hyunjin took felix to a theatre he always dances at.

he knew it was empty today, and since he had some friends inside, he was able to get inside.
felix was following him like a lost puppy.
hyunjin found that adorable.

suddenly, they were on the stage, the light shining on them.

"uhm, so....how did we even got here? how is it possible that we can be here?" felix asked, still confused.

"you know I'm a dancer, this shouldn't surprise you at all." hyunjin chuckled.

"wait....does that mean that you danced here before?"

"uhm....well, yeah, I dance here often."

felix made a "oh" sound and nodded his head in understatement.
"wait, wait, wait, why haven't I never heard of you?"

"what?"

"you said that you dance here often, but I never heard of you? I live near here, and no hwang hyunjin ever danced here."

"uhm...that's completely off the topic, let's just dance, okay?"

felix looked at him suspiciously.
"why are you trying to change the topic?"

"I'm not doing that."

"yes you are."

"let's just dance, shall we?"

felix let it slide this time and nodded.

"so, can you show me how to dance?"

"oh, yeah, I will teach you some choreography I know." hyunjin said and went to the speaker, playing "womanizer".

"I choreographed this myself."
hyunjin said proudly.

felix nodded and sat on the ground.
hyunjin started dancing, and Felix's jaw dropped.

hyunjins body moved so smoothly, hyunjin wasn't following the music, the music was following hyunjin.

wait.

why did it look so familiar?

the moves were smooth and clean, very light. his body moved in sync with the music, and felixs eyes couldn't leave him.

this was so familiar.
he felt like he was just experiencing dejavú.

where did he see this before?

he started thinking, wanting to find out where did he see this before.

his eyes widened when he remembered one peculiar night.

...a masked dancer.

Felix's eyes widened.

"enough talking about me, what about you? what do you do for work?" felix asked

"nothing much. im a dancer."
hyunjin said

"you're a dancer? that is so cool! how does it work?"
felix asked, curious.

"I mostly dance at the theaters. It's just something about the vibe that I like. They pay me a good money, so it's enough for me."

"uhm, so....how did we even got here? how is it possible that we can be here?" felix asked, still confused.

"you know I'm a dancer, this shouldn't surprise you at all." hyunjin chuckled.

"wait....does that mean that you danced here before?"

"uhm....well, yeah, I dance here often."

felix made a "oh" sound and nodded his head in understatement.
"wait, wait, wait, why haven't I never heard of you?"

"what?"

"you said that you dance here often, but I never heard of you? I live near here, and no hwang hyunjin ever danced here."

"uhm...that's completely off the topic, let's just dance, okay?"
