he’s already starting to flip through the scrip -- the parts he has read fully and the ones he has only just begun to memorize -- when alec asks a new question. the teen’s eyes widening at it as no one has really asked him his thoughts on his character yet. just how he feels about his first roll. and while those may seem like similar questions the over feelings he has are different to each.

though the teen is not at all surprised that alec would ask, sam does wonder if the older male had noticed something about him to prompt that question. as opposed to just taking his excitement over acting as his over all feelings. 

his nose scrunches up a little as he looks at the script in his hand, before raising his gaze to the older. “i... don’t know really, i mean-- i’m excited and all, but now i’m wondering if i can really play someone l like this.” he replies, letting his nerves show through with someone he trusts so much. as he knows alec isn’t going to see it as a sign of weakness or something. “his background isn’t hard to grasp but his personality is kind of well, not like me. but like! i know acting is about playing people you aren’t, i’m just worried, i guess? but i hope i can do him justice!”

     he couldn’t be more proud of anyone for landing a role in the drama as he is of sam. well, he’s always proud of his sister of course, because well, she’s his sister. but sam is the closest thing to a younger brother that he’s ever had and that really says something. 

     anyway.

     he tugs the other towards the costume fitting area and he grins, slinging an arm around the other’s shoulders with a smile on his lips. “are you ready?” he asks with a smile, tilting his head slightly to the side curiously. he knows that the younger can get nervous easily, and despite all of his teasing, he wants to try to be as comforting as possible. if only because he himself enjoys being on this path a lot and he hopes that sam will too. 

     either way, they’re on set together today and he wonders if it’ll be just as good of an experience as it was for him when he first started filming the first season of cram school. “do you want to run lines?”

[lgcsam]

he can’t tell if he’s extremely lucky to have ended up on the same cast list as two of his most absolute favorite people. or if this is just the start to a down hill slide. was he more nervous about this show knowing he was going to be potentially working along side youngmin and alec? the idea that the two people he looks up to the most are going to be seeing him taking his first steps into a part of life he has no experience in. at least nothing out side of training and that only gets you prepared to an extent. 

his heart feels like its racing in his chest as he easily allows alec to tug him along, the teens body relaxing on instinct at the contact with the older actor. “um.. i think so?” he attempts to sound confident but all he ends up doing is sounding a little squeaky. which is embarrassing. come on , sam, you’re cooler than this. 

plus it’s just alec. he knows he has no reason to be nervous with alec. 

“run lines? yeah! yes, please.” eager as always, that energy of his isn’t fully smothered by his nerves and now he’s giving alec a bright smile. now feeling glad that he was with alec today. “i think i’ve really gotten better with korean lately too, right?”

little treat

@lgchaeun

it’s late in the day as sam makes his way through the company, he’s tired and part of him considers just heading home as he doesn’t really have any other reason to be here but yet here he is. a rolled up script in his hand and drink carrier in his other. the two bubble teas lightly bump together as he walks and he probably should have been more careful but he wasn’t paying much attention to them. 

a grin pulls over his lips as he finds the person he’d been looking for. yes, sam probably should have messaged her or something first to find out where she is. and maybe make sure she isn’t busy. but well, he’s never been the best at planning and has already put in motion his current mission. 

“yo, haeun.” he greets, hand raising to show off the bubble teas as he crosses the distance to her. “think you can take a break?” 

[lgcsam]

his nose scrunches up as ahin pinches at his cheek, though he doesn’t actively attempt to pull away from it like he might with some people. hand raising to rub at his poor cheek once freed but he’s distracted from complaining about it though when it registers that the older thought his idea was a good one. his brows raise in surprise before a grin forms again. 

“you really think it’s a good idea??” he questions, as if certain ahin was merely humoring him. settling back into his own chair so he wasn’t leaning so heavily on the table and returning to the project at hand. he mimicked the older, though he grabbed the note cards near by so he could start writing down some simple but (hopefully) meaningful notes to go along with this. “i know i’d like to get a gift bag with an ahin photo card inside of it.” he mumbles. 

the question makes him nod though he doesn’t verbally reply for a few moments as he focused on a cat drawing for the note he was writing. “yeah! i’m always excited though, there’s very little the company can throw at me that isn’t fun.” which is true, sam has always been one who enjoys everything. he tries to have fun with whatever he’s given. “aww... hyung are you saying you miss me?” he smiles, teasing but also genuine as he raises his head to look at the older again. “did i tell you i auditioned for cram school?"

