Ariana POV

        Rehersal started shortly after Sunggyu arrived and I have to admit, I'm a bit nervous.

        "Okay, I plan to focus on one scene at a time" the director explained how rehearsals were going to go. "We will have each of our Draculas take turns running lines with our lead actress. Understudies, please pay attention to how the leads act because you will be responsible for replacing them if the need arises. Any questions?"

        No one raised their hand.

        "Good! Let's have Hongki and Ana first. Let's start with your first encounter."

        Hongki and I both got up and began acting the scene out. Hongki gave off a 'bad boy' vibe for the role and I really did my best to compliment his acting. I guess we did okay, because the director didn't have us change anything.

        Next I worked with Sungmin. He gave me a 'boy next door' feeling when we were talking, but on stage he owned the role. He wasn't as 'bad boy' as Hongki, but he gave a dark and mysterious feeling. Again the director didn't have us alter anything, so we must have done okay.

        Lastly, I got to work with Sunggyu. I was most nervous to work with him, because of our history together. I know that he has been nice to me lately, but I don't know what he is really feeling. I can't tell if he is just being nice out of courtesy or if he is being sincere. Plus, I still have feelings for him.

Sunggyu POV

        It really bothers me that they all get to kiss her, but I can't be jealous because this is just work. She isn't doing it because she want to.

        When the director told me to go up, I was really happy. I had been looking forward to working with her since before the audition. I'm really glad that she is my leading lady.

        I got up and took a deep breath before getting into my role. We acted our scene and it was amazing how well we worked together. I was so caught up in our acting that it almost felt real.

Hongki POV

        "Holy Shit!" I whispered to myself.

        "I know, right?" Sungmin whispered back. "With you, she just played off the 'bad boy' vibe you gave."

        "Yeah, and she took your dark and mysterious aura and magnified it, but with him....."

        "It's like we're watching something private and intimate."

        "It's almost like they really are dating." We looked at each other and, as though a light switch was just turned on, we both looked at each other with widened eyes. "You don't think....."

Ariana POV

        When the scene finished, I almost collapsed. His kiss made me so weak in the knees that I'm surprised I was able to finish the scene.

        "You all did great!" the director said. "Draculas, each of you portrayed your role with a different feel."

        The guys got very nervous when they heard that and they all tensed up.

        "Surprisingly though, none of them seemed unfit for the role. Ana, I'm very surprised that you were able to change your acting to compliment each of the guys."

        I conldn't help but blush. "Thank you" I shyly mumbled.

        "This is only the beginning, so I want you all to take what we did today and commit it to memory. You all are going to be expected to continue the roles you have created. I don't want to see you changing the style you created for your role. Each of you have created a Dracula that is unique to you and I'd like to keep it that way. This way the audiences will have  a different experience with different actors."

        Once the director finished his speech, we all smiled and cheered. We liked that it would be a different feel for each lead actor.

        "I think we will end rehearsal here for today. Keep up the great work!"

Sunggyu POV

        I'm glad that the director okay'd my acting. I was afraid that I would get a NG because, for a moment, I wasn't acting while kissing her.

        "So, Ana" Sungmin spoke up. "Do you have a boyfriend?"

        "No" she replied honestly.

        "Really?" Sungmin pondered. "Then how are you able to kiss so well?" he wiggled his eyebrows.

        Ariana blushed a little. "Just because I don't have a boyfriend right now, doesn't mean I haven't kissed guys before" she said and then stuck her tongue out at him.

        "Would you like to go out for dinner tonight?" he asked. "You know, to celebrate our working together."

        "That's a very nice offer, but unless you invite Hongki and Sunggyu, I'd have to decline."

        "Why? It's just a friendly dinner" he was shocked by her reply.

        "Yes, but we all are working together. Not just you and me" she smiled back at him.

        I could tell he was upset by her statement, but he ended up conceding because he knew she was right. "Okay! Hongki.... Sunggyu.... Ana....  want to go out for dinner tonight?"

        "On you?" Hongki asked.

