21. Tense

A/N: If Hoseok gave me that glare, I would simultaneously piss myself and cry. He's my bias and he's so fun, but he intimidates me... and I love that. He's terrifying and it's wonderful.

After a week of finalizing melodies and composition, and another week of recording, they had a solid song and a dance to match it. Soon, they'd be recording the music video, resuming their Run episodes, and releasing Dynamite. The work wasn't over, but the stress became less and less.

And all throughout, Namjoon hadn't slipped once. He knew that there wasn't time to waste. Not until the song was finished and finalized. He could hold off for a few weeks, surely.

Two weeks later, Hoseok stood in front of the practice room mirror and led the others, teaching them their new dance. With each move came a little string of "Pah! Ba. Ba. Pah", which emphasized the movements. Their song, Dynamite was long completed, recording-wise. All they need now was to shoot their music video, and to do that, they needed to learn the choreography. Slowly, but surely, each of the members caught onto the moves, very quick.

Hoseok showed them the steps slowly, to which most of them got quickly.

Except for someone.

The song played slower than the original, and everyone focused on hitting the beats exactly, stepping to the left when the song called for it, and stepping to the right when the rhythm moved them that way.

"Cut the music!" Hoseok's voice rang out as the music stopped abruptly. Everyone's eyes followed the dance leader as he walked to Namjoon, his hands folded behind him. His eyes were a glossy judgemental stare and Namjoon tensed up.

"Do that move again. As slow as you need to." Hoseok whispered intimidatingly. Namjoon hesitated before moving, bringing his arms up and starting the dance in rhythm to Hoseok's foot tapping. His body was shaky as he ended with the foot shuffle and kick, almost slipping on his own feet.

Hoseok eyed him down, arguing with himself internally whether or not he should micromanage and fix the moves, fine tuning them and making dance practice longer for everyone, or if he should simply let the matter go and trust that Namjoon could keep up.

He instantly regretted the fact that he walked off, seemingly content with Namjoon's unsure moves.

He walked back to the front and assumed position again.

"If there's no more clumsy mistakes, can we continue... Namjoon?" He emphasized his dongsaeng's name with an annoyed venom in his voice. He hated interruptions.

"Hoseok-hyung, calm down. He's just taking a while to get the moves is all." Jungkook defended, making Hoseok grumble and take his place at the front again.

"From the top this time. With music at 0.75 speed." Hoseok snapped. A staff member clicked the music on again as the members got back into formation. "From the top. 5! 6! A 5, 6, 7, 8..."
