The dance studio || hyunjin x f reader

n i n e 💓

I've been working for about 2 hours now it's just after 2pm, I'm cleaning up tables and taking glasses into the kitchen to get clean when the news started to play on the tv in the cafe. I wasn't paying much attention to it.

It was about 10 minutes into the news when something caught my attention, the reporter talking about the uproar on social media. What Kai was talking about.

'Fans have been going crazy after the Hwang Hyunjin posted a dancing video with a young lady, in the video the young woman's face is blurred for confidentiality but fans are wanting to know who this talented young woman is on the video.'

I stand there in absolute utter shock, what the fuck! He posted the video from our dance session the other week, why would he do that?!

Kai is behind the counter speaking to a customer not paying any attention to the tv screen, i quickly walk behind the counter and Kai looks at me confused, "are you-" I quickly cut him off "cover for me for a minute I'm gonna use the restroom." I say and he just nods his head.

I quickly go into the staff bathroom and lock the door, I take my phone out from my apron pocket and go onto Instagram, quickly searching up realstraykids, I click the profile and there it is the video at the dance studio that day.

I click it and the caption is '멋진 안무가의 멋진 안무' or 'great choreography from an amazing choreographer' I am flattered that he was so happy with the choreo but I can't believe he posted it!

I clicked on the comments, that was probably my biggest mistake. There were a load of nice comments about my dancing and then there was the horrible ones about my body, dancing, and how I shouldn't be near hyunjin.

I felt defeated, i decided to put my phone away before I began to cry, I pulled myself together and then left the bathroom and got back to work.

I was a bit off and Kai could tell but he didn't dare ask me what was wrong due to the fact there were a load of customers and I looked like I was about to cry.

5pm, finally, I am in the back grabbing my bag from the locker and I head for the front door, on my way out I see Kai waiting for me, we often walk home together as he lives in the apartment building a couple blocks after mine.

I smile at him and we begin to walk home, there is a comfortable silence as we walk for about 10 minutes but I decided to break it, "I know you want to ask me what was wrong during work." I state, Kai looks at me and sighs.

"I do but if you don't want to say then that is fine." Kai is a very caring friend to me, he's respectful and doesn't like to push me into things I'm not comfortable with.

I sigh, "It's nothing..." I pause, and yes I do lie but I'm not comfortable tell him the truth yet, "I'm just stressed about MiHi's mum and I'm not sleeping the best..." a great thing I am blessed with is insomnia.

"Is your insomnia getting bad again?" Yes. I have these periods of time where my insomnia is really bad, like not sleeping at all during the night other times I get like 2 hours of sleep, but then it gets better and I am able to sleep for at least 5-6 hours a night sometimes, however that happens for maybe a couple weeks and then I go back to being really bad.

"Ye, it's been getting really bad." I am so fed up with being so drained everyday I wish it would just go away already, but I'm stuck with not being able to get a good nights sleep.

I could tell Kai was feeling sorry for me as on the last 10 minutes of the walk to my apartment we were silent. As we reached the door of my apartment building I gave Kai a quick hug, "Thanks for always being there for me." I smiled and waved him off.

I walked to the elevator, got in and press my floor number, I felt so tired and was praying I would get a decent sleep tonight, the elevator doors pinged and I got out reaching my door and unlocking it before stepping in.

I locked the front door, took my shoes off and head straight for my bedroom, changing into my pjs and brushing my teeth + hair, before crawling into my bed and finally being able to relax my body.

Please let me get to sleep.
