Muted Cries

10/31/21
Stray Kids end up getting a temporary choreographer after their current one has to go on a two month leave. But the moment the new choreographer walks in, Hyunjin's blood runs cold. It's as if he could feel the touches that used to be there, stinging and burning.
Kang Jiwoo, the same choreographer that sexually harassed him during his Psycho performance was now on his turf for two months.

It had been a long day already for the boys as they sauntered into the living room. A day full of interviews, stage prep and making sure each Choreography was perfect. So when Chan texted the group saying they needed to have an 'emergency meeting,' no one really wanted to get up from their beds, but did so regardless.

"What's up?" Hyunjin had arrived first, tired but exporting a happy energy.

Chan sighed as each one of them trotted into their living space for the 'important meeting.' "Recently, Erin's mother passed away, so he's taking a much-needed break for two months. With that being said, we are getting a new Choreographer tomorrow. He isn't permanent, he's just there to help us out till Erin gets back."

The mixed reaction of faces made Chan's heart melt. They'd grown really close with their Choreographer Erin over the past years, so to hear him in pain made them all feel terrible. "Do we know anything bout this new guy?" Hyunjin asked as he fished out his phone to send his regards to Erin.

Chan shrugged, "Not really. Erin didn't tell me much besides the fact that he kind of jumps around with groups he works with and that he does a lot of events, like special stages." Hyunjin hummed with the others in response as he pressed send on his phone, hoping his words would at least bring a little happiness to Erin.

"Now, next thing. With this new choreographer, we will be learning a choreography for Domino tomorrow." Chan announced as the boys in front of him started cheering. Domino had definitely become a favorite for the group, so finally getting to have a choreography for the upbeat song excited them.

"I hope he lets us get a say in making the choreography..." Minho mumbled. Erin quite often actually wanted there help in making the choreography, so they felt good in knowing that a lot of the moves were some they'd come up with. They felt involved, i mean it totally wasn't like they made all of their music already, but still, they wanted to be as involved as possible.

"I'm sure they will, i'm pretty sure Erin had a chat with them just to explain a bit on how we do things." Chan told them, getting either head nods or hums.

They dismissed the meeting after joking around, claiming that there was no choreographer quite like Erin. Erin understood the crazy and playful bunch of boys, and being younger himself, got along quite well with them. Thus, they were pretty sure they'd have this new one pulling their hair and screaming bloody murder in a couple days. Exactly why there was no choreographer like Erin.

Mid day the next day, They'd gotten to the dance studio earlier than planned just so they could make a good first impression. As much as they joked about it, they didn't want to make themselves nor the company look bad. They also wanted to give Erin as much time to recover. They didn't want him getting called back cause his substitute bailed—because of them.

Upon arrival, they did some stretching, and even decided to run through a couple songs they knew the dances to just to fully warm up. Checking his watch, Chan immediately called for a little huddle. "Okay, they should be here soon, so guys please, let's not drive them insane." He begged causing the others to chuckle.
