Dance Connection (Eunhyuk x Reader)

Chapter 15

A few weeks later....

'Ah, finally, to the class.' Seoyeon was bubbling with excited anxiety. 'So lucky that openings were available in the evening slot...' she thought as she roamed around looking for the studio, 'this looks like the place, yeah'. She paused for a second in front of the door. 'Well, too late to get anxious, no point anymore. You are here, so let's do it.' Seoyeon's heart was pounding. She had kept her word and turned up for the class but was unsure who would. She breathed and stepped into the class.

Seoyeon was dressed in lounge pants and a loose t-shirt, with a gym bag on her shoulder. 'Always a good idea to change at the studio,' she remembered Donghae's advice. Seoyeon asked a lady at the side for the changing room and immediately went in to change. She changed and stepped out, noticing someone new in the front of the class, sitting with his back to the people, rummaging through a bag. 'Probably the teacher', she guessed, as she went and stood at the back of the class. Suddenly, she heard his voice "all right, before we begin, I want all first-timers to come to the first row, please." 'Oh, no', Seoyeon thought as she apprehensively made her way to the front row. The teacher was bent down with his back to the class and tying his shoelace. "Okay then, let's start!" the teacher got up and turned to face the class. Seoyeon's eyes went wide, looking at the teacher... 'what the hell!?'.

Looking at the class from the mirror, Eunhyuk saw Seoyeon standing right behind him. He smiled to himself, glad that she was there. Making a straight face, he got up. "Okay, class, why don't the new students introduce themselves and how much they know about dancing," Eunhyuk was roaming around the class, "just to get familiar with each other. Sir, why don't you start?" He pointed at a guy standing at one end of the first row. The guy smiled, "sure! Hi everyone! My name is Kibum, but everyone calls me Key. I have done some street dancing before, but I really want to learn the choreo style of dancing, that's why I am here. I am very excited." "Nice to meet you, Key! Let's keep the excitement flowing! Let's hear from the next person." Like this, everyone introduced themselves and talked about their experience.

'This seems to be a very hi-fi class. How will I learn with them... and why is HE the teacher? He never said THAT!' "Ma'am?" Eunhyuk called out, and Seoyeon realised that he was talking to her. "Oh, sorry." Eunhyuk controlled his giggles. He was used to Seoyeon getting lost in her world - he found it very cute. But his surprise had really caught her off guard, and he was having a lot of fun looking at her reaction. He cleared his throat. "Please introduce yourself." Seoyeon glared at him but continued. "Hi all, my name is Seoyeon. I have no dancing experience like many folks here have; I used to perform a little bit long back" 'Oh? Perform, huh? Interesting.' Eunhyuk mentally smirked. "I hope to be able to learn and match up to you guys in due time. Please support me!" Seoyeon shyly finished. Eunhyuk smiled. "Thank you, Seoyeon; We appreciate your candidness. We will all support you, won't we, class?" everyone cheered Seoyeon as she shyly smiled and took in the positivity. She looked at him, and he also smiled at her - but his smile was different to her. It was sent butterflies flying in her tummy.

...The class continued with introductions and meeting everyone...

"Great, now that we know everyone, why don't we start? In choreography, to learn the basics, it is always easier to learn through song. So, let's try on a song. We will learn the basic moves and use the song to practice them. Let's learn Mango by Super Junior for the first few classes." Eunhyuk was now standing in the front of the class. He turned and faced the mirror. "Now, let's learn the intro first. Everyone, form a queue behind the person standing before you." People assembled in queues. "So now, the first person, point the finger at the mirror and rotate your wrist like this', Eunhyuk showed the step, and Seoyeon noticed that the steps were exactly the same as she had seen Donghae do at the disc on the trip. Eunhyuk described every step by breaking it into small nuances, making it easy for Seoyeon to follow and remember.

After doing the steps on counts for some time, Eunhyuk declared, "Okay, it seems we should do counts more. Let's do them on faster counts." He was giving counts as everyone did the dance steps on them. He was observing everyone, but his eyes were inadvertently moving to Seoyeon. She was struggling in the beginning, and he had noticed that. However, she was getting better with every repetition. He could see that she was showing a lot of potential.

"Okay, that's a lot of time with counts. let's try with music now." Eunhyuk switched the player on, and a familiar song played. "La la la la la la la...." "Ah! That's why!" Seoyeon exclaimed loudly. She realised it was the same song that Donghae and Eunhyuk performed on the disc. "What's why?" Key tapped her and asked. She realised that the entire class had heard her and was looking at her, bewildered. In the corner next to the stereo system, Eunhyuk was trying to control his laughter, but his giggles escaped. "Ah, nothing, nothing, sorry!" she apologised, embarrassed.

Eunhyuk cleared his throat. "Okay, class, let's start." The music played, and the class tried to do steps with him. It was not easy because the steps were much faster on music than on counts. Everyone practised, but suddenly an alarm rang. "Okay, it is time for the class to end now. We will meet next time. I hope you had fun! See you!" everyone dispersed around and picked up their things. Seoyeon went to change her clothes in the changing room.

When she came out, only Eunhyuk was in the room, packing things. She looked around and then went to Eunhyuk and hit his biceps. "Owww! What?" "What do you mean, what?? What the hell!? You didn't tell me that you are the teacher; you made it seem like you knew the teacher." Eunhyuk gave a mischievous smile. "Technically, I DO know the teacher. It is ME. Since I know myself, I wasn't lying... OWWWW!!!" The cheeky remark earned another hit on his biceps from Seoyeon. "You hit so hard!" he said, rubbing his arm. "Oh yeah?" Seoyeon continued hitting him with every word, "I.." slap... "will..." slap... "get you for this!" Eunhyuk chuckled, rubbing his arm. "But, honestly, did you have fun?" Seoyeon thought for some time, "Honestly, ya. I felt very nice." A bright smile appeared on her face. Eunhyuk was glad. "Good, let's keep that spirit up." "Yes, sir!" They chuckled. "What will you do now?" "I am going home. You?" "I will go to socials to dance and meet people." "Cool, see you next time, then." "See ya!" they both picked up their bags and left for their respective destinations.
