Just Dance

I learned that my parents had no idea Ryan was bailed out. A bit of research on their part found that an old friend of his bailed him out. An old friend who is part of the reason why Ryan started his criminal career many moons ago.

Keri and Lilly are safe, still living in a shelter an hour away from me. I hope to get a chance to visit them soon now that finals are over. I've been texting Keri and getting updates on Lilly and honestly I can't wait to hold her again.

Ryan has been sitting in jail without bail since they realized he's a flight risk. In the meantime I've been able to get a restraining order against him. If for whatever reason he gets out again he's not allowed within 100 feet of me. I feel a little better now that that's done.

Jimin is gearing up for his summer class that he agreed to teach solo. It's a much more fast paced class since it's 8 weeks long rather than the usual 15-16. As before, his class will have a performance at the end of the term, and I think he may pull his hair out before the term even starts.

On top of that he still hasn't been cleared by his doctor to dance. It seems he's been feeling more pressured since then. He's been putting all of his energy into his class performance this time around. He's working hard on choreography and even harder on strengthening his leg. He says his doctor told him he's close, but not quite there yet. He's starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel and he's beyond ready to continue his passion on stage.

We're all on track to graduate next spring so I decided not to enroll in any summer courses. I know I'll probably be stressed out all year so I want to take the summer to just relax a bit. Plus, after this year I feel like I definitely need a break.

Tae decided to take one film class over the summer as an elective. He really enjoys it and I think he does amazing working with film. I see him less but he always comes by occasionally to show me what he's working on and eat my snacks.

Jin and I are nearing the end of our lease and we haven't fully decided if we'll renew or not. Actually I don't plan on going anywhere so I have no problem renewing my lease.

Jin on the other hand is unsure of what he wants to do. He recently signed a contract with an entertainment company that got him cast in a small but important role in a new drama. He's toying with the idea of dropping out of school completely to focus on that. If he does then he'll move closer to his new agency and I would have to find a new roommate.

I don't want Jin to leave school for selfish reasons, but honestly I'm happy for him. If he gets the chance to drop out and make it big then I encourage it, he's amazing at what he does.

Finding a new roommate would be easy if I could get Jimin to move in with me. But I'm not sure he'd leave Hoseok without a roommate. They're both very close and are like roommate soulmates. I doubt he'd leave Hoseok behind so I don't even bother to ask. I'll just continue holding out hope that Jin will stick around just one more year.

After midterms I decide that Jimin and I should go out. While he's been on campus working day in and day out I've been doing freelance work, mostly weddings and small events. Still it's not enough to keep me fully occupied during the times that Jimin is gone. I'm starting to miss him quite a bit so I decided we would have date night this weekend.

We start our evening at an arcade for some friendly competition. We decide to make a bet where we'll play various games and whoever loses the most games will have to buy dinner the next time we go out. That makes the friendly part of the competition a little less friendly.

He beats me at air hockey and basketball but that's where his win streak ends. I beat him with ease at Guitar Hero and surprisingly I win at Dance Dance Revolution as well. We play a few racing games and I walk away with a clear win. Afterwards we go to a Korean BBQ restaurant where I relish in my victory.