@lgcahin

the sports festival was full of fun and excitement. things like this are always right up sams lane as he loves to be involved and let out his energy. though he might seem more on the laid back side of life, the teen still very much has large stock piles of energy stored up inside. it’s how he manages to train so much ( even if he does tend to get scolded for being out later than he should be ). but just imagining getting to be wild at a sports festival... ah, so fun.

“hey dad.” sam suddenly speaks up, a playful smile pulled across the teens face as he leans across the table closer to ahin. the two of them having paired up for the fan gift and honestly same was ecstatic to be working with the older. it’s no secret he adores ahin hyung , after all. 

“what if instead of--or no.. maybe with, yeah-- with the hand warmers.” he stumbles a little around his words (still a little obvious that he's not as fluent with korean as he should be ) but otherwise keeps up the confidence with his voice. smile never wavering despite knowing he’s about to lay down a rather.. silly idea. “we also put in photos? we can like go print them off real easy? if we make them smaller we could fit like... i don’t know... 6 to a page?” 

[lgcsam]

he grins at the response he gets from youngmin. yes, he’s very aware that youngmin seems to have a weakness to his juniors--that the older male could be so easily persuaded to spoil and it’s something that sam takes advantage of without hesitation. not that he doesn’t actively like youngmin. in fact the older is one of his very favorite people, right up there next to ahin ( his dad ) and alec ( his bully ). he always feels warm spending time with youngmin, and the attention he gets is an absolute plus. 

“who said it’s flattery? i mean it!” he responds, the grin never leaving his lips as he keeps his eyes on youngmin for a moment longer. the ruffle to his hair though makes the teen duck slightly out of the way. a laugh leaving him even as he tries fixing his hair once more. 

the boost of confidence from the older makes his cheeks heat up a little, touched that his hyung things so highly of his abilities. “ah-- i’ll make sure to work hard!” and he means it, sam has always been a hard worker. he really does intend to dedicate a lot of time into acting. wanting to prove himself to be better himself so maybe one day he could act beside his favorite hyungs. “have you ever thought about voice acting? like wanting to be one?” he questioned, curious. 

@lgcyoungmin

“waaaaaa... there’s so much technical work put into acting.” the teen lets out a drawn out breath as he stretches his arms over his head. another workshop done and another day of cramming information into his skull. he’s trying to pick up as much information as he can so that he won’t be as behind when cram school filming starts. worried he won’t be able to do as well as people expect of him for the show. 

a pout forms and his arms end up wrapping around youngmin who was just within grabbing range. a tight side hug as he directs his puppy dog gaze onto the older. “hyunnng~~.” he whines, drawing the word out. “you’re so amazing, would you teach this kid how to be as great as you?” is he trying to butter youngmin up to get free food out of him? maybe. but he also does just want some kind of attention and perhaps advice on acting. 

who better than someone who has already been involved? plus youngmin has already had an acting role! that makes him like... famous already ! 

[lgcsam]

tiny tykes

@lgcalec

ah, kids. 

in his short time on earth sam has been around younger kids enough to know he isn’t a big fan of younger kids. he knows he was once a little kid himself and from the stories his parents as well as alec tell sometimes, he knows he wasn’t the easiest child to handle. sure, he hadn’t been tantrum throwing and wild, but still. his youngest cousins are still under ten and since he’s been in korea he hasn’t actually seen them since they were still toddlers but sam can recall how chaotic it was being around them.

he was hoping this baby sitting thing didn’t end up like that. the teen is still not too sure why he signed up since he has never been big on kids but here he is. at least he has alec with him. a grin forming over the teens face as he turns his eyes onto the older male near by. 

currently the kids were supposed to be having a calm, art moment. which had meant they were seated at the tables with colors and paper set out before him. sam sitting with two of them and the other three seemed to have taken to his hyung which makes sense. alec has always been a good babysitter--though sam likes to give him a hard time, he really does adore the older. but he wouldn’t be park samuel if he didn’t give alec a hard time. “hey hyung, take a look at this.” he called out, not getting up due to the toddler who had situationed himself in sams lap to color. 

