Today was the day that BTS were finally going to meet the choreographer that Narae had brought on to work on the album with her. Or it would be if she ever decided to show up. Their meeting was supposed to start at ten o'clock, and it was currently ten minutes to the hour without any sign of her presence. Narae hurriedly sent a message to her, knowing it was uncharacteristic of her to be late on the first day of the job.

narae moon

princess tee👑

narae moon
......

princess tee👑
sorry, the sarcasm wasn't necessary, that was the stress talking 🙃. traffic seems to be moving up. see you soon xoxo

True to her words, she showed up shortly after her last message, at ten minutes past ten, slightly out of breath as she raced into the lobby where they were all waiting.

Her hair was done in small auburn hip length box braids with curls at the ends, held back by a black bandana to show off her youthful looking face. She had upturned light brown almond-shaped eyes, a snub nose, and heart-shaped lips with a deep cupid's bow, giving her entire visage a rather faerie-like appearance.

Her outfit consisted of an off-the-shoulder grey zip-up hoodie with matching sweatpants and camisole and she carried an iced coffee in one hand whilst the other clutched a black patterned tote bag.

She bowed deeply, "My apologies for being late, thank you for waiting for me, it won't happen again!"

"Ah no need for all of that, Narae-ssi already told us you were stuck in traffic and were frantically making your way over here." Namjoon told her, his usual dimpled smile on his face as he held his hand out for her to shake. "I'm Kim Namjoon as you might already know, feel free to just call me Namjoon."

"I'm Christianna Thompson, but everyone just calls me Tianna, it's a pleasure to meet you."

"Nice to meet you Tianna. To my left here is Hobi, you'll be working mainly with him over the next few months."

Narae watched as J-Hope introduced himself to Tianna, a much more subdued welcome than the one that she had received, though still with a smile on his face, "Hello, nice of you to finally join us. My name is Jung Hoseok, nice to meet you."

Hobi hadn't offered his hand for a handshake, so Tianna decided not to either, settling for a slight bow and simple response, "Likewise."

After introductions were made to the other members, Namjoon led the group to one of the dance studios on the third floor where their practises would take place.

Tianna stood at the front of the studio, watching intently as they ran through part of the choreography for 'Butter'. After their slight delay, they decided to dive straight into learning the choreography. Tianna had been sent the song as soon as it was confirmed to be on the album, meaning that she had already had time to choreograph most of it.
