"T-Hi!"
Web drama? Of, by and for TREASURE? Eunbyul looked at the staff with an impressed look, clapping her hands softly along with the others as she tried to wrap her head around the facts.
Auditioning again? She grimaced. She hated every second of auditioning for SM and YG, and now she had to do it again for some T-MAP episode. For the fans, for our TEUMES, she convinced herself, taking deep breaths as she listened in on Hyunsuk's explanation.
"Is Eunbyul going to be the love interest?"
"Oh, can we do that?"
"Wow, twelve guys over one girl? That's no joke."
With each comment and idea the boys gave, Eunbyul felt a rock being thrown on her in like the animes she watched. She shook her head as she saw the brainstorming expression on the faces of the staff, stopping them from getting any ideas.
"No, it's a bromance, plus me. Kind of like a friendship blossoming, coming-of-age drama. Right?" Eunbyul skimmed through the papers in her hand, turning towards the staff to see if she was right.
The staff nodded in agreement, before explaining that they should fill in the forms for their acting auditions. Eunbyul's eyes widened as they informed she was going with the first group, feeling nervous even though it was just a T-MAP episode.
She nervously walked in along with the others, eyes widening as her gaze landed on their most senior artists, SECHSKIES. Eun Jiwon and Jang Suwon sat in the seats, greeting the younger artists as they walked in, completely awestruck.
"Let's hear your introductions first," Jiwon stated, making eye-contact with Eunbyul. "Eunbyul, you can start."
"Hello, I am the maknae of TREASURE, Park Eunbyul." She bowed politely, smiling as she usually did.
"It says here you are born in 2005?" Suwon pointed out, wondering if he was seeing right. "Wah, and you are 180cm tall? You are really tall."
"Yes, in 2005. Oh, thank you!"
Jiwon rested his chin on his palms, giving a slight smile to the nervous female. "You have a pretty face too. What did you eat to become both tall and pretty?" He joked, and Eunbyul felt less scared about the audition.
"There's nothing to do with my diet, I just got fantastic genes," she answered, causing the boys to both laugh and admire because it was their first time seeing Eunbyul so confident.
"Oh, I like that. I like you!" Suwon looked in awe at the youngest's words, nodding understandingly. "You and Jihoon are my favorites, so far."
"She's basically his child." Yedam explained, pointing at Eunbyul and Jihoon. "Hyung takes good care of her and treats her like she's his own child."
"That makes so much sense."
"A father at this age? I already know what role to give you."
They moved onto the next segment, where the group had to make facial expressions. After Junkyu's screaming face, Jihoon's half-smiling-half-angry face, Yedam's stuck-up face and Jaehyuk's coochy-coo, it was Eunbyul's turn.
"Can you show us a lovesick expression?" Jiwon requested, and the female nodded, channeling her love for her non-existent crush (psh, lies) and tried to play the role.
In a split second, her mind was filled with images of her biases in the groups she stanned, with ONEUS's Ravn, completing taking up her mind. A shy smile took over her face as she pretended to look at someone, before changing it to a look of heartbreak, pretending to be annoyed at herself for falling for someone.
Suwon covered his mouth with his hands, completely at awe once again. Jiwon furrowed his brows, looking at the youngest with his mouth wide open.
"Have you ever been lovesick before, Eunbyulie?" Jiwon asked.
Eunbyul shook her head with a laugh. "For the past fifteen years, I have never been in love or sick," she bluffed, once again making everyone laugh.
"Has anyone ever made your heart race?"
"Nope, I am the one who makes hearts race."
The SECHSKIES members looked at each other while the TREASURE boys did the same. "You really have an amazing reply to everything," Suwon said, writing something on her profile as Jiwon did the same.
"What is your MBTI?" Jiwon inquired, throwing away the prompters words and the act of a casting director as he was truly interested in the only female member of TREASURE.
"INFP."
Jiwon gasped. "I? You are introverted? And you speak so well and confidently?"
"It's a skill, I guess."
Moving onto the next segment according to the staff's pleas, they reenacted scenes from dramas. Eunbyul got the confession scene between the characters, Ko Moonyoung and Moon Gangtae, from the popular drama, 'It's Okay To Not Be Okay'.
"I love you. I love you, Gangtae-ssi." She sighed, totally immersed into the character. "I said I love you! I love you, really! I love you very, very much! You are running away again?! I already said I love you, so why are you running away?! Why?! I love you?!" Eunbyul raised her voice as Jihoon stood in front with his back turned to her. "Yah! I love you! I said I love you! Yah!"
"Wah, so full of emotion."
"Are you sure you haven't fallen in love before, Eunbyulie?"
"As expected, my child is the best."
Before the conversation about Eunbyul being in love went on for longer, she guided her senior artists to the next last segment, swiftly dodging questions they asked in relation to love.
Once again, for acting out a situation, Eunbyul was given the scene of a high school student confessing to her crush who was a senior. She internally grimaced, hoping they wouldn't make her a love interest in whatever web production they were planning, but did her part perfectly, nevertheless.
After a mess of laughing while reading the lines from the actual drama they were going to do, Eunbyul could wrap up with the audition, unable to sober from her laughing even after everyone stood in a line along with their seniors.
"Where's Eunbyulie?" Suwon asked, looking around for the female after he went around giving handshakes to his favorite pupils. "Wah, you are so much taller up close." Eunbyul stretched her legs at his words, doing a split until she was up to his height.
"Oh, it's an honor. Thank you."
"T-Bye!"
BONUS CLIP
Park Eunbyul was handed a script, along with a card which stated which role she played. "Huh? Star 7?" She tilted her head, going through the script to figure out what she was. "Oh? Sister of Haruto, Eunbyul is the daughter of H Hotel owners."
She read through the script, laughing to herself from time to time. "Woah, I am basically cupid." She covered her mouth, totally in awe at the way her senior artists had cast her. "I was worried about being the love interest, but this is literally way more than being a love interest. I am, like, a love ... maker? Wow."
Eunbyul stood along with her other members as Jaehyuk wrapped it all up. "You guys! The web drama production is coming soon! Please look forward to it!" Everyone cheered together, hitting the slate as they went out of the camera frame.
Until next time, TREASURE MAKERS!
