[ A/N, skip if you want to!: Hey y'all, as you know, we are almost 9K views and we're already on chapter 39! I decided after careful consideration that I will finish this book at 50 chapters. For the last chapter, I wanted to do something special for you guys since you all helped me get to this point. If you'd like to participate in what I have planned, pm me a purple heart and I will share the details needed. There will be a Q&A, so you can comment on questions you have for me, and I will try and answer as much as I can. Thank you all so freaking much, I really thought my writing career would be pointless, but this experience has been great. Hopefully, my account won't be dead as I will try re-writing this book in Korean, I'm currently writing a Danganronpa book, as well as taking one-shot requests.]

This was requested by @Stacy944.I hope you enjoy it! By the way, this is a Non-BTS AU meaning the members were not in Bangtan in this universe. Hwarang was the #1 k-drama in this AU as well, just a head's up.

| There are noticeably gory and bloody scenes involving swords. Read at your own discretion. |

-------Taehyung's Point of View:

I finally get to be an actor. Today is the greatest day of my life! Being a star in Seoul, where millions can see me shine on one of the most popular K-dramas, Hwarang: The Poet Warrior Youth! I better get to putting in my 2 week's notice as a janitor. I quickly fill out the health information form, skimping through the policy and allergy section. As long as there isn't any metal on set I should be good.

As I'm about to call the cleaning company, I receive a message from the acting agency about the location of the shoot. I thank them and load the direction onto my GPS. Hmm, what should I eat today? I scan through my pantry before choosing a banana and blueberry Special K cereal. This should definitely be quick.

Yeontan barks at me for no reason- Oh yeah! I forgot to call Jiminie, Tannie is so smart. I give him his favorite dog toy as I head to my room to grab my phone.

After placing my empty bowl on the counter, I grab my caramel frappuccino from the fridge and grab my keys. I placed my phone in my back pocket as I waved bye to Yeontan and lock the door. Luckily Lisa and Jennie are coming over to watch him while I'm gone, or else my apartment would look like a complete mess when I came back.

I can't believe how hard it is to choose a playlist without having to change the song so many times because you heard it already or it was a boring song that shouldn't have been there in the first place. Might as well play my go-to, Alcohol Free by Twice, because lord knows I'll need some after what today will bring.

---{ 1 hour & 30 minutes later }---

I'm here after what felt like an eternity, and I'm super sore from sitting down for so long, so I stretch my arms and legs the begin to grab my bag from the backseat. Before I could grab it, a tall, strikingly skinny, and must I say handsome man grabs it for me, leading me to the changing room. I thank him and place my things in a locker with my name on it, setting out to look for the director.

"Ah, hello! You must be Mr. Kim Taehyung?" A brown-haired, casually dressed woman asks from behind me. 

"O-Oh, yes ma'am! And who are you, may I ask?" I say trying to brush off my previously shocked expression and tone. 

"I'm the set manager and assistant director, the main director Lee is out sick today." She affirms me, pushing her cheetah-patterned glasses further up her nose bridge. 

"Alright! So, let's get started shall we?"

After filming 6 episodes of the show, I quickly realized how exhausting being and actor is behind the scenes. The retakes/reshoots, retouching makeup every ten minutes, and especially remembering lines. Luckily I'm pretty skilled and reciting and acting out my lines, so I shouldn't have a problem today. A couple of hours pass by, and our film time is up for the day. I'm looking forward to coming back tomorrow!

When I arrive home, I immediately respond to Jiminie's excessive messages.

jiminie pabo: sooo, how was the shooting today?? :0 tell me everything!

jiminie pabo: hellooooo??

jiminie pabo: are you ignoring me taee? i will spam your phone-

                         me: oh hey!! i just got home, and it went pretty good chim! I had so much fun on set!

jimine pabo: good! now get some rest for tomorrow. i know you're excited for the sword fight part, right?

                                                                                                                          me: yea, ur right. goodnight jiminie <333

jiminie pabo: nighttt

It felt like yesterday was such a dream! I hurry to the studio although I only live a few blocks away, the gentleman once again opening the door for me, a small smile on his face.\

As soon as I walked in, we began filming and rehearsing for future episodes. Finally following the many shoots we had for the other episodes, now we're getting to the exciting bit of filming. This is the episode where I protect Sun-woo from the poisoned blade my half brother tries to end him with, ultimately leading to my demise. At least I didn't die in vain though. This sword fight is going to be epic though! The crew walks over to the set where the fight takes place, adding details to sword along with Director-nim, who has a devilish smile on her face.

After they added the finishing touches for the sword to be 'camera ready', Director-nim tells us to go, as I start the episode, discovering a letter to my "older brother" simply saying 'You must kill him.' I rush to the courtyard, watching as Dan-se attack Sun-woo with a sharpened sword, almost slashing his arm in half. I really hope the sword is plastic. I rush up in between the two before he could "stab" Sun-woo, my hands gripping onto the sword as directed. This is definitely a real sword, the pain courses through my veins as my palms begin to bleed from the large cuts coming from them. Shoot, I didn't think there was real metal on the sword, or that it was real! I slowly feel my conciousness dip in and out, as I passed out a menacing appearance glowed on the director's face. 

- five months later-

"Breaking News! New-comer Kim Taehyung nearly dies from a premeditated murder by the assistant director, Hyun Bae, of the hit series Hwarang. After being in a coma for over 5 months, he immediately decided to press charges, placing the criminal into 30 years of jail-"  I switch off the tv, slightly wincing. My hands are stuck in a position that looks like I'm giving everlasting handshakes. 


One thing I learned is that I'll never be an actor again.
