Taehyung is sprawled on the studio floor once again, but helping Suho with his feet placement. It’s well into the hours of the day, which is why Taehyung’s head springs up when he hears the bell. Your small figure sheepishly makes an appearance which causes Taehyung to smirk a bit. His amusement is doused with confusion when a kid follows closely behind you. He put two and two together and a subtle smile replaces his confused frown.
“Don’t worry, I got it.” He tells Hoseok with a wave of his hand. He bounces up from the floor and heads towards the recption area. He notices how a tiny gasp leaves your lips and how you quickly avert your gaze. Your eyes are everywhere, on everything─but him. He thinks you’re shy, maybe would’ve preferred Hoseok because he was more familiar to you.
“Hi,” He breathes. He slings the towel he had been holding around his neck and ruffles his hair a bit.
“I brought a kid,” You blurt out a little too quickly. Your hand is placed quite firmly on the little girl’s shoulder. She, on the other hand, has the biggest smile on her face. Taehyung reciprocates the gesture, holding up his arm for a high five.
The girl is eager to meet his palm with hers, giggling a bit. “I’m Taehee.”
Taehyung does a dramatic gasp, “I’m Taehyung. We almost have the same names, don’t you think?”
He doesn’t miss the way your eyes shoot to his figure when he speaks. He doesn’t miss the way your fingers tap rapidly on Taehee’s shoulders. So he looks at you. Straightens his figure then lends you a smile. He doesn’t want to force you into an awkward conversation though, so he just draws out a form from the drawer at the desk.
You’re still blank when he hands you the form, hesitant to take it from him. You do, though. Taehyung watches as you study the form carfully, with a small pout on your lips.
“Do you dance?” He asks softly, a silly excuse for a conversation. You look up at him with a ‘Hm?’ then laugh almost immediately, shaking your head in denial. A small smile dances on his lips.
“Do you know how to dance?” A second try. You take the bait this time and he’s glad.
“I wish, ugh,” You say with a roll of your eyes, then continue, “That’s why I brought her, so she can’t end up like me or her mother.”
There’s a pang of relief Taehyung feels when you confirm she’s not your daughter. He saw quite a bit of resemblance between you both, though.
“Oh? Not your kid?” He gestures towards her and you smile, shaking your head. He likes that you’re easing up to him. It’s more comfortable.
“You’ve got quite a resemblance,” He mumbles as he leans against the desk, eyes peeking into the form you’re still trying to fill. You feign offense when you hear it with a scoff thats all too dramatic.
“Do I really look that old? My best friend’s daughter actually. She’s not old, actuallyju but she’s old enough to birth a seven year old,” You ramble on and Taehyung just hums in acknowledgement.
“So, you wanna learn?” He offers and your blank stare makes him clarify,“To dance. You wanna learn how to dance?”
You look at him for a bit then at the form. You give it a little thought then nod slowly.
“I can teach you.” He weighs out the chances of you agreeing or not. The way you gape at him almost makes him retract his offer.
“I know I’m small but I’m sure I’d stick out in a children’s dance studio,” You say matter-of-factly. Taehyung waits for you to laugh after your statement. You don’t. So he does instead. It’s an almost full blown laughter which makes Taehee jump a bit and Hoseok narrow his eyes at him. You’re still not laughing. At this point, Taehyung is baffled that you weren’t joking.
“I meant to teach you. One on one. I have quite some free time,” His fingers tap against the table anxiously, eyes fixed on the paper which you just finished your signature on.
He notices your hesitation and nods instead, "Give it some thought then,"
His smile is so contagious that it forces one out of you when you nod in response, gesturing for Taehee to follow in.
"Alright. See you around, I guess," He waves at you slightly as he leads Taehee into the studio and you turn to leave. You don't waste even a second.
"Damn, she's cute," Taehyung mutters to himself with a wide grin. He shakes the thought off and proceeds to introduce Taehee to the kids.
