Take me to the sky

Chapter 18

Namjoon and J-Hope went to the ballet academy. They saw ballerinas practicing the ballet.

Namjoon looked astonished because he had never seen such places in his whole life. It looked stupendous for him.

He walked behind J-Hope looking around the hall. J-Hope searched for the instructor but he was not seen there.

Hence he went to one of the ballerinas, asked about the instructor. The ballerina stated, “The instructor didn’t arrive yet”.

J-Hope said to Namjoon ,“The instructor didn’t arrive yet. Thus we can wait for him”. Namjoon
and J-Hope waited for the instructor.

After 15 mins, the instructor finally arrived. They approached the instructor. That time , the instructor was supervising the dancers.

J-Hope proceeded towards him . Seeing J-Hope, the instructor said ,“Oh, J-Hope what a pleasure how are you?”.

“I am fine, Mr. Gunwoo.” Mr. Gunwoo saw Namjoon standing at the back of J-Hope.

J-Hope said ,“He is my friend , Namjoon . He said he needs a job immediately. So I thought, you can appoint him for the cleaning job since you asked me for someone”.

Mr. Gunwoo took a look at Namjoon. ‘He seems to be fit for the job’, he thought.

Then he said to J-Hope, “Okay, he can start his work from today”. J-Hope
thanked him and assured Namjoon , “You got the job. You can start working from today”.

Namjoon smiled. Mr. Gunwoo said something to Namjoon , “You will be paid 4500 won. From morning 10:00am to night 8:00pm, it’s
a full time job. At the end of each dance session, you have to clean the room. When all the classes are over,
you have to clean the floor, put those sheets and take out the garbage. When you come on the morning, you have to take the sheets out. If any instructors need something, you have to help them okay?”.

Though he's going to receive low wage , Namjoon nodded his head since all he needed for now is a job.

J-Hope also heard what the instructor was saying. It seemed a bit hard. He pulled Namjoon away for a moment and asked ,“Are you really sure? This job seems to be arduous”.

Namjoon humbly replied ,“It's okay for me. 4500 won is fine with me. Before this , I worked as a rag picker. It was harder than this. So this job appears to be easy for me”.

J-Hope gave an unpleasing look on him but Namjoon was happy. Then they both reached the instructor and saw him , already talking to someone.

They both stood some steps behind so that the instructor can finish his talk. Later , the person went to the practice.

Then Namjoon assured the instructor, “Okay sir. I will take the job”. The instructor said ,“Okay now the ballet class is going to start. You can sit there until the class gets to the end.”

J-Hope asked something to Namjoon before leaving ,“Okay Namjoon. I have to go now. You can manage right?”

And Namjoon nodded his head. Then J-hope went from there. Namjoon sat there in a corner and watched the ballerinas' practicing.

Namjoon watched the male and the female ballerinas dancing elegantly. He knew the ballet act was 'Swan
Lake'. Now he is seeing this in real.

It was so calm to watch them dancing. The male dancer looked like an
actual prince. It was Jimin. The female ballerina was Kyung Mi and she looks too beautiful.

They danced like the real swans. When they finished dancing, Namjoon enthusiastically clapped his hands without realization.

Everyone stared at him and he came to back to his senses that he was the only person clapping his hands at that moment. Jimin gazed at him and wondered who he was.

Later , the class was over. The instructor congratulated Jimin and the performers and he allowed them to leave. They all started to leave one by one.

The instructor asked Namjoon to start the cleaning. Namjoon took a mop
and a bucket full of water , started to clean the place.

As he was into his work, he accidentally hit the bucket with his foot and the entire dirty water spill on the floor. It didn't only spill on the floor but it was also got spilled on Jimin’s Gucci sneakers.

Namjoon looked terrified. Jimin gave a cold stare at Namjoon. Mr. Dal who was standing there ; waiting for Jimin, saw that horrifyingly. That was a tensed moment.

Namjoon quickly apologized but Mr. Dal stomped his way to Namjoon and started shouting at him. He yelled angrily ,“How dare you? Can’t you work properly?! You know how much those shoes cost! I bet it’s more than
your house! How irresponsible you are! Can you buy a new one for him like this? You ugly duckling! I am
going to inform you to the instructor immediately. You are not suitable for this.”

But Jimin stopped Mr. Dal and yelled at him back ,“How can you say him like that? He did it accidentally. It’s not fair , shouting at someone like this. It’s not only his fault but also mine for walking in his workplace. So you should be mad at me and not him”

After hearing Jimin's yell , Mr. Dal  silently stood there. Jimin turned to Namjoon and said “I'm sorry for walking in your workplace”.

Namjoon exclaimed in a humble manner ,“No, it’s not your fault. It’s all mine. So please forgive me”. Jimin forgave him and took some steps ahead.

When Namjoon started to mop the place again, Jimin stopped for a bit , looked back at Namjoon and said ,“Thanks for clapping” in a strict tone and left the place with Mr. Dal.

Namjoon gazed at Jimin for some minutes and returned back to his work.
