NANA

~In which Nana gets a role~

"Oh, Nana, just the person I wanted to see. Would you mind coming with me to PD-nim's office?" BTS' manager requested, after running into her in the hallway of headquarters. At first, Nana was worried that she was in trouble, but that worry was quickly shut down by the friendly smile on his face.

"Sure, what's going on?" She questioned as they walked towards the boss's office.

"You'll see," he answered mysteriously as they reached their destination. He followed behind her as they walked inside. 

"Hitman Bang!" She greeted excitedly before flopping down on a couch, as she had done many times before. He was practically a father to her, or at least a fun uncle, having known her since she was young. The manager simply sat down in a chair.

"Nana, how's it going? You must be wondering why I called you in here," he spoke warmly.

"This definitely feels like being called to the principal's office. I thought I was getting a detention, or something," she laughed. "But, yes, I am very curious."

"You know how we were discussing your career a little while ago? About how I want you to start branching out and maybe try acting?"

Nana had to think. She remembered talking about it briefly and her saying that she thought it would be cool to be in a drama. It wasn't a serious conversation, but it appeared that he had taken it to heart.

"Yes, a little. Why?"

"There's a small part in an upcoming drama that I think would be perfect for you. It's basically just a test run to see if acting is for you. It's not an important character, so it's fine if you mess up. Plus, I know some of your friends are in it, so it'll be great for publicity." He proposed. 

She felt a little anxious, but excited as well. Of course, there was one question she had to ask.

"Which drama is it?"

She arrived on set, feeling a bit lonely by the absence of those who were around her constantly. It was beautiful, that's for sure, albeit cold. It was fine, she thought, and worth it to see her friends who she hadn't hung out with in a while. She was a little afraid of messing up since it was her first time acting, especially in front of them, but it's not like she was the only newbie here. They were too, thank God.

Nana and her manager went up to greet the director and other important people before being ushered to the dressing room. In the past week or so, she was able to familiarize herself with her minimal lines so that she would be more comfortable. She had also tried to get herself into the scene by practicing with Tae (that boy had a talent for acting), but it didn't compare to the real thing. 

The makeup artist assigned to her was quick to get the job done, saying little as she deftly moved the brush around Nana's face. She was probably desensitized to celebrity presences, having been an artist for several years. It didn't mean she wasn't nice, just not one for small talk. Nana quickly moved on to costume; her favorite part. There was just something about the clothing of historical dramas that really got her. Traditional clothes were breathtaking, and a small part of her wished they were still in style (although it definitely would be more hassle getting ready).