        Sungmin sighed and rolled his eyes "Yes."

        "I'm in!" he shouted.

        I looked at Ariana and she asked "What do you think?"

        "I'll go if you do" I replied.

        "I guess you can count us in too" Ariana said.

Ariana POV

        I was kind of hoping Sunggyu would have said no, because I wanted to cook him a special meal as a thanks for taking me to the audition. I guess I'll have to wait to do that.

        Sunggyu and I drove in a company car to the restaurant that Sungmin made a reservation at. When we all arrived we were seated and enjoyed a nice meal.

        After we ate, we just sat around chatting.

        "How long have you been an actress?" Sungmin asked.

        "I started acting in my high school musicals, but I never really thought that I had a talent for it."

        "Really?" Hongki was drawn into the conversation. "If you thought you were so bad, how did you end up here?"

        "My friends kept saying I was talented and that I should stick with it."

        "I bet it was a guy that you had a crush on who told you that" Hongki smiled.

        "Actually, yes it was" I blushed.

        "What's his name?"

        I suppose I could say his name as long as I don't say who he is. "His name was Kevin."

Sunggyu POV

        When she said Kevin's name I couldn't help but be shocked. What made the whole thing worse was the fact that I was drinking when she said it, so I ended up spraying water everywhere.

        She looked over at me and froze. She knew that I knew that she was friend's with Kevin of Ukiss.

        "I take it, you know who this Kevin guy is" Sungmin smiled. "Want to let us in on the secret?"

        "Not particularly" I replied. "If she isn't going to say it, then I won't either."

        I saw her face relax and she smiled.

Ariana POV

        I forgot that Sunggyu knew Kevin and I were friends. Crap! I really need to be careful.

        "So 'Kevin' told you that you should continue acting, so you did?" Sungmin asked.

        "Pretty much" I replied. "I applied to an arts college and studied acting before going to numerous auditions. At first they all said no, but then one day someone said that they could use me in the chorus. I started at the bottom and really worked hard to show that I could act well. Basically I worked my way up from the bottom. I honestly thought that I wouldn't ever get a lead role, so this is really surprising for me."

        "Not for me" Hongki said. "When I did the audition with you, I knew that you were lead actress material."

        "What would you have done if you couldn't be an actress?" Sungmin asked.

        "Not sure" I replied honestly. "I've never really thought about it."

        "You haven't? Why not? You said that you never thought you were talented enough, so dosen't it make sense that you would have an alternative plan in case it didn't work out?"

        "Well, if I think about it......." I pondered for a moment. "I would probably have stayed home and taken care of my grandparents."

        "What about work?" Hongki asked.

        "I suppose I could always work for my parents."

        Again, Sunggyu spit out his drink and I couldn't help but giggle.

Sunggyu POV

        "Okay! This time you have to dish!" Sungmin stressed. "What do you know?"

        I looked at Ariana and she just giggled and nodded.

        "Her parents own NANANA Fashion" I said.

        This time it was their turn to spit out their drinks.

        "NANANA Fashion?" Hongki's eyes widened. "You're one of the Fashion Sisters?"

        Ariana continued to laugh. "NO! Those are my sisters!"

        Sungmin just stared at her blankly. "So, you're not a 'Fashion Sister' but you are related to them?" he scratched his head trying to make sense of everything.

        "Yes" Ariana replied. "They are my older sisters."

        "Okay, so tell us" Hongki leaned forward. "How come you are so normal, while they are so......"

        "Annoying?" I finished his question for him.

        "Yes!" Sungmin shouted while Ariana just smiled and laughed.

        The guys kept asking her questions and she did her best to answer them without giving too much information about herself away.

        After about another hour or so of their questioning, we decided to call it a night. I brought her back to the dorm and we both collapsed on the couch.

Ariana POV

        "Well that was exhausting" she sighed.

        "Better get used to it" Sunggyu said. "It's only going to get busier from here."

        I was so tired that I didn't want to move. I could feel my eyes closing as I drifted off to sleep.
