Complicated||Han Jisung

- A Week Later -

It's been a week since Elle and I moved into the dorms next to Stray Kids. Elle started hanging out with them because we started working with them after the day our contracts were made. I didn't really care to talk to them since Elle was doing it, but Chan decided that he didn't want that. He came to my dorm almost every day in the week and either brought me food or forced me to come to their dorm to have dinner with them. Only getting me to do the last one because he said Elle was going to be there. Since Chan tried so hard within the week, I decided to get to know him and because of that we got closer with each other over the week.

Currently Elle is good friends with Felix, Minho, Jisung, Jeongin, and Chan but she kind of talks to Seungmin and Changbin. Hyunjin however is a different story. Elle is Hyunjin's stylist, and she has so many ideas about what ways he can look. However, Hyunjin doesn't like some of them, and for that reason they argue a lot about that. Mainly saying Hyunjin and Elle don't get along, but I can see them either being best friends or something more. It's just a little feeling but I know Hyunjin is definitely Elle's type. They'll end up dating by the time our contract ends, I know it.

For me, I don't talk to anyone but Chan. However, since Minho, Felix and Hyunjin are dancers I talk to them every now and then but it's mainly professional. I don't feel like getting close with these guys and honestly if Elle's doing it, I don't need to do anything. So, I'm just going to chill.

- Wednesday Afternoon -

All the back-up dancers were in a practice room currently practicing our choreography and as we were discussing some moves, Stray Kids' manager walked in with two people – assistants, I assume - getting our attention. Hyunseok - Stray Kids' manager - cleared his throat and everyone turned their heads towards him. "Hello everyone. It's nice to see all of you working hard but I have some news." Everyone started looking at each other wondering what was going on. "Well, this announcement is mainly for the girls but the boys can also listen." Pausing, Hyunseok looked at his assistants and then back at everyone else, continuing, "Okay girls, there will be an audition. The audition is for a duet with one of the Stray Kids members. The duet is for their solo song, and we want one of you girls to be the lead." All the girls started getting excited and were whispering to each other. Hyunseok was trying to get their attention back since he wasn't done.

Once everyone calmed down, he continued, "The auditions will be in 2 days, however in 2 hours the choreography will be taught in practice room 4. Also, all girls are required to go to the audition, there is no exception. See you all there and good luck." Hyunseok and his assistants left the practice room and everyone bowed. Once he left the room, everyone started talking about it. I just went into the corner of the room and started drinking water waiting for the hype to die down. As I was sitting, I was just thinking about how fucked I was. In all honesty, I didn't want to do this. So, my plan was to go to the audition, learn the choreo and then not try for the audition. I really didn't want this.

- 2 Hours Later -

All the girls started making their way into the practice room ready to learn the choreo for this audition. I went in with the mindset of 'I don't care' since I didn't want to do this. I didn't mind being a back-up dancer for the members solo song, but I would only do it if there were more dancers. This however was a duet with an idol, where just you and him are dancing. I'm not trying to get bad reps or hate from just doing my job, it's not worth it and it's just too much extra energy. After about 10 minutes, the choreographer came into the room and started teaching right away. Honestly the choreo wasn't hard and I was picking it up quickly. The choreographer said we could practice for an hour or so and ask him questions if we wanted.

I was just going over the choreo slowly and started getting into my mood, but I got interrupted when three girls asked me if I could help them. It reminded me of the BTS audition I had but I just said yes since we were co-workers, kind of. I taught them for the rest of the hour and once finished all the girls were allowed to leave. Since that was the last thing of the day, everyone just went home. I just walked over to the dorms since it wasn't far. I wanted time alone before Chan started bugging the shit out of me.

*~-~-~*

After I got home it didn't take Chan long to enter my dorm and start talking about what we were going to eat tonight. Something that will never change but probably should is that I never lock my door because I'm just too lazy to remember. So, Elle and Chan always walk into my dorm without knocking because they know it'll be open. Chan and I ended up making food and just talking about how our days went. When we finished cooking, Chan and I sat down at the table and started eating. "Ummm, the auditions for a member's solo song are in 2 days. Are you excited?" Looking up from my food and at Chan, I rolled my eyes at him then shoved a piece of meat in my mouth. "No. I don't want the part, so I'm not going to try." Chan looked shocked because he thought I'd be happy to dance with the spotlight on me since every other dancer is excited for that.

Looking a little frantic, Chan replied. "What? Why? You would do so well. I mean you're a great dancer and I think you and this member would get along really well." I didn't say anything because I really didn't want to talk about this. He wasn't going to change my mind. I didn't want this part and I wasn't going to try for it. Someone better than me can get it and deal with whatever comes with it, but I wasn't going to be that person. Chan realized my cold attitude and decided to drop the topic completely.

We ended up talking about other things and after eating Chan left since he had some work to do. Since it was only 8pm, I decided to just chill in my dorm. I didn't realize it, but I started subconsciously dancing to the choreo I learned early today. I was spinning, jumping, and moving all around my dorm, dancing all night to choreo. Choreo that I would never dance to again until the audition day.