it was said drawing that sam then held up. a strange lopsided creature was drawn on it. obvious work of a little kid, but on the top of the page in sams hand writing was alecs name spelled out and a little heart after it. “this little guy drew you.” he grinned when the kid nodded. what he didn’t say was that he’d told the kid to draw an ugly creature. “it’s like an exact copy of you, huh? honestly this one if more handsome.” he winked at the other kid sitting by him, a five year old who giggled loudly making sams grin grow. ah yes, he could make minions out of these two yet.

new settings

@lgchanbyul​

the producer had called for a short break and sam was grateful for that. though there wasn’t really anything physically taxing about this, his own nerves were starting to get to him. the teen was so desperate to do a good job for his first roll that he’d imposed such high expectations onto himself. typical of sam as despite the image he may give off ( a relaxed, cool guy ) he is very much a perfectionist at heart. 

he needed to find some kind of outlet for all this nervous energy. if he wasn’t worried about messing up his hair or makeup he might have taken to running laps. or even just busting out into a dance. alas, he didn’t think it would be a good idea to get all kinds of sweaty between takes. he’s sure the stylists would have words with him if he did. thus, he decided on a different corse of action. 

with two waters in hand he finds himself shuffling over to another actor ( actress, he should say ) near by. a smile pulling across the teens face as he greets her, holding the water out. “here, noona~ it’s important to stay hydrated, yeah?” he says with a cheerful lift to his voice.

the first one

@lgcalec

having been in the company now for a few years sam hadn't actually thought he would ever end up following his acting dream. He kind of assumed he would end up debuting in a group on the basis that he had been signed for his dancing abilities. it wouldn't have been bad to be an idol after all he does very much enjoy dancing. But his real goals have always been acting, to be able to bring different characters to life for the big screen. he had never given up on that dream he was just fine doing as the company wanted.

so its a little bizarre to find himself finally on the path of his dreams. When he was told he was going to be switching into the acting path sam could have cried ( almost did cry ) and now here he is. “"Do they do workshops like this every trimester?” sam questioned alec as he followed the older at the end of the workshop. His very first once since switching paths. its so wild.. 

but it was also a lot of fun! not only does he get to spend more time with alec ( and youngmin ) but he’s learning all the fun acting techniques he’d never really gotten the chance to focus on!

LGC AGENCY is proud to announce that we are now representing PARK SAMUEL.

[lgcsam]

During free training, you are called to kim hyuncheol’s office. a woman you have not met yet, but will come to know in the future, is sitting with him in his office. while she comes off as graceful and polite, she looks like the type of woman you do not want to cross. “SAMUEL, let me introduce you to HEO AECHA. she is the head manager of the newly formed lgc agency” hyuncheol announces. “nice to meet you.” the petite woman says in a warm, almost motherly tone. “i am here because legacy entertainment is looking to expand its talent management. after reviewing profiles of many trainees, mr. kim hyuncheol and i believe that your talents would be put to better use under lgc agency, as an actor. if you desire to expand your work field in the future, we’ll try to look for compromises once the time comes.” she explains. it seems that you do not have much of a say in this transfer. “you will also be handed a new training schedule starting from january.”

it’s been a few years since he joined the company and never once has he been worried about being suddenly kicked out. for all the times he likes to claim chaos as his hobby, the teen hasn’t ever actually been chaotic. not to the point that he thinks he would get into trouble for doing something. maybe there’s some nights where he stays out too late and sure he’s been scolded during training for slacking. 

so when he’s called to the office he doesn’t really find himself worrying. he hasn’t done anything lately to warrant being in trouble? unless they didn’t approve of his halloween costume but then again that was months ago yea? with this thinking he’s relaxed as he steps into the office, bowing politely to the ceo and the other women. he’s looking at them curiously when hyuncheol speaks and he finds his eyes widening. 

“you’re moving me into acting?” he asks out loud, and flushes a little at having interrupted. he lets her finish but he can already feel a smile breaking across his cheeks. “i look forward to working with you! thank you very much!” he bows again, deeper this time and barely keeps himself from running out of the office. he can’t believe he really truly got switched into the acting path.  

—————————- ooc —————————-

congratulations on joining the ACTING MAIN CAREER PATH. starting from this, your muse will be moving from trainee missions to ACTING MISSION!

