Jisung was convinced the audition went like crap.

Like, actual flaming trash.

He'd fumbled his line in the middle of the second take, stuttered through the emotional bit, and then ended the whole thing with a voice crack that could've peeled paint off the studio walls. His manager said he was being dramatic. Jisung said he was being realistic. Big difference.

So when his phone buzzed at 2:37 a.m., he expected it to be a spam email or some sketchy k-pop quiz result he never finished.

Instead it was something quite different,

Subject: confirmation – "love that lasts" casting

He stared at it for three whole seconds.

Then—

"WHAT THE FUCKKKK.."

He was too busy unlocking the email with hands that were suddenly way too shaky.

Dear han jisung,

We are thrilled to inform you that you have been selected to play the lead role of "eunjo" in the upcoming bl drama 'love that lasts.'

His brain short-circuited.

Lead role.

Bl drama.

Confirmed.

Him...?

He let out a half-laugh, half-sob and rolled off his bed, hitting the floor with the grace of a drunk potato. "i got it. I fucking got it. Holy-"

He grabbed the script off his desk, it was half-buried under snack wrappers and an empty iced coffee cup that may or may not have been fermenting. Flipping through the cover, his eyes scanned for the cast list.

There it was.

Cast: Eunjo (Han Jisung), Jaewon (Lee Minho)

Pause.

Lee Minho?

As in, that Lee Minho?

The one that did that viral drama with the cheating girlfriend and the hot kitchen crying scene (at least minho was hot in it). That Minho?

Jisung dropped his phone.

"What the fuck?! Oh fuckity fuck fuck FUCK."

His brain was spiralling. He wasn't even technically a real actor yet. His biggest role so far had been playing a ghost in a web drama where he didn't even get a backstory. Now he was suddenly co-leads with someone who had fan sites and airport photos?

"Oh, i'm gonna die," he whispered, flopping back onto the floor. "they're gonna fire me in like a week. Or worse—he's gonna think i'm annoying. Oh god, what if we have a kiss scene and i sneeze?"

His phone buzzed again.

Manager-nim 💀

Don't panic. First table read is friday at 11. Congrats, dumbass.

Jisung stared at the message. Then looked back at the script. Then screamed into his pillow.

He was going to be on-screen. Like, really on-screen. His name in credits. His face in trailers. People might actually care about who the hell han jisung was now.

And he was going to be acting with lee fucking minho.

Part of him wanted to celebrate. Part of him wanted to throw up. Most of him wanted to call his mom and cry for twenty minutes but she was 100% asleep and would probably ask if he was dying.

Somewhere, in the back of his overcaffeinated, under-slept little brain, a quiet voice said, don't fall for him.

Yeah.

Too late.
