Second Chances | 𝚠𝚘𝚘𝚜𝚊𝚗

The Start, of Something New.

San likes to believe that taking the scholarship offer for a chance to study at the most prestigious dance academy in America was the best decision he's ever made. A change of scenery, friends, his dad visiting every couple of months. Plus the chance to perfect his dancing amongst the most talented people in the world? Count him in.

Life really couldn't be going any better for him; a group of friends who stick around despite his weird tendencies, getting to open up concerts and shows for some of the biggest artists to ever come to Los Angeles. He couldn't help the sense of disappointment at being able to dance backup for BTS, without him...

It doesn't matter. He is irrelevant. San is happy, goddamnit, and he won't let his past come back, ruining everything he'd built for himself in the past 7 years, having been able to secure a permanent spot as a backup dancer when needed. Gosh, nothing could ruin this for him.

'I-I'm sorry...we're going WHERE?"

"San-ah, relax. We already knew this was apart of the jo-"

San, in fact, could not relax. He hasn't been back there since he'd hopped on a plane and left, for what he thought was forever. He is not and probably never will be ready to see him again. Especially with how they had ended thing- no.

It was his fault things ended that way. There was no way in hell San would let it affect him anymore.
He hasn't seen him for almost ten years. He can handle this. He will.

"B-But Jinnie, I can't. Minho-hyung! You agree with me, right?" The younger lets his lips fall into a slight pout as he stares at Minho, huffing out a breath when all he gets in reply is a chuckle.

"You've probably already told Binnie, and Binnie told him and now he might be there when we get there and it's gonna be AWKWARD!"

"Okay, one, Changbin doesn't know we're coming back yet. The only person who knows is probably Felix and that's cause he fuckeditoutofHyunjinlastmonth!" Minho managed to run away from Hyunjin before he could get smacked upside the head, the boy rolling his eyes before turning back to the still sulky boy.

"Sannie, it's really easy to ignore him. You've done it for the last seven years right? And he hasn't tried to contact you? I know you never changed your number." He waited until he got a nod of affirmation before continuing, "then relax! You'll have me and Minho to protect you."

"Yah! You brat! It's still Hyung to you! Even if we are in America right now! Don't forget about the air fryer!"

As if on command, Hyunjin mumbled out "20 minutes 180. That's how long it takes to cook Jinnie in the air fryer."

San watched as Lee Know gave himself a pat on the back, a nervous smile lifting his lips before falling into a pout again, worrying at his bottom lip.

"H-how long...are we staying, I mean? I wanna be able to leave as soon as possible if it's just a few days..."
Amidst his rambling, San saw the hesitant look in Hyunjin's eyes.

"Uhm...maybe like six...." He trailed off towards the end of his sentence, turning away from the boy staring at him as if he said he's gonna steal Shiber away from him.

"I'm sorry. I thought I heard you say six months. Surely I heard you wrong, right? Because that would be ridiculous. You meant six weeks right?" A sarcastic laugh left him as he tried to play off the misheard word as a joke, waiting for Hyunjin to say it was in fact six weeks. Because six weeks? He can handle. Six months? It might be time to find a new job.

"Right, Jinnie?"
"AIR FRYER."

"YES ITS SIX MONTHS. GOSH." Hyunjin let out a small whine at the gaze San kept on him, huffing as he crossed his arms. "It's not my fault you never check your emails. Why do you think they told us we could stay home while over there? Idiot."
San didn't bother to stay tuned in for the rest of Hyunjin's ranting, staring blankly at the ceiling of their shared apartment. Six months. The longest and first time he'd be home in 7 years.

Six.
Months.

Oh fuck, I'm screwed.

A/N: If you're reading this, this means I've returned from my mental health hiatus and am doing really good right now!

I wanted to say thank you, you guys gave me 4.2k reads while I was on hiatus and I love you all so much.
Please do read down below. (:

I'm sorry this update is so short, I just wanted to give a bit of insight on Sannie is doing rn, if it wasn't obvious: He, Lee Know and Hyunjin were all scouted by *unnamed academy* while still in college, and they all left their previous college to go there, where they trained professionally. They're now all professional dancers who are hired to dance backup for idols, mv's, etc.

While Lee Know and Hyunjin visit Seoul, San does not. His parents come to LA to see him, and that's fine by him. He still keeps in touch with Mingi, Jongho and Seonghwa + Hongjoong.

If it wasn't obvious, him is Wooyoung, there is Seoul.

I'll probably reveal what happened when they broke up, which was the day before San left for Los Angeles. It was fucked up, I'll tell you that. But Sannie does some fucked up shit too. Not cheating, none of that. Please also take note, yes San did the 'innocent + naive personality'. He changed. So, if he's not as sweet/nice as he was before, you know why.
