HOPE WORLD DANCE STUDIO | GWANG-JU, SOUTH KOREA
PLANET EARTH
MARCH, 2023
"Ready? 5, 6, 7, 8-!"
A chorus of dancers move powerfully in time to the blaring music. Finally, after hours of practice, they are moving together, coordinating into one beautiful performance. There are still some minor mistakes to iron out... but Hoseok knows they are nearly there.
He smiles to himself proudly, shooting them a huge thumbs up.
At Hope World Dance Studio, there is no room for negativity.
When the performance finishes, he applauds loudly, gathering all of the dancers together.
"Well done everyone! Great work today. Make sure you rest well, and I will see you all tomorrow!"
The dancers filter out, weary but with huge smiles on their faces. They all thank Hoseok as they leave one-by-one, until eventually he is alone, gazing at his own reflection in the studio mirrors.
Although the lines are beginning to appear around his eyes, and the first signs of grey hair would surely be visible if his hair wasn't dyed a shocking platinum blonde, Hoseok has never felt so alive.
In his nearly forty years on Earth, Hoseok had never dreamed that he would finally be able to open his own dance studio. He worked hard for many years, and finally felt his dream slipping away from him as he reached his early thirties. He would forever be an assistant, never the leader. He was on the edge of giving up.
Until his Guardian arrived.
Hoseok still thinks of him every day. Still sends up a silent prayer of gratitude for everything he did for him all those years ago. Still thinks of the lessons he taught him, about being assertive, and confident, and going after his dreams with passion.
It's thanks to him that, at the age of 39, Hoseok finally has his own studio.
A pang of sadness runs through him at the memory, missing his Guardian more than usual today. Last time, the angel had mentioned something about being promoted soon. Hoseok wonders if he got it. Maybe that's why he hasn't visited him in so long.
More than anything else, he hopes his angel is happy, wherever he is.
Hoseok turns to leave the studio, shutting out all of the lights as he does. He smiles again at the thought of the rehearsal today, glad that he is able to do the thing he loves every single day.
Who knows? Maybe his angel has found a love of his own.