SAMUEL is also given the choice to either remain in a dorm or move out. warning; should he choose to move out, all expenses will be taken care of by him. please share his/her decision with the main before JANUARY 17.

[lgcsam]

he wants for a moment to dive into a discussion on inyuasha and kikyo’s relationship as he has seen the entire show more than once--but before he could begin a weeb tangent, he finds himself once more at the end of her bow. he can’t help the amused noise as she closes and eye--really making it seem like she wants to shoot at him. ah.. so cruel. 

“you know i think kikyo would win regardless.” he replies in a manner that doesn’t at all reflect his current predicament of being head at weapon point. even if she doesn’t actually have an arrow. he could have pretended to be worried but what’s the fun in that. plus he has a theory that alice is invincible--do not ask unless you want to hear a long winded rant on it that might include a powerpoint. 

his eyes widen a little when her attention shifts suddenly and he’s dropping his chin a little to try and look at his own hair. the blond easy to see thanks to the fact it’s such a long wig and he finds himself shrugging. “it’s a little warm but nothing horrible.” his hand raises to shift the top of the wig. “worst part is the itchy feeling--but i can deal.” gotta keep seeming cool in her eyes, can’t reveal how annoying it actually is. 

the halloween party was in full swing and it’s so typical of sam to show up later. it’s not really on purpose, he’s just utterly terrible at time management. he doesn’t really mean to always be behind on schedule but its always how it happens. it’s fine though, he feels he’s arriving to this party in a fashionable manner. the alice costume fitting him nicely and it wasn’t even that uncomfortable. though he could do without the long hair.

someone in a costume hands him a slip of paper as he makes it to the party but he doesn’t even register it as his eyes land on someone in the crowd of party people. a smile forming on his face and he wastes no time approaching her.  miss @lgchaeun dressed as kikiyo.

“if only i’d thought to wear my inuyasha costume, because you just shot me through the heart.” the english leaves his lips easily, an amused tone to his voice as he makes sure to be in her line of sight as he says this. head tilting a little in a cute manner as he smiles at her. not even slightly ashamed over the so cheesy pick up line he just dropped.

[lgcsam]

performance solo

The weeks of performances have been chalk full of excitement for sam who does find a lot of thrill in dancing like this. While his goal may be acting, he would be lying if he said he didn’t greatly enjoy dancing--after all, he’s worked his butt of to be a good dancer. One that’s good enough to not only get signed but to continue to be apart of the company with each passing year. 

This life style is hard work and exhausting and right now it has very little reward despite everything--but he’s pretty sure he wouldn’t trade it for the world. 

Of the weeks and each theme they would dance too, sam had been trying to figure out which one is his favorite of them all. He’s never been one to have just one style of dance he sticks too. That’s too restricting--leaves the door closed on learning a lot of different dances. 

So it’s been a heck of a lot of fun getting to do a different one each week. Dancing, like any art, is one that takes expression and dedication. He knows this and he lives by this. Like he does with acting practice as well, the teen knows that if he wants to make it in this life he has to work hard and he always does. Seeking help for the dances that he was struggling on, staying up late and coming in early to work on the dances.

When the legacy instructors judge him on his abilities he wants them to see improvement, and to know that he’s going to keep it up.

The day of performance he isn’t nervous--not really, and sam is someone who doesn’t get nervous all that often anyway. No, he’s just excited. Ready to stand on the stage and give it his all. Which is exactly what he does. 

This stage is his, and he’s going to make sure he stays on it. 

[lgcsam]

casting call 006 ; audition 

the casting call announcement goes up and sam is quick to figure out everything he needs for it. he’d started recently thinking it’s time for him to start working more seriously towards his goals which would mean to take part in things like casting calls. auditions, and the like. after all how is he to get experience if he never tries? and this show is one that his dear hyungs youngmin and alec took part in once--he watched every episode, yes he did. the idea of getting to take part in this one, and maybe with them, is what spurs him forward to the audition. 

he’d decided to binge the show again for some inspiration on his character he wanted to try and audition with which lead to him being up an entire night. but he felt confident as he got to the audition place. sam has never really been someone who gets nervous after all. someone who is fine with diving headfirst into whatever situation he might find himself in. and that’s pretty much the same with this idols stuff. he had been all full speed ahead when it came to auditioning for legacy in the first place. 

he thinks at the very least he could audition for a supporting role. 

