanding. "Well when you debut I'm sure you'll get lots of opportunities to act some more."

Ant raises an eyebrow. "If."

KimQ shrugs. "I say when. You're talented Ant, even if it's not through this show something tells me you're going to make it in the idol world."

Ant looks slightly surprised at the statement, and then he awkwardly looks down at his feet.

KimQ doesn't seem to mind his silence as he pats him lightly on the shoulder and heads back up towards the slowly calming Hongsol and the large group that has now gathered around him, leaving Ant staring contemplatively at the now dark screen.

"When..." He says it as if rolling the word around on his tongue, and then he smiles again. "Maybe."
