Simplicity- KTH

"What if you have them in black and then you in white? Or, I don't know, something to show an obvious difference." Sarang asked Jin.

"I mean, I want it to be obvious that it's the other members. But I also want other people, I don't know how to explain it." Jin sighed, Namjoon and Taehyung were of course, also in the room with the two.

"Oh, then have them be separated." Sarang began, "Have there be a big group of people behind them doing the choreo Jungkook and I came up with. Then have the six members be in front of them. I don't know, maybe have them do a mix of what you're doing and the choreo. So they're like a transition for the rest of the people to you."

"I have no idea what you said but I understood every word." Namjoon commented. "Seokjinnie, just do that. Tomorrow after practice we can ask the back up dancers to stay back and help us map it out."

"Explain it again, two out of the three Kims are confused." Taehyung said.

"I'll draw it." Sarang said, grabbing her phone and drawing on a note.

"The darkest colour would be all the backup dancers. This middle line is us, Jimin, Hoba, Jungkook and Yoongi. This circle would be Jin." Namjoon explained as she drew.

"Ohh, so it's almost like a gradient?" Jin asked.

"Exactly." Namjoon and Sarang said in unison. "Tomorrow we can map it out with everyone else." Namjoon said, Sarang nodded along with what he said.

"Okay, thank you kwiyeongun*." Jin said before standing up. "I'm going home, I did enough for today." He said, stretching. "Are you still helping me lay it all together?" He asked, directing his question to Namjoon.

"Yeah, I'll start it tomorrow morning and play it for you to see what you think." Namjoon said, "Sarangie, are you still going to see Soonyoung if he needs you?" He asked.

"I forgot to ask him earlier, do you think he's still here?" Sarang replied, thinking back on the day.

"It's only 5, he normally stays late, I'll go with you if you want." Namjoon offered.

"Please? It's been a month and I still get lost." She laughed.

"Let's go. You coming Tae?" He asked, Tae had been extremely quiet. It was obvious to Jin who was watching him that he was jealous.

"Sure." He said, seemingly more relaxed.

The three made their way out of Jin's studio. Namjoon walked in front of Taehyung and Sarang while they held hands. Namjoon introduced Sarang to where different groups were located. They were heading toward Seventeen's side to find Soonyoung (Hoshi) so Sarang could go over a few things with him. "Horanghae." Namjoon said, teasing Soonyoung as the three walked in.

"Hyung, please stop." He laughed.

"No, it's fun. Here's Sarang." He said. "I'll leave you guys, I need to eat something." Namjoon added before walking out.

"Thanks hyung. Hi Sarang, hey V-hyung." He smiled.

"Hey Hosh." Taehyung greeted with a small smile and a wave.

"Hey Soonyoung. So do you want to go over everything really quickly?" Sarang asked. She had let go of Taehyung's hand to wave.

"Sure, you guys can come in and sit down."

"Why'd you let go?" Taehyung whispered.

"To wave, here, have it back." Sarang said, putting her hand back in his. "Stop getting so jealous." She whispered before sitting and going over a choreo plan with Soonyoung. He was bothered by her tone in how she said to stop getting so jealous. They were planning on having all of the back up dancers that worked at Hybe to perform and Soonyoung was in charge since Hoseok had declined. He had chosen ten front liners, one of which was Sarang.

"Why were you getting all jealous and upset with me?" Sarang asked in the car.

"I don't know what you're talking about." Taehyung said, his tone and energy was far from happy.

"Stop it, you know what I mean. I saw you get upset when Jin called me lovely and when Namjoon offered to walk with me to find Soonyoung." She said, pulling her hair back. "Oh, and when I let go of your hand to wave."

"I didn't get upset." He said with a huff, visibly annoyed.

"Taehyung, you're obviously upset. Talk to me."

"I just didn't like it, that's it." He turned his head to look out of the left mirror but more to avoid Sarang.

"Namjoon and Jin are very clearly into each other, Soonyoung and I don't even know each other in any manner other than work related and I'm very obviously into only you." She said, taking his right hand off of the gearshift and holding it with her left. "Or is that not clear?"

"It's clear." He sighed, feeling better. He was fighting a small smile that was creeping onto his face.

"Make sure it stays clear." Sarang said, reaching over to plant a small kiss on his cheek. "Although it's kinda cute seeing you all mad." She laughed.

"I wasn't cute." He pouted.

"It was adorable." She said, earning an upset glance from Taehyung. "Don't look at me like that. It's cute because they're harmless. The only person I'm hooked on is you."

"Let it stay that way." He said, allowing himself to finally smile.

"Yes sir." She giggled.

The lovely pairing felt less tension in the car after finally talking. Taehyung had to admit to himself that he was being immature over the interactions other people had with Sarang. No one had the intention of flirting with her or disrupting their 'situationship'. He was incredibly possessive but felt it was useless since they weren't even officially together, it hurt him a bit to know anyone could technically take her away from him but at the same time, he knew Sarang and he were exclusive. They both mutually agreed that they would only be seeing each other.

Taehyung laid on the floor of Sarang's apartment while she went over a routine for another group. Taegeu was in the dining room doing a review for school, she had gotten used to seeing Taehyung come over and was less starstruck as before.

"Take a break, you've been at it for an hour." Taegeu called from where she was sitting.

"Already?" Sarang asked, not realising how long had passed.

"Yes and I'm tired just looking at you. Poor Taehyung is falling asleep waiting for you, look at him." Taegeu laughed.

"Yeah! Just look at me!" Taehyung said.

"I'll stop for tonight. Good luck on your final tomorrow." Sarang said to Taegue, "Let's go." She said to Taehyung, not needing to tell him twice. He got up instantly and followed her to her bedroom where he could fall asleep.

"Sarang." He called her as she dressed herself post shower.

"Yes?" She replied, pulling on a t-shirt.

"When you were in school for dance, were you like this?" Taehyung asked, adjusting himself to be more comfortable on her bed. m

"Like this how?" Sarang asked, walking towards him to lay beside him.

"As in, practising like your life depended on it. You go over choreographies for hours on end." He asked as her head finally rested beside his.

"Oh, yeah. I'm a bit of a perfectionist." She shrugged.

"I've noticed, now fall asleep with me. I'm dying." He said as he finally let his eyelids fall shut.