for the audition he had decided to try and dress the part, and considering he’s still in high school right now it was simple enough to show up in a uniform. legit just his schools uniform. for the character he was going to audition with he made sure his uniform was a little bit of a mess, untucked and top buttons undone. his hair was styled to be messy and it helped that it was still lighter from when he’d gone blond. 

a delinquent type character has to look the part, right? that means dyed hair and far to many accessories. like the chain connected to his belt loops and the bracelets on his wrists. he felt cool in this outfit. 

honestly he’d always dreamed of playing the bad boy type of character and that’s absolutely what he has created. he tells the producers that much. explaining to them who his character is. a transfer student from canada who’s parents moved to korea for their work. an 18 year old third year who came to YI HWANG high school in the third year and now hes trying to play catch up to be able to go into a university. his parents enroll him in CRAM SCHOOL in hopes it will shape him up and he can expand his language skills as well. 

his character is a slacker though, someone who falls asleep in class and forgets to do assignments. the kid who sneaks up to the roof to skip classes and is only still in school for the sheer fact his parents pay to keep him in. 

“i was thinking... he’s probably a younger brother and his older brother has always been really good in school and just about everything he does, and so he--well, i--don’t want to continue being in my brothers shadow which is why i act out.” he finishes explaining his character, wondering for a moment if maybe he talked to much. he even had all of this typed out and printed if the producers wanted that. 

when directed to, he transitions into giving a little improved scene of his character. he runs a hand through his hair, further messing it up and puts on a tired but arrogant look. he walks with one hand in his pocket, miming the action of yanking a door open and then drops into the open desk for the scene. “you can stop shouting my name, i’m here now.” 

he tilts his head as if listening to a teacher, eyes forward with a bored look then he turns his head to the side like he was looking out the window. “nah i didn’t do it.” his tone comes off as if he’s annoyed, and he continues looking to the side for a moment before snapping his head forward, as if reacting to a scolding. 

“haaa?” he seems upset at first but then a smirk pulls over his face and he leans on the desk. “sorry, teacher, i don’t understand you.” he says in english, a mocking tone to his voice. verry much trying to portray every teachers worst nightmare. 

as he ends the scene there’s a pleased but shy flush on his cheeks. the teen standing and giving a bow. he thanks everyone for their hard work, accepting any compliments or critics he might receive once he was done. even if he doesn’t make it, this was a lot of fun!

[lgcsam]

cutest dork 🥺

[lgcsam]

It’s easy to keep a smile on his face when he’s spending time with minjun hyung. The older boy is always a so freely giving compliments and it makes sam feel warm. Makes him feel seen, in a way. Plus it’s just fun to turn the tables on minjun and starts complimenting him because of the way the older reacts. He’s kind of use to people accepting the compliments easy enough but minjun always seems to get shy. Its cute! And fun! 

He poses a little once the horns were one is head, much more pleased that minjun seemed to approve of his costume so much. He was really having a good time dressed as alice tonight! The costume itself was comfortable enough even if the wig was a little warm and making his head feel itchy. “devil alice isn’t something i would have thought about.” He laughs, keeping the horns on even if they don’t really fit the costume. 

“what about for you hyung?” He starts looking around the props to see if there’s something angel like. Then they could be devil and angel, ironic since they would be wearing the props opposite of what they probably should be. he spots cat ear headband before anything for an angel though and is quick to hold them up. “kitty Harley would be so cute!”  

@lgcminjun

the party is in full swing and sam had found himself wandering around a little aimlessly. he’d already figured out the whole word riddle thing the staff had put together, and he’d lost haeun in the crowd. so now he was kind of vibing on his own, admiring the other costumes he’s seeing as he walks around with a water. his own outfit was still pretty comfortable though the wig was starting to get a bit hot--and itchy. 

as he was about to debate just bouncing he spotted someone familiar in a very familiar costume. actually, it was a little hard to recognize that as minjun at first but a few moments of squinting suspiciously at the older let him know it was absolutely minjun.

a grin over took sam’s face as he literally skipped over to the older.

“whoaaa~ harley quinn?? wow you’re even prettier in person!!” he starts as a greeting, making sure his tone has so much cutesy fanboying in it. smiling so brightly at the older male. “i’m really a big fan, miss quinn~ could we take a photo together?”
