Far Away (BTS Hybrid Au)

Dance Partner

Eun-Jae's pov

"Alright guys, we only got a week left before our performance at the cafe. You guys have shown great improvement from last practice. I want you all to keep practicing whether it's alone or with one of the other members. We'll hold practice on Saturday around 3. Good job today guys. Now go home and rest!" Suho called, as I panted heavily. "You okay, Jae? You took quite a fall during practice." Kai asked, as he came over to me. "I'm alright. Don't worry, I just need to get the hang of the steps and I should be fine." I shrugged, taking a swig of water. "Alright." Kai smiled, saying his goodbyes before he left. "Jae, you're still having a bit of trouble with the choreo, aren't you?" Sehun asked, coming over to me as I packed my bag. "I'll be fine, Sehun. Trust me. I just need to practice a bit more. I'll get it." I smiled, "Alright.. But if you have anymore trouble just text me or Baekhyun." He offered, "I will. See ya later."

~Hours later~

I was slowly growing frustrated with myself, at the moment, I was at home in the game room. Since the room was lined with wood, it made the perfect dance space for me, especially since it was huge. I had pushed all of the furniture back, restarting the song and got into position. I took a deep breath, getting ready to take position and counted as the song started. I fumbled over the steps, making me groan loudly in frustration. I restarted the song, trying to go over the steps again. I was doing good, until halfway through the song when I stumbled over my own foot. "Kit, what are you doing?" I looked up and spotted Jimin and Yoongi were standing in the doorway, as I blew my hair out of my face. I turned the music off as both of them came over to me, "I'm trying to practice this choreography we learned but I can't seem to actually get the steps.. And what's most frustrating is that we have a performance next week. Sehun can't come over to even help me since he's busy." I sighed, running my hands through my hair.

"Did you guys record the dance practice?" He asked.

"Actually, we did."

I grabbed my phone, pulling up my gallery and handed Jimin my phone. I clicked play, as he took a seat on the table next to me. Yoongi sat on the other side of him, leaning over his shoulder to watch. He watched silently, looking focused on our foot movement and hand gestures. Once it was done, Jimin handed me the phone and smiled while Yoongi leaned back. "Mind if I try it out?" He asked, "You sure? The choreography is kind of difficult." I raised an eyebrow at him, taking a swig from my water bottle. "Yeah, I'll be fine." He jumped down from the table, as I took another swig from the water bottle and pushed play. Yoongi and I sat back and watched Jimin dance.

I did a spit take, as Jimin perfectly moved his body to the song. I couldn't believe how easily he was able to hit the moves, his body moved graciously with each step. He managed to stay on beat the whole time, not once fumbling the steps. Once the song came to an end, I slammed my water bottle and squealed loudly, making Yoongi slightly flinch. Jimin flinched, not expecting the reaction from me. I let out another squeal, launching my body at him. The calico cat hybrid caught me in his arms, looking down at me slightly confused at my sudden squeal. "Why'd you squeal like that?" He asked, looking down at me. "You were amazing!!! Chim, do you know how rare it is for someone to pick up choreography that difficult in one sitting? That was incredible! Jiminie, you are so talented!" I looked up at him, my eyes looking at him in awe. Jimin blushed, his tail swishing happily as his ears perked up. "You really think so?" He stuttered a bit, seeming embarrassed.

"Yes!! I do!! Jimin, you are incredible!" He smiled, making me squeal again and poke his cheeks.

"Don't you think so Yoongs?" I asked, "Sure thing Kitten." Yoongi smiled, in the months that these two had been with me, Jimin came up with the nickname 'Kit' and Yoongi often called me 'Kitten'.

"Do you want me to help you learn it? Maybe I can be a better teacher than Sehun. What do you think?"

"Uh.. I think hell yeah! You were made for this." Jimin and I smiled at one another, as he began teaching me the choreography from the top while Yoongi sat back and watched the two of us. Needless to say, I was able to pick up on it better as Jimin was very patient with me. Even when I made mistakes, he encouraged me to keep going. We went through each step and it seemed Jimin made a far better teacher than Suho or Sehun, although Sehun is amazing at dancing. Once we went over the steps several times, Jimin stepped back towards my phone.

"Okay, how about we try this? I want you to try doing the choreography with the music this time. I'll record. What do you say?" He asked. "Sure." Jimin hit play and started recording as I took my beginning position and remembered the steps that we went over.

"WAH!!!" Jimin shouted, his tail swishing happily about as he put my phone down on the table. I panted heavily, trying to catch my breath as a smile formed on his face. "Wah!!! Kit!! You did so well!! That was incredible!" He smiled, letting out a bright laugh as I looked at him in shock.

"Really? Do you really think so?"

"I know so!!! Kit, you did amazing!! I guess I really am a better teacher than those two idiots." Jimin smiled.

"What do you think?" I turned over to look at Yoongi, who was smiling at me.

"You did incredible, Kitten. Really, Jimin did a great job teaching you. You both have a natural talent for dancing." He said.

"I did it!! Thank you so much, Chim!! Oh my god!!!" I launched my sweaty body at Jimin, who caught me in his arms and swung me around as we both let out a loud laugh. Once he set me down on my feet, I kissed both of his cheeks and smiled brightly as I got an idea. I pulled away from Jimin, taking a swig from my water bottle. Yoongi leaned forward, kissing my hair as he moved my phone over. "Chim, what do you think about this?" I started, looking back over my shoulder at him. "What's up?" He asked, looking over at me.

"What do you say about you becoming my dance partner? I can take you to dance practice with me and learn choreographies together. What do you say?" I asked, Jimin looked at me with wide eyes, staying completely silent.

"YES!!!" Jimin suddenly shouted, making me jump. Yoongi only chuckled at his enthusiasm, shaking his head.

"Alright then. It's settled, you are my new dance partner." I smiled, as I turned off the music.

"Hey, by the way, what's the sauce with tonight's dinner?" Jimin asked.

"Carbonara."

"Lachimolala?"

Yoongi and I couldn't hold the laughter back at Jimin's mispronunciation. He only said it again, complaining to me causing the both of us to laugh even harder.

"Hey!! It's not funny!!"

"But it is."
