Chapter 3: It's just acting

                 In a stage in Japan, Jungkook was wearing a traditional Hanbok as he held a hand of an actress along with the rest of the cast of a play and bowed. It was an act from the traditional days in Korea, the play was called "My King" where Jungkook played a knight and fell in love with a princess. It was cliche but there was many people who loved these types of things, they loved the journey along the way. The play was taken to Japan for some of his fans and the people who wanted to know more of the culture through a romantic play.

            As soon as the curtains dropped, Jungkook released the actress's hand and took off the wig and traditional hat. "And scene! Thank you all." Jungkook said as a few staff members pushed a cart outside to pick up the gifts the audience tossed for them.

           "You did, Great..." The beautiful actress claimed as Jungkook made a smile.

           "I know right?" Jungkook chuckled and rolled his hair back as the actress smiled and tilted her head.

            "I was thinking.. Maybe we can go out soon... You know, while we are still in Japan." The beautiful woman asked as her dark brown eyes glistened with the thought of it.

              Jungkook looked at the girl and placed his hands on his hips. "Nah, I'm good." Jungkook replied as he walked to his dressing room as the girl let out a sigh.

          The alpha walked into his dressing room and gazed up his reflection as he sat down and made a smile. On his table was the script for 'Eungyo' and he let out a chuckle as he picked it up. "Heading back to my hometown to perform this. Ugh... Now I gotta hold hands with another girl." Jungkook then applied hand sanitizer as he looked at his reflection with a frown.

          "Which means, I have to kiss another girl." Jungkook rolled his eyes and picked up a moist lemon scented towel that was packed into a ziplock bag with lip balm aswell. "And she thought she can go out with me. Ha! I don't think so." Jungkook laughed as he opened the bag and started to clean his lips with it and apply his lip balm after.

           "When will these amateurs know that it's only acting? Not real. It's play pretend." Jungkook said as he layed back on the chair closing his eyes. Jungkook never liked performing much since he always had lead roles that led him to kiss the girl in every love story. Everytime after acting, the girls will try to ask him out and Jungkook would deny it. He just didn't want anything to do with them.

             As Jungkook rested his head back, A tall man walked in with a Hanbok, wig and a traditional cap walked in with a bottle of water and luggage. Jungkook opened his eyes and glared at the man.

            "Give me." Jungkook said as he held his hand out for the bottle of water.

          The handsome man sighed and handed the unopened bottle of water to the Alpha. "Jeon Jungkook, I was going to give you it anyways. You're welcome you brat." The man claimed as he took off his wig to show his bright, dirty blonde silk hair.

             "Why are you here, Taehyung?" Jungkook asked as Taehyung walked over to a couch and sat down.

            "Manager says he wants us to start packing so we can head to busan by tonight. You have a meet and greet tomorrow with your fans all day." Taehyung stated. Kim Taehyung was a tall and handsome Twenty-three year old Beta who worked alongside Jungkook. However, Jungkook received all of the spotlight and Taehyung only recieved just a second of it. In every play or even movie, Taehyung played a small role and nothing more. The two shared the same Manager, yet... His Manager loved Jungkook more and tried his best to score Jungkook leading roles while the Beta only recieved small one second roles.

              Taehyung always despised that and wouldn't call himself an actor. No one knew his name, he was just another silent voice in the crowd. Jungkook of course never liked having Taehyung as an 'actor' who tagged along to everything. In Jungkook's eyes, the Beta was only an annoying reminder of how he might get pushed off of his spot as an actor so Taehyung can quickly take his place. It bothered him and slightly worried him.

             "Tell Manager Xin I said, Thanks."

              "Woah, you finally said thank you? Huh, I bet kissing and turning down that girl changed your ways."

               "Very funny, I don't want anything to do with her. I don't want any girl I act with." Jungkook said. "They only love me when I kiss them."

             "Oh... Never thought of it that way. Jungkook, what's it like to get the main lead?"

             "Oh it's just like your roles. But I get more lines and I'm more important." Jungkook laughed as Taehyung scoffed. "Ah, I'm just playing."

            "Have you ever acted with a man? You know... Where you have to kiss another gu-"

            "Nope. Never have. Just like I've never acted in an erotic movie." Jungkook claimed as Taehyung nodded.

            "You don't like erotic movies?" Taehyung wondered.

            "I'll have to expose myself for the camera and that is something I don't like to do. I can take off my shirt but other than that, I don't want to deal with it."

           "What if I score a leading part in an erotic movie?" Taehyung asked as Jungkook started to laugh.

           "Go ahead. You go for that." Jungkook said as Taehyung smiled. "I won't get mad, erotic movies want actors to be sexy and I don't feel comfortable taking off my clothes and looking at a girl's..." Jungkook then shivered. Throughout all the Alpha's acting life. He had to act like he loved girls... It never bothered him at first but then he started getting asked out by all these women who never cared to look his way before he gives them a kiss or a hug.

          Taehyung then picked up a poster and looked at the Alpha's Ari Theaters advertisement. "Eungyo? It must be the clean version then.. Guess you gotta kiss another girl." Taehyung laughed as Jungkook sighed and grabbed his luggage by the handle.

             "Ugh, at the end of the day, it's just acting and nothing more. Why can't they understand that?" Jungkook asked as he looked at his luggage. "I'm ready to go already. I want to go home." Jungkook sighed as he dragged his luggage out of the dressing room. "I just want to go and act... Nothing else or no one else will hold me back."
